When his identity was revealed, the Quartet was in an uproar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The people in the capital say that he is not worthy of her, but how can a small guard be worthy of being the husband of the first beauty in the abyss?
He recognized his heart for the first time, and began to take it step by step, carefully calculating, just to steal one of her hearts.
Grandmother's embarrassment, uncle's greed, and even a bunch of superb relatives' concerns, An Xiaoxiao feels that the only change in her life is that there is one more him by her side.
He was the guard she picked up, and he gave him the name Agui, and he thought that she was the guardian of his life.
She is the daughter of the Houmen and has a noble status, but she is coveted and assassinated by everyone.

I always think... Something is wrong.
------Off topic------
The only people who can provoke these people to talk about and spread these words are the readers. It seems that not only Xiao Qianye, but also the old men locked up in the side hall of the imperial study should not be underestimated.
Jian Qiuyang said: "However, suddenly everyone was talking about His Majesty's imprisonment. Some of the words are very ugly, and the people in the market don't know the importance of it, so they ......" Nangong Mo thought about it and said, "It seems... I misunderstood His Majesty the Emperor. Even if he could still contact the Dark Guard, he didn't have such a great ability. ”
Nangong Mo was not in a hurry to raise his eyebrows, "What kind of rumor is this?" "This kind of words have been spread all over the world as early as when King Yan was just a cavalry, right? Plotting to usurp the throne or something.
Jian Qiuyang glanced at the other two women in the hall and said in a low voice: "Rumors suddenly spread in Jinling City, saying... King Yan imprisoned His Majesty and important ministers in the court, intending to usurp the throne. ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyes, "What's wrong?" ”
"County Lord." Jian Qiuyang came in a hurry, his expression a little solemn.
Nangong Mo saw the change in her eyes, and didn't ask much questions, and sat on the side and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Zhu Chuyu looked at Nangong Mo with a calm face, and wanted to ask what happened in the palace, but she knew that Nangong Mo might not tell her. I couldn't leave myself to go to the hall, and I was a little entangled for a while.
Lord Yongcheng nodded and smiled, "Thank you, cousin-in-law." ”
Looking at her tired but determined look, Nangong Mo no longer persuaded her, but said, "Don't hold on." ”
Lord Yongcheng shook his head and said, "I'll wait." ”
Nangong Mo looked at the county lord of Yongcheng and said, "It seems that they won't be able to get out for a while." Yongcheng, you also wait for a day, let's go rest first. Come back tomorrow morning, and if they come out early, let someone inform you. ”
Zhu Chuyu nodded and said softly: "I hope so." ”
Nangong Mo said: "If the senior brother is not sure, no one in this world can be sure to save my uncle." ”
Zhu Chuyu frowned, and asked with some concern: "Cousin-in-law, is the son of the string song sure?" Will it be ......"
The county lord of Yongcheng shook his head a little frustrated and said, "My cousin came out once not long after you left, but he only took some things and asked people to send some food and went in again." The string song doesn't bother people, and we don't know what happened to my father. ”
Nangong Mo smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, senior brother, did they come out?" ”
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and Zhu Chuyu and Lord Yongcheng were still waiting in the flower hall. Seeing Nangong Mo come back, the county lord of Yongcheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Cousin-in-law, you can be regarded as back." Is it okay in the palace? ”
Out of the dormitory, Nangong Mo instructed the guards a few words before turning around and leaving. It's just that she didn't go to the harem as she said before, but went directly out of the palace gate and returned to Yanwang's Mansion.
In the study, Xiao Qianye was silent for a long time before waving his hand and knocking over the inkstone on the table to the ground. After a loud bang, there was silence in the study again.
Xiao Qianye gritted his teeth and was silent, but Nangong Mo stopped looking at him, turned around and walked out.
Nangong Mo shook his head, "Your Majesty seems to have misunderstood something, I just want to tell Your Majesty that the small note or something should not be passed on." I know that the secret guards in the palace always have some special channels that outsiders don't know about. But Your Majesty had better know that the more you spread, the more unlucky people will be. ”
Xiao Qianye wanted to roar that he hadn't lost, but he couldn't say anything. His face turned blue and white for a while, and he said after a long time: "I know what you want, but I didn't expect that I would send the Lord of Star City." ”
"If you lose, you lose, or does Your Majesty not even have the courage to admit defeat?" Nangong Modao.
