Chapter Ninety-Six: The Two Heavens of Ice and Fire
"Miss, Miss, it's terrible, something happened, something happened."
When Yunu came in in a panic, Ning Zimo happened to be boiling black chicken ginseng soup in front of the recipe, and when he saw that people were panicked, he didn't even look back and said, "It's going to be the New Year, you pick some good news to talk about." Bad luck, don't mention it for the time being. ”
"Miss, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion was sent to raid the house early this morning."
Her hands shook, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing: "Really? ”
"Really, early this morning, I heard that the palace sent eighty royal guards to the prime minister's house, raided the house and asked for the crime, and they were all pressed into the prison at noon."
Ning Zimo pursed her thin lips when she heard this, and beckoned the jade slave to her side with some chatter, and asked, "Are you sure that my brother went to the palace yesterday afternoon?" ”
"Really, the slave maid saw it with her own eyes, and when the young master came out of the gate of Chongzong Palace, the slave and maid were shopping on the street. ran into Young Master Yan, Young Master Yan was in a hurry, and the slave maid couldn't go up to say hello. ”
"Okay, Miss Ben knows, the prime minister's family is self-inflicted, and the emperor will not let go of such a big tumor."
Yu Nu nodded, Ning Zimo seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure coming in from the corner of his eye, and Yu Nu also noticed it, and took several steps back.
The person waiting at the door was Cui Ping, she knocked on the door, and then said, "Miss Yan, there is a person named Tianbao outside, who said that he wants to see you." ”
Ning Zimo just rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, and then instructed the jade slave: "Go and tell him that it is the credit of the young master of the general's mansion, he wants to thank him, and he will have the opportunity to repay the favor of the young master in the future, in front of him, Miss Ben has no time to see him." ”
The reason why Ning Zimo didn't see him was not because of the side, but because Ning Tiancheng also knew that this Tianbao was the young master of the Tianquan Martial Arts Gym, if he knew that this Tianbao was already a member of her group, it was estimated that the master of the Tianquan Martial Arts Gym who was sparring in those days would be dismissed by Ning Tiancheng.
Those masters can't be dismissed, but they will still be of great use in the coming year.
Cuiping heard this and went out, shrunk his hand and walked to the door, politely said to that Tianbao Ning Zimo's original words just now, Tianbao is not a person who has to be forced, he heard that he didn't have time to see him, he was not annoyed, and left with a smile.
"Shizi, do you want to bring Miss Liuxiang to your side?"
Yan Jifeng has been watching from a distance, he is actually very surprised by this, why is it good Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that his house was raided, there was no warning at all, and now the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is left with this one concubine and is out.
If she was alone, how hard she should live.
His original plan was very good, in his heart, he broke the marriage contract between the two families of Liuning, and smuggled people back to Yanbei by himself, and found a chance to return to Yanbei again.
But yesterday afternoon he heard that Liuxiang had returned, and in the capital, he personally repaired a book and went to Yanbei.
After the New Year, the twenty-eighth day of the first month of each year, it is the time for Yanbei to come to the court to congratulate, and he mentioned in the letter that he asked his father to come over in person this year and ask for him to marry the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how good it would be.
Yan Jifeng took two steps forward, but stepped back and said in frustration: "She doesn't want to see me." ”
"So what, Shizi, this Miss Liuxiang is already your person."
The ghost hand carving knew that Yan Jifeng had a hard bow to the overlord of Liuxiang last time, and he was standing not far from the door at that time, and heard with his own ears how Liuxiang resisted to the death at the beginning, but so what, the people of Yanbei were fierce, and the girl who was slept with could only recognize her own man as the sky.
Yan Jifeng took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk to her side, and also looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion that had fallen overnight, and said with relief: "Liuxiang, don't worry, your father is in the prison, I will definitely find a way to save them."
Liuxiang always drooped her head, and only when she heard these words did she raise her head mechanically, her withered face was completely bloodless, pale and terrible, not only that, but her eyes were almost full of blood-like teardrops, she smiled sarcastically, got up and pointed at Yan Jifeng's nose and scolded: "You wolf-hearted bullshit world, if it weren't for Daddy protecting you for so many years, would you be able to grow up safely in the capital?" It is because I want to protect you, I have to deal with your prince Yanbei, and after coming and going, the emperor suspects that our Prime Minister's Mansion is secretly communicating with you Yanbei, so he ordered to raid my home."
Liuxiang's head was buzzing, and she didn't hear it clearly, but she heard two soldiers talking.
"You said, so many letters exchanged with Yanbei, this prime minister didn't hide it, no, let the emperor find out."
"Not really. The matter of receiving the envoys of Yanbei before, it was originally a matter of the Ministry of Rites, and the prime minister did it, you say, it is difficult for the emperor not to doubt it. ”
The two people held a large stack of letters in their hands, passed by the side of the incense, and left these two sentences.
When Yan Jifeng heard this, his blood surged, and he took two big steps back because he was too shocked, looked at the ghost hand carving beside him and asked, "Really?" What Liuxiang said is true? ”
The corners of the ghost hand carving's mouth caught a fierce smile, and he said hoarsely: "There is part of the reason, but after so many years of the emperor turning a blind eye, why did he choose to copy the prime minister's house at this juncture, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Liuxiang, who heard this, was also stunned, quickly wiped the tears on her eyes, and asked very quickly, "Do you know why?" ”
"Naturally, I heard that yesterday afternoon, the emperor summoned several ministers to the palace, and these ministers were specifically against the prime minister in the past."
