Sincerely protect and send loyal servants
Nangong Jingnu had been away for most of the day, and accompanied Nangong in the palace to have dinner before returning.
When the Weiyang Palace caught fire, Nangong, who believed in fate, was convinced that it was because of his own mistakes in employing people that he brought such disaster to his beloved daughter.
While promising to restore Weiyang Palace as soon as possible, he also listened carefully to Nangong Jingnv's advice and pardoned the death penalty of three detained ministers.
He also rewarded Nangong Jingnv's many belongings, together with the 300 volumes of ancient books given to Qi Yan, packed three carriages, and returned to Princess Zhen Zhen's mansion in a beautiful way.
The first thing Nangong Jingnv did when she came back was to find Qi Yan: "Bengong is back."
Qi Yan put down the scroll in her hand and went forward: "See Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnv smiled happily: "You guys go down first."
"Here."
When Chuntao and Qiu Ju left, Qi Yan pretended to be nervous and stared at Nangong Jingnu, who sold it for a while before Guan Zi said, "Tomorrow Gongyangzhong will be able to go home, and the emperor said that the three of them will serve for the imperial court. Serving for many years, small punishment and big admonition, fined for three years."
Qi Yan showed a surprised smile and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Nangong Jingnu was also happy when she saw that the sadness between Qi Yan's eyebrows disappeared.
He said sincerely, "Don't keep it in your heart when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, and say that this palace will find a way for you."
Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnu's sincere eyes, and responded with a bitter smile.
Nangong Jingnu sat for a while and looked at the sky outside: "It's getting late, Ben Gong will go back first."
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
…
At night, Qi Yan was lying on his back on the bed and pressing his chest, and under his jacket was a lifelike tattoo of a wolf king.
This is the proof of his status as the Dianli royal family, just like the golden book and jade ultimatum issued by the Wei Dynasty court to the members of the royal family.
Without this tattoo, it would not be recognized, so who would be the person who claimed to be Qiyan Agula in Luobei
The only thing that can be concluded is that the other party is definitely not a woman.
The clan totems of the prairie women were all stabbed in the waist, and the opponent must have such a big appeal, it must be a man with a totem on his chest.
He repelled the army led by Erihe, and he was also a brave warrior.
Could it be the descendants of the six important ministers under the care of Gu Gu
If they are, there is absolutely no need to borrow their own name.
When the accident happened in the grassland, he was only an eight-year-old child. Although he had royal blood, he did not have a strong reputation.
What's more, the six important ministers are very valuable, and their descendants also have a certain appeal...
Is it!
Qi Yan sat up from the bed at once, it was her own Anda: Gucci Bayin
"Hey."
Qi Yan lay back again, how could it be Bayin
He was about the same age as himself, and no one who stayed in the king's tent was spared, so how could such a small child survive
Moreover, I have seen the tattoo on Bayin's chest. The servant wolf is far from the wolf king, and he can tell it at a glance.
…
At noon the next day, Qi Yan was playing a game with Nangong Jingnv, when Qiu Ju suddenly came to report: someone from the palace, it is said that the concubine will enter the palace to face the saint.
The chess piece clipped to Qi Yan's fingertips fell, and she looked at Nangong Jingnu uneasily.
The other party put down the chess piece and said with relief: "Bengong will accompany you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The two came to Ganquan Palace, and the commander-in-chief's servant Sijiu was at the door. It seemed that she knew that Nangong Jingnu would come with her, and shook the whisk in her hand: "His Royal Highness Zhen Zhen, please stay, and your majesty will only let the concubine go in alone."
If it were someone else, Nangong Jingnu might be able to make a foray because of her identity, but Sijiu has been by Nangong Rang's side for more than 40 years, and all the imperial heirs respect this loyal servant.
Nangong Jingnu's heart sank: The father sent Eunuch No. 49 to guard here just to stop him, could it be...
"Your Highness..." Qi Yan called out in a low voice.
Si Jiu retracted the whisk and said without looking sideways, "Master Consort, don't make Your Majesty wait for a long time."
"Yes."
Nangong Jingnu cast a consoling look at Qi Yan: "Go, this palace is waiting for you here."
Qi Yan entered the hall from the corner gate, and came to the center of the hall with the hem of her clothes: "My son, I see the emperor."
After a while, Nangong Rangcai put down the memorial in his hand: "Do you know why I announced you to enter the palace?"
Qi Yan put her forehead on the cold floor tile, her body tense: "I don't know."
Nangong Rang sneered: "Who have you met since returning to Beijing?"
Qi Yan knew that Nangong Rang was chasing Gongyang Huai, but when the other party asked this, Xie An's affairs could not be taken over, so he could only say vaguely, "Old friend."
"Why didn't I know that you and Gongyang Mansion have an old relationship?"
"My son and the second son of Gongyang Mansion are classmates of Jingjia's four-year childbirth test."
"Are you admitting that you have seen Gongyanghuai?"
Qi Yan's body trembled, and she knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound.
And this small action was naturally made to be seen by Nangong, and he said coldly: "Recognize your identity, and then dare to do things that you don't know the importance of, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes."
"Since you are the first offender and it is for the friendship of your classmates, you will not be held accountable this time."
"Thank you, Father."
Qi Yan got up from the ground, bowed her head and took a few steps back before turning around, clasping one hand on her abdomen, and walking towards the temple gate with heavy steps.
