Chapter Thirty-Six: Human Affection Turns Over Like Waves


Ning Yan stopped the emperor from leaving the palace to pray for blessings, but the matter was far from over.

Within a few days, rumors spread in the imperial capital that the eldest princess had imprisoned the emperor.

People are talking about it in restaurants, teahouses, and on the streets.

Some nefarious people revealed previous rumors in the palace about the eldest princess seeking power and usurping the throne, and used this to vigorously criticize the eldest princess's regency, believing that women holding power was always against the will of heaven.

At first, many people still insisted on believing in Ning Yan, but gradually the rumors became more and more intense and the trend began to change.

Those who firmly believe that the eldest princess is dedicated to serving the country are beginning to waver.

After all, groundless rumors cannot come out of nowhere.

With so many people saying this, the lies have become true.

The human heart is such a fickle thing.

At this time, the storm in the city did not affect the peace in the little princess's house at all.

Ning Yan was leisurely practicing her calligraphy.

She is good at writing delicate regular script, but rarely writes the kind of running script that Gu Mingxuan likes.

I never dared to try it before, but now that I have written it, I feel that there is something satisfying about it.

Qingluan stood aside dejectedly, holding a lock of hair and playing with it.

Ning Yan looked at her funny: "What's wrong, the sky hasn't fallen yet?"

"But it's about to collapse."

Qingluan wanted to cry but had no tears.

"If it collapses, there's still a big guy holding it up, so it won't be able to hold you down."

She teased while writing as fast as she could.

"I'm still in the mood to joke now.

It's only been a few days.

When Aunt Gu went out to buy groceries, she heard people talking about it everywhere.

And the current rumors are very unfavorable to you, the princess.

You'd better think of a solution quickly."

Qingluan pinched the corners of his clothes and rubbed them.

Rub it away, worrying.

Ning Yan sighed and said helplessly: "As you said, the rumors have become so powerful in just a few days, which means that someone is behind the scenes.

We are aware that he is hiding it, and we are powerless."

"Someone is doing something," Qingluan muttered, "I know it's Yun Xiu."

Ning Yan gave her a "Who else could it be if it wasn't him" roll of her eyes and sneered: "What a good plan.

No matter what I decide, he has a plan waiting for him.

If I agree to pray for blessings, Concubine Yue will definitely be able to return smoothly."

Palace, if she returns to the palace, the first thing she will do is to seize my power; if I don't agree, he can just spread the rumors and fan the flames.

I can't help but worry about the three of them, and use this to force me to give up my power. " "Qingqing, is it really hard to trust?"

She lay on the couch, looking at the blue sky outside the pavilion, with a faint desolation between her eyebrows.

Qingluan shook his head vigorously: "Princess, this is not your fault."

Ning Yan smiled bitterly and said: "What I wanted to do most was to hand Donghe Anan safely into Zheng Yu's hands, so that I could accompany Ah Xuan to travel around the world and visit famous mountains and rivers.

We didn't finish the journey back then However, I am unwilling to leave Donghe, who I have worked so hard to build, to a group of people with evil intentions.

Donghe's hundreds of years of foundation and master's last instructions may be destroyed in one day. ” "So Qingqing, I'm very distressed now."

Qingluan looked at Ning Yan worriedly, and suddenly became excited.

"Princess, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Ning Yan was a little surprised.

When she saw Qingluan running over from the other side of the corridor with a bottle of wine, she couldn't help but smile.

"They say that getting drunk will solve a thousand worries.

Maybe after a few drinks you will know what to do."

She filled the white porcelain cup with wine and brought it over carefully.

Ning Yan smiled and said: "This sweet-scented osmanthus wine should be Ding Bo's private collection."

"Uncle Ding has hidden a lot.

He will definitely not know if there is one missing pot."

Ning Yan held the wine glass with one hand and held Yun Xiu with the other.

Put it between your nose and smell it carefully.

The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus mixed with the rich aroma of wine comes to your nostrils, which makes people feel shocked.

After one cup, the aroma is long and hearty.

"It is indeed a good wine, Qingqing, you should try it too."

"Okay, okay."

Qingluan filled Ning Yan's cup again, poured another cup for herself, and then sipped it one bite at a time.

Ning Yan drank very quickly, one cup at a time, and she drank five or six cups in a blink of an eye.

"Okay, okay, princess, Uncle Ding once said that this sweet-scented osmanthus brew has a strong stamina and you shouldn't drink too much."

"fall" A smile appeared on her lips, her fair face was flushed, and her eyes were already filled with drunkenness.

Qingluan resignedly poured wine for her, but at the same time he was wondering whether he should let the princess drink.

"Qingqing, please get married."

Ning Yan sat on the couch, lowering her head and hugging her knees.

Her long hair just covered her whole body and covered her face.

She huddled up in a ball, looking thin, small, and so lonely.

Qingluan's hand shook and the wine bottle almost fell to the ground.

She was stunned for a moment and asked softly: "Princess, did Qingluan do something wrong?"

Her voice was trembling slightly.

For a while, just when Qingluan thought she had fallen asleep, a muffled voice came over: "No, you did a good job.

But the Princess Mansion is no longer safe.

This place is already a target of public criticism.

There are too many eyes.

Keep your eyes on this place.

So get married and leave the imperial capital.

I will let you get married in a glorious manner in the name of my adopted sister, and I will not let you feel any grievance."

Qingluan cried loudly: "Princess, if Qingluan doesn't leave, I won't leave."

"If you don't leave, will you wait to die?"

Her voice was clear and calm, without a trace of drunkenness.

"Even if I die, I will die in the princess mansion."

The woman in white with her head buried slowly raised her head, looking forward with blurred eyes, and said in a low voice: "But, the situation after that may be beyond my control.

Do you know why he took me away that day, and then let Ah Xuan Come to save me?

I have been thinking about his purpose these days, but Now I finally figured it out.

His purpose from the beginning to the end was only for Ah Xuan.

He knew that his legs were disabled, and he even knew that he was running out of time, so he deliberately trapped us in the water prison to aggravate him.

What a ridiculous condition you say."

She laughed slowly.

Only then did Qingluan realize that their princess was really drunk.

She is such a calm and self-possessed person, but she has many things on her mind.

If you are not drunk, everyone will get drunk.

If you are not drunk, why would you talk so much?

The next day, a letter came from Guilan Mountain.

The letter was brought by Lu Li himself.

There were only four words in the letter: "Retreat to advance."

The moment Ning Yan saw the letter, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.

It just happened to coincide with her thoughts, and that was all there was to it.

Not long after, another rumor arose in the imperial capital, saying that the eldest princess had already decided to end the martial arts competition and accompany the emperor to go to Fahua Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Not long ago, I even went to Fahua Temple in person to discuss matters with the abbot, Master Enkong.

The wind changed direction so quickly that many people were confused.

There are also many smart people who can see that this is just a game played by high-ranking people with the help of the people's mouth.

And all living things are just a chess game
