"The rest of the people should also step down, this palace wants to talk to His Royal Highness Nine alone." Chen Shuxian waved her hand to the maids who were waiting around her.

"Yes, sissy." When the people heard this, they retreated.

Soon, there were only two people left in the hall, Nangong Yueze and Chen Shuxian.

Seeing that the hall was clean again, Chen Shuxian took Nangong Yueze's hand and sat down slowly on a chair, "Ze'er, you have been in a coma for three years, and the mother concubine is really scared." Chen Shuxian held her beloved son's palm and said while wiping her tears.

"Mother." Nangong Yueze's deep dark eyes stared at Chen Shuxian quietly, "Don't be sad, Erchen is not standing in front of you?" ”

"You are the only child of the mother, how can the mother not be sad, in the past three years, the mother concubine has been in torment every minute and every second......" Chen Shuxian said, her eyes turned red again, "Ze'er, the mother concubine has figured out a lot of things over the years, the mother concubine doesn't need you to be very good, and the mother concubine does not expect herself to be the queen, as long as you are good, the mother concubine will be satisfied." ”

"Mother concubine ......" Hearing Chen Shuxian's words, Nangong Yueze suddenly felt a trace of emotion in his heart, he remembered Luo Tianyue who was far away in Ziluan Palace, she and Chen Shuxian, one was the emperor and queen of the heavenly realm, and the other was the emperor and concubine of the mortal realm, but their tempers were very different.

"Queen Mother, if only you had half the gentleness of my mortal concubine." Nangong Yueze muttered in his heart.

Seeing Aiko's worried face, Chen Shuxian let go of his palm and asked with concern, "Ze'er, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Nangong Yueze came back to her senses, shook her head lightly, and said, "Mother, the son-in-law is fine." ”

"Really?" Chen Shuxian was still a little worried, "No, I'll let the imperial doctors come and show you in a while." ”

Nangong Yueze pursed her thin lips lightly, "Well, I listen to my mother." ”

Chen Shuxian nodded, and pulled Nangong Yueze to sit down beside her, "Ze'er, you don't know yet, in the past three years that you have been in a coma, a lot of things have happened in the imperial city. ”

"Huh? The mother concubine is afraid to come and hear it? Nangong Yueze looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Chen Shuxian sighed lightly and said slowly: "In the second year of your coma, your seventh brother was named the Prince of Yipin by your father, although he is not the prince now, but in the hearts of the ministers, he has long regarded him as a prince. ”

"Oh." When Nangong Yueze heard this, he didn't have much expression on his face, "Seventh Brother is far better than other brothers in all aspects, and there is nothing inappropriate to make him a prince." ”

"Having said that, but over the years, your seventh brother has always regarded our mother and son as a thorn in the side, your father is old, and the mother concubine is worried that once your seventh brother inherits the position of prince, it will inevitably target us everywhere, and when the time comes, we will ......"

Before Chen Shuxian finished speaking, she was interrupted by Nangong Yueze, "Mother don't worry, there are sons and daughters, and you will never let anyone hurt you." ”

When Chen Shuxian heard this, a relieved smile rose on the corner of her mouth, "My Ze'er has grown up and knows how to protect her mother, but she just ............" Speaking of this, Chen Shuxian's voice became a little hesitant, "Your seventh brother has always been gloomy, and the mother concubine is afraid that he will do whatever it takes to do something dangerous to you in order to get the throne."

"Don't worry, concubine, Nangong Jing can't inherit the throne ......" Nangong Yueze lightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said in a firm tone.

He remembered that before the nether realm, he had seen Nangong Jing's life record in the Si Ming Palace, although the previous life record that Nangong Jing had indeed inherited the throne, but with his arrival, the life of Nangong Jing and the people around him had changed, and the next person who sat on the world became a mystery.

Hearing this, Chen Shuxian frowned slightly, she thought that Nangong Yueze was just casually saying angry words, but looking at the serious look on his face, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"Ze'er, there is no basis for this, you just say it in front of your mother, but don't let your father and seventh brother hear it." Chen Shuxian reminded.

Nangong Yueze hooked her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, concubine, Erchen knows how to measure." ”

At this moment, the voice of the maid suddenly sounded outside the hall, "Your Majesty has arrived!" The Third Highness has arrived! ”

As soon as the words fell, the figures of Nangong Yongchang and Nangong Yichen appeared at the door of the hall.

"The concubine greets Your Majesty!"

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"

Chen Shuxian and Nangong Yueze saluted together.

"Lao Jiu, get up quickly, you just woke up, you don't have to make this big gift." Nangong Yongchang stepped forward and helped Nangong Yueze Dao.

"Thank you, Father." Nangong Yueze raised his eyes and glanced at Nangong Yongchang, then stood up.

"Ninth brother, it's been three years, you kid has finally woken up, let the third brother take a good look at you!" Nangong Yichen on the side stepped forward and grabbed Nangong Yueze's arm and looked at him carefully.

During the time when Nangong Yueze was in a coma, he would go to Liuyun Palace to visit his younger brother almost every once in a while, but he didn't expect that this would be three years.

Nangong Yueze smiled slightly, raised her hand and gently patted Nangong Yichen's shoulder, and said, "Thanks to the third brother's blessing, didn't I stand in front of you in a good manner?" ”

"You, you, you still haven't changed at all!" Nangong Yichen couldn't help but reach out and touch Nangong Yueze's forehead.

"Who said I haven't changed, I've grown taller again." Nangong Yueze said, and raised her eyebrows at Nangong Yichen.

