The window sash was blown back and forth by the night wind, making an exciting sound.
Hua Wu held the pole to fix it and looked outside: "Girl, it seems like it's going to rain."
Tang Ning nestled on the small couch: "How is Yue Jian?"
Hua Wu said: "Medicine has been applied to the wound. Dr. Sun said that except for the serious stabbing on the right back, the other muscles and bones were not injured. The servant had just sent the soup and medicine over and watched her drink it and rest before coming back. Girl Don't worry, Doctor Sun said it will be fine after a while."
"Where are aunt and Uncle Gu?"
"Madam has also rested. The head of the Gu family has taken Mu Feng to the other side of the Gu family, saying he is afraid of chaos in the business."
Hearing this, Tang Ning remembered that Gu Helian had transferred all the Gu family members to Jiuyun Lane during this period. Something happened suddenly tonight. The Lu family obviously wanted to target more than just Xiao Yan. When a large number of dead soldiers were invaded by Hexi Hall, the Tang Mansion Many people also entered, and they all went straight to Jiuxiaoyuan and my aunt's residence.
If Gu Helian hadn't brought enough manpower, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to take care of Heji Hall but not Tang Mansion.
"And the academy..."
"The academy is fine. Mr. Tong and the others just suffered minor injuries after falling. Everyone in the library is fine."
Hua Wu came over with a bowl of soup and muttered on her round little face: "Don't worry about other people. Everything is settled in the house and next door. Hang Li from the academy has also brought people there. , with Jinyun and the others watching, nothing will happen."
"It's just you. You haven't eaten much during the day, and you are in such a dangerous situation at night. Please take a few sips of the calming soup to calm down."
There are pitted longan and jujube kernels floating in the bowl, along with a few slices of lily, giving it a sweet smell.
Tang Ning was stuffed with a soup bowl in her hand and looked helplessly at Hua Wu who was a little unhappy. During this period of time, she was always used to having to think carefully about everything and did not dare to be careless at all. For a moment, she actually forgot that Xiao Yan had already He returned to the capital, and even Jinyun and the others who were taken out of the capital by him also came back.
Now that they are here, she really doesn't have to worry.
Seeing Hua Wu pouting and being unhappy, Tang Ning chuckled: "Okay, I'll eat it, little housekeeper."
When Xiao Yan came over, he saw Tang Ning curled up on the couch, holding a soup bowl and taking small bites with a spoon, looking very good.
She had something in her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, and a strand of black hair that she had rolled up casually fell on the side of her face. Under the shadow of the lamp next to her, her eyelashes like crow feathers were particularly curled, and her lips were as red as cherries.
It seemed that the thing in her mouth was so sweet that she smiled with her eyes gleaming.
Standing in front of the door, Xiao Yan's throat rolled slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on her red lips. Has he ever exerted such force before? Why does it look a little swollen...
When he stepped inside, both the master and the servant turned around.
"Lord Governor." Hua Wu saluted quickly.
Tang Ning was also surprised: "Brother, are you back?"
Seeing that she was about to get up, Xiao Yan quickly came closer, reached out to take the soothing soup that almost came out of her hand, and pressed her back gently: "I didn't tell you to rest earlier, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
Tang Ning's eyes curled up: "I'm worried about you and can't sleep."
The sincerity that comes out of his mouth is always the most touching. A smile burst out from Xiao Yan's eyes. Seeing that Hua Wu had withdrawn at some point, he put the calming soup aside and took Tang Ning into his arms before sitting down.
"Everything is going well in the palace. Emperor An has issued an order to send everyone in the Lu family to prison, and Lu Chongyuan's official position has also been lost."
"Very good."
Tang Ning was delighted. What she was most worried about was that Emperor An summoned Lu Chongyuan before Long Tingwei's people entered the capital. Once the matter of Nandi was brought up, and the Lu family and Emperor An were "tied" together, Emperor An might turn around and deal with Xiao. Disgusted.
Now Emperor An has directly imprisoned people, and Lu Chongyuan has fallen into the hands of Xiao Yan. It is impossible to face the saint again. With my brother's methods, he has many ways to drag the incident to the south. When the Wei Shang family of Longting comes to Beijing, it will be over. It was Lu Chongyuan who saw that Emperor An was of no use.
Tang Ning raised her head and asked, "What about Queen Lu? There is a fire in Fengxi Palace. Is she on fire?"
"My face and body were burned. Although I saved my life, my face was ruined."
Although Xiao Yan didn't deliberately inquire after entering the palace, someone still told her about Queen Lu's situation. According to the words of Feng Neishi's apprentice, although Queen Lu was not dead, she was still worse off than dead.
When the Fengxi Palace was flooded, Queen Lu was drugged. Jin Zhi, who was waiting beside her, disappeared for some reason. The newly appointed maid was far less loyal than Jin Zhi. When the fire got bigger, she ran away first, and Queen Lu was trapped in the fire. I woke up with pain in the curtain.
When she was rescued, Queen Lu's body was covered with burns and blisters, and half of her face was disfigured.
When the imperial doctor examined her, she kept screaming in pain and fainted several times.
"The fact that you asked Lu Yin to go to Jingzhao Mansion made Lu Chongyuan panic. Although his goal tonight was me, he also wanted to take the opportunity to kill Empress Lu. I just didn't expect that you had left someone in Fengxi Palace. Over there, together with Deshun, we took advantage of the chaos and fished the people out."
Xiao Yan held the person in his arms and rested his side face lightly on the top of her hair.
"Di An has already suspected Queen Shanglu, and everyone in Fengxi Palace has been detained. Deshun and our people took advantage of the chaos and ran away. I have arranged for them to leave the palace."
Tang Ning said: "That's good, but Empress Lu ended up like this because she brought it upon herself."
Xiao Yan said "huh?"
Tang Ning explained to him softly: "The most loyal person to Queen Lu in Fengxi Palace is Jin Zhi. If she were still alive, Queen Lu would not be so easily attacked. Even if there was a fire, Jin Zhi would risk his life to save her. But It’s a pity that Queen Lu is too cruel.”
"After the incident at Lingyun Temple, the Privy Council refused to let go of the fourth prince, and I deliberately made the matter bigger. Later, Zhao Yuanlang and the others probably scared Empress Lu by letting go of the fourth prince. She thought You must bring a golden branch to apologize to us."
Something happened suddenly that day. She originally planned to kill Queen Lu and the others directly if something was wrong, but she didn't expect that things didn't get to the worst, so she let Queen Lu go. Unexpectedly, Queen Lu herself was frightened.
The death of the fourth prince's concubine was the fault of the Zhao family and the Lu family, but Empress Lu kept the news secret from the outside world, only thinking that Xiao Yan was involved in it, and even thought that he let it go on purpose.
She was afraid that Xiao Yan would be cruel and ruthless by reliving old scores, and that the fourth prince would follow in the footsteps of the fourth prince's concubine, so she wanted to end Jinzhi's relationship and put the blame for Lingyun Temple's affairs on her.
Deshun rescued Jin Zhi and sent him out of the palace secretly.
Empress Lu, who had lost her golden branch, never expected that she would cruelly abandon her loyal servant, but in the end she would end up harming herself.
Xiao Yan listened to the little girl's soft voice and grabbed her fingers to play with them absentmindedly. His mind had already started racing wildly.
Why are Xiao Begonia's hands so small?
It's soft and spongy, tender and smooth to the touch, and the fingertips are still pink.
