Dingjiangshan

He Wenting was startled, and reached out to help him.Ning Yan brushed his hand away, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips nonchalantly, straightened up and smiled.

"It turned out to be in the incense." Ning Yan said in a low voice: "It saves the time of eating with the queen mother."

Ning Yan's face turned slightly pale, but he sat upright, and there was still a little blood on the corner of his lips that had not been wiped off, making him look a little inexplicably fragile.

Looking at his appearance, Ruan Yin felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye for the first time.

As early as the moment Ning Yan made his voice, He Wenting raised his voice and called the guards outside to come in and took out the half-person-high incense burner in the house and poured water to extinguish it. Ning Yan didn't speak, He Wenting didn't dare to force him to go out, so he could only hurry Instruct people to open the window to ventilate and chat for comfort.

Ruan Yin watched coldly, but did not stop her.She took off the beads on her wrist and took them in her hands, twisting them one by one, and waited quietly for most of the fragrance in the room to dissipate before she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Good son." Ruan Yinyu said earnestly, "How do you feel?"

Ning Yan was silent for a moment, as if she had really listened to Ruan Yin's words and felt herself.

He didn't feel any pain or dizziness. Apart from coughing up a mouthful of blood, he didn't feel any great discomfort for the time being. He only felt a slight numbness in the bones and blood all over his body.Ning Yan tentatively moved his fingertips out of Ruan Yin's line of sight, and found that the itching could not hinder his actions, so he relaxed a little.

"It's okay." Ning Yan said.

Ruan Yin only thought that he was being brave, and didn't expose him, she just smiled.

"You are very similar to your father." Ruan Yin twisted the beads and said with a smile: "You are just like him back then, cruel and arrogant, no matter what kind of sword trap you encounter, as long as it doesn't hurt your life, you don't care about anything , dare to try anything."

"Father and son." Ning Yan said calmly, "It must be similar."

"If Zheng'er is half like your father, Aijia won't have to worry about him every day." Ruan Yin glanced at him approvingly at first, but then she shook her head again and said, "... ...But it’s not like it’s okay, the late Emperor walked dangerously on the blade all his life, and finally got a good death, it’s his luck.”

"But can you have the good luck of the late emperor?" Ruan Yin changed the subject and said: "Taking the dangerous peak in a desperate situation is to break a way out. It is brave and resourceful and desperate. But if you live in peace However, it would be conceited to insist on sinking into dangerous places.”

"The mother's lesson is right." Ning Yan relaxed her body, leaned back on the back of the chair, folded her hands in front of her, and said casually: "That's why the mother did it herself to teach the son this 'lesson'?"

The numb itching in his body became more intense than before, climbing all the way up his fingertips, Ning Yan endured a shiver, and calmly swallowed a mouthful of blood.

"You can't have both. Even a person like your father has to give up a lot of things when he sits on this throne-love, freedom, self-will... and so on. The world and himself, throughout the ages, have never been able to have both. Quan, there is no such good thing in this world." Ruan Yin paused, and continued: "... so that you can not only secure the throne, but also want your beloved."

"So since you don't want to let go of any of them, the queen mother has come to help you choose."

Ning Yan almost laughed out loud.

Ruan Yin is good at everything, in terms of strategy and cruelty, she can be regarded as the best among women.But maybe it was because she was favored too much since she was a child, so that she was raised with more than caution, but not enough awe.

She trusts her own judgment too much, so after making a decision, she seldom thinks about the omissions in the plan.

This is her only weakness, and it is also Ning Yan's greatest reliance for daring to take risks.

"Mother, as far as I know." Ning Yan said pointedly: "Your medicine will not kill me."

"Ning Huaijin did the research for you, and the Ai family knows." Ruan Yin was not surprised: "He is so fast that he can make a fuss under Zheng'er's nose. But what's the use of being fast, the Ai family said, You, like your father, prefer to take risks, so it is inevitable that you will suffer from this arrogance."

Ruan Yin paused while twisting the beads, and asked, "Do you know what this medicine is called in Yuanjiang?"

"It's called June Han, and it's also called Duan Zhi." Ruan Yin didn't care about Ning Yan's reaction, and continued on her own: "As for why it's called the latter, it's because the cold poison is extremely poisonous, and my lord is still strong and strong. It can resist it, but if a child under the age of six swallows it by mistake, he will definitely not live for three days, and he will be dragged to death by cold and fever."

Ning Yan was silent for a moment, and then said relaxedly: "Let me guess, the queen mother wants to tell me that this cold poison cannot be completely eliminated if it is induced.

"You're not stupid." Ruan Yin said.

He Wenting was shocked when he heard it, if Ruan Yin did not exaggerate to deceive Ning Yan, then it was obvious that she was rushing to make Ning Yan die.

If this poison really passes on to young children, together with the symptoms of cold and fever, no matter how many children Ning Yan has in the future, they will not be able to escape the fate of "early death".Ruan Yin's move was extremely vicious.

