Chapter 163 Fate
"Yuan Yi!"
Jiang Ningqiu's expression suddenly panicked, and he immediately ran over to help him up, with a thick worry in his eyes, "Yuan Yi, are you okay?" β
It seemed like I hadn't seen her worry so much about her in years.
Zhou Yuanyi's heart warmed, smiled indifferently, and then shook his head.
After straightening up, he wanted to go over again, Jiang Ningqiu put his hand on his arm and wrist, "It's late." β
Jiang Wei's cold eyes here touched the black number that appeared on the white paperβforty-four.
Suddenly, her mind went blank, and then a mouthful of bright red blood spat out of her mouth, which was shocking, and her body shook for a moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Ningqiu stepped forward quickly to support her, and glanced at the words on the paper, and her face changed greatly.
It turned out to be black letters!
The ancient books of the Wu tribe record that the lifespan of a normal person should be blood red, and the black color represents the reduction of lifespan.
As for the reason, it is because he has done something that is not tolerated by heaven.
What Heaven does not tolerate is by no means the murder and arson that is usually said, but tampering with the mission of Heaven.
This cause will not appear for hundreds of years, so this cause is almost non-existent.
It is very likely that Xiao Qingnan's life loss is what Chu Anguo said in his letter.
What kind of bloodline will be reduced by the Wu Clan?
Jiang Wei couldn't hold it anymore, her eyes closed, leaned on Jiang Ningqiu's shoulder and fainted.

The entrance to the palace
After waiting for Jiang Wei for a long time, Xiao Qingnan was a little worried, but at this moment, the city gate was closed, and it was difficult for him to enter again.
After thinking about it, with Zhou Yuanyi's protection, nothing will happen to Jiang Wei.
Still thinking about the two little ancestors in the mansion, Xiao Qingnan glanced at the closed palace door, turned around and walked quickly towards the mansion.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard the cries of the two children, and quickly rushed to the source of the sound.
Aunt Xue and Lu Ya were holding a child and shaking gently, Aunt Xue listened to the hurried footsteps and turned to look at Xiao Qingnan.
Under the light of the lantern, he could clearly see his slight breathing, and the hair on his sideburns no longer fit behind his ears, but hung down his cheeks, covering the hard edges and corners.
His face softened a little because of this, and he seemed to have more humanity and fireworks than he usually was.
"Master, you can be counted as back, the young lady and the little boy didn't know why just now, and suddenly they started crying."
Xiao Qingnan stretched out his hand and hugged Chu Wanqing and Chu Junnan, "Don't cry." "I feel a little distressed when I look at their swollen eyes.
Smelling the familiar smell, the two children were reassured, their cries gradually weakened, and one of them lay on one shoulder, and after a while fell asleep again.
β¦β¦
On the fifth watch of the next day, the sky was neither dark nor bright.
The Royal Palace, the Golden Luang Palace.
On the dragon chair, Zhou Yuanhui wore a crown on his head, the bead curtain covered half of his face, his eyes swept over Xiao Qingnan, and his thin lips opened slightly: "The Chu family has served the country for meritorious service and has been rewarded." But the loss of Liangcheng is true. β
"The ancients said: The debt of the father and the son are repaid, and it is justified. Although the old general Chu and you are separated by one more generation, I remember that the old general Chu has served the country for many years, and he can barely offset the merits, and I will not pursue this matter. β
After all, Zhou Yuanyi's words yesterday made him jealous, the Chu family has heavy troops, and Zhou Yuanyi has a share of the holy decree of the princess in his hand, and if he wants to take away his throne, wouldn't it be justified.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Qingnan came out of the queue and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Yuanhui's eyes were covered by the bead curtain, and he couldn't see his expression very clearly at the moment.
However, he still understands the truth of giving a slap and a candy.
He reassured: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry about the title, if there is merit in the future, I will make up for it, but the other rewards will not be less." β
"Nian is meritorious in Aiqing, giving two pairs of jade Ruyi, several horses of silk, 100 acres of fertile land, and 10,000 taels of gold."
Zhou Shuli couldn't help frowning, the position of general has always been hereditary, and whether or not to issue a holy decree actually has little impact.
Since this is the case, why is it not generous, issue a decree to win over Xiao Qingnan.
Even if it can't be wooed, it won't arouse Xiao Qingnan's speculation.
Why not!
What's more, although the loss of Liangcheng is said to be a mistake in the jurisdiction of Chu Anguo, it is no wonder that Chu Anguo is at the root of the problem.
Xiao Qingnan doesn't matter, if he hadn't turned the tide later, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to sit in a high position now.
How can the merits and demerits be offset!
It's stupid!
The intention to cut power is too obvious!
If he is not shocked, but waits for the opportunity, is ready to go, and will never let him have any chance to turn over.
It's just that he didn't expect the more obvious to be behind. Then he listened to Zhou Yuanhui and said: "Aiqing has been tired for a few days, I deeply regret it, and the affairs of the frontier will be temporarily taken over by me." β
This is simply a naked talisman!
The ministers of the court frowned invisibly in their hearts, the emperor was frightened by Emperor Zhen yesterday, could it be that even his brain was scared away?
is so anxious to collect the talisman, for fear that people will not understand what he means, or is he sure that others will not resist again?
What's more, the Chu family is not at fault, so what reason does he have to collect the right to take the army?
If they anger the Chu family, is it difficult to let these old bones and weak bones kill the enemy?
Or let someone like him who only knows how to talk on paper take the expedition in person?
But no one dared to speak out at this moment.
Xiao Qingnan didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of his words, "The minister thanked the lord Longen, and after the next dynasty, the minister asked the housekeeper to send the excerpt of the frontier to the emperor." β
"It just so happens that the minister has a real headache to deal with those things."
β¦β¦
After the next court, the ministers walked out of the Jinluan Palace, their expressions were still a little trance, what they had just experienced.
The emperor not only did not take away Xiao Qingnan's power, but Xiao Qingnan sued the emperor's henchman Jin Jiaming.
forced the emperor to demote Jin Jiaming's official position by one level and became the left squire of the household.
Although Jin Jiaming is still the boss of the household department, he is not the boss of the sixth department.
However, this matter is a good thing for several princes, and they are thinking about how to install their own people to run for the head of the household.
β¦β¦
Xiao Qingnan didn't know Zhou Yuanyi's residence, and asked the palace maid all the way to find Ningqiu Palace.
Zhou Yuanyi was sitting on the stone bench under the peach tree, his brows furrowed, flipping through the book with one hand, as if looking for something.
"Emperor Zhen, General Chu is here."
At this time, the little father-in-law outside the door walked in and called softly.
Looking up at Xiao Qingnan, who was dressed in dark purple court clothes, he breathed a sigh in his heart, and he couldn't wait to beat him! He's just a baby bump, and because of this stinky boy, he has suffered a lot.
But when he thought of anything, he didn't have a seizure, and said coldly: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Is it possible that I can still eat her. β
"I don't feel at ease when I don't see her." Xiao Qingnan said in a deep voice.
Zhou Yuanyi snorted coldly, closed the book, put it face down, and put it on the stone table, "She accidentally felt the wind chill yesterday, which is quite serious, and she can't go back to your house in recent days." β
Xiao Qingnan's tone revealed a deep worry: "How can you feel cold?" As he spoke, he walked inside.
Zhou Yuanyi moved in front of him, stopped him and said, "She will be resting, don't disturb her." β
