Cut Frost

Chapter 47
"After the imperial decree was issued, Xiliang City was captured by Ming Dan, grandfather died in the frontier, and there were dozens of others involved." Concubine Cheng said.

"How could this be?" Ning Jia said in surprise, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs, not to mention that when the enemy is in front of him, how could Grandpa Huang make such a decree?"

"We women and Daoists have limited knowledge of what happened in the previous dynasty." Concubine Cheng sat beside Ning Jia, thoughtfully, but didn't say much.

"Then Concubine Ye, she..." Ning Jia said again.

"Concubine Ye's father was the General Huaihua at that time. When she was born, her mother died. Her father never remarried, and he only lived with her father and daughter. They had a deep love. The battle more than 20 years ago was also affected. Being implicated, he died in a foreign land." Chengfei said, "Concubine Ye has always resented your grandfather's disadvantage in leading the army, which caused her father to die in vain and died in a foreign country, so, that's why I did that to you."

"It turns out that it is." Ning Jia said.

"Now that you've grown up, you should know these things." Concubine Cheng took her over and said softly, "Ning Yang was influenced by her mother since she was a child, so let her be."

Ning Jia didn't answer, hesitated for a while, looked at Concubine Cheng and said, "Mother, don't you hate Grandpa Huang?"

Concubine Cheng did not answer.

"Mother, Grandpa Emperor, is he..."

"No." Concubine Cheng said, her voice not loud and slightly trembling.

"Ning Jia," Concubine Cheng straightened Ning Jia's shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Everything your grandfather has done is for the sake of Huanyue Kingdom and the people of Huanyue Kingdom, do you understand?"

Ning Jia also looked at her, not understanding why she was suddenly so serious, but it seemed that she did ask something she shouldn't ask.

"I, understand..." Ning Jia whispered.

"That's good..." Concubine Cheng's face softened again, and she said to Ning Jia.

"I understand my mother's feelings towards Concubine Ye, but," Ning Jia was about to say more, "Since I was a child, I always let my second sister and my mother embarrass me, so this time, can I... "

"Ning Jia," Concubine Cheng said solemnly again, "The marriage of the princess is an important matter for the country. Your father and emperor have his own decision. You can't be so willful."

Ning Jia lowered her head slightly and said, "Yes..."

After Concubine Cheng left, Ning Jia sat at the piano table and plucked the strings lightly.

However, the sound of the piano was disordered, and she could barely hear the song "Linyuan San" she was playing.

"You can't play this tune now." Yu'er paced out from the bottom of the couch, jumped on the couch and lay down, lazily speaking to Ning Jia.

Ning Jia pointed his finger down but did not stop, instead he hurriedly played, but not a single sound was accurate.

"What's the use of competing with this qin here, just think of a solution quickly." Yu'er yawned and curled her head in the circle formed by her four legs and her snow-white tail.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and big tears slipped out of Ning Jia's eyes. She fell on the piano and cried loudly.

"Three princesses!" Fang Qi and Fang Rong hurriedly came in to see.

"Three princesses, what's wrong?" Fang Qi said, "What did Concubine Cheng say? Why are you crying like this?"

"That's right," Fangrong said anxiously, "what the hell is going on here?"

Ning Jia didn't answer, just kept crying.

"Fang Rong, go get a pot of hot water." Fang Qi said to Fang Rong.

"Okay." Fang Rong responded and went out to fetch water.

"Three princesses," Fang Qi said softly to Ning Jia, "don't cry, there will always be a way."

"How? Is there any other way?" Ning Jia cried.

"What did Concubine Cheng say?" Fang Qi asked.

"Mother, she asked me to marry the third son of Prime Minister Xiao's family." Ning Jia said this and burst into tears again.

"Ah?" Fang Qi was also taken aback when she heard this, "How could..."

After a pause, he said to Ning Jia, "Didn't the third princess tell Concubine Cheng?"

"Mother, she knows..." Ning Jia cried.

"This..." Fang Qi lost her mind when she heard the words.

Still waiting to persuade, but I don't know how to speak.

Fang Rong has poured water in.

"Three princesses, wash your face." Fangrong said.

Ning Jia couldn't stop crying.

"Why don't you go to Captain Chi and let him think about what he can do." Fangrong said.

Ning Jia listened, stopped crying, and looked up at Fangrong.

"That's a solution, but, how can I see you?" Fang Qi said aside.

When asked here, Fang Rong was also in trouble.

"I've been paying attention in the past few days. If there is a chance, I'll let you all meet." Fang Qi said.

"Is this possible?" Ning Jia hesitated.

"Always give it a try." Fang Rong said.

Ning Jia nodded slightly.

Yu'er fell asleep on the couch, occasionally wagging her tail gently.

On this day, Ning Jia spoke less than usual, and did not think about eating or drinking.

Fang Qi persuaded a few times, and reluctantly drank a few mouthfuls of soup.

In the evening, Ning Jia rested early.

Lying on the couch, he tossed and turned, and hadn't slept for a long time.

Listening to the outside, the third watch drum has been played.

Yu'er jumped off the bed, transformed into a human figure, patted her shoulder, and said, "Get up if you can't sleep."

Ning Jia sat up and said, "Why don't you sleep?"

"Take you somewhere." Yu'er said.

"Where to?" Ning Jia asked.

Yu'er took her hand, turned around the Begonia screen, and opened the big red pear flower door.

"It's so late, you can't walk around in the palace." Ning Jia took a step back.

"No wandering in the palace, then, why don't we walk outside the palace." Yu'er smiled.

"What? Outside the palace?" Ning Jia said with wide eyes.

Yu'er suddenly picked her up, jumped up the wall, and headed outside the palace.

She went very fast, only to see Lan Ying passing by, already outside the palace.

"Where is this going?" Ning Jia gasped for breath before letting it go.

"You'll know when you go." Yu'er smiled.

Without stopping, he left Jingyue City all the way and came to the forest outside the city.

After walking for a while, he let go of Ning Jia.

Yu'er looked around, but saw no one, and said to Ning Jia, "It's a little early, just wait here for a while."

The night was as black as ink, and in the forest I saw the shadows of the trees and the occasional sound of birds.

Ning Jia grabbed Yu'er's arm and said in a trembling voice, "This, where is this?"

"The woods." Yu'er said.

"There is no one here, one, one, I, let's go back, go back." She was afraid, and she didn't speak very neatly.

"Go back? Don't you regret it." Yu'er smiled at her and pointed forward, "Look, here it is."

There were suddenly two more shadows in the forest, walking towards where they were.

"Yes, someone is coming..." Ning Jia tightened Yu'er's arm and hid behind her.

Yu'er patted her hand and smiled at the two who came over: "You're late."

"This guy, refused to come with me, it took a little effort." One person shook his head and smiled.

The two approached, and gradually saw the appearance.

One had a dark complexion, long eyebrows and thin lips, and the corners of his mouth revealed a sinister smile.

A water-embroidered ochre robe, Fengshen handsome, with some bruises on his face, saw Yuer and Ning Jia, froze on the spot, staring at her two.
