After the miscellaneous matters were dealt with, Ning Xun solemnly began to prepare for the closure of the post.

He originally wanted to take Song Langying back to Beijing and reunite with the same rank, but the imperial doctor sent to Jingzhou said that Song Rongying's body was easier to raise in the south, and it was not appropriate to go back and forth.

Fortunately, Song Rongying has been writing to the same title, and she has never missed a single link - she has no opinion on the new identity of the title, and after seeing Ning Xun once before coming to Jingzhou, she can also rest assured that she will entrust her to him, as for whether she can see the title of the post-seal ceremony with her own eyes, it is no longer a pity.

The current identity of the title pool is the daughter of the Jingzhou prefect whom the prince personally asked to marry at the banquet in the past, and she is also the righteous daughter of the general Song Xuan. Under such a dual identity, the courtiers naturally have no opinions-those who have opinions have also rested their minds under the iron wrist of Ning Xun to clean the court.

The name is still set "Song Rank Pool" - Ning Xun asked her if she wanted to replace the word "Chi".

Zhichi only shook her head, she had called this name for two lifetimes, and she didn't think that the word "Chi" had anything to do with the Chi family.

It's just that when Ning Xun asked like this, she remembered for no reason that when Ning Xun tried her, she deliberately wrote her name as "Zhichi", and taught her over and over again.

She was a little amused for a while, wrote down the word "late", looked up and asked him: "It's late, it's too late, Ah Xun is here, think I'm too late?" ”

Ning Xun grabbed her hand holding the pen behind herself, and sighed with a smile: "It's me, it's me who came too late." ”

Life is only a hundred years, if you can meet her earlier, you can stay together for a few more years.

In recent days, he has been busy, and he has not been close for a long time, and when he came over like this, he was too close, and the familiar temperature infection rose, and his legs were a little weak unconsciously, and he slipped in his arms, and he held the book case with one hand.

Ning Xun kissed down, first the center of her eyebrows, then the tail of her eyes, tossed and held her lips, and then moved to her earlobe, and her just clean hand had already poked into it from below.

He shuddered violently and raised his hand to hook his neck. He kissed her behind the ear, and his voice was hoarse and smiling: "Breath." ”

The cicada clothes accompanying the side immediately retreated, and as soon as the front foot closed the palace door, the back foot saw Huaihe and Feng hurrying over with the phoenix robe that had been changed again - Li Dexian was given a lot of money and a mansion, and he had already left the palace to retire. Just waiting for Ning Xun to ascend the throne, Huaihe will be the new head of the imperial palace.

The two of them glanced at each other, and each instructed the palace people to stay away from the temple gate, so as not to hear something they shouldn't hear for a while.

The next day, he received a letter unexpectedly.

It was Shen Che who was the last person left in the palace, and after sending this letter to her, he decided to punish himself.

Shen Che was in the prison and wanted to see her, saying that he had found out the cause of the death of the former queen.

It was about the first queen, and the title pool was afraid that she would miss it, so she left a letter for Ning Xun, and took someone to the prison.

A felony like Shen Che is kept in solitary confinement. When the pond passed, he was sitting in a corner with his eyes closed, still dignified.

He changed into a clean prison robe, because he couldn't tell if he had been tortured or how much.

The rank pool stopped outside, and did not want to go in, so he spoke directly: "Why did the first queen die?" ”

Shen Che opened his eyes, his gaze was as gentle as ever: "In the past, the title pool has always called me Ah Che, and later, no matter how bad it is, it will call the son of the world." Now you don't even want to give a title? ”

Zhichi frowned, "You called me here, if it's just to miss the past, I won't accompany you." ”

"Okay, I said. But before that, I have a question. There is only one. ”

The chime should come down, "Okay." ”

But he was silent for a while before he spoke softly: "If I hadn't used you back then, and I hadn't forced you to do what you didn't want, would you love me as you loved him?" ”

He didn't think about it, his voice was very soft, but he was sure: "You won't." ”

Shen Che laughed and responded happily: "Yes." ”

She looked up, "Neither will I." I love him, not because of how he treats me, at least not entirely. ”

After saying that, she shook her head, "That's it, you won't understand." ”

Shen Che closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression was already the same: "You call him, I'll tell him." ”

When he had said this, he said no more.

