Chapter 172: Save face for you

"Who said no, this morning, the peony princess beside His Majesty came to find her father and said, Your Majesty promised your brother that he would hold another wedding in southern Xinjiang, and this wedding was His Majesty's daughter-in-law to join the Zhennan Palace." King Zhennan said.

"I know about this, on the way back from southern Xinjiang, I received a handwritten letter from my brother, Your Majesty values my brother, this is to save face for my brother, over the years, our family has come to the door to propose marriage The threshold has been broken. But my brother didn't look at it, this invisibly offended many wealthy families, and there were not a few people who said my brother in private, because the power of the Zhennan Mansion did not dare to say these words on the surface, and His Majesty wanted to help my brother get this face back this time. Nalan Xingci thought for a while after speaking, and then said, "Father, my daughter has always had a doubt. When you brought your brother into the court, you said that you wanted to marry your brother, but after my brother came back, he didn't say a word about it, I learned from the mouth of Wuying, my brother was hit off the wall by a girl with a stone, and my brother said that he would not marry that girl, but for so many years, my brother never mentioned it, just looked at a stone from time to time in a daze, what is going on? ”

"That girl is Your Majesty, at that glance, Your Majesty was shocked by your brother, after the empress was in exile, your brother often went out, in fact, he was looking for her. Now there is also a lover who finally becomes a family, until yesterday's wedding, the father did not know that the stone was the marriage stone given by the Holy Ancestor to the empress. King Zhennan smiled after speaking.

"Ah, that's amazing." Nalan Xingci smiled.

"Are you talking about us?" Just as a few people were talking, a head poked out. Everyone looked at it, and it was Nalan Feng Ember who poked his head in with a thief smile on his face, followed by Nalan Xuyan with a naughty expression.

"Why are you here?" When King Zhennan saw it, he quickly got up.

Nalan Fengyan waved his hand: "The daughter-in-law is not allowed to visit her in-laws on the first day of passing through the door." Nalan Feng Ember smiled and toasted the tea, which shocked the hands of the Zhennan King and his wife.

"Brother, this early in the morning, where did you take Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for the congratulatory gifts in the imperial study, and neither of you will come for a long time. No, He Hanqi went to block it for you. Nalan Xingci said with a smile.

"Luo Jinli and Liu Xiyan's wedding is going to be held in Phoenix Villa, and I, as the sect master, can't go to see how the preparations are." Nalan Feng Ember smiled: "After the wedding of these two people, I will have another wedding with him, and it will be Xu Yan who will marry me." ”

"Your Majesty, you're going back again just now?!" Nalan Xingci's face was entangled.

"Yes, I have to go back, this wedding is not only to support the scene for Xuyan, but also to stabilize the forces in southern Xinjiang, the southern border is initially decided, some things must be done, Xuyan's Prince Xuannan also has to go to inspect it, the southern border is my reserve savings, this backyard can't catch fire." Also, there is one thing, I have to tell you, Chen Yeqian's family was suspected of betraying the country during the Wing Clan Rebellion, I didn't have my hands free to cook before, I had forgotten about it, but this Chen Yeqian was here without three hundred taels of silver, and sent a housekeeper to deliver a letter on the eve of Xuyan's canonization ceremony, which reminded me again, I know that this Chen Yeqian is the cousin of Aunt Xuyan, but on this matter of principle, I can't be soft, but I can be extralegal. ”

"Don't be gracious, you should be judged, you should be sentenced, you should be killed, you should be raided, there is no need to look at my face, her face is worthless in me." Nalan Xuyan pursed his lips.

"Huh?! I found that you hate this Chen Yeqian very much, I'm curious what happened to her? Nalan Feng Ember wondered. Just because she likes you? That's not your style. Nanjing likes you a lot, and I've never seen you so angry. ”

"Chen Yeqian shouldn't have touched her brother's scales." Nalan Xingci said.

"Reverse scales? What? Nalan Feng Ember said.

"Your Majesty, you are my brother's rebel scale." Nalan Xingci said: "Have you been molested by a few hooligans on the street in Southern Xinjiang?" ”

Nalan Feng Ember nodded: "There is such a thing, but it has been disposed of by your brother." ”

"Those hooligans were sent by Chen Yeqian, their purpose was not to belittle His Majesty, but to give His Majesty a trick, which was found out by his brother during the interrogation later, and Chen Yeqian wanted to use this method to force His Majesty to leave his brother. Then let you marry them. Nalan Xingci replied: "Chen Yeqian is scheming, but no matter what, he shouldn't touch the people that his brother cares about, and he can't rub any sand in his brother's eyes." What's more, it was Your Majesty who she wanted to move, and my brother was already very generous if he didn't ask Chen Ye Qianxing about his guilt at that time. ”

Nalan Feng Ember smiled dumbly after hearing this: "Give me Gu, what do you think, does this trick work for me, this is to provide nourishment for fat worms." ”

"Whether it's useful or not also touched my bottom line, so I peeled the skin and bone-of-those people, I didn't deal with Chen Yeqian, I left a thin noodle for my aunt, but she sent it to the door herself, it's really okay. Putting aside this matter, the matter of colluding with the Wing Clan is confirmed, the Wing Clan was destroyed, and some of them escaped, and when they were on the southern border, they sent a message to Chen Yeqian, and this small force has now become Chen Yeqian's disciple. Although it is hidden, paper can't contain fire. The pursuit of the Wing Clan was personally ordered by the empress to commit a crime against the wind at this time, which is to find death. Nalan Xuyan said.

