Light Red Northern Song

The next day, An Ning called the servant girl into the palace to freshen up very early.After freshening up, she sat upright in the outer hall and sent someone to call Mu Ji, but she didn't hear anything for a long time, but she listened to the servant girl's message to ask for an audience.

Lin Lang is several years older than Mu Ji, and also much taller.There is a little beard above the white lips, a straight body, and an elegant posture, it seems that he has received Yun Ran's true inheritance.Although An Ning was quite surprised at the beginning that Yun Ran could arrange for his disciple to stay in the palace and allow him to obtain the right to enter and leave the palace.But very soon, she realized that the real immortal was a very special person in this country of Qi.

"Your Highness, Mu Ji is not on duty today, but he has handed over the paperwork to invite him to enter the palace today. When he is away, Xiaodao will be responsible for personally protecting His Highness." Lin Lang said with a slight bow.

"Oh, there is nothing to worry about if the Taoist priest is here." An Ning took a sip of tea and asked the palace servants to go out, "Does the Taoist priest know how to defend? I wonder if the guards in Jinyun Palace are Need to re-plan the location?"

"The garrison position was carefully discussed by Mu Ji and several guards. How does His Highness plan?"

"This is... a few places close to the sleeping hall, just add more guards."

"Your Highness," Lin Lang raised his head, paused for a moment, and said, "Xiaodao has been instructed by Master to keep His Highness safe. The empress also trusts Xiaodao to arrange Xiaodao here. Xiaodao dare not relax for a while. In fact, last night Xiaodao has been guarding outside the hall and never left."

An Ning also raised her head, looked at the other party's seemingly embarrassed expression, and instantly understood what he meant.

"The Taoist priest didn't leave last night? Then..."

"Someone sneaked into His Highness's bedroom last night, and the path is on the roof." He didn't intend to hide it, and only said after confirming that no one outside the door could hear their conversation.

"Since the Taoist priest is here," she stood up and walked to the window, she turned her mind around and asked again: "So the Taoist priest is sure that the other party will not hurt Bengong, or is the Taoist priest confident that she can't hurt Bengong in front of you? "

"Xiao Dao is not self-confident, she should not hurt His Highness." Lin Lang lowered his head again and replied.

That's right, An Ning thought about it again, Chu Shanyi didn't know that he had martial arts.How could he be so careless and put himself in danger in this extraordinary period?So for herself, her follow-up is Linlang.She believes that he has the ability to keep herself safe in Jinyun Palace.

"How do you know that the other party has no malicious intentions?" An Ning thought, doubts arose again, and she suddenly turned around and asked.

"The person last night was not murderous, and the master once said..."

"Master once said?" She took a few steps forward, and asked again: "Why do you cultivators always say half of your words, and then keep the other half?"

"What Master didn't say is a secret. What Xiaodao just said...is just Xiaodao's conjecture, so it doesn't matter if you don't say it."

"If you don't say it, then don't say it. As long as the Taoist leader is [-]% sure, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything." In fact, An Ning also follows the fate of everything in his heart, and he doesn't like to be serious, and he doesn't like to ask questions.

"Report to Your Highness, Eunuch Huang has come to proclaim the sage's oration, and ask His Highness to go to the front hall to receive the order." The palace servant outside the palace said panickedly, kneeling outside the palace.

"It's so early, why do you come here to give a speech?" An Ning looked at Lin Lang, and then ordered to the maidservant, "Call Xia Le, and change the palace clothes for me."

"Your Majesty ordered, kneel down to receive the order."

As soon as An Ning came to the front hall, she saw Qi Youhui's personal eunuch, Eunuch Huang, with his eyes and nose upturned, and said arrogantly.She pretended to kneel down respectfully, bowing her head to listen to the order.

"By His Majesty's decree: I have always respected the sky and worked hard for the people. Two days later, Zhang Tianshi's Christmas will be held at the Buddhist altar in the suburbs of Beijing, and the generals will pay respects. All important officials will go with them, and so will the masters of the palace. You must not violate it. This is an encyclical." Huang Gonggong Putting his hands in his sleeves, he finished speaking in a thin voice, with his eyelids still rolled up.

"An Ning accepts the order." She raised her head slowly, looked at the other party's high-spirited and confident attitude, and didn't care about him, and got up by herself after speaking.

"Hmph!" Eunuch Huang glanced at her with a slanted eyebrow and left.

When everyone returned to the apse, An Ning still sat and drank tea in a leisurely manner, but what she was thinking at the moment was not whether it would be dangerous to go to the altar by herself.After Linglong died, she seemed to be more worried about the well-being of those who cared about her.Annoyed that she has lost contact with Chu Shanyi now, and I don't know if she has a good way to get through the difficulties.

"Your Highness, can you go?" Lin Lang asked.

"Is it okay not to go? It's not wise to openly resist the order." She replied lightly.

"Although your highness is a child of Yisu, but this life is still a mortal body, why is your highness so indifferent?"

"This palace has always been like this, to be at peace with the situation, and rarely take anything to heart."

"I think it must be Yisu's spiritual sense that made His Highness like this. His Highness believes that everything has a definite order and is the way of heaven, so he doesn't care much about the result." Lin Lang said after thinking for a while.

"Oh?" An Ning thought, it's no wonder that after coming to this other world, she felt that although she was still the same person, her temperament was different, and she occasionally had the illusion of seeing through the world.So, is it really possible?

Two days later, the altar in the suburbs of Beijing.

