Chapter 161: Don't Run Away
Nangong Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his cold face was like a thousand years of ice, and he secretly said in his heart, it seems that he still underestimated Shui Lianyue.
"Lord Wang, come up with an idea, it's too late to get it", Qing Yuan looked at Nangong Yu, seeing that he was deep in thought, his face was suddenly full of anxiety, and the footsteps outside Jinhuaju were getting closer and closer.
"Nangong Ling has taken such a lot of trouble this time, he will definitely not let this king escape, you two hide quickly, and after this king leaves, rush to Wuge City and Yingdu, pass on the king's order, and do not move, and those who violate the order will be killed."
Qing Yuan and Mo Yun were shocked when they heard this, Qing Yuan understood what Nangong Yu meant, but Mo Yun was unwilling, and asked urgently: "Lord Wang, do you really want to be arrested?"
Nangong Yu glanced at Mo Yun and shouted coldly at Qing Yuan: "Qing Yuan, don't take Mo Yun with you yet"?
"Lord Wang", Mo Yun wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, Qing Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Mo Yun's arm, she struggled desperately, in desperation, Qing Yuan had no choice but to click on her sleeping hole, beat her horizontally and hugged her, her eyes looked at Nangong Yu's black eyes, she knew it in her heart, turned around and ran to the backyard of Jinhua Ju, and left absolutely.
Steward He got up from the ground, didn't wait to speak, only heard Han Shiming lead people into Jinhua Ju, the Imperial Forest Army behind him saw Nangong Yu, and pulled out the knife in his hand, Han Shiming saw this, waved his hand behind him, and shouted: "Don't be rude", when the Imperial Forest Army put away the long knife, he slowly stepped forward and came to Nangong Yu's face, waved his hands, and said respectfully: "This time, the lower official has served the emperor's will to arrest the prince, if there is any offense, please also ask the prince to atone for his sins, cooperate with the lower official, don't make the lower official embarrassed."
"Why did the emperor arrest the prince? Anyway, I have to say a reason, I just heard that Governor Han came to arrest the rebellious ministers and thieves by the emperor's order, dare to be affectionate, is it my lord? How can this be reasonable, my prince is fair and honest, loyal to the emperor, and even more dedicated to Jin Xi and died, such a trumped-up charge, how can Governor Han arbitrarily press on my prince"? Steward He stepped forward, blocked Nangong Yu, and no longer cared about etiquette, glared at Han Shiming and asked.
"Audacious, you are just a housekeeper and you dare to speak to this governor like this? It's really presumptuous", Han Shiming was immediately angry when he heard this, and he shouted coldly at Steward He.
Just as Han Shiming was about to order someone to take down Steward He, Nangong Yu put aside Steward He and walked in front of Han Shiming, the gloomy look on his face disappeared, and he said with a light smile: "Why should Governor Han bother with a butler, and besides, he is right, this king's loyalty to Jin Xi can be seen by the sun and the moon, he has been keeping to himself all these years, and has never done anything to be sorry for the emperor.
Han Shiming was stunned, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Nangong Yu helplessly and said: "Xiaguan just said that it was in accordance with the emperor's will, besides, if there is no emperor's will, even if Xiaguan has ten thousand guts, he will not dare to be so disrespectful to the prince, and please stop embarrassing the prince, the cause and effect of the matter, when you see the emperor, the prince will know in person."
Nangong Yu snorted lightly, put away the light smile on his face, looked directly at Han Shiming with dark eyes, and said lightly: "Okay, this king will go with you."
As soon as the words fell, he walked forward, Han Shiming slightly sideways to get out of the way, and the Imperial Forest Army behind him also let out the way, Steward He stood in place, looking at the back of the prince and drowning in the ranks of the Royal Forest Army, tears crisscrossed his face, the prince was dedicated to Jin Xi, brave and loyal, even if it was aimed at the emperor and the queen mother, it was because they were sorry for the prince first, and now, the prince will be convicted in one sentence, and the rebellious ministers and thieves? It seems that this time the emperor and the queen mother are ruthless.
The gate of King Yu's mansion is full of officers and soldiers and the Imperial Forest Army, as well as the people of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Zhong Cheng and Jiao Guanghai, Yin Mingshan and others are standing outside the gate of the mansion, when they see Nangong Yu, their eyes are flashing with helplessness, King Yu has been in the capital for many years, and after handing over the military power, he does not ask about the affairs of the court, he is fair and selfless, and he is sympathetic to the people, however, this time the emperor's evidence is conclusive, and King Yu does have the intention of rebellion, they are just acting on orders, although they feel sorry for King Yu, but as Jin Xi's court official, The Yulu who holds the imperial court naturally wants to maintain the Jinxi Dynasty, and he can't let go of those who have the intention of rebellion.
"Lord Wang", after several people saw Nangong Yu, they saluted first, and then, when Nangong Yu got into the carriage, the group walked towards the palace in a mighty manner.
Because of the martial law in the capital, the people of every household went and hid, but there were still some bold people who went out to watch, when they saw the people of the Royal Forest Army and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion coming out of the palace of King Yu, they knew in their hearts, and it didn't take long for this matter to spread in all corners of the capital, saying that King Yu was arrested by the emperor, and there were some good people, who learned a little insider, and spread rumors everywhere that King Yu had the intention of rebelling and was a rebellious minister and thief.
