May your heart be like mine
After thinking about it, Nangong Jingnu made a decision.
She first wrote a hand letter in the tone of Nangong Rang, and asked Sijiu, the chief servant of the palace, to send it to the prince of the prison country in person.
In the afternoon, Nangong Jingnu changed into a formal palace attire, and the guard of honor led the way to the mansion outside Nangongda Palace with great fanfare.
Nangong Da was still a little puzzled when he heard the servant's report of the visit of His Highness Zhen Zhen, and turned to look at the hand letter on the book case, and there was a glint in his eyes.
Could it be that the little sister got some news and asked me to intercede? But... The royal father's hand letter has only arrived for two hours, so the little sister's news is too well-informed, right
Or... Does the other party have any information channels that are not comparable to the prince of the supervising country
With this thought in mind, Nangongda personally greeted him with a cane, Nangong Jingnu dragged her long palace attire to the back, and moved gently to Nangongda and gave him a thousand blessings, with a well-behaved smile on her face: "Mr. However, come to disturb fifth brother, fifth brother don't be mad at me~?"
Nangongda laughed along, and half turned around with a cane in one hand, raised his other hand in a "please" gesture: "Little sister is a rare visitor, why do you think of visiting your brother today?"
Nangong Jingnu pouted and said coquettishly, "If you miss fifth brother, naturally come and see. Why is fifth brother not welcome?"
Nangongda: "Why, go inside." After speaking, he said to the entourage beside him, "Go to the small kitchen and bring some fresh and delicious cakes."
Follower: "Yes."
The two brothers and sisters each had their own thoughts and entered the main hall chatting and laughing. Nangong Da asked Nangong Jingnv to be the first, and Nangong Jingnv was also welcome. Nangongda smiled and sat opposite Nangong Jingnv.
With Nangongda's current status, I am afraid that few people would dare to grab his first place, but Nangong Jingnu would do the opposite. On the other hand, if you are too "sensible", you will not be beautiful.
Just perform a show as before, which is also convenient for the next thing.
The two brothers and sisters chatted for a while. When the tea was served, Nangong Jingnu rudely took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, and praised: "Mmmmm~ soft and sweet. I didn't expect fifth brother to hide such a good thing in his house."
Nangongda: "Use more if it's delicious, and I'll ask the servants to pack some for you and deliver it to your house."
Nangong Jingnu: "That little girl is welcome!"
Nangongda: "You go down first."
Everyone: "Yes."
After the servants left, Nangongda took a sip of the tea cup and asked casually, "Is there anything I need the help of fifth brother?"
Nangong Jingnu froze for a moment, put down the refreshment in her hand, and sighed: "Yes, there is really one thing that must be done by Fifth Brother."
Nangongda pretended to be confused: "Oh? What is it that makes the little sister stumped?"
Nangong Jingnv hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I heard that my concubine made a mistake? Someone in the court sued?"
However, Nangong Da raised his face and said, "Who did you listen to? Little sister, do you know that 'the harem is not allowed to do politics'?" If it were the past, how could Nangong Da, a concubine prince with physical defects, dare to teach Nangong Jingnu a lesson? ? But I just feel that the crown prince is very secure, and I no longer put this "little" princess directly in the eyes.
Nangong Jingnu also felt a little uncomfortable. If the fifth brother in the past would at least care about it, even if there was no way, he would help himself to think of his own ideas. Now this is just a change of topic. First, calm yourself down, and then reasonably make excuses.
The fifth brother has changed, so why not himself
If it was my former self, I knew that it would be a trouble, and I would probably go directly to the father and emperor instead of bothering others.
Nangong Jingnu showed an uneasy look and whispered: "The fifth brother also knows... Eunuch Sijiu has always been very fond of me. In recent years, the father's health has not been good, and I haven't seen his old man for many days. Just... um."
Now Nangongda understood, and most of the vigilance in his heart went away. Forty-nine has followed the Nangong royal family for more than 40 years, and it is not something he can shake as a prince.
Nangongda sighed and didn't answer.
Nangong Jingnu continued: "Father Sijiu told me that the fifth brother may... let me ask the fifth brother to forgive me. Eunuch Sijiu is worried that I will lose my concubine at a young age."
Nangong Jingnu deliberately spoke half of what she said, but this half-sentence exploded in Nangong Da's heart.
Who doesn't know that the person in this world who understands his father's thoughts the most is this father-in-law of Si Jiu? His words are very likely to be the decision of the father, and he may be... What is it
Nangongda: "What?"
Nangong Jingnu looked embarrassed: "Fifth brother, can you help me? I have never asked you anything since I was a child, and I also support you."
Nangongda's throat moved, and the news that Nangong Jingnv revealed inadvertently made him very happy, and when he heard Nangong Jingnv's "surrender", Nangongda weighed it and agreed.
