Chapter 42: Is That My Husband?
After the jailer left, Yu Qiqi fainted, the memory in her mind slowly faded, and she closed her eyes in the light of the torch that was clearly extinguished.
After the funeral of the Empress Dowager, Nangong Yan entered the palace and begged again and again, but Emperor Yan Jing still did not let go, and angrily reprimanded him several times, saying that he did not read the Empress Dowager's good.
Nangong Yan had nothing to do, so he had to ask Chu Peiyu how things were going on over there Shen Feihong, almost half a month had passed, and no one had been seen.
Chu Peiyu's eyebrows were also filled with anxiety, and he only told him that after Shen Feihong left Yanjing City, there was no news. It stands to reason that it takes more than five days to go back and forth to Xichu. Even if you can't find out the news, you can come back first, so as not to cut off the news.
"Xichu is the realm of Yi Concubine, it's broken!" Suddenly, Nangong Yan's eyebrows tightened, and he told him, "If you take someone to Xichu, you must be hidden!" ”
Chu Peiyu raised his eyebrows, comprehended the meaning of his words, and hurriedly retreated.
After the night fell, Chu Peiyu changed into a night coat and quietly walked out of the East Palace alone.
As soon as Chu Peiyu walked on the front foot, Yan Shiqing entered Nangong Yan's Chenghe Hall with the back foot, "What are you going to do about the seventh sister?" He took the cloth off his face.
Nangong Yan, who had a vigilant face on his face, slowly turned around, "How do I deal with it, I shouldn't have to report it to you, right?" There was a threat in his gaze.
"This matter is a grudge between you and your concubine, the seventh sister was pulled into the water by you for no reason, aren't you in a hurry at all?!"
Yan Shiqing came here to find him to vent his anger. Originally, Yu Qiqi had a good life in Nanzhao, but after marrying him, he made these devastated things.
Nangong Yan smiled, walked up to him step by step, and scolded angrily: "The reason why she is like this is not because of you. ”
Yan Shiqing stepped back, his bright eyes dimmed, but the tone of his words did not let go, "But this matter has always been caused by you." ”
"Why don't you want to think about it, why did she save you because she has no relationship with you and no reason?" Nangong Yan's face showed a bit of banter, and his words couldn't hide the sarcasm.
He twisted his eyebrows, "I will figure out these things, the seventh sister is in the prison, if something happens to her when I come back, I will not let you go!" ”
Nangong Yan snorted coldly, "It's really a big breath." ”
Before leaving, Yan Shiqing's eyes had a hint of fierceness. He didn't go back to Proton Mansion, and went back to Nanzhao directly. Since he said this, he wanted Nangong Yan to know his whereabouts.
Otherwise, there will be other troubles at that time.
Concubine Yi didn't let go, Yan Churan didn't reply to the letter, he could only go back to Nanzhao. Qing Yu rode his horse outside the East Palace, and the master and servant turned over their horses and headed towards Nanzhao.
When Shen Feihong woke up, it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything. His body was tied up in a ball, and the man was lying on the ground.
He sneered, "I've already sent the news back to Yanjing City, do you think it's okay to lock me up here?" It's just hilarious! ”
In the dark room, there was still silence, and no one responded to him. The light is dim, and it is difficult for him to determine where he is, and he can only rely on words to stimulate him, so as to find the other party's response.
"If you don't believe it, you can see if the scandal of the concubine in the palace will spread in Yanjing City in a few days." Shen Feihong continued to stimulate.
Sure enough, within a single stick of incense, there was a sharp scolding voice outside, "You dare to threaten us when we are all dying?!" I don't think you want to live anymore! ”
Shen Feihong sneered, "If you want to kill me, you can kill me on the day you arrest me, why wait until today?" ”
The stone door closed in front of him, there was a sound of movement, the stone door was slowly pushed open, and a woman with a small figure and light steps walked in from the outside, the bright light from the outside pierced Shen Feihong's eyes, and the woman in front of her was veiled again, and Shen Feihong couldn't see her true face clearly.
