A thousand sails pass by the side of the sinking boat
Hearing this, Nangong Jingnu's eyes lit up, as if she saw some possibility. But then it quickly dimmed and said in a low voice: "But since ancient times there has been no precedent for an empress. Now the fifth and third brothers have assembled a group of forces in the court, and although I sit behind the scenes, there is no single soldier. …”
Qi Yan smiled weakly and comforted: "Whoever said no, this minister is His Highness's most solid strength in the court."
Nangong Jingnu twitched the corners of her mouth, Qi Yan's comfort seemed to have no effect.
The latter continued: "I think Your Highness doesn't have to think too much, after all, there are some things that His Highness can't decide, such as the matter of the Empress... This is something His Majesty should worry about. Since he has kept His Highness behind the scenes until the right time When you are mature, you must have a way to overcome all the opinions and help His Highness to that position. What His Highness should do now is to seize the opportunity and fulfill the request of a ruler as soon as possible. Your Highness does not need to worry too much about the affairs of the court. When the test taker enters the court, everything will be different."
Nangong Jingnu felt better now, these things had been in her heart for too long, and it felt good to have someone come out to share.
Seeing that Qi Yan's mental state was still good, she continued to ask, "There is something that has puzzled me for a long time, and I would like to hear your opinion."
Qi Yan: "Your Highness, please speak."
Nangong Jingnv: "Excluding the eldest prince, the second brother and the fourth brother Bengong still have five brothers, why did the royal father choose me?"
Qi Yan has thought about this question for a long time, but she is not Nangong Rang, so she can only express her understanding cautiously: "I dare to infer that there are three aspects to consider when Your Majesty's decision. The only direct descendant of the royal family, if His Royal Highness is a man, he must be the best choice for the crown prince. Second, among the remaining five princes, the eighth and the ninth are too young to see the heat. The remaining princes... "Speaking of this Qi Yan stopped, wondering if he should continue talking.
From an emotional point of view, Qi Yan does not want Nangong Jingnv to be the goddess, because the emperor who wants to overthrow the imperial court of the Wei Kingdom is a person who must be eliminated...
But intellectually, it is more beneficial for Nangong Jingnv to participate in Qiyan's revenge for winning the heir. There is no change in the throne without bloodshed, especially for women.
At that time, he can take revenge in the name of clearing the way for Nangong Jingnu.
But now, there is another fork in the road in front of Qi Yan. Does she want to continue teaching Nangong Jingnu
If you want to be an empress, you must be better than all the princes, but if Nangong Jingnv really grows up, will she burn herself into flames
Qi Yan was a little hesitant for a while. Seeing that the other party was silent, Nangong Jingnu asked, "What happened to the other princes?"
Qi Yan didn't have enough time to think carefully, so he had to continue to answer: "The third prince is ambitious and stubborn. The sixth prince is cynical and has a bad reputation in the court and the people. I won't like him. The third and most important reason: His Majesty's illness has come too quickly, and he has not properly arranged everything for His Majesty. His Majesty has been the only bloodline of blood for many years, and has been blessed with grace. Fortunately, it is the princess. Even if the princes are dissatisfied, they will not show it, but if one day His Majesty is gone, can this honor be preserved? His Highness does not have a brother with the same mother, and the fiefdom of Shiyi is much higher than that of other princes. When the new king ascends the throne and the government is stable, he will definitely find a name to take all these back, and it is better to send His Highness to an invincible position than to become a fish and meat in other days."
Nangong Jingnu was heartbroken after hearing this: "But I have never been able to meet the demands of the emperor, and he has been disappointed."
Qi Yan held Nangong Jingnu's soft weeds in her hands: "As the so-called love is deep, responsibility is severe. If Your Highness is really mediocre, His Majesty will not make this decision. Although this minister does not know why His Highness feels that he is not enough. Good, but I think Your Majesty just hopes His Majesty can do better."
After unlocking the secret of "listening to politics with the curtains down", Nangong Jingnu was able to completely unload her burden.
On this day, the two talked for two hours, and most of the backlogged questions in Nangong Jingnv's heart were answered, and she once again saw Qi Yan's profoundness and foresight, but a few words can make Nangong Jingnv suddenly see the light.
In the same way, Qi Yan found that Nangong Jingnv had made a lot of progress in the past three years. What was even more terrifying was that she couldn't see where the upper limit of Nangong Jingnv was, but Qi Yan herself was already struggling to go further in her mind and wrist.
Although Qi Yan can still control the other party at present, the feeling of unease is getting deeper and deeper.
It's like a person who plays with fire, who doesn't know when he will burn himself...
Since Nangong was unable to speak, he finally got advice from the goddess of Nangong Jing, Cai Yiyi.
…
The fire in the Concubine's Mansion could not be suppressed, and it spread throughout the capital within a few days, and Nangong Shunv naturally knew it.
While she was relieved, she didn't know how to face Xiaodie.
Through this period of time, she found that Xiaodie has a deep dependence on Qiyan, a feeling similar to family affection.
Although she was unwilling, Nangong Shunv decided to respect Xiaodie after struggling for a while.
After all, Qi Yan is Xiaodie's savior, if one day Qi Yan is willing to let Xiaodie "free", they will still be a family.
