The blood stains of the Chengqian Hall accumulated a thick layer on the palace road of white marble, and the palace people carried the water to wash it for two whole hours before it was washed away.

The officials in the main hall had withdrawn, and only the royal people were still seated.

The third prince, the fourth prince, and the sixth prince did not dare to make a noise at this time, and only lowered their heads to minimize their sense of existence, for fear of attracting the attention of Baili Qingcang again.

The second prince lowered his eyes slightly, but his mind was closely focused on Shen Ninghua.

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua knelt in the hall, and the sky had gradually brightened, making the candles in the hall look a little pale and weak.

"Father, please allow the sons and his wife to leave."

Baili Qingcang's expression was silent: "Give me a reason, I don't want to hear any reasons for fear of retaliation, if you are really afraid, how dare you be so nonsense?" "Fighting against hundreds of officials on his own, he pinched a cold sweat in his heart for them.

Baili Junyi raised his eyes: "Father, what reason can the two sons and ministers have?" If you really want to say it, it is that the two sons are tired of staying in Kyoto, thinking about going out to live happily for a while, since Ning Hua returned to Beijing, he has experienced a lot, just after marrying his son, he doesn't know how many frames and embarrassments he has suffered, and his sons can't bear it. ”

Baili Qingcang opened his mouth slightly, and sighed slightly, how many times even with his support, the two of them were still almost framed, he knew about this matter, but he just wanted to let them go, he felt reluctant. The more he saw the performance of his other sons, the more he felt that the two were precious.

"You ...... You two...... Rest assured, I will protect you completely, and you don't have to hide from anyone. ”

"Father," Shen Ninghua raised his head slightly, his thick eyelashes fluttered slightly, leaving a faint soft shadow on his white jade-like cheeks, "Father, you haven't listened to Erchen play the guqin in its entirety, how about playing a song for you today?" ”

Baili Qingcang didn't know why she suddenly said it on the guqin, but looking at her face, he couldn't say anything to refuse: "Okay, how do you think of playing a song for your father?" ”

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly, did not answer, and turned around to signal the waiter to bring the table in. Baili Junyi personally put the table for her.

Shen Ninghua raised his head: "Father, can I borrow your green qi for use?" ”

"Naturally." Baili Qingcang asked people to take the green qi.

Shen Ninghua sat down and plucked the strings gently, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Father, I remember that the second prince's side concubine played a piece of Lanling music before, and today, my son will also play this song." ”

Baili Qingcang trembled violently, raised his eyes to look at Shen Ninghua sitting on the ground, and found that the clothes on her body were slightly familiar.

He remembered that when Xia Jingyan played Lanling music for him before she got married, she was also wearing a red dress like this, which was as beautiful as fire.

He opened his mouth, but saw that Shen Ninghua had already raised his hand, and the first piano sound, like mercury, suddenly pulled him into the artistic conception of the song.

Shen Ninghua plucked the strings, and the fierce music flowed out.

It's just that she always has a shallow smile on her face, plain and gentle, gentle......

This song describes the battlefield that is difficult to find, but in her hands, the battlefield is still cruel, but it is no longer an endless killing, but to protect, protect the wife and children behind her, protect the home behind her, and protect the land behind her!

The waiting of the wife and children and parents at home is still worrying, but the waiting is no longer hopeless and obsessive, but full of confidence and pride, they believe that they can finally return from the departed, believe that the war will eventually be won, and believe that the country will eventually be strong.

Baili Qingcang's eyes were filled with tears, and he tried hard not to fall: Jingyan, are you still weird? I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have stabbed the Xia family because of the power in my hands, and I shouldn't have ruined your life because of unwarranted jealousy......

The passionate music gradually subsided, the smile on Shen Ninghua's face gradually deepened, and a slightly cheerful voice came out one after another.

It is as if the days of going through the battlefield and waiting for them have finally been exchanged for peace, and the joy is extremely pure, pure without the slightest resentment or fear, like the clearest and most transparent stream.

Baili Qingcang looked at Shen Ninghua in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses until the music ended for a long time: "This last paragraph ......"

Shen Ninghua took out a piece of silk from his sleeve, which was covered with dense handwriting: "Father, this is what I found out when I sorted out my mother's relics some time ago, it is a piece of musical score, only the second half, Erchen has been looking for a long time and has not been able to complete the first half, and finally accidentally found that it is extremely suitable with Lan Lingle." ”

Baili Qingcang took the silk in a daze: "You ...... Are you saying that this piece of music written by your mother is followed by Lanling music? ”

"Yes, Erchen thinks it should be like this." Shen Ninghua's eyes had a slight light in his eyes, "Father, I heard that my mother likes the northwest very much, saying that the lonely smoke of the northwest desert and the sunset over the long river are the most magnificent and beautiful." Now that the northwest is in the midst of a drought, Erchen is willing to go with Prince Yi to relieve the disaster and govern the northwest well, which can be regarded as a matter of concern for his father. ”

Baili Qingcang's fingers trembled violently, and a tear finally couldn't help but fall:

"Yes, your mother has high ambitions, she once wanted to fight on the battlefield like a man, but after being discovered by the old master of Xia, she was severely taught a lesson, and she blocked her anger for several days, and finally I gave her an eagle, so I was not angry."

