Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, as well as the sound of conversation, Nangong Yueli and Nangong Xingchen realized something, it was the civil and military officials coming, and the voices of those ministers were still very clear.

Looking at the triumphant smile on Nangong Lichuan's face that was particularly dazzling, Nangong Yueli frowned, and she noticed something in her heart, and she was faintly uneasy.

The ministers had already arrived in the hall, and the originally large dormitory began to be a little crowded, and it was full of people.

"I don't know what the prince has to tell us when he asks us to come over?"

Prince! When did he arrange for someone to come, no, it should be Nangong Lichuan's hands and feet. Nangong Yueli glanced at Nangong Lichuan It was really him, and looked at his good look.

"This palace didn't call you here, someone falsely spread the words of this palace." Nangong Yueli said coldly.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

One of the ministers asked, Nangong Xingchen remembered this person, he was Li Wei, the second prince and the party, and it was Nangong Lichuan who hugged his son's life when he made a statement, so he was naturally loyal to him, Nangong Lichuan was really prepared, and he was afraid that this scene was planned by him.

"These days, the prince has been taking care of the emperor's diet and medicinal food, and now that the emperor is poisoned, what is the prince's intention?" Nangong Shuang said it again, and finally convicted him directly.

The ministers were shocked by Nangong Shuang's words, they never thought that the prince would harm the emperor, they didn't expect to come because of this matter, they thought that the prince called them over because there was something important to discuss.

"Prince, how can you harm the emperor? It's not that someone framed him. Among them, there are also ministers who are more clear and said.

"Now the prince alone controls who can harm the emperor, and you are not excusing the prince by saying this."

"You," the minister was blocked and had nothing to say, so he had to look at Nangong Shuang angrily.

Nangong Yueli watched Nangong Shuang and Nangong Lichuan sing and harmonize, sneered in her heart, and said to the minister in an instant: "I, Nangong Yueli, have always loved my father and the king, and I have never murdered the emperor, but now something happened under my control, so I am naturally responsible, and now I will hand over the protection of the emperor to the fifth brother, and the prince is willing to be grounded until the murderer is found." ”

Nangong Lichuan's heart jumped, he knew that the prince would not give up, and even said before him that he would transfer the right to protection, and now he is willing to be punished to promote Nangong Xingchen's protection of the emperor, and he can really bend and stretch, hum, but even if he can be trapped in this way, it will not spoil his big thing.

"Prince!"

Nangong Xingchen saw that the prince was so compromised, and he also handed over this heavy responsibility to himself, he felt a little incredible, and he didn't want him to be willing to do this.

"Fifth brother, I believe you will protect your father." Nangong Yueli had this smile on her face, which made Nangong Xingchen inexplicably a little sad, and just wanted to say something more, Nangong Yueli suddenly gave Nangong Xingchen a hug.

After that, Nangong Xingchen seemed to accept it, and said slowly: "In the future, I will be fully responsible for the protection of my father, and I will also find out the real murderer." ”

Nangong Lichuan on the side watched the interaction between the two people, and then the change, he faintly noticed something, and a look signaled to Nangong Shuang, Nangong Shuang immediately understood.

"I have an opinion, you and the prince have a close relationship, maybe the two of you are partnering to plot against your father, and besides, you will definitely protect the prince."

When the words fell, the two princes and the party began to be lively, and they discussed at each other, it was nothing more than inappropriate, what Nangong Shuang said made sense, and they also opposed it.

Ning Chen said loudly: "Weichen opposes the protection of the emperor by the five princes, and it should be protected by the third princes. ”

Nangong Shuang heard that someone recommended him to be happy, as long as he could move to Nangong Xingchen and them, he was also very good and could take on such a heavy task, and couldn't help but stand up straight with a look of confidence that could bear the heavy responsibility.

"This prince thinks the third brother is suitable."

"How can this be done, the prince is only a suspect now, and you have no evidence, why can't the fifth prince protect the emperor."

"That's the case, let's vote." Nangong Yueli said coldly, her face was solemn and majestic.

The ministers were at a stalemate for a while, this was indeed a solution, and then looked at Nangong Yueli and Nangong Lichuan.

"Those who support the prince are on the right, and those who support Nangong Lichuan are on the left." Nangong Xingchen said at the right time.

"Well, that's a good idea."

Soon the two teams were separated, and it seemed that there was not much difference in numbers, so two people went to each team to start counting the numbers, and after a while both of them returned.

"Right 15."

"Left 15."

This... All of a sudden, the people on both sides fell into a discussion again, each holding their own opinions. At this moment, the old woman's voice came from outside the door, although it was not loud, but it was full of momentum.

"The mourning family is also coming."

"Imperial Grandma, you're here." Nangong Yueli smiled at the Empress Dowager.

"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother."

Nangong Xingchen and Nangong Lichuan have already said respectfully with Nangong Shuang.

Nangong Li Chuan's eyes crossed a trace of unclear emotion, but he didn't expect that the prince also asked the queen mother to be the backing, and he still couldn't underestimate the prince.

