It didn't take long for the summons from the palace to come, and Aunt Zhao called it a carriage and drove until the east gate of the palace before getting off.

Walking in the majestic palace, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but think of her dead son again, and the hatred in her heart was a little difficult to hide.

However, she knew that she couldn't show it, in this palace, every move was the emperor's eyeliner and minions, if her eyes showed half of her unwillingness and hatred, I was afraid that if it was passed on to Emperor Nanzhao, she would make some conjectures and involve unnecessary disasters.

But in an instant, Aunt Zhao returned to her usual dignified demeanor, and her demeanor was not weaker than that of those women who had lived in the deep palace for a long time.

When he walked to the imperial study, Emperor Nanzhao was practicing calligraphy, his fat body supporting a round head, and the owner of this body was lowering his head and writing something seriously.

Seeing Aunt Zhao coming in, she didn't make a sound.

When Aunt Zhao saw this, she didn't bother, she stood silently in place, quietly looking at the man in front of her who was dressed in a yellow robe and had been calculating all his life.

He has long lost the handsomeness and elegance of his youth, and his more and more round belly and fat body show his superiority as an emperor, but on the contrary, time has corroded his body, but it has made him more and more aggressive, and the immersion of power has made him have the bearing of an emperor.

"Here we are." Emperor Nan Zhao slowly put down his pen and looked at the few words in his hand with satisfaction.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty." Aunt Zhao saluted and greeted her.

Emperor Nanzhao beckoned her to come over and see how her words were.

Aunt Zhao walked over and looked down, the black ink weaved four big characters, dominating the mountains and rivers.

The simple handwriting is sharp, not like his introverted personality on weekdays.

Aunt Zhao keenly felt the changes in the current situation from these handwritings, I am afraid that in the heart of the emperor in front of her, the general trend of the world no longer needs to be hidden, let alone he needs to prepare in secret, I am afraid that everything is waiting to be announced to the world and the dust has settled.

Aunt Zhao thought in her heart, it seems that her plan needs to be adjusted somewhat, and she must gain the deepest trust of the emperor in the shortest possible time.

"Your Majesty's words are far better than back then, less rounded, but become sharper, if the words of the past are the sword covered with dust, then today's words are the sword out of the sheath." Aunt Zhao spoke softly, although it was a compliment, but it did not appear flattering and hypocritical, which really made Emperor Nanzhao feel good.

"It's still your little mouth." Emperor Nanzhao opened his mouth with a smile and sat down again.

Seeing that he was going to start talking about business, Aunt Zhao glanced left and right, and then said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, according to the latest news obtained by the concubine, Beiliuhai and the green snake fought on the street yesterday, and Beiliuhai seemed to have taken the mask of the green snake, but unfortunately the dust was all over the sky at that time, and no one really looked at whether the mask of the green snake fell off." However, after this incident, Beiliuhai quickly sent a letter to Dachu. ”

Emperor Nanzhao narrowed his eyes, with a habitual smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Aunt Zhao just lowered her head and didn't look at the emperor's expression, but she said lightly in her heart, Beiliuyun, don't blame me for not helping you, I also have my own plans after all.

On that day, she thanked Bei Liuyun for saving Hong'er, and even let their mother and son see each other for the last time, and she hated Emperor Nanzhao in her heart, so she agreed to help Bei Liuyun again and again.

Not long ago, after Beiliuhai returned to Nanzhao, Beiliuyun wrote to her, asking her to help Beiliuhai gain the trust of Emperor Nanzhao.

Emperor Nanzhao is suspicious by nature, and it is definitely not easy to trust a person completely, although it is indeed possible to help him by himself, after all, Emperor Nanzhao also hopes to be able to return the Beiliuhai to his own banner.

However, as this period of time passed, she felt more and more that according to Emperor Nanzhao's cunning temperament, there must still be a backhand.

The sudden rise of Beiliuyun may not be able to defeat Emperor Nanzhao, who has been planning for decades, because in order to achieve her goal, she must make a decision, and at this moment, she can only sacrifice Beiliuhai.

