Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Storm is Coming
Sure enough, the road was unimpeded, and the two of them kept a low profile and did not attract the attention of others.
The killer who was dormant on the official road on the other side waited for a long time and did not see the target appear, the sun was shining on this weather was really hot, and the leader only waited for a few people on horseback, and they were not the target, and there was no carriage passing by after that.
"Didn't you say they would go the official way?"
On the yin side, the voice only sounded in his ears, and the person who delivered the news couldn't help but tremble, and replied in a low voice to the impatient eyes.
"There are variables in this matter, and the original news was given by the master."
What this person means is to blame the master? The leader squinted at him.
"Divide into small groups and scatter in all directions, be sure to rob them."
"Yes."
Soon, all roads had dispersed, and several figures dissipated and leaped away like breaking through the air.
Frost King's Mansion.
Luo Qingge gave the copied scriptures to the steward Jiang Mama, and handed them over to the princess for inspection as usual, since the last time the emperor ordered her to be grounded and punished for copying, she no longer knew about the rumors outside and the affairs of the government and the opposition, and her belly was getting bigger day by day, but Du Sanniang was sensitive to the news.
"Ge'er, let me tell you that the emperor in the palace is seriously ill and dying."
Du Sanniang said in a low voice, while putting the tray of decoction in front of Luo Qingge.
"Oh, the emperor is not young anymore, and it is normal to be old."
"Now that the crown prince is about to succeed to the throne, why don't you say that the prince can..."
"What can be?"
"I heard that the prince wants..."
Luo Qingge was taken aback, immediately understood what she wanted to say, and immediately covered Du Sanniang's mouth, she understood it so much, she was not stupid, and naturally knew what she hadn't said yet.
"I see."
Nangong Shuang has been thinking about cooperation with Nangong Lichuan since last night, and they met again when he went to visit his father today, and the two walked together for a while.
What shocked him was that Nangong Lichuan already had an ally.
"I don't know what the third brother thinks?"
"This matter is not a trivial matter, the second brother has really thought it through."
"Becoming a king and defeating a king, only fighting for the present dynasty, this king would like to think that the third brother is also a person with courage, and he doesn't want to be a person who has a lot of effort on his lips."
"This king is not."
Nangong Shuang's heart was shocked when he heard this, he was naturally an ambitious person, but if he didn't put it into action just in his thoughts, it would be unequal and useless, and the obscurity in his heart would naturally be bad when he was said.
Nangong Lichuan took in Nangong Shuang's expression reaction, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked to reveal a triumphant smile.
"What can I do for you?"
"As long as the third brother helps me deal with those who try to enter the palace and hinder my big things."
"You're talking about the fifth brother. There is also the prince's fellow party. ”
"Exactly."
"But I don't have a lot of guards, so help."
"This king will give you the secret guards, this is the token you can command them."
Nangong Li Chuan took out a black lion head bronze medal and handed it to Nangong Shuang, and the two parted ways after coming out of the palace gate side by side.
No one overhears the conversation between the two, so the Shadow has to tell them that they have been in close proximity.
After returning home, Nangong Shuang returned to the house, thinking about things, and came to Luo Qingge's small courtyard, and when he got inside, he realized where he was, and was thinking about leaving, but was bumped into by Du Sanniang, who had just come out.
"Lord Wang, you're here, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea."
Raising his eyes is Du Shi's enthusiastic smiling face, just as the so-called raising his hand does not hit the smiling person, Nangong Shuang did not refuse to come to the house, and Luo Qingge in the room heard the movement outside.
"The prince is here."
Luo Qingge wanted to get up, but his stomach was big, and his movements were not good, and Nangong Shuang arrived in front of him in a moment. Helping Luo Qingge to sit down again, Du Sanniang closed the door and guarded the outside very interestingly.
"How did the prince get to Go'er today?"
"This king thought of his concubine, so he came."
Even Nangong Shuang felt that he was inappropriate when he spoke, and he felt that he was a cold-blooded person when he heard this, but who Luo Qingge was, she naturally knew Nangong Shuang's person in her heart, and said very knowingly.
"The prince is in charge of everything, there are so many things to be busy with, and I am already satisfied to see the prince as a concubine."
"It's still the concubine who is sensible."
"The prince frowned, but if you have something on your mind, it is better to tell the concubine to share your worries."
"It's okay, the kid is fine."
Nangong Shuang didn't want to say that she turned her attention to the fetus in Luo Qingge's womb, and touched it with her hand.
"It's been stable, it's been three months."
"Well, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
"Does the prince want a girl or a boy."
"This king wants a girl, so beautiful as a concubine."
On the other side, the maid saw that the prince went to Luo Qingge's side and immediately went back to Mama Jiang, Mama Jiang didn't expect that Nangong Shuang would come after her front foot left, so she didn't delay and returned to Zhao Yun'er.
Zhao Yun'er was only slightly surprised, but thinking of her Luo Qingge's current situation, she couldn't do anything, her father had been so close to the prince recently, and she Luo Qingge Hao had no support and was not enough to worry about.
"Isn't the princess worried about the revival of the princess's old love?"
