Nangong Nianxi smiled and faced Ming Hao and said, "Xuan! You're right, just now I was too self-righteous, don't be angry, not in the future. ”

Ming Haoxuan was happy in his heart, stretched out his hand and took her hand and said, "I was worried about you just now, don't take it to heart if you say something serious!" We'll do it together. ”

Nangong Nianxi nodded silently, looked at Shui Linglong standing beside him and said, "Linglong!" I don't know what the result will be today, but you will be fine, if my father doesn't let me go back, then please take care of the prince's injury. ”

"Xi'er! What to say? Why can't you go back, my father and emperor let us think about it behind closed doors at most, starling, then we are thinking of a way, don't worry! You'll be fine! ”

After speaking, he pulled Nangong Nianxi and followed him into the study. After entering the door, I saw Ming Haoduan, Ming Haolan and Sima Qingqing kneeling on the ground, and Sima Nan was sitting on the seat next to him, his face looking particularly worried.

Ming Haotian raised his eyes and saw the three of them coming in, and said with a dark face: "Someone!" Give the water princess a seat! ”

Shui Linglong sat down worriedly, and Ming Haoxuan took Nangong Nianxi to kneel behind Ming Haolan and Sima Qingqing.

Ming Haotian looked at his two sons' faces were blue and swollen, and asked, "Who will tell me!" What kind of trouble is this today? Sima Qingqing, aren't you dead? How did you come back alive, what happened to you one by one? ”

Ming Hao covered half of his face and said, "Father! I'll tell you, there were assassins at the post station yesterday, stabbing the envoys, and this morning I ordered the city gate to be closed and not allowed to enter or leave, but the eighth brother and the ninth brother went out of the city early in the morning, and the sons knew that the eighth brother was going to travel far away, and wanted to give them a ride, but who knew that they had deceived the king and secretly hid the show girl Sima Qingqing. ”

"And how did you get this injury?" Ming Haotian asked, pointing to his face.

"This is the ninth brother's urgency, everyone knows that the ninth brother's husband and wife have a great relationship with Sima Qingqing, I proposed to escort him back to the palace, the ninth brother made an irrational move when he was in a hurry, the father doesn't have to care too much, I understand the ninth brother's feelings."

Ming Haolan listened and said, "Father! It's Erchen's fault, Erchen loves Sima Qingqing, but she wants to marry into the palace, Erchen can't bear it, so he wants to make a decision, and he wants to take her out of the capital, it's all my idea and has nothing to do with others! ”

"It's not about anyone else! Lan'er, you said that inside and outside here, as well as this Sima Qingqing's funeral, were you all arranged? With a snap, he slammed the teacup on the ground.

"Do you think of me as a three-year-old? Let's talk about it! What are your roles here? ”

"If the emperor wants to punish the crime, just punish me for the crime alone! They were all persecuted by me, and I ...... It's me who is afraid to enter the palace, everyone says that the women in the harem are like tigers, I'm afraid, my grandfather has protected me very well since I was a child, and since I met the eighth prince, I know what love at first sight is, I hurt the prince, hurt everyone, so let me bear the blame! ”

"Women are like tigers, you are really good at analogy, the biggest responsibility for this matter lies with you, it is you who seduced my Lan'er, he is so obedient and sensible, it must be you who instigated him to take you to elope and commit this great crime of disloyalty and unfilial piety."

"It's me! I know it's wrong, so I bear all the offenses of the emperor. Sima Qingqing knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Ming Haoxuan continued: "Father! Starling has been alone with his children all these years, and he finally found a person who is in love, and besides, Sister Qingqing is also an innocent person, and she is really not suitable for living in the harem. Fulfill them. ”

"Perfect! Xuan'er, you said, whose idea is this, I plan to hit me, where do you let me put my face, the show girl cheated to death, I have heard for the first time, which woman is not rushing to enter the palace, you are too disappointed to me. ”

Nangong Nianxi finally couldn't help but speak: "Father is angry, it's not Sister Qingqing's fault in this matter, it's me!" It's me who has been egging my sister to find a good home, and I'm worried that she will be bullied if she can't stand steadily in the harem, so I gave them this idea, Father! You treat your sister as if she is no longer in the world, they are willing to remain incognito, and they will not affect the emperor, and besides, there are countless beauties in your harem, and you don't care about your sister alone! ”

Ming Haotian raised his eyes to look at her, and said angrily: "I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, and sure enough, this matter was planned by you, and you actually ran away with my son and the woman to run away, what should you be guilty of?" ”

"Father! This matter was thought up by Erchen and Xi'er together, if you want to punish me, punish me! Ming Haoxuan hurriedly said.

"It's not about them, it's what I did, Qingqing is my favorite, I never regret making a private agreement with him for life, I identify her, I beg my father to let go of the ninth brother!"

"Good, good! A good brotherhood, rest assured that none of you can escape, the culprits of this matter are still the two of you, I don't know the etiquette, righteousness and shame, sit down such a shameful thing, someone will throw them into prison for another day and retrial. ”

Nangong Nianxi heard this and said hurriedly: "Father! No, Sister Qingqing is weak, you can't do this to her. After speaking, he pulled Sima Qingqing and didn't let go.

