The moment he received Ning Yan's message, the big rock in Ning Huaijin's heart finally fell with a bang, making him dizzy, and the uneasiness that he had deliberately suppressed these days was found.

Before he even had time to listen to Shili Shuo's message, he covered his forehead and took half a step back to sit on the edge of the bed.

"My lord..." Shili hurriedly said, "Your lord, you—"

Ning Huaijin waved at him and said, "What did Your Majesty say?"

Shili told Ning Yan's oral letter to Ning Huaijin verbatim. After hearing this, Ning Huaijin closed her eyes severely and said a few words of God's blessing in her heart.

The battle on the front line gradually closed, without Ning Zheng sitting in the battle, Shunchang Mansion was no longer a piece of steel. These days, Zheng Shaohui fought several beautiful victories one after another, and it seemed that taking Shunchang Mansion was just around the corner.

As for Luzhou Mansion, Xie Jue was sitting in the formation, so there was no need for Ning Huaijin to stare at him all the time. After thinking about it, Ning Huaijin decided to leave immediately. According to Ning Yan's order, he took some people back to Huoshan County first, and sent those people back to Huoshan County. Sort out the place inside and out, so as not to find any baskets.

Before Ning Huaijin left, Xie Jue also came. General Xie has been holding back anger these days. While wanting to let go of his hands and feet and teach Ning Zheng a good lesson, he is also afraid that Ning Zheng will escape after the Luzhou Mansion is broken. Going back to Anqing Mansion to start attacking Ning Yan, so he could only call him back, and he was scruples about propriety, so he was exhausted.

"Since Your Majesty has escaped, then I don't have to worry." Xie Jue stood by the door and watched Ning Huaijin pack up his things, and complained casually: "The city wall of Luzhou Mansion is about to be smashed into a hole by our people. It’s also fortunate that I haven’t entered until today—by the way, which way does His Majesty go?”

"I don't know." Ning Huaijin turned her back to Xie Jue, folded a set of underwear and stuffed it into her bag. Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "Your Majesty didn't say anything."

Ning Huaijin actually thought about whether she should send a team of people to meet Ning Yan.But Ning Yan's message only said to let him go back and wait, but he didn't say at all which way he took, who he was with, and how many days it would take to get there.

Ning Huaijin was afraid that they were fleeing incognito, and if someone went out to meet them, they would reveal their whereabouts, and it would be bad if Ning Zheng became suspicious.

"...Since His Majesty was able to escape safely from Anqing Mansion, there must be a way to escape. It's fine." Xie Jue comforted dryly: "Besides, there are Shadow Guards and A Ling around, as long as Ning Zheng doesn't bring Qian It must be all right for 800 people to block them. Anqing Mansion is only a short distance away, and it will arrive within three or two days."

Ning Huaijin hummed, looking preoccupied and not very happy.

Xie Jue also knew that Ning Yan's handling of this matter was not very authentic, not to mention that it was not in compliance with the rules, it was really too scary.

"It's a good thing to come back in full order." Xie Jue persuaded: "Your lord, don't worry too much... If you're really unhappy, just give me a few words of reprimand. The war has come to an end, so it's not worth it. Things got crazy."

Ning Huaijin had a reaction now, he packed the burden properly, tied the two knots fiercely, and agreed: "This king knows."

Xie Jue couldn't really poke his head open to see if he really "knew", he just clicked on it.

"By the way." Xie Jue said, "Your Majesty was also surprised this time. I asked Xiao Yuan to pack up and go back with the prince, so that if your Majesty has any bumps, you won't be able to find a suitable doctor."

Ning Huaijin thought about it, but did not refuse, and accepted Xie Jue's kindness.

Apart from the initial message, Ning Yan has no other news.Ning Huaijin returned to Huoshan County in advance and waited for two days. The more she waited, the more her heart beat, fearing that Ning Yan might make a mistake on the way.

Ning Yan himself could hold his breath, and refused to say anything except to report that he was safe.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Ning Yan's bicycle frame slowly swayed into the city.Ning Huaijin got the news from the Shouchengying, she put aside what she was doing ahead of time, and hurriedly went to wait at the gate of the government office.

It's just that when Ning Yan was outside, he couldn't rest his mind day and night, but now that Ning Yan was about to come back to meet him, Ning Huaijin felt a little homely and timid.

He felt happy intellectually, but there was a certain kind of unclear emotion lingering, as if a haze had been cast on his heart out of thin air, so that even the joy became blurred.

But Huoshan County is only a small town the size of a palm, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to walk from the south of the city to the north of the city. Ning Huaijin only stood at the door for a moment, and saw a carriage turn around at the end of the path.

The carriage looked very simple, and it walked slowly, creaking and creaking occasionally.

Qin Liu had already torn off the cloth covering his face, and saw Ning Huaijin waiting from a long distance away, so he raised the whip in his hand and urged the horse driving the carriage to speed up.

Until the carriage really stopped at the entrance of the government office, the door was half opened from the inside, and when Ning Yan supported Qin Liu's hand and leaned out half of his body, all the emotions in Ning Huaijin's heart were almost instantly suppressed. Swept away.

Ning Huaijin subconsciously took two quick steps to meet him, grabbed Ning Yan's other arm and helped him get out of the car.

