"That's not true." Jiang Xiaohan couldn't watch the two children arguing, and took over the conversation in a timely manner, and said: "On the way here, I happened to bump into the prince who was going to Linhua Palace. Stop and say a few words, listen The prince said that he wanted to find a trustworthy wet nurse and servant."

Jiang Xiaohan got to the point, and Ning Yan understood.

He thought about it carefully. Before he left for the expedition, Yan Qing and Jing Zhan were responsible for his cold poison. The unprecedented incident could be hidden from others, but also from his family.Everyone in the Jiang family is extremely clever, as long as they hear about Ning Jing, they can guess it with a little thought.

After all, this matter was not done on the stage, and Ning Yan didn't want to say more, so he coughed dryly and made a haha ​​to round up the topic.

"But speaking of it, my little sister has indeed been out with me for too long." Ning Yan said: "She is a girl, and the teacher is worried about her running so far alone."

"What's the matter." Jiang Xiaohan sighed helplessly, and said, "The child is too old to control. Anyway, she is used to running wild in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, so it's good to practice."

"Speaking of which, the army has already entered the city, so it's time for her to go home." Jing Zhan frowned and asked, "Where is she?"

Ning Yan was startled, and recalled it carefully, only to realize that Jiang Ling did not return to Jiang Mansion halfway, but followed them into the palace.

"Well, it should be..." Ning Yan said uncertainly: "Should be with Ning Jing in the side hall? He Wenting—"

He Wenting hurriedly walked in from the outside, and replied: "Yes."

"Go to the side hall to have a look. If Second Miss Jiang is here, please invite her over." Ning Yan said, "Just say that her father and brother are here."

He Wenting responded, turned around and left.

After about a cup of tea, He Wenting left and returned.

He came back alone, he hesitated to speak when he came back, his face was a little delicate.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yan asked strangely, "A Ling isn't here?"

"Yes... yes." He Wenting said with difficulty: "Miss Jiang said that she has been traveling abroad for the past six months and has gained a lot. When she just entered the house, she suddenly had an epiphany. Come out when you understand."

Jing Zhan: "..."

Jiang Xiaohan seemed to have guessed that Jiang Ling would avoid the two of them, he picked up the teacup with a smile and said nothing, and took a sip of tea.

He Wenting obviously also felt that Jiang Ling's nonsense was too outrageous, and he was a little embarrassed after delivering the words. He smiled dryly at Jing Zhan, who had a bad face, walked close to Ning Yan, and leaned slightly to Ning Yan In his ear, he whispered to him: "Second Miss said that she will definitely be disciplined by the national teacher when she goes home now, so she doesn't want to go home, she said she will stay in the palace for two days, please His Majesty give her a room."

Ning Yan: "..."

Second Miss Jiang used Jing Zhan's name as "swindle and abduction" when she was outside without any pressure, and she never thought about what to do after the Dongchuang incident. Now that she returned to Beijing, she belatedly remembered that her brother was not easy to mess with.

But at any rate, Jiang Ling also helped Ning Yan a lot when he was in Anqing Mansion, and now Ning Yan can only bite the bullet and cover for her.

"My little sister is probably tired too." Ning Yan opened his eyes and said nonsense: "And Ah Jing, who has always been taken care of by my little sister, can't do without her easily, otherwise the teacher will let my little sister stay in the palace for a few days— —It happens to go to court tomorrow, and I still have a reward for her, saving her from having to turn back when she returns home."

Jing Zhan didn't seem to agree, but Jiang Xiaohan was still sitting here without saying a word, and Jing Zhan couldn't surpass him as the master of the family, so he could only acquiesce along with him.

"Your Majesty is really polite about offering rewards." Jiang Xiaohan said: "It is the duty of a courtier to share the worries of the king. It is very good that A Ling can help."

"The teacher doesn't know that my little sister is not just helping me." Ning Yan said: "She saved my life."

Jiang Xiaohan was slightly taken aback, obviously he really didn't know about it.

Ning Yan touched the warm jade string on his right wrist. Ning Huaijin found it for him and said it could warm his hand injury.Ning Yan took it for more than half a month, and got used to touching it twice when thinking about something.

Although he refused to meet civil and military officials, saying that he would save the conversation until the morning of the court tomorrow, but after all, he will be in court tomorrow to reward meritorious ministers, so he can't really keep silent.

So Ning Yan picked up the frontline matters and mentioned them to Jiang Xiaohan, and also elaborated on some things that were inconvenient to write in the military newspaper.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't expect that Ning Yan's road to conquest would be more ups and downs than he imagined. For a while, he didn't know whether to say that he was dangerous or bold.

Ning Yan took a sip of the sweet soup to moisten his throat, and then said: "This time, the little girl is both smart and brave. She dared to break into the dragon's lake and the tiger's den. She has indeed made meritorious service in escorting her. There is no need for the teacher to refuse any rewards."

Ning Yan's words have already reached this point, and it would seem a little ignorant to refuse again.So Jiang Xiaohan could only stand up and thank Ning Yan for Jiang Ling's kindness for the time being.

In addition to things on the front line, who will be rewarded and punished tomorrow, and who will be investigated by excuses, Ning Yan also mentioned his intentions to Jiang Xiaohan, so that he can prepare in advance.

Jiang Xiaohan understands that this is for him to disclose some news in a timely manner, beat and beat those courtiers who are not on Ning Yan's "list", and tell them to be quiet, don't think that he is also a grasshopper on the rope, and jump up indiscriminately , but Ning Yan was ashamed.

