The Meng family?

Qiao Feiyan's eyes shrank suddenly, and there was a little more fear in her eyes when she looked at Nangong Xu. But she was soon hidden, looking at Nangong Xu and squeezing out a smile that she thought was soft, "What's wrong with the Meng family?" Nangong Xu looked at Qiao Feiyan with interest and smiled. Nangong Xu is not a person who likes to laugh, so when he laughs, it makes people feel extra afraid, Qiao Feiyan's heart trembled, and she forced her panic to look at him.

Nangong Xu said: "Is Mrs. Qiao trying to delay time?" Then you're about to be disappointed. Don't say today that I just came to your yard to ask questions, even if I kill your father, I won't come back at this time. You should understand what kind of person your father is, do you think he will do anything for you? ”

Of course not! Qiao Feiyan said secretly in her heart. It's really because I understand that I am more scared and angry.

"Xu'er, I really don't understand what you mean." Qiao Feiyan lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

Nangong Xu sneered and said, "Don't know? So do you know this? Nangong Xu stretched out his hand, holding a yellowed letterhead in his hand, but the handwriting on the letterhead made Qiao Feiyan's heart cold, and she couldn't help but lose her voice: "How can this be in your hands?!" Nangong Xu said indifferently: "This is the Mansion of the Duke of Chu, and the hostess here used to be my mother." If you want to hide something, don't bring it into the Chu State Mansion instead. ”

"The girl in my yard," Qiao Feiyan gritted her teeth.

Nangong Xu looked at her with pity, "Do you know, why did the Zheng family suddenly die silently after being powerful in the Chu State Mansion for more than ten years?" ”

"You killed her."

Nangong Xu didn't answer, but said: "Although the Zheng family is dead, it left me a good thing, and finally made me agree with what my mother said back then." ”

"What did Cousin Meng say?

Nangong Xu said: "Mother said that the Zheng family seems to be shrewd but is actually stupid, and it is not a bad thing for me to have such a housewife in the Duke of Chu. Although I didn't agree with my mother's point of view all along, in the end, Zheng finally contributed her value and let me know that it was indeed a good decision not to solve her in the first place. ”

Qiao Feiyan looked at Nangong Xu vigilantly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly pounce on her and strangle herself. Nangong Xu said calmly: "Do you know why the Zheng family is obviously from a humble background, why can he become the wife of the Duke of Chu?" ”

Qiao Feiyan shook her head, she really didn't know reads;. At the beginning, it was only Nangong Huai's empathy and farewell, although he was angry, but he was more gloating about Meng's family. But after returning to Jinling, she saw Nangong Huai's cousin before and after Zheng's death, and she knew that Nangong Huai did not have too deep feelings for Zheng. Nangong Xu said: "Because, the Zheng family inadvertently got half of the letter, and the content of the letter happened to be related to my father and you." Of course, the Zheng family shouldn't know that the person in his heart is the dignified princess of Huaning County. If you still can't remember, I can remind you that you should remember the events of nineteen years ago, right? After all, aren't you the one who married the king of Huaning that year? ”

"I really don't know what you're talking about!" Qiao Feiyan couldn't help but exclaim.

Nangong Xu's eyes were slightly ministered, "Toast and don't eat and drink." Six years ago, you had Mo'er thrown into the bandits, right? Since you're so interested in Mrs. Zhai, why don't I send you to try it? But you look like a half-old, I'm afraid that no bandit leader is willing to marry you as Mrs. Zhai, so those dozens or hundreds of bandits don't know if Mrs. Qiao can stand it? ”

Qiao Feiyan only felt cold all over her body, and looked at Nangong Xu's gaze as if she had seen a ghost. Even if Nangong Xu was very unkind to their mother and son several times before, and even rewarded and threatened to kill Qiao Qianning, she never felt that Nangong Xu was so terrible.

"You dare!"

Nangong Xu smiled lightly, but Qiao Feiyan couldn't help but shudder, she knew that Nangong Xu really dared. Now that Nangong Huai is not at home, no one in the entire Chu State Mansion dares to stop Nangong Xu, if he wants to do anything to himself, no one can save him. Even if Nangong Huai turned back to investigate, it would be too late. "What the hell do you want?" Qiao Feiyan gritted her teeth and said.

