Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

The next day.

early morning.

Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes and signed in as usual.

[Sign in successfully, agility +1]

Get up and change clothes, pick up the letter I wrote last night, and walk out of the room.

The first thing I saw was Xiao Rongxue, dressed in a unicorn suit, sitting on a stone bench in the yard, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, wondering what she was thinking.

"What are you thinking about?" Ren Pingsheng walked to sit opposite her and asked casually.

Xiao Rongxue turned to look at him and asked, "Do you still remember the girl Qingying I mentioned to you last time?"

Ren Pingsheng nodded: "Remember."

On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, in order to see my sister-in-law, I used all the third realms mentioned by Wang Guowei, but in the end I never saw her.

"Miss Qingying was known as the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was somewhat famous in the south. She came to the capital just one day before she died for no reason, which naturally aroused many reveries.

There are rumors in the market that a certain dignitary wanted to force her to be his concubine. Qingying girl had a chaste character and would rather die than obey, so she hanged herself with a piece of white silk in the house. "

"."

Ren Pingsheng was speechless, and after a while he asked: "So what is the truth?"

"It's not what people say."

Xiao Rongxue sighed and said: "But this matter is too strange, and rumors inevitably spread. People from the Criminal Department were afraid of causing trouble in the city, so they handed it over to the Demon Suppression Division and asked me to find out the cause of Miss Qingying's death."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help complaining: "There are obviously three people in the yamen, and every time they encounter such a no-brainer case, they are handed over to me. Bai Ping and Murong only need to arrest people. Otherwise, it’s just to suppress evil cultivators, why not?”

Ren Pingsheng shrugged: "It's normal for those who are capable to work hard."

Xiao Rongxue looked at him: "But you were the one who solved the previous two cases."

Ren Pingsheng said: "That was also a case that I helped you solve. In essence, it was you who solved the case."

Xiao Rongxue was speechless for a moment.

Ren Pingsheng glanced at her and said: "If you don't want to investigate the case, just leave the case there. As long as you can't find anything, similar cases will not be handed over to you again in the future."

"That makes sense."

Xiao Rongxue's eyes lit up, then thought of something, and then dimmed again: "If this is the case, wouldn't the case be dragged into an unsolved case?"

In the final analysis, the sense of responsibility is still too strong.

I don’t want to work, but I don’t want to mess up.

In this case, you can only silently bear the CPU of your boss.

anyway.

In fact, there is no need for Xiao Rongxue to be too entangled.

According to the emperor's wishes, she could only leave the capital after solving five cases.

The Demon Suppression Department must have given her difficult cases.

"I think what you should be more concerned about is whether you will be trapped in the Demon Suppression Division for the rest of your life because you cannot solve five cases." Ren Pingsheng said.

Hearing this, Xiao Rongxue remembered that the reason why she was working in the Demon Suppression Division was because of the emperor's request. What she should care about was solving the case as soon as possible and traveling with swords, instead of complaining about too many cases.

To myself.

The more cases the better.

After reacting, Xiao Rongxue looked at Ren Pingsheng without saying a word, but her eyes revealed desire.

I hope Ren Pingsheng can help her.

When Ren Pingsheng saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that she still owed him ten times and had not paid back, and raised his eyebrows: "When do you plan to pay back the ten times you owed me last time?"

ten times?

Xiao Rongxue was stunned for a second and suddenly reacted.

What Ren Pingsheng said was pinching shoulders and beating legs.

After hesitating for a while, she stood up, put down the Xiuchundao on her waist, walked behind Ren Pingsheng, stretched out her slender jade hands, put them on his shoulders, and kneaded them gently.

"It's light." Ren Pingsheng said calmly.

There was a hint of embarrassment in Xiao Rongxue's eyes, and she increased her strength.

"It's heavy."

"."

Xiao Rongxue bit her silver teeth, but said nothing and silently slowed down her strength.

The rebellious Xiao Nuxia was very well-behaved this time, and Ren Pingsheng was quite satisfied and said: "So what clues have you found during the past few days?

