Ning Hong lowered his eyes, the young man's long eyelashes, with complicated emotions, he didn't look at the Queen Mother, but said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother is." However, for so many years, the queen mother has always been jealous of the regent, but he has not been disrespectful to me and the queen mother, has he? ”

Empress Dowager Xi couldn't control her sneer, her arm was trembling slightly, she pointed in the direction of the Regent's Mansion and said, "There is no disrespect? The mourning family asks you, except for Situ Mayu, Taiwei Qin Hao, and Sikong Wang Han, how many of the rest of the civil and military officials in the court are at your disposal? ”

Seeing that Ning Hong was silent, the Empress Dowager Xi said again: "Ma Yu and Wang Han were your father's cronies when the emperor was there, after you inherited the throne, how many people were really assisting you?" Hong'er, this Xiliang country was left to you by your father, not to him Ning Yi! ”

Xu is the deceased emperor, there was a trace of choked in the voice of the Empress Dowager Xi, Ning Hong was also a little angry, but seeing the Empress Dowager Xi like this, her expression eased a lot, and her tone softened a little: "The things in the past were also discussed by us, although those people acted according to orders, but they did not only obey Ning Yi's orders, and if the queen mother was really so jealous of him, the more she couldn't let him leave Beijing, right?" ”

Jiang Li'er looked at Ning Hong in disbelief, and she didn't expect that such words would come from Ning Hong's mouth

But what made her even more desperate and struggling was indeed the next words of the Empress Dowager Xi: "Since this is the case, it is good to get rid of this henchman in one fell swoop, and the affairs of this mutual market will be handed over to him, and if it is done, it will be the regent who holds his own merits, is dissatisfied with the new emperor, and supports the army to stand on his own." If it's not good, it's bad—"

Jiang Li'er understood in an instant, if the matter of the mutual market was handed over to Ning Yi to handle, this matter was related to the friendship between Xiliang and Dali, with Ning Yi's ability, he would definitely be able to do it well, support the army and stand on his own, what kind of crime is this.

The Queen Mother of the West is moved with murderous intentions-

She knelt on the edge of the Empress Dowager Xi, and begged: "The queen mother doesn't want it, he won't, I beg you-"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Xi didn't pay attention to herself, she turned her head to ask Ning Hong and said, "Your Majesty, do you believe that Ning Yi is right, he has never had a disobedient heart, you are clear——"

However, the response to himself was also silent, Jiang Li'er didn't expect that things would eventually turn out like this, the Empress Dowager Xi frowned, and ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, bring the county lord down, and pass on the will of the mourning family, Prince Kang Ning Yu is shocked and elegant, the elegant person is deep, and the mourning family is very happy, and now the county lord will be married to Er, and the marriage will be completed on an auspicious day." ”

Ning Hong said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, you were also-"

Empress Dowager Xi looked stubborn, waved her hand and interrupted Ning Hong's words: "That was before, now the mourning family wants to get rid of Ning Yi, and they are the only ones in the court, Prince Kang is a powerful arm——"

She didn't hide the calculation in her heart at all, looking at Jiang Li'er's gradually lost eyes, she finally couldn't bear it, and instructed Li Rendao: "You personally send the county lord back, and you are not allowed to leave the palace without the will of the mourning family during the period." ”

Li Ren responded, helped Jiang Li'er, who had lost her mind, up from the ground, and persuaded softly: "County master, the slave will send you back to the palace." ”

Soon, two decrees were sent from the palace, one to the post station and the other to the regent's palace.

At this time, in the post house, the old princess was kneeling in front of a tablet reverently, and wrote: The position of Ning Shicheng, Prince Zhongyong

There was a sound of footsteps approaching behind her, she didn't look back, just looked at the strokes on the tablet with affection, and the person behind her gradually approached, knelt down beside her, took out three incense sticks from under the shrine, and enshrined them in front of the tablet.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Mother, it's done." ”

The old princess remained silent, like a statue that had been solidified, for a long time, so long that Ning Yu thought that her mother would not talk to her anymore, and the old princess said with relief: "Yu'er, you have finally done it, we are walking in this step, we have really been planning for many years." ”

Ning Yu nodded and said: "Yes, the child knows the hardships of his mother and father, but although the will to marry has come down, if Ning Yi does not leave Beijing for a day, our plan will have the possibility of failure." ”

The old princess looked at her son with some pity, his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the old prince who had died, the old princess sighed infinitely in her heart, she said softly: "Yu'er, don't worry, since the will to marry has been made, it is the Queen Mother Xi who has a murderous intention, I still know about her, she has been a regent for so many years, and she is not the kind of woman who is kind." ”

Ning Yu nodded, personally helped his mother and the futon up, and then sneered: "She and the old emperor are such ungrateful people, Ning Yi has made great contributions to Xiliang for so many years, but nothing else, it is the mutual market, which was something that the old emperor did not promote when he was in power." ”