Nangong Xu said: "Tell me what happened back then, and then write it down clearly." ”

Qiao Feiyan instinctively wanted to refuse, but looked at Nangong Xu's cold and ruthless eyes, but she couldn't speak. I only heard Nangong Xu say compassionately: "You can refuse, but, I guess you don't want to know the consequences after rejecting me." ”

"I don't know."

"Then I can only treat you as the murderer behind the murder of my sister." Nangong Xu said without any pressure, "It's not easy to find the bandits' den for a while now. Why don't you just find a few people to pay attention to? Don't worry, I'll find your son to watch. ”

"You devil!" Qiao Feiyan's face turned pale and screamed. A trace of murderous intent flashed in Nangong Xu's eyes, and he said coldly: "How did you do it back then?" ”

Qiao Feiyan's face turned pale and she was silent.

Nangong Xu obviously didn't have the patience to wait, turned around and ordered to the door: "Go, Qiao Qianning bring it over!" ”

"Yes, eldest son."

Qiao Qianning didn't need anyone to bring herself. In fact, after hearing that Nangong Xu had broken into Qiao Feiyan's courtyard, Qiao Qianning hurried over here. Before entering the door, Qiao Feiyan heard Qiao Feiyan's scream, Qiao Qianning quickened her pace and rushed into the room quickly, "Nangong Xu, what do you want to do to my mother?" Nangong Xu turned his head with a sneering smile on his face, "What will I do to an old woman who is as good as a husband?" ”

Qiao Qianning's face sank, and he was about to rush towards Nangong Xu with a roar. Behind him, two guards blocked his way, one left and one right. Qiao Qianning waited for him angrily, "Nangong Xu, I heard that my father wants me to be the son of the world, are you afraid?" What kind of man are you against a woman? ”

Nangong Xu was not angry, looked back at Qiao Feiyan and said, "This daddy is really skillful, I don't know what kind of mood the king of Huaning County is in?" Also, Mrs. Qiao, are you sure that Qiao Qianning is my father's seed? ”

Qiao Feiyan gritted her teeth and said, "Of course Qianning is the child of Brother Nangong." ”

Nangong Xu Ha laughed, but there was not the slightest smile on his face, "Do you know why no children have been born in the Chu State Mansion since the Zheng family entered the door?" ”

Qiao Feiyan was a little inexplicable, and Nangong Xu said lightly: "Because, after Nangong Shu, my father will never have any other children in his life." So whose child did Mrs. Joe just abort? Even in Jinling, he dared to cuckold his father, do you think his father would still believe that Qiao Qianning and Qiao Yuewu were his species? Especially now that Qiao Yuewu has just betrayed him? ”

"You designed this qiē?" Qiao Feiyan gritted her teeth and said.

Nangong Xu turned around and instructed lightly: "If she refuses to write for less than a quarter of an hour, chop off one of Qiao Qianning's fingers." ”

"Yes, Childe."

"You dare!"

"Nangong Xu, I'll fight with you!" Qiao Qianning roared. Nangong Xu turned around, raised his hand and punched Qiao Qianning in the abdomen. Although Nangong Xu can't practice martial arts, the strength of an adult man is still enough for Qiao Qianning, who can't move. Immediately he was beaten speechless.

Qiao Feiyan said with hatred: "Nangong Xu, you will have retribution." ”

Nangong Xu disagreed, "Oh? None of you have been retributed, how blind will it be for God to find me? The sins that Qiao Qianning and Qiao Yuewu suffered today were all caused by you. After speaking, Nangong Xu ignored Qiao Feiyan's mother and son, turned around and walked out.

"Eldest son, eldest lady is here." Walking out of Qingwu Courtyard, the guard whispered.

Nangong Xu was stunned, lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Let her go back, I don't have time today." ”

"Yes."

In the hall, Nangong Mo was sitting and drinking tea. A guard walked in quickly, "County Lord." ”

"How?" Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said.

