The man in black knew that the person in front of him didn't plan to pursue his unauthorized entry into the mansion, anyway, now that the letter has been delivered, the task given to him by Liang Zhou has been completed, and the next thing is none of his business.

When the man in black left, he was a little speechless, he walked to the window and was about to go back through the window and glanced back at Li Hanning, but he still didn't say what he wanted to say, and he knew in his heart that people in their position should also know in their hearts, and they didn't need to say more.

When the man in black turned over the window, the wind that stayed in front of the window shook the candles on the table for a while, and the candlelight swayed slightly with the place where the wind swayed, Li Hanning walked over and sent the letter in his hand to the firelight, while watching the flames close at hand devour the envelope from the bottom to the top, until the entire envelope turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

She really wanted to know that after so many years, there were still living relatives in the family, and who set the fire before in her memory. But as Liang Zhou, he wouldn't tell her that he had already left Chang'an tonight, but he secretly sent someone over to deliver this letter, which naturally had his intentions.

But she won't go to southern Xinjiang alone to take risks, especially with her current status, Xiao Ce will start preparing for the war in southern Xinjiang after the spring next year, after all, southern Xinjiang is the place of Yan Wang Weixing and Liang Zhou, and she will never make extraneous branches at the most critical time.

As for what she wanted, Li Hanning's eyes fell on the ashes on the ground, and in the future, when the war is over, she will find another opportunity to investigate clearly.

There is no hurry.

In the morning of Luoyang, there were many more Praetorian Guards on the streets than usual, and there were many people around the place where the notices were posted at the city gates, and as soon as the morning dawned, there were new notices one after another.

The people around couldn't help but talk:

"It's—"

"Don't you understand this? Last night, there was a death knell in the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to succeed him. ”

Xiao Ce stayed in the palace for one day, and on the second day, he wore white mourning clothes to the court, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also followed Dai Xiao, and their arms were also wrapped with white cotton cloth.

The guards on the side shouted loudly: "There is a book to play, and there is nothing to retreat." ”

During the period, Ning Yu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, all the rituals and expenses of the first emperor's funeral are currently in charge of the household department, and the expenses and specifications used are listed on the fold, and Your Majesty is also invited to take a look." ”

Ning Yu quickly turned around and glanced at the ministers around him: "As for the period of filial piety for the first emperor, there should not be any use of troops and weddings within a year, but the first emperor specially explained that he also wanted to see the current majesty in the Central Plains, so the former does not need to delve into it, this is the first emperor's dictation, I don't know if other ministers can have objections?" ”

These ministers, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't speak, everyone knows what Ning Yu means, everyone can be in the same hall as ministers now, they are naturally smart people, and sometimes Ning Yu means Xiao Ce.

Sure enough, when he saw that there was silence in the main hall, Xue Rui, the left minister on the side, stood up and said to Ning Yu from a distance:

"Since this is what the first emperor meant, we naturally have no objections."

The two prime ministers both expressed their attitudes, usually one of them is in charge of literature and the other is in charge of martial arts, and there were many disagreements with each other, but today it is rare to have the same attitude.

The other old ministers quickly understood that it was difficult for them to disagree with this singing and harmony, so why bother touching the brows of their young majesty for such a trivial matter.

So the old ministers all knelt down one after another: "The ministers have no objections. ”

Xiao Ce sat on the throne high, glanced down at the bottom, and said quietly:

"Get up."

After the court ended today, Ning Yu also took a special look at Li Hanning.

"These are good for the fetus, I happened to stay in the palace for a while before I came, listening to what the imperial doctors said."

Li Hanning's eyes fell on the several mahogany boxes he brought over, which seemed to exude a faint fragrance of medicine, and there was naturally no need to doubt the things he sent, but Li Hanning also knew that he was so busy, and he came to see him recently, because someone secretly told her what happened in the court.

Ning Yu didn't know how to speak, and it was rare to be a little hesitant:

"I think about it, I have something to tell you, but I'm afraid you'll be angry."

Li Hanning actually knows what makes him so difficult to speak now, in fact, it is not a big deal, for Li Hanning, maybe it is still a good thing, she has this excuse, she does not have to stay in Luoyang for a long time temporarily.

Li Hanning looked at Ning Yu and said frankly: "The military advisor is worried, I will be angry because of the military advisor's advice in the court today, right?" ”

Ning Yu was stunned, and she didn't know who told her this, they obviously didn't delay too long when they just left the court, so they went straight to the prince's mansion, and even Xiao Ce hadn't come back yet, but Li Hanning already knew everything that happened in the court.

