Cut Frost

Chapter 55

The next day.

When Concubine Ye came to Xuyang Palace, Ning Yang was lying on the couch.

"Ningyang." Concubine Ye sat on the side of the couch and said to Ningyang.

Ning Yang turned his face away and didn't say anything.

"Does it still hurt?" Concubine Ye looked at the shocking whip marks, and regretted that she had done too much.

But at that time, my heart was aching, and my subordinates were no longer serious.

Ning Yang remained silent.

"Fenghua." Concubine Ye called.

"The servant is here." Fanhua replied hurriedly.

"Have you given the princess any medicine?" Concubine Ye asked.

"Princess she, she won't let her, take medicine..." Fanhua said suddenly, her voice getting softer.

"Bring the medicine." Concubine Ye said.

"Yes." Fanhua replied, and hurriedly went to get the medicine and presented it to Concubine Ye.

However, Ning Yang stood up and shouted at Concubine Ye, "Who asked you to be kind! What were you doing when you beat me?"

"Ningyang!" Ye Fei shouted, "Mother is not for your own good!"

"How can you let me marry that bum for me!" Ning Yang roared.

Concubine Ye stood up, pointed at Ning Yang and said sternly, "I, my whips, haven't you woken up yet?"

"I'm very awake!" Ning Yang grabbed the medicine box in Concubine Ye's hand and threw it out.

The medicine box was smashing on one's feet, and Emperor Yongping was standing in the house.

Blossoms are busy kneeling down to pick up the car.

Concubine Ye also greeted Emperor Yongping.

Ning Yang arrived at the couch, but stared straight at Emperor Yongping without salute.

"Ningyang, if you are injured, just lie down. The solitary king and your mother have a few words." Emperor Yongping said to Ningyang.

Emperor Yongping went to Jingye Palace first, but did not see Concubine Ye before he came to Xuyang Palace.

Ning Yang looked at Concubine Ye.

"Concubine Ye, it's rare that the weather is fine today. Would you like to accompany the Guwang Yu Garden?" Emperor Yongping said to Concubine Ye.

"Follow the decree." Concubine Ye replied bluntly.

Emperor Yongping turned around and left the Xuyang Palace first, and Concubine Ye followed and went to the Imperial Garden.

In the imperial garden, there are many shades of greenery, and the pomegranate flowers are like fire.

Emperor Yongping walked in front, and Concubine Ye followed silently behind.

Neither of the two had the heart to see the full garden.

Emperor Yongping suddenly stopped under a pomegranate tree and looked at the reddened trees.

Concubine Ye looked to the other side.

"You all go to Yueyin Pavilion and wait." Emperor Yongping said to Chang Fu.

"Yes." Chang Fu led a group of palace servants and retreated.

Concubine Ye did not speak.

"Concubine Ye, the solitary king still remembers that when you first married into the palace, it was also the season when pomegranates were in full bloom." Emperor Yongping looked at a tree of pomegranate flowers, his eyes drifting to the distant year.

"That was a long, long time ago." Concubine Ye looked at Emperor Yongping and said slowly.

"At that time, you were very gentle and often laughed." Emperor Yongping also looked back at her.

"Really? People always change." Concubine Ye's face was expressionless.

"Concubine Ye, in fact, the solitary king has always been very sad and couldn't save your father." Emperor Yongping said in a hoarse voice as he was hurt.

"I don't dare to be a concubine." Concubine Ye was still expressionless.

"Although the late emperor had a lot of helplessness, General Wu is your only relative after all." Emperor Yongping sighed.

"Emperor, I'm the only one left in the Wu family. If the emperor really cares about his concubine, let Ning Yang marry the third son of Prime Minister Xiao." Concubine Ye looked at Emperor Yongping and said calmly.

She has indeed changed a lot. She is restless and full of resentment, especially when facing Ning Yang.

Because that was the only thing she cared about.

She never showed such resentment towards Emperor Yongping.

"Concubine Ye, have you asked Ning Yang?" Emperor Yongping asked.

"She will know one day, this is for her good." Concubine Ye said.

"Ning Yang's temperament, you should know best." Emperor Yongping said.

"When the boat is done, she will accept her fate." Concubine Ye said.

"I won't!" Ning Yang suddenly came out from behind the rockery, holding a person in one hand.

