Chapter 40
"Wait"

Before Nangong Tou could stop him, Ruan Qingliu grabbed Nangong Tou's wrist and walked out. Nangong Tou's strength was not as strong as Ruan Qingliu's, so he was dragged and staggered forward.

"Ruan Qing! Let me go!"

Nangong was out of breath, but he didn't dare to shout loudly for fear that his shouting would call the servants of the Princess Mansion and cause unnecessary trouble, so he could only say to Ruan Qingliu in a low voice:
"Do you know what you are doing now?!"

"I'm fulfilling your wish!"

Ruan Qingliu made an innocent expression, but she didn't stop walking while pulling Nangong Tou.

"You stop for me!"

Angrily, Nangong Tou shook Ruan Qingliu's arm vigorously, feeling her foot slipping and then falling backwards while waving her hand.

Just when he was about to fall backwards, Ruan Qingliu stretched out his hand and grabbed Nangong Tou, with such strength that Nangong Tou threw himself into Ruan Qingliu's arms.

The eyes of the two were so close that they almost kissed each other.

Looking at Ruan Qingliu in front of him, Nangongtou felt his heart beating for some reason, and his whole body was not well.

"Miss, so you are here!"

At this moment, Ruan Qingliu's maid, Xiao Ran, came over, and it was no surprise to see her young lady hugging and flirting with a man who didn't know who it was, and she walked forward without any discomfort at all:
"Miss, Wei Guogong's family has not woken up after being rescued, and now everyone has gone to see it."

"Where's the princess?"

"The princess went back to her room to rest, you know the princess doesn't want to see the Wei family"

Xiao Ran whispered, and Nangong Tou listened beside Ruan Qingliu and gradually forgot about the struggle.

"You take us to the princess right now."

Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, although she wanted to tell her miss that the princess might be resting, but she knew her temper, and she must do what she was sure of.

So he led the way with a lantern, and Ruan Qingliu and Nangong Tou followed behind.

Nangong Tou didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until the three of them started walking that Nangong Tou asked:
"You have a good relationship with your eldest sister?"

Ruan Qingliu shook his head.

Nangong Tou was also silent for a while, he knew that the eldest sister had never liked dudes, so the relationship with Ruan Qingliu was naturally not very good, maybe she would not even see her after she went this time.

At this time, Ruan Qingliu still confidently took him to the eldest sister's door to ask for an audience.
Nangong Tou didn't know what was wrong with him. If it had been in the past, he would have seriously rejected Ruan Qingliu's request and stayed as far away from her as a playboy.

It's just that Xu has been away from the capital for too long and walked as a prince, and even he himself feels that he has changed a lot.

No matter Ruan Qingliu pulled her to the door of the dormitory where the eldest sister was resting, as expected, there were two guards guarding the door. When they saw the person coming with their long sword horizontally, they stopped the person:
"The princess is resting now, no visitors!"

At this time, Ruan Qingliu let go of Nangong Tou, and after walking a few steps forward, it seemed that he had known these two guards for a long time, and said warmly:
"Two eldest sisters, I came to see the princess late at night for something important. Please tell me, I would like to thank you very much!"

"No, let's go!"

Ruan Qingliu saw that he didn't care what he said, so he turned around and took two steps.

Looking at Ruan Qingliu's failure and returning home, Nangongtou actually found it funny in his heart.

Only he and the eldest sister knew that there was a secret passage into the eldest sister's room, which was a secret base for the two of them to enter and exit.

Nangong Tou followed Ruan Qingliu just to see what this dude was capable of. Seeing that he was rejected now, he must be a loser.

He will soon follow the secret passage into the eldest sister's room. He must not be easy to get along with Ruan Qingliu.

What Nangong Tou didn't expect was that Ruan Qingliu just took two steps back and suddenly came back to his senses. Before the two guards could react, he slammed into the door with his body. Shouted loudly:

"Princess!!! Minister Ruan Qingliu is begging to see you!!! I have something important to do!!!!"

