Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Knowing how warm and cold drinking water is

Royal Physician Wang: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the minister diagnosed Dagong as a relapse of watery disease in his body. This disease has been a long time coming. This time the attack is fierce. I'm afraid..."

Nangong Jingnv was stunned for a moment, her face was three points paler than before, her raised hand stopped in mid-air to grab the imperial doctor's arm, she was no longer the princess who could show weakness in the past, but trembling The voice is not deceiving.

Nangong Jingnu: "Save her, I... want her to live, no matter what method you use, you can just ask for any medicine you need." Even if it needs to overwhelm the sea, Qi Yan... Agula must survive.

Royal Physician Wang: "Your Majesty misunderstood. It is not difficult to wake up the palace with the medical skills of the old minister and the medicinal materials treasured by the Imperial Hospital. It's just... water is cold, and lungs are gold. Gold produces water... endless life, all lungs Among the diseases, the fire disease is the most harmful, and the water disease is the most difficult."

Nangong Jingnu: "What will happen?"

Physician Wang looked distressed, and said cautiously: "Yi old minister... this old minister dares to say that even if Dagong can be rescued, he will be accompanied by decoction and medicine for the rest of his life, and he needs to be nourished and recuperated from time to time. The water syndrome has already accumulated. It's been too long, and there's no way to cure it." Speaking of this, Royal Doctor Wang sighed, although he doubted Qi Yan's identity, but the doctor's parents thought, if Qi Yan's watery disease was treated early, how could the care be so good?

In the past, Qi Yan's responsible medical officer was always Ding You. After that, Wang Yuyi also looked at Qi Yan's previous pulse cases, and found that Ding You secretly prescribed some medicines to restrain water syndrome. The prescriptions were very ingenious. Those who don't know about Fang Zi's disease can't see any clues at all. It can be seen that Ding You has put his mind to it.

But the problem is that the medicinal properties of these herbs are not strong, they can only restrain and delay, and after so many years, they are only maintaining the status quo...

But Royal Physician Wang dared not mention these words to Nangong Jingnv, otherwise it would be the responsibility of the Imperial Hospital.

He could only blame himself secretly. If the right medicine had been prescribed earlier, perhaps the situation would not have been so serious.

Nangong Jingnv breathed a sigh of relief, her complexion paled, although her heart ached, but at least Qi Yan's life was safe, natural materials, earthly treasures, delicacies of mountains and seas, what's there?Can't the huge Wei country support a Qi Yan?

Nangong Jingnv asked anxiously again: "Will this disease...will affect her lifespan?"

Physician Wang stroked his beard: "With the medical skills of the veteran...and with the dedicated care of Omiya, judging from Omiya's physical condition, it is not difficult to live a normal life, but..."

Nangong Jingnv's newly brightened heart was hit by the "but" at the end, she frowned slightly, and her tone was slightly sullen: "Say everything once, don't procrastinate."

Royal Physician Wang: "Yes, yes. It's just... Even if you are extremely careful, there is still a possibility of recurrence of the water syndrome. Shi Caichen also said... Yin and Yang and the five elements are mutually generated and restrained, metal generates water, and life is endless. So in the days to come In Li, water syndrome will afflict Omiya from time to time, coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dizziness are the most common. Yin and Yang in the human body rely on one breath and one breath to circulate around the sky, and breathing is not smooth... There will be other problems , the mind will not be as clear as it used to be, and will become forgetful, and in terms of literary talent...slowly, it will not be as good as before."

Nangong Jingnv reacted for a while, and said angrily: "You mean this water syndrome may affect Yuan Jun's mind?"

Seeing Royal Physician Wang nodding, Nangong Jingnv's heart felt like a knife was being twisted, and she couldn't even breathe smoothly.

She turned her head to look at Qi Yan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. Such a result is definitely unacceptable to this person. Looking at Dawei's founding of the country, including the previous dynasty, there are only a handful of high school students with dual yuan and one flower.

She was originally from a foreign race, and she only started to learn to speak and write when she was eight years old. I want to know how much hard work and sweat she has put in to achieve what she is today. How can Qi Yan let go of the falling hydration, and now she wants to take away her most proud talent?

Nangong Jingnv couldn't help recalling the bits and pieces of the past with Qi Yan, and all that flashed in her mind was her dazzling appearance of strategizing and a genius.

