131: Royal secrets, never forget
Cautiously avoiding the people guarding the courtyard, Lou Yueqing deftly sneaked into the house, and then ......
One big and one small, staring at each other!
"Are you...... Sister Yue?"
Someone broke into the palace, which naturally alarmed Nangong Yuan, and Nangong Yuan immediately asked the guards in the palace to search for it, and the first one to search was naturally Nangong Ya's courtyard.
Therefore, by mistake, I still saw Nangong Yuan.
Lou Yueqing suddenly appeared in Jinling, and he was still in his palace, which made Nangong Yuan unexpected, so when he saw Lou Yueqing, he was surprised.
Since it was Lou Yueqing, there was no need to continue the search, but there was such a big movement, so naturally it couldn't be stopped, so Nangong Yuan ordered the people below, pretending to catch the assassin who broke in, and threw a person into the dungeon, which suppressed the movement made by Lou Yueqing on a whim.
Nangong Yuan is so cautious, in addition to the fact that her traces should not be leaked, it also shows that the Hongwang Mansion is indeed not clean.
After dealing with this matter, Nangong Yuan turned back.
Nangong Yahao, who had been sticking to her, went to talk about it, and the room was suddenly quiet, Lou Yueqing sat at the table leisurely, looked at Nangong Yuan raised her eyebrows, and said leisurely: "It seems that there are ghosts in your mansion!"
Nangong Yuan didn't deny it, walked straight to the table, poured a glass of water and drank it.
Putting down the water glass, Nangong Yuan asked Lou Yueqing: "Didn't you go back to Chujing? Why did you go to Jinling, when did you arrive? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
Lou Yueqing looked confused, which one should she answer?
Silent, she said succinctly: "Something!"
Nangong Yuan: "......"
Seeing Nangong Yuan's face, Lou Yueqing still added kindly: "I arrived today, I heard that your side is not clean, so I didn't let people know you, sure enough, fortunately I was cautious!"
As he spoke, he looked stunned.
Nangong Yuan snorted coldly, he is still the same virtue as back then!
Lou Yueqing asked puzzledly: "But then again, since you know that there are ghosts around you, why don't you deal with it?" This is not like your style!"
Nangong Yuan led the troops at a young age, and he was famous for being strict and resolute in Dongyou, and he couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, how could he know that there were ghosts in the house and still tolerate it, this is too unusual.
Nangong Yuan was silent, sitting opposite Lou Yueqing, his eyes were silent for a long time, and then he said lightly: "Because of this, the emperor will rest assured!"
Lou Yueqing understood.
There are people in Nangong Yi in his house, if he rashly gets rid of it, it will only make Nangong Yi more jealous and suspicious, and he can't even tolerate him, so exposing everything about him in Nangong Yi's eyes can avoid a lot of trouble and make Nangong Yi feel at ease with him.
But......
She wrinkled her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you want to do this? Even if you have the heart to back down, according to your temper, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate what Nangong Yi did, but now you have endured it so far, let him suppress it step by step, what happened?"
No matter how powerful Nangong Yi is, as long as Nangong Yuan refuses to back down, it is impossible for him to take full power as he wishes, let alone take away the military power from Nangong Yuan, unless Nangong Yuan voluntarily gives in.
But why did Nangong Yuan condone Nangong Yi's toss without interfering?
Nangong Yuan's eyes crossed a different color, but it was fleeting, and while pouring himself a glass of water, he said lightly: "He is the emperor of Dongyou, the country is his, and he always has to return it to him, what's so strange?"
The corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth twitched, and she sneered: "Don't use these high-sounding words to perfunctory me, when I don't understand you?"
Nangong Yuan smiled lightly, but never spoke.
Lou Yueqing wrinkled her eyebrows and asked with a solemn face: "Nangong Yuan, tell me the truth, what happened?"
Nangong Yuan saw that Lou Yueqing's solemn face was full of care, his eyes moved slightly, he was silent for a moment, and spoke: "My mother ...... concubine"
Seeing that Nangong Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, with an obscure expression, Lou Yueqing asked urgently: "Your mother, is it Concubine Rong who has an accident?"
Nangong Yuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak, and after a while, he said: "My life experience is known by Nangong Yi!"
Lou Yueqing's eyes sank, no wonder.
Nangong Yuan's life experience, it was a scandal of the Dongyou royal family.
This matter can indeed restrain Nangong Yuan, even if Nangong Yuan doesn't care that he will be despised and spurned for this, but he can't let his mother concubine be buttoned up with that lewd hat, and her soul is restless and infamous when she dies, that is too cruel for a dead person, not to mention that it is his most beloved mother.
Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows: "How did he know?"
Nangong Yuan said: "It's Empress Dowager Zhen!"
This matter is a secret, there are not many people who know about it, most of them are dead, and the only people who can know and tell Nangong Yi about it are Empress Dowager Zhen, Nangong Yi's mother.
Lou Yueqing listened to this, pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes were slightly cold.