The old princess pulled up a touch of ridicule at the corner of her lips, looked at the tablet of Prince Kang against the candle flame, took a deep breath and said: "The family is cold, I didn't believe it before, I always thought that everything in the first emperor was exchanged for your father's life, in order to prevent him from being jealous, your father was willing to keep the fief, but he didn't want to do such a thing, they still didn't want to let go of our family, your father's death was unknown, as soon as your father died, those ministers in the court thought of a way to take back our fief, although the fief was kept, but the tax was changed, We're still going to snort—"

Ning Yu held the old princess's hand tightly, the hatred in his eyes had been hidden by tears a lot, and he said in a deep voice: "Mother, our plan for so many years will definitely succeed." ”

The old princess wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up and walked outside with Ning Yu.

When He Xi received the news, he only felt that things were a little strange, and the housekeeper saw that her face was not good, and he only thought that she was worried about Ning Yi, so he comforted: "Sister, don't panic, the prince is just a routine, and he can come back in less than half a month, and the prince cares about his sister so much, he will definitely return home before his sister gives birth, and my sister just needs to rest." ”

He Xi waved his hand and asked, "Is the prince back home?" ”

The housekeeper shook his head and said: "I haven't returned to the house yet, although I just went to Xizhou this time, but after all, it is the boundary of the Great Calendar, Your Majesty arranged for the soldiers and horses under Captain Qin to transfer some manpower to the prince, I think the prince is going to select people, maybe Hei can come back." ”

Who knows, before He Xi waited for Ning Yi to come back, he saw Li Ren beside the Empress Dowager Xi.

Li Ren said with a smile when he saw her: "Sister Mu, the old princess brought in some fine silk fabrics from the south, and the queen mother looked very good, so she rewarded a few horses, and thought that you still have a few months to give birth, if this mulberry silk fabric is cut for the child A few clothes, I think it is also excellent, but the style needs to be selected by my sister." ”

He Xi just sits, as if she didn't hear Li Ren's words, just sat upright, silent, but her thoughts were running rapidly, she always felt that things were a little strange, there was a problem in the mutual market, although Ning Yi was sent to go, there were already some big problems, and the matter was urgent, and now the Empress Dowager Xi summoned her to the palace again, almost no need to think about it, He Xi also knew the powerful relationship.

Li Ren saw that she hadn't returned for a long time, so he was a little anxious, but now that the regent hadn't left Beijing, he had to say patiently: "The queen mother is still waiting for Sister Mu in the palace, and the sister will go with the slave?" ”

He Xipi smiled and said: "The Queen Mother, her old man, really cares about the courtiers, but I want to come to Gonggong Li also knows, I am not feeling well these days, I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill the wish of the Queen Mother, as for this fabric, if it is rewarded by the Queen Mother, it is grace, if it is not rewarded, I will not complain, and the prince is naturally too." ”

Li Ren's face was ugly, he had always known that the regent's palace was favored by the regent, but he didn't want to openly disobey the will of the queen mother, could the regent really have a rebellious heart?

But whether he wants to rebel or not, he can't help it now.

Li Ren's eyes flashed with cold light, and he glanced at the attendant on the side, and the attendant waved his hand behind him, and several powerful grandmothers came forward to persuade: "Sister Mu, this woman is pregnant, and in the later stage, she will always be a little tired, but she also needs to move around often, if she always nests in the house like this, I am afraid that she will suffer when she finally gives birth." ”

Ru Zhi stepped forward, blocked in front of He Xi, and then scolded: "Bold slave, clumsy, if you hurt our sister, see how you explain to our prince, Gonggong Li, what do you mean by this, is it that you came to the regent palace to kidnap people openly?" ”

Li Ren's face was ugly, his hateful teeth were itching, and he was thinking about how to deal with it, when he saw He Xi stand up and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Ruyi was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about much, so he said in a low voice: "Sister-"

He Xi motioned for her to be silent, and then said in a voice that could be heard by both of them: "Don't worry, I naturally know it in my heart." ”

Yes, she figured it out, this was deliberate by Ning Yi, what kind of place is this regent palace? Li Renneng came in with a swagger but no one stopped him, and the housekeeper who had always been conscientious was no trace at this moment, so it was clear that everything today was arranged by Ning Yi in advance.

He knew that the Empress Dowager Xi was going to summon her into the palace, but what was the purpose of entering the palace?

Suddenly, a smile flashed in her mind, she was so delicate, with the shyness of a girl, Jiang Li'er, yes, it must be because of Jiang Li'er.

Many chaotic thoughts were intertwined in her mind, she shook her head slightly, let Ruyi serve her simple change of clothes, and obediently followed Li Ren into the palace.

The carriage traveled very fast all the way, but it was very stable, obviously because he was afraid of He Xi's body, and the carriage was padded with thick and fine felt, and there was no bump in the slightest.
