"First, let's calm everyone down. I'm going to take a bath. I feel really uncomfortable." Yao Ji said softly with a tired look. She then picked up her pen and dipped it in the inkstone, wrote a few words, and
He picked up the paper and blew in a few breaths. This action made Zhang Ning feel familiar, and he was used to doing it.
She added: "Give this to your attendants and tell the four guardians to meet me in the hall."
Zhang Ning bowed his head, took the paper, walked out of the bedroom and handed it to Xu Wenjun. After finishing the work, he came back and stood there. It seemed that he had a thousand words to say, but after asking for the necessary information, he didn't know what to say. He had never seen Yao since he could remember.
Ji, even though we knew each other but we didn’t get along day and night together, I really didn’t know where to start. He was at a loss for words and asked: “Are you bathing in the hot spring pool in that cave?”
Yao Ji was stunned, looked away and whispered: "You can't come in again! Don't think wildly in the future."
"Of course not! I didn't mean that... I regret it so much now." Zhang Ning said awkwardly.
Yao Ji suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Are you married?"
"Not yet, we are already engaged." Zhang Ning answered truthfully.
Yao Ji smiled and said: "She must be a girl from a good family. What does she look like?"
Zhang Ning nodded and said: "The adopted daughter of Yang Shiqi, an important minister of the imperial court... has a good appearance, so of course she cannot compare to you."
"How can you compare like this?" Yao Ji blushed slightly and said sternly, "As long as you are virtuous and know etiquette and have a pure family background, it will be fine. We should have arranged the marriage earlier. You are already twenty-three years old and you have not yet married, and your adoptive parents are so...
Don’t you care about this important matter?”
Zhang Ning said: "They have passed away."
At this time, Xu Wenjun walked to the door of the bedroom and said that the four guardians had been ordered to enter the courtyard. Yao Ji said to Zhang Ning, "Follow me to the hall."
The place they went to was the hall through the courtyard gate, where Zhang Ning was "interrogated" just after he was captured. Yao Ji sat down on the chair behind the bead curtain, and Zhang Ning and Xu Wenjun walked out together. Others in the hall
The four of them all turned to look at him. The four of them stood there calmly, two of them were wearing white dresses, one was wearing a homespun Tsing Yi, and the other was wearing a floral dress; because Zhang Ning knew in advance that he was being called in.
It was the Four Guardians who were high-ranking members of the anti-evil sect. It was then that I realized that they were not ranked based on the color of their clothes. They could wear whatever they wanted.
Yao Ji then said calmly: "These two people are useful to us. It was a misunderstanding at first. There is no need to embarrass them anymore."
A woman in white clothes immediately asked: "If they want to leave, won't they stop them?"
"Exactly." Yao Ji said, "I have compiled a book and newspaper about this matter during the day. If you have any questions, you can send someone to send a letter to ask."
"My subordinates have absolutely no intention of doing this, and they will never write a letter without telling the leader." The woman hurriedly bowed and said, "I disobeyed the leader's order before..."
Yao Ji immediately said kindly: "I know you have no choice but to blame you, and I don't want to blame you. Don't think too much about it. The five of us have been together for a long time, and I still trust everyone."
The woman hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I was confused for a moment. Please ask the Lord to punish me. Otherwise, I will not be able to feel at ease."
"Help Qiuye up." Yao Ji said. She paused and then said softly, "You have to think for the best, otherwise the good thing will turn into a bad thing."
The guardian named Qiuye hurriedly responded: "Yes."
"Let's break up then. It's almost dawn, and there are still things to do tomorrow." Yao Ji said lightly.
Someone else asked: "Do these two people need to arrange another place to live?"
Yao Ji said: "It doesn't matter if they stay in the wing in my courtyard. I still have something to talk to them about."
"yes."
Zhang Ning thought of what Yao Ji said to Qiu Ye just now, and felt that it made sense for a moment. He thought that if he were the guardian, he would probably be worried about being settled by Qiu Hou. After all, no matter who the guardian is, he can't compare to Jianwen himself.
The concubine has status, but Yao Ji's words eased her heart.
Seeing her words and deeds with his own eyes made Zhang Ning respect her even more; if Zhang Ning had not been separated from her flesh and blood before, he might have dealt with others better, and he would not have been falsely accused and thrown into prison and lost his soul.
After a while, the guards and Yao Ji's personal attendant Xiaoyue also came in. Xiaoyue knelt in front of Yao Ji and said timidly: "The leader told me not to report the news. I was wrong. I thought... I thought you asked me to go out and tell you."
The apologist comes to the rescue.”
Yao Ji just nodded lightly: "We just walked to the back door of the yard and saw a lot of people gathering there. I knew you would be wrong. There is no need to mention it again. I have to take a bath and change clothes now. You go prepare something to serve me.
.”
After saying that, she turned to Zhang Ning and said, "Ask the guards to take you to the study to rest for a while. I have something to do later."
After a while, Yao Ji took Xiaoyue from the backyard to the cave. They saw two guards walking around the cave. When they saw Yao Ji coming, they bowed and stood. After a night of tossing, the sky in the east
Has turned slightly white.
She was about to take off her clothes and take them into the pool, when she felt the hardness of her tube top. It had been stained by Zhang Ning before, and then she wore it again and dried it against her skin. The soft satin became as shiny as if it had been washed by starch.
Hard. Afraid that the slave would find something strange when washing clothes, she put on her dress and walked straight into the pool.
