Dingjiangshan

Ning Huaijin never expected that Ning Yan could make such a big deal after he just went to the Forbidden Army City Defense Camp for a long time.

When he heard the news, he hadn't sorted out the list of the forbidden army, so he hurried into the palace without caring about the work in hand.

Today's morning meeting broke up unhappily, and Ning Yan naturally didn't call anyone to discuss matters. He stayed in the study room all morning to review the backlog of memorials.

The old injury on his hand is serious, and the wound will start to hurt if he holds the pen for a while, and the speed of reviewing the memorials is much slower than before, so he can only find some time to approve one more letter.

When Ning Huaijin entered the door, Ning Yan just put down his pen and was about to rest for a while. Before he picked up the teacup in his hand, Ning Huaijin rushed in from the outside in a hurry.

Ning Huaijin never needs to be notified when he enters the palace, so He Wenting didn't find it strange that he came in suddenly, and even sent the maid in the house to show Ning Huaijin some tea.

"Uncle Huang is in such a hurry." Ning Yan looked at him amusedly: "Sit down, you are panting."

At this time, Ning Huaijin didn't have the heart to accompany him to gossip about these parents, and the first thing she said when she entered the door was to ask bluntly: "Did your majesty say that you won't be drafted in the future?"

The smile on Ning Yan's face faded a little, he lowered his head, skimmed off the tea foam floating in the bowl, lowered his head and took a sip, and then said: "Who is so talkative, it only took a while before it reached the emperor's ear." inside?"

Ning Huaijin was so anxious that she didn't want to hear him rambling about these useless things, so she asked: "Your Majesty, isn't it?"

Ning Yan knew that Ning Huaijin must ask for clarification today, so he simply put down his teacup and ordered, "Go out and bring them to the door."

He Wenting was born once and was acquainted twice, without Ning Yan's instructions, he had already waved his hands to signal the maids and maids in the room to leave first, and he walked at the end, closed the door behind him and guarded the door.

In the room, Ning Yan spread his hands to signal: "Uncle Huang sit down first."

Ning Huaijin didn't move, just looked at him with a disapproving look, as if he would not stop until he had an answer.

"I said it." Ning Yan admitted: "Otherwise? I have an uncle, so I still go to the draft?"

In normal times, Ning Huaijin could easily find out that something was wrong with Ning Yan.Although his demeanor is calm, his tone is flat and nothing unusual, but his eyes rarely meet Ning Huaijin's eyes, and most of them are fixed on a certain point of the book case, looking a little dazed, as if he is faintly suppressing something .

It's a pity that Ning Huaijin is angry and impatient now, full of questions, how could she notice such minor changes in Ning Yan.

"That's not what you said." Ning Huaijin breathed out in embarrassment, and said with a headache, "Your Majesty, how old are you this year? How can you make a decision on such a big matter without discussing it with your ministers in advance?"

Ning Huaijin just felt very bad, he didn't know what happened to Ning Yan.It stands to reason that with his personality, he would never be able to do such an arbitrary thing.Even if he had made up his mind to exchange peace with Ning Zheng, he did it in advance, step by step, and kept everyone a secret. How come he has become so disregarding the consequences now.

The draft is said to be a matter of the emperor's dragon bed, but in fact the source of concubines is not the family members of these important officials in the court.Ning Yan opened his mouth to say no to the draft, but it was not only his own business, but also related to the vital interests of the court, both inside and outside, how could he not arouse criticism from the court if he made a rash decision.

"So the emperor thinks that if I call them into the palace to discuss in advance, the negotiation will be completed?" Ning Yan curled his lips, showing a somewhat mocking smile: "They can accept this result with peace of mind. Never think about it again?"

Of course it is... no.

Ning Huaijin herself is also a courtier, and knows that the monarch and his ministers say they support each other, but each of them does have their own little children in their hearts. Unless it is Jiang Xiaohan and Xie Jue who have this generation and no next generation, no one would want to Give your family a little bit of the benefits of the family seal.

