Xue Ning didn't know what was written in this letter, but since Li Yinhong asked her to do it, she chose unconditional trust.

took the letter to the imperial study, and the emperor knew that there was something left by Maya to give him, so he met with Xue Ning.

After not seeing him for a few days, the emperor seemed to be much older: "What did Maya give you?"

Xue Ning curtsied towards the emperor and held up the envelope in his hand: "Back to the emperor, this is what Concubine Ya asked her courtiers to hand over to the emperor." ”

The attendants were all blasted out by the emperor, and the emperor himself walked up to her and took the envelope. After reading the letter, the emperor was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "What did Maya say to you?"

Niangniang didn't say anything to the courtier, she only said that she was a little tired, so she didn't want to continue to hold on. However, before entering the palace, Niangniang had talked a lot to the courtiers. Xue Ning stood still in the hall, keeping his head down.

The emperor sat down on the chair and looked up at her: "What did Maya tell you?"

Maya said that she came all the way to enter the harem in order to ensure a peaceful life for the people of the two countries. The people of the two countries have been through war for too long, and it is not easy to get such a peaceful life, and Maya hopes that it will continue like this. ”

Hearing Xue Ning say this, the emperor pursed his lips and showed a smile: "I'm old, but it's the first time that someone has been so sincere to me." It's a pity that I didn't protect her. ”

"It's not the emperor's fault, now that Maya has passed away, the emperor still has a lot of things that can help her. Xue Ning raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of eagerness.

The emperor understood what Xue Ning was talking about, and nodded: "You go back to the Guogong Mansion, you will stay in the Guogong Mansion these days, and you will not be allowed to leave the mansion within a month." ”

Listening to the emperor's meaning, he wanted to confine Xue Ning in the Guogong Mansion. Xue Ning was a little puzzled, but he still didn't say anything, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, and left the palace.

The news that Xue Ning was grounded in the Guogong Mansion by the emperor soon spread. Everyone only said that this Xue Ning was bold and reckless and talked nonsense in front of hundreds of officials, so he was grounded by the emperor.

When these news spread, Xue Ning had already returned to the Guogong Mansion and was sitting in his courtyard, fiddling with the remaining notebooks that had not been finished fiddling with before.

When Song Hong came in, he saw her with her head down, looking through the script seriously. Seeing her so calm, Song Hong was also a little relieved, and sat down opposite her: "Being grounded, I don't feel wronged at all." ”

Song Hong suddenly spoke, startling Xue Ning, and the words in his hand fell to the ground: "Brother, why are you walking without a sound." ”

Lowering his head and picking up the script, Xue Ning wiped it and put it aside: "This is the emperor's order, where do I dare to say anything?"

"When did you become so well-behaved? I thought you weren't afraid of the Emperor's Order. Looking at Xue Ning's appearance, Song Hong smiled helplessly.

Xue Ning pursed his mouth, picked up the teacup, and took a sip: "I think what the emperor said is not bad, I did scold the hundred officials, and I should be punished a little." It's just that I think those officials must be speaking ill of me behind my back, and I feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"Those officials are officials in the court, and they rely on a mouth. Even in the face of the emperor, they will not have the slightest restraint. It's good for you to point your nose in front of so many people and give people a scolding scolding. You say, 'What should people say about you?'

When Xue Ning heard this, he stuck out his tongue: "Brother, what you said is too exaggerated." I did say a few unpleasant words, and I didn't point my nose and scold such an exaggeration. ”

"What, do you really want to point your nose and scold them?" Looking at Xue Ning's appearance, Song Hong shook his head helplessly.

Xue Ning thought for a while and nodded: "If there is a chance, I really hope to give them a scolding." ”

"You still scolded!" Song Hong heard this, and stretched out his hand to hit Xue Ning's head, "This time it was the emperor who protected you and grounded you first." Otherwise, how will those officials punish you?"

Xue Ning was in pain and touched his head: "Brother, I just think that they disturbed Maya's afterlife, so I can't help but argue with them for a few words." ”

"You're too impulsive in this matter. Even if Maya was really forced to death by these officials, you can't say it. Maya died of a sudden illness, and it had nothing to do with poison and officials. ”

The princess who was close to her died suddenly, and the feudal kingdom could naturally use this to ask for an explanation, and might even start a war because of this.

For the sake of the people and the fulfillment of Maya's wishes, the emperor did not want to start a war. Therefore, everyone claims to the outside world that Maya died suddenly because of a sudden illness.

These things were also instructed by someone with Xue Ning in advance, asking her not to tell the truth. But at that time, Xue Ning was really angry with those officials, so he couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Brother, I know I did something wrong, I was too impulsive, I'm sorry. Xue Ning pursed his lips, restrained the smile on his face, and sighed lightly, "It's good that I've been here for a month now." ”

Song Hong was originally worried that Xue Ning would be unhappy because of being grounded, so he came here to comfort her. But seeing Xue Ning like this now, he was also relieved: "Grandmother instructed me to invite you a master who plays the piano to come back, and within this month, teach you to play the piano." ”

"Playing the piano?" Xue Ning frowned slightly when he heard this, "But my piano is already playing very well." ”

"There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, you are indeed playing the piano well now, but there are still areas for improvement. Grandmother's meaning is to let you think more about this matter. ”

Xue Ning pursed his lips and nodded: "Anyway, I've been idle for a month, and I will study more in the future." ”

On the first day of being grounded, Xue Ning sat in the courtyard, fiddling with the notebook until it was dark, and then returned to the house. Back in the house, she sat on the soft couch, also until late at night.

Xue Ning didn't know what he was waiting for, but he clearly knew what he was waiting for. But late at night, the person she was waiting for still didn't come.

She sighed, stood up, washed up, and fell asleep.

The emperor grounded her, Xue Ning understood that it was more to protect her, and she didn't feel that there would be many grievances. But Xue Ning still wanted to see him, and wanted to tell him that he had sent the letter to the emperor and persuaded the emperor to let go of the feudal country.

I also wanted to tell him that he was grounded, although he felt that the emperor had done the right thing, but he still couldn't help but feel wronged. It's a pity that that person never appeared, and Xue Ning never had a chance to say what he wanted to say in his heart, so he could only take these words and fall asleep deeply.
