Chapter VI: Chambers of Resistance

At the same time, in the big tent where Chen was located, someone quietly visited. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Your Highness. "Needless to say, it's Tamar.

Chen glanced out of the tent before retracting his gaze. Seeing this, Tamar said:

"The slave was very careful, and no one followed. ”

Chen Wenyan nodded and spoke:

"How's it going?"

"According to His Royal Highness, the slave maid arranged for someone to mention the name of 'Nandong' when he walked by the eldest prince, and whispered to each other, leading the eldest prince to speculate about what interesting customs and customs were recorded in the documents that Princess Ru brought back to China. But the slave doesn't understand, what is the purpose of His Highness's this?"

"Because I mixed in an old manuscript of books and documents in the library last night. The number of light skills of the Yuan family recorded in the book will be the best proof of my identity as 'Nanying'. ”

"Then the eldest prince will become His Royal Highness's 'human witness'. But how does His Royal Highness understand the light skills of the Yuan family?"

"Coincidentally, ten years ago, when Princess Gong of the Lonely Kingdom sneaked into the palace of Yiguo to assassinate Emperor Jinghuang, Yuan Jiutian appeared to escort him, and the whole process of fighting with Princess Gong happened in front of my eyes, on the eaves opposite Xiuxi's dormitory. We heard that Princess Gong asked Yuan Jiutian to raise Nanying, so at that time I already knew that Nanying's cousin had the same experience as me. Also watched the pace of Yuan Jiutian's amazing skills, Xiuxi only remembered two or three out of ten, while I remembered eight or nine out of ten. After that, Xiuxi often imitated Yuan Jiutian and overcame the psychological fear of the enemy in a narrow area such as the roof of the hanging mountain, and I secretly learned Yuan Jiutian's light skills in case of emergency. ”

"His Royal Highness has been in obscurity for many years, just to seek justice in person today. ”

"Count the hours, Mushroom is probably already reporting to the emperor to invite merit, and I have to play the role of 'Southern Shadow' well. ”

"Slaves and maids should not stay for a long time, so they should retire first. Your Highness is careful. ”

"Hmm. ”

Soon after Tama left, the guards sent by the Emperor Xian to invite the "Nandong" really rushed over, and Chen readily agreed, followed the guards, and arrived at the Emperor's tent in a short time.

"See the Emperor. I have seen the eldest prince, the fifth prince, and the little prince of Zuoqiu. Chen glanced at everyone and said carefully.

"You're welcome. Emperor Xian stared at Chen for a moment, and then said, "I heard about something just now, and I am really confused in my heart, I wonder if Nandong can solve my confusion?"

"Although the emperor asked, he knew everything. ”

"A few days ago, you paid homage to my imperial sister Princess Ru?"

"Yes. Chen replied briefly.

"You and the imperial sister are old acquaintances?"

"Princess Ru is the first queen of the night country, and below is the people of the night country, and it is human nature to pay homage to the old master. ”

This is not true. Emperor Xian shook his head slowly and said, "Didn't you say that you 'know everything' about me?"

"What does the emperor want to hear?" Chen did not answer the rhetorical question.

"There are no outsiders here, I want you to answer. The royal sister is not just what you call 'the old master' to you, is she?"

Chen Ying looked at the emperor's deep eyes, his eyes darkened a little, and after being silent for a while, he said half-truthfully:

"Yes, I am from the royal family, and I can only save my life because I can't tolerate my brothers. After the death of Master, it became more and more difficult to defend against open guns and hidden arrows, and even if I had the heart to seek refuge in the royal court, there was really no credible person to talk to. I've been waiting for the right moment. ”

"You are my nephew, and the royal court is your dependence. I will send troops to help you reclaim the throne whenever you want. Our uncle and nephew join forces, and we are bound to be invincible. ”

Nanying thanked his uncle. For the first time, Chen called himself "Nanying", and said solemnly to Emperor Xian, "The matter of the Night Kingdom can be discussed later, for today, please ask my uncle to keep the secret of Nanying's whereabouts, hide it from Emperor Luo, and leave a little time for me to think about the future path." ”

"I won't be making today's events public anytime soon, only I and a few of them know about it, so you don't have to worry. Emperor Xian said, looking around at the three of them, including Rong Rong, Xun Qi, and Zuo Qiu Yu.

"Now that the identity of Nanying's cousin has been confirmed, of course we won't do anything harmful to you. She looked directly at Chen and said, "Welcome my cousin back to the royal court, and we will have to take more care of each other in the future." ”

"Thank you, Great Prince. Chen arched his hand.

"Eh, do you still call me 'Great Prince'?" said Mushroom unabashedly and almost with the "Southern Shadow" set.

"It's thanks to the 'big brother'. Chen chuckled, intentionally or unintentionally aggravated his tone on the three words "eldest brother", and said silently in his heart, is it indeed "eldest brother"......