"The prince has a great cause in his heart, how can he be sad for a woman, you can watch it."
"Well, the princess is open-minded."
Luo Wushuang and Nangong Xingchen had already walked half the way, and they came to a hut to rest for a while.
"Anyone?"
Luo Wushuang opened his mouth to ask, no one responded halfway, and when he saw that the door was hidden, he pushed it open, and now it was the summer sun, the green trees were luxuriant, and there was a peach tree in the small courtyard that was ripe.
Luo Wushuang picked a few peaches, came to the well, fetched water, washed them, and handed one to him in front of Nangong Xingchen.
"It's delicious, it's sweet."
As soon as I took a bite, the sweet juice instantly filled my mouth, so sweet and fragrant, I was tired all the way, my mouth was dry and I was comforted.
Nangong Xingchen was eating while seeing that Luo Wushuang was so satisfied, his face softened a little, and he looked at her with a smile.
"Xingchen, did you say that it would be Nangong Lichuan who rebelled to intercept us."
"Well, he's the biggest suspect."
"Well, are you in such a hurry that you are worried about the queen mother?"
"Well, I'm afraid she's going to do something to her."
"Well, let's go back sooner." After the two of them finished eating the dry food, they prepared to leave, got on their horses and ran straight away.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Qi Guifei looked at the anger in the secret confidence in her hand, it was really useless, she couldn't even kill so many people, her eyes couldn't help but sharpen and look at the kneeling person, who only felt a burning gaze shoot at her, but she didn't dare to make any moves.
"Waste."
Xu was not relieved, Qi Guifei scolded again, and began to command in a moment.
"Let them withdraw and guard the gates in disguise, and let no suspicious people be spared."
"Yes." The people on the ground were given the order to leave quickly.
Qi Guifei's eyes were gloomy, the paper in her hand was crumpled into a ball, and she wanted to see how Nangong Xingchen could fight against her, as well as the crown prince. Turn around and head towards the Emperor's bedchamber.
The crown prince sat at the head of the emperor's bed, and the emperor was still asleep at the moment, so he had to wait for the emperor to wake up.
"Concubine Qi."
Nangong Yueli got up and gave up her position to Concubine Qi, and the two of them were caught in a staggered manner.
"The prince is here so early."
"Hmm."
Qi Guifei sat on the edge of the bed and touched the emperor's hand, and then stroked her forehead, as if she was sorting out the emperor's hair.
The emperor on the bed woke up slowly, opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Qi who was sitting beside him, and then saw the crown prince Nangong Yueli, and asked in a deep voice in a trance.
"What's going on?"
"The emperor is awake, you have slept all night and a half, it's time for lunch."
"Oh, this sleep has been so long."
"It's not that you're too busy on weekdays to sleep for that long."
"Hmm."
Nangong Yueli helped the emperor get up and came to the table, and the palace maid on the side hurriedly served soup and meals. Qi Guifei sat on the side, and saw that the emperor didn't have the strength to serve the soup bowl, so she immediately helped to serve it and began to feed the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the concubine feeds you."
Forced Nangong Yueli to the side, and the emperor drank a few spoonfuls of soup before setting his eyes on the crown prince.
"Has the prince ever had lunch?"
"Father, emperor and son, don't worry."
The damn old man didn't ask her if she had drunk it, but Qi Guifei scolded in her heart, but she fed the soup quietly with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, eat some food."
The emperor couldn't eat it after a few bites, and waved his hand to ask people to come and order the food to be withdrawn.
"Your Majesty, there is still this medicine."
"I don't want to drink, so stand down."
"Your Majesty." Qi Guifei's face was obviously anxious, and there was a slight uneasiness in her eyes. These were all in Nangong Yueli's eyes, and he blocked the medicine spoon that Qi Guifei picked up and snatched the medicine bowl.
"My father didn't want to drink it, why should Concubine Qi be so anxious."
"The emperor is temperamental, should the prince be so outrageous."
"Father's body will be seen by the imperial doctor, and it is indeed not suitable for my father to drink medicine immediately after eating, so Concubine Qi still doesn't have to worry too much."
Nangong Yueli deliberately bit the word worry very hard, and looked at the expression of Qi Guifei directly, he felt that this Qi Guifei was extremely strange today, as if all this was inextricably linked to her.
Qi Guifei was shocked, her face changed greatly, and her face began to panic and become uneasy, revealing a weak look, and she pulled her clothes to divert her attention.
"If Concubine Qi has nothing to do, let's leave first, I and the prince still have something to say."
"Yes." Qi Guifei reluctantly left.
Retreat from the palace guards, the father and son said something, and after a long time, Nangong Yueli left the room, and as soon as the prince left, the emperor called Gonggong Chen and gave a few orders.
Immediately Gonggong Chen began to implement the emperor's will, and Concubine Qi, who had just arrived at the palace to rest, soon received the news of eyeliner, what did this prince say to the emperor? Unexpectedly, the imperial doctor who saw the doctor and the people who served in the imperial dining room were all withdrawn, and all of them were replaced by the people arranged by the prince's side.
Could it be that the crown prince noticed it, or did the emperor know something, Qi Guifei was faintly uneasy.
