Since the fall of Concubine Xian, the emperor has never gone to the residence of other concubines except Fengluan Palace, and Qingyun can be said to be the only favor.

At first, there were some concubines who wanted to play tricks to compete for favor, but after repeated failures, they gradually stopped, and the harem gradually returned to calm, and no one dared to make waves again.

Although the concubines were jealous and dissatisfied in their hearts, they coveted the emperor's favor for Qingyun, so they had to dare to be angry and dare not speak, gritted their teeth to endure the resentment in their hearts, and took the initiative to show favor to Qingyun.

And the Queen Mother hid in the Kangsheng Palace all day long to worship the Buddha, and the two of them did not hear anything outside the window, and no one could easily see it.

Yes, the power of the entire harem really fell into the hands of Qingyun.

Nangong Ling saw that Qingyun had a very good relationship with the eldest prince, so he asked Qingyun to keep the eldest prince by his side.

Spring goes to autumn, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and five years have passed in a flash.

And the eldest prince Nangong Ji has gradually grown up, and the sunny and immature boy gradually understands what kind of emotion he likes and relies on Qingyun.

When he was young, he didn't understand why he fell in love with Qingyun at first sight, only that he liked to be with this sister who looked like a fairy, and later lived with her, which deepened his feelings for her.

It wasn't until he grew up and saw that his father was intimate with her, that the awkwardness and sourness that grew in his heart gradually understood that he had already developed a love for this woman who had raised him for five years.

Nangong Ji, who understood his intentions, was distressed, and was struggling with how to avoid Qingyun.

It happened that the previous dynasty was making trouble about the establishment of the crown prince, and the emperor felt that those old ministers were really annoying, and saw that the eldest prince had grown up, coupled with his kindness and filial piety, and he was calm, so he decided to make him the prince and let him move to the East Palace to live alone.

But Nangong Ji, who was separated from Qingyun, missed her very much, but she was afraid that her thoughts would be exposed, and she was depressed and entangled all day long.

He felt that he was in too much pain, so he had to borrow alcohol in the house to kill his sorrows.

On this day, Nangong Ji was dizzy with a pot of wine to drink, and his eyes were dizzy, so he wanted to find a place to blow the wind and relieve his hangover, so he shook his body and walked towards the pear pavilion at the highest place in the mansion with vain steps.

As soon as I entered the pear pavilion, a fresh breeze blew slowly, and the wine on my body was suddenly relieved, and my mind was much clearer.

Suddenly, I saw two people walking slowly under the pavilion, because the night was too dark to see their faces, but the voices of the two clearly fell in Nangong Ji's ears.

"I heard my brother who was on an errand in the palace say that His Majesty is going to abolish the prince and make the queen's own son the prince!"

"Really? This waste prince is a big deal, you can't talk nonsense! ”

Hearing this, Nangong Ji's drunkenness suddenly dissipated, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, only to see the person under the pavilion lower his voice and said.

"It's true! It is said that the prince does not think about his studies all day long, does not do business, and only knows that he spends all day drinking, His Majesty is quite disappointed, and His Majesty loves the queen so much, and he has the intention to abolish the prince, and it is normal to make the queen's son the prince! I advise you to leave the prince's mansion as soon as possible, lest the prince be deposed in the future, and we will be implicated, but I have already dragged out the relationship, and the day after tomorrow ......"

The two of them under the pavilion gradually walked away, and their voices gradually became inaudible, but Nangong Ji had already broken out in a cold sweat behind him.

He calmed down his panicked and disordered heart, and slowly calmed himself down, at this time he needed to think of a countermeasure, if it was really abolished, then his fate can be imagined.

So that night, he sent someone to invite his cronies to discuss countermeasures.

Several old ministers were woken up from their sleep, and there were many complaints in their hearts, but it was important to assist the prince, so they had to rush over overnight.

The people had different opinions on the emperor's intention to depose the crown prince, and they refused to give in to each other, and after arguing all night without any result, they had to disperse.

For several days in a row, there were rumors in the palace that the emperor wanted to abolish the prince, and some people even said that they had seen the emperor write the edict of the abolition of the prince.

When Nangong Ji didn't know how to deal with it, an uninvited guest came to the prince's mansion.

The man was dressed in a black robe and covered his whole body tightly, making it impossible to see his body and appearance, but there was a terrifying killing aura around his body, which made people feel afraid when they looked at it from a distance.

When the guards in the palace saw such a person appear, they all thought it was an assassin, and they all slashed at each other, until the person showed a golden token, then he relaxed his vigilance, took the token and went in to return to Nangong Ji.

When Nangong Ji saw the token engraved with the word "Yi", his expression was startled at first, and after thinking for a while, he asked the person to come in.

The two talked in the house for nearly an afternoon before the man left the prince's mansion, and since the man left, Nangong Ji became more nervous and panicked, but there was a trace of ruthlessness on his face compared to before.

Three days later, Nangong Ling was bowing his head in the imperial study to review the folds, and a purple figure suddenly appeared in front of him, the man lowered his head and held a soup cup, and slowly walked towards the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is worried that you are too tired to review the folds, so she specially ordered the slave maid to bring a soothing health soup to Your Majesty."

