Now that the war is over, Mu Xuanche was tortured in prison for seven days and died, Nangong Jinchen and Mu Ranyue set off back to Hengyang.

Five days later, they arrived at the official road outside Hengyang City, and they could enter the city for another ten miles.

The mountain road was on demand, and Mu Ranyue sat in the carriage and pillowed Nangong Jinchen's legs and was drowsy, Nangong Jinchen took a fan and fanned the wind for her with her own hands, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Suddenly, there was a frightened cry for help outside.

"Help, help......"

Mu Ranyue was suddenly frightened and sat up, what was going on?

"Is there someone calling for help outside?"

Nangong Jinchen nodded, but he didn't want to care about these idle things.

The voice was getting closer, and it sounded like a young woman.

She was shocked in her heart and hurriedly said, "Stop first." ”

"Dyeing ......" Nangong Jinchen glanced at her disapprovingly.

Mu Ranyue said: "I want to see what is going on." ”

The carriage slowly stopped, and she lifted the curtain, revealing that the woman calling for help had arrived in front of their carriage.

The woman's hair was messy, her face was full of sweat and stains, but she could vaguely see that her appearance was not bad, she saw Mu Ranyue who opened the curtain, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Someone is chasing me behind, please help me, please save me, save me." ”

After getting married, except in the palace, Mu Ranyue didn't like to comb her hair into a woman's hairstyle, so she didn't look like she was married.

"Stop!" The voices of several men were faintly heard behind them, sounding very vicious.

The woman looked back in a panic and kowtowed to the ground, "Please, girl." ”

Mu Ranyue looked at her pitiful appearance, and heard a voice not far away, she couldn't help but feel compassion, nodded slightly, and said, "Girl, come up." ”

"Thank you, girl, thank you."

The woman kowtowed twice more on the ground and hurriedly got into the carriage.

"Dye?"

Nangong Jinchen frowned and pulled her hand, Mu Ranyue looked back and smiled: "It's okay, this girl doesn't seem to want to be a bad person, besides, there are indeed people chasing her behind, and she pulls out a knife to help when she sees injustice." ”

As she was talking, the woman had already come up, and when she saw Nangong Jinchen still sitting here, she was stunned, and then her pupils suddenly dilated: "Your Majesty? ”

Nangong Jinchen looked at her and was also slightly surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

She was the nightbell.

The woman's eyes welled up with joy, and she knelt down and said, "See Your Majesty." ”

Mu Ranyue looked at them in surprise, "You know each other?" ”

Only then did Yeling Yin notice Mu Ranyue, and said, "See the queen mother." The people don't know the mother, and they hope that the mother will forgive their sins. Folk girl nightbell sound. ”

Nightbell tones? Who is this? How had she never heard of it?

She looked at Nangong Jinchen suspiciously.

Nangong Jinchen explained: "She is my cousin. ”

Cousin? That is the person from Nangong Jinchen's mother's family. At this time, she suddenly remembered that Nangong Jinchen had never seen his mother's family in front of her, and there was no one from his mother's family in the court. So much so that she thought her mother was an orphan girl for a while, so she didn't talk to him in front of him.

Why do you suddenly have a cousin now? is still so embarrassed, it stands to reason that the emperor's relatives should not be doing well?

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside, and it seemed that those who were chasing her came up, and Yelingyin's body shook subconsciously.

After a few moments, the outside gradually returned to quiet.

"Who are they?"

Nangong Jinchen asked.

Yelingyin's eyes were red, and he said, "They are the people of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"When did you provoke them?"

"Back to Your Majesty, at that time, Your Majesty bought a manor for me and my mother on the shore of Jade Lake, and found slaves to serve us, and we lived well there, but ...... But a few days ago, the son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites suddenly arrived here and said that he would tear it down and build a garden for him. Naturally, my mother and I disagreed, so they brought people to forcibly demolish them, and even killed the slaves in the house, and my mother was also ......."

Yezun wiped away her tears and was sad.

Nangong Jinchen frowned slightly, "Why don't you let people come to me?" And the family members I sent to you are also martial arts, how can they be so useless? ”

Yelingyin sniffled and said, "Those people were also beaten back that day, but a few days later, he brought many masters over, where can the family members resist?" And at that time, His Majesty was not in the palace, and there was really no one to find Lingyin. ”

"I remember that I gave you a token."

Nightbell's tears fell again: "Token...... I took the token out, but ...... But he didn't admit it at all, and he even ...... He even said that it was fake and dropped it directly. ”

Mu Ranyue was stunned, but the son of a mere squire dared to drop the emperor's token, which is really not small.

She tilted her head slightly, Nangong Jinchen's face changed slightly, and she still seemed to be a little angry.

And just listening to their words, Nangong Jinchen is still very good to this cousin.

She smiled, "You get up and sit down first." ”

Yelingyin slowly stopped her tears: "Yes, thank you Niangniang." ”

"Then why are they chasing you after you when they occupy the garden?"