"Chen Yeqian, I didn't notice this woman at first, I didn't expect to have this distraction, the right way can't go through, so the sword goes sideways, I'm afraid her connection with the Wing Clan is not recent." Nalan Feng Ember said.

"Yes, the first time I refused to marry, she began to contact the dust, at that time she had a connection with the Wing Clan, but she has been dormant all these years, and nothing has happened, so I just turned a blind eye, this time the Wing Clan was purged, and the defected group of people found her, the purpose was to rescue the imprisoned Du clan and get back the soul of the dust, as for her family, how many people were involved, my uncle was still investigating, and this time I held a wedding in the south and started to clean them up. As a subsidiary of my Zhennan Palace, he dares to do such a rebellious thing, which is a great rebellion. Nalan Xuyan said.

"Oh, I'm really relieved that I'll leave Nanjiang to you." Nalan Feng Ember smiled.

"These are not found out by Zhennan Wangfu, they are found out from the dark line of your Phoenix Villa in the south, and they are reported directly to me, this time Chen Yeqian's housekeeper entered Beijing, in fact, he came to investigate the truth, but he came with a team of twenty people, and only one housekeeper went back, and the rest were taken down by your lord Ge Shuye." Nalan Xuyan said.

"Why didn't I know about this?" Nalan Feng Ember wondered.

"Tianyou knows, he said that it is rare for you to be clean, and he will deal with such a thing, don't bother you, but the southern border still wants you to come forward to deter it." Nalan Xuyan said.

"It's worthy of being a person who has followed me for decades, this work efficiency is high, as for the southern side, you are the leader, and I, the emperor, are here to support you. On this trip to the south, I am your backing. Nalan Fengyan stretched out after speaking: "When Luo Jinli and Yan Xi's wedding is over, we will set off." ”

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, after the wedding of Luo Jinli and Liu Xiyan, Nalan Fengyan and his party went south again, this time to travel, first, to deter those forces in the south that have not stopped, second, to raise the prestige of Nalan Xuyan to a higher level, and third, to purge the remaining remnants of the wing clan in the south.

In fact, these three things are one thing after all, that is, to let the entire southern realm know that the emperor and queen Nalan Xuyan are the veritable rulers of the southern realm, and this ruler is no less ruthless than the empress. Provoking the empress may have a glimmer of life, but if you provoke the empress, it must be a dead end.

"For your kid, this girl almost moved the entire imperial capital to the south, look at the team, there is no end in sight for a hundred miles." Old man Xuanxue sat in the car and said with an apple in his mouth.

Nalan Xuyan looked humble and respectful, and kept nodding yes. And Nalan Fengyan, the initiator of this incident, pretended not to hear it.

Nalan Fengshen's southern tour this time was huge, and the emperor's majesty was fully displayed. When Emperor Luan drove into the southern border, the ministers and nobles of the entire southern border went out to greet him, and the huge plain was densely packed with people, and Nalan Feng Ember followed behind Nalan Xuyan under the attention of all the people, and entered the ancestral house of the Zhennan Palace.

Entering the Zhennan Palace, Nalan Feng Ember stayed in the inner courtyard, and the gate did not go out of the second door, no matter who came to visit, Nalan Xuyan was outside.

"Your Majesty, the people outside who want to greet you are almost lined up outside the city, why don't you see any of them." Nalan Xingci held his son in his arms and asked with a smile.

"No, I don't know what they're thinking, let Xu Yan deal with it, what you need to see, Xu Yan will naturally bring it back, and you don't need to see what you can't bring back. Xuanruo, you go and send the Holy Ancestor's Shang Fang Chopping Sword to Xu Yan, and you are going to pass on the decree, and the Holy Ancestor will give it personally. After Nalan Feng finished speaking, he climbed back into bed.

Nalan Hanyi on the side handed over a bottle of peach blossom brew: "This wine is almost gone, I have to go back and get you a few more bottles in the next few days." ”

Nalan Feng Ember grinned: "Or is my eldest brother spoiling me, hey, what about Queen Ning?" ”

"Ah, I was protected by the phoenix, and I went shopping with the Queen Mother and the Golden Mother." Nalan Han said.

