The south gate of the Ningfu Imperial Palace is wide open, and the Imperial Forest Army outside the south gate is five steps away, and they stand neatly on both sides of the avenue outside the south gate. Ning Qiwei stood on the city tower outside the south gate, overlooking the five miles outside the south gate. The cornices are red tiles, so not spectacular.

"Click" A sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and a team wearing armor and riding war horses came towards the south gate of the palace. "It's Daddy!" Ning Rong, who was standing beside Ning Qiwei, shouted happily.

The team marched to the aisle in front of the south gate, and Prince Ning Yu turned over and dismounted. The others dismounted. Ning Yu lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Old minister Ning Yu sees the emperor." The entourage also knelt on the ground: "The ministers see the emperor." Ning Qiwei hurriedly walked down the city tower, walked to Ning Yu, and helped Ning Yu with both hands: "Uncle Huang, don't do this salute." ”

Ning Yu looked Ning Qiwei up and down with a smile, and said with a kind smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, our emperor is so handsome, no wonder Rong'er often mentions the emperor in her letters." Hehe! After Ning Yu said this, he couldn't help but laugh "hehe". Ning Qiwei smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle Huang said he was laughing!" ”

Ning Yu put away his smile, he looked at Ning Qiwei, and said, "Is the first emperor okay?" Ning Qiwei's smile disappeared: "My father has passed away for more than half a year. At that time, the border was tight, and the imperial nephew was afraid that you would be distracted and did not dare to inform you. "The first emperor just left. Hey, Ning Yu came back late. Can the emperor let his ministers worship the heroic spirit of the first emperor? Ning Qiwei stepped out of the way and said, "Uncle Huang, please." ”

"Ning Rong has seen Dad!" Ning Rong didn't know when she had come to Ning Yu, and she saluted Ning Yu. Ning Yu saw Ning Rong in front of him, and he asked in surprise, "Is this Rong'er?" It's been a few years, and you were still a little girl when your father arrived at the border. Now she has grown into a slim girl. Huh..."

"Lord Wang, this is your daughter Lord Ningrong! I didn't expect you to be a reckless man with five big and three rough, and your daughter is so beautiful and virtuous. Hehe...", a man in his fifties in the armor of a commander said with a smile.

"Why, I want to have a daughter, right?" Hehe..."Ning Yu said narrowly. "Old fellow, now your daughter, will be my daughter-in-law in the future. I have nothing to be jealous of. Hehe... Yin'er, come here! The man reached out and tugged at the sleeve of a teenager next to him.

Ning Qiwei's eyes fell on the young man, her eyebrows were delicate, her aura was lofty, and she seemed familiar. The young man stepped forward and bowed his hand: "I have seen the emperor, the prince, and the county lord." The man patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Yin'er, when you see the emperor, you should kneel down and salute." The young man wanted to kneel, but Ning Qiwei hurriedly stopped: "Excuse me, excuse me." Ladies and gentlemen, hard work! The young man stood up and shouted, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

Ning Qiwei asked with a smile, "Which minister's son is this?" Ning Yu suddenly said, "I forgot to introduce it to the emperor." This is the old general Liu Haiqing. Ning Yu pointed at the man and said. Ning Yu turned his hand away, pointed to the young man next to him and said, "This is his son Liu Qingyin." Ning Yu smiled and patted the young man's arm.

"Oh, this is General Liu Qingyin. It's really a hero out of a teenager. Ning Qiwei smiled faintly. Hehe... Your Majesty, you give a comment. The child and the lord of Ningrong can also be compared. Liu Haiqing smiled narrowly. Ning Qiwei didn't know how to answer for a while, she sneered: "It's all good, it's all good." ”

"Hehe... Even the emperor praised them for being very compatible, and it seems that the county lord will definitely be a good daughter-in-law of our Liu family. Liu Haiqing said to Ning Yu narrowly. You yourself misinterpret the emperor's meaning. The emperor is saying that both of them are fine. The emperor didn't say that they were compatible. Ning Yu retorted. The emperor meant that they were compatible. Liu Haiqing smiled. You're going to cheat. Ning Yu glared at his friend unhappily.

Liu Haiqing and Ning Yu were arguing with each other, without considering the feelings of the people around them. Ning Qiwei looked at the two elders who were still arguing with a smile, Ning Rong looked at Ning Qiwei with shyness and shame on her face, and Ning Qiwei's smile unconsciously turned into a bitter smile. Liu Qingyin stood opposite Ning Qiwei, and he smiled awkwardly.

In the Mingde Palace, Ning Qiwei took the lead in kneeling in front of Ning Xi's spiritual seat. Ning Yu and Liu Haiqing knelt side by side. Ning Qiwei raised the incense in her hand and bowed three times, got up and handed the incense to Xu Chang, who walked to the incense case and inserted the incense into the incense burner. Next, Xu Chang repeated the action just now, and inserted the incense in the hands of Ning Yu and Liu Haiqing into the incense burner respectively.

