"The Empress Dowager Cisheng has arrived...The Emperor has arrived..."

Just as Yang Ning, Princess Yongning, and Wen Ziyan were carefully planning how to get Princess Yongning to follow Yang Ning out of the capital, Sun Hai's long and thin voice sounded in the courtyard outside the Nuan Pavilion. From the sound of the voice, he had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

Everyone was startled and hurriedly stood up to go out to greet them. However, Empress Dowager Li and Wan Li had already entered the Nuan Pavilion one after another. They arrived very quickly.

Princess Yongning, Wen Ziyan, and several eunuchs and maids such as Luo Xiang hurriedly paid homage. Empress Dowager Li said calmly: "Everyone, get up." She said, but her eyes looked at Yang Ning's right foot, which was wrapped with gauze. A hint of imperceptible sympathy flashed through his eyes.

"Yang Ning, what's wrong with your foot? Wasn't it fine when you were in Qianqing Palace just now?" Wanli walked straight to Yang Ning, looked at his injured foot and asked strangely.

Yang Ning smiled bitterly and said to Empress Dowager Li and Wanli: "I was walking a little too hastily. I accidentally mentioned it on a stone, and that's what happened. Please forgive me for not being able to salute the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

Empress Dowager Li frowned and said: "You are already injured like this. Why do you care about those false gifts? The Ai family heard from Sun Hai that your toe bones are broken. Why are you so careless..."

Empress Dowager Li's words sounded like blaming, but the hidden meaning was just because she felt sorry for Yang Ning. Wen Ziyan thought that Empress Dowager Li was really blaming Yang Ning. She hurriedly said: "I'd like to inform the Empress Dowager. Eunuch Yang's injury has already passed through Zi Yan It's nothing serious. Recovery is just a matter of time..."

Empress Dowager Li nodded. After thinking for a while, she looked at Yang Ning again and said, "Since such an accident has occurred, can you still go to the Tianshou Mountain Imperial Mausoleum for inspection and acceptance?"

Yang Ning could feel some kind of expectation in Queen Mother Li's eyes. It was the expectation that since she was injured, she would no longer have to go to Tianshou Mountain. But this time she used a discussion tone. She was no longer as careless as before. Considering my own feelings, I refused.

"Go back to the Queen Mother. This servant's injury is nothing. Since the decree has been issued, how can I not go?" Yang Ning replied.

There was a hint of disappointment in Empress Dowager Li's eyes. But she still nodded and said: "Eunuch Yang, regardless of his health, served the court loyally. The Ai family and the emperor are very pleased. It's a long way to Changping. You have to take good care of your injuries. "What Empress Dowager Li said was half-truth and half-false. By showing the Empress Dowager's caring side for her servants and subordinates, she actually told Yang Ning to take care of her injuries.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. But when it comes to taking care of the injury, I have a small request. I hope the Queen Mother and the Emperor can grant it..." Yang Ning took the opportunity to say. The idea of ​​​​wanting Wen Ziyan to accompany him will not be mentioned at this time. More When to wait.

"Speak." Queen Mother Li said smoothly without thinking too much.

"This slave's foot injury is quite serious this time. It was treated with the superb medical skills of Medical Officer Wen just now. It can be regarded as a preliminary treatment. However, in the later stage, follow-up diagnosis and treatment, dressing changes, etc. are needed. Therefore, I want to invite the Queen Mother With the Emperor's permission, Medical Officer Wen can travel with the slave to Changping this time..."

"Oh. So it's such a 'little request'..." Queen Mother Li raised her eyebrows and said.

Although Empress Dowager Li was still smiling at this time, Yang Ning could feel her cold eyes and knew that she was getting angry. To be honest, he had expected this. He hurriedly explained with prepared words. : "Actually, I can just find a doctor to follow me. But since the injury was treated by the medical officer from the beginning. Her medical skills are so good, I am afraid that it will not be good if I change someone halfway. Moreover, the green jade that I applied to the injured area is Xugu ointment is a unique secret made by Wen Medical Officer. The effect is also very miraculous. Therefore..."

"Okay. You don't need to explain. The Ai family is ready." Empress Dowager Li suddenly interrupted Yang Ning's explanation. She agreed in one sentence. Then she smiled at Wen Ziyan and said, "Zi Yan, you have worked hard this time." You took a trip."

Empress Dowager Li agreed so readily. Yang Ning was unable to react for a while. On the other hand, Wen Ziyan said calmly: "Please rest assured, Empress Dowager. Zi Yan will definitely take good care of Eunuch Yang's injury."

"Yes. I am very relieved that Eunuch Yang can have your personal care." Queen Mother Li glanced deeply at Yang Ning, as if she meant something. Yang Ning felt guilty at her glance and hurriedly lowered her head. look.

"Yongning. Speaking of which, I haven't been here with you for some time. How are you feeling recently? I heard that you fell ill again a few days ago." Queen Mother Li stopped talking to Yang Ning and instead took Princess Yongning aside. asked the hand.

Yang Ning was shocked when she heard this: Princess Yongning's health was much better than before. Why did she fall ill again? The key is that she didn't know it yet.

