Chapter 242: The Punishment for Him
Nan Baoyi hung her head.
She knew that this guy must have already arranged everything after the prison.
She even suspected that even this trip to prison was deliberately arranged by him.
After all, she didn't know enough about court politics to understand the game between him and Shen Jiang.
The lobby was silent, and the jumping candles beeped.
After a long time, Xiao Yi suddenly said, "Go and take refuge in Shen Jiang." β
Nan Baoyi was surprised: "What?!" β
Xiao Yi looked at her quietly.
His gaze was so firm that it dispelled Nan Baoyi's suspicion that he had heard it wrong.
She bit her lower lip and remembered the words of her second brother outside the palace gate yesterday.
- You are the cleanest card.
In other words, the second brother and Emperor Qingyang took her out of the matter of forcing the palace, just to send her to Shen Jiang cleanly.
The forces of the Heavenly Pivot were unable to penetrate the Imperial Palace.
They asked her to be the eyeliner of Queen Shen's side.
She shook her head: "Empress Shen won't believe me." β
Xiao Yi held her hand firmly: "Take me as a gift." β
"Second brotherβ"
Xiao Yi held her hand and suddenly tightened it, blocking all her next words.
His phoenix eyes are deep and dark, hiding a confident calculation.
The eyes are facing each other.
Nan Baoyi couldn't bear it, and stubbornly opened her pale little face.
Xiao Yi leaned into her ear: "Don't be soft-hearted. If you want to overthrow a dynasty, if you want to change the face of the world, you can't complete it without bloodshed. Nan Jiaojiao, the person in power who can climb up step by step, no one is soft-hearted. Not only can we not be soft-hearted towards the enemy, but we must also be soft-hearted to ourselves. β
Nan Baoyi's eyes were red, and she looked at him sadly.
He was light-hearted: "As for why I voluntarily went to prison...... Xiao Zizhong is about to return to Beijing, and the matter of establishing a prince is bound to be put on the agenda. Nan Jiaojiao, if I don't go to prison today, Shen Jiang will still find an excuse to demote me to a concubine or even kill me in order to make way for Xiao Zizhong. Do you understand? β
Nan Baoyi's hand grasping the hem of the robe tightened and tightened.
She finally lowered her eyelashes in resignation and said in a muffled voice, "I know......"
The two of them haven't had lunch yet.
Nan Baoyi opened the food box that Yuwei had prepared for her in the morning.
The food box contains flower cakes, which are neatly arranged and delicate.
She picked up an apricot cheese and fed it to Xiao Yi's lips: "The aftertaste is made by herself, it tastes better than the taste sold in restaurants outside, taste it?" β
Xiao Yi disliked.
It's a sweet thing, and he doesn't like it at all.
However, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and he was reluctant to refuse.
He lowered his head and took a small bite.
The little girl's eyes were shining: "Is it delicious?" β
He nodded: "It's delicious, as sweet as you." β
"Second brother, in such a situation, don't talk about love anymore, right?"
"That won't work. It's the knife on the neck, and it's the same thing to say. β
Nan Bao is short of breath.
Remembering that in his previous life, he was besieged by an army of two million, and he was still able to sit in the military tent standing still, quietly wiping her ashes, and pouring out his thoughts to the altar, and she couldn't say anything to refute it.
Afternoon. Book bar
Wei Taishi demanded that Xiao Yi be sentenced to exile in southern Xinjiang, and Shen Yichao agreed.
Nan Baoyi proposed: "Instead of being exiled for thousands of miles, it is better to be reduced to a concubine." Xiao Daoyan is not a mediocre person, if he instigated the people in southern Xinjiang to establish themselves as kings, then would Wei Taishi and Shen Xiaolangjun be able to bear the consequences? After all, he has a history of rebellion. β
She made a lot of sense, and the pair of Weng sons-in-law were speechless for a while.
Wei Taishi's chubby palm was coiled with two walnuts.
