Chapter 54: A bite back

The atmosphere in the room became very strange, and the little eunuch who was standing on the side and serving tensed up, standing tremblingly, and did not dare to come out.

Emperor Yan Jing immediately stood up, reached out and grabbed Concubine Yi's wrist, and the force of his palm made his whole body tremble slightly, "You just can't see me doing well?" Xuanyu is like this, and so are you? ”

He gritted his teeth and frowned.

"You don't compare Xuanyu's woman with me, I'm different from her!" As soon as Shen Xuanyu was mentioned, hatred burst out in Concubine Yi's eyes.

Emperor Yan Jing snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes, "It's different, although she is fighting for power and profit with me, she won't be like you, in order to achieve her goal, anything can be sacrificed!" The words were thorny, and he ordered the little eunuch on the side, "Take the concubine down and see Chief Song." ”

When he said this, his tone was calm, but it was full of terrible danger.

"Yes!"

The little eunuch walked up, bowed down and said, "Concubine Yiniang, let's go." ”

Concubine Yi's eyes were surging, her back was slightly cold, she pretended to be calm and walked in front, the little eunuch followed behind her, and Emperor Yan Jing looked at her stiff back and slowly hooked the corners of her mouth.

She was taken to the prison, Song Gaoyun had been locked up here for more than a month, she thought that Emperor Yan Jing would kill him directly, but when she saw him, she knew Emperor Yan Jing's purpose.

The person in front of him was chained all over his body, tied to a wooden stake, his hair was messy, and his hands that were driven to the wooden stake had broken off his ten fingers and fell to the ground, which was very terrifying.

Rao is concubine was so vicious before, and when she saw Song Gaoeun in front of her at this moment, she couldn't help but take a step back, but the little eunuch behind her grabbed her back, "Concubine Yi Niangniang has to look at it carefully, don't miss the emperor's intentions." After he finished speaking, he sneered and pushed her forward hard.

She didn't stand still, she could only hold on to the stake.

"Concubine Niangniang..."

Song Gao, who was still in a coma, heard the voice and hurriedly raised his head, the light was dim, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but what appeared in his eyes was fear and pleading, "Niangniang save me, for the sake of the old slave who has done so many things for you, you help the old slave to intercede..."

His body was trembling violently, and in the more than a month he had been in prison, he had lived every day worse than death, and fear had already hit his heart.

Concubine Yi swallowed the dryness in her throat, her mind kept floating, and she couldn't settle down, "I, I can't save you..."

For a moment, Song Gao's expression froze on his bloodstained face, "The emperor loves you so much, how could he not agree to your request?!" ”

"I can't save you!"

was reprimanded by him, and the concubine's face also showed a look of despair, what is the use of saving her out? It's just a burden!

Song Gaoyan sneered, as if he had seen through her thoughts, "You cold-blooded and ruthless poisonous woman, I have done things for you for so many years in vain, but you don't remember your old feelings at all?!" ”

She tried to stand up straight, not to look so embarrassed, "Manager Song, if you do something wrong, you should be punished, and you should endure the torture in this prison!" ”

Concubine Yi clenched her hands, her neck trembling slightly. When he spoke, there was no trace of warmth.

"You poisonous woman, you will definitely not die a good death, you will not die a good death!" Seeing that there was no turning point, Song Guanyi turned his face in an instant and roared at her.

Concubine Yi slowly turned around and walked towards the outside of the prison, leaving only Song Gao's roar.

Shen Feihong and Liu Mo Nian have also been in a state of preparation for war in the past few days, Liu Mo Nian did not have much maintenance of Nangong Yan's words in the court, over the years, he has been doing his duty to do what the criminal department should do, and others can't see that he is Nangong Yan's eyeliner placed in the court.

Therefore, those courtiers who were afraid of Nangong Yan's fall and immediately reported to him sent the message, but the two of them saved this effort.

But the master is not there, and they still have to guard this side of Yanjing City, so they must pay close attention to the movements of Old Marquis Lin and his party, and whenever there is any trouble, the two of them will communicate with each other.

