Chapter 149: Return to the Imperial City to Find the Truth
Nanzhi's memory was restored very skillfully, but the rejuvenation Gu was delayed, and he didn't know if it was useful, so Su Ziyu still planned to stay in Nanjiang first, but Nanzhi didn't think so.
Nanzhi remembered the previous incident, and now she wants to leave even more and return to the capital, after all, now, the assassination of the emperor of Nanguo, there is another matter of Princess Nanzhi for her to solve.
So at night, Nanzhi set off on his own with the Golden Scale Guard, and didn't even tell Su Ziyu, first, for fear that he would stop him, and second, because his identity was still a fugitive, and it was inappropriate to appear in the imperial city.
It will take at least half a month to return to the sad imperial capital, and no one will stop them along the way, and their trip will be smooth. Nanzhi first asked the Golden Scales Guard to hide, and went to the fourth brother's mansion by himself.
Now that the crown prince has succeeded to the throne, the four princes have also been crowned kings, and they have an independent mansion, Nanzhi inquired all the way, came to the back door, and entered over the wall.
The fourth prince, King Xuan, is dealing with things in the study, and since the emperor was seriously injured, he has not yet recovered, and some things have fallen on his shoulders.
Nam Zhi hid around the corner and happened to see a woman bringing pastries to King Xuan. Nanzhi saw that the person was a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the year before last, when they went out of the palace for a night tour, the peach blossom that the fourth brother encountered, but he didn't expect them to be married.
Nanzhi was annoyed, blaming himself for being missing for so long, and he didn't even come to the fourth brother to get married, so he was half a matchmaker.
King Xuan was dealing with affairs, and when he saw the princess coming, he immediately put down his pen, smiled and held her hand for a while, "It's good to let the next person do these things, why do you need to do it yourself, and you're still pregnant, don't work too hard, you know?" ”
The woman's face flushed slightly, "It's been less than a month, it's nothing, don't work too hard." ”
Nan Zhi looked at them greasy and crooked, strange and numb, turned her eyes and didn't look at it, but the voice came word by word, Nan Zhi frowned, when did she try this with Su Ziyu, it seems that men eat that set, but when she thinks of Su Ziyu, her heart is also worried, I don't know if he will be very angry if he leaves without permission?
A moment later, the princess left, and Namzhi appeared around the corner and climbed through the window into the study.
When King Xuan heard the sound, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, startling him, and then he was about to call someone.
Nanzhi immediately stepped forward and pulled off his veil, "Fourth brother, it's me, Nanzhi!" ”
King Xuan was immediately silenced, and when he saw Nanzhi's appearance, he instantly blinked in distress, "Nanzhi!" You damn girl! He stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder, "It's really you, but what's the matter with this face?" ”
Nanzhi smiled indifferently, "Fourth brother, I came to you for something." ”
"Of course I know you're in trouble." King Xuan knocked her on the head, "Look at it, I've only been out for a few months, and I've injured myself," said it, staring at her face very distressed, his flower-like sister.
Nanzhi pursed his lips, hugged the fourth brother's arm and shook it, with a cunning expression, "Isn't there already a Nanzhi princess in the palace?" Isn't my brother afraid that I'm a fake? ”
King Xuan reached out and knocked her head again, "Dead girl, I still don't recognize you?" At least we've lived together for six or seven years, I don't know about you, the one in the palace is not the same as you, I have to admit that she is a ghost! ”
Nanzhi's eyes rolled, "Then why did Father Emperor admit her?" Do you think your father will not recognize you? ”
King Xuan pulled Nanzhi to sit down, "That's because Concubine Rou is back!" ”
Nanzhi's eyes widened, "Yes?" ”
"Yes, it's your mother, but she," King Xuan said, at some loss for words.
Nanzhi frowned, if it was really his mother, how could he bring someone back with him, could it be that he really was? "It's okay for my brother to say it directly!"
"Alas, after the woman came back, she took the Nanzhi in the palace, she went to see her father alone that night, and she didn't know what she said, so the emperor recognized the Nanzhi, but gave her a new title, called Princess Mingyue."
Nanzhi was a little depressed in her heart, thinking that her mother was dead, but she didn't expect her to appear in the end, and she brought another person who looked exactly like herself.
