Chapter 171:
He is really afraid that under his wings, his beloved girl will be plotted one after another.
Especially this poison, if what the person behind it wants is not that they hate each other, but to directly rush for her life.
…He may have lost his love forever.
Xiao Junzhan stood by the bed, looking down at the peacefully sleeping girl. Unable to suppress the turmoil in his heart any longer, he leaned over slightly and kissed her gently on the brow.
Then he watched the little girl's beautiful brows furrow, as if something was reminding her to wake up quickly.
He raised his hand and touched the side of her neck, smiled slightly, put his arm through the back of her neck, pulled her into his arms and lay down.
Hold the baby in her arms tightly, put her forehead against hers, and pecked her cheeks and lips bit by bit, without any desire, just simply wanting to kiss her.
How could he not touch her?
He wanted to kiss her just now, but he held back because he was worried about her discomfort.
Xiao Junzhan's eyes turned red at some point, and he buried his head in the girl's neck. He wanted to kiss her, but he was afraid of leaving traces that she would wake up to, so he didn't even dare to lick her.
After calming down the fear in his heart for a long time, he raised his head and quietly lowered his eyes to look at the girl under him.
…began to untie her belt.
The moment he put his hand in, he paused, and then continued without hesitation, confirming his reputation as a thief.
He only knows that the little girl is his. She just rejects him because of a little accident. She doesn't really hate him. That's enough.
In the quiet room, the man's breathing became increasingly rapid, completely covering up the girl's light breath.
Wei Hanzhang may never know how ugly his sweetheart, who was cold, dignified and self-denying when they first met, was in a place she couldn't see.
…
A few days ago it was extremely hot and hot at night, but after the beginning of autumn, I don’t know when there was a bit of coolness.
The palace shrouded in night is solemn and solemn, and the royal majesty is more obvious than in the daytime.
The people living in the outer city are all the ministers of the court and central government who have been appointed by the prince to accompany him to the palace. They are from distinguished families.
The closer the assigned residence is to the inner city, the more valued it is by His Highness.
As the maternal home of the future Crown Princess, Duke Wei's Mansion is very close to the inner city. The surrounding neighbors are all dignitaries and even relatives of the royal family. It can be said that the most noble and powerful people in the dynasty are all nearby.
Even the majestic Imperial Guards on duty passed here very lightly and restrained their momentum, so as not to offend the nobles.
But tonight, after dinner, it had not been dark for too long, and many people had not yet fallen asleep, but they heard the scraping of heavy armor and the sound of uniform footsteps. Different from the patrols in the past, this sound was a bit urgent.
Some people with keen minds were secretly horrified.
This is... something happened?
The more courageous nobles ordered the servants to open the door a little, only to see the solemn backs of a group of prince's personal guards. They hurriedly closed the door, not daring to look any further.
Li Yue led his troops to the Duke Wei's Mansion. Not too long apart at the same time, Chen Zishu also led the imperial army to the Mansion of An Guo Gong. Unlike the Wei family who just had a princess, the Anguo Palace has never entered the center of power since the old Duke took office and left the court. Even the super-class Duke's Palace has been gradually marginalized in the capital until this day. The eldest daughter of the generation was so beautiful that she decided to enter the palace.
Chen Zishu sat astride his horse, looking at the red painted door in the night. He raised his hand slightly, and someone behind him went to knock on the door.
The message from Ninghai was that no matter whether evidence could be found or not, the Liu family would take it away. From the bottom of his heart, His Highness had no intention of saving face for the Liu family.
In this case, of course he does not need to save face for this family.
Thinking of the word "poison", Chen Zishu's hand holding the reins tightened. He had been an official for many years and was Xiao Junzhan's confidant, so he understood Xiao Junzhan's methods to some extent.
The next master of this dynasty is not a mean and ungrateful person. If he had not really touched the negative scale, he would not be so unwilling to save face for the Duke's government who had contributed to the founding of the country and was hereditary.
…Who is his reverse scale?
In other words, who was poisoned?
Chen Zishu's heart trembled when he received the oral instruction. He didn't know much about Gu poison, but he had heard of its reputation.
Uncontrollable worry, how is the person who got the poison doing now?
…………
Not many people came to the Duke An's residence. Only the Duke, his wife, the eldest son and his eldest daughter, and other children and grandchildren stayed in the capital. The old Duke was ill in bed and did not come with him this time.
At this time, the family just finished their dinner and were making tea and chatting in the courtyard. The lights were brightly lit and the musicians were playing music. It was peaceful and peaceful.
After hearing the servant's report, Li Yue led a group of the prince's personal guards to the Duke of Wei's mansion. Mrs. An Guogong smiled sarcastically at her children: "Such an army and a large number of people are being mobilized. Is this another reward for something good? The palace maids are not enough to use it?" ? Actually, the guards have been hired. The Wei family seemed to be a low-key family before, but since they got a princess, they have become more arrogant. I will wait and see how long they will get. "
For a high-class Duke's wife, these words are indeed harsh, but considering their eldest daughter... even if others listen, they can understand it to some extent.
Liu Wanning's expression remained unchanged, and she nodded slightly when her brother looked at her.
After receiving the feedback from his sister, Liu Shizi's hand holding the tea cup visibly paused. He quickly reacted and said with a smile: "What mother said is absolutely true. Our Highness is not a womanizer. At the moment, he is just not fresh yet." Just pass.”
"Don't make arrogant remarks, Your Majesty," Duke An Guo sighed softly, and ordered to his wife: "After returning to the capital, let's discuss marriage for Wan Niang. She is the eldest daughter, and the marriage has not been decided for a day. My sisters below, They all have to spend time together, the second girl is already nineteen. "
There are four rooms in Duke An Guo's mansion. The second girl of this generation is the legitimate daughter of the second room. She is already nineteen this year. Even the third and fourth girls of the fourth room are eighteen. If they were placed in an ordinary family, they would probably have children. However, there is such a eldest cousin who is the most beautiful woman in the capital and has yet to get married. When everyone mentions An Guo Gongfu, they only remember this eldest cousin who is still waiting to be given birth at the age of 20.
How many people remember the bunch of Liu family girls below, they are all very old.
A few years ago, the girls were not too old, and they were pursuing the dream of becoming a princess in the family. The family had the same goal and could work together as a team.
But in the past two years, not only has there been a lot of discussion outside, but there has also been a lot of talk in other rooms of Anguo Palace.
For a illusory vision, all the girls in the family are affected, it's really...
As the elder brother, Duke An Guo could not ignore the thoughts of his brothers and sisters-in-law.
I really can't bear it anymore. If I don't marry off my eldest daughter, all the girls in this generation will have to stay as old maids.
Happy New Year, dear children