It is said that Shui Lianyue was brought into the palace by Xiao Lingzi, and was arranged in Jingxuexuan, and sent two palace maids to serve, which is very close to the inner palace, the scenery is elegant, and it is extremely remote, and few people come.
Just as Shui Lianyue settled Hongying and the others, Nangong Ling came to Jingxuexuan, and after retiring the palace maid, only Shui Lianyue and him were left in the house, he seemed to be in a good mood, sitting on the chair leisurely, cocking Erlang's legs, wearing a moonlight slim brocade suit, which set off his handsome appearance and was more handsome, and his deep eyes were also smiling.
Shui Lianyue sat aside, looking at him indifferently, and said in his heart, Nangong Yu has always been a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, and now, he is naturally happy to be able to get rid of Nangong Yu so smoothly, but he seems to have completely forgotten about it, and the consequences of doing so will be much more severe than good.
"Now that your task has been completed, stay in the palace in the future, I will give you the best life, whatever you want, I will bring it to you, and even the position of queen, I will reward you without hesitation, but, you have to settle down, don't try to escape, otherwise, I dare not guarantee that your family will not be harmed, you, can you understand"? After a long time, Nangong Ling spoke, with a dazzling smile on her lips, but also with a touch of ruthlessness.
"Is the emperor going to put me under house arrest? Now that the task is completed, I am no longer needed, the emperor should know what I want most, the queen's position, glory and wealth are insignificant to me, I want to be free, and please ask the emperor to be able to fulfill it", Shui Lianyue said lightly, although she knew that Nangong Ling would never let her go, but she still wanted to fight for it.
Nangong Ling seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Shui Lianyue's words, the smile on her lips was put away, her eyes flashed with a sharp color, and her voice was a little colder and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said?" I can't give you what you want, and I hope you can settle down, don't think that I don't dare to do anything to you."
"You are the emperor, naturally you have the final say, but I just want to be free, Nangong Yu's matter has now come true, why do you still refuse to let me go? If what you want is the secret of the treasure of the Golden Spirit Palace, then I will tell you, I don't know anything, whether you believe it or not, even if you put me under house arrest for the rest of my life, I don't know, that song is just something I overheard, and as for the treasure, I don't know at all."
"Slap", Nangong Ling slapped his palm on the corner of the table, and immediately stood up, frowned and glared at Shui Lianyue and shouted: "The secret of the treasure of Jinling Palace, I will not force you, I am already the lord of a country, I want the wind to be windy, I want the rain to be rainy, and I disdain that bit of treasure, so you just stay here obediently, and when Nangong Yu's matter is dealt with, I will make you the queen of Jin Xi, whether you want to or not, you are my person, I will say it again in the end, don't try to escape, because, I have laid a net around the heavens and the earth, and you can't escape at all."
As soon as the words fell, Nangong Ling walked towards the door angrily, Shui Lianyue looked at his back, and a chill flashed in her phoenix eyes, queen? Oh, she is already the princess of King Yu, if Nangong Ling dares to crown her as the queen, I believe that the Empress Dowager Chu will not agree to the first, even if the Empress Dowager Chu reluctantly agrees, the imperial concubine Situ Wan will not let her get her wish, her father is the general of Zhenguo, and his prestige in the court is quite high.
She wants to see how Nangong Ling will deal with herself.
Nangong Yu was brought into the palace by Han Shiming and others, but he did not lead him to see the emperor, and before he entered the inner palace, he was taken away by a team of guards holding the emperor's imperial token, and was imprisoned in a hidden dungeon in the inner palace.
In the dark and damp dungeon, only a small ray of light was refracted through the cracks, and the musty and rancid smell rushed into his nose, which made Nangong Yu sick to his stomach for a while, and finally got used to it, and ushered in the nightfall, those centipedes, scorpions, rats, and cockroaches all crawled out to move, he picked up the branches on the side, and kept driving away.
After a while, the small window of the dungeon opened, and a small basket tied with a rope fell, in which were placed a steamed bun and a plate of dusty pickles, Nangong Yu borrowed the night pearl he was carrying, and after barely seeing it clearly, he put it aside, it was not that he was expensive, when he was fighting, he had it when he ate bran and swallowed vegetables, not to mention that this was already very good, but he had no appetite, and now, the internal force of the body was suppressed by drugs, and it was purely a fish and meat that could be slaughtered, he couldn't figure it out, When did Nangong Ling's people give him the medicine?
The steamed buns and pickles were put aside, and soon there were rats and cockroaches crawling over and taking them for themselves, Nangong Yu frowned slightly, looking at the rats and cockroaches that snatched the food, the corners of his mouth were hooked, revealing a disdainful smile, Nangong Ling thought that everything would be fine if he was arrested? He was wrong, all these years, his efforts in the capital were not done in vain, and it was probably not so easy to convict him.
Looking up at the darkness around him, in a blink of an eye, the disdainful smile instantly turned into self-deprecation, he never thought that Nangong Ling would lock him up in such a secret dungeon in the inner palace, it seems that this time he really made a strict deployment, I am afraid that it is possible to secretly execute him, this time, he overestimated himself and underestimated Nangong Ling, even if his people broke into the palace, I am afraid they will not be able to find him.