"Uncle Guo really sees it through, but you can't scare me. Nangong Yan is afraid of startling the snake, you are Xichu who came alone, and the news you know cannot be transmitted back to Yanjing City, but will only be hidden in your heart forever. Her voice was hoarse, and there was a hint of cruelty.
"Oh? How do you know I'm not prepared for both? "Shen Feihong has been working for Xuanyu Guifei for so many years, and he is good at dealing with people.
She sneered twice, but there was no trace of anxiety in her eyes, "You still want to threaten me?" Although Uncle Guo has the ability to do it, in the end, he did not end up with a broken family and being imprisoned. ”
"My nephew's strategy is better than mine, he has already made a foolproof plan, before I came to Yanjing, he has already made a plan for me, thinking of annexing Yanjing, you wait for the next life." Shen Feihong is not in a hurry, in short, no one can save him now, he can delay it for a while, only by letting the other party know that he still has the value of existence, his chances of survival will be greater.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see, what kind of plan did he set for Uncle Guo?" The woman's eyes were still calm as usual, and there was no anxiety in her words.
After a while, the stone door of the dark room slowly closed again, and after this toss, Shen Feihong found nothing except that he knew that a woman who was about forty years old had caught him.
On the contrary, it also made him waste a lot of verbal disputes.
"I won't even give a sip of water."
In the dark light, he grumbled.
"Lord of the curtain, there is news from Concubine Yi Niangniang, saying that the princess of Nanzhao is in prison, and this time, she will definitely not be able to get out alive."
In front of Mingji, there was a servant girl who told her the news from the concubine.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, let her keep an eye on it, and don't make a mistake." Yu Qiqi is the only daughter of the Yishui King, Emperor Yan Jing asked Nangong Yan to marry her, just to make friends between the two countries and balance the power of Western Chu, now even if Yu Qiqi kills the Empress Dowager of Yanjing, Emperor Yan Jing will not let her die in prison easily, at most he wants to give Nangong Yan a little color to see, and by the way, spoil the concubine.
"Yes."
The handmaid withdrew.
The next day, Lu Yin arrived in the Nangong Yan Palace, when he was just about to leave the palace gate when he happened to run into her.
"Your Highness is going out again?"
She hasn't seen him for a long time, after Yu Qiqi entered the palace, she often couldn't see him, the Empress Dowager died, he was busy with half a funeral, and he frequently entered the palace these days to intercede for Yu Qiqi.
"Something?"
Nangong Yan didn't make it clear to her, but she couldn't forgive her, so she could only hang it like this first.
She lowered her head and whispered slightly, "I, I haven't seen His Highness for a long time, I want His Highness to think about it tightly..."
On the calm surface of Nangong Yan's lake, there was a wave of water gently rippling. In the past, when he was busy dealing with the affairs of the inner court, or when he went to other places to handle court affairs, as soon as he came back, Lu Yin would say such things to him.
At that time, he felt that although his mother was gone, there was still someone waiting for him to come back, so there was a touch of warmth in his heart.
That's about the time he's been in love with Green Moan.
"I'll come back to you." He reached out, patted her soft arm, and walked past her.
"Then Your Highness will come back soon."
Finally, a smile appeared on her face.
Nangong Yan went to Liu Monian's mansion, but Chu Peiyu was not there, so he had to go there in person.
"Your Highness." Seeing him, Liu Monian's eyes straightened, and he hurriedly bent over to salute.
"Get up."
He didn't come here to see him perform these false rituals.
Nangong Yan said in a low voice: "There is something that you need to do." "Shen Feihong didn't come back, and Chu Peiyu wouldn't have any news back for a while, so he could only make dangerous moves.
