Imperial family
Chapter 5
Will beg the Queen Mother. "
Nangong Moxi nodded and let her go.
Just when he was about to enter the mansion, he thought of something, so he pulled the messenger and said, "Do you know what the Empress Dowager is reading?"
"I heard from the imperial physician that I have been thinking about His Royal Highness King Wu."
Nangong Moxi was relieved, it was all right, his mother still believed in him.
After returning to the mansion, Nangong Moxi looked a little bored at the gradually darkening sky, so she finally couldn't help but left the mansion and went to the long bridge.He originally wanted to go to relax, but he didn't want to run into Nangong Ye on the long bridge.The man sat alone on the bridge, and there was a fire in front of him. When he walked in, he found that Nangong Ye was burning paper money.
He counted the days, and it was exactly seven days since Nangong Yu died today.
Nangong Moxi looked at the people under the bridge, saw that people poured wine on the ground, burned all the paper money and did not stand up.A gust of wind blew past, and the burned ashes scattered wantonly.When the paper with fire fell into the water, it was extinguished immediately.
He saw Nangong Ye struggling to stand up, took a sword beside him, and turned his wrist, it was a sword flower.
The chaos of his sword dance is orderly, I am afraid that he has to come here to vent his psychological discomfort.Nangong Moxi saw that this set of sword techniques was Nangong Yu's supreme goodness like water.Nangong Moxi also knows this sword move. It is an extremely benevolent sword technique. It is complicated and beautiful, and it doesn't attack people fatally. If Nangong Yu used this move to confront Nangong Ye that day, it would not Not with murderous intentions.
I saw that Nangong Ye's hand moves changed in vain, Shangshan Ruoshui followed by stepping on the snow to find plums, two completely different sword moves.
Nangong Moxi drew out his sword, jumped forward, and the long sword pierced out in front of him.He came so calmly that Nangong Ye suddenly couldn't resist.This move is rarely used by Nangong Moxi, the real last move of Stepping on the Snow and Seeking Plum Blossoms has nine variations, and each move is aimed at the enemy's vital points.It creates tremendous pressure on people, and it is inevitable for people to avoid it.
Nangong Mo Xifei intended to kill Nangong Ye, so when he aimed at Nangong Ye's throat, his sword stopped.He looked at the cold sweat on Nangong Ye's head, and felt a little unbearable, but he still asked, "Why did you kill Brother Nine?"
Nangong Ye felt as if a pot of cold water was being poured down, and his heart felt so cold.He didn't answer, just stared at Nangong Moxi, and then laughed loudly: "What joke is the third brother talking about, isn't it the third brother who wants to kill Brother Jiuwang? I just obey the third brother's wishes."
"He is no longer a threat. You really humiliated yourself by killing him."
Nangong Ye laughed out loud as if he had heard some big joke in the world. He kicked over the jug on the bridge, and with a bang, the jug fell into the lake, causing the fish to scatter.
"Has this king ever been afraid of anything?"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"It's a joke, what kind of life dares to stand in the way of this king, this king has never been afraid, not even the emperor's life."
Nangong Moxi smiled slightly: "I'm talking about your life."
"My life?" Nangong Ye finally came to his senses, but only for a moment, he laughed wildly again: "Third brother, what joke are you talking about, who can take my life?"
"You yourself." Nangong Moxi spoke very slowly, "What do you think?"
Nangongye took a step forward and moved his neck closer to the point of the sword: "I think it's the third brother."
Nangong Moxi had no choice but to take a step forward, the sword and the flesh fit together, as long as there was a little carelessness, Nangongye's life would end here.
"Does the third brother want to avenge Brother Jiuwang?"
"Why should I avenge him?"
"Then why did the third brother blame me?"
Nangong Mo Xi frowned, as if he couldn't think of any reason.Just as he was about to remove the sword, Nangong Ye grabbed it against his throat with his bare hands: "Third brother, kill me." He held the sword tightly, allowing the blade to cut the flesh on his hand.
Seeing his appearance, Nangong Moxi felt a little scared for some reason, but she didn't dare to move for fear of hurting him.
I just heard him say: "Third brother, if you don't kill me, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that one day you would rather die than obey me. If there is such a time, I would rather die by your hands."
"You... Isn't this just taking your own life?" Nangong Moxi smiled lowly.The wind messed up the strands of hair on his sideburns, allowing people to clearly see that strand of gorgeous hair.Nangong Ye suddenly pounced on him, making Nangong Moxi jump.My heart skipped a beat, and then I was hugged tightly in my arms.
Nangong Ye's blood stained the clothes on the back of Nangong Moxi, and he hugged her tightly as if trying to embed him in his body.Today was Nangong Yu's first seven days, and he felt terrified when he thought that the pale face in his dream had turned into Nangong Moxi.
"Third brother..." He wanted to say that he was afraid, but he couldn't say it, he could only hug him tightly, feel the body temperature of the other person, making him feel that he was still alive.
Nangong Moxi didn't struggle, but only smiled slightly, feeling that the Seventeenth Brother had a deep affection for him.He thought about it carefully, and then whispered in Nangong Ye's ear: "Seventeen, have you ever thought about it, we can't go on this road."
"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Nangong Ye suddenly acted like a wayward child, "I don't care about anything. Brothers can't kill each other, as long as the third brother leaves, I will follow. I don't want anything else, I just want the third brother to be safe and healthy. If I don't have that precious life, and I can't protect the third brother, how can I rest assured down."
This sincere confession is the first time.Nangong Moxi listened in a daze. He always thought that Nangong Ye would act recklessly but had a heart of a child. He never thought that he thought so much about himself.It turned out that he also knew that he had no other strengths besides being born with honor.
Nangong Moxi let out a chuckle and shook his head.
"Why did the third brother shake his head?"
"In the future, we will fight each other. You are trying to keep the Nangong family's country, and I am taking the throne for revenge."
"On the road to Huangquan, I will never let my third brother go alone."
"But you still have considerations. If you follow me, what should the Queen Mother do?"
Nangong Ye tightly pursed his lips and stopped answering. He heard Nangong Moxi say, "Besides, I must have lost. At that time, I will never go with you."
What he said was so clear that it made people feel cold, as if there was no way out.
"I came today to tell you. We have been entangled to this point, and it should be over. Now that we stand on three legs, you have your power, and I have mine, so why bother to do it together. At the beginning, I didn't want you to intervene Among them, I have to..." Nangong Moxi didn't go on, but there was no reason why Nangong Ye didn't understand.He loosened his grip, took a step back, and looked at Nangong Moxi with disbelief in his eyes.
"What did you say?"
"For the sake of the great cause, there is nothing that I cannot give up."
His words were cold, and he completely cut off the relationship with Nangong Ye.
"I'm so infatuated that I wish I could dig out my heart and give it to you."
"You gave me a heart, what's the use, unless it's Nangong Cheng's heart." Nangong Mo Xi looked at him fixedly, "I've always wanted to dig out Nangong Cheng's heart to worship my mother."
Nangong Moxi saw that the other party's face turned pale, so he opened his eyes wide, showing some innocent expression: "If you don't enter this round, I will play with you for now, but if you enter this round, I don't want to play anymore .”
"Third brother lied to me, you must have learned something and kicked me out on purpose."
"If you feel comfortable thinking about it this way, then so be it."
Nangong Moxi turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Nangong Ye, "I won't be deceived again, third brother has always been thinking of me, and I really have no brains if I still can't see it in this situation. You lied to me to stay away , don’t pester you; you lied to me to go back to the fief, and didn’t let me enter Beijing; you thought I set up a trap to lure the seventh brother and the ninth brother, so you set yourself on fire; in order not to damage my reputation, you deliberately contacted the Tai Tuo, and asked the mother to protect me I don't want to get involved in the treasure robbery; now, are you trying to trick me into leaving?" Nangong Ye's voice choked up: "When you look at Yao'er every day, are you thinking of me? Third brother... Just to make you refuse to tell the truth? You always lie and lie to me. You used to hide your life experience to let me stay in the fief with peace of mind and pretend to be at your disposal. Later, you explained to me that it was just to scare me away Me, force me away. You know I misunderstood you, and I never tell the truth. Brother, don’t you forget the past, have you forgotten the third brother? Your hair is gray and your heart is dry, and your heart is bleeding. Can't I feel it? Or does the third brother think that your seventeenth brother is a big fool from beginning to end, and it's not worthy of you to tell the truth?"
