I'm afraid this place has been neglected for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the person you are looking for lives here." The maid leading the way lowered her head anxiously, lest she offend the new ruler.

"You wait outside." Ning Wanjun pushed open the door expressionlessly, and walked into the hall.

This palace is not big, and there are only three or four suites in total, as well as a lobby for receiving guests.Not long after she passed through the hall, she saw the person she wanted to meet.

Her father, Ning Qingchao.

Chapter 9 and eight come to an end

At this time, Ning Qingchao had completely lost the majesty of the past.

He was wearing a cloth, with gray hair, skinny face and arms, and deep wrinkles covered every corner of his eyebrows and eyes.

This is also normal.After losing to the Privy Council, he had essentially lost the throne of emperor, and then fled from Qiguo all the way to Yongding City with his poor body, and was thrown into the deep palace like a waste, his complexion can It's weird when it gets better.

Ning Qingchao sat in the center of the lobby, as if he had been waiting for Ning Wanjun's arrival. Behind him was a standing Buddha statue, which added a sense of tranquility to this dilapidated scene.

Ning Wanjun frowned slightly.

She had expected her father to cry, or panic, or even scold herself, but... nothing.

The other party's calm attitude was not what she wanted to see.

"You're here." Ning Qingchao spoke first.

Ning Wanjun sneered, "You should understand, what is the purpose of my coming here?" She looked around the lobby, "Where are your concubines?"

"Most of them have left, and the food here cannot supply so many people." Ning Qingchao replied in a low voice, "The only ones left now are three court ladies, two court attendants, Concubine Ming and Ning Weiyuan. What do you want Call them over?"

Ning Wanjun clenched her fist suddenly.

She stepped forward, came straight to the other party, grabbed his collar, and pulled him up!

"Why are you so nonchalant!? Don't you have any regrets for what you did to your mother? I learned everything from Eunuch Li. She didn't die because of illness at all, but because of your murder!"

"I...how could...not regret it..." Ning Qingchao said intermittently.

"What did you say?" Ning Wanjun let go slightly.

"For more than ten years, I have regretted every moment. Your mother...Qiu Xingyun, I still...ahem...remember her appearance."

"Do you think I will forgive you if you say that?" Ning Wanjun didn't believe this kind of nonsense at all.

"I never counted on your forgiveness, because your hatred for me...is exactly what she and I have in common."

Ning Wanjun couldn't help being stunned.

common purpose?

...His and mother's?

What does this mean?

Subconsciously, she let go of the collar in her hand, "Mother...wish I hate you?"

Ning Qing took a deep breath for a while, and then slowly replied, "Yes, this is better than losing your life in the end if you hate the Privy Council. But no one expected that you could get to where you are now. If you do it Yun Jiuquan will be very pleased if he knows..."

"What's going on here, tell me from the beginning!" Ning Wanjun said in a deep voice.

"Your mother's death...is indeed related to me, this...I can't deny it." Ning Qingchao closed her eyes, and said with a hint of pain in her tone, "At that time, Xing Yun was greatly envied by Concubine Qi and Concubine Fei Xiang. False, but I didn't expect that they would cooperate with the alchemists of the family to do it secretly..."

It was a medicinal powder made by a sorcerer, which would make people weak unconsciously, and eventually the internal organs would fail, and conventional medical techniques could not cure it at all.By the time Ning Qingchao realized this, the situation was irreversible.However, at this time, Shangyuan City was in turmoil, and the Privy Council was already out of control. In order to suppress these alchemists, Ning Qingchao had to rely on the strength of the Qi family and the Fei family. Pressure in the bottom of my heart.

Facts have proved that this is by no means groundless. The Wanjinglou incident that broke out a few years later was the final result of the confrontation between the two forces.

"At that time, Xing Yun knew that she was running out of time, and her only hope was to let you survive smoothly. But you have already awakened the power of feeling Qi, if you continue to stay in the palace, you will definitely receive the attention of the Privy Council." Ning Qing Chao whispered, "Whether it involves you in this war from now on, or taking revenge on the imperial concubine's family after you discover the truth, that is not what Xing Yun wants to see, so she and I conspired to make a plan."

"Don't you want to say..."

"The pamphlet that Li Duojin handed you was written by your mother on purpose." Ning Qingchao told the truth that had been buried for many years, "You won't be in danger of your life if you hate me. It's better than relying on the secretaries. Therefore, you will see... In the end, I ordered to abort Concubine Qing's pregnancy, which eventually caused her to weaken and die. In fact, at that time, your mother had already been eroded by the medicine powder, and it was impossible Get pregnant again."

Ning Wanjun fell silent for a while.

She subconsciously wanted to refute, but she faintly realized in her heart that what the other party said was true.

