Chapter 192: Farther and farther away
Gong Xuanli's gaze was reluctant to take away from Ning Zimo, who was already asleep on the bed, he was a delicate person, so he asked him to torture him like this, he took out another pair of medicine from his arms and handed it to the jade slave's hand: "Go and ask someone to fry it, drink it for Xiao Mo immediately,"
"Yes."
After explaining this, Gong Xuanli didn't dare to stay for long, knowing that Ning Guodong was angry, and he could only leave if he was reluctant.
Ning Guodong took Gong Xuanli to the ancestral hall of the Ning family, and as soon as the housekeeper pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, a clammy and cold breath that had not seen the sun all year round came to his face, and the strong wind outside the window shook the rows of candles, and there was a strong smell of candles.
Gong Xuanli didn't know what Ning Guodong was doing with him in the ancestral hall, but he followed Ning Guodong's footsteps.
The ancestral hall is a place for the ancestors to rank, and the first place Ning Guodong wants to come to every time he goes home is this ancestral hall, and every time he wants to go to the place before going out, it is this ancestral hall, which seems to be like his ancestors to comfort him.
"Get on your knees."
Although he is not his ancestor, this general's mansion is the place where he was raised, Ning Guodong has treated him as if he was his own child for so many years, and he has already regarded the general's mansion as his own home, as soon as he thought of this, he did not hesitate, so he knelt down straight with the futon.
"Please family law,"
The housekeeper had been following behind, and was startled when he heard this, and whispered in Ning Guodong's ear: "Master, this is still a child, and it is the sixth prince, although he has not yet been revealed by the emperor, but it will be ...... soon This is not the one you can do in the family law."
Ning Guodong ignored what the housekeeper said, and looked at Gong Xuanli who was kneeling on the ground with a resolute face.
"Please family law."
The housekeeper knew that his master was stubborn, and Gong Xuanli, who was kneeling on the ground, did not have any intention of refusing, so he sighed and went to get the family law.
Gong Xuanli also felt that he had made an unforgivable mistake in his heart, Xiao Mo was reluctant to blame him, he never even said a word to him, and he did not embarrass him or persecute him since he was given marriage, but it was Xiao Mo's non-noisy attitude that made him feel even more difficult in his heart, and it was Xiao Mo's non-noisy and non-noisy that made him feel that although he was by Xiao Mo's side every day, that person was getting farther and farther away from him.
How could it be that only Ning Zimo was not happy, and Gong Xuanli also felt that his heart was pressed with a stone, yes, heavy.
This made Ning Guodong clean up with family methods, and maybe his heart would feel better.
The family method is an iron rod with a small iron thorn, and from a distance, the iron rod glows with a cold and calm light under the light of the candle.
Ning Guodong saw that the family law was coming, and he deliberately rolled his sleeves on it, rounded his shoulders, he bowed in front of his ancestors with an iron rod in his hand, and then stepped on the heavy footprints to Gong Xuanli's back step by step.
"This law came out of the official kiln, smelted and formed, and has not punished anyone with the family law, I always thought it was an ornament, but I never thought that I would invite it out today."
"It's Xuanli's honor, and the general doesn't want his subordinates to show mercy."
When Ning Guodong heard this, he snorted coldly, as long as he thought of his daughter's big belly being ridiculed by those ordinary people at home, he was even more angry.
"Master, you can't beat it, the tiny iron nails on this iron rod, this sticking to the flesh will be beaten, and the six princes will be broken."
The housekeeper was still trying to persuade, but Ning Guodong didn't take this to heart, and snorted coldly: "This guy hasn't recovered his identity yet, he is still the young master of my general's mansion, why can't this general be beaten?" ”
"Take it off."
Gong Xuanli didn't hesitate, took out the things in his arms and put them aside, and then took off his clothes layer by layer.
