That night, the carriage swayed forward throughout the night. Lin Xiaolu hugged Shuai Shuaiya and slept directly in the carriage with Jiang Ning and others.
Although the royal carriage was not spacious enough for them to lie down directly, the little guys were not ordinary people. Even the mortal Jiang Ning was a warrior who had endured hardships, so they could sleep well.
On the second day, as soon as it got dark, the guards served them a variety of ingredients, which made Lin Xiaolu satisfied and satisfied.
"It's better to be the emperor."
In the carriage, Lin Xiaolu was half lying on the cushion, patting his belly and humming to Jiang Ning comfortably:
"Aning, I will tell my sister later that if we can't survive in Emei, we will go to Datang together to join you. Based on our relationship, you have to give me a high official position."
Jiang Ning's smile trembled, while Shangguan Pomegranate snorted disdainfully: "When the time comes, I will give you the position of a great eunuch, and let others call you Eunuch Lin."
"What is a eunuch?" Lin Xiaolu asked curiously.
"A high official, someone who specializes in serving the emperor."
"Then I shouldn't do it. I don't like to serve others." Lin Xiaolu looked arrogant, and then said to Wu Gu:
"Wuguo, if you can no longer survive in Buddhism, come to the Tang Dynasty. Let Aning build a temple for you. Then you can sit in the temple and recite sutras every day. Then all the people of the Tang Dynasty will come to worship you. One day After praying dozens of times, you will become a Buddha immediately."
"Pfft, hahahaha."
Several people in the carriage suddenly burst into laughter. Wu Gu also looked at Lin Xiaolu with shame and anger, trying to hold back his laughter.
They spent the whole day in such a pleasant chatting atmosphere, and it was not until mid-afternoon that the carriage gradually arrived in the capital.
At this time, the sun had set and the sky had turned dark. The carriage arrived at the Capital Palace. Jiang Ning immediately jumped out of the carriage with excitement, carrying a long and narrow black cloth bag, and Lin Xiaolu and others also followed. Got the car.
At this moment, the entrance to the majestic and magnificent palace was very lively. Countless guards lined the streets to greet her. Jiang Ning’s uncle, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Jiang Ning, was wearing a majestic black robe with a full expression on his face. Standing in tears at the city gate to greet him.
Jiang Ning couldn't control herself the moment she saw the middle-aged man, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Three months after her parents died, this was the first time she saw her familiar relatives.
At the gate of the palace, Lin Xiaolu held Handsome Duck in his arms and stood with Wu Guan Shangguan Shiliu and others. He watched the middle-aged man talking to Jiang Ning. During this period, the middle-aged man who seemed to be quite nice cursed several times. Jiang Ning's younger brother is the Tang traitor named Jiang Yuan'an.
Perhaps it was because there was not much left in the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty. After the two met, they chatted for half an hour before they remembered that Lin Xiaolu and the others were still standing.
"These are probably Ning'er's friends. I'm really grateful to you for taking care of Ning'er along the way."
The middle-aged man, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, expressed his gratitude to several people apologetically, and said with a sincere expression: "I have prepared a dinner for you. You young heroes can go and enjoy it. Don't worry, I will wait for you to regain control of the Tang Dynasty. I will definitely give you heavy rewards!"
Lin Xiaolu nodded blankly, then hugged Handsome Duck and looked at Jiang Ning who was standing behind the man.
"Aning, won't you go to dinner with us?"
Jiang Ning nodded and said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Emperor, I'm a little hungry too, how about I."
The middle-aged man interrupted her with a smile: "No rush, Qianlong Hongying is on business, let your friends eat first, and you can go find them later."
After saying that, he patted Jiang Ning's shoulder and said in a very small voice: "Ning'er, don't blame the emperor for overthinking. You know how important Qianlong Hongying is to our Tang Dynasty. This thing is in your hands." You can’t use it in your hands, it’s really too dangerous.”
"But."
The middle-aged man patted her and said, "Don't worry, the emperor knows what he's doing and won't treat your friends badly. They are all benefactors of our Jiang family."
