The clay figurine raised its head from Ning Cheng's arms and looked at Ning Cheng pitifully.
Ning Hui escaped on a heavy rain day. Pingcheng is today's Datong. In northern Shanxi, although it is not a sandy land, it is a yellow land. He stumbled and rolled all over in yellow mud. But it was good, no one recognized him. , but Wei Guo couldn’t care about him at this time.
This filthy body, coupled with the fact that Ning Xi was not well fed in the army, after escaping, he begged all the way and had nothing to eat. He was completely thin and out of shape. His face was sallow and skinny, and he was no better than in the autumn wind. How strong are the yellow leaves?
Ning Cheng looked at him for a long time and said uncertainly:
"Ning Xi?"
Ning Xi nodded:
"Uncle Emperor, it's me."
As he spoke, he let go of Ning Cheng with one hand and wiped the mud from his face.
Because he had cried, the mud on his face had been soaked soft. After being pulled by him, Ning Cheng finally saw something like Ning Hui and grabbed his shoulders:
"You are back safely. Brother and sister-in-law are worried about you. Father and mother are still looking for you in Wei State."
After hearing this, Ning Xi burst into tears again.
Ning Cheng hurriedly said:
"Don't cry, don't cry, just come back," he said to Xin Wei, "Boil some bath water and let Yue'er and her siblings make some food."
Xin didn't respond and ran away, calling out to Wu Tiedan, Hou Mo, Chen Chong, Jiazi and Ding Mao who were on duty today.
Ning Xi took a comfortable bath, went to the living room and saw a few dishes. Without caring about anything else, he sat down, grabbed the steamed buns and started eating.
Ning Cheng sat aside and said:
"Eat slowly," she pushed the dish in front of him, "I know you haven't eaten well all the way, so I don't dare to prepare too much for you. You need to rest your stomach first and prepare it bit by bit."
Ning Xi was too busy to talk and just nodded.
When they were about to finish eating, Concubine Jiang arrived after receiving the news. Seeing Ning Xi like this, Concubine Jiang burst into tears of distress, and mother and son hugged each other and cried again.
Before the mother and son were happy, Eunuch Hao came to announce his decree, demoting Ning Shu to a commoner and leaving the capital immediately.
Everyone was stunned, but Ning Cheng and Ning Hui both accepted it.
After all, Ning Hui instigated a rebellion, and his friends who rebelled with him were all thrown away from the army. If he is not punished, it will not be able to appease people's hearts. Although the families of those friends have severed ties with them, However, blood ties cannot be broken off easily. On the surface, these people dare not say anything. In their hearts, they must be holding their breath, and they may be holding back their anger someday.
Therefore, Ning Hui could not escape his punishment. If he did not behead him, Ning Yan would have shown mercy.
But, Jiang Jie quit, and her son suffered so much outside, and as soon as the front foot came back, the back foot was driven away, is he still a father?
He immediately grabbed the hem of his skirt and returned to the palace to talk to Ning Yan.
Eunuch Hao came back one step ahead of Jiang. Ning Hui accepted the order, so Eunuch Hao had to come back quickly to report. Of course, he also told Ning Yan about Ning Hui's appearance.
Jiang Yan came back angrily and found Ning Yan in the study room of the harem. Ning Yan turned around when he heard the noise. Jiang Yan saw Ning Yan's eyes red. All her anger turned into a helpless sigh and she sat quietly. He went to Ning Yan and held his hand.
Ning Yan asked a little choked:
"How's it going?"
Jiang Yan said calmly:
"Cheng asked him to take a bath, put on clean clothes, and eat."
Ning Yan hummed, lowered his head and said no more, but the hand held by Jiang Yan kept trembling.
Jiang Yan sighed secretly, hugged Ning Yan, and patted his back again and again. Ning Yan cried like a child in Jiang Yan's arms.
Ning Yu and Xun were in Wei State. When they learned that Ning Xi had returned, they wanted Tuoba Jun to say goodbye.
In fact, when Ning Yu and Xun were looking for Ning Hui, Tuoba Jun also sent people to look for him. However, they wanted to use Ning Hui as a hostage to better control the Kunyu Kingdom. But, unfortunately, Ning Hui first They returned to Kunyu Kingdom in one step and missed such a good hostage. Tuoba Jun and others were secretly beating their chests and beating their chests, but publicly, they had to congratulate Ning Yu, pay tribute to them, and then reluctantly let them go.
They didn't dare to let go. King Yi, the god of war from Kunyu Kingdom, and the black-faced Master Zhuo all came, and they brought two thousand troops with them. Although there were only two thousand men, the momentum they showed when they attacked Zong Ai was enough to shock them. , the royal family of Wei is not stable now, and troubles cannot occur again at this time.
I was crying and scolding in my heart, but I had to send the group away with kind words on my face.
The two returned to the mansion and listened to Ning Cheng's story. Although they were demoted to common people, they were safe in the Kunyu Kingdom and were better than in the Wei Kingdom.
After leaving the morning and going home, Yan Xiao Maole stopped the carriage when he was almost at the door.
Wu Tiedan approached the curtain of the car hood and said to Xuan:
"Master Zhuo, he is the second prince."
When Hyun heard it was Ning Xi, she felt excited. She hadn't seen him since she came back, so she didn't know how she was doing.
I stood up to go out, but my hand touched the curtain, and then I thought:
No, this kid not only rebelled but also betrayed the country. Fortunately, he told Tuoba Tao about my identity. If I told him about my identity to other kings, wouldn’t he be causing trouble for Kunyu Kingdom? I can’t forgive him just like that!
