Chapter 944: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
Since martial law has been imposed in the capital, although such martial law is not a matter for Ning Yue at all, Ning Yue does not want to do anything during this critical period. Mo Wuxian was critically ill and fell into fainting, and he has not yet woken up. The capital is chaotic and noisy, so let the Manchu Dynasty and the military worry about it, Ning Yue doesn't need to find a sense of existence.
In the capital, Mo Wuxian also rewarded Ning Yue and Qianduxue with a house, located in the prime location of the capital, where dignitaries gathered. Ning Yue entered the house in a low-key manner, and the originally cold and quiet Ning Mansion instantly became lively.
Although this mansion had been given to Ning Yue for many years, to be honest, Ning Yue and Qian Duxue had never come to stay for even a day. However, Xiaoxue will stay for a few days when she enters Beijing, but soon Xiaoxue will be taken to the palace by Mo Wuxian.
Ningfu is not magnificent, but it is also luxurious in its low profile. As for luxury, Ning Yue and Qian Duxue didn't care very much. But the demeanor of Qianduxue and Ning Yue made everyone in Ning Mansion walk with their heads held high.
More than once, Ning Yue heard the maid in the house talking about herself, saying how dignified and virtuous the lady next door was, but compared to my wife, she had become something, and how majestic the general on the other side was, but in front of my lord, she was a local chicken and a dog.
Boring people always like to compare with each other. Ning Yue didn't pay attention to this, so she didn't hear it. Maybe this group of little girls and young men have been holding back for a long time, and finally the master came back to show off.
Ning Yue waited patiently in the mansion at first, playing the piano and painting with Qianduxue, reading books and practicing swords. But after five days, Mo Wuxian has not yet come to his senses. Ning Yue's heart couldn't help but rise.
But this time, perhaps, the situation is really serious. The martial law in the capital is getting stricter day by day, and on the second day of Ning Yue's entry into Beijing, Sima Jingming's forbidden army has returned to Zhongzhou, and the direction of the eight gates of the capital is guarded by a large army.
And on the third day, the princes and princes who were released also returned to the capital, as well as the festival envoys who guarded Kyushu, all of them were rushed back to the capital one by one.
In an instant, the undercurrent of the capital surged. Ning Yue lowered her head and sat on the stone table with her eyebrows furrowed. It's already a hot summer day, and the flowers in the garden have withered, but the trees are lush.
Qian Duxue smoothed the strings between her fingers, and slowly raised her head to see the sorrow between Ning Yue's eyebrows, "If you are really not at ease, why don't you go to the palace, with your cultivation, the palace and the outside are originally like no one's land." ”
"The emperor's illness has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and there is no way to return to heaven, and it is useless for me to go. The situation in Da Zhou is not something I should have interfered in. Tianya has always been in the palace, and I didn't have a chance to meet him.
Life and death are fate, blessings and disasters are in the sky, and I have seen a lot of battles in the primeval forbidden land. Birth, old age, sickness and death are common in the world. The emperor is critically ill, and it is not unacceptable, so he went to the palace to see him, trying to add sadness. I'm not worried about that. ”
"You're worried about peonies?"
"Maybe, I don't even know what I'm upset about, I'm just a little annoyed and a little upset. But at this moment, it is when Da Zhou needs me, but I can't avoid it. ”
"I heard from the next person that the nine envoys and the ten princes have all come to the capital. The qi in the capital has become more and more turbid, didn't Xiao Xuan send a secret message yesterday, they are calm on the surface, but they have frequent contact in private. You don't seem to want to meddle?"
Twilight's question suddenly made Ning Yue's eyes show a hint of surprise, "Why should I interfere?" Ning Yue looked at Twilight Snow's puzzled expression and instantly smiled.
"Are you worried that there are people with different intentions who want to make trouble? The succession of Tianya is originally a certainty, and it is not something that anyone can change or reach out.
But as the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, Tianya's preferences, temperament, and future statecraft are what they are most concerned about. After Tianya inherited the great treasure, how to be the first to be the first to be the first to take the lead is what he is most concerned about. Frequent contact is nothing more than an exchange of information and is not in the way.
Besides, even if some people have two hearts, aren't we still here? The reason why I dare not leave half a step away from the capital is that the only person I am wary of is the Immortal Emperor alone.
Now the Xuanyuan Ancient Emperor is a sword hanging above our heads, and the Immortal Emperor is even more. The Xuanyuan Ancient Emperor may not destroy the Great Zhou, but the Immortal Emperor will. Merely...... The Immortal Emperor didn't know how to lay it out, and the Xuanyuan Ancient Emperor, whether it really fell into the hands of the Immortal Emperor, there were many miscellaneous things, so I couldn't calm down......"
The dusk is still so dazzling and beautiful, but for those who are anxious, the dusk seems to have a kind of urging to dare to ride a horse and whip. Ning Yue and Qian Duxue had eaten early, and were about to sneak into the palace to see the situation in the palace, when suddenly someone came to report that someone was in the palace.
