Chapter 186 Death of Zhang Heng (4)
Ning Fu couldn't help but think of the difficulty again. How Jing Cheng "died" under the nose of Emperor Jingwen was also a difficult problem.
And it might not be easy for her to find Jingcheng. There must be Emperor Jingwen's spies near the tea house. She absolutely cannot go to find Jingcheng now.
Ning Fu thought of Li Qiu Sheng.
Although Li Qiu Sheng is quite close to Meng Ze now and will definitely be Meng Ze's man in the future, he does not have a deep foundation in the court now, so he may not be clear about all the twists and turns.
If Li Qiu Sheng realized that Jing Cheng was in Beijing, he would definitely go to check it out. It would be great if the message he gave to Jing Cheng could be delivered to the teahouse through him without anyone noticing.
Ning Fu was thinking when she suddenly heard Lu Xingzhi say, "Fourth Miss, I'll take my leave first."
She looked up at him and saw that his eyes were deep, as if he was recalling something through her. He was neither sad nor happy, and seemed like an outsider.
A thought flashed through Ning Fu's mind, but she couldn't grasp anything. Under Zong Si's gaze, she nodded and said, "Master Lu, have a safe journey."
Lu Xingzhi looked at her. She had always been a good girl. After getting married, she kept her distance from everyone. But in her previous life, he actually thought that she and Meng Ze had an affair.
"I remember that the fourth girl once doubted my identity because of Yinlimu." Lu Xingzhi looked at her and said.
At that time, Ning Fu suspected that he was Zong Si because of the incident of the silver pear wood, so she called him Lang Jun.
But when he mentioned it at this time, Ning Fu didn't know whether he was testing Zong Si on her behalf.
Zong Si said in a displeased tone, "Master Lu, do you have something else to do? I will take you there."
Lu Xingzhi did not refuse.
After the two walked away, Lu Xingzhi said, "Take good care of her."
"I am Afu's husband. It is not Mr. Lu's turn to worry about this matter." Zong Si said calmly, "In the future, Mr. Lu will not have to talk about his past life in front of her."
Lu Xingzhi raised his lips, but said calmly: "I'm afraid she will know my identity and snatch her away."
Zong Si glanced at him and said, "You can't take her away from me."
"Your Highness is right. I can't take her away from you." Lu Xingzhi was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "She probably doesn't even have time to hate me. To her, you and I are different."
Ning Fu has felt the goodness of Zong Si in this life, but in her opinion, Zong Si in the previous life was a bad man.
Lu Xingzhi added: "When she gave Zhuoyao to me, I wanted to pull her over to question her. Zhuoyao can be given away casually. I am the same as the prince. In this regard, I am a petty person. In fact, I am not even willing to give it to the prince, but... it is better for the prince to keep it."
Zong Si nodded slightly, not wanting to hear about their past.
Lu Xingzhi did not stay any longer. Although he was happy about their love, he did not want to see it with his own eyes. It would always remind him of his previous life. In fact, they had been loving and affectionate before.
When he was teaching Afu how to ride and shoot, he had a brief period of happiness. That was the most patient period in his life.
Lu Xingzhi thought of Ning Fu again. In fact, in the previous life, Afu had been a shy little lady. She humbly asked him for advice, holding his hand and said coquettishly: "Husband, I don't understand, please teach me again."
Nymph said: "I don't dare to be so shameless to others, but you are my husband, you are different from others, you bully me at night, I won't say anything to you, and you can't care about my slow learning, otherwise if you bully me again, I will say something to you."
Lu Xingzhi closed his eyes. Some memories were too beautiful. Afu at that time was also unique. He was the only one who had felt Ningfu's most sincere and passionate love. The more desolate he felt at this moment.
And if he died, no one knew where he would go. Maybe he would disappear from the world and turn into ashes, and gradually, everyone would forget about him.
Afu would never know that the worst husband in her heart had stayed with her for such a long time.
It’s okay not to know.
Lu Xingzhi opened his eyes, and his vision had regained clarity, and he did not linger any longer.
On the other side, Ning Fu had already gone to the main hall and saw the top scholar, Li Qiu Sheng.
"Madam Crown Prince." Li Qiu Sheng stood up and said. He had met her once in Liangzhou, so he did have some knowledge.
Ning Fu smiled and said: "I heard that Lord Li is from Liangzhou, is there a marriage partner?"
"Not yet." Li Qiu Sheng said.
"Lord Li is such a handsome man, all the women should be flocking to him, why did he get married so late?" Ning Fu asked curiously.
Li Qiu Sheng paused and said, "I once had a crush on someone, but that person died and I haven't gotten over it yet."
The only person he had ever loved was Jing Cheng, who had died once. If she had not been Jing Cheng's cousin, Li Qiu Sheng probably would not have mentioned this matter. After all, the Princess Kangyang Mansion was now in decline, and a smart person would not have anything to do with anyone in the Princess Mansion.
Ning Fu glanced at the cups that Jing Cheng had drunk from. The tea in them came from the tea house. The osmanthus tea among them had always been Jing Cheng's favorite. Perhaps this also made Li Qiu Sheng miss Jing Cheng.
"Princess, where does this osmanthus tea come from?" After a moment, Li Qiu Sheng asked.
Princess Xuan said, "I bought this from Dr. Mu in the suburbs."
Li Qiusheng said: "I see."
Ning Fu said: "Lord Li, if you want to go to the teahouse, you can bring the prescription to me. Doctor Mu is in the palace now and rarely comes back, so I don't have to make another trip."
As she spoke, she told Dongzhu to get the prescription.
"Dr. Mu is very busy, so the palace has invited the imperial physician to come and check on me. This is a prescription for having children, but Dr. Mu has more medicinal materials. When Dr. Mu comes back and gets the medicine for me, someone will deliver it to the palace." Ning Fu said.
