Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Chapter 221

If there are wolves coming to attack

Nangong Jingnv was sad and angry at the same time, she didn't hold back at all.

Qi Yan's cheeks became red and swollen in an instant, the jasper headband on top of her head was also crooked, her meticulous hair was a little loose, and she looked a little embarrassed.

After Nangong Jingnv beat Qi Yan, she felt a little regretful, but her grief and anger quickly overwhelmed her guilt.

Qi Yan stubbornly grabbed Nangong Jingnu's arm: "Your Highness, the overall situation is the most important thing. It's not too late to go after listening to me."

Nangong Jingnv looked straight at Qi Yan. At this moment, she suddenly felt that this person in front of her was so strange. Facing the death of her father, this person could still say the words "the overall situation is the most important thing". What is more important than this?

Nangong Jingnv gritted her teeth secretly, but Qi Yan didn't want the two highnesses behind her to hear her thoughts, and wanted to stabilize Nangong Jingnv first before taking another step to speak.

Qi Yan's silence completely misunderstood Nangong Jingnu, she was very disappointed in Qi Yan: "Qi Yan, are you planning to rebel?"

A trace of astonishment flashed across Qi Yan's eyes, he lowered his head slowly, took out the command arrow given by Sijiu and put it in Nangong Jingnv's hand: "Your Highness, take it, without it you will not be able to enter Ganquan Palace."

Nangong Jingnv took a look at Qi Yan, clenched the command arrow tightly, lifted the hem of her palace dress and ran away.

Qi Yan stood there for a while, without turning her head, she said: "Your Excellency will leave."

It wasn't until Qi Yan walked out of the side hall that Nangong Shunv said, "Elder sister, does Qi Yan really want to rebel?"

Nangong Sunu sighed helplessly: "Second Sister, it's fine if you complain about this in front of me, but don't mention it in front of my younger sister. Don't look at what my younger sister said, it's just her angry words , she can say it, others can't say it."

Although Nangong Shunv has not been favored for many years, but blood is thicker than water, she is still very sad when Nangong Rang died, so she said: "Then why is Qi Yan like this? Not to mention hiding the news of the father's death, but also locked up Ganquan Palace? This is not conspiracy to force the palace, what is it?"

Nangong Sunu was so angry that she raised her hand and gave Nangong Shunu a brain-crushing blow. She said with hatred, "Jingnu is a fan of the authorities, and you are also confused? Where is Ganquan Palace? Let alone a foreigner with no real power." My lord, even if you are a prince, do you have the ability to lock the palace? Although the emperor passed away, Father Sijiu is still alive, who in the world can make Father Sijiu submit to you?"

Nangong Shunv: "Could it be...?"

Nangong Sunu: "Actually, it was Qi Yan who was most wronged by this matter. Before his death, his father called him to the bedside and gave him some instructions. One of them was that he would keep his affairs secret and wait for everything to come to an end." Prepare to do it later. Qi Yan is just following the will."

Nangong Shunv: "Then...why didn't he explain to Jingnv just now?"

Nangong Sunu's eyes showed admiration: "That's why I think Qi Yan will not rebel. In fact, on the day my father died, Qi Yan came to me and told me about it. I advise her not to hide it." However, he thinks that once Jingnv finds out about this matter, she will lose her chance. Although not everything is ready now, the chances of winning are much higher. He would rather bear such a big grievance than support Jingnv to a higher position. , You can see the sincerity. I thought that Jing Nu could deal with it calmly, but I was wrong. The relationship between Jing Nu and her father is too deep, you can see it just now. If Qi Yan told Jing Nu in advance, maybe the next day It spread throughout the palace. There are so many servants in Weiming Palace, and there are so many people with mixed eyes. No one knows if any of them colluded with outsiders. Qi Yan's mind is far beyond the palace's prediction, and his heart is also Far more resolute than others. With him assisting Jingnv, Ben Gong feels at ease."

