Chapter 42 Figure
Ning Yuan choked, always feeling that he was making a sarcastic remark, and then said with a wooden face: "In terms of not laughing, who can compare with you, young master? Everyone knows that you are the famous 'not laughing man' in this capital."
"Okay, okay." Pei Zixing smiled and said, "Zhiyu, if you want to find someone, why don't you ask me? Instead, let her, a girl, work so hard."
Of course, it is to avoid you two dealing with each other.
Unfortunately, it is hard to guard against.
"If I had found you earlier, how could she have the chance to talk and laugh with you?" Shen Yan glanced at Ning Yuan lightly.
Ning Yuan: "..."
"I have so many opportunities! How does that saying go? As long as you pay attention, there are opportunities everywhere!"
She turned her face away and said to Pei Zixing: "Brother Pei, let's go find someone and ignore him."
After that, she took the lead and walked in front.
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.
She should have ignored Shen Yan and pestered Pei Zixing since the day of Chinese medicine.
He is warm and considerate, and easy to talk to, how is he like Shen Yan?
This man must have some strange disease. If he doesn't annoy her for a day, she will feel uncomfortable and unhappy.
This time is a lotus viewing banquet, and the crowd is relatively scattered, but fortunately with Pei Zixing's help, the candidate was locked quickly.
One was watching chess in the pavilion, one was feasting in the garden, and the other was admiring the lotus by the pond. Only one person was alone, saying that she was hiding from the sun on the island in the middle of the lake.
"I think it should be the girl who was alone."
Ning Yuan made the following judgment because of the experience of being framed many times in the past .
"Always like to stay alone. Although it is secluded and quiet, it is easy for others to take advantage of it, and the evil person will not be afraid of being seen."
"Not entirely." Pei Zixing leaned against the wall and said, "Didn't the princess drug you in the wine at the banquet last time? Maybe it was the woman who was feasting in the garden."
Shen Yan stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back.
"I don't think so."
"If it's not a spur-of-the-moment idea, people tend to make their plans as flawless as possible. Last time it was a birthday party, and putting drugs in the wine was the most reasonable method, because everyone wanted to celebrate her birthday."
"Don't forget, the eldest princess's title this time is to appreciate the lotus."
The three people each had their own opinions, but only Ning Yuan was a woman, so she could enter the previously designated female guest activity area without any scruples.
"You decide for yourself." Shen Yan said, "Ning Yuan, you just need to observe secretly and don't put yourself in front of others. When you find out which room Zhao Zhihuan is going to enter, come to find General Pei."
"Then he will bring people there and catch Zhao Zhihuan on the spot."
"With this excuse, we can drag out the aphrodisiac wine and the past together to help you vent your anger."
Ning Yuan nodded and turned to walk towards the female guests.
Pei Zixing looked at her back and asked Shen Yan, "Don't you already have evidence that the princess smuggled drugs? Why do you want to let her go through this?"
Shen Yan looked into the distance and said, "My business is public business, and her vengeance is personal."
"If others solve all the problems for her, she will only think that it is the enemy who is unlucky, and her happiness will disappear in a moment. Only when she gets involved herself will she understand how refreshing it is to kill the enemy."
Pei Zixing was speechless for a moment.
"Shen Zhiyu, don't let you corrupt a good girl like her."
*
Ning Yuan went straight to the island in the middle of the lake.
She still believed in her own judgment.
The more lonely a person is, the easier it is for others to target him. After all, it is obvious that it is more difficult to attack a group of people than to attack one person.
She searched the island for a long time in fear, and finally saw the official lady taking a nap behind a huge rock.
At this time, a thin layer of sweat was on her forehead, and even her lips were a little pale. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she was obviously very uncomfortable, as if she had been poisoned by some drug.
Sure enough!
She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she walked up to her and patted her gently.
"Young lady?"
The young lady behind the boulder woke up hazily, with some vigilance in her eyes: "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm a maid from the Shen Mansion. I saw the young lady lying here, so I came to ask."
She helped her up and asked: "Have you drunk the wine from the Princess's Mansion?"
"...No." She held her chest and said weakly, "I didn't eat anything, but I had a little heatstroke. I hated the crowd and came here to cool off and rest."
"Heatstroke?" Ning Yuan felt that she was definitely not suffering from heatstroke, but she just didn't realize that she was drugged. "Well, this place is not safe, I will help the young lady to rest somewhere else."
