The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 147 Guilt
"Who!"

Jiang Nian closed the book in his hand, turned sideways to avoid the strong wind, and without thinking about it, he held the hand that was striking with the palm as the blade.

Before he had time to see the visitor clearly, he felt the familiar and delicate feeling in his hand. Jiang Nian threw away the book with the other hand, stopped the visitor by the waist, and embraced him.

"Naughty!" Jiang Nian said slightly reproachfully, "What if I don't see clearly and hurt you?"

Ning Yuezhao raised her eyebrows, "If you want to hurt me, it depends on whether you have the ability!"

While speaking, she had already broken free from Jiang Nian's embrace, and looked at him provocatively.

Jiang Qingnian sighed and raised his hands helplessly, "Is it okay for me to admit defeat?"

Ning Yuezhao squinted at him, and said stubbornly: "No, I order you to show your true skills to compete with me!"

Jiang Qingnian sighed: "Your Majesty, I don't compete with you now because I don't want to win without fighting."

"Heh, the tone is not small, you are so sure that you can beat me?"

"Because you haven't taken care of your body well, I will have the upper hand." Jiang Nian said indifferently, with an incomparably determined expression.

Ning Yuezhao ignored his arrogance and just bent down to pick up the book that Jiang Nian had just casually discarded.

She had read this book before, and it was written about the affairs of the Beiqi royal family. Compared with the complicated situation of the Beiqi royal family, the bloody love triangle between the two generations of emperors of the Daxing royal family is simply not enough to read.

Yiliang, the former emperor of Beiqi, was a cruel and lustful person, but he would do everything possible to get any woman he liked, even the wives of ministers and clan relatives.During Yiliang's reign, he also sneaked into the border towns of Daxing and robbed beautiful women from good families.

These women that Yi Liang favored didn't end up well, and they were often abandoned by him after being spoiled by him.He only gave titles to women with status and families, and the children born to women without titles would not be recorded on the royal jade plate, and their status in the palace was no different from that of servants.

However, even so, apart from those women who committed suicide fiercely, there were quite a few women who competed for favor.

As a generation of licentious emperors, there are 25 sons of Yiliang according to records on the jade plate, and only one of them survived and grew up, and that is the current Northern Qi Emperor Yichu.

Yiliang was extravagantly debauched, and in his twilight years he became more and more indolent. For a new love, he wanted to abolish the teenage Queen Yisi.But the Yi family is a big family of Northern Qi, and Yi Liang was afraid of the Yi family, so he poisoned the queen to death, and lied that she died of illness.As the queen's only surviving son, Yi Chu, with the support of his mother's family, also caused his father Yi Liang to "die of illness".

Yi Chu is only 28 years old this year. He inherited his father's cruelty. After he ascended the throne, he killed all his brothers. As for his sisters, they all became tools for him to win over ministers.

I don't know if it's because he grew up with brothers fighting each other and was used to the strife between women. Yi Chu is almost the opposite of his father.

As the emperor, Yi Chu was undoubtedly smart. After succeeding to the throne, he learned the system and culture of Daxing, which allowed Beiqi to develop rapidly.

With Yi Chu's growing ambitions, the friction between the two countries has escalated into conflicts in the past few years. Perhaps in the near future, a big war is inevitable.

Ning Yuezhao raised the book to Jiang Nian, slightly disgusted, "Why are you interested in these?"

Jiang Nian took the book from her hand and put it back on the bookshelf, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in all battles."

Ning Yuezhao glanced at him, "You've been thinking more and more recently."

Jiang Nian turned around, hugged her waist, and walked out with her in his arms, "Azhao, our identities are destined not to be like ordinary couples, simply having simple happiness, these thoughts have to be spent."

Ning Yuezhao leaned against him, and said seriously: "I know, but I don't want you to hide something from me either. We agreed to rely on each other."

Jiang Nian lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her forehead, "I won't hide anything from you." Except, I'm sorry for the nightmarish past life I experienced.

Ning Yuezhao couldn't hear the words in his heart, so she just wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I asked Fu Liao to develop a medicine that can destroy An Chen's will."

Jiang Nian explained what he had just talked to Fu Liao about.

When Ning Yuezhao heard An Chen's name, a trace of disgust flashed across his face, "I will leave this person to your disposal, regardless of life or death, I don't want to hear about him again in the future."

Jiang Nian moved his lips, but said nothing more.

If she can deal with An Chen's matter objectively and fairly, it means that she has figured it out.Now it seems that even though her body has been detoxified, it will take a long time for An Chen to recover from the psychological trauma that An Chen brought to her.

But it doesn't matter, this time he has enough patience and time to be with her.

At this time, the two of them had already returned to the front hall, the tables and cases were tidy and clean, and the notebooks were still piled up like a mountain.

Needless to say, the two sat down separately, looked at the tired Zhezi in front of them, and then looked at each other, both of them smiled helplessly.

"Fortunately, I dealt with some of it first when I was recuperating with you, otherwise..." Jiang Nian shook his head, and resignedly picked up a booklet.