Could it be that these...will not exist anymore?

Nangong Jingnv didn't care whether Qi Yan still had the same demeanor, even if she became stupid from then on, she would never dislike her again, in this life...

Thinking of this, Nangong Jingnv's heart skipped a beat again, this person...is a woman!

What are you thinking?This person is obviously a woman, why did the two women come to this life...

Then, Nangong Jingnv thought of her second sister again, and thought of her happy look with bright eyes and a smile on her mouth when she talked about Xiaodie, she fell silent.

Nangong Jingnv stared at Qi Yan intently, she didn't even hear the voice of Royal Doctor Wang leaving to decoct the medicine.

She is still her, with the same eyebrows, the same figure, the same outline, the old scar on the left cheek has faded a lot, and she is still the same handsome.

She who was sleeping soundly was extremely quiet, exuding a softness that men don't have.

It turns out...she has always been her, and it's just me who is blind.

Nangong Jingnv looked at Qi Yan's chest again, she had seen the burns on her chest, it was this flat chest that completely fooled her, Nangong Jingnv's heart skipped a beat, she remembered what Qi Yan said: In order to restrain women The characteristics of the poison had been taken, and then asked: "Aside from this hydrosis, does she have any other problems with her body?"

There was no answer, and it turned out that Royal Physician Wang was no longer in the hall.

Nangong Jingnv thought for a while: This matter is related to Qi Yan's identity, it's better not to let the people in the inner court find out. When the situation in Huainan settles down, she will release an imperial list and find an expert for Qi Yan among the people. Before entering the palace for recuperation, the water syndrome should be treated well.

I don't know how long Qi Yan slept before, but after Nangong Jingnv found out, she slept for two days and two nights, Huainan's battle reports came one after another.

The six ministers and Zhongshu ordered Xing Jingfu to discuss according to the state of the treasury, and believed that if the imperial court was unable to go to war, His Majesty the Empress should issue an imperial edict as soon as possible to appease the mob, reduce the losses of the people, and prevent the mob from further expanding and endangering the court and society. .

Nangong Jingnv asked Nangong Jingnv to accept all the excerpts, but kept silent.In the past two days, Nangong Jing took care of Qi Yan in a perplexed way, and simply ordered people to carry all the imperial cases from the imperial study to Chengchao Palace, and put them in the main hall to handle court affairs.

However, in two days, Huainan's battle report was not very optimistic. Huainan was about ten days away from here, and the actual situation might be even worse than what was reported in the report.

But Nangong Jingnv held back a lot of energy in her heart, and she was very resistant to promulgating the edict of guilt. Xing Jingfu saw through Nangong Jingnv's mind, and took the initiative to enter the palace to face the saint, and persuaded: the superior should have the tolerance of the world, and be patient. What the world can't bear, bear the burden that the world can't bear.The old minister knows that His Majesty is working hard to govern and love the people, but...

After Nangong Jingnu heard what Xing Jingfu said, her heart became more and more bitter.Is it really because I am a woman that I don't have enough bearing?

Nangong Jingnv didn't reply to Xing Jingfu, she wanted to wait for Qi Yan to wake up and listen to the other party's opinion, if Qi Yan also meant the same thing, then...the grievance was taken by herself.

In the early morning of the third day, Nangong Jingnv was woken up, and last night was all night, she fell asleep on the table at dawn, frowning and looking at the palace maid who was full of joy: "What's the matter?"

The palace maid knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Dagong has woken up!"

Nangong Jingnv got up suddenly, rushed out of the main hall and went straight to the sleeping hall, forgetting to cover even the yellow silk.Fortunately, the newly appointed head of internal affairs has been able to take care of the job, so he closed the gate of the temple and guarded the door to prevent anyone from entering.

Nangong Jingnv was carrying a long imperial skirt, followed by a servant holding a screen fan at a trot, Nangong Jingnv rushed into the bedroom: "Yuanjun!"

Qi Yan leaned against the soft cushion at the head of the bed with a sick face, her amber eyes flickered when she saw Nangong Jingnv coming in, and she smiled palely: "Your Majesty."

