"It's worth it! It's worth it! Uncle......"

It's been three days since I woke up from my heart-wrenching nightmare again.

Chu Shen sat on the edge of the bed, and when he saw Ning Xin crying and waking up, he hurriedly called the maid to come in, wiped her face and handed her water.

He retreated out of the door in a measured manner.

As a person who has experienced the incident almost from beginning to end, Chu Shen's heart is also very deeply touched.

He is a young master who grew up in the family, although the education he received since he was a child is also very complicated, and he matures earlier than others.

But he thought to himself that if he had met these things that Ning Xin was experiencing now when he was eight years old, he would definitely have collapsed.

No child can stand the tragic death of a loved one who lives with him day and night in front of him.

Not to mention the farewell of the fourth uncle.

Chu Shen was afraid that Ning Xin's spirit would not be able to bear it, so he waited at the door, and waited until the maid said that it had been cleaned up, and then he carefully knocked on the door twice: "Can I come in?" ”

There was silence inside for a long time, and it wasn't until Chu Shen was about to leave that he heard Ning Xin's weak voice: "Brother Chu, come in." ”

The door creaked open.

Chu Shen probed in and found Ning Xin sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, looking at herself.

Seeing him come in, a faint smile appeared on his pale little face, and he said softly: "Brother Chu, I want to thank you this time." ”

Chu Shen touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

At that time, after Ning Xin and the others left his house, he was really not at ease, so he followed all the way to see if they needed help.

He is not good at martial arts, but he is good at light skills, and he has been training with his master at home since he was a child.

Except for a few times when he was almost discovered along the way, he has been well hidden.

Only that morning, Lord Feng of Shimen had something to tell him, and he had to deal with it along the way, but he never expected that on that day, Ning Xin and they were ambushed by the palace.

Chu Shen didn't dare to think about what kind of tragic situation these three people had just experienced if he went back late.

But he was too embarrassed to say that he had saved them.

After all, Li Gui is dead, and Fourth Uncle Yu is gone...... He saved people, but he didn't seem to leave anything for Ning Xin.

"Where's my maid Sycamore?" Although Ning Xin's state is not very good, she doesn't seem to be affected by what she says and does.

But the more this happened, the more Chu Shen felt that it was not a taste.

He replied: "She is resting in the side compartment, nothing is wrong, I asked Lang Zhong to come over and show it once, saying that it was just a skin injury, she also woke up in the morning, and wanted to come to see you, I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I didn't call her over." ”

"Hmm." Ning Xin nodded slowly.

The two of them were silent with each other for a while.

"Can you ......?"

"Don't ...... you"

Both spoke at the same time.

Chu Shen was very personable, and stopped and motioned for Ning Xin to speak first.

Ning Xin was not polite, and said bluntly: "Can you prepare a carriage for me, I will take Wutong back to Beijing." ”

……

At the same time, in the palace of King Heng.

Gu Fei looked at the housekeeper in shock, and asked again in disbelief, "You really told my father?!" ”

To this day, he also calls King Huainan his father.

And the Son of Heaven is only called the Holy One.

This can also see that he is estranged from these two fathers.

But too much concern also made Gu Fei feel deeply angry.

Ning Xin, who had obviously let go of her, was known by the King of Huainan under the deliberate informant of the housekeeper.

The old prince himself did not go to the capital, but he had already sent a team of secret guards to the hinterland of the capital and found Ning Xin's traces......

"The prince said that this matter came from him, and it must be from him, Yu Ting and Li Gui must be killed."

The butler said calmly.

Gu Fei was so angry that he could barely speak.

He hurried to the middle of the hall, picked up the sword from the wall with his backhand, and aimed it straight at the butler's neck.

The old housekeeper brought him up since he was a child, and it was really not much different from his father.

But he didn't allow anyone to watch over him.

It's irritating to be in control.

Moreover......

"This king has already said at the time, let their ancestors and grandchildren have a way to live, where are you putting this king's face in doing this?!"

The cold sword body was straight against his neck, but the old butler could still keep his face unchanged, and said slowly: "The prince asked me to remind you, you should not be trapped by these personal feelings, that girl is certainly likable, but it must not be an obstacle to your ascension to the throne." ”

"But...... But ......"

Gu Fei has always thought that he is a decisive person.

But today, he himself discovered that every step of his life was pushed forward step by step by King Huainan behind him.

He was never nothing.

He's just a puppet being pushed in front of people.

The old butler in front of him, whom he thought was very loving, was just a sharp weapon to spy on him.

He really wanted to kill him, but the sword couldn't use his strength.

It's still not ruthless enough.

Gu Fei squeezed out a sneer from his chest, and the sword fell to the ground with a click.

The butler calmly lowered his head, picked up the sword, and hung it back on the wall.

Seeing that Gu Fei didn't move for a long time, he was even able to distract himself and stepped forward to comfort: "Young master, when the big tree grows, those unnecessary branches have to be pruned little by little, and the prince knows that you like that girl, so he didn't ask them to touch her." ”

The corners of Gu Fei's mouth trembled slightly.