Before leaving the hall, he heavily squeezed the soft flesh on his lower abdomen before crossing the threshold.
Nangong Jingnv saw Qi Yan's pale face and raised her hand to support her arm.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yan actually dodged her body and looked at Nangong Jingnu with complicated eyes.
Nangong Jingnu was stinged by Qi Yan's gaze: "Consort?"
Qi Yan twitched the corners of his mouth hard, took a step back, and made a "please" gesture: "Your Highness, please first."
On the way out of the palace, Qi Yan always followed Nangong Jingnu one step behind. Nangong Jingnu stopped several times to let Qi Yan come to her side, but Qi Yan seemed to have been frightened, and lowered her eyebrows and said, "Don't dare to overstep."
Nangong Jing's nest was full of fire, and finally got on the carriage and asked, "What happened? Why did it suddenly happen?"
Qi Yan lowered her head on her knees, and replied in a sad tone: "In the past, this minister lost his duty without knowing the importance of it. In the future, he will be cautious in his words and deeds."
Nangong Jing kicked the small case with a woman, and the porcelain on it vibrated and said, "What are you talking about? When has this palace treated you so harshly?"
Qi Yan raised her head slowly, but stopped talking.
Nangong Jingnv saw that the striking scar on Qi Yan's left face was gone, so she took the initiative to sit beside Qi Yan and asked softly, "What did the royal father say?"
Qi Yan turned her head and looked at Nangong Jingnu with a slightly wary look: "Your Highness really didn't tell the royal father?"
Nangong Jingnu frowned slightly, such a look made her uncomfortable: "You don't believe in this palace?"
Qi Yan stared at the tea set on the small case and murmured, "I know everything about my father, I even know what I've seen with Bai Shi... My father let me know my identity, and then I dare to do something that is not important... Hugh Blame him for being ruthless."
Nangong Jingnu took a deep breath when she heard that, she held Qi Yan's fist on her knee, and said nervously, "Bengong really didn't say anything!"
Qi Yan was silent for a long time, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "The epidemic broke out in Jinzhou in the first year of Jingjia, and the minister was only ten years old. The people with the epidemic were concentrated in a house, and their screams of pain echoed at night. But no one who was locked in was able to come out alive, and in the end, a fire burned down the house together with the house... I have died once I'm a man, my eyes..."
Nangong Jingnu grabbed Qi Yan's hand and held it to her chest: "No, this palace will not let you die."
Qi Yan suffered the scourge of conscience and forced herself to look directly into the eyes of the other party: "His Royal Highness did not tell the father, who would it be?"
Back at Princess Zhen Zhen's mansion, Qiu Ju greeted her: "See Your Highness, Consort."
Nangong Jingnu glanced at it: "Where's Chuntao?"
Qiu Ju replied: "Chuntao went to the concubine's private house to collect the account book. I couldn't collect it when I was not in the capital last month, and today I just happened to have time to collect it together."
Nangong Jingnu sneered: "I don't go early or late. Why do I go at this time?"
Qiu Ju's heart skipped a beat, seeing the anger on her Highness' eyebrows, and then turned her attention to the concubine. But Qi Yan had already sorted out her emotions and had an indifferent expression.
Qiu Ju retracted her gaze and said after deliberation: "Last month, there was a backlog of things in the mansion. Today, His Royal Highness and the concubine don't need servants to serve them in the palace. That's why Chuntao is allowed to go, and it will be back in a while."
"Prince-in-law, go back to rest first, you come with this palace."
"Yes."
Nangong Jingnv took Qiu Ju back to the main hall and sent back all the maids.
A quarter of an hour later, Qiu Ju came out of the main hall with red eyes and came to the gate of the princess' residence.
When Chuntao returned to the mansion, she saw Qiu Ju guarding the door and asked in astonishment, "Why are you guarding here? Your Highness is coming back?"
Qiu Ju took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears: "His Royal Highness is in the main hall, I will ask you to come over."
Chuntao was shocked: "Why are you crying so well?"
Qiu Ju bit her lip: "His Royal Highness has lost his temper, you must restrain yourself in a while and don't talk back. Otherwise..." Qiu Ju did not continue, she knew that no one could keep Chuntao this time.
After more than 20 years of sisterhood, Qiu Ju accompanied Chuntao to the main hall, but they did not go in together.
After a while, Nangong Jingnu's scolding came out, Qiu Ju wiped her tears silently, and heard Chuntao's cry: "I haven't done it, I haven't done it, Your Highness can't put any shit on the slave, slave Can't afford it!"
The sound of broken porcelain came, Chuntao slammed open the hall door and ran away crying.
When Qiu Ju entered the hall, she saw Nangong Jingnu's chest heaving, she was very angry, and there was a broken teacup on the ground.
She leaned over to pick it up, but heard Nangong Jingnu say decisively: "Go and find out Chuntao's body immediately, then go to the treasury to get two hundred taels of silver and give it to her, and hire a carriage to let her today. Just leave the princess palace."
Regardless of whether Chuntao really did inform, the just contradicting is enough to punish him.
Nangong Jingnu still gave Chuntao a good arrangement: give her back her freedom.
Two hundred taels of silver is enough for Chuntao to buy a home and settle down, and spend the rest of her life in darkness.