Nangong Ling's gaze was still on the fold, and he waved his hand and said, "Let it go!" ”

Occult Moon placed the soup cup on the imperial table, then stepped aside but did not leave.

Seeing that she would not leave without drinking, the emperor raised his head and glanced at her helplessly, and then picked up the soup cup and drank it.

After a while, Nangong Ling wiped his mouth and smiled helplessly: "Go back and tell your mother, I have received all her thoughts!" ”

Seeing the joy and pampering hidden in the emperor's tired eyes, she felt a little unbearable in her heart, but she respectfully took away the finished soup cup as usual and withdrew from the imperial study.

Seeing that she had finally left, Nangong Ling lowered his head and continued to review the folds, and after he had finished approving the folds for half a while, he suddenly faintly heard the sound of fighting and noise outside the hall.

He put down his pen and shouted out the door, "What's going on outside?" ”

Wang An hurriedly ran in from outside the palace, probably too nervous and a little unsteady in his footsteps, staggered to Nangong Mausoleum, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, it's not good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led someone into the palace, at this time, at this time, I'm afraid I'm going to enter the imperial study, Your Majesty, you better avoid it!" ”

As soon as Wang An's words fell, Ye Cheng rushed into the hall with some secret guards, clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has transferred a large number of elite soldiers from nowhere, and the palace has been heavily surrounded, Your Majesty, please leave with Weichen quickly!" ”

Nangong Ling was shocked and angry, he never thought that the son he had always valued would force the palace to rebel, and he was so angry that he directly waved all the folds on the table to the ground.

"This unfilial son who is rebellious, when did I treat him poorly, he dared to force the palace to rebel! This bastard thing! ”

Nangong Ling, who was carried away by anger, wanted to rush out immediately and chop his unfilial son alive, but was stopped by Ye Cheng.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to ensure your safety, the palace is afraid that it will not be able to hold it soon, you better leave with your ministers, and it is not too late to lead the army to attack the palace when you arrive at the camp in the western suburbs."

Nangong Ling suddenly woke up when he heard his words, and the figure of Qingyun immediately appeared in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "Quick, go to Fengluan Palace and take the queen away!" ”

Without waiting for Ye Cheng to react, Nangong Ling had already left the imperial study room and walked towards Fengluan Palace, encountering many chaotic troops along the way, but they all had a thrilling time.

At this time, the harem had already heard the wind, and they all shrank in the hall in fear and did not dare to run around, only Fengluan Palace was still calm.

When Nangong Ling rushed into Fengluan Palace, Qingyun was sitting in the inner hall unharmed and holding the two-year-old child Nangong Yu, and the noise outside woke up the sleeping Nangong Yu, who was crying at this time.

"Yao'er, leave with me!"

Nangong Ling grabbed Qingyun's hand and wanted to pull her away, but heard a commotion outside the door.

"Queen Mother! Queen Mother! Someone has entered the palace......"

Nangong Ling raised his eyes and looked, it turned out that some concubines who heard the news rushed into Fengluan Palace in a panic, and when they saw that the emperor was here, they seemed to have found the backbone, and they rushed to Nangong Mausoleum.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save your concubine!"

"Ahh

The eager pleading of the concubines was interrupted by a sharp and piercing woman's scream not far away, and the sound could make people look like how bloody and miserable the scene was just by listening to it, which made the concubines present shiver, and even the pleading and crying were much quieter.

Nangong Ling knew that the inner palace had fallen, and it was impossible to get out of the palace at this moment, so he had to take a group of concubines to hide in the secret room of Fengluan Palace.

This secret room was a place for Qingyun that Nangong Mausoleum had specially built for Qingyun in the past in order to prevent rebellion, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

Nangong Ling untied the tiger talisman in his waist and handed it to Ye Cheng, and said with a serious face: "Ye Cheng, I order you to find a way to escape from the palace no matter what, and take this tiger talisman to the nearest camp in the western suburbs to find Xu Zhongde to come to the rescue!" ”

"Yes! The minister must do his best to live up to his mission! Ye Cheng looked at death as if he were at home.

About half an hour after Ye Cheng left, the sound of swords colliding outside and the screams of the palace people gradually disappeared, and the world around them suddenly became quieter.

"Why isn't there any movement outside? Will? A timid concubine muttered quietly.

Qingyun glanced at her sideways, and the concubine immediately stopped, lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Your Majesty, it's not like the rebels have captured the inner palace when it's so quiet outside, isn't there reinforcements arriving?" Qingyun hugged Nangong Yu and looked at Nangong Ling and guessed.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, where are you?"

As soon as Qingyun's words fell, an anxious shout sounded outside the secret room of Fengluan Palace.

This voice was full of concern and worry, and there was no trace of the ferocity of the rebels, and the people in the secret room became excited.

"Isn't it that General Ye's reinforcements have arrived, and the rebels have been wiped out?"

"If that's the case, great!"

The concubines almost got carried away and wanted to jump, but this joy died down under the fluttering glance of Nangong Mausoleum.
