Ning Que went to see Xu Zhi again after the court meeting.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that neither of them showed any signs of illness.

"Your Majesty ordered someone to find the woman who returned to Beijing with Mr. Fang and behaved very closely." Ning Que directly explained the purpose of his visit.

Xu Zhi said in surprise: "You mean my niece?"

Ning Que said: "I'm afraid... they suspect that Fang Shao brought the disease back from abroad."

"What should I do? If she is taken away by the people from the government office, she is a weak woman and I'm afraid she will suffer a lot." Xu Zhi said worriedly.

Ning Que comforted her and said: "I'll come up with something... There's another thing. Mr. Fang's real sweetheart is named Huiniang. Mr. Fang hid her very well and couldn't find out her identity. If it weren't for Fang Shao's love, he really wouldn't be able to bear it. Just keep showing off. I’m afraid no one knows that this Hui Niang exists.”

Xu Zhi sighed: "It's useless to know this now. Anyway, everyone is dead, and Qianru won't miss him anymore."

Ning Que said: "A woman whose identity is unknown is a bit strange..."

"What's weird?"

Ning Que did not go into details. He only felt that this incident had a strong smell of someone manipulating it behind the scenes.

Ning Que was anxious to go back and find a way out for Xu Qianru, so he didn't stay long.

Now that Xu Zhi's attitude towards him is showing signs of loosening, it is a very good thing. How can it happen overnight?

"Wait." Xu Zhi called him as usual.

Ning Que turned around, thinking that she was going to take out some snacks and ask him to bring them.

Xu Zhi handed him a medicine bag and said: "My family used to run a medicine shop. It's just that I was playful when I was young, and I still don't understand medicine. I only vaguely know that if you use Schisandra chinensis, you can make your body strong and avoid disasters. …”

Ning Que couldn't hide his excitement and took the medicine package with both hands: "I know Madam's thoughts."

Xu Zhi originally wanted him to get out of here.

But when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them.

Ning Que grabbed the medicine bag and climbed over the wall with more energy. Didn't he look like he was about to get sick?

He went to see Mr. Lin at night.

Mr. Lin has been working hard in Beijing for many years, and because of their relationship with Princess Xuan, the two of them are so close that they can entrust each other with important matters.

Now all he needs to do is use his brains and connect with Mr. Lin to save Xu Qianru from danger...

"Okay, Mr. Ning, you can rest assured. Even if it is to honor Princess Xuan, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Mr. Lin sighed as he spoke, and said: "I heard that Princess Xuan was going to return to the capital some time ago, so I hurried back to the capital, thinking that I would see him again if I had the chance. Now that something like this has happened, Princess Xuan is here in a hurry. It’s better not to be burdened along the way…”

Mr. Lin pulled Ning Que's sleeve again and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, I returned to Beijing and I have Ning Gong to help me. We will definitely be able to save the Xu family... But Ning Gong works so hard..."

As Mr. Lin talked, he seemed to have finally discovered something was wrong.

He suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Ning Que: "Ning Gong actually..."

Ning Que let out a breath, not wanting to be known to outsiders.

But he couldn't hold it back, and he really wanted to let others know that he was closer to Xu Zhi now... He was so proud that he couldn't hide it from the corners of his eyebrows.

Thinking back to the fact that Mr. Lin was rescued by Princess Xuan because of the Crown Princess, he is now an ironclad member of Prince Xuan's party.

Ning Que was not prepared to hide it any longer...

He opened his mouth: "Yes, I..."

Before Ning Que finished speaking, Mr. Lin pointed at him and said with great shock: "You actually want to be the father of His Highness Prince Xuan!"

Ning Que: "..." That's right.

"Ning Gong is really... so ambitious!"

Ning Que smiled bitterly in his heart. What a big ambition? I just hope that King Xuan and Princess Xuan know about it in the future and don't break his legs...

In the next few days, Xu Qianru was not disturbed at all.

How could the Puyang Marquis Mansion conceal the fact that they wanted to propose marriage to the Xu family from others? In fact, they would know it once they checked.

But no one came to the Xu family's door to ask for help.

Xu Zhi finally felt at ease.

When she saw Ning Que in the evening, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She had obviously given birth to a pair of children, but now she was really happy, and she actually looked like a little daughter.

