Chapter 140 A man’s mouth is a liar
Inside the dimly lit Biqin Palace.
Lady Mingzhu has already opened the palace windows and removed the curtains.
Lady Mingzhu looked languidly at a bronze mirror in front of her, then sat down at the table, picked up a wooden comb, and began to groom her long black hair.
After glancing around the palace, Lady Mingzhu let out a soft sigh, her eyes as deep as the starry sky.
"After all these years, it's time for a change of scenery..."
Lady Mingzhu glanced at Han Wang'an, who was still struggling with the support pillar, with some disgust, and gently waved her hand.
Amidst the swirling incense smoke, Han Wang'an's body collapsed to the ground.
"The usual..."
A wolf-shaped black shadow flashed into view and quickly left with Han Wang'an.
……
Time flies like an arrow; it passes in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Ying Jing got up very early, and Yan Ling Ji also got up very early.
Early in the morning, Ying Jing had already dispatched experts from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) to invite Madam Hu over.
Of course, Nongyu was also invited.
Neither Liu Yi's residence nor Zilan Pavilion was a suitable place for them to meet.
Ying Jing decided to go all the way and lent them a place to meet.
……
In the study of the post station.
Ying Jing was reading through the latest intelligence from the Luo Wang, while Yan Ling Ji blinked pitifully beside him.
While the people from Luowang went to welcome Lady Hu and Nongyu, Ying Jing also looked for something to do to pass the time.
The intelligence network here has already been filtered, but according to previous practice, Yan Lingji will filter it again, and only the more important information will be reported.
After all, Ying Jing was often away from the post station, and the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) had collected so much intelligence that it was impossible for him to understand it all in detail.
Yan Lingji was quite satisfied with this intelligence-sifting task, especially some of the little-known gossip...
Which official's concubine is having an affair with the steward, which nobleman has homosexual tendencies... This is practically her spiritual sustenance when Ying Jing is not around!
Unfortunately, Ying Jing stole her spiritual nourishment today.
"The famous ones are quite quick to act, and they're making quite a splash."
Ying Jing saw a familiar message.
Gongsun Linglong, a successor of the renowned master in this generation, is currently enjoying great success.
He set out from the State of Wei, having defeated many masters from various schools of thought, and headed straight for Xinzheng.
Meanwhile, another piece of news was circulating throughout the land.
Mr. Gongsun will go to Korea to debate with Lord Changxin.
This is, of course, a rumor.
Ying Jing had never heard of this, nor had Gongsun Linglong mentioned it.
"Master, these people from the famous families are truly despicable. I'll have the Hundred Poison King and the others teach them a lesson!"
Yan Lingji rested her head on Ying Jing's shoulder, her tone somewhat indignant.
Gongsun Linglong did not admit to this, but she did indeed travel straight to Xinzheng, South Korea.
Perhaps there were others behind this, but Gongsun Linglong probably did indeed want to use Ying Jing to make a name for herself.
Although King Han An was just boasting back then, it cannot be denied that Ying Jing has indeed gained considerable prestige.
"Use me to make a name for yourself?"
Ying Jing merely scoffed: "No need. If she really has the guts, I wouldn't mind letting her know what it means for a scholar to encounter a soldier."
Ying Jing didn't have to wait long before Nongyu arrived, since Zilan Pavilion was closer.
However, Zi Nu also came with Nong Yu.
Ying Jing and Yan Lingji left the study together and entertained the two women in the living room.
"Greetings, Lord Changxin!"
Both Zi Nu and Nong Yu bowed.
Ying Jing waved his hand casually, helped Nongyu up himself, and whispered affectionately in her ear: "Between you and me, there's no need for such formalities."
The hot breath she exhaled as she spoke sprayed onto her delicate earlobes, instantly turning them bright red.
Nongyu felt weak all over and could only let Ying Jing help her sit down on the chair prepared in the hall.
Zi Nu, on the other hand, didn't receive such good treatment.
She had to get up on her own, and she also had to endure Yan Lingji's glaring gaze.
Although Ying Jing and Nong Yu seemed more intimate, Yan Ling Ji could tell at a glance that she was no good!
The innocent type is worthless in the face of her sexiness.
Purple Girl is the real threat!
She can be both powerful and gentle, both alluring and graceful—she's practically the same type as her!
"Miss Zi Nu is following me so worriedly, are you afraid that I will abduct Nong Yu?"
Ying Jing chuckled slightly, but didn't invite Zi Nu to sit down.
However, she didn't stand on ceremony and went to sit down next to Nongyu.
Her purplish eyes gleamed with a captivating light, completely ignoring Yan Lingji's attacking gaze.
Zi Nu said softly, "Changxin-jun has visited Zi Lan Xuan quite often, can't Zi Nu come and be a guest?"
Can this be the same?
Zilanxuan is a place that does business, but this inn is for entertaining envoys from other countries!
However, Ying Jing did not dwell on this issue.
He felt a little ashamed and, after some reflection, realized that he had indeed been going to Zilan Pavilion a lot more often lately.
The main reason is that Nongyu's zither playing is beautiful!
"It's all because of Miss Zi Nu's great charm that I always linger in Zi Lan Pavilion!"
Lord Changxin speaks kind words without hesitation.
Nongyu's expression was somewhat strange, but she held back from speaking, only lowering her head with a hint of grievance.
Obviously...
Changxin-kun clearly said that he often goes there because of her!
Why is what Sister Zi Nu said different now?
Yan Lingji, on the other hand, was not surprised at all.
She had seen through this man!
Unfortunately, I realized it a little too late; I was already on a pirate ship and couldn't get off.
"That's not how Lord Changxin spoke to Nongyu, is it?"
Zi Nu wore a half-smile, half-smile. She was always quick-witted and had naturally noticed Nong Yu's change in mood.
"It's not a conflict."
Ying Jing, on the contrary, was not guilty at all and spoke with a straight face.
“Nongyu’s gentleness, kindness, and beautiful music often draw me to Zilan Pavilion.”
"But Zi Nu's charm and enthusiasm make me want to stay a little longer in Zi Lan Xuan every time, and I am reluctant to leave."
"Miss Zi Nu, you and Nong Yu both deeply attract me!"
As he finished speaking, he even raised a lewd hand and forcefully grasped Zi Nu's two soft hands in his.
Zi Nu couldn't help but roll her eyes.
A man’s mouth is a liar!
But thinking about it carefully, although this guy is a bit reckless, he doesn't seem to be lying after all.
After all, Lord Changxin was very benevolent!
He probably had his eye on her from the very first time they met, and he had long harbored the intention of taking her and Nongyu down with him!
Zi Nu pulled her hands away from Ying Jing's grasp and glanced at Yan Ling Ji, who was warming tea for Ying Jing with flames. The jade bracelet on her fair wrist seemed to glow.
Unconsciously, she raised her hand and gently stroked the jade bracelet on her fair wrist, a slight smile curving her lips.