Zong Si, who had just sent Lu Xingzhi away, came back and couldn't help but look at Ning Fu one more time.
The paper on which the prescription was written did come from the capital, and there was nothing wrong with the prescription. What was written on it were indeed only the medicinal ingredients. In addition, since it was an issue of seeking an heir, Li Qiu Sheng was naturally willing to do Prince Xuan's Mansion a favor.
"However, isn't it very convenient for the palace to send servants?" Li Qiu Sheng said.
Ning Fu said, "To be honest, this herb is not even in the palace. It must be extremely rare. It's called Fu Sheng Meng. There are probably only one or two of them in the world. I asked Doctor Mu for this good thing, but I was afraid that others would be jealous, so I didn't want anyone to know that Fu Sheng Meng is in the palace."
Li Qiu Sheng took a look at the prescription and found that there was indeed an ingredient on it called Floating Dream.
Li Qiu Sheng knew without thinking that there might be other nobles who were asking for this item, so the royal palace did not want others to know that they were fighting for it.
But you and I know this matter. He is just bringing a prescription for the palace. Those who come to ask for Fu Sheng Meng will not know about this matter. Even if they know it, they can say that they don't know the twists and turns involved.
People still only hold a grudge against the palace, and no one blames him.
But the Crown Prince's wife would be truly grateful to him. After all, having an heir is extremely important to her right now, and the Crown Prince cares very much about her.
What's more, the Crown Prince's Consort is Jingcheng's cousin, and he is willing to help with this.
"Don't worry, Princess. It's just on the way. I will deliver the prescription for you." Li Qiu Sheng said.
Ning Fu said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Li."
After Li Qiu Sheng left, Zong Si said to Ning Fu: "If you want to have children, you don't believe in those prescriptions, why don't you come to me for help?"
Ning Fu naturally understood his deep meaning. No matter how good the recipe was, it still required his "effort". He was the source. As long as he worked hard, there was no need for the recipe.
"So we still have to ask the prince for help." Ning Fu couldn't help but say, "I thought the prince would be able to ask for it."
Zong Si said slowly: "Of course I want it. I didn't say it right. I should ask Afuduo to feel sorry for me."
His expression did not change, he was serious and had his usual coldness, but there was teasing and a smile in his eyes.
"Once a man is too proactive, people will lose interest in him." Ning Fu advised, "Your Highness should not be too proactive."
Zong Si looked at her and said, "Why would you ask Li Qiu Sheng for help?"
Although she knew he had guessed it, Ning Fu still explained: "First, Li Qiusheng will help you for your sake. Second, there is nothing wrong with the prescription. The imperial physician also came to the palace some time ago. Even if something unexpected happened and someone doubted the prescription, they would not be able to find anything wrong for the time being. Third, we need his help to save Jingcheng."
Ning Fu could judge from the fact that Li Qiu Sheng was unmarried and that he remembered that Jing Cheng liked osmanthus tea that he had a deep friendship with Jing Cheng, otherwise how could he remember these details.
We need to let him know about Jingcheng's existence and further judge his attitude towards Jingcheng, so that it will be easier for him to provide assistance to Jingcheng in the future.
…
When Li Qiu Sheng arrived at the teahouse, he saw a woman carrying tea leaves from a distance. The woman was wearing a veil and sitting upright, looking like an old friend.
At that moment, my heart was beating fast.
Li Qiu Sheng walked up to the woman in two or three steps. She looked at him doubtfully, then quickly lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty.
Li Qiu Sheng.
Jingcheng hasn't thought about him for a long time, and has never mentioned him to Ningfu. People will never mention the immoral things they have done.
When Jingcheng first arrived in Yongzhou, she heard that the Li family in Liangzhou had a handsome and intelligent young man who thought highly of himself, so she wanted to meet him.
Unfortunately, Liangzhou was in chaos at that time, and Yongzhou was also unwilling to submit to her grandmother. The two met when they were kidnapped by bandits together. At that time, Jingcheng was dressed as a little boy and did not dare to reveal that she was a female monarch.
Li Qiu Sheng took good care of her. He was very smart. Later, he took her away. Gradually, she realized that he hated Kang Yang. Because he was familiar with Yu Xuanwang Mansion, he was suppressed by the Princess Mansion.
Jingcheng had no choice but to keep a low profile and dared not say that Kang Yang was her grandmother.
When the road was difficult to walk on, Li Qiu Sheng carried her on his back. When there was nothing to eat, Li Qiu Sheng found it for her. Even when it was cold at night, Li Qiu Sheng would hold her and keep her warm.
Later, the Li family found them, and Jing Cheng followed them back to the Li family, still behaving herself as a person. At that time, the Li family discovered that she was a queen and kept the matter secret, but she was so well-behaved. When Li Qiu Sheng questioned her about her life experience, she made up a lot of stories.
He told Li Qiu Sheng that he would never lie to him and kept calling him brother.
"You are a queen, and you let me hold you while sleeping." Li Qiu Sheng frowned.
"Too cold." Jing Cheng said flatteringly, "You're not like this in front of other people."
It was not until later that Kang Yang came to Li's house arrogantly and took her away. Even his thanks were condescending, but the thank-you gift was very generous.
Li Qiusheng sneered: "It turns out to be Miss Jingcheng."
After Jingcheng, she never dared to show her face in front of Li Qiu Sheng again, nor did she dare to mention him.
At this moment, seeing Li Qiu Sheng, Jing Cheng couldn't help but tuck his tail between his legs again.
Li Qiu Sheng also guessed Ning Fu's purpose. She was testing him and his attitude towards Jing Cheng.