In addition to what you said last time, an autopsy was performed and it was found that she had been dead for three years. "

"Nothing else." Xiao Rongxue said a little defeatedly.

Ren Pingsheng was a little speechless: "After checking for so many days, you only found this piece of information?"

Xiao Rongxue just remained silent.

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he suddenly regretted asking her to help him investigate the assassin's background.

Could it be that after half a month of checking, no information could be found at all?

but.

Xiao Rongxue was the only one around him who could help, and he couldn't count on the others.

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart and said slowly: "Actually, this case has no beginning and no end. It is inexplicable and difficult to investigate. The only thing that can be determined is that Miss Qingying did not die normally."

After a pause, he asked: "Speaking of which, after three years of death, the corpse is still lifelike. What kind of cultivation system can do this?"

Xiao Rongxue replied: "The Gu tribe has a way to refine fresh corpses into puppets. The puppets will maintain their original appearance and retain a certain degree of strength for several years or even decades.

But this kind of puppet cannot speak and has no consciousness of its own. Someone must be around to control it.

There are also ways for the barbarians to refine puppets, but I don’t know how effective they are. "

Ren Pingsheng thought for a few seconds and asked: "If you use the soul to control the puppet, will it achieve a lifelike effect?"

Xiao Rongxue thought about it and nodded: "It should be possible. But for cultivators of the fourth rank and below, the soul cannot leave the body for too long, otherwise it will dissipate in the world. Only extraordinary cultivators can leave the soul for up to three years."

There should be no reason for the soul of an extraordinary cultivator to leave the body and control a corpse to live in Jiangzhou for three years.

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and asked again: "Have you checked the people around Miss Qingying?"

Xiao Rongxue said seriously: "She only has a maid who serves her daily life. She has been checked and is from Jiangzhou. There is nothing unusual."

Speaking of this, he thought of something and added: "By the way, Miss Qingying's fame started in Jiangzhou three years ago."

Look at it this way.

The real Miss Qingying should have died three years ago.

Someone refined her corpse into a puppet and used his own soul to control her.

Of course, this is just an inference based on the current information, which may not be accurate.

"So, the real Miss Qingying has been dead for three years. What Xiao Rongxue wants to investigate is not her cause of death, but the cause of death of the one who borrowed the body to revive...

But, is the one who borrowed the body to revive really dead?"

Ren Pingsheng thought for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "Is there a possibility that the soul controlling Miss Qingying's body encountered some kind of change and chose to leave, thus creating the illusion of Miss Qingying's death?"

Xiao Rongxue showed a helpless look on his face: "I think so too, but there is no evidence, how to close the case?

Besides, we can't tell the people who are concerned about this matter that Miss Qingying died three years ago. You have been... What you saw is just a puppet controlled by someone? "

"It's easy. Just make up a reason and fool around."

Ren Pingsheng said seriously: "Let's say Miss Qingying has a lover. They met in Tingfeng Pavilion. When they were making love, the lover accidentally strangled Miss Qingying to death. The news has not been made public before, in order to protect Miss Qingying's reputation after death."

"."

Xiao Rongxue's eyes twitched, and she couldn't help asking: "Are you serious?"

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyebrows: "Of course, I have thought of the name of the lover, and it is called Qiwu."

Xiao Rongxue was speechless for a moment, and the movement of his hands also stopped.

Ren Pingsheng said: "In fact, in the final analysis, this is not a case at all. Those passers-by just want to hear gossip. Even if Miss Qingying died of natural causes, they will still make up some messy rumors.

In this case, it is better to follow their wishes and make up some things they want to hear. Make sure that when this news comes out, no one will talk about the rumor of forcibly marrying as a concubine. "

At this time.

Xiao Rongxue suddenly asked, "How can we explain this to the Deputy Envoy of Demon Suppression and the people of the Ministry of Justice?"

"Just tell the truth."