Tall and burly, with long eyebrows and sword eyes, it is Meng Hanzhen, the fourth son of the Meng family.

"Ningyang!" Concubine Ye rushed forward, trying to pull her hand away.

However, Ning Yang held Meng Hanzhen's hand tightly and pushed Concubine Ye away.

"Meng Hanzhen, the last general, sees the emperor and the concubine Ye." Meng Hanzhen knelt down to Emperor Yongping.

Ning Yang also knelt down with him, holding his hand tightly.

Concubine Ye glared at Meng Hanzhen fiercely, and said sternly, "Do you still want your head?! Don't let go!"

"If you want to chop off his head, chop mine first!" Ning Yang raised his face and stared at Concubine Ye with wide eyes.

"You, you..." Concubine Ye pointed at Ning Yang, trembling all over, "You, I don't know what to do!"

"Royal father, I only like him, I won't marry anyone else!" Ning Yang said solemnly.

"Meng Jinwei." Emperor Yongping frowned.

Meng Hanzhen was newly promoted to the forbidden captain.

"The end is here." Meng Han said.

"Although you have the crown of the moon, how can you trespass into the imperial garden without being summoned by the solitary king? Do you know the crime?" Emperor Yongping sternly scolded.

"I will be convicted at the end." Meng Han said.

"It's good to be convicted." Emperor Yongping said, "come here!"

Chang Fu waited hurriedly to agree.

"Lianying!" Emperor Yongping shouted loudly.

Chang Fu hurriedly trotted out and shouted loudly, "Lieutenant Lian!"

Lian Ying heard the call and rushed over with three people.

"Lieutenant Lian, remove Meng Hanzhen from his crown and put him in the Heavenly Prison!" Emperor Yongping said sternly.

Lian Ying was stunned when she heard the order.

"Meng Hanzhen violated the laws of the country, committed rude crimes, and entered the heavenly prison to wait for the beheading!" Emperor Yongping said.

This time, Lian Ying was convinced that she had not heard it wrong, and replied, "Yes!"

With a wave of his hand, two people came up and removed Meng Han Zhenguan's belt.

"Royal Father!" Ning Yang "huo" stood up, "You really want to kill him?"

"He bewitched the princess first, and today he committed the deception of the king. Shouldn't he be executed? How can I save the face of the royal family!" Emperor Yongping said angrily.

"Okay!" Ning Yang said, "I'll go to the Heavenly Prison with him and wait for the emperor to ask him to be executed!"

As he said that, he pulled Meng Hanzhen up and pulled him to Lian Ying: "Lieutenant Lian, let's go."

A bitter look appeared on Lian Ying's face, looking at Ning Yang and Meng Hanzhen, not daring to move.

"What are you doing?" Ning Yang said, "If you don't go, we will go by ourselves!"

Pulled Meng Hanzhen and walked forward.

"Ning Yang, you lunatic!" Concubine Ye suddenly shouted from behind.

"Yes, I'm crazy!" Ning Yang turned back and raised his eyebrows.

"You..." Concubine Ye opened her mouth but couldn't say a word, she suddenly reached out and slapped Ning Yang in the face.

Ning Yang covered his face where he was beaten, and stared at Concubine Ye angrily: "You can kill me, anyway, I just want to marry him!"

Concubine Ye was trembling with anger and roared, "You don't know what to do, you idiot!"

Ning Yang snorted and said to Emperor Yongping: "Father, Ningyang has made up his mind. If Father punishes him, Ningyang will be punished with him!"

Emperor Yongping looked embarrassed and said to Concubine Ye: "The child has grown up and has her own thoughts. Since they have such a relationship, it is a beautiful thing to fulfill them, how about that?"

After listening to Emperor Yongping's words, Concubine Ye looked at Ning Yang's resolute and proud face, knowing that it was useless to say more, so she could only say: "It's up to the emperor to decide."

After that, he pushed Ningyang away and walked outside the park.

She was in a daze at this time, and her steps were shaking.

Hong Ling and Hongxiang rushed up to help her, but she pushed them away, staggering further and further away.

Emperor Yongping looked at her back with mixed feelings in his heart.

After a while, he gently waved his hand to Lian Ying.

Lian Ying hurriedly asked her men to let go of Meng Hanzhen.

"Father, you agreed?" Ning Yang looked at Emperor Yongping with bright eyes.