The person standing with his back didn't move at all, Nangong Ye continued: "Third Brother, I have done one thing wrong in my life, which is to bully Sister Hua. You blame me, right? You also blame me for being restless Staying in the fiefdom, but came to Beijing to make trouble, and even acted as someone else's executioner to kill the seventh brother and the ninth brother, right? You blame me for becoming more sensitive at this time, and I will no longer be deceived by you, right? That day You are married, what do you want to say to me? Maybe I can get a truth from you at that time, right? "
Nangong Moxi couldn't answer his series of questions, so he clenched his lower lip to prevent the tears from rolling down his eyes.Nangong Ye suddenly let go, and hugged Nangong Moxi from behind: "Third brother, why didn't you answer me?"
"Since you already know, why bother to ask?"
"I just want Brother San to tell the truth."
Nangong Moxi felt the pain in his heart was severe, and his exhausted mind was squeezed even more. He looked at the strand of gorgeous hair beside his temples, and smiled bitterly: "What do you want me to say? I... .." Nangong Moxi thought for a while, then shook his head deeply: "So what if I have a heart for you, you treat me with the heart of a child, but I will be calculating every step of the way, every word I say, everything I do Intention. What do you want me to say?"
Nangong Ye turned the person around, and saw that the pair of phoenix eyes were already flushed. "I just want to ask third brother, when you got married that day, you turned around and called me, if Chu Sheng hadn't interrupted, what were you going to say?"
Nangong Moxi thought about it carefully, and looked into Nangong Ye's eyes: "I want to say..."
"My lord! The Empress Dowager is in a hurry, please enter the palace quickly!"
Xin Zhao got the news, he searched for a long time to find Nangong Ye, the palace is busy at the moment, the imperial doctor diagnosed the Queen Mother as probably sad tonight.Xin Zhao didn't dare to delay at all, and didn't care about what the prince was talking to King Yu, so he had to report loudly, for fear that the prince would miss the last time with his mother, which would be a lifetime regret.
"The Queen Mother is in a hurry!?"
Nangong Ye was shocked, and immediately let go of Nangong Moxi and turned to look over. "Quick, this king is going to enter the palace!" He suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Nangong Moxi again: "Shall third brother go together?"
"I can't go."
"Then, third brother wait for me!"
Nangong Moxi nodded, standing on the long bridge, watching the back of Nangongye riding away on horseback.
One step late to miss the mother's meeting, one step back to win the honor of the emperor
On the way back to the palace, Nangong Ye felt an unspeakable ominous premonition in his heart.Speeding up the horse, reaching the gate of the palace, he went straight to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.Running all the way, I met palace people passing by in a hurry on the road, and seeing them hurrying, the sense of ominousness was even stronger.Before reaching the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the death knell rang.
Nangong Ye stopped suddenly, and looked in the direction where the sound came from. When the surrounding palace people heard the sound, they immediately knelt down and lowered their heads with mournful expressions on their faces.Nangongye's eyes widened, and he ran into the bedroom in big strides after a while.
On the sick bed, the woman who had lived a prosperous life had already closed her eyes, the palace was filled with solemnity, and several palace servants had already burst into tears.Nangong Ye looked at Brother Huang, and saw that the man was also full of grief, and the Empress couldn't stop crying.
This scene was never similar to when the father left.
At that time, their brothers broke into the palace, and heard the death knell before they saw their father, and when they entered the father's palace again, they only saw his face as pale as paper.The emperor's brother mourned, and the third brother next to him wept.Why... he can't see his father for the last time, and now he can't even see his mother for the last time?
Nangong Ye's eyes were astringent, and when he threw himself towards the bed, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't make any sound.He thought about his mother in his heart, and recalled the appearance of many mothers when they were alive, trembling.
He shouldn't, shouldn't have avoided these few days. He should be by her side every day, so that she wouldn't miss him at the last moment.Nangong Ye threw herself on her mother, hating only herself.
How much he thought that she could open her eyes again, how much he thought that she could call himself "Ye'er" pamperingly again.
"Seventeenth brother, why are you here now?"
The queen's voice choked up, and tears fell down one after another. "The queen mother still misses you at the end."
Nangongye turned his head suddenly, and looked at the queen with teary eyes. He wanted to say that he was always one step too late. He wanted to say that his father was thinking of himself when he left.He has a thousand things to say, but he can't say a word.
The empress couldn't bear to see him so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak, so she said: "You don't have to blame yourself in the past, the queen mother's illness has been dragging on for a long time, and now she just can't drag it on." She felt uncomfortable again as she spoke, leaving Turn around and wipe away tears silently.
Nangong Ye nodded, stood up, and let her mother deal with the affairs of the funeral.
"Did the queen give any instructions when she was leaving?"
When he asked like this, everyone only looked at each other, and then at the emperor.
"The queen mother confessed that I will allow you to go back to the fief and be a happy prince for the rest of your life, and never enter the political situation again."
Nangong Ye thought to himself, it was indeed what the queen mother would say, so she nodded without doubting him. "Didn't the queen mother blame me?"
"She loves you the most in her heart. Even if you are at fault, how can she have the heart to blame her? Now he is going to accompany his seventh and ninth brothers, and he only says that he will not let others bully them again."
Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but choked up, and Nangong Ye even couldn't help crying.
"After taking care of the affairs of the queen mother, you will seal the land. Don't go to Beijing again in this life, so that the queen mother won't worry about it."
Nangong Ye didn't answer, just stood there in a daze.
Put away the sadness and wear plain robes.The filial piety clothes on the body are actually much heavier than when the father left.
During this period of time, he just wanted to stay in the palace and spend time with his mother.
Instructed Xin Zhao to go to Changqiao to inform Nangong Moxi, and Xin Zhao came back to inform that there was no one there.Nangong Ye felt a pain in his heart again, now he only felt that the people he cared about had left him.
The queen mother passed away, and the country was mourned.Nangongye begged for grace and personally kept watch.He knelt in front of the main hall with burning paper in his hand.Looking at my mother's memorial tablet, my heart was actually empty.
Five days later, the empress dowager's coffin was brought into the imperial mausoleum.Nangong Ye walked in the front holding the memorial tablet, and the palace people held the banners all the way to the tomb of the former emperor.No one went out on the streets of the capital, and the crying of the ministers could be heard all the way.
After sending the queen mother into the underground palace, Nangong Ye turned around.Seeing Nangong Moxi and Hua Xiangrong who were also wearing plain robes.
The robes were burned in front of the imperial mausoleum, and all funerals were over.
Nangong Moxi looked at Nangong Ye and nodded.Then he picked up Nangong Yao and walked back. The backs of the family of three were so harmonious that those watching couldn't bear to break it.Even though Nangong Ye felt a thousand pains in his heart, there was absolutely nothing he could do at this moment.
"My lord, come back."
Nangong Ye shook his head, "I want to stay here with my father and queen mother for a while longer."
He can't go back to the fief right now, and although he doesn't doubt what his mother said before she died, he can't believe it all.He lost his mother's protection, if the emperor wanted to punish him, wouldn't it be an extremely simple matter?
Brother Twelve is cautious all his life, if Brother Huang wants to deal with him, wouldn't he do it together this time?The third brother is struggling, why not let the emperor catch the handle?What's more, I am so arrogant.Nangong Ye felt terrible when he thought of the various schemes of how his brother got rid of his brother.He thinks he is cold-hearted, and as long as he is happy, he will not care about the affairs of the world, but compared to his brother Huang, he is really far behind.
Now that his mother passed away, Nangong Ye felt that his only worry was gone.
He must get that position, and then protect the third brother well.He could never lose his third brother again.
Nangongye looked at the imperial mausoleum, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground, "Father, don't blame me!" He kowtowed, then stood up and walked towards the palace of the imperial mausoleum.
"Xin Zhao, I want to see that grave." Nangong Ye said as he walked, "Don't let the emperor know."
"promise!"
