Heavenly Dao Formula

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, not to mention pursuing responsibility, even the truth could only be determined. 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 her time was short, 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 noble concubine's family after you discover the truth, that's 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 gave you was written by your mother on purpose." Ning Qingchao told the truth that had been buried for many years, "You don't have to worry about your life if you hate me. It is better to be an enemy of the government or the family. So you will see... In the end, I ordered to kill Concubine Qing's pregnancy, which eventually caused her to weaken and die. In fact, your mother had been eroded by the medicine powder at that time, 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 can retell the contents of the booklet, proving that he was also 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.
