47. Blind Mind 2

"After the imperial edict was issued, the city of Xiliang was captured by Ming Dan. My grandfather died on the border, and there were dozens of other people involved." Concubine Cheng said.

"How could this happen?" Ning Jia asked in shock, "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, not to mention the current enemy. How could the emperor issue such an order?"

"We women know very little about the affairs of the previous dynasty." Concubine Cheng sat beside Ning Jia, thoughtfully, but said no more.

"Then Concubine Ye..." Ning Jia said again.

"Concubine Ye's father was General Huaihua at that time. Her mother died when she was born. Her father never remarried and only lived with her father and daughter. Their love was deep. The battle more than 20 years ago was also

After being implicated, she died in a foreign land." Concubine Cheng said, "Concubine Ye has always resented your grandfather's failure in leading the army, which resulted in the death of his father and his death in a foreign country. That's why I did that to you."

"So that's it." Ning Jia said.

"Now that you have grown up, you should know these things." Concubine Cheng took her over and said softly, "Ningyang has been influenced by her mother since she was a child, so you should let her go."

Ning Jia did not answer, but hesitated for a moment, then looked at Concubine Cheng and said, "Mom, don't you hate Grandpa Huang?"

Cheng Fei did not answer.

"Mom, Grandpa Huang, is he..."

"No." Concubine Cheng said, her voice not loud and trembling slightly.

"Ning Jia," Concubine Cheng straightened Ning Jia's shoulders and looked into her eyes and said, "Everything your grandpa has done is for the Huanyue Kingdom and the people of the Huanyue Kingdom. Do you understand?"

Ning Jia also looked at her, wondering why she was suddenly so serious, but it seemed that she had indeed asked something she shouldn't have asked.

"I understand..." Ning Jia said softly.

"That's good..." Concubine Cheng's face softened again and she said to Ning Jia.

"I understand my mother's feelings towards Concubine Ye, but," Ning Jia wanted to say more, "Since I was a child, I have always given way to my second sister and not embarrassed my mother. So this time, can I...

"

"Ning Jia," Concubine Cheng said solemnly again, "The marriage of a princess is an important matter for the country. Your father has made his own decision. You cannot be so willful."

Ning Jia lowered her head slightly and said, "Yes..."

After Concubine Cheng left, Ning Jia sat at the piano table and gently plucked the strings.

However, the music was so messed up that one could barely tell that the song she was playing was "Lin Yuan San".

"You can't play this piece now." Yu'er walked out from the bottom of the couch, jumped on the couch and lay down, and said lazily to Ning Jia.

Ning Jia's fingers did not stop, but she played even more hurriedly, but not a single note was hit correctly.

"What's the use of just competing with this piano here? It's really important to think of a solution quickly." Yu'er yawned widely and curled her head up in a circle formed by her four legs and snow-white tail.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and big tears slipped from Ning Jia's eyes. She lay on the piano and cried loudly.

"Third Princess!" Fangqi and Fangrong hurriedly came in to take a look.

"Third Princess, what's wrong?" Fang Qi asked, "Concubine Cheng, what did she say? Why are you crying like this?"

"That's right," Fangrong said anxiously, "What on earth is going on?"

Ning Jia didn't answer, she just kept crying.

"Fang Rong, go get a basin of hot water." Fang Qi said to Fan Rong.

"Okay." Fangrong responded and went out to fetch water.

"Third Princess," Fang Qi said softly to Ning Jia, "stop crying, there will always be a way."

"A way? Is there any other way?" Ning Jia cried.

"What did Concubine Cheng say?" Fangqi asked.

"Mother, she asked me to marry the third son of Prime Minister Xiao's family." After Ning Jia said this, she burst into tears again.

"Ah?" Fangqi was also surprised after hearing this, "How could..."

After a pause, he asked Ningjia, "Didn't the Third Princess tell Concubine Cheng?"

"Mom, she knows everything..." Ning Jia cried.

"This..." Fangqi had no idea after hearing this.

I still want to persuade you, but I don’t know how to say it.

Fang Rong has already brought water in.

"Third Princess, wash your face." Fang Rong said.

Ning Jiawu couldn't stop crying.

"Why don't you go find Colonel Chi and let him think about what you can do." Fang Rong said.

After hearing this, Ning Jia stopped crying and looked up at Fang Rong.

"This is a solution, but how can we meet?" Fang Qi said from the side.

Asked here, Fang Rong was also in trouble.

"I've been paying attention these past few days. If there is a chance, I will always let you meet." Fang Qi said.

"Is this possible?" Ning Jia hesitated.

"You have to give it a try." Fang Rong said.

Ning Jia nodded slightly.

Yu'er fell asleep lying on the couch, occasionally wagging her tail gently.

On this day, Ning Jia talked less than usual and did not think about eating.

Fangqi persuaded her a few times and reluctantly took a few sips of soup.

In the evening, Ning Jia went to bed early.

Lying on the couch, he tossed and turned and didn't sleep for a long time.

Listen outside, it's already the third watch of the drum.

Yu'er jumped down from the bed, transformed into a human form, patted her shoulder and said, "Get up if you can't sleep."

Ning Jia then sat up and said, "Why don't you sleep?"

"Take you somewhere." Yu'er said.

"Where to go?" Ning Jia said.

Yu'er took her hand, turned around the Begonia screen, and opened the big red pear door.

"It's so late, you can't wander around in the palace." Ning Jia took a step back.

"Wandering around is not allowed in the palace, so why don't we go for a walk outside the palace." Yu'er said with a smile.

"What? Outside the palace?" Ning Jia said with wide eyes.

Yu'er suddenly picked her up, jumped up on the wall, and rushed out of the palace.

She left very quickly and saw a blue shadow passing by, already outside the palace.

"Where are you going?" Ning Jia held in her breath before letting it go and asked with a breath.

"You'll know when you get there." Yu'er smiled.

Without stopping, he walked all the way out of Jingyue City and into the forest outside the city.

After walking for a while, I finally put Ning Jia down.

Yu'er looked around and saw no one, so she said to Ning Jia: "You're a little early, just wait here for a while."

The night was as dark as ink, and only the shadows of trees could be seen in the forest, with the occasional sound of birds flying.

Ning Jia grabbed Yu'er's arm and said tremblingly: "Where is this?"

"The woods." Yu'er said.

"There's no one here. Let's go back." She was scared and couldn't speak fluently.

"Go back? Don't regret it." Yu'er smiled at her and pointed forward, "Look, it's coming."

Suddenly two black figures appeared in the forest, walking towards where they were.

"Yes, someone is coming..." Ning Jia tightened her arms on Yu'er and hid behind her.

Yu'er clapped her hand, smiled at the two people walking towards her, and said, "You're late."

"This guy didn't want to come with me. It took a lot of effort." One person shook his head and laughed.

The two of them came closer and gradually saw their appearance clearly.

One has a dark complexion, long eyebrows and thin lips, with a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.

A man in a water-embroidered ocher robe, rich and handsome, with a bit of purple on his face, froze when he saw Yu'er and Ning Jia, staring at the two of them.