Liu Mo Nian immediately lowered his body, "Your Highness, please speak." ”
"Today, you go to the palace and tell your father..."Nangong Yan asked him to lean over, lowered his voice and said a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Liu Monian's face immediately changed, "This matter is related to the emperor's reputation, if it spreads, where can the emperor's face go?" ”
Nangong Yan straightened up, his robe reflected a hint of light, "I know, my father is the most jealous of his face, so you have to do this quietly, just point a little bit to him, let him know that there is such a thing, as long as he is suspicious, he will definitely check it himself, and you don't need to investigate." ”
The horrified look on Liu Monian's face did not completely fade, "But Song Gaoyun is the celebrity around him, and he is the most trusted." And the old minister is the secretary of the criminal department, since he has seen the clues, the emperor will definitely be able to guess it, and the old minister has also guessed it, and he is only afraid when the time comes..."
Nangong Yan knew his worries, and his eyes turned cold a little, "Isn't this life just for His Highness?" ”
"What His Highness said is that the old minister will definitely do what His Highness explains." As soon as he said this, a layer of cold sweat oozed from Liu Monian's back and stained his underwear.
Now, Nangong Yan's eyes are not so terrifying.
As soon as he left, Liu Mo called his attendants, "Go and prepare a sedan chair." ”
"Yes."
The squire retreated.
When he arrived at the palace, it was noon, and Emperor Yan Jing was playing chess with Song Gaoeun in the pavilion, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liu is here."
A little eunuch stepped forward and bent down to greet him.
He raised his head and saw Liu Mo Nian standing not far away, holding his hands, his face didn't look very good, he smiled, "Let him come over." ”
"Yes."
The little eunuch ran to pass the word.
"Your Majesty."
Liu Mo Nian walked over and shouted in front of him.
"It's just right, Liu Aiqing came to play a few games of chess with me." Then, he pointed to Song Gao, who stood up, "This old thing always deliberately loses to me." ”
Song Gao's eunuch laughed dryly, "The emperor's chess skills, it's the old slave's chess skills that are not proficient, how can it be said that he deliberately lost to you." ”
Emperor Yan Jing pretended to be unhappy on his face, but he still laughed twice.
Liu Monian stood on the side, "Then the old minister will be ugly." Then he paused, and said very embarrassed: "However, the old minister generally does not like to stand on the side when playing chess, if the old minister learns the chess skills, it will not be good." ”
Emperor Yan Jing suddenly became interested, "Oh? It seems that Liu Aiqing is going to show her hand. ”
Song Gaoyan also laughed, and after laughing, he retreated with interest.
Seeing that he retreated, Liu Mo Nian was not in a hurry, and only played chess with Emperor Yan Jing, and after a few games, Emperor Yan Jing didn't see that he had any exquisite chess skills.
He said sharply: "Didn't Liu Aiqing fool me? ”
Liu Mo Nian immediately got up and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here today, it is a hidden thing, and I want to be like the emperor." ”
Emperor Yan Jing remembered, when he came over just now, his face was not very good, "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Monian's expression was complicated, as if he didn't know where to start for a while, and after a while, he said: "The case of the Nanzhao cook who framed the crown princess, the old minister investigated afterwards, and he did not commit suicide by throwing himself into the well. ”
"What do you mean by this?" Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Yan Jing heard him say this, his words were full of deterrence, and they were like two people just now.
Liu Mo Nian knelt on the ground according to Nangong Yan's teaching, "Since it wasn't suicide, doesn't the emperor suspect Chief Song?" He is the closest person to the emperor, if he has a different heart, then the emperor is in danger, and the old minister is for the emperor's safety! ”
Emperor Yan Jing slapped the chessboard hard, and the chess pieces on it fell to the ground and scattered all over the ground, "Presumptuous!" Who gave you the guts to question me?! ”
"The old minister is just telling the truth! Moreover, Manager Song and the crown princess have no grievances, why do they want to harm the crown princess, I hope the emperor will find out! ”
He took out the professionalism that he should have as a secretary of the criminal department, and begged Emperor Yan Jing that he had the responsibility of his position, which made him feel much more credible.
After saying this, the anger on Yan Jingdi's face was indeed a little less than that of Fang Cai, and he finally understood why Liu Monian took Song Gao's eunuch away.