Princess Yongning forced a smile and said: "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Yongning is fine..."

Queen Mother Li sighed and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Yongning, Queen Mother knows that you have been heartbroken over your father's departure these days. However, people cannot be resurrected. You have to learn to be more open-minded. Otherwise, you will get better. His body was damaged."

Only then did Yang Ning know that it must have been Princess Yongning who had been sad about Long Qing's death and was filled with grief, which made her fall ill. It's no wonder. Long Qing loved Princess Yongning very much during his lifetime. Now that he is dead, how can he not let Princess Yongning This makes my daughter sad.

Hearing Empress Dowager Li mention Long Qing, Princess Yongning's eyes immediately filled with tears. Her expression was sad and her voice choked with sobs: "Ning'er just can't help it... I miss my father so much. My father is gone. Who will hurt me again... I'll hurt Ning'er." Well... Ning'er feels so lonely... so helpless... ugh..." As she spoke, Princess Yongning broke down in tears.

Queen Mother Li hurriedly held Princess Yongning in her arms and comforted her softly: "Silly boy, even though your father is gone, you still have two queen mothers and your emperor brother. Everyone will love you..." "

Wanli also walked up. He pulled Princess Yongning's sleeve and said with red eyes: "Sister Ning, don't be like this. Don't worry. With Jun'er here, I will never let anyone bully you in the future."

Seeing Princess Yongning weak and helpless, crying like a pear blossom with raindrops. Yang Ning couldn't help but feel deeply self-blame. Recently, he has paid too little attention to Princess Yongning. She is a weak girl. After so many years I endured the torture of loneliness in this cold and deep palace. Now I have to bear the pain of losing a loved one. The psychological pain and pressure are so great. Why didn't I care about her more?

Thinking of this, Yang Ning suddenly said: "The Queen Mother. This time I go to Tianshou Mountain. I have one more request. I beg the Queen Mother and the Emperor to grant your permission..."

Queen Mother Li looked at Yang Ning in surprise and said, "What else do you want to ask for?"

Glancing at the tearful Princess Yongning in Empress Dowager Li's arms, Yang Ning said with all her heart, "I dare you...I beg the Empress Dowager to allow the princess to disguise herself and follow my servant out of the capital to relax..."

"What." Queen Mother Li was surprised. Anger gradually appeared on her face. Wanli looked at Yang Ning in shock. It was obvious that he did not expect that Yang Ning would make such a request.

"Yang Ning, you... do you know what you are talking about? How noble is the princess? How can she leave the capital at will? If something goes wrong, you have enough heads to chop off." Queen Mother Li was really angry this time. . The voice was so cold that it gave people chills.

To be honest, Yang Ning was really uncomfortable with Empress Dowager Li speaking so harshly to him. If only the two of them were face to face, he would have been annoyed. But now in front of everyone, he can't do anything suspicious. .So he just explained in a low voice: "The Queen Mother, please calm down for the time being. The servant saw that the princess missed the late emperor and became ill. She was depressed all day long. If this continues, it will be very detrimental to the princess's health. Therefore, the servant wanted to take this opportunity to let the princess leave the palace for a while. .Go outside for a walk and relax. This will definitely help the princess’ health. Wasn’t the queen also worried about the princess’s health just now?”

Queen Mother Li's expression softened. She seemed to be considering what Yang Ning said. It had to be said that she had always been very fond of Princess Yongning. As soon as she heard that it was beneficial to Princess Yongning's health, she immediately became serious. .

Princess Yongning was upset and cried because of Queen Mother Li's worries. Yang Ning's "using the topic" was very natural. Queen Mother Li did not doubt whether they had planned it before. She just thought that Yang Ning suddenly came up with it when she saw Princess Yongning mourning and falling ill. idea.

Queen Mother Li pondered for a while, then asked Princess Yongning: "Ning'er, what do you mean?"

Yang Ning's heart suddenly tightened. It was really difficult for Princess Yongning to answer this question. The slightest mistake would make the shrewd Empress Dowager Li feel that something was wrong.

Princess Yongning wiped her tears with a fragrant handkerchief. She didn't say yes or no, but a trace of longing flashed across her face. She said, "This...will this break the court rules..."

Yang Ning couldn't help but secretly praise her. With just that trace of yearning and such a question, the meaning was clearly expressed.

"Mother, the emperor feels that now that Sister Ning stays in this deep palace all day long, she will inevitably be moved by the scene, missing and grieving for her father. This is very detrimental to her health. It would be good to let her go out with Yang Ning to relax. If she is afraid The ministers of the court and the imperial censors criticized her, so she asked Sister Ning to disguise herself and sneak out of the palace. We just need to send more people to protect her."

It was Wanli who said the above words. For a moment, everyone looked at him with strange eyes. They were obviously surprised that he could say such reasonable words at such a young age.

Is this still the overbearing and arrogant "little devil"? Yang Ning couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Wan Li squeezed out a smile. Then he looked at Empress Dowager Li sadly and said, "The reason why I said this is... because I have always been moved by the scene these days and miss my father." , it makes my heart hurt to think about it..."
