018: The lord of Qingning County died
However, she also planned to meet those two people the next day, and Nangong Yuan came directly to the Ningguo Mansion.
However, it was impossible to meet in private, because Lou Yichen was not far away, and he didn't seem to be at ease, so he didn't go far, but he didn't disturb the conversation between the two here.
Nangong Yuan glanced at Lou Yichen who was pestled over there, but he was a little happy, and looked at Lou Yueqing teasingly, "If it weren't for the rush of the trip and the time to get together again, why wouldn't this king come to visit, but now it's okay, it's like cheating!"
Although Lou Yichen never refused to let him see Lou Yueqing, it was impossible for them to meet alone, which also had his scruples, after all, now the matter between Lou Yueqing and Rong Zhi is almost certain, and it was rumored that he was not innocent with Nangong Yi before, so naturally it could not be rumored that he had anything to do with him, but Nangong Yuan was still a little speechless.
When Lou Yueqing heard what he said, the corners of her mouth pulled slightly, and she gave him a roll of her eyes.
Nangong Yuan said that she was in her thirties, but sometimes she was so out of tune, what could she say.
Before she could squeak, the guy said to himself, "But then again, your eldest brother is also a powerful person, if he hadn't been married, this king would have wanted him to be his son-in-law......"
Lou Yueqing: "......" His daughter is only in her teens, and her eldest brother is already in his twenties, so he is less than ten years younger than him, and more than ten years older than his daughter, he is embarrassed to say this?
She was too embarrassed to listen!
I don't know if it's because I'm old, this brain is also rotten!
I want to hit him!
"Okay, okay!" Lou Yueqing didn't bother to talk to him about these things, Lou Yueqing said directly, "This time, Dongyou is afraid that the sky will change, but depending on what you mean, tossing this one is just to make a wedding dress for others, there is no benefit, I really don't understand, what do you want to do!"
She has also received some rumors about Dongyou's affairs, but recently she has been in trouble with her own affairs, so how can she be idle to care about anything else.
Nangong Yuan paused, his face returned to normal, he was silent for a moment, and asked without answering, "Xiaoyue is so smart, can't you figure it out?"
Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows, but she didn't speak.
She could indeed vaguely guess what Nangong Yuan meant, but she was a little embarrassed.
I don't know how many people will die in this change......
Sighing slightly, Nangong Yuan said lightly, "He is too ambitious......"
He is Nangong Yi.
Lou Yueqing frowned, this, she can't deny this, whether it is the one she knew before, or the current Nangong Yi, he is an ambitious person, and he is definitely not willing to be subservient, during this time, Nangong Yi has repeatedly sent spies to infiltrate various countries, and she already understands what she wants to do.
If this is the case, presumably when the situation of the Dongyou Dynasty stabilizes and becomes stronger and stronger, it will be a disaster of life.
She doesn't like war, she doesn't like it very much.
Nangong Yuan didn't want to talk too much about these issues with her, so after thinking about it, he changed the topic, and frowned, "But then again, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you, what is the relationship between you and Nangong Yi?
His nephew, who used to be called a ridiculous, lustful and lascivious, almost didn't understand national politics, but since he woke up from the assassination last year, people have changed, and he is not close to women, and he has eliminated several princes in just a few months, and controlled the government in his hands.
But he didn't know where to start with Lou Yueqing's thoughts......
"This matter ......" Lou Yueqing didn't know how to explain it, so she simply didn't explain, "You don't care, in short, this time I go back, no matter what the result is, I don't want anything to happen to the two of you!"
She has known Nangong Yuan for many years, and she followed Ning Xuan to Nangong Yuan as a guest before she was ten years old, and she has been there many times since then, although she doesn't have a good face to give him, but, in her heart, Nangong Yuan is not a stranger, so she naturally doesn't want anything to happen to him.
And Nangong Yi ......
