One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

The blood stains of the Palace Hall had accumulated a thick layer on the path of Han Baiyu. The palace maids had to wash the blood with water for a full four hours before it was washed clean.

The officials in the hall had already left, leaving only the royal family sitting there.

The Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Sixth Prince did not dare to make a sound. They only lowered their heads to minimize their own presence, afraid that they would attract the attention of Baili Qingfeng.

The Second Prince's eyes were slightly lowered, but he was paying close attention to Shen Ninghua with his mind.

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua were kneeling in the middle of the hall. The sky was already starting to brighten, making the candles in the hall seem pale and weak.

"Father, please allow this son and wife to leave."

"Give me a reason, I don't want to hear about any reasons like fear and revenge. If you guys are really afraid, how would you dare to act so rashly?" He was sweating cold sweat in his heart as he fought against the officials all by himself.

Baili Junyi raised her eyes, "Imperial Father, how can this son and subject possibly have a reason?" "If you really want to say it, then your son and I are tired of staying in the capital, and we want to go out and enjoy ourselves for a while. Ever since we returned to the capital, we have experienced many things, and after just marrying our son, we have suffered countless setbacks and difficulties. I cannot bear it."

Baili Qing Cang opened his mouth slightly and sighed lightly. Even with his support, the two of them were almost framed so many times. He knew about this, but he was unwilling to let them go. The more he saw the performance of his other sons, the more he felt that they were worthy of respect.

"You all … You two. "Rest assured, I will naturally protect all of you. You don't have to hide from me."

"Imperial Father," Shen Ninghua gently lifted her head, her thick eyelashes slightly quivering, leaving a faint shadow on her jade-like face. "Imperial Father, you haven't completely listened to this son play the zither, right? How about I play a song for you today?"

Baili Qingfeng did not know why she would suddenly mention the zither. However, looking at her face, he was unable to say a word of rejection: "Alright, why did you think of playing a song for my royal father?"

Shen Ninghua smiled faintly and did not answer. Instead, she turned her head back to signal the attendants to bring the table in. Baili Junyi personally set up the table for her.

Shen Ninghua raised her head and asked, "Imperial Father, may I borrow your green * *?"

"Of course." Baili Qingyuan had his men bring Lu Qi over.

Shen Ninghua sat down and lightly strummed the zither. A trace of sadness flashed across her eyes. "Imperial Father, I remember that the second prince's consort once played a song about Lanling. Today, I'll play this song as well, right?"

Baili Qingfeng trembled as he lifted his eyes to look at Shen Ninghua, who was sitting upright on the ground. Only then did he notice that the clothes she was wearing looked somewhat familiar.

He remembered that before Xia Jingyan had gotten married, she had played the Orchid Fragrance Orb for him. She had also worn a red dress like this, and was as beautiful as fire.

He opened his mouth, only to see that Shen Ninghua had already raised her hand. The first mercury-like zither music abruptly pulled him into the mood of the song.

Shen Ninghua fiddled with the zither strings, and intense music flowed out from her.

However, there was a faint smile on her face from beginning to end. It was calm and gentle, gentle and graceful …

However, in her hands, the battlefield was still cruel. However, it was no longer endless killing, but to protect the people behind her, to protect her wife and children, to protect the home behind her, and to protect the land behind her!

The waiting of the family's wife and children was still heart-wrenching, but it was no longer hopeless and preoccupied. Instead, it was filled with confidence and pride. They believed in the return of the people, in the victory of the war, and in the prosperity of their country.

Tears welled up in Baili Qingqing's eyes as he tried his best to suppress his tears, "Jingyan, are you still blaming me?" I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have cut off the Xia family because of my authority, I shouldn't have ruined your life just because of some unwarranted fear …

The passionate music gradually calmed down, and the smile on Shen Ninghua's face gradually deepened. A cheerful voice sounded one after another.

It was as if the days of waiting had finally been exchanged for peace and harmony after experiencing many battles. That sort of joy was extremely pure. It was pure without the slightest bit of resentment or fear, like the most clear and transparent stream.

Baili QingCang stared at Shen Ninghua in a daze. Only after the music had ended did he regain his senses, "This last part …"

"Father, this is something that I found after cleaning up my mother's things a while ago. It's a piece of music score with only the second half. This son has searched for a long time, but was unable to fill in the first half, only to find out that it's extremely suitable when matched with Lanling Music."

Baili Qing Cang received the silk cloth in a daze, "You... Are you saying that this piece of music that your mother wrote was followed by Lan Ling Music? "

"Yes, this son thinks it should be so." Shen Ninghua's eyes sparkled slightly as she said, "Imperial Father, I heard that Mother liked the northwest region very much. She said that the Northwest Great Desert is Lonely Smoke and the setting sun of the river are the most magnificent and beautiful places. "Now that the northwest has been hit by a drought, I am willing to accompany Prince Yi to provide relief to the west and take care of it. It can be said that I have saved father's life."