He retracted his sharp gaze and muttered for a while, "Then listen to the meaning of your words, Song Gaoyun is doing things for others?" ”
Finally, Liu Monian was able to come up with the set of theories that Shen Feihong analyzed for him at the beginning, "Chief Manager Song has served as the chief supervisor of ceremonies for many years, and he has never exceeded the emperor's intentions, and he has always done his duty, but doing these things for others does not make him go more smoothly in the palace, and he will only be suspected of secretly Chen Cang, since it is not for power, it is for the side." ”
He clicked here, and stopped abruptly.
Emperor Yan Jing's face, which had just improved, suddenly became ugly again, "He is a eunuch, not for power, can he still do it for beauty?" ”
"The secret of the eunuch and the palace maid eating together, I think the emperor has also heard a little about it." In order to help him confirm his thoughts, Liu Mo Nian had no choice but to be ruthless and say such disobedient words.
Emperor Yan Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and doubts arose in his heart, Liu Mo Nian has always been conscientious in his duties, known for his integrity in handling cases, and never favors anyone.
Listening to him say this today, it really seems that I am worried about his safety, not for the sake of giving birth to a side incident. Song Gaoyun is a celebrity around him, that's right, he has worked for him for many years, and he has never been suspicious of him.
Now that he has been pulled out of this incident by Liu at the end of his life, he really has to think about it.
"Alright, you can go down." After a moment, he spoke.
"Yes."
Seeing that he had become suspicious of Song Gao, Liu didn't say a word more at the end of the year, and retreated very interestingly.
"For beauty?"
Who is better in the harem, Emperor Yan Jing already has the answer in his heart, and his hand on the chessboard clenched in an instant.
After Song Gao's eunuch came, he regained his expression and let him help him back to the dormitory. After he rested, Song Gaoguan retreated.
Emperor Yan Jing called the attendants on the side and asked him to follow Song Gao.
After about two hours, the attendant came back in a panic, knelt before him, and hesitated for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"I'm here, what's the panic?!" Emperor Yan Jing angrily reprimanded him.
"Mr. Song took care of him, he entered the Liangxi Palace and didn't come out for a long time." Only then did the attendant say this with trepidation.
Emperor Yan Jing gritted his teeth, his face was gloomy, and the next moment, he opened his mouth and ordered the attendants kneeling on the ground, "Send someone to the heavenly prison and release the crown princess." ”
"Yes!"
The attendant hurriedly retreated.
Since she colluded with Song Gaoyan, there was no need for him to continue to spoil her.
As soon as Nangong Yan returned to the East Palace, he saw Lu Yin waiting for him outside the palace gate, "Didn't you say that I would come back and look for you?" ”
The sun was scorching, shining on the corners of her forehead, shining on her forehead, and under the fine and dense eyelashes, there were a pair of sparkling eyes, she pursed her lips slightly, "It's okay, the concubine is fine anyway, and besides, I can see His Highness earlier." ”
"Let's go inside." Nangong Yan grabbed her arm and brought her in.
"When will the crown princess be released?" On the way back to Changhuan Palace, she asked him cautiously, her fingers curling slightly into a ball.
"I don't know yet."
He replied to her lightly, not revealing much.
Green Yin's eyes froze, and he didn't dare to ask again, only quietly asked him to send him back.
As soon as she returned to the hall, two crystal clear tears fell from her eyes, and after the injuries on her body were healed, her face became thinner, "Is Your Highness blaming the concubine?" She lowered her eyes and sobbed.
"What do you blame?" He asked rhetorically.
Her fingers curled slightly, "The matter of the crown princess." ”
Nangong Yan raised his eyes, and the cold light approached, "I only want to ask you, did you and my own flesh and blood slip off the plan yourself?" ”
Suddenly, Green Yin's body trembled, gritted his teeth hard, pinched his fingers into his palms, and whispered, "Yes, yes..."
