Autumn frost full of three thousand drunk
Xing Jingfu and Xing Jing hurried out of the study and instructed the servants who were guarding the door: "Go, go and open the door!"
Jiading responded and ran away.
Several family members opened the back door and stood neatly in two rows, but Qi Yan still stood there.
It wasn't until Xing Jingfu and Xing Jing went out of the mansion to greet him that Qi Yan raised his arms and bowed: "The students meet the teacher."
Xing Jingfu smiled and supported Qi Yan's arm: "My concubine, please come in."
Qi Yan: "Thank you, teacher."
The three entered the main hall together. Xing Jingfu invited Qi Yan to take the seat, but Qi Yan chose the second seat to sit down. Xing Jingfu smiled and sat on the main seat.
The servant took the tea cup to the door, Xing Jingfu glanced at Xing Jing, the latter came to the door and took the tea cup and placed it on Xing Jingfu and Qi Yan's small table in person: "Master Consort, please use tea."
Qi Yan: "Thank you."
Xing Jingfu: "Jing'er, you can take everyone down, and reminisce for the father and the concubine."
Xing Jing: "Yes."
Xing Jing bent down and took three steps back before turning to leave. He walked out the door and brought the door: "If you don't leave anyone within fifty steps, you should all leave." After speaking, he stood at the door alone.
Qi Yan: "The teacher is good at teaching the son, the son is a talent, and the advance and retreat are moderate."
Xing Jingfu: "The concubine has won the award. The old man only got this son when he was 30 years old. He has been spoiled for more than ten years. He is not as sensible as today, but he must be impressed by the demeanor of the concubine."
Qi Yan smiled without saying a word, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and put down the tea cup without saying a word.
Xing Jingfu has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and the most important thing is patience. He also took a sip from the teacup.
The two seemed to have fallen into a kind of silent stalemate, and whoever spoke first would lose.
It was Qi Yan who spoke first, but Xing Jingfu's expression changed in one sentence.
Qi Yan: "Teacher, I met Linglang late, and I feel like a good match. I wonder if the teacher will allow Linglang to stay in the palace for a few days?"
Qi Yan had never met Xing Jing before, and the two of them haven't even said three words. It's just talking nonsense.
But Qi Yan did not change her face and heart, and looked at Xing Jingfu sincerely.
The anger in Xing Jingfu's eyes flashed, but there was still a kind smile on his face: "The concubine has raised her love, and it is said that the dog can enter the concubine's eyes, and the old man should not refuse. It's just that my mother has been ill recently, and the old man is sick. My wife loves this grandson the most, and Jing'er has to serve the old lady every day, so please forgive me."
Qi Yan smiled slightly and replied calmly: "This is easy to do, then please bring the old lady with you, and go through the house together, so as not to delay the reunion of grandparents."
As the saying goes, the disaster is not as good as the wife and children. For this reason, even the best-tempered person will be angry, let alone Xing Jingfu, who has been an extremely talented minister for decades.
Qi Yan is clearly asking Xing Jingfu's mother and son-in-law to be a pledge!
Xing Jingfu: "Master Qi, the old man respects you as your concubine. You also have to see where this place is. How can the Zhongshu Lingfu allow people to be so presumptuous?"
Qi Yan was unafraid, looked directly into Xing Jingfu's eyes, and replied, "Lord Wansheng respects you as a teacher, the teacher is also taught by preaching and deceived, and you dare to ask the teacher, 'How can there be a dead egg under the nest'?"
Xing Jingfu: "Are you threatening the old man?"
Qi Yan lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Students dare not."
Xing Jingfu arched his hands and raised his head above his head: "The old man has the trust of His Majesty. He has been in the official decree for more than ten years. I dare not speak and do my best, but I have a clear conscience.
Qi Yan: "Master Xing is really righteous and admirable. Just... I dare to ask, Your Majesty is seriously ill, and today is the opening of the court. Why doesn't Master Xing preside over government affairs in the court?"
Xing Jingfu: "The old man is sick."
Qi Yan: "Excuse the students' clumsiness, I didn't see it."
Xing Jingfu: "Well, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the concubine is not an imperial doctor."
Qi Yan: "Master Xing doesn't have to play dumb riddles with me. Others may use this trick, and they can't deal with me. I came here today with a mission. Even if it is to carry it, I will carry the old lady and Linglang across the house."
Xing Jingfu: "Presumptuous! I see who dares."
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty dares."
Xing Jingfu's face froze, and then there was a hint of ruthlessness: "The concubine came alone and made nonsense in front of the old man, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to go back?"
