Above the court. This morning, King Ning had received the battle report from the front, and he did not expect that Huizong would fall into the hands of the Vietnamese army, which became the guarantee for him to ascend the throne and become the emperor. He came to the ancestral hall of the imperial palace, this was the first time he stood in the ancestral hall, and in the past, only the emperor could not kneel to this god and Buddha. He closed the door of the ancestral hall and walked to the incense table full of tablets, next to Emperor Taizu, was the spiritual seat of the Queen Mother.

"Father, mother, the imperial brother was taken away by the Yue people, if your second elder knows about it, you will definitely ensure that the royal brother has a smooth life in the Yue country."

After speaking, he walked out of the ancestral hall without looking back. At this time, outside the ancestral hall, a group of old ministers knelt down. Although they had already left the court at this time, the courtiers learned that Huizong was captured by the Yue Kingdom, so they kept kneeling outside. When King Ning walked out of the ancestral hall, Zheng Zhong, who was in the lead, stepped forward and made a big salute, blocking King Ning's way.

"Your Highness! The emperor was taken captive, in order to protect the society, please also ask His Royal Highness to ascend to the throne as soon as possible! Zheng Zhong said, and the ministers immediately chimed in: "Please Your Highness ascend to the throne as soon as possible!" ”

King Ning stood firm, he had long known the temperament of Zheng Zhong and others, and since he had learned that Huizong had been captive, he would definitely not wait for the moment when the Prime Minister of Yue was threatening to support the new emperor to ascend the throne. He looked at the humerus old minister who was kneeling down at the bottom of the stairs, and even felt a little ironic. Perhaps in their eyes, it doesn't matter who the world is. The only thing they want to save is themselves. He suppressed the urge to answer immediately, cleared his throat, and helped Zheng Zhong up, "Lord Zheng doesn't want to be like this, this king just wants to be an idle prince, but he can't afford such a heavy responsibility." ”

Zheng Zhong knelt down again and said loudly: "The country can't be left without an owner for a day, and now that the enemy is present, please also ask the prince to put the community first!" ”

"The royal brother still has an heir, how can he get the ...... of this king?"

"The eldest prince is only three years old, how can he inherit the unification."

King Ning looked at the ministers and said loudly: "The imperial brother is still trapped in the Yue State barracks at this time, and this king will continue to supervise the country for the imperial brother, please don't say anything more!" ”

With that, King Ning turned around and left. The crowd continued to kneel outside the ancestral hall.

When Dark One returned to the village, it was already afternoon. Yuening woke up once, and the peasant woman said that Dark One would be back soon, and she slept peacefully. As soon as he walked to Yue Ning's side, Yue Ning's little face gradually became bloody, and he put his hand on Yue Ning's head, and the fever had subsided. He slowly put his hand on Yue Ning's face, looking at Yue Ning's appearance a little stunned. Yue Ning woke up faintly, slowly opened her eyes, and seemed to see the tenderness on the face of the dark one.

Yue Ning just opened his mouth and called: "Brother ...... next year" The hoarse voice after the high fever subsided made the dark come back to his senses, he retracted the expression on his face, hurriedly put his hand down, walked to the small table in the room at a loss, and asked with an embarrassed smile: "But thirsty?" ”

Yue Ning shook her head and took her hand around Dark One's hand, "You, don't go, okay?" I'm afraid ......" Dark Yi looked at Yue Ning holding his hand, so he had to sit down, and just wanted to say something, only to hear Yue Ning say softly: "Brother Yi, do you know that you left me alone in that tree hole that day......"

When he heard this, he said dejectedly: "I know that you complain that I went back late, but you know that the emperor is in captivity and is in danger, although I am ordered by the owner, I can ......"

Yue Ning struggled to sit up, coughed violently a few times, and secretly poured a glass of water for her to smooth her down, and then sat behind her, helping her steadily, Yue Ning held back her cough, "This way, how could Ning Er not know how you treat me?" I know that you have the righteousness of the country in your heart, and you can't get out of it, but, ......" Yue Ning blushed and looked at the dark one, "After these things, Ning'er doesn't want to go back to Beijing, she just wants to be in a small village with Brother Yi here, and stay away from those intrigues for the rest ......of her life."

