Ji Xianzhi asked again, "So... What should I do with this meal? ”

There was another cold voice inside, "It's down." ”

When Ji Xianzhi heard this, his eyes showed some helplessness, and then he was about to respond, when he heard another voice from inside, "Slow." You put it outside. Let the chips fall where they may. ”

Ji Xianzhi took the meal, looked at the figure reflected on the window screen with some surprise, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yes." ”

"Uncle Ji, you go down first. You don't have to stand guard in front of the door anymore. The person inside said indifferently. Ji Xianzhi knew that Ning Nan just wanted to stay alone quietly at this time, so he retreated.

Ning Nan in the study listened to the movement outside, and after confirming that Ji Xianzhi had left, he sat down in front of the desk and stared at the bamboo scroll placed on it for a while, and finally quietly put down the latch, pushed the door open, stared at the meal placed in the corner outside the house, thought for three seconds, quickly picked it up, bolted the door again, and returned to the front of the lacquer table to sit down.

He touched the still warm pottery bowl, and a slight smile appeared on his gloomy face.

He opened the lid of the bowl, and a glutinous fragrance came to his nose.

Ning Nan took a bite silently, the hot soup turned into a rich aroma in the mouth, the rice porridge was very soft and glutinous, he had never eaten this kind of soup, but for some reason there was always a familiar taste.

He silently drank a bowl of porridge alone, and his originally bad mood seemed to be better.

Jiang Chengjia returned to the Yuncheng Pavilion specially built for her before the wedding, and sat on a high platform erected in the courtyard to look at the pattern under the pavilion. At first glance, Ning Nan put a lot of thought into it and made it specially for her. She liked elegant places, and he made a special inquiry, apparently trying to please her. This courtyard could not have been built without the work of April. His thoughts about the Jiang clan have been in his heart since his brother became famous in the Western Frontier. Jiang Chengjia stared at him, and remembered what he had said to Emperor Wei in the Nangong this morning, and he was full of sadness, Qianshan waited aside, seeing that she was often distracted, she couldn't help but worry, "What's wrong with the girl?" ”

Her gloomy eyes moved slightly, and she said with some bitterness, "Qianshan... Perhaps, we will soon leave Luoyang. ”

Qian Shan was puzzled, "Why did the girl say this?" ”

Jiang Chengjia picked up the clay pot, poured a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, his eyes moved slightly, looking at the book pavilion opposite the high platform, his eyes were a little confused, "Emperor Wei and Ning Zheng are unwilling to spare him." ”

Qian Shan walked to Jiang Chengjia's side, sat down behind her diagonally and comforted, "Girl, don't worry, Qian Xun once calculated a hexagram in Nanyun Capital, and my uncle's life in this life has taken a turn for the better, and it will definitely not be the same as before." ”

Jiang Chengjia was silent, thinking about his thoughts, when he faintly heard a chaotic sound coming from the outer courtyard. She frowned and glanced at the sun as it set as it set itself.

Reflected in the sky, the glow was like scarlet blood, which stained the sky of Luoyang, just like this unpredictable human heart, which made people anxious.

Jiang Chengjia heard that the chaotic sound was getting more and more noisy, so he hurriedly ran down from the top of the high platform, leading the hem of his skirt, and Qianshan hurriedly followed. She walked to the corridor connected to the outer courtyard of the Yuncheng Pavilion and looked towards the main hall. I saw a group of black people hugging a man in an indigo curly robe walking towards the palace.

She hid behind the stone pillar and watched, and then saw that Ning Nan, who had been locking herself in the study, went to the front of the main hall at some point, and greeted the menacing person at this time, her face was very pale.

The person who came was none other than the regent Huai Wang Ning Zheng.

Ning Nan stepped forward, saluted humbly, and said a few words, "Why is my father here?" ”

His eyes were lowered, and there seemed to be a sneer in his eyes.

Ning Zheng didn't look at him, lifted the hem of his clothes with a cold face, went up to the hall, sat on the main seat, and said nothing.

"Father, what's wrong? What made my father so angry? Ning Nan only pretended not to know what Ning Zheng meant here, and asked softly.

Ning Zheng glanced at him, rolled his eyes, and said with a frosty face, "You, are you becoming more and more filial?" ”

Ning Nan trembled slightly, and lowered his head.

