I looked at Nangong Jinhong's approaching step by step, and the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness were also very nervous, staring straight at me, I thought about it, and said with a smile: "Lord Nangong, today is the emperor's majesty banquet for hundreds of civil and military officials, it is the time for singing and dancing to promote peace, why be so tense?"

Nangong Jinhong stared at me, completely lacking the handsome and elegant atmosphere when he first met, but he was full of anger, and said: "Disobedient people, everyone will be punished!"

"Then, Lord Nangong really saw my disobedience?"

"Do you still need to watch what your Xichuan Yan family has done?"

Indeed, in the past few decades, the Xichuan Yan family has indeed been hostile to the imperial court, and if you want to talk about rebellion, you really don't need to look at it with your eyes anymore.

But I'm just waiting for his words.

I smiled and said: "Lord Nangong's words are wrong, whether the Yan family in Xichuan has disobeyed, if you don't go to see it, don't you check, you don't even have a basic understanding, just rely on the adult's words in the capital thousands of miles away, isn't it too child's play, it's ridiculous? This is really a sin that is desired, so why should there be any excuse?"

“……”

"Lord Nangong is a scholar of the military department, how can he be so hasty?"

“……”

"In doing so, how can you convince the ministers and reassure His Majesty the Emperor?"

“……”

Nangong Jinhong was robbed of white by me, and his face suddenly turned red and white. In fact, logically speaking, what he did was absolutely right, and it was expected that I, as the eldest lady of the Yan family, would be guarded against, but it became his loophole and handle when I said it clearly.

He looked up at Pei Yuanhao, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister—"

"Alright. ”

At this time, Pei Yuanhao slowly spoke, he interrupted Nangong Jinhong's words, and only raised his hand slightly: "Nangong Aiqing is just a protector, and I also know your loyalty, hurry up." ”

Nangong Jinhong got up from the ground again.

Then, he looked at me.

It's just the first confrontation, although I haven't seen a win or lose, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that I have the upper hand, and I can also think that this old minister is only afraid of hating me, but just now, although I can see that he is frowning and a little angry, but there seems to be some appreciation.

I don't know if I'm wrong.

He looked at me once, and then said: "It was true that the official was impatient just now, but I would like to ask Miss Yan, you said that there is no evidence of the Yan family's rebellion, so may I ask, in Yangzhou, who was the person who assassinated the eldest princess on the wedding night?!"

Finally, let's talk about this.

I had a feeling that my whole body was drenched in ice and snow, the blood on my face faded, leaving only my pale lips trembling slightly, and I felt that the concubines around me were looking at me with strange eyes, among them, there was also a pair of eyes, staring at me hotly, as if I saw that wherever my skin was going to be burned by him.

I took a deep breath and said calmly, "I didn't see who was doing it." ”

Nangong Jinhong smiled: "However, according to the people who attended the wedding banquet at that time, Miss Yan should have heard the murderer's confession." ”

“…… Right. ”

"Who pleaded guilty?"

Liu Qinghan. ”

The corners of Nangong Jinhong's mouth had already hooked up an irrepressible smile, and he looked at me lightly: "Then Miss Yan, do you know where Liu Qinghan came from?"

“……”

I stood on the main hall, my hands and feet were cold at the moment, and I didn't even feel the feeling of pinching my fingers, but I still squeezed it tightly, and after being silent for a long time, I opened my mouth and said loudly: "He was born in a small fishing village on the outskirts of Yangzhou, and he has been fishing for a living since he was a child; although he was born poor, he never gave up his ideals. Later, his family suffered an accident, he left his hometown to travel around, increased a lot of knowledge, but also strengthened his belief; after that, he worshiped into the Xichuan Confucian Fu Badai's door, in the Tianmu Temple to study the scriptures, learn the study of the world, when Fu Badai entered Beijing for the Jixian Hall of Bachelors, he also followed his teacher into Beijing, as the Jixian Hall of the straight bachelor, had investigated and dealt with the case of fraud in the field, but also in the eradication of the rebel Shen clan made great contributions, and later served as the Ministry of Rites. ”

I finished talking one by one, and then looked at him: "Lord Nangong wants to ask about his origin, I don't know which one to ask?"

Nangong Jinhong's face sank.

He obviously wanted to use the point that Liu Qinghan was born in Xichuan's academy to talk about things, but he didn't expect me to tell his whole life, which made him difficult to mention that point again.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was a little stiff.

I can feel it even more that Pei Yuanhao is sitting on the dragon chair, and his breath is getting heavier and heavier.

Nangong Jinhong glanced up at Pei Yuanhao, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then said: "It seems that Liu Qinghan's experience is also rich, and it is no wonder that he has so many 'backgrounds'-" He looked at me: "He can meet everywhere." ”

My face sank: "What do you mean?"

