this heart and this love sun and moon book
Nangong Jingnv arrived at the office of the supervising prince Nangong Da, only to learn that Nangong Lie's body had not been transported to the palace.
Nangong Jingnu: "The fifth brother, the sixth brother...?"
Nangongda sighed and said sadly, "The reason... Let's go over, you'll know at a glance."
Nangong Jingnv was suspicious, and together with Nangong Da took a carriage to Nangong Lie's private house. There was no black gauze elegiac couplet hanging on the house, and all the servants knelt in the yard tremblingly, and the whole house was silent.
The two brothers and sisters walked all the way, only the sound of Nangongda's crutches hitting the ground could be heard.
Outside the bedroom, there were still torches and empty wine jars left in the yard. The housekeeper of the private house rushed in front of the two of them, knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and then slapped his face with tears, but the corners of his mouth leaked after a few moments. Blood came out.
Nangong Jingnu couldn't see this scene the most, she frowned and said, "If you don't lead the way quickly, who are you crying for here?"
Butler: "Two masters, my highness has been harmed, and I ask the two masters to seek justice for my highness!"
The housekeeper only heard that the fifth prince was born with a defect and needed to walk with crutches on weekdays, but he didn't know Nangong Jingnu, but he picked himself clean while crying.
Nangong Jingnu: "Let's lead the way."
Butler: "Yes, the two masters are here."
Nangong Lie had already been put on his clothes, lying on the bed as quietly as if he was asleep, next to Wu Hua Da tied a person, wearing only a suit of ill-fitting clothes, the man had loose hair and was gagged, Nangong Jing Nu just glanced at it and then looked back.
The two brothers and sisters came to Nangong Lie's bed. Nangong Jingnu looked at Nangong Lie and lost his usual arrogant and domineering appearance. Nangong Lie was still the most outstanding looking member of the Nangong royal family, but at this time he was no longer there. breathed.
Nangong Jingnv always felt that her sixth brother was just asleep. Unlike the previous two times, maybe she lived with this imperial brother under the lap of the good concubine, and Nangong Jingnv didn't feel any fear in her heart.
She stretched out her hand, probed Nangong Lie's breath, and called out, "Sixth brother." Tears flowed out.
Where did she feel hurt in Qi Yan, and she finally had an outlet for her sadness all the way.
Nangongda patted Nangong Jingnu on the shoulder and fell silent.
He remembered that although Nangong Lie used to be eccentric, he still respected himself. In addition, this younger brother was destined to miss the throne, and Nangong Da never regarded him as his opponent. Now that he died, a feeling rose in his heart. true sadness.
The housekeeper knelt down in front of the two of them: "Two masters, please call the shots for my highness, it is that person who assassinated my highness."
Saying that, he pointed to Liu Yu'an in the corner.
In fact, Liu Yu'an was woken up by Nangong Lie as early as last night. Nangong Lie has a quirk and likes to watch beautiful women cry under him. Liu Yu'an is a stubborn one. dead.
When Nangong Lie was discovered, the blood vessels in the seven holes burst and died. The housekeeper was shocked and gave Liu Yu'an a medicine, which made it easier for him to put all the blame on Liu Yu'an, even if he knew about his own family. The master's death was unclear, and he, the housekeeper, would not be able to escape his involvement, but as long as his wife and children were not involved.
Nangong Da turned his head and glanced at Nangong Jingnu after hearing what the housekeeper said.
No wonder the housekeeper reported several times, begging to send a royal relative to the mansion first. Nangongda was worried that there was something tricky in it, so he called Nangong Jingnu.
Nangongda: "Put off his face and show it to Ben Gong."
The housekeeper climbed to Liu Yuan's side and grabbed his hair, revealing his face.
Nangongda was stunned for a moment, and secretly said: It is really a stunner in the world.
Nangong Jingnu: It's actually him!
This person and Qi Yan are regarded as old acquaintances, and because he had a conflict before, Nangong Jingnu feared that it would cause trouble for Qi Yan, and kept silent.
After that, Nangong Jingnu was a little annoyed. This person always thought that it was someone else, so why bother to protect him!
Nangong Jingnv: "Fifth brother, the emperor's sister is a girl. I'll trouble the fifth brother to preside over the next thing. I'll go back to the palace to visit the good concubine."
Nangongda nodded: "Alright, hey... You have a deep relationship with the good concubine, and you have to persuade a few words."
Nangong Jingnu: "I see. This matter... I advise Fifth Brother to keep a low profile."
Nangongda: "Yeah."