The title pool couldn't, so he could only go back to the palace first and ask someone to send a letter to Ning Xun, who was still delayed outside.

When Ning Xun saw Shen Che, it was almost dusk.

He got straight to the point and asked directly: "The cause of death." ”

Shen Che deserved it crisply: "Medicine pillow." ”

Then he looked at him with great interest, and suddenly said, "She has been here today." ”

"Lone knows."

The cells were dimly lit and often lit. Ning Xun stood outside the cell, half of his face hidden in the dark, so that people could not see his emotions.

"She said she couldn't bear to let me die."

Ning Xun chuckled, "Shen Che, is it interesting to lie to yourself like this?" ”

"What will happen to her, Lone knows all too well."

Shen Che laughed suddenly, his laughter was hearty, and at the end, he said meaningfully: "It's best." ”

As soon as his words fell, Ning Xun felt that something was wrong, and the next moment he saw blood gushing out from the corner of his lips, and he fell on his back - the guards immediately opened the cell door and went in to check, while the back was blue and knelt down to plead guilty.

In an instant, he was already exhausted.

It was he who took the poison himself.

Ning Xun stood in place for an hour of incense, and commanded in a dumb voice: "Hold this matter down for the time being." ”

Huai He, who followed all the way, felt a pang in his heart, now that the overall situation has been decided, it has no impact on whether Shen Shizi is alive or not, and His Royal Highness still wants to suppress this matter, so it can only be...... Hide it from Miss Song.

The timing of Shen Shizi's death is too coincidental, Your Highness ...... I'm afraid that Miss Song will have a dislike with him because of this, just like the first emperor and the first queen back then.

After returning to the palace, Ning Xun went straight to Concubine Wen. Shen Che only said the word medicine pillow, but it was enough. He asked the imperial physician to see the medicine pillow that the emperor had used when he was still alive - exactly the same as the one used by his mother.

There is naturally nothing wrong with the medicine pillow itself, otherwise it would not have been unnoticed. The imperial doctors were at a loss for what to do with the medicine pillow, and they didn't understand why the prince was sure that there was something wrong with it.

It wasn't until a newly appointed little imperial doctor dared to smell it carefully that he discovered the mystery - the medicine pillow used some good medicines to replenish qi and invigorate blood, but the available amount and ratio were very tricky, if it weren't for his old father at home who specialized in this technique, even he wouldn't have noticed.

The medicine pillow has been used for a long time, but it is nothing on weekdays, and it is even very beneficial, but once it suddenly encounters something that breaks the heart and liver, it is urgent to attack the heart, and the body is already weak under the great mourning, and the heart fire that has been saved over the years is enough to kill people.

For example, the queen who suddenly heard the bad news of General Qi, such as the emperor who suddenly heard the news of the death of the crown prince.

When Ning Xun brought people over, Concubine Wen guessed that it was the East Window incident. After Ning Mian died, she had no hope, and she counted the days day by day, so she didn't panic.

In recent days, she has been a little lazy, and she doesn't want to confess anymore to explain how she "inadvertently" revealed the news that General Qi was summoned to death to the queen back then, and why she did everything possible to put the queen to death.

There is no specific reason for this.

Concubine Xian was born in the Zhenguo Mansion, such a background, her position and honor are not comparable to her, but why is it that she is not much different from the queen's background, but after entering the palace, it is a world of difference?

She couldn't swallow it.

What's more, if the saint didn't hide it from the queen back then, and was willing to explain the matter to her step by step, what was the use of the medicine pillow alone?

