Chapter 121: The Deceased
Nangong Manman's eyes widened in astonishment when she heard the emperor say her mother's name, as if she had seen something she couldn't believe.
"Nangong Feifeng is her mother-in-law. Ah San said lightly: "Could it be that the emperor and her mother have known each other for a long time?"
"Is her mother really Nangong Feifeng?" The emperor asked in great surprise: "Is she eighteen and a half years old this year?" The emperor trembled and pointed at Nangong Manman and said, "Are you eighteen and a half years old this year?
"How do you know my birthday?" Nangong Manman opened his eyes wide and stared at the Emperor of the Ninety-Five Emperor in front of him.
"Because you are my daughter!" the Emperor said shocking news at this time.
"How is that possible? How can you be my father?" Nangong Manman immediately rejected the emperor's words and said, "My mother told me that my father is long gone. ”
"I know that Feifeng still hasn't let go of me, and she still remembers a bad decision I made back then!" The emperor couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he said this, and then said: "If it weren't for this Jiangshan Sheji, I'm afraid we would have stayed and flown and played the world a long time ago." ”
"Child, for so many years, I have always regretted this incident, but I didn't want this country to fall into the hands of outsiders, so there was no way to leave your mother and take up this burden, I always wanted to wait for my country to stabilize, and then I will pick you up and return to the palace, and we will be reunited as a family. After the emperor finished speaking, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he stretched out his already trembling hands to take Nangong Manman's hand.
Nangong Manman withdrew her hands with a wince, and she looked at Ah San with teary eyes, as if Ah San was now her patron saint.
Nangong Manman saw the tearful emperor, she seemed to resist him a little, and she didn't know how to face this sudden father.
Nangong Manman hid behind Ah San, put his face behind Ah San, and no longer dared to look at the tearful emperor.
Ah San was also dizzy and confused by this sudden incident, he didn't know if he faced this matter, but the only thing he could do now was to hug Nangong Manman tightly, gently patted Manman's back, and said softly: "It's okay, Manman, the third brother will give you a top when the sky falls, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
"Third brother, let's go, I don't want to stay in this place anymore. Nangong Manman buried his tearful face in Ah San's arms, his hands trembled and hugged Ah San's waist tightly and said: "Since I remember the world, my mother told me that my father has long been dead and no longer in the world, how can a father who is an emperor suddenly appear now, my mind is in chaos now, I can't figure anything out, let's go!"
The emperor looked at Ah San with moist eyes and said, "Can you give me a chance to tell me about the matter between me and Nangong Feifeng?" After the emperor finished speaking, he walked to the chair next to his desk and sat down slowly, saying: "Actually, I sometimes don't sleep well, because the shadow of Nangong Feifeng has been haunting my eyes. ”
"Don't pretend here, after so many years, you know where my mother is, why don't you send someone to look for us. Nangong Manman couldn't stop crying after speaking.
"When I knew that your mother was the hall master of the world's number one killer organization 'Xiaoyue Hall', it was already after I ascended the throne, and I had sent several groups of people to look for you, but every time there was no news, I also knew that Nangong Feifeng would definitely kill these people I sent to find you!" The emperor said: " For the sake of your mother, I have not set up a queen until now, and the ministers have written about this matter I don't know how many times, and each time I have been prevaricated by various excuses, it is estimated that tomorrow morning, they will definitely write again to discuss the matter of the queen mother. ”
"Your Majesty, how did you get to know Manman's mother?" Ah San now wanted to know whether what the emperor said was true or false, and these were also things that Nangong Manman cared about.
"It's a long story. The emperor took a sip of tea and said: "Actually, I am not the prince, I am the sixth prince, I have a total of ten prince brothers, the third brother died inexplicably when he was seven years old, the eighth prince was also born five days ago, I don't know what kind of disease he was born of, died in swaddling clothes, and the ninth prince was twelve years old, smallpox, also died, there are only seven of us left, the eldest brother has been named the crown prince by his father back then, among the princes, I have the best relationship with the seventh prince, the eldest brother and the second brother are the best!"
"Some people say that in the next life, you must never be born in the emperor's family. Ah San said with emotion: "Your Majesty, you and the Seventh Prince are the youngest, and others will not be wary of you and the Seventh Prince." Ah Sanyi slapped his thigh and said, "Your Majesty, when I just arrived in the capital, the carriage of the Seventh Prince crashed my carriage!"
"Is there such a thing?" said the Emperor in astonishment, "The Seventh Prince has always been cautious, and it is impossible for him to recklessly crash your carriage." The emperor stroked his beard with his hand and said thoughtfully: "The Seventh Prince has always been too deep in the city, and he will not leave any handles and clues when doing things, this time it is really an accident?"