Seeing that Qi Yan lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, Nangong Jingnv came to the bed quickly, and said angrily and distressedly: "Don't get up! What's the point of being polite after all this is happening?" Although the content was severe, the tone was light And helpless, I can't hear the slightest blame at all.

Qi Yan stopped lifting the quilt: "Yes."

After a long silence, it was Qi Yan who spoke first.

Qi Yan: "Did something happen in the hall?"

Nangong Jingnv showed surprise, and then frowned: "But the palace people are talking to you?" The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, except for Qi Yan, any palace people are not allowed to discuss political affairs indiscriminately.

Qi Yan felt oppressed, and sighed: "Your Majesty has lost weight and haggard."

Hearing this, the grievances in Nangong Jingnv's heart welled up inexplicably, she nodded, and said without reservation: "There is a war in Huainan, and the mob has set up a 'Zhengan Army' in the latest report received yesterday. Said that the mob has already occupied three cities, and the team is growing day by day. At present, Huainan Jiedushi is leading troops to suppress it, but because he has not received a clear order from the court, he has not launched an offensive. Although Huainan is warmer than the capital in winter, it is still grassy Marching withering is difficult. Moreover, most of these mobs are locals. They occupy the mountains as kings, are familiar with the terrain, and there are many relatives and old friends in the city. There are many soldiers, but the mob occupies a favorable location. If there is a war, it will be a tug of war. Once the army is deployed, the battle will be victorious, otherwise the power of the sky will be lost. But if the cost of fighting is 75 taels of silver for a month, the court will sell it. I can barely maintain my expenses for three months, so..."

Qi Yan naturally took over the conversation, and said slowly: "So, are those old ministers asking His Majesty to issue an edict of guilt to appease the mob?"

Not only was Nangong Jingnv not surprised by what Qi Yan said, but she was expecting a little luck in her heart: Maybe... the imperial doctor's words were too serious, isn't this person a good person?

Nangong Jingnv nodded.

Qi Yan: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Nangong Jingnv didn't want to interfere with Qi Yan's judgment, so she said, "I want to hear what you mean first."

Qi Yan: "What I mean by this minister is that... this crime must never be promulgated."

Nangong Jing felt emotional for a while, and the haze in her heart was swept away, and she asked, "Why?"

The sudden report from outside the hall interrupted the conversation between the two: "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court."

Nangong Jingnu: "Autumn..." With just one word, it stopped abruptly.Nangong Jingnv originally wanted Qiu Ju to pass the decree not to go to the early court today, but it was just those old ministers who made her sin against her own edict.

The word "autumn" broke the rare tenderness and made the atmosphere fall into silence.

Nangong Jingnv didn't say anything, neither did Qi Yan.

It has been a few days since Qi Yan sent away Qiu Ju, Chen Chuansi and Xia He, and the two tacitly did not mention it again, but after all, Qiu Ju has followed Nangong Jingnv for many years, and this sense of existence cannot be erased in a short time.

Qi Yan stubbornly did not tell Nangong Jingnv the truth. On the one hand, she did not want to expose Sifang Bank, on the other hand, she knew that Nangong Jingnv was soft-hearted. Knowing that these people were still alive, she would definitely find them back, and then she would be in danger again.

So this matter gradually became a thorn between the two of them, an invisible and intangible thorn, which would hurt if it was accidentally touched.

Qi Yan: "Your Majesty, let's go to the court first. It's time for war, if your Majesty is absent from the court for no reason, it's time to make a statement."

Nangong Jingnv turned her head away: "Well, drink the medicine first, and you don't have to wait for me for breakfast, they will prepare it for me, and I will return after the court."

Qi Yan: "Yes."

……

After Nangong Jingnv left, Qi Yan pressed her temples, and there was a throbbing tingling sensation inside. I don't know if it was because of sleeping for too long, but this time when I woke up, my mind was not clear, and the base of my tongue was a little stiff.

Sure enough, as Nangong Jingnv expected, at the court meeting, the six ministers and Zhongshu Ling once again asked Nangong Jingnv to issue an edict of guilt, and the court meeting ended in a hurry. Nangong Jingnv went directly back to Qi Yan, but saw that Qi Yan still maintained her Leaving position - leaning against the cushion at the head of the bed, just asleep.

Nangong Jingnv pursed her lips, sat on the edge of the bed and gently pushed Qi Yan: "Yuanjun?"

