CHAPTER XXXI
Tonight was different from the past, and the Emperor's Sacred Heart said happily, "Flat!" He also instructed everyone not to be polite, just happy.
Wen Su sat back in his seat, Ning Bai sat on his seat, quietly looking for the guy called Ji Ruo, Ji Ruo didn't find it, but saw the Second Highness sitting on his slope with his back to him, Ning Bai silently buried his head lower.
The emperor has been talking to the Wuman Prince, and Ning Bai has also seen this Witch Barbarian Prince, so he will avoid it in the future. He laughed heartily with the emperor and spoke freely, although he didn't know what kind of person he was, how could the prince who could control the government of the Wuman Dynasty be simple. Next to him sat a girl, who looked at the witch lord with joy, and smiled with eyes crooked like crescent moons, and eyes full of sincerity and harmlessness.
Wen Xu sat down closer at some point, leaned over and asked, "Are you looking at Sikong Ling?"
Ning Bai turned his head, "That girl, called Sikong Ling?"
Wen Su suddenly became serious, "Don't look at her smiling so close at this time, her ruthlessness is incomparable." I heard that her biological mother died at her hand. ”
Ning Bai retracted his gaze, secretly lowered his head, and drank tea to suppress his shock.
In the hall, the vocal music is melodious, intoxicating, and the dancers dance gracefully, making people obsessed. The candlestick was changed several times before everyone knew it, and tonight's Suiyang City was brightly lit, if you don't pay close attention, you won't feel that it's too late. Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", which startled everyone, and the dark night sky was completely illuminated in an instant, followed by several loud noises, which attracted the people in the hall to put on their robes and go outside the hall to see the excitement. Fireworks are set off from the highest castle tower in the center of the city, and the night sky is constantly filled with colorful stars.
Ning Bai had a few drinks tonight, and the hour was not early, so he felt sleepy. After saying goodbye to Wen Su, he clarified his words to the palace maid beside the queen, and then left the main hall.
She was alone with the lantern, her collar tightened, and in the dead of night, it was time to think. During the days she was alone in the palace, she followed closely the situation of people entering and leaving the palace. Those inner aunts and aunts will keep an eye on her after receiving her money, and every time there is a new person in the palace, or someone who will leave the palace, she will be asked to go over and take a look, and no one has the word "Mu" on her shoulder, which is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Rong Yu has passed away, and she has no trace to be found, so she has to rely on her modest strength to find a needle in a haystack in the deep palace.
She clutched the thin stick with the lantern hanging tightly, and suddenly, someone put his hand on her wrist, and her heart was startled, and before she could look up to see someone, there was already a familiar magic sound in her ears, "My concubine, let me find it easily......"
Ning Bai was so frightened that she threw off the lantern and escaped from his shackles, leaning against the palace wall, and said tremblingly: "Why are you ...... again" She swore that she would never take chances next time.
Jiruo approached her funny, leaned against the palace wall uninhibitedly, looked down at her, and pretended to be aggrieved, "You don't keep your promise and abandon me." ”
Although Ning Bai was frightened, she still had her senses, she raised her head and retorted, "Nonsense! I never promised you anything! "The person in front of him is a cunning and charming male fox!
Ji Ruo stared straight at her and said leisurely, "If I say yes, you have." Reaching out and patting Ning Bai's wrinkled clothes on her shoulders, he looked at her seriously, "I'll treat you well." ”
Ning Bai was stunned, feeling both aggrieved and aggrieved, he took a step back and discussed with him, "I'll give you all my monthly salary, you can let me go......"
Ji Ruo's body suddenly froze, his eyes froze, and he hadn't heard such innocent words of bribery for too long. Then he hugged her tightly in his arms, smiling with relief, but there was a light and inconspicuous tear stain in the corner of his eye, "How can I let you go again......"
Hearing this, Ning Bai pushed Ji Ruo away violently, angry, "You...... You are quite unreasonable and take advantage of people's danger! "Since there is no need to discuss, thirty-six plans are the best plan, she doesn't believe that there are so many twists and turns in the palace, he has just arrived, are you afraid that she can't get rid of it?
Ning Bai turned around with a "boom", and was about to run, but if she reached out easily, she grabbed Ning Bai's collar, so that she could not escape.
"Let go!" Is it really when she would rather be small and short, weak and have no temper?
"Ahem! Ahem...... "Suddenly, someone's coughing extinguished the fire of war that was about to break out between the two.
Ning Bai heard the sound and saw that the candlelight was faint, and he saw a figure supporting the palace wall, coughing non-stop, and looking at it, it was actually the Second Highness!
Ning Bai knew Helian Jianyi's body, and suddenly became nervous, she kept patting Ji Ruo's hand that grabbed her collar before Ji Ruo let go. She trotted to Helian Jinyi's side and saw the blood on the corner of the mouth of the Second Highness, "Second Highness, did you vomit blood?"
Helian Jinyi smiled and raised his hand to wipe away the bloodstains, "It's worrying Imperial Doctor Ning." ”
Ning Bai frowned, and stretched out his hand to help Helian Jinyi, "Why are you alone, Xu Feng?" ”
"Xu Feng took leave with me and left first."
Ning Bai couldn't help complaining, "This Xu Feng, knowing your body, even left you alone!" ”
Helian Jinyi coughed twice, looking extremely weak, "Imperial Doctor Ning, can you send me back?"
"Yes." Ning Bai was small, and put Helian Jinyi's hand on his shoulder, so that Helian Jinyi could support it.
