The emperor and the crown prince walked into the mourning hall side by side, and Nangong Yi stood aside, hanging his head.

The prince's gaze kept falling on Nangong Hui, who was kneeling over there, he didn't speak, frowning slightly, while the emperor glanced at him and said: "The hussar general is loyal and patriotic, everything he does in this life is for the sake of the country, but such a hero cannot live forever, it is really ...... What misfortune for our country. ”

"What the emperor said, if my father is here, I will be very pleased to hear it," Nangong Yi said, "But the Si people have passed away, and my father's unfinished business will not stop here, and there will be descendants to do ......it."

The emperor glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Yi'er, how old are you this year?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, I will be nineteen years old this year." Nangong Yi lowered his eyes and said respectfully with a face.

"At the age of nineteen, it's time to start a family," the Emperor sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "It's time for you to take your father's place, become a hussar general, and go on an expedition to the frontier." At the same time, it's time for you to marry a woman who can take care of your home. ”

Nangong Yi hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, I will ...... I didn't have any plans to do so, I was young and inexperienced, and I couldn't do it like my father. If I go to the battlefield, I'm afraid it will be...... You can't do it like your father, and you might mess up a lot of things. In this way, I will feel very guilty in my heart, Your Majesty, you see ......"

The emperor waved his hand: "When your father went on the expedition, he was only seventeen years old. Do you know that Huo Qu, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, was sick? When he went with his uncle, he wasn't as old as you. ”

The prince also said on the side: "I've always heard the general praise you, I think, but the little general is arrogant." ”

Nangong Yi sighed, looked at the coffin placed in the mourning hall, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to put a stick of incense on my father?" It is said that the two of you were very good friends back then. ”

"It should." The Emperor nodded.

Accompanied by Nangong Yi, he stepped forward to burn incense and worship, the emperor sighed a little, but Nangong Yi didn't say anything.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the prince walked in front of Nangong Hui, squatted down, and asked very lightly: "Hui'er, are you...... How does it feel? It's been a long time, how are you doing these days? ”

I don't know if it's the prince's own delusion, he always feels that Nangong Hui in front of him is paler and haggard than the one he saw before. But thinking that it was his father who died, Nangong Hui was like this, which is not unusual.

"I, I'm fine." Nangong Hui swallowed a mouthful of saliva and raised her hand to wipe the beads of sweat on her cheeks.

"I'm worried about you, I've been thinking about you." The prince sighed and reached over and grabbed Nangong Hui's hand.

Nangong Hui's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at the prince in front of her, and was speechless for a long time. The prince still thinks about her, and the prince still has her in his heart, this fact is like an inch of sunshine that Nangong Hui occasionally sees in rainy weather. But she hadn't been happy for too long, and after the incense burning, the emperor and Nangong Hui had already come over.

Seeing Nangong Yi, Nangong Hui hurriedly withdrew her hand from the prince's palm, lowered her head, and did not speak.

The prince thought that she was still afraid of the emperor, because the emperor canceled his marriage contract with Nangong Hui without authorization and had palpitations, immediately, the prince stood up and said: "Father, now that the general is no longer alive, the general is extremely distressed about such a daughter, if there is no one to take care of it, presumably Hui'er is such a weak woman is too pitiful, and the son thinks ......."

"Prince, have you forgotten your identity? What did I tell you in the first place? The Emperor frowned and interrupted him with a blank face.

"Father?" The prince was puzzled. The original emperor ...... What did you tell him? Even if he is a prince, shouldn't he have what he wants in his life? It is too unfair to have to listen to his father together.

"Your Majesty, is it because my sister is not innocent and has no way to be worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Nangong Yi asked.

The emperor waved his hand: "Miss Nangong is both talented and beautiful, where is she not worthy of our prince?" It's just because Miss Nangong and the crown prince are not very compatible, so even if I do, there is no way to give marriage. ”

Where is it unworthy? Nangong Hui listened to him, and her mood became more and more irritable.

It is clear that the emperor has always opposed her being with the crown prince because of her innocence, even if her father is no longer there, the emperor will never let go of his mouth in such a matter.

The crown prince frowned: "But Miss Nangong is also very old, and so is the son-in-law...... The sons have always lacked a wife who can be in the Lord. Father, you see that Erchen and Miss Nangong are in love, and in the end, it should be ......"

"Shut up!" The Emperor suddenly raised his voice and interrupted him fiercely.