Qi Yan opened his eyes, saw the person in front of him clearly, then turned his head to look at the sky outside the window: "Your Majesty came back early? Why did I fall asleep again?"

Nangong Jingnv forced herself to be calm, and explained: "The imperial doctor said that the decoction contains ingredients for sleeping, and there is also drowsiness."

Qi Yan sighed subconsciously again, and sat up straight: "I think that there are two reasons why His Majesty cannot promulgate an edict of guilt. If you can't appease them, it will become an excuse for them to recruit soldiers and buy horses to strengthen themselves. Second, although your Majesty is an empress, you are a woman after all. In this world where patriarchy has been respected since ancient times...all the wrong things you do in your life will be punished. Unlimited magnification." At this point, Qi Yan sighed and said leisurely: "Although His Majesty's foundation is gradually becoming stable, there are still many men in this world, or literati, or warriors, or traffickers, or ordinary people. Maybe they have a lot in their hearts. Everyone will feel that it is a shameful thing to be crushed by a woman. This mob incident can also confirm one or two things. People's hearts are unpredictable, repeated and sinister. It is the so-called defense against the people, even in Sichuan This is the truth. A single word can destroy a person. This world is extremely tolerant to men, but it is inexplicably harsh to women. If your majesty promulgates a sinful edict, it may be immortal. Now Everything is reversed, and the ending will also be reversed. Therefore, this edict of guilt cannot be promulgated."

After Nangong Jingnv heard it, she was enlightened. Apart from grievances, she had always had a faint worry in her heart, but after Qi Yan, she suddenly became enlightened.

Nangong Jingnv asked again: "Since this road doesn't work, how should the court put down the rebellion? Sitting idly by will definitely not work."

Qi Yan raised her hand to hold her forehead, pressed her temples with her slender fingers, and said after a long time: "I have thought of a plan...but the method is a bit cruel, is your majesty willing?"

Nangong Jingnv was silent for a moment, then nodded.

……

Qi Yan came up with a trick for Nangong Jingnv, as she said, it was a little cruel, but it was definitely a trick.

In fact, it rarely snows in Huainan, and winter is the driest season in Huainan. Qi Yan asked Nangong Jingnv to send a secret decree to Huainan, find a windy night and make an appointment to send people to fire the mountain at an hour, and it must be set on fire at the same time, and Form a decapitation force composed of local soldiers, promising great profits and guaranteeing the safety of their families and clan relatives, and ordering this force to lurk in the city occupied by the mob at the same night, and execute the decapitation operation against the enemy.

At the same time, soldiers with local accents were sent to disguise themselves as mobs burned by the fire, and gathered under the occupied city to ask for help.

After entering the city, they ordered these soldiers to secretly scatter in many places and set fire to the sky.

Speaking of this, Qi Yan lowered her eyes, hooked the corners of her mouth, and there was a gloomy and incomprehensible sadness in her eyes. She had used the plan of God's anger and punishment and more fires on her...

Now that the national treasury is empty, it has something to do with the reconstruction of the Weiming Palace, which is the current Chengchao Palace... Nangong Jingnv gave her the best palace in the inner court, but she didn't know that this was another kind of torture for Qi Yan. She opened her eyes every day. When you open your eyes and look at this palace, you can think of everything you have done in the past.

The astonishment in Nangong Jingnv's eyes was fleeting. It is true that such a method is indeed disgraceful in her opinion, but Nangong Jingnv has to admit: this is a clever plan.

How many generals in this world regard "Sun Tzu's Art of War" as a golden rule, and they forget it completely when they memorize it thoroughly in actual combat. Soldiers, attack the city from below; the method of attacking the city is a last resort."

In short, the highest state of being a soldier is: defeating others without fighting.

In the past, the important officials in the court, including the Huainan Jiedu envoy, believed that the court should take back the lost city as soon as possible, which is also what Sun Tzu said: a last resort.

Qi Yan clenched her fist against her lips and coughed a few times, Nangong Jingnv asked with concern: "Is there something wrong? Do you want me to come over and take a look at it?"

Qi Yan: "It doesn't matter, it's just that my throat is a little itchy, I haven't finished talking yet, this is only half of the plan."

