Shen Ninghua quietly bowed her head and was silent, the expression on her face was very indifferent.

But this appearance, looking at Baili Qingcang's eyes, the anger in his heart slowly gathered: Ninghua A woman supported the princess's mansion, and even if she wanted to do a ritual for her mother, she had to be interrupted by others, or even used.

There is a lot of evidence in front of him, and a concept has been formed in Baili Qingcang's heart, that is, Xiao Jingran knew that Shen Ninghua wanted to do things, and then deliberately used the opportunity of the funeral to interfere with the ceremony, and by the way, used the lives of innocent people to murder Shen Ninghua.

If it weren't for Ning Hua's quick reaction and saving the people, then this time there would be more than 100 casualties, and once hundreds of lives were injured, no matter how much he loved Shen Ninghua, he would have to punish her, then the good reputation that he had paved for Ning Hua before would also be in vain.

What a deep thought! Thinking about it, the anger in Baili Qingcang's eyes became more and more obvious: "Xiao Jingran, you are an old minister in the court, you have done such an unseemly thing, ignored the people, and injured the lives of the senior monks of Guangning Temple, you are really disappointed by me." ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials above the court who helped Xiao Jingran were suddenly silenced, and they shrank back like quails and did not dare to speak.

Xiao Jingran's heart was cold, the emperor would condemn him for Shen Ninghua: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty." ”

"Since you admit your mistake, then the secretary of the Criminal Department, do you have any opinions on how to punish this matter?"

Shangshu of the Criminal Department stood up and was silent in place for a long time, not knowing what to say: "Back to the emperor, this matter is really hard to say, Princess Zhaohua and Lord Xiao have their own reasons, this is ......!" ”

Baili Qingcang slapped the table violently and made a bang, which made Shangshu of the Criminal Department tremble.

"Your Majesty, please forgive your sins."

"I've raised you for so many years, but it's not good for you to say anything here, if the officials can't provide advice and help me govern the country and the people, then what's the use of raising you!"

"Weichen is guilty, please forgive the emperor."

Baili Qingcang's eyes were cold: "Okay, then I will ask you again, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department was already covered with cold sweat, and all kinds of thoughts quickly turned around in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Returning to the emperor, Weichen thinks that Lord Xiao should be the main responsibility for this matter, but after all, there is a reason for the incident, and the consequences are not very serious, according to the law, the official should be demoted by one level and fined for two years; Princess Ninghua sensed the intention of the matter in time, and then was able to send people to rescue the people in time, which is worthy of praise. ”

Baili Qingcang looked coldly at the kneeling officials in the hall, and the hearts of the cold-eyed people trembled: "As a courtier, if it can't be beneficial to the country, I will give you grace and allow you to return to your hometown to retire." ”

"The ministers know their mistakes."

"Okay, I'll just wait and see." These officials forgot that they were holding the imperial court, "Xiao Jingran disrespects Princess Zhaohua and disregards the safety of the people, so he should be demoted and punished according to the law, but for the sake of defending the Da'an Dynasty for so many years, there is no need to be demoted, only fined for two years." Princess Zhaohua was calm in trouble, rescued the people, and was a model for women, so she rewarded two pairs of jade Ruyi, two gold beads, ten silk and satin, one hundred taels of gold, and one thousand taels of silver to show her reward. ”

Shen Ninghua bowed and saluted: "Ninghua thanks my father." ”

Baili Qingcang nodded, glanced coldly at the courtiers around him, and looked at Master Guangshan standing on the side: "Master, why don't you rest in the palace for two days?" ”

Guangshan smiled and shook his head: "The poor monk is a member of Buddhism, it is better to return to the temple, thank you emperor." ”

Baili Qingcang nodded and strode away from the Chengqian Palace.

The officials in the main hall also left quickly, for fear that the dispute between Princess Zhaohua and the Xiao family would implicate them.

Baili Qingcang looked forbearing, knelt on the ground for a long time, got up and staggered slightly, and looked at Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua's eyes as if they had been quenched with poison: "The princess is really a good means!" ”

Shen Ninghua smiled coldly: "It's not as good as Old General Xiao." ”

"Oh, princess, the emperor trusts and favors you, this is really a rare blessing, don't be dissatisfied, when it's time to converge, you should be restrained, so as not to fall on your heels!"

Shen Ninghua slowly raised his eyes, and his black eyes carried a terrifying coldness: "The emperor is the son of heaven in Da'anguo, with his favor alone, I will be able to run rampant in Da'anguo, even if I fall, someone will rush forward to help me up." ”

Shen Ninghua paused slightly, and then said: "I also advise Old General Xiao to say a word, there will always be a day when military merits are consumed, and if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, or it is better to stop in moderation to protect yourself, so as not to protect yourself in the end, and harm yourself and your whole family." ”

Xiao Fengjue stepped forward: "Princess Zhaohua, although my father is only Chu Junyi's father-in-law, but in the future, when you marry him, you must also respect my father's elders, is that too rude what you said just now?" ”

Shen Ninghua hooked the corners of her lips: "Isn't it rude to be the commander of the elders to hit the door of the junior's house with a coffin?" If you want to reason with your seniority in front of me, Xiao Gongzi is really confident, the monarch and the minister, the first monarch has the minister, I am the princess, even if the old general Xiao is Chu Junyi's biological father, and he is also the position of the courtier, I don't care that I am magnanimous, if I care, your Xiao family will also suffer it alive! ”

"You ......"

