Li Nian was like a desperado, with the viciousness of dying in his eyes.
He said: "The Cheng family will not die a good death. If you betray your lust to accompany Wei Yanzhou, you will not die a good death either!"
"Shut up! Shut him up!"
Li Nian's mouth was gagged, but he still stared at Cheng Ning fiercely.
"It doesn't matter," Cheng Ning smiled back: "You will die first anyway, right?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
Li Nian's eyes were scarlet. He didn't expect that he would fall into Cheng Ning's hands!
"Your Majesty," Zhou Kuo said with a sad face as he sent Cheng Ning out of prison, "Your Majesty, you really don't know what happened tonight?"
He didn't understand that since Cheng Ning wasn't trying to save anyone, why would he take the risk of coming to this prison?
"Don't worry, you know I'm responsible for it alone." Cheng Ning pressed his sore wrist: "Mr. Zhou."
"Hey! What's wrong?"
Zhou Kuo respected Cheng Ning very much. Even though the Cheng family was in decline now, no one could replace Cheng Ning's military achievements.
Female generals are even more admirable.
"Master Zhou has been in charge of the prison under Master Ouyang for many years, right? Do you want to be promoted?"
Who doesn’t want to be promoted?
In the final analysis, the position of jail warden is just a hard job of guarding prisoners.
No merit, no fault, no success.
Things like tonight can't happen yet, otherwise it would be due to lack of ability.
It sounds like Cheng Ning has this idea.
"Does Mr. Ouyang know about this tonight?" Cheng Ning asked.
Of course I don't know. What's the difference between letting the superiors know and letting the emperor know?
Zhou Kuo didn't dare to publicize the incident at the beginning. He originally wanted to wait until the time came to go to court, but he really had no choice but to talk about it.
"If Li Nian is not found, you can just cover it up. But this person has been found. What are you worried about? The Li family cannot escape the death penalty. You don't need to take credit and go further. You will stay in this position for the rest of your life." ?"
Cheng Ning also said a few more words because he saw Zhou Kuo as an honest and reliable person.
She is now in the harem, and there are too many times when she can't help herself. It is good for her to have one or two friends from the previous court.
If Zhou Kuo can ascend to the throne, he will also have a network of contacts from now on.
"What does the empress mean -?"
Cheng Ning walked out: "Master Zhou's position is not high enough to be heard by the heavens, but tonight Li Nian escaped from prison first and scolded the emperor later. This is a serious matter. Don't you ask His Majesty the Holy Judgment?"
He is indeed not qualified to meet the Holy Spirit directly.
Many things have to go through Ouyang Zhen, and it is precisely because of this that Wei Yanzhou cannot see his efforts.
What's the use of running around so busy.
Thankless.
Zhou Kuo understood, but still didn't know what to do.
"Before going to court, go outside Qinghe Hall and take off your hat to apologize."
Please excuse me?
Li Nian has obviously been captured!
"If I apologize directly to His Majesty, wouldn't I have skipped Mr. Ouyang?"
Cheng Ning patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion: "You are not Ouyang Zhen's direct subordinate. Please ask His Majesty to give you the power to strictly investigate the prison. The omissions in the prison should be investigated and repaired. This Who are you bothering? Your Majesty will reward you."
This move of retreating into advancement sounds okay?
Zhou Kuo suddenly understood: "Your Majesty, you have such a good plan!"
"These are all your thoughts and have nothing to do with me. When you get promoted, don't forget that I am the one."
"Where!" Zhou Kuo whispered: "Old General Cheng, my subordinates will also take good care of it."
He is a person who knows how to repay a favor. Even if it is not necessarily a favor, he has already expressed his gratitude.
Cheng Ning said no more.
Zhou Kuo actually sent someone to send Cheng Ning back to Linhua Palace.
After a thrilling night, Cheng Ning's bones were numb from exhaustion.
When she entered Linhua Palace, the courtyard was quiet.
It was very late at night, and everyone in the palace was asleep.
When she entered the hall and woke Chunhua up, he almost screamed.
Holding her sore neck, Chunhua was frightened and almost cried: "I thought Linhua Palace was assassinated."
She was knocked unconscious by Cheng Ning before she could react at all.
Seeing Cheng Ning now, I was instinctively afraid.
"Good Chunhua, it's okay." Cheng Ning rubbed her neck for her, then looked at the bed, signaling Chunhua not to speak with her eyes.
Wei Yanzhou didn't seem to have changed his position, his breathing was shallow and he was sleeping soundly.
After changing into her middle coat, Cheng Ning crept onto the bed.
Although he felt that Wei Yanzhou would not wake up easily due to the medicine, he was still afraid of disturbing him.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yanzhou woke up as soon as she went to bed.
He opened his eyes and met Cheng Ning's eyes, his eyes clear.
Cheng Ning's heart stopped for a moment.
But in just the blink of an eye, Cheng Ning's body was dragged over by Wei Yanzhou, and he was held in his arms tightly.
As if dissatisfied with the coldness on her body, he pulled the quilt up to Cheng Ning's ears, almost covering her nose.
Rubbing Cheng Ning's neck twice, Wei Yanzhou murmured: "It's cold and smelly."
It probably smells like hell.
Fortunately, he was not completely awake, otherwise he would have become suspicious.
Cheng Ning turned around in his arms and faced him, looking at Wei Yanzhou's features under the dim light.
Concubine Wen, the first queen.
She determined that the source of Wei Yanzhou's hatred for the Cheng family was related to these two people.
Dad's stiffness when he mentioned Concubine Wen was completely unexpected.
He seemed certain that Wei Yanzhou would not tell him the truth.
What is it that these two people are hiding from her?
After this trip, things seemed to be back to square one.
But her father asked her to kill Wei Yanzhou.
What kind of thing requires killing someone to smooth things over?
Her hands slowly covered Wei Yanzhou's neck and made a pinching motion.
In fact, as long as you use your strength now, there is no chance of winning.
It was rare for Wei Yanzhou to sleep in front of her without knowing what was going on. This unguarded look was the best opportunity for her to take action.
She tightened her palms and felt Wei Yanzhou's pulse.
Thumping.
He probably felt Cheng Ning's movements or was chilled by her cold hands.
Wei Yanzhou was dissatisfied, so he took off her hand and rubbed it in his hands.
He hugged Cheng Ning a little tighter, so that no air could get through to her.
Cheng Ning sighed softly and made no movement with his hands.
——If it was Cheng Ning a month ago, he might have decisively killed Wei Yanzhou.
It doesn't matter if you can't kill him. Even if you injure the enemy a thousand, you will suffer eight hundred losses.
But now Cheng Ning can no longer kill him so decisively.
She was overwhelmed by the dense fog and couldn't breathe.
Occasionally, she was caught up in Wei Yanzhou's unconscious warmth and became no longer like herself.
She told Cheng Fengxu that she would find the truth, but she didn't know where the way was.
Most of the old people are dead.
Dad refused to say anything.
Sometimes at night, she would feel a lot of fear in her heart.
Because that truth must be terrifying and must penetrate people.
Otherwise, Wei Yanzhou cannot be made to hate him to that extent.
Sleepless night.
At the fifth watch, Wang Xi came to urge him.
When Wei Yanzhou was woken up by Cheng Ning, he was unusually lazy and seemed not to wake up completely. He pressed Cheng Ning under him and closed his eyes.
"I mean, Your Majesty! You are really heavy, can you get off me?"
Wei Yanzhou stayed still and rubbed the tip of his nose lightly on her skin: "Why do I feel like you have drugged me? I feel so lazy."
