Dongfang Jin analyzed all kinds of possibilities, which way of people are so bold, several bandits and bandits have been checked, but there is no possibility, those people have the guts, but the scale is absolutely not, even if they give them those grains, they don't know how to transport them.

Dongfang Jin felt more and more suspicious, he didn't want gold and silver, just food, it looked like there was no trace, but it was too obvious, so he had to be suspicious of King Ning and his wife, could it be that they pretended to kidnap the case to threaten the court, and after asking for food and grass, they were ready to rebel?

Will King Ning rebel?

He thought about it, it was definitely not impossible, but King Ning had never had a big idea, and it was impossible for him to do such a big thing.

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and Dongfang Jin's head hurt a little.

However, instead of panicking, he calmed down and decided to pay the ransom. However, the grain and grass of one million stone was reduced to 30,000 stone.

Although the amount of 30,000 stone is not small, in the end, the state treasury can also spend it extra, and the grain of 30,000 stone is not too much, but it is said that it is not much, and it is said that it is not much, and there must be traces when they transported the grain.

After releasing the news, I quickly received a reply, but I didn't expect the other party to agree.

At this moment, Dongfang Jin was a little confused, he knew that this was the case, he should have cut down again.

I didn't expect that King Ning and his wife were worth this price in the eyes of each other.

Soon, the grain was put in the designated place, all the soldiers withdrew ten miles away, it was dark, just when everyone thought that the thief had taken the grain but did not let go, King Ning and his wife were released, tied up and put on a carriage, all the mouths and eyes were blocked, and after everyone untied the ropes, they found that their heads were swollen, almost unrecognizable, and their bodies were full of blood, obviously suffering a lot.

After they returned to Beijing, they immediately returned to the palace to wait for Emperor Yunqi's edict, Emperor Yunqi was angry with him, and there was a decree before, they could not return to Beijing without an edict, so they did not pass them on for a while, they just lived in an inn in the capital.

Concubine Xianru summoned them.

As soon as she saw the embarrassed Ning Wang and his wife, Concubine Xian almost fell again, Qin Xiangning suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "Mother, my daughter-in-law thought that she would never see her mother again in this life, but I didn't expect that our mother would see each other one day, so we made the mother concubine worried......"

King Ning was also covered with scars, but this time he was not as angry as before, but knelt at the feet of Concubine Xian: "The son knows that the mother and concubine are heartbroken for their son, and the son has been missing his mother at the border, I thought that the day of seeing my mother was far away, but I didn't want our mother and son to see each other like this, and my son was embarrassed to you......"

When Concubine Xian heard this, she almost cried and fell to the ground, she hugged King Ning: "Son, as long as you live, the mother concubine is willing to do anything, as long as you are good...... Come into the house, we girls and children talk for a while, and don't say stupid things like apologies, and children don't need to apologize to their mothers......"

King Ning endured his grief and helped Concubine Xian, who looked them up and down, but saw that they were like fleeing people, their skin was also dark and rough, their hair was unkempt and messy, and their nails were full of black mud.

They cried and laughed in the courtyard for a while, and Concubine Xian finally wiped away her tears: "Tell my mother, who robbed you?" ”

"Erchen didn't see their appearance clearly, originally in Su'an, when he first arrived there, the land was barbaric, and there were constantly bandits harassing, fortunately, Erchen brought guards, and the emperor's uncle also sent people, so it was considered stable, but the land was really poor, and the crops could not grow, so the son had to think of a way, thinking that trade might solve the dilemma of life, so he began to do business, but there were no special products in the desert area, and he couldn't help but be sad...... On that day, the son and the princess went to Su'an Lingjun to look for opportunities, but they didn't want to rush out of a group of strongmen, and they actually kidnapped the two of us all the way to the capital, and they didn't talk to us. ”

After King Ning said this, his face was humble and introspective that he had never seen before, which made Concubine Xian both sad and relieved, her son had been gone for more than half a year, and he had matured so far, although he suffered a little, but this was also a big gain: "You don't blame your father for saving you too late, and for the sake of your father and emperor like this, the mother concubine is really happy......"

Concubine Xian didn't say it in the end, she went to ask the emperor for something, she didn't want their father and son to be evil.

King Ning nodded: "The mother concubine is the most bitter one, the son's sin." ’

"Don't say that, this matter is a disaster, but it is also a blessing, the mother concubine went to tell your father, let him leave you behind, don't go to that wild place, because this thing can happen once, it can happen twice, it's too dangerous, let my mother rest assured, even if my mother fights for this life, let you stay, today, it's getting late, you can find an inn to stay, and wait for the news of your mother tomorrow."

Qin Xiangning has been silent beside her, she has a timid expression on her face, Concubine Xian only thinks that she is frightened by the thief, thinking that it will be fine in a few days, in fact, it is not like that at all.

That's for another time.