Ren Pingsheng said, "Let's calm the rumors first, and then slowly investigate the truth. The Ministry of Justice will understand."

Xiao Rongxue fell silent after hearing this.

Ren Pingsheng continued, "In fact, I think that instead of investigating whether Miss Qingying was killed and who the murderer was, it is better to investigate why she wanted to refine this body into a puppet and why she came to the capital at this time."

"That makes sense." Xiao Rongxue nodded slightly.

"Go on, don't stop." Ren Pingsheng reminded.

Xiao Rongxue was slightly startled, and the next second she reacted, pursed her lips, and continued to massage his shoulders.

While enjoying the massage service of the female knight, Ren Pingsheng asked, "Has the capital held any large-scale events recently?"

Miss Qingying had been in Jiangzhou before, and suddenly came to the capital, there must be a purpose.

What purpose is unknown, we can only start from the large-scale events held recently to see if we can find some clues.

Xiao Rongxue thought for a few seconds and replied: "The Dragon Boat Festival race counts as one, your marriage to Princess Chang'an counts as one, and there is also the summer hunting held at the Wusheng Mountain Hunting Ground in half a month."

"Summer hunting?" Ren Pingsheng had heard this word before, but he couldn't remember what it meant for a while.

Xiao Rongxue explained: "It is the summer hunting. During the summer hunting, the emperor will put the demon captives captured from the border in the past two years into the hunting ground near Wusheng Mountain, and let the military meritorious children hunt them. Then, according to the strength and number of demons hunted, they will be ranked and rewarded. The top three will be named demon hunting generals and can directly lead an army when they go to the border to fight against the demons."

"It sounds a bit like the imperial examination for the military meritorious children."

"Yes, that's it."

Speaking of which.

I am also a military meritorious child, and I don't know whether I should participate in this summer hunting.

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng's eyes showed curiosity, and he asked: "What realm are the participants of Xia Miao generally at?"

Xiao Rongxue said: "There are from the sixth to the ninth grade."

"No fifth grade?"

"There are not many martial arts children who can cultivate to the fifth grade. These people are either training outside or killing enemies at the border. Very few of them are still in the capital."

That's true.

Most of the warriors of this age are seventh and eighth grades.

Those with higher talents are sixth grade.

Fifth grade like Xiao Rongxue is extremely rare, otherwise, she would not be ranked ninth on the Tianjiao list.

"If the sixth and ninth grades compete on the same field and meet a powerful demon captive, then the ninth grade will be at risk of being killed?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.

"In theory, it is true, but before entering the hunting ground, who would not prepare a few life-saving magic tools for themselves? As long as they can delay some time and wait for rescue, their lives will not be in danger.

If they are really captured by the demon clan and kill them, there is nothing wrong with it. Hunting is inherently risky. "

After hearing this, Ren Pingsheng had a general understanding of this so-called Xia Miao.

Return to the case itself and get lost in thought.

Xiao Rongxue said before.

The Gu clan has the means to refine puppets.

The Gu clan and the demon clan are allies.

Could it be that Miss Qingying's visit to the capital has anything to do with Xia Miao, who will be hunting monster captives half a month later?

There is no valid information, so random guessing like this has little chance of being right.

Ren Pingsheng didn't want to waste any more time on this matter, so he said: "You can't find anything by just relying on a corpse from three years ago. Why don't you do as I said and make up a reason to quell the rumors first. If you find someone with this matter later, Let’s continue to investigate the clues related to the incident.”

When Xiao Rongxue heard this, she thought for a while and felt it made sense. She stopped insisting and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

"My lord, I still have something to do, that's all for now."

Ren Pingsheng stood up, turned to look at Xiao Rongxue, and raised his eyebrows: "Remember, you still owe me nine times."

Xiao Rongxue turned a deaf ear and said expressionlessly: "Are you going to make this one-piece osmanthus cake again?"

"." Ren Pingsheng was silent for a moment.