On this day, Liu Mo Nian had just come back from the palace, he had a drooping face, obviously not in a good mood, suddenly, a figure jumped down from the eaves in front of him, stood in front of him, and startled him, "Uncle Guo, don't pinch it when you come next time." ”

He patted his chest, stunned.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the emperor relieved the old thing of the Lin family in the court? Shen Feihong couldn't go to court, so he could only ask for news from his mouth.

Liu Mo Nian sighed, didn't reply to him directly, and walked to the house, Shen Feihong twisted a pair of twos, so he had to follow him.

He poured a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it before saying: "The emperor didn't let him go, but look at the atmosphere in the court today, it should be soon, His Royal Highness should almost come back, otherwise this court situation should be turned upside down by the old marquis Lin." ”

Shen Feihong furrowed his brows, "Didn't you say that he had a serious illness as soon as he went back?" ”

Liu Mo Nian sneered, and he didn't even have time to put down the cup, so he scolded: "If he is really sick, his trembling body for so many years will not be able to endure it for a long time, and he can still stand on top of the court like today!" ”

Today, the old marquis Lin, who had been fighting for a few days, appeared in the court again, with a wipe on his forehead, looking at a serious illness, but when it comes to Xue Jingcheng's matter, it is called an indignant and excited, where can it be seen that he has a serious illness, and he is free from relying on the old and selling the old!

"It seems that eighty percent of them are pretended." Shen Feihong nodded as if he didn't understand, he wasn't in the court, and it was not easy to judge.

"What are you doing today?" Liu Mo Nian took another sip of tea, and his shrewd eyes squinted past and fell on him.

Shen Feihong replied, "I came to talk about the old thing of the Lin family, today I accidentally found out that Yan Shiqing went to the Hou Ye's Mansion, and it was after that old thing went to the early dynasty, I thought I was going to wait for news, the two of them, will they join forces together?" ”

There was still a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Yan Shiqing?"

Liu Mo Nian slowly put down the teacup in his hand, "There is some relationship between him and His Royal Highness, Old Marquis Lin turned out Xue Jingcheng's case in order to deal with His Highness, if he joins forces with Yan Shiqing this time, it is not impossible to do so." ”

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly shook, "Did we fall for them?" ”

Shen Feihong's face flashed with panic, and he stared at him coldly, "What do you say?" ”

"Do you think they would have expected that the emperor didn't want to turn over this case again, so they chose to start when His Royal Highness was not in Yanjing City, because they knew that the emperor would not want His Highness to return to Yanjing City so quickly, and the courtiers who supported His Highness would definitely send him a letter. And they can take advantage of this opportunity to bring down His Highness! ”

The more Liu Mo Nian said, the more he felt that this matter was not so simple.

"So, Your Highness has to return to the city as soon as possible!" Shen Feihong's face also became less good-looking, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry, let's send the news to His Highness first, Your Highness will definitely have his own considerations." After working for Nangong Yan for so many years, he is still very confident in his strategy Liu Monian.

"Hmm!"

Shen Feihong hurriedly nodded.

As soon as he left the mansion of the last year of Liu, he handed a message to Nangong Yan, but unfortunately, as soon as he left Yanjing City, he was stopped by Lin Chaofu's people.

The guard returned to him and squatted down, "Back to the Hou Ye, the person has been dealt with." He raised a pair of phoenix eyes slightly, "Go down." ”

He bowed his head and withdrew.

After that, Lin Chaofu walked to the bed of Old Marquis Lin and bowed his head slightly, "Grandfather expected that he had a good idea, Shen Feihong really sent someone out to report to Nangong Yan." ”

"When he did things for Shen Xuanyu back then, I understood his methods, and I could naturally think clearly about his next step."

Old Marquis Lin was lying on the bed, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"Now that we have stopped people, presumably Nangong Yan will not return to Yanjing during this time, and our chances of winning are still very good." Lin Chaofu's eyes were bright.

