Chapter 1195 501 Prince

The fifth prince did not want to return to the palace.

The leader of the guards in front of him was obviously very embarrassed and was trying to persuade him. At this moment, the voice of the servants saluting came from outside the house, and Nangong Mu strode in.

Nangong Mu had just returned from the National Children's Prison. As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard that his son Nangong Xin was injured to save the fifth prince. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and the imperial physician had already seen it.

Although he knew that his son was fine, Nangong Mu was still uneasy in his heart. He didn't relax until the moment he saw Nangong Xin with his own eyes. The bloody scene when my son fell from the rockery when he was young came to mind again. If there is an emergency for his son, how can his family bear it!

"See His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." Nangong Mu calmed down and bowed to Han Lingfan first.

Han Lingfan didn't dare to look directly into Nangong Mu's eyes, and said indifferently, "Lord Nangong excuses the ceremony."

Just before Nangong Mu entered the house, he heard the conversation between the leader of the imperial guard and the fifth prince, so he respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, listen to the minister's words. Your Highness staying in the Nangong Mansion will only make the Emperor worry and distract from His Highness; Furthermore, even if Your Highness stays, it will not help."

Of course Han Lingfan understood, but A Xin was injured because of him, so how could he leave A Xin and return to the palace alone!

"Cousin Fan!" Fu Yunyan and Han Lingfan were cousins, so they didn't have so much scruples, and glared at him and said, "A Xin wants to go back to the inner hospital to recover, what are you doing here?! If you are really sorry Why don't you go back to the palace and ask the emperor to find out the real murderer behind the scenes! Otherwise, A Xin will be hurt in vain!"

Han Lingfan showed a thoughtful expression, and for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Priorities should be prioritized, and people should have a clear division of labor and perform their duties.

Staying in the Nangong Mansion alone can't help A Xin, it's just a burden, but if I go back to the palace, I can do more things...

"Lord Nangong, cousin Liu Niang, what you said is true." Han Lingfan clasped his fists carefully and said, "Ben Gong will definitely try his best to find the real murderer behind the scenes!"

The leader of the imperial guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"A Xin, then Ben Gong will come to see you tomorrow....Lord Nangong, cousin Liu Niang, Ben Gong will say goodbye first."

Han Lingfan said goodbye to them one by one, and then, escorted by the imperial guards, he left in a mighty manner.

The assassination of the fifth prince made Emperor Lei Ting furious, and he first ordered the Yin of Jingzhao to investigate quickly, and then ordered Jin Yiwei to cooperate with Wucheng soldiers and Masi to search for suspicious people throughout the city.

The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture went to do it with trepidation.

However, the assassin was dead, and there was no evidence of his death. Witnesses that day only saw the assassin appear suddenly, and if they tried to trace where the assassin had been before, there was nothing to see.

The governor of Jingzhao was not stupid. He naturally guessed that the assassin should be a well-trained dead man. Thinking of the recent mention of the Prince Li in the court, coupled with the emperor's adult princes... Jing Zhao Fu Yin only felt that this difference was very difficult to handle, but he couldn't say some words, he could only make an appearance of trying to investigate the case.

The people of Wangdu basically didn't know what happened. They only saw that in the blink of an eye, it was like a sudden change in the sky. Wangdu suddenly entered the entire city under martial law. Officers and soldiers and Jinyiwei were patrolling everywhere in the streets and alleys. ...for a time, the city was full of turmoil, and the people were all in danger, and they did not dare to interact with strangers casually, lest they would be implicated in the guilt of an accomplice.

Xungui's mansion was much more sensitive, so Nangong Mansion received several invitations in a row, all in the name of visiting Nangong Xin, but all the invitations were returned one by one, Nangong Mansion directly closed the door to thank guests and declined all visits. , even in-laws are no exception.

This made many people disappointed, but there were also many people who were sharp-minded and could not help but secretly admire: This Nangong Mansion is indeed a century-old family. This time, Nangong Xin rescued the future prince, and the empress will definitely take this credit.

The day was spent in a hustle and bustle.

That night, in the imperial study, the lights remained on all night.

The emperor was a little disappointed.

After hearing that the fifth prince was assassinated, he was shocked and angry, but when he calmed down, he couldn't help thinking a lot.

Xiao Wu is just a prince, a prince who has not yet opened a palace. Who is he in the way, who would want to go to great lengths to assassinate him?

An answer could not help but emerge in the emperor's mind.

Xiao Wu was born with fetal poison. He was weak and stumbled when he was a child. He almost died of poisoning that year. It was so hard to raise him to such a large age. First, he was shocked by the horse, almost fell from the horse, and then was assassinated... Among his children, it seems that only this son-in-law will always suffer so many disasters.