"Not necessarily, I know a senior in the rivers and lakes who warned me to be careful of the Seventh Prince. Ah San said seriously: "Your Majesty, maybe you also have to beware of the Seventh Prince." ”
"I was able to ascend to the throne at the beginning because of the great help of the Seven Princes, if it weren't for him, how could I have been on this throne. The emperor looked at Ah San intently and said, "Let's put down the matter of the Seventh Prince and don't talk about him, let's talk about Nangong Feifeng first." ”
"Okay, you can keep remembering. Ah San helped Nangong Manman to sit on the chair, and then looked at the enthusiastic emperor and said, "Ah San listens. ”
"Although the eldest prince became the crown prince, he was afraid that our other princes would take his crown prince, so he cultivated people everywhere and installed his own forces, so I know that the fifth prince who has been silent turned out to be a scheming master, he is silent on the surface, but in fact, his power has long been installed in every corner of the court. The emperor couldn't help but sigh and said: "People are really unscrupulous in order to compete for power and profit. ”
"That's right, because everyone knows that once you become the Ninety-Five, who is the only one in the world, who will compete with you?" Ah San let out a long sigh and said: "How many people in this position are desperate to get it, and how many people are also dead in this position." ”
"In fact, the position of this Ninety-Five Emperor is not as easy as imagined, such a big country needs you to deal with government affairs, if you are a little lazy, you will definitely be in a hurry, busy and happy!" The emperor looked at Ah San and Nangong Manman and said: "If you are not in her position, you will not seek your own government, I will sleep later than others every day, and every day the concerts from all over the country will fly over like snowflakes, and sometimes you have to see the early hours of the morning when you look at that concert, maybe you don't even have time to appreciate the dawn." ”
"Since you think it's so hard, why don't you come and look for us yourself, maybe it's just a wonderful excuse!" Nangong Manman said angrily: "You still can't leave your throne, you can't give up your throne." ”
"Silly boy, how can you say what you say!" the emperor said embarrassedly: "I was ordered to sit on this throne as a last resort. ”
"I don't listen, I want to go back to my mother-in-law and don't want to see you!" Nangong Manman said willfully: "All children's children are loved by their fathers, but I was a lonely child when I was a child!"
"I owe you mother and daughter, I will compensate you!" the emperor sighed and said, "Your temper and character are no different from your mother's, the same stubbornness!"
"You can't do it if you give up the throne, it's useless to say anything else!" Nangong Manman wiped the tears on his face with his hand, and then said: "My mother-in-law is not so easy to talk to!"
"I have considered this matter, but now I still don't feel at ease about handing over my country and mountains to someone I don't trust, and when I find someone I trust, I also have the idea of quitting the throne!" The emperor looked at Nangong Manman with his eyes and said: "When I separated from your mother, she was already pregnant at that time, and at that time it was the time when my country was in turmoil. ”
Ah San said in surprise: "Could it be that there are some unexpected people who want to seek power and misplace?"
"Yes, that was the case at the time. The emperor couldn't help but clench his hands and said nervously: "If it weren't for the Seventh Prince's rush to find me, my great rivers and mountains would have fallen into the hands of outsiders!"
"Okay, Your Majesty, tell me the story of your mother's relationship with Manman now!" Ah San patted Nangong Manman's back with his hand to calm her down.
"At that time, the prince was afraid that our other princes would rob him of his country, and set up many traps for our other princes everywhere, that year, our other princes were invited by the prince to his palace to drink, during the drinking, the prince proposed that everyone drink and compose poems, if anyone can't write poems, they must drink a few more glasses of wine. When the emperor said this, he couldn't help but look a little nervous, and he continued: "Our other princes don't know about this prince's plan. ”
"Could it be that he dared to kill people at his banquet?" Ah Sanhu asked suspiciously, "The prince can't be so stupid, right?"
"Of course he won't be so stupid, he is the smartest prince among our princes, he is scheming and too deep in the city. The emperor looked at Nangong Manman, who was teary-eyed, and said distressedly: "My father is not as bad as you imagined, and when you grow up, you will know your father's difficulties." ”
Nangong Manman turned his head and didn't look at the emperor, but still lay on Ah San's shoulder and cried softly.
The emperor was very depressed when he saw that Nangong Manman ignored him, thinking that he was a dignified ninety-five honor, but he was at a loss by a little girl.
Ah San also seemed to see the depression in the emperor's heart, he said in Nangong Manman's ear: "Manman, no matter what, as long as your mother recognizes him, he is your father, no matter what he does, this is something that no one can change, because blood is thicker than water, there is an inseparable blood relationship between you, you recognize him, he is also your father, you don't recognize him, he is also your father, this is fate, no one can change it." ”
Nangong Manman lowered his head and was speechless.