Xiao Qianye suddenly choked, and stared fiercely at the smiling woman in front of her.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Am I very familiar with Your Majesty?" ”
Speaking of the first emperor, Xiao Qianye's expression loosened slightly. However, he quickly became tough and sneered: "In that case, why don't you persuade King Yan to keep to himself?" ”
Nangong Mo sighed, "I think, the first emperor always doesn't want to see His Majesty ...... one day" Anyway, the first emperor was quite good to her. For the sake of selfishness, she allowed Xiao Chun to kill the first emperor, and Nangong Mo felt that it was nothing to remind Xiao Qianye of two sentences. Of course, if Xiao Qianye wanted to live and die with the throne, she would have nothing to say.
"You're threatening me!" Xiao Qianye said coldly.
Nangong Mo shook his head, "I'm not a good teacher, so Your Majesty is too worried." I just want to remind Your Majesty that it is not a good thing to go your own way. Don't forget, you still have people to care about. "King Yan has no plans to kill Xiao Qianye now, but if Xiao Qianye is not honest, it will be different. Although she and Wei Junmo didn't want King Yan's reputation to be too bad, after all, the backbone of a scholar is sometimes something that is really difficult to figure out. The reputation of killing the monarch on the throne is not a good thing for King Yan. But King Yan is not like a person like Xiao Qianye who will be burdened by fame, but more like the first emperor. Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. Of course, having a good reputation is a good thing, but if Xiao Qianye makes him feel impatient, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Xiao Qianye's face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "I don't need you to teach me how to do it!" ”
Nangong Mo said: "When the first emperor was in power, he killed people like hemp, and less than one in ten of the founding heroes could die right, but do you hear anyone dare to say anything?" The people of the world will only praise the first emperor for expelling the Northern Yuan and restoring orthodoxy, and will only thank the first emperor for allowing them to live a stable life. As for how many heroes the first emperor killed and how many homes he copied, does it have a copper plate relationship with them? It's those literati who talk about the first emperor killing heroes, what about the violence? Every time they go to the imperial examination, as long as they have the opportunity, can they not take the exam? How much of a real effect can your so-called Yoyo mouth have? There is one of the simplest words, Your Majesty must have heard it... The winner is a prince, and the loser is a coward. ”
"What do you mean by that?!" Xiao Qianye said with some annoyance.
Nangong Mo couldn't help but sigh, looking at Xiao Qianye's eyes with a little more pity. I don't know if the first emperor really loved Xiao Qianye or cheated Xiao Qianye. Such a mind... Where is the right place to be an emperor?
Xiao Qianye kept his face calm and didn't speak, and Nangong Mo calmly answered for him, "Is the world a leisurely mouth?" Xiao Qianye snorted lightly, obviously acquiescing to Nangong Mo's words.
"Afraid of what?" Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Qianye's face was gloomy, and his expression was distorted and hideous as he stared at Nangong Mo. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "King Yan is eager to recognize his son, and he can't wait to recognize Wei Junmo!" He's not afraid! ”
Nangong Mo frowned slightly, and said lightly: "It seems that Your Majesty's news is still the same." ”
Seeing Nangong Mo, a trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Qianye's eyes, and he quickly said mockingly: "It turned out to be the Lord of Star City?" Ah, I forgot, Wei Junmo is the eldest son of King Yan, so the county lord should be King Yan's daughter-in-law. Perhaps, in a little while, I will call you the princess? ”
Xiao Qianye was sitting in front of the bed in the study in a daze, the half-closed window made the whole study look a little dark, and only Xiao Qianye sat alone in a bright place. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Qianye turned around to look at Xiang Nangong Mo. After these days, the wound on Xiao Qianye's face has already scarred, and there is no gauze, which adds a bit of hideousness.
Nangong Mo nodded and walked in.
The guard hurriedly shook his head and said, "Back to the county lord, no." ”
Nangong Mo did not go directly to the harem, but went to Xiao Qianye's bedroom. At the door, the guards saw Nangong Mo coming over and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Nangong Mo nodded and asked, "In the past two days, has anyone seen Your Majesty?" ”
"County Lord."
While talking, the two had already walked to the intersection to the harem. As a foreign man, Chen Yu was naturally inconvenient to enter, so he said goodbye to Nangong Mo and left.
