Chapter 34 Secrets

Shen Yan did not push her away, or rather, he simply did not bother to push her away.

As long as he wanted, he could just move his fingers and take her aside.

The reason he did not do this was entirely because she was a weak girl.

The weak girl was stunned for a moment, and then reacted angrily.

"I can't help it?"

"What can I do about you that I can't help?"

"Then what are you doing now?"

He lowered his eyes and looked at her hand that was holding him against the wall.

"First, you took the initiative to grab my hand and pushed me against the wall, and you didn't give me a chance to dodge."

"Then you tried to hook my waist.

"I think the next step is that Miss Ning will do something bad to me."

"Isn't that what is written in the storybook? "

Ning Yuan:?"

"I...it's true what's written in the storybook, but, but why did I do this to you?"

"You have to ask yourself, maybe you weren't satisfied that day, and you want to continue the past relationship today." He pondered.

Ning Yuan couldn't understand.

How could this man be so shameless!

He flirted with her first, and she tried to stop him, so why did he put the blame on her?

Her face turned red and she said, "When did I say I wasn't satisfied?"

"No? Miss Ning, your legs were weak that day. If I hadn't been kind enough to support you, you wouldn't have been able to stand steadily."

"How dare you say that to me? Has Lord Shen forgotten how shy and helpless he was when he ran away?"

"I'm shy and helpless? "

Shen Yan was so angry that he almost laughed.

Wasn't it just a kiss with her?

What was there for him to be shy about?

"Yes, it's you!" She first took advantage of the situation and then said in a sinister tone, "Oh~ Lord Shen, you are speculating like this, could it be that you are still not satisfied last time, so you are looking forward to me doing the same thing to you now?"

Shen Yan snorted coldly and turned his head away: "How is it possible?"

He leaned against the wall, and was about to end this meaningless argument with her, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from far away outside.

Accompanied by a clear and decisive voice of restraint: "General Pei, the young master is meeting with guests, so it is inconvenient for him to see you for the time being."

"It's okay, he never avoids me when talking about official business. Since it's a meeting with guests, it's not an important matter. I'll just drink tea and wait on the side. "

Ning Yuan panicked.

What should she do?

General Pei is here.

He knew about her taking Chinese medicine that day, and he also knew that Shen Yan took her away.

If there was anyone else in the world who knew about the Princess Xiaochang's family banquet besides the two of them, it could only be Pei Zixing.

He saw the two of them meeting in broad daylight, and he might think of something bad.

For the sake of the obedient and weak image she had managed to maintain for many years, she decided to find a place Hide.

Ning Yuan immediately jumped off Shen Yan and looked around, but found that his style was always simple, and there were no tables, shawls or curtains for people to hide.

Only the outside of the desk was sealed with a baffle, which was her only hiding place.

Seeing the footsteps approaching the door, Ning Yuan immediately squatted down. As

soon as she put her legs in, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Seeing that Shen Yan was the only one in the room, Pei Zixing looked at Ming Jue in confusion: "Didn't he say he was meeting a guest? Where is the guest?"

Ming Jue was also a little confused.

Where is Miss Ning, who is so old?

He turned his head and looked at Shen Yan: "Yes, yes... Sir, where is the guest? "

Shen Yan glanced at the girl crouching under the desk inconspicuously, and sat back in front of the desk.

"There are no guests at all, you remembered it wrong."

Shen Yan's long legs were just a few inches away from her. If she moved a little, she would touch his robe.

Ning Yuan pressed tightly against the wall of the table, wanting to cry but unable to.

Why did it have to be General Pei?

Shen Yan stretched his legs a little further under the table, looking lazy, and raised his chin at Pei Zixing. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. "Sit down."

"I was delayed by some trivial matters on my way here, and kept Zhiyu waiting for a long time. "

Pei Zixing sat aside and quickly got to the point: "After all, it is a palace secret, and it has been almost twenty years. My father may not remember many details clearly. I will tell you what he said, and you listen to it. You can judge for yourself whether it is true or false."

