Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 144
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.When the competition of the next three sects was completely over, the good show of Liu Yiyi framing Huo Qi had been quietly spread in the palace.

Of course, Huo Qi, the eldest lady of Ningguo Duke's Mansion, was the one that people talked about more.A person who was originally unknown and reclusive, suddenly showed his peerless demeanor and talent. He was slandered by others but was not afraid of danger. Nie Ying, whom everyone is betting on.

When the inner supervisor officially announced that Huo Qi had won the next three leaders in the competition, the children of the aristocratic family in the audience were all sighing.Many dudes who had previously looked down upon Huo Qi couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene: "It's a pity that I was lucky enough to see Miss Huo's grace in this martial arts arena, otherwise I would have to try to get acquainted with her."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone at the table couldn't help but joked about it again.

The fourth prince groaned for a while, but he did not show any surprise at the final situation today. When many things happened, people felt caught off guard, but in fact they were all expected.

Yesterday morning, he had the good fortune to meet Huo Qi's show of disarming Liu Yiyi and embarrassing Nie Ying by the way.Now that Liu Yiyi ended up being ridiculed by everyone, in fact, it had already been foreshadowed.As for Nie Ying, who was lifted up high by others, but now falls heavily, it is just because her skills are not as good as others.

Ning Guogong, on the other hand, is indeed a calm person.In the early years, the Huo family did not attract much attention. Huo Ruhai kept a low profile on the one hand, and more importantly, the big house of the Huo family did not have many heirs, and they only had one son and one daughter in total.There was no news from Huo Xian before, and Huo Qi was also living in a boudoir, so he didn't see what Huo Ruhai had planned, so he could make people feel at ease.But now, all this is different.

The sixth prince didn't think so deeply. He teased people for a while, and suddenly remembered the troublesome bet just now. He was about to argue about Shen Yuning's extra 5000 taels of gold bet. After looking around for a few times, he exclaimed loudly Said: "Where did the old seven go!"

Reminded by these words, everyone at the table noticed that Shen Yuning had long since disappeared.Then one person said carelessly: "Your Highness the Seventh Prince's intention to leave the venue early must be because he doesn't want to care about the five thousand li of gold! I think it's true, how could His Highness be so embarrassing for a mere 5000 taels of gold?" us?"

But Shen Yuning, who was known by everyone, was relaxed, and he had just stepped through the Taiyuan Gate and was heading towards Jing'an Palace.

Cheng Chang followed quickly with a long sword in his arms, but he was still confused in his heart.He has followed Shen Yuning for many years and knows that his master never likes excitement.But by the end of the show, the master had gone to the martial arts arena today, so why didn't he leave until the announcement of the results?
Before Cheng Chang could figure it out, he saw a graceful figure walking out from behind the pillar in front of the Taiyuan Gate. That person was wearing a rose-red skirt with peach blossoms and white water that dragged the floor, even in the evening light. , the gold thread on the skirt is still shining, dazzling.After the man walked two steps forward, Cheng Chang took a closer look and found that this woman was Nie Ying, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Miss Nie.

Speaking of which, Cheng Chang is a guard in the palace, and Nie Ying is a serious official lady, and there is little chance for the two to meet each other.The reason why Cheng Chang knew Nie Ying was due to no other reason. This girl Nie was usually ordered to go to the palace to pay her respects to the concubine Xian, so she often wandered around Jing'an Palace and sneaked around, allowing him to see her several times.

Once or twice is just a coincidence, but you can bump into it every time, even a perplexed person like Cheng Chang knows what Nie Ying is up to.It's just that Shen Yuning is often not in the palace, and Nie Ying always misses it. In addition, Cheng Chang doesn't like to talk about bad people's reputation, so he never reported the matter to Shen Yuning.

Taiyuanmen is the only way to go back to Jing'an Palace from the martial arts field, and it is also the way to go to Chaotianmen to leave the palace. At this time, Nie Ying was able to catch up with her master at this time, and she must have deliberately taken a small path that was unoccupied.

Nie Ying didn't know that Cheng Chang had seen her intentions. At this moment, she completely lost her previous peacock-like pride. Instead, she showed a somewhat timid posture, and said softly: "Nie Ying, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, sees Your Highness. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to disturb His Majesty's purity, but the little eunuch who was leading the way just now suddenly disappeared, and got lost and bumped into this place by mistake."

Shen Yuning's expression was indifferent and alienated, she only frowned and nodded slightly before leaving in a hurry.

Seeing this, Nie Ying was involuntarily disappointed.

She had known that Shen Yuning was not warm-tempered, but she never imagined that he would be so indifferent and cold-hearted.After all, she is the daughter of the Nie family and the niece of the Concubine Xian. Even in the palace, the other princes would always give her some respect, so how could they just ignore her?

Seeing that Shen Yuning had already walked away by two figures, Nie Ying hastily shouted to her back: "Your Highness, stay a while, my daughter has something to say."

Shen Yuning turned around, her face was still calm, and it was impossible to understand what he was thinking through that handsome skin.

Nie Ying actually couldn't see through it, but when she saw him stop, she hurriedly said with tears in her eyes: "The little eunuch who guides the way is still not sure when he will come back, and it's getting dark now, so I might miss the time to leave the palace. The courtier is not familiar with the terrain in the palace, could you please show your Highness mercy and send the courtier away. If there is an opportunity in the future, the courtier will definitely repay Your Highness."

Cheng Chang's face twitched when he heard it.It can only be said that although this girl Nie is beautiful, she is obviously not smart enough, otherwise, if she is asking for someone, she should see who she is asking for.The master is indeed not a temperament who will intentionally embarrass others in trivial matters, but he is by no means a bodhisattva with a good nature.Asking the master to lead the way for an official woman is simply a fantasy.

He was waiting for Shen Yuning to refuse, but he heard the master in front of him say calmly, "You haven't shown up yet?"

Show up?

Let who show up?

Cheng Chang was startled, and drew out the long sword in front of his chest.Nie Ying was at a loss, startled by Cheng Chang's action.It wasn't until they saw Huo Qi leading a little eunuch leading the way over from the corner door on the side of Taiyuan Gate that the other two people at the scene figured out the situation.

Cheng Chang slandered, saying that Miyagi is not big, but not small.If Miss Nie hadn't stopped the master to talk nonsense for a while, the master and Miss Huo wouldn't have run into each other so easily.

Nie Ying gritted her back teeth secretly, and she couldn't help feeling ashamed when she thought that Huo Qi might hear her words.Thinking of Huo Qi taking her limelight today, and now ruining her good deeds, I hated Huo Qi completely in my heart.

At this moment, Huo Qi didn't feel relaxed about watching a good show, but was anxious.She was led out of the palace and back to the mansion by the little eunuch who led the way, but she just happened to see Nie Ying say those words, so she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about eavesdropping on other people's private affairs.Thinking of how he was in deep danger on his own initiative before, but it was Shen Yuning who came to the rescue, and even taught him to see the most embarrassing side of himself, and even wished to find a hole to bury himself in.

36 It's the best plan to go, she was thinking about it, and she was thinking of avoiding the corner door with the little eunuch, and when the two of them left, she would just slip away again, but she didn't expect Shen Yuning to be such a sensitive rabbit Ears, actually noticed her whereabouts on the spot.

She was neither advancing nor retreating at the moment, so she had to be honest and bowed to Shen Yuning according to the rules: "My servant has seen Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After she finished speaking, she was about to run away, but she heard a faint demonic voice coming from behind her: "Who allowed you to leave? In fact, I think you are an assassin."