Chen Yu couldn't help but smile, "The county lord is reasonable. ”
Nangong Mo smiled: "Do you have to consider whether the other party will read well before doing anything?" I'm just letting them do what they're supposed to do, okay, what's the matter with me? King Yan is not here, if they can't even bear this responsibility and want to push me a woman, what face do they have to hate me because they can't do my errands well? ”
Chen Yu didn't know that it was not that there was a problem with his vision at the beginning, but that people would change with time and circumstances. Someone becomes less, someone becomes more. Some people keep their hearts, and some people change their faces beyond recognition. If King Yan is only King Yan, even if it is for the sake of the throne of the prince, the three brothers of the Xiao family may be a little discordant, but with the pressure of King Yan and Princess Yan, the three brothers of the Xiao family may be safe for the rest of their lives.
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that not everyone may be able to appreciate the county lord's kindness." If it is done well, it is fine, if it is done badly...... "Xiao Qianchi is okay, if Xiao Qianwei messes up this matter, I am afraid that it will be blamed on the lord of Star City." Chen Yu couldn't help frowning, in fact, these generals were not very satisfied with the eldest prince at the beginning, but they were more optimistic about the second son, and the third prince was too young to see anything at that time. It's just that in the past two years, Chen Yu has become more and more suspicious of what went wrong with his original vision. If there is no Wei Gongzi, the prince is majestic and in the prime of life, and may not need a brilliant heir.
Nangong Mowan smiled, "General Chen praised it falsely, you can't take everything on yourself as a person." Even if you're not afraid of being annoyed by others, be careful not to exhaust yourself to death. ”
Out of the side hall, Nangong Mo looked back at the palace door and sighed. Chen Yu looked at Nangong Mo with a smile and said, "The county lord has good intentions. ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, got up with a light smile and walked out. Chen Yu assured the teacup, arched his hand towards the two of them and said with a smile: "County Lord, the last general still has some trivial matters to ask." Nangong Mo looked back and smiled: "General Chen will go together." ”
Xiao Qianchi nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law." ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, pointed to the people who were detained in the side hall, and said, "I'm going to see the Queen Mother and the Queen, and these people will be handed over to you to deal with." ”
Xiao Qianchi is ashamed, Xiao Qianwei is an accident.
Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei were both stunned, looking at Nangong Mo speechless.
Nangong Moqiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the teacup in his hand was put back on the table with a soft bang. Nangong Mo looked at the two of them calmly, "Uncle is just unwell for two days of cultivation, and it's not a big deal. What are you doing with this expression? Since I feel that my ability is not broken, I will redouble my efforts. Or is it... Uncle is out of time, so you're going to leave everything to me? Are you two going to sit and drink tea, or go to the theater to watch a play? ”
Xiao Qianwei said in a low voice: "Big brother is right, there is still a sister-in-law." ”
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Nangong Mo sighed slightly and said, "Qianwei, what do you say?" ”
Isn't it... Find a suitable time to transfer that kid out of Wei Gongzi's command? Chen Yu touched his chin and thought silently.
Why was the first emperor so ruthless? Is it really just because of the high merit that shocks the master? The first emperor can control the world's heroes for his use, and can dominate the world, even if he is suspicious, how can he be a person who is casually afraid of his subordinates' rebellion and kills the heroes? It's just that those people touched the bottom line of the first emperor. Whether it is to win over the crown prince, show favor to the vassal king, and be proud of his achievements, these are not tolerated by the first emperor.
There was some silence in the side hall for a while, Chen Yu looked at everyone's expressions, and sighed secretly in his heart. When he sent his son to Wei Gongzi, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong. Although the old brothers of them did not have the idea of leaning towards anyone, in the eyes of the three sons, they were afraid that they were already biased towards Wei Gongzi. In this regard, Chen Yu obviously disagreed. After learning from the past of those famous generals who founded the country, as a Confucian general who uses his brain more than martial arts, Chen Yu has already understood what is the real survival of military generals, at least in front of monarchs like King Yan and Emperor Xian. No matter which son King Yan himself prefers, even the generals with heavy troops, they must not have any tendency to take sides. Otherwise, there is no need to wait for the next person in power to ascend to the throne, and King Yan can directly pinch them to death.
As for the big brother... After looking at Xiao Qianchi, who was obviously displeased, Xiao Qianwei lowered his eyes and said secretly in his heart, it doesn't matter, with his mother and concubine, it is impossible for the eldest brother to really turn against him. In the future, I will slowly pull it together.
