Chapter 89: The Eve of Departure
The first reaction in Yang Ning's mind was: Could this be Concubine Li's idea? But this would mean that she would have to stay away from the palace for a period of time. How could she do this?
If it wasn't Concubine Li Guifei, who could it be? Yang Ning looked at Princess Yongning with doubts, but saw Princess Yongning looking at him anxiously and saying: "How could it be like this? How could my father make such a decree? What about the Northwest War?" It's so dangerous, wouldn't it be possible for you to lose your life at any time if you were asked to supervise the army? No, I have to see my father."
Yang Ning was relieved, it turned out that it was not Princess Yongning who asked Long Qing to do it because she was angry with him.
From what Princess Yongning said, the war in the northwest is not going well. She sent herself to supervise the army because she wanted to kill herself.
Yang Ning thought of the fat Meng Tong and the sinister-looking Teng Xiang. It seemed that they were right. They must have bewitched Mr. Longqing and issued an imperial edict to commit suicide. They were indeed I have always wanted to deal with myself, and it's hard to take such a long time to take action, but once I do it, it will be a fatal move.
The Ming Dynasty's internal eunuch regulations stipulated that the eunuchs who sent out the supervisory army were generally from the Yuma Jian, and in the event of major wars, the eunuchs of the Yuma Jian were usually dispatched personally.
I remember that last time Teng Xiang was demoted from the sixth-grade general manager to the imperial eunuch. Now it seems that he will be reinstated and he will become the "scapegoat", even though he is managed by a seventh-grade eunuch. He was promoted to the sixth rank of a large internal prison yamen, but this was a job that could lead to death. The counter-insurgency war in the northwest must be extremely dangerous, and even if the war went smoothly, they would definitely think of other ways to endanger themselves. The land is dead, the northwest is desolate, and the war is dangerous. It is too easy to kill one of the supervisors.
"Princess, don't go. The emperor's decree has already been issued, so how can we take it back," Yang Ning advised with a wry smile.
"But why did Emperor Father suddenly and inexplicably promote you to the position of Royal Horse Guard? What do you want to do about this war? It is obvious that he wants you to die," Princess Yongning said anxiously.
"Princess, don't you understand? This must be Meng Tong and Teng Xiang who are causing trouble. With such deliberate intentions, you really think highly of me, Yang Ning," Yang Ning sighed with a sneer.
"Yang Ning, what should we do? We can't just follow the wishes of these traitors," Ying'er said anxiously.
Yang Ning said helplessly: "What else can I do? I can't resist the decree. Princess, after I leave..." Yang Ning suddenly stopped talking considering the presence of Ying'er and Xiang Zhong.
Princess Yongning said calmly: "Ying'er, Xiang Zhong, you two go out first. I have something to say with Manager Yang."
Ying'er and Xiang Zhong didn't think much, agreed and left.
Yang Ning was silent for a while, then forced a smile and said: "Princess, Yang Ning can't serve you anymore. You,,, take care of yourself,"
Princess Yongning's eyes immediately turned red, and her voice was choked as she said: "Yang Ning, actually..., I didn't mean to alienate you some time ago, you...,"
Yang Ning smiled and said: "Princess, what are you talking about? Do we still need to talk about this between us? The princess has always taken good care of Yang Ning. Yang Ning knows it very well and is very grateful. This time when we go to the northwest, we can If you can’t come back, you’ll have to say something, if...,"
"No, you are not allowed to say such depressing words. You promise me that you will come back alive in the future. Even if you no longer become the manager of Funing Palace, at least..., at least I can see you again...," Yongning The princess choked and said.
Seeing Princess Yongning's sad look, Yang Ning couldn't help but be moved and said: "Okay, princess, I promise you, I will definitely come back to you alive,"
Princess Yongning broke down in tears and smiled, but the sadness on her brows could not be removed. She also knew in her heart that with Meng Tong causing trouble, even if the war was not dangerous, Yang Ning's situation would not be too optimistic.
"Princess, after I leave, you ask Xiang Zhong to be the general manager of Funing Palace. This guy looks stupid, but he is actually very smart on the inside. He has been with me since he entered the palace and is loyal to me. You can do whatever you want with him. As the general manager, I feel relieved when I leave," Yang Ning explained.
"Well, I listen to you," Princess Yongning agreed obediently.
Yang Ning was about to say more when she heard Xiang Zhong reporting outside: "Princess, Eunuch Feng, the director of etiquette in the front yard, is here to visit and wants to see Manager Yang."