She had to take this young lady to a crowded place no matter what.
Otherwise, if no one saw that someone from the Princess's Mansion took her away, she would be slandered for actively clinging to Zhao Zhihuan. What should she do then?
"Okay... then thank you very much."
Ning Yuan bent over and put her arm around her neck. Just as he helped her walk a few steps, he suddenly heard a "thump" sound from the edge of the pond.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a scene of noise on the other side of the pond. Young girls in colorful costumes were in a mess, all looking at the girl who was struggling in the lotus pond.
"It wasn't me who pushed..."
"What should we do!"
"Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
Ning Yuan thought of Shen Yan's words at the right time, and immediately realized that the woman who fell into the water might be the one that the princess really wanted to plot against today!
That's right, unless you are a fool, how can you suffer the same loss again!
The last time she tried to drug someone, she didn't succeed. How could she dare to invite Shen Yan this time? Why would she repeat the same trick?
"Girl, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do. There is a big tree here. You can take a rest under the shade of the tree!"
She put the young lady who had suffered from heatstroke down and ran to the place where she fell into the water.
The young lady who had suffered from heatstroke looked at her from behind, with a puzzled look on her face: "Hey! Hey! You are here to tease me!"
...
The woman in the pool was still struggling, but the guards from the mansion were slow to arrive.
The closer Ning Yuan got, the more she was sure that this was the eldest princess's plan.
She had experienced the same thing before. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. Maybe Zhao Zhihuan himself would come to rescue her, or maybe the eldest princess wanted to let the girl pass out from the water, and then take her to a remote room under the pretext of changing her clothes to present her to her son.
She only needed to follow Shen Yan's instructions and know where they would take the girl. Then General Pei would bring people to catch them before Zhao Zhihuan could do anything wrong.
It must be said that Shen Yan's plan was indeed flawless and could ensure her safe escape.
But she always felt that something was wrong.
If she were the girl who fell into the water now,
she would be in a panic of life and death, and then she would have to face the risk of ruining her reputation. Even if she was rescued by General Pei at the right time, she might not be a strong woman. She might be disturbed by rumors, or she might be beaten and scolded by the mistress of the house, making her life even more difficult.
Shen Yan and his men were all gifted sons of heaven and the best among men. Naturally, they could not fully understand the situation of ordinary girls.
But she could not turn a blind eye.
Ning Yuan's eyes gradually became firm.
She squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt at her feet, wiped it on her face casually to cover her original appearance, and took a bamboo pole used to pick up garbage in the lake, pushed away the ladies and said: "Make way, make way, saving people is urgent!"
"Where did this ugly girl come from... Why is there black and white spots on her face?"
"Look at the clothes, she should be from the Shen family." This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you "I heard that Lord Shen brought a maid here today, could it be her?" "
It seems that Lord Shen is really self-disciplined. Even for the maid who serves him, he has to choose such an ugly one, so I will never have the idea of flirting with other women... Alas, it is a blessing from the previous life to be able to marry such a man."
"That's right. I just regret that I wasn't born in the Ningguo Mansion. Even Miss Ning, who is so stupid and cowardly, can get close to Lord Shen..."
The stupid and cowardly Ning Yuan squeezed in front of the crowd and quickly put the pole into the lake.
"Girl, grab it!"
The woman struggling in the lake immediately grabbed the life-saving straw in front of her.
The instinct of a dying person will make the strength far beyond the past. She pulled and caused Ning Yuan's hand on the shore to slip, and the pole slipped off.
She turned her head to the young lady next to her, who was not sure whose family it was, and said, "Why are you standing there? Help save people!"
The young lady was startled, and said "Oh" in a low voice, and hurriedly held the pole with her.
She shouted, "Miss, I didn't expect you to be so kind. Our master likes gentle girls the most! I will definitely say a few good words for you then." The
gentle lady blushed and said shyly, "No need. Saving people is the right thing to do, and I already have a lover."
Ning Yuan didn't say this to her.
She said it to those who were talking about Shen Yan just now.
One more helper is also a help, and she just talked.
Sure enough, some young ladies behind squeezed forward and held the bamboo pole together to pull up.
With the cooperation of everyone, even if the guards had not arrived yet, the young lady in the pond was still pulled to the shore by them.