She didn't know what to think of him, his affection, she could see that he was good to her, and she never forgot it, but so what, she had no heart before, no matter how good he was, it was useless, and now, she was in love with Rong Zhi and decided to be with Rong Zhi, then, it is even more impossible, what she can do is to cut off his mind and not give him any hope.
However, she didn't want anything to happen to him.
Nangong Yuan raised his eyebrows, but since Lou Yueqing didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask much, so he could only nod and say softly, "Well, you can rest assured, when this matter is over, you and Rong Zhi should also get married, and I will definitely come at that time!"
His Royal Highness King Hong thought so, he could be regarded as watching her grow up, this girl got married, how can she come and see it!
But when I think about it, how do I feel that he is old......
Lou Yueqing nodded happily, "Okay, don't come empty-handed when the time comes!"
Nangong Yuan: "......" is simply ......
However, he would make a joke about coming to the wedding party empty-handed!
Nangong Yuan chatted with her for a while, and seeing that it was not early, he didn't stay long, so he left.
On the second day, the envoys of Dongyou, who had been in Chu for more than half a month, returned to China, and the long procession left the post house to go outside the city, and the streets they passed through were full of onlookers.
After the team left the city, they walked for more than an hour before they reached the fork in the official road leading to Dongyou.
On the carriage, Nangong Yi sat there, keeping his eyes down and pondering, and the bottom of his eyes was obscure.
After thinking about it for a night, he still chose to return to China first, and had to go back, he knew very well that if he didn't go back, his position as the crown prince would definitely not be guaranteed, and then he would have nothing, and even his life would not be guaranteed, he would never allow such a thing to happen, if there was no Dongyou's country, what else would he use to fight for her? Rong Zhi was the king of Chu, what did he use to compete with Rong Zhi?
He wanted to see her before leaving, he had never seen her since that day of the palace banquet, although he knew that she was fine, but he still wanted to see her, but in the end, he still didn't go, he didn't know how to face it, he simply disappeared, he still chose to leave like this, and when he took the throne, he had the capital to have her!
Clenched his fists slightly, Nangong Yi gritted his teeth slightly, closed his eyes, and the pain and reluctance in his eyes were covered......
It won't be long......
"Your Highness!" Cheng Yi's voice came from outside the carriage.
He opened his eyes suddenly, his face returned to indifference, he didn't open the curtain, but asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Yi was silent outside for a moment, but still said in a low voice, "Someone wants to see you!"
Hearing this, Nangong Yi twisted his eyebrows slightly, someone wants to see him?
"Who?"
"Yes...... It's the county lord of Qingyan!"
Nangong Yi's face changed slightly......
Lou Yueqing has been waiting for about an hour.
She stood on the top of a mountain not far from the fork, the mountain was not high, but she could clearly see that the team of the envoys of Dongyou was driving over the official road at the foot of the mountain not far away, a long line, walking very slowly, she had been watching.
When Nangong Yi came up, he saw her standing there quietly with her back to him, looking at the convoy that was still moving forward at the foot of the mountain.
He didn't stop the convoy from moving forward, but he rode up alone to meet her, and he could catch up with her later.
Staring at her for a moment, he didn't even step forward, just looked at her quietly.
The last time I saw her, it was in the Chu Palace, in Rong Zhi's arms, she was unconscious, since then, more than ten days have passed, he has not seen her again, she was in the Regent's Palace, he was recuperating from his injuries, and after he got better, he wanted to see her many times to see how she was, but she was no longer in the city, and everything interfered, so he still couldn't see her, knowing that she was fine, he could rest assured, and now she was standing there, but he didn't know what to say.
He had already decided not to see her, and when he returned to China and dealt with the affairs there, he would come to her......
pondered for a moment, and just as he was hesitating whether to walk over, Lou Yueqing turned around and looked at him with a calm face.
Nangong Yi could only walk over.
She was silent, but she didn't speak, and her faint smile made him lose his mind slightly.
Before, she had never given him any smile, as if she couldn't smile, so her smile made him stunned for a long time, and he came back to his senses when his voice sounded.