Baili Qingqing's fingers trembled so badly that he was unable to hold back his tears.

"Yes, your mother was ambitious. She wanted to fight in the battlefield like a man, but the Old Master of the Xia clan found out and taught her a lesson. He had even suppressed her anger for a few days. In the end, it was Zhen who gave her a male eagle."

Shen Ninghua had a smile on his face as he silently waited for Baili Qing Cang to finish speaking. After a long time, he seemed to have recovered from his thoughts, "Alright, since you guys don't want to stay in the capital, then go for a walk." "I won't stop you. Pick whatever you want to go to. There's just one thing, I need to come back and visit you every once in a while."

The two of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Baili Qingfeng.

Shen Ninghua said, "Imperial Father, I can't put you at ease either. This is a pill I made to strengthen your body and strengthen it, one pill a day for half a year. You have to take care of your body, and before long, your son, Luo Chen, and Luo Yao will be back with me to visit you."

"Alright."

Baili Junyi continued, "Don't worry, Royal Father. I'll definitely take good care of Ning Hua and your grandchildren. I'll come back to see you in a while."

"Mm, alright, it's not like I'm not coming back, so stop saying these things. "I know you two are good kids." "Go back and pack up your things. Also, think carefully about where you're going. Northwest China is too remote and desolate. You can occasionally go there. However, it's not appropriate to bring two children with you."

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi looked at each other with a smile on their faces. "Father, the northwest is the best. Your son and I have already discussed where we should stay after the disaster."

"The two of you can go and endure hardships, but don't bring my grandson and granddaughter. They aren't as tough as you. Go back and think about it. I'm also tired, and have been tormenting you for so long …"

"Father!" Just as Baili Qingfeng stood up, he heard the cold voice of Baili Jinchuan.

"Hmm? "What's wrong?"

Baili JinChuan glanced at Baili Junyi, before shifting his gaze to Shen Ninghua. "Imperial Father, you said earlier that the prince won't leave the capital and will give his fifth brother two choices. They've chosen the latter. Are you planning on removing him from the throne with golden words?"

They didn't want to see Baili Junyi achieve anything. After all, if a prince were to be released, the emperor would be the only one left in the world. It would be easy for them to win the hearts and gather the forces of the people, but once he left, they wanted to make sure that he would never return.

It was only because they had made a mistake that they didn't dare to raise their heads. They hadn't expected the Second Prince to remember this. Now that they saw Baili Junyi in such a predicament, they could finally relax.

Baili Qing Cang frowned, "What, do you think your fifth brother, Prince Yi, is in the way?" He had originally thought that number two was a quiet person. Could it be that he had other intentions?

"How could that be? This son is only defending royal father's dignity."

"Heh, you're quite kind." Baili Qingfeng sneered, "Then, what title do you think your fifth brother should take to leave?"

He knew that his words were too reckless, but he couldn't do anything to stop Shen Ninghua from leaving. He wanted to see Shen Ninghua leave, but he couldn't find a proper excuse to do so, because he had no place to stand!

Baili Junyi laughed without a care, "Imperial Father, your words make a lot of sense. You asked me to choose a long distance away from the capital, so I decided to stay away from the throne. However, it doesn't matter whether I'm a prince or not."

"Since I've already spoken, I might as well lower my status from a prince to a prince. Although the title of prince is no longer in existence, I can still enjoy a salary of a prince."

He was extremely satisfied with Baili Junyi's performance. Even though she had been exempted from the position of prince, her salary was a true sign of affection. Even after he left the capital, no one dared to look down on them.

Baili JinChuan became anxious, "Father …"

"Alright, are you still not satisfied? Don't you know a thing about being friends with your own brother? " After reprimanding him, Baili Qingfeng turned around and left with a cold snort.

The Third Prince and the others wrung their hands. What a great opportunity! Even the Second Prince was unable to seize it. It was truly useless! Since Baili Qing Cang had already left, there was no point in them keeping him. It was best for them to hurry back and think of a way to fill up the treasury.

Baili JinChuan walked up to them, anger evident on his face. "Are you sure you want to leave, Ninghua?"

Shen Ninghua's expression was indifferent as she replied, "My husband wants to leave, so of course I have to stay with him. I still have a lot of things to pack up, so I'll be leaving first."

Seeing her emotionless expression, Baili JinChuan reached out his hand to grab her sleeve. Hundred Miles Jun Yi suddenly moved to protect Shen Ninghua from behind. She grabbed onto Baili JinChuan's wrist and shoved him to the side. "Second Imperial Brother, please behave yourself with dignity."

Shen Ninghua didn't want to linger any further. He reached out and grabbed Baili Junyi's hand. "Let's go."

Seeing the two of them leave, Baili JinChuan clenched his teeth in hatred. At this moment, his entire arm was in pain and he didn't feel the pain coming from his heart, "Shen Ninghua, you'll come back. I'll make you come back!"
