"Ah Qi, how can you be so rude to your husband?"

Nangong Yan didn't come alone, behind him, there was still Queen Nanzhao. At this moment, he was looking at Yu Qiqi with a straight face.

Her face that was full of vigilance a moment ago disappeared in an instant, and she walked towards her queen mother with a smile, "Ah Niang, why did you come here with Your Highness?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was summoned by me, and it's time for dinner, why are you still sleeping?" On weekdays, Empress Nanzhao treats her harshly, but now that Nangong Yan is here, she must show the majesty she should have as a queen.

"Today, when my daughter came back from a walk with her mother, she felt very tired, so she accidentally fell asleep." Yu Qiqi pursed her lips, not daring to look at her.

She frowned, "With a livestock in your arms, what kind of body is it?!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Qiqi hurriedly put Ah Huang down and let it obediently enter the cage by itself.

After that, Empress Nanzhao's face softened slightly, and she turned her face sideways to Nangong Yan and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let you see a smile." ”

"It's not the first time he's seen me like this..."Yu Qiqi muttered, but he didn't dare to say too loudly.

When Empress Nanzhao heard this, she turned her face and glared at her fiercely, and she immediately shut up.

Nangong Yan smiled, "Qiqi and I have been in the East Palace for so long, and I have long been used to this. The words were full of relief, as if they were very familiar with her.

"Really? This time, it was Empress Nanzhao's turn to face a little unbearable.

It didn't take long for dinner to come up, Queen Nanzhao and Nangong Yan ate well, but Yu Qiqi couldn't sit still, so she used it in three or two.

Empress Nanzhao saw her embarrassment and didn't say anything.

After finishing dinner together, before she could say a few words to Nangong Yan, Yu Qiqi found a reason to drive him away.

said that he was tired from going around the palace today, and he should go back to rest earlier, if she didn't let go, it would be hers, so she had to let Nangong Yan go back first.

"What's going on with you? Isn't it okay to be outside during the day? After he left, Empress Nanzhao asked her.

Yu Qiqi took her hand and helped her to sit down on the edge of the soft sleeper, "A-Niang, don't worry about your daughter's affairs, I'm fine with His Royal Highness, but I'm really tired today, so I'll send him away first, otherwise he will be noisy and stick to me on weekdays!" ”

How could she talk to her aunt about her bitterness in the East Palace, so she could only boast that she had a good relationship with Nangong Yan, so that she could feel at ease.

Empress Nanzhao looked at her lovingly, there was gentleness surging in her eyes, and it took a while for her to speak, "Ah Qi, if you suffer in the East Palace, you can say it in front of Ah Niang, lying in Ah Niang's arms and crying, but if you don't say anything, Ah Niang is really sad." ”

She didn't want to hear what she was saying, she just wanted to hear her tell the truth.

Yu Qiqi was stunned, and suddenly, his eyelashes were dyed wet, and this subtle expression couldn't hide from Queen Nanzhao's eyes, "You are not a crying child, if you are really uncomfortable, you can cry." She raised her hand, a gentle palm caressing the corner of her eye.

"Auntie..."

In an instant, Yu Qiqi threw himself into her arms.

Empress Nanzhao's eyebrows loosened, she reached out to cover her back, and gently followed, "A-Niang knows that the East Palace in Yanjing is not so good." ”

Although she has been married for more than a year, Nangong Yan looks at her and is not very close to her.

"Actually, His Royal Highness, he doesn't like his daughter, he will marry his daughter, but it is just because he was forced by his father." She hesitated to say this.

"Don't be afraid, although we have surrendered in battle, you still have me and your father to support you, as well as a few of your brothers."

Empress Nanzhao comforted her for a moment.

"Ah Qi knows that Daddy, Auntie and my brothers care about me very much." Yu Qiqi was lying in the arms of Empress Nanzhao, you, tears flickering.

