Empress Fenghua

Chapter 144 The Ning Clan

There is a kind of going through the vicissitudes of life through the years, there is a kind of looking into the distance called looking at each other with tears, there is a kind of pursuit called shallow meditation, and there is a kind of beauty called time flowing.

Hua Zhong sat on the rickety carriage and moved forward. The baby in his arms stayed in the swaddle like a sensible person, but looked at the melancholy Hua Zhong with dripping bright eyes. Clear, like a bunch of black and purple grapes.

Hua Zhong couldn't help feeling sorry, and asked melancholy, "Do you know what you're going to face next?"

The child giggled after hearing Hua Zhong's words, and stretched out his hands to rub Hua Zhong's cheeks.

Hua Zhong smiled slightly, and held the child's hand in his palm, as white and tender as a lotus root.Hua Chong glanced at it, but saw a blue birthmark on the child's white and tender chest, like a blooming iris.Hua Zhong suddenly thought of the kite and green fragrance that Caiwei had when she was pregnant with this child, and her heart skipped a beat.

Hua Zhong looked into the child's eyes as bright as purple grapes, "The Ning clan has three generations of Zhongliang, I'm afraid it will be ruined today, and I also hate the Ning family to the bone. So my sister doesn't want your surname to be Ning, okay?"

The child groaned and widened his eyes, as if agreeing with Hua Zhong's idea.

Hua Zhong thought for a moment, "Your mother's surname is Liang, and the blue birthmark on your body looks like an iris. You were disturbed by the fragrance of the iris when you were still in the womb. My sister named you Yuanqing, okay?"

Hua Zhong looked at the child solemnly, "Liang Yuanqing!"

Qinzheng Hall.

Ye Congjia closed her eyes and sat on the dragon chair waiting for Huazhong's arrival, while Gu Shuangcheng was holding a cup of tea, tasting it by herself.

Hua Zhong carried Liang Yuanqing into Qinzheng Hall, the hall was cold, Yuanqing shrank under the quilt, only showing her small head.Hua Zhong's heart was blank, he didn't know what he would do if Ye Congjia really left Yuanqing in the palace!
Hua Zhong looked at Ye Congjia's tightly closed eyes, and Gu Shuangcheng smiled disdainfully.

Hua Zhong squatted down slightly to salute, "Ning Family Hua Zhong, I have met the Emperor and Empress!"

Ye Congjia opened his eyes, "The Ning family has a lot of flowers? That's fine! Anyway, you won't be the head of Gaoyi County soon!" Ye Congjia's eyes fell on the pink swaddle, "This is the new child of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ? Is it male or female?"

"Yes!" Hua Zhong replied indifferently, "It's a boy!"

A gleam of light flashed in Ye Congjia's eyes, with a hint of coldness, and he was silent for a while, "Did you choose a name?"

Hua nodded emphatically, "His biological mother has passed away, and Prime Minister Ning didn't seem to have any intention of naming him, so I decided to name him Yuanqing on my own, following his mother's surname Liang!"

"Liang Yuanqing?" Ye Congjia frowned as if with a trace of concern, she lowered her eyes to cover all her emotions, "It looks like a girl's name! Hold it here and show me!"

Hua Zhong frowned, his heart beating, and he walked up the steps step by step, but Yuanqing in his arms seemed to be very playful, babbling, making a crisp milk sound.

Ye Congjia took Liang Yuanqing in an awkward but careful hug. Yuanqing's obsidian-like eyes blinked and blinked curiously at Ye Congjia, very quiet.Ye Congjia stretched out her fingers to touch Yuanqing's delicate face, but she didn't expect Yuanqing's hearty smile to break the dignified anger of Qinzheng Palace.

Ye Congjia's eyes were slightly soft, and then he snorted coldly, "Since you are not a descendant of the Ning family, you should stay in the palace!"

"Your Majesty!" Hua Zheng turned pale in shock, and looked at Ye Congjia angrily, but he didn't expect him to say this sentence so simply, it was frightening and sudden.

Gu Shuangcheng's face turned cold, "What? County Lord Gaoyi is not willing? This is a great honor! Fortunately, this child's surname is Liang, otherwise I don't know if he is in this world at this moment!"