Nangong Jingnu went out of the bedroom alone, came to the courtyard, and looked up at the sky subconsciously. It was almost an hour, so she should return to the palace earlier so that Chen Chuansi could not find anyone.
…
After Nangong Jingnv returned to the palace, she went straight to the palace where the good concubine was, and found a close maid and instructed: "You go and tell Qiu Ju where this palace went to the good concubine."
Why does Nangong Jingnu need to know the whereabouts of the next person? At the end of the day, I still can't let go of Qi Yan. Although my heart is full of resentment, I still care about each other in the end.
…
On the other hand, Ding You fed Qi Yan a pill to restrain nightmares, and then returned to the imperial hospital to analyze the composition of the poison with the imperial physicians.
After another two days, Ding You cleverly led the Vice President to find the catalyst, and showed the new prescription to President Wang, and soon developed a prescription for detoxification.
After Qi Yan took it, she fell into a deep sleep, and this sleep lasted for a day and a night.
During this period, Nangong Jingnv didn't come to visit Qi Yan again, but Qiu Ju, the female officer in charge beside her, stayed by the bed day and night, and the chief servant also appeared in the dormitory every hour, day and night.
When Qi Yan woke up, it was Nangong Lie's mourning day. Nangong Da obeyed Nangong Jingnu's advice, and Nangong Lie only stayed for three days before leaving for the funeral.
Like King Jing, he had no children and could not enter the ancestral mausoleum. Nangongda chose a place called Dangshan in Gyeonggi as the place for Nangonglie's coffin, and named Nangonglie as King Yi.
In the past few years, the prosperous Nangong royal family has withered. Nangong Rang is good at fooling people's hearts and manipulating public opinion. He once made a big fuss about his nine sons, rumored that "the dragon gave birth to nine sons", and preached that he was destined to return and consolidate the throne.
Now... there are only three princes left in the Nangong royal family.
One of Qi Yan's confidants, Gu Feng, thought this was an excellent opportunity and sent people to spread rumors that the Nangong royal family was exhausted and the world might change hands.
Gu Feng is as loyal as Qian Yuan. Although Gu Feng does not have the same business skills as Qian Yuan, his political sense is not as good as that of Qian Yuan. Gu Feng has faithfully implemented every plan arranged by Qi Yan over the years. He tried his best to make suggestions for Qi Yan, but at the same time he was also observing and thinking.
On the premise of not knowing Qi Yan's true identity, in Gu Feng's view: everything Qi Yan has done over the years is to set up a huge network, many of Qi Yan's decisions are regardless of cost, or even sell at a loss, so It seems that it is by no means simple for money, so... what exactly does Qi Yan want? Gu Feng probably knew it too.
Conspiracy to usurp the throne should be punished. But Gu Feng had already died once, and all his sufferings were imposed on him by the Wei Kingdom. Not only did Gu Feng overthrow this dynasty without any psychological burden, but he felt a sense of revenge.
As for whether Qi Yan is suitable to be the emperor, this is not within Gu Feng's consideration. In this world, there are capable people living in it, not to mention that Qi Yan has the grace to recreate himself.
So, on the premise that Gu Feng could not contact Qi Yan, relying on his own speculation, he did what he thought Qi Yan wanted to do...
Sifang Bank spreads all over the country, and most of the core members are poor people who have no place to stand. The news that the Nangong royal family is about to die is like a spark cast on the yellow grassland, sweeping the country at an extremely fast speed.
Qi Yan woke up, but Qiu Ju was the first person in sight.
Qiu Ju: "Master Consort, you are awake!" Qiu Ju said in surprise.
Qi Yan looked at Qiu Ju and was in a trance for a while.
She had a long and long dream, and the dream was very scattered. After waking up, she couldn't remember much, but she guessed that she knew what her nightmare would be, but she didn't know when there was another Nangong Jingnu in her dream.
Without seeing the person in her heart, Qi Yan was in a trance for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to drink water."
Qiu Ju: "My servant will bring it to you."
After drinking the warm water, Qi Yan felt better and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Qiu Ju: "The concubine is poisoned. The pastry you brought into the palace is poisonous!"
Qi Yan made an "oh" and asked again, "Where's Your Highness?"
Qiu Ju: "His Royal Highness went back to the palace to rest. The illness of the concubine has frightened His Highness."
Qi Yan's eyes flashed: "How long has your Highness been gone?"
There was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he replied, "His Royal Highness guarded the concubine for a day and a night, and went back to the dormitory to rest."