He suddenly felt uneasy, he had arranged this matter so seamlessly today, but Nangong Yueli was able to invite the Queen Mother in an unpredictable way, unless he knew his plan, he was shocked in his heart, but he was suppressed, how could he know!

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

The ministers bowed down one after another to the Queen Mother.

"Get up."

"Imperial grandmother, the second and third brothers suspect that their grandson is plotting to kill their father, and they are preparing to elect the next candidate to protect their father. The prince said slowly.

"Grandma Huang, this right side is for the fifth brother, and the left side is for the third brother." Nangong Xingchen explained the representatives of the two teams on one side.

"Oh, yes, I know the personality and ability of the fifth brother, so the mourning family will vote for the fifth brother."

"Okay, Grandma Xie Huang trusts."

The queen mother's words are obvious, whoever dares to resist and say no, it is premeditated, and she is afraid that she will fall into the target of the public.

Nangong Shuang was still silent in the words of the Queen Mother, she knew the fifth brother's human nature and ability, but what about her own, does the Queen Mother mean that she doesn't know her own ability and character?

Such a comparison and dislike in the court, and even mentioning himself without mentioning himself, this kind of treatment made Nangong Shuang extremely resentful in his heart, not resentful, and tightened the clenched fist hidden in his sleeve. One day he wants to show everyone else how good he is.

Nangong Li Chuan saw all this, and had some calculations in his heart, and he was no longer entangled in who was responsible for the emperor's protection, and said.

"The imperial grandmother said so, so the fifth brother will take on this heavy responsibility."

"Well, this king will naturally take on the heavy responsibility, and will never let those who have a heart take advantage of it."

Nangong Lichuan was stunned, he naturally knew what Nangong Xingchen meant, and now that he and the prince had torn their faces, they were naturally not so polite, and they were afraid that it would be more difficult to start again.

"Well, the fifth brother is tired."

"Hmm."

"If the ministers are okay, they will retreat, and it will be too noisy to affect the emperor's rest all the time in the emperor's dormitory." The Queen Mother opened her mouth and gave an order to expel the guests.

"Yes, Weichen retired."

This group of old ministers came fiercely, and they were quite dramatic when they went, so that the people behind them were now afraid that they couldn't bear to be anxious.

The prince was banned but the prince volunteered to come and it wouldn't be fake, but such a good time came so soon, everything seemed to be very smooth, but it was very rare, Nangong Lichuan always felt that something was quietly coming, and it changed silently.

"The ministers also retired first."

Nangong Shuang saw Nangong Lichuan leaving, and then immediately retreated and caught up with Nangong Lichuan.

"Second brother, how can you make any arrangements? This prince actually agreed to be grounded, so do we have a chance! ”

"Well, don't rush first, let's go back and talk about it, this matter is a little strange."

"Strange, no, this is a rare opportunity, the second brother doesn't have to miss it."

"The time has not yet come."

"Haven't you arrived yet? , but now that there is no one in the palace to resist, this is clearly a good time. ”

Nangong Lichuan saw Nangong Shuang's simple idea and was not ready to analyze and accept it for him, so he walked out without saying a word.

"What's the matter, Emperor? Okay? The Queen Mother sat aside and began to ask aloud, her tone was extremely worried, one bad thing was that the white-haired people sent the black-haired people.

"Grandma Huihuang, my father was murdered by someone and was poisoned by chronic poison, and now this is an attack."

"Who is so bold as to dare to do this."

Nangong Xingchen and Nangong Yueli glanced at each other, and they already had eyebrows in their hearts, but the Queen Mother...

Today's events are so obvious that you can guess a few points without saying it, the queen mother thought of something, her face was a little ugly, she knew that it was inseparable from the third prince and the second prince.

"These two people are so bold that they even dare to poison their own father." The Queen Mother said angrily, her face full of anger.

"Rest assured, the retainers will try to find evidence to get them punished." Nangong Xingchen said reassuringly, looking at the queen mother's face firm.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

"The mourning family is also tired, Xingchen, you take good care of this palace, the mourning family will leave first."

"Grandma Huang, go slowly." After the two watched the queen mother leave, Nangong Xingchen said to the prince: "Where should I start?" You are not afraid to take this risky plan. ”

"Xingchen don't panic, I have a plan for everything, if you don't do it, how can Nangong Lichuan expose his ambitions so quickly and tear his face with us so quickly, besides, I already have witnesses, you just need to find and imprison him."

"You've got a witness!"

Nangong Xingchen looked at the crown prince Nangong Yue, he knew all this and knew it well, it seemed that his worries were superfluous.

"So you already knew Nangong Lichuan's plan, so that's why you cooperated with acting."

"That's right."

Nangong Xingchen was silent, but Nangong Yueli at this moment seemed a little far away, and he couldn't imagine that his mind was so profound.

"Xingchen, you only have to go to my palace to find a palace maid named Tsing Yi, and then she will take you to find that person, and then the person behind it will appear."
