Chapter 131 is Redemption
"When I was in the north, I heard that Meng Ze was planning to marry you." Zong Si suddenly said.
Ning Fu was stunned when she heard him call Meng Ze so bluntly, but she did not deny it.
"It's not an accident that something happened to the Yin family he had arranged with before." Zong Si said.
"I know, that's why I came to Huaishuo to avoid him and saved the prince." Ning Fu whispered.
"In your previous life, you came to Huaishuo, was it also for Meng Ze?" Zong Si asked.
Ning Fu said, "In my previous life, my father was demoted, and there was a rift between my mother and my father, so my mother brought me to Huaishuo. I didn't know that I was saving the prince."
This is said in order not to appear too intimate.
Right now, Ning Fu's feelings towards Zong Si are somewhat complicated. She is somewhat grateful that he married her in the previous life to help her get rid of Meng Ze, but the sadness after marriage is real and cannot be erased.
"In this life, you knew it, but still risked your life to save me." Zong Si said.
"I didn't know at first that the person I saved was the prince."
"You turned back because you knew who I was." Zong Si said, "I guess the purse is in your hands now."
The purse is now in tatters, and I guess he used to play with it often.
Nymph was silent.
"Originally, I should have arrived in Huaishuo earlier. My purse was lost on the way, and I searched for it for a long time." Zong Si knew that he should not have delayed because of a purse. Although he guessed that he would not die based on his previous life, he could not guarantee that nothing would happen to him. When a person is in danger, he is reluctant to give up the only thought in his heart.
No wonder he appeared half a month later than in his previous life.
But Nymph's mood became more complicated.
"Meng Ze may not give up his feelings for you. Now that you come to Huaishuo, you can avoid him for the time being. What are your plans for the future?" Zong Si asked in a deep voice, covering his wound.
"Originally, I was thinking of making plans after the prince returned to the capital." In fact, this was because when Emperor Jingwen became seriously ill, he would definitely help Meng Ze deal with Meng Che's opponent first. By then, his father would have no choice but to stand with Meng Yuan wholeheartedly.
Besides, Meng Yuan certainly didn't want to see Meng Ze marry him, so he was naturally willing to help her in this matter.
Ning Fu did not believe Meng Yuan, but for him, marrying Meng Che would do more harm than good.
Zong Si counted the days in his mind, then curled his lips and said, "I think in your last life, the way you dealt with him was to marry me."
Ning Fu remained silent. In fact, he married her when the Duke's Mansion was no longer profitable for him. She was happy at that time and always thought that he liked her a little bit, so he married her without considering the benefits.
As for the favor, it only showed that he was grateful and repaying the favor.
Zong Si's mood improved a little. He hadn't felt so comfortable for a long time.
But he also knew that he couldn't get any further in front of her, so he only said this.
"You don't have to worry about Meng Ze as long as I'm here." Zong Si said.
Although Ningfu had made plans, it was good to have some protection, so she said "hmm".
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Nymph put out the fire.
"I think Sun Zheng was deliberately placed by the emperor next to you. Now he is dead. If there is no trace of him for a while, the emperor will send someone to come." Ning Fu said again.
But Ning Fu was a little puzzled as to why the grandson of the Minister of Justice was sent to do this. The son of such an important official should be the one to be trained as a priority, and there was no shortage of such talented people in the court.
Emperor Jingwen must have had an intention to offend such an important official.
"It's not just His Majesty who will send people." Zong Si said indifferently. His elder brother Zong Ting said the same.
But in Zong Ting's heart, it might not be entirely for the sake of Prince Xuan's Palace. If he died, his fourth brother was still young, and most of the power of Prince Xuan's Palace would probably be divided into his hands.
Zong Si sneered, with hostility and sinisterness suddenly rising in his heart, but at this moment, Ning Fu moved closer to him and touched his forehead. He paused slightly, and all the negative emotions were put away.
With her around, I don't feel that much resentment anymore.
"Now the prince wants to use Sun Zheng's corpse to impersonate you, but what should we do about the missing Sun Zheng?" Ning Fu asked when she saw that he did not have a high fever due to his injuries.