"Brother, I want to enter the palace!" Namji looked up at him, her eyes shining.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan, how can you have time to enter the palace today?" The leader of the Imperial City Guards greeted respectfully.
"Oh, it's empty today, I want to go and see Your Majesty, you guys are busy!" King Xuan nodded at them and was about to walk in.
"Your Majesty, why is this little guy still wearing a mask today?" The guard looked at him strangely.
"This is the little slave that this king saved on the street a few days ago, the etiquette is thorough, the words are less clever, so he took it with him, but his face was disfigured, so he brought a mask, so as not to be scary!"
The guard nodded, and seeing that King Xuan explained so clearly, he let them in.
"The palace is still under martial law?" Nam Zhi asked in a low voice.
"Alas, the emperor is still lying on the couch now, the injuries on his body are not optimistic, and there are unknown poisons, alas!" King Xuan sighed as he spoke.
Nanzhi frowned, "Take me to meet my brother first, and then I'll go to my father." ”
"Okay, let's go meet it."
When King Xuan came with people, it happened that the imperial doctor had just finished diagnosing and was now about to leave, and King Xuan had cleared the others, so Nanzhi dared to go to the tent and look at the people lying on the bed.
The emperor has been in bed for a long time, his body has lost a lot of weight, and now he is still a little energetic, before meeting, this person looked at himself with a sad face, and saw King Xuan standing aside and watching, and there were some guesses in his heart. "Namgygy?"
"It's me, brother." Namzhi walked in and took off the mask on her face.
The emperor was surprised for a moment, then looked at her with pity, stretched out his hand and touched her cheek, "How did you do this!" I've suffered a lot outside! ”
Nanzhi felt sad, it felt good to have family care, "No, it's all over." ”
The emperor looked at Nanzhi and suddenly sighed heavily, "Nanzhi has also heard about it, the princess Nanzhi who suddenly appeared in the palace is the one who was named Mingyue." ”
Nanzhi nodded, "I came to the palace this time for this purpose. ”
"That's still smart, I know to go to your fourth brother first." The emperor smiled softly, and then his face was full of sadness for a moment, "I can't interfere in this matter, my father seems to have decided on this matter, and I don't know why that woman looks exactly like you?" ”
Nanzhi was surprised, "Actually, when I was in Southern Xinjiang, I saw that woman, and I was very shocked!" Nanzhi remembered, didn't Chu Ci always send people to follow? Thinking about it later, I was afraid that I didn't take care of this.
"It's okay brother, I'll go to meet my father, there will always be a truth about this matter!" Nan Zhi patted Nan Ke's hand, said a few words and walked out, but didn't go to the main entrance, turned the window and went to the emperor's bedroom, leaving King Xuan here to answer him, Nan Zhi was actually not sure in her heart, she didn't know what happened before, she always felt that there was a big secret waiting for her to reveal!
When Nanzhi came, Concubine Rou happened to be there, and she seemed to be playing chess with the old emperor, and the two of them looked at the appearance of the old husband and wife, Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh, the old emperor is like this, what does the queen mother think.
Nanzhi looked at the woman, sure enough, she was stunning, only in the world, although she was old, she still had charm, but she didn't understand very well, since she didn't die back then, where did she go, why didn't she come back, and what did she want to do when she came back now?
Nanzhi was hiding in the shadows, but he was suddenly discovered by the secret guards of the Emperor Taishang, and had to jump down, looking at the two people in the pavilion who were a little panicked, and didn't know what to say for a while.
The moment the old emperor saw Nanzhi, his eyebrows seemed to be unbearable, but he quickly returned to normal, "Nanzhi, why don't you even call your father?" ”
Nanzhi blinked, suddenly the tip of his nose was sour, he knelt in front of him a few steps closer, and his voice was a little choked, "Daughter to see my father!" ”
The old emperor's eyes trembled fiercely, and he looked at Concubine Rou's expression, seeing that she was fine, he waved his hand to the people on the ground, "Get up first!" ”
Nanzhi knew in his heart that his father was no longer the father emperor he used to be, and he was already cold to himself, "Thank you, father!" ”
Nanzhi stood up and just met Concubine Rou's eyes, that look was like looking at another enemy, Nanzhi's heart immediately cooled, this Concubine Rou was hostile to herself.
Nanzhi sneered in his heart, it seems that he is really unknown from a distance, who would recognize his child by mistake?
