Chapter 236: Precarious

"The Emperor is wise,"

King Chen arched his hand, gritted his teeth when these four words were said,

"Don't be so polite, say, what did you inquire about during the two days you were hiding in Kyoto?"

These words made King Chen feel as if he couldn't hide anything, his face darkened a little, and he said bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you really want to kill me, the king wants to kill the ministers and have to die, I didn't bring back the princess who was close to him, and I smashed the matter of the two countries becoming in-laws, and lived up to your expectations, this reason is very sufficient, you just kill me in a dignified manner, why bother to make such a mystery, so that I can't eat well and sleep well."

Long Yuling's heart settled down when he heard this, and he turned his head and asked, "I haven't said anything like that, I don't have the heart to play with those twists and turns, and you tell me, where did you hear that I was going to kill you?" ”

"It's all the same thing in Kyoto, and it's all spread to the barracks, so if you've never had such a mind, how dare others say it. I dare to enter the palace today because I'm not afraid of death, it's just that this matter has nothing to do with Nina, you detain the princess of the Ross Kingdom privately, this matter spreads, the Ross Kingdom is afraid that it will be angry, and how can you block the mouths of the people every day?"

King Chen's words were all about the little princess of the Rus Kingdom, which made Long Yuling hook his lips with satisfaction, but he didn't miss it, turned around and asked: "There has never been a shortage of rumors in Kyoto, third brother, you haven't deceived me since you were a child, and you haven't fought for power and profit, I know that you are not an ambitious person, but"

Speaking of this, Long Yuling suddenly lengthened the end of the note, which made Long Yuchen's heart go up and down all of a sudden, and he almost anxiously asked the emperor where Nina was.

"But you have such affection for Nina, why don't you bring her back?"

Hearing this, King Chen didn't wait for the emperor's instructions to get up, and said a little bitterly: "I blame myself for this, I didn't confess to her, she is arrogant, and she seems to have known it for a long time, since she was on the road, she always guarded against me, and after the matter was resolved, she immediately ordered someone to send me out of the border of the Rus' country, and even when I left in the end, she didn't come to see me."

Long Yuling raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "It seems that you have known it for a long time?" ”

"Yes, although I don't know much about her, I still haven't changed many small habits, and I'm not stupid, she should have known it a long time ago."

"You love her?" Long Yuling asked very seriously when he said this, and Long Yuchen was startled, and his mind was full of the person's voice and smile at the moment, and he nodded bitterly.

"If you love her, you should bring it back, why should you leave it to her? And I have sent the most powerful secret guard to help you, and she has the name of harmony on her head, if you want to bring her back, her father and queen mother have no right to refuse, it is easy to bring her back, why did you come back alone? ”

"If you love her, you have to respect her, she chooses to stay in the country of Rus, stay in her hometown, I naturally can't force it, if you forcibly bring back a soulless shell, what's the fun?"

These words made Long Yuling's heart tremble, as if he was burning with these words somewhere in his heart, and turned his head very quickly, but heard Long Yuchen ask sharply: "Your Majesty, didn't you find her in the barracks?" Where are you holding her now? ”

Long Yuling's shaking of his head at this moment made Long Yuchen's heart even more unstable, took a step forward, and asked nervously: "Is it that she doesn't adapt to the rules of the palace and offends you?" ”

"No, I didn't find Nina at all, this is just a method that my Mo'er came up with to lure you into the palace," Long Yuling's originally cold expression softened by three points the moment he mentioned Mo'er, and he smashed his mouth aftertaste.

"Lie to me?" Long Yuchen tugged at Long Yuling's robe at this moment, and asked as if he didn't hear clearly,

"Who made you delay entering the palace, the battle situation in the Rus Kingdom, the cause of death of the general in the town, I am still waiting for your report?"

"What do you mean by that? What lured me into the palace? ”

"Literally, I didn't find Nina, don't you know if Nina will come back? Now you can tell me about the situation in the Rus' country, how many people our army has lost, the cause of the death of the general in the town, and the collapse of this negotiation with your relatives, you have to give a reason to come."

"Besides, there is such a thing as a royal marriage, you just respect her, and you will fulfill her willfulness, this reason can convince me, don't forget that I agreed to the marriage of you and your relatives before, everyone in the world knows, now this civil and military officials will not agree to your ridiculous reason, their old pedantic likes to play right and wrong the most, whether you want the prince's throne or not, but it is all hanging on the head of this princess,"

"But the glory and wealth, if it's gone, it's gone," King Chen's words were a little lost, and no one had been with him recently, which made him feel very lonely.