"Then there's no need to be so blunt." Ning Huaijin said, "Just like Mr. Jiang said, it's just a matter of delay. Your Majesty doesn't want to choose now, so you can just find a reason to stop talking about it for a few years. So Mao rashly said that he would not choose, and in the future—”

"If you want to re-elect in the future, be careful not to step down—Uncle Huang wants to say this." Ning Yan finally couldn't bear to interrupt him, and said coldly: "Until now, Uncle Huang is still preparing for my future regrets. "

"What?" Ning Huaijin didn't understand why this topic was suddenly thrown over by Ning Yan, and hurriedly said subconsciously: "I'm not doing it for myself—"

"Uncle Huang is for me, I know." Ning Yan finally turned his head, glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "Uncle Huang has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he always thinks of me in everything, and never thinks about himself... ...Of course I do."

Ning Huaijin was taken aback for a moment, and finally realized belatedly - something seemed wrong with Ning Yan.

"Your Majesty..." Ning Huaijin asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with you?"

Ning Yan didn't know what was wrong with him, he just started to hold back an evil fire since Jiang Xiaohan came yesterday afternoon, which couldn't dissipate, couldn't be suppressed, it made his temples hurt suddenly, and his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were agitated Very uncomfortable.

"I'm fine." Ning Yan took a deep breath, forced himself to hold back his anger and asked, "But it's too late to say this now, I've already talked about it in the court, if the emperor disagrees, is it right?" What do you want to do?"

"...It can't be anything." Ning Huaijin said: "The courtiers must not agree to this matter. I am afraid that they will have to submit a letter tomorrow. At that time, His Majesty will let go and give each other a step. Just delay it."

"So the emperor's uncle also meant that he asked me to leave a way out for myself?" Ning Yan asked.

Ning Huaijin's subtle feeling came again, he frowned and said, "You can't say that—"

"Then let me put it another way." Ning Yan said: "Back then in Nanyang Mansion, Uncle Huang mistakenly thought that Linglong was pregnant with my child, so he would be jealous and unhappy. Why is it that he has become more magnanimous when he mentions the draft?"

Ning Huaijin instinctively didn't want to answer this question, so she said vaguely, "Your Majesty doesn't want to choose?"

"What if I want to choose one day?" Ning Yan asked back: "The future is so long, who can say for sure."

Ning Huaijin pursed her lips, but said nothing.

"It doesn't matter if the emperor persuades me so earnestly, but if one day I really want to choose, what will the emperor do?" Ning Yan said.

Ning Huaijin was also faintly aroused, he was just here to persuade Ning Yan not to mess around, he was right about emotion and reason, but Ning Yan's refusal was not enough, and he even inexplicably brought up old scores .

What can he do? If Ning Yan really wanted to choose, could he hold his hand and not allow him to choose?

"Nothing to do." Ning Huaijin avoided Ning Yan's gaze, and said like a broken pot: "Your Majesty has his own considerations, but what I said will always count. Your sincerity is His Majesty's."

Ning Huaijin didn't know which lung of Ning Yan was stabbed by these words, but he jumped up, his chest heaved violently, and his eyes were fixed on Ning Huaijin.

"The reason why Uncle Huang is with me is because I like Uncle Huang and I like Uncle Huang. I can't do without Uncle Huang, right?" Ning Yan gritted his teeth, his voice trembling: "So Uncle Huang doesn't care too much. , if I like you, you can stay with me well. But if one day I lose interest and fall in love with someone else's noble daughter, the emperor's uncle also thinks that I am "repenting from evil" and that's fine, isn't it? .”

——Of course not, Ning Huaijin thought.

But he opened his mouth to refute, but found that he had nothing to refute, because Ning Yan's words were broken and crushed, but they were actually right.He had already planned it out, as long as Ning Yan still liked him a bit, he would never abandon Ning Yan's heart.

