Chapter 288: Confide
Ji Ning was still eating dinner, He An came in from outside and said, "Young master, there is a son at the door who said that he wants to look for you, it seems that there is something urgent." ”
"What childe? Got a prayer post? Ji Ning was worried that it was those who disagreed with him and came to provoke him, so he asked more.
"I don't know, it's just one person, it seems to be very weak and doesn't seem to be in the future, do you want to invite this son in?" He An asked.
"No need, I'll just go out and meet them, if it's an inconsequential person, don't let them enter the mansion." Ji Ning put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, and when he got to the door, he saw a white-faced boy in the corner of the wall with his hands in front of him, his back against the corner, and he was shooting a white-faced boy who was trembling and sobbing.
"Huh? It's you? Ji Ning didn't expect Zhao Yuanxuan to come to the door in person, he didn't react for a while, and turned back to He Andao, "Uncle An, I'll leave it to me here, you go to the courtyard first, don't come and disturb!" ”
"Yes, young master." He An retired directly.
When the people left, Ji Ning invited Zhao Yuanxuan into the courtyard gate, and before he could take two steps, Zhao Yuanxuan suddenly cried out, and the people came directly, hugged Ji Ning, and hid in Ji Ning's arms and cried.
This cry made Ji Ning at a loss, he used to know that this white-faced young man was a young lady, and now he knew that she was the county lord of the golden branches and jade leaves, and he stayed away, Zhao Yuanxuan showed a certain good impression of him, and even expressed his love, but he was "ruthlessly" refused, and now Zhao Yuanxuan actually came to the door in person to hug him and cry, even if he had thousands of books in his chest, he didn't know how to face it.
"County Lord, what's going on?" Ji Ning wanted to push it away, but found that Zhao Yuanxuan was holding it very tightly and couldn't break free at all, Zhao Yuanxuan just cried and didn't explain, as if he was full of grievances and wanted to find someone to vent.
Although it was in his own house, it was always bad if he was seen by Yu Ling and others, Ji Ning had no choice but to let Zhao Yuanxuan hold him, and the two slowly walked to the study, and when they arrived in the study, Ji Ning helped Zhao Yuanxuan to sit down, but Zhao Yuanxuan refused to stop even if he sat down, and directly hugged Ji Ning's waist and leaned his head in front of Ji Ning.
This posture will make Ji Ning a little embarrassed.
"County Lord, what's the matter, say it and I'll help you think of an idea. Is someone bullying you? Ji Ning asked.
"It's my father...... Woowoo...... I overheard him say...... I want to kill Sister Rong...... Whining...... My father turned out to be this kind of person, and I don't want to go back to the palace in the future! Zhao Yuanxuan cried very sadly, the little girl grew up in doting, with the care of her parents and brothers, she didn't understand the suffering of the world at all, let alone the things of intrigue, her good and evil rights and wrongs were very clear, there was no gray area in the middle, she also dared to love and hate, and she wouldn't think about anything else if she liked someone.
Ji Ning's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Sister Rong that the county lord said, but Princess Wenren?" ”
"Hmm." Zhao Yuanxuan raised his head, pouted, and nodded.
This look is somewhat similar to when Yu Ling came over to be coquettish in a small coat before, Ji Ning looked at it, and unconsciously felt that Zhao Yuanxuan was somewhat similar to Yu Ling, and Zhao Yuanxuan's mind was even simpler than Yu Ling, because with Zhao Yuanxuan's net worth status, there was no need to think about the future at all, and Yu Ling had some gains and losses for the future.
Ji Ning said: "The county lord will be detailed, and I may be able to provide advice." ”
Saying that, Ji Ning sat down on the chair next to Zhao Yuanxuan, Zhao Yuanxuan still refused to let go, grabbed Ji Ning's arm, and leaned his head on Ji Ning's shoulder, as if leaning on Ji Ning like this would give her a strong sense of security in her heart.
"Specific...... I don't know very well. Zhao Yuanxuan's mood improved, no longer crying, but his expression was very sad, "At that time, I just overheard, as if to say that the people of the fifth prince wanted to kill Sister Rong, and my father not only did not object, but also said that he would help ......."
"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded.
"Aren't you surprised? My father wants to kill the princess, what a crime this is, Sister Rong is such a good person, why should you kill Sister Rong? Zhao Yuanxuan saw that Ji Ning didn't seem to care too much, so he couldn't help but ask urgently.
Ji Ning said: "County Lord, in the power field, many things do not need a clear reason, and any stumbling block can be removed!" Including princesses, but also Chongwang! ”
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yuanxuan raised his head angrily, because she couldn't accept what Ji Ning said, "My father and the emperor are brothers, you mean...... Is my father ambitious? ”
Ji Ning sighed: "It doesn't have to be ambitious, it may also be for self-preservation, just like Princess Wenren came to Jiangnan to investigate the fraud case, which really hurt the interests of the crown prince and the fifth prince, someone wants to secretly murder the princess, this is also for some kind of political interests, or King Chong is just making a false accusation in it, not really wanting to kill, or even he deliberately wants the county lord to hear about it, so that you can find a way to resolve it!" ”
"Huh? You mean...... My father was taken advantage of? "Zhao Yuanxuan was also wise and intelligent before, but when it comes to these complex power struggles, she is like a little idiot who has no opinions, and Ji Ning is what she says.
"I don't know the specifics, is the county lord going to remind Princess Wenren?" Ji Ning asked.
"I ...... I don't want to tell Sister Rong, if she knows that my father wants to kill her, she will definitely tell the emperor, then my father will suffer, I can't harm my father. But...... I can't watch Sister Rong have an accident, Sister Rong used to be very good to me, and I happened to see her on the road a few days ago, and she also shushed me and asked for ......warmth," Zhao Yuanxuan said.
Ji Ning frowned and said, "The county lord has seen Princess Wenren?" When, be specific. ”
Zhao Yuanxuan said that he went to Sanwei Academy that day and met Zhao Yuanrong on the way back, his little face was still a little ruddy, obviously because Ji Ning knew that she had gone to Sanwei Academy and felt shy, she raised her head and wanted to peek at whether Ji Ning was blaming, but seeing what Ji Ning was thinking, that serious look made Zhao Yuanxuan feel intoxicated when she saw it. Zhao Yuanxuan thought to himself: "Why is he so good-looking?" I really want to treat him like this for the rest of my life! ”
"County Lord, I see that your encounter with the princess was not a coincidence, but the princess's intention to meet you and find out the situation of the Chongwang Mansion from your mouth!" Ji Ning said truthfully.
"Huh? You...... How do you say that? Sister Rong is so good to me...... How could she take advantage of me? Zhao Yuanxuan's little head shook, refusing to believe it.
Ji Ning said: "Has the county lord ever imagined that the princess returned to Jinling City to handle the imperial examination fraud case, what reason does she have to be in a place more than a dozen streets away from the Gongyuan, and she just happened to meet the county lord?" Even if you have a fate with Princess Wenren, it won't be such a coincidence, right? ”
"No, Sister Rong will never do this, woo...... Ji Ning, you are really a bad person, why do you think everyone else is bad? Zhao Yuanxuan's small nose and eyes wrinkled together at this time, and he questioned Ji Ning as if he was coquettish.