His eyes fixed on Ning Yan, and there was only one thought in his mind for a moment.

--fortunately.

This thought quickly occupied all of Ning Huaijin's thoughts, so that he couldn't think about anything else at all, he just sighed instinctively, which sounded like he was greatly relieved.

With this sigh, Ning Yan quickly raised his head and glanced at Ning Huaijin, then quickly let go of the hand supporting Qin Liu, and leaned most of his weight on Ning Huaijin, almost submissively borrowing Get out of the car with his strength.

Ning Huaijin carefully and gently supported him to stand still, her eyes flicked back and forth a few times on Ning Yan, but she never looked at him properly.

In fact, Ning Yan seemed to have a calm expression, but in fact he was very guilty in his heart.Although he had already planned to "cut first and then play", but now that the beheading is finished, how to "play" is a big problem.

Ning Yan pursed her lips, and was about to say something to break the awkward atmosphere, when Ning Huaijin suddenly took a step forward and hugged him completely.

Ning Huaijin's arms embraced Ning Yan's waist and shoulders with such strength that they almost embedded him in his arms.

He was too scared.

From the moment Ning Yan disappeared in front of his eyes, Ning Huaijin hardly had a good night's sleep in the past month.He was awakened by all kinds of nightmares almost every night, but there was nothing he could do. He could only bear with this helplessness, waiting for Ning Yan to pull him out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, and then a big hand seemed to be stuffed into his chest out of thin air, and his heart softened at that moment.

Ning Yan hugged Ning Huaijin in this posture, and his left hand stroked Ning Huaijin's spine from top to bottom as if to comfort her.

He couldn't use his injured right hand, so he could only do the next best thing, and lightly knocked Ning Huaijin's back with his elbow.

"Uncle Emperor." Ning Yan whispered, "I'm fine."

I don't know if I didn't hear it clearly or I heard it clearly but didn't want to respond. In short, Ning Huaijin didn't speak.

He seemed to be using this intimate gesture of hugging to make sure that Ning Yan was intact, so compared to Ning Yan, Ning Huaijin's reaction was a little too quiet.

Ning Yan let him hug her for a while, feeling that something was wrong with Ning Huaijin's state.

Prince Gong has always been unwilling to get close to him in front of people, whether he is angry or worried, he should hug him behind closed doors, there is absolutely no reason to hug him in public and not let go.

Ning Yan guessed that the string in his heart loosened too suddenly, and was afraid that he would hurt his body, so he bumped his shoulder lightly with some worry, and whispered: "Uncle Huang... Huai Jin?"

Ning Huaijin finally heard Ning Yan's voice this time, he hummed softly, let go, stood up straight, and looked at Ning Yan.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming soon?" Ning Huaijin asked.

Ning Huaijin's reaction was not quite what Ning Yan had imagined, he seemed a little too plain, Ning Yan's heart that was already on his back suddenly lifted up, and he looked at his expression without any trace .

When he was in Anqing Mansion, Ning Yan had his own face when facing Changle Wang and his wife, using all kinds of threats and lures.But now when he came back and saw Ning Huaijin, he became much more honest.

"I'm afraid you'll scold me." Ning Yan smiled wryly, and replied honestly.

Ning Huaijin choked for a moment, then sighed helplessly, and said, "Then His Majesty still did it."

"I have--"

Just as Ning Yan wanted to explain something, Ning Huaijin shook his head. He looked at Ning Yan with gentle eyes, and said slowly: "To my minister, it is more important than anything else that your Majesty is well."

These days, Ning Huaijin has mixed thoughts, and has thought about many things about Ning Yan's return.Whether it's "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall" or "being an emperor, don't act recklessly", Prince Gong can always pick out many mistakes to persuade Ning Yan. no.

But the moment Ning Huaijin saw Ning Yan, he felt that these were not important.Ning Yan himself came back safely, and to him, it was God's blessing, and he had nothing more to ask for.

"It's just—" Ning Huaijin lowered her eyes, lowered her voice, and discussed with him almost humbly: "Can your majesty agree to this minister? This is the last time your majesty will risk his life."

Ning Yan was wronged at first, but he felt ashamed when he saw that he didn't scold and scold him like this. There was no reason for him not to agree, and he hurriedly assured him repeatedly that this time must be the last time his mind was muddled, and he would definitely correct himself in the future. Don't do this kind of immoral thing again.

Ning Huaijin patiently listened to him finish the long series of "guarantees", but she couldn't tell whether she was satisfied or not, so she just nodded and agreed.

This gentle attitude was really not in line with Ning Huaijin's usual personality, and the sense of disobedience in Ning Yan's heart became more and more serious, so that he became a little uneasy.

Ning Yan frowned slowly, and looked at Ning Huaijin carefully, feeling that something was wrong with him.

But Ning Yan didn't ask anything hastily, he thought for a while, and simply lifted up the sleeve of his right hand, showing Ning Huaijin the wound wrapped in a thick white cloth.

Ning Yan wanted to test his emotions, and while staring at his reaction, he said slowly: "Not to mention anything else, I'm afraid Uncle Huang has to find a doctor for me first, and—"

"—and find a wet nurse!" Jiang Ling got out of the carriage with her baby in her arms and quickly interjected.

Ning Yan: "..."
