Tuoba Chen waved his hand and said, "Come in—"

Yue Ning didn't come alone, there was a person who was tied up by five flowers behind him, but this person was not from the Central Plains in appearance and clothing, and he didn't kneel when he saw the emperor, or Yue Ning kicked him hard at the crook of his knee, and he knelt down in pain.

Yue Ning said with trepidation: "Back to Your Majesty, this person was captured by the minister outside the Xianwang Mansion last night, and more than ten of his accomplices are sneaky and suspicious. ”

This is an allusion that these people have something to do with the assassination of King Xian, Tuoba Yue looked at the emperor with an angry face, such shock, anger, can be fake and true.

Tuoba Chen said: "But have you found out the origin?" ”

Yue Ning said in a deep voice: "It's from Mobei. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked, and the envoy assassinated the prince of the Great Calendar, which was unheard of, but the person who didn't want to be tied up smacked fiercely on the ground: "Phew, our adults just let us see the situation, but we don't want to be framed, we are limited in number, and we are not familiar with the place, how can we make such a big move, I'm afraid you can't find out, push us out to carry the black pot——"

His original words were not particularly good, with some obscure accents, but everyone still understood his words.

However, no one dared to speak, but Tuoba Yue said: "Your Majesty, this Mobei often instigates small countries to disturb the border of my calendar, and the possibility of them cannot be completely ruled out, but the ministers and brothers saw those people last night, not to mention the large number of people, and the equipment is also very sophisticated, if Mobei really has the ability to hide these in the imperial city, it must be investigated, in order to protect the safety of His Majesty and all the adults——"

Those who did not know why, as soon as they heard that there might be thieves who might endanger their lives, they were naturally very afraid, and they said that they would thoroughly investigate the inside and outside of Beijing to prevent trouble.

Tuoba Chen coughed lightly and looked at Lan Zhili, Lan Zhili understood, just wanted to take a step forward, but didn't want to be preempted by Zhu Zhenyuan, Zhu Zhenyuan said: "Back to Your Majesty, if it is really the envoy of Mobei who is behind his back, it is the minister's dereliction of duty, the minister is responsible for escorting the envoy into Beijing, but he led the wolf into the room, and asked His Majesty to give the minister this opportunity, so that the minister can make meritorious contributions and find out the truth." ”

The words were earnest and clear, so that Tuoba Chen didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Tuoba Chen only felt that the corners of his lips were a little stiff, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, it's just that General Zhu is the commander-in-chief, and it is useless to investigate this matter, let Yue Ning assist from the side, and be sure to investigate this matter clearly——"

He glanced at Yue Ning lightly, Yue Ning's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "The minister obeys the order-"

After the court, Tuoba Chen returned to the imperial study, Fuqing stepped forward and poured a cup of tea, and said: "What Your Majesty asked the slaves to do, the servants have already done it, today Concubine De summoned Ning Yi, the regent of Xiliang, and the woman beside him into the palace, saying that it was a long time, and the queen mother took the ladies of the palace, and they also went over to accompany her." ”

Tuoba Chen took a sip of tea, letting the thick fragrance suppress the horror in his heart, and then said: "Yue Ning caught the people of Mobei, but there are people from Xiliang?" ”

Fuqing said in a deep voice: "Today, the slave is outside the Taihe Palace, and I heard Commander Yue say that the door of Xiliang's people is closed, let alone the guards, and not even a single mosquito has flown out." ”

Tuoba Chen snorted coldly and said: "Ning Yi is the regent, how can he be compared to that dull barbarian, but the more such a person, the more worrying it is, Fuqing, you go to spread my will, and say that there are assassins outside at this time, and Concubine De is homesick and timid, let them stay in the palace for a few days——"

Fuqing nodded and asked people to deliver the news.

When the news reached Shoukang Palace, except for Ning Yi and He Xi, the rest of the people looked confused, and Concubine De frowned and looked at Ning Yi, only to see him indifferently tasting tea, and it didn't seem to be surprised.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she said to the little eunuch who passed the decree: "You went back to the emperor, and said that his intentions, the mourning family and the Xiliang envoys have received it, and it is all up to the emperor to decide——"

It was Lan Ruo who was the first to react and said: "Our Majesty really respects the concubine in his heart, and he is so careful, this is the duty of the concubine, but it has alarmed His Majesty, and I am really ashamed——"

Concubine De smiled slowly, but the intimacy in that smile faded a little, and she said: "You and the emperor are husband and wife, whose mind is not the mind, the queen's words are polite." ”

The last thing Lan Xin wanted to listen to was to use the folk husband and wife as a metaphor for the emperor and queen, because once she was like this, she confirmed the identity of their concubines, so she smiled and said: "Although I said that, we are all His Majesty's courtiers, and this courtier can't say anything if he doesn't share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Concubine De said: "Speaking of courtiers, the most powerful person by His Majesty's side is Prime Minister Lan Cheng, who will definitely be able to solve problems for the emperor." ”

But I don't want to make a prophecy.