After thinking about it, Nangong Shunv decided to conceal Qi Yan's injury, to avoid Xiaodie's worry, and to avoid unnecessary involvement between the two.
…
Nangong Shunv brought Qi Yuxiao to Qi Yan's bedroom, but was stopped by the guards who were guarding outside.
Guard: "The villain sees His Highness Zhuohua, His Highness Yanyang."
Nangong Shunv: "Bengong heard that my brother-in-law was ill, so I brought Yuxiao to visit."
The guards still had their arms crossed: "Your Highness forgives your sins, His Highness Zhen Zhen has instructed no one to visit the concubine."
Nangong Shu girl frowned slightly: "What? My brother-in-law is seriously hurt?"
Guard: "The villain doesn't know, please don't embarrass the villain, Your Highness Zhuohua. If the two Highnesses must visit, it is better to go with Your Highness Zhen Zhen."
Qi Yuxiao raised her head and looked at Nangong Shunv: "Second aunt, what's wrong with Daddy?"
Nangong Shun took Qi Yuxiao aside and said softly, "Your father is ill, maybe he needs to rest, how about we come back in a few days?"
Qi Yuxiao thought for a while: "What's wrong with Daddy?"
Nangong Shunv: "It's not a serious illness, just a few days of training will be fine."
Qi Yuxiao: "Alright then."
…
Qi Yan spent more than three months in bed before she fully recovered. It shouldn't have taken so long, but because her wound was soaked in water, she became inflamed. Shen Wei old disease.
Qi Yan almost died before being rescued by the masked man. The fever for several days made her heart and lungs weaker than ordinary people. Unconsciousness.
This terrified Nangong Jingnu, she had to stop Zao Chaoyi and stay by Qi Yan's side. Fortunately, Ding You got the mask, and even so, she emptied half of the precious medicinal materials in the princess' residence to stabilize her condition.
In the fifteenth year of Jingjia, in the third month of spring, Qi Yan was finally able to get out of bed and walk away.
Next month, Chunwei's examination center will open. Nangong Jingnu repeatedly confirmed Qi Yan's physical condition with the imperial doctor and granted Qi Yan's request.
Qi Yan lost a lot of weight, and the clothes she used to wear were loose and baggy. She sent her back to the imperial garden alone, and looked at the spring in front of her, pressed her fist to her lips, and suppressed her cough.
The imperial doctor has been in critical condition more than once, and Qi Yan has survived with a life force that is different from ordinary people.
She will not die. There are too many burdens on her shoulders that cannot be lifted. How can she fall if the Wei Kingdom does not fall
It's just that after this serious illness, Qi Yan's mood has changed, and seeing this spring scene has a different mood.
A woman's voice came from behind: "What a coincidence."
Qi Yan turned around and saw the person coming, raised her arms and bowed respectfully: "Chen Qi Yan, see Concubine Yagui."
Unlike other empresses in the palace, Jiya never takes anyone by her side. Ji Ya came to Qi Yan: "I heard that you have been sick for a while, and your health is all right?"
Qi Yan: "To Niangniang Hongfu, this minister has recovered."
Hearing this, Ji Ya suddenly laughed out a voice: "What does it have to do with me, and what kind of blessing do you have for me?"
Qi Yan also laughed, and put down the arm in front of him: "This is just a humble remark, it's no fun to investigate."
Ji Ya glanced at it and said lightly: "The bitter meat plan?"
There was still a polite smile on Qi Yan's face, and there was no fluctuation in the amber eyes: "I don't understand what Niangniang means."
Ji Ya suddenly stepped forward and looked straight at Qi Yan: "I want you to help me with something."
Qi Yan took a half step back, looking at Jiya noncommittally.
Ji Ya, who has always been calm, showed a trace of unprecedented: "What?"
Qi Yan: "I don't think I can help the noble concubine."
Ji Ya's eyes flashed fiercely: "If you don't help me, I will tell Nangong Wang about the person beside you!"
Qi Yan's brows were raised, her lips were pursed, and a gloomy color flashed in her eyes, but she still said "respectfully": "What does the noble concubine want the minister to do?"
Ji Ya's expression loosened, and she said in a low voice, "I want to go back to the grassland to save my relatives. I hope you can persuade your bedside person to make this happen."
Qi Yan thought for a moment and replied, "I can give you a try, but what if you threaten this matter again?"
Ji Ya raised his palm: "I, Nagus Ji Ya, swear to the gods, never cross the river and demolish the bridge."
Qi Yan was silent for a long time, then turned and left.
Not far away, Lingzhi led Qi Yuxiao into the imperial garden. The little guy saw that Qi Yan was very happy, but just as he was about to run over, Lingzhi covered his mouth and took him away.
When they came to no one, Lingzhi knelt in front of Qi Yuxiao to plead guilty: "His Royal Highness forgive me, this servant is just in a hurry."
Qi Yuxiao was not angry at all, and asked curiously, "What happened to you?"
Lingzhi opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, according to the law: it is a serious crime to have a private meeting with a foreign minister and a concubine. Bad luck.
Lingzhi: "Slave, this servant wants to go to the toilet, can your Highness wait?"