Yeling Yin said: "When he saw that I was a little beautiful, he forced me to be his concubine, but I didn't want to, so I secretly ran out while they were unprepared." ”

Mu Ranyue nodded, and said, "Your house is occupied, so where else can you go now?" ”

Yelingyin smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Except for her mother, the folk girl has no relatives." But now my mother is ...... The world is so big, the people don't know where they can go. ”

Mu Ranyue paused, wondering in her heart, what kind of family is Nangong Jinchen's mother's family.

However, looking at this woman is really pitiful, it seems that Nangong Jinchen may also have some affection for her, because he said: "In this case, you can go back to the palace with us." ”

Yeling Yin looked at her in surprise, "Niangniang, this ...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Mu Ranyue smiled, "What's not so good?" You are Your Majesty's cousin, and it makes sense to live in the palace. ”

She looked at Nangong Jinchen again: "Your Majesty, you said yes, right?" ”

Nangong Jinchen said lightly: "The queen is in charge." ”

Yelingyin was both frightened and surprised, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Niangniang." ”

Back in the palace, Nangong Jinze and Jin Zhuang knelt down in front of the Wude Gate with hundreds of officials: "Ministers greet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Nangong Jinchen raised his hand slightly and said, "Flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jin Zhuang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's personal expedition to Chu this time and won a complete victory, which is the joy of Your Majesty, and it is also the joy of my Yun Kingdom." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Yunguo."

Nangong Jinchen said lightly: "It's just five cities, what is there to congratulate." ”

Nangong Jinze said: "The emperor's words are wrong, the five cities can be regarded as the results of the emperor's battle this time, so naturally he should be congratulated." The younger brother has ordered someone to set up a banquet in the Yunhua Hall to celebrate the emperor's victory. ”

Nangong Jinchen bowed slightly: "The Nine Emperor Brothers have a heart." ”

Back in Huayang Palace, all the palace people in the palace knelt at the gate of the palace: "Slaves/slaves greet Your Majesty, welcome the queen." ”

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, mother."

Seeing this scene, Yeling Yin behind him was slightly panicked, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Li Deyu glanced at her with some curiosity, this girl was not dressed like a maid next to her mother, and she was still a little embarrassed, but she also looked like a beautiful character.

Could it be that His Majesty is a hero on the road to save beauty? Your Majesty didn't look bad when you saw her again, so you just brought it back? He thought to himself.

Mu Ranyue pointed to Yelingyin and introduced: "This is His Majesty's cousin Yelingyin girl, she was rescued by us when she encountered some trouble on the road, so she was brought to the palace." ”

Your Majesty's cousin? Li Deyu and Zhang Xing glanced at each other, wasn't the Ming'an Houfu long gone? When did Your Majesty come to such a cousin again?

Mu Ranyue instructed again: "Zhang Xing, you take the night girl to the Chunxi Hall next to the Huayang Palace, settle it well, and then point a few palace people to serve it well, don't be lazy." ”

Yeling Yin Fu said: "Lao Niangniang is bothered. ”

Mu Ranyue smiled: "Why is the night girl so polite, you are Your Majesty's cousin, and this palace will naturally not treat you badly." Zhang Xing, don't go yet. ”

"Yes, the minions obey." Zhang Xing said busily.

Then he said to the night bell: "The night girl, please come with the slave." ”

"There is Lao Zhang's father-in-law."

Zhang Xing hurriedly said: "The night girl has tormented the slave." ”

After Zhang Xing led the night bell to leave, Mu Ranyue and Nangong Jinchen also entered the hall.

"You have a cousin, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Mu Ranyue looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

"Because I don't think it's necessary." Nangong Jinchen said quietly: "If I hadn't met her today, I would never have seen a night family member again in this life." ”

Mu Ranyue said curiously: "Then who is your mother's family?" ”

He shook his head: "I don't have a mother's family. ”

"No mother's house?" She wondered, "And where did this cousin come from?" ”

Nangong Jinchen sighed lightly: "My mother's house was originally the Ming'an Hou Mansion, but unfortunately they are sorry for their mother's concubine, and after I returned to China, I even wanted to climb up to me, I couldn't get used to it, but because they were my mother's family, they never had a seizure." It's a pity that because I am not attracted by them, they actually hold a grudge and want to cooperate with Nangong Jinheng to frame me. ”

"After Yelingyin knew about this, he secretly handed me the news, I was grateful to my heart, and at the Lantern Festival banquet, I rebelled against Nangong Jinheng's army, and what the Ming'an Hou Mansion did was also revealed, and the whole clan of the Ming'an Hou Mansion was exiled, but I was the only one who left Yelingyin and his mother to live peacefully in Beijing."

Mu Ranyue suddenly realized that there were still these origins between them.

But she added: "Why does Nightbell Tone tell you this, isn't it because she likes you?" ”

Nangong Jinchen smiled helplessly, "What do you want?" She told me that she just didn't want to be at the mercy of her family, and she didn't want her mother to suffer, and that she hoped I could save her and her mother. ”

Mu Ran Yuehu said suspiciously: "At that time, you were not the emperor, and she trusted you so much?" ”