That night, Nangong Ye walked into the moonlight wearing a black shirt.He followed Xin Zhao to the east of the imperial mausoleum.Before his death, his father said that the emperor and empress must be buried together, and the empress mausoleum in the east is buried with Concubine Yu.
Nangong Ye frowned, feeling that this path was not right.But he didn't ask, just followed behind.When he arrived at Concubine Yu's tomb, Zhao Dao said, "My lord, this is here."
"This is the tomb of Concubine Yu."
Nangongye thought again, could it be that his father buried that man with Concubine Yu.
"They were originally husband and wife, and they were buried in the same cave."
Sure enough.Nangong Ye looked at the empress-sized mausoleum and thought a lot. I don't know what kind of blessing it is for that person to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. It's a pity that there is only Concubine Yu's name on the stele, not the person's last name.
It is really sad to die without a name.
"You said that the suburbs of Beijing were here?"
"Because I dare not talk about the imperial mausoleum, please forgive me!" Xin Zhao knelt down.Nangong Ye didn't know how to take care of him, so he asked people to get up.After thinking about it, he knelt down in front of the mausoleum.He has a lot to say, a lot of apologies he wants to say, but he can't say it in his heart.Nangong Ye could understand his father's intentions, but he felt deeply sorry for the couple in the tomb.
If it weren't for the Royal Father, how would you...
Thinking about it, Nangong Ye kowtowed three times, and only hoped that you would forgive me and the third brother.
He and the third brother have nothing to rely on at this time, they can only rely on themselves.
Nangong Ye bit her lip, calmed down and stood up.He had no intention of inquiring into his father's privacy, so he did not ask Nangong Mo Xi's biological father's name.He stood for a while, then let Xin Zhao lead him back.
It took another seven days to live in front of the mausoleum. After seven days, Nangong returned to the palace at night and paid homage to the emperor.
He knew very well that the emperor was staring at him closely at this time, so he was much more docile, like Mo Xi when he entered the palace.
After leaving the palace and passing Tianxianju, Nangongye asked about the boss again, and the shop assistant still gave the same answer as last time.Now, the emperor ordered him to return to the fief within three days, and he wanted to delay it for three days.
Someone was sent to check the background of the boss of Xianju that day, and more hidden stakes were set up.He thought it over, after going back this time, the next time we meet will be a battle between the emperors, a life-and-death situation.
The people sent out came back, Xin Zhao led the people in to report back, Nangong Ye was a little surprised when he heard it.
"A faction in the rivers and lakes, how did it get involved in the government?"
"My lord, I, Dahui, relied on the forces of Jianghu to build the dynasty. It would be difficult for them to infiltrate the court."
Nangong Ye nodded, thinking about it was right.
"Your Majesty's methods of winning people's hearts are top-notch. It is not impossible to have the help of green forest masters secretly."
Nangongye shook his head, "I don't think it's that simple."
He always felt in his heart that if the boss of Xianju belonged to Brother Huang that day, it would be too obvious, and he always felt that there was a force behind him.Wait, Nangong Ye suddenly thought, if he didn't help Nangong Moxi, where would he get the soldiers to carry out the coup?
No, he was naturally helped by Beichan's sentence, and he also said at that time that he had the Tiger Talisman of the Imperial Forest Army in his hand.
Nangong Ye felt that Nangong Moxi would not use Beichan's troops without authorization, and he would not be collaborating with the enemy and treason, but relying only on the Imperial Forest Army, isn't it too much of a joke?
At this time, he thought of the mysterious man in Tianxianju.Although the Jianghu people are no better than the army and cannot march and form an army, but with the help of magic skills, it is still easy to take the head of someone inadvertently.At that time, the imperial forest army suddenly mutinied, and the emperor's brother would not be able to react.Thinking about it this way, Nangong Ye felt that that person was more like the third brother's hidden stake.
He smiled: "It's not a bad job."
Xin Zhao asked people to retreat, seeing Nangong Ye's relaxed expression, he was puzzled: "My lord doesn't think it's a threat."
Nangong Ye shook his head: "No. It's just that we don't have the energy to take care of this right now. Let's prepare a bit. We'll go back to the fief in three days."
Zhao Dao said yes, then suddenly thought of something and turned around: "My lord, you should be more careful, lord Yu."
"This king knows it well."
Sooner or later, he and his third brother will confront each other head-on, and what he is fighting now is this time difference.If he raised the army first, what would his third brother do?Help the emperor?help yourself?He couldn't figure it out.Nangong Ye has always been passive, but now, he wants to take the initiative.
When are you going to see the third brother?
As long as he thought about it like this, Nangong Ye couldn't bear it anymore.He thought about that day on the long bridge, Nangong Moxi seemed to be about to tell the truth but was interrupted by Zhao Xin.
Going to ask this sentence.
He turned around and went out, heading towards Prince Yu's mansion.But as soon as I got in the car, I felt that this was really abrupt. After thinking about it, I asked people to go to the long bridge.He originally wanted to try his luck to see if he could meet the third brother here, but now it seems that there is no such fate.
The long bridge was empty, and he walked up the bridge step by step, watching the koi in the lake spit bubbles, and smiled.
"Third brother, third brother, I'm so curious, what will you tell me?"
Mo Xiye stood up and confronted Bai Yuqin, His Majesty forced him to face up to his heart
Nangong Moxi went back to the mansion that day and was sick, Hua Xiangrong was also very worried because the emperor didn't let her see the queen mother before the queen mother left, so she didn't have time to say a lot.She didn't know what the queen mother's last words were, and seeing Nangong Moxi's recent depression made her even more worried.
And Nangong Moxi's contacts had already told him that the Empress Dowager's real order was for the emperor to dispose of Prince Yu.He had expected it a long time ago and was not surprised, he just didn't understand what the emperor thought.I heard that he was pleading for himself at that time, if he didn't do it for others to see, then he had other ideas.
This day and night, Nangong Moxi couldn't sleep, seeing that Hua Xiangrong had already fallen asleep, she got out of bed.He was sitting at the table in the bedroom, looking at the table and wondering what he was thinking.After a while, Nangong Moxi stood up, walked out the door, and headed towards the study.
Now the snow has melted, and it is very cold.Nangong Moxi wore a coat and went to the study.
Passing by the long bridge in the backyard of the mansion, he paused slightly, thinking of Nangong Ye's persecution on the long bridge that day, his heart sank heavily.He was almost forced to speak the truth.
Biting his lips, to wake himself up from the pain, he went to the study again, thinking about Nangong Ye's appearance from childhood to adulthood, he groaned, turned around, and headed for Yao'er's room.
Gently pushing open the door, Yao'er on the bed was sleeping very peacefully, with a smile on her little face.Nangong Moxi looked at this little face, and recalled the appearance of Nangong Ye in his mind, and when they overlapped, they were so similar.
Nangong Moxi looked at his son for a long time, smiled, pulled his son's quilt up, and went out.
He went to the study again, entered the room, and lit the lamp.The orange light printed his gradually thinning figure, giving people the illusion of warmth.
Before Nangong Moxi sat at the desk, he just sat blankly and didn't know what he was thinking.He blinked, looked up at the candle, laughed at himself after a while, and then brushed the paper and ink, painting quietly.
The painting was only half finished, Nangong Moxi felt upset, rubbed the drawing paper and threw it on the ground, then sat on the chair in a daze, continuing to be in a daze.
The candle burned for a little while, and a long time passed.Nangong Moxi raised his head again, and looked out of the window. The windows of the study room were tightly closed, so there was no ventilation, but he felt cold all over his body.He pulled on a handful of draped clothes and walked towards a locked cabinet.After much hesitation, he took out the key, opened the cabinet door, and took out the box where the piano was hidden.
The ancient Han Bai Yuqin, he almost felt like he had forgotten it.
Nangong Moxi knew what kind of mood Nangong Ye was begging for at that time.He is used to pretending not to know, used to calculating everywhere, he almost lost his sincerity.
Nangong Moxi plucked the strings lightly, and the sound of the piano came to mind, very abrupt in the silent night.Nangong Moxi lay on the piano, carefully thinking about herself over the years.If there is no sincerity, what is it now?
