  Chapter 314 The Death of Bai Zha and Yue Yue’s Big Wedding (5)

   "Xiaoyin...how is it?" Guo Kuang asked suddenly.

  Ning Yue opened the curtain, looked at his resolute side face, and said softly: "It's good, does the old lady miss him again?"

  Guo Kuang hummed, but said nothing.

  Ning Yue looked at his expression, and always felt that there were some emotions in him that she couldn't understand. He is the most severe judge in the Daxin Dynasty, and he never bends the law for personal gain, but today, without interrogating her, he asked Concubine Guo Shu to make an alibi for her, which is too unlike his style! Do you really trust her unreservedly, or do you want to protect her even if you violate the principles?

  Or, the person he really believes in and wants to protect is Xuanyin!

After arriving at the General's Mansion, Ning Yue jumped off the ground, picked up Niuniu, who was sleeping soundly, from the carriage in the palace, and glanced at Xiao Ying, who was also drooling in sleep, and asked Guo Kuang, "Xiao Ying will sleep at our house first. Bar?"

   This child came to her twice, but didn't say a word both times.

  Guo Kuang pondered for a while, and said, "No, I will send her back to the palace."

  …

  After returning to Tangli Courtyard, Niuniu woke up slowly, still not very energetic, lying lazily in Lin Lanzhi's arms.

Ning Yue told Lin Lanzhi what happened in the palace in detail, just omitting her own thoughts of dealing with Bai Weier. After the incident, such an ending was regarded as karma, but she was very confused. How could such a good-looking person fall into the water out of thin air? Fall overboard? Bai Wei'er doesn't have such a loose temper...

  Ning Yue pinched Niuniu's face: "Niuniu, tell Third Aunt, how many times have you met that big sister today?"

   "Which big sister?" Niuniu asked in a daze.

   "The one wearing the curtain fence hurt Xiaobai's big sister."

   "Oh, once." Niuniu yawned.

   "But the elder sister said that she saw Xiao Bai again behind her."

   "Huh?" Niuniu woke up halfway from sleepiness, "Where? Where did you see Xiaobai? Where is Xiaobai? Xiaobai! Huh...Xiaobai—I want Xiaobai—"

  She cried sadly.

  Lin Lanzhi hugged her distressedly, and said to Ning Yue: "Forget it, how old is she? How do you remember this? Xiaobai is very naughty, and he sometimes runs around by himself."

  Ning Yue also hoped that Xiaobai would run around by himself, instead of trying to distract Zicuckoo on purpose.

  But what did Bai Weier see to be attracted to run over? As soon as he ran, he ran into the water.

  Bai Wei'er's death had a huge impact. Ning Yue's almost scapegoat was just the tip of the iceberg. The turbulent waves it caused washed over Linzi City on the night of April 13th.

  Southern Xinjiang received a letter from Feige, learning that their princess died unjustly in the palace, all the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, and the morale of the army was unprecedentedly high. On the night of the thirteenth, the Nanjiang iron cavalry broke through the Yanmen Pass and entered Linzi, and hung the Nanjiang military flag on the city gate of Linzi with unstoppable momentum.

   On the 14th, with Linzi as the hinterland, the southern Xinjiang army went straight to Bocheng in the east, attacked Yancheng in the west, and occupied Lingnan in the north. At dawn on the 17th, Nanjiang occupied the four southern cities of the Great New Dynasty.

  The emperor was furious, and immediately ordered Xuan Yu to send his troops to the south to wipe out the Nanjiang dogs at all costs!

  The princess bid farewell to her son with tears in her eyes, and told her to return safely.

   On the day Xuan Yu left, the streets, teahouses, and restaurants were full of people who saw him off, and Ning Yue was among them. Ning Yue stood in the room on the second floor of the pharmacy, watching the figure in silver armor gradually go away.
