"Oh? What do you mean by that? Nangong Yongchang frowned and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, is it like this......" Si Qin was about to answer, but Nangong Yueze interrupted him first, "Si Qin, you don't need to talk about this little matter here, my father and all the ministers are here, don't you embarrass Seventh Brother when you talk about Seventh Brother at this time?" ”

Nangong Yueze's tone was full of warnings, as if hinting at Si Qin not to talk nonsense.

"But ......"

"Okay, nothing but that." Nangong Yueze said again.

Si Qin opened his lips, but he forced back the rest of his words.

Nangong Yongchang glanced at the two of them, "What kind of dumb riddle are you master and servant playing?" Si Qin, if you have anything to say, just say it. ”

Si Qin pursed his lips, his expression flickered with struggle, and after a while, he took a deep breath and said as if he was open-minded: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the humble position was originally to accompany the Ninth Highness to the Hidden Moon Pavilion to look for medicine, but as soon as he arrived in Yunhai Town, he encountered the Seventh Highness sending people to raid the Hidden Moon Pavilion, and the Ninth Highness was defenseless and was almost injured in the battle......"

"What? Is there such a thing?? Nangong Yongchang was suddenly startled, "Why did Lao Qi raid the Hidden Moon Pavilion?" ”

"This lowly position is not very clear......" Si Qin shook his head and continued, "The lowly position guesses that His Royal Highness the Seventh should also go to find an antidote, as for why he would use such an aggressive method, this lowly position will not dare to guess, it's just that this raid not only did not hurt the Hidden Moon Pavilion at all, but turned Yunhai Town upside down......

"This rebel is just too unusual!!" Nangong Yongchang said angrily.

Nangong Yueze lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, and then slowly looked up at Nangong Yongchang, and sighed: "Father is angry, Seventh Brother may just be in a hurry, so he will do this......"

"Hmph, don't speak for him." Nangong Yong said sharply, "You are his younger brother, you must be partial to him, how many ridiculous things has he done for his own selfish desires over the years?" I don't say it, it doesn't mean I don't know!! ”

Nangong Yueze lowered her eyes and said nothing.

At this time, an old minister suddenly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Seventh has always acted arrogantly and arrogantly, if you don't punish him, I am afraid that I will be even more unscrupulous in the future, according to the old minister's opinion, Your Majesty should immediately abolish the title of Prince of the Seventh Highness." ”

"Your Majesty!" Hearing the minister's words, Prime Minister Su Mingde immediately stood up, "Although His Royal Highness Seventh has an arrogant personality, he has fought everywhere over the years and made great contributions to the Nebula Empire. ”

"Prime Minister Su's words are inappropriate, if the Seventh Highness is allowed to act so recklessly, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of the Nebula Empire's royal family." When Su Mingde's words fell, the Imperial General who was standing opposite him also spoke.

"Father, the son also agrees with the words of the imperial general, the seventh brother is ambitious, and he supports the army and respects himself, if he is allowed to develop, and one day he really seeks power and usurps the throne, who present can stop him?" The third prince, Nangong Yichen, stood up and said loudly.

After listening to Nangong Yichen's words, Su Mingde's face suddenly changed, "The words of the Third Highness are too serious, the Seventh Highness is the son of His Majesty, how can he have the intention of rebellion??!! If you say such a thing in front of Your Majesty and all your ministers, you can afford to slander the heirs of the royal family!! ”

"Heh......" Nangong Yichen sneered, "Everything this hall says is true!" Prime Minister Su, this palace knows that you are close to the Seventh Prince in Su Ri, but this does not become a reason for you to shield him. ”

"You ......" Su Mingde was suddenly angry.

Hearing everyone's discussions, Nangong Yueze just lowered his eyes and said nothing, as if all the disputes and noises around him had nothing to do with him.

"Enough, don't fight anymore!!" At this moment, Nangong Yongchang on the throne suddenly drank everyone.

Hearing his scolding, the originally noisy court suddenly fell silent.

Nangong Yongchang looked around at everyone, and finally fell on Nangong Yueze's body, "Lao Jiu, come here." ”

Hearing Nangong Yongchang call himself, Nangong Yueze slowly got up and walked to his side, bowed and saluted, "What does my father command?" ”

Nangong Yongchang patted Nangong Yueze on the shoulder, then stood up, looked at the ministers and said: "The matter of the Seventh Prince will not be discussed today, when he comes back, I will ask him clearly, all the ministers are here today, and I have something else to announce." ”

Hearing Nangong Yongchang's words, everyone in the court held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen.

"The Nine Emperor Princes, Nangong Yueze, are smart and wise, dignified, loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and I am very comforted, from now on, the Nine Emperor Princes will be crowned as the prince of the Nebula Empire." Nangong Yongchang said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and everyone opened their eyes in a daze.

Su Mingde looked at Nangong Yongchang in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what he had just said, and after a while, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Emperor is only eighteen years old, and his qualifications are still young, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be qualified for the position of prince...... Please consider it carefully! ”

"That's it! I have made up my mind, and no one will say it again! Nangong Yongchang waved his hand and said.

Su Mingde was so blocked that he had nothing to say, so he could only glance at Nangong Yueze fiercely.