In Ji Ruo's eyes, Ning Bai supported the second hall and left step by step. If it was weak, the legs that pretended to tremble, but they stepped on the ground steadily.
Ning Bai thought that he had finally sent Helian Jinyi back to the Zhengqing Palace, rested on the couch, added an open robe to him, and put the stove in the palm of his hand. At this time, I saw Xu Feng coming back.
But as soon as Xu Feng entered the house, he saw Imperial Physician Ning looking at him with resentment, and asked, "Where have you been?"
Xu Feng threw a look for help at His Second Highness, only to see His Second Highness tilt his head indifferently and cough a few times, he had never seen Imperial Physician Ning staring at him coldly, he ...... Somewhat scared......
"Imperial Doctor Ning, I'm ......" Xu Feng suddenly felt that he couldn't explain it.
"Guard Xu, in his position, seek his own government, let him do his duty, you have been loyal to His Royal Highness for so long, don't you even understand such a simple truth? Let's go, don't even leave anyone waiting! You know, he's vomiting blood today! If I hadn't seen it today, Your Second Highness would have ...... It has long been ......" The more Ning Bai spoke, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, and the more he didn't dare to think about it.
Xu Feng had an extremely aggrieved mentality, and sincerely made some dereliction of duty and reflection, so that Imperial Doctor Ning did not continue to scold him so much that he covered his face. It is clear that His Royal Highness has been walking in front of Imperial Physician Ning with his thoughts, and he pretended to cough weakly, and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth were just eating fruit that was as red as blood, and he never left, waiting for His Royal Highness Closely, and it was His Royal Highness who asked him to follow in secret, so he didn't have to show up!
"Imperial Doctor Ning, for some reason, I find that my body today is getting weaker and weaker than before." Helian Jin said in a vain manner.
When Ning Bai heard this, he naturally rushed to Helian Jinyi's side to probe his pulse, and Xu Feng quietly retreated in this gap.
"Is there any other discomfort?" Ning Bai asked carefully, but there were doubts in his heart, the pulse was stable, and there was no abnormality.
"Occasionally, I feel short of breath at night." Helian Jinyi quietly withdrew his hand. "Somehow tonight, I'm always uneasy, can I bother Imperial Doctor Ning to stay tonight?"
Ning Bai was a little hesitant, although there was no obstacle in the pulse, but the Second Highness felt uneasy, and it was difficult to guarantee that something would happen at night. She couldn't afford to pay for the life of His Royal Highness, so she complied.
The corners of Helian Jinyi's lips raised slightly, and he handed Ning Bai a cup of tea, "Thank you Imperial Doctor Ning." ”
Ning Bai thanked him, silently took the tea and drank it, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he fell unconscious......
On the other side of the same Zhengqing Palace, Mu Guixue knelt in the corner of the courtyard, burning incense and sacrificing to the sky, sacrificing the deceased father and the people of Southern Chu.
"Senior sister!" Rong Si trotted all the way over, "The man in the official uniform is here again tonight." ”
Mu Guixue was unmoved, and said lightly: "Last time, Aunt Yun said that it was the imperial doctor in the palace, who was sick for His Royal Highness."
Rong Si said thoughtfully: "But in the past, he always came and went from the back door of the Second Highness's residence, and he came and left at noon in the morning, and Xu Feng always escorted her carefully. Tonight, I saw him coming in through the main entrance with His Second Highness, and if it weren't for His Second Highness's cover, maybe I would have been able to see his appearance clearly. ”
Mu Guixue raised her eyebrows slightly, "You are so curious?"
Rong Si leaned closer and asked, "Senior sister, aren't you curious?" If it is a doctor, he will walk through the main gate to see His Highness's illness in a bright light, why should he hide it? Why don't I go and take a closer look?"
Mu Guixue frowned slightly, a little displeased, "Rong Si, this Second Highness is thoughtful and unpredictable, it's best not to provoke, we just have to do our own thing." ”
Rong Si pursed his lips aggrievedly, "I know, senior sister." ”
Mu Guixue stood up and patted the remnant snow on her dress, "How is the news outside the palace spreading?"
Rong Si nodded, "According to Senior Sister's orders, there are already a small number of people who are ready to move, and in a few more days, this news can reach the emperor's ears." ”
Like a deep well, what she wanted floated on the surface of the water, but it didn't help, and she could only get what she wanted if countless stones filled the bottom of the well.
It was getting colder and colder in the middle of the night, Helian Jin Yi sat in front of the window, Xu Feng sat opposite him, and only Ning Bai slept quietly on the bed, not moving at all.
Xu Feng said word by word: "Mu Chengji, the king of Southern Chuning, has only one daughter under his knees, and her name is Mu Xin. Later, it was entrusted by Qingyuan and renamed Ningbai. ”
Just now, Helian Jianyi really saw that the Mu character covered by the countless heavy fat powder on Ning Bai's shoulders looked so similar to Mu Guixue......
Xu Feng hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I heard that the princess of Nanchu is also looking for the imperial doctor of Ning, and the imperial master of the court, Lord Ying."
"Lord Ying? What does he have to do with Imperial Physician Ning?" Helian Jinyi asked.
Xu Feng responded: "Lord Ying, is the apprentice of the original Xugu Taishi, he was sent to King Ning when he was a child, and became the righteous son of King Ning, and he is also the Taiyi Ning...... Childhood...... Later, I had to respond to the cooperation of the adults inside and outside, and my Northern Liang was able to capture Southern Chu and increase the country. ”
Helian Jinyi glanced at Ning Bai, who was sleeping peacefully, and said meaningfully: "How can you stop destroying the hatred of the country?"