Later, the two people didn't know what they were babbling about, until it was completely dark and the time for dinner had passed, they came out of the imperial study and ordered: "Come here, take King Chen to rest in the Chonghua Palace."

Long Yuchen's face was as usual, but the emperor's face was not very good-looking, and the little eunuch who came forward was a little scared, and led King Chen down.

Long Yuling didn't come over tonight, I was a little bored and sat on the swing under the dark night, Ye Qing stood beside me, Xu saw that I was not very happy, and said comfortingly: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Since you came back, I have seen that you have not lost your soul."

I held the letter sent by the second lady in my hand, this few words of peace made me feel uneasy, this letter said that Long Yuling was indeed in front of me when I left the Nian family, in front of the Xiangye and the second lady, at the gate of the Nian Mansion ordered someone to build a ruyi long lock, I leaned weakly on the heavy red rope, and asked dumbly: "In the past month, Mo Yu has been sleeping in the firewood room?" ”

"Yes Niangniang, the weather has been getting colder recently, and he doesn't have a quilt, Rao is iron body is afraid that he is going to get sick, and I know that Niangniang, you don't want to see him, the little eunuchs in the palace are bullying him,"

As soon as I heard this, I raised my head and glanced at Ye Qing, the worry on this girl's face was very strong, I lowered my eyes clearly, and commanded in a dumb voice: "Call him to see me,"

Ye Qing usually went down directly after receiving the order, but today was different, he was about to leave but asked boldly: "What is Niangniang looking for him?" ”

I raised my eyebrows, and smiled so that her face turned red, and then I saw her squirm and retreat, and went to the firewood room.

When Ye Qing went to the firewood room, he happened to see Mo Yu practicing his sword, and immediately shouted,

"Mother looking for me?"

"Yes, Ink Guard, please come with me."

Mo Yu didn't think much about it, he thought that this lady had forgotten about him.

When Mo Yu came, I was adding spices to the incense burner, and when I saw him come in, I didn't raise my eyes and ordered, "You all go down."

It wasn't until Ye Qing closed the door that I looked up, this person seemed to have lost a little weight, although the whole person was thin but shining, he knelt down towards me,

","

"When you used to be a secret guard, in what name did the emperor send troops to guard my Nian Mansion? You know what? ”

He choked, his usual face became unsightly because of these words, but I could see his hesitation, watching him slump and spit carelessly add the last spoonful of spices to the incense burner, and then clapped his hands and said, "Didn't you plan to even lose your life before?" What are you waiting for now? ”

"My subordinates can fake what Niangniang said, but it doesn't mean that I can betray the emperor."

What he said at the moment made me squint, and I asked very darkly: "Then do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Changchun Palace now?" ”

When he heard this, he shook his head and said: "No, it has been more than a month since the day the emperor sent Niangniang into the palace, and I haven't seen any secret guards monitoring Changchun Palace." ”

These words made my heart skip a beat, and I remembered what he said to me in Changchun Palace at that time, after sending this person, he didn't plan to send anyone to spy on me.

I never thought that he would really do what he said like this, and immediately felt that he was a villain, and he also felt that he was worried about it too much, how could he harm my Nian family, when I thought of this, I said to Mo Yu with a slight relief: "From tomorrow, you will guard the gate of Changchun Palace, help the palace protect the traces, and you don't have to go to live in the firewood room anymore,"

Saying this, I picked up the letter from the second lady in my arms, and walked to the side of the candle that was burning cheerfully, and the tongue of fire struck the letter at once, leaving only some white ashes, so that when the wind blew, it was scattered.

"Yes, the subordinates retired,"

Mo Yu left, and I went to sleep, but I couldn't sleep a little, and I repeatedly turned around on the collapse.

Someone pushed the door in, it was already time at the moment, I was still asleep in a daze, but I vaguely heard the faint sound of someone turning over things, I opened my eyes, in the cold moonlight, I saw someone was flipping through my desk,

I got up very lightly, I attacked the past figure very quickly, but the person who came reacted quickly, and immediately pinched the hand I grabbed on his shoulder, and even pushed me aside vigorously, even if I was about to escape through the window.

"Want to run?"

I was ready to raise my foot to perform a light skill and chase after it, but my foot was too weak at the moment, and a feeling of weakness rose from my ankle, and I hammered my eyes with hatred, and shouted loudly: "Come on, catch the assassin,"

Because of this sentence, the first to react was Mo Yu, I went out, and when I saw him, I immediately followed the black shadow with a sword.

"Niangniang, are you alright, Niangniang?"

Ye Qing also came out at this moment, and even came with just a casual coat, looked at me carefully, and asked in a panic,