Xiao Qianwei was also a little annoyed, but he didn't regret it very much. He didn't want to offend these powerful families in the Jinling Imperial City, and even the iron-blooded characters like the first emperor failed to quickly purge those intertwined powerful families during his reign, which shows the great power of them. Now that the Qin family and the Xie family are obviously on Wei Junmo's side, even Princess Lingyi wants to show favor to the county lord of Xingcheng. Several generals under his father's command are also more inclined to Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo, if he offends these people again, what hope does he have?
Xiao Qianchi was not as blind as Xiang Nangong Mo thought, at least he would be unhappy when he said such things, he still knew. But what about being unhappy? He never expected his two younger brothers to respect him as the eldest brother, but Xiao Qianchi was really a little sad about what happened at the gate of the palace just now. seems to be a very small thing, but in the eyes of outsiders, they may think that Xiao Qianwei just respects his brother and focuses on his brother in everything. But Xiao Qianchi knew that Xiao Qianwei was just unwilling to come forward to offend those Jinling magnates. originally knew Wei Junmo's life experience, and the relationship between Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei had a chance to ease. After all, compared to the two brothers, Wei Junmo can indeed be regarded as an outsider. But even if Xiao Qianwei had the heart to ease the relationship with his brother first, he never thought of coming forward to face difficulties and pressure with his brother. But I don't want to, Xiao Qianchi is not really stupid, how can he accept his request for peace when he sees him doing something like this?
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, this was the first time that someone among the three brothers of the Xiao family admitted it in front of people after King Yan announced Wei Junmo's identity in public. And... Qianchi, if you think your ability is not lost, forget it, don't drag others down. Can you look sideways at Xiao Qianwei's expression? No wonder the three brothers of the Xiao family have a bad relationship since they were children, even though they have the same father and mother.
Nangong Mo looked at the two brothers Xiao Qianchi and said, "I don't know what happened, and I have to worry about the two of you in the future." Xiao Qianchi's smile was a little bitter, and he arched his hand: "Table... Sister-in-law, my second brother and I are not weak, so I still have to work hard for you. ”
Chen Yu thanked him and sat down on the other side.
The three of them turned around and entered the palace, and the troublemakers had already been taken to a side hall of the palace to wait. Seeing Nangong Mo and the others coming in, they all gritted their teeth and shut up, looking loyal and unyielding. Nangong Mo sneered softly, as if he didn't care about it. He walked to the side and sat down, and said with a smile: "General Chen, please sit down and talk." ”
"Yes, auntie." Xiao Qianwei said respectfully. But his face did not move at all, and he could not see the slightest expression. If you really like it, how can you send it away with a fluttering sentence at the gate of this palace.
"That's right, Qianwei. Your daughter-in-law's gift to Hongu is very fond of Hongu. Let's go back and thank her for this palace. Princess Lingyi smiled and left a sentence and walked away slowly.
Princess Lingyi is an extremely intelligent woman, and she has seen things clearly with the unique sensitivity of the royal family since the Youzhou soldiers came to the city. She is the emperor's aunt, but she is also the sister of King Yan, and there is no so-called allegiance to anyone. No matter who becomes the emperor, she is either the eldest princess or the eldest princess. As long as she doesn't mix up with things that shouldn't be mixed with her. As for showing favor to Nangong Mo at this time, first, she likes Nangong Mo's cheerfulness and neatness, second, her relationship with the fifth sister, and third, Wei Junmo's identity. The eldest son of the third brother, now it is clear that the third brother values this son more as a princess who will beg for a life under him in the future, Princess Lingyi does not feel that it is a shame to follow the preferences of the superiors.
Princess Lingyi smiled even more cheerfully, patted the back of Nangong Mo's hand and said, "It's still flawless to make this palace the happiest to hear." But it's time to call my aunt in the future. I know you're busy, so let's wait for your mother to come back and your aunt come and see your two little darlings. ”
Nangong Mo said with a smile: "It's a flawless honor for my aunt to invite. I will visit Flawless tomorrow, and I hope that my aunt will not turn Flawless away. ”
A few men who were pulled out were invited into the palace gate by Nangong Mo with a smile. Xie Hou and the head of the Qin family said that they would not be involved in this matter, and said goodbye directly at the gate of the palace. Princess Lingyi looked at Nangong Mo, looked at Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei who were standing next to her in the background, covered her lips and smiled: "I wanted to invite Flawless to sit in my house, but now it seems that Flawless is not available for the time being." ”
