Chapter 8
Chapter 8
System: "The heroine's relationship line has progressed!"
Zhang Ning regained his energy all of a sudden, and asked, "Who is it?"
System: "Xiahou Xingzhou."
Zhang Ning was surprised and said, "Seventh Prince?"
Among these male lead candidates, Zhang Ning is actually the seventh prince Xiahou Xingzhou who he is least optimistic about.
Although Xiahou Xingzhou is an expensive prince, he has no title yet, and living in the palace is too troublesome to come out every time.
Zhang Ning would rather believe that it is more likely that the prince of Lingnan or the young master Yuwen is the hero, in case Baili Sihan bumps into him on the street one day, and falls in love at first sight naturally.
The system said: "They met each other at the Baihua Banquet poetry meeting a long time ago. If the emotional line moved at that time, it would be considered 'love at first sight'."
Zhang Ning: "Oh, I'm just giving you an example."
The second reason is that the Seventh Prince is well known to be unfavorable, and even the current Holy Majesty still somewhat dislikes half of his alien blood.
The system said: "Didn't you guess before that the seventh prince has been forbearing, and then step by step to seize the heir?"
Zhang Ning sighed, "It's all speculation."
The system added: "Currently, the heroine's love line is 20%, which can be regarded as liking."
Zhang Ning was still struggling with that question: "How did Baili Sihan meet him..."
He suddenly remembered that when Baili Sihan said goodbye to him that day, he said he was going to the palace: "Could it be from that day on?"
The system detects that the heroine's emotional line has fluctuated, and after a while, it replies, "It should be."
"No way, is it really that time?" Zhang Ning sighed, "It really is fate."
The system said: "By the way, since the relationship line is Xiahou Xingzhou, let me remind you that the next plot line is easy to guess."
Zhang Ning asked: "What is it?"
The system said: "Help the Seventh Prince Xiahou Xingzhou win the throne."
Zhang Ning: "...What do you base your inference on." This plot line is not so difficult.
The system hummed, and said, "I'm a system connected to the novel world, and I've been in the novel world for many years, believe it or not."
Zhang Ning: "Okay, okay, trust me."
In fact, Zhang Ning is quite convinced.Because this world is still an ancient romance novel after all, the identities of the hero and heroine are not low, and it is more likely that the emotional line and the plot line will advance at the same time.
Now that the male protagonist has been locked and confirmed, the plot line basically has a general direction, so that the emotional line of the female protagonist will also slowly advance.
Spring is over in a blink of an eye, and the marriage between Wei Shengbai and the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites has been booked, and it will be at the end of autumn.
Zhang Ning heard that Zhong Liyuan was suddenly sent to Shu, and he would not be able to return until several months later.And he hasn't seen Zhong Liyuan since that day.
Zhang Ning also asked the system: "What do you mean when he asked me?"
The system said, "How do I know?"
"And what the heroine said," Zhang Ning sighed, "Tell me to be careful about Zhong Liyuan..."
The system said: "It may be to remind you to be careful that he is crazy, but you just ran into it."
Zhang Ning recalled it, and felt that Zhong Liyuan really seemed crazy that day.
After all, there are many rumors about Zhong Liyuan, such as his moody temper, and the massacre of prisoners and guards...
Father and brother are very busy every day, so Zhang Ning is too embarrassed to go out to play.Moreover, Wei Shengbai seriously emphasized that he is not allowed to contact Helan's family and Yuwen's family anymore, but he did not say a reason.The summer was so hot that he didn't bother to go out, so he just listened to Wei Shengbai's words, and lived in the Duke Huguo's mansion very peacefully, and even read several books.
But at the same time, he is also anxious about the heroine's motionless plot line and emotional line.
The system saw that he had been very peaceful these days, and was still obsessed with the task, so he comforted him: "How can you be in a hurry when it comes to falling in love."
Zhang Ning: "...it seems to make sense."
Soon, the Beginning of Autumn Festival will arrive.Autumn symbolizes a good harvest. The emperors of this dynasty attached great importance to this day and worshiped the God of Five Grains on that day.
This year, the Holy Majesty also held a grand banquet for the royal relatives and important ministers.
Zhang Ning was called up by Wei Shengbai early in the morning, and repeatedly told him several times:
"Always follow my father and me, don't run around;"
"If someone talks to you, please answer carefully, don't offend anyone;"
"Also, we must..."
"Brother," Zhang Ning said helplessly, with a black thread on his head, "I'm not a child anymore."
Wei Shengbai sighed, there seemed to be many things hidden in his eyes: "You don't understand."