The prince was frightened by this, and took a step back, not daring to say anything else.

Recently, the emperor has been easily angry, and often makes a series of excessive and irrational actions, if he really angers the emperor, maybe he will not even be able to keep the identity of the crown prince.

Seeing that the father and son were so tense, Nangong Yi stood up and said: "The emperor is angry, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also worried about his sister." The love of the people of the world for my father is second only to the emperor, and now that my father has died, I am going to go on an expedition again, if my sister is left alone at home, I am not at ease, and the people of the world must not be at ease. ”

"So, Yi'er, do you also mean that you want me to marry your sister to the crown prince?" The Emperor glanced at him.

On the emperor's face, it was impossible to see whether his expression was happy or angry for a while, and it was impossible to discern what he meant.

Nangong Yi said: "If you go back to the emperor, the royal family is royal, if you marry the prince, you will have to assist the sixth palace in the future, I know my sister, where is she the material for the assistant sixth palace?" ”

The emperor's expression softened slightly, and said: "It's not like that, I just think that your sister and the crown prince are not a good match, and I am worried that because of such a marriage, my good country and society will be ruined." I'm thinking about the people of the world. ”

Nangong Hui gritted her teeth, and secretly slandered in her heart: This emperor is really shameless. To dislike her is to dislike her, why bother to look like a decent gentleman, saying that it is for the sake of the common people in the world! It's really cheeky!

It hurt her and the prince, they are clearly two people who love each other, but now they have to suffer from separation because of the emperor......

Nangong Hui is unwilling! She gritted her teeth desperately, and a not-so-good thought suddenly appeared in her heart, which could be solved once and for all. That thought startled herself, because it was too terrible, Nangong Hui shuddered, and quickly extinguished that thought.

That's not to be done...... She must not be so cranky.

The three men over there talked about other things, and the emperor and the crown prince took their leave to leave. Before they left, Nangong Hui looked up at the prince more, and found that the prince was also looking at him, and couldn't help but show a sad look again.

Seeing off the emperor and the crown prince, Nangong Yi walked back to the mourning hall and stood still in front of Nangong Hui.

He looked at her a few more times and sneered: "What, because you can't marry the crown prince, you're sad?" ”

"I don't dare." Nangong Hui lowered her eyes.

"Actually, you should be sad, if it were me, I would be sad too," Nangong Yi sighed, "You and the prince are not childhood sweethearts, have you already made a private agreement for life?" Now because of the emperor, you want to marry someone else, and the prince also wants to marry another woman, isn't there any unwillingness in your heart? ”

Nangong Hui lowered her head and frowned: "But...... Even if I'm not reconciled, I can't ......"

"There is no way? How can there be no way? Nangong Yi suddenly squatted down in front of her, stretched out a hand, picked her chin, and forced her to look at herself.

"What can be done?" After asking such a question, Nangong Hui regretted it. At the same time, she had a very bad premonition in her heart. It's like something big is going to happen.

"You know what I mean, Miss Nangong." Nangong Yi smiled and let go of her.

He stood up, looked at the tablet above the mourning hall, folded his hands behind his back, and did not speak.

Nangong Hui took a deep breath and looked at him: "You...... You can't do something like that, that's different from the death of your father, that's ...... That's dangerous! ”

"Is it dangerous? Didn't you experience the danger when you fed the poison to your father? When you blamed Huaixiang for a lot of things, did you already experience the danger? Could it be that danger only scares you and doesn't give you a sense of pleasure? Nangong Yi turned his head and looked at her deeply.

"I ......" Nangong Hui didn't know what to say.

Nangong Yi smiled: "Listen to me, I promise that you can live and fly with your crown prince, and this throne, such a place, is guaranteed to shed a lot of blood, if you and the prince share the mountains and rivers together, it will also be unfair to the two of you." I thought, I should have set you free. ”

After a pause, Nangong Yi said again: "You have helped me do a good job, I will naturally arrange for you to reunite with your younger brother and your crown prince to ensure that you will be happy for the rest of your life." If you don't listen to me, or if you reveal my plans, you know what will happen. ”

Nangong Hui lowered her head: "I know." ”

Nangong Yi glanced at the tablet a few times, turned away and left, Nangong Hui looked at his back, his eyes were full of infinite worry and helplessness.

He is here, he wants to seek power and usurp the throne.