The guard said: "The eldest prince said that he has something to do today and can't meet the county lord, so please come back tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Nangong Mo frowned, "What's the matter, eldest brother, who doesn't even have the strength to say a few words to me?" ”

The guard said: "My subordinates don't know, the eldest prince ordered it like this." ”

Nangong Mo frowned, looked at the person in front of him for a long time before saying, "How do I think you have some eyes?" The guard was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "The subordinates have not been here for a long time, and the county lord has indeed never seen his subordinates." Nangong Mo nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back first." Come back tomorrow morning to visit Big Brother. ”

"Yes, the subordinates will convey it to the eldest prince. The county lord walked slowly. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, turned around and walked out.

Out of the gate of the Duke of Chu, Nangong Mo glanced back at the huge plaque above his head and frowned slightly.

"County Lord." A Zixiao Hall killer dressed as a guard hurriedly came, and Nangong Mo's expression was solemn, "What's wrong?" ”

The person who came said in a low voice: "The prince of Changfeng has just sent news that there are changes between the regent and the emperor, and the Jingwei camp and the Praetorian Guard are also secretly moving. I'm afraid that something is going to happen, so I ask the county lord to go back to his house. Nangong Mo couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, his expression was solemn, "It's fast here." The person nodded, now that the situation was on the verge of erupting, no one could have imagined when this strange balance would suddenly be upset. Now it seems that neither the new emperor nor the regent can bear it anymore.

Nangong Mo sighed and nodded, "Let's go back to the house first." ”

"Yes."

Back in Yanwang's Mansion, the three Xiao Qianchi brothers and Princess Changping were there, and it was obvious that Wei Junmo didn't intend to hide these things from them. Seeing Nangong Mo coming back, Princess Changping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I heard that it's very chaotic outside, are you okay without flaw?" Nangong Mowan'er smiled and said: "Secretly I am a little nervous, where is there any mess on the surface?" Mother doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Princess Changping shook her head and said, "No matter what, it's better to be careful." Let them fight for those things. "Neither he has a good impression of Xiao Chun nor Princess Xiao Qianye Changping, and naturally he doesn't want his son and daughter-in-law to get involved in these power struggles. Nangong Mo nodded and said, "Let my mother worry, I know." ”

Helping Princess Changping to sit down again, Nangong Mo looked at Wei Junmo and asked, "Is this today?" ”

Wei Junmo nodded slightly, "Obviously, it's today, Xiao Qianye can't help it." ”

"Cousin, cousin, what should we do?" Xiao Qianjiong said a little breathlessly. Even His Royal Highness King Yan would not have thought that he would come to Jinling to participate in a succession ceremony, and he would have a chance to catch up with the palace change. Wei Junmo said coldly: "Stay at home." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Qianjiong looked sluggish.

Nangong Mo couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled: "Listen to your cousin's words, stay at home." Mother and your eldest brother and second brother will be handed over to you for protection. Of course, Nangong Mo knew what a child like Xiao Qianjiong who had been on the battlefield at a young age was thinking. However, I am afraid that today's affairs will be more complicated than the battlefield, and it is really not suitable for Xiao Qianjiong to go out.

Xiao Qianjiong was stunned, and soon became excited again, "Cousin and sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely protect my aunt and eldest brother and second brother." ”

Nangong Mo nodded, "I believe in you." ”

Seeing his younger brother's morale so high, Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei couldn't help laughing. Who would have thought that the third prince of Yanwangfu, who was the hegemon in Youzhou City, would be obedient to a woman who was not a few years older than him.

Princess Changping couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, Jiong'er, my aunt will have you to protect you." ”

Although Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo affirmed that something would happen tonight, no one knew how it would happen and when. So no one slept until late at night, and everyone sat in the hall and waited quietly. It wasn't until nearly a watch that Ryu appeared outside the hall, "Childe, madam." ”

Nangong Mo asked, "How is it?" ”

Liu Shen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty sent people to surround the Regent's Mansion. But at the same time, the regent also let the queen mother and all the concubines in the palace be held hostage. ”

Wei Junmo got up and said indifferently: "There is only Xiao Chun alone in the Regent Palace, what's the use of surrounding the Regent Palace?" ”

A trace of entanglement flashed on Liu's face, obviously she also felt that Xiao Qianye's order was really a bit of a mistake. But at the same time, he also had to be a little considerate of Xiao Qianye, it was precisely because Xiao Chun was only one person, so he had few weaknesses, except for surrounding and sending people to surround and kill Xiao Chun, there was really no other way.