As soon as Ning Que landed, he was dazzled by the smile on her face.

"Madam..." He just started to raise his head.

Xu Zhi took the initiative to take a step forward and praised: "You are really capable. No one came to arrest Qianru."

Ning Que said: "That Huiniang was captured by the county captain."

Xu Zhi understood: "Since Fang Shao's friends only knew Hui Niang, they simply led them to Hui Niang, so in the end it was Hui Niang who was taken away? This move is really..."

She hasn't said the word "awesome" yet.

Ning Que shook his head and said: "No, this is not my handwriting. Now think carefully about the confession of the county captain at that time, he was trying to lead Hui Niang away from the beginning."

Xu Zhi was stunned, it was really difficult to understand the twists and turns.

"A Huiniang whose identity is unknown and who only exists in the mouths of others has been caught like this." Ning Que paused, "It can be seen that Huiniang is just a chess piece to promote the situation."

Xu Zhi: "Chess pieces?"

She became even more confused.

Why is this a chess piece?

Ning Que showed a look of understanding: "This epidemic in Beijing, the person playing chess... is King Xuan."

"What?" How does it have anything to do with her good son-in-law?

Xu Zhi wondered: "How can we play chess when others are not in the capital?"

"Yes, this is exactly his brilliance..."

This is also the scary thing about him. But Ning Que swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Ning Que noticed the confusion on Xu Zhi's face, and patiently explained to her: "Whether it's Fang Shao or any of the other county magistrate's daughters who came to propose marriage. You also know there is a conspiracy."

"good."

"Your Highness must also know that this is for Prince Xuan's Palace. But can His Highness directly give an order not to allow my family to marry other families in the capital?"

"……cannot."

Ning Que nodded: "Yes, this is too overbearing. The Xu family may not listen, and they may even think about why you only allow your daughters to flourish and not allow them to stand up and jump over the dragon gate.

"So when Fang Shao approached Miss Xu, Hui Niang also approached Fang Shao.

"It is certainly effective to use Huiniang to expose Fang Shao's true face. But Miss Xu will definitely feel very painful. She will doubt for a long time that she is not worthy of being liked by others, and others have other motives for treating her well. What's more, she rejected her How can we reject Fang Shao, a daughter of a county magistrate? Does everyone need to have someone like Huiniang next to them?"

Ning Que said this in one breath, his breathing suddenly became lighter, and then he said slowly: "He asked Fang Shao to die to induce bone steaming disease."

“It is normal for a few more people to die when an epidemic occurs.

"Who is not afraid of death? Within two or three months, no one dared to come to the door to seek matchmaking. After two or three months, the disease disappeared and the freedom to marry was not affected at all."

"Hui Niang also prepared it early in the morning. No one will be wronged on Miss Xu."

"But it's not enough..."

Ning Que fell into deep thought as he spoke, and whispered: "King Xuan used the epidemic as a cover, he would never stop just to deal with these people... What else does he want to use Hui Niang to lure out, what does he want... to do?"

After all, Ning Que still knew too little about King Xuan.

Although he stood in King Xuan's camp, the two sides had never really communicated with each other.

Ning Que realized that he had neglected Xu Zhi and quickly raised his head to look at her.

But he saw Xu Zhi looking at him.

"I talked too much to myself..." Ning Que said apologetically.

Xu Zhi waved her hand cheerfully: "I understand a little bit. No matter what, as long as this is King Xuan's handwriting, then I don't have to worry about Qingyin's safety."

Ning Que immediately relaxed: "Yes, don't worry. His Highness Prince Xuan...should take good care of her."

After Ning Que finished speaking, he found that Xu Zhi was still looking at him, and his breathing suddenly became lighter.

"Madam...why are you looking at me? Is it because I messed up my hair today?" Ning Que became nervous.

Xu Zhi said: "I see there is something different about you."

Ning Que became even more nervous: "What's the difference?"

Xu Zhi said nothing.

What's the difference? It's very different from Xue Chengdong.

Naturally, she and Xue Chengdong once really liked each other. But she was born in a businessman's family, and her knowledge was shallow. The young man's love gradually faded with the age, and the only thing left was that the two of them could not talk about each other.

Xue Chengdong knew that she didn't understand the court affairs.

She also couldn't bear to deal with the dispute over the Xue family's back house.