She seemed to be very scared, and her whole body weight was pressed on the bamboo pole, trembling.
Seeing that the distance was right, Ning Yuan held the pole with one hand, squatted down and held out his hand to her.
"Girl, hold on to me, I'll take you ashore."
When the young lady trembled and held her hand, a force suddenly pushed her hard, and Ning Yuan's upper body immediately fell into the water.
The pole that had been pulled to the shore slid down a few inches, and the young lady holding her hand screamed again and fell back into the water, splashing water.
Ning Yuan's head was pressed under the water, and she immediately swallowed several mouthfuls of water.
Fortunately, her other hand was still holding the bamboo pole, and the back half was still in the hands of those young ladies, so it did not slip completely into the water. Fortunately,
she did not try to be a hero alone. Suddenly,
a force came from her waist, pulling her out of the pool like pulling a carrot.
She sat on the bank, coughing up water, but what caught her eye was the corner of a snow-white robe.
Shen Yan.
He actually came.
She seemed to be in conflict with water, and he was like the one who could help her out, always helping her just in time.
But he didn't seem very happy.
Yes, she had disrupted his arrangements, so it was natural for him to be unhappy.
The water in her hair dripped down, Ning Yuan wrapped her clothes, and saw that the young lady was pulled up safely, with the guards beside her and still conscious, she was slightly relieved.
"Come with me."
The man looked down at her, his tone was not gentle, and could even be described as a little cold.
She lowered her head and said "oh" softly.
Shen Yan walked in front of her and slowly led her to a quiet room.
"Take off your wet clothes."
The door was closed, Shen Yan met the wet girl's eyes, raised his hand and started to untie his coat.
Ning Yuan tiptoed to look behind him. What a big bed!
... She ruined his business, so he wanted to vent his anger on her body?
"Shen Yan, can you stop thinking about that all the time?"
The girl stared at him vigilantly. The dirt on her fair face had turned into black mud after being soaked in water, like a wolf-like little cat.
It started again.
She really didn't get tired of this kind of preemptive remarks.
Who is thinking about it?
He handed her the coat and motioned her to go behind the screen.
"Put on this first, and then wipe your hair."
"I've asked Mingjue to get new clothes for you. You haven't fully recovered yet, so don't catch a cold."
The girl lowered her eyelashes and curled up her toes in her embroidered shoes in embroidery.
...Not only did he not question her, but he cared about her so much.
She said gratefully, "Thank you."
Shen Yan looked into those pure eyes, without a trace of lustful thoughts in them.
He paused and added, "Don't think too much, I'm just afraid of hurting the baby in your belly."
She was silent for a moment, said "Oh" softly, turned and walked towards the screen.
Then, there were some rustling sounds of undressing.
This room was remote and dark, and Shen Yan had nothing to do, so he simply lit a candle with a tinder, and then heard the girl behind the screen say: "...Shen Yan, I seem to have forgotten to take your outer robe."
She knew she forgot?
What a fool.
He sneered in his heart and picked up the outer robe.
But she added: "You, you, you... please don't come around, just put it on the screen for me." Her
voice was soft and the ending was graceful, with the pitiful tone she always used when begging him. He
really laughed, who wanted to see her?
Shen Yan turned around with the candlestick and paused.
Under the flickering candlelight, a graceful figure appeared on the plain white and simple screen.
From the smooth lines of the shoulders and neck, to the exquisite waist and hips, to the slender and straight legs, it was like a painting of a lady drawn by a famous artist.
Vivid and charming, and unparalleled in her elegance.
Shen Yan stared at the shadow on the screen and saw her bend slightly to wipe her wet hair that was still dripping with water.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ning Yuan had to resort to the same tactics she used in the carriage.
"Please, Shen Yan, you're the best."
She perfunctorily answered him, but her hands didn't stop moving, and she continued to bend over and squeeze the water out of her hair.
As a result of the movement, her waist curled up, and was reflected on the screen along with her tall figure.
The peak looked like cherry blossoms. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. His eyes were dark, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
The sound of gentle footsteps echoed in the room.
He held a candle, and the closer he got, the larger her figure became, and any slight movement became clearer.
Until he put his coat on the screen, he saw her turn around.
There is only a piece of paper between her and him. If you break it, you can see the beauty.