Thinking of this, he sat back again and said coldly:
"What second prince! He is a traitor! Go back home!"
Yan Xiaomao and Wu Tiedan looked at each other, and Yan Xiaomao lowered his voice and asked Huan:
"Master Zhuo, you are already at the door."
Hyun coughed awkwardly:
"Then, let's go in through the back door. I won't get off here anyway."
Yan Xiaomao smiled and drove towards the back door.
Hyun slightly lifted the curtain and saw Ning Hui with his head lowered and kneeling on the ground. He was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before and didn't put anyone in his eyes. Hyun sighed and lowered the curtain.
Ning Fang was watering the flowers in the garden. When he saw Hyun coming in from the back door, he asked in confusion:
"Why did you come in through the back door?"
Hyun looked at the front door and said:
"Ning Xi is at the front door."
Ning Fang looked understanding and continued to water the flowers.
Hyun came over to look at him:
"you know?"
Ning Yan nodded:
"Of course, he knelt there for a long time."
Hyun shouted:
"Then why didn't you let him in?"
Ning Yan put down the kettle and asked:
"Then why didn't you let him in?"
Hyun choked, and Ning Yan scratched her nose:
"Let me do what I can't do. I also want him to be punished more and remember his mistakes."
Hyun hugged Ning Yan's waist and rubbed his neck:
"Yes, some mistakes can't be forgiven without saying sorry. I must teach him a lesson this time."
Ning Cheng and Ning Meng also came back through the back door. When they came in and saw Ning Fang and Xuan, they seemed not to know, so they stopped asking.
While eating, Hyun looked outside from time to time. Ning Fang, Ning Cheng, and Ning Meng looked at each other, but ignored Hyun. After eating, Hyun sat restlessly in the room, and stood up from time to time to look in the direction of the front door. He looked at them, and then looked at Ning Fang, Ning Cheng, and Ning Meng as if asking for help, but the three of them pretended not to see them, so they were doing whatever they were supposed to do.
It was getting dark gradually. Hyun stood in the yard and looked out. When he saw Jiazi walking from the front, he pulled him and asked:
"Ning Xi is still kneeling outside?"
Jiazi and Wuchen also asked him to go back, but no matter what, he refused to go back and just knelt there.
Hyun stamped her feet anxiously:
"This guy went to Wei State, he must be stupid!"
When the three people in the room heard Hyun shouting outside, they all came out.
Ning Fang smiled and said:
"Who wants to teach him a lesson? Does this make him feel distressed again?"
Hyun snorted at him:
"You don't feel bad? You usually stay in the study after dinner, or go to Xiaoyi and Jiaer's place. Why are you still here today?"
Ning Yan scratched his face in fear:
"Today, I ate too much today, let's move around."
Hyun snorted.
Ning Meng raised his head and looked at the sky. It was indeed getting late. We couldn't really let Ning Meng kneel down all night.
As he walked out, he said:
"I'll go and persuade him."
Ning Xi heard the door knock and looked up to see it was Ning Meng. He was a little disappointed but also a little hopeful.
Ning Meng brought the food and sat next to him:
"Eat the food first. Only when your stomach is full can you have the strength to carry it with Mr. Zhuo."
Ning Xi looked at Ning Meng pitifully:
"Is Grandma Huang still angry? I really know that I was wrong. Uncle Huang, please help me speak to Grandma Huang."
Ning Meng sighed:
"Hey, it's not all your fault. Just say sorry. Do you know how big of a mistake you made this time?"
Ning Xi nodded:
"I shouldn't have rebelled, and I shouldn't have told others about Grandma Huang's identity."
Ning Meng rubbed his forehead and said:
"I won't talk about the rebellion, but if you tell Master Zhuo's identity, do you know that this will bring a lot of trouble to Kunyu Kingdom? Kunyu Kingdom is stronger than before, but it has not yet reached its destination. The level of concern for Wei and Liu Song cannot be underestimated."
As he spoke, he became a little angry and asked in a bad tone:
"What on earth were you thinking at that time?!"
Ning Xi lowered his head and whispered:
"I just feel that my father and grandma are stopping me from playing. I hate them."
Ning punched him on the shoulder angrily.
Ning Xi came out of the house early in the morning and did not enter the capital until noon. He knelt for so long and had no energy left. He was immediately beaten to the ground by Ning Meng.
He got up hard and said:
"Uncle, don't be angry. I also know that I was too ignorant before. My father always told me that we are a royal family. Even if I am not the prince, I still have to contribute to the Kun Yu Kingdom. At that time, I felt that the Kun Yu Kingdom was so Many people pay attention to me, but one more than me is not more, and one less than me is not less, so I didn’t listen to what my father said at all.”
Sighing, he looked up at the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion:
"When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why you, those gangsters and hooligans on the streets, were always so active when someone was trying to deal with them. At that time, I just followed you because it was fun, but now I understand, as a member of the royal family meaning and responsibility.”
Ning Meng felt better after hearing what he said and put the food in front of him:
"Let's eat first. It's definitely not hot anymore. Don't let it get too cold."
Ning Xi picked up the rice and took a bite. His eyes lit up and he asked Ning Meng in surprise:
"This meal..."
Ning Meng smiled and said:
"Master Zhuo made it."
Ning Xi saw that they were all his favorite foods, and his tears flowed down disobediently.
Ning Meng patted him on the back:
"Atonement is not something that can be done in one sentence or two. We want to see how you behave in the future."
Ning Xi nodded vigorously and ate the food with tears in his eyes. (To be continued)
