After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

Chu Ruoyan answered cheerfully.

"Your eldest sister-in-law's mother is ill, and she has gone to visit her with her two sons.

Your second sister-in-law and her two children also returned to her parents' home, saying that her sister's in-laws were sending betrothal gifts, so they went back to join in the fun.

If they knew you were home, they would probably rush back home immediately with joy.”

Nangong Yunxue nodded happily: "I have so many relatives, I feel so happy!

By the way, where is my second brother? Why can’t I see him? "

Nangong Honglie smiled and took over the conversation: "Your second brother, Nangong Yunzhan, was appointed as a border general by the emperor and is guarding the border.

A month and a half ago, he wrote back to say that he was doing well. "

"Where does Big Brother work?"

“He is the Minister of Personnel.

In order to accompany my father to look for you, I asked the emperor for a month's leave, and I will go back to work the day after tomorrow."

"That's great, both brothers are young and promising!"

Nangong Yunsheng went to the study to get the letter from Nangong Yunzhan and handed it to Nangong Yunxue.

After reading it carefully, Nangong Yunxue gently stroked the letter.

"My second brother has been stationed at the bitter and cold border for many years, and his only comfort is probably receiving letters from home.

Next time you write to him, remember to tell me. I also want to write a letter to my second brother."

Nangong Jiu, lying in Nangong Honglie's arms, kicked his legs hard and waved his arms.

This action did not attract Nangong Honglie's attention.

sudden.

The baby's voice once again entered Nangong Honglie's ears.

【It’s not too late to write a letter now.】

What's still too late?

Nangong Honglie pricked up his ears to listen to what was to come.

But after waiting for a long time, the baby voice did not come again.

He lowered his head and looked towards Nangong Jiu.

But I saw Nangong Jiu blowing bubbles, struggling with the red accessories on his body.

The little hands were waving wildly, as if trying to grab something, but the arms were a little out of control.

Just when Nangong Jiu was discouraged and ready to give up, Nangong Honglie took off his accessories and stuffed them into Nangong Jiu's little hands.

Deliberately mentioned Nangong Yunzhan again.

"Your second brother never liked studying since he was young. He followed his father to the battlefield when he was twelve years old. He earned his reputation as a general by himself.

There has been no fighting at the border recently, and the emperor intends to summon him back to the capital to report on his work."

As soon as the words fell, the baby voice started again.

[He is still going back to Beijing to report on his work. At the end of next month, my second uncle will be left at the border forever.]

[My second uncle was shot through the heart by an arrow from his most trusted deputy general. After his death, a letter to the enemy country was placed on his body. It was confirmed that the general's mansion was colluding with the enemy and treason.]

Nangong Honglie secretly clenched his fists.

After telling Nangong Yunxue to have a good rest, he called Nangong Yunsheng and hurried to the study.

An hour later, a top-secret letter was sent out of the city overnight and delivered to the border.

In the guest room, Nangong Yunxue patted Nangong Jiu gently, coaxing him to sleep.

Nangong Jiu smacked her lips and fell asleep.

The next day.

Royal study room.

"You said you found Xue'er?"

"Yes, I thank the emperor for his concern!"

Emperor Liu Jin of Dongling smiled and said, "I am happy for you. After so many years of searching, we are finally reunited.

Find a suitable opportunity to bring her into the palace and let me see what she looks like now."

Nangong Honglie nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I..."

Emperor Dong Ling stared at Nangong Honglie in confusion as he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

“What are you hesitating about?

In front of outsiders, we are the king and his subject; in private, we are close brothers who grew up together.

If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep me in suspense."

Nangong Honglie was waiting for these words. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter Nangong Yunxue has been wronged. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision."

"What are you doing? Get up and talk.

Xue'er was very close to me when she was a child, and I even hugged her several times.

I also believe in your character. If you say you have been wronged, then it must be true.

Xue'er has been wronged, and as an elder, I must make the decision for her."

Nangong Honglie kowtowed several times before standing up.

"Your Majesty, Xue'er was abducted. After she woke up, she was in Lijia Village, hundreds of miles away. She was adopted by the parents of the newly crowned top scholar Li Yulin. When she grew up, she married Li Yulin..."

Nangong Honglie embellished the details of Nangong Yunxue's escape and blocking the road to make the whole thing sound more reasonable.

After Nangong Honglie finished speaking, Emperor Dongling slammed the table and stood up.

"Okay, very good!

This forced a woman who was about to give birth to flee in the middle of the night to save her life.

How dare they do such a ruthless thing under my nose? In their eyes, do they still have the law? "

Emperor Dongling was so angry that he overturned the memorial on the jade table.

"Where is the secret guard?"

A man in black appeared and saluted: "Master!"

"Send a few people to secretly investigate the new Minister of Revenue, Li Yulin, and find evidence that he has clung to the Prime Minister's residence, forced his wife to divorce him, and openly committed murder.

Oh, by the way, let’s check carefully what he has done in the past few months since he took office.

"Yes!"

The man in black took the order and left.

Nangong Honglie bowed and thanked him.

"Your Majesty, Xue'er escaped in time and was not killed. That is why we do not have any evidence of their crime.

I have already asked the eldest brother to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to seek an explanation, hoping to alert them to the danger."

"That's right! They have something to hide, so they will definitely take some action. This is indeed an opportunity for us.

You go back first. Although they don't know that you have found Xue'er yet, it's better to be careful."

Nangong Honglie bowed, thanked him and left.

On the way back from the palace, Nangong Honglie felt a little dazed, as if there was an invisible net spreading towards the general's mansion.

Who did my Nangong family offend? Why did the other party want to destroy my Nangong family?

I entered the palace today with the intention of testing the waters. It seemed that the Emperor had some affection for me.

But according to Jiuer, I will soon be torn into pieces by five horses and my entire clan will be exterminated.

Could it be that the emperor, who has always been wise, could not see that the evidence of treason and treason was false?

Or is it because my Nangong family controls a large number of troops and the emperor is wary of us?

The emperor has never been a suspicious person!

What went wrong?

No, I have to ask Jiuer carefully when I get back, hoping to prevent any problems before they happen.

Thinking of Nangong Yunxue and her daughter, Nangong Honglie's uneasy mood calmed down a lot.

Prime Minister's House.

At the end of Chen time.

Nangong Yunsheng arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion on time.

Prime Minister Xue and Li Yulin, who had just returned home from court, were quite surprised to see Nangong Yunsheng.

"Master Nangong, how come you have time to come to the mansion?"

Nangong Yunsheng responded with a smile: "Prime Minister Xue, I'm here to see Lord Li."

"Looking for Yulin? Are you familiar with each other?"

"I guess so. We often interact in the course of my work. However, I came here today to talk to you about something personal."

When Prime Minister Xue heard Nangong Yunsheng say it was a private matter, he stood up tactfully.

"Then you two can talk for a while. Have dinner in the mansion before leaving."

Nangong Yunsheng bowed politely and thanked him.

People walk away.

Li Yulin acted like a host and said, "Brother Nangong, we are all colleagues, please be more casual."

Nangong Yunsheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and went straight to the point.

"Sir Li, you work in the Ministry of Revenue, so you must know how many people in the capital have the surname Nangong, right?"

"I haven't paid much attention to this aspect. What do you mean by asking this question, Brother Nangong?"

Nangong Yunsheng smiled but didn't.

"I just want to ask you, do you know Nangong Yunxue?"
