What?
Zhou Jingxian's words came out of the blue, leaving Ning Wuhuang's two-foot-old monk scratching his head.
"Which question?"
The last time he saw Zhou Jingxian was at the lake tour and lotus viewing party two days ago.
Apart from borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha and giving her a poem about "Ice Drink Shop", he didn't ask her any questions.
Pushing forward...
After looking at the account books, her mind was a little confused. Before Ning Wuyan could figure it out, Zhou Jingxian looked around and said to Yun Fei who was standing outside the door: "You go down first. I have something to say to your young master."
Yunfei did not move, but looked at Ning Wuyan, silently asking where to go.
Ning Wuyan thought that when he met Zhou Jingxian before, Yunfei was there.
It seems that what I want to say this time is a whisper that cannot reach the ears of a third person. The matter is a bit big.
"Go and rest. I'll call you when the food is ready."
Ning Wuyan sent Yunfei away, found two small benches, gave them to Zhou Jingxian, and sat in front of the stove.
Zhiqa~~
Zhou Jingxian closed the kitchen door.
The light in the room suddenly became dim. Fortunately, in order to prevent heat stroke while cooking, he put a basin of ice cubes in the kitchen.
Otherwise, the two of them might be suffocated to death without even talking a few words.
Zhou Jingxian sat on a small bench one step away, the expression on her face changing.
Ning Wushan was not in a hurry, waiting for her to think about the right words before speaking.
"My father fell from his horse and was injured."
The sentence had no beginning and no end, but Ning Wuhuang suddenly realized what the problem she just mentioned was.
When Zhou Jingxian told him that Zhou An used Boss Ye's token to issue a summons at Sangen Pavilion to gather killers to kill him.
Zhou Jingxian once said that she would definitely help him tide over difficulties if necessary.
He asked back at that time: "If I need to fight back, what if I ask you to kill Zhou An?"
At that time, Zhou Jingxian did not give him an answer, and even left as if to escape.
He felt at that time that Zhou Jingxian, a fairly decisive and decisive person, could have such a mentality, which was probably due to the influence of his family members.
In other words.
Whether on the surface or in his heart, King Kang still values brotherhood and has no intention of fighting to the death with King Jin.
but.
The situation in Jing'an City may have undergone major changes, causing Zhou Jingxian to change his mind.
"Prince Kang was injured when he fell from his horse. Is the injury serious?"
Ning Wuyang asked with concern.
Zhou Jingxian saw that his priority was to care about her father's physical condition. Her eyes turned red and she replied with a choked voice: "My father was injured in an accident when he went hunting with the emperor during the summer vacation. Thanks to his bodyguard, he sacrificed his life." Rescue, my father only suffered a slight scratch, but the guard was trampled through the abdomen by the horse... and died."
so serious? !
Ning Wuyan's eyes changed sharply, and he asked: "Is only Prince Kang accompanying the emperor?"
"Yes, because Governor Su conducted a thorough investigation of Jiangnan Province officials due to the Ye family case, Governor Xu received reports from other counties and participated in a book about the King of Jin. Two bachelors of the Hanlin Academy asked His Majesty to bring order to the chaos, and the King of Jin was punished to shut up and think for a long time. Months, I can’t leave the house until the case is cleared up.”
When Zhou Jingxian said this, the conversation suddenly changed.
"Later, when I went to investigate the matter of the frightened horse, my father learned that the person who fed the horse that day was the brother-in-law of the deputy manager of the Jin Palace. However, they were too secretive and found no evidence. However, the next day, my father went to court injured. The people sent by the King of Jin then attacked in groups, claiming that the father was injured and it was not appropriate to continue to take over the Jingwei Army, so the emperor had to withdraw his authority from the Jingwei Army."
Zhou Jingxian clenched her fists, her eyes looking like they were about to burst out of fire due to grief and anger.
Ning Wuyang understood her mood, but felt that she still thought of things too simply.
Since King Kang was only slightly injured, the old emperor only had to ask the imperial physician to examine the injury in public to silence the Jin faction.
But the old emperor did not do this. Instead, he pushed the situation and facilitated this matter. In addition, the number of retired and injured soldiers in Jinling Mansion increased.
This shows that military power is becoming more and more important to the great rejuvenation of the country.
The old emperor may have been holding back the idea of gathering soldiers from other places to fight in the future, and took the opportunity to regain the military power of the Beijing Guard Army assigned to his son. Why would he not be accused of changing orders overnight to prevent his son's rebel army from usurping the imperial power? Not for?
That's what happened, but Ning Wuchang finally waited until Zhou Jingxian saw the cruel truth of the battle with the Jin Wang faction, and he could only unkindly choose to rub salt into her wounds.
"I heard that King Jin had killed several of Prince Kang's nephews long before this..."
"two."
Zhou Jingxian squeezed out these two words through her teeth.
Thinking of her cousin who died tragically, she almost bit her silver teeth into pieces.
"But my father and I didn't expect that Prince Jin would be so crazy. Did he think that Grandpa Huang wouldn't know about what he did?"
"It doesn't matter whether the emperor knows it or not. If Prince Kang dies, the emperor can only choose him. If Prince Kang is only slightly injured, he deliberately left clues. There is no guarantee that after the emperor finds out, he will think that he wants to beat him up."
Ning Wuyan's words shocked Zhou Jingxian.
When she came back to her senses, she was even more angry.
"How could my father sacrifice the life of a guard in order to discredit King Jin? What's more, Uncle Zhuo is his childhood friend! All my kung fu was taught by Uncle Zhuo!"
Zhou Jingxian's voice was filled with tears.
This also made Ning Wuchang understand why Zhou Jingxian came to him after learning the news, and then changed her mind without any beginning or end.
Fine.
Then he should stop adding salt to her wounds.
"Princess Xian, the battle for imperial power has always been a matter of life and death. Fortunately, it's not too late for you to realize this now."
Ning Wuyan stood up, poured a cup of herbal tea for Zhou Jingxian, and put it into her hand.
Zhou Jingxian took a sip, sniffed, and then said: "Zhou An has summoned the killers from Sangen Pavilion. In my opinion, he will soon find an opportunity to attack you. If he insists on killing you, I will Take the opportunity to destroy him, and then inform Grandpa Yu of his crime."
oh.
Ning Wuhuang knew that for Zhou Jingxian, deposing Zhou An, losing his title, losing the love of the old emperor, and becoming an abandoned son in the hands of the King of Jin was the biggest punishment for Zhou An.
But for him.
Cut the grass without eradicating its roots, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
What kind of enemy will not pose a threat to the safety of yourself and your family?
It had to be a dead person.
"Thank you very much, Princess Jingxian, for your kind help. But based on what I saw when I visited the lake and admired the flowers that day, Zhou An seems to not only want to attack me, but may also want to use the killers of Sangen Pavilion to get rid of you."
"He's dreaming!"
Zhou Jingxian disagreed with this.
First of all, although the killers of Sangen Pavilion were paid to do their work, she was a third-grade princess personally named by the emperor's grandfather, and she was also the person in charge of Yujiu Winery.
Even those Jianghu organizations dare not openly oppose the royal children.
Ning Wuyan didn't expect that his groundless speculation could convince Zhou Jingxian.
After all, an upright and inexperienced girl like Zhou Jingxian cannot guess what a sinister person like Zhou An is thinking secretly.
And there are some words that he cannot say too clearly to Zhou Jingxian, lest Zhou Jingxian realize that his true intention is not to protect himself.
But to kill Zhou An with a backhand!
then.
He continued to throw out a psychological hint.
