Chapter 37
When he returned to Anyang Palace, Chen Ning asked Bai Zhi to clean up and prepare to leave the palace. Hua Nongying felt depressed and left the servant, "Madam, do you really want to leave me and go back to Yunzhou?"
"Xiaohua, I have no reason to stay in Changyang."
Hua Nongying blinked, and tears immediately filled her eyes, "Sister is gone, you are leaving too. I really don't know what to do if I leave me alone in this palace."
Chen Ning sighed and reached out to hug her, "Don't cry, Xiaohua, there is no banquet that will last forever, you must be strong alone." Didn't she come step by step? Now she can calm down even when she is assassinated.
"Madam, are you so heartless? In order to take care of you, I tried every means to ask Your Majesty to allow you to enter the palace. However, before you recovered from your illness, you were already thinking about abandoning me."
Chen Ning was surprised. She didn't expect her to use this as a favor. In her consciousness, she did not regard this as a favor debt, because she felt that she had no need to be so disgusted with the two sisters of the Hua family. Who knew that Hua Nongying didn't think so.
But she couldn't figure it out. Choosing to be like a body was Hua Nongying's own choice. She said so firmly at the beginning. She thought she had already realized something, but who knew that she would still rely on people in the end. She shook her head and said, "I'm not a flying centipede. Where did I have such great skills? I really can't get involved in this matter. And don't worry, I think His Majesty the Emperor has also made up his mind to rehabilitate the Hua family. You can just be his concubine." In fact, she saw that Hua Nongying's desire to cherish the emperor was greater than her desire to rehabilitate the Hua family, and she couldn't bear to point it out. After all, she was just a girl in her youth.
"But Madam..." Hua Nongying didn't expect that such a big wife would say she would not repay her. Didn't she always value love and friendship?
Chen Ning made up her mind. She inexplicably predicted that the emperor had already made a plan. Xiaohua was probably just the bait he threw out. But this was Xiaohua's own choice, and she herself must be responsible for the future.
"Xiaohua, you should be careful in the palace. If you can not offend others, you should not offend others. If the emperor loves you, you should be gentle and respectful. Do you know?" Chen Ning touched Hua Nongying's beautiful face, and said that.
After less than an hour, Chen Ning left the palace. She asked Bai Zhi to order the eunuch who sent her out, looked back at the towering palace wall, and sighed softly.
Li Zixuan rushed over after receiving the news, and was already waiting outside the palace. Seeing her coming out, he hurriedly asked the newly bought girl Xiaolian to come forward and support Chen Ning with Bai Zhi. He looked at her slightly pale and thin cheeks carefully, and then asked for a while: "But is it great?"
"Yeah!" Chen Ning nodded with a smile, "The imperial physician is really amazing. He even gave me a bottle of ointment, saying that he had applied it and didn't even have a scar."
Li Zixuan looked at her sideways. The scene of her fainting on the bed that night was still vivid in her mind. If Han Zhen hadn't helped her use her skills to force her to poison her, she would have...
Back at the official store, Li Zixuan asked the doctor to take the pulse for Chen Ning. After confirming that it was not hindered, he asked the servant to send the doctor out. Then he left the idle people and said to Chen Ning: "Changyang is not a place to stay for a long time. If your body can stand it, we will set off tomorrow to return to Yunzhou."
Chen Ning also wanted to leave earlier, but he didn't expect that he was so urgent and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"
Li Zixuan frowned and lowered his voice, "The one who came to kill you that day was not the two little thieves, but the people from Prince Cheng's mansion."
"What!" Chen Ning was shocked. Dong Jingchen wanted to kill her. Why? "How did you know?"
"That night, I searched the assassin's body before the government came and found a token in his arms. I remembered the lines and planned to send someone to find him the next day. Then I asked the beggars on the street to follow the people in the yamen. I found that the official family investigating the matter had entered Prince Cheng's mansion. After I compared the token, I found out the truth. Who knew that the yamen sent people to say that the next day it was two little thieves who did it." Li Zixuan was angry. Prince Cheng was domineering and no one dared to care.