She said, "Have a safe trip!"
The tone was calm, but sincere, and she wished him well.
Nangong Yi paused, and then, he asked softly, "Yue'er, are you willing to go to Dongyou with me?"
Lou Yueqing looked stunned, then smiled faintly, and replied slowly, "I don't want to!"
Even though I already knew this answer, I still couldn't help it and felt a little lost.
After the loss, back to normal, he twisted his eyebrows and asked lightly, "But what if I have to marry you?"
This woman is what he has wanted from the beginning, he has lost once, how can he be willing to lose it now?
How could he be willing to let his loved ones stay with other men for the rest of their lives?
Lou Yueqing still smiled lightly and said, "I don't want to, no one can force me!"
In this world, no one can force her to do what she doesn't want to do, and no one can stop her from doing what she wants to do.
Therefore, she doesn't want to marry Nangong Yi, it's useless for anyone to force her, she wants to be with Rong Zhi, and it's useless for anyone to object.
When Nangong Yi heard this, he didn't speak, but looked at her quietly, his eyes were very complicated.
Immediately, he asked, "What if I let you do it willingly?"
He was reluctant to do this, what he wanted was her heart, how could he force her.
Lou Yueqing's expression paused slightly, then turned slightly, looked at the overlapping peaks in the distance, pulled the corners of her mouth, seemed to smile a little bitterly, and said quietly, "Willingly...... In this world, the only person who can make me willing to be with him for the rest of my life is him......"
Except for Rong Zhi, there will be no one who can make her affectionate, and there will be no one who is more worthy of her true affection than Rong Zhi.
Before meeting Rong Zhi, she never thought that she would be tempted in this life, nor did she think about getting married, which was out of reach for her.
However, when I met him, everything changed......
When Nangong Yi heard this, the corners of her eyes shrank suddenly, and she looked at her with some surprise, and for a while, she didn't know how to speak......
"So ......" Lou Yueqing turned to look at him, her face was calm, and she said softly, "I will only marry him in my life!"
Nangong Yi looked at her quietly, and felt a tingling pain in his heart for her refusal without hesitation, he twisted his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "Yue'er, in your heart, have you ever had me?"
In the past three years, hasn't she ever had a trace of heart? He didn't believe it.
"No!" she replied calmly.
Nangong Yi frowned, obviously not believing this answer.
How could there be no ......
Lou Yueqing tugged at the corners of her mouth, looked at him and said lightly, "Don't expect anything from me, I can't afford it, and I don't want to hurt you, so after returning to Dongyou, forget about me!"
After saying that, she didn't stay any longer and left slowly......
On the top of the mountain, only Nangong Yi was left......
And she, already gone, did not make any stops, and just disappeared from his sight.
Nangong Yi stood where she was standing, looking at the official road at the foot of the mountain not far away, her carriage slowly drove in the direction of Chu Jing, gradually moving away......
With his fists clenched, Nangong Yi looked at the carriage with deep eyes, concentrating......
Forgotten?
How is it possible?
Nangong Yi stood there, Twilight staring firmly in the direction of the carriage until the horse disappeared from sight, then he turned away and rode after the convoy......
Lou Yueqing did not return to Beijing, but went to Duanmu Hanxi.
I didn't stay long at Duanmu Xixi's place, I had lunch with her, and chatted for a while before going back.
However, before the carriage could reach the city gates, the carriage was stopped.
It's Xue Zhen.
Lou Yueqing frowned, and was about to ask why he was here, when Xue Zhen immediately said urgently, "County Lord, Qingning County Lord is dying, she wants to see you!"
When Lou Yueqing heard this, her brain banged, and her face suddenly changed......
When Lou Yueqing arrived at the Regent's Mansion, the county lord of Qingning was almost dying, her eyes were lying on the bed in a daze, her breath was weak, the whole person looked lifeless, and her consciousness had slowly dissipated......