She knows about this matter, Nangong Yuan's father is not the first emperor of Taishang, but the first emperor of Dongyou, that is, the nominal royal brother of Nangong Yuan, and his mother Concubine Rong, the first beauty of Dongyou back then, was in love with the first emperor, but the first emperor was a lustful emperor, so he included her in the palace as a concubine, and the first emperor and Concubine Rong, the former lovers, naturally it was inevitable to break the thread, so there was Nangong Yuan, when the first emperor died, Concubine Rong was originally going to be buried in accordance with Dongyou's rules, but she escaped because she was pregnant, and this child is Nangong Yuan, the son of the first emperor, therefore, the first emperor favored the actual son of this titular younger brother。
Concubine Rong's death that year was also related to this matter, because she gave birth to Nangong Yuan, she was named a concubine and lived in the palace, but she still had a lingering relationship with the first emperor, many dead nights, the first emperor would go to Concubine Rong's palace, originally no one knew, but somehow Queen Zhen knew about it at that time, and broke into Concubine Rong's bedroom at night to catch the adulterer, there were several concubines together, the first emperor was furious, and found a reason to give those concubines to death, but Queen Zhen couldn't kill casually, the first emperor could only leave her alive and put her under house arrest。
When Concubine Rong died, Nangong Yuan was only seven years old.
Although Concubine Rong's death was a suicide, it was inseparable from Empress Dowager Zhen, and it was also to protect Nangong Yuan.
Therefore, in order to protect Concubine Rong's reputation and prevent her from being insulted and spurned by the world, Nangong Yuan did not hesitate to pay his life.
Now that he is suppressed by Nangong Yi for this, what is it compared to his mother?
Lou Yueqing looked at Nangong Yuan, whose face was gloomy and could not hide her sadness, twisted her eyebrows, gritted her teeth, and said: "Then what are you going to do? Just let Nangong Yi suppress it step by step? You must know that according to this situation, in the end, it will be your life, Nangong Yuan, he will not let you go!"
"I know!"
He knew that Nangong Yi would not let him go, if it was before, he would definitely not let others be controlled like this, but now, he has to compromise and retreat, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't let his mother and concubine die, and he will be insulted and condemned by the world, bearing the shame that will never be erased from life on his back, and his soul is uneasy.
Lou Yueqing asked sharply: "Then are you going to sit still and wait for death? Do nothing, just admit that he will be suppressed step by step, waiting for him to drive you to a dead end? Nangong Yuan, although you are not afraid of death, don't you forget, you also have a daughter, do you want her to die with you?"
At the mention of Nangong Ya, Nangong Yuan's face suddenly became cautious, he looked at Lou Yueqing fixedly, pursed his lips, and said in a sonorous tone: "I won't let anyone hurt my Ya'er!"
"But you ......"
Nangong Yuan smiled and said softly: "Xiaoyue, you are too worried, although I am restrained by Nangong Yi, I will not sit still, now I just don't want to clash with him head-on to let him toss, he wants me to die, it's not so easy!"
He Nangong Yuan has been in the Dongyou court for many years, holding military power, and has a deep foundation in the entire Dongyou, no matter how much Nangong Yi tosses, it is impossible to force him to a dead end.
He hasn't watched his Ya'er grow up, he hasn't watched her find a man who can take care of her and protect her all her life, he hasn't seen her put on a wedding dress and get married, how could he be willing to leave her alone.
Lou Yueqing snorted coldly: "You remember your words today, don't let me be caught off guard by your death one day!"
Although he doesn't like to speak, he is not annoying at all, but has a touch of care.
Nangong Yuan smiled lightly and nodded: "Don't worry!"
Lou Yueqing thought of it, and raised her eyebrows: "But then again, there is one thing I am still a little curious about, what did you do to make your princess eat inside and out, and stand on Nangong Yi's side with her mother's house?"
Nangong Yuan sneered: "You should ask, what did she do!"
What does "huh?" mean?
Nangong Yuan pondered for a moment, and only said, "She is too ambitious and restless!"
Uh, what does that mean?
Nangong Yuan didn't explain either, obviously unwilling to say much about the matter.
changed the topic and said: "You'd better leave early, don't stay in Jinling for too long, Nangong Yi has many eyes and ears, if you are found, you won't be able to leave!"
Lou Yueqing bowed: "I know!"
She didn't plan to stay too long, and she didn't plan to come to Jinling, but she didn't worry about Nangong Yuan coming to take a look, so she would leave in two days at most.
"It's good that you know it in your heart, Nangong Yi has been obsessed with you, he has been paying attention to you for the past two years, obviously he hasn't given up on you, if he knows that you are in Jinling, I'm afraid I will arrest you into the palace at any cost, and then it will be troublesome!"
Lou Yueqing frowned when she heard this, and said disapprerovingly: "You think too much, it's been so long, and doesn't he already have a pampered Shen Guifei?
She didn't think about this stubble, hiding the traces just because she didn't want to expose the traces to attract those ulterior motives to kill and avoid unnecessary trouble, but she didn't think about Nangong Yi's matter.
Moreover, it's been almost three years, Nangong Yi should have let go of her, after all, she has made it very clear, and now she has been married to Rong Zhi for almost three years, Nangong Yi is so smart, she naturally understands that it is impossible for him to be with her, if she doesn't let go of her, how can she canonize that Shen family girl and be so favored.
Nangong Yuan was noncommittal, but said lightly: "You must know that for the royal family, pampering a woman does not mean anything, he has been sending people to lurk in Chu Jing to pay attention to your movements in the past two years, and there will be people who often report him about you, no matter how big or small, it is said that there is still a portrait of you hanging in his dormitory, looking at it every day, these are not enough to explain his thoughts?"
It is enough to show that in Nangong Yi's heart, he not only loves her, but has formed an obsession, and he has to get an obsession, for which he can do whatever it takes!
