Saintess, he is a handsome boy

===================================

Qiao Anran looked Nan Xiuzhu up and down as if nothing seemed to exist, and the corner of his mouth smiled even more. He asked, "What's your name, young master?"

Nan Xiuzhu replied without thinking: "Nan Xiuzhu."

Nan is the surname of Emperor Nanzhao, and Nan Xiuzhu has been in Donglin Kingdom for more than a year. There are rumors that he has a beautiful appearance but a romantic nature and hangs around brothels all day long.Anyone with a little brain can recognize his identity at this moment.

Qiao Anran didn't seem to expect that Nan Xiuzhu would reveal his identity so directly, he was slightly startled, and then knelt down to salute, saying: "So it's His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Nan Xiuzhu raised his hand to stop him from kneeling, and said, "You can just call me Mr. Nan, sit down, there is no need to be formal."

If it was said that Qiao Anran had other thoughts on Nan Xiuzhu just now, but now she absolutely dare not.Ye only felt that when Qiao Anran sat down again, her aura weakened a little, and her smile was no longer so presumptuous.

"Master Nan, does Mr. Nan have a suitable young lady?" Qiao Anran asked.

Nan Xiuzhu shook his head: "No, it's my first time here." He thought for a while, and added: "I'm not very interested in these young men, but there are some things I don't understand, and I think the young men here may know a lot. some."

"However..." Nan Xiuzhu said again: "Since Mr. Qiao is the boss here, he must be well-informed. Why don't I ask you."

Qiao Anran said: "I would like to hear the details."

Emperor Donglin was not in good health after the New Year's Eve, so he handed over some unimportant things to his three sons to take care of.

Luo Ning was immersed in reviewing a pile of paperwork when a young eunuch walked in and whispered something in Luo Ning's ear.

Luo Ning put down the memorial and went out the door. At the corner, he saw a man in navy blue guard uniform waiting there.His name is Qiao Shiwu, and he is Luo Ning's shadow guard.

"What's the matter?" Luo Ning asked.

Qiao Shiwu said: "Qiao Jiu has sent news that Mr. Nan has gone to Qingluan Courtyard. Could it be that he found something and is investigating the truth?"

"What did he do?" Luo Ning frowned.

Qiao Shiwu said: "Young Master Nan didn't stay in Qingluan Courtyard for too long. He seems to have a male favorite, and he's getting angry with him recently. He asked Qiao Jiu some questions about how to make men happy."

Luo Ning's brows furrowed even deeper, and he muttered: "Nan Xiuzhu has a male pet? Why didn't I know? He's so poor, shouldn't he be sent to another hospital?"

Qiao Shiwu said: "It may be hidden in Ruomengfang."

Luo Ning suddenly thought that Nan Xiuzhu cried so sadly on New Year's Eve, could it be because of that male favorite?At that time, Nan Xiuzhu was still going to Ruomengfang to watch the new year, so could it be that he also wanted to accompany that male favorite?

Feeling inexplicably angry, Luo Ning rushed back to the palace to question Nan Xiuzhu without thinking.But he stopped before taking a few steps. He turned around and said to Qiao Shiwu: "Keep watching. If you find the hiding place of the male pet, report it to me immediately."

Luo Ning wanted to see where the monster could fascinate Nan Xiuzhu.

He paused for a moment, then asked again: "Is Shiliu back?"

Qiao Shiwu said: "I just came back, and now I am waiting in the palace."

At the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, two slender and handsome young men were facing each other with swords drawn.

"Okay, you still dare to come back." Ye waved his long sword and pointed it at the person opposite.

"You are so brave, you dare to draw your sword in Prince Ning's mansion." Qiao Shiliu swung his sword to block.

Ye said, "Didn't you have a leg problem and can't be a bodyguard?"

Qiao Shiliu said cheekily: "The leg disease is naturally cured, so I came back to be a bodyguard, why not?"