Chen Ning also frowned. Could it be because he knew that she had found two princes in Yunzhou that were going to kill someone to silence him? Or was he afraid that his emperor brother would know that he had left the yamen privately? Is she going to die because of this?
It seems that the emperor knows it too, so he doesn't ask in detail.
Damn royal relatives!
"I'll leave tomorrow." She didn't want to die unjustly.
Li Zixuan nodded and stood up to explain, but was stopped by Chen Ning, "Where is Han Zhen?"
Li Zixuan then remembered that there was still such an important thing and didn't tell her. He sat down again, "Brother Han had received news that the Hua family case was related to the Wei Mansion, so he rushed to Changyang that day and wanted to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion at night. Who knew that two masked people were full of murderous aura and felt strange and followed them all the way. When they saw the two sneaked into the wing room of the official store, they heard a woman calling and realized that it was you who saved it! He was afraid that the night-long walkers would attract doubts, so he lit up your acupoint and left. After taking off his black clothes and mixing into the crowd to meet me, he realized that you were poisoned, so he immediately used your skills to force the poison to save your life."
Chen Ning was stunned when he heard this. Han Zhen was indeed her lucky star!
"I saw Brother Han a few days later, but I heard that I was going to travel far."
"Impossible!" Chen Ning blurted out. Han Zhen designated that Hua Poyue had settled and came to Changyang for the matter of Hua Mansion. It was impossible for him to leave just by saying that.
"Of course I know the weirdness, but Brother Han kept silent and said goodbye to me and left."
"Did he say where to go?"
"Just say it's going north."
"North?" Go back to Yunzhou? It makes no sense. Chen Ning frowned.
"I looked back and thought for a long time. I know that Brother Han is a human being. He is a knight of today and one of the best people in the world. Who would make him silent again? And leaving the matter of the Hua Mansion alone is definitely not his style, unless..."
"I was caught by someone." Chen Ning immediately thought of Han Zhen's weakness besides Hua Poyue? But Hua Poyue was hidden by him, and the only one who could threaten him without seeing him... "Is that one?" She never heard him ask about Hua Nongying's sister, and she thought she had already escaped, but she didn't expect...
"It should be that □□ is inseparable from ten." Li Zixuan nodded seriously.
"He wants Han Zhen..." Chen Ning suddenly remembered Han Zhen that Huang Ling had told her that Huang Ling intended to recruit him to become an official in the North Korea, and combined with the current situation... "Does he want him to go to the battlefield?" The court was at the time of employment. Isn't Han Zhen, a martial arts hero who is both literary and martial, an excellent pawn?
"I'm afraid that's the case," Li Zixuan lowered his voice, "I guess Brother Han compromised, I'm afraid he had exchanged conditions with others." He took the Qingyuan of Hua Mansion and Hua Poyue's life as a leader and charged in the battle.
The snake beats seven inches... and it didn't cost even a tael of silver. The emperor asked a generation of martial arts hero to be a ox and a horse. He was such a sinister, cunning and shameless person. Chen Ning secretly grinds his teeth.
"But in this case, you don't have to worry too much about Concubine Jie." Li Zixuan said again.
Chen Ning was silent for a moment, but he still discussed with him some silver notes to send to the palace for the flowers to make shadows. No matter which dynasty, it is always easy to do with money.
Li Zixuan is very good at doing things. When the day falls, he has already done everything and asked someone to send the silver notes to the palace.
As soon as the next five o'clock the next day, You Zhiyuan, who had been promoted to a bachelor's degree from the fourth-rank Hanlin Academy, hurried to see him off. Chen Ning learned the news and hurriedly got up and changed his clothes. He saw You Zhiyuan ask the servant to hand over a package to Li Zixuan, "There are some dry food here, and the second young master and his sister-in-law are on the way."