Qi Yan hooked the corner of her mouth: "Since you dare to come, there is nothing to worry about. Besides... How does Master Xing know that I am here alone?"
Qi Yan raised a finger: "In an hour, if I don't take the person I want to take out of the Zhongshu Lingfu within an hour, Master Xing will know what the power to cover the nest is."
Xing Jingfu sneered: "Master Consort, these little tricks of yours are all you need to deceive others, it's not the old man who cares about the big, the grass and trees in this capital can't escape my eyes, even if you use the imperial decree to call the patrol camp to let When they arrest the old man, I'm afraid they will have to first check the authenticity of this imperial edict! I'm afraid... Your imperial edict will not be seen in the light, right?"
Xing Jingfu's eyes are really vicious. Although he gave Qi Yan a 12-point courtesy, he also guessed that Qi Yan would not make this imperial decree public.
After Xing Jingfu finished speaking, he carefully observed Qi Yan's expression, not even the slightest change, but Xing Jingfu was disappointed.
Qi Yan was still the same, indifferent and calm, and Xing Jingfu was worried.
Qi Yan: "That's right, everything in the capital cannot escape the eyes of Lord Xing, but... Lord Xing, do you remember? His Royal Highness Qionghua entered the capital, and the General Zhenbei sent 5,000 elite soldiers to escort the tribute to the capital? You might as well tell the adults one more thing. Secretly, General Zhenbei loves his wife and children, and falsely reported that the escort team was not 5,000 but 10,000... General Zhenbei's mansion guards Youzhou for generations, Youzhou is bitter and cold, not only to beware of Luobei but also to fight against rogues on the border from time to time , these ten thousand soldiers are even the elite of the elite, everyone has blood on their hands, and I don’t know if the servants in Master Xing’s house can go through a round in the hands of these arrogant soldiers?”
Xing Jingfu stretched out his finger and pointed at Qi Yan: "You, you... You are an adulterer and a death penalty!"
Qi Yan seemed to have heard something funny, laughed out loud for a while, and replied: "It's not the first time, why should Master Xing make a fuss? Did Master Xing forget? How did the student's official lose?"
Xing Jingfu was stunned and fell on the chair.
Qi Yan, however, did not give Xing Jingfu any chance to breathe and react: "Teacher, time is running out. Counting the delays on the road, there is still half an hour left. The teacher has high authority, and it is not a small crime to collide with your mansion. Fight for the right to speak after the event...I don't know what those people will do to the teacher."
Xing Jingfu: "I... I know. I promise to do whatever you ask me to do. Can I... "
Qi Yan: "No."
Xing Jingfu: "Qi Yan! My mother just passed her 70th birthday last year. I won't stop you when you bring it to Jinger. Don't bother the old lady when it's freezing cold. I can swear to Tianqi that I will never cross the river and demolish the bridge! "
Qi Yan suddenly laughed, with sarcasm in his eyes: "Teacher, stop joking at this juncture, there are thousands of people in this world, and there are some who like to fish out of the water and lose their conscience. Sons can be reborn, but mothers can only have This one, students can still tell which one is more important, so don't waste time. It's too much of a loss for me to trade the whole family's life for me."
Xing Jingfu looked into Qi Yan's eyes, and felt that the person sitting opposite was not a person at all, but a poisonous snake spitting its core, his eyes were cold, ruthless, and some emotions that Xing Jingfu could not understand.
But Xing Jingfu could clearly feel that if he didn't do as Qi Yan said, the other party would really kill in the Zhongshu Lingfu.
Qi Yan: This is the person. During the period when he was in charge of the government, he vigorously implemented the policy of "rejection" and encouraged local governments to treat the grassland survivors with iron and blood. This is the same person who strongly recommended Nangong Rang to carry out the slaughter and slaughter plan of the extinct tribe and the genocide on the grassland.
Some debts that are conscientious and can escape for a while, but there will always be people who come to collect them.
Xing Jingfu provided a carriage and sent the old lady and Xing Jing to the carriage of Lifu.
Qi Yan came to his carriage with a secret order in his arms, and the driver lifted his bucket hat, it was Wu Er next to the masked man!
Qi Yan: "Go back to the private house."
…
The carriage opened, and Qi Yan sat alone in the carriage, laughing silently.
Where can there be 10,000 elite soldiers? Even if there is, how can Qi Yan be able to mobilize it? Time is so tight, Qi Yan has no time to discuss with the Nangong sisters, she lied to Xing Jingfu.
