Chapter 175: The Dead
Lin Jue could see the mockery in the other party's eyes at a glance, but there was not much fluctuation on his face, he just looked at him deeply and said with a smile, "You always have to learn something, right?" Otherwise, maybe one day, just like my third brother, he accidentally fell off his horse......"
When the words fell, Ling Nan's face instantly became a little unsightly, but he was much better than the county lord of Qingyun, and in an instant, he returned to normal.
But he secretly said in his heart, it seems that Lin Er has indeed changed. Not only did he know how to pretend in front of people, but he also became smarter.
At this time, Nangong Yi had already finished the business in hand, strode into the hall, his dark eyes wandered around, and the moment he saw Lin Jue, he was slightly relieved, but when he saw Ling Nan and the county lord of Qingyun around her, Nangong Yi's eyes looked grim and glanced at Ling Nan.
Ling Nan was looking at Lin Jue thoughtfully, but suddenly felt a cold gaze lingering on his body, and couldn't help but follow that line of sight, but saw Nangong Yi, who was dressed in the clothes of the palace guards, walking towards them quickly.
Although he had heard of the prestige of the young general many times when he was studying abroad, Ling Nan had never seen Nangong Yi himself, so when he saw a completely unfamiliar face, looking at him so indifferently and unfriendly, Ling Nan's heart was instantly unhappy.
How dare a little janissary look at him with such eyes? Are you tired of being alive?!
"Second brother, let's go over, my father seems to be looking for us......"
Seeing Nangong Yi coming, the county lord of Qingyun hurriedly pulled Ling Nan and planned to leave.
Right now. It's not the time to come face to face with this killing god.
"Wait a minute!"
Ling Nan obviously didn't intend to leave like this, he was a dignified county king, and he was actually looked at with such contempt by a janitarian guard. Can you bear this breath?
In the past few years, he has just gone out to study, and he is not dead, how dare this group of people use such an attitude towards him?!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he looked at Nangong Yi who walked in front of him and said, "Whose hand are you in?" ”
Except for Lin Jue, Nangong Yi looked expressionless to everyone. Suddenly hearing someone ask, he was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly. "Why do you ask?"
His lip line is very beautiful, the corners of his lips are slightly upturned, and when he is not smiling, there is a hint of perverse and domineering.
Look at him. Ling Nan suddenly felt a chill inexplicably.
General Nangong smiled. My second brother has always liked to joke about ......"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the county lord of Qingyun hurriedly came out to relieve the siege.
Nangong?
Ling Nan was stunned.
No way?
The general who has captured the red hair many times must at least be a rough man with five big and three thick, right? How could it be that the person in front of him who was born more handsome than a woman?
If it is a janitarian guard, then it may be a child of a certain minister's family, who asked someone to find an errand in the palace to gild, and the credibility is a little greater, but the general who fought on the battlefield, it is impossible, right?!
"Second brother. This is the famous General Nangong Yi, didn't you keep saying that you wanted to meet? Now it's right in front of you. You're kidding......"
Seeing Ling Nan's bewildered face, the county lord of Qingyun continued to solve the siege.
"Not only that......" said the county lord of Qingyun, his innocent eyes flashed, "Now, General Nangong is still Sister Yunshu's fiancé......"
Through jokes, the hidden stakes are clearly stated. As a popular person beside the emperor, Nangong Yi's current power is unrivaled among military attachés, but no one is invincible, which does not mean that there is really nothing to do with him. Of course, there is a way, but it would be extremely stupid to go head-to-head with him.
King Gaoyang was a little incredulous, but looking at his sister's tone and not like he was joking, and was thinking about how to deal with it next, suddenly a sharp cry sounded outside the palace, which scared everyone.
Nangong Yi's face sank, and she was just about to order someone to see what was going on, when she saw Princess Changyuan so frightened that her face was bloodless, and she stumbled in from the outside, and the palace maid stepped forward to reach out to help, and her whole person instantly collapsed on the palace maid's body, as if she was about to faint immediately.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the fourth prince walked over quickly, and when he saw Princess Changyuan leaning on the palace maid with no manners, he couldn't help frowning, "Why do you look like this, what's going on?" ”
Princess Changyuan's face was pale, trembling, and she was about to speak, but she spit out with a "wow". It was as if he was terrified.
Since Concubine Zhao Guifei was confined, Princess Changyuan's status in the palace has plummeted, and at this moment, seeing her has no princess demeanor at all, she is simply thrown into the royal face in front of many guests, the fourth prince held a breath in his heart, his tone was also colder, and he said in a deep voice to the palace maid standing next to him, "Why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and help the princess down to rest?!" ”
It was only at this time that Princess Changyuan came back to her senses slightly, and suddenly cried loudly, "Fourth Emperor Brother, when I went out just now, I saw a person hanging under the tree and under the cloister—"
The hall fell silent in an instant, and everyone's expressions became subtle and frightened.