Ning Guodong's fingers gradually clenched the iron rod hard, raised it high, and fell heavily, between the ups and downs, the iron rod slapped Gong Xuanli's back fiercely, and when the first stick went down, Gong Xuanli gritted his teeth and held back.
"General, the general really can't fight anymore,"
The butler has been waiting on the side, and when he saw the general, he seemed to hate it fiercely, he had never seen his own general so angry with this sixth prince, he saw the hollow iron rod, and called his master to bend it.
And the six princes survived, and in the entire dim ancestral hall, there was only the muffled sound of the iron rod hitting the flesh and skin, even if the small upside-down thorn brought up the flesh and skin of Gong Xuanli's back, from a distance, it was already scarlet, the blood was ticking, and the heavy smell of blood spread out in this closed ancestral hall, this Ning Guodong seemed to be red-eyed, maybe it was because he saw that Gong Xuanli was carrying it like this, and he was even more angry in his heart, and his hands were heavier.
Gong Xuanli only felt that his back must be a hot mess now, and he could even feel the blood on his back dripping on the ground.
It wasn't until Ning Guodong felt that he was tired of beating that he threw aside the iron rod that had been bent, Gong Xuanli looked over, the stick was full of his blood and small flesh, he only felt that his back hurt very much, he didn't want to move, as if every breath could drive the wound on his back, but he still barely knelt down under Ning Guodong's cold scrutiny.
"After today, you will no longer be from my general's mansion, my temple is small, and I can't afford your big Buddha, early tomorrow morning, please move out of the general's mansion with the six princes,"
Gong Xuanli was struggling to put the clothes on his body one by one, his eyes widened when he heard this, the news was too shocking, he couldn't even take care of the wound on his back, so he knelt on the ground and walked two steps, but he pulled the wound on his back, and he gasped in pain, and he didn't get back for a long time.
"You... Hey, general, you beat me up again to dissipate my anger, but you can't tell me to go out of the house, if you don't let me stay by Xiao Mo's side, she will think nonsense."
Although these days, Ning Zimo has obviously alienated him a lot, he doesn't even eat with him anymore, and he doesn't even talk much, and the whole person has become a little taciturn, but Gong Xuanli knows that she needs him, if he doesn't have him by his side, Ning Zimo will probably be even more cranky.
"Sixth Prince, you have been smart since you were a child, can't you understand what the old man said? Is there a reason why the six princes live in the General's Mansion? ”
There is really no such reason in the world, Gong Xuanli heard this, it seemed to be with a deflated ball, he couldn't move because of the pain in his back, and after reluctantly putting on his clothes, he kept his rickety body, gritted his teeth in pain and said: "General, I can stay by Xiao Mo's bedside, promise not to step out of the door half a step, I will guard her, she has been unsettled recently, I was always afraid of unmarried pregnancy to let you know, you blame her for losing the face of the general's mansion, it has been difficult day and night, and such as... Now my father doesn't like me to take Xiao Mo too seriously, so he gave me the position of side concubine, which is definitely not what I meant."
When Ning Guodong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he grabbed his collar and asked: "I don't care what kind of fame your father and son are doing, he wants you to inherit the throne, and General Ben has no opinion, but the daughter raised by the old man is not bullied by the people of your palace family." Besides, the old man is not particularly rare for his daughter to be the queen of a country, if you just want to treat her alone, it is best not to marry the princess of Yanbei. ”
"I know, I grew up with Xiao Mo since childhood, and Xiao Mo can't rub sand in his eyes, I know all this, but now the situation is complicated, and I can't openly disobey my father's will at present."
Originally, what I said earlier was good, but the anger in Ning Guodong's heart had all disappeared because every stick that had just been smashed on Gong Xuanli's back.
But when he heard this, his temper rose again, otherwise he would have obeyed the emperor's decree.
"Hmph, if you want to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, the old man can tell you, ask my family Mo'er to be your concubine for the six imperial concubines, and the general would rather raise her for a lifetime than ask her to be a little one for you. You royal people are too insidious for the old man to push his daughter into the fire pit. ”
Ning Guodong is confident, and the military power in his hands is not taken for nothing.