"Hey, they're more chic than I am. I've been growing hair since I came to the South. Nalan Feng Ember wailed.

As he was talking, Nalan Xuyan and Nalan Ruohai walked in. "Your Majesty, Chen Yeqian's suspicion of harboring the Yi Clan has been clarified, and it is her and her two brothers who are involved in this matter. Now that the scum of the Wing Clan under her door has been controlled, Chen Yeqian and her two elder brothers have been imprisoned, as for what to do with them, please show your majesty. ”

"Those wing clans, the old rules, kill over the age of fourteen, abolish the skills at the age of fourteen, erase the memory, and give it to someone to raise, as for Chen Yeqian and her two brothers, you can watch it." Nalan Feng Ember said.

As he was talking, someone came in to spread the word, saying that Chen Yeqian knew that he was guilty of capital crimes and wanted to see the emperor and queen.

Nalan Xuyan hesitated for a moment, and looked at Nalan Feng Ember, as if he was a little disgusted.

Nalan Feng Ember smiled, stood up, and tugged at his dress: "Let's go, accompany you, this woman won't be willing to see you, it's better to let her die." ”

Nalan Xuyan nodded, asked someone to lead the way, and went to the prison.

In the prison, Nalan Feng Ember saw this beautiful girl again, at this moment she was a little haggard, her dress was covered with mud, and she completely lost the grace of the first meeting.

Nalan Feng Ember sighed, and with a slight wave of his hand, Chen Yeqian's body was swept by a streamer, and his body returned to its original beautiful appearance.

Chen Yeqian looked at it with some surprise, but she was stunned, the woman in front of her was more beautiful than the last time she saw her, it was a kind of beauty that was beyond the world, the beautiful face was with gentle compassion, the eyes were gentle but with perseverance, the imperial breath lingered all over her body, but with a free and easy and frank, the crown on her head flashed with colorful light, and the imperial brocade robe on her body supported her exquisite figure, which made her a woman obsessed, Chen Yeqian knew why she lost, such a woman, the existence of the Nine Heavens God, is obviously the supreme emperor, but with compassion and compassion, at the glance of her starry eyes, all the resentment in Chen Yeqian's heart is unwilling to turn into ashes, such a woman, how can she fight, such a woman, how can she compare, such a woman, no matter how she cultivates, it is difficult to reach one ten-thousandth of her. Chen Yeqian sighed, she didn't lose, but she didn't even have the chips to fight.

While she was still sighing, Nalan Xuyan spoke: "Why are you so troubled." ”

Chen Yeqian didn't answer, just shook her head with a wry smile.

Nalan Fengyan sighed and said slowly: "Ye Qian, it's not that Xu Yan doesn't look down on you, it's not that you're not good enough, it's just because I knew him earlier than you, when you didn't come to the world, the fate of the two of us was already doomed, and it hasn't changed over the years, do you know that fate is destined for three lives, Xu Yan was hit by my marriage stone back then, at that time it was destined for this life, the next life, the next life We are all husband and wife, Xu Yan once told you that he is not your lover, you are so smart, how could you not guess that he already has a love in his heart." Why are you persistent, the woman in the south only knows that Xu Yan Gongzi has a very high vision, but she doesn't know that it was my appearance that supported him, at that time, I was in the rivers and lakes, and I couldn't give him anything, so he let him carry the black pot for me for so many years. Ye Qian, I know that you took in the Wing Clan, and it was not your intention to contact the dust, you just wanted to find comfort for Xu Yan's estrangement from you. ”

Chen Yeqian looked up at Nalan Fengyan: "The last time I saw you, I only remembered that you were beautiful, and when I saw you again this time, I realized that there was no way to compare with you at all." I've heard all about it since he left the South, and my infatuation is not worth mentioning at all in the face of your affection, but rather ridiculous. Chen Yeqian turned around and bowed: "The empress has a life, colluding with the Wing Clan, killing without forgiveness, I have made a big mistake, and I am willing to die to apologize, but my two elder brothers were coerced by me, and I also ask Your Majesty to leave a glimmer of life for them, although the people have no regrets about their deaths." ”

Nalan Feng Ember looked at her and said, "Xu Yan, you decide." ”

Nalan Xuyan sighed: "This misunderstanding is what I owe you after all, it is true that you took in the Wing Clan, but it is also true that you have done something harmful, now that the misunderstanding has been solved, why should I take your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so I will give you the inner court staff to be punished for twenty years, and the fine will be confiscated ten thousand taels of silver, remember that you must do more good deeds in the future, and there will be another one decisive behead." ”

Chen Yeqian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and tears came out of the corners of her eyes: The inner court cane punishment, that is, this punishment is not allowed to be seen, and the inner court grandmother will be executed, which is to save her a great face. Chen Yeqian thanked the Holy Grace and was taken away.

Nalan Feng Ember and Nalan Xuyan returned to the mansion.
