The woman in green clothes behind her stepped forward and put down the box.

"The prince must also know that Emperor Xi is about to die in the near future, so the dark tide in the court is surging. Ning Yan is not talented, and she is willing to help the Nine Princes. She opened the box and pushed it in front of him. There is a history of thorns in Nanwu Chaozhou, which is the personal entourage of the three princes. This person took advantage of his position to do all kinds of evil, bullying men and women, and even raising taxes and levying extortions without authorization. The people of Chaozhou are miserable. Someone organized the people to write a letter to the people, wanting to present it to the emperor in person. But before the person who delivered the book entered the door of the imperial capital, he was found by the people of the three princes and beaten to death. This thing is the Book of the People! ”

Xiao Rin's face sank, and he reached out to pick up a cyan booklet with blood stains. Slowly opened it, and the lines were full of words, some of which were neat, some of which were crooked, but the words pierced the heart.

"The brothers of the Gui Dynasty have been fighting each other for many years, and the people are miserable. Don't you think the Nine Princes need to pay attention to it? Although Ning Yan is a woman, she also knows that the people are bigger than the sky. If the Nine Princes want to ascend to the throne smoothly, why don't they start here? She smiled and said nonchalantly.

"The eldest princess is so helpful, but this king is sincerely afraid." He smiled slowly, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Ning Yan is conditional, and the prince will make a decision after hearing it. First, immediately withdraw the troops and return the Donghe land that had been invaded before. Second, within five years of the Nine Princes' accession to the throne, they were not allowed to attack Donghe. Third, return Cen Jia to the guards of the previous month. If there is any problem, the prince but it doesn't hurt to ask. "She looks down-to-earth and generous.

He lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, and Ning Yan didn't urge. "How does this king know that you are not lying to this king?"

"Ning Yan can swear that if she is deceived, she will not die well. The prince can also make a comeback at any time, after all, these 200,000 troops are in the hands of the prince. She said with a smile, graceful and elegant.

"The eldest princess's subordinates are really not small." He seemed to have made up his mind, and the fan shook again, as if smiling rather than smiling.

Ning Yan stroked her fluttering hair and sighed: "The power of the prince's subordinates is not small, but Ning Yan was lucky to find this book of all people before the prince." ”

"What about the grain and grass that our army is stationed in Xiaosiming Mountain? Can the princess be returned? ”

"That fire, ......" After pondering for a while, Ning Yan said aggrievedly, "It's just to return the fire that the Nine Princes burned in Huizhou City, and Ning Yan can't afford to pay for those grains and grass." ”

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of pleasure in each other's eyes, and they couldn't help laughing. The autumn breeze in the four fields is soft, and the clouds in the sky are rolling.

"Before cooperating, Ning Yan wanted to ask, why did the prince want to get that supreme position?"

He glanced at her and said with a smile: "Isn't it a joy in life to be drunk and lie on the knees of a beautiful woman, and wake up to the power of the world?" Why should I refuse? ”

"I don't know what the prince thinks in his heart, but Ning Yan seems that wealth, fame and fortune are like floating clouds. Ascending to the highest position in the world can certainly be enjoyed through the ages, but it is necessary to endure a lifetime of loneliness. The way of kings has always been paved with white bones, and no one is allowed to go along. Can the prince be ready? She stared at him with bright eyes, secretly cunning.

Xiao Rin secretly sighed and applauded and smiled: "The girl is eloquent, has insight into people's hearts, and knows the subtleties, and this king is ashamed of herself." However, there is no throne that the eldest princess can take like the king? ”

Ning Yan smiled indifferently: "Forcing the palace? Rebel? If the name is not right, it is not good, and Emperor Xiaojia of the previous dynasty was a good emperor who worked hard all his life. However, his throne came from the murder of his father and brother, and it is still criticized today. If the prince doesn't care about the people's leisurely mouth, and doesn't care about the words and writings of the historians thousands of years later, then he has never seen Ning Yan today! She spoke calmly and calmly, as if she was sure that he would finally let go.

Xiao Rin shook her head, put away the folding fan with a "snap", and quickly passed the tea to her delicate and small ear and whispered, "What should I do?" This king is becoming more and more interested in the eldest princess. Then he saw that the woman's whole body was stiff, and her white face was stained with a flush.

