1402. Chapter 1402: Nangong Jinhong and Pei Yuanxiu

"Do you still think that the rebel is not your father?"

Hearing this, Nangong Lizhu seemed to have been punched in the chest, and the whole person froze, but she didn't refute me immediately, but gasped for a long time, grabbed the corner of her clothes with her other hand, and said in a deep voice: "No!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It won't be his!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"The people who rebelled were all traitors and thieves, if it wasn't him, he wouldn't do it!"

I looked at her calmly, "Why do you think he wouldn't do that?"

Nangong Lizhu turned her head to look at me, I could see tears in her eyes, almost dripping down, but she insisted on refusing to cry, but her voice was already dyed with crying: "I'm still in the palace!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"If you commit a rebellion, you will be beheaded all over the house, but I am still in the palace. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Did he even ignore my life by doing this?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I don't believe it, I don't believe my father would do this! He can't even care about his daughter's life, and the person who committed the trouble will definitely not be his!"

By the time she reached her last sentence, tears had already fallen.

Seeing her like this, I was originally full of words, but I was also infected with a trace of bitterness, I opened my mouth and couldn't say it.

Actually, I want to sue her that you are wrong.

Nangong Jinhong did not completely ignore her life and death, it was precisely because of her life and death that until now, under the "city", Jixian Hall has been completely surrounded by them, but he has not yet seen the true body of this military department Shangshu appear.

He is to protect Nangong Lizhu.

And I have been wondering before, why these people did not play the slogan of King Qin's escort when they entered the Xuanwu Gate, but when they had already surrounded the Jixian Hall and could already wipe us out, they did not take military action immediately, but played the banner of King Qin's escort.

My suspicion is that there are differences of opinion within them, and the biggest disagreement is on how to deal with me and Nangong Lizhu.

Someone must be killed, and someone must be protected.

Moreover, just now, in the words of that Lin Gongzi, a very important message was revealed, their method of dealing with me and Nangong Lizhu was not the same as the treatment of the "Evil Demons" in the past dynasties, not to kill, but to expel them!

That is, they have already decided, not to kill us!

I slowly walked to Nangong Lizhu's side, squatted down and looked at her eyes, those autumn eyes were really soaked with tears now, and they looked more and more pitiful, I sighed lightly, and then said: "Actually, you should have realized something a long time ago, you have feelings." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Otherwise, you won't come out to help me when Fang Zhijun and them are embarrassed for me, and you won't stay in Yihua Palace all the time to accompany him. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You said that you would die with him, do you really have such a premonition, right?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You know, we're going to die today. ”

At this moment, she didn't even dare to look at me, only tears kept dripping from her eyes.

I know, she acquiesced.

I let out a long sigh.

Then, I said softly: "Your hunch is mostly right, but there is one thing you are mistaken. ”

She looked at me with wide eyes, but looking at the tears overflowing in her eyes, I also knew that I must be distorted in her vision at this moment, just like the chaotic situation at this moment, her feelings were obviously a little confused, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We are not going to die today. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Your father is protecting you and me. ”

She looked at me in disbelief, and shook her head: "No." If he really is guilty of trouble, how can it be?"

I knew that she was completely messed up, so I sighed and said calmly: "I don't know exactly what his purpose is, but it won't be the 'King Qin' as those people say." One thing you are right about is that if he really committed a rebellion, and you are still in the palace, no matter what, you must be dead. ”

She winced visibly.

I continued, "So, he hasn't shown up. It was the son of the Marquis of Jin who attacked the Xuanwu Gate, as well as Yuan Mingde. ”

She hurriedly said, "Then how can you say that he is also one of those people." ”

I said, "Because after they entered the palace, they went to Yihua Palace." ”

Nangong Lizhu was stunned.

I said, "I just asked a few little palace maids who ran out of the inner palace, and she told me that Yihua Palace has been occupied. Being able to accurately find the location of Yihua Palace in so many palaces in the harem is not something that Yuan Mingde and Gongsun Qi can do. ”

This is also the focus of our previous debate when we were in Yihua Palace.

Nangong Lizhu trembled, tears fell one after another, like a child waking up from a nightmare, she looked up at me suddenly, and said, "Even if someone guides them to Yihua Palace, it may not be my father!"

I said calmly, "But other people don't care if you live or die." ”

She looked at me with wide eyes.

I said, "The terms they just negotiated with me were that they wanted me and you, but they didn't want to kill us, they wanted to expel us. Don't you understand what that means?"

She seemed to have forgotten to shake her head, and only looked at me in amazement.

I sighed and said, "As soon as they entered the palace, they had already been guided by a person, originally, they could directly occupy Yihua Palace, find the emperor, and also capture the two of us; Jixian Hall is not a place to defend at all, to attack, just one fire is enough, we all have to burn here. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"But they didn't, not only did they not, but they were willing to negotiate with us. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"The regulation they negotiated was not an edict of the emperor, nor did it even involve any other officials, but just the two of us. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"So, do you understand?"

I squatted in front of her and said word by word: "The reason why they didn't storm in was because they were afraid that they would accidentally hurt the people they wanted to protect, so they didn't move, and they negotiated with me to want the two of us to live." As long as we leave the Jixian Hall one by one, the people in this place will not let them have any scruples. ”

Nangong Lizhu seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles in her heart at this moment, and she was in pain, but there was no way to call for help, I could only see the hand on her hand grasping Pei Yuanhao's hand tighter, because it was too hard, the finger bones made a gratifying sound.

I looked her in the eye and said, "Now, you sue me for something." ”

She looked at me.

I said, "When did your father, Lord Nangong Jinhong, collude with Pei Yuanxiu?"
