Chapter 174: Blood
"No matter what the result is, I want you to uproot the remnants of the Jin Palace!"
When Ning Yi came out of the imperial study, the words that the emperor had just said echoed in his mind, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his thin lips outlined an extremely cold smile.
Several ministers waiting to be summoned outside Hou's study were arguing about the flight of the displaced people from Daji Kingdom.
“...... The border has finally been stable for a few years, and we shouldn't care about the affairs of Daji Country, close the city gate and refuse to leave, and those homeless people love to make trouble!"
"What do you mean that this is the business of Daji Country? That boundary originally belonged to our Hua Kingdom! Those displaced people were originally also the people of our Hua Kingdom! How can you not care about it!"
"Hey, it's so cold this winter, if you really don't care, I'm afraid a lot of people will die!"
"Anyway, you don't know what kind of virtue the people of Daji Country are? Today we are in charge of the affairs of the displaced people, and tomorrow they will be able to use this excuse to fight over! Isn't this nothing to look for? Have you ever thought about how many people will be displaced at the beginning of the war?"
"I heard that Lou Feng's body is not as good as a year, and he can't survive many days, and now the relationship between the royal family of Daji Kingdom and the Lou family is also a little delicate, and they are afraid that they can't care about starting a war with us now, right?"
......
Several ministers were arguing fiercely, when they suddenly saw Ning Yi walking out of the imperial study, the scene suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
A minister who was not accustomed to Ning Yi glanced at him from the corner of his eye, snorted disdainfully, and muttered in a low voice: "The traitor is in charge!
Ning Yi originally planned to leave without squinting. When he heard this, he paused in his footsteps and looked at the minister who had spoken.
The other minister tugged at the sleeve of the minister who was speaking, and motioned for him to say less.
Everyone knows that the emperor is now reusing Ning Yi, and the power in Ning Yi's hands is not small. When some officials with slightly lower positions saw him, they had to respectfully shout "Lord Ning."
The minister who spoke up was annoyed, and waved away the hand of the person who reminded him, and his voice became two points louder: "What are you pulling me to do? Am I wrong? As a courtier, you should speak up and admonish the king, and let this kind of clown accompany the king and turn a blind eye, which is a shame for the courtier!"
No, Ning Yi heard this, but suddenly walked towards the place where the ministers were standing.
Ning Yi's appearance was a little feminine, but when he walked over step by step, those civil officials invariably felt the oppressive force. Others couldn't help but quietly take a step back.
Ning Yi stood in front of the sarcastic official. glanced at his official uniform, and then glanced at his face: "Lord Wang, the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Seeing that Ning Yi had accurately called out his name, Lord Wang snorted coldly and turned his head, looking ashamed to be with him.
Ning Yi smiled slightly, although his smile was cold, it still made several ministers stunned for a moment.
"I have heard that Lord Wang, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate, is upright and honest. See you today. Sure enough, it lives up to its name. Although Ning Yi's words were compliments. The tone was also very soft, but for some reason, several onlookers felt a little cold in their hearts. Only Lord Wang himself was a little proud when he heard it.
"I heard that the two-entry courtyard in Jinhuan Lane in the west of the city is Ling Lang's private property?" As soon as Ning Yi's words fell, this Wang Yushi's face suddenly changed for some reason.
The other ministers looked at each other, wondering what kind of dumb riddle these two were playing.
Ning Yi looked at Wang Yushi's gaze as if he was looking at a disgusting rat in the stinky ditch: "A few days ago, a thirteen-year-old girl died quietly in that house. If you really don't want to be a disgrace to your majesty's courtiers, you should tie up your only son and send him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to wait for his fate. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people present couldn't help but look at Wang Yushi with a shocked face.
Wang Yushi's face turned pale, and he looked at Ning Yi's eyes full of fear: "You, you ......"
Ning Yi didn't even want to look at him again, and walked away.
Wang Yushi fainted in a hurry, and Ning Yi didn't reply.
No minister wants to stand on his head as a chamberlain, but few people in the Manchu Dynasty dare to offend Ning Yi at will, because a few years is enough time for people to recognize what kind of person Ning Yi is not easy to mess with. He will repay him, and those who offend him do not end up well.
Ning Yi originally planned to go out of the palace, he has not given up looking for Yang Chengjie in the past few years, but even if his "eagle eyes" are all over the land of Gyeonggi now, he has not received any news from Yang Chengjie, and today his subordinates reported that there was a person who had seen a child similar to Yang Chengjie a few years ago, and he was called to the court by the emperor just as he was about to leave the palace.
However, Ning Yi didn't have time to leave the palace before he was stopped by the palace maid of the Lingxi Pavilion of Qingxi Palace.