He was able to recount the contents of the booklet, proving that he was present when his mother wrote these records—if Ning Qingchao wanted to hide all this, he could search out the booklet and burn it, or... abolish his princess right away. position, completely to avoid future troubles.Thinking about it now, it was a small probability event that Eunuch Li could get that booklet and hand it over to him all the way.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it. After all the turmoil is settled, I will clear up the grievances for Concubine Qing and take you back to Shangyuan City." Ning Qingchao sighed, "But I underestimated the Privy Council too much—I didn't expect that Ning Qianshi Will betray me at a critical moment, and behind the Privy Council there are Seven Stars. Sending you to Jinxia City is the last thing I can do."

Staying away from the royal city also means staying away from disputes.

It's just that fate took a completely different path at this moment. No one could have imagined that the princess who was released from the distance would eventually become the queen respected by the six nations.

"..." After a long silence, Ning Wanjun spoke again, "I will not forgive you. Even if you are not the main messenger, mother died because of your indulgence and greed."

"I know." Ning Qingchao's body relaxed completely, as if he had said all this, and he no longer had any nostalgia, "If I abandon the throne, or warn the imperial concubine and Xiangfei when things start to happen, maybe Xingyun will be fine." Can survive. You can do it, and you can send me to see her... This is what I owe her."

He lifted his neck slightly after speaking, waiting for the long-lost relief.

But after a long time, the pain never came.

Ning Qingchao opened her eyes, and saw Ning Wanjun's back walking towards the gate.

"Wait, where are you going!" he said anxiously.

"I made up my mind a long time ago that I will make you pay the price—now that the imperial concubine's longing for heir inheritance has become a joke, and you have lost everything you once owned. This is the best punishment," Ning Wanjun headed. He didn't reply, "I won't kill you, because I let you live so that I have time to continue to repent of the mistakes I made."

At that moment, Ning Qingchao seemed to have aged ten years.

He stumbled and chased a few steps, but he tripped and fell to the ground. The door was quickly closed by the maid, and Ning Wanjun's figure disappeared from his vision.

Nine Chapters Nine Great Unification

The end of the Privy Council represents the end of an era, and the Qiguo Affairs Bureau has become the only ruling regime in the mainland.

But that's not all.The joining of Yama Island, Holy Wing Alliance and Natating Kingdom has transformed Qi Kingdom into a federal state, and its influence has expanded dozens of times compared to before. From the east to the west, everyone knows the names of Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan .

And those scattered small countries that have not been included in the federation, fearing that the fleet of the Apocalypse Army will suddenly come to their door, have chosen to send envoys to make friends with Shangyuan City, and put themselves in the status of tributary countries in terms of etiquette and tribute.

For a time, the world was unified.

Another major event in the same period was the marriage of Empress Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan.

Although many people had already guessed that such a day would come, this marriage was still beyond their expectations. After getting married, Xia Fan not only did not retreat to the second line and became a "consort" who gave up his power, but instead led the court alone and will The army was also brought under its own command.Ning Wanjun, on the other hand, haunts between the Martial Arts Field and the Xinji Zaoju, almost in a state of indifference to political affairs.

Such an abnormal situation surprised everyone.

There are even rumors that the two have no relationship at all, and the marriage is just a cover, and Xia Fan has been planning this day long ago.

As for the Apocalypse Army loyal to His Majesty, they had to choose to be patient because of the influx of a large number of angry people.After all, who knows now that all the disciples who come out of the school can be regarded as Xia Fan's disciples. In the era when magic weapons are becoming more and more popular, this is undoubtedly the most powerful force in the world.

But the so-called extremes must be reversed, how could Ning Wanjun be willing to submit to others with his strength?

Many people are guessing when this marriage of power will be declared disintegrated. The seemingly huge dynasty may also fall apart in a very short period of time.

Some families have already begun to prepare for this in advance.

……

Shangyuan City, in the palace garden.

"I'll catch you when I count to three." Qianzhi closed her eyes and started counting, "Three, two..."

"one!"

The little girl turned around abruptly, and the garden was empty.She first went around the rockery and flowers where Tibetans were the most common, but found nothing.

But this is not difficult to know.

She put her hands on the ground and cast the technique of freezing—but the power of this technique was limited to an extremely low range, and it could only form a thin layer of hoarfrost on the ground.Regardless of the inconspicuous effect, such superb precision requires extremely strong spellcasting skills, and it may not be possible to replace it with other alchemists.Under the cover of frost, a "road" with a slightly higher temperature looms—it is the residual temperature left by the human body when it crawls over it. The change may be only a few millimeters away, but this difference can already be noticed by Qianzhi.

"Got you."

Qianzhi followed the path to the pond in front of the flowers, and suddenly inserted a hand into the water.

When she pulled it back again, there was already a doll in crotch pants in her hand.

"Pfft." The latter's breath that had been held for a long time was directly broken by this grab, and all the water in his mouth was spit on Qianzhi's face, "You are cheating!"

"I do not have."

"I agreed not to use my breath!"

"You can't see it while hiding under the water, so how can you say I'm out of breath?"