She's holding on to her breath.
In addition to the eldest princess and Aunt Hua in the house, there are also a few maids of the county lord of Qingning, which is Rong Zhi.
He sat quietly on the edge of the bed, his face expressionless, looking at the eyes of the county lord of Qingning who were still trembling even though his eyes were closed, as if he had no emotion, and his deep and boundless eyes were full of grief.
The hand that was placed aside had already been clenched into a fist, trembling faintly......
And the eldest princess, lying on the edge of the bed and holding Qingning's hand tightly, sobbed in a low voice, and endured not crying, however, the tears on her face showed that she was grief-stricken at this time.
Aunt Hua stood aside, her face was also full of grief, tears raining down, but she bit her lip and didn't let herself cry.
When Lou Yueqing arrived, what she saw was such a scene.
She paused there, looking at the scene in the room, just opposite Rong Zhi's eyes that looked up at her, from Rong Zhi's eyes, Lou Yueqing saw the sadness and heartache hidden in his eyes under his seemingly calm face.
She walked over and looked at the lifeless Lord of Qingning on the bed......
Seeing her coming, the eldest princess hurriedly choked up at the county lord of Qingning and said, "Yun'er, Qingyan is here, don't you have something to say to her?"
Hearing the voice, his eyes, which had been trembling slightly, moved slightly, and the county lord of Qingning slowly opened his eyes, his breath was like a gossamer, his head moved, and when he saw her, his pale lips moved slightly......
"Qingyan ......" She was calling Lou Yueqing, her voice was very small, if she didn't listen carefully, she couldn't hear it at all.
But her hand was slowly raised, trembling slightly and pointing at Lou Yueqing.
Knowing what the county lord of Qingning meant, the eldest princess moved aside slightly, and was helped to stand up by the maid kneeling on the side.
Lou Yueqing approached the edge of the bed, slowly squatted down, looked at her, and said in a low voice, "Lord ...... Qingning County."
His pale lips tugged, as if he was laughing, and he whispered slowly, "You're here......"
Lou Yueqing only felt that her nose was a little sour, pursed her lips slightly, and nodded.
"It's so good......" She pulled the corners of her mouth, her eyes moved, and she turned to Rong Zhi, who was sitting next to Lou Yueqing, who seemed to be calm but actually enduring grief.
His eyes shone slightly, and a line of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, soaking in his sideburns......
Turning her gaze to Lou Yueqing, she said quietly, "Qingyan ......"
Lou Yueqing looked at her busily and waited for the following.
"You call me...... Call me sister...... Okay, okay?" When she said this, she looked very struggling, but she looked at Lou Yueqing with expectant eyes.
Call her sister, just like Rong Zhi, call her sister......
Lou Yueqing was stunned, and then felt that the corners of her eyes were a little moist, she didn't hesitate any longer, the corners of her mouth pulled slightly, and she called softly, "Sister!"
The county lord of Qingning smiled.
Although, she regretted that she couldn't see Rong Zhi and Lou Yueqing's wedding, but now, there are fewer regrets......
With a stupid smile, she said quietly, "I'm ...... today." Very...... Very happy......"
When she was alive, she was never happy, but now, when she is dying, she feels more relieved than ever.
Lou Yueqing bit her lip, looked away slightly, and endured not letting herself shed tears.
Turning his head, he saw that although Rong Zhi's face was calm, his face was a little trembling, and he was gritting his teeth and enduring.
Meeting her eyes, Rong Zhi did not hide the sadness in his eyes.
The county lord of Qingning is the relative he cares about the most.
The hand of the county lord of Qingning moved slightly, and Lou Yueqing hurriedly turned her head to look at her.
The county lord of Qingning whispered with some difficulty, "I...... I beg you...... Please......
After a pause, she nodded, "You ...... you?"
She thought, no matter what the county lord of Qingning asked, she would agree.