Looking at his childlike movements, Nangong Yichen couldn't help but smile, "Yes, yes, you have not only grown taller, but also handsome." ”

Seeing that the brothers were so harmonious, Nangong Yongchang showed a relieved smile on his face, he beckoned to Nangong Yueze, and said, "Lao Jiu, come here." ”

"Father." Nangong Yueze came to Nangong Yongchang and bowed again.

"You've just recovered, get up." Nangong Yongchang smiled and said, "When I came here just now, I saw all the maids standing outside the hall, I guess, your mother and son must have been whispering a lot in the house again. ”

Nangong Yueze smiled, turned her eyes to look at Chen Shuxian, and replied, "Erchen hasn't seen his mother for three years, so naturally he has a lot to say to his mother." ”

"You have to thank your mother and concubine, in the past three years, she has barely closed her eyes because she is worried about you, and she doesn't know how many times she has run from the imperial city to the temple of the gods." Nangong Yong said earnestly, and as he spoke, his gaze fell on Chen Shuxian's slightly haggard face, and a touch of pity flashed in his deep pupils.

Nangong Yueze nodded, "Everything the mother concubine did to her son, the son will remember it, and she will definitely repay her mother in the future." ”

"Silly child, the mother concubine doesn't want you to repay anything, as long as you are safe, it is the mother's greatest wish." Chen Shuxian looked at Nangong Yueze dotingly, her eyes were full of love.

"Lao Jiu, now that you have woken up, do you have any plans next, do you continue to cultivate in Tianxin Academy, or?" Nangong Yongchang suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Nangong Yueze lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at Nangong Yongchang and said: "Father, of course Erchen has to continue to cultivate, in the past three years of coma, Erchen's cultivation has not made any progress, if you don't catch up quickly, I'm afraid that you will lag behind a few imperial brothers too much in the future, however, Erchen doesn't want to go to Tianxin Academy anymore, three years have passed, and the disciples of the same age as Erchen may have already surpassed Erchen too much, and Erchen doesn't want to let everyone see jokes." ”

Nangong Yongchang's brows frowned slightly, "I understand what you mean, but I heard your seventh brother say that you had already cultivated to become a Great Spirit Master three years ago, and this kind of cultivation is enough for you to participate in the assessment of the Purple Void Academy." ”

"What Great Spirit Master?" Nangong Yueze was stunned, and deliberately pretended to be at a loss, "Seventh Brother is too elevated to Erchen, if Erchen really cultivates to become a Great Spirit Master, he won't have to enter Tianxin Academy in the first place." ”

"What do you mean, is he mistaken?" Nangong Yongchang Fox said suspiciously.

"This ......" Nangong Yueze pretended to hesitate, "Erchen doesn't know where Seventh Brother heard the news, if you want to talk about cultivation, Erchen doesn't dare to hide from his father, before Erchen entered Tianxin Academy, he did secretly practice for a while, but it was all fancy fists and embroidered legs, and he couldn't get on the stage at all." ”

Nangong Yongchang nodded, "That being the case, then according to what you said, apart from Tianxin Academy, where else do you want to go?" ”

"The Purple Void Academy has always valued the strength of its disciples, and I'm afraid that Erchen will lose his chance with the Purple Void Academy this time." Nangong Yueze groaned while slowly speaking, "Father, why don't you go to the Lingxu Academy?" ”

"What do you say? You're going to the Spiritual Void Academy? Nangong Yongchang suddenly narrowed his eyes, "That academy has only been established for more than ten years, and the disciples in the academy are even more mixed, what can you learn there?" ”

"But according to Erchen's understanding, Zong Zhengheng, the dean of the Lingxu Academy, is already a second-order Lingzun, and if Erchen has the opportunity to cultivate by his side, it will not be a good thing." Nangong Yueze explained seriously.

When Nangong Yongchang heard this, he was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to Nangong Yueze's request, "Since it is your own decision, I will fulfill you, and when you cultivate and improve in the future, it is not too late to participate in the assessment of the Purple Void Academy." ”

"Yes, son-in-law Xie Father."

……

Half a day later, the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

After three years, Nangong Yueze and Si Qin returned here again.

Everything around has not changed, the only difference is that there seem to be a little more people here than before.

As soon as he entered the Hidden Moon Pavilion, Nangong Yueze saw Zong Zhengheng and Zong Yuan sparring swordsmanship by the pond, both of them were wearing cyan robes, and the long swords in their hands were flying, and every move was full of fierce killing aura.

The person who first discovered Nangong Yueze was Zong Yuan, and when he saw him, Zong Yuan hurriedly stopped fighting with Zong Zhengheng, put away his long sword, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted him, "Your Highness, are you back?" ”

"Two seniors, I seem to have disturbed your discussion." Nangong Yueze said with a smile.

"Whatever Your Highness said, we are happier than anything else that you can come back." Zong Yuan said.

Zong Zhengheng, who was not far away, also restrained the movements in his hand, walked in front of Nangong Yueze, and arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, you have finally woken up." ”

Nangong Yueze nodded, "Yes, I just woke up, so I wanted to come back to see you first." ”

"It's good that you're awake, Your Highness, don't you know, the imperial capital will send people to the Hidden Moon Pavilion almost every month to ask for an antidote to heal you, but the Soho girl told us not to worry about this matter, saying that you have your own arrangements, Your Highness, what kind of trouble are you doing?" Zong Zhengheng asked puzzled.