The next day, Concubine Xian found Emperor Yun Qi, Emperor Yunqi's body weakened again, the imperial doctors were busy, An Tanran was also on the side of the couch, Dongfang Jin was of course there, Concubine Xian took advantage of the time when there were few people, and begged each other softly.

Emperor Yun Qi on the couch sighed: "You guys, you don't know my mind at all, since they want to come back, come back, the old saying says that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided......"

He said these words one after another, which made Concubine Xian both happy and confused, but no matter what, they were finally able to stay, and she didn't care about the rest.

The emperor promised to let them still live in the old site.

Concubine Xian had already sent someone to clean up King Ning's Mansion, and when they returned to the mansion, the people arranged by Concubine Xian had already finished everything in the mansion, and they had also arranged a lot of slaves, so they could be regarded as staying.

However, no one in Jingzhong dared to meet them, because their identity was too special. Everyone is watching the direction of the wind, but no one dares to act rashly until they see it clearly.

And those grains Dongfang Jin has already arranged for someone to secretly investigate, and I am afraid that the conclusion will be found out soon.

Because of Emperor Yunqi's physical reasons, other things were pressed down for the time being.

April 16.

Emperor Yunqi's birthday.

The palace feasted the ministers.

The weather was fine that day, and there had been no banquet in the palace for a long time, and the queen mother was in a good mood, so she held a banquet for her son, and also took out her own money. Therefore, the people in the Internal Affairs Office couldn't help but work hard, spending effort on food and furnishings, and An Tanran couldn't do it himself because she was pregnant, but she also kept an eye on it.

On the same day, King Ning and his wife also attended, and also gave a jade Guanyin.

An Tanran sat there a little pressured, and saw that no one noticed and walked out, Honeysuckle helped her: "Master, you haven't eaten anything." If you are hungry, the slave maid may also bring you some pastries. ”

An Tanran walked to a cluster of peonies that were blooming brightly, picked one of them, and played with it carefully in his hand: "This peony is late this year, and at this time in previous years, it has been defeated......"

Honeysuckle looked at An Tanran puzzled, and really didn't understand what to say about this, so he nodded: "Yes, this year's solar term is slightly later than in previous years." ”

"Yes, it's been so long, and I haven't seen the flowers properly, but fortunately it stays for me." An Tanran said as he put the flower in the bristles, and a faint wisp of fragrance followed, which was very pleasant.

swept away, but saw the figure leaning down and hiding, but An was startled: "Who?" ”

Honeysuckle also turned around to take a closer look, but saw a pink corner exposed behind the green camphor tree, but it was a skirt, and heard the shouts of their master and servant, the person behind the tree walked out slowly, tall and tall, but extremely slender, with a dark cloud mane, but it was Qin Xiangning.

I didn't talk to her privately.

I only knew that they had returned to Beijing again, and they lived in King Ning's mansion, so she didn't care too much, after all, King Ning followed King Kang in his last life to set off a big storm, and now King Kang looks decadent, lingering in the land of fireworks all day long, and his fighting spirit is completely gone. So even with King Ning, she put her mind at ease.

But I don't want to see Qin Xiangning again, why does she look like this, she is a lot haggard, it is understandable, but her eyes are full of dodge, and she looks like she is afraid of being punished for doing the wrong thing, and she stepped forward: "I've seen the crown princess." ”

An Qianran nodded slightly: "Princess Ning suffered a few days ago, and now she is back in Beijing, but what is the need?" As long as I can help, I can do it in the ward. ”

"Oh, no." After Qin Xiangning finished speaking, she glanced behind her, and stood there again without squeaking.

He spoke with a wooden expression, and his speech was slow, without the sharp edge of the past.

An Tianran thought that she was going to do something, so she couldn't help but be careful: "Princess Ning, why did you come out of the banquet, I think it is unappetizing?" ”

"No, it's just stuffy."

"It's cooler here than Su'an."

"I don't know how to go, it's been a month since we left there, and when we came, it wasn't much hot there, but it was so hot in the capital that people were upset......" Qin Xiangning said, sighed, and smiled awkwardly, "Don't bother the princess, I'll go back to the table now." ”

After chatting for a few words, I saw a red-clothed figure approaching, but it was the newlywed Dongfang Ruoxue, the scar on her face did not show at all, but it was smoother and more delicate than before, and her body was also plump and round, it looked like a full bead, An covered her mouth and smiled, Qin Xiangning also saw Dongfang Ruoxue at this moment, and hurriedly hid to the side: "I have seen the county lord." ”

Dongfang Ruoxue was also shocked when she saw her: "Princess Ning is also here, but she is hiding so lightly......"

Qin Xiangning nodded: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Ruoxue County Lord is overjoyed." I should go back to the palace for a banquet, after a long time, King Ning will look for me. ”

With that, he left in a hurry.