Emperor Yongping sighed and said to Ningyang, "Since you have to choose him, King Gu will answer you."

"Imperial Father!" Ning Yang said with a big smile.

"It's just that you should change your temperament. You have to spend more time with your mother in your spare time." Emperor Yongping looked at the direction of Concubine Ye's departure and said slowly.

"Yes, Ning Yang knows." Ning Yang said with a wide-eyed smile.

"Mengjianwei, Ningyang will be handed over to you in the future," Emperor Yongping said to Menghan, "You have to treat her well."

"Yes, thank the Emperor Longen!" Meng Hanzhen thanked Emperor Yongping.

Emperor Yongping left the imperial garden and did not go to the imperial study, but went to Dezhuang Palace.

"Your Majesty, why are you here now?" Empress Yizhuang hurriedly greeted her.

"The solitary king is a little tired, come here to rest." Emperor Yongping leaned on the couch and said lazily.

Empress Yizhuang took a thin quilt and covered it with him, and said softly, "Is there anything bothering you, Your Majesty?"

"I didn't expect Ningyang to do this..." Emperor Yongping sighed, "Shulan, the solitary king doesn't know whether he did it right or wrong."

"The children have their own destiny, and the emperor has done his best." Queen Yizhuang comforted softly.

"Alas, I hope they will be okay." Emperor Yongping said.

"They are interested in each other, of course it is better, the emperor can relax." Queen Yizhuang said.

"In Prime Minister Xiao's mansion, we still have to plan." Emperor Yongping said.

"The three princesses are gentle and well-behaved, and they are the best match for the three sons of the Xiao family. If you think about it, it should be no problem." Queen Yizhuang said.

Emperor Yongping nodded and said: "Ning Jia has always been well-behaved and submissive, which is the most distressing."

Empress Yizhuang also nodded and smiled, "That's why the emperor gave her the pair of purple jade bracelets, didn't he?"

"Over the years, she has always been humble and tolerant towards Ning Yang, and suffered a lot of grievances." Emperor Yongping sighed and lay down on the couch.

Empress Yizhuang put away the gauze and took the palace people out.

For a while, the whole house was silent, and Emperor Yongping fell asleep.

In the evening, Emperor Yongping came to Chengjing Palace.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Cheng saluted him.

"No gift." Emperor Yongping said.

Concubine Cheng poured tea with him and sat opposite each other.

"Have you heard of it?" Emperor Yongping looked at Concubine Cheng and said.

"Yes, the Empress has already told her concubine." Concubine Cheng said.

"What do you think?" Emperor Yongping asked.

"The Xiao family is the prime minister's mansion, and his third son, Xiao Hengqi, is gentle and courteous, so he should be compatible with Ning Jia." Concubine Cheng said.

"So good." Emperor Yongping nodded.

Concubine Cheng's temperament has always been docile, and such an answer was completely expected.

"Have you been to see Ning Jia recently?" Emperor Yongping asked.

"I've been there a few times." Concubine Cheng said.

"King Gu was busy with political affairs in the previous dynasty, and I haven't seen her for a long time." Emperor Yongping said, "Is she okay?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering, she is fine." Concubine Cheng said.

"That's good." Emperor Yongping said.

Concubine Cheng hesitated for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, Xichang he..."

The words were only half said.

"There was an epidemic in Xuanzhou, and Xichang went to Xuanzhou with Doctor Fu and Doctor Guan." Emperor Yongping tried his best to make his tone seem calmer.

"Is this epidemic serious?" Concubine Cheng couldn't help worrying.

"It's a little tricky, but there are two doctors, Fu and Guan. They have practiced medicine for many years and have superb medical skills. Don't worry, Concubine Cheng." Emperor Yongping comforted.

"Xichang has been frail since he was a child, and he has been interested in medicine. Since he is determined to do this, if he can do some effort for the people, it is also a matter of virtue." Cheng Fei said.

Emperor Yongping nodded and looked at Concubine Cheng.

The children have grown up, and the corners of her eyes have developed fine lines.

But the soft look is still the same as before.

If it weren't for that, maybe the Lone King and her would be like Shulan.

Although she was not like Concubine Ye and never resented, she always felt ashamed of her.

Emperor Yongping's thoughts were tumbling in his heart, and he was in a state of despair. He stood up silently and said to Concubine Cheng: "The solitary king still has some things to deal with, you should rest earlier."

