Chapter 150 Zong Si Returns to Beijing (2)
Nymph couldn't help but look at the lady who was speaking.
She was originally the queen of Hua'an Prefecture, so it's no wonder that she knew the situation in the north.
The mention of Zong Si naturally aroused the curiosity of many girls.
"It's been almost a year, and there's no news about the prince. You're really quick on news. Hey... is your sister also in the North?"
The one who asked this question was Zhang He.
"After a while, the prince will return to the capital, and my sister and I will return with him."
Ning Fu lowered her eyes. Now that Zong Si was going back to the capital, it meant that Emperor Jingwen had lost a move in the chess game. He should give an explanation for the assassination of Zong Si.
Emperor Jingwen's plan was to start with Sun Zheng and pin the crime on Meng Che, thus getting rid of Meng Che. After that, he could sit back and relax and make Meng Ze the crown prince. Meng Che would also admit to the crime of assassinating Zong Si because of his treason by colluding with the Hu people.
In this case, Zong Si had no choice but to pursue the matter further.
But right now, some people don’t want Meng Ze to become the crown prince.
But Zong Si didn't want to arouse suspicion, so the matter with Meng Ze must happen before he returned to Beijing.
I think there will be some action in the capital in the near future.
Ning Fu couldn't help but feel a little worried, as she was also involved in this matter.
As she expected, a few days later, someone thoroughly investigated Meng Ze's prince's mansion.
However, there was no news about what had happened.
The person in charge of the thorough investigation was Xie Ruyi's father. He was naturally very "responsible" in Meng Ze's matter.
When Lu Xingzhi saw Ning Fu, he said, "You meet with Meng Ze frequently just to leave clues about Sun Zheng in his house?"
Nymph did not deny it, but he looked unpredictable.
"I think they don't want anything to happen to the Sixth Prince, so they informed the Sixth Prince before the Chief Censor thoroughly investigated the Prince's Mansion." Ning Fu said, "All they need is evidence of his private dealings with Sun Zheng."
The person who assassinated Zong Si was sent by Emperor Jingwen. How could he not know that Meng Ze was wrongly accused? But it was not a good idea to pin the blame on Meng Che for Sun Zheng's crime, otherwise Meng Ze would most likely be implicated.
In order to protect Meng Ze, Emperor Jingwen had no choice but to give up.
In the end, Emperor Jingwen and Meng Ze would probably first suspect Meng Che, and Meng Ze would focus all his energy on Meng Che.
Meng Yuan was still not affected at all.
Prince Xuan's Palace can also temporarily relieve some of the pressure.
"What if the fourth girl is discovered?"
"Even if it's not discovered now, the Sixth Prince will become suspicious of me soon." Ning Fu said, but Meng Yuan would not sit idly by. Right now, she and he are in a relationship where they share weal and woe.
"Why get involved in this?"
"I only know that if I want my brother to be safe, I must do something." Ning Fu looked up at Lu Xingzhi, "I must find a supporter who can help me, and I must also be valuable."
She thought for a moment and said, "In my previous life, my brother died not long after I got married. My mother was devastated. Later, because of this incident, I was always in pain. What made me even more painful was that in this life, I realized that my brother's affairs were closely related to Prince Xuan's Palace."
Lu Xingzhi clenched his fists at his sides, his face expressionless.
"Because my brother likes Sister Fu, and Sister Fu is his confidant, he must be happy to see my brother's death."
Nymph said softly, "Sometimes when I think about him in my last life, he was so cruel. It's hard for me to imagine that he was actually my husband."
There was a hint of obscurity in Lu Xingzhi's eyes.
Ning Zheng’s affairs were naturally not completely unrelated to Prince Xuan’s Palace.
"Master Lu was familiar with my brother in his previous life."
"Well, we've met a few times." Lu Xingzhi said.
Nymph said nothing more.
Lu Xingzhi is Zong Si's aide and has a hostile relationship with his brother, so naturally he is not close to his brother.
Because of what happened in her previous life, she didn't trust Zong Si in this life, so she couldn't choose him as her backer. Secondly, when she chose Meng Yuan, she didn't know that the person she saved was Zong Si.
If she had known this earlier, given Zong Si's current attitude towards her, perhaps she could have been nice and begged for mercy from her.
"The fourth young lady has always refused to get close to the prince in this life, and it's all because of the matter of Master Ning," Lu Xingzhi suddenly asked.
Nymph said nothing.
If it weren't for her brother, she wouldn't be so opposed to marrying Zong Si. Maybe after losing her virginity to him at the hands of her grandmother, she wouldn't be so disgusted with him.
"It's better for this girl not to stay in the harem. I was so stupid in my last life that I didn't even guess the truth. If I had known it earlier in my last life, I would have divorced him and changed my husband. Life would have been better there." Nymph said, "It wouldn't be bad to change him to Master Lu."
Lu Xingzhi, however, did not show any joy at the compliment, but instead curled the corners of his mouth.
Unfortunately, he is not the real Mr. Lu.
"It's strange, I never noticed that there was a handsome man like you by his side." Nymph wondered.
"Of course the prince doesn't want to bring him to you."
Nymph paused and said, "Even if I saw it, I couldn't guess anything."
"It's not for official business. I think the prince thinks I'm handsome enough and is afraid that the fourth lady will take a fancy to me." Lu Xingzhi said.
Nymph smiled coquettishly, with amorous feelings in her eyes, "He has been in the North for many years, how can you not worry?"
She has been away for so long that she is less likely to do something unfaithful.
Lu Xingzhi's Adam's apple rolled. Actually, it was not that he was not worried. That was why he never kept any good-looking servants at home. Sometimes when she came back home, she looked at her second brother more. Actually, he was not very happy in his heart, but he did not react at that time. This was jealousy.
He always hoped that she would be devoted to him, but Meng Ze made him misunderstand her at that time. He thought that she liked Meng Ze and suspected that she might be a spy planted by Meng Ze beside him.
So I never believed that she would be wholeheartedly devoted.
He thought that her occasional lingering feelings were just because she admired his status and power, and later on, she had always been indifferent to him.
"However, the secret guard he left behind is quite handsome, tall, and has a great figure." Ning Fu chatted with Lu Xingzhi casually, "Sometimes I get bored and observe him, and every time he blushes."
At that time, due to moral constraints, I didn't dare to look at it too much, but now that I think about it, I might as well look at it a few more times.
Lu Xingzhi pursed his lips.
He naturally knew who the secret guard was, but he remembered that in his previous life, the secret guard always spoke well of Nymph. After Nymph's death, he seemed to be absent-minded for a while, and his expression changed slightly for a moment.
A few brief chats with Ningfu were enough to make him feel unhappy. The jealousy from his previous life was still sour enough to drink now.
"Why doesn't Mr. Lu speak?"
"For a moment, I didn't know what to say." Lu Xingzhi said lightly.
“Why”
Because some people actually say things that make people want to die.
Lu Xingzhi looked at her and said, "Fourth Miss, please don't mention these things in front of the prince in the future."
In this life, Zong Si clearly knows that he likes Ning Fu, and his jealousy will only become stronger.
He planned the matter with the Hu people in advance, obviously because he was afraid of being poached, so when he heard that I asked for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, he hurried back.
