Lin Song personally led people to look for them all the way downstream along the river, and after searching for a day and a night, he finally found the prince on the river beach downstream.

His whole body was stiff and showed signs of struggle, his skin was pale, it was extremely cold to the touch, he was completely breathless, and there was mushroom-like foam and a little mud and sand on his mouth and nose.

The news of the prince's death soon spread to the uproar, the whole country mourned, Nan Xiao was suspected of murdering the prince, cut Lin Song's military power, and sent other people to control the water, Lin Song was escorted by Nan Jinyan, and returned to the Southern Jin Dynasty in advance.

……

Today's court, Nan Xiao's face is tired, and he coughs lightly from time to time, and the ministers' eyes are constantly looking for Nan Jinyan in the court, the former prince was martyred, he is the new prince in the future, and he is waiting for Nan Xiao's decree in his heart.

Nan Xiao waved his hand lightly, and his father-in-law took out a holy decree from his sleeve and said in a loud voice: "All the ministers kneel...... Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, since ancient times, the emperor succeeded the heavens and raised the royal area, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society has no borders.

I have been working hard all night, looking up to my ancestors, entrusting me to the most important, bearing Ao Yanqing, and ending in Yuanliang.

The three princes Nan Jinyan said that the day is Yingqi and the talent is beautiful, so today with the ceremony of carrying the inspection, subduing public opinion, I would like to tell the heaven and earth, the temple, and the community, and grant Nan Jinyan to the treasure, set up as the crown prince, and be in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years and the heart of the four seas, I admire this ......! ”

Nan Jinyan wore a bright yellow gown embroidered with five dragons, strode into the hall from outside the hall, walked up the steps step by step, knelt down, solemnly took the treasure, got up with the crown, slowly turned around, and accepted the worship of the ministers.

After the court, Nan Jinyan came to "visit" the queen, since the prince "martyred", the queen has been in a trance, in a trance, sometimes good and sometimes bad, sometimes he knows people, sometimes he seems to be unrecognizable, and he was grounded in the palace by Nan Xiao.

Now this dormitory is a cold palace, Nan Xiao remembered the relationship between husband and wife in the past, and did not abolish the queen, but just abolished the palace people, and originally let Aunt Ji Rong serve alone, but Nan Jinyan casually found a reason to replace it with his nurse and grandmother.

"Slaves and maids, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Mama saw Nan Jinyan coming, and hurriedly saluted.

Nan Jinyan looked at the queen who caught her shadow in the garden, and replied lightly: "No courtesy!" How is the queen lately? ”

"The slave looks like she's really crazy, and runs after the shadows all day long." Mama said, glaring at the queen.

Nan Jinyan walked over and saluted the queen and said, "Son, please say hello to the queen mother!" ”

"Prince? Hey? Are you the crown prince? Hahaha......" The queen looked at Nan Jinyan, with a stupid smile on her face, but tears in her eyes, "Hahaha...... You are the crown prince...... Prince ......"

The queen laughed and staggered towards the corridor, Mama glanced at Nan Jinyan, Nan Jinyan motioned for her to stand in place, and he walked towards the queen.

"Ahh …… Ghost! Ghosts! The queen saw Nan Jinyan coming over, sat on the ground against the porch, and held her head in fear and shouted.

Nan Jinyan leaned over to look at her, the queen hugged her head tighter, and he leaned into the queen's ear and whispered: "Don't be afraid, the queen mother, soon, the son will let you reunite with the imperial brother." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked to Mama and ordered: "Serve well, don't let her die first!" Nan Jinyan turned his head and glanced at the queen again, swept the cold and deserted queen's bedroom, and said with a smile and respectfully: "I wish the queen mother a long life and a longevity better than Nanshan." ”

The queen leaned on the porch and held her head, looking at Nan Jinyan's back, her eyes were wet with tears, she didn't believe that the prince had drowned, but now she was even more convinced that the prince's death was inseparable from Nan Jinyan!

However, now that she has lost her son and has no support, how can Nan Jinyan tolerate her? Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, I'm afraid her life will be short, she can't die, she wants the truth.

Nan Jinyan hooked her finger at Mama in the queen's bedroom, Mama came over with her ear, Nan Jinyan whispered: "Keep an eye on her for the palace to see if it's crazy or crazy." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured!"

After he finished explaining, he turned around and got into the sedan chair, the queen had better be really crazy, otherwise, she would soon be sent to see the prince, in short, she would not be disobeyed.

As soon as Nan Jinyan returned to the East Palace, a guard hurriedly came to report, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, the villain just heard that His Majesty has issued an order, as if he wants to behead Lord Lin!" ”

"What?" Nan Jinyan was shocked, dragged Peiyu down and threw it to the guards, and said hurriedly: "You quickly go and intercept the holy decree, just say that this palace will let you go!" He himself rushed towards the imperial study of the Xuanzheng Palace.

Nan Jinyan was stopped by the guards as soon as he arrived at the door, Dan Fu walked out of the imperial study, his face was not shocked, didn't this Taifu have a good relationship with Lin Song on weekdays? Why is there no rush at all?

"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Dan Fu bowed.

Nan Jinyan looked at Dan Fu and asked suspiciously, "Tai Fu is not in a hurry?" ”

"Weichen is stupid, I don't know what His Highness is asking?" Dan Fu's heart tightened slightly, Nan Jinyan was not the prince of the past, and he had to be careful everywhere when talking to him.

"Isn't Taifu here to intercede for Lord Lin?" Nan Jinyan felt more and more that there was something wrong with this Dan Fu.

Dan Fu's mind turned, and he said: "The world is big, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't not understand this truth, right? He thought for a while and said: "If the prince is here to intercede today, Weichen advises you, more things are better than less things!" ”

Nan Jinyan said with a negative hand: "Mrs. Xie reminds!" ”

"Wechen retired ......"

After Dan Fu left, Nan Jinyan tried several times, but failed to enter the Xuanzheng Palace, Nan Xiao knew that Nan Jinyan would definitely come to intercede, and ordered that Nan Jinyan would not be seen early in the morning, so he knelt down with a plop.

The father-in-law hurriedly came to the imperial study and reported softly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been kneeling outside the palace for a long time, and the ground is cold, why don't you let His Highness in?" ”

"If he wants to kneel, let him kneel......" Nan Xiao closed his eyes and leaned on the couch, and said slowly.

Nan Xiao wanted to discuss Lin Song's affairs with Dan Fu in the imperial study, and Dan Fu proposed to cut Lin Song's military power, but Nan Xiao was afraid of Lin Song's private soldiers, so Dan Fu insisted that Nan Xiao behead Lin Song, and then collect private soldiers to prevent future troubles.

It's just that Nan Xiao still has doubts in his heart, he doesn't understand why this Dan Fu suddenly changed his mind? Didn't you advocate killing Lin Song before? Why can't you wait so much to let him behead Lin Song now?

The smell of benzoin in the incense burner on the couch was slow, Nan Xiao's breathing gradually became even, and his father-in-law took a thin quilt and gently covered it for him, and turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

"Old slave, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" The father-in-law helped Nan Jinyan up, glanced at the imperial study, and whispered: "Your Highness, go back, Your Majesty will rest now." ”

"But there is something important in the palace to meet my father...... Nan Jinyan looked anxious, pulled her father-in-law aside, and asked, "I heard that my father wants to behead Lin Song?" Has it been decreed? ”

When the father-in-law heard this, the prince really wanted to intercede, and hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness must not mention this matter, you have just entered the East Palace, listen to the old slave's persuasion, don't worry about this matter!" ”

"Why?" Nan Jin was puzzled.