The corner of the Qingning County Lord's eyes shrank, and the hand held by Lou Yueqing also moved slightly, as if he was struggling to speak slowly, "For a lifetime...... Be with ...... Accompany him...... Don't leave him...... No...... Don't let him be left alone...... Alone......"
Immediately, she looked at Lou Yueqing fixedly and said, "Answer...... Promise me ......"
Lou Yueqing paused, looking at the pleading and expectation in the eyes of the county lord of Qingning, she gritted her teeth, and then, she did not refuse.
"I promise you!"
Hearing Lou Yueqing's words, the county lord of Qingning smiled again, but tears were flowing from the corners of his eyes......
The hand moved, as if to be raised, Lou Yueqing let go of her hand, only to see her looking in the direction of Rong Zhi, her hand was slightly raised towards Rong Zhi, because of the difficulty, her arm kept trembling.
Rong Zhi hurriedly stretched out his hand and held her, "Sister......"
She exerted all her strength, held Rong Zhi's hand, and said intermittently, "Promise...... Promise me...... Live well...... Alive...... Uh......"
After saying this sentence with all her might, her body trembled and her eyes widened......
Immediately, her eyes drooped, and the hand holding Rong Zhi softened, and she didn't react......
The eldest princess's voice of collapse and despair sounded, "Yun'er...... Uh...... "My body was weak and I collapsed directly.
Aunt Hua covered her mouth and burst into tears, knelt down, and wept......
The cries of several maids rang out, and their voices were mournful.
Lou Yueqing quietly looked at the face of the county lord of Qingning, with a deep sadness in her eyes, but she did not shed tears, and then she looked up at him.
Rong Zhi looked at the unresponsive face of the county lord of Qingning very calmly, still holding the hand of the county lord of Qingning in one hand, trembling faintly, and lowering his eyes, so he couldn't see any emotion on his face.
If you don't look closely, you may think that he is not sad at all, but Lou Yueqing can feel his grief at the moment......
Lou Yueqing stretched out his hand, covering the back of his hand holding the hand of the county lord of Qingning, and tightened it slightly.
After that, he only had her......
The death of the county lord of Qingning soon spread......
For this royal lord who has never been married until death, people in Beijing will not be unfamiliar, she is the proud daughter of the sky, the only child of King Kun and the late Princess Kun, but because of the eldest princess's careful upbringing and the favor of the first emperor, the status of the royal family is not ordinary, even if she has rarely appeared in Beijing in recent years, but because the regent cares about her extraordinarily, the people in Beijing have not forgotten this withdrawn county lord.
Now, the sudden news of his death is naturally shocking.
At the same time, the Royal Palace.
In the Zhangde Palace, the Empress Dowager Yuan was talking to Princess Zhaoqi.
Princess Zhaoqi has been much quieter since she was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion last time, and at this moment, she is sitting opposite the Empress Dowager Yuan and quietly listening to the teachings of the Empress Dowager Yuan, without saying a word.
The Empress Dowager Yuan has always been partial to this daughter, and after what happened last time, she was also extremely helpless, so she could only train her well so that she would make fewer mistakes in the future.
His mouth was dry, and he was about to drink the tea on the side.
Wang Wei hurriedly walked in, his face was very eager.
"Queen Mother, something happened ......"
Empress Dowager Yuan's face sank suddenly, and she was slightly displeased, "Just say anything well, what kind of system do you have to be in a panic?"
She was already in a nervous mood, and she was even more unhappy when she saw Wang Wei in such a hurry, not to mention, Wang Wei has always been steady, what can make her anxious like this.
Wang Wei confessed, "The slave should die, the queen mother is angry!"
His face turned pale, "What's wrong?"
"There is news from outside the palace, the county lord of Qingning ...... Dead!"
Empress Dowager Yuan was stunned for a moment, the teacup in her hand trembled, and she asked with some uncertainty, "You...... Who are you talking about?" with a hint of nervousness.
Wang Wei gritted his teeth, but still repeated, "The county lord of Qingning is dead!"