Xiao Rongxue said nothing more, picked up the embroidered spring knife on the table, walked towards the door, and left a message: "I will keep everything I owe you in my heart, and I will pay it back in the future."

Why are you saying this for no reason?

Ren Pingsheng felt a little baffled. He turned around and saw that Xiao Rongxue had left, so he stopped thinking about it.

He called Li Yong, took out the letter he wrote last night, handed it to him, and ordered: "Send this letter back to the north."

"Yes, Crown Prince!" Li Yong took the letter, saluted and turned to leave.

Ren Pingsheng sat alone and began to practice.

Half an hour later.

After practicing, I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t gone to coax my sister-in-law today.

He raised his eyes and looked at the sky.

Fortunately, it's not too late, it should be in time.

Ren Pingsheng hurriedly got up and walked outside the hospital.

royal palace.

Yong'an Palace.

Liu Yunmeng sat in the yard, resting his chin on his hand, looking at the door boredly, muttering in a low voice: "Why haven't you come yet? I won't come today."

aside.

Seeing this, Qing'er said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Crown Prince didn't come, maybe it was just because of an accident on the road."

Liu Yunmeng was slightly startled and asked, "What accident?"

"Maybe I met an assassin, maybe I was hit by a carriage, or maybe I went crazy while practicing. Who knows? All in all, I probably didn't miss His Highness on purpose." Qing'er said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Yunmeng's heart skipped a beat, and various pictures emerged in his mind.

...Ren Pingsheng was walking on the street when a carriage sped past and knocked him out.

...Ren Pingsheng had just gone out when a masked assassin rushed up and stabbed him in the lower abdomen. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. He fell to the ground in an instant.

The more I thought about it, the more my heart clenched together, and the delicate little face was filled with worry.

"I want to see him."

Finally, Liu Yunmeng could no longer bear the uneasiness in her heart, so she stood up and walked outside.

Seeing this, Qing'er raised a smile and said, "Your Highness cannot go to see the Crown Prince."

"Why?" Liu Yunmeng frowned slightly.

"Because His Highness said that His Highness must keep a distance from the Crown Prince, otherwise he will treat him as a loser."

This is what my mother-in-law said, not me.

Liu Yun dreamed of what his mother-in-law said to him, and gradually calmed down, but he was still worried about Ren Shengsheng. After thinking for a few seconds, he looked at Qing'er and ordered: "Send someone to Ren's mansion to take a look."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qing'er responded, turned around and left. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he heard a palace maid shouting: "The Crown Prince is here! The Crown Prince is here!"

"."

Qing'er stopped for a few seconds, then turned back: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here."

When Liu Yunmeng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is he okay?"

Hearing this question, Qing'er was speechless for a moment. He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I haven't seen the crown prince, so I think I should be fine."

"That's good."

Liu Yunmeng was completely relieved.

Seeing this scene, Qing'er thought for a moment and asked, "Will Your Highness see the Crown Prince today?"

See you. Or not see you.

Liu Yunmeng was entangled again, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, not knowing how to choose.

Her world is so small that it can only accommodate a few people...her father, mother and concubine, brother Ning Wang, and Ren Pingsheng.

This name has taken up an important part of her life, and there is no way she can sever contact with him.

but.

It would be difficult for her to pretend that nothing happened and maintain the original relationship with Ren Pingsheng.

Before Ren Pingsheng and Chang An got married, she thought she could pretend that nothing happened.

However, after they got married, she realized that whenever she thought of Ren Pingsheng, the image of him hugging Chang An could not help but pop up in her mind, and she felt indescribably uncomfortable.

aside.

Seeing the pain on His Highness's face, Qing'er felt a little distressed. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I think Your Highness doesn't need to think too much. You can see him if he wants to see you, and if you don't want to see him, he can't see you."

Having said this, he paused and then said: "Perhaps, after Your Highness follows your heart and acts, you will find that the original distress and worry are nothing at all."

When Liu Yunmeng heard this, he was slightly startled. He turned to look at Qing'er. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly felt that it made sense.