They had just experienced a catastrophe of Gu worms, and they really didn't have the spare energy to endure other misfortunes.
The face of the fourth prince changed suddenly, but in an instant, he returned to his original state, looked at Princess Changyuan and smiled, "It's so dark outside, you must be mistaken, right?" The royal sister must have been frightened by the black worm just now......"
"Nope! Brother Four Emperors, I read that right! Princess Changyuan shook her head vigorously, the expression on her face was surprised and frightened, "There is really a person hanging there, don't believe it, you can ask my maid, she also saw it!" Speaking of this, she stretched out her hand and pointed to a palace maid standing next to her, and exclaimed.
With her pale face, sharp voice, and somewhat disheveled hair, in the eyes of everyone, Princess Changyuan at this moment is even more terrifying than the figure under the tree.
The palace maid was also frightened, and realized that everyone's eyes were on her, so she said tremblingly, "The slave and the slave did see it, and there was a person hanging under the big tree on the other side of the corridor......"
After the palace maid finished speaking, after a short period of silence, there was a riot in the Changchun Palace.
Originally, after being frightened by the Gu worm but not being able to go back, it had already exhausted everyone, but now, there was such a scene, plus it was night, so many people had just died in the hall, and everyone's hearts were instantly covered with dark clouds, and even the flickering candlelight in the hall became eerie and terrifying.
The fourth prince was a little hesitant.
It stands to reason that if a dead person was found in the palace, he should go and see it and find out. But the emperor is moody, and he is not the favored one, if he makes his own decisions and offends the holy will, then he is not asking for hardship.
But if he doesn't go, if the emperor investigates it at that time, he will still suffer.
Thinking like this, he gritted his teeth, and finally called two janissaries and asked them to find out.
Soon, two janissaries who had gone out to investigate.
There was indeed a person hanging under the big tree, and besides, it was a person that everyone was familiar with.
"How is he?"
"What the hell is this ......?"
"God, didn't he just get dismissed by His Majesty?! Why can't you think about it like this? ”
The guards were very pragmatic, and several people directly carried Yang Yilang's body to the door of the hall, with an iron blue face, dark red color blocks, a half-truncated tongue hanging outside, and round eyes, in the silent night, reflecting the faint flickering candlelight, it looked even more terrifying and weird.
A few timid young ladies were already crying in fright.
Nangong Yi stood in the crowd, silently looking at this qiē, with an unpredictable look in his eyes.
Lin Jue wanted to laugh inexplicably.
Empress Yang took great pains to act in a play, but in the end she still failed to save her brother's life, was the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch behind, or was this originally a well-designed serial show?
The emperor soon arrived, and with him came Empress Yang, whose face was still a little pale.
The atmosphere in the hall froze again.
But everyone was crying bitterly in their hearts, what the hell is this, they are just here to attend the palace banquet, why do they seem to be here to die?
"Second brother, who do you think is this?"
The county lord of Qingyun was thoughtful.
Ling Nan didn't answer, he just stood quietly, with a habitual smile on his lips, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Lin Jue who was not far away.
"What's going on?! Yang Yilang is so dignified, how could he hang himself?! ”
Emperor Zhaoyang's face was hard to see.
Just after being dismissed, he hanged himself in the palace, isn't this a clear dissatisfaction with him?!
The crowd lowered their heads, and no one dared to squeak.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Emperor Zhaoyang turned his head to look at Empress Yang next to him, and said with a cold smile, "Empress, your brother is quite individual, is this to be determined by death?" ”
When Empress Yang heard this, she instantly knelt down and frequently knocked her head on the ground, "The emperor is clear, my brother has long known his mistakes, and he has no complaints about the emperor's will, and finally got the emperor's grace and gave him a chance to be reborn, how could he not think about it, the emperor, the concubines thought that the brother did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone......
"Really?"
Emperor Zhaoyang was still blushing, suppressing countless angers, he looked at Empress Yang kneeling on the ground, as if he was going to be furious in the next moment.
"According to the queen's meaning, does it mean that in this palace, someone wants to kill him?"
The words were very light, but in Queen Yang's ears, it was like a holy decree full of beheading, which frightened her into a cold sweat instantly, and quickly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean that." The concubine just felt that the emperor's grace was vast, and the emperor could spare his brother, and he couldn't be grateful, and it was impossible for him to think about committing suicide......"
As she spoke, Empress Yang knocked on the ground with her head, and after only a while, blood had already appeared on her forehead, and the ground was instantly stained with blood.
But she ignored it completely, and continued to kowtow.
Now, she has no choice but to do so. If the emperor thinks that Yang Yilang deliberately hanged himself in the palace because he was dissatisfied with his dismissal, it would be tantamount to having the intention of rebellion, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only will the Yang family not be able to keep it, but the status of the six princes will also be lost.
So, even if it was a kowtow, she had to continue. (To be continued.) )