"Bang!" There was a sound, and the Empress Dowager Yuan's hand fell off from her hand and smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces......
Empress Dowager Yuan's face turned pale......
Seeing this, Princess Zhaoqi was hurriedly startled, "Queen Mother......"
And Aunt Yuan Lan looked at the Empress Dowager Yuan with some worry, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her trembling body.
Empress Dowager Yuan muttered with a dejected face, "Dead...... Dead ......"
My body trembled a little......
Aunt Yuanlan hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother's Day mourns......"
Empress Dowager Yuan came back to her senses, immediately stood up, looked at Wang Wei and gritted her teeth and asked. "What the hell is going on?"
Obviously he has survived for so many years, how could he suddenly die?
Wang Wei hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't know, I only know that the county lord of Qingning disappeared in the regent palace half an hour ago, and now it has spread!"
Empress Dowager Yuan stumbled, but fortunately, Aunt Yuan Lan helped her and did not fall.
"The Queen Mother's ......"
Princess Zhaoqi stepped forward to help her, but when she saw Empress Dowager Yuan like this, she frowned......
Empress Dowager Yuan muttered in a lost voice, "Yun'er......"
Yun'er ......
A cloud, but I don't know which Yun'er is calling......
Choked a few times, Empress Dowager Yuan closed her eyes slightly, and a line of tears slipped down......
I haven't seen it for so many years, and I don't dare to see it, and now, I'm dead like this......
In her life, her hands were stained with blood, but she had never felt guilty, however, she felt guilty about this niece.
Now, just like that......
The Empress Dowager Yuan received the news here, and the emperor naturally received it too.
Rong Yan has never left the Xuanwen Hall since that day, and after the recuperation of Old Lady Chen, his body has been better.
At this moment, he was flipping through the book in his hand and reading it carefully, while Concubine Xue was peeling a plate of oranges on the table for him on the other side of the soft couch, with elegant and leisurely movements.
Suddenly hearing the news of the death of the county lord of Qingning, Rong Yan's movements paused for a long time, but there was no reaction.
It took him a long time before he came back to his senses, and just asked lightly, "Where is the body now?"
Father-in-law Shunde hurriedly said, "It is said that he is still in the Regent's Palace!"
Rong Yan was silent again, then closed his eyes slightly, took a heavy breath, and then opened his eyes and said lightly, "I already know, go out!"
Father-in-law Shunde was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't say anything more.
As soon as he went out, Rong Yan leaned quietly on the soft couch, his eyes down and he was silent.
Concubine Xue already felt strange, but now it is even stranger, but she also knows that she shouldn't ask too much, so she just said softly, "The emperor mourns!"
Rong Yan came back to his senses when he heard the sound and hummed softly.
"However, the concubine didn't understand, why the emperor seemed to care about this county lord, and His Royal Highness the regent also ......" paused, Concubine Xue didn't know how to continue.
The last time I watched His Royal Highness the Prince Regent enter the palace with a woman, she was very puzzled at first, and then asked the palace to know that she was the daughter of Prince Kun, that is, the niece of the Queen Mother, the emperor's cousin and cousin.
Anyway, the identity is extremely noble, although there is no princess title, but the princess is respected.
However, it is puzzling that His Royal Highness the Lord Regent is so......
I have heard that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has an indifferent personality before, and I have seen it many times, and it is indeed the same, and it is only very different to the county lord of the Ningguo Mansion, but it is also very good for this cousin......
Rong Yan was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Concubine Xue, and said slowly, "Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it!"
Concubine Xue was stunned, then nodded hurriedly, "Concubine knows!"
Then I remembered that this was not something she should be pondering.
Rong Yan didn't say much, but he didn't have the heart to read anymore, so he put down the book, stood up, slowly walked to the door of the palace, stood under the door and looked at the direction of the Regent's Mansion, and stood quietly for a long time.
Looking at the back, a little lonely,