"Let him wait at the door while I go change my clothes." Liu Yunmeng pursed her lips and said.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Qing'er responded with a happy face.

Outside Yong'an Palace.

Ren Pingsheng stood on the spot upright, his expression solemn, but his heart was careless.

"Why are you so slow today? If you refuse earlier, I can go back to practice."

Thinking like this, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the house.

Immediately afterwards.

A palace maid appeared in front of him.

"Your Highness, please come in."

"I understand. I will come back to see His Highness tomorrow. Please tell His Highness that the heat has been severe recently. Drink more heat-removing soup on weekdays."

Another concern.

After saying that, a look of loneliness appeared on his face, he turned around and left, his movements done in one go, as if he had rehearsed before.

The palace maid was a little confused when she saw this scene. It took her a while to react, and she hurriedly repeated: "Your Majesty! Your Highness has agreed to see you!"

"?"

Hearing this, Ren Shengsheng was slightly startled, stopped, and turned to look at the palace maid, a little in disbelief.

How many days has it been?

My sister-in-law is willing to see me?

It seems to be much easier to coax than expected.

After Ren Pingsheng was in a daze for a few seconds, he suddenly realized that his behavior was too indifferent and did not look like a person waiting for forgiveness.

He hurriedly put on a look of surprise and said excitedly: "I have finally waited for this day."

When the palace maid saw this scene, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the prince's behavior just now, she thought that the prince's previous loneliness and pain were all pretending to deceive His Highness.

Now it seems that is not the case.

The prince was just too excited and didn't know what to do for a while.

With this thought in mind, the palace maid made an invitation gesture: "I will take the crown prince to see His Highness."

After that, return to Yong'an Palace.

Ren Pingsheng saw this and followed behind.

After a while.

Ren Pingsheng came to a courtyard and saw his sister-in-law standing not far away, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

She was obviously dressed up carefully today.

Wearing a long purple dress, embroidered with rich peonies, and a line of aqua silk hanging around the waist, her slender figure is clearly highlighted.

Her skin is as smooth as warm jade, her cherry lips are red and delicate, and the two strands of hair beside her cheeks are blowing gently in the wind, adding a bit of alluring charm.

Although she hasn't grown up yet, she already has the air of a beauty that is a disaster and a stunning beauty.

Why haven't I noticed before that my sister-in-law is so beautiful?

Ren Pingsheng was in a daze for a few seconds, and gradually realized that it might be because he had become accustomed to meeting each other every day before.

the other side.

Liu Yunmeng noticed Ren Shengsheng's eyes staring straight at him, and felt a sense of shyness and pride in his heart.

In the past few days, she had been thinking about how she would dress up when meeting Ren Pingsheng.

Now it seems that there is no blind guessing and the effect is very good.

As I was thinking this, I heard Ren Pingsheng's voice.

"Your Highness has lost weight."

Liu Yunmeng raised her eyes and saw that Ren Pingsheng's eyes had changed from stunning to distressed.

Why does he feel sorry for himself?

Have you lost a lot of weight?

Liu Yunmeng thought so and saw Ren Pingsheng walking towards him.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Your Highness wouldn't be sad these days, nor would he be much thinner. I deserve to die."

Ren Pingsheng walked up to Liu Yunmeng, his face full of pain and self-blame, his eyes filled with distress, and he subconsciously reached out to touch her face.

Half way through, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped, just hanging in the air.

aside.

When Qing'er and the palace maid saw this scene, their expressions were moved, and their minds were full of the fact that the Crown Prince was really passionate about His Highness.

When Liu Yunmeng heard Ren Shengsheng's words full of self-blame, her eyes gradually turned to autumn water, and she stared at his face with only one thought in her heart.

He looked so haggard.

the other side.

Ren recalled the romantic drama clips he had seen and tried his best to imitate them.

First, he used his whole life's acting skills to make himself look haggard and remorseful, and then said slowly with a trembling voice: "I really hope that your highness can forget the memories of getting along with me. In this way, your highness will not be embarrassed because of me." I feel sad, I can bear all the pain alone.”