"Well, it's just that if you marry him, you have to restrain your temperament, you can't blindly go toe-for-tat with him, what men don't like the most is that their wives are hard with themselves, you still have to be coquettish when you should be coquettish, but you have to live a lifetime in the East Palace."

She passed on to her her years of experience as a wife.

"However, Brother Qing said that he would think of taking me away from the East Palace, and I wouldn't stay in it for the rest of my life."

Yu Qiqi raised her head, her eyes were still full of expectations, Yan Shiqing could always give her a sense of peace of mind, so she believed her words.

"Good boy, A-Niang knows that Shiqing's child likes you, but you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after all, even if he is capable, he can't fight His Royal Highness the Prince."

In the end, her eyes are more vicious, although she has only met Nangong Yan twice, but Empress Nanzhao can see that Nangong Yan is a person with a deep city, and she has also heard a little about the methods of Concubine Xuanyu back then.

Yes, the son of Xuanyu Guifei will naturally not be far behind. On the contrary, now that Nanzhao has become a war surrender country, and Western Chu is a dominant family, if Yanjing and Western Chu fight in the future, then according to Yanjing's strength, Yu Qiqi will have a greater chance of surviving in Yanjing.

But if you follow Yan Shiqing back, it won't be necessarily.

"Why does A-Niang have such praise for him?" Yu Qiqi was puzzled, Nangong Yan was in her eyes, and it was like that, and he often treated her coldly, so she liked him.

"But I'm afraid that he will come..."Empress Nanzhao snorted, after all, she didn't say all the words, she lowered her head, touched the back of her head, and smiled, "It's nothing." ”

Yu Qiqi blinked and lay back in her arms.

During the time when Nangong Yan accompanied Yu Qiqi back to Nanzhao, Yan Shiqing and Lin Chaofu quickened their pace, and when Nangong Yan came back, they asked the old marquis Lin to go to the court to visit him.

This time he is not in Yanjing City, it is the best time.

Many people in the court know that the old marquis Lin has returned, and the students he has brought have also visited him in private, and his prestige in the court has gradually been established, and many people can't figure out why he suddenly returned to Yanjing City, but when they think of the events of the year, they gradually understand it again.

When he returned to his hometown, he said that as long as Nangong Yan sat on the throne of the prince for a day, he would never step into Yanjing City. Although there were few people who knew about this at the time, as time passed, more people spread it. Eighty percent of this time is related to Nangong Yan.

On this day, Emperor Yan Jing and his ministers were in the early court, and Lin Chaofu suddenly stood up from the list of ministers and said: "Back to the emperor, the ministers have something to do." ”

Emperor Yan Jing was looking at the fold in his hand, and when he heard his voice, he raised his head, his eyes fell on him, and he slowly spit out a word in his mouth, "Say." ”

It is really strange that Lin Xiaohou, who has never paid attention to the affairs of the government, has something to play. However, his eyes slowly cooled.

"Weichen's grandfather recently returned to Yanjing City to avenge an old man." Lin Chaofu lowered his head, his face unflustered.

Emperor Yan Jing's eyes froze, and he still asked in a deep voice, "Which old man?" ”

Lin Chaofu narrowed his eyes, "Xue Jingcheng is the old prime minister of Xue." ”

"Presumptuous! Back then, he colluded with foreign ministers and deliberately plotted rebellion, which was a foregone conclusion, where did he come from the grievances? ! Emperor Yan Jing patted the dragon table, and the name that Lin Chaofu said annoyed him.

Immediately, Lin Chaofu knelt on the ground, "Only Weichen's grandfather knows the inside story!" I beg the emperor to let my grandfather come in and see me! ”

It stands to reason that the old marquis Lin has returned to his hometown, and it is not suitable to appear in the court.

"Xue Jingcheng's case has been decided many years ago, and it is useless to call Old Marquis Lin to come!" The flesh on Emperor Yan Jing's cheeks trembled slightly, and his whole face was gloomy.

