Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Divine Decree
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Ling." In King Ling's mansion, Du Zhong respectfully clasped his fists at Nangong Jinchen and saluted.
When Nangong Jinchen saw Du Zhong's arrival, his expression changed slightly, and he walked down and said, "Commander Du doesn't have to be polite, I don't know why Commander Du came?" ”
Du Zhong looked at Nangong Jinchen, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Today's ministers are here to thank His Highness." Thank you for your highness's life-saving grace, so that Du will no longer suffer from the poison. ”
It turned out that it was for this matter, Nangong Jinchen helped him slightly and motioned him to get up.
Then he chuckled and said unabashedly: "Commander Du doesn't have to be like this, and it wasn't out of kindness to save you." ”
Du Zhong was a little dumbfounded, he was a rough man, he didn't like those twists and turns, but he didn't expect Nangong Jinchen to say it so bluntly, which couldn't help but make him look at him a few times, this His Royal Highness King Ling can be regarded as a frank person.
"But for whatever reason, kindness is kindness. It's just that day, it was also because of the poor protection of Concubine Jing that Concubine Jing was harmed...... "For Concubine Jing's death, Du Zhong has always felt ashamed in his heart.
Nangong Jinchen's heart ached slightly, and he shook his head and blamed himself: "I don't blame you, it's this king, too conceited." ”
"Your Royal Highness......" Du Zhong didn't know what to say for a while, he regretted mentioning Nangong Jinchen's sadness a little, but the words had come out and could not be recovered.
After a while, Nangong Jinchen spoke: "Commander Du is here today, but there are other things?" ”
Du Zhong then got down to business: "Now that Your Majesty knows that I am Your Highness's person, I am afraid that Your Majesty will ......"
Nangong Jinchenyun said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as Commander Du is not caught by him, he will not treat you well, the person you have to be careful about now should be the prince." ”
Having said that, how can you be born as a human being? As for the prince, he is gentle on the surface, but he is indeed a person who hides a knife in his smile on the inside.
Du Zhong still had a lot of hidden worries in his heart, and then asked puzzledly: "Now that Your Highness has full wings, why don't you replace Your Highness?" ”
Du Zhong, who has always been loyal, was able to say such a thing, which made Nangong Jinchen a little stunned for a while.
He looked at Du Zhong and said tentatively: "As a palace guard, does Commander Du want this king to rebel?" ”
Du Zhong evoked a sneer, hatred flashed in his eyes, and he said bluntly: "Today's son is ruthless and suspicious, and he loses the virtue of a king." ”
"Then do you think this king has the virtue of a king?"
Du Zhong looked at the person in front of him, his temperament was Xuanyu, although he was dressed in white, he had an otherworldly atmosphere, but he was also domineering, which made people want to surrender unconsciously.
This man seems to have been born to be a king.
Without hesitation, he said, "Yes." ”
Nangong Jinchen was a little surprised, he didn't expect Du Zhong to be so crisp, but he was quite surprised, "How can you see it?" ”
Du Zhong smiled: "According to my intuition. ”
Today is also the first real contact between him and Nangong Jinchen, and he doesn't actually know much about this person, but he just thinks in his heart that he can take on the responsibility of a king.
"Commander Du really likes to joke." Nangong Jinchen's tone was still cold.
"No, I'm not kidding." Du Zhong shook his head, a serious expression.
Seeing his sincere appearance, Nangong Jinchen wanted to laugh a little in his heart, but he also trusted Du Zhong a little more.
He said: "In this case, the king also tells you clearly that this king does want the throne, but it must be justified." ”
Nangong Jinchen was able to say it so bluntly, and Du Zhong was not shocked, but said: "Then what does His Highness need Du Zhong to do?" Eucommia must be on the move. ”
"This king doesn't need you to do anything now, you just need to protect yourself now. If there is a palace change in the future, Commander Du needs to help. Nangong Jinchen said lightly.
"Okay." Du Zhong nodded firmly.
He had already decided, and now Nangong Jinchen was the one he wanted to be loyal to.
Murong Villa.
Mu Ranyue doesn't know how to get it these days, she is so energetic that she seems to have nowhere to vent, and she has to take Xia Bangyin out to play every day, but she doesn't feel tired, but others are tired.
No, Mu Ranyue came to find Xia Bangyin again.
"I said I won't go out today, I'm really tired these days." Xia Bangyin complained.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you see how boring you are in the house, why don't you go out with me, you can also eat delicious food, oh, by the way, we can go to the barbecue today, I haven't gone out to barbecue yet." Mu Ranyue said with great interest.
"What? Grill and barbecue? Xia Wangyin's voice suddenly raised heightened.
"Yes, sister-in-law, don't you like it?"
Xia Bangyin said very directly: "I only like to eat, I don't want to bake it myself." ”
Mu Ranyue was stunned for a moment, and then teased: "I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be lazy too." I watched my sister-in-law make pastries for my cousin before, but I was diligent and careful. ”
"That's different." Xia Wanyin said a little uncomfortably.
Mu Ranyue's heart ached, but she smiled on her face: "I know I know, it's full of sister-in-law's love for my cousin." ”
"Yue'er!" Xia Wangyin is thin-skinned, how can he hear others say this.