When Qi Mingxuan saw An Ning's sedan chair going down under the "escort" of many guards from a distance, he unconsciously lost his mind for a moment.She recognized that the guards next to the sedan chair were all Qi Youhui's guards, but she couldn't do anything, the conversation between her and Qi Zhitong last night was still in her ears.The elder brother who pretended to be elegant in front of others is nothing but a man with no virtue, no ability and a narrow mind.

Sitting in the sedan chair, An Ning couldn't feel a little funny in his heart. Qi Youhui seemed to be afraid that he would not come today, so he sent his guards to "escort" him to the altar early in the morning.Yesterday morning Qi Mingyi secretly asked someone to contact her, only to let her be careful about herself today, and ignore the rest.After receiving this message, she felt more at ease, and even speculated about what kind of interesting things would happen today with the mentality of watching a play.

Although His Majesty the Emperor sitting at the top is not looking very good, he seems to be in good spirits.He took a sip of tea leisurely, announced with a smile that the auspicious time had come, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to read out the decree.An Ning looked around, but did not see Chu Shanyi who was under house arrest.King Yong and Princess Yong sat on the left side of the lower head, while Qi Zhitong and Qi Zhiyu sat on the right.Gan Chuankai, Qi Mingshuo, Qi Mingyi, Qi Mingxuan, and An Ning sat further down.There are a group of ministers standing around the altar, more of them are guards with knives.

The Celestial Master's Christmas ceremony began. Under the altar, all Taoists in yellow robes were chanting mantras around the altar. Among them, a man in a dark blue robe led the ceremony.Qi Mingxuan turned his head to look in the direction of An Ning, but unexpectedly met his gaze.She frowned and didn't look away for a long time.The same is true for An Ning. Under the slightly dazzling sunlight, she quietly looked at each other for a while and then smiled.

The ceremony was still going on, when the person in the dark blue Taoist robe suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty! A copy of the heavenly scriptures has been sent down from the altar of the Heavenly Master."

"Oh? What's the content of the Heavenly Book?" Qi Youhui asked with a weird smile, pretending to be casual.

"If there is no Tao in the palace, it will be a disaster for the country." The Taoist replied loudly holding a piece of yellow silk cloth.

The officials were in an uproar at first, and then there was a deathly silence.

"Oh! Could it be that what Liu Yanming and others have said is true?" Qi Youhui blushed and was short of breath. He stood up and asked excitedly.

The ministers around the altar did not dare to speak, including those who defended Chu Shanyi in the court hall a few days ago.Some officials seemed to be quite frightened, looking down at each other tremblingly.

An Ning was unusually calm in her heart, and patrolled everyone's faces as if it had nothing to do with her.She looked at Prince Yong, Qi Yongyao and Concubine Yong, still sitting silently as if they hadn't seen what happened in front of them at all.Qi Zhiyu shook his head with a playful smile, while Qi Zhiyu beside him frowned, and An Ning saw his clenched fists on his legs with sharp eyes.She turned her head again, and the two princesses closest to her also frowned and remained silent.

"Hmph! Chu Shanyi! After being a country, why... cough cough cough!" Before Qi Youhui finished speaking, he suddenly coughed violently.

"Your Majesty! Don't get angry, Your Majesty, you are so angry." Qi Yongyao hurriedly got up to support Qi Youhui, and said in a low voice.

"Now that the master has sent down the heavenly scriptures, this...cough cough cough!"

"Your Majesty, don't panic, this Taoist, I know it, is really a demon." Qi Yongyao's subordinates exerted strength, grabbed Qi Youhui's arm, and pressed him back on the seat calmly.

"You?!" Qi Youhui opened his eyes angrily, staring up at the other party in disbelief.

"This monster came from Yongdi and cheated all the way here. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I have evidence." Qi Yongyao waved his hand with a smile, and immediately a guard escorted a man to kneel on the field.

"Say! Who are you, do you know this person?" Qi Yongyao pointed to the blue-robed Taoist and asked loudly to the kneeling man.

"Young one, I'm just a grass-roots person. I know him. He asked me to make him a silk handkerchief with writing on it." The kneeling man replied as if sifting chaff.

"You! You talk nonsense! I don't know you at all!" the blue-robed Taoist shouted.At this time, another group of soldiers and guards stepped forward and pushed him to the ground.

"You! Why did you back then?" Qi Youhui was still staring at Qi Yongyao, he felt that his body was disobedient and he didn't have much strength left.

"Father!" The attention of the people around was attracted by the two kneeling on the ground, only Qi Zhizheng who was on the side seemed to see something was wrong, and rushed forward to protect Qi Youhui.

At this time, Qi Zhiyu, who stood up right behind him, also pointed to the blue-robed Taoist and asked, "Well, you monster! Father was still fine before, but after taking the elixir you gave yesterday, the old disease relapsed."

"I! I was wronged! I never offered medicine to His Majesty!" The blue-robed Taoist shouted while kowtowing.

At this moment, Qi Youhui fainted suddenly.

"You still dare to cry for injustice! You dare to speak so boldly. First, you used evil medicine to harm His Majesty, and then you used a silk handkerchief to frame the empress. What are your intentions! He must be a spy of the Huns, and someone will detain him!" Qi Yongyao turned around after finishing speaking. Said: "Hurry up! Take your majesty back to the palace and call the imperial doctor to have a look."

It happened so fast that some of the officials didn't understand what was going on, so it ended like this.The princes and princesses all protected Qi Youhui and left, and the guards also left with their masters.

An Ning seemed to understand something, but she didn't quite understand it.

"Qi Yongyao..." She looked at the backs of King Yong and the others, and spoke out in thought.