The minister who had seen the old marquis Lin in private, and when he saw that the two were deadlocked, he immediately knelt behind Lin Chaofu and interceded for him, "Your Majesty, the old marquis Lin has been contributing to the Yanjing Dynasty all his life, and it can be said that he is fulfilling his duties. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen begs the Emperor to let the old Marquis Lin go on a pilgrimage!"

"Weichen begs the emperor to let the old marquis Lin go on a pilgrimage!"

...

Several ministers knelt behind Lin Chaofu and seconded the proposal one by one.

"You... Are you trying to force me? "Emperor Yan Jing can see that they are all courtiers who were brought out by the old marquis Lin at the beginning, and he has no objection to them wanting to trouble Nangong Yan, but what he opposes is to dig out the troubles of Xue Jingcheng back then.

"Grandfather once threatened that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reigned for one day, he would never set foot in Yanjing City, and now he came back for the sake of Prime Minister Xue, which can be described as a matter of affection and righteousness, and I hope that the emperor can see that grandfather is so affectionate, let him tell the inside story of the year!"

Lin Chaofu refused to give in, knelt on the ground, buried his head low, but the words he said were loud.

Facing down, nearly half of the courtiers who have already knelt down, he should have called him to the palace when he learned that the old marquis Lin had returned to Yanjing City, and now in this situation, they will not give up easily.

The court was silent for a long time, he raised his eyes, glared at Lin Chaofu, and said in a sullen tone, "Old Marquis Xuanlin!" ”

"Yes." The attendant on the side hurriedly ran down.

After a summons, the old marquis Lin walked in calmly from outside the hall wearing a black straight-robed court dress and an official hat, "Old minister, see the emperor!" As soon as he walked to the court, he knelt down and saluted Emperor Yan Jing, this gesture was solemn and majestic, and he must be making a big move today.

"Old marquis, please get up."

Emperor Yan Jing's tone of voice to him still carried a trace of respect, after all, he was a veteran of the two dynasties, an old minister from the previous dynasty, and he still had to give face in the court.

Old Marquis Lin bowed his head at him and slowly stood up from the ground, "The old minister came today to complain about Prime Minister Xue's grievances. Xue Jingcheng used to be his staff, the two have worked together for many years, and they are his friends in the court, and it makes sense for him to appeal for him.

"I don't know, Xue Jingcheng's case has been settled for so many years, what evidence does Old Marquis Lin have in his hand to insist on overturning the case for him?"

Emperor Yan Jing had a calm face, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Back to the emperor, the old minister hurriedly resigned and insisted on returning to his hometown, in fact, to avoid pursuit." Old Marquis Lin raised his head slightly, and his expression was calm.

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were in an uproar.

Emperor Yan Jing also frowned, "How do you say this?" ”

"When Prime Minister Xue Cheng was accused of rebellion, he was actually framed, and when the emperor ordered Prime Minister Xue's family to be punished, he sent someone to find the old minister in the Hou Ye's mansion and handed the old minister a thing, and the words on it were written down word by word with his own blood."

Old Marquis Lin took out an old strip of cloth from his cuff and presented it to the chamberlain, he continued: "Later, someone chased and killed the Hou Ye's mansion, killed the person who came to tell the whistle, and deliberately wanted to kill the old minister. ”

There was no trace of fear on his face, more anger. Xue Jingcheng, like him, opposed Nangong Yan's ascension to the crown prince back then, and he was framed, so he was naturally angry in his heart.

Hearing this, Emperor Yan Jingdi's brows furrowed even tighter, when he resigned, he only thought that he really felt that he was old, so he resigned, and now it seems that the inside story is a little crazy.

His eyes were gloomy, and he asked, "Who sent the Assassins?" At this time, the chamberlain had already presented the blood book to him, and he opened the blood book and looked down.

After he saw half of it, the old marquis Lin slowly spoke, "The old minister never imagined that the person sent to chase and kill was actually sent by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

At this time, the uproar above the court was even louder, and several courtiers were already frightened.