Palace secrets?

No one who likes to read miscellaneous books can withstand the weight of these four words.

This is often more outrageous than a storybook!

It is also a secret that dynasties do not want to be known to the public!

Most of the secrets are very embarrassing.

No one would not be curious about other people's embarrassing scandals, not to mention that the embarrassing ones are the high and mighty royal family.

Ning Yuan sat under the table and shook off some spirits.

"The eldest princess's original wife was your uncle. Since he died in the line of duty, the empress dowager has always wanted her to remarry, but she refused to obey. "

Pei Zixing lowered his voice and said, "Then do you know why she was willing to marry Zhao? At that time, the son-in-law's father was only a third-rank official, and he himself did not even hold an official position."

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment: "Because of the love potion?"

"Yes, and this seems to be the Queen Mother's intention."

Ning Yuan thought silently, even a tiger does not eat its own cubs. How much did the Queen Mother not value this daughter that she would give her own daughter a love potion in order to marry into the Zhao family and ruin her daughter's reputation?

No wonder the eldest princess would use the same method to find a daughter-in-law for her playboy son.

"I heard from my father that she married into the Zhao family while pregnant, and gave birth prematurely eight months after marriage."

"It's a pity that the child was not saved."

"The princess was heartbroken for a long time, but fortunately her husband had a good attitude and stayed with her all the time. Within a year, they had another child, the dandy, Zhao Zhihuan."

Shen Yan lowered his eyes, glanced at Ning Yuan who was curled up in a ball, and said leisurely, "It really looks like a tragic drama of a heroine forced to remarry."

"Isn't it?" Pei Zixing said, "It's a pity that the victim in the past has now grown a hand to harm others. She would take such a big risk and do such a thing to Miss Ning."

Ning Yuan thought to herself, in fact, there is no risk at all.

No one would care whether she was wronged or not, but some people would be happy to see her marry that dandy.

Even if she and Shen Yan broke off their engagement because of this, she could only marry Zhao Zhihuan. For her father, he was a royal family with a hereditary title, and it was a marriage between two well-matched families, not a humiliation.

Ning Yuan silently guessed the conversation between the two, and it seemed that something was being unravelled and slowly revealed in front of her.

If the eldest princess had the decisiveness when she drugged her, she would have refused to remarry at that time. Why would she not be on guard against the queen mother?

It was clearly a contradictory behavior. Was

she really so passive?

If the Zhao family was really as trustworthy as the queen mother thought, how could they have raised a dandy boy like Zhao Zhihuan?

If the premature child was really the son-in-law's flesh and blood, why wouldn't he be very sad?

Either it's not his child, or the child is not dead.

Wait...

these two "eithers" may coexist.

She couldn't help but think of the two portraits that Shen Yan showed her.

The woman and Zhao Zhihuan had a faint resemblance in their eyebrows.

The answer is almost obvious.

Time goes back to the day when Shen Yan's uncle died in the line of duty, as General Pei said.

At that time, the eldest princess already had a posthumous child, but she didn't know it. The queen mother

didn't want to see her daughter alone for the rest of her life, so she wanted to find another good husband for her, but she was afraid that the rich family would mind her past marriage, so she chose Zhao, who was not from a noble family but was honest.

The princess was unwilling and never obeyed until one day, she found out that she was pregnant. In order to give her child a complete family, she decided to pretend to be the queen mother and drink the love wine with Zhao.

After the spring breeze, she switched the subject and claimed that she was pregnant with Zhao's child.

The noble family was particularly concerned about etiquette. If she followed the three books and six etiquette, it would take at least half a year, and she could not wait any longer.

This was the fastest way for her to marry into the Zhao family and give her the surname Zhao to her child.

It was the same reason why she drugged herself.

She could not wait any longer.