But she didn't bother to say any of that. Concubine Wen looked at Ning Xun, who was walking quickly, turned her head, and ran so fast for the first time - and then hit her head on the pillar in front of Ning Xun's eyes.

Only left him a sentence: "It's your turn to be this loner." ”

Within two days, the Queen Mother died.

The queen mother was also affected by the medicine pillow, and her body bones were not good, and she completely collapsed since the death of the first emperor.

After Xining learned on the wedding night that he was just an ornament that Shen Che could erase at any time, and he couldn't even call a chess piece, he died of his heart on Shen Che and followed the queen mother's side.

Now that the Queen Mother is gone, the second prince is long gone, Xining knows that he has lost his support, and he also went with the Queen Mother.

Ning Xun's mood has been low for the past few days, and he saw it in his eyes, but he didn't know why.

Maybe there are too many people who have died during this time?

But between these people and them was a life-and-death situation, she thought that Ning Xun would not be disturbed by these.

It wasn't until Huaihe came secretly that she understood.

That night, Ning Xun stayed in the study again, and took a final closer look at the relevant matters of the post-sealing ceremony.

Huaihe grinded the ink for him, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

Ning Xun glanced at him, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Your Highness, the news of Shen Shizi's death, why don't you tell the girl......"

Ning Xun put down the pen in his hand, only looked at him, and didn't say a word.

As soon as his arms and legs weakened, he immediately knelt down, and before he could ask for sin, he heard a sound of light footsteps.

Jack Chi walked in with the food box, glanced at Huaihe, and motioned for him to go first. Huaihe hurriedly retreated.

Seeing the cattiness between the two, Ning Xun's heart sank, and his hands clenched unconsciously: "You already know?" ”

Zhichi glared at him, "I said that I would not deceive or conceal it, and punish me so harshly, but now you yourself have broken your promise." ”

She opened the food box, took out the soft stewed mung bean lotus seed pigeon soup inside, and placed it in front of him, "Go to the fire." ”

Ning Xun didn't move for a while, only raised his eyes to look at her, and rarely hesitated: "You ......"

"I'm angry." Ji Chi held his clenched hand, Ning Xun subconsciously let go of her hand, and she squeezed between his fingers without much effort and clasped it tightly.

"What's the good thing to punish you......" She suddenly approached, bit his lower lip hard, and pulled back a little distance: "Punish you to stay with me forever, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

Ning Xun laughed lightly, his eyes were still calm: "What kind of punishment is this, it is clearly a reward." ”

He took his hand around him and said softly: "You are not your father, and I am not the queen's mother." Ah Xun, we won't. ”

"We're not going to fall apart, and you're not alone. I will always be with you, from birth to death, in this life, in the next, until eternity. ”

He hugged her hand tightly, as if to embed her in the blood.

She liked how hard he hugged her, leaving no gaps, fitting and sincere.

He played with his hair for a while, and after a while, I heard him exhale softly, and as if relieved, he responded: "Okay." “

In the autumn of the twenty-fifth year of Zhenghe, the crown prince Ning Xun ascended the throne and changed the year name to Jingyuan.

Under the instruction of the new emperor, the enthronement ceremony and the post-sealing ceremony were combined into one.

Ning Xun took the hand of the title pool, wore a gold-patterned crown dress with a black bottom, and a phoenix robe and phoenix crown, and climbed the altar side by side, telling the ancestors and ancestors, and worshipping heaven and earth.

Descending the mountain to call for long live the saint and the queen to live a thousand years, the chichi subconsciously turned his head and met his gaze. Just like countless times in the past.

Ning Xun clenched her hand and laughed.

The mountains and rivers are vast, and they are fleeting in a hundred years.

The author has something to say:

At this point, the text has come to an end~ Thanks to the little angels, they never give up, and accompany Chi and Ning Xun here.

Between the two of them, it is destined to be fateful or calamity, each link is a link in cause and effect, but as long as two people unswervingly walk towards each other, even if they are burdened, there will be a moment when the old cause and effect will be broken.