He was always thinking about Nangong Ye, and even killed himself for him.But at this time, he couldn't sleep, the reason for his upset was, if he died, that person would still have support in this world, would he be lonely for the rest of his life?
Just thinking about it like this makes me feel very sad.
He had clearly promised Hua Xiangrong to avenge her, but at this moment he was so upset.
The real idiot, I'm afraid it's me.
Nangong Moxi felt helpless in her heart, sighed lightly, and squatted on Bai Yuqin.He will spend the night in the study today.
He is in the study, Hua Xiangrong is outside the study.A couple, separated by a door, seems to be separated by the Milky Way.
Only then did Hua Xiangrong understand why Nangong Ye was so attached to Nangong Mo Xi, and why the prince was so kind to King Wu.It turned out that she was so redundant as a wife. He thought of what Nangong Ye had said to him, but those words were not meant to him.
Hua Xiangrong felt ashamed and indignant, but felt pitiful for them, she was lost for a while, so she stood with her husband outside the study, and this stop lasted for one night.
The next day, the husband and wife acted as if nothing had happened, said goodbye to each other, Hua Xiangrong asked Nangong Moxi why he didn't stay in the bedroom last night, and thoughtfully made a soup for Nangong Moxi to drink, saying that he was afraid that others would suffer. cold.
As soon as he drank it, he was told that the emperor had urgently called him into the palace.Nangong Moxi thought to himself, what should come will always come, so after tidying himself up, he went to the palace with others.Hua Xiangrong sent people to the door, seeing Nangong Moxi get into the car, she felt even more uneasy.
She took two steps away, asked to wait, then leaned against the window of the car, frowning: "My lord, I only want you to be safe, I can forget about other things."
Nangong Moxi nodded, "Don't worry."
The carriage went all the way to the depths of the imperial city.
Entered the palace and met His Majesty.Nangong Moxi respectfully invited Sheng'an, and waited for a long time, until the emperor asked everyone to retreat before he raised his head, spreading out the momentum he had put away wantonly.
The emperor felt the momentum and leaned towards the man.
"Third brother, are you okay?"
This was the first time Nangong Moxi saw the emperor since he was released from prison.Unexpectedly, his first sentence was this.Nangong Moxi couldn't think of what he was thinking, nodded, and said: "Your Majesty has a good method, and he has taken care of his younger brother, and he has not threatened."
"Third brother, don't say that. The sudden entry of third brother also made me really anxious."
This statement is half true and half false, making it difficult to distinguish.Nangong Moxi said: "Brother Huang, it's not good for the two of us to fight and get others involved."
"I also don't want to get involved with other people, I just blame him, that person is too similar to my father."
Nangong didn't hesitate to stop talking, and turned his head away.
Seeing his obvious impatience, the emperor smiled softly: "I have never met Mr. Bo, but I don't know how similar the third brother is to him. It is very imaginative to think about it."
His words not only insulted Nangong Moxi, but also Nangong Ye, and even the late emperor.Nangong Moxi turned his head and glared: "What Your Majesty wants to say, just say it."
The emperor accepted it when he saw it, straightened his expression, and said, "I want you to help me."
"How to help?"
"I have no choice but to follow my mother's will."
Nangong Moxi understood.This is really a good way, firstly to get rid of Nangong Moxi, and secondly to cause Nangong Ye mutiny, once the two get rid of, he will be safe.Nangong Moxi smiled lowly, "Your Majesty asked my younger brother to help you kill my younger brother? Good idea."
"how?"
Nangong Moxi looked up at Nangong Cheng, this elder brother, he went to school with him since he was a child, and because they were similar in age, they were very good friends when they were young, but the struggle for imperial power alienated their relationship so much.His methods were too ruthless, so ruthless that Nangong Moxi couldn't help but hate him.
"Okay, the king let the minister die, and the minister has to die."
Nangong Moxi suddenly knelt on the ground and gave this elder brother a big gift.What he worshiped was not the emperor, but all the feelings he had for an elder brother in his life.Since then, they have never died.
Nangong Moxi stood up straight after paying respects, "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, I will leave."
He didn't wait for anyone to answer, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Nangong Cheng made a sudden move and hugged him by the waist.Nangong Moxi was taken aback, and quickly fought back. Nangong Shengben had the upper hand, and he had already clamped down on him when he was surprised.
"Nangong Cheng, what are you doing!"
Nangong Moxi felt ashamed and annoyed, shouted angrily, and actually called the emperor by his name directly.He couldn't see the face of the person behind him, only felt that the other person looked at him with malicious intent.
"I love you." As soon as the words came out, Nangong Moxi sneered, but then she heard Nangong Cheng say: "I see your gray hair getting more and more, and my heart really hurts. You are younger than me." How old are you, why is this so?"
The question he asked was not for Nangong Moxi to answer, but to speak out what was in his heart.
Nangong Sheng stretched out his hand to caress Nangong Mo Xibai's temples: "Nangongye made you worry so much, why should you?"
Nangong Moxi's heart trembled: "Your Majesty is talking nonsense!"
"Don't you understand the third brother? If the third brother is not so close to the seventeenth brother, why should I..."
Nangong Moxi laughed loudly: "Your Majesty really hates Seventeen? Could it be that His Majesty wants to tell his younger brother that His Majesty is also like the former emperor?"
Nangong Cheng let go, and took two steps back, a little unbelievable.
Nangong Moxi straightened his clothes and said: "Your Majesty's favorite has always been the throne, and this is the throne that my younger brother cherishes the least."
"The third brother is not rare?"
"It's never rare." He looked at Nangong Cheng with sincerity in his eyes: "Even if the former emperor was crazy and wanted his younger brother to inherit the great rule, his younger brother was unwilling. It's just that your majesty... There is no brotherhood at all, and we only regard our brothers as opponents." Nangong Moxi paused: "Speaking of it, the seventh brother and the ninth brother, they are both your own brothers, so why did they turn against you? If you let them go Come into the imperial city and let them listen to the late emperor's last words, they will only be your loyal ministers and good generals. But you...you forced them to become rebels."
"You said, it's all my fault?"
"Couldn't it be?" Nangong Moxi sighed softly: "The younger brother bowed our friendship just as soon as he bowed. The younger brother will do whatever the emperor asks the younger brother to do, and the younger brother will be obedient again at the end." Courtier."
Nangong Cheng was startled in his heart: "Third brother, you..."
He wanted to reach out to grab Nangong Moxi, but someone hid him, Nangong Moxi said: "Your Majesty respects himself."
"Seventeenth brother is so good?"
"There's nothing good about him being cold-hearted, but he has a heart. That's what His Majesty has lost."
Nangong Moxi finally said this, opened the door and walked out of the hall.The palace people outside the palace did not know where to leave, and the outside was empty.Nangong Moxi slowly walked out of the palace, suddenly, she really wanted to see Nangong Ye, thinking it was the last time in so many years.
He thought that Nangong Ye would leave Beijing after a while, and he might never see him again.Looking at the sunshine on a sunny day, Nangong Moxi smiled slightly, thinking in his heart, let Nangong Ye help him avenge the last revenge.
In this life, people always have to pay back what they owe. Nangong Cheng has to pay back what he owes to him. Nangong Ye has to pay back what he owes Hua Xiangrong. What about what he owes to Nangong Ye?How to pay back.
Nangong Moxi sighed leisurely, letting herself stop thinking about this issue.
Today, he just wanted to take the initiative to meet that person and say something from the bottom of his heart.
In the daytime, we can't find each other and pass by each other, and we meet each other under the long bridge under the moonlight night.
Prince Yu made up his mind to be happy for three days, His Majesty Hui made a decree of three feet of white silk
Nangong Moxi lived in Wuwang Bieyuan for three days, during these three days he would either play the flute or play music, or read and compose pictures.Nangong Ye accompanied him all the time, and sometimes he hugged him on his lap when he went too far, biting the tender flesh on the back of his neck, as if he had succeeded.Nangong Moxi didn't even want to dress properly these few days, and walked around in the warm pavilion wearing a coat every day.He likes to draw various appearances of Nangong Ye, from childhood to adulthood, and then connect these appearances together, calling it the growth history of King Wu.If Nangong Ye is dissatisfied, just give him a hand
Nangong Moxi nodded and let her go.