Ning Zheng snorted coldly and said, "What? You have saved the car and married the Jiang girl, so you don't even have the morning and dusk province that your children should have? In this way, what else do you have in your heart!? ”

For Ning Zheng's reprimand, Ning Nan was not surprised, and was very calm and indifferent, he bent over and thought about it for a while, then slowly got up, and said with a full face, "It's the son who is not filial, please punish my father." ”

"Yes, I do want to punish you." Ning Zheng's face was full of anger, and seeing Ning Nanwu's indifferent appearance, he immediately remembered Cao Xiu's eyes that always showed disdain for him, those eyes were bright and beautiful. The woman was arrogant and noble, and never took him seriously. Layers of anger erupted in his chest, and he immediately said to the little guy who was serving here, "Come on, take the family law!" ”

Ning Nan frowned lightly, looked at Ning Zheng, his eyes were full of incomprehension, mixed with a trace of disappointment, he asked with a pale face, "Father... Do you want to use the family law against your son for this reason? ”

"What? Could it be that Zhao'er doesn't think it's important to ask her father for peace? Do you still have the word 'filial piety' in your eyes? Do you think that if you have a Yegong Pavilion in your hands, a fine guard, and a Jiang clan, you can indulge in indulgence and have no father and brother? Ning Zheng stared at Ning Nanwu's face full of exotic divine resources, and the annoyance in his heart became more and more profound.

Ning Nan was silent, and when the little servant got the family method, he suddenly smiled coldly and knelt down towards Ning Zheng.

Ning Zheng looked at the sneer on his face, couldn't help but be angry, and couldn't calm down anymore, so he stood up straight, walked straight to the little guy with the family law, grabbed the five-foot-long ring, and hit Ning Nan's body hard. "You are so unfilial, you don't respect your father and brother, you don't abide by the way of kings and ministers, fathers and sons, and you don't know how to repent, you really lose the face of my Huai Wangfu!"

The black-painted ring plate fell heavily on his body, and a huge pain spread from his back to his whole body, Ning Nan gritted his teeth, and his originally iron-blue face became red because of the tight fit of his upper and lower jaws.

Ning Zheng seemed to be angry, but the subordinates of the Rui Wangfu obviously didn't know why the acting king was so magnificent, and he used almost all his strength to beat Ning Nan with the ring board fiercely, showing no mercy. Ning Nan's face turned red again from red to iron blue, and then from iron blue to pale. But from beginning to end, he didn't say a word, even though his eyes had turned red, he just gritted his teeth and didn't cry out in pain.

Ning Zheng seemed to be unable to stop, constantly whipping him. He was beaten and fell to the cold porcelain floor, but Ning Zheng roared angrily to let him continue to kneel.

Ning Nan tried hard to prop himself up from the ground, but he couldn't move because his lower body was almost numb from the beating. He trembled, and finally got up and continued to kneel, but Ning Zheng waved a board to knock him down.

His sword wound a month ago had not healed, and this time he was beaten so badly that the blood that had been stagnant in his heart could not be controlled, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood violently, and the whole person lay on the ground in embarrassment.

He gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up here, but Ning Zheng didn't even give him this opportunity. He tried to hold himself up so that he wouldn't faint from the pain. But Ning Zheng was beaten as if he was crazy.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly noticed that something soft was pressing up behind him, he woke up suddenly, looked up with a bloodless face, and found that Jiang Chengjia rushed out at some point and blocked in front of him.

The ring struck her twice. I only heard her snort, knelt beside him, protected him with her body, grabbed the ring board in Ning Zheng's hand, and said with a panicked face, "Father, is this going to beat Erlang to death?" Why did my father move such a big liver fire? ”

Ning Nan listened to her voice, gasped lowly, and her consciousness became a little clearer.

Ning Zheng saw Jiang Chengjia rushing out of nowhere, so he came back to his senses, stopped the raised ring, and stood in front of her, a little sluggish.

He saw that Ning Nanwei's dark blue robe was printed with a dark color, and it was already a blur of flesh and blood, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he immediately wanted to help him, but he stopped moving because of Cao Xiu's face in his mind.

He stood in front of Jiang Chengjia and didn't move for a long time. After a pause, he slammed the ring board in his hand to the ground and left angrily. even left the purpose of his trip behind and left in a hurry from the Rui Palace.

Jiang Chengjia rubbed the hot pain on his shoulder, leaned against his side, and called out in a panic, "Erlang..."

Ning Nan's legs and buttocks were in unbearable pain. He muffled his voice and tried to support himself with his hands, but he couldn't bear the pain and lay down in embarrassment. Jiang Chengjia looked at the wet patch behind him, and there was a bloody smell in the air, which reddened her eyes. Seeing him like this, her heart was like a knife. "Two... Jiro. Her eyes were dripping with tears, and she said in a trembling voice, "You..."

She didn't know what to say, but she felt sorry for his appearance.

But Ning Nan didn't accept her affection, obviously she didn't have the strength, but she still pushed her away violently, and moved forward with her hands to support her body. It wasn't until he held on to the stone pillar that could support him to stand up that he stopped moving.

Jiang Chengjia sat on the floor sluggishly, just watching him move himself step by step, and left her side without a word. He slowly got up from the ground on his own. His bun was already loose by now, but he still straightened his back, even if it couldn't be straightened at all.

He struggled to move towards his Qi Tingxuan. Ignoring Jiang Chengjia, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, was already in tears.

She was stunned for a long time, thinking of the injuries on his body, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face, and ran towards Ning Nan's worried Qi Tingxuan.