Feng Bao came at this time. Yang Ning was moved in her heart and said to Princess Yongning: "Feng Bao came at this time, presumably because of my trip to the northwest to supervise the army. I will go see him."
Princess Yongning was a little reluctant to leave, but considering that Yang Ning was busy with business, she had no choice but to nod her head and said, "Go ahead and come back soon after we finish talking about things."
Yang Ning agreed and came to the front yard. Feng Bao was now wearing a python robe and standing under the big gardenia tree in the front yard with his hands behind his back.
"Yang Ning has met Eunuch Feng," Yang Ning stepped forward and saluted.
But Feng Bao sighed first and said: "Yang Ning, what happened to the Northwest Supervisory Army is all due to the incompetence of our factory supervisor, who cannot stop Meng Tong from secretly instigating the emperor."
Yang Ning hurriedly said: "My father-in-law is so caring for me, I can't thank you enough. There is nothing I can do about Meng Tong being deeply trusted by the emperor."
"Well, speaking of which, I often begged the Imperial Concubine to speak for you. At the Governor's request, the Imperial Concubine went to the Emperor to speak out. She even had a big quarrel with the Emperor, but she was unable to change the Emperor's mind. ," Feng Bao sighed.
Yang Ning thought to herself: It sounds like Concubine Li spoke for me because of your begging. The current situation is that even if you don't beg, Concubine Li will definitely speak for herself.
Concubine Li did work hard for herself and even had a big quarrel with Long Qing for herself, but she didn't know if this would arouse Long Qing's suspicion.
""Tomorrow morning, you should go to the East Campus and set off with the counter-rebellion army on the New Road. For your safety, I have made an agreement with Mou Tai and asked him to select some of his best men to be your bodyguards to protect your safety. You are very careful, Yang Ning. To be frank, Liu Dongshang's rebellion in Ningxia has defeated several anti-rebellion armies of the imperial court. The current war situation is extremely unfavorable to the imperial court. If you go, be very careful. If things go wrong, leave first. Go, and when you come back, my wife and I will protect you,"
Yang Ning smiled bitterly: Feng Bao was teaching him to escape, but his starting point was good, and he really cared about his own safety in his words. It seemed that he really regarded her as his.
Feng Bao gave a few more instructions before leaving Funing Palace.
Since Long Qing's imperial edict came suddenly, Yang Ning had to complete a lot of preparations on this day. After greeting Princess Yongning, he went to Zhang Cheng first, told him that he was going to the northwest to supervise the army, and asked him to continue searching. The whereabouts of Xiao Lezi.
Then he went to see Mou Tai. As soon as he met Mou Tai, he cursed Meng Tong and others for their despicableness, and assigned his four best Ouchi guards to Yang Ning, asking them to protect Yang Ning as he went to the northwest. These four guards were very familiar with Yang Ning on weekdays, and now that they were under the command of the commander, they had no complaints, and each of them swore to Mou Tai to protect Yang Ning.
After coming out of Mou Tai's place, Yang Ning did not dare to go to Fengyi Palace openly in broad daylight, so she had to wait until night.
Returning to Funing Palace, Yang Ning was stunned by the sight in front of her. Princess Yongning was leading Ying'er and Xiang Zhong to pack Yang Ning's luggage for departure, including food and clothing, and made two large packages.
"Princess, I am going to the front line, not for fun," Yang Ning said funny.
Princess Yongning said in a low mood: "Are you prepared for any danger?"
Yang Ning accompanied Princess Yongning until late at night, but Princess Yongning was not sleepy at all. Yang Ning couldn't help but said: "Princess, it's getting late. You can rest. I will set off early tomorrow morning. Let me say goodbye to you in advance. "
Princess Yongning's expression became sad again, she lowered her head and said nothing. Yang Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Princess, don't be like this, it's not like I won't come back,"
"Then... take care of yourself," Princess Yongning said, biting her lip while holding back tears.
Yang Ning forced out a smile and said: "Believe me, I will come back safely. When the time comes, I will also take you out of the palace to visit the shops on Qipan Street and eat the delicacies of Tiantianju."
Princess Yongning's eyes lit up, she nodded solemnly to Yang Ning and said, "It's a deal,"
Yang Ning saw the serious look on Princess Yongning's face and thought that she might never see this stunningly beautiful princess again. She couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. She forced a smile and said, "It's a deal,"
Back in his room, Yang Ning stayed with his eyes open until late at night, until the whole palace was completely quiet, and then secretly left Funing Palace. He knew that Concubine Li and Shui Ling must be waiting for his arrival at this time.