Li Zixuan bowed and said, "Mr. You are worried, and the people are grateful."
Chen Ning smiled and called out, "Master You."
You Zhiyuan turned his head away, and looked at Chen Ning standing in front of the curtain with a smile on his face in the candlelight.
"Mr. You haven't seen each other for many days. How good is the new official taking office?"
"Okay, okay." You Zhiyuan nodded and asked immediately, "Madam Li, I heard that you were plotted against by a villain. Now, can you be greatly cured?" When he learned the news, Chen Ning had been taken into the palace. Even if he was anxious, he could not find out. When he returned to the mansion yesterday, he heard the butler report Li Zixuan's words of departure, and he rushed here early this morning.
"It's okay, by the way, have you sent someone to pick up your sister-in-law?"
"I have sent someone a few days ago..."
"Then maybe we and my sister-in-law can meet each other on the road." Chen Ning smiled, without any sadness in parting.
You Zhiyuan was quite sad, but he wanted to speak but stopped. At this time, a servant was urging him outside. He felt depressed and said again, "Madam Li, the second son, this farewell is a farewell. You two Wan Wei take care of him, but I want to see you again in the future."
The servant presented three glasses of water and wine, and each of them held a glass of it.
"Take care." You Zhiyuan raised his glass and took it first to respect him.
"Take care." Chen Ning and Li Zixuan held the cup in both hands and drank it all in one go.
************
Emperor Guangde knew that Chen Ning had returned to Yunzhou half a month later. On that day, he had a morning day and had nothing to do. He leaned on the bright yellow couch and had no time to read. While asking Lianyan to rub his shoulders, Wanfu called Chen Ning to play chess. He thought that after so many days, her injuries should be healed.
Wanfu already knew about Chen Ning, but Dong Yuheng didn't ask, nor did he say it. When the emperor asked, he replied: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Yan returned to Yunzhou earlier."
Dong Yuheng paused, his face had no expression on his face, and his black eyes slowly looked at Wanfu with his head down. Although he didn't say anything, Lan Yan behind him had some hairs standing tall, afraid that someone would suffer.
Wanfu was also shocked by this invisible danger. He thought that His Majesty had ignored all these days and had frequent good news in the harem. He was afraid that his feelings for Mrs. Li had passed away, and this matter had been left behind. Unexpectedly, he heard that she had returned to her hometown was so angry.
He carefully considered the words, "I heard that it was Mrs. Yan who moved her husband to the grave and set up a coffin. She asked the Empress to return to Yunzhou because she was sympathetic to her husband's friendship and allowed her to return home."
"Why no one came to report it?" Dong Yuheng said coldly.
"When you go back to Your Majesty, the Empress saw that His Majesty was working hard all day long and could not bear to bother the Holy Lord for trivial matters, so she never came to report it." In theory, Chen Ning only needed the instructions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even the Empress did not need to disturb the Queen, let alone report it to the Holy Lord. Wan Fu paused and added, "On the day of his departure, Mrs. Yan kowtowed to the north of Anyang Palace to thank her for her kindness."
The emperor couldn't find out the matter, and the emperor felt a stream of evil fire running around. He believed that he didn't need to be angry, but he just felt unhappy in his heart, as if there was a thin rope inside his body, and he would feel fine and densely unwell when he pulled it.
The palace maid who was so angry that he didn't dare to come out heard the sound of nature, "Call a chess servant."
"yes."
Not long after, the chess attendant who had shifted to the chess game came. Dong Yuheng didn't say anything. The slender fingers fell and the game started. The hall was silent. The chess attendant thought about the chess moves and carefully raised his eyes to secretly look at Longyan. His Majesty seemed unhappy today. Should he lose as soon as possible to please His Majesty?
Unexpectedly, before he could think about it, the emperor snorted coldly, threw away the chess piece in his hand impatiently, and then waved his robe and strode away.
The chess servant was so scared that he was so careful that he raised his throat, and quickly knelt down with the palace maids to deliver the car.
