child time.
Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian sat facing each other at the chief helm of Longwei located in the Daning Imperial Palace.
"Don't worry, Mr. Bai, this matter concerns the great cause of my Daning, and I will never break my promise."
Ning Yongnian looked at Bai Youheng, and said calmly, "I hope you do the same."
"It's natural."
Bai Youheng nodded, and put a secret letter on the table into his arms: "Your Majesty, do you have anything else you want me to bring to Your Highness the Empress?"
"No more, show her the letter, and she will know what to do."
"it is good."
"..."
Bring Words to the Queen...
Ning Yongnian and his wife stayed together all day, so how could it be possible for Bai Youheng to be in the middle with words and letters.
Therefore, there is only one explanation——
The queen they talked about was not Daning's queen.
"Your Majesty, since everything is ready, I will set off now."
Standing up, Bai Youheng said in a deep voice, "I'll see you in Yuanzhou City in a month's time."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Ning Yongnian also got up and walked out of the dark room with Bai Youheng.
Outside the house, a whole hundred dragon guards had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the two coming out, they immediately fell to their knees in unison.
"This subordinate has met the emperor! I have met Mr. Bai!"
"Get up."
Ning Yongnian raised his hands and said slowly: "From now on, you all must obey any orders from Mr. Bai, no matter what it is."
"Do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands!"
"Ah."
Nodding his head, Ning Yongnian didn't speak any more, neither did Bai Youheng.
The latter just slightly arched his hands at Ning Yongnian, then took a step forward and walked into the night without looking back.
"Wow!"
Clothed in black, a hundred dragon guards followed closely behind him without saying a word, like a sharp sword that slashed and disappeared completely from Ning Yongnian's sight after a few breaths of effort.
"emperor."
The figure swayed, and Li Huaizhong, who appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appeared beside Ning Yongnian.
"Old Li, what's the matter?"
Ning Yongnian did not go to see Li Huaizhong, but still looked in the direction where Bai Youheng and the others left.
"Is there any news from Feng Yuan?"
"Go back to the emperor, not yet."
Li Huaizhong shook his head, bent down and whispered in Ning Yongnian's ear:
"It's the dragonfinch that's back."
Chapter 333 What do you want me to do?
After several months, when Ning Yongnian saw You Jia again, he only felt that the latter seemed to be the same as before, but not the same anymore.
In November last year, he ordered Youjia to go to Shuzhou alone, to get close to and gain Wei Changtian's trust.
After that, he used Youjia as a bait to make a deal with the evil monk Jingyuan, in an attempt to cause conflicts between the Wei family and the Buddhist sect.
However, Wei Changtian's trick of "indulging in lust" at that time made the whole plan come to nothing, and Youjia was also rescued by Wei Changtian.
In the next few months, Ning Yongnian never activated Yujia again, until the killing order half a month ago...
And the result was just as what Li Huaizhong was "worried" at that time, You Jia failed to kill Wei Changtian.
Ning Yongnian didn't doubt whether all of this was true, because he was very clear in his heart about You Jia's affection for him.
In other words, he didn't believe in that dragon sparrow who grew up in the dragon guard since he was a child, that little girl whose life was saved by himself, that Youjia who had done anything for him... One day you will betray yourself.
"When did you come back?"
Looking at the woman standing respectfully opposite, Ning Yongnian had a tender feeling on his face: "Let's take a good rest when you come back this time."
"emperor."
You Jia lowered her head and whispered, "This subordinate failed to kill Wei Changtian, so he is willing to suffer any punishment."
"It's not your fault, this son is different from ordinary people after all."
Ning Yongnian shook his head slightly: "It's best if you can get it, and it's not a fault if you don't get it."
"It's a blessing that you are fine now."
"..."
It's lucky that you're fine.
This is the first time Youjia heard Ning Yongnian say such words to herself.
She didn't know what the latter had experienced during her absence, and she didn't know whether this sentence was true or false.
If it had been placed a few months ago, Youjia would have been overjoyed.
But now Wei Changtian has occupied almost all of her heart, which made her instinctively resist this sentence.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness..."
His head was still buried very low, and his voice was still very soft.