"I can feel it!" The little guy said reluctantly.He obviously looks very young, only three or four years old at most, but he speaks extremely fluently.

"I don't think so, I have to show evidence." Qianzhi said confidently.

"Mom!" Seeing that the other party couldn't stand him, the little guy asked his mother for help.

Li, who was sitting in the gazebo, just shook his ears lazily, "Qianzhi is right, you have to have evidence to prove that the other party used gas. As for how to find it, I remember teaching you a lot of spells."

"Eh?" The little guy was stunned for a moment, "It's agreed that you can't use your anger to hide and seek..."

"Indeed. But if you catch the opponent and foul first, doesn't that mean you didn't foul?"

This logic is a bit convoluted for a doll wearing crotch pants, he thought for a long time before he understood it, and then he was shocked by his mother's unreasonable words.

The little one felt the complexity of the adult world for the first time.

However, humans are always the most adaptable creatures to the environment.

He soon launched a new round of challenges to Qianzhi.

"Is it really okay to say that?" Xia Fan put down the booklet he was writing, "He is just a child."

"A three-year-old fox demon can already forage for food by himself, so what's the relationship between misinterpretation and sophistry?" Li continued to peel the grapes in his hand, and replied disapprovingly, "Besides, this is your child too, don't you think so? You were very honest when you were young? Being able to put a monster into your bedroom during the examination is probably rare in the world. Tell me, if the fox demon at that time was male, would you have considered your actions carefully?"

uh, this...

Xia Fan was speechless.

In order to hide his guilty conscience, he turned his eyes back to the book, "I'm too lazy to argue with you. By then, this guy has entered the rebellious stage early. Don't say I didn't remind you."

"Don't worry, no one knows how to educate future generations better than me." Li threw the grapes into his mouth, stretched his body again, and enjoyed the brief warm sunshine in the afternoon.

Three and a half years have passed since Datong, even for Xia Fan, these three years have been extremely busy.In addition to being in charge of the Great Migration Plan, he also often travels between the Six Nations and the West Pole to deal with ethnic conflicts that only he can resolve.However, the past three years have also been fruitful, and the most important thing is having their own children.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

I saw a dragon descending from the sky and landed steadily on the specially built stone platform in the north of the garden.

"Good afternoon." Olina greeted the two of them.

"Have you eaten yet?" Xia Fan waved his hand.

"Well, I ate it at Sister Yu's house." She folded her wings, and her Jinxia accent was very skillful, "Where's Your Majesty?"

"It should be coming out soon." Xia Fan looked up at the sky and said.

As soon as the words fell, Ning Wanjun appeared at the main entrance of the garden, followed by Mo Yun, "I'm here, I shouldn't be late, right?"

"Speaking of which, do you have to test Tianhe yourself?" Xia Fan pouted.

The so-called Sky Crane is a new generation of cutting-edge magic weapon developed by the Machine Building Bureau. Guided by Xunshu and Kunshu, it can make huge crane-shaped creations fly into the sky.Say it is an airplane, it is not aerodynamic at all from the beginning to the end, but it is not biased to say that it is not an airplane.After all, among the aircraft that appeared in the past, there is no one that weighs ten tons and can carry three to four people into the sky like Tianhe.

When he was promoting the school, he took out a propeller plane model to attract the attention of the masses, and after eight years, this vision is gradually becoming a reality.It's just that he didn't expect that the new flying magic weapon would take a completely different technical path, and where this line will go in the end is also unknown to Xia Fan.

"That's right, didn't we agree, you take over this stall, so that I can do what I want." Ning Wanjun walked over briskly, leaned over and touched Xia Fan's forehead lightly, and then patted Xia Fan. He patted his stomach, "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, it's only been a few months, nothing will hinder you."

Speaking of this, Xia Fan can only agree.

Yes, he has more than one child.

Soon, Ning Wanjun and Mo Yun climbed onto Olina's back and flew towards the experimental site of the New Mechanism Bureau.

Chapter 9 Migration Accidents

"After returning...these things in front of me, as well as the creations of Jun Jun and Miss Mo, will all be wiped out?" Li suddenly whispered.

"Yeah." Xia Fan nodded slightly.

It was a cataclysmic change that would reshape the entire world.

"Then what they are doing now...does it still make sense?"

Xia Fan knew what the other party was worried about.

He stretched out his hand and gently brushed the other person's ears and the back of his head, "Even if everything has to be restarted, even if all sentient beings cease to exist, we can't ignore the present because of this ending. After all, we live in the present, not the future. As long as you can find some satisfaction in it, it cannot be said that it is meaningless."

Li responded softly, but didn't speak anymore.

Her gaze moved away from the grapes and landed on the child playing with Qianzhi, with a soft light in her eyes.

A moment later, a guard walked into the garden, came to Xia Fan and leaned over, "My lord, the High Priest of the Elf wants to see you, saying that he has something important to report."