"Then you send someone to keep an eye on him, to see what else he has done recently, and who he has dealings with, and if he finds anything, report it at any time." Emperor Nanzhao commanded.

Aunt Zhao nodded and didn't say anything more.

The emperor waved his hand and told her to step back first.

When the room was empty, Emperor Nanzhao sat alone for a long time, could it be that Chu Qingcheng had already begun to doubt his identity?

Emperor Nanzhao's face was not very good-looking, and he decided that he should go to the harem to make a trip.

Not long after, Emperor Nanzhao led people to a palace, and the gate of the palace was hung with several big characters in the Condensation Courtyard, which was not a small distance from the sleeping palace where the favored concubines were located.

Emperor Nanzhao walked all the way, it can be said that he had walked for more than half an hour, and he was already out of breath when he arrived.

However, Rao is like this, but Emperor Nanzhao has never taken a sedan chair, and seems to have some respect for the people inside.

The prince on the side bowed down and waited in front of the door, not daring to go beyond half a step, let alone open his mouth to persuade him.

Emperor Nanzhao pushed open the door alone and walked in.

The whole courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and until I entered the main hall, I didn't see a single servant.

Emperor Nanzhao seemed to be accustomed to this, but walked into a room with ease.

After the prince saw the emperor enter, he breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know who lived here, the location of the palace was remote, not to mention, even the decoration was not very good, he thought it was a concubine who had fallen out of favor at first, but the emperor would come several times a year in recent years, but unfortunately every time he was surprised, there was no news of the concubine's return to favor in the harem.

There are also some favored concubines in the harem who come to make trouble, but those women plan to enter the door, and many secret guards jump out everywhere, and they are directly splashed with blood!

But then again, although the decoration here is not good, and even sparsely populated, the food and clothing in the palace are all the best here, and there is never any slackness.

For example, what is eaten is not the leftovers that everyone imagines, but the soup that is more delicate than the queen's mother, weighed in crystal vessels, crystal clear. And the clothing fabric, before sending it to the queen mother to choose, will definitely be sent here first, such as the silver carbon used in winter, there is never a shortage of half a tael here.

If it is in the eyes of others, you must feel that the master here is very high-profile, so it has not become a thorn in the eyes of everyone in the harem.

But to everyone's surprise, the master here is very low-key, what he said just now, if he hadn't been with the emperor, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known about this matter at all.

knows that the identity of the people in this is noble, but the prince can't figure out who the people in this will be if he wants to break his brain.

But he only dared to guess by himself, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Over the years, he has not been able to know more information than knowing that it was a woman inside.

After Emperor Nanzhao pushed the door and walked in, he smelled a faint sandalwood in the room, which made people inexplicably calm, and the sound of wooden fish was peaceful and clean.

The house is simple and clean, without the so-called luxury and brightness of the harem, everything is a little old, the dark room is still a little damp, and the sun doesn't seem to like to care.

If there is a place that can still make people feel that the status of the people here is noble, it is only those things that are eaten and clothed, the cloth on the table and the cloth on the bed are all fine silk, the drinking utensils and the rouge jewelry for women are all gilded with luxurious gold edges.

The only maid saw Emperor Nan Zhao come in, and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Emperor Nan Zhao.

Emperor Nanzhao sat quietly and waited, while the woman in the middle was always quietly chanting Buddha.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer, and the master's Buddhist scriptures have only started soon." The maid kindly reminded.

Emperor Nan Zhao nodded, and did not urge, he knew her habits, and he would never stop if he didn't finish reciting the Buddhist scriptures, so many years, he had long been used to it.

The dignified emperor waited for half a pillar of incense before the sound of the wooden fish inside slowly stopped.