"You know you don't like me to get close to Qiqi, so I'll look at you, after she married into the East Palace, I didn't even touch her. You see all of this. But later, you took the initiative to let me get close to her, if you don't like her, you can tell me directly, but you have to be different, I don't know what benefits Concubine Yi gave you, so that you can do your best for her. ”
Nangong Yan didn't roar at her, and said these words with a very calm face. But in my heart, it hurts terribly. The person in front of him is the person who has been with him for twelve years. His heart hurt when their child was gone, and he was even more heartbroken to know that she had a different heart for him.
Midori's body trembled even more, tears falling to the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head. Nangong Yan didn't roar, she was the one who was most afraid, "After I left the East Palace in a bad mood, I accidentally met bandits on the road, they, they wanted to force my body, yes, it was Concubine Yi Niangniang who saved me." ”
She clasped her hands and whispered the bitter water that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
In an instant, Nangong Yan's cold eyes shrank, her slender and smooth hands grabbed her shoulders, and her eyes pressed closer, "What did you say?" ”
She turned her face away, not wanting to look directly at him with a shocked gaze, "If it weren't for the concubine Niangniang, the body of the concubine would not be all His Highness." ”
Nangong Yan's heart ached terribly, and his voice was hoarse, "But after you left, I sent someone to look for you, and I sent someone every day, but there was no news at all, and I didn't know where you went at all." ”
"I've always been in Yanjing City, I haven't gone far, I was too angry at the time, but I was reluctant to stay too far away from His Highness." Finally, she looked up, and there were still tears in her eyes.
"Concubine Yi Niangniang saved me, and I am grateful. At that time, I was also angry that His Royal Highness married the crown princess, so I made up my mind to help her, so I did those things, Your Highness, can you forgive the concubine? ”
Green Yin stared at him, and his eyes revealed a deep affection.
Nangong Yan's hand holding her arm tightened a little, and then he hugged her into his arms, "If I had known that you had suffered like that, I would have gone out to look for you in person." ”
His chin rested on her shoulder, his eyes closed.
Midori smiled in his arms, "It's okay, it's okay now." ”
He let go of his hand and cupped her face, "Now that you have my protection, promise me that you won't help Concubine Yi anymore, okay?" ”
"Okay."
Midori smiled at the corners of her lips and promised him.
When Ah Jian helped Yu Qiqi, who was covered with scars, to the outside of the Changhuan Palace, he happened to meet Nangong Yan holding Lu Yin's face, and the two were looking at each other with affection.
"Is that my husband?"
Her lips were pale, and she asked Ajian.
Ah Jian's eyes were still very red, and he was distressed and angry in his heart, so he had to nod, "Well, His Royal Highness is the princess's husband." ”
Hearing the voice, Nangong Yan hurriedly raised her head and looked over, Yu Qiqi, who was covered in scars, was supported by Ah Jian, and she had to rely on Ah Jian to support her to barely stand still.
"Seventy-seven..."
Nangong Yan let go of the green groan and ran towards her.
Yu Qiqi smiled, stretched out his hand to him, slowly touched his face, and said seriously: "Ah Jian said that you are my husband, but why are you holding someone else's face?" Our Nanzhao woman, married to a husband, can only have one beloved woman, that is, his wife, and will never look at other women more. ”
"I..." Nangong Yan was stunned, and didn't know how to explain to her for a while, the scars on her body were too dazzling, and he opened his mouth to persuade her, "I'll take you back and take care of the wounds on your body first." ”
"Okay." Yu Qiqi blinked weakly and agreed.
Ah Jian still held Yu Qiqi's hand tightly, and after a while, he was willing to let go.
After Chu Peiyu left, she had been guarding outside the gate of the prison, and when she saw Yu Qiqi being released today, she hurriedly ran up, but her eyes lost their previous clarity, and the whole person's thoughts became a lot scattered, and when she saw her, she actually asked her who she was.
On the way back, Ah Jian told her about her life experience, and she asked her, where is her husband? Why didn't you look at her for so long?