The words fell.

It was quiet.

Ren Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw no one responded.

"Is it possible that you used too much force and made it awkward?

It would indeed be a bit embarrassing if my sister-in-law didn't do this. "

Ren Pingsheng was thinking this, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Liu Yunmeng's beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with mist, as if she was about to shed tears in the next second.

The maid's sobbing voice came from beside her: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's so touching."

"."

Ren Pingsheng's eyes twitched and he opened his mouth, wanting to continue to admit his mistake.

Before she could speak, a soft body rushed into her arms.

Liu Yunmeng threw herself into his arms, her body trembling slightly, her face buried in his chest, sobbing silently.

soon.

The clothes on Ren Pingsheng's chest were wet with tears, and an indescribable emotion arose in his heart.

All the previously prepared routines were forgotten at this moment.

He gently hugged the little girl's slender waist, said nothing, and allowed her to hug him tightly.

Time passes minute by minute.

I do not know how long it has been.

Liu Yunmeng's soft voice came from his arms.

"I do not want."

Ren Pingsheng was stunned and didn't understand what she meant.

Then I heard my sister-in-law say: "Don't forget the memories of getting along with you."

Put it before.

After hearing such a disgusting sentence, Ren Pingsheng could only silently complain in his heart: Awkward.

but.

At this moment, there was only warmth and emotion in Ren's heart.

With a little force in his hands, he held the girl in his arms and said softly: "As long as His Highness is happy, I am willing to do anything for His Highness."

After saying that, he clearly felt that the girl in his arms trembled slightly.

After a while.

Liu Yunmeng slowly raised her head, staring at him with her watery eyes, as if she had made some important decision, and her voice trembled: "Let's elope."

Ren Pingsheng: "."

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

There was deathly silence all around.

A few seconds later.

Liu Yunmeng's pear-shaped little face smiled brightly: "Just kidding, I see you are scared."

Ren Pingsheng: "."

At this time, no matter what he said or did, it was inappropriate... There were many thoughts in his mind, and Ren Pingsheng finally chose to remain silent.

When Liu Yunmeng said the word elopement just now, he was also in a hurry, but he quickly calmed down and pretended that nothing happened.

He stretched out his slender little hand, wiped away his tears, and changed the subject: "I ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made. It was delicious."

Ren Pingsheng tacitly agreed not to mention what happened just now, smiled and said, "As long as His Highness likes it."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered that there were two palace ladies nearby just now.

If they heard about the elopement and spread the word, my sister-in-law would be in trouble.

He turned around and saw that there was nothing on the side, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't feel anyone leaving just now.

Therefore, the two palace maids should have left when the sister-in-law threw herself into her arms.

It's quite a bit discerning.

As Ren Pingsheng was thinking this, he heard the soft and slightly hoarse voice of his sister-in-law crying.

"Chang An used to bully me every day. As her husband, you have to atone for her sins.

Hmm. How about I punish you by bringing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made by yourself to the palace and playing chess with me every seven days from now on? "

Ren Pingsheng looked at his sister-in-law and asked, "Why are they seven days apart?"

I'm not afraid that you are busy practicing and have no time to see me.

Liu Yunmeng thought so in her heart, but did not say so. She just said: "Seven days is seven days, how can there be so many reasons."

"If I miss Your Highness, can you come here earlier?" Ren Pingsheng asked softly.

Liu Yunmeng was startled, and looked up, and saw Ren Pingsheng's handsome face with a faint smile, and his brows were full of tenderness. His heart trembled, as if there was an electric current surging, and a tingling feeling arose. .

"The legs are on you, it's up to you." Liu Yunmeng's long eyelashes trembled slightly and she bit her pink lips.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the pink and cute little girl in front of him, with a smile on his lips. He couldn't help but feel flirtatious, and said with a smile: "If Your Highness doesn't hate me, I will come to see His Highness often. If His Highness does."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the shouts of the palace maid coming from outside the courtyard.

