Ning Huaijin: "..."

He was taken aback by Jiang Xiaohan's words of "rebellion and injustice". He hesitated for a long time without reacting.

"This king knows that Mingyuan's words are a joke, but don't say it anyway." After a while, Ning Huaijin said in a low voice: "As a courtier, it is the duty to be loyal to the emperor and love the country, otherwise if you play with power, rely on your majesty." If you love and act recklessly, what is it?"

"Why, will the prince harm His Majesty?" Jiang Xiaohan asked back.

"Of course not." Ning Huaijin said firmly.

"Then what is the prince afraid of?" Jiang Xiaohan said: "These words are intimidating to people with unscrupulous intentions, and they are deterrent to those who follow power, but to the prince, what use are these four words?"

Jiang Xiaohan paused, and said lightly: "The relationship between the prince and your majesty is beyond the reach of ordinary monarchs and ministers. Even if you don't mention any love and love, there is also a relationship of mutual dependence and mutual support. For the ministers, your majesty It's His Majesty, but to Wang Ye, do you need me to explain who His Majesty is?"

Ning Huaijin was slightly taken aback, he heard Jiang Xiaohan's implication.

"Since the prince's affection does not originate from the intention of the monarch and his ministers, then what's the point of throwing away the words of loyalty and patriotism." Jiang Xiaohan didn't dare to say anything outrageous, so he turned a corner and said tactfully: "It's hard Could it be that without these four words, the prince's mind for His Majesty has changed."

Nonsense, this is pure nonsense.

But Ning Huaijin couldn't find anything to refute.

Naturally, he would not treat Ning Yan differently just because of his changed status, just as Jiang Xiaohan's implication said - even if Ning Yan was not the emperor, Ning Huaijin's affection for him would not be reduced in any way.

In that case, anyway, whether Ning Huaijin pampers or loves Ning Yan, it is out of personal affection, so it makes no difference whether he is loyal to the emperor or not.

Jiang Xiaohan always has this ability, he can forcibly break a path from the side of "orthodoxy", say black and white, and make three points of truth without reason.

"This king..."

As soon as Ning Huaijin spoke, she stopped herself.He didn't know how to refute it was one, and he didn't want to refute it was the second.At this moment just now, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been vaguely waiting for such a sentence all this time, waiting for someone to give him some advice, to pull out the most secret and selfish point from the bottom of his heart. stuff, and tell him it's "nothing".

This act of looking for himself from the outside world is very weak, but he can't ask Ning Yan—because Ning Yan loves him too much.

"To be honest, Mingyuan." Ning Huaijin said slowly, "Sometimes, this king also feels that compared to His Majesty, he is indeed too weak."

Ning Huaijin went so far, she didn't bother to analyze how "weak" she was, but Jiang Xiaohan understood that with Prince Gong's character, if he could say such a sentence, he was already putting himself away from the place where no one was around. I turned my mind inside out and read it several times.

He kneaded all hesitation and hesitation into a ball, and squeezed into these two words with a very casual attitude, so that this sentence sounds lighter than any heartfelt words, but it is also more important than anything else. Heavy.

Jiang Xiaohan also grew up in a family of aristocrats, and he has been living in this three-acre land in the capital since he can remember.In a small place the size of a palm in the capital city, a stone was thrown from the city gate and hit ten people, five of whom were clan relatives who beat around the bush, and of the remaining five, there were two aristocratic families and two important ministers, leaving only one ordinary family It's all right to lose.

Power and status are the most ubiquitous things in the capital, and they are also the least valuable things.

Before Jiang Xiaohan was 16 years old, his father, who was the prime minister, supported his family. If he calculated carefully, his life was more decent than that of a so-called "clan" like Ning Huaijin who was not known.

"It's nothing, love will make people weak." Jiang Xiaohan smiled, spread his hands and gestured: "I'm not afraid of the prince's jokes, I only found out after I became a family that it's good to have someone to share with you when you encounter problems—— Although after you get married you have to copy books for nothing other than official business, but compared to these trivial things, there are more benefits after all. Since someone hurts, why do you have to make yourself a steel frame?"

Ning Huaijin was comforted by his words, pursed her lips, and smiled lightly.

"This king knows that I worry too much." Ning Huaijin said: "But sometimes I can't control myself, and I still feel flustered for no reason."

"The prince is still worried about things like reputation?" Jiang Xiaohan asked softly, "I'm still worried that your majesty has no longevity."

"Neither." Ning Huaijin smiled wryly and shook her head.

In the past two years, Ning Huaijin has seen everything about Ning Yan's treatment of him. If he is still worried about these things, he can't justify himself.

"This king is worried about your Majesty." Ning Huaijin said: "It doesn't matter what this king is. The worst thing is to write a mark in the history books. There has never been a Prince Gong's mansion. But what does it matter? Death is like a lamp." If I close my eyes after a hundred years, I don’t care if there will be someone offering incense later.”

"But His Majesty is still so young, it is difficult to sit in that seat. If there is any stain on him, it will stay there forever." Ning Huaijin pinched the bridge of her nose and said a little tiredly: "This king doesn't want to Let future generations hear His Majesty's name, and what they think of is not his life's achievements, but his disregard for human relations, Xiao misses his uncle."