Qi Yan: "I was in a coma for a day and a night?" This time seems to be shorter than Qi Yan's perception.
Qiu Ju was silent for a while, then replied truthfully, "The concubine has been in a coma for three days and three nights, and today is the fourth day."
Qi Yan was stunned, her eyes dimmed: She, I haven't seen myself for two days...
Qi Yan frowned, this is against common sense, is there something wrong in the middle? Qi Yan couldn't help but look down at her clothes. It was the one she wore before she fell into a coma. Since it wasn't her gender revealing, she couldn't figure out why Nangong Jingnu was not by her side.
Qi Yan: "...Your Highness, are you sick?"
Qiu Ju: "Master Consort, don't think about it, you just woke up and you are still well-educated. Are you hungry or not, the servants will pass meals to you?"
Qi Yan shook her head: "Your Highness... Did you get caught by something next to you?"
Qiu Ju didn't know why her master suddenly stopped coming to see the concubine. She was obviously very nervous about the other party before, and she cried several times. How could she not come if she didn't come
Qiu Ju thought hard, and finally found a suitable excuse, and replied in a low voice, "My concubine doesn't know something... During the time when you were in a coma, King Yi... His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince passed away, and His Highness has been at the concubine Liang's place for the past few days. Accompanying you, but His Highness is always concerned about the concubine, and ordered people to report the situation of the concubine every hour!"
Qi Yan knew that she should pretend to be shocked at this time, but she was not in the mood to act. Although Qiu Ju's excuse was reasonable, in Qi Yan's opinion: Nangong Jingnu would never stop watching for two days because of these things. Own.
Qi Yan closed her eyes tiredly: "I see, I'm irritating Sister Qiuju to report that I'm awake."
Qiu Ju: "Yes."
All the plans were carried out according to Qi Yan's plan, but she was not happy at all.
Two hours after Qiu Ju left, Nangong Jingnu arrived late, and it was almost three watch.
As soon as Nangong Jingnv stepped into the bedroom, Qi Yan sat up straight and her eyes followed Nangong Jingnv to her bedside.
Qi Yan observed it very carefully and did not miss any subtle changes in the expression on the other's face. Sure enough, she read a trace of dodge in Nangong Jingnu's eyes. Even if the other party tried to hide it, Qi Yan found it.
Nangong Jingnu sat on the round stool beside the bed, looking tired, she said softly, "Sorry, there are some things to deal with in the palace, it's late."
Qi Yan: "Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnu looked away: "Huh?"
Qi Yan: "Are you okay?"
Nangong Jingnu was silent for a moment: "Fortunately, I'm going to accompany the concubine Liang for the past few days."
Qi Yan: "Your Highness... take care of yourself."
Nangong Jingnv: "Bengong knows, and so do you."
The atmosphere was unbearably silent. The two of them used to get along so quietly before, but they never felt this way.
Qi Yan wanted to speak several times but stopped but didn't know how to speak, and Nangong Jingnu was even more bitter in her heart.
She is no longer the 13- or 14-year-old girl she used to be, and she can freely ask questions about her confusion, express her dissatisfaction, and even express her demands bluntly.
In another month, Nangong Jingnu will reach the threshold of twenty-two years old. She is already a mature woman.
She has the restraint and self-love of a lady, as well as the pride and self-respect of being a princess. No matter how deeply in love, Nangong Jingnu couldn't do anything that would lose her grace, even if she knew that the person beside her had other women in her heart.
For the past two days, Qi Yan had fallen asleep, but Nangong Jingnu barely slept.
Taking advantage of the excuse of comforting Concubine Liang, she stayed in Liang Concubine's palace until late at night every day. When she returned to Weiming Palace, all she thought about was this matter, and it was about to torture her crazy.
Nangong Jingnv can only recall how she came here in the first place, and when Qi Yan was "distributed" to Jinzhou, time will always heal the wound in her heart.
But this method is no longer applicable, let alone at this time that I can't do without Qi Yan's assistance, even in this form, Nangong Jingnu does not dare to let Qi Yan go out of the palace, and there are still gangsters who dare to fight under her own eyes. Qi Yan's idea, he can't protect him even if he leaves the capital.
Seven years, and in a month it will be eight years.
Qi Yan occupies more than one-third of Nangong Jingnu's life, and it has already taken root in Nangong Jingnv's heart, and it is difficult to let go.
But Xiaodie is like a thorn stuck in Nangong Jingnu's heart, she can't pull it out, she can only let the thorn rot in her heart, I don't know how long it will hurt.