"See Concubine Duan!"

Duan Fei?

Ren Pingsheng was slightly startled, and suddenly realized that she might be his sister-in-law's biological mother.

He turned to look at his sister-in-law, his eyes were slightly red, the tears on the sides of his cheeks were not dry, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly panicked.

He looked like he had been bullied miserably.

Let’s not talk about a man and a woman living together in the same room.

Just tell me which mother has no other thoughts in mind when she sees her daughter crying like this?

now.

Ren Pingsheng actually felt a little at a loss.

How will I explain it to Concubine Duan later?

Just say that you are just here to play chess with your sister-in-law?

It sounds a bit covert.

Otherwise, just confess that you are here to pick up girls, bah, keep them company.

It seems even more inappropriate.

If that doesn't work, how about using Qinggong to climb over the palace wall?

Ren Pingsheng's mind was spinning rapidly. Before he could think of a suitable method, he heard the footsteps outside the hospital getting closer and closer.

at this time.

Liu Yunmeng suddenly stretched out her slender jade hands, grabbed his arm, and pulled him into the house.

What's the matter with dragging him into the house?

If this were seen, wouldn't it be easier to misunderstand?

Ren Pingsheng thought this way and was still a little resistant.

Seeing this, Liu Yunmeng felt a little anxious and lightly stamped her feet: "Come in with me."

Ren Pingsheng had no choice but to follow her into the house.

Liu Yunmeng looked around the room, fixed his eyes on the bed, and said hurriedly: "Go to bed!"

"."

The corners of Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched, and he only had one thought in his mind: My sister-in-law is trying to harm me!

"Can't it be under the bed?"

Liu Yunmeng originally wanted to cover him under the quilt, but when he heard this, he was slightly startled and nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything later and don't come out."

"good."

Ren Pingsheng said no more and got under the bed decisively.

Liu Yunmeng stood aside, took a few glances, and found that there was no abnormality. He wiped his tears and walked out.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw her mother-in-law appearing at the door of the courtyard, still looking dignified, with a gentle smile on her face.

"My mother made some sweet-scented osmanthus cheese this morning and sent it to your father. There was still some left. I thought you liked it, so I gave it to you."

As Concubine Duan spoke, she looked up and saw that her daughter's eyes were slightly red, there were clear tears on her cheeks, and her hair on her forehead was wet with sweat and looked slightly messy.

just like.

Although I knew that my Meng'er was definitely not the kind of person who would just settle down, seeing this scene.

She still couldn't help but have some thoughts, her face instantly turned cold, and she asked nonchalantly: "Has anyone been here before my mother-in-law?"

When Liu Yunmeng heard this, his heart sank, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "It's not like mother and concubine don't know that I always like to be alone. Who would come to my place this early in the morning?"

I said this, but I was praying silently in my heart, don’t be discovered, don’t be discovered

She still remembers.

The mother-in-law had repeatedly told herself that even if she maintained her current relationship with Ren Pingsheng, she should not get too close to him and keep a certain distance.

If the mother and concubine knew that she allowed Ren Pingsheng to enter the palace and hugged him.

The mother-in-law will definitely punish herself.

Punishment is a trivial matter.

It would be troublesome if the mother-in-law did not allow Ren Pingsheng to come to the palace again.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward, took her mother-in-law's arm, shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "My son, I haven't eaten crispy cheese for many days, and it's cheese with osmanthus added. It's still mother-in-law." I understand Erchen and know that he likes sweet-scented osmanthus.”

Her heart was beating loudly, and she had no idea what she was talking about. She just wanted to distract her mother-in-law.

Little did I know.

The more she behaves like this, the more suspicious Duan Concubine becomes.

At this moment.

Concubine Duan looked at her daughter's abnormal appearance and was almost certain.

Someone has been here before.

And it’s most likely a man!

"With Meng'er's original character, it is absolutely impossible to bring someone back to the palace, let alone be with someone.

