It's a nightmare again! Ning Xueyan lifted the quilt with a wry smile, stood up, walked to the table, picked up a cup of herbal tea, and drank it directly, but her body was too weak, because the water was cold, and she poured it too hard, clutching her jumpy chest, Coughing lowly, although he has been exercising for the past few days, the effect is still very small.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the faint morning light outside the window, frowning slightly, lost in thought!
She has been in Hanshan Temple for half a month. A few days ago, Nanny Han sent a letter saying that uncle is going to Beijing soon, and today should be the scheduled arrival day in the capital. Ning Xueyan has never met this uncle, but she has heard from Nanny Han that she will definitely make decisions for herself.
So, she wants to meet this uncle by herself today to see if this uncle is really what Nanny Han said, what's more, if she doesn't meet now, she will go to the Huguohou Mansion to ask herself It took too much time for the letter to come and go, and she needed to see this uncle first to talk about some things.
I have to meet my uncle before Ling's to get the words right.
Seeing that it was still early, he lay back on the bed again, but couldn't fall asleep. In his mind, he inexplicably remembered the scene before his death, blood, suffocation, struggle, pain... even if he closed his eyes motionlessly, he could still feel the pain. To the fear and despair of death.
He clenched the quilt under his body tightly with his hands, exhaled long, and relaxed himself, but he felt that even the breath he exhaled had a strong smell of blood! Sitting up abruptly again, resisting the tumbling in his chest, trying to think of other things to distract himself, inexplicably remembering that his dowry was first sent to the Shangshu Mansion in his mind.
Suddenly, something seemed wrong!
Looking back on my past life, my father died in office, and my mother followed after being lingering on the sickbed for three years. Before she died, she agreed to let herself join the patriarch Ning Zu'an. The butler arrived in the capital and lived in the Huguohou's Mansion. Later, Xia Shangshu came to visit, and Mrs. Xia and Xia Yuhang came to comfort him.
The Xia and Ning governments have long decided to formally get married when they are sixteen years old.
Although my marriage with Xia Yuhang was arranged since I was a child, I have never met Xia Yuhang. In the past, when my father was in office, Xia Yuhang would come to give gifts to his father every year. It never stopped, and the Xia family did not have any regrets. It meant that Xia Yuhang brought Mrs. Xia to see her even after arriving in the capital.
At that time, no matter how you looked at it, Xia Yuhang had a deep affection for her, and he couldn't hide his joyful smile no matter what.
When did Xia Yuhang start to change
Doubts rolled in my mind, it seems to be about a year, or two years, or even when I arrived in the capital... But Ning Xueyan can't remember what she did, she just feels like an old butler Another batch of things was sent from the old house. Xia Yuhang and Ning Ziyan were both there at the time, and then they left hastily.
She has also inquired in the past few days, and the rumors of Xia Yuhang and Ning Ziyan's engagement since childhood also started to spread from that time!
If at that time Ling and Ning Ziyan were about to take away their marriage, why did they keep themselves until the night before their marriage? Is there any difference
Is it really to get your dowry? But if he died early and lived in the Huguohou Mansion without any immediate relatives, most of the property in it would belong to the Huguohou Mansion, so why procrastinate the matter for so long? Hidden secrets? Faintly feel that there is something weird in it.
I don't know if I thought too much, but I forgot the fear of death, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
When Lan Ning came over to wake her up, Qingyu had already prepared breakfast, because she was going out, Ning Xueyan didn't go up the mountain today, and took the clothes that Lan Ning had prepared for her, not too big or too small, but It was just right, Qing Yu and Lan Ning were rushing to work after measuring her height in the past two days.
"Girl, can you go out alone?" Lan Ning is a prudent person, and she is really worried that Ning Xueyan will go out alone. I heard that the girl has never even gone out to Mingshuangyuan before.
"It doesn't matter, I know the way." Ning Xueyan straightened her clothes and said, "If anyone comes from the mansion, they will say that I am sick and cannot get up for a while."
Since the last time, she defended Ning Ziyan in front of everyone. Although she couldn't completely get rid of Ling's suspicion, at least she showed her sisterhood in front of people, so that Ling wouldn't be so anxious to deal with her. She has a buffer time, and this time is very important to her.
Mrs. Tai sent people to ask her from time to time, as a way to show her importance. Since that time, Ning Xueyan is no longer the unknown fifth girl in the Huguohou Mansion, and what's more, she still protects the entire Huguo. Mrs. Tai has to show how respectable the Hou Mansion is.
"Yes, I'll save it for you servant, that girl should be careful!" Lan Ning nodded.