The words of the ghost hand carving made Liuxiang's brain turn around, she got up with a grunt, and went to the house of several officials who had befriended her father in the past, and they just closed their doors and did not see guests, and even said that if she made trouble again, she would be sent to His Majesty.
When it was dark, Liuxiang walked aimlessly on the streets, only to feel that the prosperity of these neon lights had nothing to do with him.
There is a big family in front of her, Liuxiang raised her head and looked, the two big characters of Ningfu gave her infinite comfort and care, she walked to the door but did not rush in, the quality of the two guards was also excellent, and when she saw this beggar-like girl, she did not immediately drive away, and even someone took a bag of snacks out and walked to her.
"It's cold, it's almost the end of the year, the girl eats this snack and goes home early."
Liuxiang swallowed her saliva and took the snack, although she was embarrassed, her literacy was still there, she said thank you, and then asked: "Can the little brother of Laofu inform the young master of your general's mansion and say that there is a girl looking for her." ”
"You are?"
"Old acquaintance, I came from your young master from old acquaintances."
Liuxiang didn't dare to say that she was the Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion was all in prison, she needed to go around outside, she needed to find a helper to help her, and it was better to return the innocence of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she actually knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion was not clear, but if she could go to all the money and power, it would be good if a large family could leave prison safely.
The man exchanged glances with the people around him, and then went into the general's mansion.
Ning Xuanli was talking to Xiao Qi in the study, and when Ning Zimo came over with ginseng soup, Xiao Qi was kneeling on the ground to be punished, her eyelids jumped, and while helping Xiao Qi up, she said in surprise: "Yuan Xiaoqi, you are so standard." ”
Xiao Qi glanced at Ning Xuanli in fear, he had already gotten up, but he knelt down again without Ning Xuanli's approval.
"Brother, look at you, Xiao Qi's eyes are so heavy, I'm afraid she hasn't slept well for a while, and you still punish her."
Ning Xuanli got up and stared at Xiao Qi for a long time before he said slowly: "Next time you make your own decisions, the punishment will not be so light, you can go down and receive the punishment yourself." ”
Ning Zimo thought that the punishment in his mouth was just kneeling in the study, so he didn't say anything more, just said to Xiao Qi: "You go to sleep first, I see that you have a ticket when you walk." ”
This Xiao Qi was in a hurry to enter Beijing, in fact, if she rode a horse alone, it would be very fast, but after bringing Liuxiang, she changed it to a carriage, and the trip was delayed for a while, so she basically didn't sleep much along the way, but occasionally when she couldn't hold on, she would stop the carriage and take a nap.
Xiao Qi pursed his lips, and saluted Ning Zimo with some embarrassment: "It's the subordinates who have done something wrong, and the master should be punished." ”
After saying this, he looked at Ning Xuanli in fear, how could Ning Zimo not find that her brother was so far away before, sitting there, her eyes were as cold as frost, and the ten halls of Yama were like rakshasas, she just looked at it, and a chill rose in her heart.
After Xiao Qi finished saying this, he retreated, Ning Zimo didn't know why, and he also had the intention of leaving, and was ready to follow behind.
Ning Xuanli stopped the person by the waist when the person passed by, then sat on his lap, and asked in her ear, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Ning Zimo was a little uncomfortable, broke free of the arm he was holding on top of his stomach, and then got up and walked a long way.
"Think I've gone too far with her?"
When Ning Zimo heard this, he temporarily stopped holding the food box and asked, "Aren't you punished for kneeling?" How are you going to punish her? ”
"It's punishment to kneel and enjoyment, ice and fire,
Ning Zimo's brows furrowed, he always felt that things were not simple, and asked, "What are the two heavens of ice and fire?" ”
"On one side is red-hot iron charcoal, and on the other side is a winter ice sculpture. Isn't it the two heavens of ice and fire? ”
Her face was originally quite ruddy, but when she heard this, she suddenly turned pale as paper, and it took a long time before she said, "What did Xiao Qi do wrong?" It's hot and cold, if Xiao Qi's legs kneel, I'm afraid they will be wasted. ”
"She shouldn't have to call the shots."
In fact, Ning Zimo had the intention of saving Xiao Qi from the time she entered the door, and she also heard Xiao Ba say that Young Master Yan was so angry in the study, so she came over with ginseng soup. And Xiao Ba's words are to ask Ning Zimo to help him intercede, in order to sort out the ins and outs, Xiao Ba told Xiao Qi all the things that went out during this time.
"Didn't she also make a meritorious service? As soon as the merit is over, you shouldn't be punished so heavily, besides, Xiaoqi is a girl, she hurts her skin, and she is easy to be disliked by her husband's family in the future. ”
Ning Zimo knew that the red-hot iron and carbon could roast all the flesh on the surface of a person, and the ice sculpture in winter was biting cold.
Such two things, kneeling, skin injury is a trivial matter, I am afraid that it will hurt the bone marrow.
Ning Xuanli didn't know what was going on in his mind at the moment, his slender fingers were tapping regularly one by one, Ning Zimo felt that he had been silent for centuries for so long, and finally he nodded and said, "Then listen to you and spare her punishment." ”
Ning Zimo, who heard this, was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the stove placed on the table, and was about to walk out with his feet raised.