Dark Yi looked at Yue Ning with a red face and lowered her head, looking shy, and suddenly remembered the scene where the lives of the two of them were hanging on the line of life and death several times in the past few days. When Yue Ning fell asleep and hugged him and muttered to himself, he knew how important this woman was to him, even higher than the responsibility of being a secret guard.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yue Ning only thought that he was still thinking about Qiancheng Villa and Huizong, and continued: "If, if you don't want to, then we will leave here and go back to the capital......" said and struggled to stand up, but she lay down for a few days, her body was already weak, and she stood up but struggled twice before she collapsed again. Dark One hurriedly helped her up, he didn't talk much, and he had never experienced love, so he was naturally a little ignorant, at this time, seeing Yuening like this, he was anxious, but he didn't know what to do. It's just that "you, you, me, me" can't go on.

At this time, the peasant woman walked in, saw Yuening kneeling on the ground, and the dark one was speechless on the side, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help Yuening up. Yue Ning sat on the bed in a daze, only to hear the peasant woman say to Dark One: "Your sister is sick, why can't you wait for her to get better?" You go out first, don't make her angry again. ”

When he heard this, he wanted to say something, so he had to sigh and leave the room.

The peasant woman helped Yuening lie down, took off Yuening's clothes, took out the bottle of trauma medicine that Guo Chuanbai gave to Yuening from her arms, and applied the cold ointment to the wound on Yuening's back, "This jade skin ointment is really the prescription of the court of the previous dynasty, but after applying it a few times, it has such a miraculous effect." ”

When Yue Ning heard this, her body shook, and she turned her head sharply and looked at the peasant woman, only to see the peasant woman with a smile on her face and her eyes blazing.

At the beginning of the dynasty today, the ministers once again implored King Ning to ascend the throne and inherit the throne. King Ning repeatedly excused himself, and finally suppressed those old ministers. I don't know when it began, the whole of Yao had already spread the news that Huizong was taken captive, and King Ning thought about the brotherhood with Huizong, and refused to be the emperor beyond the distance, and was only willing to serve as the supervisor of the country.

King Ning walked on the road leading from the Qinzheng Hall to the imperial study. I saw a few little eunuchs trotting to remove the chrysanthemums on the corridor, and another clumsily tripped on the grass under the corridor, holding the green chrysanthemum that King Ning ordered the eunuchs to remove a few days ago. The green chrysanthemum was pressed under the little eunuch, and the petals fell to the ground, and even the celadon flower pots of the blessed longevity were broken everywhere. King Ning stood still, looking at the little eunuch in embarrassment, the little eunuch hurriedly got up and knelt down, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. At this time, a person dressed as a chief eunuch came over, and after a closer look, King Ning took a closer look, and it turned out to be the eunuch who politely refused to replace Lu Ju that day.

I only heard the eunuch scream: "Dog slave, clumsy, don't bump into the noble!" The little eunuch trembled even more when he heard this, and kowtowed desperately to the ground. The eunuch then turned to King Ning and said respectfully: "Slave Xiao Luzi, he is the apprentice of Chief An, and he is now on duty in the Internal Affairs Office. ”

King Ning let out a faint "um", and saw that the green chrysanthemum under the little eunuch was already dilapidated, and then said faintly: "Doesn't the imperial brother love this green chrysanthemum alone?" Why did the flowers still bloom and withdraw? ”

Xiao Luzi glanced at the green chrysanthemum and replied: "Now that it is almost autumn, this green chrysanthemum is delicate, and it has long been in a state of decay. ”

King Ning looked at the little eunuch who was still kowtowing with a smile, "Then this flower should not be punished." ”

When Xiao Luzi heard this, he quickly pulled the little eunuch up and said flatteringly: "Master, you are right, the untimely things should have returned to dust!" ”

King Ning laughed out loud, "Your name is ......"

"Xiaoluzi, minion Xiaoluzi."

"But Grandpa An's apprentice?"

"Yes...... Father-in-law An has been sick recently, and he has to take some time to recuperate......"

"You're so clever, you'll be there for you in the future." After King Ning finished speaking, he left with people. The path continued to stretch out, replacing the chrysanthemums on the porch with begonias.

King Ning walked on the corridor, seeing that the chrysanthemums in the corridor were quickly removed, and the gorgeous begonias were instantly filled, as if announcing the arrival of an era that belonged to him.