Yes, Xiao Wu is the direct son, especially since his health has gotten better over the years, and the court has mentioned Prince Li several times.

Therefore, his children couldn't bear it anymore... Can't he even care about the brotherhood that blood is thicker than water?

The emperor shuddered. For some reason, he felt that the imperial study was really cold.

This time Xiao Wu was fine, which really made him happy, but because Xiao Wu was fine, he was a little scared, afraid of knowing the truth.

He had only four sons in total, and he still remembered how each of them was still in swaddling, remembered how they looked when they were only a little older and softly called "Father Emperor", still remembered how he held their hands and taught him The way they wrote... He didn't want to, nor did he want to admit that his son would be so cruel.

The emperor let out a long sigh, looking tired.

Eunuch Liu, who was waiting on the side, quietly stepped forward and exchanged a cup of hot tea for the emperor.

Eunuch Liu stayed by the emperor's side for the longest time and understood the emperor's thoughts best. Even if the poisoning of the queen mother last year, it was later found out that the eldest prince and his son did it, but because there was no evidence, the emperor did not investigate it further, and just left the eldest prince in the cold. That's it.

He served a relentless emperor.

"Huairen." The emperor said suddenly, "Maybe it's time for me to decide on the prince."

Eunuch Liu dared to respond to the matter of the court, and he laughed twice at the side.

The emperor didn't expect him to come up with any ideas. He seemed to be persuading himself by saying: "After the prince has been appointed, after the separation of monarch and ministers, these children will surely be safe..." He narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself. He said, "Xiao Wu is also old, it's time for him to learn to be a director of the previous dynasty... Let's choose a powerful in-law for Xiao Wu... Actually, the Nangong family is not bad, but unfortunately, all the girls in the Nangong family seem to have engaged in marriage. already."

Speaking of this, the emperor had some lingering fears, "A Xin is also a good boy, thanks to him today..."

Eunuch Liu said in harmony, "This is also the celestial aspect of the Fifth Highness Jiren."

The emperor fell silent, the imperial study room was quiet, only the lights were beating slightly, after an unknown time, the emperor finally opened his mouth and said: "Huairen, go to Nangong Mansion tomorrow morning, and pass an imperial decree on my behalf... …”

Eunuch Liu bowed and replied, "The servants obey the order."

The emperor stayed up all night, rubbed his forehead tiredly, and asked, "What time is it now?"

Eunuch Liu looked at the engraving, "...Your Majesty, it's half an hour."

Mao Shi is the morning time.

Early in the morning, all officials knew that the emperor was in a bad mood. Except for some important things, he would not play other things if he could not play. Therefore, Zao disbanded quickly.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Eunuch Liu immediately went to Nangong Mansion.

Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu heard the news and rushed back from the yamen.

Liu Gongzheng was accompanied by Nangong Sheng and served tea. After the whole house was assembled and the incense case was prepared, he announced the decree:

"Fengtian, the emperor decreed: Fu, the wife of the second son of the Nangong Mansion, is smart and agile, dignified and virtuous, prudent in heart, sensitive in temperament, resourceful, courteous, graceful and graceful, graceful and graceful, restrained in inner softness, and pure and pure. Specially named Zhengsanpin County King, and titled Kaiyang. Appreciate this!"

The will that Eunuch Liu announced was confusing.

It was Nangong Xin who rescued the fifth prince yesterday, but he rewarded Fu Yunyan, not gold and silver jewelry, but a very rare title. You must know that the title of Dayu is rare, and even the daughter of the prince can only be named the princess when she gets married.

Fu Yunyan's expression was a little subtle, she listened to the decree silently, and respectfully took the decree with her hands raised above her head: "The minister's wife, thank the Lord Longen!"

Fu Yunyan handed the imperial decree to the maid next to her to hold, and helped Lin to stand up. Madam Liu quietly stuffed a red envelope with Eunuch Liu, and smiled and sent the servant who came to pass the decree away.

After receiving the decree, the people from each room dispersed, and Nangong Mu, Lin Shi and Fu Yunyan went to Nangong Xin's place together.

Nangong Xin was unable to accept the order due to her injury, but the news of Fu Yunyan being appointed as a county magistrate just now spread throughout the Nangong Mansion, and naturally someone ran to inform him.

Nangong Xin, who was sitting on the bed, looked a little haggard. After bowing to her parents, she held Fu Yunyan's hand in a joyful way, and said, "Liu Niang! You are the county ruler."

Lin Shi was very happy when he saw this pair of beautiful people.

Her son has grown up and has a family, and it will only get better in the future... Thinking of the past, her eyes were a little sore, but she didn't want her family to see the abnormality, so she took a deep breath and calmed down.

There was no joy on Fu Yunyan's face, and she said sullenly, "It must be because you saved the fifth cousin, Axin, that the royal uncle gave me a county king."

