Chapter Seventy-Seven: Prayer
"Yes." Tang Ningnan replied very affirmatively, her eyes revealed perseverance, "If the thief is not removed, it will be difficult for the emperor to feel at ease, and the concubines will not be able to overthrow Concubine Hua in one fell swoop. This time, we have carefully set up a situation, as long as they dare to do it, we will definitely catch him and get his personal stolen goods! ”
Tang Ningnan thought of going with herself, Feng Feihan thought that she would worry about herself and his safety, and persuaded him to give up his plan to go south to Penglai Zhou, but looking at her such a firm tone, Feng Feihan couldn't help but think in her mind: It is worthy of the woman that my Feng Feihan likes.
On a summer thunderstorm afternoon, the light was dim, and the Buddhist hall of Rong Yuxuan became even darker. The Vajra Bodhisattva enshrined on the shrine has angry eyes.
Tang Ningnan, who was dressed in plain clothes, knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha, chanting the scriptures in her heart, she didn't believe in these, birth, old age, sickness and death seemed to her to be a natural law, but now she just wanted to use the methods of this era to do something for the thirteen Miao Jiang men who died in battle, to comfort them in the heavens, and also to make herself feel less guilty.
Tang Ningnan recited the scripture for an hour.
The incense sticks in front of the Buddha are clearly extinguished, exuding a strong smell of sandalwood.
"Little Lord."
Bizhu saw that she had been kneeling for a long time, and whispered to her, telling her to get up and rest for a while.
After kneeling for an hour, Tang Ningnan held Bizhu's hand and struggled to stand up.
The rain outside the window has stopped, but the dark clouds have not yet faded, and there is no palm light in the palace, Tang Ningnan looked at the corner of the inky sky through the temple door and was a little stunned.
Bizhu thought that Tang Ningnan was grieving for the dead clansmen, and said: "Niangniang, don't be too sad, Niangniang has been chanting and praying for them for so long, and their spirits in the sky will definitely rest in peace." ”
"Do you still believe that the 30,000 Miao Jiang people were killed by Feng Feihan?" Tang Ningnan said.
"I don't believe it." Bizhu shook her head, "The slave only believes in the emperor and the little master now." ”
After getting along for so long, Bizhu gradually saw what kind of person Feng Feihan really was, and like their master, she knew that this matter would not be done by Feng Feihan.
This night was extremely lonely, Feng Feihan stayed all night in Chaohui Hall to deal with government affairs, while Tang Ningnan was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up the next day, I was very tired.
After the early dynasty, Feng Feihan came to Rong Yuxuan, and mysteriously said that he would take Tang Ningnan to relax, and asked her to change into civilian clothes.
Changing into casual clothes to go out of the palace? Tang Ningnan thought in his heart, but he still went to change his clothes first.
The emperor was sure to take her out of the palace, but the carriage didn't go far west and stopped.
After getting out of the carriage, Tang Ningnan saw that this was a grassland, although it was not very big, but because it was a royal enclosure, there were few people, and it seemed clean.
It had been raining for several days, but now it was finally clear. Feng Feihan pointed to a few buildings that looked like yurts in the distance, and said that this is the Bac Ninh Palace, because the place is not very big, so every year to go to the water palace for summer vacation.
"Don't look at the small place here, but you can hunt, it's much more interesting than the Water Imperial Palace."
"The concubine doesn't feel small, the concubine likes it very much." Tang Ningnan opened his arms and felt the cool breeze blowing from the west, mixed with the aroma of earth and grass.
Water Imperial Palace, Bac Ninh Palace.
In her time, it was a completely private villa, but it was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.
Feng Feihan took a horse that Su Mingju had pulled out of the stable, and said to Tang Ningnan with a smug expression, "My father liked to come here the most, and at that time, I had the most hunting for a group of princes. ”
Saying that, he turned over and stepped on the horse, and Tang Ningnan realized that Feng Feihan, who got off the carriage behind him, had already changed his clothes, and was wearing a short shirt for hunting, looking heroic.
Tang Ningnan was staring at Feng Feihan's posture in a daze, and the person on the horse had already leaned down and stretched out his hand to him, did Feng Feihan mean to take her on a horse ride in person? She stretched out her hand, Feng Feihan pulled hard, and she sat firmly in front of him. The two rode together towards the yurt in the distance.
He and Feng Fei Han were galloping on this royal grassland, the cattle and sheep scattered in the distance retreated rapidly, Tang Ningnan wrapped the cloak that Su Mingju had just handed her, and only felt that the wind was whistling in her ears.
When he was about to reach the yurt, Feng Feihan's speed gradually slowed down.
After slowing down, Tang Ningnan dared to get his head out of his cloak and hat.
As far as the eye can see, there is a low hill in the distance. The horses beneath her tread the lush green meadows that stretched from her feet to the foot of the hills in the distance......
Feng Feihan turned over and dismounted first, and then stretched out a hand to help Tang Ningnan down.
The two sat side by side on the grass, and in the distance, the sun shot through the clouds, shooting beams of light.
"Well, the view is not bad, right?" Feng Feihan asked.
"The emperor is busy with government affairs, in fact, there is no need to bring concubines here to relieve the emotions of concubines." Tang Ningnan lowered his head and stirred with the green grass on the ground.
Why didn't she understand in her heart? The emperor was worried that she would hurt her people too much, and like the last time Mifei died, he locked himself in the house for a long time and did not want to see people.
