At this time, in the courtyard, the emperor, the guards, and Nangong You, were facing each other.

The emperor knew that it was useless to order people, but would kill and injure many guards, and to be honest, he didn't want to do anything to Nangong You. This Empress Dowager Xu, the emperor is not to be seen in his heart. Because she has always sat firmly in the back seat, the emperor's biological mother, Concubine Hui, will always be just a "concubine", not a "queen", and she will only be a concubine until she dies. However, the emperor can't do anything to the Empress Dowager Xu, so he can only provide for her well and let her live for the rest of her life.

"Brother Three Emperors!" Nangong Chen shouted as soon as he came in. Then I remembered that I should bow to my father first.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "That's it." Then he said to the guards, "Stand down, all of you." ”

The guards withdrew. These guards are all from the Yulin Army, they were once under King Xuan, and they all know that His Royal Highness King Xuan will not harm the emperor.

Nangong Chen asked, "Third Emperor Brother, what the hell is going on?" ”

Nangong You's eyes were bloodshot and said, "Yan'er is dead." ”

"What?" Nangong Chen was startled, "...... last night" He hurriedly stopped again. He wanted to say, wasn't it okay last night?

Nangong You said: "She was killed by someone. ”

Nangong Chen was shocked again. Who wants to kill the three emperors' sisters-in-law?

At this time, the emperor said: "Without evidence, don't make presumptuous assertions." Everyone saw that Xiaoyan committed suicide by cutting her wrists, is this how she killed someone? ”

Nangong Yu said: "I have interrogated all the palace people, but none of them have sent the knife to Yan'er's room, where did the knife come from?" ”

The emperor sighed and said, "What if the palace people don't tell the truth?" ”

Nangong Yu said: "Yan'er has no reason to commit suicide, she is still pregnant with our child in her belly, her kind of character, father, do you think Yan'er will commit suicide?" Nangong You cried word by word.

The emperor sighed, he also felt that Ye Xiaoyan would not commit suicide. But it wasn't suicide, and who killed it? Looking at the Queen Mother's appearance, although she was the most suspicious, the emperor felt that this made it more and more obvious that the Queen Mother was not a real murderer.

The emperor said: "Even if Xiaoyan is killed by him, it will not be killed by the Queen Mother." You also remember that the Queen Mother told you at that time that if Xiaoyan lost her life, she would pay you with her life. If the Queen Mother really wanted to kill her, she wouldn't have said such a thing. ”

The anger and resentment in Nangong's chest kept rolling. He just wants someone to pay for Yan'er's life and bury her with her. Bah! No, those people are not qualified to accompany her to the funeral, and he will accompany her in person if she wants to accompany the funeral.

Nangong Chen saw that the third emperor brother was very unstable, one moment was angry, and the other was sad. He knew how the Third Emperor Brother was feeling at the moment, because they had been here last night.

Nangong Chen said: "Brother Sanhuang, it may also be the sister-in-law of the Third Emperor who someone from outside came in and killed. ”

Nangong Yu was stunned. Yes, if they can get in, so can others.

Nangong Chen saw that the expression of the Third Emperor Brother was somewhat relaxed, and said, "Third Emperor Brother, think about it again, what else is suspicious?" ”

Nangong You thought carefully. He could only think that Yan'er had a calm expression on her face, as if she was asleep. Is it smoke? Stunned people first, and then commit murder, disguised as suicide? But who wants to kill Yan'er? At present, he can't think of anything except the Queen Mother and the Xu family.

When the emperor heard Nangong Chen's words, he also thought so. Only, what is the purpose of this man? Fight against the Xuan King? Framing the Queen Mother? The emperor was puzzled, but he didn't have a clue for a while.

The emperor said: "Xiaoyan's death, I will send someone to investigate. But if you do something to the Queen Mother, how should I punish you? And you stabbed Zi Shu, putting her life in danger. Although she is your side concubine, you have the right to dispose of her, but after all, she is the daughter of a minister, and I also have to give Xu Shilang an explanation. You can't just do whatever you want with royalty. ”

Nangong You only thought at the moment, without Ye Xiaoyan, he didn't want anything. said: "The sons are at the disposal of their father. ”

The emperor thought for a while and said, "I cut off your status as a prince and demote you to a commoner, can you accept it?" ”

"Father's grace!" Nangong Chen hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Nangong You, and said: "There is something wrong with the three emperor brothers, but there is a reason for it, please ask my father to read the pain of the third emperor brother's loss of his wife, and open the net." ”

Nangong You didn't have any idea about such a disposition, and was even a little happy. He decided not to marry any woman in the future, if he was still a prince or a prince, I don't know how many people would want to marry into the palace. Whether it is a civilian, no one will ever fight his idea again.

Nangong You knelt down and bowed: "Thank you, Father Emperor Longen!" ”

"Brother ...... Three Emperors" Nangong Chen was worried on the side.

The emperor said, "Although you have been demoted to a commoner, you are still my son, you must remember this. ”

"Yes."

Nangong Chen looked at his father, looked at the third emperor brother, and seemed to understand something.

The emperor continued: "As for the Xuanwang Mansion, take off the plaque of the palace, and leave that place to you." ”

"Yes, thank you, Father."

Nangong You's heart was like ashes, he didn't care about anything anymore. Without Yan'er, he has reverted back to the same as before, but without the identity of a prince. Now, though, his legs can walk.

Yeon'er! Did you come into this world just to heal my leg? Nangong You laughed miserably in her heart.

When the Queen Mother heard the emperor's treatment of Nangong You, she was surprised. She hurriedly said to the queen: "Queen, the mourning family does not blame King Xuan. Hurry up and tell the emperor that the mourning family doesn't blame King Xuan. ”

The queen was so satisfied with this disposition, and her heart was simply happy, but she said to the queen mother with a very sad face: "King Xuan is very disrespectful and rebellious to the queen mother, even if you don't blame King Xuan, the emperor must deal with it, otherwise there is any ethical discipline in this world." ”

The Queen Mother said: "But isn't this a bit heavy, the mourning family can punish him for thinking about it behind closed doors." ”

The queen said: "It's a big rebellion, it's a crime of killing heads on ordinary people, and the emperor just stripped him of his title and demoted him to a commoner, which is already an open net." Queen Mother, you are the most honorable person in our entire dynasty, the mourning family and the emperor must respect you and serve you, these unfilial sons, you don't intercede for them. ”

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded. Yes, if other princes dare to slap her, she must let the emperor deal with it heavily. However, that is King Xuan, Zishu has just married into King Xuan's mansion, King Xuan was stripped of his title, Zi Shu's position as a concubine suddenly became a civilian concubine, the queen mother is so angry in her heart! She felt that the emperor did it on purpose. Doesn't the emperor value the three princes very much, since the three princes were injured, the Yulin Army under the command of the three princes was not handed over to others, and the emperor kept it for the three princes. However, at the same time as the emperor's decree came down, he also issued another holy decree, appointing the fourth prince Nangong Chen as the commander of the Yulin Army.

The Queen Mother is in vain, there is no place for the three princes in the court now!
