Chapter 9: Outwitting the King

Walking along the path of the Imperial Garden, along the winding road, and around the palace's cumbersome pavilions, the South Palace sits in a simple but elegant water pavilion.

On the jade table, there is a game of black and white chess, at this moment there is a person sitting opposite, the elegant silhouette on the side is glowing with a jade-like warm luster, seeing Nangong Jue coming, but he did not get up, nor did he salute, but picked up the white son in his hand, slowly fell, and said: "The prince's move is ingenious." ”

Nangong smiled and sat on the seat made of white jade, raised his hand to dismiss the accompanying servants and maids, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, has Imperial Doctor Liu spoken so implicitly?"

"Changyin has forgotten the joy of Prince He's lifting the foot ban. ”

Nangong Jue picked up the sunspot and put it down neatly in the corner, Liu Changyin's face changed, and he didn't speak, but he saw Nangong Jue and said: "Don't Imperial Doctor Liu want to know what the content of the file sent by the prince Feiying in the Jinluan Palace?"

"Changyin will not ask about the file put by the prince, but I just hope that the prince can finally keep his promise and avenge the slaughter of the clan for Changyin. ”

"It's nature. ”

Liu Changyin slowly stood up, looked up at the situation around him, reached out and took out a closed bamboo book from the wide snow-white sleeves, and said lightly: "After ten days, the prince can leave the palace without knowing it, and when he falls, someone will take care of everything behind the prince, but the prince must return within ten days on this trip, otherwise he will ......."

"Otherwise, the royal brother will find out. Nangong Jue hooked the corners of his lips.

Liu Changyin did not stay for a long time, although the palace seems to be calm, but in fact, it is secretly treacherous, the most gloomy, and now what he has done is only to protect himself and walk on thin ice in this palace to go to the end.

After Liu Changyin left, Nangong Jue opened the bamboo book, and then his eyes lit up, and he quietly put the bamboo book into his sleeve, and went to Jinluan Hall to ask Nangong Yong for peace.

This time I went to ask for peace, it was nothing more than Nangong Yong read the simple dossier, and relieved Nangong Jue's foot ban in advance, as for the content of this dossier, Nangong Jue had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he stepped into the Jinluan Palace, his fingertips were facing each other, his face was cold, and he bowed to Nangong Yong.

"See Father. ”

"Okay, Ah Jue, in this private, the gentleman and the minister will be exempted from this vulgar courtesy. ”

Although Nangong Yong has entered old age and his temples are slightly white, his cold eyes are like swords, which is enough to make people feel the majesty from the emperor.

"Yes, Father. ”

Nangong Jue got up, saw the fold in Nangong Yong's hand, and couldn't help but say: "My father worries about state affairs every day, so don't take care of yourself." ”

"Ah Jue, this time I am grounded in you, I know that you have a grudge in your heart, but when you sit on this throne, you will understand that in fact, the emperor is the biggest prisoner in this palace. ”

Nangong Yong sighed deeply, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and seeing that Nangong was speechless, he said, "Do you know who handed the fold in Lone's hand?"

Nangong Yong looked at Nangong Jue, and saw that there was no trace of waves in his eyes, and he could only hear him calm and polite, "My father has a lot of reviews every day, how can my sons know." ”

"Perhaps, it must be the will of heaven, have you ever known why Lone didn't make your eldest brother the prince in the first place?"

After Nangong heard this, he raised his head to look at Nangong Yong, and then said, "No." ”

"According to the rules of Changyuan, when the eldest son of Ligu is the prince, but Jun'er is arrogant and domineering by nature, and he is not suitable for the prince, while you are good by nature and lack the prestige of the emperor, but Changyuan has been peaceful for a hundred years, and kindness is always better than Bahu to make the people healthy. ”

Nangong Yong walked to Nangong Jue's side with his hand, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and continued: "There is also the loneliness of your biological mother Xiao Guifei, who let her die unjustly, but in this backyard, it is far more complicated than the royal family, and the forces involved behind the concubine make it difficult for Gu to feel at ease, so he ......"

"The father doesn't need to mention the past, the son wants to come to the queen mother to know, and he will definitely understand his father's choice. ”

The memory of the original owner was not fully accepted by Nangong Jue, so he didn't remember the past clearly, if he let the old emperor recall the past, maybe he would be in prison if he showed his feet a little, and he couldn't extricate himself.

"Okay, you can think like this, it is enough to see that you have repented well in the past few months, listening to the servants of Longhua Palace, you were unwell some time ago, but you are unhappy all day long?"

"The father is worried, and the sons are just old diseases, and they don't get in the way......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the servants behind him come to tell him and whispered, "Your Highness, Your Highness has arrived." ”

After hearing this, Nangong Yong couldn't help but frown, obviously he didn't know what Nangong Jun meant by coming at this moment, but after all, it was His Royal Highness, his own flesh and blood, so he said: "Let him come in." ”

Nangong Jue retreated to the side, as far as his eyes went, but Nangong Jun, who was wearing a brocade robe, walked like the wind, and when a pair of long eyes fell on Nangong Jue's body, he was a little more ruthless, and then flashed, clasped his hands, and bowed to Nangong Yong, "See Father." ”

"Excuse me, why are you here this time?"

"Now I heard that my father and emperor have exempted the prince from the foot ban, and I came to offer my condolences. ”

"Your Highness has a heart, but since you want to condole, why do you want to go to this Jinluan Palace to condole, and it's not better to go to Longhua Hall in private?"

Nangong Yong snorted coldly, obviously not liking his eldest son, in this way, Nangong definitely knew why this prince was walking on thin ice in this palace, it turned out that Nangong Jun was not loved by the emperor, so that this prince suppressed him again, and it directly became the fuse.

"My father was angry, and my son just happened to have something important to do, and I heard that the prince was here, so I came. ”

"Brother Huang came here this time, isn't it because of General Ning?"

Nangong Jun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nangong Jue, and after a long pause, he said: "Yes, my father ...... the emperor."

"Father, in recent years, although Taiyuan and Changyuan have been at peace on the surface, they have been friends with Taihe, and it is inevitable that they will be afraid of accepting Changyuan. ”

Nangong never said anything, bowed his head and knelt on the ground, waiting for Nangong Yong's fall, but saw Nangong Yong hurriedly helping Nangong Jue, with a pleased smile on his face, "What you have done this time is very lonely, Taiyuan cultivation has always been mysterious, if you let Taiyuan return to my Changyuan's use, Changyuan will have no worries, what are you guilty of." ”

"However, Father Emperor, General Ning was chased and killed by an unknown killer on the way, and almost died, if it weren't for the Taiyuan disciples to save him, I think he would have been buried in Taiyuan now, and I asked Father Emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

After hearing this, Nangong Yong's face was solemn, and then he said angrily: "Who is so bold, after Gu finds out, he will definitely give General Ning justice." ”

Nangong Jun originally wanted to participate in Nangong Jue's book, who would have thought that this Nangong Jue had not seen such a heavy heart for several months, this was inevitably quite a big contrast, Nangong Jun couldn't help but glance at Nangong Jue, and then swallowed the words that had just arrived.