Nangong Jingnv stood up and poured a glass of water for Qi Yan, watched her drink it before saying: "Continue talking."

Qi Yan: "What I said above is just the preparatory stage. The most important link is 'surrender'. How to let these mobs return to their homes is the most important thing."

Nangong Jingnv sighed softly: "How could I not know that Huainan is rich and rich and is the granary of Dawei, Huainan is not stable and the court society is also shaken, I thought of a few methods before, the most direct and effective one is to lure, but right now the court treasury is empty, And the three-year amnesty hasn't passed yet, isn't it the opposite?"

Qi Yan: "Many of these mobs are innocent peasants. Your Majesty's amnesty to the world will not benefit them much, but this time it is different. When the mountain is set on fire, the mob will inevitably panic. Your Majesty can send a A person of weight went to Huainan with the edict written by His Majesty, hung the edict on the city wall, and sent someone to handwrite some private seals printed on His Majesty and put them outside the city ten feet away. The city gate was closed at night and no matter what Request, there is no need to write too complicated content on it, just write 'with this book, forget the past'."

Nangong Jingnv asked: "Then what if they don't come to get it?"

Qi Yan smiled slightly, with a hint of pampering and tenderness in his eyes, and patiently explained: "If they don't come to get it, we will send someone to get it. Don't put too much for the first time. Fifty copies for each city is enough. A batch will be issued every ten days, the number is variable each time but not too much, and should be reduced appropriately. In addition...Didn't Your Majesty say that most of the mobs are local people? Then distribute some in the city, and let the people in the city donate to Relatives and friends who have gone astray, of course, must state that this edict is only valid for one month, and if the mob has not calmed down after one month, otherwise the army will be unleashed until all participants will be punished for treason, and family members will suffer."

After Nangong Jingnv listened, she thought for a while: "You rest first, I'll discuss it with the six ministers."

Qi Yan grabbed Nangong Jingnv's hand: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Nangong Jingnv's heart skipped a few beats suddenly, Qi Yan seemed to have thought of something and silently withdrew her hand.

This was the first "intimate contact" between the two after Nangong Jingnv learned of Qi Yan's identity as a woman, although it was only for a moment.

Nangong Jingnv suppressed the strange feeling in her heart: "What else is there?"

Qi Yan: "Your Majesty, it is very important to be careful with this strategy proposed by the minister. If it is taken lightly, it may backfire. Not only will it fail to appease the mob, but it will also cause the imperial court and His Majesty to lose their dignity. If it is serious, it will force them to fight back. The imperial court will fight to the end, and this person...not only must be absolutely loyal to His Majesty, but also have a certain weight..."

Nangong Jingnu: "How about Gongyanghuai?"

Qi Yan: "Baishi is naturally good, but the military talisman of the Taiwei is too oppressive for those mobs, and at this juncture, Baishi should stay in the capital to assist and protect His Majesty, and it is not appropriate to leave the capital."

Nangong Jingnv heard Qi Yan's intention to invite Ying, and immediately objected: "No, your current physical condition is not suitable for long-distance travel. It's cold outside and Huainan is far away, so you can't stand this ordeal."

Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnv, her lips moved, and it took a long time before she whispered a few words: "I just want to do something for Your Majesty." This sentence was said very calmly, but Nangong Jingnv felt a sense of farewell inexplicably , her eyes turned red uncontrollably, Nangong Jingnv turned her eyes away, but replied firmly: "If I say no, I won't! I'll go first... I'll see you later."

Qi Yan didn't say anything, just watched Nangong Jingnv's back until it disappeared. Not long after Nangong Jingnv left, Qi Yan fell asleep again, and woke up again. Nangong Jingnv appeared beside Qi Yan's bed again.

The light in the hall was very dark, only a few oil lamps were on. The dim light made Nangong Jingnu's expression a little blurred. Qi Yan was in a daze for a while, and asked, "Your Majesty? What time is it?"

Nangong Jingnu tucked the quilt up for Qi Yan, raised her hand and touched her forehead: "It's time to die, the imperial doctor said that your body is weak, and the prescription has added sleeping herbs."

After Nangong Jingnv finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, staring at a certain point on the brocade quilt in a daze.

Qi Yan's ingenious plan was supported by Liubu Shangshu, Zhongshu Ling and Taiwei, but before a specific candidate was discussed, people from the Royal Hospital hurriedly reported that Omiya was in a coma.

