After talking for a long time, Marquis Ning Yuan said the purpose of his coming: "Since you have already come, then let's go to the court together tomorrow to meet the emperor." ”

Xin Yan said: "This is natural, I also planned to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Ning Yuanhou thought about it for a while, but still felt that he had to remind her: "Also, you should be careful these days, I'm afraid that someone may be unfavorable to you." However, you don't have to be nervous, maybe I'm suspicious, and there were voices that questioned you before, but after all, you really cured the plague, and I don't think those people dare to trouble you. ”

She smiled: "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

"In addition, there is another thing, the people I escorted back to Beijing before, this matter is very related, and those people can also be said to be exposed because of your relationship, after all, if you didn't happen to encounter the plague, they might have time to get away with it. And you also cured the plague, and now you are the heroes, they are sinners, and this gap is not so quickly acceptable. ”

Ning Yuanhou didn't have anything to say, but after he investigated, he found out that those people were not so innocent behind them, each of them had their own forces, specially, and it was related to the people in Gyeonggi, he was afraid that those people would target Xin Yan, so he wanted to remind her, so as not to be plotted by others.

Xin Yan knew his kindness, and said with a light smile: "I know the intentions of Master Hou, and I will be more careful these days." ”

Her reaction, Ning Yuanhou didn't expect it, if a woman encounters this kind of thing, someone wants to be unfavorable to her, she is scared and panicked, or she is trembling all day long.

But now she looks so plain and calm, what's going on?!

Ning Yuanhou asked without giving up: "Well, you are nothing, it's just ...... Don't have anything to say to me? ”

In his eyes full of hope, Xin Yan still broke his illusion: "Does Master Hou have anything else to say?" ”

Ning Yuanhou sighed, this woman is really ......

I wanted her to say something to let someone protect him, and he wouldn't have watched her be assassinated, but the parties involved didn't take it seriously, and he didn't have much to say.

"Forget it, nothing. If you have any questions or difficulties, you can go to the Hou Mansion to find me. ”

Thinking about it, this Xin Yan is also a weak woman, in this turbulent Gyeonggi, there are traps everywhere, he can help it, and it can be regarded as friendship.

After all, it was because of her that he was able to return to Beijing unscathed.

Xin Yan couldn't help laughing: "Well, I know. ”

This smile is like a spring breeze.

Ning Yuanhou felt that he was not as calm as a little girl.

"Now that the words have been brought, I won't bother you, I'll go back to the house first."

Xin Yan got up and sent him off: "Congratulations to Master Hou." ”

When Ning Yuanhou left, Wei Xiaochun said, "Hou Ye has a heart." ”

"Yes, Marquis Ning Yuan is indeed affectionate and righteous." Xin Yan said.

If you are a bystander, how can you surrender your identity to remind a businessman's daughter that it is good not to watch the show.

"Girl, do we need to step up our precautions these days?" Wei Xiaochun was also a little worried at this time.

Xin Yan suddenly changed into his shirt with a ruthless expression: "If they want to come, let them come, but it's not certain who will kill the deer." ”

Wei Xiaochun believes in the girl wholeheartedly, since the girl said that there is no problem, it is no problem.

The mist in the distance shrouded the palace in a curling mist, and it seemed unrealistic from a distance. Wooden pillars carved from sandalwood, and phoenixes soaring with wings on the cornices.

The palaces are displayed in front of you, the floating windows carved by blue tiles are vivid, and the glazed tile roofs are overflowing, flashing with dazzling light. Like the realm of the sky, it is unattainable.

The main hall is surrounded by ancient trees and green trees. The red wall bricks and tiles are splendid.

The snow-white surface against the intricately patterned roof is like a spring with tears, hazy and itchy. The scenery is like clouds, ethereal and unreal.

Emperor Chengwu sat majestically on the throne, his face was yellow, although he tried his best to maintain his integrity, but Xin Yan could see at a glance that she was strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and she had been overindulged in lust for many years, and the interior had already been hollowed out, despite the support of the pill, there was still no way to make up for the energy that had been exhausted.

Xin Yan made a big salute uprightly: "People's daughter Xin Yan, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Emperor Chengwu was quite surprised by such a standard of etiquette for her, and when he heard that she was a merchant, he thought she was a vulgar person.

However, when I saw it today, it was indeed beautiful and moving, no worse than a noble woman.

Emperor Chengwu said: "Flatten." ”

"Your Majesty."

Not humble, not arrogant, not arrogant.

That is, there is no timidity and fear to meet the holy face, nor is there any arrogance that thinks too highly of oneself, and he is calm and unhurried from beginning to end.

"You're Xin Yan?" Emperor Chengwu became serious and deliberately exerted pressure.

As soon as he became serious, even his confidants couldn't help but be afraid, but Xin Yan's eyelids didn't move, and he still said calmly: "Yes." ”

"You cured the plague and invented that mask?"