Hua Zhong suddenly looked back at Gu Shuangcheng, feeling a strong uneasiness in his heart, his voice trembling, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Shuangcheng put down the teacup and looked at Hua Zhong proudly, "Prime Minister Ning Xinian secretly colluded with foreign enemies, fostered self-respect, arbitrarily incited the court to appoint officials, and disrupted the government. All these crimes are unforgivable. All men in the Ning Mansion and other men will be beheaded." , the woman will serve as an official slave, and the rest will be exiled!" Gu Shuangcheng looked at Hua Zhong with raised eyebrows, "Presumably the Ning Mansion has been confiscated and sent to prison right now?"

Hua Chong frowned tightly, looked at Gu Shuangcheng in disbelief, and clenched his fists tightly, "Collaborate with foreign enemies, raise the bandits' self-respect? Where did you get the evidence? My three generations of the Ning clan have been loyal and loyal, and they have made a solid foundation for the Ye clan in Chengguo." What a great contribution! You were ruined overnight? Aren’t you afraid that people in the world will say that your majesty is killing donkeys and tearing down bridges when crossing rivers?”

Ye Congjia looked at Hua Zhong with a cold face, "Ning Xinian's fault is that he should not have been present when the late emperor died!" Ye Congjia took out a letter, "I have intercepted him and passed it to Xicheng Yongjia The letter from the king clearly stated that he said that the late emperor wanted to pass on the great position, but Emperor Cong Jia made troubles, so he lost his plan! Shouldn't I have killed him?"

Hua Zhong was shocked, and looked at the letter with a cold face. The envelope was indeed Ning Xinian's notes, but Ning Xinian had always protected Ye Congjia, so how could he be involved with Ye Yongjia?If there is, Yongjia will not tell himself.Hua Zhong thought of this, and sneered, "Is the emperor afraid that something will happen to the east window?"

Ye Congjia was taken aback for a moment, and the murderous aura enveloped his whole body, "What happened to Dongchuang?"

"You and I are well aware of the changes in Qinzheng!" Hua Chong said angrily, "Ning Xinian and King Changji were both present at the time, and now there are rumors among the people that your majesty's title to the throne is not right, and your majesty is afraid of Ning Xi. Nian to come out and tell the truth?" Hua Zhong sneered, "Then it should be my turn next? It is rumored among the people that the imperial decree was in the hands of Ning Huazhong, the head of Gaoyi County! What's more, I am Naining How can you tolerate me?"

Gu Shuangcheng smiled contemptuously, "Chong'er is right, originally you and this child were going to go together. It's just that the emperor is kind, since the late emperor has made you the county head and inherited Ye's blood, naturally you are no longer a member of the Ning family. , not to mention that you will soon be the Crown Princess of the Ling Kingdom, who will let you go into exile together?"

Hua Zhong looked at Ye Congjia solemnly, "Do you also admit that I am a descendant of Ye's family? Do you also want me to go to the Ling Kingdom to get married?"

Ye Congjia clenched her fists and lowered her head, "As long as you are willing to obediently go to the Kingdom of Ling to get married, I promise that I will not hurt you and this child at all! I will allow you to take this little thing with you to the Kingdom of Ling!"

The army of the Ling Kingdom is pressing down on the border, Xicheng Yongjia is staring at it, and the oriole of the Dingguo is behind. If rumors spread among the people, Ye Congjia's throne may not be guaranteed.No wonder, if it wasn't for this, I'm afraid Hua Zhong wouldn't be easily let go.It seems that Ye Congjia wants to seek Xiliang Wuyan's help!

Hua Zhong snorted coldly, "I don't know where to use the general to send my concubine to live in peace!"

In the dark and damp dungeon, there is always a rotten atmosphere, with a strong smell of death.Hua Zhong walked into the dungeon dressed in plain clothes. In a relatively clean cell, Ning Xinian was writing a book before the case. Under the dim light, Hua Zhong felt that he didn't know when it started. Ning Xinian Already old!

Ning Xinian tilted his head slightly, and saw Hua Zhong from the corner of his eye, but he didn't look up after all, "You're here? The emperor will probably let you go and send you to the Kingdom of Ling to get married, right?"

