Chapter 183: Ripples in the Heart
"Hmph, don't think that if you hold the gold medal given by the first emperor himself, you can not put anyone in your eyes, and say something ugly, the first emperor has passed away after all, and now, whether it is the palace or these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I am the master, understand? So, don't be delusional that this time, it will work", Nangong Ling suddenly thought of something, and the anger was instantly suppressed, and the faint light between his eyes flickered, revealing weirdness and coldness.
Concubine Yun was a little stunned by Nangong Ling's sudden change of attitude, but she quickly recovered as before, hiding a trace of sharpness in her eyes without a trace, smiled faintly, and said without fear of meeting Nangong Ling: "How big is the role of the gold medal, the emperor knows better than the palace, isn't it?"
Nangong Ling's body stiffened, and her slender fingers clenched together, damn slut, if I don't get rid of you, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart, but then again, why didn't he use Concubine Yun as bait to lure Nangong Yu back? Concubine Yun raised him since he was a child, and it is needless to say that he has the affection for enyu, if Nangong Yu cares about Concubine Yun, he will definitely come back to save Concubine Yun, and at that time, he will be killed on the spot, hum, Nangong Yu, I want to see how hard your life is.
In this way, killing two birds with one stone, you can not only get rid of Concubine Yun, a slut, but also kill Nangong Yu, why not?
Thinking about it, the corners of Nangong Ling's mouth hooked up a sneer, the fingertips that were clenched slowly loosened, slowly stood up and walked towards Concubine Yun, stopped three steps away from Concubine Yun, and said coldly: "The Queen Mother has been fighting with you for so many years, and there has never been a time of victory, and I have turned a blind eye to you, but this time, I will definitely not give you a chance to turn over, you are just the widow of the first emperor, and you have lived for so many years with a gold medal and scheming, this ability still makes me admire a little, but this is the end of it."
Concubine Yun was stunned when she heard this, looking at Nangong Ling's eyes full of conspiracy, as well as a somewhat hideous expression, she couldn't help but tremble lightly in her heart, how much Nangong Ling hated Nangong Yu, she couldn't be clearer, this time, I'm afraid that the gold medal won't play a role, in the palace, only she has an extremely close relationship with Nangong Yu, there is no reason why Nangong Ling will let her go.
"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but, there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, and the palace has nothing to say", after Concubine Yun finished speaking, she stood sideways to the side, no longer looking at Nangong Ling, thinking to herself, even if the gold medal didn't work, she still had the entire Shui family behind her as a backing, she didn't believe that Nangong Ling would really kill her without caring about the Shui family.
Nangong Ling seemed to see through Concubine Yun's thoughts, seeing that she seemed to confess her guilt, but she was neither arrogant nor humble, obviously full of confidence, not afraid at all, and couldn't help but sneer: "Don't think that I don't dare to touch the Shui family, although I was born in the royal family, I am also half of the Chu family, and the dispute between the Chu family and the Shui family has never stopped, you know this much better than me, but now, even if I don't do it, the Shui family will no longer be able to survive in Jinxi, haha."
When Concubine Yun heard the last sentence, she immediately looked at Nangong Ling coldly, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Nangong Ling raised her eyebrows lightly, and sneered with disdain: "What? Concubine Yun, who has always been well-informed, would not know what happened to the Shui family recently? Heh".
After Concubine Yun heard this, her eyes darkened, obviously Nangong Ling's words hit the nail on the head, the Shui family is already a powerful family of Jin Xi, the younger brother married the second daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty as his wife, and the second is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, the family has a lot of money, the background is solid, the younger brother is busy with business and keeps running, she has never worried that the Shui family will have a day of decline, except for the male Ding is not prosperous, there is nothing else, I didn't expect that Nangong Ling's words today made her heart pinch up.
In a blink of an eye, she met Nangong Ling's eyes and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by this?"
"Oh? Don't you really know? Shui Yunheng divorced the prime minister's second daughter and helped the second room to be his wife"? Nangong Ling looked at Concubine Yun with a smile, and when she saw her surprised expression, her smile deepened.
"What do you say"? Concubine Yun's figure shook slightly, obviously hit by this news, the second daughter of the dignified prime minister was actually divorced? How could the prime minister not be angry, and wouldn't the Shui family have one less backer?
Striking while the iron was hot, Nangong Ling raised a seeping smirk, and said: "Since you want to know, I won't hide it from you, let you die clearly, I heard that the abandoned Liu Ruyan is dead, just the day before Shui Duyao returned to Nanyang County with King Xiang, the Prime Minister's Mansion carried the body back, and resolutely refused to let Liu Ruyan enter the ancestral hall of the Shui family, and Shui Yunheng didn't care at all, he was intoxicated all day long between the little ladies in Xinna, the wind and snow, and he couldn't think about it, and he didn't even go to the silk workshop, and the shop was handed over to the next person to take care of."
Concubine Yun was stunned for a moment, her body was unstable, she took a few steps back, and after standing firmly, she felt as if her heart was blocked by something, she wanted to say something but couldn't say it, her face gradually turned pale, at this moment, she lost her previous self-confidence and arrogance in front of Nangong Ling in an instant, "What you said, is it true?" She looked at Nangong Ling again, and said in a low voice.
Nangong Ling hooked the corners of her mouth and sneered: "Your life is already in my hands, do I need to do more?" Hehe", he didn't allow Concubine Yun to speak, and then said: "Now, the business of the Shui family is not as good as day by day, the branches in the border towns have long been closed, and the shops in other towns, the Chu family has secretly acquired them, Mingli is the Shui family, in fact, it has long been under the name of the Chu family, and the rest is the shops in the capital, but unfortunately, Shui Yunheng ignores the things of the shop all day long, and the Chu family moves a little, and the business is even more bleak and loses money all day long, hehehe."