But he didn't say anything.

He knows very well the ability of the team of people that his father filmed.

As long as they do their best, there is probably no one in this world who can come out alive.

As for Ning Xin.

She's certainly the best alive.

But Gu Fei also knew that if she was the only one who survived, and the two old men died.

Then her hatred for herself is probably even more profound.

How could she allow those two old men to die in front of her eyes.

Gu Fei couldn't bear to imagine Ning Xin's desperate mood when she faced all this.

He once seriously wanted to take care of this little girl as his own sister and watch her grow up.

But I didn't expect that the person who gave this "sister" the heaviest blow was himself.

The housekeeper exited the door, and Gu Fei didn't want to say a word.

……

Knowing Ning Xin's news again, it was already half a month later.

The time for the temple examination has been set.

As the top member of the examination, Ning Chengwen naturally attracted the attention of countless dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital.

Even in the gambling houses in the capital, a handicap has been opened, betting that Ning Chengwen can be on the gold list and become the first champion of the gold branch of the dynasty.

The old emperor has been weak in recent years, and there are only a few close favorite concubines left by his side.

A Yun concubine Niangniang, a Yue concubine.

None of the others dared to take the lead.

Concubine Yun had some private transactions with Ning Xin, and Ning Xin also gave her a prescription that could get pregnant.

She eats day and night, and before that, she dragged the old emperor back to the palace for a spring night every day.

It's hard not to think about whether the old emperor's recent worsening health has anything to do with her.

However, these efforts were not in vain.

On the day when the date of the palace examination was confirmed, the news of Concubine Yun's happiness began to spread throughout the palace like wings.

Concubine Yun is happy??

Concubine Yun is happy!!

There have been no heirs in the palace for many years, and now the emperor is lying on the sickbed, and the favorite concubine just happened to be pregnant, isn't this just a happy thing?

The old queen mother was so happy that she asked someone to reward Concubine Yun's room with countless treasured jewels.

The old emperor was also very happy, and from this day on, his body was getting better and better day by day.

This is a good thing, Concubine Yun and the children in her womb who don't know the boys and girls have become the most noble treasures in the palace.

Concubine Yun is also allowed to come to the emperor every day to say goodbye.

On this day, she just came over, and was informed by the eunuch to go in, but found that Concubine Yue was also talking to the emperor here.

The emperor has been in good shape recently, and it seems that he will be able to attend the palace examination that will be held in the near future.

There is a difference in rank between concubines and concubines.

Concubine Yun obediently saluted Concubine Yue when she entered the door, and Concubine Yue nodded lazily in response, and asked some things about pregnancy and childbirth.

The old emperor couldn't see that he was being disciplined, so he hurriedly asked Concubine Yun to sit beside him.

The three of them sat together, and Concubine Yue suddenly caused a topic: "Your Majesty, do you know that now it is rumored that you must give the champion to Ning Chengwen from Huainan?" If you want me to say that these people are really tired of being crooked, they dare to talk nonsense about these things in the court. ”

In Huainan before, Sun Xiuying, who once wanted to kidnap Ning Xin and send Ning Chengwen to prison, was the person who was the concubine Yue.

Later, the whereabouts of the old eunuch were unknown, and the rest of the people who helped with the errand were all arrested.

Although in the end, it is true that it was not implicated in himself.

But even if Concubine Yue is a fool, she should know that the two fathers and daughters of the Ning family, one big and one young, are really not easy to mess with.

Therefore, even though she liked Ning Xin's eight characters very much, she still endured this idea, thinking about waiting until Ning Chengwen entered Beijing.

Who would have thought that this white-faced scholar was quite powerful.

Won the first place all the way and took all the first places.

Seeing that he is going to take the first place in the palace examination now, he will be the champion.

Concubine Yue was naturally unhappy, so she opened her mouth to stop it.

The emperor frowned slightly, thinking of Ning Xin, the little girl who always came to tell stories to him before.

The doll said that there was something going on in her hometown, and she had to go back to her hometown for the time being, so she couldn't come and tell him a story.

The emperor has been sad for a long time.

Later, he also found a lot of storytellers to try in the palace, but whether it was a man or a woman or an old or young, there was no way to compare with Ning Xin.

Hearing Concubine Yue talk about it today, he remembered that when Scarlet sent this girl before, she also said that her father was this year's candidate.

But is this Ning Huiyuan?

This is reasonable, it's no wonder that the family can raise such a smart child, it turns out that the father is also a powerful person.

This Emperor Ning Huiyuan had actually paid attention to it early on.

It's almost a sure thing to call him the champion.

As long as he doesn't write too outrageous in the final temple test as a Chinese chapter, almost this six yuan and the first can be determined.

But now that he heard Concubine Yue say this, the emperor was inevitably a little unhappy.

If the champion has already been guessed by the people, then wouldn't he, the emperor, be fooled too faceless??!