After arranging everything, Ning Xueyan didn't bother with them, and went out of the house directly. The Hanshan Temple is outside the city, not far from the Shili Pavilion outside the city. Those who come from that direction must pass through the Shili Pavilion to get there. Waiting will inevitably wait for uncle.
She has been exercising and climbing the mountain every day for a while, and her legs, feet and complexion are much better than when she came here. Although there is still a long way to go down from Hanshan Temple, it is not difficult for her.
Hastily came out from the pilgrim's courtyard, turned around a few halls, and saw the gate of Hanshan Temple, saw the guard team at the gate, Ning Xueyan frowned slightly, such a big formation, so many carriages, right at the gate A large carriage was blocking the door, and the presiding abbot of Hanshan Temple was also waiting at the door. This meant that a big man was coming!
At this time, who would come to Hanshan Temple with such great fanfare!
The men and horses of the big men came over, and they walked neatly. The monks who came out were all bald. When they went out at this time, they were conspicuous no matter how they looked. Eyes, after thinking about it, Shui Mou looked at the side door, there were not many people there, and the monks all went to the main door to greet them, but the door on this side was slightly closed, but they could still go out.
And it's not noticeable.
Take a few quick steps and go to the side door on the northwest side. She is small and far away from the mountain gate. It should be impossible to see her!
Sure enough, the side door was slightly closed, and no one paid attention to her figure.
However, a young monk following behind the host spotted him, winked at her and made a gesture. Ning Xueyan didn't understand it for a moment. Looking from her position, she couldn't see the outside situation, so she thought the little monk asked Why did she want to go out, so she raised her hand, pointed to the side door, and pointed to herself, implying that she wanted to go out.
The little monk over there was a little anxious, and stretched out his hand to signal, but Ning Xueyan didn't understand.
Simply ignore it, she is in a hurry!
She stretched out her hand to push open the half-hidden door, and then opened it. Suddenly, she yelled angrily, and before she could react, a cold light flashed in front of her eyes: "Who is it, grab it!"
Looking at the sharp stabbing blade in front of her, and looking back at the little monk drooping his head, depressed and flustered, Ning Xueyan suddenly understood now that the little monk told her that there was someone there, but she looked at it from her angle. No, he misunderstood the meaning of the little monk and was arrested.
In the covered direction, a group of majestic guards in armor were standing, half guarding the large, almost shapeless carriage.
And she happened to rush out from this position.
"Who dares to run in front of King Yi and kneel down quickly!"
Yi Wang? Ning Xueyan really changed color this time! There was a trace of shock in the bright water eyes. People in Chu country may not know the emperor, but they must know Yi Wang Ao Chenyi. If nothing else, he will inherit his brother's throne.
It's the late emperor's will to fight brothers and sisters!
I once heard that this master went to the battlefield with the former emperor at a young age, and was famous for his bravery, but he had crawled out of the sea of blood and corpses so early, and he was cold and violent with contempt for human life!
Everyone in the capital knows that King Yi is extremely ruthless and ruthless. He once slaughtered ten ministers in one night, and no one in his family survived. Not only took charge of the Ministry of War, but also the Ministry of Punishment, and even the spy organization, Jinyiwei.
As long as he is secretly reported by Jin Yiwei and enters the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what is reasonable will become unreasonable, and what confession he wants is not a matter of a word.
Therefore, although some ministers secretly wanted to support the emperor's son as the crown prince, they did not dare to reveal half of it.
This man is really in control of the government, under one person, above ten thousand people, not to mention that he is the future emperor on the surface, and his actions are bloody, who dares to die and fight against him.
Ning Xueyan selfishly felt that such a master should not come to Hanshan Temple, and the benevolent Buddha Lord of the temple must have been dazzled by his full of blood!
Running into such a master, Ning Xueyan didn't panic, she didn't expect to come out in such a hurry today, she actually bumped into such a thing, her eyes glanced at the curtain outside the black-colored carriage with gold trim, and she immediately knelt down After getting down, he bowed his head and explained: "The younger one is going to handle errands outside the temple for our master, please be more accommodating."
She was born small, but the boy's hat on her head was relatively big. When she lowered her head like this, more than half of her head was pressed down, and her entire face was almost hidden under the brim of the hat. The guards found that there was something wrong with this person.
"Hide and hide, take off the hat." A sharp blade came over and stabbed her hat directly, the bright sharp blade made Ning Xueyan tremble in fright, but she still stretched out her hand to hold down the brim of her hat, explaining in a low voice Said: "My lord, it's not the little one, it really wasn't intentional, if you don't believe me, the little one will go back, and the young one will go out after His Royal Highness passes by."
She didn't dare to let go, as soon as the hat was removed, her daughter's body was exposed.