The Wei state pursued Confucianism and was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Even if some literati have rotted to the core, they still shout "virtue" in their mouths.
There were many officials in Wei who stabbed each other privately, but they couldn't find another person like Qi Yan who didn't speak "morality".
Taking the old mother of the family and the only son who is not the weak crown as a pledge, even if the military attache did this during the war, he would be criticized by the official. Putting it on a civil servant is simply sensational.
This is also one of the reasons why Qi Yan can successfully scare Xing Jingfu, no matter how experienced you are, no matter how savage your eyes are. If you suddenly come into contact with something beyond your cognizance, you won't be able to react for a while.
But Qi Yan's move was brave, but not reckless.
She brought Wu Er, the best personal entourage around the masked man.
Back then, he escaped from the hands of countless Wei State soldiers wearing masks, and he brought himself back safely from Luobei, where Wei State soldiers and grassland orphans were everywhere.
Qi Yan and Wu Er made an appointment for three quarters of an hour, which is more than half an hour, but told Xing Jingfu an hour, and there was a time difference here.
If Xing Jingfu decides to fight to the end, Qi Yan also has a way to retreat.
As far as the arrogant servants of the Zhongshu Lingfu are concerned, they can't stop Wu Er at all.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son. Qi Yan did it.
However, Qi Yan did not intend to tell Nangong Jingnv this trump card.
Before leaving, Xing Jingfu asked Qi Yan, "What exactly do you want me to do? There must be a deadline for 'taking guests', right?"
Qi Yan: "Just ask Master Xing to adapt to the situation, and also inform those disciples of your master that it's better to follow your lead in the face. Your master is a smart person, right?"
Qi Yan knew that Xing Jingfu would understand.
The biggest thing at the moment is the selection of the new emperor. Everyone believes that the fifth prince will inherit the line. If Qi Yan is satisfied with the result, he will not go this way.
On the other side, the three sisters of the Nangong family gathered in Nangong Jingnv's bedroom and were discussing a problem.
In addition to the fifth prince Nangongda, there are the seventh prince Nangongli and the eighth prince Nangongbao.
Nangong Jingnv planned to invite Nangong Shunv to interview Lu Zhongxing, so she said: Your Majesty has a candidate for a prince in his heart, but this prince is not Nangongda. So the three of them sisters now need a prince to cooperate with them to do their tricks.
Nangong Su's daughter liked Nangong Bao because he was young, soft-tempered and easy to control.
And Nangong Jingnu prefers the seventh prince, Nangong Li…
Nangong Jingnv: "Although the old man is good, his concubine is still there. We invite him to live in the Weiming Palace. What if the concubine Li hears the wind and comes to visit the old man? Otherwise, Xiaoqi will not have this worry, his mother The concubine died early and has a withdrawn personality. The relationship with the adoptive mother is not good. Except for the three festivals and two birthdays, there is no one at all. Shangyuan will be at least half a year before going to ask for Anping, and Xiaoqi has always lived in a secluded place. There are no friends among the people, and even if they don’t see it for ten days and a half months, no one will intervene.”
Nangong Sunu: "But... Do you know Lao Qi? Is he easy to control, what if a big living person runs away by himself, what if the matter is leaked? We invite him to be a shield, and we can't let him until it is done. When you show up, you and the old man have feelings, and he may listen to you."
Nangong Jingnv: "The old man will not support me. He is also one of the heirs to the throne, and the old man is very strange. Once it gets out of control, we can't bear it."
The two of them turned their attention to Nangong Shunv, who pursed her lips: "I think... what the little sister said makes sense. If the old eight disappears, Concubine Li will definitely look for it. It depends on the few of us. I'm afraid it's not easy to hide Concubine Li."
Nangong Sunu: "Okay, then the seventh."
…
Nangong Shunv left the palace, and she made an appointment with Lu Zhongxing. With the seventh prince Nangongli as a guise, at least it won't cause Lu Zhongxing's rejection.
As long as it is not a woman ascending the throne, it doesn't matter to Lu Zhongxing which prince is, let alone he can get a lot of credit, why not do it
…
In the sixteenth year of Jingjia, the first day of the second lunar month.
Nangong Rang's situation improved, he was able to speak, and he also summoned Nangong Jingnu. Just when everyone felt that Nangong Rong was going through the difficult time, Ding You came to tell Qi Yan: Nangong Rong is no good.
At night, Nangong Jingnu dragged her tired body to look at Qi Yan, and fell into Qi Yan's arms as soon as she walked away.