On the other side, the courtiers who supported Nangong Yan couldn't stand anymore, and immediately stood up to accuse the old marquis Lin, "As soon as the old marquis comes back, he will come to the court to frame His Royal Highness the Prince, what is his intention?!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old minister has just exposed the true face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, lest you support the wrong monarch in the future."

Old Marquis Lin turned around and laughed wildly.

"Back then, you opposed His Royal Highness the Prince's ascension to the throne of the Prince, and now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in Yanjing City, you will take this opportunity to disturb the court, and his heart can be punished!"

This point was seen by the courtiers in the court.

"That is, what is the heart of the old marquis?!"

"What's your intention?!"

...

In the court, there was another commotion.

When the two sides were arguing, Emperor Yan Jing had already finished reading the blood book presented by the old marquis Lin, and the content on it was Xue Jingcheng's words to complain to him, and every word was moving, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of heat in his heart when he read it, he had been contributing to the court for many years.

A calamity will turn the Prime Minister's Mansion into nothing.

"Shut up!"

After reading it, he slapped the dragon table again, and the noise below was silenced, and they all lowered their heads and stood in an orderly manner.

"I ask you, apart from Xue Jingcheng's blood letter, what evidence do you have to prove that what he said is true?" Emperor Yan Jingdi's hand holding the blood book was very tight, and his fingers were still trembling slightly.

The above evidence all points to Nangong Yan.

"Yes."

Lin Laocheng shook his head loudly, holding a purse in his hand, which contained what Emperor Yan Jing wanted.

Emperor Yan Jing's eyes were shocked, and the courtiers below all held their breath, watching him personally hand over the purse to Emperor Yan Jingdi's chamberlains, especially the courtiers who supported Nangong Yan, they didn't dare to come out, at this moment, Nangong Yan's position was very dangerous.

When the chamberlain presented it to Emperor Yan Jing, his hand that was about to stretch out his hand froze for a moment, and in the end, he suddenly took the purse over, poured the contents onto the dragon table, and there was a muffled sound of "dong", he stared at it and saw that it was the jade wrench he gave him when Nangong Yan was seven years old! The carved dragon pattern on it, he remembers it most clearly!

Although he was dissatisfied with Xuanyu's concubine fighting for power for him, it was also his son, and he was also pampered when he was a child, and as the eldest son, the things he gave him were naturally more noble, this jade wrench, he had never seen him wear it in the year Xuanyu died!

And that year, Xue Jingcheng's family was also beheaded for the crime of rebellion!

"This is what Prime Minister Xue Cheng asked the informant to hand over to the old minister, and the old minister has been carrying it with him for so many years!"

Old Marquis Lin was righteous, and his face was fierce.

Emperor Yan Jing held the jade wrench finger tightly in his hand, his face was solemn, and he didn't say a word.

He continued: "Your Majesty, when Xuanyu Guifei's family was imprisoned, she was to blame, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deducted such a big crime on Prime Minister Xue Cheng because of personal hatred, just to avenge Xuanyu's family, her crimes are numerous, how can she be worthy of the position of prince?!" ”

What he meant was to let him depose the crown prince!

Immediately, the courtiers who supported Nangong Yan were all frightened. If they lose Nangong Yan's backer, their official position will not be guaranteed.

After a long time, Emperor Yan Jing slowly spoke, "Now that the crown prince is not in Yanjing, I will consider this matter carefully." ”

Xue Jingcheng's case was decided by him back then, and now that the old marquis Lin wants to overturn the case, he is slapping him in the face by turning the case overturned.

"Your Majesty! The evidence of this matter is conclusive, and this matter cannot be shelved just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in Beijing, and someone can be sent to escort His Royal Highness back and confront the old minister in person! ”

Old Marquis Lin was indignant, he knew the meaning of Emperor Yan Jing's words, he just wanted to slow down this matter first, and when there was a turnaround, he would take it out and say, by that time, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.

