Chapter 170 East Palace

Imperial Palace, Eastern Palace.

Prince's Study Room.

When the prince Ning Zhiyi closed a memorial in front of him, he rubbed his brows and shut off the two palace maids who had fanned him. He held the armrests with both hands, and tried to push his fat body away from the chair with some difficulty.

It was raised up.

With just such a simple action, fine beads of sweat emerged from his forehead, and he even stood still for a moment and took a few breaths.

He walked slowly to the tea table, and the emperor's sister Ning Chuchu who was sitting at the table showed a doting smile.

"How come I have time to come today?"

Ning Chuchu looked at the emperor's eyes with a little worried, "You... Since Prime Minister Ji is dealing with this matter in the court, I still think you should have more activities. If you don't help, just walk around the East Palace."

Ning Zhiyi sighed and sat opposite Ning Chuchu, "Actually, the memorials given to me by Prime Minister Ji are all trivial matters, big matters... but I, the prince, don't know about the major matters."

"However, some big things can happen from these small things. For example, the autumn harvest is coming soon this year, and the bandits reported from all over the country are half less than last year."

"This shows that the autumn grain this year should have a bumper harvest overall. As for how much it can enter the Ministry of Revenue in the end, it will show how big their appetite is!"

"Cook a pot of tea..."

"In addition, for example, the old master Wei Xuanmo from Yue who reported to the country of Yue a few days ago, he led the students of Yue to Ningguo. The document stated that the cultural exchanges between the two countries were written, but my law was a little unfair to this.

Same."

Ning Chuchu was cooking tea, and then raised her eyes to Ning Zhiyi, "What's the difference?"

"I think... First, Wei Xuanmo is the imperial teacher of Yue Kingdom. He is not only the current emperor of Yue Kingdom, but also the teacher of the prince of Yue Kingdom in the current dynasty!"

"Didn't your Lijingsi send some news back from Yue Kingdom two years ago? Wei Xuanmo was highly valued by the Emperor of Yue Kingdom. Emperor Yue Zhao Yunzhi knew people and was a talented emperor."

"I thought Wei Xuanmo came to Ningguo here and attended the literary meeting was fake, and it was true to explore the virtual and real things of Ningguo!"

Ning Chuchu was shocked. In the more than 300 years of history of Ningguo, he had always had a good relationship with Yue Kingdom in the east, and never had a war.

The prince’s brother said this, could Yue Kingdom also be peeping at Ning Kingdom?

Now Ning Kingdom has adopted the most inferior and personal means to quell the rebellion of the Great Wilderness Kingdom in the northern desert, because the Western Ye Kingdom in the Western Regions is preparing to look at it.

If Xiye Kingdom advances east again, Yue Kingdom will raise troops to come west at this time...

"So the father came back to meet Wei Xuanmo?"

Ning Zhiyi nodded, "It should be so. After all, Wei Xuanmo spent a year in Kyoto and worked as a teacher at Tai Academy."

"But one time and another!"

"This is the second reason why I guess Wei Xuanmo came to Ningguo."

Ning Chuchu held the teapot in her hand and asked, "What else?"

"That incident in Zhaohua in the third year!"

The teapot in Ning Chuchu's hand fell to the ground with a "clang" and broke into pieces.

In the third year of Zhaohua, the emperor issued an order to kill the general of the auxiliary country and waited for Lu Zhanxiao to stay in the car for the whole family.

Lu Zhanxiao's mother is the real aunt of the current emperor of Yue Kingdom!

Of course, Lu Zhanxiao's mother had passed away in the third year of Zhaohua, so after this incident, the news from Yue Kingdom was that Emperor Yue Zhao Yunzhi had only been pondering for a day behind closed doors.

Now twenty years have passed, and in these twenty years, the country between Yue and Ning countries is still the same as before, and it seems that they have not been affected by this incident at all.

The incident in Zhaohua three years has become a dusty past, and there are other things that have been dusty—

First, Lu Zhanxiao's sister Empress Lu Qiushuang gave birth to a son in the autumn of the third year of Zhaohua. He should have been the most legitimate prince of Ningguo!

But he disappeared at the full moon!