"Back to the emperor, yes."

"Then tell me how you were cured of the plague."

Xin Yan explained how she discussed and studied with Medical Officer Lu, as well as the patient's situation after the medication, without adding the slightest oil and vinegar to the process, magnifying her own merits, but also not being overly modest, as if she was narrating an insignificant matter.

The courtiers looked at each other, why, from her mouth, the plague didn't seem to be so terrible?

Emperor Chengwu asked, "You mean, Fangzi is what you saw in medical skills?" ”

"Yes, but what I saw at the time was only a part, because the lone book had been almost destroyed, and many of the prescriptions were not very clear, so it took some time."

When Emperor Chengwu heard this, he immediately laughed: "Okay, good." I didn't expect that I also have a talent like you in Dajin, I heard Ning Yuanhou say that you are a businessman, but I didn't expect that your medical attainments are so profound. ”

Xin Yan was terrified: "The emperor has rewarded, the folk girl has no attainments in medical skills, but she just happened to stumble by mistake, and thanks to the help of the Lu medical officer, as well as the trust of the Hou Ye, the plague can be successfully cured." ”

Ning Yuanhou was stunned, and laughed in his heart, this girl ......

"Master Hou has indeed worked hard, you should also be rewarded! I'll reward you with 10,000 taels of gold, how about it? ”

Emperor Chengwu felt in his heart that this was already a great gift, even if she was a businessman, after all, she was also a woman, and she had never seen so much money.

I wanted to see her expression of gratitude to Dade, but found that there was no expression on her face.

said flatly: "Thank you for the emperor's reward, it's just that Xin Yan has seen those wandering people in the north, and I can't bear it, and I hope that the emperor will reward me with gold and silver, and take all of it to help the people." ”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chengwu couldn't help but look at Xin Yan twice, this is ten thousand taels of gold, ordinary people, even those with a solid family have seen so much money in their lives, she actually said that she didn't want it.

"Do you really want to take all the gold taels to help the people?"

Xin Yan said: "Yes. ”

Emperor Chengwu narrowed his eyes and turned to laugh: "Since you care so much about the people, then take all of this to help the people, but since I said that I will reward you, I will do it." Do you have any wishes that I would like to help you fulfill? ”

Xin Yan smiled: "Thank you for the emperor's love, Xin Yan just obeyed his wishes, and didn't think about asking for the emperor's reward, and he was really ashamed to receive so much silver." If he has any wishes, Xin Yan can't think of them for a while. ”

"It doesn't matter, today, I will make you a wish, and if you have any wishes in the future, I will definitely satisfy you."

Xin Yan stepped back and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Just ......"

"What's wrong?"

Xin Yan wanted to speak and stopped, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, in fact, on the way to Beijing, something happened to Xin Yan. ”

Emperor Chengwu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

She sighed and said, "As soon as I left Yancheng, I was chased and killed, I thought I was a thief, but I didn't think much about it. But I overheard the man who killed me saying that he wanted to take my life to make amends. ”

"I thought it was my enemy seeking revenge. It's just that when I think about it, I'm a weak woman, where can I offend anyone, and I won't give up until I die? Isn't it, the emperor? ”

Among the courtiers, a man with a pale face, his hands clenched tightly, staring at Xin Yan deadly.

Ning Yuanhou also wondered why Xin Yan would say these things, could it be that those people went to seek revenge?

However, when he went yesterday, Xin Yan didn't say anything.

Xin Yan also pretended to be distressed: "So, I left a mind to know who wanted my life, no." I know from the leader of my assassins that he will kill me—"

Emperor Chengwu and the ministers of the court were aroused by her, and Xin Yan really said it vividly, making them feel that an assassination was staged in front of their eyes.

Emperor Chengwu asked, "How?" ”

Xin Yan was very distressed, and he stopped talking in his eyes: "Your Majesty, if I say it, please don't blame the emperor, for the sake of Xin Yan is just a civilian, don't worry about Xin Yan." ”

Emperor Chengwu waved his hand and said, "I don't care, let's talk about it." ”

"Alas, the leader said that the person who wanted to kill me was the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Li Gaoyang." Xin Yan said unhurriedly.

Li Gaoyang's worries happened like this, and he immediately retorted: "You don't want to spew blood, when will I send someone to kill you." ”

The vicious appearance is not very convincing.

Xin Yan seemed to be startled by him, and hurriedly retreated behind Ning Yuanhou, and said in a panic: "No, I didn't say it, it was the leader who said it." ”

One is a weak woman, the other is a man with a fierce light, people will be biased towards the weak, so they naturally favor Xin Yan and believe most of her words.

Li Gaoyang received his father's gaze, and then withdrew his gaze from Xin Yan.

The courtiers all cast all kinds of glances at him, playful, gloating, and mocking......

It's not good in my heart, but it's too late.