Li'er sat on the side with an innocent face, tilting her head and frowning from time to time, as if she couldn't understand the sword light and sword shadow in their words, and more often, her attention was focused on He Xi's body.

Everyone laughed for a while, and Concubine De sent everyone back on the grounds that the queen was pregnant and should not be too tired, and the concubines got up in turn to say goodbye, He Xi walked at the end, she politely nodded in the direction of Ning Yi and Jiang Li'er, and left.

Ning Yi and Jiang Li'er were left alone.

Ning Yi still looked impassive, but Jiang Li'er followed He Xi away, and Concubine De's eyebrows were a little solemn, but fortunately, this time she came and was also a child who she grew up watching, so she said softly: "What does Yi'er think about this incident?" ”

Ning Yi put down the cup and glanced at Jiang Li'er, as if she was worried that if she said too much, it would scare her, so she said in a relaxed voice: "It's good to change, in short, knowing that my nephew is here, I must be thoughtful about my aunt——"

Concubine De looked at the jade bracelet with wishful cloud pattern in her hand, and suddenly smiled: "What is not thoughtful, although the mourning family is from Xiliang, but after all, they are married to the first emperor, and now they are also old, what is not thoughtful, but you, you are the regent of Xiliang, and Li'er is the adopted daughter of my sister-in-law of the Queen Mother, the county lord of Xiliang, if you have any mistakes, how can it be good——"

Concubine De's expression seemed to be in a trance, Ning Yi glanced at Aunt Ruizhi who was serving on the side, Aunt Ruizhi understood, got up and said to Jiang Li'er: "The first time the county lord came to Dali, he didn't think about it and had a good look at it, so he was bound in this palace, it is better to follow the slave maid to the side hall of the treasury to see, if there are any new things that the county lord likes, choose one or two——"

Jiang Li'er is delicate and cute, and her temperament can't be stable, and when she heard Aunt Ruizhi say this, she naturally followed with joy.

After Jiang Li'er went down, Ning Yi said: "The fire in the Xianwang Mansion last night must have been deliberately done by someone, and the movement was so big, but recently it was just about the thieves, and it didn't set off any big waves, presumably it was the Emperor of Dali who deliberately suppressed it, or concealed it——"

He paused, and then said: "But my nephew has also seen His Royal Highness the Sage King, who is a dragon and phoenix among people, although he looks gentle and uninhibited on the surface, but he is indeed a very strategic person, and he will definitely not give up." ”

Concubine De nodded and said: "The first emperor finally left such two princes, and when Xiao Guifei died tragically, the seventh prince was sent to the fiefdom, so many years have not been in front of him, no one knows what it has become, although these two people look at brothers, friends and brothers, but they are guarding against each other, this time I heard that it involved the old case in the past, I am afraid that it will not end well." ”

Ning Yi calmed down and said comfortingly: "As soon as I got the news yesterday, my nephew asked people to lock the door of the post house, but Mobei sent out two groups of people, but they didn't come back, presumably they were dragged over by the emperor of the Great Calendar to carry the black cauldron, since he has already moved on Mobei, he will inevitably please Xiliang, and the concubine is not more worried." ”

Concubine De really didn't know about this, she looked quite nervous, leaned forward and said, "Is this serious?" ”

Ning Yi nodded and said, "Indeed, when I went out of the post house with Li'er, I noticed that there were more guards in this post house, and presumably the people in Mobei were also controlled at this time." ”

Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief, leaned idly on the soft pillow of the red brocade embroidered passion flower behind her, and said, "In this way, the mourning family will be relieved——"

She squinted her eyes to the side hall, and said with an inquiring look: "This girl mourns that she has been sick since she was a child, why does she seem to be much healthier now?" ”

Ning Yi smiled, his eyes also looked at the side hall, and his voice unconsciously lowered: "I found the medicine, and now her body is no longer in trouble." ”

Concubine De frowned, and asked again: "This child is also pitiful, although she looks at the scenery on the surface, but in fact, it is not, the imperial sister-in-law of the mourning family, the mourning family still knows, and she is very suspicious, and it is not easy for you to bring her out——"

This sentence seemed to ask Ning Yi's heart, and the brilliance in his eyes dimmed a lot, but he said a little resolutely: "The Queen Mother's aunt was originally kind to Li'er, but since Ning Jue's serious illness, my aunt has become more and more suspicious of me, and has warned Li'er many times not to be delusional, and the people sent to my house are also her henchmen, this time, it is Ning Jue who intercedes for Li'er, so that she can come out——"

Concubine De carefully looked at the man in front of her, he was no longer the little child he was back then, he was still a handsome and elegant boy with a long body and a dignified posture, such a good person, is he really willing to be subservient? So she said faintly: "What do you think about this?" ”

Ning Yi's expression changed greatly, he got up and knelt on the ground and said: "Concubine, my father has his last words on his deathbed, the new emperor is young, but I must not have the heart of disobedience, I can only assist, although Ning Jue is sick and weak now, but it is not an incurable disease, I dare not have the slightest thought." ”