Ning Yan took a sip of tea with an unnatural expression and pushed Xiao Rin back onto her cushion, the flush on her face that had not yet receded made her face even more beautiful.

She coughed and said, "Did the prince agree?" ”

Xiao Rin bowed his head, leaned under the pavilion, gently shook the folding fan, and the dilapidated pavilion could not damage the charm of his body, but it was more luxurious. Ning Yan sighed secretly, when she returned to Lanshan, she heard that Xiao Rin, the ninth prince of Nanwu, was a Zhilan jade tree-like figure, and it was true. This person's experience is very legendary, and the world praises him for his writing, his country's martial arts, and his country's military affairs, and his supporters in both the government and the opposition have a large number of supporters.

Such a person is peerless, but at the same time too dangerous. I have to say that for Donghe, she prefers to be the third prince or the twelfth prince who will ascend the throne. If Xiao Rin succeeds in ascending the throne, it will definitely be a big threat to Donghe.

Five years is already the longest period, enough for him to reorganize the dynasty and turn the clouds and rain.

But what Ning Yan didn't expect at this time was that the five-year agreement was finally broken for herself. When Nanwu's iron hooves stepped on the wall of Yuesanguan, she understood that Donghe was exhausted, and she couldn't go back.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The end of December is precisely the coldest season. A guest came to Stone Town, riding in a carriage. The horse is a good horse, but the car is a little worn. The person who came looked like a young lady, wearing a plain white dress, soft and weak. The girl in green clothes who followed her had a fierce look.

The young lady fell ill on the way, and had to go into the town to find a doctor. The town is relatively closed, and few outsiders come all year round. At first, no one was willing to take them in, but Xiao Wuniang personally brought them some hot water and food.

Miss had a fever at night, and Xiao Wu Niang hurriedly moved her into the house, and sent Xiao Wu to the east to find Old Man Liu to come over and take a look. In a poor and remote place, the doctor's medical skills are average, and even the prescription has no effect, and it is not good after drinking it for a few days.

Ning Yan frowned and looked at the prescription prescribed by Old Man Liu, sighed, found a pen and paper to open one herself, and asked Qingluan to grab the medicine.

Xiao Wu's mother felt embarrassed: "Miss Yan, we don't have a doctor in this small place, Old Man Liu knows a little about herbal medicine, and everyone has a headache and brain fever to look for him." You can also write prescriptions. ”

Ning Yan assumed the alias Yan Ning at this time, and took Qingluan and the two of them quietly out of the Yuesan Pass and went straight to Guilanshan. The body has not been well understood before, but who knew that it relapsed halfway, so I had to find a place to settle down temporarily in a nearby village and town.

She smiled when she heard this: "It's just a long-term illness, nothing unusual." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qingluan's voice came from outside: "Little Wu, don't steal food!" ”

Ning Yan smiled helplessly: "Our master and servant have caused you trouble. ”

Xiao Wu's mother waved her hand again and again, smiling honestly: "Where is it, the girl's family can't eat much rice." On the contrary, it is the stinky boy of Xiao Wu, who eats all day long, as if he can't eat enough. ”

Xiao Wu is the only seedling of this family, although he is an ordinary family, his father and mother are also very precious. This baby doesn't like to read, doesn't like to write, but likes to eat. Ning Yan's jaw dropped when she saw him for the first time, the person in front of her couldn't be described as strong, it was obviously a ball.

Xiao Wu's mother had a sad face: "I am used to it with his father, and I don't want to be motivated at such an age." ”

It is true that Xiao Wu is fourteen or fifteen years old, and the child in the palace who is about the same age as him doesn't know what is going on now. Will she be annoyed and angry, blaming her for not going back. Ning Yan propped her head and thought lightly.

"Have you asked for a master for him?"

"A few years ago, there was a Luo Dixiu who opened a small private school, and the children in the village went to study there. But Xiao Wu refused to go, and I really couldn't do anything about him. Xiao Wu wiped her tears.

"In this case, if you don't worry, Xiao Wu Niang, you can hand him over to me. In less than three years, he will definitely not be what he is now! The woman in white lying on the bed said lightly, with an idle smile on her face. But inexplicably made Xiao Wu and his mother feel convinced.
