Liangzhou and Ningzhou, one north and one south, are the two most important state capitals in the west of Dajing.

Now, one was killed by the barbarians into the state capital and directly burned the main house of the State Shepherd Ruan's family, and the other was wiped out by a small mob in the market. Shake it.

Zhu Dingbei twitched the corner of his mouth, but found that he couldn't smile, who had always been calm. He frowned, and his face was even more serious than Ning Heng's usual expressionless expression.

What a coincidence.

Whether it's timing, or the wrist they use.

What's more, the Ruan family in Ningzhou also found a large amount of bad silver, the stamp number and the stolen national silver were minted in the same batch in the same year.

"Aheng, tell me, will you..."

He didn't finish.

Ning Heng also had a solemn face.Compared with the situation of Ningzhou and Liangzhou, Ning Heng was more worried about Luo Jing's situation about the inside story involved in the Youyin case.

The eldest prince Sima Yurui and the fourth prince Sima Yuye are the leaders among the grown-up princes. The two have been in contention since a few years ago. Four years ago, the two princes were appointed to replace the emperor in Guangzhou and Yangzhou to appease the victims. , After paying for the disaster and making remarkable achievements, the situation of the rivalry between the two sides and the struggle for reserves became clear.

Although the emperor did not favor any of them, he also used them as a check on his courtiers.But now, the mother clan of the two of them has been frustrated to the point where they can no longer help them, and the emperor's check and balance has also been destroyed under the mutual injury. Sima Yuzhen, the fifth prince who is about to come of age, but the situation in the court will definitely be adjusted accordingly.

Zhu Dingbei, who was born as a general, might not have the heart to think about the troubles this would bring, but he had to prepare in advance.

The Ning family was able to maintain an eternal neutral attitude among the princes, not because they were confident, but because they were prepared.As a result, the next days of the Ning family will not be easy.

"perhaps."

Ning Heng replied.

When the barbarians burned and killed the Ruan family's main house, although they suspected that the remnants of the Li family were fanning the flames, they didn't think too much about it being an interlocking pawn laid by the Li party members.Now that the Huang family in Liangzhou is in such a catastrophe, although it was caused by the mob in the market, their behavior makes people have to connect the two.

The technique was too similar, and it was chosen at the time of the war in Ningzhou Prefecture and the Wusun war in the northwest, and at the same time severely injured the two most powerful princes in Luojing.

Regardless of the point, they have reason to link these two incidents to Li Dang, who is behind Bad Bank.

More importantly, this is just the beginning.

Ning Heng informed Zhu Dingbei of his concerns about the changes in the party struggle, and said: "I said earlier that they deliberately prevented me from returning to Beijing. I think they didn't just want me to prevent me from returning to Beijing."

Zhu Dingbei narrowed his eyes dangerously, explaining Ning Heng's unfinished intention: "They want to put you to death."

The Huang family in Liangzhou, the Ruan family in Ningzhou, and the Ningfu in Guangzhou.

The first two have not been possible for a hundred years, and there is no possibility of reuniting the family. If the head of the Ning family dies at this time, the Ning family is bound to be in chaos. Zhu's family tried to deal with it but failed.

Think carefully.

"What Ah Heng means is that what they don't want is not to replace it, but...to break it and then build it up."

If their guess is true, then what Li Dang is going to do at this time is not to rebel at all, but to destroy the foundation of Dajing and uproot the royal family and several big families!Zhu Dingbei had never thought about this level before, and now he also felt shuddering.Ning Heng's expression was tinged with frost, and he said softly, "Maybe."

Ning Heng would hardly speak in such reserved and conjectural terms, but he had already said it twice at this time.It can be seen that he also hopes that this guess is just a hypothesis, just their suspicion.

Zhu Dingbei took two deep breaths, and said to Ning Heng: "Ah Heng, we must end this matter as soon as possible."

Must, rush back to Luojing as soon as possible.

Not only the threat to the Ning family, but more importantly, Zhu Dingbei was sure that the other party did not give up on the Zhu family.After the Huang family and the Ruan family fell, it was followed by the Ning family and the Zhu family.

Ning Heng's eyes fell on the boundless darkness outside the window, and he exchanged a look with Zhu Dingbei.The latter nodded. Just as Ning Heng thought, he also suspected that these pirates came from the hands of Li Dang. Maybe there was a remnant of the last escaped Li family that they couldn't find, or maybe, in a few days, Years ago, Li Dang implanted people among pirates.

But no matter what the possibility is, even if these pirates have nothing to do with Li Dang at all, they are bound to wipe out these pirates to avoid future troubles!

Both of them were a little restless. After the candle was extinguished, Zhu Dingbei was still not sleepy. After waiting for a while, Ning Heng turned around, put his arms around his shoulders, squeezed him comfortingly, and brought him over again. Gently began to massage the acupuncture points on his head to help him fall asleep.

Zhu Dingbei relaxed his body, and suddenly said with a low smile, "We haven't been this close for many years."

Ning Heng's movements paused, his unconscious expression softened, he showed a silent smile in the darkness, and gave a low "um".