The woman did not come out immediately, but still knelt on the futon, and said through the curtain, "Speak." ”

Emperor Nanzhao stood up and arched his hand: "Recently, I heard that the green snake seems to be beginning to doubt his own background, and has even begun to inquire along the street, I am really a little relieved. ”

The woman spoke slowly, her voice was long and long: "There is nothing to worry about, I said, he was hit by the Heart Eating Gu, even if the Gu worm died, he would not recover his memory, the Heart Eating Gu ate the person's memory, and he could never recover it, unless he got the Colorful Wen Divine Lotus on Tiannan Mountain, slowly nourished the spirit, and re-woven his memory, he would remember the past." ”

Emperor Nanzhao's brows relaxed, he had heard some of this colorful Wen Shenlian, but this kind of thing, a rare thing, whether it really existed or not, even if it existed, it was not so easy to get.

"Your temperament is still so uneasy, since you already know that he won't remember the past, you don't need to worry anymore, as long as he can't keep a diary of the past, he will remember your life-saving grace every day, and he will never act like you." The woman spoke slowly, as if she had gone through the ups and downs of the world.

Emperor Nanzhao nodded, so that he could relax his mind.

Otherwise, the green snake is easy to kill and can't be killed, once he moves, it is likely to arouse the other party's vigilance, he is worried that the Beiliuhai will find something, so that the green snake remembers the past, so he will eagerly come to ask.

"Let's go if it's okay, I'm tired too." The woman's voice rang out again.

Emperor Nanzhao retreated and slowly withdrew from here.

At this moment, the Nanzhao military camp.

Ouyang Qiancheng was getting weaker and weaker day by day, his spirit was obviously not very good, and his face became pale.

At first, he only thought that this was a farce carefully planned by Beiliuyun to sow discord, but when he looked at the evidence, he found that many of them coincided with his private investigation, but in the end, the results that he had not investigated were also investigated, and even strictly confirmed.

Rumors spread in the army, and the people also talked about it, and for a while, people were panicked, and even Ouyang Qiancheng couldn't bear this blow.

In the past few days, he has not gone to Chu Luoyi's camp again, this incident has already made him anxious, and he is really attacking him from the heart.

He has been in a conspiracy since he was a child, and he has always been calm in the face of various opponents, even if he is defeated again and again, there are few things that can really shake his heart, but this time it is different, and it completely hits his soft underbelly.

made him no longer even care about pretending to be a holy and flawless prince, but from the initial suspicion to the current conviction.

At the moment, the main camp is in the tent.

Only Ouyang Qiancheng sat alone on the carpet next to the bed, holding a wine bottle in his hand, drinking every sip, he had not left the camp for a few days, and he no longer cared about the news of whether Beiliuyun sent troops to attack.

He just couldn't accept this too harsh truth.

If he is not the son of Emperor Nanzhao, nor is he the son of his own concubine, then who is he? Who the hell is he?

If he's not really a celestial nobleman at all, he's a big joke!

Since he was a child, he was determined to first support his family and country, then to avenge his mother, and then to the world and the country, but why did he do this, and what qualifications did he have to do this!

If his mother just regarded him as a thing to compete for favor, how stupid would he be to give up his love and avenge her for half his life!

If he is not of royal blood at all, how can this world have anything to do with it? What qualifications does he have to participate in the royal family's succession and sit on this half of the country.

If his mother was just an ordinary woman, and his father was just a commoner, why would he be involved in this ruthless and cold whirlpool of power, what should Emperor Nan Zhao, his beloved father, do with him!

Raise your hand and pour a sip of spirits, spicy hearts, spicy lungs, spicy sausages, and the internal organs are breathing fire.

Back then, after he found out some clues along the crossbow that assassinated him, he has always been suspicious, but unfortunately, his every move is actually in the eyes of Emperor Nanzhao, presumably the palace eve, midwife, and various clues he is looking for have already been another scam carefully arranged by Emperor Nanzhao for himself.

Looking back on this half of his life, it was a big joke, and God actually made such a big joke with him.