Qi Yan hugged Nangong Jingnu, looked down at the other party's eyes with bloodshot eyes and dark blue eyes, and said sympathetically, "Your Highness, how long have you been resting?"
A long-lost smile appeared on Nangong Jingnv's face, but she was tired and pale: "Father is very good today, I asked Ben Gong to have a meal together, Yuan-jun... Do you think God opened his eyes to hear my prayer?" It must be, when Qi Yan was poisoned last time, he also asked for it.
Qi Yan felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it. Returning to the light and returning to the light was something that could not be explained clearly. A seriously ill person would suddenly glow with vitality before dying, giving people an illusion of recovery. Blessings, so that they can finally say goodbye to their families.
Just... yourself? How do you explain your own parents and clansmen
Nangong Jingnu hadn't slept for several days and nights. Her spirits were always tense, and there were too many things to deal with. The eldest and second sisters also advised her to take a rest and not overwhelm herself.
But Nangong Jingnu tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Her body was extremely tired, but her brain was very active.
It was not until he was nestled in Qi Yan's arms, feeling the familiar body temperature and breath, and listening to Qi Yan's caring words, that he relaxed.
Qi Yan: "Your Highness?"
Without answering, Nangong Jingnu just stood there and fell asleep in Qi Yan's arms.
A trace of struggle and pain flashed in Qi Yan's eyes, and she looked down at Nangong Jingnu for a long time without saying a word.
In the end, she picked up Nangong Jingnv and put it on her bed, and took off her shoes and socks to cover her with the quilt. Qi Yan sat on the edge of the bed. Nangong Jingnv who was sleeping was fragile and quiet, if Qi Yan had a trace of evil intentions Nangong Jingnu has long been dead and can't die anymore.
Qi Yan: Your Highness, Your Highness, you have never been prepared for me like this.
Qi Yan gave the bedroom to Nangong Jingnv, and went to the study to sit and think all night.
On the second day of the second lunar month, Sijiu, the head of the chambermaid, went to the Weiming Palace to deliver the decree: Your Majesty summoned Zhen Zhen's concubine.
Qi Yan deliberately changed into a palace dress with auspicious clouds embroidered on a white background, and led Sijiu to Nangong Rang's bedroom.
Nangong Rang leaned on the bed, and several years of bed rest had caused his muscles to degenerate a little.
But Nangong Rang was very happy to be able to sit up and talk.
Nangong Rang waved his hand: "Forty-nine, you should step back first."
Forty-nine: "Yes."
Qi Yan lowered her head, and her gestures were all respectful. Nangong Rang looked at her son-in-law in front of the bed and sighed, "Get up and talk."
Qi Yan: "Yes."
Qi Yan sat on the round stool, and Nangong asked Qi Yan to take a look, and said with emotion, "These years... I have wronged you."
Qi Yan didn't say anything, Nangong made his eyes a little empty and fell into memory.
He remembered the dream many years ago, when a strange beast with amber eyes flew to the inner court on a black cloud, which made Qiyan feel jealous. Even if Guan Tiansi said that a worthy minister would come into the world, he still regarded Qi Yan as a chess piece, making Qi Yan a shield to protect his daughter, and completely eliminated the possibility of Qi Yan becoming an official in the dynasty.
Just these words, this dream, it is impossible for Nangong Rang to tell Qi Yan.
But over the years, Nangong Jingnv said a lot of good things about Qi Yan in front of Nangong Rang, and together with Qi Yan's series of being able to afford the word "virtuous minister", it made Nangong Rang feel emotional.
Nangong Rang took his breath away from his memories and continued: "I know you have talent, and I know your hard work and achievements. You are also lucky. In the future, you and Jingnu's child will become the next emperor. The honor is the first one that has opened up the world, your parents know well and smile at Jiuquan."
Nangong Rang: "I'm old, even if I survive this time, I don't plan to manage the affairs of the court anymore. You have to help Jing Nv well and be a virtuous internal assistant."
Qi Yan lowered her head, and the words "smiling Jiuquan" penetrated her last forbearance.
No one would have imagined that the dignified princess Zhen Zhen's concubine, the next imperial husband, would actually hide a dagger in his sleeve when he met His Majesty.
Nangong Rang did not expect that even after serving Nangong Rang for fifty years, forty-nine years did not expect that at this juncture, who would search for the body of a concubine who had been in the inner court for eight years
Qi Yan put the dagger on Nangong Rang's neck, staring at Nangong Rang with red eyes: "The dagger is poisoned, and blood seals your throat. If you dare to make a sound, I will be on your neck. Just wipe it off!"