With a smile on his face, Shen Ninghua silently waited for Baili Qingcang to finish speaking, and after a long time, he seemed to come back to his senses from his thoughts: "Okay, since you don't want to stay in Kyoto, then go out for a walk." I don't stop you anymore, you can choose where you want to go, but there is one point, you have to come back every once in a while to see me. ”

The two knelt on the ground and bowed to Baili Qingcang.

Shen Ninghua said: "Father, Erchen can't rest assured of you, this is a pill I make to strengthen my body, take one a day is enough for half a year, you have to take good care of your body, it won't be long before Erchen and Junyi will come back to see you with Xuan Chen and Luo Yao." ”

"Okay."

Baili Junyi continued: "Father, don't worry, your sons will definitely take good care of Ning Hua and your grandchildren, and they will come back to see you after a while." ”

"Well, it's okay, it's not that I won't come back, don't talk about that. I know you two are good boys. Baili Qingcang sighed slightly, "Go back and pack your things well, and think carefully about where to go, the place in the northwest is too remote and deserted, it's okay to go there once in a while, but it's really inappropriate to go there with two children." ”

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi glanced at each other, with a smile in their eyes: "Father, the northwest is very good, Erchen and Junyi have already discussed, after going to the northwest for disaster relief, where to live for a while." ”

"It's okay for you two to go and endure hardships, but don't take my grandchildren and granddaughters, they are not as rough and thick as you, okay, you go back and think about it, I am also tired, and I have tossed for so long......"

"Father!" As soon as Baili Qingcang stood up, he heard Baili Jinchuan's cold voice sound.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Baili Jinchuan glanced at Baili Junyi, and finally fell on Shen Ninghua: "Father, you said before that the prince would not leave Beijing, and gave the fifth brother two choices, and now they have chosen the latter, do you want Chrysostom Yuyan to remove him from the position of prince?" ”

The third prince and the others were secretly anxious in their hearts, and they didn't want to watch Baili Junyi's wishes come true, after all, a prince let him go, it can almost be said that he is the highest except for the emperor, and it is not easy to buy people's hearts and gather forces wherever they want, but they plan to completely empty him once he goes out, so that he will never come back.

It's just that they made a mistake and didn't dare to come forward, but they didn't expect the second prince to remember this stubble, now it's okay, watching Baili Junyi suffer, they are relieved.

Baili Qingcang frowned violently: "What, do you think your fifth brother and Prince Yi are in the way?" "I originally thought that the second child was a safe person, did he also have other thoughts?

"How can it be, the sons are just maintaining the majesty of their father."

"Oh, you're kind." Baili Qingcang sneered, "Then what title do you think is best for your fifth brother to leave?" ”

Baili Jinchuan suppressed the anger in his heart, he knew that his words were reckless, but for him to watch Shen Ninghua leave was tantamount to stripping a piece of his heart, but he wanted to stop it but couldn't find a suitable excuse, because he didn't have any position!

Baili Junyi smiled indifferently: "Father, what the second emperor brother said makes sense, you opened your mouth before to let your son choose, and your son chose to stay away from Kyoto, then the position of the prince will be terrible, but it doesn't matter if you are a prince or not, anyway, you can't fake the fact that your son is the prince, and having this name is enough to bluff the people below are obedient." ”

"Like what, since I opened my mouth, then let's demote from the prince to the prince of the county, although the name of the prince is gone, but you can still enjoy it, double share of the prince."

For Baili Junyi's performance, Baili Qingcang was extremely satisfied, although he was exempted from the position of the prince, but this double share of Lu is a real embodiment of favor, so that even if he goes out of Kyoto, no one dares to underestimate them.

Baili Jinchuan was anxious in his heart: "Father ...... Emperor"

"Okay, aren't you satisfied? Don't you know anything about your brother? Baili Qingcang was full of impatience, and after reprimanding Baili Jinchuan snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The third prince and others choked their wrists, what a good opportunity, the second prince didn't grasp it, it's really useless! Baili Qingcang has left, and it doesn't make sense for them to stay, so let's hurry back and think about how to make the treasury full.

Baili Jinchuan walked in front of Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua, with a hidden anger on his face: "Ninghua, you must go?" ”

Shen Ninghua's expression was indifferent: "My husband is leaving, I naturally want to accompany him, and there are still a lot of things to pack, so I left first." ”

Looking at her ruthless appearance, Baili Jinchuan reached out and wanted to pull her sleeve. Baili Jun slammed out to protect Shen Ninghua behind him, grabbed Baili Jinchuan's wrist, and beat him aside: "Second Emperor Brother, please respect yourself." ”

Shen Ninghua didn't want to be entangled, so she reached out and held Baili Junyi's hand: "Let's go." ”

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Baili Jinchuan gritted his teeth with hatred, at this time his entire arm hurt almost nothing, but it was not as fierce as the pain in his heart: "Shen Ninghua, you will come back, I will let you come back!" ”