Maybe the prince consort accidentally knew that the child in her belly was not his own, so he made a move on the day of her delivery and switched the children. The princess's real flesh and blood was sent to the brothel by him and he gave her a child who had already died.

From then on, the princess lived a down-to-earth life with him.

By chance, Zhao Zhihuan, a playboy, accidentally made his half-sister pregnant.

This kind of thing happened before, and it was always the eldest princess who took care of those women for him.

Until the eldest princess found out all this by following the clues like herself, she wanted to take her long-lost daughter back home under the pretext of taking a concubine for her son. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you. In this way, mother and daughter can be reunited.

What a selfish person.

Ning Yuan was sweating coldly.

For her own sake, the eldest princess could plot against the queen mother, the prince consort, her son, and her...

Even before achieving her goal, she would rather ignore human ethics and take her daughter back.

Of course, for the sake of getting the eldest princess, the prince consort who temporarily swallowed his anger and sent his rival's pregnant daughter to a brothel was not a good person.

But have they ever thought about what the girl in the courtyard would do if she knew all this...

Shen Yan listened to her thoughts and felt relieved that the spring onion he had cultivated had finally sprouted.

But when he thought about it, in order to prevent Zixing from finding out that she was with him, she would rather be alone under the desk, and he was a little unhappy for a moment.

He stretched his legs under the desk again without making a sound.

The already narrow space became even narrower. In order not to touch him, she almost merged with the desk.

Pei Zixing asked, "Speaking of which, what do you plan to do about what happened to Miss Ning last time?"

"Put it aside?"

Shen Yan smiled softly, "Do you think I'm such a magnanimous person?"

Ning Yuan looked at the long legs in front of her and thought: Not at all.

She suddenly had a strange idea, whether the legs hidden under the pants would be as strong and powerful as the hands, with just the right muscles and bones.

As she thought about it, she stretched out her finger and poked it lightly.

The leg quickly dodged to the side as if it was burned by fire.

Pei Zixing asked again: "No, this is Miss Ning's business after all, what does it have to do with you?"

Shen Yan paused: "She is also my face."

"Oh..." Pei Zixing thought for a moment and teased, "Then you once said that you would not marry her, can it be understood as you are shameless?"

He said lightly: "You can still give up your face."

His fingertips lightly tapped the files on the desk.

"But I have to have her."

Ning Yuan under the table was almost shocked by Shen Yan's words.

...What did he he he he say?

He wants her?

Why is he so lewd!

She raised her head suddenly and immediately bumped into the top of the table.

There was a "bang".

Shen Yan's face was dark.

He said that he wanted her only to marry her, and he didn't mean that.

Why does she only think about this every day?

Pei Zixing was surprised: "What's going on?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips and said, "Nothing, I lifted my leg and knocked it on the table."

Pei Zixing understood, "Don't get so excited when you mention her."

The alert habit of the commander of the imperial guards made his eyes never leave the desk. His eagle-like sharp eyes searched secretly and caught a glimpse of a piece of brightly colored satin faintly showing through the gap at the bottom of the desk.

That was not Shen Yan's.

In order not to alarm the enemy, he walked over carefully, still not forgetting to greet Shen Yan: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Miss Ning for a long time."

"What did you see her do?"

Shen Yan frowned and raised his eyes. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Pei Zixing slap his palm down and hit his desk.

"You bold little thief, you dare to eavesdrop here!"

With a "bang", the wood above Ning Yuan's head exploded. She quickly covered her head and let the broken wood fall on her.

When the dust settled, Pei Zixing could see clearly that there was a girl in pink sitting in the ruins piled with sawdust and files.

Shen Yan did not speak, and the room was extremely quiet.

Ming Jue heard the movement and hurriedly pushed the door open. The scene in front of him shocked him greatly.

He looked at the girl lying on the ground, then at the young man with a bad face, and then at Pei Zixing with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Ning, Miss Ning..."

Why is she here?

Are they fighting for Ning Yuan?