"It's okay, I'm willing." Feng Feihan said.
Stretched out his arm to let Tang Ningnan lie flat, looking at the sky where there were still clouds after the thunderstorm.
Tang Ningnan tilted his head and lay down in the crook of Feng Feihan's arm. The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and when he is so tired, he should relax.
"I need to relax once in a while." Feng Fei Han groaned.
So he lay quietly in Feng Feihan's arms and stopped talking.
But gradually, a damp sensation came from the back, through the clothes, to the skin, and there was a feeling of extremely uncomfortable stickiness.
Isn't it just after it rained, how could the grass dry so quickly? Tang Ningnan thought about how to forget about this, and sat up from the grass.
was about to pull Feng Feihan up, but Tang Ningnan found that he had his eyes closed.
"The emperor may be really tired these days, and he can actually fall asleep here." Tang Ningnan smiled slightly, but he couldn't just watch him sleep in the damp grass, so he squatted down to wake him up.
"How can it be so hot?" When Tang Ningnan touched Feng Feihan, the hot skin spread to Tang Ningnan's hand?
"Your Majesty? Emperor? Tang Ningnan panicked.
But Feng Feihan couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, so Tang Ningnan called Su Mingju, who was now in the distance, and the two carried Feng Feihan back to the carriage and immediately returned to the capital.
Sitting in the carriage, Feng Fei Han slowly opened her eyes and saw Tang Ningnan holding her in her arms, looking anxious.
"Ning'er."
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Hearing the person in her arms call her, Tang Ningnan was surprised and delighted, but the worry in her heart still lingered.
"Your Majesty, why are you so stupid, obviously you have been dealing with the government overnight in the past few days, and you have taken your concubines to the grassland." Tang Ningnan was full of tears, and his voice was full of crying.
Feng Feihan laboriously squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, when I return to the palace, just rest more." ”
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, Su Mingju sent someone to the Tai Hospital to find Imperial Doctor Lin, and returned to the Chaohui Palace, Imperial Doctor Lin had not yet come, but the queen, Concubine Hua and other concubines came first.
How could they not know that the emperor was involved in this case along the way.
Tang Ningnan watched the palace people put Feng Fei Han An on the bed safely, and then walked out of the dormitory to see if Lin Zhizhou came.
Seeing Tang Ningnan come out, Concubine Hua looked at her sideways, and said in a raised voice: "Concubine Xiao is really powerful, why did the emperor follow you out and come back like this?" ”
Tang Ningnan ignored Concubine Hua, walked to the door, saw that Lin Zhizhou had not come yet, and turned his head to ask Su Mingdu next to him what was going on.
The birch concubine was left to the side, her face full of embarrassment.
"Mother, this... The minions don't know either. ”
This is just a imperial doctor who came in from the door, but it is not Lin Zhizhou, and Tang Ningnan doesn't care if it is Lin Imperial Doctor, so he exempted him from saluting, and let him go in to check Feng Feihan's pulse.
"The emperor has been working hard day and night these days, and he is already very tired, Concubine Xiao, you also asked the emperor to take you to the grassland, the grassland is windy, and it has just rained not long after, forgive the concubine and concubine bluntly, is it inappropriate for Xiao Guifei Niangniang's move." Concubine Yi stood beside Concubine Hua and echoed with her voice.
"Right and wrong are naturally decided by the emperor, and it is not your turn to place the beaked concubine." The concubine retorted.
This made all the concubines in the house a little surprised, the concubines have always been timid and afraid, and now they dare to say such tough words.
"As far as this palace knows, it was the emperor who wanted to go to the palace in Beining and let Xiao Guifei accompany him, not Xiao Guifei herself, so what Concubine Yi said was inappropriate, right?" The queen held her head.
Concubine Yi didn't want to say anything more, and stood aside stupidly.
At this time, the imperial physician inside took out the pulse.
"How is the emperor?"
"Back to all the ladies and gentlemen, the emperor is infected with the wind chill and has some fever, wait for Weichen to prescribe a pair of fever-reducing medicine for the emperor to take, and then recuperate, it should be fine in four or five days."
Hearing the imperial doctor say this, everyone's hearts relaxed.
"It's not a good thing to go out with Concubine Xiao Guifei to hug it." After the imperial doctor left, Concubine Hua spoke again, making it clear that Tang Ningnan did not take good care of the emperor, so he brought disaster to the emperor.
There are many people who are dissatisfied with the emperor's concubine who is so good to Tang Ningnan, but Tang Ningnan is now a noble concubine, and even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not show any disrespect on their faces.
Hearing Concubine Hua speak like this, a room of concubines looked at her in surprise.
Concubine Hua was a little embarrassed to be stared at, and stammered, "Look... What to see, isn't it? ”
"The emperor and Concubine Xiao Guifei went on a private tour, but they were injured on the way, and even the private tour was delayed. The Qixi Lantern Festival Xiao Guifei went out of the palace, and the emperor went and was almost pushed down the river. This time, it's Bac Ninh Palace again, you say..."
"Smack!" Before the words were finished, a loud slap fell on Hua Concubine's face.
Concubine Hua raised her body, covered her beaten face, and stared at Tang Ningnan who beat her in disbelief, and everyone in the room was also surprised.
"Sister." The concubine stepped forward and called Tang Ningnan's name.
"You provoke this palace with your words, this palace doesn't care about you, you are becoming more and more presumptuous?"
