The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Marquis Nangong Su took the lead. He knelt down without any hesitation when he received the order.

Behind him was the old marquis' wife.

The old marquis's wife looked a little ugly.

That boy had to kneel down, but she had to kneel down too. She had been tormented badly by what happened two days ago, and now she still felt shaky.

But she didn't dare to complain, because those were the words of the emperor. She could only kneel down slowly with the help of a maid and Nangong Jiao.

Xie Qingrou and Gu Ruoxi were actually standing behind her, watching her slowly kneel down, but no one reached out to help her up.

Nangong Yu was also carried and placed next to Xie Qingrou and Gu Ruoxi.

Nangong Xuan came here with his hands tied with white cloth and was supported by someone. He smelled of medicine and had a look of resentment on his face.

Eunuch Wang saw everything and took out the imperial edict and began to read it:

"The Emperor has ordered..."

Gu Ruoxi was confused after receiving the imperial edict. It's not true that she didn't understand a single word. At least, she understood that the three words "Nangong Yu" appeared several times. But she didn't understand the rest.

Just because she didn’t understand doesn’t mean others didn’t understand.

With an imperial decree coming down, Nangong Yu's position as the crown prince was confirmed.

The emperor agreed to the memorial to withdraw Nangong Yu's position as Crown Prince.

Nangong Su heard it and still frowned.

He understood what his son said and what he was thinking, but he felt very uncomfortable when he heard that this house would no longer be a marquisate after his death.

It was as if everything was destroyed in his own hands.

Understanding this truth is one thing, but he always thought that the emperor and his son had feelings for each other, and he was afraid that he would not agree to his son's memorial.

But no, the emperor agreed.

Xie Qingrou and Nangong Yu naturally didn't show any change in expression.

Nangong Xuan's expression became a little ugly.

When he had quarreled with his father before, he heard his father say that there would be no more Marquis' Mansion in the future. At that time, he thought that his father was angry with him, so he said and did that.

But I didn't expect that it was really gone. The imperial edict just now clearly stated that Marquis Changyong was a third-generation marquis.

Then, what's the point of all my efforts? The position I've always wanted to fight for was ignored by others, so I submitted a letter of resignation. And it also brought up the idea of ​​the third generation of marquis.

Nangong Xuan glared at Nangong Yu with eyes that seemed to want to swallow him. He thought that even if Nangong Yu refused to be a good prince, he would not let him be. He also made Chang Yonghou lose his title from then on. It was all Nangong Yu's fault. Why didn't he just die!

"No more? No more in the Marquis' Mansion?"

When the old marquis's wife came out and heard that she was going to receive an imperial edict, she looked at Xie Qingrou with vicious eyes.

She hoped that the Zhu families had helped her vent her anger, so she alarmed the emperor. Now the emperor has issued an order to help her vent her anger.

When she heard that Nangong Yu would no longer be the crown prince, she was ecstatic. Now that he had passed the emperor's orders, he could no longer be the crown prince.

But when she heard that the entire Marquis' Mansion had disappeared after Nangong Su's life, the old Marquis's wife didn't even get up, but just fell to the ground.

It was good that she lay down, and Eunuch Wang slowly took out another imperial edict from his arms:

"Nangong Yu accepted the order."

Everyone who had stood up had to kneel down again.

Unexpectedly, there was another imperial edict, this time it was only for Nangong Yu. The emperor directly appointed Nangong Yu as an imperial inspector, who could inspect all officials in the dynasty on behalf of the emperor.

Moreover, Nangong Yu was directly promoted from a small sixth-rank position to a third-rank position. In this way, although there were still some first- and second-rank officials who were higher than him, he was an inspector on behalf of the emperor.

Suddenly, the popularity this position brought to Nangong Yu far outweighed the fact that he was the eldest son of Nangong Marquis's mansion.

This imperial edict not only surprised other people, but even Nangong Yu didn't know about it.

After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Wang smiled and handed it to Nangong Yu:

"Master Nangong, from now on, you will be the inspector on behalf of the heaven."

Nangong Yu looked at Eunuch Wang in surprise:

"Eunuch Wang, this...?"

Eunuch Wang smiled and said:

"This is what the emperor decided after he summoned Prime Minister Liu and Grand Secretary Xie to discuss it. With this imperial decree, it should be easier for you to investigate the dam and dike construction next."

Nangong Yu heard that his uncle was also involved, which meant that his uncle agreed? Of course, if his uncle didn't agree, this imperial decree would not be passed on to him.

Nangong Yu frowned slightly. This seemed to be somewhat different from the direction he had discussed with the emperor.

But there is also an advantage, that is, although he no longer has the title of the prince, he is still a third-rank official. This is also a good thing for protecting his mother and wife.

Qingfeng presented Eunuch Wang with a light purse. The more he presented it, the more Eunuch Wang smiled. Generally speaking, a light purse meant that the things inside might be silver bills, which were more valuable.

There were indeed two hundred taels of silver notes in it. Originally, there were only one hundred taels in it, but later when another decree was issued, Xie Qingrou asked her to prepare one more silver note.

Eunuch Wang naturally expressed his gratitude. Others might not have noticed it, but he knew that the Xie family would become the most powerful family in the capital in the future.

As soon as Eunuch Wang left, the Marquis Changyong's mansion fell into chaos.

Nangong Xuan’s face turned pale, and he stood up with an expression that seemed a little strange, staggering towards his yard.

Nangong Su looked at him with both hands hanging in front of his chest, and couldn't help but call out with concern:

"Xuan'er!"

Unexpectedly, Nangong Xuan turned around and yelled viciously:

"Don't call me, you don't have a son like me. You hid it really well, you guys, haha, you only coaxed my mother into running the household for you, what did she get? She didn't want the title of the crown prince, but she could become a third-rank official the next day, that's your son, you have planned everything for your son. Look at my mother, she is now beaten by that vicious woman and can't even sit up."

Then he stared at Nangong Su again:

"Look at me. You cut off my hand, and my other hand was injured by someone, but you didn't dare to say a word. Xuan'er, Xuan'er, is it any use for you to scream? Just because you screamed at me twice, it means you care about me? How funny!"

Nangong Su was angered by his son's words.

Nangong Jiao also looked at Xie Qingrou and Gu Ruoxi with hatred. Especially when she looked at Gu Ruoxi, it seemed as if she wanted to tear her apart.

However, Gu Ruoxi's focus was not here. She was thinking about what an Inspector General was.

Literally, it means to go around and have a look?

But knowing clearly that Nangong Yu’s legs are not in good condition, why do you still want him to walk around?

Xie Qingrou calmly asked the servants to carry the old lady back to the backyard, and had the incense burner and other things removed.

He ignored the look in Nangong Su's eyes and leisurely returned to the inner residence with Gu Ruoxi.