When they came to a hidden corner outside Fengyi Palace, Shui Ling choked and threw herself into Yang Ning's arms, crying: 'Brother Ning, Ling'er doesn't want you to go to war.'
Yang Ning was touched and amused by the little girl's words, and she quickly advised: "Girl, I will be fine. Don't you still believe Brother Ning?"
"But why do I see the worried look on your face," Shui Ling said still worried.
"Stupid girl, she is worried that her illness has not been completely cured,"
Next, Yang Ning coaxed and persuaded, finally comforting Shui Ling, and then sneaked into Concubine Li's bedroom. He had been coming every night for the past few days, but Shui Ling thought he was just here to treat Concubine Li.
As soon as Yang Ning entered the bed room, he was hugged by Concubine Li and rolled onto the embroidered couch. Concubine Li was uncharacteristically pressed down on Yang Ning, took the initiative to kiss Yang Ning crazily, and tore his clothes.
"My queen, my queen, you, what's wrong with you," Yang Ning said in surprise, pushing away Concubine Li a little distance.
Concubine Li had tears on her face and said with a sad look: "Yang Ning, I'm sorry, I failed to persuade the emperor to change his mind, and I failed to stop you from going to the northwest to supervise the army. I,,, I'm really useless,"
Yang Ning wiped away the tears on Concubine Li's face and said with a smile: "What did I think it was? How can I blame you? It's just Meng Tong and others who caused the trouble."
Concubine Li's pretty face turned cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I know it's Meng Tong's guy who is behind this. Humph, they are so deliberately plotting against you. Although I can't do anything about them now, when Jun'er succeeds to the throne, I will definitely smash them to pieces." Corpse in thousands of pieces,”
Yang Ning was frightened when she saw Concubine Li's pretty face with a sinister look on her face. She was thankful and said in her heart: Fortunately, I have established the most "intimate" relationship with this powerful woman. If she treats her as an enemy, it will be miserable in the future.
Yang Ning raised her head and kissed Concubine Li and said: "My dear, now that we are about to part ways, let's not talk about these disappointing things. Should we seize the time to do what needs to be done?"
Concubine Li's watery phoenix eyes became soft and charming. She looked at Yang Ning from top to bottom and exhaled, "Tonight, I will make you happy." After saying that, she leaned over and kissed him. Yang Ning's lips.
Yang Ning was so stimulated by Concubine Li's words that she responded fiercely to Concubine Li's passionate kiss. She hugged Concubine Li's delicate body tightly and rolled over. For a moment, the brocade quilt in the bed tent was messy and full of spring.
After an unknown amount of time, Concubine Li gasped coquettishly: "Yang Ning, please have me tonight," and then she began to untie Yang Ning's clothes.
Yang Ning had long been in agony from being addicted to sex without quenching her thirst night after night. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but thinking of Concubine Li Guifei's body, he still asked: "Mother, are you healed already?"
Concubine Li knew what Yang Ning was asking. She gasped and tore Yang Ning's clothes while replying: "Already... almost ready, come..., come quickly, I will give myself completely... to you,"
But Yang Ning heard that something was wrong. He tried his best to stay awake, pressed Concubine Li's hand and said, "My dear, what does it mean that you are almost healed? It means you are not healed yet."
Concubine Li stopped her movements and said coyly: "Today there is still so... so much leakage, but it is actually almost better. You will go to the northwest tomorrow. I don't want you or me to have any regrets. I want to You are content to go on the road..."
Yang Ning's vagina slowly receded, and he sighed: "Mother, why are you doing this? There is still a trace of it, which means it is not completely healed. If you do that now, what will happen to you?" My health is very unfavorable, and I may also get sick. You are treating me as the kind of person who only knows how to vent your desires, but does not know how to show mercy. We can't do this tonight. When I come back from the northwest, you will be in good health. It’s not too late for us to enjoy this joy again,”
Concubine Li stared blankly at Yang Ning for a while, and then said excitedly: "Yang Ning, if you can treat me like this, it's not in vain for the torture and torture of my conscience that I endured because of you and me."
Yang Ning kissed Concubine Li's smooth forehead and said: "You can't torture yourself like this, it will also make me feel uneasy and sad. If you have to be tortured and punished because of this, then let me bear it with you."
"Yang Ning," Concubine Li had never heard such affectionate words before. She was so moved that she threw herself into Yang Ning's arms.