"Did the prince tell His Majesty this?" Jiang Xiaohan asked.

"No." Ning Huaijin said.

How could he have the nerve to tell Ning Yan these words? If he said a single word, with Ning Yan's character, it would naturally reassure him that he didn't have to care about these things, and Ning Yan would take care of them.But he is also a man himself, how could he leave everything to Ning Yan, and hide himself like a turtle, not listening to the ups and downs outside.

People's hearts are fleshy. He said that he was willing to serve the emperor with others, but he couldn't have a bit of grudge in his heart.He is not a heartless wooden man, when he misunderstood that Linglong was pregnant in Nanyang Mansion, he was heartbroken, let alone now.

It's not because Ning Yan is the emperor, if he was a child of an ordinary family, Ning Huaijin would have taken him back to his residence to raise him well, and lived his own life behind closed doors, without worrying about anything.It's not all because Ning Yan is sitting on the dragon chair, and his words and deeds are watched by others, so he has to sacrifice.

Ning Huaijin originally thought that he didn't need to speak out about these things, but Ning Yan himself understood that he was just empatheticly bringing this up to avoid embarrassing Ning Yan, but in the end it turned out like this.

Jiang Xiaohan felt a little helpless in his heart. In his opinion, this was not a big deal at all. It was nothing more than two people being together and polite to each other. No one dared to take the first step to be a righteous "wicked person". Right and wrong caused by lack of communication.

If this is an old couple who have been together for ten or eight years, let alone arguing to the point where they don't see each other, even arguing and bickering are not worth it.

"The prince just thinks too much." Jiang Xiaohan said lightly: "If you want me to say, since your majesty likes the prince to be more frank and rely on him, don't always be polite, then the prince might as well do what your majesty wants, and be at ease You both will be happy to be a favorite."

"By the way." Jiang Xiaohan suddenly seemed to remember something, beat his palms, and said, "Actually, there is something that I have been forgetting to tell the prince."

"What?" Ning Huaijin asked subconsciously.

"Your Majesty didn't want people to tell the prince about this, but after thinking about it, I think it's not good to hide it from the prince." Jiang Xiaohan said, "Fortunately, your majesty didn't order to seal it up, so the prince will take it as my slip of the tongue. "

Ning Huaijin frowned slowly.

When Ning Yan set Ruan Yin and Ning Zheng in the first place, there were indeed many things buried in his heart, and he hadn't told him about it, but now that the battle is over, there is nothing to hide, so Ning Yan can be called What is it that tells you "don't tell him"?

"Your Majesty has cold poison in his body. Apart from making the body weak and cold, the poison can also make people extinct." Jiang Xiaohan said bluntly: "The poison will be overwhelming, and the children born are young and weak, and cannot bear the cold poison attack, so -"

Ning Huaijin stood up with a groan.

His face was full of surprise, obviously shocked by these two words.

Looking at his expression, Jiang Xiaohan knew that Ning Yan really hid this matter well. Two years later, even though Ning Yan brought Ning Jing back, Ning Huaijin still didn't know anything about it.

——But yes, Jiang Xiaohan thought, Ning Yan, an emperor, if he wanted to hide something from Ning Huaijin, it would be a matter of easy lip service.

"My lord—"

"Mingyuan." Ning Huaijin interrupted him, "Thank you for today's matter. I have to enter the palace today, so I won't stay any longer. You... You should take good care of yourself."

After Ning Huaijin finished speaking, she cupped her hands in a perfunctory manner, and left in a hurry as if being chased by a cat without saying goodbye.

Jiang Xiaohan watched his back as he left in a hurry, and slowly took a sip of tea from the cup.

Ning Huaijin left, while Yan Qing pushed open the door and entered.He didn't say much after he came in, he just asked lightly: "Did you tell him?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Xiaohan stretched out his hand in the direction of Yan Qing's entrance, raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said, "If you want me to say, it makes people worry if the prince is not enlightened, and His Majesty is also at fault. Live life, hide it and hide it What's better, it's better to say everything as soon as possible, and everything is gone."

Yan Qing hummed, took his hand obediently, and sat beside him.

"You're not afraid of taking a dose of strong medicine, and they will quarrel even more violently," Yan Qing said.

"No." Jiang Xiaohan stroked Yan Qing's fingers, and said with a smile: "My lord's character is probably in distress now. He used his chance to be tough in front of His Majesty in this life two years ago. People squeeze and flatten."

"Ning Yan is not a person who lets go casually." Yan Qing said, "Even if you don't get involved in this matter, the two of them can go together."

"I know." Master Jiang leaned facelessly on the head of the bed, gently pinched Yan Qing's fingertips with his thumb and index finger and rubbed them.

"But since the matter is irreversible, we can avoid going astray." Jiang Xiaohan said, "It's not a big deal at first, but the prince is young, and His Majesty is even younger. It's just like a huge disagreement. They all came from when they were young, and if they reach my age, they can see everything."

"Yeah." Yan Qing rolled his eyes and looked at him teasingly: "It's all based on experience."
