Chapter 19

The young man's face was like a crown of jade, although his eyebrows were slightly soft, his eyes were extremely deep and heroic.

Wearing Chinese clothes, with pearls on the feet and gold and jade on the waist.

He is Zhao Ning, Prince Li.

Zhao Ning raised his head: "You said that Ying Wuji wrote two poems in the bamboo garden, but do you still remember the content?"

The man in black hurriedly took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and presented them: "This is transcribed by Fei Yuwei. The handwriting is a bit scribbled. I haven't transcribed it yet. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"Forgive your innocence!"

Zhao Ning took the paper and found that although the handwriting was scribbled, he could distinguish it clearly, so he put it aside, and then looked at the man in black: "Continue to protect secretly! Ying Wuji lives one more day, and you will be prosperous one day, If Ying Wuji is dead, come and see him!"

"Yes!"

The man in black nodded, and quickly left Qingjiang Hall, hiding in the darkness.

Only then did Zhao Ning open the paper and read the content carefully. After reading the first poem, he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Luo Xiang's daughter's piano skills are really superb, and Ying Wuji said, 'This song should only exist in the sky,'" It’s rare to hear it a few times in the world’. It’s a wonderful sentence, but it’s a pity that it hides evil intentions and loses its elegance.”

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman's voice sounded behind him: "I thought that he would give up on himself after becoming an outcast of the Qian Kingdom, but he never wanted to become so arrogant and domineering. I'm afraid it will be unstable after the friendship between Qian and Li."

Hearing this voice, Zhao Ning stood up and bowed respectfully: "Mother!"

This woman is Queen Li. Although she is over fifty years old, she still has black hair. Although there are traces of time on her face, it can be vaguely seen that she must have been a first-class beauty when she was young.

The queen picked up the paper from the table, glanced at it, and said, "He does have a bit of poetic talent, but this person's behavior is perverted, so he should be beaten a bit."

Zhao Ning said with a slight smile: "My mother, but my son thinks otherwise!"

The queen raised her eyelids: "Oh?"

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "Although Ying Wuji's actions are vicious, they are well-founded. Although he is covered with thorns, he has no fangs. According to Erchen, this man is very clear-headed, and he did this just for self-protection." That's all, after today's work is over, no one in Jiangcheng will take the initiative to trouble him."

The queen looked at him, and couldn't help showing a smile on her face: "You have been in charge of the country for three years, and you have made a lot of progress. It is not in vain that your father and king value you so much. You can't be too conniving, this matter is up to you!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ning nodded.

The queen asked again: "In your opinion, who did this?"

Zhao Ning thought for a moment: "If this matter gets serious, Luo Xiang will be deeply involved no matter what. It doesn't seem like he did it. Even if Luo Xiang is planning for the black under the lamp, the price is too heavy, so it should not be him."

The queen's expression was a little dignified: "Above the court, the prime minister is the only one who advocates the theory of doing harm. If it weren't for him, it would only be some big family who had evil intentions."

Zhao Ning sighed lightly: "Although Dali is prosperous, the Qing family is too powerful. These people have their own ulterior motives and will do anything for the benefit of the family. The ancestor Wen Gong really left us a problem!"

This is also a serious illness that Dali has accumulated for thousands of years.

The feudal lords stood side by side for 500 years, and the Li State ruled for more than half of the time. Especially in the past few hundred years, the monarchs of the Li State divided and rallied in the national wars, especially after the rise of the Qian State of the same clan and the same origin, there were few people on the border of the Li State. With the flames of war, the internal economy and culture ushered in unprecedented prosperity.

In terms of territorial military strength, the Li country may not be the strongest, but in terms of overall national strength, only Qi and Chu, two old powerful countries, can barely hold a candle to it.

But it is such a Li country, the internal disease is already extremely serious.

Since Duke Li Wen set up the Six Ministers, these six families have continued to grow, not only have their own fiefdoms, but also control most of the court.They fight each other and do whatever they can for the benefit of the clan.

If the Li kings of all dynasties did not take the art of checks and balances as a compulsory course, I am afraid that the Li country would have collapsed long ago.

This time Gu killed Ying Wuji, it must have been done by one of the six families, but who really wanted the gangsters to turn against each other so much?Perhaps only by catching the huqin musician can it be possible to follow the clues to find the forces behind it.

The queen shook her head: "The grand meeting of hundreds of families will begin soon, and all families regard Jiangcheng as a sacred place of learning. Don't be stingy when organizing the event, so as not to damage the face of the royal family of Dali. Are the gold and silver ready?"

Zhao Ning nodded: "It's ready, but this year there is a drought in the northern region, there will be a shortage of food and clothing in winter, and the six fiefdoms will not be able to collect taxes. I'm afraid... I am ashamed, I will think of a way when the time comes."

The queen didn't blame, but sighed: "Your father was forced to retreat and put this mess on you. It is very rare to be able to deal with it like this!"

She stroked Zhao Ning's delicate and heroic face: "The country has been in danger for fifteen years, and the girl has not been dressed in red. Ning'er, you have worked hard!"

Zhao Ning smiled slightly: "This is what a minister should do."

The queen's eyes were slightly red, and she patted Zhao Ning's shoulder: "Take a good rest, I'm going back to the palace."

Zhao Ning bowed solemnly: "Respectfully send off the empress mother!"

After the queen's chariot left, the Qingjiang Hall became deserted again.

Zhao Ning opened the memorial and saw the huge expenditure of the Wenhui, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.

After rubbing his head, he threw the notebook aside and picked up the paper that the man in black handed over just now.

"'Rarely heard in the world' has never seen Luo Xiang's daughter. I think the second song should be more subtle."

"When the swallows go, the red beans are all over the branches, don't ask people who travel far away..."

Zhao Ning's face was a little weird, she didn't know why Ying Wuji chose such a low-quality work, but she couldn't help smiling when she saw the back: "Killing people! This Ying Wuji is really a wonderful person, but it's a pity that he was raped." The country has become an abandoned son, I am afraid I can only live a mediocre life!"

……

In the south of Jiangcheng, there are deep alleys and pavilions.

Hua Chaozheng was holding the music score in a daze, and the scenes of the words and sentences on the paper were constantly merging with her memory, making that poor and sad woman lingering in her mind.

The more vivid the picture, the redder her eye sockets became.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Hua Chao was startled: "Who?"

Luo Ming's voice came from outside the door: "Sister, it's me!"

Hua Chao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and got up to open the door.

She didn't disappear behind closed doors, but she didn't give Luo Ming a good face either: "What are you doing here?"

Luo Ming glanced at the thin line of blood on her neck, shook the medicine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "I'll deliver the medicine to my sister, you are the most beautiful in Jiangcheng, if there is a scar on her neck, I'm afraid it will be Jiangcheng's scar." Countless talents will be heartbroken!"

Hua Chao was unmoved: "I have the medicine, let's go back!"

After all, he immediately closed the door.

"do not!"

Luo Ming quickly blocked the crack of the door with his hand, and screamed in pain when he was pinched.

Hua Chao couldn't bear it, opened the door again, and asked calmly, "Tell me! What exactly do you want to do?"

Luo Ming sighed: "Father asked me to take you home."