When did those two guards see someone so bold that they dared to knock on the door of the princess's room openly?

It's just that Ruan Qingliu's eyes were sharp, and when she saw two guards rushing towards her, she dodged to avoid it, and ran around in the yard while shouting loudly——

"Princess!! This subordinate really has something important to do!! Princess!!!"

Not only Nangong Tou, but even Xiao Ran was stunned. He wanted to step forward to stop his lady from going crazy, but he didn't know how to find the breakthrough point.

Finally, after Ruan Qingliu and the two guards ran around the yard a few times, the door was successfully opened.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with a serious face. Nangong Tou recognized at a glance that this person was none other than the grandma of her eldest sister Nangong Rong!
"It's not proper to make a lot of noise in the place where the princess rests at night!"

When the two guards saw the nanny coming out, they knelt down with a bang. Ruan Qingliu was left alone and ran forward for a short distance. After realizing that no one was chasing her, she stopped and gasped:

"Mommy, I have something urgent to do with the princess. Please forgive me."

That nanny looked at Ruan Qingliu, the disdain in her eyes was obviously about to overflow:

"I don't know what Miss Ruan's intention is to disturb the princess's sleep in the middle of the night? This princess mansion is not the Lane of Fireworks and Willows, where you can come and go whenever you want!"

Although the nanny's status is not as high as Ruan Qingliu's, she is obviously a good hand in running the house, and she speaks with dignity. Ruan Qingliu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced herself to say:
"I'm just in a hurry. If you don't believe me, just look at it!"

Then Ruan Qingliu pulled Nangong Tou over and stretched out his hand to tear off his veil.

The nanny was initially dismissive. When she saw Ruan Qingliu breaking into the princess's bedroom late at night and bringing a man with him, she thought that this ignorant and lustful man had taken a liking to the maid in the mansion.

But he didn't expect that what was revealed under the veil was a very familiar face.

"you you are"

The mammy's coercion just now was gone, and she looked at Nangong Tou with a trembling voice.

"Can I trouble you, Nanny Sun, to go and inform the princess."

"well!"

Hearing Nangong Tou speak, Grandma Sun became even more convinced. She stumbled into the house and came out after a while to invite Nangong Tou to enter.

Ruan Qingliu, who just wanted to be with Nangong Tou, was stopped.

"Why aren't you letting me in?"

"Princess only wants to see this one right now, so follow me to the side hall for a while."

At this time, Nanny Sun's words had become a little more steady and less arrogant, so she ordered a maid to lead Ruan Qingliu and Xiao Ran to the side hall.

He took Nangong Tou into the princess bedroom.

At this time, the princess's bedroom was already much brighter than before. Several brand-new oil lamps were lit, illuminating the bedroom with a gleaming light.

After passing through the curtains, I finally saw Nangong Rong lying on the bed with her hair disheveled.

Perhaps she was ready to rest, but Nangong Rong only wore two thin pieces of clothing and was doing so slantedly.

"Princess, people have brought it."

Grandma Sun bowed politely and withdrew with a wink.

Only Nangong Tou was left standing there.

At this time, Nangong Rong, who was reclining, walked out of bed slowly, stretched out her hand to lift the gauze curtain beside the bed, and looked up to see Nangong Tou.

Nangong Tou also saw his eldest sister at this time, she still had the same appearance, a small face the size of a palm, and her facial features were [-]% like Nangong Tou's, but because of her face, she looked more beautiful.

The most outstanding thing is Nangong Rong's temperament. Her eyes are dark but very lively. It seems that you can catch what she is thinking when you look into her eyes.

Even when he just woke up and was the laziest, he carried an aura of being unapproachable by the superior.

The two people Nangong Tou was most afraid of since he was a child - his mother and eldest sister. Although the eldest sister was strict, she treated him very well. The two of them had countless little secrets. Feelings.

"Sister."