How humble Xiaodie was in the past, Nangong Jingnv never murdered her, not to mention that she is now Nangong Shunv's pillow.
Nangong Jingnu felt that she could hardly breathe, and asked, "Who did you go out to meet three days ago? Who gave you the cake?"
Qi Yan: "Li Qiaoshan, a member of the labor department, I worked with him in the labor department before, and he helped me once again, so I went to the appointment without thinking. Li Qiaoshan introduced a person to me, and he was also the baker. Sent to me."
Nangong Jingnu: "Who?"
Qi Yan: "The son of the general in front of the hall, Ding Fengshan."
Nangong Jingnu frowned slightly: "Do you know that the chestnut cake is poisonous?"
Qi Yan: "I heard what Qiu Ju said."
Nangong Jingnv: "Apart from Ding Fengshan, who else has touched cakes?"
Qi Yan: "After returning to the palace, it will be handed over to the palace maid to set the plate, and no one has touched it again."
Nangong Jingnu thought: She can rest assured about the people in her palace, which means that Ding Fengshan is the most suspicious.
Nangong Jingnu: "Do you have any bad relations with Ding Fengshan?"
Qi Yan: "No, but there was a relationship many years ago. Tong Sheng was admitted to the Yunzhou official school, and we haven't seen each other since."
Nangong Jingnu: "Ben Gong knows, this matter... I will give you an explanation."
Qi Yan: "Your Highness..."
Nangong Jingnu got up before Qi Yan finished speaking, grabbed the white and said: "It's getting late, this palace is back, you rest early."
Looking at Nangong Jingnv's back, Qi Yan felt empty in her heart, as if something precious was slipping away from her fingers, she suddenly lifted the quilt, leaned over and grabbed Nangong Jingnv's sleeve: "His Royal Highness !"
Nangong Jingnu stopped, and Qi Yan said again: "The sky is over, Your Highness..."
Nangong Jingnu stared at Qi Yan's eyes with a trace of sadness in her eyes, and said lightly: "I guess the eldest sister and the second sister will come to see you tomorrow, and then I will find a way to let you and the second sister be alone for a while, you... just do it yourself. ."
Nangong Jingnv felt that her heart was bleeding. At this last moment, Nangong Jingnv finally figured it out. In fact, it can't be considered as a thought, but a difficult decision has been made.
If Qi Yan really couldn't let Xiaodie go, it would be boring to pester her like this, she just wanted a complete relationship, she could tolerate everything Qi Yan had, but this was not enough.
Rather than wasting it like this... Nangong Jingnv didn't want to think about it any longer.
If Qi Yan really can't let Xiaodie go, she should have a good talk with her second sister. If Xiaodie is the same, then it can only be regarded as a miserable life for their sisters.
Qi Yan grabbed Nangong Jingnu's sleeve nervously, and swayed up to get up without even putting on her shoes, but due to the weakness of her lower limbs after lying down for three days, she fell on the bed several times, and still stood up stubbornly.
Qi Yan: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu slammed away Qi Yan's arm, her eyes were red, like a wounded lioness, and roared: "Qi Yan, this palace has already done its best, don't deceive people too much!" Why is this person at this time? Still pretending to be confused? Do you want to be willing to take the initiative and leave him alone
Qi Yan: "Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu didn't want to go too far, she no longer wanted to expose her weakness and tears in front of this person: "Qi Yan, what should be done and what should not be done by Ben Gong has already been done. The rest... your heart. Whatever you want is in your own hands.”
A tear swept across Nangong Jingnu's face, but she straightened her waist proudly, turned her face away from looking at Qi Yan, and said, "Don't worry, as long as you make a choice... Ben Gong will send the Buddha to the West. , the palace rules will not punish you!"
Having said this, Qi Yan vaguely understood something, and when she saw Nangong Jingnu's red eyes and determined expression, she panicked even more.
Nangong Jingnu turned around and left, but her last words exploded in Qi Yan's heart like thunder.
"What you want is in your own hands!"
Qi Yan looked at the back of Nangong Jingnu's departure, and felt that her heart was also torn into two pieces.
He has done so many things, even torturing himself by taking poison, just to delay the marriage with Nangong Jingnu? In this way, you can extend the time you spend with her! Even if Qi Yan knew very well that her and Nangong Jingnu's ending was a dead end, it would be good to walk on this road for a while longer.
It's unknown what Nangong Jingnu misunderstood, but it's a good thing for me, isn't it? This way, you can be cold for a while, and you will be safe!
…
But... Qi Yan always felt that if Nangong Jingnu left this time, they would never go back.