He thought he was avenging his mother, but in fact he was burdened with unwarranted hatred, which had nothing to do with him, but he became a tool in the hands of others, not only giving up the love in his heart, but also hurting countless people.

Yes, he is a tool, his mother uses him to compete for favor, and his father uses him to seize power, does his existence really have meaning?

Why? Why does he have to bear the hatred that does not belong to him, can't live happily like a simple child, why does he have to fight desperately for all this for others in the whirlpool of power, but he is dying and worrying about it.

Ouyang Qiancheng laughed at himself for being stupid, claiming to be smart, but stupid as a pig.

Lowering his eyes slightly, he couldn't help but think of when he was a child, Emperor Nanzhao invited famous teachers all over and over again, trained him over and over again, and taught him.

Those rattans that slapped on his body again and again, the bamboo boards that slapped on his palms again and again, as well as the ruthless eyes of Emperor Nanzhao and the tempering that never distressed.

He always thought that he loved himself too much and didn't want to be as incompetent as him one day, and he always thought that he wanted to avenge his mother too much, so he desperately hoped that he would become a talent and get involved in power earlier.

But now that I think about it, I'm really stupid.

In this day, what father would let his children stand barefoot in the cold winter for several days and nights.

There are also a few fathers who shake their hands when their children can't recite poems and texts, and a few fathers let him drink poisonous decoction again and again in order to make his children have deep internal strength.

"Hehe... Ouyang Qiancheng.. You're so stupid... Oh no.. You don't have the surname Ouyang... You only have one name, and it's a thousand cities... What should you have your last name? ”

Ouyang Qiancheng muttered to himself, a kind of despair enveloped in his body.

Chu Luoyi stood in front of the door for a while and finally didn't go in, and when anyone suddenly found that he had existed for more than twenty years, everything he did had no meaning, let alone the slightest value of existence, he would not easily cheer up.

Just like when she suddenly discovered that it was actually Emperor Nanzhao who really killed the Chu family, she looked back in a trance and found that she hated the wrong person, and everything was just a good show in the hands of others.

The fall of Ouyang Qiancheng caused Nanzhao's sergeants to scatter one after another, and at the same time, several generals were also seizing power one after another, and Nanzhao's situation took a sharp turn for the worse for a while.

And Beiliuyun's temperament has never changed, seeing that Nanzhao's military camp collapsed, and the deaths of Xiang Yu and Xia Ziqiong single-handedly destroyed Nanzhao's biggest barrier to contain Dachu.

Without the participation of the formation, and without Ouyang Qiancheng's calculations, these strong soldiers could no longer exert their original power.

On the other hand, Da Chu is angry and devouring tigers and wolves, and the anger and grievances that have been suppressed for half a year finally found a breakthrough at this time, and they immediately raised their knives one by one and killed them on the battlefield.

And several lieutenants of Nanzhao were not in line with the army, each with their own plans, and no one refused to send troops in a big way, wasting their troops in vain, and they all had small calculations, but for a time they all became the food in Beiliuyun's belly.

Emperor Nanzhao was far away in Tianshui, but he still quickly heard about the situation here, and he was immediately furious.

He asked Ouyang Qiancheng to lead the troops in order to contain Beiliuyun, but he didn't let him bring so many soldiers and horses to die!

It is true that Ouyang Qiancheng's reaction was really beyond Emperor Nanzhao's expectations, according to his guess, although Ouyang Qiancheng would have some doubts, he would definitely not be defeated so quickly, and even give up on himself.

Because of this incident, Emperor Nanzhao scolded Xiao Taiwei again, but had to change his plan again.

Here, Ouyang Qiancheng was holding up and wanted to cheer up, but there was still a little hope left in his heart.

After all, at this point, he has never seen Emperor Nanzhao, nor has he gotten a word from his mouth, but there is still a little bit of expectation in his heart, maybe, maybe all this is really just a conspiracy of Beiliuyun, but he happened to have insight into his previous suspicions, so as to make a big fuss, maybe, maybe all this is just a means to sow discord, but he is not determined well, and he fell into a scheme?