Nangong Yueze lowered her head slightly, hiding the sarcastic arc in her eyes.

This result seems to have been expected by him.

"Son-in-law, thank your father." Nangong Yueze said respectfully.

"Okay, today's morning dynasty is here, everyone disperse, Lao Jiu, you come to my dormitory at lunchtime, I have something to discuss with you." Nangong Yongchang said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Nangong Yueze replied.

……

Coming out of Zhaohua Palace, Si Qin followed closely behind Nangong Yueze all the way, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Nangong Yueze stopped and glanced at him lightly.

"Your Highness, your subordinates don't understand, why did the Dragon Emperor suddenly promote you to the title of prince today?" Si Qin asked puzzled.

Nangong Yueze hooked the corners of his lips and said casually: "He promoted me to the prince, nothing more than to use me to contain Nangong Jing, he knows better than anyone that Nangong Jing's power is uncontrollable, and his existence will threaten Nangong Yongchang's throne at any time, so he urgently needs someone to transfer Nangong Jing's target, and this person is me." ”

"So that's ......," Si Qin suddenly realized, "My subordinates thought that the Dragon Emperor was promoted to the title of prince because he loved His Royal Highness, but I didn't expect this to be the reason." ”

"If I guess correctly, Nangong Yongchang is actually very jealous of Nangong Jing in his heart." Nangong Yueze narrowed his eyes and said, "Nangong Jing not only controls the vast majority of military power, but there are countless people around him who work for him, Nangong Yichen is right, once Nangong Jing seeks power and usurps the throne, I am afraid that few people in the entire Nebula Empire can stop him." ”

"But no matter what, Your Highness is also a prince now, if Nangong Jing hears the news that you have been promoted, he will definitely be so angry that he vomits blood." Si Qin said excitedly, and when he thought of that picture, he couldn't help but snicker twice.

Hearing this, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of Nangong Yueze's mouth, "Hmph, speaking of which, he still has to thank me." ”

"Huh? What does Your Highness mean by this? Si Qin raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"There's one thing you don't know, I saw Nangong Jing's life record in Tianxin Pavilion before, if it weren't for my arrival, Nangong Jing would have been going to force the palace to kill the king." Nangong Yueze said slowly.

"What, forcing the palace to kill the king?" Si Qin was stunned for a moment.

"Well, although he succeeded in forcing the palace and inherited the throne, he died tragically at the hands of the enemy's siege rebels in the second year, and he couldn't even save his bones, you say, do you want to thank me for coming?" Nangong Yueze hooked his lips and sneered.

Hearing this, Si Qin was stunned for a few seconds, "This Nangong Jing is really cold-blooded, and he didn't even let go of his own biological father!" ”

"He's the kind of person who is completely inhuman." Nangong Yueze shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and continued to raise his feet and walk forward, "By the way, Si Qin, you should pay more attention to the ministers who accused Nangong Jing in public in the court today, I am afraid that Nangong Jing will be unfavorable to them after knowing about this matter." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates understand."

……

Qingyang City, the mansion of the lord of Qingyang City.

Approaching noon, Nangong Jing woke up slowly.

"Your Highness, how do you feel?" Seeing this, Li Yangming hurriedly stepped up and asked.

"Well, it's better than last night." Nangong Jing nodded.

Last night, Li Yangming gave him a healing pill, which made his injuries better.

Seeing that he was a little more energetic, Li Yangming put on the prepared clothes for him again, and after finishing everything, he came to Nangong Jing and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there is something that the last general doesn't know whether to tell you or not." ”

"What's the matter?" Nangong Jing asked casually.

"There is news from the Prime Minister's Mansion that Nangong Yueze appeared in Zhaohua Palace this morning." Li Yangming cautiously observed Nangong Jing's expression and replied cautiously.

Hearing the other party mention Nangong Yueze, Nangong Jing sat up suddenly, "He was still in the Purple Void Academy last night, why did he go back to the imperial city this morning?" Also, What did he do in Zhaohua Palace? ”

"He went to Your Majesty and said that he had found an antidote to save Concubine Ning, which was originally nothing, but his personal guards were too talkative and told us about our raid on the Hidden Moon Pavilion, Your Majesty was furious when he heard this, and several ministers even took advantage of the fire to rob and instigate Your Majesty to abolish your prince's title." Li Yangming sighed and said with a depressed face.

"They're falling into !! well" Nangong Jing roared angrily, his fists clenched tightly, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently.

"Although the prime minister tried his best to speak for you, His Majesty finally promoted him to the title of prince in order to appease Nangong Yueze...... Li Yangming continued.

"What!!" After hearing this, Nangong Jing's chest was full of resentment and grievance, and a fishy sweetness suddenly surged up his throat, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a snort.

"Your Highness!" Li Yangming was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold his arm.

"I'm not convinced! How virtuous is he, and why was he promoted to the title of prince??!! Nangong Jing flipped over the table and chair beside him and roared with a hideous face.

Looking at Nangong Jing, whose face was distorted and his eyes were scarlet, Li Yangming frowned secretly.

has been by Nangong Jing's side for so long, and it is the first time Li Yangming has seen him lose his temper so much!

Nangong Jing has always been proud, and this time Nangong Yueze's promotion was tantamount to slapping him hard and making him lose face.
