Chapter Eighty-Six: Heartlessness
"Am I dreaming?" Old Madam Zhou squeezed Nie Xiaofan's hand.
"Grandmother, it's not a dream. It's true, it's true..."Nie Xiaofan's eyes also reddened.
"Yaoyao, are you still willing to come with me?" he stretched out his hand and asked affectionately again.
Even if we have gray hair, even if we are dying, I can still take you to wander if you want. It's like we've never missed it, like we're all young.
In a trance, Mrs. Zhou seemed to see that decades ago, the gentle and jade-like son stretched out his hand to her: "Yaoyao, come with me..."
"No..."Old Madam Zhou took a step back.
"Yaoyao..."
"Grandmother. Nie Xiaofan stepped forward to help the swaying old lady Zhou.
"Xiaofan, I can't go, I'm... I'm your grandmother," she said.
"I get it. Nie Xiaofan choked up: "But you are also my aunt and grandmother." ”
In addition to being the wife of the Zhou family, she is also the daughter of the Nie family, how can she be tied to death in the Zhou family for the rest of her life?
"I'll just ask you. Why didn't you come back then?"
Mr. Liu was stunned for a while: "Back then, they said that I had a demon barrier and wanted to get rid of the demon for me, so they set up an altar over there and tied me to the root of the wall... I thought you could save me if you came, and I called you there for the night..."
"Is that so?" Mrs. Zhou couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case..."
So that's how it was... She was never let down...
Old Madam Zhou was tired and leaned on Nie Xiaofan.
In an instant, Mrs. Zhou's three sons ran out. beckoned and carried the old mother back. The three men from Zhongnan have red eyes.
Mr. Liu said that he would follow him, and no one cared about him.
Poor people too. He said to the outside world that he had hired a doctor.
In fact, when the old lady woke up just now, everyone understood in their hearts that it was back to light. At this time, the old man returned to his seriously ill appearance.
Nie Xiaofan sighed, fortunately, at the last moment, he was with her.
Nie Xiaofan originally wanted to keep guarding Old Madam Zhou. But he didn't want the will to come to the palace, so he announced that Nie Xiaofan would enter the palace.
The tone of the eunuch was not good, and he didn't even open his mouth when Zhou Shaoyang came forward to ask what was going on.
Zhou Jiulang accompanied Nie Xiaofan into the palace, but was stopped outside the palace gate.
Nie Xiaofan went to the imperial study alone.
"The courtiers Nie participated in the emperor's meeting. When Nie Xiaofan saw the person wearing the golden dragon robe, he knew that this was the emperor, and he saluted according to the eunuch's teaching.
Over there, the third prince is also there. and several officials from the Honglu Temple standing sideways.
"I ask you, did you give the Biqing Sword to the Liao people without authorization in order to save your life?" It's not called Nie Xiaofan.
So that's what happened?
Nie Xiaofan lowered his head and looked at the third prince coldly.
This guy sold her?
"Yes!" Nie Xiaofan replied.
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Chengshun was furious: "Do you know that the Biqing Sword is a token of the Queen of Liao, and I entrust you to hand it over to the King of Liao." You hastily handed it over to a Liao national, and now that the Queen of Nanxian is to blame, do you know how to end it?"
Nie Xiaofan said: "The courtiers don't know. ”
"Although you are a woman, you should not be so greedy for life and afraid of death. Do you know that because of your greed for life and fear of death, it is likely to cause war between the two countries, causing countless deaths? ”
"Your Majesty. Can you tell the courtiers a few words?" Nie Xiaofan was cold.
"You say. ”
Nie Xiaofan knelt up straight: "The courtiers handed over the Biqing Sword to save their lives, but Your Majesty said that the courtiers were greedy for life and afraid of death." but the courtiers did not deny it. Please ask Your Majesty's prospective courtiers to ask the third prince a few questions. ”
The third prince felt very ashamed because he had denounced a woman, and the woman's husband had saved him, and he was quite restless at this time.
Emperor Chengshun said coldly: "You ask." ”
"Dare to ask Your Royal Highness, do you have an enmity with General Yelu?" Nie Xiaofan asked.
The third prince swallowed his saliva and said, "Because of his mistake, Princess Feiyan disappeared, and Gu did have a dispute with him. ”
"Then Third Highness, when you are in danger, do you think General Yelu will fight to save you, or will he watch you have an accident with a cold eye?" Nie Xiaofan asked coldly again.
"Even so, you can't give him the Biqing Sword. Lone told you about the benefits!" the third prince raised his voice.
Nie Xiaofan sneered, did this person forget, when General Yelu came, when he tried to buy off the killer with the Biqing Sword?
What about your integrity at that time?
"Your Majesty. The Assassins were ferocious, and our guards were killed and wounded. Although the courtiers are afraid of death, they are even more afraid that His Royal Highness, who is the prince, will have an accident. After all, the safety of His Royal Highness is the responsibility of the people of the Zhou family. If something happens to His Royal Highness, His Majesty will definitely anger his family. The courtiers did not want to implicate their families. ”
"You say that, although it is excusable, but it does not cover up the mistakes you have made. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't know that General Yelu and His Royal Highness are not just having a dispute. From Liao to Dasheng, the two had many disputes because of the speed of travel, because of the construction of the camp tent and other things. After General Yelu arrived in Dasheng in search of Princess Feiyan, His Royal Highness insulted him many times. Nie Xiaofan paused when he said this, glanced at the third prince, and continued: "On the night of our assassination, at the last moment, General Yelu rushed to the Biqing Sword, His Royal Highness was high-spirited, and naturally knew that the Biqing Sword could not be given out at will. But the courtiers knew that General Yelu had long hated His Highness to the bone, and if he didn't give him the Biqing Sword, he was afraid that he would join forces with the killers, kill people, and take the sword. ”
Nie Xiaofan said something and told the cause and effect all over the time.
"According to what you say, you are not only innocent, but also meritorious?" Emperor Chengshun looked at Nie Xiaofan expressionlessly.
"The courtiers are just stating the facts, whether they are meritorious or guilty, it is better for Your Majesty to decide. ”
There was silence in the study.
"Why does General Yelu want the Biqing Sword?"
"He was ordered to pick up Princess Feiyan and the Third Highness. But Princess Feiyan was gone. The three princes returned to the court. I guess I want to take something back, so that I won't be unable to make a difference. Nie Xiaofan said.
"I know that if you don't, chances are none of you will come back. Emperor Chengshun was silent: "But now Queen Nanxian is inquiring about this matter." Without the handwritten letter of the King of Liao, she did not believe that the Biqing Sword had reached the hands of the King of Liao. What do you think I should do?"
"The courtiers are willing to go and explain to Queen Nanxian. Nie Xiaofan said.
"I'm afraid she won't believe your explanation. In the distance, a cold voice came.
It was Zhou Qiaoqiao, and Nie Xiaofan heard it at once. Then she came to her, her gorgeous robe was long and stretched to the ground, and the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head was shining.
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at Nie Xiaofan expressionlessly, and Nie Xiaofan also looked at her.
"The queen has lost weight. Nie Xiaofan squeezed out a smile.
"Smack!" Zhou Qiaoqiao slapped Nie Xiaofan in the face.