Nangong Xin thought for a while and said, "But the emperor would never just use the title as a reward..."

"No, it should be like this." Nangong Mu suddenly sighed and said slightly disappointed, "...A Xin, you have to be mentally prepared, what happened yesterday may end up being a thing of the past."

Seeing that the eyes of the three of Lin's family were all focused on him, Nangong Mu explained to them in detail: "Although A Xin saved the fifth prince this time, he was not seriously injured, so it is reasonable for the emperor to reward him with some gold and silver. , but gave Liu Niang a county king. The children of our Nangong Mansion have always been from the imperial examination, and Axin Jinke will also end. Mengen is a great grace to the Xungui Mansion, but to our Nangong Mansion The government is a bit nondescript, if Axin gets the grace, will he still need the imperial examination? How will he go about his career in the future? So the emperor gave this grace to Liu Niang."

He paused and said with a wry smile: "The emperor's grace is not equal to A Xin's contribution, which means that the emperor may not give A Xin justice. That's why he will give Liu Niang a county king. As a compensation."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to investigate?" Nangong Xin asked with wide eyes, "Won't it be very dangerous for the Fifth Highness in the future?"

Nangong Mu was slightly startled, thinking that his son might not be convinced, but unexpectedly, he was worried about the fifth prince instead.

Faced with Nangong Xin's worried eyes, Nangong Mu followed up and said, "The emperor will definitely check, but he will not go into details until he has pointed it out. After all, no matter who did this, once it is exposed, it will be Even the emperor can't keep him."

The emperor loves the fifth prince, and also loves other sons, so he wants to be with the mud.

"That's good." Nangong Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and a relieved smile appeared on his face again, "As long as the emperor finds out who the real murderer is behind the scenes, His Royal Highness will be safe."

Nangong Mu patted the back of his hand, even though A Xin's illness has recovered, his heart is still the same pure.

It's just that the children of the Nangong family are going to enter the official career sooner or later. For A Xin, this is also an opportunity for him to learn, so that he understands that the officialdom is not just the words "black" and "white". Therefore, Nangong Mu will explain and teach carefully.

"Father, mother, A Xin." The more Fu Yunyan understood the emperor's intentions, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he said gloomily, "I don't want this county prince."

"Liu Niang." Nangong Mu said solemnly, "Thunder and rain are all your kindness."

If this county lord does not accept it, it will only make the emperor think that their Nangong family has complaints about this matter. In this way, the emperor's guilt towards A Xin will not only disappear, but he will also feel that he does not know what to do.

Fu Yunyan stood up, bowed and said, "Daughter-in-law inherits the training."

Nangong Mu comforted his wife and children again, and told his wife not to spread the news of Nangong Xin's injury to Nanjiang, so as not to worry about Nangong Yue. Nanjiang and the capital are thousands of miles apart. No matter how worried she is, Nangong Yue will not be able to come back, it will only make her uneasy.

Then, Nangong Mu went to the outer courtyard. This matter was about Nangong Mansion, and he still needed to discuss with Nangong Qin Haosheng.

The news that Fu Yunyan was granted the title of county king spread in the capital on the same day, but the Nangong family still closed the door to thank the guests with Nangong Xin's serious injury, and no one could find out the news from their house.

The whole king was overcast, and the emperor gave Jin Yiwei commander Shi Lu Huaining a secret order, ordering him to give himself a result within ten days, and then called Xuan Pingbo into the imperial study.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Pingbo invited Han Lingfan, the fifth son of the emperor, to be the crown prince.

Over the past few years, every three chapters and five times, a memorial to the crown prince has been submitted, so everyone did not think that Xuanping's memorial would be different, thinking that it would be suppressed as usual, but I didn't expect...

In the Golden Palace, the emperor's voice said loudly: "Present."

Full of uproar!

...

The chaos of the royal capital has not affected the southern border, which is thousands of miles away, for the time being.

At half past nine, when it was still early, Nangong Yue woke up, raised her hand and shook the small copper bell beside the bed.

When Baihui and Queer heard the movement in the inner room, they immediately walked in with the new clothes they had prepared.

Today is the birthday of the King of Zhennan. As the concubine of the prince, Nangong Yue naturally has to dress formally and festively. She specially chose a Shu brocade robe with a peony pattern with engraved gold buttons. Pulling a bun that fell off the horse, wearing five phoenixes, chaoyang, pearls and golden phoenixes, it seems that he is bright, elegant and generous.

Nangong Yue had just finished dressing up when Xiao Fei came.

She was wearing a long satin long robe in primrose yellow today. She put on light makeup on her little face, which was usually not made of grease. She was elegant and beautiful. Impressive.