The servants of the court came quietly, as if they were afraid that others would know that they were coming. A simple bamboo shed carriage slowly came to the outside of Ningfu and stopped. The white-haired old eunuch stood respectfully outside the door of the Ning Mansion and waited.
The dignitaries and dignitaries in the neighborhood looked at the Ning Mansion opposite through the crack in the door, and at this time, they suddenly realized that Ning Yue had arrived in the capital unconsciously.
beat their chests one by one with remorse, if you want to say that today, who is the most favored and trusted person by the Son of Heaven and the prince, it is undoubtedly Ning Yue, the prince of Dingguo. Although they didn't know the height that Ning Yue was standing at the moment, their turbulent hearts regarded Ning Yue as the most shining potential stock.
The door slowly opened, and Ning Yue and Twilight Xue walked hand in hand to the door. The old eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down respectfully in Ning Yue, "Old slave Li Shanxi, meet the princess and the princess, the emperor ordered the prince to enter the palace immediately, and ask the prince to move with the slave." ”
"Hmm!" Ning Yue responded, turned her head to Qian Duxue and said, "Dusk Xue, you wait at home, I'm in the palace." ”
"Good!" Qian Duxue whispered, and Ning Yue followed the eunuch into the carriage. Silently, the night was quiet, and the carriage moved slowly and leisurely. Ning Yue looked Li Shanxi in front of her up and down, and her eyes were even more shining. This old man, who is not good-looking, actually has the cultivation of the unity of heaven and man.
"The emperor is awake?" Ning Yue asked lightly.
"Yes! I woke up at dusk today, I was in good spirits, and after waking up, I drank three bowls of porridge and dealt with some state affairs. Li Shanxi's answer was decent, and his tone was also very calm, without the slightest hint. But after Ning Yue listened, her heart couldn't help sinking.
Immediately after waking up, he was in good spirits and could handle state affairs. This is not a good thing in the current situation. In the depths of his eyes, a faint sadness couldn't help but appear.
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace?"
"Yes, since the emperor fell ill, the prince has been accompanying the emperor day and night, and he is a model of filial piety. ”
"Who else is by the emperor's side?" Ning Yue asked with a frown again.
"The six elders of the cabinet are here, and Generalissimo Sima has just entered the palace by order, and the three old sect masters of the Zongren Mansion are also there. Li Shanxi's words suddenly stirred up a huge wave in Ning Yue's heart. Such a lineup is basically going to issue a succession letter. It seems that Mo Wuxian's body may really be unable to hold on, thinking of eight years ago, when he first saw Mo Wuxian's peerless demeanor, Ning Yue's nose couldn't help but feel sour.
The carriage swayed into the palace, and there was a dead silence along the way. After entering the palace, Li Shanxi directly took Ning Yue to the door of Mo Wuxian's dormitory, "Lord Wang, the old slave will be sent to the prince, you can go in by yourself." ”
"I'm tired!" Ning Yue bowed her head and answered, and slowly walked out of the steps towards the palace. Ning Yue has entered the palace many times over the years, but this is also the first time he has entered Mo Wuxian's bedroom.
Unlike Tianque Palace, Mo Wuji's dormitory even looks deserted compared to ordinary large households. In the empty palace, there were few decent furnishings.
It's already June, even if it's already dark. Ordinary people can sweat hot even if they wear short shirts. But in Mo Wuxi's bedroom, there is still a stove burning.
The attendants waiting for dispatch on both sides were even more hot sweat dripping down. But even so, they didn't move one by one, and they didn't even stretch out their sleeves to wipe the sweat from their foreheads. Everyone's feet were soaked with sweat.
Ning Yue entered the dormitory, and no one reported it inside. A heat wave like a flame swept towards Ning Yue's body. With Ning Yue's martial arts at the moment, she can already survive the cold and heat, but this extreme heat is trivial to Ning Yue.
Before he got closer, Mo Wuxian's voice came from inside, judging from the sound, Mo Wuxian was indeed in good spirits. Ning Yue approached, and the sharp-eyed chamberlain entered the bedroom early to report to Mo Wuxian. So when Ning Yue had just come to the door, Mo Wuxian's deep voice came from inside.
"Ning Yue, come in, I'll be waiting for you!"
Stepping into the bedroom, the swept heat wave was like the sea in a storm, and in front of Mo Wuxian's window, there were more than a dozen people standing neatly. Each of them can determine the national politics of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the next ten years, and each of them is a person who stands at the peak of the Great Zhou official system.
His eyes swept around, although Sima Jingming was old, his cultivation realm was already innate, and this scorching heat was still within the range of his bearing. But it was really hard for a group of pavilion elders and a few clan masters, the clothes on their bodies were already soaked with sweat, if it weren't for a few buckets of cold water around them and kept pouring them into their mouths, it was estimated that they would have suffered from heat stroke in a few minutes.
Mo Wuxian, who had always been sympathetic to his subordinates, turned a blind eye to it, and when he saw Ning Yue coming, he even beckoned Ning Yue with bright eyes, "Ning Yue, I heard Sima Jingming say, this time the Blood God Sect was menacing and was successfully repelled by you? Come and tell me, what happened?"
