Zhang Ning was called to "reprimand" by Yao Ji and just came out. In addition to blaming Zhang Ning for secretly having a tryst with the Dong family and being discovered, she was mainly dissatisfied with Zhang Ning for letting the assassin Xiao Qing go. Yao Ji was very angry.

Her wish will surely send Xiao Qing and his captured accomplices to death row to await death.

During the dispute, Yao Ji thought that he was too obsessed with women and asked him if he was so sympathetic to all women or women with some beauty? The answer was of course no, he just believed that beautiful things should be destroyed and killed in a meaningless manner.

What role can Xiao Qing play? The girl is not bad. She looks weak but has the courage to go into the tiger's den for her father. Xiaohe's practice of sacrificing for others is always the good side of people; I also remember that when interrogating her, she held the

Wearing the hair flower given by Yao Ji, Zhang Ning was impressed by his cleverness. In short, he had no feelings for this strange woman, but he didn't want to hurt her.

Yao Ji's name is a reprimand, but in fact she is a compromise, a concession made in order to respect Zhang Ning's wishes and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Such indulgence is certainly not the result of doting. Zhang Ning recalled the last story about Qingwen in Dream of Red Mansions. Qingwen endured the illness and mended Jia Baoyu's bird feather cloak, which worsened her condition. Later, Mrs. Wang had Qingwen arrested on unfounded charges.

Jia Baoyu was forced to kneel down as a punishment, but Jia Baoyu had nothing to do, causing the girl to die of illness. Mrs. Wang doted on her precious son, but she did not have to obey her son's wishes. Yao Ji could also do the same, directly killing Xiao on the grounds of caring about Zhang Ning's safety.

Qing was executed, but she did not do that because Zhang Ning had the strength and the right to speak. Struggles for power and conflicts will occur even among the people closest to and most loved.

Zhang Ning dealt with Yao Ji and just came out, he met Chunmei. Chunmei whispered: "When I went to see Mrs. Yu, she hung the white silk ribbons on the rafters."

"Is she looking for trouble?" Zhang Ning asked in surprise.

Chunmei said: "It seems so, but I told her what happened here and gave her some words of comfort. Now I guess it's nothing serious. It's better to die than to live, and she won't die that easily."

Come on..." Chunmei said with a smile, "Your Majesty is really worthy of his promise to his wife, so he didn't forget to ask me to come and have a look."

Zhang Ning was speechless. He stood on the edge of the corridor of the pavilion in silence, holding on to the railing and looking down. In a daze, scenes of people looking for shortcomings appeared in his mind. It seemed that they would always stand on high ground.

He looked down and struggled hesitantly; but when he stood at a high place, he often had an inexplicable urge to jump down. Of course he didn't want to die.

Chunmei's voice behind her said again: "To be sure, I have left someone at the official shop on Chayuan Street, asking Mrs. Yu to go there and let me know if anything happens. Your Majesty, you can rest assured."

…

In the evening, as expected, Mrs. Dong sent a message to Chunmei through that contact point, arranged a place, and asked Zhang Ning to meet.

Today, there were a lot of twists and turns in order to have a tryst with Dong, and they had to meet again. However, Zhang Ning thought that Dong, a woman, might not be as able to withstand pressure as he was, and she needed someone to rely on for comfort, and it would not be a good idea to avoid her.

Thinking that there would be no more accidents, Zhang Ning asked Chunmei to arrange a carriage and quietly left the Chu Palace.

The meeting place was an inn. Zhang Ning waited on the carriage first, and Chunmei went in to confirm that the situation was okay. Then Zhang Ning went straight up from the hall calmly. There were many people coming and going in the inn, but no one was there.

Zhang Ning can be recognized, even if his name is very famous in Wuchang City. There was no television in this era, and Zhang Ning only appeared in public occasionally. The clothes he wore were completely different, and he was surrounded by sergeants and guards, and he was far away from the crowd;

It's rare to see people who recognize him on the road.

Knocking on the door of an upper room, Dong opened the door. As soon as Zhang Ning entered, she bolted the door. Zhang Ning looked around and saw that there were tables and chairs here, it should be a hall, and there was a mandarin duck screen to the north.

It was estimated that it was a house with more than one room, and it was considered a relatively expensive guest room. By looking at Mrs. Dong again, his eyes swept across her face, and he couldn't see any signs of sadness and seeking shortcomings.

Xia breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Mrs. Yu alone?"

Dong said: "Follow me."

The two walked around the screen, and as Zhang Ning expected, there was a bedroom with a bed inside. He was stunned because he saw another person sitting next to a table, none other than Luo Yaoniang.

"It's really rare to see His Royal Highness King Xiang here. I'm so flattered." Luo Yaoniang said with a smile, and there was a strange tone in her words. This lady even addressed her as "Your Highness" politely, but she sat still and didn't move.

No matter how you look at her, she doesn't seem to have the reverent and respectful etiquette of ordinary people, and I don't know where she got her confidence. She still maintains a high profile in front of Zhang Ning today.

Zhang Ning didn't care, and followed her words and greeted her: "I don't dare, I should be flattered. I think I invited Miss Luo last time, and it took me several times to meet her."