——This should be a good thing of loyalty, but it is so strange for Ning Yan to say it.

"Uncle Huang agreed to be with me, how much is it because he likes me?" Ning Yan asked.

Ning Huaijin said: "I..."

"Or let me put it another way." Ning Yan took a deep breath, fiddled with the scattered memorials on the desk, picked out the will from Jiang Xiaohan before, raised his hand and threw it in front of Ning Huaijin.

"If there wasn't this decree, wouldn't the uncle be married long ago?" Ning Yan asked.

The imperial decree fell in front of Ning Huaijin with Ning Yan's strength, and the paper was half rolled away. Ning Huaijin looked down and saw the seal that Ning Zongyuan personally stamped on it.

"Uncle Huang thinks about it." Ning Yan said: "Being a king is a serious crime."

This is the second time he said this sentence to Ning Huaijin. Last time in Nanyang Mansion, Ning Yan said this sentence to force out Ning Huaijin's sincerity.Unexpectedly, a year later, he still wanted to repeat the old tricks and force Ning Huaijin to tell the truth.

Ning Huaijin looked at the imperial edict on the ground, feeling sore in her heart.

Ten years is too long, long enough to form a habit.At first, he was indeed unwilling to get married because of the imperial decree, but then he gradually got used to living alone, so he simply didn't think about it anymore.

But if Ruo Ningyan asked if it was true, he really only had one answer that was the truth.

"Yes." Ning Huaijin said.

If Ning Zongyuan hadn't left such an imperial decree in order to prevent him, he might indeed have married the concubine step by step at the right age.

"But this is all in the past." Ning Huaijin was afraid that Ning Yan would think too much, and quickly explained: "The reason why I agreed to Your Majesty is not because the late emperor forbade my marriage—"

"It's just because you follow me and can't bear to refute me." Ning Yan said, "You think my love is precious and you don't want to spoil it. In addition, you love me so much that you can't see me suffering. After thinking about it, you also feel Since you have a relationship with me, you feel that there is nothing wrong with making me happy, don't you?"

Ning Huaijin was speechless.

This was indeed his original intention, but Ning Yan was obviously very concerned about this matter, Ning Huaijin couldn't admit it, but he couldn't lie to him, so he could only keep silent.

Ning Yan didn't feel enlightened until now. From the beginning of Ning Huaijin's "three chapters of agreement" to the so-called "confession of sincerity" now, it was all the result of his pressing hard and Ning Huaijin retreating step by step.

He hadn't thought about these things before.It's just that every time he was confused by himself, he didn't dare to think about it, and he was lucky in his heart, but now that this matter was in front of him, he finally couldn't pretend not to see it anymore.

Ning Huaijin didn't dare to continue talking about this matter with him. Ning Yan was obviously in a bad state, and everything he said now could only add fuel to the flames - and Ning Huaijin was indeed repeatedly attacked by him for a while. Wen was stunned, and felt that although he was full of things to say, it seemed that nothing was right at this time.

"...Is this love, Uncle Emperor?" Ning Yan didn't know whether he was angry or something, shaking violently, he asked slowly and blankly: "The late emperor had a large number of people in his harem, and Ruan Yin followed him all the way. The imperial concubine is also extremely gentle and caring towards him, but is that because she loves the late emperor, uncle?"

Ning Yan swayed abruptly, barely reached out to support the table, and finally managed to stand still.

Ning Huaijin panicked, subconsciously took two steps forward and wanted to reach out to help him.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body—"

"Dragon! Body! An! Kang!" Ning Yan's uneasiness and fear that had been suppressed by him all these years seemed to be unshackled in an instant, almost surging out.He swept the jade objects on the desk to the ground, and those fragile ornaments were smashed to pieces in an instant, making shocking loud noises one after another.

"My royal father was locked up by this man for the rest of his life. Up to now, I will still be locked up by this man! The surname Ning will never be released from life to life!"