It was a winter, and it was snowing heavily in Kyoto.

Ningguo Empress Lu Qiushuang committed suicide by hanging herself in grief due to her son's disappearance!

At that time, the prince's brother was born. In the fifth year of Zhaohua, the father made his brother the prince and his mother the queen.

Secondly, the woman the father’s true beloved woman was still Empress Lu, so the father never liked the prince’s brother until his mother died of dying from childbirth. She said sincere words to the father at the time of death.

The father is a little nicer to the prince and brother.

It's just a little bit, too.

He still didn't like the prince's brother, but he did not depose the prince's brother's position in the East Palace.

A more serious consequence is that since the fifth year of Zhaohua, the father began to be obsessed with asking about the Tao for immortality and gradually alienated the state affairs. In the seventh year of Zhaohua, the Changle Palace began to be built.

At this point, Ning Guo's power fell and was almost controlled by Prime Minister Ji.

Ningguo's national strength was also declining due to the huge expenses of Changle Palace.

Of course, Ning Chuchu did not participate in these past stories, and she was not born at that time.

But Li Jingsi has records that she has passed the past in detail.

At this moment, the prince's brother suddenly mentioned the incident in Zhaohua for three years. She suddenly lost her composure and even burned her calf regardless of the hot tea splashed out.

"You mean... Yue Guo is going to settle the score after the autumn?"

Ning Zhiyi pondered for a moment and shook his head, "It's just my guess, I hope my guess is wrong."

"By the way, you come to me, what's wrong?"

Ning Zhiyi changed the subject, but Ning Chuchu was still thinking about the third year of Zhaohua.

"If he were alive, he would be twenty years old."

"A man appeared in Li Jingsi's secret file. His name was Wen Zhuoyu, but it only appeared three times."

"Once, after Lu Zhanxiao's whole family was destroyed in the third year of Zhaohua, the then Grand Tutor Li Chunfu took him to the palace once and met Empress Lu once!"

"The second time was when he left Kyoto in the spring of the fourth year of Zhaohua, went to Guangling City, and built the Rain-boiling Building."

"The last time was the autumn of the tenth year of Zhaohua, and the tragedy of Xiaozhu, the family killing of the Zhuyu Xiaozhu... This is something that Yulong can do, Ji Tai must know something!"

"But in Li Jingsi's secret file, it was not written whether Wen Zhuoyu was dead or alive... I think this person may have a lot to do with the disappearance of Queen Lu's son!"

Ning Zhiyi was stunned, and the two sparse brows frowned, "Since Wen Zhuoyu was taken to the palace by Li Chunfu, then the Li family..."

Ning Chuchu suddenly stood up, "Yes, Li family! There must be clues to the Li family!"

"Don't worry, Ji Tai has not done anything to the Li family over the years. I think Li Chunfu has left no trace even if he really knows it!"

"By the way, Li Chen'an from the third wife of the Li family has arrived in Kyoto. This kid is very good. He is deeply touched by his brother when he said at the South Gate."

"Didn't you say that you appointed him as the embroidered clothing envoy in Guanglingzhou, Lijingsi? When will you take him into the palace? I really want to see him."

Ning Chuchu's face turned slightly red, "But I went to dress up as a man at that time."

"What's the matter? He doesn't know your name. Just say you are your sister?"

This was a bit confusing, and Ning Chuchu understood it.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, I'll go out of the palace to see him!"

Ning Zhiyi smiled meaningfully, "Are you worried about the will of your father?"

Ning Chuchu pursed her lips, "This must be the vicious idea of ​​Concubine Ji!"

"It's not easy for him to pass this level... I'll be cooler later. I'll go to the little black building for my brother to meet Mr. Changsun."

"Thank you, Brother!"

"You...you have to pay attention to your identity!"

Ning Chuchu's face turned red again, and her words were a little sad: "I know, so I really envy Zhongli Ruoshui."

But she didn't know that Zhongli Ruoshui was like a crazy tigress!

Zhongli Ruoshui went to the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion and found out that his grandmother had not asked her to go there.

At that moment, her heart was colder than the ice that fell on the ground!

She knew that her mother was deliberately sending her away.

So what would my mother do to Li Chenan?