Nangong Shunu: "Sister, why didn't you stand up and speak for Qi Yan just now?"

Nangong Sunu smiled meaningfully, and said quietly: "I'm not the only one who knows, Sijiu Gonggui will explain it to Jingnu, why should I go out of my way to do it for me?"

Nangong Shunv: "But... so Qi Yan won't bear grudges against Elder Sister?" Nangong Shunv felt that the reason why Qi Yan told Eldest Sister was to have a personal certificate, but Eldest Sister stood by at the critical moment and hurt him. Beaten.

Nangong Sunu: "Offending a son-in-law is better than offending the future empress. Second sister, remember. From now on, we must not only treat Jingnv as a little sister, but also treat her like an emperor. To be in awe, don't think that in the past when sisters were deeply in love, they acted recklessly, the better the relationship, the more cautious they should be in words and deeds, and carefully maintain this sisterhood, and never cross the line."

Nangong Shunv seemed to understand but half understood, but Nangong Sunu didn't want to say any more, some things were left to the end, and the rest had to be comprehended by herself.

Nangong Sunu was doomed not to stand up for Qi Yan, standing up on her own under the wrath of Nangong Jingnu would only bury a gap.What's more, Qi Yan is a foreign minister, and he is a member of the General Zhenbei's mansion, so it is not a good thing to go to the secret in private.

Nangong Sunu believes: Qi Yan can also think of this level, but Qi Yan still came to tell him the news, which proves that Qi Yan is not afraid of being wronged. He sincerely hopes that Jingnu can go further, but there are some things to share , maybe my heart is not so bitter.

Even after being beaten, Qi Yan did not push Nangong Sunu out, which made Nangong Sunu appreciate it even more.

However, Nangong Sunu still had some doubts in her heart. Is there really a man in this world who can go through fire and water for the one he loves?

Nangong Sunu has seen too many infatuated women sacrifice everything for their husbands, but few men do the same.

It's all because women die from one wife, and men can have multiple concubines, and they can continue to marry after the death of the wife.

Thinking of this, Nangong Sunu felt that Qi Yan became more and more interesting. She wanted to observe and explore secretly, to verify whether such a man really existed in this world.

……

In the 16th year of Jingjia, the third day of March.

Wei Emperor Nan Gongrang died, and the whole country mourned.

Zhongshu ordered Xing Jingfu, and Taiwei Lu Zhongxing led all civil and military officials to kneel outside Ganquan Palace, wearing hemp and filial piety.

On April 18th, the imperial edict left by Nangong Rang was read out in public: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: I know that time is short, since I have been on the throne for [-] years, I have stabilized people's livelihood, flattened Beijing, and unified the world. Choose good ministers, choose good generals , worked hard for eighteen years, and did not dare to slacken for a moment until death. After my death, all the princes went to the ancestral mausoleum to ask for the coffin of the Ma family of the Yuan Empress, and opened the Chishan Emperor Mausoleum. Empress Ma of the Yuan Dynasty is: Gongyi to Xiande Chunshuyi Duan Kai Yuan Shengyi Empress, the country cannot live without a king, I have written a will, after I and the Yuan empress sleep in the imperial mausoleum, four or nine will lead a hundred civil and military officials The officials went together to take out the imperial decree, and announced the candidate for the new monarch in public. This is my honor."

Civil and military officials shouted long live three times: "Observe the order."

Sijiu rolled up the imperial decree and handed it to the little servant next to him: "Give it to all the adults to pass it on."

Waiter: "Yes."

The main purpose is to let the courtiers verify the seal of the imperial decree, and after the verification is correct, Si Jiuyi shakes his hands and dusts the dust: "Your Majesty's last decree: I will keep everything simple in my funeral, and those who have children in the harem can wait until my funeral is completed." The palace lives with the children, and those who have no children will be sent to their mother's house, so there is no need to guard the spirit for me. I have been away from the Yuan Empress and his wife for more than [-] years, and I have a lot to say, and I don't want to be disturbed by others."