I don't have much time. I have been like a juggler over the years.
Nangong let the wind and candles linger, the Nangong emperor withered away, the masked man was ready to move, and Luo Bei was staring at him.
I don't have the next seven years to mend the relationship with Nangong Jingnu. Maybe it's really as the masked man said, this is the last year.
If that's the case, why... spend it like this
"What you want is in your own hands!"
Qi Yan: "Your Highness!" Qi Yan shouted and chased out barefoot.
It was already dark outside, Nangong Jingnu walked very fast, and Qi Yan chased behind her barefooted. In November, the stone slabs in the palace were freezing cold at night, but Qi Yan was unaware.
Qiu Ju: "Your Highness, the concubine is chasing after him."
Nangong Jingnu was still in a hurry, and Qiu Ju persuaded again: "His Royal Highness, the concubine chased out without shoes and wearing a single coat! He can't see it at night. The steps are so high, how can it be good to fall?"
Nangong Jingnv stopped, Qiu Ju quickly ran over with the lantern, Qi Yan came behind Nangong Jingnv out of breath, and hugged Nangong Jingnv from behind.
The palace maids widened their eyes instantly, Qiu Ju made a secret gesture, and everyone turned their backs in unison.
I don't know if it's cold or excited.
Qi Yan's body trembled, and even her voice trembled.
Qi Yan: "Your Highness... don't go."
Nangong Jingnu lowered her head: "It's cold at night, go back... I'll take you off."
Saying that, he broke free from Qi Yan's embrace, held her hand instead, and sent the person back to the bedroom.
Qi Yan dragged Nangong Jingnu's hand and refused to let go, looking at the other party's eyes without blinking.
Nangong Jingnu: "Let go, Ben Gong is going back."
Qi Yan clutched Nangong Jingnu's soft weeds to her heart: "Your Highness! Here... there is only His Highness."
Nangong Jingnv turned her head away, and said for a long time, "In your dream, you shouted her name."
Qi Yan was in a hurry, and it was exactly what she thought. But Xiaodie's matter can't be explained no matter what, Qi Yan raised three fingers in a hurry and said loudly: "If there is another woman in my heart, I will definitely die!"
Nangong Jingnu blocked Qi Yan's mouth and said with red eyes, "What are you doing?"
Qi Yan also held Nangong Jingnv's other hand, she looked directly into Nangong Jingnv's eyes, and let go of all the burdens in her heart: "His Royal Highness, Xiaodie and I are pitiful people without father and mother. , she is more like a younger sister in my heart... Your Highness, can you trust me?"
Nangong Jingnu's tears flowed out, her nose was red, and she said aggrievedly: "Believe and believe... But you are called by her name in your dreams!"
Qi Yan was so distressed that she embraced Nangong Jingnu in her arms, and made up another lie: "I had a nightmare, I dreamed that the Sixth Highness came to the house to rob someone, I couldn't help but shouted a few times, but I also dreamed. to your Highness."
Nangong Lie just died, Nangong Jingnu felt a little nervous when she heard Qi Yan say this: "Don't talk nonsense, sixth brother he..."
Qi Yan: "I know, this minister deserves to die."
Nangong Jingnv: "It's just a little better and you're talking nonsense, why aren't you wearing shoes? Come back to the bed!"
Qi Yan grabbed Nangong Jingnu's hand and said, "Your Highness... don't leave tonight? I'm afraid."
Nangong Jingnu glanced at Qi Yan angrily, but agreed.
The two took a shower, lit the lamp and lay down on the bed.
Qi Yan embraced Nangong Jingnu and whispered, "When the time is right, I will tell His Highness a secret, okay?"
Nangong Jingnu was interested: "What's the secret?"
Qi Yan: "Say, wait until the time is right."
Nangong Jingnu: "When is that, there must be a deadline, you can't make the rules..."
Nangong Jingnu couldn't finish her words. She widened her eyes, feeling the softness on her lips, and quickly fell into it.
King Yi was newly mourned, and Nangong Jingnu knew that she shouldn't be like this.
However, when Qi Yan rolled over and pressed onto her, Nangong Jingnu's hand naturally wrapped around Qi Yan's neck.
After a few breaths, Nangong Jingnu felt that Qi Yan was drawing her lips.
Nangong Jingnu wanted to be called Qi Yan, but her lips were slightly open, but it was just what Qi Yan meant. This was an experience and touch that she had never had before.
Nangong Jingnu made a "boom", listening to Qi Yan's heavy breathing, her brain was completely unable to think, and her heart was also drunk.
