Chapter Eighty-Seven: Like a Demon
In the East Palace, Nangong Jinheng was furious thinking about what was happening in the court today.
Nangong Jinchen, he deceived Yue'er so badly, and now he still has the face to fight with himself!
At this time, Liuyun hurried in.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have something important to report."
"Say." Nangong Jinheng coldly spat out a word.
"The subordinates sent people to investigate the attack on Murong Villa before, and now there is finally a result. According to investigation, the assassin turned out to be two waves of people, one was from the former prince's faction, and the other wave was actually from the Endless Palace. ”
Hearing this, Nangong Jinheng's pupils suddenly dilated, and he was stunned: "Endless Palace? Can you be sure? ”
"The subordinates are confirmed. It's just that this Boundless Palace has always been in the business of killing people, and his subordinates have not found out who placed this order. Liuyun was also very annoyed in his heart, he had only found such a little news after investigating one thing for so long.
It's just that it's not easy for them to find out that it's the Endless Palace.
Nangong Jinheng quickly thought about everything about the Boundless Palace in his mind.
By the way, he remembered that when Yue'er first returned to the palace, she met the killer of the Boundless Palace, but that time Mu Ruiyuan quickly found the Boundless Palace and dug out the mastermind behind it.
At first, he also felt that there was something wrong with that matter, with the strength of the Boundless Palace, how could it be so easy for people to find out. But it was always good to be able to find out, so he didn't think much about it.
Now that I think about it, how could Nangong Jinchen appear there so coincidentally that day and save Yue'er when she was desperate? That's a lot of suspicion.
"Liuyun, how much do you know about the palace master of this Endless Palace?" Nangong Jinheng asked.
Liuyun replied: "This palace master has never appeared in front of people, and his personality and appearance are unknown, and he is extremely mysterious, as if he does not exist. However, there are all kinds of rumors about him in the rivers and lakes, but they are only rumors, so his subordinates have only heard some rumors. ”
Nangong Jinheng lowered his eyes and pondered, no one has ever seen his true face? What is this Wuji? How can you create such a powerful organization from one hand?
"Your Highness, do you want to continue to investigate?" Liuyun asked.
Nangong Jinheng raised his eyes and said coldly: "Check, of course you have to check." Also, let the streamer find out if there is another hidden reason for Yue'er's assassination outside Nanling City, and why Nangong Jinchen appeared there. Lone hopes to know the outcome soon. ”
Hasn't it been a year since that incident? Liuyun was puzzled, but he still said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Now, Nangong Jinheng seriously suspects that these things are inseparable from Nangong Jinchen.
And he always felt that the palace master of the Infinite Palace, who seemed to not exist, might be Nangong Jinchen himself, and that assassination was a conspiracy for him to get close to Yue'er.
Qingyang Palace, Qing Guifei sat on the top, although she is over forty years old, there are also fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but she still has charm and dignified posture.
And sitting at the bottom left of her was Nangong Jinzhan, and there were only two of them in the hall at this time.
"When I saw Nangong Jinchen today, what do you think of this person?"
Nangong Jinzhan changed his unruly image on weekdays, sat upright, and replied lightly: "Like a demon." ”
Concubine Qing was stunned, a little unsure of what he meant.
Nangong Jinzhan took a sip of tea and said, "When I saw him from afar, I thought he was a spotless immortal, but after close contact, I realized that this person was more like a demon." ”
"How so?"
Nangong Jinzhan sneered: "Don't say anything else, just say that he dares not to kneel down and worship in front of the ministers, the mother concubine thinks, who in the world has the guts?" ”
Concubine Qing was suddenly shocked in her heart, and said in astonishment: "Are these six princes really so bold? ”
"That's right, but although my father is angry, he doesn't punish him, let him do this, if there is no reason for it, the son will never believe it."
Qing Guifei was even more surprised, "Could it be that he caught something deadly for Your Majesty?" ”
Nangong Jinzhan shook his head: "This retainer doesn't know." It's just that in his eyes, Erchen saw a strong hatred for his father and the emperor, as well as for the crown prince. ”
"Then who do you think is more powerful, the prince or him?"
"This ......" Nangong Jinzhan thought for a moment, "Erchen bets that Nangong Jinchen will get rid of the prince in the future." ”
"Are you so sure?"
Nangong Jinzhan said firmly: "Yes, although the prince is very talented and the city is very deep, but I am afraid that he is slightly inferior to Nangong Jinchen, not to mention that Nangong Jinchen also holds his father in his hands." ”
Qing Guifei frowned worriedly, if this Nangong Jinchen is really so powerful, wouldn't it be even more difficult to get the throne?
Nangong Jinzhan smiled disdainfully and said: "Mother concubine don't worry, today's court, everyone sees that Nangong Jinchen and the prince are incompatible, let's watch them fight first, and let's be a good fisherman." ”
Qing Guifei nodded, "That's right, but if it's really about Shangnangong Jinchen, how sure are you?" ”
Nangong Jinzhan shook his head: "He just returned to China, and Erchen doesn't know what his power is." However, he can be so arrogant in the court, and he should not be weak. ”
"In this case, he should be a strong opponent, and you should check his details carefully." Qing Guifei admonished.