Just when he was about to enter the mansion, he thought of something, so he pulled the messenger and said, "Do you know what the Empress Dowager is reading?"
"I heard from the imperial physician that I have been thinking about His Royal Highness King Wu."
Nangong Moxi was relieved, it was all right, his mother still believed in him.
After returning to the mansion, Nangong Moxi looked a little bored at the gradually darkening sky, so she finally couldn't help but left the mansion and went to the long bridge.He originally wanted to go to relax, but he didn't want to run into Nangong Ye on the long bridge.The man sat alone on the bridge, and there was a fire in front of him. When he walked in, he found that Nangong Ye was burning paper money.
He counted the days, and it was exactly seven days since Nangong Yu died today.
Nangong Moxi looked at the people under the bridge, saw that people poured wine on the ground, burned all the paper money and did not stand up.A gust of wind blew past, and the burned ashes scattered wantonly.When the paper with fire fell into the water, it was extinguished immediately.
He saw Nangong Ye struggling to stand up, took a sword beside him, and turned his wrist, it was a sword flower.
The chaos of his sword dance is orderly, I am afraid that he has to come here to vent his psychological discomfort.Nangong Moxi saw that this set of sword techniques was Nangong Yu's supreme goodness like water.Nangong Moxi also knows this sword move. It is an extremely benevolent sword technique. It is complicated and beautiful, and it doesn't attack people fatally. If Nangong Yu used this move to confront Nangong Ye that day, it would not Not with murderous intentions.
I saw that Nangong Ye's hand moves changed in vain, Shangshan Ruoshui followed by stepping on the snow to find plums, two completely different sword moves.
Nangong Moxi drew out his sword, jumped forward, and the long sword pierced out in front of him.He came so calmly that Nangong Ye suddenly couldn't resist.This move is rarely used by Nangong Moxi, the real last move of Stepping on the Snow and Seeking Plum Blossoms has nine variations, and each move is aimed at the enemy's vital points.It creates tremendous pressure on people, and it is inevitable for people to avoid it.
Nangong Mo Xifei intended to kill Nangong Ye, so when he aimed at Nangong Ye's throat, his sword stopped.He looked at the cold sweat on Nangong Ye's head, and felt a little unbearable, but he still asked, "Why did you kill Brother Nine?"
Nangong Ye felt as if a pot of cold water was being poured down, and his heart felt so cold.He didn't answer, just stared at Nangong Moxi, and then laughed loudly: "What joke is the third brother talking about, isn't it the third brother who wants to kill Brother Jiuwang? I just obey the third brother's wishes."
"He is no longer a threat. You really humiliated yourself by killing him."
Nangong Ye laughed out loud as if he had heard some big joke in the world. He kicked over the jug on the bridge, and with a bang, the jug fell into the lake, causing the fish to scatter.
"Has this king ever been afraid of anything?"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"It's a joke, what kind of life dares to stand in the way of this king, this king has never been afraid, not even the emperor's life."
Nangong Moxi smiled slightly: "I'm talking about your life."
"My life?" Nangong Ye finally came to his senses, but only for a moment, he laughed wildly again: "Third brother, what joke are you talking about, who can take my life?"
"You yourself." Nangong Moxi spoke very slowly, "What do you think?"
Nangongye took a step forward and moved his neck closer to the point of the sword: "I think it's the third brother."
Nangong Moxi had no choice but to take a step forward, the sword and the flesh fit together, as long as there was a little carelessness, Nangongye's life would end here.
"Does the third brother want to avenge Brother Jiuwang?"
"Why should I avenge him?"
"Then why did the third brother blame me?"
Nangong Mo Xi frowned, as if he couldn't think of any reason.Just as he was about to remove the sword, Nangong Ye grabbed it against his throat with his bare hands: "Third brother, kill me." He held the sword tightly, allowing the blade to cut the flesh on his hand.
Seeing his appearance, Nangong Moxi felt a little scared for some reason, but she didn't dare to move for fear of hurting him.
I just heard him say: "Third brother, if you don't kill me, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that one day you would rather die than obey me. If there is such a time, I would rather die by your hands."
"You... Isn't this just taking your own life?" Nangong Moxi smiled lowly.The wind messed up the strands of hair on his sideburns, allowing people to clearly see that strand of gorgeous hair.Nangong Ye suddenly pounced on him, making Nangong Moxi jump.My heart skipped a beat, and then I was hugged tightly in my arms.
Nangong Ye's blood stained the clothes on the back of Nangong Moxi, and he hugged her tightly as if trying to embed him in his body.Today was Nangong Yu's first seven days, and he felt terrified when he thought that the pale face in his dream had turned into Nangong Moxi.
"Third brother..." He wanted to say that he was afraid, but he couldn't say it, he could only hug him tightly, feel the body temperature of the other person, making him feel that he was still alive.
Nangong Moxi didn't struggle, but only smiled slightly, feeling that the Seventeenth Brother had a deep affection for him.He thought about it carefully, and then whispered in Nangong Ye's ear: "Seventeen, have you ever thought about it, we can't go on this road."
"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Nangong Ye suddenly acted like a wayward child, "I don't care about anything. Brothers can't kill each other, as long as the third brother leaves, I will follow. I don't want anything else, I just want the third brother to be safe and healthy. If I don't have that precious life, and I can't protect the third brother, how can I rest assured down."
This sincere confession is the first time.Nangong Moxi listened in a daze. He always thought that Nangong Ye would act recklessly but had a heart of a child. He never thought that he thought so much about himself.It turned out that he also knew that he had no other strengths besides being born with honor.
Nangong Moxi let out a chuckle and shook his head.
"Why did the third brother shake his head?"
"In the future, we will fight each other. You are trying to keep the Nangong family's country, and I am taking the throne for revenge."
"On the road to Huangquan, I will never let my third brother go alone."
"But you still have considerations. If you follow me, what should the Queen Mother do?"
Nangong Ye tightly pursed his lips and stopped answering. He heard Nangong Moxi say, "Besides, I must have lost. At that time, I will never go with you."
What he said was so clear that it made people feel cold, as if there was no way out.
"I came today to tell you. We have been entangled to this point, and it should be over. Now that we stand on three legs, you have your power, and I have mine, so why bother to do it together. At the beginning, I didn't want you to intervene Among them, I have to..." Nangong Moxi didn't go on, but there was no reason why Nangong Ye didn't understand.He loosened his grip, took a step back, and looked at Nangong Moxi with disbelief in his eyes.
"What did you say?"
"For the sake of the great cause, there is nothing that I cannot give up."
His words were cold, and he completely cut off the relationship with Nangong Ye.
"I'm so infatuated that I wish I could dig out my heart and give it to you."
"You gave me a heart, what's the use, unless it's Nangong Cheng's heart." Nangong Mo Xi looked at him fixedly, "I've always wanted to dig out Nangong Cheng's heart to worship my mother."
Nangong Moxi saw that the other party's face turned pale, so he opened his eyes wide, showing some innocent expression: "If you don't enter this round, I will play with you for now, but if you enter this round, I don't want to play anymore .”
"Third brother lied to me, you must have learned something and kicked me out on purpose."
"If you feel comfortable thinking about it this way, then so be it."
Nangong Moxi turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Nangong Ye, "I won't be deceived again, third brother has always been thinking of me, and I really have no brains if I still can't see it in this situation. You lied to me to stay away , don’t pester you; you lied to me to go back to the fief, and didn’t let me enter Beijing; you thought I set up a trap to lure the seventh brother and the ninth brother, so you set yourself on fire; in order not to damage my reputation, you deliberately contacted the Tai Tuo, and asked the mother to protect me I don't want to get involved in the treasure robbery; now, are you trying to trick me into leaving?" Nangong Ye's voice choked up: "When you look at Yao'er every day, are you thinking of me? Third brother... Just to make you refuse to tell the truth? You always lie and lie to me. You used to hide your life experience to let me stay in the fief with peace of mind and pretend to be at your disposal. Later, you explained to me that it was just to scare me away Me, force me away. You know I misunderstood you, and I never tell the truth. Brother, don’t you forget the past, have you forgotten the third brother? Your hair is gray and your heart is dry, and your heart is bleeding. Can't I feel it? Or does the third brother think that your seventeenth brother is a big fool from beginning to end, and it's not worthy of you to tell the truth?"
