Chapter 385: Succession (25)

Qiao Shi saw what Meng Zhi wanted to say, sat on the chair and sighed, in the past two years, although she was strong, Meng Zhi had taught her many things that she had never learned.

She is no different from her teacher.

"Brother Meng, I don't have this thing anymore, it's better to stay with you than with others, can you watch the soldiers in the army die because of ineffective treatment?"

Meng Zhi couldn't say anything to refute in the end, and silently put the porcelain vase back.

……

Capital.

Ning Yang stood at the top of the city wall and watched the distance, his eyes shining brightly.

In the past two years, the thin young man has become much taller, his body is more stable, and his bearing is unparalleled, who would have thought that this young man was still in the cold palace two years ago.

Yuan Mu on the side appeared beside him quietly, compared to two years ago, Yuan Mu's figure was much more illusory, and he was half a head shorter than the young man in front of him.

looked at Ning Yang's serious appearance, but sighed helplessly.

"What kind of benefits did you say that girl promised you to make you so desperate."

In the past two years, Ningyang has worked diligently and desperately to absorb knowledge, just to govern the country better.

Outsiders don't know, so they only think that this emperor is really a Ming Jun, but Yuan Mu knows that this throne is what the girl wants, and since she speaks, it is impossible to give it up.

Ning Yang turned around, and his originally deep and indifferent eyes fell on Yuan Mu, leaving only a touch of softness.

"Yuan Mu, she promised me to give you back a real body."

Ning Yang slowed down his tone, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Indulging in Ning Yang's deep and gentle gaze, Yuan Mu was stunned, and quickly avoided Ning Yang's gaze in a panic.

"Don't talk nonsense, I've been dead for hundreds of years, so what...... How can you ......?"

Yuan Mu's lips trembled and he couldn't say those two words.

Although he has been dead for hundreds of years, he has been trapped in the cold palace for hundreds of years.

He watched with his own eyes as the decaying country gradually regained its vitality and became stronger and stronger.

He wanted to live and witness the more prosperous side of the country.

Looking at Yuan Mu's trembling appearance, Ning Yang held Yuan Mu's shoulders tightly, and the white gloves on his hands emitted a faint light, as if the person in front of him was not a ghost, but a real person.

"Yuan Mu."

Ning Yang's voice was hoarse, and he looked directly into Yuan Mu's eyes.

"All I have is you."

Yuan Mu's body was shocked, and he finally fled, not daring to look directly at the eager emotion in the young man's eyes.

He has been dead for hundreds of years, how dare he hope for anything.

……

The mighty army finally arrived in the capital half a month before the New Year, and the emperor led hundreds of officials to greet him at the gate of the city.

As the army slowly entered the city, the men on the leading horses came into view.

Ning Yang was dressed in black armor, only revealing a petite face, and his skin was a healthy wheat color, just a glance at it, but it made the people on the side like a sea of corpses and blood.

The emperor greeted him personally, Ning Yang jumped off the war horse, looked at the young man in front of him, and the corners of his mouth finally raised a smile.

"The sons and daughters meet the queen mother......"

Ningyang paid a respectful visit, and the hundreds of officials behind him also paid homage.

Qiao Shi helped people up, and then there was the audience of all the soldiers, and the sound of tremors came out wave after wave......

Returning triumphantly is a reward for meritorious deeds, Qiao Shi ignored this step and returned directly to the palace.

The reward that deserves the reward, and the reward that deserves the punishment......

It's almost cut by Qiao Shi, but there is nothing to be punished.

Even the high-level prisoners captured by the enemy country have been almost cut down, if it weren't for the fact that some high-level people could exchange for a huge amount of silver, I was afraid that the Queen Mother would cut them all and leave them behind.

is also because of the emperor's connivance with the queen mother, so that the people in the army do not dare to offend Qiao Shi at all, after all, you can't afford to offend someone if you don't agree with each other.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

As soon as Qiao Shi came back, he saw Jin Qing crying and rushing over, and then hurriedly called for water to bathe Qiao Shi.

Although he has not returned to the palace for a long time, the palace is well maintained.

Since Ningyang succeeded to the throne, she has become the queen mother and has moved to Cining Palace.

After a simple wash and rest, tonight's celebration banquet is about to begin, and Qiao Shi changed into the dress of the queen mother, which is not too cumbersome.

Qiao Shi and Ning Yang went to the main hall together, and when it was big, everyone else had already arrived.

Qiao Shi sat lazily on the throne, his eyes scanning the various people in His Highness, lacking interest.

Even if there is a wave of fresh blood in the court, it still seems a little stubborn to Qiao Shi, such as ......

Fill the harem.

But at the moment, no one dares to mention anything about filling the harem at this time, but the thoughts of the noble ladies who came up to perform one by one are not all in the emperor's place.

Qiao Shi rewarded one or two if he saw it pleasing to the eye, and he didn't say anything if he didn't like it, so it was very bland.

Finally, the song and dance performance was over, Qiao Shi took a sip of thin wine, Ning Yang glanced at Qiao Shi, and then began to say some words of condolence, or some things about meritorious deeds.

Qiao Shi was extremely bored to watch.

Everyone below looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting lazily on the top position, and none of them dared to show their thoughts in their hearts.

If the emperor's methods are relatively gentle, the queen mother is really the devil.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of Duanguo came to meet ......"

With a long announcement, the envoys of Duanguo entered the palace.

This time it was the eldest prince with the highest prestige in Duanguo, and the most favored seventh princess.

In addition, there is a dancing girl, who is generally presented to Ningyang as an object.

The dancer came up and offered a very charming dance, and the sons and brothers in the palace blushed one by one.

Ning Yang didn't blink his eyes, and directly rewarded the dancing girl to a courtier.

This scene made the faces of the envoys of Duanguo change, but the eldest prince didn't blink his eyes and didn't seem to care.

After the envoy sat down, there were all kinds of boring negotiations, and in the end, somehow, it was actually pulled on Qiao Shi.

The seventh princess stared at Qiao coquettishly, but her eyes flashed with resentment.

After all, several high-ranking officials of Duanguo died under Qiao Shi's knife, and it is said that there are also people from the mother clan of the Seven Princesses.

"I heard that the queen mother of your country has a big knife that makes the tiger and the tiger mighty, I don't know if I can see it now?"

As soon as the Seventh Princess's words came out, the eldest prince's face changed for the first time, he glared at the Seventh Princess fiercely, and was about to get up to make amends, but saw that the people on the stage only raised their eyelids slightly and looked at General Meng Zhi.

"General Meng, what do you say if I take a nest of the royal family of Duanguo?"

As soon as the words came out, the entire hall was silent, and General Meng even echoed the Queen Mother.

"At that time, the country will be in chaos, and it is the best time to attack."

The two of them said casually, but the envoys of Duanguo completely changed their faces.

The eldest prince hurriedly stood up to apologize, but heard Emperor Daning speak: "I heard that the purpose of the seventh princess is to make peace, I feel that she is so rude and willful, I am afraid that she is not worthy of my good son of Daning." ”

Duanguo Envoy: "......"