Everyone: "Follow the order!"

In the inner hall, the three princes headed by Nangongda are kneeling on the right, the three princesses headed by Nangong Jingnv are kneeling on the left, the son-in-law and Liangdi are kneeling in the back row, the grandson, granddaughter, grandson, and granddaughter are behind, and the outermost five blessings Kneeling in the corner of the main hall are Nangong Wei and Nangong Zhen in sackcloth, the former second prince and fourth prince. Nangong Rang changed their golden books and jade documents and imprisoned them in Zongzheng Temple. The first emperor died, and the four or nine decided to release the two temporarily.

Several years of captivity made Nangong Wei and Nangong Zhen completely lose the demeanor of princes. The two looked middle-aged, with tired faces and lonely expressions.

The servant sent the imperial decree back to Sijiu, and Sijiu walked into the inner hall with the imperial decree: "Your Majesty has a decree, the three princes return to the mansion immediately to prepare, and set off today to the ancestral mausoleum to pick up the coffin of the Empress Yuan. "

Nangong Bao and Nangong Lidi claimed "yes." Nangong Da bowed his head and remained silent, Sijiu stared at Nangong Da and called out, "Your Highness Fifth?"

Qi Yan knelt behind Nangong Jingnu, her eyes were deep.

Sure enough, a certain adult's voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Eunuch Sijiu, the old minister has something to say!"

Sijiu had no choice but to turn around and walked out of the mourning hall with the support of Chen Chuansi.

The Minister of the Household Department led several officials to the front of the crowd: "Fourty-nine father-in-law, the old minister has a word."

Sijiu: "My lord, please tell me."

Minister of the Household Department: "As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king. According to the old ministers, it is important to return to Beijing after welcoming the Yuan Dynasty, but there is no need to rush. It is reasonable to clear the emperor's edict first to determine the candidate for the new king. The new king is invited to preside over the relevant affairs. Matters, or make good arrangements for the government and then follow the edict is the only way to be safe."

Another minister stood up and echoed: "I agree, the ancestral mausoleum is far away, and it will take more than a month to come and go. The princes are all out of Beijing. Who will handle the state affairs during this time? Besides, first The emperor's temple name, posthumous title, and many important events will be presided over by the new emperor."

Hubu Shangshu: "What Master He said is true. Besides, the obituary has been spread all over the world, and the common people already know about the national funeral, but the new monarch has not come out for a long time. I am afraid that it will make the world jealous and the country will be unstable."

Nangongda knelt on the ground and silently filled the brazier with paper money, and the words of those adults fell into his ears.

Nan Gongda was not stupid, he could even be said to be very cautious. It was understandable for the Lu brothers to jump out and fight over the candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of War. Xing Jingfu's anomaly aroused his vigilance.

After returning to the mansion to discuss with the staff, they soon discovered the clues.

However, he chose to pretend not to know, and to follow the plan.Moreover, Nangongda thought that with his current prestige and ability, the throne must be his own, and...he still held a hole card in his hand, which was also his confidence to let the situation develop.

As early as after he took over the government, he secretly placed his confidants in the Imperial Forest Army, and gradually took over the ruling power of the five thousand Imperial Forest Army.

He also knew about Ganquan Palace Lock Palace, but there was an ice cellar in Ganquan Palace, and Sijiu handled it properly, Nangongda didn't know that Nangongrang had died long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have endured until today.

The incident in front of him was planned by Nan Gongda himself, he didn't believe that without the backing of his father, what kind of tricks could a small head of internal servants be able to pull out!

In any case, I have to ascend the throne today, even if I am not the candidate for the imperial father's edict, I have to become myself. It is easy for the five thousand Imperial Forest Army to control these people!

He wants to see whose name will be written in the imperial edict, is it Nan Gongbao?Or Nangongli?

Right now there are only three princes who have the right to inherit. As long as those two are dead, what does it matter if there is a will or not?
