Chapter Ninety-Six: Childhood Plums and Bamboo Horses (2)
After drinking, he looked up at his seemingly harmless little face and asked nervously, "I...... When will I see my mother? ”
Yan Ning sighed secretly, no wonder Ah Xuan likes it, this cleverness is really the same as her mother. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info smiled softly at the moment: "As long as you are obedient, you will be able to see you soon." ”
Qing'er stood beside the bed and said to him very seriously: "Aunt Yan won't lie to you, so you have to be obedient." ”
Cheng Ning looked at the little girl with a doll bun next to the bed a little stunned, her little face suddenly turned red, and then she quickly got into the quilt. Qing'er was taken aback by his actions, and stepped forward to pick up his quilt and said hurriedly: "What are you hiding?" It's going to be stuffy inside......"
Yan Ning smiled and pulled her to leave: "Young Master Chengning wants to rest more, Qing'er, let's go." ”
Qing'er obediently took Yan Ning's hand and was about to leave, but the person in the quilt hurriedly came out, blushing and shouting, "Don't go!" ”
Yan Ning smiled brightly and said understandingly: "Then Qing'er is here to accompany our Young Master Chengning." ”
Qing'er rarely met a partner who was about the same age as her, and excitedly quickly broke free of Yan Ning's hand and ran to the bedside. The two little people looked at each other and laughed, and they didn't say much but kept laughing, and the room was bright. The intoxicating sunset shines through the carved wooden windows, adding a sense of warmth.
Laughing silently, Yan Ning raised her voice and said, "Everyone go down, the nurse is waiting outside the door." Everyone obeyed the order and retreated, and Yan Ning took Bishuang out of the Eaves Snow Pavilion.
When I walked out of the courtyard to the verandah, a strong wind blew through the flat ground, and the leaves on the trees fell one after another. The fallen leaves were blown up and down by the wind, and they couldn't find their way, and they drifted for an unknown amount of time before they fell into the dust. It is as if a person without roots can never find a place to return.
She let out a long sigh, and as she continued walking, she saw a dark shadow pass in front of her, and quickly disappeared into the courtyard. Looking in that direction, it seems to be where the Lingering Garden is located.
"Did someone pass by just now?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Bi Shuang paused: "There is indeed a figure of the Tao past, I'm afraid it's the secret guard in the house." ”
Yan Ning's brows furrowed more and more, and after thinking about it, she muttered, "No...... No, Bishuang went with me to the Lingering Garden. ”
She turned around and hurried towards the Lingering Garden. Although the City Lord's Mansion did not have many soldiers, there were no less than ten light formations inside and outside. Xiao Rin and Ah Xuan are out of the same house, and it is naturally not a problem to break the formation. But where can ordinary people who are not familiar with it easily enter and exit these formations, but this person is as if he has entered a no-man's land.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, who was this person? What is the purpose of being here?
The pace of his feet became faster and faster, until he was stopped by a man rolling down from the eaves at the entrance of the Lingering Garden. With a flattering smile on his baby's face, the man threw the ribbon that tied his hair behind him, and said with a yawn:
"Where are you going, Mrs. Yan?"
"Did you see a dark shadow coming in from here?"
"Dark Shadow?" Lu Li haha, "Where did the dark shadow come from in broad daylight?" Naturally, the subordinates did not see it. ”
"You really didn't see it?"
"It's true!"
Yan Ning ignored him, raised her feet and walked towards the Lingering Garden.
Lu Li hurriedly grabbed her: "I said I didn't see it, why don't you believe it?" Our lord is entertaining very important guests inside, so you can't be easily disturbed. ”
Yan Ning sneered: "What guest doesn't enter from the main entrance, and has to come over the wall like a gentleman on a beam?" ”
"Uh...... Naturally, there are such guests......"
"Or what are you hiding from me?" Yan Ning stared at him deadly, not letting go of the slightest change in his face.
Lu Li touched his head and smiled: "What's the matter......" The laughter stopped awkwardly in her gaze, and Lu Li said helplessly: "A-Ning, sometimes I really wish you were stupid and not so smart." ”
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Tell me about it! The lord saw the owner of the underground palace of the Donghe royal family. ”
"The master of the dungeon?" Yan Ning was a little surprised, "What is he here for?" ”
Yan Ning is no stranger to this underground palace, she escaped through the underground palace when she was imprisoned in the palace by Zheng Yu and Yun Xiu. It's just that I didn't see the true face of the owner of the underground palace at that time, I only knew that this underground palace had existed for hundreds of years, and it was closely related to the fate of the Donghe royal family.
Lu Li opened the folding fan and shook it: "The founding emperor of Donghe once left a secret edict, the descendants of Donghe can die, and the country cannot be destroyed." It is the underground palace that does not participate in the court struggle, and only goes out of the mountain to protect Donghe when necessary. You must know that the people in the underground palace have been trained since childhood, and their hearts are the same, and they only exist to protect Donghe. Therefore, the existence of the underground palace is the key to the fall of Donghe. ”
"So...... Ah Xuan is going to ......" Yan Ning's face turned pale.
"That's right, the existence of the underground palace for hundreds of years has long been unrestricted, and generation after generation of underground palace people have exhausted their lives in the dark. But what's the point? Not everyone is willing to accept that senseless mission, and naturally some people want to resist and break free. So it's just a matter of taking what you need, so why not? ”
It is not easy to break the old cage and trap, but it is man-made. Only by completely destroying and completely subverting can we rebuild and regenerate from the ruins.
Looking at Yan Ning's pale cheeks, Lu Li sighed: "Don't you want to see such an end?" ”
Shaking her head, her expression was unusually quiet: "If it is a rotten wood, how can it be made into wood?" ”
It's hard to tell if it's sadness or joy, or both. Donghe used to be the place where she poured all her heart and soul into it, and she took Kuang Shi to help the people as her own responsibility, and there was never a little sloppiness. But as she said, if it is a rotten wood, how can it be spring? It's better to burn it clean.
"You don't have to worry, even if the emperor is broken, as long as Zheng Yu surrenders, he will not suffer much. For him, it was also a relief, and there was no need to worry about the throne. You just have to remember that you did nothing wrong. ”
As the last emperor of Donghe, he only knew the sound of dogs and horses. not only did nothing, but even killed many virtuous ministers and generals in vain, which can be regarded as infamous in the history books.
Yan Ning smiled bitterly: "Even if it's not my fault, but after a hundred years, when I go down to Huangquan, how can I explain to my master?" What she asked me, I finally failed to do. ”
Lu Li didn't say anything anymore, the night spread little by little, and the floating people's hearts were infinite.
After a while, a slender figure of blue and white walked out of the garden, and his face became clearer and clearer, with the coolness of the night like water. He walked too slowly, but every step was extremely determined. Yan Ning turned her face sideways, but her tears gradually became wanton.
