Ning Yi was a little speechless, his father actually wanted to marry Mei Niang as a concubine?

"Father, Mei Ying is such a key person, why would you want to marry her as a concubine? I've already placed her, and you're going to pick him up?" Ning Yi felt angry as he spoke.

"I'm sorry for Mei Niang, and she is also very miserable. She was supposed to be a young lady of everyone, but later fell into the dust, gave birth to a daughter and fled to Dong'an City. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have had this fate. After your mother's accident, I wanted to take her to the house and pay for my sins back then. ”

“……”

Ning Yi was in a heavy mood, and he didn't know what else to say for a while?

"Zijiu, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to be good. I thought that the emperor would face me, but who knew that in the palace today, the emperor had no intention of protecting me. ”

Thinking of this, Ning Rong couldn't help but feel cold.

When Emperor Jinghe ascended the throne, how many lives and blood were committed by him as an executioner. Over the years, he has been a close minister of heaven, and he has worked hard for the emperor.

Today, the emperor has an ambiguous attitude, but he is afraid that he will be dealt with in the end.

"Don't ask about this matter, let alone be implicated by me. The emperor won't move you, so naturally there is hope. ”

How could Ning Yi bear that something happened to his father, and he couldn't guess the Sacred Heart now.

Does the emperor want to move the Ning family? But the Ning family is now so close to the royal family, wouldn't the emperor want to hurt the hearts of the princess and the prince when he moved the Ning family?

"You go back to the princess's mansion first, don't go back to the Hou Mansion these days, I will close the door to thank the guests, how it should be!" Ning Rong said.

Ning Yi nodded, when he came out of the Hou Mansion, he still decided to enter the palace.

He went to ask to see the emperor, who knew that the emperor would not see him at all.

He thought about it and went to see the queen mother.

The queen is busy with Princess Ruyu's marriage, but she also knows a thing or two about the previous dynasty, and seeing Ning Yi's disgraced expression, she already knows what he thinks.

"Zijiu, this matter is complicated, and it is definitely not something you can control. If you are campaigning for this now, you will only be a target for your ministers. ”

The queen said earnestly: "It's better to be still than to be still." You're going to send your relatives thousands of miles away soon, so let's go back to the princess's mansion and stay with Ananda for two days! ”

When Ning Yi heard this, he immediately understood.

"You must always believe that your father will always remember your father's past merits." The Empress reassured him.

"Yes, the son-in-law knows."

Ning Yi came out of the palace, feeling a little depressed.

Jingping had been waiting for him to come back in the mansion for a long time, and she already knew about the palace finish.

It turned out that after Yuanyou broke up with the Ning family, he came to the princess's mansion to find her and told her about it.

Yuan You is also good at observing words and emotions now, he originally wanted to intercede for Ning Rong, but when he saw his father's expression in the palace, he faintly knew that this case should be cautious, so the palace did not say a word.

But he couldn't let the Ning family have an accident, thinking that Ananda had always been very decisive, so he came to talk to her about it in a hurry.

"Yesterday Xia Tan set up a banquet, I saw Qi Wenyu's eyes flickering, something was wrong, it turned out that he had already prepared for the master and wanted to come to Shenning's house for a copy." Jingping Road.

"Zijiu and I both looked away." Yuanyou Road.

Jingping shook her head, there were many words in her heart, but she still held back.

"Third brother, you have just been established as the crown prince, you must not act rashly, how the three divisions will judge, how the father will deal with it, you don't have to say much." Jingping Road.

"But I can't ignore the Ning family." Now he and the Ning family have long been closely linked.

"That's just as well." Jingping nodded, "In my opinion, Qi Wenyu is just a chess piece that has been used by others. And behind him, there must be someone manipulating. ”

"And this bureau is not a moment."

Yuan You also felt that this matter was not simple, Qi Wenyu's temperament seemed to be upright and upright, probably not with others.

"Third brother, go back, don't stay in the princess's mansion for too long, and don't go to visit your father for this matter. If your father asks you how to deal with this case, you only say that it will be handled according to the law. Jingping said.

Yuanyou also knows that his identity is different now, so he should be more cautious and careful.

Talk to her a few words and leave.

Jingping tried hard to recall the matter of the Ning family, her father had dealt with the Ning family, and she didn't want to ask the Ning family at that time, so she had no impression of this case.

But she knew that her father had never blindly protected the Ning family, and Ning Rong had never been a scholar of the military department like in this life.

In the eyes of his father, all the courtiers are just a pawn for him to stabilize the court, and his majesty can never be violated.

The slaughter of the Mei clan back then may not have been just Ning Rong's decision, but how could a courtier say that the king was not.

When Ning Yi came back, Jingping was in the study, and Dong Xue had already instructed the concierge to report as long as the horse master came back.

When Ning Yi came back, he went directly to see her, only to see her reading, and immediately raised his head when he saw her come in.

"Brother Xiaojiu is back." Jing Ping smiled.

Ning Yi thought to himself, presumably Yan Yan already knew.

"Hmm," Ning Yi sat down beside Jing Ping, his expression a little depressed.

"Have you been to the Hou Mansion before?" Jingping asked.

"Well, I went back to the Hou Mansion and met my father." Ning Yi replied.

"What did your father say?" Jingping asked.

Ning Yi roughly said what his father said, and then sighed, "I really don't understand my father, how could she want to include Mei Niang in the house?" What a trick this is, how could he be so confused about his reputation in his lifetime! ”

Jingping heard this, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but think that maybe Ning Rong really had a sincere attitude towards Mei Ying back then. Otherwise, if he slaughtered the Mei clan, how could he leave a living mouth.

Not to mention that Mei was an important piece of evidence in the case that year, she came to Dong'an City for four years, and he obviously discovered her, and he knew that her existence was a potential threat. actually took care of her in private, how could ordinary people do such a thing.

But Jingping didn't say this directly, this is a bit unbearable.

"Your father probably has some pity for Mei Niang!"

Jing said calmly, "Brother Xiaojiu, don't worry about this case first, what you want to check is how Mei Niang got to Dong'an?" In the past four years, apart from your father, has anyone else been in contact with her? And Qi Wenyu will be so concerned about this case, someone must lead him to investigate this case. ”

"Let him investigate this case, and let him have this condition to go up to heaven!"

"Thinking about it this way, Qi Wenyu's peak can be checked? His appointment was arranged by the prince and the ministry, who suggested to the prince, and which faction this person was. In fact, it is easy to find out who wants the Ning family to do the right thing. ”

Ning Yi came back to his senses, thinking that Yan Yan was more sober and more delicate.

"My third brother has already come today, and I asked him, Qi Wenyu's appointment was suggested by the Ministry of Officials. Prior to that, my eldest brother had served in the Ministry of Officials. ”

"The eldest prince is gone, can he still influence the court?" Not to mention, the emperor announced to the public that the eldest prince had died of illness, and asked Qu if it was really necessary to deal with the Ning family?