Suddenly, in his eyes, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, illustrious power, no longer mean anything in his heart.

He only hoped that he was the real Prince of Nanzhao, the real imperial heir.

At least, there was a reason for him to soak himself up.

In these few days and nights, the once coveted dragon chair, the hot power is not as important as a blood relative.

If all the rumors were true, he would have become a real loner, and the more than twenty years he had existed would have no meaning.

However, Emperor Nanzhao couldn't pay attention to so much.

When the news of Nanzhao's successive defeats came back, Emperor Nanzhao immediately made a decision.

The holy decree arrived at the Nanzhao military camp within a few days, Chu Luoyi and Xiao Liuzi stood aside, watching Ouyang Qiancheng, who was in a trance and his eyes were red, receiving the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said...."

Ouyang Qiancheng listened stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, laughing arrogantly, even a little crazy.

Chu Luoyi sighed lightly, stepped forward, took the holy decree, looked at Ouyang Qiancheng, who was kneeling on the ground in embarrassment, and said softly, "Get up." ”

"Luo'er.. Did you hear that? Did you hear that? "Ouyang Qiancheng no longer has the previous scenery and moonlight, only full of embarrassment and unwillingness.

This decree was not a consolation or a clear explanation, but accused Ouyang Qiancheng of leading his troops unfavorably, and ordered Ouyang Qiancheng to hand over the power of the troops in his hands, and handed over the command and dispatch of the Nanzhao army to General An Hu, who would arrive in three days, and he would lead the troops to fight against Beiliuyun.

Although things seem reasonable, after all, because of Ouyang Qiancheng recently, Nan Zhao has been losing battles, and he doesn't know how many cities he has lost one after another, how can Emperor Nan Zhao not be angry?

But when the incident happened and public opinion was all over the world, it was really worth pondering.

As soon as the news came out that Ouyang Qiancheng was not the emperor's son, Emperor Nanzhao was in a hurry to withdraw his military power, which inevitably seemed a bit self-defeating.

According to Ouyang Qiancheng's thoughts, he categorically guessed Emperor Nanzhao's thoughts.

Presumably, Emperor Nanzhao must have thought that now that the truth has been exposed, this blood relationship has been broken, if he does not take back the soldiers and horses in Ouyang Qiancheng's hands as soon as possible, he is afraid that he will cause chaos in the border area, establish himself as the king, and even become the second Beiliuyun.

In any case, this is what Emperor Nanzhao does not want to see, the early exposure of Ouyang Qiancheng's life experience has completely disrupted the plan he has been plotting since more than twenty years ago.

Now that he is divided into two worlds with Beiliuyun, he is categorically unwilling to hold Ouyang Qiancheng, who holds a large army, to estranged himself again.

However, since the estrangement has been born, his top priority is to take back the army in the hands of Ouyang Qiancheng, as long as he takes back the army in the hands of Ouyang Qiancheng, it will not be difficult to think about how to handle Ouyang Qiancheng at that time.

Therefore, Emperor Nanzhao will take advantage of the reason of defeat, and issue a holy decree day and night, wanting to take back the military power in his hands when the father and son have not completely turned their faces, you must know that once Ouyang Qiancheng regains his strength, he will definitely not be with him at that time, let alone become a tool in his hands again.

According to Emperor Nanzhao's temperament, how could he see Ouyang Qiancheng break away from Nanzhao with hundreds of thousands of troops and turn against him, so in the case of Zhaozhao in the world, he used such a holy decree to suppress Ouyang Qiancheng, if he disobeyed the decree, he would be complicit in rebellion, and Emperor Nanzhao would send a killer to solve him.

Ouyang Qiancheng raised his hand and grabbed Chu Luoyi's shirt, and his eyes revealed a hint of weakness and panic that Chu Luoyi had never seen before: "Luo'er.. Originally.. He's really not my father.. Ridiculous me for so many years.. It's ridiculous..."