The person standing with his back didn't move at all, Nangong Ye continued: "Third Brother, I have done one thing wrong in my life, which is to bully Sister Hua. You blame me, right? You also blame me for being restless Staying in the fiefdom, but came to Beijing to make trouble, and even acted as someone else's executioner to kill the seventh brother and the ninth brother, right? You blame me for becoming more sensitive at this time, and I will no longer be deceived by you, right? That day You are married, what do you want to say to me? Maybe I can get a truth from you at that time, right? "
Nangong Moxi couldn't answer his series of questions, so he clenched his lower lip to prevent the tears from rolling down his eyes.Nangong Ye suddenly let go, and hugged Nangong Moxi from behind: "Third brother, why didn't you answer me?"
"Since you already know, why bother to ask?"
"I just want Brother San to tell the truth."
Nangong Moxi felt the pain in his heart was severe, and his exhausted mind was squeezed even more. He looked at the strand of gorgeous hair beside his temples, and smiled bitterly: "What do you want me to say? I... .." Nangong Moxi thought for a while, then shook his head deeply: "So what if I have a heart for you, you treat me with the heart of a child, but I will be calculating every step of the way, every word I say, everything I do Intention. What do you want me to say?"
Nangong Ye turned the person around, and saw that the pair of phoenix eyes were already flushed. "I just want to ask third brother, when you got married that day, you turned around and called me, if Chu Sheng hadn't interrupted, what were you going to say?"
Nangong Moxi thought about it carefully, and looked into Nangong Ye's eyes: "I want to say..."
"My lord! The Empress Dowager is in a hurry, please enter the palace quickly!"
Xin Zhao got the news, he searched for a long time to find Nangong Ye, the palace is busy at the moment, the imperial doctor diagnosed the Queen Mother as probably sad tonight.Xin Zhao didn't dare to delay at all, and didn't care about what the prince was talking to King Yu, so he had to report loudly, for fear that the prince would miss the last time with his mother, which would be a lifetime regret.
"The Queen Mother is in a hurry!?"
Nangong Ye was shocked, and immediately let go of Nangong Moxi and turned to look over. "Quick, this king is going to enter the palace!" He suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Nangong Moxi again: "Shall third brother go together?"
"I can't go."
"Then, third brother wait for me!"
Nangong Moxi nodded, standing on the long bridge, watching the back of Nangongye riding away on horseback.
One step late to miss the mother's meeting, one step back to win the honor of the emperor
On the way back to the palace, Nangong Ye felt an unspeakable ominous premonition in his heart.Speeding up the horse, reaching the gate of the palace, he went straight to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.Running all the way, I met palace people passing by in a hurry on the road, and seeing them hurrying, the sense of ominousness was even stronger.Before reaching the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the death knell rang.
Nangong Ye stopped suddenly, and looked in the direction where the sound came from. When the surrounding palace people heard the sound, they immediately knelt down and lowered their heads with mournful expressions on their faces.Nangongye's eyes widened, and he ran into the bedroom in big strides after a while.
On the sick bed, the woman who had lived a prosperous life had already closed her eyes, the palace was filled with solemnity, and several palace servants had already burst into tears.Nangong Ye looked at Brother Huang, and saw that the man was also full of grief, and the Empress couldn't stop crying.
This scene was never similar to when the father left.
At that time, their brothers broke into the palace, and heard the death knell before they saw their father, and when they entered the father's palace again, they only saw his face as pale as paper.The emperor's brother mourned, and the third brother next to him wept.Why... he can't see his father for the last time, and now he can't even see his mother for the last time?
Nangong Ye's eyes were astringent, and when he threw himself towards the bed, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't make any sound.He thought about his mother in his heart, and recalled the appearance of many mothers when they were alive, trembling.
He shouldn't, shouldn't have avoided these few days. He should be by her side every day, so that she wouldn't miss him at the last moment.Nangong Ye threw herself on her mother, hating only herself.
How much he thought that she could open her eyes again, how much he thought that she could call himself "Ye'er" pamperingly again.
"Seventeenth brother, why are you here now?"
The queen's voice choked up, and tears fell down one after another. "The queen mother still misses you at the end."
Nangongye turned his head suddenly, and looked at the queen with teary eyes. He wanted to say that he was always one step too late. He wanted to say that his father was thinking of himself when he left.He has a thousand things to say, but he can't say a word.
The empress couldn't bear to see him so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak, so she said: "You don't have to blame yourself in the past, the queen mother's illness has been dragging on for a long time, and now she just can't drag it on." She felt uncomfortable again as she spoke, leaving Turn around and wipe away tears silently.
Nangong Ye nodded, stood up, and let her mother deal with the affairs of the funeral.
"Did the queen give any instructions when she was leaving?"
When he asked like this, everyone only looked at each other, and then at the emperor.
"The queen mother confessed that I will allow you to go back to the fief and be a happy prince for the rest of your life, and never enter the political situation again."
Nangong Ye thought to himself, it was indeed what the queen mother would say, so she nodded without doubting him. "Didn't the queen mother blame me?"
"She loves you the most in her heart. Even if you are at fault, how can she have the heart to blame her? Now he is going to accompany his seventh and ninth brothers, and he only says that he will not let others bully them again."
Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but choked up, and Nangong Ye even couldn't help crying.
"After taking care of the affairs of the queen mother, you will seal the land. Don't go to Beijing again in this life, so that the queen mother won't worry about it."
Nangong Ye didn't answer, just stood there in a daze.
Put away the sadness and wear plain robes.The filial piety clothes on the body are actually much heavier than when the father left.
During this period of time, he just wanted to stay in the palace and spend time with his mother.
Instructed Xin Zhao to go to Changqiao to inform Nangong Moxi, and Xin Zhao came back to inform that there was no one there.Nangong Ye felt a pain in his heart again, now he only felt that the people he cared about had left him.
The queen mother passed away, and the country was mourned.Nangongye begged for grace and personally kept watch.He knelt in front of the main hall with burning paper in his hand.Looking at my mother's memorial tablet, my heart was actually empty.
Five days later, the empress dowager's coffin was brought into the imperial mausoleum.Nangong Ye walked in the front holding the memorial tablet, and the palace people held the banners all the way to the tomb of the former emperor.No one went out on the streets of the capital, and the crying of the ministers could be heard all the way.
After sending the queen mother into the underground palace, Nangong Ye turned around.Seeing Nangong Moxi and Hua Xiangrong who were also wearing plain robes.
The robes were burned in front of the imperial mausoleum, and all funerals were over.
Nangong Moxi looked at Nangong Ye and nodded.Then he picked up Nangong Yao and walked back. The backs of the family of three were so harmonious that those watching couldn't bear to break it.Even though Nangong Ye felt a thousand pains in his heart, there was absolutely nothing he could do at this moment.
"My lord, come back."
Nangong Ye shook his head, "I want to stay here with my father and queen mother for a while longer."
He can't go back to the fief right now, and although he doesn't doubt what his mother said before she died, he can't believe it all.He lost his mother's protection, if the emperor wanted to punish him, wouldn't it be an extremely simple matter?
Brother Twelve is cautious all his life, if Brother Huang wants to deal with him, wouldn't he do it together this time?The third brother is struggling, why not let the emperor catch the handle?What's more, I am so arrogant.Nangong Ye felt terrible when he thought of the various schemes of how his brother got rid of his brother.He thinks he is cold-hearted, and as long as he is happy, he will not care about the affairs of the world, but compared to his brother Huang, he is really far behind.
Now that his mother passed away, Nangong Ye felt that his only worry was gone.
He must get that position, and then protect the third brother well.He could never lose his third brother again.
Nangongye looked at the imperial mausoleum, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground, "Father, don't blame me!" He kowtowed, then stood up and walked towards the palace of the imperial mausoleum.
"Xin Zhao, I want to see that grave." Nangong Ye said as he walked, "Don't let the emperor know."
"promise!"