Ning Qiwei turned around and walked out of the Mingde Palace, followed by Ning Yu and Liu Haiqing. "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Liang Rui, the second son of Prime Minister Liang, had dealings with Lin Yu. What's going on? Ning Yu asked suspiciously. Ning Qiwei turned a corner and said, "The imperial nephew suspects that this is a conspiracy. But now the court is disheartened and has no main heart. Uncle Huang is an old minister of the three dynasties, and his prestige is supreme. Now it's for you to come back and support the emperor's nephew. ”

"Your Majesty, what do you need Uncle Huang to do?" Ning Yu said. Ning Qiwei walked up to a gazebo, and she sat on a stone bench next to a stone table. Ning Yu and Liu Haiqing also sat down. "Uncle Huang, the old general must know that Prime Minister Liang Jingcheng is dedicated to the government, and sometimes it is inevitable to be excessive, so he arouses the dissatisfaction of the minister. There is a way that the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and now that Liang Rui has been charged with a crime for no reason, many ministers have added fuel to the fire, and it will be a political turmoil. ”

"The old minister understands that the emperor asked the ministers to come back and sing white faces with the ministers." Ning Yu bowed his head. "Well, that's exactly what the imperial nephew meant. In addition, if the prime minister complains of illness, you will temporarily take his place. Uncle Huang, the imperial nephew knows that you don't like the dispute between the court, as long as you pass this hurdle. You can do whatever you want. All right? Ning Qiwei said earnestly.

"Rong'er let me help you, do I dare not help! Hehe..."Ning Yu said with a smile. Ning Qiwei turned her worries into joy: "Thank you, Uncle Huang." "Don't thank me. As long as the emperor is good to Rong'er. Ning Yu said with a smile. "Uh... Good... Good? Ning Qiwei was a little incoherent.

Ning Qiwei hurriedly changed the topic: "Old general, you will temporarily take Liang Rui's position when you return to the court." "Yes! The old minister obeyed. Liu Haiqing arched his hand and said. The emperor, the old minister has a problem that he does not understand, and the emperor repeatedly emphasizes in his secret decree that he must take Yin'er back to the court. Don't know what's going on? ”

Ning Qiwei said with a smile: "I have long heard that the old general has a resourceful son under his knees, and I want to see his brilliance, so I am so anxious. Hehe! The old general Mo Duoxin. Ning Qiwei said with a smile. Liu Haiqing smiled innocently.

Ning Qiwei said with a smile: "I have sent someone to clean up the mansion of the imperial uncle and the old general. In order to welcome the return of the imperial uncle, Princess Lin has moved to the palace. Ning Rong is waiting for Uncle Huang in the imperial study, let's go! After Ning Qiwei finished speaking, she stood up from the stone bench.

The autumn wind gusted, caressing Ning Qiwei's face. Ning Qiwei felt a little tired, and she lay on the bookcase in the imperial study with her eyes closed.

"You... You..."Ning Rong's exclamation woke Ning Qiwei up. Ning Qiwei opened her eyes suddenly, and a familiar figure carrying a sword moved within Ning Qiwei's blurred vision. Ning Qiwei rubbed her eyes, she looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised. "Liu Qingyin, no, you don't call Liu Qingyin. What is your name? Ning Qiwei stared at the filthy young man in front of her and said.

"Your Majesty, I think we'll talk about it alone." The boy said with a sneer. "What if I don't agree?" Ning Qiwei said with the corners of her mouth tilted. "Then don't blame me for being rude." He pressed the sharp tip of his sword against Ning Rong's neck. Ning Rong's whole person froze suddenly, and she stared at Ning Qiwei with a pale face. "How dare you do it." Ning Qiwei gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm.

The young man put away his sword and said calmly, "I'm just here to negotiate a deal with you." "Deal? What deal do I have to negotiate with you? Ning Qiwei asked puzzled. The young man smiled: "As long as the emperor is willing to talk to me alone, I believe that this deal will definitely be negotiated." "Oh, you're so confident." Ning Qiwei smiled indifferently. "Of course." The boy said arrogantly. "Okay, I'm going to see what deal we can get." Ning Qiwei said lightly.

In the imperial study, Ning Qiwei and the young man sat face-to-face at the tea table. Ning Qiwei said calmly: "Now it's just you and me, just say anything." The young man stared at Ning Qiwei for a long time before he said jokingly: "I didn't expect that the dignified emperor of Ning Mansion would be a woman dressed as a man." ”

When Ning Qiwei heard this, she was shocked, and she forced herself to calm down: "It seems that you are here to make trouble." We don't have much to talk about. Ning Qiwei stood up angrily and wanted to walk away. You can leave now. But you don't regret it. See for yourself this secret message. The boy snapped.

As soon as the young man's voice fell, Ning Qiwei stopped taking steps, and when she looked back, the young man held up a secret decree with neat handwriting and a little yellowed paper. Ning Qiwei recognized the handwriting on it at a glance as Ning Xi's handwriting. Ning Qiwei couldn't help but lean in to take a closer look. Ning Qiwei saw the above content clearly, and she was shocked: Is this the secret decree that was originally in the purse!. How did it get to his hands. Liang Rui, Liang Rui, I'm not done with you.

Ning Qiwei stretched out her hand to snatch the secret decree, the young man's hand shrank, and Ning Qiwei's palm grabbed the air. Ning Qiwei didn't grab it, she straightened up and said flatly, "Can you tell me where you got this from?" The young man replied simply: "In the lost box of Yichen Palace." ”

"You... If you're the thief, I'm right to be suspicious. Can you tell me how you found this secret message? Ning Qiwei said lightly. The boy replied succinctly: "I stumbled upon it during a night visit to the palace." "What are you doing at night visiting the palace?" "You don't need to know this? You just need to know what our deal is. The young man said with a gloomy face. Ning Qiwei said lightly: "Tell me about the deal you want." ”

"You help me capture and kill the Queen Mother of Yulin Kingdom, and I will return this secret decree to you." The young man's eyes were shining, and he said viciously. "Kill the Queen Mother of the Feather Forest Kingdom? Who are you? What grievances do you have with the Queen Mother of Yulin Kingdom? Ning Qiwei's chest was full of questions. Don't ask anything. Just kill her, and I'll give you back the secret decree. The boy's eyes were red.
