Outside the screen.

Hongji and Zhu Houzhao sat on the same couch.

"My father came to look for his son today, is it for the matter of Shouning Hou?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't pretend to be stupid, and asked directly.

"The emperor is sincere and took the initiative to recruit."

Hongji smiled slightly, and then said: "You have only a few skills in the morning, and a clear-eyed person can know it at a glance." I won't admit it?

Tell me, why? ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that his father's gaze was coming, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"The child happened to hear that the Marquis of Shouning had done evil things, and thought that he could not let him insult my royal prestige, so he asked people to collect some evidence and present it to his father."

Hongji nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this is a bit of a prince." ”

Zhu Houzhao heard that he was praised instead, and when he was about to speak again, a movement suddenly came from behind the screen.

"Who, come out!"

Hongji frowned and drank.

Behind the screen, Jiang Ning and the two princesses stared at each other and were at a loss.

It turned out that just now, because the screen was too narrow, only three people could barely stand down, and Yun'an had to get as close to Jiangning as possible.

But Xu was too close, and she was very shy in her heart, so she thought about moving to the side.

I didn't want to move lightly with the lotus foot, so the steps on my head shook and made a sound.

This was noticed by Hongji.

Originally, Jiang Ning was unmoved.

After all, if the emperor knew that he was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping on his speech, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

But when he saw the panicked look on the faces of the two princesses, one big and one young, Jiang Ning's heart softened, and he took the initiative to raise his feet and walk out.

It seems that they are really afraid of Hongji, the emperor's father, for fear of being reprimanded.

Princess Yun'an saw Jiang Ning's actions, a different look flashed in her eyes, and she looked at his back in a daze.

"Weichen Jiang Ning has seen Your Majesty."

Jiang Ning walked up to Hongzhi and saluted.

"Why are you behind the screen?"

"The minister was just giving a lecture to the prince, and His Majesty suddenly arrived, and the minister was panicked and hid behind the screen in a panic.

I also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. ”

Hongji said coldly: "Why are you afraid? Since it is a lecture, how do you avoid it when you greet the prince together? ”

"This ......"

Jiang Ning was speechless, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Hongzhi smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will govern you, instigate the prince to leave the palace, linger in the land of fireworks, and collect evidence to impeach the uncle of the country?" ”

"The minister is guilty!"

Jiang Ning's back suddenly got wet.

For the first time, he felt the true majesty of this Hongji Emperor.

Imperial gas is not covered.

The most important thing is that he knows everything and everything is in his hands.

"You are guilty!"

Hongzhi got up suddenly, looked directly at Jiang Ning with sharp eyes, and shouted:

"In vain, I value you so much, let you make a name for yourself as a mere talent, and ascend to the sky in one step and enter the East Palace Prince Sasuke.

That's how you repaid me?! ”

"Your Majesty forgives you."

"Hmph."

Hongji snorted coldly and shouted outside, "Bring in." ”

The palace door opened instantly, and I saw Miao Kui with more than a dozen eunuchs and bring the eight tigers in.

Looking at the blue nose and swollen face, it was obvious that he had been beaten.

"A bunch of bastards! I handed over the prince to your care, and not only did you not know how to lead the prince to learn, but also took him out of the palace without permission, causing the prince to be beaten.

Damn it! ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

The Eight Tigers were terrified when they heard this, and they kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Hongzhi coldly glanced at the people present, including Jiang Ning, and shouted, "Miao Kui! ”

"The old slave is here."

"Take these men out and beat them with forty rods!"

Jiang Ning suddenly became apprehensive.

Forty court staffs?

Can he hold on to his bones?

In a cry of begging for mercy, Jiang Ning was escorted out together.

After the palace door was closed again, Zhu Houzhao pleaded:

"Father, I approve of leaving the palace, otherwise how can they take me away.

Please also ask my father to open up and spare them.

They have been with me for many years, and Jiang Shiyu is also a clever talent, if he loses his life, where will Erchen find such a satisfactory person. ”

Hongji looked at his only son and smiled kindly:

"You have this heart, and I am very relieved.

But as a monarch, you don't just have a benevolent heart.

Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others, they only know how to lead you to have fun every day, and they should be punished with a big punishment.