Qi Yan is indeed a talent, and it will not be difficult to keep him alive in the future. Now that Nangong Wang is dead, if he is worried that Qi Yan will fall to the other side, he naturally does not have to kill Qi Yan.
Nangongda: "This matter... It's a big matter, and I can't give you any guarantee. I can only promise you to say something nice on the paper, but I'm afraid my brother-in-law's official position can't be preserved, and it's best not to be brought to justice. result."
Nangong Jingnu sneered in her heart: As expected, Qi Yan took the important position, delaying Nangong Daan's confidant.
Nangong Jingnu: "It doesn't matter, as long as the concubine can be safe, what's the point of being an official? Is there a noble consort?"
Nangongda said with a smile: "Little sister is right. The concubine is a royal family, and the highest-ranking officials are also ministers. Naturally, the concubine is better."
Nangong Jingnu: "Fifth brother, is this a promise?"
Nangongda: "I will try my best, but the result still depends on the will of the emperor."
Nangong Jingnu said excitedly, "Father Sijiu said that as long as the fifth brother is willing to help, there is no need to worry about this matter!"
Nangongda: "Little sister, do you want to stay for dinner?"
Nangong Jingnu waved her hands again and again: "No, no, I have to tell my concubine the good news, and I will not eat the meal. Fifth brother will pack me a few boxes of these refreshments, and I will take them back to eat with the concubine! "
Nangongda: "Okay."
Nangong Jingnu said happily: "No need to send fifth brother, I'm going back."
Nangongda: "Okay."
The snacks were loaded, the carriage started, and Nangong Jingnu sat alone in the carriage, the joy on her face disappeared.
As long as Qi Yan suffers less, she is willing to do anything, not to mention just telling a little lie to her liking
Nangongda's momentum in the court is at its peak, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment do not care about the face of their own princess, and they are pressing for letters every day. There must be a lot of "credits" for Nangongda.
Although Nangong Jingnu can completely protect her beloved with her own strength, as Qi Yan said: learn to use strength to fight.
Nangongda was overjoyed by himself for a while, if it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he would have jumped for joy.
He put Nangong Rang's manual aside, took a new book and wrote it.
Three days later, the will to deal with Qi Yan came down.
Fengtian Chengyun Emperor issued an edict saying: Qi Yan, the servant of the Ministry of Personnel, secretly and privately communicated with the generals, and mobilized the guards of Youzhou without authorization, which should have been severely punished. However, thinking about it did not lead to bad results, and after returning to Beijing, he took the initiative to report it, and he was punished lightly. He was dismissed from all positions in the court, fined for three years, and suspended for one year.
Chin this.
But that afternoon, the sage seemed to have "changed his fortune" and issued another imperial decree to imprison Qi Yan into the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple for a fixed time limit...
Some courtiers were still muttering that the sentence was too light this time, and before they could say it, the second imperial decree blocked their mouths.
The cause of the incident has to be mentioned in the bedroom of the Neverming Palace. When the servant who passed the decree came with the imperial decree, Nangong Jingnu was accompanying Qi Yan in the bedroom.
The two received the imperial decree, and Nangong Jingnu helped Qi Yan to sit on the bed again, and said with relief, "Now you can recuperate in peace."
Who knew that Qi Yan frowned, started a fire, and asked solemnly, "Why didn't your Highness discuss with the minister?"
Nangong Jingnu was stunned by the question, and asked a little aggrieved: "Is this bad? Many ministers have made excuses for begging. I am completely..."
Qi Yan's eyes flickered with anger, and she turned her head away from Nangong Jingnu: "Put me in jail, Dali Temple or Heavenly Prison is better."
Nangong Jingnv: "Why...?" This result was obtained from political opponents through hard work!
Qi Yan: "If Your Highness does not agree, this minister will go on a hunger strike from now on."
Nangong Jingnu's heart was sore and aching. Could it be that she was so busy that she couldn't satisfy the other party
The conversation ended with Nangong Jingnv walking away. Qi Yan sat on the bed and watched Nangong Jingnv's back, her eyes full of guilt.
Qi Yan: Your Highness, Your Highness... I am confined in the palace, how can outsiders come to visit me
If I stay by your side, is it past the period of observation, we...
In the afternoon, Qiu Ju reported that the concubine locked herself in the room and would not come out, the lunch was useless, and the medicine was not drunk.
In desperation, Nangong Jingnu came to coax her in person. Although Qi Yan let her in, she was dealt with a cold speech: "His Royal Highness knows what this minister wants."
So, there is a second decree.
Dali Temple officials came to Weiming Palace with chains and shackles. Nangong Jingnu watched Qi Yan drink the medicine and was silent.
Qi Yan got up, shook her sleeves and stretched out her hand in front of the two officials.
The two officials looked at each other in dismay: "Father Consort, this... these idiots are just passing scenes, you don't have to do this."
Hall Zhen Zhen sat in the back with a bad expression, and they dared not put a torture tool on Qi Yan even if they had a hundred courage.