Nangong Jingnv immediately finished discussing the state affairs, and hurried over, Qi Yan had just woken up for a day before falling into a coma again.

Nangong Jingnv became very angry, and the people in the imperial hospital walked on eggshells. Doctor Wang even used his own head as a guarantee that his prescription was absolutely fine.

To prove his innocence, Royal Physician Wang ate Qi Yan with the leftover medicine residue, and nothing happened two hours later.

Nangong Jingnv panicked, and she stood by Qi Yan's bedside, sticking her finger under Qi Yan's breath from time to time.

Gathering the power of the imperial hospital, all methods were used, including acupuncture points... Qi Yan showed no sign of waking up, and Nangong Jingnv once again felt her own incompetence. Even if she is an empress, she can only hope , Waiting obsessively, there is no other way.

Fortunately, Qi Yan didn't sleep for a long time this time, and woke up after only a few hours. After waking up, she didn't feel any discomfort, but Nangong Jingnv knew that this didn't mean that Qi Yan was in good health. It is impossible to wake up the acupuncture points.

What made Nangong Jingnv most desperate was: apart from water syndrome, the Imperial Hospital could not diagnose Qi Yan's other illnesses.

Nangong Jingnv raised her hand to straighten Qi Yan's broken hair on her forehead, and said softly: "I changed a group of new palace people for you and placed them in the palace. It's impossible without someone caring to serve you. I'm busy today After a day, go back to rest first, just ask what you need, if you are thirsty or hungry, ask the palace servants to serve you, okay?"

Qi Yan: "Yes."

Nangong Jingnv forcefully forced back the moisture in her eyes: "Then I'll go back first?"

Qi Yan: "Your Majesty, wait!"

Nangong Jingnu: "Huh?"

Qi Yan: "How was the result of the discussion? What did the courtiers say...?"

Nangong Jingnu: "Don't worry, they all think your plan is feasible, and I will start to implement it tomorrow."

Qi Yan: "Where is the candidate? Have you decided?"

Nangong Jingnu: "It's still under discussion. If you think Gongyanghuai is not suitable, I can ask Zhongshuling to go there in person. Zhongshuling is an extremely talented minister and a civil servant. It always meets your requirements, right?"

Qi Yan thought for a while, and replied: "If Master Zhongshuling is willing to go through this, that's fine."

Nangong Jingnu: "Have a good rest."

……

The moment Nangong Jingnu turned around, tears fell silently, she straightened her waist and raised her chin slightly, and left the bedroom.

After leaving the bedroom, a gust of wind blew past, the clothes on Nangong Jingnv's body were instantly torn through, and her cheeks hurt like a knife cut.

Nangong Jingnv was followed by a grand guard of honor. She walked alone at the front of the line, weeping silently.

On this lonely and cold night, Nangong Jingnv walked alone on the palace road, bearing the biting chill and endless sorrow.

The relationship between her and Qi Yan...hasn't had time to sort it out, and haven't had time to sit down and have a good talk.

why?

After Nangong Jingnu returned to the Imperial Study Room to discuss with all the adults, she left Zhongshu Ling Xing Jingfu alone, and analyzed the key points of Qi Yan's plan to Xing Jingfu. The latter applauded after listening, Killing and punishing the heart is nothing more than that.

Farmers mostly rely on the sky for food, and they are especially in awe of the theory of strange powers and chaotic gods.

Nangong Jingnu: "The end of the year is approaching. Logically speaking, you should not be allowed to go there in person. However, when the court is in crisis, Mr. Ruyuan said that the operation of this matter cannot be deviated by half, so I must This matter is entrusted to a person of extraordinary ability and absolutely trustworthy."

Xing Jingfu: "The old minister understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Nangong Jingnu: "Go back and collect the whole suit, and set off in three days with my letter, and I will personally see you off."

Xing Jingfu lifted the hem of his official robe and knelt down on the ground: "I obey the order!"

……

Nangong Jingnv wrote the letter overnight and got the Ministry of Industry to engrave it on a stone slab. She thought she could finally have a few days off to spend time with Qi Yan, and then ordered people to go to the folks to find famous doctors to treat Qi Yan.