"Congratulations to my father and Nanying for recognizing each other, from now on the royal court is Nanying's home, and our brothers support each other to calm the world for our father. Xun Qi also said carefully, which not only caters to the psychology of the emperor to expand the territory, but also reveals the meaning of winning over the "Southern Shadow".

Although Zuo Qiu Yu did not speak, he also bowed his head on the side to express his agreement.

"That's a good point. Emperor Xian was happy from his heart, and said with a smile, "After all, the young man is heroic, and it is not expected for my steppe iron hooves to set foot on the southern country." ”

Xun Qi saw that Emperor Xian was in a good mood, and was about to take the opportunity to ask for forgiveness for Zuo Qiu Yu, but was preemptively spoken by Rong Rong, who was always watching his every move:

"Father, the son said that the report to you is good news, and it is really true, right? With Nanying's cousin here, something like last night will definitely not happen again, and my father will definitely be safe in the royal court. ”

Emperor Xian listened to the words of the mushroom, remembered the conclusion that Zuo Qiu Yu had not yet reported, so he turned his eyes to Zuo Qiu Yu and said:

"How about you promise to give me an explanation?"

"The accident on the stage is indeed that Yu was not cautious enough and did not consider the influence of the weather in advance, and the shed board was squeezed and cracked. Yu is responsible for this matter, even if the emperor is unharmed, Yu is still uneasy and asks himself to bear it. "It's inevitable that it should come, Zuo Qiu Yu was prepared, and said calmly.

"I have always trusted you, and I have left the security affairs of the royal court to you with full responsibility, this time you don't investigate for a while, almost causing a catastrophe, I naturally can't help but give you a punishment. ”

When Emperor Xian's words fell, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Xun Qi was secretly anxious. Emperor Xian has always taboo the royal family and courtiers are very close, although Zuo Qiu Yu is the imperial family, but in this case, if Xun Qi intercedes, it is partiality, and not interceding is a big blow to himself and Zuo Qiu Yu.

Nanying took in the expressions of Mushroom and Xun Qi on the side, and did not fluctuate too much in his heart, but remained very calm: The power of Xun Qi and Zuo Qiu Yu must be reduced, but he has just been in it, trying to help Mushroom to achieve a balance between the two sides, and then waiting for an opportunity to lay out the situation in the middle. Let's reserve a little strength for Xun Qi. Thinking of this, Chen suddenly spoke:

"Uncle think twice, don't be punished heavily. Today, my uncle and Nanying recognize each other, which is a happy thing, and if there is any blame, Nanying is willing to share it for his cousin. ”

"Since it's Nanying's opinion, I can't save your face. Emperor Xian thought a little in his mind, and then said, "Zuo Qiu Yu will be exempted from Yulu for three months, and a new stage must be built for the royal court within these three months." ”

"Thank you Huangen, Yu took the order. Zuo Qiu Yu thanked and led the punishment.

"As for Nanying's willingness to share, I just have something I want to entrust to you. Emperor Xian then said.

"Uncle, please speak. ”

"I give you the right to enter and exit the royal court unimpeded, and Yu will still be responsible for the security of the royal court in the future, and you have the right to question the orders issued by Yu, and the two of you will discuss and implement major decisions together. ”

As soon as Emperor Xian's words came out, everyone was shocked. "Unimpeded access to the royal court" is a privilege that Zuo Qiu Yu does not have. With the words of the emperor today, Nanying seems to have formed a trend of confrontation with Zuo Qiu Yu.

"Nanying obeyed her uncle's will. Chen didn't show any surprise, and replied calmly and humbly as usual.

"You have just returned to the royal court, it is better to set up a tent in the royal court, and I can protect you. ”

"Thank you uncle for thinking about Nanying, but Nanying wants to live where her mother lived. Besides, Princess Ru's Mansion has always been clean, and there are no people coming and going, and Nanying is invisible enough. ”

"Well, according to what you say. Emperor Xian agreed.

~~~

At the dinner that day, Emperor Xian took the scale of the family banquet for Nanying to catch the wind, the queen, the third prince Ge Sheng, the fifth prince Xun Qi, the concubine, the eldest prince of the eldest princess, the eldest princess of Moha, the lord of Moha, the princess Mohami, the imperial sister Princess Mo, and the little prince of Zuoqiu, Zuoqiu Yu, were all seated.

After the banquet was dispersed, Chen was a little drunk, rode his horse to Princess Ru's mansion alone, gently pushed the door in, and walked straight to the side hall dedicated to Princess Ru's tablet.

"Chen Te came to ask his aunt for his guilt. Although he had said hello in front of his aunt's mound before, after all, he had received the favor he deserved on behalf of Nanying's cousin, and he didn't know where he was at the moment, and Chen always felt a little unhappy in his heart. In this world, the person who can understand Nanying's mood best is probably his nephew. If you have a home, you can't return to it, and if you have relatives, it's hard to recognize each other. Today is bright and stormy. Chen said to the emotional place, sighed heavily, and his heart was like the night outside the hall, deep and silent.