And Gong Xuanli, who had been beaten with dozens of sticks, was a little weak, and when he heard this, Ning Guodong was even more anxious when he said that he would rather raise Xiao Mo in the mansion than marry him, and he didn't catch his breath, and coughed violently, pulling the sky and the earth, as if he was going to tear his heart and lungs.
"No, General Ning, Xiao Mo is mine, and the child is also mine, no, I can't let her guard the General's Mansion for the rest of her life, and the child can't live without a father."
"You also know that the child is yours, and the old man hasn't settled this account with you, if it weren't for this matter, my daughter would be difficult to ride a tiger? Why, your father thinks my daughter's pregnancy is worthless? I should be a golden pimple in my arms, sheltering her from the wind and rain, you royal people are such insults? ”
"No, Xiao Mo is the most important thing in my heart, for her, I can not even want my own life."
Ning Guodong believed this, just now he looked at Gong Xuanli's bloody back, and he couldn't even bear to put the iron rod on him again, and just before Gong Xuanli gritted his teeth and endured it, Ning Guodong believed that even if he took another iron rod and beat people to death, Gong Xuanli would not beg for mercy.
"You don't even want your life, then you don't dare to disobey your father?"
The courtiers have the helplessness of the courtiers, this Ning Guodong dared to say this in front of Gong Xuanli, but when he came to the emperor, he didn't dare to be so outspoken, after all, the emperor is still the emperor, and the authority for so many years is especially there, how can he tolerate a courtier to be so wild in front of him,
"I dare, I went to my father a few days ago to theorize, but my father agreed to my request, so I didn't insist anymore."
Ning Guodong snorted coldly, and when he heard this, he glanced at him and asked, "What request can the emperor promise you, so that you can compromise even this kind of thing?" You should know my family's Mo'er better than me, it's normal for two daughters to serve a husband together, but you kept promising in front of the old man that you would only marry my Mo'er in this life, right? Hmph, now that the two concubines are married on the eighth day of the fourth month, isn't this a clear slap in the face of my Mo'er? ”
In fact, if the main concubine and the side concubine are married to the same prince, it should be that the main concubine enters the palace two days in advance, and the side concubine will be a little later.
There are also rumors in the palace that they are marrying together, which is already a special favor for the General's Mansion.
When Ning Guodong heard this, he snorted coldly in his heart.
"This matter is confidential, and I can't say it at this moment."
Ning Guodong glanced at the housekeeper when he heard this, the housekeeper was sensible, holding the iron rod that Ning Guodong had thrown on the ground before, he went down first, and thoughtfully closed the door outside.
As soon as the heavy door of this ancestral hall was closed, it completely cut off all the light and noise outside, and the ancestral hall was terrifyingly quiet for a moment, only the sound of Gong Xuanli's sudden heavy breathing because of too much pain.
Ning Guodong stood in front of Gong Xuanli with his hands in his hands, extremely arrogant: "If the general didn't know what the emperor had promised you, he would never marry his daughter to you." Not to mention that there is a holy decree, even if you come to the door in a sedan chair tomorrow, this general will dare to stop in front of the coquettish son you came to marry, so that you can't enter the gate of my general's mansion. ”
"I naturally believe that your anger is high, general, and I am reluctant to let Xiao Mo be wronged,"
"Now there are only you and me in this ancestral hall, so you can tell the emperor's promise to the ancestors of my Ning family."
Gong Xuanli didn't mean to hide it anymore, because his back was too painful, if it was an ordinary iron rod, but the surface of this iron rod was embedded with many raised iron nails, extremely sharp, Gong Xuanzheng's back was already a blur of flesh and blood, and he almost trembled and took out a yellow paper sealed holy decree from his arms, which had obviously been opened and looked at by Gong Xuanli.
