"Ning Lian's belly should be almost full-term, right?" Ning Zhao suddenly remembered, and suddenly felt that this time passed really fast, and it seemed that the marriage was still yesterday, and Ning Zhuo's child was about to be born.

"I heard that because the child was almost full-term, Ning Lian asked for a decree to pray for blessings, and the emperor agreed." Jin Yuan said.

Ning Zhao nodded, suddenly laughed, and sighed: "I still know a little about my eldest sister, she sees that the child is about to be born, and she is not arrogant and waits for others to be served, and she also invites herself to Nancheng Temple, which is nothing more than afraid that Murong Cheng will come back to trouble her." ”

"It seems that she still hasn't given up that spring and autumn dream." Ning Zhao said.

Ning Jian wants to be the queen, it's not the first time to talk about it, others don't know, Jin Yuan has naturally heard of it, thinking about it, Jin Yuan also laughed, and said: "Since it's a dream, the day you wake up from the dream, let her be drunk for a while." ”

The old emperor agreed to Ning Lian's request to go to Nancheng Temple, and asked people to pack up their things and go directly that day, not wanting to stay in the East Palace for a moment.

After Ning Hong's body recovered, the old emperor still let him rest at home, when he learned the news, Ning Jian had already left, Ning Hong was puzzled, but he had heard a lot of rumors, and he was also worried about his drugging.

Fortunately, he is in good health and has no hidden diseases, otherwise Lord Chen's fate will be his own fate, and he has a new understanding of Ning Lian's ruthlessness.

If it weren't for the fact that Ning Lian still had the child of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his belly, Ning Hong really wanted to give up this chess piece, so as not to raise a tiger, maybe one day, he would become a victim of her revenge on others.

Murong Cheng and Murong Ji arrived in Beijing on time, first met with the old emperor to report on their work, and after the end, the old emperor held a banquet and rewarded the brothers.

One yard to one yard.

Ning Jian connived at the palace maid to drug and commit murder, the old emperor had already reprimanded Murong Cheng and punished Ning Lian, and the palace maid had also committed suicide, and the matter had been revealed.

However, Murong Cheng and Murong Ji had a meritorious role in the end of the official road, and the old emperor could not turn a blind eye, and after some praise, the old emperor let the two go back to rest.

As soon as Murong Cheng arrived in Kyoto, he heard that Ning Jian had gone to Nancheng Temple, and when he returned to the East Palace, he saw the empty dormitory, Murong Cheng not only sneered.

"You're so afraid of Hongu? Can't wait to leave the main palace? Murong Cheng muttered.

Murong Cheng stood in place for a while, then turned around and went back to his dormitory.

In fact, Murong Cheng was not unhappy about Ning Lian's instructing someone to drug and frame Ning Zhao, but it was a pity that Ning Lian's mind was not careful enough, and he couldn't succeed in the end.

If this is done, hitting Ning Zhao will be a blow to Jin Yuan, and it can be regarded as helping Murong Cheng.

It's just that it didn't succeed at the moment, but it attracted the rebuke of the old emperor.

But the old emperor didn't reprimand himself once or twice, and Murong Cheng didn't really care that much. The old emperor liked Murong Ji in his heart, this is a well-known thing, if you want to change the old emperor's opinion of himself, it is not as easy as forcing the palace to do it.

But Ning Jian ran away first, and Murong Cheng only felt funny, but was quieter.

If you don't see it, you won't see it, and you will be upset when you see Murong Cheng.

Ning Lian had already arrived at Nancheng Temple at this moment, away from Murong Cheng, Ning Lian was finally at ease, naturally he would not know what Murong Cheng was thinking, Ning Lian only wished to stay in peace until the child was born.

——

The court is complicated, spring is about to begin, the people are busy with spring ploughing, and the construction of the official road has reached the end, and there is no need to recruit people to work.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have already mobilized the craftsmen, and the rest of the completed teams have all been assembled in the city, and they will all arrive in less than five days." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Chen reported to the old emperor.

The old emperor sat on the dragon chair, nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Very good, now the craftsmen of the whole country are gathered in Lindu, as long as the people are ready, they can start building." ”

"Lord Jin." As he spoke, the old emperor looked at Jin Yuan.

Jin Yuan stood up with the jade wat in his hand, bowed down and said, "Weichen is here." ”

"As the head of the household department and the inspector of the imperial history, what you need to prepare is already ready?" The old emperor asked.

Jin Yuan arched his hand and said, "Back to the emperor, Weichen has already made a recital, calculated the silver taels needed for construction, and only waited for the emperor's personal approval." ”

"In addition, Weichen has already discussed with Lord Chen, and after the two batches of silver are issued, they will set off for Lindu together, and will personally supervise the successful completion of the last section of the official road." Jin Yuan said.

"Good!" The old emperor laughed and motioned to the stewards and eunuchs beside him to present the recital.

The steward eunuch sent the chapter to the old emperor, and the old emperor immediately looked at it, then nodded and said, "I am ready, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to Lord Jin with full authority." ”

"I'm waiting for your good news." The old emperor put down the piece, touched his beard, and laughed.

Murong Cheng saw that the old emperor was in a good mood, bowed down and stood up, and said, "Erchen also asks for an order, and is willing to follow Lord Jin to Lindu to help the two adults." ”

Murong looked at Murong Cheng fiercely, couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, and stood up after him, and said to the old emperor: "Erchen is reconsidering, Erchen is also willing to follow, not only can help the two adults, but also learn more things from the two adults." ”

"Good! Very good! The old emperor looked at his two sons, who had just come back, and did not think about resting for a while, but took the initiative to ask for help.

Murong Ji glanced at Murong Cheng lightly, and had business with Murong Cheng several times in a row, and Murong Ji knew Murong Cheng's style of acting early.

Even if Murong Cheng didn't ask for his life, in the end, the old emperor would definitely assign the two of them to go together, and Murong Cheng mentioned it now, so he took the initiative to ask for help, and he was hypocritical, but it was just to please the old emperor.

He Murong Ji is not a fool, of course he will not let this advantage be taken advantage of by Murong Cheng alone.

Now the two princes have invited each other, the old emperor is very happy, his smile is a little sincere, he looked at his two sons, and said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that the two of you have learned a lot from leaving Beijing these few times." ”

"The official road in this section of Lindu is very important, there can't be a fork, you go with it, you must help the two adults well, and you have to discuss everything with them." The old emperor instructed.

"The son will live up to his father's trust." The two brothers said in unison.

Jin Yuan looked at the two people standing in front of him lightly, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't see any extra emotions.

"Are they really going?" Ning Zhao had just returned from Liuliju, and happened to meet Jin Yuan in the court, and casually asked about the affairs of the court, and learned that the court had determined the time and personnel to travel to Lindu.

"It's inevitable, nothing surprising." Jin Yuan stopped Ning Zhao's shoulder, and the two walked towards the courtyard.

After thinking about it, Ning Zhao still breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, the emperor didn't mention the matter of rewarding you now, if you wait until the official road in Lindu is successfully built, your qualifications and merits, even if you really want to promote you to the third duke, if you want to come to those ministers in the court, you don't dare to have any opinions." ”