He smiled, and refused to let go of Xiao Yi easily, and said softly: "Since Lord Nan believes that Xiao Daoyan will rebel, the old man thinks that it is better to sentence him to imprisonment for life in Guang'en Temple." β
"That's not going to work."
Nan Baoyi objected.
Imprisoned for life, it's inconvenient to do something secretly.
She smiled: "I heard that Emperor Yongwu once worked as a slave in the Colosseum. Now that the Colosseum has reopened, it is better to send Xiao Daoyan in. What do you think? β
All three men were a little surprised.
To go to the Colosseum as a slave is a matter of life!
Didn't you say that the five girls of the Nan family loved Xiao Daoyan so much that they couldn't extricate themselves?
Why are you so ruthless?!
Nan Baoyi got up and turned around beside Xiao Yi with his hands: "As we all know, Xiao Daoyan is the man I fancie. You sentenced him to life in prison, how can I renew my relationship with him? The three adults might as well sell me a face and punish him as a slave in the Colosseum.
"Tomorrow, I will buy the Colosseum for a great deal of money, and I will be its owner. If he dares to rebel, my Nan family will be guilty of the same crime. With my Nanjia Manmen as a guarantee, the queen can rest assured, and the Manchu Dynasty can rest assured. And I myself can get him as I wish. β
The girl talked eloquently.
That confident posture, that domineering aura, and that domineering arrogance, it is just like the second Queen Shen!
She does make sense of every word.
Wei Taishi pondered that instead of letting Xiao Daoyan be imprisoned for life in Guang'en Temple, it was indeed better to let him go to the Colosseum as a slave to relieve his anger.
He was pleased with the offer and was the first to agree.
Naturally, others have no objections.
Nan Baoyi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
β¦β¦
After solving Xiao Yi's matter, Nan Baoyi was summoned by Shen Jiang unexpectedly.
She went straight to the palace.
Through the bead curtain, she respectfully knelt down on one knee: "Say hello to the queen." β
Shen Jiang sat in front of the makeup mirror table and said casually, "You come in." β
Nan Baoyi stepped into the bead curtain.
Shen Jiang handed her a jade comb: "Comb your hair for the palace." β
Nan Baoyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and combed her long hair seriously.
Shen Jiang stared at the girl in the mirror, and his voice was lazy: "Why, humiliating Ah Yan so much, do you want to take him as a gift and take refuge in the palace?" β
The girl was frank: "Yes." β
Shen Jiang smiled: "Ah Yan and Qingyang took you out of the palace change in order to arrange you to be a spy by the side of the palace, and the palace knows it." Your every move is under the nose of this palace, and you are embarrassed to say that you have taken refuge in this palace? β
"The evaluation of the family is imminent, if the Nan family wants to be in the family, they have to take refuge in Niangniang." Nan Baoyi combed her hair very patiently, "What's more, if the second brother is reduced to a slave, he is the private property of the minister, and there will be no other woman to share him with the minister." The queen mother, the minister knows very well that it is the best choice to take refuge in you, both public and private. β
As she spoke, she slowly raised her eyelashes: "I heard that when Niangniang was young, she personally led thousands of troops and horses to sweep through the countries. Niangniang has such doubts, but because she is getting older and timid, she doesn't dare to accept Weichen? β
Shen Jiang played with Jin Bu Shao.
The girl's eyebrows in the mirror are firm, and this stubborn look is similar to her when she was young.
Shen Jiang laughed.
She said: "Since the palace has been in power, women have been allowed to be officials. It's a pity that in the past 20 years, no woman has been as bold as you. Nan Baoyi, this palace appreciates you and is willing to eat your agitation. You want to take refuge in this palace, and this palace allows it. If the Nan family wants to be ranked in the top grade, you can. However, you have to do something for Hongu to prove your loyalty. β
Nan Baoyi put down the jade comb.
She arched her hand: "Don't give up when you die." β