Nangong Jinhong laughed, and then said: "I heard that Liu Qinghan assassinated the eldest princess and was supposed to behead the Ming canonical punishment, but during the execution, a group of thugs suddenly appeared and rescued him. Later, I heard that they had bought a ship and went west. Miss Yan, do you know where Liu Qinghan, the murderer and criminal of the imperial court, went in the end?"

“……”

"Miss Yan probably knows a lot of things about Liu Qinghan's past, but she may not know his present and future, right? ”

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at me with a little sharp acupuncture: "Miss Yan, if the Yan family in Xichuan did not collude with Liu Qinghan, would this murderer dare to go to Xichuan? If there was no collusion, then where did Liu Qinghan's power in Xichuan come from? The Yan family actually colluded with a murderer who assassinated the eldest princess, what did they want to do, isn't this Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it?"

“……”

It seems that Nangong Jinhong is indeed not simple.

Although I don't know if my appearance tonight was expected by them, it is really not easy to combine Liu Qinghan's "assassination" and the Yan family's "rebellion" so quickly, and give me this big hat.

I couldn't help but glance back at Nangong Lizhu.

Until now, she has not moved.

Perhaps, with her father present, he has won the battle at the moment, and he really doesn't need her, a new concubine, to come out and confront me.

As if sensing my gaze, she turned her head to look at me.

But, just a glance, she had a wonderful word to look at me.

My brow immediately furrowed.

At this time, Chang Qing next to him said softly: "Yan Qingqing, do you have anything to say?"

I was stunned, raised my head to look at her, she also looked at me, and then looked at the hall, and glanced slightly: "You, do you have something to say." ”

Just now, I lost my mind.

I came back to my senses and looked at Nangong Jinhong under His Royal Highness, obviously he already had some intention of winning the battle, and even a few officials of his faction were ready to move at this moment, I guess that if I really had nothing to say, they would immediately go out of work and ask the emperor to put me in prison.

I smiled lightly, and then said: "Lord Nangong is really like a torch, and he is discerning, and everything can't escape Lord Nangong's eyes. ”

“……”

"However, Lord Nangong just said Sima Zhao's heart, then Lord Nangong knows that there is something that everyone knows, but Lord Nangong doesn't know. ”

His face changed: "What?"

I smiled and said, "Liu Qinghan did go to Xichuan, and he did have his own power in Xichuan, but does Lord Nangong know where his power comes from?"

He said, "Isn't it given by the Yan family?"

"Indeed, it was given by a person named Yan Qinghan, and that person was my cousin. ”

Nangong Jinhong's face was overjoyed, and he was about to speak, but I didn't wait for his words to come out, and said directly: "But this person has long been expelled from the Yan family, and he is not a member of the Yan family at all." ”

“……！”

He froze for a moment, staring at me with wide eyes.

I looked at him with a smile: "Lord Nangong didn't know about this?"

This matter is just a family affair of the Yan family, and it has not spread widely in the first place, and in addition to the news between the imperial court and Xichuan, it is even more impossible to know about the affairs of the Yan family.

Nangong Jinhong's expression was also a little disordered, but he was still calm, and only stared at me and said: "This matter is the business of your Yan family, you say that there is, and if you say that there is no, there will be nothing." ”

I said calmly: "Yes, this matter is indeed a family affair of the Yan family, but there are also people in the court who have been to the Yan family, and this matter should not be considered a secret, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Yanqiu slowly stood up from his seat.

He leaned over and bowed to Pei Yuanhao: "Weichen-"

Before he finished his words, Pei Yuanhao had already waved his hand gently: "Needless to say." ”

Nangong Jinhong looked at Wu Yanqiu, and then at Pei Yuanhao: "Your Majesty—"

Pei Yuanhao said: "Yan Qingqing's words are right, that Yan Qinghan has indeed been expelled from the Yan family, Wu Qing's family saw it when he was on mission to Xichuan, he can't even enter the Yan family's main house, and I have known about this for a long time." ”

“……”

This time, Nangong Jinhong's face turned completely pale.

Although Pei Yuanhao did not make a clear statement in my correspondence with him, the last sentence was almost the role of Dingqiankun, and he had reached this point, so he had nothing to say.

So, he could only bow down: "Wechen is frightened, Wechen is ashamed." ”

"Alright. Pei Yuanhao waved his hand again: "Since today is a good time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, I won't talk about these things." Sit down, all of you. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

After speaking, Nangong Jinhong, the counselor, and Wu Yanqiu, who had just stood up and didn't even have time to finish a word, all sat down again.

I sat down too.

As soon as I sat down, I felt a heat around me, and when I looked down, it was a wonderful word, somehow, leaning on my body.