Nangong Tou almost shed tears when he saw the familiar eldest sister. Normally, he could only call her eldest sister respectfully outside, but in private he always called her eldest sister.

"Xiao Tou, it's really you!"

Nangong Rong frowned, stepped forward a few steps to Nangong Tou, stretched out her hand and gently touched his cheek.

There was a rare expression of emotion in those black eyes.

Nangong Tou nodded, and continued:

"I entered from the one-corner alley on the west side of the mansion."

Nangong Rong understood what he meant. It was a place that only the two of them knew about, and no third person would know.

Nangong Tou looked at his sister and felt that she seemed to have become much calmer and gloomier in the past year or so, and she had also lost a lot of weight.

"Xiao Tou, what happened while you were away?"

Nangong Rong pulled her younger brother to sit in front of the table, poured two cups of tea and listened to Nangong Tou's story.

It wasn't until Nangong Tou brought Ruan Qingliu to the princess's bedroom in a swaggering manner and did many ridiculous things that Nangong Rong smiled coldly:
"This Ruan Qingliu even dares to trespass on my Nangong Rong's territory. If she hadn't brought you back today, I would have broken the legs of her daughter even if she was the old fox protecting the Minister of War!"

Although Nangong Tou also felt that Ruan Qingliu was a bit fooling around, it was precisely because of her interference that he was able to see his eldest sister smoothly.

Originally in Nangong Tou's plan, it was very difficult to easily avoid those guards and maids, and to see the elder sister unknowingly.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Qingliu accidentally collided with Wei Yu. No, now it seems that Wei Yu is looking for trouble, so she attracted everyone's attention.

Ruan Qingliu was able to meet Nangong Rong smoothly through her position as the servant of the military department.

"Eldest sister, don't be angry. After all, Ruan Qingliu also helped me."

Nangong Rong nodded, seeing that Nangong Tou had lost a lot of weight during this period of time, and his whole body had also experienced a lot of vicissitudes, and he was not at all as energetic as before the marriage.

Just now I heard that he was plotted to almost die and broke his leg on the way to escape, so he looked up and down, back and forth, Nangong Tou, especially the injured leg.

Seeing that he had recovered, Nangong Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

"I will naturally reward and punish those people you mentioned, just now"

Seeing Nangong Rong hesitate, Nangong Tou hurriedly asked:
"During the time I left, elder sister, did something happen in the court again? I heard from Zhou Ang that you were put into confinement by your mother for explaining the truth for me!"

Hearing this, Nangong Rong sneered twice, narrowed her peach eyes, and looked into the distance:
"The Queen Mother was deceived by a charlatan. Now she thinks that you are the one who will destroy the fate of the country. She sent you away before and your whereabouts are unknown. If you come back now, you will be seeking death."

Nangong Tou frowned and asked curiously:

"When did the empress recruit warlocks?"

Nangong Rong glanced at him helplessly and said:

"During that time, you and several other brothers were concentrating on the boys' school. Concubine Chen in the harem blew the emperor's advice and introduced a warlock she met while traveling in the world into the palace."

"But eldest sister, I must come forward to prove that I am still alive!"

"I know, I will find a way. During this period of time, you will live in the Princess Mansion and don't leave. I will ask Grandma Sun to arrange for you to live with me."

-

Ruan Qingliu waited in the side hall for a long time but couldn't wait for the news to be transmitted. She was sleepy at night, so sleepy that she fell asleep on the table. In a daze, she only felt that she was sitting on the examination room and was writing. As I write about the illness, I feel my arms getting number and number.
"Miss! Miss! Miss!!!"

Ruan Qingliu woke up in an instant with a call from far to near, and sat up abruptly, startling Xiao Ran.

"Miss, you scared me to death. You looked like you were dead just now, and now you are suddenly pretending to be a corpse!"