"The prince went to Nanzhao, I personally assigned him to escort the crown princess back to see the seriously ill mother, is it possible that his filial piety, the old marquis will not let it go?" Obviously, Emperor Yan Jing rejected his request.

"Your Majesty..."

For a while, Old Marquis Lin didn't dare to speak with his waist like Fang Cai.

"It's just that it will take a few days, and His Royal Highness will come back and deal with it, the old marquis won't even be able to wait for these days, right?"

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, the courtiers who supported Nangong Yan immediately teased him.

"You guys! Old Marquis Lin looked at them angrily.

Lin Chaofu quietly tugged at his sleeve, his eyes signaled him not to argue any more, Emperor Yan Jing's face was already extremely impatient, and the face he gave him was already big enough.

Old Marquis Lin was stunned for a moment, so he had to lower his head, "The old minister listens to the emperor." ”

This matter can be regarded as a temporary end.

As soon as he got out of the court, someone secretly handed over the news to Nangong Yan.

Soon after learning that the old Marquis Lin came down from the court, Yan Shiqing quietly came to the Hou Ye's mansion, and he didn't know what the situation was in the court.

When I got there, I only saw Lin Chaofu, as soon as the old marquis Lin came back, he lay on the bed, he was old, and he had been fighting in the court for most of the day, and his body was already a little unbearable.

As soon as he saw Yan Shiqing, Lin Chaofu shook his head, and slowly spit out two words in his mouth, "It didn't work." ”

Yan Shiqing's eyes immediately dimmed, and he thought for a moment before he spoke: "It seems that Emperor Yan Jing still defends his son. ”

Otherwise, framing the prime minister of the current dynasty for the crime of rebellion is enough to pull him off the position of the crown prince.

Lin Chaofu shook his head again, "You don't know him well enough, what our emperor loves the most is his own face." ”

"Are you saying that he didn't want to turn over the case of the year because he was afraid of hitting himself in the face?" Yan Shiqing's eyes tightened, and his face was covered with shock.

Lin Chaofu nodded.

"Grandfather is asleep."

At this time, Lin Chaoge walked out of the house and met the two people talking on the corridor.

"I'm really sorry I didn't get to see Old Marquis Lin in person." Yan Shiqing bowed his head at the two of them.

Lin Chaoge's eyes sank, and he looked at them with a worried face, "Brother, can you tell Ge'er what you are doing?" Why did my grandfather go to the court once and come back so tired? She was worried about the old marquis Lin, so she asked what she hadn't asked.

Lin Chaofu's face froze, and he only smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, my grandfather came back this time to avenge an old man, and the emperor was unwilling to turn over the case of the year, so he trained my grandfather twice." ”

"Since it is for the sake of avenging the old man, why is Yan Shizi also here?" She pursed her lips and asked in a whisper.

Yan Shiqing's face was embarrassed, with embarrassment in his eyes, "I admire the reputation of Old Marquis Lin, so I have come more frequently these days, if it disturbs Miss Lin, then I will come less in the future." ”

Lin Chaoge immediately denied it, "No, I didn't mean that, I just felt that you guys seemed to be hiding something from me..."

"Ge'er, are you thinking too much, since you were a child, when did your brother lie to you?" Lin Chaofu grabbed her in front of him and took her down.

Then, he turned around and glanced at Yan Shiqing, who hurriedly turned around and left.

Three days later, Nangong Yan received a message from the courtiers, who told him not to rush back to Yanjing and stay in Nanzhao for a while.

said that the old marquis Lin came back, and he participated in the court, turning over the old case of Xue Jingcheng's rebellion, whether it was the blood book written by Xue Jingcheng himself, or the jade wrench finger handed in by the old marquis Lin, all kinds of evidence pointed to him, and the old marquis Lin wanted to use Xue Jingcheng's case to let Emperor Yan Jing depose the prince.