But... there is no coincidence without a book.

On the eve before Xing Jingfu was going to Huainan, Xing Jingfu's old mother Gaotang passed away, and when someone found her body, the old lady was already cold.

According to the laws of the Wei State, when Zuntang passed away, he should observe filial piety for three years, which is also called "Ding You". Obedience, some famous families even their eldest grandsons have to observe filial piety for one year.

During these three years, Ding You will build a thatched hut next to the grave to live alone, grow mulberry, eat cold food, and pay homage every day.

The whole country of Wei believes in Confucianism and values ​​filial piety. If a scholar like Xing Jingfu does not respect filial piety, not only himself, but also future generations will be unable to hold their heads up.

The news reported that in the palace, Nangong Jingnv was silent for a long time, and Xing Jingfu was relieved of the responsibility to go to Huainan, and she was allowed to resign for three years and then hired after three years. She also wrote a pair of elegiac couplets with her own hands. In the mansion, Mrs. Gaoming, the mother of Xing Jingfu, was granted as a gift.

The left and right servants take the same position as Zhongshu, waiting for the holy order.But another more imminent thing is in front of us: the censor group is about to go to Huainan, and the position of head is once again vacant.

Nangong Jingnv has completely committed a difficult situation this time. Although Nangong Jingnv has vigorously cultivated a group of young loyal forces since she became the throne, most of them are not yet capable of taking on this important task.

Among the veterans left over from the previous dynasty, only Xing Jingfu, a Nangong Jingnv, is trustworthy and capable enough. The rest are either too old to travel far, or their behavior is too conservative, or they are suspected of being disconnected from the previous dynasty.

Gong Yanghuai is a good candidate, but as Qi Yan said, he holds half a soldier talisman, which is too coercive for the mob.

After much deliberation, Nangong Jingnv wanted Qin De, the servant of the Ministry of War, who was born in Jinzhou, to be on the top. Qin De was Qi Yan's protégé and an official whom Qi Yan single-handedly promoted.

This idea is certain, Nangong Jingnv came to Chengchao Palace, and wanted to ask Qi Yan's opinion, or if she had any instructions.

When he came to Chengchao Palace, he was told by the palace maid that the concubine Yagui came to visit an hour ago.

Nangong Jingnv was startled at first: what is she doing here.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered the past "entanglement" between Jiya and Qiyan Agula—Qi Yan once said that Nagus Erihe once wanted to betroth Jiya to Qiyan Agula as his wife...

Nangong Jingnv felt a little weird in her heart, and when she heard that Jiya had been in the bedroom for almost an hour, her pace quickened a lot.

With a sound of "squeak", Nangong Jingnv pushed open the door of the bedroom, and the screen blocked Nangong Jingnv's sight.

From behind the screen came Jiya's delicate voice: "Who is it?"

Nangong Jingnv walked over quickly, and saw Qi Yan sitting on the bed in only a snow-white tunic, with an empty medicine bowl on the small table next to her, and Ji Ya sat by the bed without hesitation !

Nangong Jingnv said with a cold face, "What are you doing here?"

Jiya smiled sweetly, she was so beautiful: "I heard that Mr. Yuan is ill, so I came here to visit." She said and looked at Qi Yan with a smile.

Qi Yan hooked the corner of her mouth, noncommittal.

Nangong Jingnv saw Qi Yan's smile, and the fire in her heart ignited with a "teng".My heart suddenly brightened: Yes, Jiya must have discovered Qi Yan's identity early in the morning, and she hasn't said for so many years that there must be something hidden!

Nangong Jingnv said coldly: "Have you seen it now?"

Jiya: "Yes, I see."

Nangong Jingnu: "No."

Ji Ya was not annoyed either, she put her fingers to her lips, giggled for a while, got up and left.

When the sound of closing the door came, Nangong Jingnv's tense body relaxed, looked at Qi Yan for a while, and sighed softly: "How do you feel today?"

Qi Yan only guessed half of Nangong Jingnv's reaction. She guessed Nangong Jingnv's attitude towards Ji Ya, but she didn't guess the ending.

She thought Nangong Jingnv would ask her why Ji Ya came, but she didn't expect her to say nothing.

Qi Yan: "Thank you for your Majesty's concern, I feel much better, thanks to the company of the noble concubine."