When Ruan Qingliu heard Xiaoran's words, he felt like he had a dark look on his face. Today seems to be the Yuan's Day!He said such unlucky words during a big holiday, he is dead and he is pretending to be dead!
He glanced at Xiaoran helplessly, thinking that what kind of master made what kind of slave, the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked!
"What's the matter? And hurry up and say such unlucky words!"

Xiaoran also listened to her words, and after pouting for several times, he said:

"Mama Sun came to call you and said that the princess wanted to see you."

"what--"

It was only then that Ruan Qing remembered where she was. She had just dreamed that she was returning to the college entrance examination room. She woke up and didn't have time to enter the role. Now she is Ruan Qingliu, so she has to keep her personality!
Her purpose today is none other than to take this opportunity to hug the thigh of the eldest princess, the future queen!
As a fan of romance novels, Ruan Qingliu had read this book a long time ago, but unfortunately, the writing is too bad, the setting is also weird, it is very interesting that women are superior to men, but the author is stubborn and refuses to write about male and female protagonists.

After writing the background of the story, she randomly caught a few passers-by who were in miserable situations, A, B, C, D, and wrote some short stories. She was so angry that she scolded the author for cerebral palsy.

Now that she has traveled through time, she knows the plot and has a golden finger!
What she has to do now is to hug the thigh of the future Queen Nangong Rong steadily, so that even if she is cannon fodder, she can still enjoy spicy food, and maybe she can return to the real world smoothly after death!

Adhering to a good attitude and being able to lie flat after being reported to the thigh, Ruan Qingliu tidied herself up rarely, and led Xiaoran to her bright future.

Kneeling at the feet of Nangong Rong, the person above him did not speak for a long time. Ruan Qingliu still understood the rules. She was not a big fool like the original owner. She was not afraid of anyone because her mother was the minister of the Ministry of War.

She was terrified, for fear that her poor performance would affect her future path.

"Ruan Qingliu, you broke into the princess's bedroom late at night! Do you know your crime?"

Nangong Rong took a sip of tea, and immediately began to question Ruan Qingliu Xingshi.

She quickly put on a humble and repentant attitude and said:

"The sins of my subordinates are extremely heinous, but the princess is so wise and powerful that she is unparalleled in the world! Princess, please spare my life for the sake of bringing the man here, and let me serve you loyally to the princess!"

Ruan Qingliu was able to bend and stretch, and hit her head on the ground, but she seemed to be hitting the ground violently, but in fact, she was only one centimeter above the ground to make an emergency stop.

She was joking, even if Ruan Qingliu was a dog licker, he couldn't really hurt himself!
Nangong Rong, who was sitting in the upper position, looked at Ruan Qingliu's kowtow with a cold eye, feeling that it was ridiculous that the playboy of the Ruan family had gone to the frontier and somehow it became so interesting.

Unlike before, she was like a peacock spreading her tail everywhere, showing off her poor tail to everyone she saw, with a self-righteous and annoying look.

"Oh? The daughter of the Minister of War, is willing to bow to me?"

The obvious irony in Nan Gongrong's words is obviously dissatisfaction with Ruan Qingliu before, but the current Ruan Qingliu is still the former Ruan Qingliu.

She pretended not to understand the princess's innuendo, took two steps forward on her knees, and said flatteringly:

"It is precisely because I am the daughter of the Minister of War that I should serve you, right? If you have anything to say, please speak!"

Nangong Rong glanced at Ruan Qingliu speechlessly. When dealing with the enemy, she was not afraid that she would be as angry as a mad dog, but she was afraid of someone like Ruan Qingliu who punched the cotton.

Nangong Rong didn't really want to embarrass her, he was just having fun with her words, so she waved her hand and asked Ruan Qingliu to come forward——

"In a few days, you"

-

Everything in the Princess Mansion was going on in an orderly manner. Over there, Mo Luo followed the team to search for Nangong Tou for half the night, but they still couldn't find him until the second half of the night.

Everyone had no choice but to go back to recover, and naturally faced Zhou Ang's anger.