"Damn it!"

Nangong Yan clenched his fists, and said these two words with hatred in his mouth. The messenger was frightened by his anger and hurriedly retreated.

Chu Peiyu looked at his retreating figure, and then, he withdrew his eyes and looked at him, "Your Highness, it seems that Old Marquis Lin has never intended to let you go." Moreover, it is better to do it while you are not in Yanjing City. ”

"I said why did my jade wrench disappear back then, it turns out that he still has this hand." Nangong Yan sneered, his eyes were gloomy.

"Shall we rush back?" Chu Peiyu's heart was a little worried.

He immediately opened his mouth to stop, "No, Your Highness wants to see what other tricks he can play." ”

"Hmm."

Chu Peiyu nodded slightly.

Outside, there was the sound of light footsteps, and the sound of a note muttering.

"Your Highness is inside?" Yu Qiqi asked Chu Peiyu outside the door.

"Your Highness is inside." He whispered back.

"This is what my queen mother told me to bring to you."

The next moment, Yu Qiqi had already arrived in his dormitory and handed over a plate of pomegranates, the grains were full, and she peeled them all one by one.

It was July, and the pomegranate trees planted in her pomegranate orchard were full of fruit.

She remembered that he didn't like sweet things, but since it was her queen mother who said that she should ease her relationship with Nangong Yan, she came up with such a method.

"I don't like to eat sweet things." As she thought, he said it the next moment.

However, Nangong Yan suddenly looked at her hand and asked faintly, "You peeled it?" There was still a stain on her fingers.

Yu Qiqi nodded, "I peeled it." ”

"Then stay, I can't live up to the princess's heart." He immediately changed his tune, and his attitude changed very quickly.

For a while, Yu Qiqi's face also changed, she clenched her hands, tightened and let go, and said with a smile: "Then Your Highness has to eat it all, don't waste it." ”

"Okay."

He smiled in response.

As soon as he got out of his bedroom, not only Yu Qiqi, but Ah Jian also wanted to cry without tears, but she still held her cheeks and said, "Princess, the slave will go and pick it for you again." ”

In order to pick it for Nangong Yan, she had already climbed the tree all morning, Yu Qiqi still fooled her, Nangong Yan would not eat, and the two of them would be separated when the time came, who would have thought that everything was not as she expected.

"Okay, this is all the meaning of the queen mother, if you want to blame, blame the queen mother." Yu Qiqi smiled, the pomegranates on the tree were particularly difficult to pick, and the little eunuchs in the palace were reluctant to climb the pomegranate tree to pick them, only Ah Jian could be used by her.

Ah Jian's face changed immediately, "How dare the slave blame the queen mother." ”

"That's not it."

Yu Qiqi smiled and pulled her to the pomegranate orchard.

For several days, the court in Yanjing was very noisy, all of them were arguing for the old case of Xue Jingcheng's rebellion, one side was on the side of the old marquis Lin, and the other side was on the side of Nangong Yan.

Emperor Yan Jing's head was about to be blown up by them.

Just when he was frowning in the imperial study, Concubine Yi walked in from outside, still holding a bowl of soup in her hand, saying that she wanted to replenish Emperor Yan Jing's body.

"Bang dang!"

With a wave of his hand, the soup in the concubine's hand fell to the ground and splashed on the ground.

"Your Majesty, what is this doing? Are you still afraid that your concubine will poison you? Concubine Yi's eyes were cold, and she asked him in a strange way.

"You're here to see my jokes, aren't you?" Suddenly, Emperor Yan Jing raised his head and looked at her with a vicious gaze, which made her feel a chill in her heart.

"That's not enough, when Xue Jingcheng's case is really overturned, then the concubine will really come to see your joke."

The concubine covered her lips and smiled arrogantly.

If you like the concubine, you don't flirt: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hidden deeply, please collect: () Concubine, you don't flirt: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hidden and not revealed, and the update speed is the fastest.