Nangong Jingnv's eyebrows twitched, she looked at her in astonishment as if she didn't know Qi Yan anymore.

Hearing the word "companion", Nangong Jingnu's heart was extremely sour. When will it be her husband's turn to accompany others?

When the words came to her lips, Nangong Jingnv swallowed them back abruptly. Thinking of Qi Yan's sleeping state and seeing her sickly face, she couldn't bear to criticize her harshly.

Qi Yan: "Your Majesty... is things going well?"

Nangong Jingnu sighed, she wanted to sit on the bed, but when she thought that Ji Ya was sitting there just now, she couldn't sit any longer, so she moved a round stool and sat next to Qi Yan: "Mrs. The booklet has been written, please play the resignation of the post of Zhongshu Ling, Ding You for three years. I have already agreed."

Qi Yan didn't make a sound, Nangong Jingnv said again: "The post of Head of Huainan is vacant, I want Qin De to take over, what do you think?"

Qi Yan bent Qu Xiu's long finger, and replied: "Qin De...is capable enough. But he comes from a poor family, so I'm afraid he will be soft-hearted. If the foreshadowing is not ruthless enough, those mobs will not be allowed to try the court's methods." , I’m afraid they won’t surrender willingly. The minister’s schemes are closely linked, and no one step can go wrong. The most perfect effect can only be achieved by driving the mob to a dead end and throwing out a glimmer of hope.”

Nangong Jingnv frowned slightly, thinking about who else she could entrust.

Qi Yan said slowly again: "The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again. This group of mobs has a clear purpose, and their tactics are cunning, and there must be someone secretly supporting them. If they don't completely suppress the matter this time, the next resurgence will never be like this." Tricks won't work. Your Majesty..."

Nangong Jingnu: "Stop talking!"

Qi Yan: "Your Majesty!"

Nangong Jingnu: "I don't believe that the big court can't find a replacement. In short, I don't allow you to go!"

Seeing that Nangong Jingnv was about to leave, Qi Yan added another sentence: "Your Majesty, I have been very depressed these few days, I wonder if I can let Jiya come over from time to time?"

Nangong Jingnv's complexion changed with anger, her chest heaved, and she walked away.

Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnv's back, showing a wry smile.

Today, Jiya found Qi Yan: She received a handwritten letter from Nagus Anujin, saying that Gu Qibayin heard that Qi Yan's identity was exposed, and planned to rescue Qi Yan when Luochuan was frozen. Jiya's son asks Jiya to be an internal response.

Ji Yasi thinks about it. Although the Wei Kingdom court is in danger, Nangong Jingnv's ability is beyond everyone's expectations. Now the court situation is gradually stabilized, and Luobei is thousands of miles away from the capital. Years and a half years ago, although Wei State took advantage of Luochuan's freezing to subvert the grassland, it was Nangong Rang who gathered an army on the Luochuan side in advance, and added the grassland to flatten the river to succeed.

The Wei country is different from the grasslands. There are many cities and garrisons everywhere. It is not easy to fight to the capital. Once the two sides dislike the war, Ji Ya knows that she will be killed to sacrifice the flag.

So she came to find Qi Yan, if Qi Yan could help her return to Luobei, she would try her best to persuade Guqibayin and Anujin to avoid this war.

Qi Yan was astonished after hearing this, and after thinking about it for a while, she knew that this must be revenge given to her by the masked man, but Qi Yan knew about Anda's personality. In order to save himself, Bayin will definitely kill him!

Right now the national treasury is empty, Huainan has a large-scale rebel army, if Luobei also rebels, the court is in danger, if the masked man is waiting for an opportunity to make a move...

Qi Yan also thought about asking Qian Tong or someone from Sifang Bank to send a message to Bayin, telling him that he was fine.

But after a little thought, he realized that it would not work. Anujin had already turned his back on him, otherwise he would not have included Bayin, the father-killing enemy. Didn't he take a fancy to Bayin's undeserved courage?

Qian Tong and the people from Sifang Bank don’t understand the prairie dialect, and because their eyes are different from those of the prairie people, they can’t disguise themselves. Only Jiya can reach Luobei safely and bring his message to Bayin!

Qi Yan reached an agreement with Jiya immediately, and she forced Jiya to