Mu Ranyue saw that she was a little displeased, but she still smiled coquettishly, "If my sister-in-law doesn't want to listen to me, then go out with me." I was really bored staying in the village. ”
"Isn't there still your girl?" Xia Bangyin glanced at her.
"Yunshang is very boring." Mu Ran Yue said that the girl was loyal, but she was too polite, and she always couldn't let go in front of her.
Xia Bangyin saw her skinny, and her heart softened and she almost agreed.
At this moment, a maid hurriedly came in and reported: "Young lady, eldest princess, there is a holy decree in the palace, saying that it is for the eldest princess." ”
Both of them were shocked and looked at each other, how could the emperor suddenly make a holy decree?
Xia Bangyin hurriedly said: "Then you go quickly, don't let people wait." ”
Murong Villa is a sect of rivers and lakes, and Murong He is an arrogant person, so he will not take the whole village out to kneel to greet him in such a thing as receiving a holy decree.
It's not very conventional, but no one will dare to say anything.
Mu Ranyue tidied up her clothes and got up with a cloud full of doubts.
The eunuch from the palace had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Mu Ranyue, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Your Majesty has a decree, please accept the decree." ”
Mu Ranyue knelt on her knees.
The eunuch unfolded the holy decree in his hand, "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The eldest princess Changning, gentle and humble, graceful and graceful, unparalleled in talent and appearance, and a virtuous and chaste ......"
She knelt on the ground and listened quietly, not understanding what Mu Xuanche was going to do for a while.
Until he said aloud in a sharp voice: "The eldest princess and the pro-Yun Kingdom, complete the marriage with the King of Yun Guoling, rebuild the good relations between the two countries, and protect my great Chu peace, Qin this." ”
Mu Ranyue's expression was suddenly sluggish, and her whole brain was confused. The royal brother actually asked her to go and kiss?
"Your Highness, take the order." The eunuch finished reading the decree and handed it to her.
Mu Ranyue sat on the ground as if she hadn't heard it, her eyes were even more hollow.
Seeing this, the eunuch reminded again.
Mu Ranyue suddenly seemed to be crazy, and knocked out the holy decree in his hand, "No, I don't want to kiss, I don't want to!" ”
The eunuch was taken aback by her appearance, and picked up the holy decree unhappily: "Your Highness, this is a holy decree, how can you ......?"
Yun Sheng also looked anxious, and persuaded: "Your Highness, you calm down first." ”
"No, I don't want to, I don't want to ......"
Yunshang looked at her, not knowing what to do, and the father-in-law was also standing there at a loss.
Seeing this, Yunshang first comforted him: "Father-in-law, you give me the holy decree, go back to the palace first, your highness just hasn't reacted for a while, not to mention that Your Highness has just lost her husband, and her consciousness is also a little trance." ”
When the eunuch saw this, he had no other choice but to respond. However, he will definitely go back and inform His Majesty of the matter.
After the person left, Yun Sheng stepped forward to comfort Mu Ranyue, who seemed to be stunned: "Your Highness, now that Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, if you really don't want to marry, you can go back to the palace and explain to Your Majesty, Your Majesty may agree." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Ranyue saw hope, yes, she wants to go back to the palace, she wants to go back to the palace to find the royal brother to make it clear, she doesn't want to go to get married, don't lose her life's events.
Thinking like this, Mu Ranyue suddenly got up and rushed out.
"Your Highness!" Yun Sheng shouted hurriedly in the back.
It's just that before she left the courtyard, Murong He suddenly came.
"Uncle." Mu Ranyue stopped, her face was very bad.
"You want to go back to the palace?" Murong He asked.
"Yes."
"The emperor wants you to be friendly?"
Mu Ranyue looked at him in surprise, "How does Uncle know?" ”
Murong He didn't answer her, but said, "You don't want to go?" ”
Mu Ranyue lowered her eyes and whispered, "Yes." ”
"Why?"
Mu Ranyue's expression was solemn: "Because I don't want to marry someone I haven't even met." ”
"No, not for that reason." Murong He retorted directly and looked at her fixedly, "It's because you can't let go of him in your heart, right?" ”
"What did my uncle say, I would have let him go a long time ago." Mu Ranyue said with a serious face.
"Oh, really?" Murong He raised his eyebrows, "Then why have you been frequently pulling people out to play lately, I haven't seen you have such a big playfulness and such good energy before." ”
"I ......" Mu Ranyue opened her mouth, but there was no way to refute it.
Yes, she just wants to distract herself, only when she is busy, she will not think about him, and her heart will not hurt.
It's just that no matter what she does, the person in her heart will always be in her heart, and it can't be easily erased.
"Yue'er, you are still young, you will always marry again." Murong He sighed, "Now that the emperor has ordered you to marry far away, it is not necessarily a bad thing for you." Moreover, I heard that this Yunguo Ling Wang Feng is handsome and intelligent, and he is a wishful man. ”
Mu Ranyue was indifferent: "No matter how good it is, it's just a matter of hearing about it." Moreover, my marriage is never compromised. ”
Murong He was slightly stunned, and said helplessly: "That's it, you have been stubborn since you were a child, and I don't bother to stop you, you can go." ”
Mu Ranyue said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle." ”