"After all, the queen mother and the third elder brother have traveled a long way, and almost bypassed the entire Dachu to send the medicine to the palace. I don't think it is just to see me suffer." Ning Yan said calmly: "After thinking about it, I can There is only one possibility."

"Let me think about it, the queen mother's idea is nothing more than to let me have no heirs, and I can only have an heir from the side." Ning Yan said: "If I really do this, the queen mother must have a thousand ways to get the third brother back to the capital— ——At that time, my life will not be important anymore, there will be people in the clan who want to tear me down, and let this person live in the side branch."

"How could it be?" Ruan Yin said almost lovingly: "My good son, the throne is always our own, how could the queen mother let it fall into the hands of others."

Ning Yan sneered.

"I also want to thank my mother for answering questions." Ning Yan confirmed the conjecture in his heart, then pressed the armrest secretly and stood up.

He Wenting's eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance that he was struggling, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help his arm.Ning Yan didn't brush him away this time, but stood there and collected himself.

"But the queen mother must be disappointed." Ning Yan said: "The emperor told his sons and ministers when he was dying that year, if the mother mother and the third elder brother are restless in the future, I don't have to be soft-hearted, and I must make a decisive decision to avoid future troubles—— so it seems , father is really far-sighted."

Ning Yan didn't see anything unusual on his face, but when He Wenting helped him, he felt that the clothes on his back were soaked in cold sweat, and his hands under the thin fabric were shaking slightly.

The smile on Ruan Yin's face has faded at some point, she is not young after all, no matter how good the powder and rouge are, they can't cover the lines at the corners of her eyes and the white strands on her temples, but she has a stronger temper Unconvinced by his old age, he always has exquisite makeup, as if he has put a stiff mask on himself for no reason.

"Pass down the order." Ning Yan finally lost his patience, and said coldly: "Order the forbidden army to surround the Renshou Palace. Without my order, no one else can enter or leave."

Someone outside the window responded quickly, the imperial guards were already quite close to guarding the palace city, and Ning Yan's orders would turn Renshou Palace into an iron bucket within half a stick of incense.

Ruan Yin still didn't stop her, but looked at Ning Yan's back with pity as she turned and left.

——He seemed to be able to do anything with ease, but his footsteps were sloppy, and it was obvious at a glance that he was suppressing discomfort.

If you don't leave quickly, you might show your timidity in front of her, Ruan Yin thought.

Ning Yan stepped out of the palace gate, and a figure appeared behind the screen.Standing beside the screen, Jiang Xuan watched Ning Yan leave through the half-opened window, with worry on her face.

"Empress Dowager." Jiang Xuan said, "Your Majesty is going to kill you."

"Fish and death?" Ruan Yin raised her final voice slightly, sounding in a good mood: "It's still early. He seems to be decisive, but he is actually impatient. He can keep Ai's family together today and tomorrow, but he can't keep Ai's family together for the rest of his life. Three or five days later, when the clan asked, he couldn't come up with a reason, so he still had to remove the guards."

"The courtiers can't see it." Jiang Xuan said: "Your Majesty poisoning people is such a big deal. Even if you are the empress dowager, it may be difficult for you to retreat in front of your clan and courtiers."

"He doesn't dare." Ruan Yin said firmly: "If he dares to expose this matter, he will never be able to get around this one. At that time, he will not only have to deal with the Ai family, but also have to deal with the covetous Clansmen... let's see if he dares to let go of the big fence of the tiger and wolf enclosure."

"When the time comes, it's hard to say whether the clansmen are toward him or toward the throne."

Renshou Palace is not far from the main hall to the palace gate, only thirty or forty steps.However, it was okay when he was sitting in the room just now, but when he went out and was blown by the cool wind in the palace, Ning Yan trembled uncontrollably.

Even though it was noon on a sunny day, he still shivered for no reason. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold air was surging upwards.

He Wenting's hug was neither support nor support, but fortunately Ning Yan didn't feel any other discomfort except the cold, and he could walk more steadily with He Wenting's hand.

"Go...cough." As soon as Ning Yan walked to the side of the car, he leaned over the shaft and choked out a mouthful of blood. The blood stains fell on the bluestone floor tiles, and the color was a little black.

It's a bit powerful, Ning Yan thought, it's indeed a secret handwriting infiltrated from the harem, which makes people hard to guard against.Fortunately, he is an emperor, and he has a lot of people at his disposal. If some woman in the deep palace suffered such a catastrophe, I am afraid that he would spend his whole life not being able to find out where he died.

——It’s a good thing that things are turned against each other, and Ning Zheng’s brain can’t even keep up with Ruan Yin’s.

Ning Yan waved his hand, wiped off the blood on the corner of his lips, and ordered casually: "Go and call the national teacher."

"This——" He Wenting has served Ning Yan since he was a child, and has always seen him as noble and precious. He has never suffered such a crime, and his heart aches, and he complains repeatedly: "Why did your majesty come here? body."

"Ruan Yin's words are very correct. When you become an emperor, there are many things you can't do." Ning Yan paused, and then said: "So I can only find someone to do it for me—even if it is an enemy. "