The Chiang government has completely lifted the ban. Madame Jiang sat in the courtyard and couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she saw that the General's Mansion had returned to its former scene. Jiang Kun stood in the courtyard with Mrs. Jiang, he didn't fail to see King Ning's wolf ambitions, but in today's situation, if King Ning does not ascend the throne and become emperor, then all the rivers and mountains laid down by Dayao ten years ago will definitely be returned to the hands of Yue.

Madame Jiang sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, quietly drinking tea. Jiang Lin went out as early as the moment the ban was lifted. Jiang Kun walked around the courtyard, originally wanting to walk out of the gate, but after thinking about it, he withdrew his legs again. He walked over to Madame Chiang and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.

"We were convicted of this tea a few days ago, why did we take it out again?" Jiang Kun didn't understand, looked at Mrs. Jiang and asked with some doubts.

Mrs. Jiang smiled, "I also understand why your father has been greedy for pleasure all these years, after all, he is like a tiger, and now he deserves to drink this tea." ”

The two were still talking, and they saw a woman dressed as a vegetable farmer coming from the backyard, she couldn't speak, just gestured with her hand, Mrs. Jiang's casual and peaceful posture suddenly changed, she was slightly stunned, and then stood up, "You go with me to the account room to get the silver." ”

Jiang Kun was already a little puzzled, so he wanted to ask the maid to take the woman over, but he saw that Mrs. Jiang took the woman and went to the account room. Jiang Kun became suspicious and quietly followed behind the two. I saw Madame Chiang and the woman walking to a corner, and the woman took out a vial from her bosom, which was the one that Madame Chiang used to deliver the letters. Mrs. Jiang opened the vial, only to see four big words written on it: "Huizong was rescued", the strength in her body seemed to be drained, and her eyes suddenly went black, and she almost fell to the ground, and the woman was busy supporting Mrs. Jiang.

Madame Jiang said in a trembling voice: "This, this...... Who the hell is this......

At this time, Jiang Kun couldn't hold back any longer, rushed out, and held Mrs. Jiang, "Mother, what is it that makes you so panicked?" ”

The woman saw that Jiang Kun had found the two of them delivering a letter and was about to leave, but Jiang Kun grabbed the woman, "Who are you?" ”

The woman was a mute, and she was pinned down by Jiang Kun, so she had to look at Mrs. Jiang. Madame Jiang stood firm, straightened her makeup, sighed lowly, and said to the woman, "You are with ...... You tell my nephew that you must kill Huizong, and don't let him escape again. ”

Jiang Kun has listened to Mrs. Jiang teach him what it means to be loyal since he was a child, and now he is even more shocked to hear that Mrs. Jiang is inseparable from the abduction of Huizong, and to hear her say the word "nephew". He thought that his maternal grandfather was just a hermit in the countryside, and he had never heard Mrs. Jiang mention that there was an uncle in his mother's family, but now he suddenly heard the unfamiliar word "nephew", which made him let go of his hand, and the woman saw this and fled from Jiang's house in a hurry.

Jiang Kun looked at Mrs. Jiang, and he didn't know where to start with the thousands of words in his heart, but he just opened his mouth, as if he had been dumbfounded, and made a "ah, ah" sound. Madame Jiang knew that if Huizong escaped, he would settle accounts after the autumn when he returned to the capital, and today Jiang Lin stood by King Ning's side, and Jiang Peng must have nothing to do with his captivity, if the time comes...... The Jiang family is only afraid that there are more than nine clans, and they are afraid that the five horses will not be able to calm the anger of this Huizong, so what will Jiang Kun do at that time? It is better to take this opportunity to tell Jiang Kun the cause and effect, if there is really that day, he will be desperate and send Jiang Kun to Yueguo.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Kun, and before she could speak, she heard a man's panicked voice coming from the door, "Master, where is Madame?" ”

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Kun, Jiang Kun also knew that this was not the time to speak, so he returned to the front yard with Mrs. Jiang, the man was Jiang Peng's personal soldier, this personal soldier saw Mrs. Jiang come out, and hurriedly approached Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Kun, and said in a low voice: "The second young master asked me to bring you a message, it seems that someone went to the Vietnamese army barracks to rescue the emperor, and the second young master asked how to deal with it?" ”

Madame Jiang looked at Jiang Kun and said bluntly: "Tell Peng'er to quickly send personal soldiers to search the perimeter of the border city, the emperor has been rescued!" ”

The soldier didn't have time to ask Madame Chiang how she found out about this, so she had to quickly ride her horse out of the city.