Zhang Ning: "..."
It was getting dark early in autumn, and the Huguogong's mansion prepared a carriage early to send the Huguogong's family to the palace.
Zhang Ning was sitting with his father and brother, and when he looked up, he found that the heroine Baili Sihan was sitting opposite him.She is the legitimate daughter, sitting with the prime minister Bailifeng, followed by the step-wife and the heroine's younger sister Baili Xueyao.
Zhang Ning said: "It's been a long time since I saw the heroine, she really looks better and better."
Baili Sihan is also fast now, with bright eyes and bright teeth, brows as light as smoke, looking around the audience, his looks are outstanding.
Baili Sihan hadn't seen Zhang Ning for a long time, so he was taken aback when he saw him now, and then smiled at him.
Zhang Ning also met his future sister-in-law, the daughter of the minister of rites, named Zong Shihe, who lived up to her name and had a face like a lotus.Zhang Ning met once from a distance before, she is a gentle lady of a family, and her mother is very satisfied with this marriage.
The system suddenly said: "Look who is over there."
Zhang Ning turned his head to look, and met a pair of gloomy eyes.
Zhang Ning didn't know when Zhong Liyuan returned to Beijing. He seemed to be a little thinner. He was still sitting in a wheelchair, his brows and eyes were cold, and his aura was very depressed. It's like staring at some prey.
But handsome is still handsome, Zhang Ning looked at him for a while, recalled the scene in the study a few months ago, and turned his head back silently: "If he looks at the emperor like this, will the emperor kill him? "
System: "...I don't know."
After listening to his elder brother's words, Zhang Ning sat obediently and didn't know what to eat after a meal.
Finally, the band playing went down and the dancers came up and danced in the center of the hall.
Zhang Ning looked at it for a while, and suddenly found that the hostess on the opposite side had disappeared between the dancing sleeves of the dancers.
He looked left and right, and found that all the female relatives at the banquet had left, as if they were going to greet the queen together.
Just as Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, the system suddenly beeped: "Warning warning, the plot line has reached a turning point, please help the heroine to get through the plot safely."
Zhang Ning suddenly got up, Wei Shengbai held him back: "Where are you going?"
Zhang Ning paused and said, "Go to the toilet."
Wei Shengbai said: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Zhang Ning shook his head quickly: "No need."
Zhang Ning left the hall in a hurry, the sound of singing and dancing gradually faded away, he asked the system: "My brother is not a brother-in-law, is he? Even if I go to the toilet..."
The system didn't answer him, and quickly said: "It's almost there, it's in the side hall behind, go there quickly!"
The Imperial Garden looked eerie at night, and the flowers, plants and trees in the daytime all turned into monsters with claws and claws. Baili Sihan stood by the lake and looked at Baili Xueyao coldly: "Why, do you want to push me down?" ?”
"Or jump in by yourself, and I pushed you to frame you?"
Baili Xueyao laughed stiffly: "What did sister say?"
Baili Sihan didn't want to talk so much nonsense to her, so he turned around and was about to leave, but she stopped him: "Sister!"
Baili Xueyao gritted her teeth: "You...do you know what crime it is to have an affair with the prince!"
Baili Sihan narrowed his eyes slowly: "What do you know?"
Zhang Ning arrived at the side hall mentioned by the system, running out of breath, opened the door but saw a person sitting inside.
"Helan Prince?" Zhang Ning said, "Why are you here?"
He Lanyi was also surprised to see him, with an unnatural expression on his face: "I..."
"You, you are in such a hurry," He Lanyi said, "What are you doing?"
While talking, he poured two cups of tea and handed them to Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning stared at the teacup, seeing that He Lan's hands were shaking, and he couldn't help sighing.
He didn't drink the cup of tea, but said to He Lanyi: "Your Highness, why are you here now? I also understand in my heart."
Zhang Ning said: "If you leave now, there should be still time."
Baili Sihan was really impatient in her heart, but she still followed Baili Xueyao. She was vigilant in her heart and wanted to see what Baili Xueyao wanted to do.
She followed Baili Xueyao to a side hall, before she entered, she suddenly saw a man running out in embarrassment.
Baili Xueyao shouted in shock: "His Royal Highness, why did you come out!"
He Lanyi fell to the ground in panic, looked up at Bailisi's inquisitive eyes, and waved his hands again and again: "I regret it! I'm quitting!"
He said this to Baili Xueyao, He Lanyi pushed Baili Xueyao down, got up and ran.
At this moment, there was a sound in the side hall, and Baili Sihan subconsciously turned his head to look, but was suddenly slashed on the back of the neck and passed out on the spot.