And Jiang Ning, hehe, he has the ability, and he is also very kind in his political opinions. In time, he will be the pillar of the imperial court.

But now it's still far away, young, high-spirited, and somewhat reckless.

Therefore, it is necessary to sharpen his character.

Emperor, I said that, do you understand? ”

Zhu Houzhao listened carefully to Hongzhi's words and thought thoughtfully.

The other side.

Jiang Ning was escorted outside the Donghua Gate with a pale face, and saw that more than a dozen executioned little eunuchs had already stood up and were waiting for them to come.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar face.

"Shi Qianhu, why are you here?"

"Master Jiang."

Shi Wenyi said with a bitter face:

"I was staying well in the yamen, but suddenly I was brought into the palace.

Originally, I didn't know it clearly, but now that I'm here, I want to understand, I'm afraid it didn't happen. ”

Jiang Ning nodded with a wry smile.

At this time, he noticed a gaze staring at his body, and subconsciously looked at it, and happened to meet Miao Kui's gaze.

Seeing his appearance, Miao Kui nodded kindly, then turned his head and shouted, "Execution!" ”

Jiang Ning didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly straightened up and became nervous.

But soon, he was pleasantly surprised.

Because the board that was knocked down seemed to be very heavy, but in fact, it didn't feel very light.

Only then did Jiang Ning understand what Miao Kui meant just now.

At the same time, he also realizes that Hongji doesn't really intend to move him.

Otherwise, Miao Kui would never have this attitude.

Thinking about this, Jiang Ning breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, he heard the terrible wail next to him, reacted quickly, and also shouted loudly.

Soon, the forty boards were finished.

The two executioning little eunuchs lifted Jiang Ning up and slammed him to the ground.

Hiss!

Jiang Ning's complexion changed suddenly.

It hurts!

He struggled to get up from the ground, and suddenly a figure approached, grabbed his arm, and helped him up.

It's Gonggong Li who I've seen before.

"Jiang Shiyu, this is what Father-in-law Miao ordered the villain to give you, and it has a miraculous effect on the wound."

While helping Gonggong Li, he quietly stuffed a bottle of gold sore medicine into Jiang Ning's arms.

"Thank you for me."

Jiang Ning squeezed out a smile and said.

Gonggong Li nodded and left quickly.

"Master Jiang, I asked people to prepare a carriage outside the palace, why don't I send you back."

Shi Wenyi leaned over and grinned.

"So, thank you Shi Qianhu."

Jiang Ning knew that this was deliberately to slap himself up, and of course he would not be stupid enough to refuse.

"Your Excellency, please."

Shi Wenyi hugged him, and the two limped outside the Forbidden City.

"Come, my lord go up first."

Walking to a carriage, Shi Wenyi carefully helped Jiang Ning into the car.

Jiang Ning leaned on the comfortable cushion, and his brows gradually stretched.

"Lord Shi has a heart."

"Hehe, it's good if the adults are satisfied."

Shi Wenyi showed a flattering look:

"My subordinates know a good place to go, and once I get there, I don't care about any injuries.

Do you want to go down with your subordinates to see? ”

Jiang Ning listened, waved his hand and said, "No need, just send me home." ”

Without thinking about it, he knew that this place was probably not very serious.

He still went home and hugged Yun'er's soft body.

That's when all the worries are gone.

Seeing this, Shi Wenyi didn't say more, but just changed the topic and chatted with Jiang Ning.

Under his intentional or unintentional stammering, the relationship between the two became more and more familiar.

Unconsciously, I came to the door of Jiang Ning's house.

"Thank you, Lord Shi."

Helped out of the carriage by two Jinyi guards who were driving, Jiang Ning walked into the house.

"Yun'er, I'm back."

He shouted into the hall.

But Li Yuner didn't respond.

shouted a few times in succession, and it was still the same.

Jiang Ning was confused, and immediately guessed that Li Yun'er might be busy in the kitchen, and immediately walked towards the kitchen.

As he walked, he corrected his posture and tried to be as usual.

"Yun'er!"

Jiang Ning just walked into the kitchen, but he saw a scene that made his soul fly out of the sky.