Everyone is a smart person, and Ning Yu naturally knows that since she already knows, there is no need to hide it:

"Yes, His Royal Highness's marriage stopped for a year because of filial piety in order to block the mouths of those old ministers, you also know, those old ministers don't want to fight, not to mention that Your Majesty has always wanted to drive the southern Xinjiang to conquer in person, and they don't want Your Majesty to risk their lives, so they have to-"

Ning Yu paused for a moment, and then said frankly: "Actually, Your Majesty has a deep affection for you now, and you are pregnant with Your Majesty's child, so the matter of your status will be counted as a year later." ”

You will also be the only queen of the Great Zhou.

But it's a pity that Ning Yu didn't know that many things could happen in this year, especially after the birth of this child.

Li Hanning replied as usual: "Don't worry, I won't be angry about these things, not to mention that the war in southern Xinjiang is also what I think in my heart, if the war can go well, then these are nothing." ”

Ning Yu stood up and quickly saluted Li Hanning: "General Li is reasonable, it seems that I am too worried about this matter." ”

Li Hanning replied quietly: "The military advisor doesn't have to salute, I can't stand it, Ace has just succeeded to the throne, Xue Rui used to manage more things in the Luoyang military camp, and many people in the court will rely on you in the future, and the military advisor is the hardest one." ”

"But now I'm a little sleepy." Li Hanning said to Ning Yu: "Now that I am pregnant, it is not convenient to send the military division out, please forgive me." ”

She's giving an eviction order.

That's fine.

Ning Yu is a smart person, so he can naturally understand her words, it just so happens that Li Hanning seems to really don't care about this matter today, and the purpose of his trip here can be regarded as achieved, there is nothing wrong with him and Li Hanning, Ning Yu was originally worried that she would think that Xiao Ce instructed him to do this, so as not to cause some estrangement between the two of them, but now it seems that Li Hanning did not take this matter to heart, but he thought about it too much.

Ning Yu did see that Li Hanning in front of her seemed to be a little tired, since she really wanted to rest, it was naturally inconvenient to disturb her here, Ning Yu hurriedly got up and said: "In this case, General Li should rest, His Royal Highness is still busy in the palace today, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back in time." ”

Li Hanning looked at his back and walked from the courtyard to the door from a distance.

She had probably guessed the purpose of Ning Yu's coming here, and there was probably another meaning that she was worried that she would misunderstand Xiao Ce, after all, something similar had happened in the barracks before, but their military advisor had really thought too much about it this time.

*

After a few days, Li Hanning just got up and heard the sound of busy footsteps in the courtyard, opened the window and looked, and saw that those guards and maids were busy carrying something, and on this day, suddenly a maid came over and said to Li Hanning:

"General Li, Your Majesty ordered us to take you to live in the palace."

Li Hanning only then remembered that now that Xiao Ce has succeeded to the throne and is the second emperor of Luoyang, even if it is for the convenience of him to review the folds and go back and forth with the previous dynasty, he is now planning to live in the palace permanently, and now this prince's mansion is naturally going to be abandoned for a while.

Speaking of which, the days she lived here were not as long as the days she had lived in the temporary residence in Chang'an City, and it seemed that she could rarely live in a mansion for a long time when she was together, and she always changed them like this for various reasons.

She naturally didn't have any feelings for what she was doing here, but she just glanced back at the room, and didn't seem to have anything to bring, so she just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The maid opened her mouth again and asked, "Then General Li has something to bring here?" I told the guards to be careful not to break it. ”

She asked this sentence, and she was really careful in doing things, but Li Hanning really didn't have anything to bring, it seemed that he entered the mansion when he was alone, and there were many important things in the past, such as the jade pendant that Xiao Ce gave him when he was still in Huai'an before, but unfortunately it was lost on the battlefield later, and he couldn't find it again, and now he almost doesn't have to bring anything.

Li Hanning didn't say a word, just shook his head, and said after a while:

"There's nothing to bring, let's go."

Li Hanning left the room one step ahead of the maid.

The carriage moved very slowly because she was pregnant, and Li Hanning also heard the people talking on the street along the way, most of them were praising Xiao Ce, and the closer they got to the palace along the way, the quieter and quieter the voices outside became.

The carriage only stopped at the gate of the palace for a while, they simply checked the token in their hands and let it go, Li Hanning's carriage was explained by their majesty, they naturally did not dare to stop, the carriage stopped all the way to the gate of Changle Palace, and the maid opened the curtain and called:

"General Li, we're here, I'll help you down."