That night, Nangong Ye walked into the moonlight wearing a black shirt.He followed Xin Zhao to the east of the imperial mausoleum.Before his death, his father said that the emperor and empress must be buried together, and the empress mausoleum in the east is buried with Concubine Yu.
Nangong Ye frowned, feeling that this path was not right.But he didn't ask, just followed behind.When he arrived at Concubine Yu's tomb, Zhao Dao said, "My lord, this is here."
"This is the tomb of Concubine Yu."
Nangongye thought again, could it be that his father buried that man with Concubine Yu.
"They were originally husband and wife, and they were buried in the same cave."
Sure enough.Nangong Ye looked at the empress-sized mausoleum and thought a lot. I don't know what kind of blessing it is for that person to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. It's a pity that there is only Concubine Yu's name on the stele, not the person's last name.
It is really sad to die without a name.
"You said that the suburbs of Beijing were here?"
"Because I dare not talk about the imperial mausoleum, please forgive me!" Xin Zhao knelt down.Nangong Ye didn't know how to take care of him, so he asked people to get up.After thinking about it, he knelt down in front of the mausoleum.He has a lot to say, a lot of apologies he wants to say, but he can't say it in his heart.Nangong Ye could understand his father's intentions, but he felt deeply sorry for the couple in the tomb.
If it weren't for the Royal Father, how would you...
Thinking about it, Nangong Ye kowtowed three times, and only hoped that you would forgive me and the third brother.
He and the third brother have nothing to rely on at this time, they can only rely on themselves.
Nangong Ye bit her lip, calmed down and stood up.He had no intention of inquiring into his father's privacy, so he did not ask Nangong Mo Xi's biological father's name.He stood for a while, then let Xin Zhao lead him back.
It took another seven days to live in front of the mausoleum. After seven days, Nangong returned to the palace at night and paid homage to the emperor.
He knew very well that the emperor was staring at him closely at this time, so he was much more docile, like Mo Xi when he entered the palace.
After leaving the palace and passing Tianxianju, Nangongye asked about the boss again, and the shop assistant still gave the same answer as last time.Now, the emperor ordered him to return to the fief within three days, and he wanted to delay it for three days.
Someone was sent to check the background of the boss of Xianju that day, and more hidden stakes were set up.He thought it over, after going back this time, the next time we meet will be a battle between the emperors, a life-and-death situation.
The people sent out came back, Xin Zhao led the people in to report back, Nangong Ye was a little surprised when he heard it.
"A faction in the rivers and lakes, how did it get involved in the government?"
"My lord, I, Dahui, relied on the forces of Jianghu to build the dynasty. It would be difficult for them to infiltrate the court."
Nangong Ye nodded, thinking about it was right.
"Your Majesty's methods of winning people's hearts are top-notch. It is not impossible to have the help of green forest masters secretly."
Nangongye shook his head, "I don't think it's that simple."
He always felt in his heart that if the boss of Xianju belonged to Brother Huang that day, it would be too obvious, and he always felt that there was a force behind him.Wait, Nangong Ye suddenly thought, if he didn't help Nangong Moxi, where would he get the soldiers to carry out the coup?
No, he was naturally helped by Beichan's sentence, and he also said at that time that he had the Tiger Talisman of the Imperial Forest Army in his hand.
Nangong Ye felt that Nangong Moxi would not use Beichan's troops without authorization, and he would not be collaborating with the enemy and treason, but relying only on the Imperial Forest Army, isn't it too much of a joke?
At this time, he thought of the mysterious man in Tianxianju.Although the Jianghu people are no better than the army and cannot march and form an army, but with the help of magic skills, it is still easy to take the head of someone inadvertently.At that time, the imperial forest army suddenly mutinied, and the emperor's brother would not be able to react.Thinking about it this way, Nangong Ye felt that that person was more like the third brother's hidden stake.
He smiled: "It's not a bad job."
Xin Zhao asked people to retreat, seeing Nangong Ye's relaxed expression, he was puzzled: "My lord doesn't think it's a threat."
Nangong Ye shook his head: "No. It's just that we don't have the energy to take care of this right now. Let's prepare a bit. We'll go back to the fief in three days."
Zhao Dao said yes, then suddenly thought of something and turned around: "My lord, you should be more careful, lord Yu."
"This king knows it well."
Sooner or later, he and his third brother will confront each other head-on, and what he is fighting now is this time difference.If he raised the army first, what would his third brother do?Help the emperor?help yourself?He couldn't figure it out.Nangong Ye has always been passive, but now, he wants to take the initiative.
When are you going to see the third brother?
As long as he thought about it like this, Nangong Ye couldn't bear it anymore.He thought about that day on the long bridge, Nangong Moxi seemed to be about to tell the truth but was interrupted by Zhao Xin.
Going to ask this sentence.
He turned around and went out, heading towards Prince Yu's mansion.But as soon as I got in the car, I felt that this was really abrupt. After thinking about it, I asked people to go to the long bridge.He originally wanted to try his luck to see if he could meet the third brother here, but now it seems that there is no such fate.
The long bridge was empty, and he walked up the bridge step by step, watching the koi in the lake spit bubbles, and smiled.
"Third brother, third brother, I'm so curious, what will you tell me?"
Mo Xiye stood up and confronted Bai Yuqin, His Majesty forced him to face up to his heart
Nangong Moxi went back to the mansion that day and was sick, Hua Xiangrong was also very worried because the emperor didn't let her see the queen mother before the queen mother left, so she didn't have time to say a lot.She didn't know what the queen mother's last words were, and seeing Nangong Moxi's recent depression made her even more worried.
And Nangong Moxi's contacts had already told him that the Empress Dowager's real order was for the emperor to dispose of Prince Yu.He had expected it a long time ago and was not surprised, he just didn't understand what the emperor thought.I heard that he was pleading for himself at that time, if he didn't do it for others to see, then he had other ideas.
This day and night, Nangong Moxi couldn't sleep, seeing that Hua Xiangrong had already fallen asleep, she got out of bed.He was sitting at the table in the bedroom, looking at the table and wondering what he was thinking.After a while, Nangong Moxi stood up, walked out the door, and headed towards the study.
Now the snow has melted, and it is very cold.Nangong Moxi wore a coat and went to the study.
Passing by the long bridge in the backyard of the mansion, he paused slightly, thinking of Nangong Ye's persecution on the long bridge that day, his heart sank heavily.He was almost forced to speak the truth.
Biting his lips, to wake himself up from the pain, he went to the study again, thinking about Nangong Ye's appearance from childhood to adulthood, he groaned, turned around, and headed for Yao'er's room.
Gently pushing open the door, Yao'er on the bed was sleeping very peacefully, with a smile on her little face.Nangong Moxi looked at this little face, and recalled the appearance of Nangong Ye in his mind, and when they overlapped, they were so similar.
Nangong Moxi looked at his son for a long time, smiled, pulled his son's quilt up, and went out.
He went to the study again, entered the room, and lit the lamp.The orange light printed his gradually thinning figure, giving people the illusion of warmth.
Before Nangong Moxi sat at the desk, he just sat blankly and didn't know what he was thinking.He blinked, looked up at the candle, laughed at himself after a while, and then brushed the paper and ink, painting quietly.
The painting was only half finished, Nangong Moxi felt upset, rubbed the drawing paper and threw it on the ground, then sat on the chair in a daze, continuing to be in a daze.
The candle burned for a little while, and a long time passed.Nangong Moxi raised his head again, and looked out of the window. The windows of the study room were tightly closed, so there was no ventilation, but he felt cold all over his body.He pulled on a handful of draped clothes and walked towards a locked cabinet.After much hesitation, he took out the key, opened the cabinet door, and took out the box where the piano was hidden.
The ancient Han Bai Yuqin, he almost felt like he had forgotten it.
Nangong Moxi knew what kind of mood Nangong Ye was begging for at that time.He is used to pretending not to know, used to calculating everywhere, he almost lost his sincerity.
Nangong Moxi plucked the strings lightly, and the sound of the piano came to mind, very abrupt in the silent night.Nangong Moxi lay on the piano, carefully thinking about herself over the years.If there is no sincerity, what is it now?