While the two were asking and answering, the sword in their hands had passed a few strokes.

"Take back your sword, Prince Ning's mansion will not allow you to be presumptuous." Qiao Shiliu said again.

"My master, there is only one person, other than that, it doesn't matter what anyone says." Ye said.

Ye Fei stepped forward, holding the sword in both hands, and slashed directly at the top of Qiao Shiliu's head.Qiao Shiliu swung his sword with one hand and easily blocked it.

Nan Xiuzhu stood in the courtyard and looked at it for a while, then said, "Ye, that's enough."

Sure enough, Ye stopped immediately and gave Qiao Shiliu a look before leaving.

When the two returned to the courtyard, Nan Xiuzhu said: "It seems that you are really not his opponent."

Ye clenched his fists unconvinced, but he had to admit that what Nan Xiuzhu said was true.

It was night, when Luo Ning returned to the mansion, he saw Nan Xiuzhu sitting in the Buddhist hall and chanting scriptures.He did it neatly, holding the scriptures in one hand, and spinning the prayer beads in the other.

Luo Ning rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and walked in after confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Nan Xiuzhu.

He asked, "What are you...doing?"

Nan Xiuzhu stopped turning the Buddha beads, his eyes were deep, he looked at Luo Ning seriously, and said, "Enlightenment of Buddhism."

People who talk about smelly monks all day long, how come they suddenly fell in love with worshiping Buddha?Luo Ning couldn't believe it no matter what.Strange, too strange.

"How about I copy scriptures with you later?" Nan Xiuzhu asked.

Luo Ning nodded mechanically, got up and left.Behind him, Nan Xiuzhu began to recite sutras tirelessly again.

After dinner was ten, Luo Ning called Qiao Shiliu and asked, "When did he enter the Buddhist hall? What did he do?"

Qiao Shiliu said, "It's been a whole afternoon. As you can see, I'm just chanting scriptures and not doing anything else."

Now Luo Ning was even more confused.

"The ancestor has some orders." Qiao Shiliu lowered his voice.

"What's the matter?" Luo Ning asked.

Qiao Shiliu took out a rectangular ebony lacquer box from his pocket, opened the lid, and a sharp black dagger was placed inside.There was also a small blue and white porcelain bottle next to it. When it was opened, it was some colorless and transparent liquid.

"What is it?" Luo Ning asked again.

"The dark iron dagger and the poison of hook kiss." Qiao Shiliu said.

Luo Ning suddenly opened his eyes wide. He seemed to have seen these two things at his mother's place when he was young, but he didn't know what they were for. When he grew up, he realized that they were used to "catch ghosts".

"So... is this asking me to do it?" Luo Ning took out the black iron dagger and fiddled with it in his hand.

Qiao Shiliu nodded, and continued: "This time I was only suspicious, but the ancestor told me that I would rather kill by mistake than let it go, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Luo Ning put the black iron dagger back into the box and closed the lid, and asked, "Where is the man?"

Qiao Shiliu said: "My lord...Actually..." He hesitated to speak.

"Huh?" Luo Ning looked up at him, "What? Seems like an acquaintance?"

Qiao Shiliu nodded: "It's Nan Xiuzhu."

Luo Ning's hand on the box froze immediately, and asked, "Why him? Is it just a suspicion? What evidence is there?"

It turned out that the old ancestor arranged for the poisoning of Nan Xiuzhu at the wonton stall in Huancheng last time.The so-called "ghosts" she wants to kill are immortal and invulnerable to all poisons.However, Nanxiu Zhu's body was extremely poisonous with the fog grass from the southern border, and he didn't react at all.

Luo Ning frowned: "But the imperial physician also said that Nan Xiuzhu's body is a little different from ordinary people. It may happen that he is immune to this kind of poison. Anyway, he was born in southern Xinjiang."

Qiao Shiliu was a little embarrassed: "But... this is the order of the ancestor."