Old Marquis Lin's face sank, "Don't underestimate Nangong Yan, after all, the emperor has not yet made up his mind to track him down." ”

"Yes."

After a moment of silence, Lin Chaofu agreed.

In the palace of the king of Xichu County, Wu Lian stood in front of the king of Xichu County and presented him with the news handed over by Yu Zhengyan, he said that Nangong Yan lived a very leisurely life every day in Nanzhao, and it seemed that there was no purpose in coming to Nanzhao, just to escort Yu Qiqi back.

After reading it, he turned the things in his hand into ashes with the force of his palm, stretched out his five fingers, and the ashes in his hands drifted away with the wind and fell into the fish pond below.

"Yanjing's side is already in trouble." Wu Lian told him the news that the maidservants had returned from Yanjing, and then, she lowered her eyes, "Nangong Yan's side has not yet made a decision." ”

"Whether he makes a decision or not, this matter is up to him!" After waiting for so many days, the patience of the king of Xichu County has long been worn out.

Besides, there is still Old Marquis Lin and they are helping him.

"Then, Yan Shiqing? Wu Lian frowned, but still asked this sentence. Now, Yan Shiqing is also on their side, and it is still useful.

The king of Xichu turned around, glanced at her, and replied faintly: "Keep it first." ”

"Hmm."

Wu Lian nodded immediately, and the joy that flashed in the corner of her eyes was seen by him.

Nangong Yan's movements in Nanzhao have always been watched, and after waiting for someone to leave quietly, Chu Peiyu walked into his dormitory and bowed his head to him, "Yanjing's secret guards have been hidden around the palace, the situation in the court is not optimistic, and the emperor is forced to be very embarrassed by the old marquis Lin." Your Highness, if you don't move again, I'm just afraid..."

"That old fox of the Lin family, his ability is really not small, if it weren't for his father taking care of his face, I'm afraid that this would have nothing to do with me."

When he said this, he couldn't hear the choice.

"It's just that for some reason it's been so long, but there has been no movement on Uncle Guo's side, and he has always been the most worried about Your Highness."

Chu Peiyu expressed the doubts in his heart, in the past few days, he has always felt that it is not quite right.

"It's not that there is no movement, it's that the movement is just afraid that it has been intercepted by the old fox halfway, and the imperial uncle is not the opponent of the old fox." Nangong Yan's eyebrows and eyes were full of sound, and a cold air also emanated from the whole person, "Pack up your things, I'll leave for Yanjing tonight!" ”

Chu Peiyu was taken aback, "Tonight? "Yu Zhengyan's people are still staring at him, and this is in the Nanzhao Palace, Yu Qiqi is still here, how can he leave to go back tonight?

"I'll go back first, you stay here and escort the crown princess back." Nangong Yan repeated.

"Your Highness is alone, how can this work?!" Chu Peiyu clenched the sword in his hand, and the doubts on his face became heavier.

"This time I went back to Yanjing, I had to be hidden, I went back alone, and the target would not be too big, so as to avoid their ears and eyes." He paused, a hint of embarrassment crossed his face, "However, this matter..." paused, he didn't finish speaking, he only ordered: "You go and call the crown princess over." ”

Chu Peiyu couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, so he just nodded and retreated.

At that time, Yu Qiqi was still mixed with Ah Jian in the pomegranate orchard, Ah Jian lay on the tree and picked pomegranates for her, and they were going back to Yanjing in a while, she wanted to pick more and bring them back when the time came.

"Princess, go on!"

Ah Jian threw a very large pomegranate from the tree, and Yu Qiqi raised his head and caught it with a basket.

Chu Peiyu went to the pomegranate orchard and saw that she was holding a basket, hurriedly walked up, took the basket in her hand, and said, "Your Highness has invited the crown princess to take over for the crown princess." ”

"Huh? He's looking for me? ”

Yu Qiqi pursed her lips, she was not very happy to go over, she was enjoying it.

"Yes, I think there is an urgent matter to discuss with the crown princess." Chu Peiyu's eyes were filled with eagerness.

