CHAPTER XXV

In the palace, Helian Jinlin, the son of Zhang Guifei, is the eldest son, and the three princes have not been crowned kings for a long time. Now, the three princes will get married in less than two months, and they will be crowned kings before the wedding, but they have two elder brothers.

For this matter, the emperor thought about it for a long time, Ying Qi was sick and had not been to the court for many days. Only then did he summon someone from the Ministry of Rites to ask about the rules of the ancestral system.

The people in the Ministry of Rites discussed for a long time, and finally felt that the most appropriate way for the three highnesses to be crowned kings together.

When the emperor heard this, he shook his head and said: "It is suitable for Jin Lin Jin Yuan to be crowned king, as for Jin Yi, he has lived in the palace for a long time, and he opened the palace too early, I am afraid that he will not be adaptable, and the matter of his king will be temporarily put on hold, what do you think?"

Among them, the older minister stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, although His Royal Highness has not married a wife, he is the eldest son after all, and the king is also in line with the ancestral system."

"That's good, the proposed decree, the eldest prince Helian Jinlin will be named the King of Wei, and the third prince Helian Jinyuan will be named King Hui, and the ceremony will be held, you will go down and prepare first." Helian Minghuai said.

As soon as the holy decree came out, it was rumored inside and outside the palace that His Majesty intended to pass on the position of the crown prince to the second prince, otherwise why did the three princes leave the second prince in the palace.

A holy decree, coupled with empty rumors, made Zhang Guifei not sleep well day and night, and did not eat well, so she had to run to the emperor's palace to probe the emperor's tone. Once or twice, it was okay, she ran diligently, but the emperor excused herself from seeing her, and she became more and more worried.

In the morning, Zhang Guifei sat in front of the dressing table, letting the girl next to her Lianqiao tie her hair in a bun.

Lian Qiao said casually, "Master, you haven't laughed much these days. ”

Zhang Guifei sighed deeply, "Your Majesty's move is really incomprehensible. ”

Lian Qiao smiled lightly: "Master, think about it, His Royal Highness has been crowned king, but it does not affect His Royal Highness's real merits to Beiliang and his loyalty and filial piety to His Majesty, the name of the prince is just a boo."

Zhang Guifei pondered Fang Cailian's clever words, which was not unreasonable. She raised her hand and gently held Lianqiao's hand, looked at her, and said, "Do you like Your Highness?"

Lian Qiao bowed slightly, and said shyly: "The slave and maid are lowly, His Royal Highness is noble, and the slave and maid dare not be delusional."

Zhang Guifei smiled at the corner of her mouth, "You have been with the palace for many years, your temperament is naturally clear in the palace, if you like His Royal Highness, the palace will send you to the palace, if you don't like it......"

"The slave is willing!" Lian Qiao said immediately.

"Good girl, enter the mansion, the name Lianqiao can no longer be used, you are smart and clever, it is better to ...... Called Min'er? Zhang Guifei said.

Lianqiao immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank her, "Min'er, thank you for your master's great kindness!" ”

Min'er entered the mansion, starting from a concubine, if His Royal Highness becomes the emperor in the future, he is also a noble person.

Ying Qi was appointed as the Taishi of Northern Liang, and now he is sick in the house, as the emperor of Northern Liang, he naturally wants to send someone to greet him.

The emperor instructed the Imperial Physician Department to send a physician to see a doctor for Ying Qi, but the old physicians of the Imperial Physician Department looked embarrassed and were unwilling to go, and when Ning Bai arrived, "Imperial Physician Ning is young, and you should be in a high position, if you are cured, you will definitely have a bright future!" ”

Ning Bai didn't care, "The current official rank is enough to feed, what do you want to do in the future?" ”

The old lady doctors shook their heads one after another, looking at Ning Bai with a look of hatred for iron but not steel, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Ning was so young and so unmotivated!" ”

Ning Bai knew that these old ladies just felt that Ying Qi was high and powerful, moody, and if she was offended, the whole family would suffer, on the other hand, she was a fledgling and alone, plus Yu had the grace to save her life, Ying Qi would naturally spare her life in front of the queen and expel her from the palace.

The old lady said that she had no fighting spirit, and she didn't plan to go, but ...... She relented.

