Chapter 120: Emperor Jing'an's Thoughts
After having lunch with Nangong Qi, Nangong Yu entered the palace, for his seventh brother, most of them are responsive, not to mention that this decision is harmless to him, he naturally wants to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, when Nangong Yu mentioned Nangong Qi's stay in the Haowang Mansion to Emperor Jing'an, Emperor Jing'an was shocked with a hint of suspicion.
"Let Qi'er live in the Haowang Mansion?" Emperor Jing'an frowned, looked meaningfully at Nangong Yu, who was standing respectfully in the hall, and asked to confirm whether his ears were normal.
Nangong Yu nodded yes.
"Whose idea?" Emperor Jing An looked at him, his pupils were a little deep, and he asked in a cold voice.
"It's Erchen." Nangong Yu took the matter on himself.
"Is that you?" Emperor Jing'an's pupils dilated, and he was puzzled.
Even Wang Zhan, who was standing on the side and bowing his head and was silent, raised his eyes to look at Nangong Yu in shock.
Aren't these three highnesses confused? Which one is this singing?
Nangong Yu looked up at Emperor Jing'an, respectfully and politely, "Father, please listen to the son's explanation." ”
Emperor Jing'an looked at him meaningfully, frowned and said in a deep voice: "I really want to hear why Yu'er wants Qi'er to live in the Haowang Mansion." ”
Wang Zhan also looked at him intently, feeling strange in his heart.
It stands to reason that according to the thoughtful nature of the third prince, how could he want His Royal Highness Seven to live in the Haowang Mansion?
Wang Zhan shook his head in confusion.
"Before the son-in-law speaks, please ask the father to forgive the son-in-law for speaking out." Nangong Yu bowed his head and said.
Emperor Jing'an and Wang Zhan glanced at each other, their pupils were deep, and they looked at him meaningfully, unable to figure out what calculation he was making in his heart, and said slightly: "You and say it bluntly, I forgive you for your innocence." ”
"Thank you, Father." Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, settled down, bowed his head and said: "Father, the fifth and sixth brothers have just returned to Beijing, and it is inevitable that there will be some small moves in private, and my father can't help but guard against it." ”
"Did Yu'er find something?" Emperor Jing'an was stunned for a moment and looked at him meaningfully.
Wang Zhan stared at Nangong Yu strangely with surprised eyes.
What's wrong with the Third Highness, Your Highness? You must know that if this kind of thing is not said well, it is suspected of sowing discord.
Nangong Yu naturally knew very well in his heart, in order to avoid misunderstanding him to provoke the father-son relationship between Nangong Hao and Emperor Jing'an, he hurriedly protected himself: "Erchen is dedicated to the sake of his father, and reminding his father to guard against the fifth brother is just in case, Erchen has no other intentions, please ask my father to know clearly." ”
Emperor Jing'an's pupils were a little deep, and he looked at Nangong Yu intently, as if he wanted to see through his whole person, and asked seemingly casually: "Yu'er installed her own people in the Haowang Mansion?" ”
Nangong Yu shook his head, pretending to be filial, "Father, not long after the Haowang Mansion was first built, the fifth brother changed all the people in the mansion, and now the Haowang Mansion is like an iron wall, and the sons wanted to monitor the fifth brother for their father, but the sons couldn't install their own people at all, and they were worried that the fifth brother would be unfavorable to their father, so they had to show their mentality to their father, and had no other intentions." ”
"And then?" Emperor Jing'an frowned.
"Erchen thought, it is better to come to the right name, let the seventh brother live in the Haowang Mansion, first, the seventh brother can help his father monitor the Haowang Mansion, and second, the father can also test whether the seventh brother is of the same mind as his father. Why not have the best of both worlds? Nangong Yu said slowly.
Emperor Jing'an's face was a little pale, and he hated being thought out by others the most in his life.
"Father?" But seeing that Emperor Jing'an was silent, Nangong Yu was stunned.
Emperor Jing'an's pupils were deep, he looked at him meaningfully, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered: "He is really my good son, and he is really thoughtful." ”
"Father?" Nangong Yu was puzzled for a while.
"It's just, how do you know that I can't rest assured that I can't be the fifth?" Emperor Jing'an asked seemingly not lightly, but the weight of this sentence was very important.
Nangong Yu's pupils dilated, he was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, a trace of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, "Father, the son has no other intentions, he only thinks about his father, the son is just afraid that you demoted the fifth brother to Guliang City back then, and the fifth brother will hold a grudge." The sons never had the slightest intention of provoking the relationship between their father and the fifth brother. ”
Emperor Jing'an quietly looked at Nangong Yu, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling with fright, with a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, and said without being salty or light: "I know that you are dedicated to me, and I will allow it." ”
Nangong Yu was stunned for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a subtle sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Jianfeng is right, wealth and danger are sought!
The father really guarded against Nangong Hao in his heart, if Nangong Hao also had the idea of seizing the heir, this king must have thought of strangling his thoughts in the cradle.
"Did Qi'er ever know about this?" Emperor Jing An asked meaningfully.
Nangong Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "I don't know now, my father can rest assured, and the son wants to persuade the seventh brother to let him live in the Haowang Mansion." ”
"What to say and what not to say, do you understand?"
"Erchen understands."
"If you shouldn't say it, rot it in my stomach." Emperor Jing'an reminded coldly.
"Yes." Nangong Yu bowed his head and said.
"Stand down." Emperor Jing'an said coldly.
"The retainers retired." After Nangong Yu saluted, he respectfully withdrew from the dormitory.
Wang Zhan stared at Nangong Yu's back as he walked away, stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Emperor Jing'an, whose face was pale, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid these three highnesses are confused, right?" ”
"Hmph, he's not confused!" Emperor Jing'an snorted coldly, "Do you really think he is for me?" He is just for himself, he can't rest assured that he can't afford to leave the fifth child and send the seventh child to keep an eye on it! ”
"This ......," Wang Zhan grinned.
But these three highnesses let the seven highnesses stare at it, isn't it confused?
"The ambition of the third child is obvious, he thinks that I value him, and the ambition of this wolf who takes the heir is not shy about it!" Emperor Jing'an sneered.
Wang Zhan grinned dryly and did not answer.
"I hate to be thought out of! I gave him face, but he didn't know how many pounds and taels he had! Emperor Jing'an's pupils were deep, and his face was a little pale.
"The Fifth Highness suddenly returned to Beijing, and the Third Highness is probably also anxious." Wang Zhan said.
"The fifth child should really be guarded against, the third child has a saying that is right, let the seventh live in the past, it is indeed the best of both worlds." Emperor Jing'an said thoughtfully.
Wang Zhan was stunned for a moment, and there was some emotion in his heart.
Your Majesty, the old slave has been with you for most of your life, when will you be able to let go of your suspicions?
You can't trust the prince, so you deliberately elevate the Third Highness to resist and suppress the prince. Now that the power of the Third Highness is getting bigger and stronger, you have recalled the Fifth Highness to balance the power of the crown prince and the third highness.
But you can't trust the Fifth Highness, let alone the Seventh.
Your Majesty, which of your sons can you trust?
The old slaves can't see through you a little, let alone others?
"Lao Wang, you spread the news and let everyone know that it was the third child who let the seventh live in the Haowang Mansion." Emperor Jing'an said meaningfully.
Wang Zhan came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly, "The old slave understands. ”
"I just want them to fight, so that I can control the overall situation safely!" A sneer hooked the corner of Emperor Jing'an's mouth.