Nangong's eyes widened, his face flushed red, and his body trembled uncontrollably. I don't know if I was scared or angry.
Qi Yan dragged the round stool and moved forward, sarcastically: "Yes, you really know each other."
Nangong Rang: "What are you going to do?"
Qi Yan stood up the dagger, the gleaming blade pressed against Nangong Rang's skin, and roared, "Next time, you'll be dead!"
Nangong Rang took a deep breath, raised his hand and put it down.
Qi Yan took a deep breath and let it out slowly, with a dead silence in her amber eyes.
Qi Yan: "Old thief, I've been waiting for this day for 16 years! Do you know who I am...?"
My name is Qiyan Agula, the son of Sukhbaru, the tiger of the grasslands. Prince Jing, no, he is the king!
Sixteen years ago, you coveted the land and cattle and sheep of the Wei Kingdom, and you sent Lu Quan to command and Ding Yi to be the vanguard. You took advantage of the frozen land and invaded the grasslands, haven't you forgotten
I jumped off Luochuan and was rescued by the princess of the previous dynasty. I endured humiliation and learned the language and culture of my enemy, and made myself a complete Weiguo. The yin and yang became the concubine.
Well, when His Royal Highness Zhen Zhen becomes the emperor, I will truly be one person below ten thousand people, and it will be easy to overthrow your Nangong royal family!
Nangong Rang's eyes burst, and a few vibrato came from his throat.
His body was already rotten, and being stimulated by Qi Yan, the illusion of returning to light was instantly shattered.
Nangong's rosy face withered and yellowed at a speed visible to the naked eye. His breathing was rapid and short, with more air in and less out. Unable to hold it any longer, she slowly fell on the bed softly.
Qi Yan quickly removed the dagger that was touching Nangong Rang's neck, and the sharp edge was about to injure Nangong Rang.
Nangong Rang stared at Qi Yan, with a "fore" sound in his throat.
Qi Yan retracted the dagger and sewn it into the sheath on the cuff, stood up, folded her hands together, and covered Nangong Rang's mouth.
Qi Yan: "My Anda, in order to find me, used my name to stand up, and there was no injury anywhere on her body! My sister, the biological sister of the same father and mother, should have been worry-free under my care. You grew up carefree, found a good husband and gave birth to children. But because of your greed, you became a dead slave and gave birth to children, and you are still crazy to this day!"
Qi Yan took out a hand, clenched her fist and smashed her chest: "Here! The wolf king totem that stabbed my plow has been destroyed by my own hands!"
Qi Yan's expression became more and more hideous, Nangong Rang's struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally... he stopped moving.
Qi Yan fell into madness, grabbed Nangong Rang's clothes and lifted the person up, and growled with tears: "You know what? I'm not a prince at all, but a princess! For revenge, I took banned drugs, Turn yourself into a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, and your daughter and I will never have children! The Nangong Royal Family, it's over!"
A cloudy tear overflowed from the corner of Nangong Rang's eyes, Qi Yan let go, and Nangong Rang fell back softly.
After a while, Qi Yan raised her hand to probe Nangong Rang's breath, and died.
I don't know if Nangong Rang heard the last words.
"Ugh… "
Qi Yan heard a sigh, she stared at Nangong Rang and touched Nangong Rang's pulse, the other party was indeed dead.
Qi Yan smoothed Nangong Rang's clothes, wiped away the tears from the corners of Nangong Rang's eyes, and slumped on the edge of Nangong Rang's bed, turning his back and not looking at him.
Qi Yan: "Did you know? You shouldn't pass the throne to Jing Nu, you are just selfishly imposing your so-called love on her, how passively she bears your so-called love, and even the escape route will be rejected. You sealed it, have you asked her what she really thinks in her heart? What exactly does she want? Once she succeeds, you can rest assured that I will guard her... accompany her and assist her."
Qi Yan started to cry again, the tears flowed fiercely, but there was no sound.
This day has come.
It turned out that Huiguang Huizhao was not a blessing from God, but a ruthless joke.
I don't know how long it took, Qi Yan dried her tears, looked back at Nangong Rang, saw that the mark on his mouth had disappeared, and then stood up silently.
Qi Yan stood silently in front of Nangong Rang's bed for a long time, and finally opened the hem of her clothes and knelt down.
He murmured in a very soft voice: "A person's death is like a lamp goes out. The debt you owe to the grassland has been cleared... Royal Father, I will give you a ride for Jing Nu. From now on, it will be the debt between me and her."