Ning Bai left the palace, only gave Xiao Anzi an explanation, and left. But I forgot the Buddha in the Zhengqing Hall.

In the Taishi Mansion, Ying Qi was sitting in the study with a good appearance, and the person opposite him was an uninvited guest.

Rong Si handed Mu Guixue's secret letter to Ying Qi and said, "Master Ying, my senior sister said that this secret letter contains all the clues she knows, and in another half a month, if Lord Ying still can't find it, Senior Sister will have to change the way."

"Finished?" Ying Qi said coldly.

Rong Si swallowed unconsciously, a little afraid. Senior sister can't suppress this Ying Qi, and she can't hold it even more," said ...... Finished. ”

Immediately, Ying Qi put the secret letter into the candle flame in front of Rong Si and let it burn.

Rong Si was shocked and immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Are you crazy?" But he was slapped back by Ying Qi.

When the secret letter was burned, Ying Qi looked at Rong Si, "Go back and tell Mu Guixue that without this secret letter, I will definitely find Ah Xin!" If she carried me behind my back in another way and hurt Ah Xin, then don't blame me for not remembering the old love! And you, don't do it easily with this seat next time, otherwise it won't be as simple as a zhang away. ”

Rong Si left in a bad mood, Ying Qi stayed where he was, his expression suddenly a little sluggish, if Ah Xin deliberately avoided him, how could he let him find it easily. As a child, he didn't find her once.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door behind him, and it was the attendant at the door, "My lord, Your Majesty has sent a doctor to treat you." ”

Ying Qi collected his emotions and said sharply: "Those old men, when they come, they will be dismissed, will they still use this seat to teach you?"

Seeing that the master was displeased, the attendant said tremblingly: "My lord, I'm afraid this time it will not be easy to dismiss."

Ying Qi glanced at the attendant, and the attendant quickly said smartly: "This time, it is a young imperial doctor, who said that he followed His Majesty's will to see you for your lordship, and said that even if the adult does not want him to see the illness, he must let him see him, so that he can go back and deal with him."

Hearing this, Ying Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and did not make a sound.

On the other side, Ning Bai Fengren would say that he had come by His Majesty's will, and naturally no one dared to stop him, but there was one exception.

Shi Yan was taller than Ning Bai, and his tall figure stood in front of Ning Bai, and Ning Bai suddenly felt embarrassed. Ning Bai wanted to dodge, but Shi Yan was determined and refused to give in.

"Taishifu is not where you came." Shi Yan said coldly.

Ning Bai tilted his head slightly and looked at Shi Yan, "This official is here at the behest of His Majesty, and you can't disobey it." ”

Shi Yan said: "You don't care about fame and fortune, the troubled waters of the palace may be a little deeper for you."

Ning Bai smiled lightly: "Although this official is young, he has a heavy mind, a deep city, and a great desire, so it is really not suitable to live in peace."

Shi Yan frowned rarely, "But willingly?" ”

Ning Bai shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "I'm used to being idle and free, if I don't want to, how can I restrain myself."

Although Ning Bai said this, Shi Yan never forgot that at the beginning, Ying Qi was the one who almost took Ning Bai's life.

Shi Yan said a little hurriedly: "The adult's illness will be taken care of by the doctor in the house, and Imperial Doctor Ning will please go back!"

Ning Bai looked at Shi Yan's appearance and guessed, "But you don't want this official to see a doctor for Lord Ying?"

Shi Yan was about to step forward and speak in detail, not wanting to be interrupted by a sudden voice, the momentum was pressing, "This seat is in the house, it should be for Imperial Doctor Ning to take a closer look." ”

Ying Qi put one hand on his back, the hand holding the jade wrench finger was placed in front of him, stepping on the perennial black boots, and wearing a golden silk python robe to show the high position of power, the status is noble, and the momentum is very compelling.

Ning Bai looked at it at a glance, Ying Qi's face was ruddy, full of energy, and he stood straight, where do you need a doctor!

Ning Bai smiled, his face expressionless, "Lord Ying is like this, I don't think I need a doctor, and I will retire." "Just about to turn away.