As soon as Nangong Ling's voice fell, she only heard Concubine Yun sneer and said: "It's the carelessness of the palace, I didn't expect you to start slowly devouring from the periphery of the Shui family, and when the Shui family has no power, and the palace doesn't have any screens, then come to deal with the palace and King Yu, heh, this trick is really wonderful."
"You're wrong, I didn't get involved, it's just that this qiē came just right, didn't it?" As he spoke, Nangong Ling looked at the door of the main hall and shouted: "Someone is coming."
Immediately after the four guards walked in, Nangong Ling pointed at Concubine Yun, and suddenly became mighty, "Concubine Yun has no one in her eyes, regardless of respect and inferiority, and is very disrespectful to the Queen Mother, and then, she let go of the court prisoners without permission, and she is the same party of the rebellious ministers and thieves, and her crime is increased by one degree, relying on the gold medal given by the first emperor himself, she is rampant in the palace, and she is guilty of doing evil, and her crime is increased by the second degree, and she will be pressed into the inner palace prison, and she will be interrogated by the Queen Mother herself", because Concubine Yun belongs to the inner palace maids, so it can only be handed over to the Queen Mother for trial.
"Yes", the four guards took the order and walked to Concubine Yun's side, one of the guards pointed to the door of the hall and said to Concubine Yun: "Please go by yourself, Concubine Yun."
At this time, Concubine Yun had regained her calm, she looked at Nangong Ling gloomily, and saw a smug smile on his face, no matter how angry she was, there was nothing she could do about it, but she would never accept her fate, turned around and slowly walked out of the main hall under the guidance of the guards on both sides, and her personal palace maid Song'er stood at the entrance of the hall.
Concubine Yun looked at Song'er and winked at her, but then scolded sharply: "You cheap hoof, you dare to have the face to come to the palace?" Is it possible, do you want to wait for this palace to pick your skin? Hurry up and get out of the way, go back to your Chengxiu Palace, cheap hooves, the next thing, this palace will be disgusted when it sees you."
Song'er saw Concubine Yun winking at her, but she didn't understand what it meant, this time she listened to Concubine Yun's scolding, and couldn't help but understand a little, although she had only followed Concubine Yun for a few years, she was extremely loyal to Concubine Yun, and she was very smart, and she sneered at the moment and said: "Niangniang's lesson is that the slave will return to Chengxiu Palace, but what happened to Niangniang this time?" Escorted by guards? Oh, it seems that the mother is not in a good mood, so the slave and the maid will not bother, and the slave and maid will retire."
Song'er chuckled a few more times, turned around and left the Yunzhao Palace, at this moment, Nangong Ling walked out of the hall when she heard the sound, her eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and she looked at Concubine Yun and said, "Aren't you very powerful in this palace?" How? This girl has been with you for a few years, and she was scolded like this by you"?
Concubine Yun snorted coldly, looked at the distant back, and said disdainfully: "She is delusional about flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, daring to seduce King Yu, how can this palace tolerate her"? As soon as the words fell, she noticed that she was out of shape, regained her indifferent expression, ignored Nangong Ling, and continued to walk outside.
Nangong Ling looked at Concubine Yun's back, and for a long time, the doubt in her eyes gradually subsided.
At dusk, there is a spectacle of burning clouds in the sky, Shui Lianyue stands in the courtyard, staring at the red clouds in the distance, and the desire for freedom in the phoenix's eyes has been raised again, if this is watched on the mountain or cliffside, it must be even more spectacular than now, and the scenery of sunrise and sunset is actually very beautiful.
At this moment, Jing Xuexuan's door was pushed open, and she saw Nangong Ling flashing in front of her like a wind, her handsome face was extremely gloomy, and her eyes flashed with sharp edges, but she unexpectedly crossed a touch of joy, "Hmph, I forgive you and don't dare to run away", as soon as the words fell, Nangong Ling grabbed Shui Lianyue's wrist and walked towards the house.
"You let go of me, Nangong Ling, what are you going to do? If you don't let go, I'm welcome", Shui Lianyue struggled to break free of Nangong Ling's palm, but she didn't want him to be very hard, but just when she was about to use her internal force, Nangong Ling let go of her wrist at the right time, "Have you been staying in Jingxuexuan all the time?"
Shui Lianyue was slightly stunned, and then looked at Nangong Ling indifferently and said, "What do you mean by this?" I've been locked up here by you, and you still doubt me"?
"I'm just asking you, how can I say it's suspicious", Nangong Ling saw that her face was not abnormal, and her tone was much more relaxed, thinking to herself, maybe she really thought about it too much, but the disappearance of the two secret guards guarding Jing Xuexuan always made him feel faintly uneasy in his heart.
"I miss you, so I came to see you, but your attitude has disappointed me, when will you change it? The queen of the world has always been tolerant and generous, kind and kind, how can you be like you, seeing me as if you are seeing an enemy", Nangong Ling quickly looked around the room, and then her eyes fell on Shui Lianyue's indifferent face, and she was a little annoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it, and said in a gentle tone.
"I've always been like this, I can't change it, if you mind, just find someone else to be your queen", Shui Lianyue snorted coldly, and said angrily, she was afraid that Nangong Ling would threaten her with her mother again, so she didn't be too tough, she had to leave tomorrow night, at this time, she must not let Nangong Ling find out the abnormality, if he can relax his vigilance, it will naturally be better.
Nangong Ling listened to her words, with a hint of hypocrisy, and did not refuse as bluntly as before, as if she had accepted it? He hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and raised his hand to pull her hand, but found that she did not dodge, he still held it in his hand, rubbing it gently, the pair of white soft wattles were slightly cold, and the slender fingertips were white and clear, which made Nangong Ling's heart a little rippling.