Nangong Jinzhan nodded and said, "Don't worry, concubine, your son knows." ”
Three days later.
Mu Xuanche had already received the letter of state sent by Yun Guo.
Yun Guo even named Changning and his relatives, and said that if this matter could be done, they promised that Yun and Chu would not invade each other within ten years.
But although Changning is the eldest princess, the world knows that she has married, and Yunguo doesn't dislike it?
Mu Xuanche couldn't guess their thoughts for a while, could it be because of Changning's beauty?
Look at the person who married again, it is the sixth prince of Yunguo, it is said that this person only returned to the palace not long ago, and has just been crowned King Ling.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed through Mu Xuanche's mind, but it was fleeting, so fast that he couldn't grasp it.
He shook his head, no longer dwelling on the questions.
If he can use a princess's harmony in exchange for the stability of the country, Mu Xuanche is also very willing.
And he also felt that this matter was not a bad thing for Mu Ranyue, if he didn't go to get married, her fate would be just an ordinary official son, where would the princess come to be beautiful?
But thinking of Mu Ranyue, Mu Xuanche naturally thought of her husband Ye Zichen in her heart, even if Ye Zichen had been dead for so many days, he still couldn't solve the hatred in his heart.
A trace of fierceness flashed in Mu Xuan's eyes, since Yun Guo took the initiative to ask the princess to be a friend, then he would treat him in the way of others.
"Come on, pass the queen over." Mu Xuanche commanded.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Susu walked in with her stomach in her hands, and at this time her belly was already pregnant.
Mu Xuanche saw her, and a soft color flashed in his eyes.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty."
"Come and sit down, you're pregnant, you don't have to be so polite." Mu Xuanche said.
Han Susu walked to Mu Xuanche's side and sat down, "I don't know why Your Majesty called the concubine to come?" ”
Mu Xuan saw that Han Susu had always been so respectful and polite, and he didn't talk much, although they were husband and wife, their hearts seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. At this moment, he still misses the cheerful and lively Duanmin County Lord.
At that time, although she didn't like herself, she also regarded herself as an older brother, where could she be so alienated?
Mu Xuanche looked at her for a while, and said, "I called you here today because I have something to explain to you." Yunguo asked me to send Changning and my relatives, and I agreed. So, you ......"
Han Susu was instantly stunned and directly interrupted him, "Your Majesty, are you going to send Changning to make peace?"
Mu Xuanche nodded, "Does the queen think there is a problem?" ”
Han Susu was a little incredulous: "Why? She has been married, and she is already unclean, where can she go to kiss again? ”
Mu Xuanche also wondered: "I don't know what the special intentions of the Yun Kingdom are, but in this battle of Yun Chu, the Chu State is a defeated country after all. Now, for the sake of the Chu State, I have to go to the Xinyun State to seek peace. Emperor Yun agreed, but the condition was that he wanted Changning to make peace, and even promised that if this peace could be achieved, the Yun Kingdom would not invade each other within ten years. ”
Han Susu wanted to persuade him, but after listening to him, he knew that Mu Ranyue was destined to go out and kiss this time, even if Mu Xuanche didn't do it, the ministers in the court would force him to do it, with a woman, to ensure the stability of the country, why not?
However, Han Susu still frowned: "Changning is His Majesty's sister and a friend of the concubine. Now she may not have come out of the pain, if she is allowed to go to kiss at this time, the concubine feels that it is not a good thing for her. ”
"How do you know it's not a good thing for her?" Mu Xuanche retorted, "It is precisely because she is my sister that her first marriage is now unfortunate, and I feel sorry for her in my heart." But with her remarrying body, I can only point out to her an ordinary prince and grandson in the future, and now she is married to a princess, isn't this a good destination? ”
At the end, Mu Xuanche said again: "The person who married Changning this time is the sixth prince of Yun Kingdom who has just been named King Ling. I had heard that this person had been brilliant since childhood, and her mother was known as the first beauty in the cloud country. Come to think of it, this King Ling is also talented and beautiful, and it may not be a blessing for Changning to marry her. ”
Han Susu said in her heart, Mu Ranyue is not such a person who covets glory, all she wants is to be able to stay with her beloved for a lifetime.
But she didn't say it. Now, without the first emperor who spoiled her like a treasure, who could allow her to choose a husband freely, thinking about it this way, in fact, Mu Xuanche thought about it well.
"Then Your Majesty wants the concubines to take care of Changning and relatives?" Han Susu asked.
Mu Xuanche smiled, "Su Su is really smart, you guessed it before I even said it." However, I am afraid that Changning will resist in her heart, and when she comes back, you must persuade her well. ”
Han Susu was bitter in her heart, and she was even more worried about Mu Ranyue, but she still agreed. As Mu Xuanche said, being close to her may not be a good thing.
She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubines will definitely persuade each other." ”
Mu Xuanche nodded.