"I died at the hands of the Hu people, and Sun Zheng was abducted by the Hu people and his whereabouts are unknown." Zong Si said.
Ning Fu paused for a moment, then she understood. No wonder Zong Si's sword was not his original one, but the curved hook sword commonly used by the Hu people. And the people who came to kill Zong Si were all dead, so the dead naturally could not tell that it was Zong Si who used the sword.
After staying up all night to watch over Zong Si, Ning Fu also felt a little sleepy. After finding a seat next to Zong Si, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In her dream, she saw Sun Zheng coming to claim her life. His bloody appearance startled her awake, but she felt someone hugging her and she froze.
Now I am too close to Zong Si and can smell the strong smell of blood on him.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Zong Si was not asleep yet. He was worried about what was happening, but he also wanted Ning Fu to have a good sleep. He could also feel that his whole body was burning hot and his injuries had caused him to have a high fever.
Ning Fu couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she sat up and said, "I... dreamed about Sun Zheng."
"This may become your inner demon. Do you regret it?" Zong Si asked with a sidelong glance.
Nymph shook her head and said, "No."
In the faint morning light, Zong Si couldn't help but smile again, even his eyes were full of smiles. Although he was in danger at the moment, he actually felt good. He didn't know how he could have the heart to be so cruel to her in his previous life.
Ning Fu reached out her hand and touched Zong Si's forehead. It was so hot that she couldn't help but frown. She said, "This place is not safe. The high fever caused by the injury will definitely be difficult to reduce. If the prince can try to walk, why don't you and I find a safe place now."
Zong Si pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know where is safe?"
Ning Fu said: "Where there are many people, there will be many eyes, and I can't take the prince back to the house. I know there is a cave in the forest, which is very hidden and not far from here."
In his previous life, Zong Si fell beside a tree near the cave.
Zong Si stretched out his hand to her, meaning that he wanted her to help him up. After Ning Fu helped him up, she saw him pick up a stone and smash it at Sun Zheng's face.
Ning Fu didn't react to what he was doing at first. When she reacted, Zong Si's hand had already covered her eyes and said, "His face is already bloody and mangled. Don't look at it, or you will have another nightmare."
She stood there motionless.
"Let's go." Ning Fu knew that he had dealt with it until Zong Si spoke, and then she took him into the mountains and forests.
Because he was injured, the two walked very slowly.
Nymph protected him carefully, and asked him from time to time if he could hold on.
What she didn't know was that Zong Si had been looking down at her, his eyes so gentle that they could squeeze water out of them.
How nice it would be if time could stay at this moment.
…
When we arrived at the cave, it was already much brighter. The entrance to the cave was extremely narrow, but there was a different world inside, a great hiding place.
If she had not found Zong Si here in her previous life, she would not have discovered this place in all the time she had lived in Huaishuo for more than half a year. Perhaps someone had specially prepared such a place.
Ning Fu couldn't help but look back at Zong Si. Seeing that he was not surprised, she couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you know this place?"
He nodded slightly, "Someone told me about this place in a letter."
No wonder she saved him here in her previous life. It turned out that he had intended to take refuge here, but he couldn't hold on before he could hide.
"When will the prince's people arrive?" Ning Fu asked.
"We haven't contacted them yet." Zong Si looked at her and said.
He answered whatever she asked. Apart from how cold he was in his previous life, he was much easier to talk to than he was in this life.
For some reason, he did not become the sinister person he was in his previous life.
Zong Si had a high fever for two whole days. He could still talk to her before, but when the fever came back, he fell into a coma. Ning Fu fed him only water, and he could not eat anything else. He became even thinner.
Nymph was anxious and told him again and again in his ear to hold on.
Zong Si held her dress tightly the whole time, frowning. She didn't know what kind of painful thing he was going through. Zong Si, who was usually so calm, could be so miserable.
He was mumbling something.
Nymph leaned over to listen and heard him say, "It doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter, Afu didn't abandon me." He said in a trembling voice.
It was as if someone who was about to fall into hell was saved.