As they grew up, he had a lot of contact with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so the old lady specially arranged a guest house next to the Zhu Dingbei courtyard of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion for him to stay overnight.It is rare for them to be in the same room as they were when they were eleven or twelve years old. The two of them were in the same room again because of Mrs. Liang in the Ning family, but now because of the sea disaster, Ning Heng had this opportunity again.

Zhu Dingbei lived in the army in his previous life, and it was common for him to eat and live with soldiers, so he didn't think it was a big deal.With this feeling, it was because the 17-year-old boy comforted me when I was in a bad mood just now, and my heart felt warm, so I couldn't help sighing.

He also said: "Last time, you shouldn't have easily let go of those two people. Looking back, no matter what method you use, you must let Li Jia and Li Yi talk endlessly. What is the reason why the Li family did not hesitate to ruin Dajing? really want to know."

"Ah."

"Aheng..."

Zhu Dingbei wanted to say more, but Ning Heng covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "I know about Changsheng. Go to sleep, everything will be fine."

"Well, don't underestimate the enemy."

"I do not know."

Zhu Dingbei then stopped talking, shut his mouth in silence, and after two moments, his evenly long and smooth breath touched Ning Heng's nostrils.

At the same time, Luojing Palace and Jingyang Palace.

"Cough cough."

The heavy, muffled cough was intermittent in the bedroom, and Aunt Hongrui, who was on watch at night, led the eldest maid Chunxia, ​​and felt worried when she heard it.

Chunxia is Huang Guifei's apology, and she feels more empathy for the pain she is going through now, and said worriedly: "My lady, what should I do if this continues."

Your Majesty, even the fourth prince cannot comfort the imperial concubine, let alone the servants.But let the empress continue to be sick like this, she is really afraid... something will happen.

Aunt Hongrui is the aunt in charge of Jingyang Palace, and she also sighed slightly at this time, and said, "Let's serve with all our heart."

"aunt."

A weak voice came from the hall.

Aunt Hongrui hurried forward with Chun Xia, knelt down and asked, "Ma'am, what are your orders?"

"Help me up."

The two got up quickly, Chunxia hung up the curtain, and Aunt Hongrui helped her up.Concubine Huang Gui asked, "What time is it?" The sky outside hadn't penetrated yet, so it could be seen that not much time had passed, but she already felt that it had been too long.Sure enough, Aunt Hongrui said: "The ugly hour is five quarters, and you only rest for half an hour, Madam."

Said it was a rest, but actually did not fall asleep.

Concubine Huang Gui smiled wryly, "I can't lie down anymore, please help me to the front of the hall."

"Your Majesty, this can't be done." Aunt Hongrui said distressedly: "How can you hurt yourself like this? If His Majesty and His Royal Highness Ye Wang know about it, it will be so uncomfortable. If you don't think about your own body, please Fourth Highness Gu Nian, it must be hard for him to lose weight after seeing your illness, and to have the same heart as the mother and the child."

Saying so, Huang Guifei shed tears faster than her.

What happened to the mother's family is even worse than Concubine Ruan Shu's family.She hardly has the face to live in this world. Every moment, she thinks of her grandmother, mother, aunts, sisters, and even young nieces, who were bullied and died. Confident, it seemed that everyone looked at her with a dirty look.If it weren't for the fact that a concubine's suicide is a serious crime for destroying the nine clans, she wished she could die with the girls of the clan.

The direct line of the Huang family was defeated just like that, and none of the offshoots could support the family business. Seeing that the foundation for generations was going to be in turmoil, Concubine Huang felt even more saddened when she thought of her son who was implicated by this.

The disgrace of his mother's family, and the humiliation of his own body as a noble concubine made him unable to hold his head up.

She hated it, wished she could kill all those mobs.But she knew that even if His Majesty avenged him, she would never go back.The dead relatives will not be resurrected, the humiliation imprinted on the body will not fade away, and the favor of His Majesty will also be lost, and the position of prince and son will also be missed.

Each of them is hitting her courage to live.

Hongrui was choked up and unable to speak, no matter whether she felt sorry for the imperial concubine or pityed her own uncertain future, the sadness in her eyes seemed to be real.

Chun Xia couldn't help crying. She knelt in front of the imperial concubine and hugged her legs, begging: "Your Majesty, you must cheer up! Only you can avenge the master and the old lady! The Fourth Highness also You are the only one left. Are you willing to let His Highness lose you when you are surrounded by enemies? Your Majesty, for His Highness, you must cheer up! You are still the imperial concubine in the palace, and even the Queen cannot surpass you. Your Majesty has you in his heart. Have you forgotten your previous expectations? There are still so many things to do, you can't lose, and you can't let His Highness lose!"

These words can be said to be rebellious, but in this situation, her reckless words made the imperial concubine feel lonely and courageous.

Yeah, she can't lose!

No one can make her bow her head, those who put humiliation on her, she must trample those people under her feet!As long as Ye'er is on the throne, who will remember the humiliation suffered by the Huang family, who would dare to look down on the Huang family's lintel?

The imperial concubine's eyes burst out with a desire to survive, and Aunt Hongrui cried along, but a cold light flashed in her lowered eyebrows.