"What are you guys doing? You can't even find a small man. Is this capital city that big?!"

Zhou Ang was incompetently furious for a while and could only say a few words about fines and salary, and dismissed everyone, leaving Wanmo Luo alone.

"I thought about it for a moment. You are also patrolling the market at night today. Where do you think Nangong Tou will go?!"

It was obvious that Zhou Ang was suspicious of Mo Luo. Mo Luo could keenly feel Zhou Ang's malice. She immediately knelt down on one knee and said:
"Master, please be aware that this subordinate has never seen him or been alone with him during this period."

"Where's her home?"

At this time, a man who looked like a guard came in from the door and said coldly:

"Report to the young master, Wan Moluo's home was also searched, but no trace of him was found."

"Never went back?"

"Never went back."

The surroundings fell into silence for a while, and Mo Luo only felt that the depressive atmosphere in the air was getting stronger and stronger, and suddenly heard Zhou Ang's sneer:
"Nangong Tou just ran away, even him"

He pointed outward and saw the guard carrying a man in and throwing him to the ground. Mo Luo turned his head slightly and saw that it was Wang Yi.

Although Wang Yi was a little embarrassed at this time, his eyes were still firm, as if he had expected that such a day would come to him and was not afraid.

"Even you, didn't take it away."

Zhou Ang knelt down and stretched out his hand to gently pat Wang Yi's cheek.

"You must know where he went."

Wang Yi shook his head and refused to say a word.

"It's true that the master and servant love each other deeply. If that's the case, it's better to be punished."

Hearing that Zhou Ang was going to punish Wang Yi, Mo Luo had been in the training ground for the past six months and knew that there were all kinds of torture instruments in the training ground, some of which could even destroy people, so he quickly spoke up to stop him:

"Master, no! This subordinate has something to say!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Ang glanced at Mo Luo curiously. Her patience was running out. Mo Luo saw that she didn't speak and said quickly:

"According to my subordinates, Nangong Tou must have found a stable place to escape. If we can't find it, we should report it as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity."

"Report?"

Disapproval flashed across Zhou Ang's eyes, he looked at Mo Luo and asked:

"How to report, if I say that I brought him back and lost him, wouldn't it be embarrassing for our Duke Zhou's mansion?!"

Seeing that Zhou Ang was about to have another attack, Mo Luo's mind spun rapidly, and he said immediately:
"I think you can blame this matter on others. Since Nangong Tou has escaped, he will definitely not be hiding in an ordinary home. Moreover, I think that Her Majesty the Queen has not sent anyone to search on a large scale since he has been missing for so long. It must be If you don’t want him to come back, if there is news about him in Kyoto City, then Her Majesty the Queen will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.”

"Master can spread some rumors and kill people with a borrowed knife."

Zhou Ang was silent, and Mo Luo peeked at her, and saw that she was contemplating at the moment, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Based on the contact between Mo Luo and Zhou Ang, it was found that although the Duke of Zhou was wealthy, Zhou Ang, who was trained by him, did not have the brains of a civil servant. The Zhou family was originally a martial arts family, but Zhou Ang wanted to pursue an official career, but compared to those in the imperial court. The old fox has become much more tender.

In addition, this person is self-willed, his eyes are high and his powers are low, and he does things according to his preferences, which is a bit tyrannical.

Mora took this gamble for his own safety and Wang Yi's safety.

At least if you can save yourself the pain of skin and flesh by just talking, why not!

Seeing Zhou Ang walking back and forth, he must have been tempted by his suggestion, and Mo Luo secretly scolded this Nangong Tou in his heart for not looking forward to the future.

If he is really gone forever, even if Wang Yi doesn't care about it, then he will be in vain as the hero in the book, and he will be in bad luck with him!

It's just unlucky to follow a master like Zhou Ang.

Now I just hope that Nangong Tou can settle things in the palace as soon as possible, otherwise she, Mo Luo, will really wander around the world carrying a wanted order!
