Chapter 78: Giving up your wealth to keep you safe

Not good, Ning Qiuyue fell into the water!

Tingzhu's heart seemed to be suddenly grabbed by something, and she shouted at the top of her voice: "Someone's coming, my young lady has fallen into the water!" ”

At this moment, a man suddenly flashed from behind the willow tree, and he jumped into the lake with lightning speed.

He grabbed Ning Qiuyue's waist steadily and swam towards the shore with all his might.

Ning Qiuyue struggled in the water, she could swim by herself, and she didn't need anyone to save her. Although she doesn't have so many old ideas in her mind that men and women don't kiss, it always feels bad to be grabbed by a man like this.

"Hey, what are you doing?" When she looked back, she was startled.

"Aren't you the little prince Li Jingnan?"

Li Jingnan spit out a mouthful of water in his mouth, and he was also a little surprised. "It's you, Ning Qiuyue."

The two are really fated, and he "saved" her twice.

The clothes on his body were all wet with water, and Tingzhu was afraid that the two of them would catch a cold, so he suggested that he should go back to Anping Palace to change his clothes quickly.

But Ning Qiuyue was in the mood, and she suggested that a small bonfire should be set up by the lake, so that she could dry her clothes while keeping warm. Also, there's one more important thing: grilled fish.

"Little prince, you have a good mouth. You wait, I'll go to the lake and catch a few fish and roast them for you. ”

Ning Qiuyue's wilderness survival skills were all honed in the process of robbing tombs, and this little thing was not difficult for her, even catching fish was handy.

Li Jingnan did not object, but felt very novel. Grilling fish in the imperial garden of the palace was probably the first time in his life.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you a branch to use as a tool for spearfishing, it's a little easier."

"Okay. Listen to bamboo, then you can find some dead wood branches nearby. ”

Tingzhu was very hesitant, "Miss, is it really okay for us to do this?" ”

Ning Qiuyue patted Li Jingnan's shoulder very boldly, "With him covered, don't be afraid." ”

Li Jingnan was amused by her, this girl is really special. So he was relieved to listen to Zhu: "It's okay, you just do it." ”

So the three of them worked together, and soon everything was ready.

A bonfire was lit, and the three of them sat in a circle. The crucian carp is gutted and skewered on a branch and grilled on the fire.

Afraid that the atmosphere would be embarrassing, Ning Qiuyue took the initiative to chat with Li Jingnan.

Ning Qiuyue first asked Li Jingnan why she was here, and Li Jingnan told her that she had entered the palace today to visit her aunt and wanted to take a shortcut, so she happened to pass by here.

He had heard about witchcraft outside the palace, although the news he had received was only a few words from the mouths of a few eunuchs. But he was very worried about his aunt, afraid that her aunt would also be involved. So I had nothing to do today, so I went into the palace to see my aunt.

Ning Qiuyue was a little moved, it seems that this little prince is a very warm person.

In addition, Li Jingnan once again advised Ning Qiuyue to be careful, now that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee have a lot of voices against Wan Guifei, I am afraid that there will be a great change in the palace soon.

"Do you mean that our Ning family will not be able to escape?" Ning Qiuyue frowned, a trace of anxiety revealed between her eyebrows.

Although she is not the daughter of the Ning family, she has no blood relationship with the Ning family. But when she heard that the Ning family was going to suffer misfortune, she also wanted to help them as much as she could.

Li Jingnan lowered his head, "I don't know the specific situation. It's just that the war has been tight recently, the treasury has no money, and some ministers have sent advice to the emperor to launch a crackdown on corruption in all provinces and regions. Only when a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials are found and the fat and ointment they collect are filled into the state treasury, can the soldiers on the front line have food and grass to eat. ”

Li Jingnan sighed heavily, "Hey, I heard that the soldiers on the front line now have no rice and no food, and they have already begun to dig wild vegetables everywhere to survive." ”

"Really? That's pathetic. Ning Qiuyue couldn't bear it, recalling the days in Ningfu, there was a full meal up and down the house, and even many times the food that could not be eaten, and the chickens, ducks and fish that could not be eaten were directly poured out, which was even more luxurious than the life in the palace.

Probably all of this is due to Wan Guifei, after all, the Ning Mansion can be developed, and it is indispensable to the gifts of Wan Guifei and the gifts sent by those powerful ministers who want to befriend Wan Guifei.

"That's it, I'll go back to Ningfu in a few days, and I'll ask my father to take the initiative to donate a sum of money to send to the front line."

As soon as he heard this, Li Jingnan's eyes instantly lit up. It seems that this girl really has great wisdom, and in this way, not only can she alleviate the crisis of the country, but she can also save Ning Mansion from escaping.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Ning Qiuyue nodded, "Of course it's true." ”

Actually, that's what I thought. If Imperial Physician Ning is willing to take the initiative to donate a sum of money, he will definitely be able to block Youyou's mouth. On the emperor's side, naturally there is no need to worry about this matter anymore. ”

Li Jingnan is very clear about the situation in the DPRK and China. This money Ning family can't run away, either donate it yourself, or the emperor will order it to find out. The treasury had no money, and the rod could not be beaten, so it could only be taken from a few fat officials.

Ning Yinde is one of the people on the list, but behind him is Wan Guifei, and Wan Guifei is pregnant with a dragon at the moment. The emperor didn't want to upset Concubine Wan at this juncture, so this matter was also pressed again and again.

Li Jingnan said that he was worried about his aunt, Princess Anping, but in his heart, he was more or less running for Ning Qiuyue.

It was Ning Qiuyue who was most involved in witchcraft, and Ning Qiuyue was also the most involved in the fight against corruption.

He really didn't want to see this kind and lovely girl's family ruined, so he found an excuse to enter the palace to send her a message.

I didn't expect her to be very clever and understand everything.

"The fish is cooked, come, you can eat this one."

Ning Qiuyue smiled and handed the grilled fish to Li Jingnan, and then handed another grilled fish to Tingzhu, leaving only the smallest one for herself.

"Let go of eating, it's not enough, I'll go to the lake to catch it for you later."

Meow~~

What was that?

Sounds like a cat barking.

The three of them looked into the haystack, where there was a rustling sound. "Meow-" Suddenly a cat meowed, and out of the haystack came a fat big orange cat with a rag doll in its mouth.

"It's Ning Xiaotang!" Ning Qiuyue recognized this orange cat as the one she had lost in Yingfangyuan.

"Oh my God, miss. That rag doll is the witch doll in Yingfang Garden! Seeing this, Zhu was scared half to death.

Fortunately, Li Jingnan was present, he frowned, calmly grabbed the rag doll, and threw it into the lake. "Go, it's time for this to be over!"