"It's not too early, so I won't delay the two of you to go back and continue the funeral, but this time, I hope you don't go down the wrong path and go to the wrong road!"

After Shen Ninghua finished speaking, he stood in place with a cold expression.

Chu Junyi arched his hand at Xiao Jingran: "Father-in-law......"

"Shut up!" Xiao Jingran waved his sleeves violently, raised his hand and slapped Chu Junyi in the face.

Xiao Fengjue was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chu Junyi block it.

only heard a snap, and Xiao Jingran slapped Xiao Fengjue in the face.

"Evil Barrier, you're still helping him!"

Xiao Fengjue's face was numb from the beating, but she gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Jingran: "Father, we should go back, my sister's funeral can't be delayed like this." ”

Xiao Jingran glanced at Xiao Fengjue and Chu Junyi coldly, turned around and strode out with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Fengjue kept up with Xiao Jingran's footsteps and strode out of the Chengqian Palace.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Monk Guangshan folded his hands and recited a Buddha name: "Amitabha, good, good." ”

Shen Ninghua turned around and saluted Guangshan: "Thank you Master for your help." ”

"Today's matter is over, from now on cause and effect are not indebted, the donor is too evil, it is better to restrain himself."

"Ninghua is hard, can bear the cause and effect, can withstand the evil spirit, thank you for the master's concern."

Guangshan closed his eyes and twisted the Buddha beads in his hand: "The donor is good for himself." After saying this, he turned and left the main hall.

Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua fought side by side: "Ninghua, let's go back too." ”

"Hmm."

Back in the mansion, the front door and the yard had been cleaned up, and the four of Bai Wei came out one after another: "Miss is back." ”

"Set some meals on the table."

"Yes, miss."

Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi sat on both sides, and no one made a sound during the meal.

In the end, it was Chu Junyi who opened his mouth: "Ning Hua, how do you know Master Guangshan?" ”

"I saved his life unintentionally, and he owes me a favor, this time it's just to eliminate cause and effect."

"That dead monk, is it the one who secretly gave Xiao Huanxi a dream soul?"

"Not bad." Shen Ninghua nodded, "He was the remnant of the previous dynasty, and later escaped to Guangning Temple and became a monk, and the dream soul was left behind from the previous dynasty." ”

Chu Junyi frowned: "It's because of this, but how could the grandmother beside Xiao Huanxi know that monk?" ”

Shen Ninghua paused slightly: "This is also the strangest place I feel, I always feel that things are not ordinary, as if there is a black hand behind my back, pushing things forward little by little." ”

Chu Junyi took her into his arms, feeling the satisfaction in his arms and in his heart at the same time: "If there is really someone behind the manipulation, then we will work together to catch this black hand and cut it off!" ”

Shen Ninghua smiled and hooked her lips: "Okay." ”

The sky is clear, Baili Qingcang ordered a safari, with the lesson of the last step of the frightening safari, this time the arrangement was extraordinarily careful, there were people with sulfur to drive away snakes and insects in advance, Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi were in the accompanying team.

Before leaving, Baili Qingcang had a whim, left the crown prince in charge of the country, and took all the other princes out, even the youngest Nine Emperor Princes.

Baili Anning and Shen Ninghua sat in the same carriage, with a relaxed and happy expression: "Ninghua, the last safari made people palpitate, and this time I must have a good time." Don't worry, my father specially instructed me to arrange and inspect the camp, and there will be no accidents. ”

Shen Ninghua leaned on the pillow and nodded when she heard the words: "Okay." ”

It's just that the reason why an accident is called an accident is because no one can expect it in advance.

Shen Ninghua looked at the birds flying by through the car window, and no one could see the look in his eyes.

The Xiao family is here on this safari, and I don't know when Xiao Jingran is going to make a move this time.

"Ning Hua? Ning Hua, are you alright? ”

Shen Ninghua suddenly came back to his senses: "I was stunned just now, I didn't hear you call me, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay," Baili Anning glanced at the Xiao family in front of the car: "Do you know that the Xiao family is responsible for the safety and protection of this safari, do you say anything will happen?" ”

Shen Ninghua laughed: "Didn't you just say that there would be no accidents?" ”

"My father is still here, it must be my heart, no matter how bold the Xiao family is, can they openly murder the princess?"

Shen Ninghua smiled and didn't make a sound, but secretly thought in his heart: The Xiao family really has that guts!

The camp had been set up, and there was a palace maid arranging things in the tent, and Shen Ninghua took the green finch around.

"Sister Ninghua, long time no see."

As soon as Shen Ninghua came out of the tent, he saw Baili Jinchuan, the second prince of the prince's mansion.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Shouldn't you call me Second Emperor Brother?"

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes: "Second Emperor Brother." ”

Baili Jinchuan stared at Shen Ninghua tightly, with a blatant fanaticism and imperative in his eyes: "There are inevitably dangers around here, it's better to pay more attention, after all, my sister has offended a lot of people in the past few days!" ”

"Thank you Brother Erhuang for reminding me. Bluefinch, let's go back. ”

Looking at the back of Shen Ninghua leaving, Baili Jinchuan sneered, and a chamberlain came over: "Back to His Highness, everything has been arranged." ”

Baili Jinchuan sniffed the faint fragrance that remained in the air, hooked his lips and nodded: "Hmm." ”

Chu Junyi leaned against a tree, looking at the back of Baili Jinchuan leaving, a sneer flashed at the corner of his lips: "It's better not to covet things that don't belong to you, otherwise it's easy to be chopped off!" ”