As he spoke, he looked back at Mrs. Dong and wondered, what was Mr. Dong's intention in inviting Luo Yaoniang to come over for a meeting?

If you want to explain to Luo Yaoniang, it is really superfluous. She did not catch the adulterer in bed. Although it is impossible for her to believe that there is nothing between her and Dong. After all, Zhang Ning and Dong have such a relationship in private. Except for

There is really no reason for adultery; but the explanation can only get darker and darker. There is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

Zhang Ning didn't know how to remind Mr. Dong that Luo Yaoniang was right in front of him and it was difficult to talk. He had no choice but to go and sit down opposite Luo Yaoniang. When he saw that there was wine, tea and a plate of fruits on the table, he

He picked up the teapot and poured tea. Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard Mr. Dong say nervously: "Prince Xiang, please don't drink..." Zhang Ning's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. He was indeed not wary at all just now. Mr. Dong and Mr. Luo were together.

Yaoniang, he didn’t think anyone would poison her.

Suddenly, I was startled: Could it be that Mr. Dong poisoned the tea? Who should he deal with? He didn’t want to poison Luo Yaoniang to silence her, right?

But then he thought it was impossible. He had known Ms. Dong for several years and he didn't think she was such a vicious person.

Luo Yaoniang also froze there in surprise. The room was awkward for a while. Luo Yaoniang suddenly frowned and turned to stare at Mr. Dong angrily: "Mrs. Yu, you actually put medicine in the tea?"

Dong's face turned red and she lowered her head, speechless.

Zhang Ning said hurriedly: "I'll call Chunmei right away and go find the doctor!"

"Don't!" Madam Dong raised her head and said with a blush, "You don't need to be a doctor, it's not poison... I've used this medicine before, it's not serious, it just makes people feel soft."

Zhang Ning calmed down after hearing this, and said casually: "I didn't expect that someone like Miss Luo would be drugged by Mrs. Yu. Hehe, it's true that people who drown will be drowned."

Luo Yaoniang said angrily: "I have known Mrs. Yu since Tingyi passed the Jinshi examination and came to Beijing seven or eight years ago. Who would have thought that she would use this as a means to secrete sweat medicine!"

"Tingyi... who is Miss Luo my husband? You are called so close." Mrs. Dong was not happy when she heard Luo Yaoniang's words. "Whether I take the medicine or not is my business, and I didn't invite you to tea.

Why don't you drink it while I'm opening the door?"

After hearing this, Luo Yaoniang became even more angry and cursed: "Master Yu and I are just close friends, and we interact openly and openly. But you talk about me, you are a married woman, what does it mean to secretly have an affair with a man? How?

Is he worthy of the husband you call me?"

Mrs. Dong's ears were red, she was ashamed, anxious and angry. Unfortunately, she really had no experience in making enemies with others. She was so angry that she couldn't say anything, as if she was about to cry.

Having said this, he no longer cared about getting darker and darker. Zhang Ning hurriedly denied it shamelessly: "Miss Luo has misunderstood. Mrs. Yu and I are not what you think."

"What do I think?" Luo Yaoniang said coldly. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and put it on her forehead. Her face was red and her ears were hot, but she didn't look like she was shy.

Zhang Ning felt something was wrong in his heart, and said: "As Miss Luo said, Mrs. Yu is a married woman, how can I openly communicate with her? People say it is terrible, men and women are different and it is not good to be confidants. But let's talk about it.

The four of us are close in age and like each other very well. We were good friends when we were in Beijing. If our status had not been different, we might have become a circle of friends who enjoy playing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. When the governor in Beijing invited me to his home for dinner, we met as insiders.

When I met Mrs. Yu once, I felt that she was knowledgeable and courteous. Later, I had the opportunity to meet again in Chenzhou, Huguang, and we became close friends. We just talked and chatted..."

Even he himself didn't believe what he said, and I'm afraid Luo Yaoniang didn't believe it either, but that didn't matter, as long as he didn't admit it in front of her.

Sure enough, Luo Yaoniang responded bluntly: "Only a ghost can believe you!" After she said that, she tried to get up, but her body went limp and almost fell down. Zhang Ning hurriedly walked over to help her, and seeing Zhang Xiang's chair next to him, he said: "I'll help you.

Go lie down for a while." Luo Yaoniang reluctantly refused, but still let Zhang Ning help her over.

This girl is still the same as she was a few years ago, with a round waist and a curvy figure. At this time, her body is warm, and a good smell of womanhood evaporates, which makes Zhang Ning feel shaken.

Zhang Ning turned around and asked in a deep voice: "Mrs. Yu, what kind of medicine did you administer?"

Mr. Dong looked embarrassed and said with a blush, "Don't you know about that medicine?"

Zhang Ning secretly sighed. All the denials were in vain. Giving Luo Yaoniang the evil medicine was no different from admitting adultery. He asked again: "Where did you come from?"

Mrs. Dong said: "There is a drugstore nearby. I asked the maid to buy it. I have used it before, and it is fine. I just sleep for one night... I do that kind of thing with my husband at home, because I often don't feel very dry or painful.

I thought there was something wrong, so I asked the maid to get some medicine to recuperate; when I was alone, I entertained myself, but I also didn’t feel anything, so I had to take this medicine..."