"How's going in the palace?" Wei Junmo asked.

Liu Dao: "Although the regent controls most of the guards, there are still many who are loyal to the emperor. Now the two sides are facing each other in the palace, but the emperor controls the front court, and Xiao Chun controls the inner court. "In other words, everyone in the harem is still in Xiao Chun's hands," In addition, all the inside and outside of the imperial city have been accused. No one can go out at will. "Of course, these elusive Zixiao Hall killers are difficult, that's why Liu will appear here at this time. If tonight goes well, whether Xiao Chun kills Xiao Qianye or Xiao Qianye kills Xiao Chun, the vast majority of people in Jinling City will not know what happened early tomorrow morning.

"I'll take a look." Wei Jun said unexpectedly.

"I'll go with you." Nangong Modao.

Wei Junmo nodded, and the two walked out of the hall hand in hand. Nangong Modi's voice came from outside the door, "Liu, Yanwang's Mansion is handed over to you." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

At night in the palace, there was no longer the empty feeling of the past, and when I looked up, I could only see the Praetorian Guards and palace guards standing everywhere with swords in hand. In the imperial study, Xiao Qianye sat on the dragon chair and looked at the people below with a calm expression. Only the hand that kept playing with the teacup in his hand showed that he was not anxious.

"Nangong Huai hasn't come yet?" After a long time, I heard Xiao Qianye ask in a deep voice.

Below, the chief eunuch replied cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, the Duke of Chu has not yet come." ”

Xiao Qianye snorted lightly and said, "It seems that what he said is right, Nangong Huai really took refuge in Xiao Qianye." ”

Gong Gongchun, who was sitting below, frowned and said, "With Nangong Huai's style of acting, he shouldn't take refuge in Xiao Chun at all. Is there some misunderstanding in this? Although he was not quite right with Nangong Huai, although his daughter and unborn grandson were still in the hands of the enemy, Yuan Chun still couldn't help but say. Nangong Huai is not a fool, and he can't fail to see that no matter whether he wins or loses in this battle, Xiao Chun will not end well in the end.

Xiao Qianye sneered and said, "Probably someone grabbed some pigtails that had to give in, right?" Although he had been prepared for a long time, I have to say that Nangong Huai's betrayal still made Xiao Qianye a little disappointed. Nangong Huai, like Yuan Chun, has the prestige in the army, and no one in the court can match the military generals.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother and all the mothers," someone asked with some concern. Xiao Chun hijacked the entire harem, once something happened, it would really be the biggest scandal of the royal family since the founding of Great Xia.

"Can't the people of the Water Pavilion help it?" Xiao Qianye frowned.

"Most of the secret guards left by the emperor have taken refuge in Xiao Chun, even the killers of the Water Pavilion" You must know that the secret guard ability around the emperor is no worse than those Jianghu killers. Otherwise, the emperor will be killed after looking for 800 years. Now it is the secret guards who protect the emperor's secret guards who have defected, and it's ironic that they, as the orthodox side of the royal family, ask for help from the killers of the rivers and lakes.

Xiao Qianye was silent. It is clear that the situation is that both sides are at an impasse, but this stalemate must be broken, and if it drags on until dawn, no one will look good. And it is the outsiders who can break the deadlock. There is only one person in the entire Jinling City who can have this ability - Wei Junmo. But Xiao Qianye didn't want to ask Wei Junmo for help.

It is a hostility that seems to be predestined by nature. From the very beginning, Xiao Qianye didn't like that taciturn cousin who was always expressionless. It's as if one day he will do something dangerous to himself.

Xiao Qianye's expression changed, but fell in the eyes of Yuan Chun below, frowned, and Yuan Chun said, "Your Majesty, but what is the way?" ”

Xiao Qianye glanced at Yuan Chun indifferently, and Yuan Chun's heart trembled, and he didn't understand what he said wrong. However, the new emperor has only been on the throne for more than a month, but his temper is becoming more and more unpredictable.

For a long time, just when Yuan Chun was trying to say something more, he heard Xiao Qianye suddenly say in a deep voice: "Send someone out of the palace immediately, and Xuanwei Junmo will enter the palace immediately." "The Doctor of the Prosperous Age