"Others are trivial matters." Jiang Xiaohan said, "But how does His Majesty the Shu family plan to deal with it?"

Generally speaking, those who are involved in rebellion, let alone a number of high-ranking courtiers, let alone ransacking their families and exterminating their families, the Shu family is no exception.But Shu Qinghui's troubles lie in that he didn't do anything about food and supplies, and secondly, he didn't collude with Ning Zheng to report the enemy's situation. In the end, it was just that he could handle the matter of sending Jiang Xuan into the palace.

When Jiang Xiaohan asked this question, he was asking Ning Yan on the sidelines, whether Jiang Xuan poisoned and murdered Ning Yan in the harem should continue to be concealed, or could it be revealed and convicted.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't mention this matter, and Ning Yan had already thought about it for a long time.Although the matter of cold poison involving his heirs is easy to turmoil, but with Ning Huaijin around, he will definitely not marry another wife and concubine, and this matter will have to be discussed sooner or later.That being the case, it would be better to give them some information first, so that when they find a chance to tell the truth later, it will be much more credible.

However, Shu Qinghui's father, Shu Chuan, was indeed a good minister. He was diligent and loyal to the country all his life, and his portrait could be hung in Lingyan Pavilion.Aside from involving many disciples at home and abroad, Ning Yan also wanted to give the old prime minister some face.

"There is conclusive evidence that the Shu family was involved in the rebellion, and I will hand it over to Dali Temple for investigation. But for Shu Chuan's sake, I am willing to let it go." Ning Yan pondered for a moment, then said: "How about it, Shu Jianan Ding above the age of 12 will be executed, and those under the age of 12 will be exiled with the female relatives, and three generations will not be allowed to enter Beijing for scientific examination."

"Your Majesty is magnanimous." Jiang Xiaohan sighed.

"The rest of the people, after all, did not directly participate in the conspiracy. Most of them just cling to the Queen Mother's party." Ning Yan said: "Pick a few early birds and shoot them down, and beat the rest."

Jiang Xiaohan said yes.

Ning Yan was explaining the matter here, when he suddenly heard someone from outside reporting that the Seventh Prince had come and wanted to see His Majesty.

Ning Yan was taken aback.

He guessed that he couldn't live in peace today, but he really didn't expect that Ning Yue was the first one among his clan to come to see him.

"Your Majesty has just come back, so you really need to be in a hurry." Jiang Xiaohan asked almost all the questions he wanted to ask, so he stood up at the right time and saluted: "Then I will take my leave first."

Ning Yan nodded slightly, and said, "Teacher, be careful on the way back."

As soon as Jiang Xiaohan left, Jing Zhan didn't stay any longer, and left with him.

Ning Yan drank the remaining half bowl of sweet soup in two gulps, turned to look at He Wenting, wondering, "Why did Ning Yue come to see me?"

"Maybe there is something wrong." He Wenting said.

Ning Yan thought about it, but didn't think too much about it, so he nodded and said, "Then let him come in first."

Two years have passed, Ning Yue has grown a lot taller, and his childishness has faded, and he looks like a handsome young man.

He also became much more behaved, and he no longer held a horsewhip in his hand all the time. After he entered the door slowly, he gave Ning Yan a salute in a well-mannered manner.

"Is the sun coming out from the west?" Ning Yan raised his eyebrows, and said, "Or have you become sensible in the two years I've been away?"

Uncharacteristically, Ning Yue didn't blatantly argue with himself, but carefully sized Ning Yan up.

His imperial brother has been in the war for two years, his stature has grown a lot, and his appearance has become sharper. Just sitting behind the desk, he looks more intimidating than two years ago.

Ning Yue pondered over his reason for coming, feeling a little beating in his heart.

"Brother Emperor, younger brother..." Ning Yue hesitated for a moment, then asked in a stumbling manner: "My younger brother would like to ask, what do you want to do with the Shu family?"

The smile on Ning Yan's face faded slightly, he leaned back on the back of the chair, and touched the warm jade bracelet on his right wrist again.

"What?" Ning Yan asked lightly: "The Shu family, or other courtiers found your house?"

"No." Ning Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Huang, can you... can you hold your hands high and let the Shu family go?"

The smile on Ning Yan's face completely subsided, his face was slightly cold, and he looked at Ning Yue with a frown.

Ning Yue was always afraid of Ning Yan, not to mention that he kept his face cold on purpose, and the hair on his back was straightened by his staring eyes.

"How do you know that I'm going to attack the Shu family?" Ning Yan asked leisurely.

"Look at me, Lord Jiang has surrounded the Shu family for so long, I probably guessed it... Also, the Shu family must have made a mistake in sending Jiang Xuan into the palace and colluding with the Queen Mother." Ning Yue grumbled. Said: "But, but Brother Huang... Can you just hold your hand high, even if you are dismissed from office or something, it doesn't matter, just save the Shu family's life."

"No." Ning Yan said bluntly.

Ning Yue guessed that he would refuse, but he didn't expect him to be so merciless, without even asking why he begged.

Ning Yue's heart was pounding, he knew that if he was smart, he should leave now, so as not to get involved in this muddy water, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

But his feet seemed to be stuck on the ground inexplicably, and he couldn't move a step away.

There was a battle between heaven and man in his heart, but in the end, his emotions prevailed. After a while, he threw himself on the ground and knelt down, and took a few steps forward on his knees.

"Either, or not to leave them alive." Ning Yue seemed to have lost his mind, and begged in a low voice: "It's just Brother Huang, can you... can you marry Sister Shu to me."
