After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 126 Who is the Masked Man?
Anping Grand Princess Mansion

Thinking of what the emperor had euphemistically revealed to her today, Princess Anping was a little annoyed.

Madam Protector Gongchen actually wanted to suppress her through the emperor because she was the emperor's natal family.

Mrs. Chen sent someone to check her message before, and wanted to betroth Chen Yinyu to Deng Mingyu.

From the perspective of status and family background, this is indeed a very good marriage, but what happened at King Chu's wedding banquet made Princess Anping not have a good impression of Chen Yinyu.

Afterwards, Eldest Princess Anping also observed Chen Yinyu at various banquets, and she was even more sure that she was a person who was not right-minded but not clever enough.

Princess Anping was born in the royal family, and she is used to all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. She doesn't have to find a pure and virtuous daughter-in-law, and it's okay if her mind is a little crooked.

But the problem is:

Chen Yinyu doesn't have a strong view of the overall situation, and her thoughts are in the wrong direction, and she is not too smart, so she can't compete with powerful people.

In this case, the problem will be big.

Princess Anping doesn't want to marry a troublesome and troublesome person as her daughter-in-law. She would rather marry Su Fengjiao, who is naive, naive, and incompetent in common affairs.

But looking at the emperor's posture today, I'm afraid this marriage cannot be avoided.

Princess Anping thought carefully about how to dispel the emperor's desire to give her a marriage.

After thinking for a long time, Princess Anping found that only Ning Youbei could change the emperor's mind.It's a pity that Youbei is not in Yudu now.

In the end, Princess Anping was heartbroken: delay the matter as much as possible, if it can't be delayed, and the emperor bestows a marriage, then accept it first, and ask Youbei for help when he comes back.

In short, Chen Yinyu can't have this daughter-in-law.

淮城
Ning Youbei, who was being talked about by Princess Anping at the moment, was looking at Qu Chu bitterly.

"Ah Chu, this medicine is too bitter, can I not drink it?"

Qu Chu looked at Ning Youbei with a straight face.

Seeing that Qu Chu didn't compromise at all, Ning Youbei had no choice but to drink the medicine obediently, and then took a piece of rock sugar from the table and put it in his mouth.

Qu Chu bought this rock candy for him after he asked Qu Chu yesterday.

No wonder Qu Chu ignored him.

Ning Youbei did this.

Since returning from Pengzhou, Ning Youbei has been out of his mind, often alone in a daze.

For two nights in a row, Ning Youbei got up in the middle of the night, went to the yard outside as if sleepwalking in his middle clothes, and looked up at the dark sky.

And it took a long time to see.

It's deep winter now, Huai City is cold and damp at night, and Ning Youbei is depressed, no matter how healthy a person is, he can't stand it.

No, it's sick.

Qu Chu knew that Ning Youbei had something on his mind, and he wasn't prepared to know it before, but now seeing that he couldn't let go, he decided to ask.

"Is it the two swords I slashed at King Jing that day that made you feel bad?"

Ning Youbei was taken aback, and quickly shook his head: "Ah Chu, my illness has nothing to do with you."

Not because of myself!
Since it wasn't because of his handling method that made Ning Youbei feel bad, it was something else.

But Ning Youbei only had something on his mind after that day, could it be related to King Jing?

"Then you are worried about King Jing's rebellion?"

Ning Youbei shook his head again.

"No, King Jing's rebellion will happen sooner or later, but with you here, Ah Chu, I'm not worried. It's just that I'm afraid the people will suffer."

It's not because of King Jing!

Qu Chu thought for a moment, why else?

Qu Chu carefully recalled the scene of that day again, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

"Do you know who is the masked man who blocked King Jing's knife?"

Ning Youbei didn't expect Qu Chu to guess it. He was wondering whether to admit it or deny it.

But who is Qu Chu? After Ning Youbei hesitated for a moment, she knew that she had guessed right.

The masked man was so tightly packaged that people who were not particularly familiar with it couldn't tell who it was.

Moreover, it must be someone he cares about who can make Ning Youbei sigh and feel depressed like this.

Who is that?

Qu Chu thought about the few good friends of Ning Youbei she knew in her mind, and first ruled out Deng Tianzhen.

Deng Tianzhen is a little shorter than the masked man, and also a little thinner.Furthermore, it is impossible for the only son of Princess Anping to be a guard for King Jing.

Then there is Su Ziyi.

Qu Chu thought about it for a while, but his figure was very similar, but he was on duty in the Imperial Forest Army, so it might be inconvenient for him to follow King Jing around.

However, if it is true or not, just write to him and ask him if he has been in Yudu during this period of time.

Besides, it was that Ye Yu'an.

His whereabouts are uncertain, and he is unwilling to serve in the court. It would not be surprising if he was working for King Jing.

Qu Chu thought about Ye Yu'an's appearance, and found that his memory was not too deep.

Although it is said that I have only met Ye Yu'an a few times, but it is not so vague, right?What's more, my eyes have always been more poisonous than others.

At this moment, Qu Chu became more suspicious of Ye Yu'an, because Ye Yu'an was deliberately downplaying the impression others had on him.

Qu Chu looked at Ning Youbei and decided to cheat him.

Qu Chu deliberately said in an affirmative tone, "That masked man is Ye Yu'an."

When saying the three words Ye Yu'an, Qu Chu deliberately put emphasis on it, slowed down his tone, and kept staring at Ning Youbei, not letting go of the slightest change in him.

Ning Youbei froze for a moment.

Although it was only for a moment, Qu Chu, who was staring at him deliberately, did not miss it.

It really was Ye Yu'an!
Seeing him blocking the knife for King Jing, he is very loyal to King Jing.

Knowing the knot in Ning Youbei's heart, Qu Chu tried to comfort him.

"Didn't you say that Grand Tutor Ye is a staunch supporter of King Jing? Presumably Ye Yu'an also obeyed Grand Tutor Ye's request to help King Jing."

Ning Youbei thought for a while:
"Yu'an is not such a person. He will never submit to King Jing just because he listens to Taifu Ye. He will only do things for King Jing if he wants to."

Ning Youbei looked at Qu Chu listlessly:

"Achu, before Duke Huai helped others to deceive me and the emperor, I'm not so sad. After all, the relationship between me and Duke Huai is not very good. But Yu'an is different..."

Speaking of this, Ning Youbei did not continue.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's just that he feels sad when he says it.

Qu Chu somewhat understood this feeling.

The relationship between Ning Youbei and Ye Yu'an is like the relationship between her and Bingyu. If Bingyu betrays her, she will feel very sad.

But Qu Chu didn't know how to comfort Ning Youbei, so she had to do it in her own way.

Qu Chu went to the bed and spread the quilt, and said to Ning Youbei: "You just drank the medicine, go to bed and sleep. When you wake up, nothing will happen."

Ning Youbei walked to the bed listlessly, sat down on the bed and took off his shoes on the bed.

"Ah Chu, lie down with me for a while!"

Qu Chu thought for a while, walked to the bed and sat down, and tucked the quilt for Ning Youbei.

"I'll sit here with you, don't think about anything, just sleep peacefully!"

Ning Youbei closed his eyes.
