Chapter 33: The Court

The voice of the gentle drop broke the silence in the room, and the pear blossoms looked like rain, making the heart more gorgeous. Stomping in front of Xinyu, Nie Ying opened his hands, but suddenly he was stunned, and then took a step back.

Regarding Nie Ying's actions, the heart that lowered his head naturally did not notice. The wry smile that stayed at the corner of his mouth was instantly hidden by Nie Ying, and then quickly changed to a flat expression: "Fait accompli, there is no need to look back, life has to pass." ”

Xinyu raised his head, and when he saw it, it was Nie Ying's face that still didn't care and always had a bad smile, quickly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes. She has read countless people, but she can't see through Nie Ying at all at this time. No one would laugh at such a thing.

When he first entered the door, Xinyu also saw a trace of hesitation from the depths of Nie Ying's eyes. But when he sees himself grieving, the other party immediately hides this emotion. If it was deliberately done because he didn't want to make himself uncomfortable, then he wouldn't be as calm as Nie Ying is now, and there is not a drop of sand left in his eyes.

This is the emotion that can be expressed by completely letting go!

"Nie Ying, for me, the price you paid is too great... The words stopped abruptly, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on the pretty face: "You are right, there is no need to sigh about the past, the days ahead are still very long, and we have the opportunity to understand each other." ”

"Whew... Spit out a mouthful of air, Nie Ying said with a bitter face: "Got it, Your Majesty the Empress!"

Suddenly, the flowers were in full bloom, and the cold in the middle of the sky fled without a trace because of the coquettish smile of the heart.

Seeing that the other party returned to composure, the only trace of the past in his heart really passed. Nie Ying said lightly: "If the Duan Gongzi I heard in the inn is the Duan Mansion where I am located, then you have to be careful." In the Duan Mansion, there are dozens of powerhouses above the Yellow Level Five Leaves, and these are just the forces on the surface, and he is secretly in power. It's a pity that I didn't know it was related to you before, so I never checked it. ”

Listening to Nie Ying's words, Xinyu felt a little warmer in his heart irrepressibly. Nie Ying's intelligence is very useful, if he doesn't, then the trip to the imperial tomb is bound to be chaotic. However, Xinyu would rather Nie Ying be the same as before and not discover his identity, then there would be no today's disaster.

"Your task now is to do your best to take care of your body, and then you want to do it*. The next words, Xinyu didn't dare to say it, Nie Ying is strong now, to be honest, Xinyu still doesn't fully believe it, so try to avoid these sensitive topics as much as possible.

"Hehe, I know, Your Majesty the Empress!" Nie Ying laughed, "The first time you entered the palace, as the master, do you want to take me on a tour?" I'm afraid that in the world, Nie Ying is the only one who dares to speak in this tone and heart.

"When your injuries are completely healed, in the palace, I will accompany you if you want to go there. As he said this, a flush suddenly appeared on his extremely beautiful face.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little weird, and the hands of the two of them were unnaturally unsure of how to put them. When the four eyes occasionally collide, they can see a trace of fire from each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wenping asks to see you!" A crisp palace maid's voice woke up the two.

After thinking for a moment, he muttered in his heart: "Should I listen to how this old guy explains?" and then snorted coldly: "Let him wait in the court, I will come soon." ”

"I?" Nie Ying suddenly laughed strangely, and continued, "I'll go with you." The words were abrupt, but Xinyu didn't see Nie Ying's smile that flashed quickly.

"You're going too?"

Nie Ying nodded, and said with a light smile: "I also want to see, what does the main culprit who sent someone to hunt me down look like? When the time comes, when I want to kill him, I won't recognize the wrong person." However, he had no cultivation, and when he said this murderous sentence, he was still quite powerful.

"Okay, come with me. As he spoke softly, the door opened softly, and he took the lead and walked out.

"Are you going like that?"

Listening to the strange question asked by Nie Ying, he smiled in his heart: "There are not so many rules, you want to see me wear the imperial robe, and there will be opportunities in the future!"

The cool cold wind blew on Nie Ying's body, and he seemed to have no cultivation, and at this time, he also felt the power of the cold. He shrugged the clothes on his body slightly, and his eyes swept towards the huge palace.

After seeing the magnificence of the Forbidden City, I can't help but feel slammed by this palace. As far as the eye could see, the large and small palaces were next to each other, and every five meters, there was a soldier with a cold and solemn sword in his hand. The yellow glazed tiles glow golden in the sun, and the vermilion walls give rise to a sense of oppression for no reason.

Nie Ying laughed softly: "I'm afraid that living here for a long time will make people wooden." Only he heard that.

A long white jade staircase, covered with a red blanket, at the end of the stone steps, stands the tallest palace in the imperial palace. Approached, but it was beyond Nie Ying's thoughts, this place was not luxurious, it was a simple color, whether it was the gate or the place within sight, the items used to decorate were commonplace for ordinary people.