She sighed, took off her hands crossed over her waist, straightened her clothes, and walked out of the pomegranate orchard. Ah Jian was still picking Zhenghuan on the tree, lowered her head, and saw Chu Peiyu holding a basket below, she blinked vigorously, only to realize that she really didn't see the wrong person, "Why are you?" What about the princess? She asked.

"Palace..."Chu Peiyu originally wanted to say, 'Your Highness has something to do with the crown princess', but when she thought of it, Ah Jian was very mindful that Yu Qiqi went over to find him, so she changed her words and said: "The queen has something to do with the crown princess, so she left first." As he spoke, his hand holding the basket went up a little more.

Ah Jian tilted his head, didn't think about it anymore, and muttered, "Don't tell me when you leave." Then he threw the pomegranate in his hand into his basket.

"What are you looking for from me?"

Yu Qiqi swaggered into his dormitory, and asked him before he could sit down.

Nangong Yan sat on the bench, his eyes were full of deep thought, and after a while, he reluctantly spoke, "There is something I want to ask you for." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the tea in Yu Qiqi's mouth almost squirted out, "You?!" She pointed at him with her finger and laughed heartily, "Do you Nangong Yan have something to ask me?" ”

She looked like this, Nangong Yan was even more difficult, he originally thought that she would be like this, but he didn't expect that this reaction was even bigger than he imagined, "You laugh, I'll talk about it when you're done laughing." ”

At this moment, he could only follow her first.

After a while, Yu Qiqi stopped laughing, she coughed, sat upright, and looked turned over, "If you have anything to ask Princess Ben, tell me." ”

Nangong Yan also sat up straight, and a pair of eyes fell on her, "I have something to rush back to Yanjing first, I will leave Chu Peiyu behind and escort you back when the time comes." Your father and queen mother, can you help me talk about it? I'll wait until I'm leaving. ”

"Why don't you tell them yourself?" At this moment, Yu Qiqi is very arrogant, he wants to go back, she raised her hands in approval, just to say, what is there to embarrass him.

"I can't make a noise about my return this time, including your father and queen mother, so I can only let you talk about it for me."

Nangong Yan was unspeakably hidden, and she didn't tell her, she didn't know what happened in Yanjing.

"But my father, queen mother, will not do anything to you." Yu Qiqi pursed his lips, they are all very talkative, does he trust them anymore?

Nangong Yan thought for a while and asked her, "Do you remember that last time we were on the way back to Nanzhao, we met the people of the King of Western Chu County. ”

Yu Qiqi nodded slightly, that time, it was Nangong Yan who saved her.

His brows furrowed slightly, "The people of the King of Western Chu have been following us, if you tell your father and mother about my return to Yanjing in advance, then they will definitely know the news." ”

She frowned, looking at his preoccupied expression, not like he was fooling her.

There was silence for a moment before she asked him, "And when do you want me to tell them?" ”

"Two days later, two days later I will be able to return to Yanjing. During these two days, I will release the news that I am not feeling well and that no one is allowed to visit me. ”

Nangong Yan's eyes were eager, waiting for her to agree to his request.

"What good is it if I promise to help you?" Yu Qiqi tilted his head and asked him.

Almost the next moment, he spoke, "What benefits do you want?" ”

She pursed her lips, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I'm done." ”

"Okay, I'll promise you a wish." Nangong Yan should inherit it.

Yu Qiqi stood up and left satisfied, not caring at all when he left, and ran to the pomegranate orchard to find Ajian.

When Chu Peiyu saw her coming back, he hurriedly rushed back to pack up his things for Nangong Yan.

After nightfall, he released the news that Nangong Yan was unwell, and closed the door and disappeared. Nangong Yan put on a dark cloak and disappeared into the night.

And the situation in the Yanjing court has intensified. Shen Feihong waited for several days, but he didn't see Nangong Yan's figure, and he was already impatient.