"Stop!" Ying Qi sighed in a deep voice and walked in front of Ning Bai, "Imperial Physician Ning has worked hard, and it is the official's fault not to let Imperial Physician Ning take a look." ”

Ning Bai bowed, "Thank you for the adult's mercy." After finishing speaking, Ning Bai didn't raise his head, but simply reached out and pulled Ying Qi's hand to check the pulse, probed carefully, and only put down Ying Qi's hand after confirming that it was okay, and said seriously: "Lord Ying is in good health, there is nothing wrong with it."

Ying Qi suddenly hooked his lips and said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Ning is a disciple of Doctor Qingyuan, and his medical skills are outstanding, and this official can be trusted. But...... Since you're here, why don't you go to the main hall for a small gathering? ”

Before Ning Bai could speak, Shi Yan leaned forward and said, "My lord, if Imperial Doctor Ning is too late, I'm afraid he will delay his return to the palace."

Ying Qi was unmoved, and looked at Ning Bai with a smile, but he was talking to Shi Yan lightly, "Shi Yan, are you afraid that this seat will take your benefactor's life like last time?" ”

Ning Bai was startled, and his mind was in chaos. It turned out that Ying Qi wanted to kill her more than once! From the very beginning, she should have understood that ten years is too long, and people will change, even if that person is very close and dear......

Ning Bai didn't want to stay for a moment, she also knew that she was scared, escaping from reality, trembling in her voice, "Xiaguan farewell......" She went straight past Ying Qi, but she didn't want to, but Ying Qi clenched her arm, "Imperial Doctor Ning is going to break the appointment?" ”

Ning Bai finally raised his head, looked at him with disappointment, broke away from Ying Qi's hand, and took a step back, "Xia Guan is timid and spares his life, so he won't accompany Lord Ying." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the main entrance, Ying Qi instantly froze his smile, and unconsciously clenched the hand in front of him into a fist, and his eyes became cold.

Without Ying Qi to speak, where could Ning Bai get out of the door of the Taishi Mansion. I saw that the guards in the door indifferently blocked her way.

Ning Bai looked sideways at Ying Qi and said angrily, "What does Lord Ying mean by this?"

Ying Qi stood silently for a long time, for Shi Yan, although Ning Bai was her savior, but Ying Qi was her master after all, and it was impossible for her to betray!

Ning Bai became more and more angry, and directly pushed the guard away, who knows, the guard relied on the power of the Taishi Mansion and Ying Qi's acquiescence, and pulled out the knife privately in a fit of anger, if it wasn't for Ning Bai's eyes to dodge quickly, I was afraid that the knife would be cut off from his shoulder. But no matter how fast you are, you can't dodge it...... The back of Ning Bai's hand holding the medicine box was cut with an extremely deep opening.

Seeing that Ning Bai was dodging it, the guard's attack again became more and more rapid. I saw that he changed his knife-wielding move, his eyes were fierce, and he stabbed Ning Bai effortlessly...... The attack came violently, with her little grinding and pricking needles, plus being injured, where could she hide!

She spared her life because her life was desperately saved by her father's master. She was not afraid of death, but she never expected that she would die at the hands of Ying Qi!

Although the guard was fast, he was not as fast as Shi Yan. Shi Yan glanced at her cold eyes, her action was fleeting, she neatly knocked out the knife in the guard's hand, broke the guard's hand mercilessly, and finally kicked the root of the wall one after another, and scolded coldly: "Who allowed you to pull out the knife privately!"

The guard was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, lying on the ground, extremely embarrassed, but still did not give up and said, "It's ...... adults."

"Dare to talk nonsense again!" Shi Yan decisively interrupted the guard's words, "Watch your tongue!" ”

When he heard this, the guard was silent and said no more. The rest of the attendants also retreated.

Ning Bai saw that everyone got out of the way, and he stayed for a short time, and when he left, he didn't bring any emotion, and said something flatly: "Lord Ying is the respect of the Taishi, and the humility of the minor officials of the Tai Doctor is divided according to the courtesy, and it should be the bridge with the Lord Ying to return to the bridge, and the road to return to the road ......."

After speaking, Ning Bai covered the back of his hand and resolutely left the Taishi Mansion.

After Ning Bai left, Ying Qi felt faint regret in his heart, such regret was like the regret when Nanchu was destroyed and Ah Xin's whereabouts were unknown......