Hua Zhong's heart moved, and he nodded silently, "The emperor specifically allowed me to take Yuanqing to the Ling Kingdom!"

"Yuanqing?" Ning Xinian was a little puzzled, and then nodded, "It's that child! That's good, my Ning family has not lost its incense."

Hua Zhong didn't say a word about Ning Xinian's indifference, maybe he was such a person, he didn't care about any of Ning's children!

The corner of Hua Zhong's mouth curled up into a mocking smile, but his heart felt a little sad, "Master Xiang is wrong, his surname is Liang, not Ning!"

The pen in Ning Xinian's hand paused, leaving a thick ink mark on the paper, "Liang? Liang Yuanqing?" After a while, Ning Xinian sneered, "That's good! As long as there is someone alive at the gate of the Ning family, they will Enough!"

"I just want to ask you a question, do you regret taking my mother back then?" Hua Zhong lowered his eyes, waiting for Ning Xinian's answer in his heart.Hua Zhong knew that she was not his biological daughter, although she was treated harshly by the Ning Mansion for many years, it was the Ning Mansion who raised her after all.But he himself sent the Ning Mansion to hell with his own hands!

Ning Xinian grinned and shook his head, "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, the birds die, and the good bow hides! This is an eternal truth in the world, how can the old man not understand? Conspiring against the enemy? Heh! The crime of wanting to commit crimes Why is there no excuse? The old man will not blame you, let alone you are her daughter."

Hua Zhong clenched his fists, "What is the relationship between you and my mother? What is her real identity?" Hua Zhong couldn't understand why Feng Qinyan was pregnant, but she was still living under the fence, and more importantly, she took up Ning Xinian has been the first wife for many years, but Ning Xinian is willing?If it's pure love, why don't you love the house and the black, but treat yourself harshly?Unless his father is Ning Xinian's enemy!

Ning Xinian was busy writing, and said to Hua Zhong meaningfully, "Your mother is a good person, but you also know that I am not your biological father, and I took your mother in to give birth to you just to repay your mother's favor. But it was indeed me who harmed her. If I hadn't pampered Qinyun again and again, perhaps your mother would not have given birth to you and died! Your mother is amazingly talented, and everyone knows that there are countless men who admire her. I don't know."

Ning Xinian put down his pen, folded the letter paper neatly, and said indifferently, "You asked the wrong person!"

A sneer curled up at the corner of Hua Zhong's mouth, "Even in the end, you don't want to look at me, right? That's why I never regard you as my father. You and I are clear!"

Ning Xinian smiled and shook his head, "You used to live in the Ning Mansion, and now you are a descendant of the Ye family. You have nothing to do with this old man. County lord, you have to remember clearly, Ning Xinian is Ning Xinian, Gao Yi is Gao Yi Yi, Liang Yuanqing is Liang Yuanqing. Ning Xinian is a traitor, Gao Yi is the county magistrate of Chengguo, Liang Yuanqing is an orphan in troubled times, three irrelevant people, that's all!"

Hua Zhong nodded slowly, he never expected that in the end Ning Xinian would still have the awareness to let those who stay out of the matter get rid of this vortex forever.Or maybe people's words are good when they are about to die...

"But is there any wish left?" Hua Zhong actually sighed in his heart, even though Ning Xinian was ruthless, he couldn't be ruthless, so he came by himself to see him off for the last time!
Ning Xinian finally looked at Hua Zhong, handed the folded letterhead to Hua Zhong, "Give this letter to Liu Chen! He escaped!"

Hua Zhong took the letter paper like a thousand catties, and escaped?Hua Chong frowned, but Ning Xinian turned around and sat facing the skylight. The ray of sunlight shone on Ning Xinian's body, and his back was so old that it made people feel chilling...

"Looking quietly at the flowers blooming and fading in the depths of time, despite the vicissitudes of life, there will still be a ray of sunshine as warm as before! Okay, okay..." Ning Xinian's voice was slightly hoarse, as if he was choking, but the words behind were heavy Not hearing anymore, Hua Zhong closed his eyes to calm down, and walked out of the dungeon.

The bright sun shone on Hua Zhong's face, but Hua Zhong felt dizzy and glaring, like the cold winter.Slowly opening her eyes, what she saw was Huayan's delicate and sad face...