Perhaps it was at this point that the voice of the heart was much softer: "Since the founding of the Yuntian Dynasty, he has deliberately built such a palace for the purpose of discussing national affairs, in order to let those in power know that everything we have comes from the common people, so we must do our best for their welfare." ”

Nie Ying didn't answer, and followed Xinyu into the palace, just like on TV or in the Forbidden City, in the spacious and tidy hall, in front of it, there was a big chair.

Below, an old man over half a hundred years old stood respectfully, looking at his back, he knew that the luxurious life on weekdays made him quite rich. The two of them crossed the old man, stepped directly up the steps, and sat on the chair with Xinyu, Nie Yingfang turned around and saw the old man's face.

Ruddy complexion, undisguised pride in his life, chest-length long beard, and kind face, no one who knows will see it, no one would have thought that such an old man is a powerful person in the dynasty.

"Old minister, see Your Majesty!" Wen Ping shouted respectfully, and did not have the action that Nie Ying imagined, he should kneel.

"Excuse me. There was no expression on his face, and his cold and serious voice sounded, it seemed that this was the expression that Xinyu should really have.

Wen Ping raised his head and met Nie Ying's gaze, a sense of surprise should have been on his face for a long time. However, at this time, Wen Ping didn't have the heart to pay attention to who this person was, and said busily: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." Although the words were respectful, there was a slight disdain on his face.

"Oh? Lord Wen is loyal to the country, diligent in government and loves the people, what a crime, is it that he is busy with political affairs during this time, which makes the old man feel a little trance and talk nonsense. Sharp words rang out softly from the mouth of the heart, but they clearly echoed throughout the hall.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, the chaos in the imperial capital a few days ago was done by the old minister, disturbing the people and destroying things, it really shouldn't be, please punish Your Majesty. ”

Nie Ying secretly wondered in his heart: "Wen Ping is not the Minister of War, and he holds great power? ”

It seemed that he knew Nie Ying's doubts, and said coldly: "Since the founding of the imperial dynasty, it has been strict, and there must be no large-scale battles in the imperial capital, otherwise, it is a capital crime, and no one has ever committed it in the past thousand years." Wen Ping, you are so bold, do you rely on your own being a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and I am young, so you can despise the country* and despise me?"

The old minister didn't dare, but there was a reason for the incident, the old minister's wife and uncle were killed, and he was angry for a while, so he did such a wrong thing. The old minister was an official in the three dynasties, and he asked himself to be loyal, this time, he really had to do it, please let His Majesty know it. The words are straightforward, but the tone is presumptuous to the extreme, and there is a hidden meaning of coercion.

Hearing this, Xinyu was not angry, but smiled slightly, and said calmly: "There is a reason for this? This explanation is very good!" Looking at Wen Ping, suddenly, a terrifying chill and coercion naturally emanated from Xinyu, and his tone became awe-inspiring: "You, Lord Wen, are loyal to the imperial court, aren't other ministers loyal? If you are loyal to the imperial court, you can ignore the country and act arbitrarily? If every minister is like you, what do you want the imperial court to do?"

In the depths of Wen Ping's eyes, a ruthless and gloomy color suddenly appeared, and after a moment of sinking, Fang is said: "Your Majesty's lesson is very good, and the old minister knows his mistakes." I also hope that His Majesty will remember the past achievements of the old minister, as well as the sadness of the children in the family, and give the old minister a chance. ”

"Hehe, Wen Ping, you are the Minister of War, in charge of the defense of the Imperial Capital, so you know *criminal*, tell me yourself, how can I give you a chance?"

Wen Ping listened to this seemingly gentle, but in fact cold words, only to see him grit his teeth, only then did he kneel, and then went to the end, and said respectfully: "The old minister is guilty, no matter how His Majesty punishes him, the old minister is convinced." ”

"A good move is to retreat into advance. Nie Ying said secretly. In this way, with Wenping's power, even if Xinyu is the empress, if he wants to deal with him according to the * degree now, it will only bring more serious consequences. In fact, the so-called * degree, many times, is to take care of the top.

Sure enough, a little coldness protruded in his beautiful eyes, and he waved his hand in disgust at Wen Ping, "Punish you for three years, and within half a year, you will not be allowed to leave the mansion for half a step, so that you can reflect at home." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Wen Ping replied respectfully, such a punishment, whether it is serious or not, varies from person to person.

For other officials, it may be very light, because it is a capital offense. But compared to Wen Ping, it is no less than a demotion. Half a year of house arrest is enough to do a lot of things. It's just that Wen Ping didn't want to take it in every possible way.

"Stand down!"

"Your Majesty!" The order of punishment did not make Wen Ping change color much, perhaps he guessed the current ending in his heart. But after hearing the words of the heart, Wen Ping stayed where he was, still staying for a few minutes... This move made Nie Ying and Xinyu above a little strange.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the murderer of the old minister's wife and uncle was brought back to the palace by Lord Ge, can you ask Your Majesty to hand over that person to the old minister for disposal?"