After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and continued to smile at Lin Xiaolu: "Young heroes, let's eat first. I haven't seen my poor little niece for a long time, so naturally I have something to say. Please understand. I will ask Jiang Ning to find you."
Looking at the imperial uncle in front of her, Jiang Ning was slightly confused, but she didn't say anything after thinking about it.
After all, Qianlong Hongying is the only hope to regain the Tang Dynasty, so it is understandable that the emperor's uncle should be cautious.
She wiped her tears, forced a smile, and waved cutely towards Lin Xiaolu.
"I'll find you in a moment."
Lin Xiaolu pursed his lips when he heard this, and said unhappily, "Oh, that's okay."
Shangguan Shiliu was carefree and thought nothing of it. He waved to Jiang Ning with a smile and said with a smile:
"Aning, come quickly. I'll leave some food for you, otherwise Lin Xiaolu will eat it all in a while."
Wugou held the rosary, tightly holding the bead that represented the Bodhisattva's multi-hearing power with his fingers, and stood there calmly. For a long time, when he saw that the bead did not turn, he nodded gently to Jiang Ning.
…
…
Soon, several people followed the guards in the palace to have a meal. Jiang Ning turned his eyes and said respectfully to the middle-aged man in front of him:
"Uncle, let's enter the palace."
"good."
The middle-aged man led the girl into the palace. Along the way, he kept greeting his little niece and asked carefully about the three-month journey. When he heard that Jiang Ning had encountered Yun Gu several times in order to get here, When the monks of the sect were chasing him, they immediately sighed.
"Ning'er, it's really hard on you. Brother and sister-in-law were killed by that evil son Jiang Yuanan. Such a big burden falls on the shoulders of a little girl like you."
He patted Jiang Ning's shoulder with pity and comforted him: "Don't worry, Ning'er, you can rest for the next two days. When the emperor's uncle completely masters Qianlong Hongying, he will go to the Yun Bone Sect and kill that evil son himself. To sacrifice my brother’s spirit in heaven.”
Jiang Ning nodded silently when she heard this. Perhaps the mention of her father and mother made her feel a little depressed.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a palace called Yangxin Hall. At the entrance of the palace, the middle-aged man waved to the guards.
"All of you, please retreat. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
The guards shouted: "Here" and then retreated one by one.
After everyone left, the middle-aged man took Jiang Ning into the empty hall.
After walking deep into the hall, he stopped, turned around and said with a smile:
"Ning'er, there is no one here at all. Let's discuss things here so that the emperor can rest assured."
Jiang Ning nodded when he heard this and said softly, "Yeah."
The middle-aged man glanced at the black cloth bag in her hand again, and continued to smile gently: "What you are holding is the legendary Qianlong Hongying? Come, show it to the emperor."
With that said, he stretched out his hand towards Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded obediently and raised her hand to hand Qianlong Hongying to her uncle, whom she had respected since childhood. But when she was about to put the black cloth bag into the middle-aged man's hands, she suddenly thought of What, the movement suddenly stopped.
"Uncle Emperor, Qianlong Hongying, you and your father have known each other since childhood. Why did you just say it was a legend?"
In the main hall, Jiang Ning looked hesitantly at the amiable elder in front of him and asked with a slightly trembling voice.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was completely frozen, and the smile on the middle-aged man's face became extremely stiff.
And the next moment! The alert Jiang Ning turned around and ran out of the hall, while the middle-aged man watched silently. When she was about to run out, he raised his hand expressionlessly, and a strong suction force suddenly came out, directly All the hollow wooden doors in the main hall were closed, blocking Jiang Ning's way!
He looked at the panicked Jiang Ning and smiled jokingly:
"I'm really sorry. This is my first time playing someone else. I have no experience, so there will inevitably be shortcomings.
And I didn’t expect that you, a fourteen-year-old girl, would be so alert, that you would be able to discover my flaws from such a casual remark.
Yes, she is indeed the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty who is known as both civil and military. "