He was always thinking about Nangong Ye, and even killed himself for him.But at this time, he couldn't sleep, the reason for his upset was, if he died, that person would still have support in this world, would he be lonely for the rest of his life?
Just thinking about it like this makes me feel very sad.
He had clearly promised Hua Xiangrong to avenge her, but at this moment he was so upset.
The real idiot, I'm afraid it's me.
Nangong Moxi felt helpless in her heart, sighed lightly, and squatted on Bai Yuqin.He will spend the night in the study today.
He is in the study, Hua Xiangrong is outside the study.A couple, separated by a door, seems to be separated by the Milky Way.
Only then did Hua Xiangrong understand why Nangong Ye was so attached to Nangong Mo Xi, and why the prince was so kind to King Wu.It turned out that she was so redundant as a wife. He thought of what Nangong Ye had said to him, but those words were not meant to him.
Hua Xiangrong felt ashamed and indignant, but felt pitiful for them, she was lost for a while, so she stood with her husband outside the study, and this stop lasted for one night.
The next day, the husband and wife acted as if nothing had happened, said goodbye to each other, Hua Xiangrong asked Nangong Moxi why he didn't stay in the bedroom last night, and thoughtfully made a soup for Nangong Moxi to drink, saying that he was afraid that others would suffer. cold.
As soon as he drank it, he was told that the emperor had urgently called him into the palace.Nangong Moxi thought to himself, what should come will always come, so after tidying himself up, he went to the palace with others.Hua Xiangrong sent people to the door, seeing Nangong Moxi get into the car, she felt even more uneasy.
She took two steps away, asked to wait, then leaned against the window of the car, frowning: "My lord, I only want you to be safe, I can forget about other things."
Nangong Moxi nodded, "Don't worry."
The carriage went all the way to the depths of the imperial city.
Entered the palace and met His Majesty.Nangong Moxi respectfully invited Sheng'an, and waited for a long time, until the emperor asked everyone to retreat before he raised his head, spreading out the momentum he had put away wantonly.
The emperor felt the momentum and leaned towards the man.
"Third brother, are you okay?"
This was the first time Nangong Moxi saw the emperor since he was released from prison.Unexpectedly, his first sentence was this.Nangong Moxi couldn't think of what he was thinking, nodded, and said: "Your Majesty has a good method, and he has taken care of his younger brother, and he has not threatened."
"Third brother, don't say that. The sudden entry of third brother also made me really anxious."
This statement is half true and half false, making it difficult to distinguish.Nangong Moxi said: "Brother Huang, it's not good for the two of us to fight and get others involved."
"I also don't want to get involved with other people, I just blame him, that person is too similar to my father."
Nangong didn't hesitate to stop talking, and turned his head away.
Seeing his obvious impatience, the emperor smiled softly: "I have never met Mr. Bo, but I don't know how similar the third brother is to him. It is very imaginative to think about it."
His words not only insulted Nangong Moxi, but also Nangong Ye, and even the late emperor.Nangong Moxi turned his head and glared: "What Your Majesty wants to say, just say it."
The emperor accepted it when he saw it, straightened his expression, and said, "I want you to help me."
"How to help?"
"I have no choice but to follow my mother's will."
Nangong Moxi understood.This is really a good way, firstly to get rid of Nangong Moxi, and secondly to cause Nangong Ye mutiny, once the two get rid of, he will be safe.Nangong Moxi smiled lowly, "Your Majesty asked my younger brother to help you kill my younger brother? Good idea."
"how?"
Nangong Moxi looked up at Nangong Cheng, this elder brother, he went to school with him since he was a child, and because they were similar in age, they were very good friends when they were young, but the struggle for imperial power alienated their relationship so much.His methods were too ruthless, so ruthless that Nangong Moxi couldn't help but hate him.
"Okay, the king let the minister die, and the minister has to die."
Nangong Moxi suddenly knelt on the ground and gave this elder brother a big gift.What he worshiped was not the emperor, but all the feelings he had for an elder brother in his life.Since then, they have never died.
Nangong Moxi stood up straight after paying respects, "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, I will leave."
He didn't wait for anyone to answer, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Nangong Cheng made a sudden move and hugged him by the waist.Nangong Moxi was taken aback, and quickly fought back. Nangong Shengben had the upper hand, and he had already clamped down on him when he was surprised.
"Nangong Cheng, what are you doing!"
Nangong Moxi felt ashamed and annoyed, shouted angrily, and actually called the emperor by his name directly.He couldn't see the face of the person behind him, only felt that the other person looked at him with malicious intent.
"I love you." As soon as the words came out, Nangong Moxi sneered, but then she heard Nangong Cheng say: "I see your gray hair getting more and more, and my heart really hurts. You are younger than me." How old are you, why is this so?"
The question he asked was not for Nangong Moxi to answer, but to speak out what was in his heart.
Nangong Sheng stretched out his hand to caress Nangong Mo Xibai's temples: "Nangongye made you worry so much, why should you?"
Nangong Moxi's heart trembled: "Your Majesty is talking nonsense!"
"Don't you understand the third brother? If the third brother is not so close to the seventeenth brother, why should I..."
Nangong Moxi laughed loudly: "Your Majesty really hates Seventeen? Could it be that His Majesty wants to tell his younger brother that His Majesty is also like the former emperor?"
Nangong Cheng let go, and took two steps back, a little unbelievable.
Nangong Moxi straightened his clothes and said: "Your Majesty's favorite has always been the throne, and this is the throne that my younger brother cherishes the least."
"The third brother is not rare?"
"It's never rare." He looked at Nangong Cheng with sincerity in his eyes: "Even if the former emperor was crazy and wanted his younger brother to inherit the great rule, his younger brother was unwilling. It's just that your majesty... There is no brotherhood at all, and we only regard our brothers as opponents." Nangong Moxi paused: "Speaking of it, the seventh brother and the ninth brother, they are both your own brothers, so why did they turn against you? If you let them go Come into the imperial city and let them listen to the late emperor's last words, they will only be your loyal ministers and good generals. But you...you forced them to become rebels."
"You said, it's all my fault?"
"Couldn't it be?" Nangong Moxi sighed softly: "The younger brother bowed our friendship just as soon as he bowed. The younger brother will do whatever the emperor asks the younger brother to do, and the younger brother will be obedient again at the end." Courtier."
Nangong Cheng was startled in his heart: "Third brother, you..."
He wanted to reach out to grab Nangong Moxi, but someone hid him, Nangong Moxi said: "Your Majesty respects himself."
"Seventeenth brother is so good?"
"There's nothing good about him being cold-hearted, but he has a heart. That's what His Majesty has lost."
Nangong Moxi finally said this, opened the door and walked out of the hall.The palace people outside the palace did not know where to leave, and the outside was empty.Nangong Moxi slowly walked out of the palace, suddenly, she really wanted to see Nangong Ye, thinking it was the last time in so many years.
He thought that Nangong Ye would leave Beijing after a while, and he might never see him again.Looking at the sunshine on a sunny day, Nangong Moxi smiled slightly, thinking in his heart, let Nangong Ye help him avenge the last revenge.
In this life, people always have to pay back what they owe. Nangong Cheng has to pay back what he owes to him. Nangong Ye has to pay back what he owes Hua Xiangrong. What about what he owes to Nangong Ye?How to pay back.
Nangong Moxi sighed leisurely, letting herself stop thinking about this issue.
Today, he just wanted to take the initiative to meet that person and say something from the bottom of his heart.
In the daytime, we can't find each other and pass by each other, and we meet each other under the long bridge under the moonlight night.
Prince Yu made up his mind to be happy for three days, His Majesty Hui made a decree of three feet of white silk
Nangong Moxi lived in Wuwang Bieyuan for three days, during these three days he would either play the flute or play music, or read and compose pictures.Nangong Ye accompanied him all the time, and sometimes he hugged him on his lap when he went too far, biting the tender flesh on the back of his neck, as if he had succeeded.Nangong Moxi didn't even want to dress properly these few days, and walked around in the warm pavilion wearing a coat every day.He likes to draw various appearances of Nangong Ye, from childhood to adulthood, and then connect these appearances together, calling it the growth history of King Wu.If Nangong Ye is dissatisfied, just give him a hand