You Jia took half a step back unconsciously, and Ning Yongnian also noticed something at this moment.
"Youjia..."
"Why don't you dare to look at me?"
"..."
The heart seemed to miss a beat, and it pulled the shoulders and trembled slightly.
In fact, on the way back to Daning, You Jia had already figured out what attitude she should have when facing Ning Yongnian.
But when she really saw the latter, all her preparations were suddenly useless.
"Emperor, Your Majesty..."
Struggling to raise his head, You Jia forced himself to look into Ning Yongnian's eyes.
At this moment, the eyes of the two finally met in the air, silently, but it caused a ripple again in Yujia's heart that should have been forgotten.
"The subordinate failed to complete the task, and he has no face to face the emperor."
Biting her lip, Yujia made an extremely lame excuse for herself.
And Ning Yongnian couldn't see anything strange in it.
"Youjia, is there anything you want to tell me?"
There was no harsh questioning, no secret probing, Ning Yongnian just said softly in the same soft tone: "No matter what it is, I will not blame you."
"Back to the emperor, no..." You Jia lowered her head again.
"Is it?"
Ning Yongnian paused for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions: "In that case, then go and rest, and we'll talk about the rest later."
"Yes."
As if being pardoned, Youjia immediately bowed and prepared to leave.
But just as she turned around and was only one step away from leaving the room, Ning Yongnian's voice suddenly sounded behind her again.
"By the way, since I promised to marry you before, I will definitely do what I say."
"I have ordered someone to watch the day. The first day of August is a good day, and I will..."
"..."
In a trance, the voice in my ear became smaller and smaller.
At this moment, You Jia could no longer hear what Ning Yongnian was saying, and only felt that her thoughts were blocked by extremely chaotic and complicated emotions.
Although Wei Changtian is almost all in her heart now, "almost" means not all of them.
how come......
No, it shouldn't be like this...
......
How Youjia left the main hall of Shiqu Pavilion in a daze in the end, I'm afraid even she herself doesn't know.
But Ning Yongnian had a panoramic view of everything.
When the figure of the former disappeared, the tenderness on his face gradually faded away.
The candlelights of several long-burning lamps around him were straight upwards, and Ning Yongnian looked at the little red light thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "Lao Li, do you think Longque really made a move?"
"emperor."
The candle flickered for a while, and Li Huaizhong appeared from behind the screen: "According to the information sent back by Feng Yuan's spies, Longque did indeed assassinate Wei Changtian."
"I didn't ask you what the information said."
Turning to look at Li Huaizhong, Ning Yongnian repeated: "I'm asking you what you think."
"This......"
Li Huaizhong pretended to be hesitant, and answered slowly after a long while: "Your Majesty, the old slave watched Longque grow up, so he will never commit treason."
"If that's the case, then she can't bear it?"
"It should be so."
Li Huaizhong borrowed the donkey from the slope, and echoed Ning Yongnian's guess: "No matter what, Wei Changtian saved Long Que's life, and the two have been together day and night for more than a few months. Under such circumstances, Long Que feels guilty. Now that I'm in a trance, it's okay to talk about the past."
"Ah."
Nodding his head, Ning Yongnian got up and paced back and forth in front of the table for a few times, then suddenly stopped and said, "Lao Li, you heard what I said to Long Que just now."
"Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to let them prepare."
"On the first day of August, I want to make Longque my concubine, titled... Zhen."
"..."
"Yes."
......
......
Five days later, June [-]th.
Fengyuan, Princess Mansion.
In the early morning, Wei Changtian and his party finally returned to Fengyuan City from the West Desert Gobi.
Although it didn't take much effort to find Lao Zhangtou this time, it still took more than ten days on the way back and forth.
But now, it was only three days before the people of Fengyuan City began to evacuate.
According to the previous plan formulated by the Dafeng court, if Wei Changtian fails to kill Yan Luo, then the people in Fengyuan City will start to evacuate on June 20th, and the whole process will last about [-] days to ensure the Ghost Festival on July [-]th. No one was left in the city that day.
Of course, the evacuation of the common people does not conflict with "killing Yama".
So for Wei Changtian, he still has at least one month.
