Xiahou Qing coldly said, "It's good that you know. In the future, when you go out with me, remember your identity as a bodyguard. When you shouldn't interrupt, firmly shut your mouth. Lower your head and listen closely behind me. If there's a next time, think of a way yourself. I won't interfere. "
Ning Shu muttered in her heart: Wasn't I trying to help you out and let you get rid of that pervert's entanglement? I only did something bad with good intentions. Is there a need to scold me so seriously? But she tactfully admitted defeat. She lowered her head and mumbled, "Yes, this subordinate will remember."
Listening to her obviously perfunctory answer, Xiahou Qing's chest that cluster of nameless fire rushed up again. He also knew that the disturbance just now wasn't Ning Shu's fault. He shouldn't blame her, but the unhappiness in his heart still couldn't disperse.
This unhappiness continued until they boarded the carriage. He noticed that Ning Shu didn't say a word and almost squeezed herself into the corner of the carriage. He frowned: "Why are you sitting so far away? Aren't you afraid that the carriage will hit your head while adjusting the speed? "
It's okay to hit your head, but it's bad luck to touch your head. Ning Shu gave a hollow laugh: "It's okay, this subordinate will pay attention. Shizi Ye, please sit more spacious."
Xiahou Qing realized that he couldn't control his emotions and let her perceive and misunderstand. He gently took a breath in the breeze that blew in through the window and softly said: "The matter just now wasn't your fault. It was also my negligence. In the future, when the Southern Yan envoys come to visit, they will all say that I'm not feeling well and can't see them. As for your hands, there are many gloves in the ink room. You can just take a pair and wear them. "
The air pressure in the carriage finally returned to normal. Ning Shu carefully observed his expression and finally relaxed. She sat opposite him and poured two cups of tea. One for herself and the other for him. It could be considered a reconciliation.
Xiahou Qing took the teacup she handed over and took a sip. He suddenly laughed: What was the inexplicable sulk just now? It was somewhat like a woman in the marketplace who saw her husband being entangled by other women and made trouble for no reason. He, Xiahou Qing, had actually fallen to such a state. It was simply ridiculous. What was even more ridiculous was that the person who made him drink this bucket of vinegar, she didn't know anything.
Putting down the porcelain cup in his hand, Xiahou Qing slowly rubbed the palm bone that had accompanied him for many years and said, "Where did you go just now? Are we going to look for Xiao Zhangping? "
Ning Shu's heart was torn again when he saw through her little trick. "This subordinate acted on her own initiative. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Xia Hou Qing sneered from the bottom of his throat. "Am I such an unreasonable person in your mind? Tell me, what did you find out? "
Ning Shu shook her head regretfully. "Just now, as the heir's personal bodyguard, I asked Princess Changping if she had heard of the Plum Blossom Kiss from Old Princess Yu. It's a pity that she hasn't remembered anything yet. However, I still feel that the crux of this matter lies firmly with Princess Changping. "
"The reason."
She dipped the cup in water and slowly organized her thoughts. "Previously, I guessed that the person who left the note might be the one who poisoned the heir all this time. However, after a few nights of deep thought, I rejected this idea. The reason is that the two of them have different goals. The person who poisoned you all this time has a very simple goal — to torture you until the day of your death. But Old Princess Consort Yu was different. Since she wanted to marry Princess Quan Quan Ping and have her become your shizi consort, then she definitely didn't want to see her most beloved granddaughter become a widow at a young age. Therefore, she secretly revealed this secret, hoping that shizi would be cured of the poison after marrying the princess and would grow old with the princess. One wants you to die, the other wants you to live. Old Princess Yu isn't a fool. How could she let the other party discover her goal?
Let's return to the Plum Blossom Kiss.
Twenty-five years ago, the previous emperor was poisoned to death by the Plum Blossom Kiss, which directly led to the change of the throne. Old Princess Yu was someone who personally experienced it and naturally knew that this secret was no small matter. The person who left the note might be someone she trusted, but how could she guarantee that this person wouldn't betray her? Moreover, her only blood relative in this world is Princess Changping. Other than Changping, I can't think of anyone else she can be more assured of.
In the end, the contents of the note were: If you want to solve the mystery of the Plum Blossom Kiss, marry Changping first. Then you will find the answer. The meaning of the words' find the answer 'is really thought-provoking. You don't need to ask too many questions to get the answer. This is what it means to find the answer. Thus, I'm guessing that she might have hidden the secret in one of Princess Changping's personal belongings, or … "
Ning Shu raised her head and secretly glanced at Xiahou Qing, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. "In that case, after marrying you, it will naturally appear in front of you."