"Yes." Concubine Cheng replied, "Don't be too tired, Your Majesty, rest early."

Emperor Yongping nodded and walked out of Chengjing Palace.

The bright moon hangs high, and the sky is full of brilliance, and the entire Jingyue City is gently enveloped.

Yu'er and Kurihara were in Chi Lin's room.

Kurihara leaned on the back of the chair, slung a slender grass root in his hand, put one foot on the stool next to him, waved his hand to Chi Rin and said, "Now from the emperor to the concubine Cheng, everyone is If you want the third princess to marry Prime Minister Xiao's third son, you kid should die."

Chi Rin glared at him and asked Yu'er, "Is Ning Jia okay?"

Yu'er spread her hands and said, "I just kept crying. You should think of a solution quickly. If the imperial decree comes down, I'm afraid this matter will never be changed again."

"I met the emperor in Chongqing Palace last night." Chi Rin said.

"Isn't your title still unable to face the Holy Spirit?" Yu'er asked curiously.

"Well," Chi Rin said, "I begged His Royal Highness to take me in."

Kurihara said: "Prince, this person is quite good."

"Then what? What did the emperor say?" Yu'er asked.

Chi Rin shook his head: "No matter how much I begged, the emperor completely ignored it, and said that the princess' wedding was a major event for the country, and the foreign ministers should not say much."

Kurihara "cut": "This emperor is too inhumane, you and the third princess are in love with each other, he has to beat the mandarin ducks, he is ruthless and cold-blooded!"

Yu'er looked at Chi Rin, but said, "You, a foreign minister, dared to covet the princess and even entered the Chongqing Palace at night. The emperor didn't punish you. It seems that he is quite generous to you."

Kurihara listened and nodded, "That's true."

Yu'er said: "If the Xiao Meng family came to ask for marriage at the same time, maybe the emperor would have fulfilled you and the third princess, then you would be a legitimate concubine."

Kurihara stood up from the chair, put the grass roots in his mouth, and waved to Chi Rin: "Unfortunately, now, I don't think you can do it as a concubine."

Chi Rin glared at him angrily: "Shut up!"

Yu'er patted Chi Rin's shoulder and said: "Don't be angry, don't be sad. Although you can't be a concubine, but the emperor likes you so much, you will definitely have a splendid future and limitless future. Choose. Otherwise, when the fourth princess is older, you can ask to marry the fourth princess, and you can still be a concubine.”

Chi Rin suddenly reached out and patted Yu'er's hand on his shoulder: "Have you two said enough? Who cares about being a concubine?"

Yu'er wondered, "You don't want to be the concubine? Then why are you pestering the third princess?"

"I want to marry Ning Jia because I want her to be my Chi Rin's wife! Whether she is a royal princess, a princess, or a commoner girl, as long as it is her, it will only be her!" Biting every word clearly, "She is my Chi Lin's wife, and I will never let her marry anyone else!"

His voice was calm in excitement, but also very firm.

Yu'er and Kurihara couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"

Chi Rin walked to the wall and took off his sword, and said, "I want to take Ning Jia out of the palace and out of Jingyue City!"

"You want to break into the palace at night?" Yu'er and Kurihara were both taken aback.

"There is no other way now, I must take Ning Jia away!" Chi Rin said, opened the door and walked out.

Yu'er grabbed his arm and dragged him back: "You go to the palace to kidnap the princess, I'm afraid you will be caught before you escape, and you will be sent to the Heavenly Prison to be beheaded."

"I will be careful in the dead of night." Chi Rin said.

Yu'er sighed and said, "That's it, let's help you bring the third princess out."

"You?" Chi Rin was a little surprised.

****************
Upstairs in Tianwaiquan, the emerald green window screen was pulled up, and the light blue veil outside the window fluttered gently with the breeze.

Yusu sat at the red sandalwood table, reading a book, occasionally looking at the window.

A dark shadow swept into the window and stood tall.

Blue mask, glazed face.

"Where is she?" You Jue asked.

"Jianjia Palace." Yu Su said.

"Jianjia Palace?" You Jue said.

"The third princess Yin Ningjia's bedroom in the palace." Yu Su said.

There was a smile on the corner of You Jue's mouth, and her eyes opened lightly: "Very good."