Ning Yuezhao smiled, "That's not true."

During the half month when she recuperated her body after detoxification, she spent at least half a day in a coma. Every time she woke up, Jiang Nian was either holding a decoction or a brochure.Otherwise, if they allowed those papers to pile up for half a month, they would not be able to deal with so much at once even if their bodies were hardened.

It's just that it hurts Qingchi, who is the ghostwriter.

Fortunately, those dark days are over.Although there are many papers piled up in front of me, most of them have already been reviewed.

Therefore, they can still take a breather and watch slowly today.

Seeing the documents that had already been reviewed, Jiang Nian suddenly turned to Ning Yuezhao, "Qingchi, she..."

Ning Yuezhao sighed, "I originally wanted to ask her to draft an imperial edict, but..." She paused, "I'm so confused, I didn't see her thoughts on Yan Mo."

"Her love, I'm afraid she will pay by mistake." Jiang Nian said firmly.

Ning Yuezhao nodded, and said with some melancholy: "Yan Mo's temperament is cold and serious, and he has a lumpy head. I really can't see that he has thoughts on Qingchi. Although their family backgrounds are quite different, but If the two are in love, these are not obstacles, hey...she has always been high-minded and has strong self-esteem, and I can't tell the truth, I can only hope that she can listen to my hints. "

Jiang Nian shifted his gaze to the notebook, "Everyone has their own destiny, and that's all we can do."

Yan Mo's love is much more subtle than his, if it wasn't for Jiang Nian's sensitivity to his rival, he wouldn't be able to detect his thoughts.With Yan Mo's mind, this love may not be spoken out until he dies.

"I don't have other sisters, Qingchi grew up with me, I really don't want her..." Like me, falling in love with someone who shouldn't be loved.Not everyone is so lucky to meet someone who is sincerely looking forward to it.

Ning Yuezhao didn't say the second half of the sentence, Jiang Nian didn't know why she hesitated to speak.

"Now it's the end of the new year, and soon after the beginning of spring will be Chun Wei. She grew up with you in the palace and has never seen other men. Naturally, she thinks that Yan Mo is good. After she enters the court, she may meet someone who belongs to the court. It's her fate."

At this moment, a young Hanlin official in a vermilion official robe entered from outside the hall, and his face could not be seen clearly against the light.But the tall and straight waist reminded Ning Yuezhao of the days when she supervised the country and Jiang Nian gave her an imperial edict.

"My minister kowtows to the emperor, the emperor's wife."

The person who came here was Lu Ji, and the current Imperial Academy edited from the sixth rank, which is the same as Jiang Nian's original official position.

Because Ning Yuezhao saw Qingchi's absent-minded look today, she asked her to go back to rest, and then asked someone to pass on the person who was on duty today, but it was Lu Ji who didn't want to come.

"Stay flat." Ning Yuezhao said calmly.Since the cause of the queen's death was found out, Ning Yuezhao has been blaming herself, but most of the time, she hides these emotions very well.Seeing Lu Ji now brought back the guilt in her heart.

Regarding the matter of the Lu family, in the end it was the Ning family who was sorry for him.

Ning Yuezhao secretly sighed in her heart, and looked down at the booklet.

The three of them did not speak, and concentrated on dealing with the matter at hand.

In the blink of an eye, it was dusk, Lu Ji rubbed his sore fingers, and felt a little relieved when he saw the edict drawn up in front of him.

I thought I would not be able to go back to rest until midnight at least today, but I didn't expect that there are so many papers that have already been approved, and the cinnabar annotation on it has been a while.This is neither the empress's handwriting nor Jiang Nian's.Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to show half of it on his face.It's just that the delicate handwriting was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Ning Yuezhao's voice interrupted Lu Ji's thinking, she suddenly said: "Tang Xuefeng has been imprisoned, the post of Governor of Shuntian Prefecture cannot be vacant for too long, Lu Ji, I want to promote you to Governor of Shuntian Prefecture."

Lu Ji looked up at her, and there was no emotion in his eyes, he just said indifferently: "Thank you for your appreciation, I'm still a junior, I'm afraid it's hard for me to take on this great responsibility."

How could he not know that the empress's appointment somewhat meant to compensate the Lu family.He used to want to show his strengths in the officialdom, but the unexpected family changes wiped out his arrogance and ambition. Now the official position has been bought by the blood of the Lu family, even if he is allowed to be one day So what about Shoufu?No matter how high an official position is, it can't bring back the lives of relatives.

Ning Yuezhao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Lu Ji, do you think I'm trying to compensate you? You're wrong."

"I do feel guilty about the death of the Lu family. But imagine if your Lu family was upright and upright, how would you allow others to take advantage of your loopholes? Who is Xiao Jingtian, don't you know? No matter how popular the Xiao family is, It's not too big!"

"I will not take such an important official position to appease the guilt in my heart. What's more, human life cannot be compensated by official rank and position."

Ning Yuezhao's words were sonorous and resonant.Not to mention Lu Ji, even Jiang Nian was greatly surprised.
