"Wait a minute, let me slow down." Ning Yan raised her hand to stop Ning Qingyan's words, stabilized her body, forced herself to sit down, and took a deep breath.
Ning Qingyan obediently shut her mouth, and even thoughtfully poured Ning Yan a cup of hot tea.
After drinking the hot tea, Ning Yan seemed to wake up from the shock.
He looked at Ning Qingyan solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Please tell me one by one, carefully."
Ning Qingyan pursed her lips. Ning Yan's shocked look just now was still in her mind.
Therefore, she slowed down her speech this time and explained the cause and effect of the matter in words that were easier for Ning Yan to understand... Of course, there were some things that Ning Yan should not know, so she had to hide them.
For example, the Wuwu Forest disappeared because Bixi wanted to follow her.
Why would Bixi follow a girl like her?
Ning Qingyan didn't tell the truth, she just told Ning Yan that Biyi would accept her as her master and follow her, and she couldn't refuse.
Once Ning Yan accepted Biyi's existence, it would be easy to explain why Zhao Yun returned to Zhongdu instantly.
Isn't this a very simple thing for the ancient mythical beast, Bixi, who has the blood of the dragon clan?
The reason why she chose to tell Ning Yan about the existence of Bixi was not only because of the disappearance of Wuwu Forest, lying was not easy to explain, nor because she wanted to explain Zhao Yun's whereabouts. The most important thing was that Ning Qingyan believed that Ning Yan knew about it.
The existence of Bixi will not be revealed.
Sure enough, Ning Yan was shocked when he first heard that the Forest of Wuwu was actually the forest on the back of the ancient mythical beast Bigui. Then Bigui woke up and thought that his granddaughter was his master, which made him even more unbelievable.
But after that, Ning Yan regained his composure and strictly prohibited Ning Qingyan from telling any third person about this matter.
"No one knows why the Forest of Wuwu suddenly disappeared overnight, so you don't know either. Remember, no matter who asks, you have to remain silent. The common man is innocent and harbors his own crime. Grandpa believes in you.
I understand." Ning Yan warned her.
Ning Qingyan nodded cooperatively, feeling warm in her heart.
The heart that was scarred thousands of years ago is now being repaired bit by bit.
Perhaps, one day, she will fill those holes and regain her ability to love!
"Yanbao Army, and your father..." After dealing with Ning Qingyan's 'hidden danger', Ning Yan focused on the second thing Ning Qingyan said.
There was pain in his eyes. Even though it had been many years, he had already tasted the pain of losing a child back then, but now that he heard it again, he still felt pain in his heart.
Ning Qingyan could understand Ning Yan's pain at this moment, but she couldn't empathize with it.
He could only comfort Ning Yan: "Now, father and the others are freed. Perhaps, they have entered reincarnation now."
With tears in her eyes, Ning Yan said with emotion: "I hope they will go well, be safe and happy in the next life."
The most common blessing, but it represents the strongest voice of the old man at this moment.
Ning Qingyan patted Ning Yan's back symbolically.
She didn't want the old man to continue to be immersed in pain like this, and tried to divert his attention: "That person was instructed by someone in Zhongdu."
"He started with the Flame Leopard Army, and even his final plan against his father seemed to be driven by hints from that person."
"So, I suspect that that person is also related to the matter of grandpa being poisoned."
"A person who is ambitious, who is tit-for-tat against the Ning family army, and who even wants my grandfather's life is probably not an ordinary person."
"Either they are spies from other countries who are lurking in high positions in Da Hao."
"Either he is from the royal family and has great ambitions for power."
These are the results of Ning Qingyan's own analysis.
A secret realm, and the desire to get rid of the Ning Family Army... No, maybe he didn't want to get rid of the Ning Family Army, but wanted to make the Ning Family Army fall into a leaderless situation. In this case, he would have the opportunity to get involved.
The Ning family army obtained one-third of Da Hao's military power!
Ning Qingyan's eyes sharpened.
No matter who this person is, if he plots against the Ning family, he is an enemy.
"You are right." Ning Yan's attention was indeed diverted. He nodded along with Ning Qingyan's words, and Lao Huai comforted him: "Yan'er, you are really good!"
In his opinion, a girl who has never left Zhongdu, and has been tortured by evil people for several years, and is known as a waste and a fool, can have such vision and be able to do everything once she wakes up.
Ning Qingyan's growth in an orderly manner was enough to reassure him.
Ning Yan even had a vague hunch in his heart that his granddaughter would not be trapped in the back house, and even the world of Dahao was not enough for her to stretch out.
It's just a pity that you married too early!
Every time he thought about this, Ning Yan couldn't help but blame himself. If he had woken up earlier, maybe his granddaughter wouldn't have to marry in such a wrong way.
Even though Prince Ding treats Ning Qingyan well, after getting married, he is still not as free and spontaneous as when he was unmarried.
"Does grandpa have any suspicious candidates in mind?" Ning Qingyan asked.
Ning Yan was silent for a moment, "Before anything happened in our family, most of your father and I were stationed in the southwest, and we didn't pay much attention to the court disputes in Zhongdu, or even the infighting within the royal power."
"I didn't take your father back until he reached the age of marriageable age... After that, he and your mother fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other. I couldn't bear to break them up, so I turned down some engagements from aristocratic families.
Of course, I also have my own selfish motives. Your mother comes from an ordinary family and is not involved in government affairs. Your father marrying her can also reassure His Majesty."
"After your father's wedding, I hurried back to the Southwest Territory, while your father stayed in Zhongdu. First, because your mother was delicate and frail, and it was difficult to adapt to the climate of the Southwest Territory. Second, your father stayed in Zhongdu at that time.
The best in both.”
"I went back after you were born. During that time, the Southwest was relatively peaceful, so I just traveled between places until that year..."
Ning Yan followed Ning Qingyan's words and recalled what happened over the years, trying to find something suspicious in it.
In this way, he really discovered that something was wrong.
"...I remember how old you were at the time. I have always been in good health, but I didn't expect that shortly after returning to China that year, I felt a little uncomfortable. Your father was very worried and looked for famous doctors everywhere to treat me, even the palace
All the imperial doctors have been invited."
"However, the diagnosis given by everyone is that I am sick due to overwork, which has caused the recurrence of some old injuries. I need to rest and recuperate, otherwise it will cause a big disaster."
"At that time, your father decided to let me stay in Zhongdu for a while to take good care of my health."
"But I didn't expect that at that time, the Southwest Territory suddenly received military information. Your father refused to let me come to the Southwest Territory and asked me to continue recuperating in Zhongdu. He himself went on an expedition for me, and then..."
"It's indeed strange." Ning Qingyan's eyes flashed.