Liu Mo Nian quietly ran to his uncle's mansion, and before he could get in front of him, he opened his mouth to question him, "Didn't you say that you sent someone to report to His Highness?" Why haven't you seen your Highness for so many days?! ”

Shen Feihong spread his hands and was speechless, "This... I don't know..."He's been sending people out for a few days, but there's been no news at all.

Suddenly, Liu Monian's face sank, "It can't be that he was robbed, right?" "Nanzhao Mountain is a long way away, and no one can say what happened halfway.

"How so? How can my people be so good?! Shen Feihong was not convinced, and immediately denied his idea.

"Tell me, then, where have the people gone?" Liu Monian was stuck in his waist, and his straight-lined court clothes were about to be wrinkled for him.

"Perhaps, maybe he's already on his way back..."Shen Feihong replied to him with some lack of confidence.

"Come on, I'd better go back first and see what I can do with that old thing!" Hearing the lack of confidence in his words, Liu Monian waved his hand and decided to go back and think about it himself.

"What do you mean by that? Am I not for the sake of His Highness? Shen Feihong saw that he was disappointed in himself, and called out twice in his heart.

The next day, the old marquis Lin went to the court with illness again, this is the third time he has ascended to the court after he came back, and the eyes of those courtiers looking at him are very complicated, there are respect, inquiry, and contempt...

"Your Majesty, although it is not enough to certify the physical evidence, these two physical evidences are enough to prove that the rebellion of Prime Minister Xue Cheng was framed by His Royal Highness the Prince, and now that he is hiding in Nanzhao and not coming back, it is even more confirmed, what is the emperor still hesitating about?!"

His dark-colored straight-robed court clothes stabbed Emperor Yan Jingdi's eyes painfully, and the words that came out of his mouth gave him a headache.

"The crown prince is not in Yanjing now, when he comes back, I will let him confront you in person, can't the old marquis Lin even wait for these few days?"

Emperor Yan Jing's words had a coercive implication in them.

"Your Majesty, more than half a month has passed, and His Royal Highness has already heard the rumors in fear, but he doesn't dare to come back to confront the old marquis face to face, isn't it tacit?"

Some courtiers stood up and questioned him.

"That's right, Your Highness, Your Highness must not dare to come back, otherwise why would so many days have passed, and there is no news at all?"

When someone came forward, more and more courtiers stood up and raised doubts.

Liu Monian clenched the Chao Wat in his hand and stood up, "Old Marquis, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Yanjing City, do you want to force the emperor to make a decision?" Throughout the ages, there has been no such reason. ”

"Why did Lord Liu say such a thing, the old minister is just telling the truth, if His Royal Highness really wanted to come back to confront the old minister, he would have come back a long time ago, why would he have relied on it for so long? If he doesn't come back for a year and a half, will the emperor have to put this old case on hold? ”

The words spoken by the old marquis Lin were aggressive.

Liu Mo Nian gritted his teeth, and the hand holding Chao Wat was held tighter, his plan was similar to what he predicted, they all fell for him, thinking that Nangong Yan would stay in Nanzhao for a while longer, and this matter would be eased, but he didn't expect him to bite back.

"Lord Liu, is the old minister right?" Seeing that he couldn't speak, the old marquis Lin chased after him and asked him again, and he had already suppressed him in momentum.

Liu Mo Nian raised his head and looked straight at him, his eyes were calm without a trace of panic, "Weichen only knows that the emperor will judge himself." ”

Old Marquis Lin snorted coldly, and turned back to look at Emperor Yan Jing, "Then, please ask the emperor to judge it." Behind him, there were still courtiers standing supporting him, which meant that he was going to force Emperor Yan Jing to make a decision today.

"Old Marquis Lin really has a good means, taking advantage of the absence of His Royal Highness in Yanjing, he ran to the court to set off this bloody storm."

Outside the hall, Nangong Yan's calm voice came.

Old Marquis Lin's face changed, and he immediately turned around, Nangong Yan was wearing a jade unicorn gold silk trimmed robe, slowly walked in front of him, and said to him faintly, "If His Royal Highness remembers correctly, the old marquis shouldn't appear above the court again, right?" ”