Nangong Yue greeted Xiao Fei to have breakfast together, and went to Guipu Hall, the main hall in the inner courtyard of the palace, to welcome the guests.

In the past, Nangong Yue's small banquet and wedding ceremony were held in the name of Bixiaotang, and this welcome was also from the east street gate of Bixiaotang, but today is different, because it is the 40th birthday of Zhennan King, so the palace is open to welcome you. Bing.

At this moment, more than a dozen vermilion lacquer fans and the windows on both sides of Guipu Hall are all open, bright and transparent.

For today's birthday banquet, Guipu Hall has been rearranged long ago. The master seat at the top is still two red sandalwood Taishi chairs. The chairs on both sides of the hall have been replaced by rosewood carved wreath chairs. In the corners are a pair of green enamel paintings. A large bottle with tangled branches, and a red wool carpet in the center of the marble floor. It is not luxurious, but it is extraordinary.

Not long after Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei arrived at Guipu Hall, Mrs. Wei and the fifth girl Xiao Rongyu also came.

Mrs. Wei has also been carefully dressed up today. She is dressed in ginger-yellow brocade pattern, hanging around her feet and wrapping flowers, holding a regular crescent moon bun, wearing a pearl hairpin on her head, and a fresh magnolia flower on her temples. , elegant and decent, but not aggressive enough to steal Nangong Yue's style.

Xiao Rongyu combed two round wad heads, very cute, wearing a rose-colored round-neck thin forged robe, wearing a golden necklace around her neck, and a white jade lock hanging on her chest following her. Her movement wobbled slightly.

"Prince Concubine, eldest girl." Mrs. Wei smiled slightly, and greeted Nangong Yue and Xiao Feifu carefully.

After that, Xiao Rongyu was also blessed with a decent body, and said with a hearty voice, "Eldest sister-in-law's peace, elder sister's peace."

Seeing the innocent and cute female doll always makes people feel better, Nangong Yue smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Yu."

The little girl's intuition was the sharpest and purest. She immediately felt Nangong Yue's kindness and smiled even sweeter.

Nangong Yue said again with a smile, "Sister Yu, do you like Mr. Li's lessons for you these two days?"

A few days ago, King Zhennan instructed Nangongyue to help Xiao Rongyu find a female gentleman. Nangongyue asked Mrs. Tian to help introduce a Mr. Li who had enlightened the Tian family girl before. She has been teaching Xiao Rongyu since the day before yesterday. Two days of classes. However, Xiao Rongyu is still young after all, in fact, she just picks one hour a day to read with her husband.

Xiao Rongyu nodded vigorously: "Sister-in-law, Mr. is very good. The past two days Mr. is teaching me to read "Qionglin Preschool"..."

Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Could it be that Sister Yu could memorize a few sentences for me?"

Xiao Rongyu hurriedly put her hands behind her back, and said in a milky voice: "The chaos begins, and the universe begins to build. The light and clear qi floats up to the sky, the heavy and turbid qi condenses and condenses the earth... The gentleman in the back has not yet teach."

Nangong Yue patted her head a little itchy and said, "Sister Yu's back is really good."

Xiao Rongyu smiled happily, revealing the pear vortex on her cheek.

Wei shi looked at Xiao Rongyu with a smile. She asked Mammy to observe carefully when Mr. Li was teaching, and she had a good impression of Mr. Li. The first half of Mr. Li's life was not very good. After getting married, her husband died early and left behind an only son. Finally, the only son was admitted to Juren, but unfortunately died of illness. She brought up two grandchildren. Now the eldest grandson has become a scholar, so it can be seen that This Mr. Li is very good at raising children. Although Mr. Li's life was not very smooth, he didn't blame others, he was wise and cautious... Compared with that Ye Yili, it was a world of difference!

The daughter is enlightened and taught by this Mr. Li, and she will definitely benefit a lot.

Wei's heart was even more grateful to Nangong Yue. After they chatted for a while, several other girls from the Xiao family came one after another, and they all stayed in Guipu Hall waiting to welcome the guests.

At an instant, a little maid wearing a blue-green dark-patterned Beizi came running, and said, "Prince Prince, Grandma and Grandma Qiao are here."

Everyone in the hall was a little surprised. The time was written on the post sent by the palace. I didn't expect Mrs. Qiao to come so early.

Wei's expression on the side was condensed, and he glanced at Nangong Yue worriedly.

A few days ago, after Qiao Ruolan came to the palace, she was almost sent by the prince to the Mingqing Temple when she returned. It was Mrs. Qiao who said something and changed the Mingqing Temple into the Shuyao Women's Court. Today is a big day. Ordinary people naturally dare not have trouble on such a day, but they can't measure this great aunt by the standard of ordinary people.

Nangong Yue drank tea calmly and calmly, and the calm look of the clouds calmed Wei's heart.