Could it be that he saw Ren Pingsheng marrying Chang An with his own eyes, felt depressed, and deliberately took revenge?

No, no, Meng'er is not such a person.

What's going on. "

At this moment, Concubine Duan was in a state of confusion, her face became colder and she said nothing.

When Liu Yunmeng saw that his mother-in-law was silent, he became more and more panicked and his voice trembled a little: "Mother, mother-in-law, where is the cheese you brought? I want to try it."

"Um."

Concubine Duan was afraid of irritating her daughter again, so she calmed down, nodded slightly, and winked at the palace maid behind her.

The palace maid behind her immediately understood and brought over a bowl of cheese with sweet-scented osmanthus and nuts sprinkled on top. It looked very good.

"My concubine's craftsmanship is really amazing. Even the chefs at Guanglu Temple can't make cheese like this."

As Liu Yunmeng spoke, he reached for the cheese, picked up the spoon, took a bite, put it into his mouth, and tasted it while talking.

Concubine Duan looked at her slightly panicked eyes and suddenly felt a little distressed.

If Ren Pingsheng hadn't married Chang An, Meng'er's temperament would not have changed drastically and she would have done something completely inconsistent with her original character.

He sighed in his heart and said, "Go in and sit down. My mother-in-law has something to say to you."

When Liu Yunmeng heard this, he couldn't help but think of Ren Pingsheng, who was still lying under the bed, and felt a little hesitant.

But worried about arousing suspicion from her mother-in-law, she quickly made a decision and nodded gently: "Yes."

The two of them entered the main room one after the other.

Concubine Duan sat on the chair, looking at her absent-minded daughter holding a bowl in front of her, and said earnestly: "Meng'er, when some things are still there, you don't think they are worth anything. Only when they are lost can you know how precious they are. "

"Um."

Liu Yunmeng didn't understand why her mother-in-law suddenly mentioned this, but she nodded slightly.

I wanted to let my mother-in-law finish her words as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.

"Meng'er, I'm not joking with you. Put down the bowl, sit down in front of me, and listen carefully to what I have to say."

Concubine Duan's tone suddenly became serious.

After Liu Yunmeng heard this, he was afraid that his mother-in-law would find out the clues, so he did not dare to be negligent at all. He put the cheese on the table and sat down next to his mother-in-law.

"Mother and concubine, please tell me, I will listen carefully." Liu Yunmeng had a serious look on his face, but his eyes drifted towards the bed subconsciously.

Concubine Duan did not notice this scene, but she still looked serious and said slowly: "Concubine Mother knows that since your brother Prince Ning left the capital, you have been depressed and doing nothing all day long.

It was Ren who played chess with you, took you shopping, and stepped forward to save your life when you encountered an assassin. It was only human nature that you became dependent on him.

But this kind of dependence may not be the kind of emotion you think. You don't need to take it too seriously. It would be foolish to give up on yourself just because he married a wife.

My mother-in-law said something ugly, if you had not given up on yourself, even if Ren Pingsheng had married Chang An, he might not be tempted by you again. If you...

Hey, the mother-in-law knows that you won’t take it to heart when the mother-in-law says these things. You are still young and don’t understand men.”

The words are not finished yet.

Liu Yunmeng on the side finally came to his senses, was slightly dazed, and asked: "What are you talking about, giving up on yourself?"

Still don't admit it

Concubine Duan's face grew colder, she looked straight at Liu Yunmeng, and asked: "Tell me the truth, concubine, before concubine, was there a man who came to your place?"

Hear the question.

Liu Yunmeng felt that his breathing had stopped for a second, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, beating non-stop.

"No!"

The next second, she decisively denied it without any hesitation.

While speaking, his eyes drifted to the bed uncontrollably.

This time.

Concubine Duan finally noticed this detail and followed her gaze.

When I saw the bed, my heart sank to the bottom.

At the same time, a bold idea came to mind.

Could it be

That man is in the house and hasn't left yet?