"Lord Ning, the princess is invited. The palace maid didn't dare to look at Ning Yi, lowered her head, and if she listened carefully, she would find that her voice was a little trembling.
Since the last bloody "big purge" against the inner palace, the palace maids and eunuchs and even the imperial guards have not been upset when they see Ning Yi.
Ning Yi paused, stood in place and was silent for a moment, and finally turned around and walked in the direction of Qingxi Palace.
The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for Ning Yi to walk away before she dared to raise her head and catch up.
Princess Huyang has now become a slim and delicate girl, four years is enough to change a lot of things, but Princess Huyang is still innocent.
When Ning Yi walked outside the Lingxi Pavilion, he heard the cheerful laughter of Princess Huyang, who was holding a little white fat dog playing in the courtyard of the vestibule. She was wearing a thick white fox fur cape, and the thick wind fur of the cloak wrapped her palm-sized little face, and she squatted with the somewhat fat puppy, which made people want to smile at the sight.
Ning Yi walked over with an indifferent face.
Princess Huyang looked up and saw Ning Yi, her eyes immediately rippled with a happy smile, she threw down the puppy, got up and ran towards Ning Yi, and coquettishly said to Ning Yi in a nasal voice: "This dog is so stupid, it urinated on my soft couch again this morning! I don't want it anymore!"
Ning Yi nodded when he heard this, and said unconcernedly: "I'll change it for you." ”
Princess Huyang stomped her foot again dissatisfied: "Oh! I'm talking about playing! This is something you specially found and gave it to me, so I don't want to change it!"
Ning Yi had already been accustomed to Princess Huyang's words, and when she heard this, she just nodded and didn't say anything more.
Princess Huyang immediately changed her smile and leaned closer: "Are you done with your errand? Is it okay to stay and write with me today? On my father's birthday, I promised to write 10,000 birthday characters for him." ”
Ning Yi avoided it backwards: "I have something to do when I leave the palace......"
It's just that Ning Yi's words haven't finished yet, he frowned, and his hand unconsciously put it on his heart.
Princess Huyang immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ning Yi's hand, and said worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Is your heart hurting again? Let's find a doctor to take a look." ”
Ning Yi closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, and when he opened his eyes again, the pain just now seemed to have disappeared, he raised his hand to remove Princess Huyang's hand, but at a glance he saw the scar on her wrist that looked like a piercing scar, Ning Yi's movements couldn't help but be stunned.
Princess Huyang noticed his gaze, and also glanced down at her wrist, and then subconsciously pulled her sleeve to block the somewhat ugly scar.
Ning Yi fell silent, lowering his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
Princess Huyang thought that Ning Yi was guilty, and immediately smiled and said: "I rub the ointment every day, and the imperial doctor said that in a few years, the scars will fade and slowly disappear." ”
Speaking of this, Princess Huyang seemed a little embarrassed, she looked around, and saw that the palace maids were standing far away, so she whispered in a somewhat shy voice: "It's already gone." ”
After a pause, she said in a smaller voice: "It's my own will, don't, don't take it to heart,"
Ning Yi looked at Princess Huyang's gaze a little complicated, and he remembered what happened four years ago.
At that time, he was facing a choice when he got He Linwan's medicine, and Princess Huyang's entanglement made him even more disgusted.
When she stopped him again, he said, "You better come back and be nice to me, I can give you everything you want." He took out a dagger and threw it to her.
"I want a few bowls of blood from you, and you're willing?"
Princess Huyang was a little confused: "Ah, what do you want my blood for?"
Ning Yi said casually: "Heal." ”
Princess Huyang was speechless in surprise. Ning Yi didn't look at her again, turned around and left.
Ning Yi originally thought that this matter would be over, and the princess was so scared that she would not bother him for a while, but he didn't expect that she would come to him the next day and cut her wrist in front of him.
She was so scared that she didn't even dare to open her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I have asked the imperial doctor, it turns out that some powerful home remedies really need human blood as medicine, and my blood will be used for you to treat the disease." ”
Ning Yi was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and asked, "Aren't you afraid of pain?"
Princess Huyang sobbed and said, "I, I just ate the hemp boiling." No, it doesn't hurt......"
......
"If you don't stay with me, then give me a gift, okay?" Princess Huyang looked at Ning Yidao with a blank eye.
Ning Yi came back to his senses, and his chin was slightly lowered. Princess Huyang was happy again.
Ning Yi didn't stay too long before leaving, Princess Huyang hugged the puppy, looked at his back and smiled brightly, looking carefree.
Princess Huyang's eldest palace maid saw that the wind was blowing outside, so she came over to persuade her to enter the house.
Seeing that the princess's gaze still refused to retract, the palace maid couldn't help but be worried: "Princess, don't get too close to Lord Ning." (To be continued.) )