"Are they all deaf? Take them to me? ”

The guards dragged the two away, Nangong Nianxi was sad and sad, Ming Haotian opened his mouth and asked: "You have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter, Xuan'er has thought about it behind closed doors, you are not allowed to go out for this month, and you can repent at home!" As for the past! You will learn the rules of the palace with the etiquette grandmother in the palace, and I will let you go home at that time. ”

Nangong Nianxi listened, and said in his heart: "This emperor is really good at planning, taking this opportunity to leave me in the palace, let his son and the princess cultivate a relationship, and really do everything, this is his own use value, otherwise he just use this opportunity to find a solid backing for his son in addition to himself." "But it's okay to take advantage of these few days to find a chance to save my sister. Nangong Nianxi did not open his mouth to refute.

"No! We are husband and wife, you leave her in the palace, how can I go home with peace of mind. ”

"Xuan! Don't worry! I'll take good care of myself, you're injured now and need to go back to recuperate! ”

"Xi'er! I won't leave you! ”

"Lord Wang! Don't be laughed at, when are you so cowardly, you go back and recuperate, I will go back in a few days! ”

"Xuan'er! This time it's Nian Xi's idea, I didn't put her in prison just for your sake, don't think how merciful I am, Lan'er and the two of them committed a big crime of disobedience, I want to think about how to deal with them, your husband and wife gave you a warning, are you still not satisfied? Nian Xi is too bold, stay in the palace and discipline your father and the emperor for you! ”

"Father's ......"

"Xuan! So be it! You and Linglong go back, I will learn etiquette well, and I will definitely strive to go back as soon as possible! ”

Seeing her insistence like this, Ming Hao Xuan had no choice but to compromise and say to Ming Haotian: "I respect your father, it is our fault to stay in the palace today, three days!" If I don't see her come back in the palace for three days, don't blame me for not thinking of you, my father! ”

After speaking, he turned around domineeringly and walked out of the imperial study, and Shui Linglong followed out.

Nangong Nianxi looked at the old general Sima Nan and said, "Uncle Sima! I'm sorry not to go, I'm sorry to disappoint you. ”

Sima Nan closed his eyes, his eyes were not as bright as before, as if he was ten years old in an instant, he looked at Nangong Nianxi and said, "Nianxi!" Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, it's not your fault, you don't apologize, it's also my poor consideration. ”

After speaking, he slowly got up and stood up, Nangong Nianxi took a step forward to help him up, only to see him slowly kneeling on the ground and said, "The emperor's old minister is guilty!" connived at the children to mess around without stopping it, and also participated in it, now that the matter has failed, the old minister is willing to sacrifice the military power on behalf of Sima Zhongming, and then take him to return to his hometown, not to ask about the government, please ask the emperor for permission! ”

"Uncle Sima! You don't have to be like this, you get up first, I have something to say! ”

Sima Nan was stunned for a moment, looked at Nangong Nianxi and said, "Nianxi, what can you do, don't you do anything stupid?" When the uncle is old, it is the best choice to take them back to the countryside. ”

"Father! I think you left me in the palace for Xuan's consideration, so I want to have a good talk with my father, so please ask Uncle Sima to go back to the house first? ”

Ming Haotian looked at Nangong Nianxi, originally the drunkard didn't mean to drink, and after thinking about it, he said: "Sima Nan! That's the end of your proposal just now, I don't plan to take back the military power, it's a trust in your Sima family, the incident happened suddenly, let me think about how to deal with them, you go home first! ”

"Your Majesty! The old minister retired first! After saying that, he stood up and staggered out of the imperial study! While walking, he also looked at Nangong Nianxi.

Nangong Nianxi looked at him and gave him a firm look, and Sima Nan disappeared in front of Nangong Nianxi.

At this time, there were only Ming Haotian, Gao Gonggong and Ming Haoduan left in the imperial study! Nangong Nianxi looked at Duan Wang Ye and said, "Is this the ending you want to see?" Tell you, even if I leave the Nine Kings Mansion, I will not set foot in your Duanwang Mansion. If Father wants to discuss something with me, then let Duan Wang Ye leave! ”

"Remembering the past! Why are you so stubborn, will you die if you compromise? As long as you give up your current identity, I can help you intercede! ”

"Excuse me! Father, is he leaving? If he doesn't leave, then I have nothing to say, find me a ceremonial grandma! ”

Ming Haotian didn't want to lose the chips for a showdown with her, so he said, "Duan'er! You go out first, I have something to talk about? ”

Ming Haoduan didn't want to go out and had no choice, so he reluctantly left the imperial study.

"Remembering the past! There is no one else now, you are a smart person, I know you have your own ideas, let's talk about it, maybe Lan'er and Sima Qingqing will have a glimmer of life. ”

"Father! I know you love Xuan! Pave the way for him, but don't you think I can be his help, too? ”

"I have always believed in you and have not changed, but one more person has more strength, thinking that your brain is not flexible enough, and the water princess will not compete with you for the position of concubine, why do you have to insist on going your own way and pulling Xuan'er's hind legs? I always thought that you were a smart and sensible person, but now that your thoughts remain the same, my Xuan'er can't follow the path I set for him, so if you want to save Sima Qingqing, then you have to pay your due! ”

Nangong Nianxi closed his eyes sadly after hearing this, the royal family has always been ruthless, and now it is spread on himself, he is still sad for a while, Nangong Nianxi thought: "How should I deal with it?" ”