Zhang Ning scared He Lanyi away with a few words, and even set out the story of the female supporting role trying to frame the heroine.
"Young man, oh," Zhang Ning sighed, "what's wrong with you, you have to fight the heroine."
Now that the matter was settled, he got up and was about to leave when he suddenly became dizzy.
My legs and feet were limp for some reason, and I couldn't exert all my strength.When Zhang Ning saw the burnt incense burner on the table, he was done thinking.
It turned out that the medicine was not put in the water, but in the incense burner.
It is too late to understand now, Zhang Ning only hopes that the heroine will not be fooled.
Before Zhang Ning fell into a coma, he seemed to hear noises outside the hall.His mind was in chaos, and when he fell down, he tore off the tablecloth forcefully, smashing the things on it to pieces.
Seeing that the banquet was about to end, and Wei Shengbai hadn't seen Zhang Ning come back, he suppressed his uneasiness and got up to go out.
A eunuch rushed over and whispered something to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at the people at the banquet, saw that Zhong Liyuan's seat was vacant, and frowned slightly. He waved his hand to make people retreat, then stood up and said, "My dear friends, the queen is listening to a play at Xiyue Pavilion, are you interested in accompanying me?" Shall I go together?"
When Baili Sihan woke up, she had a splitting headache. She staggered to her feet and found that she was not the only one in the hall.
The woman lying next to her looked familiar, she thought for a while, and recognized her as the daughter of the Minister of Rites, who seemed to be called Zong Shihe.
Why is Zong Shihe here?
Baili Sihan didn't have time to think, fearing that something might happen again, he just wanted to leave quickly.
She took a few steps and found that there was still a person lying down under the table.
"Microbiology?!"
Baili Sihan only felt that this room was arranged by Baili Xueyao to frame her, and maybe someone would push open the door of the palace in the next moment and accuse them of having an affair.
But there was still a woman lying there, and Baili Sihan didn't dare to ignore Zhang Ning, calling him several times, trying to wake him up.
The palace door was suddenly pushed open, and Baili Sihan was startled, before he could see who it was, he was suddenly pushed aside violently.
Baili Sihan raised his head to see the person coming, and said in amazement, "How could you..."
After all, he was in the palace, so Wei Shengbai didn't dare to wander around, he suddenly found a hall in front of him with lights on, and when he got closer, he found Zhong Liyuan was near that side hall.
Zhong Liyuan was sitting in a wheelchair, but he seemed to be hugging someone in his arms, wrapped in a cloak.
Wei Shengbai was puzzled, walked over and took a look under the light, and the half face exposed was his younger brother!
"General Zhongli!" Wei Shengbai hurriedly went to pick up Zhang Ning, "What's wrong with Ah Shu?"
"I advise you to save your fiancée as soon as possible."
Zhong Liyuan avoids Wei Shengbai's hand, and protects Zhang Ning in his arms.His expression was hidden in the darkness and he couldn't see clearly, he said coldly: "No matter how late it is, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Wei Shengbai didn't say anything when he heard the words, and hurried into the hall, and saw He Lanyi lying on the ground, and the two daughters of the prime minister's family.
It's just that they didn't faint. Baili Sihan, the prime minister's daughter, was pressing her younger sister's arm without hesitation. When she saw Weishengbai coming in, she hurriedly said, "Master Weisheng, quickly take your fiancee out!"
Zong Shihe was unconscious in the corner, Wei Shengbai picked her up and said, "Miss Baili, what is going on?"
"It's too late to explain," Baili Xueyao struggled with her mouth covered, and Baili Sihan suddenly hit her sister hard on the back of the neck. Seeing her faint, she breathed a sigh of relief: "We Hurry up, people will come here soon."
Baili Sihan's foot may have been twisted, she was walking slowly while leaning on the wall, her head covered in cold sweat.Wei Shengbai held Zong Shihe in his arms, and when he left the side hall, he found that Zhong Liyuan had taken Zhang Ning away at some point. thing?"
Bailisi frowned in pain, but did not answer.
The lights in the distance flickered, it seemed that many people were coming, Wei Shengbai recognized the imperial chariot at the front, and when he thought about what happened just now, he was terrified.
But at this time, Baili Sihan showed a smile, turned his head to look at the side hall just now, and said softly: "They are finished."
The author has something to say: I wrote two articles at the same time yesterday, and then forgot to post them.
Then I used the computer to send a text for the first time, but I sent it wrong (kneeling down)
The online review is very slow, and there is no way to modify it. I got up early to read it, but the result has not been reviewed (bitter)
