Chapter 314, Bad News
Happiness is always short-lived, and before Mu Chenxue was happy, King Qing's Mansion received a letter from Youzhou, Princess Qing had died suddenly a month ago. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info?n?? e?n?`or?g
"How so? My mother has always been in good health, and in the last two months, she sent a message saying that everything is fine! How could it be, how could it be that people died of illness in just one month, no, I don't believe it! Nangong Xun looked at the letter in his hand and looked disbelieving.
"Xun'er, go and prepare, pick up your mother, take your mother's coffin into Beijing!" The deceased is gone, and whatever grudges there are, they are all gone away at this moment. Qing Wang Ye sighed, glanced at the concubine, and then patted the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the study. After all, they have been married for many years, even if they don't have true love, they have been together for so many years, and even if they raise a dog, they have already developed feelings.
"Whew~!" Nangong Xun sat down on the chair dejectedly and looked at his younger brother weakly. If it weren't for his younger brother's insistence, he would have taken his mother to Beijing a long time ago. If it weren't for his younger brother, his father wouldn't have been reluctant to see his mother. Everything is because of him, without him, their family would not be separated forever, and he didn't even see his mother for the last time.
In the eyes of others, my mother may not be a good person, but she loves herself so much, but what have you done, for the sake of brotherhood, she abandoned her mother and let her stay in Youzhou alone, and now because of a cold, he gave his life, how unfilial he is.
Nangong Xun looked at Nangong Shumo's eyes, at first he was just powerless, but later, his eyes slowly became colder and colder, and even showed a trace of anger and hatred. Mu Chenxue's heart tightened, it seems that their two brothers are only afraid that because of the sudden death of Princess Qing, this time it is really going to come to an end.
Nangong Shumo also felt the change in his brother's eyes, but he didn't say anything, he didn't have a trace of regret about Princess Qing's death, at least after the incident, he left Princess Qing's life and let her live, so he had no regrets.
The two brothers sat in the study and were relatively speechless, Mu Chenxue sat quietly on the side, she didn't move, she didn't even move her eyebrows, she was waiting, waiting for any of them to speak first, this is a knot that belongs to their brothers, not something she can solve.
And if she speaks out at this time, it will make Nangong Xun hate Nangong Shumo even more.
Nangong Xun didn't know how long he had been sitting, and he felt that his farts ~ were all sitting on the wood, so he got up and walked out. He didn't look at his brother again, nor did he say another word.
"Hey!" Seeing Nangong Xun leave like this, Mu Chenxue sighed, got up and walked in front of Nangong Shumo, leaning his head into his arms, "Brother Feng, brother is just lost for a while, don't be sad!" ”
"I'll wait until he's willing to look at me again. Wait until he is willing to accept me as a brother! Whenever I do, I'll treat him as a brother! Nangong Shumo hugged his wife's waist tightly, and tears dripped down the corners of his eyes. In all these years, he has never been so sad as he is today. One less of his relatives.
"Yes, my brother will definitely figure it out!" Mu Chenxue used her body temperature to warm Nangong Shumo.
Three months later, the prince of the county, Nangong Xun, returned to Beijing and placed Princess Qing in the ancestral tomb as the wife of King Qing. It can be regarded as the fulfillment of her wish before her death. Nangong Shumo and Mu Chenxue live in the palace these days and help with the funeral.
In the palace, the emperor looked at the dragon guard and listened to him report on the affairs outside the palace. "This second young lady of Qingwangfu is too smart to stay by the side of this child, otherwise it will become a disaster sooner or later!"
I don't know why the emperor said this, although this Duchess of Zhenguo is different from ordinary women, but in his opinion, she is just a businesswoman. She is not the only woman who knows how to do business in Wu Kingdom. But this is the emperor's decision, even if he doesn't understand, he doesn't dare to question.
"Go and preach the message! It's time to calm down these days when Jingzhong is in chaos! The emperor waved his hand and ordered the chief steward around him to deliver the holy decree.
An incense case has been placed in King Qing's mansion, and King Qing took everyone in the mansion to change into formal clothes and knelt down to receive the order.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, King Qing has both ability and political integrity, sympathy for the holy will, and is a model for the princes. ……。 Remembering his excellent and capable work, sympathetic to his young widow, he gave the daughter of the household department Shangshu as his step-room. The wife of his concubine Nangong Shumo, who was born from a humble background, was difficult to control the example of Mrs. Command, and was demoted to Mrs. Sanpinshu, and gave the daughter of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu as her stepmother. Chin this! ”
There are two holy decrees in total, one is that the emperor took a fancy to King Qing and gave the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu to King Qing. And another holy decree is to degrade his wife to a concubine, and demote her from the main room to a concubine. Qing Wang Ye thanked the saint and got up to accept the order. But Nangong Shumo lowered his head and refused to receive the order to thank him.
Mu Chenxue sighed, kowtowed, and then Baoru helped her to stand up slowly, and first bowed to the eunuch who passed the decree, "Lord Governor, the prince of Zhenguo was overjoyed for a while, since the holy decree is for the courtiers, I wonder if the courtiers can receive the decree on behalf of the husband?" ”
After speaking, he took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his body and quietly stuffed it into the hand of the eunuch.
"Mrs. Shu is polite, the slave heard that the Lord Zhenguo has always been in bad health, Xu was shocked by this happy event, and Mrs. Shu accepted the order on her behalf, which is not a loss of manners!" None of the eunuchs understood people, and it could be seen that this Zhenguo Gong clearly intended to resist the order. Fortunately, this degraded lady is still reasonable, this errand is thankless, and now he can get a thousand taels of silver, how dare he deliberately make things difficult, and hurriedly handed over the holy decree, and Chaoqing said two words, that is, he left with people.
Nangong Xun has been watching all this coldly, after his mother was buried in the ground, his hatred for his second brother was not as painful as when he first got the news, but he still couldn't face him. But today, seeing that the second brother dared to openly resist the decree for the sake of his beloved, I felt a little more admiration in my heart.
Nangong Shumo's eyes were a little bloodshot, he didn't accept the order because he didn't want to see his beloved woman wronged, even if it was to resist the order, even if it was death, he didn't care. He got up abruptly and rushed out.
"Brother Feng!" Mu Chenxue took a step forward and hugged the person from behind, "Don't go, the emperor pointed out to my father the daughter of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu in charge of King Xuan, and pointed out to you the daughter of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu in charge of King Jing, which is clearly to make my father the crown prince." We've worked so hard for so long, aren't we just for this day? If you openly resist the decree, don't say it's you and me, even the entire Qingwang Mansion will be buried with you. Are you willing to watch your whole family die because of you? ”
Mu Chenxue has never been so strict with Nangong Shumo, even if the two had a small dispute before, she has never said a word heavy, but today she has to say it, she can't help but say it. She knew how much Nangong Shumo cared about her, and it was precisely because she cared that he would lose his mind when he was at the mercy of the emperor.
Even if it is not for the crown prince of Qing Wangye, even if it is not for the life and death of the people of this mansion, she still hopes that Nangong Shumo can live well. As for her position, she doesn't care, she really doesn't. (To be continued.) )