"Leader..." Xiaoyue was startled and said silently.
Yao Ji ignored him and leaned gently against the wooden wall of the pool, soaking in the warm water. A wave of tiredness came over her and she closed her eyes gently. Soon a wisp of red clouds flew over her
Beautiful cheeks, like the morning glow that is about to appear.
...The sky was getting slightly brighter. When Yao Ji approached the study, Xiaoyue beside her was holding a ceramic jar. Yao Ji said, "I asked someone to cook the sweet porridge. Let's have something to eat."
Zhang Ning was not polite, he was really hungry, so he and Xu Wenjun brought the evening porridge. The white rice porridge had the smell of honey, and the white rice porridge was dotted with red dates. While Zhang Ning ate and drank, his mind was wandering and he wanted to stop.
I couldn't control it when I got down, and I really wanted to slap myself twice.
He buried his head and ate three bowls of porridge. When he looked up, he found Yao Ji's beautiful big eyes looking at him intently. When they met Zhang Ning's eyes, he smiled slightly: "The body is quite strong, not bad, not bad. I
You know it’s not easy to take the imperial examination, but you’ve done well in gaining fame and scholarship so quickly, haven’t you?”
Zhang Ning looked back at the books in the study and remembered Yao Ji's good calligraphy. He leaned his head over and whispered in her ear: "I have inherited your bloodline."
Yao Ji pursed her lips lightly and hurriedly covered them with her hands, laughing out loud. Xu Wenjun next to her looked confused. The two of them were enemies not long ago, but in the blink of an eye they were like good friends who had known each other for many years.
At this time, both Zhang Ning and Xu Wenjun had finished eating, so Xiaoyue put away her bowl and spoon and went out. Xu Wenjun also said tactfully: "My boss is talking to her, I will go out first." Yao Ji shouted: "Xiaoyue, take the lead first.
People go to the side room to rest."
At this time, Yao Ji sat down in front of the desk and said, "The people you brought are still outside."
"Yeah." Zhang Ning nodded, "We have to deal with these people first, so as not to make people suspicious. I guess Yan Ruofei may go to the ancient temple to find someone after dawn... Otherwise, he won't be able to explain clearly when he goes back.
"He thought for a while and then said, "If I went out early in the morning, what would I do if I went to the ancient temple for half a day and a night?"
Yao Ji said lightly: "I asked people to seal the exit of the ancient temple. There are still a few forks in that road. Just tell him truthfully that there are secret passages in the ancient temple. Go in and explore but there is nothing to gain."
Zhang Ning frowned and said: "But Yan Ruofei is not an ordinary person. I am afraid that he will come to investigate privately. Aren't you in danger?"
Yao Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry too much about me. If the evil-repelling sect was so easily broken, it would have been destroyed after so many years. I have my own way to deal with that Yan Ruofei. Even if he is exposed, just move to the main altar."
"It must be difficult to run this place like this." Zhang Ning sighed.
Yao Ji said: "It doesn't matter. But the thing you mentioned is that Emperor Xuande doubts your life experience. Is it dangerous? You must take precautions in everything early. This is the first sentence my mother asked you to remember. If it hadn't been like this back then,
I'm really going to lose you."
Zhang Ning nodded: "Mainly because an official accused me of not being my biological parents. In addition, my native place is Nanjing and I was born in the fourth year of Jianwen, so I became a weak point for others to attack me... But everyone is most suspicious.
After I became the surviving minister of Jianwen, no one would have thought that my life experience would be like this, not even myself."
He paused and continued: "In fact, after the death of Yongle, the emperors from the Hongxi Dynasty to the Xuande Dynasty no longer valued Jianwen's affairs so much, but the key is that Hu Ying stirred up trouble. Hu Ying said that he heard about it in front of Taizong's soul
I saw a very light smell, which was very consistent with the clues obtained during the secret investigation of Jianwen's whereabouts, so I suspected that Taizong's death was caused by Jianwen's remaining ministers. Emperor Xuande was very close to his grandfather Taizong when he was young, so he couldn't accept it.
Such a thing. But the emperor did not completely believe what Hu Ying and his family said, so I came here to investigate the evil sect this time, mainly for the anti-evil incense that can emit a special smell. If the anti-evil incense is not poisonous, it may make the emperor think that Hu Ying
What Ying said was false, which further reduced my resistance to Jianwen's legacy; and I have doubts about my life experience, so the crisis I faced was greatly reduced."
"Yongle was indeed poisoned to death." Yao Ji said sternly, "The person who did it was the eunuch Wang Gou'er. I met him more than ten years ago. He was originally our eunuch, and he was set up in the palace as a
As a preparation, the old people of the Jianwen Dynasty made a storm of revenge the year before last, and the superiors were forced to carry out the plan twice. The first time failed, and the second time Wang Gouer succeeded."
"I see." Zhang Ning lowered his head and thought through his thoughts, "Wang Gou'er has a godson, and I have some contacts with him."
Yao Ji hurriedly said: "You must not get involved! Don't even associate with Wang Gou'er. He doesn't know your identity, and not many people in the world know it. Except for Emperor Jianwen, I am the only one who knows. I
There is a way to help you get through this, so you can marry Yang Shiqi's adopted daughter and live a good life."
Zhang Ning looked at her blankly, feeling very strange in his heart, and this feeling was very unfamiliar.
