This belated joy
After another half an hour, the fifth prince, Nangong Da also came.
His legs were inconvenient and he had to rely on a cane, and a good leg crossed the threshold first before dragging the sick leg over with difficulty.
"Fifth brother." Nangong Jingnu called out in a low voice.
Nangongda nodded, seeing that there was not even a futon in front of Nangongping's coffin, and ordered, "Bring two futons here."
The imperial concubine Zhao continued to translate the words, but Nangongda said firmly: "Sister-in-law, the deceased is respected. And it was the father who ordered our brothers and sisters to come here, and the elder brother deserves this worship."
The palace servant took a pair of futons, and the Zhao family gave up the throne to the eldest son, Nangong Da, and the boy immediately returned a salute.
Nangongda's words also reminded others, the second elder and the fourth elder brother looked at each other, and both came to the futon to make a bow.
Next is Nangong Jingnv and Qi Yan, and finally the third prince Nangong Wang.
…
Nangongda staggered to the front of the coffin, saw Nangong's bluish face, and said in amazement, "Brother, this..."
Li Zhaorong suddenly burst into tears, and the imperial concubine Zhao also burst into tears.
Li Zhaorong fainted due to excessive grief.
The fifth prince, Nangongda, stretched out his hand to help him, but because his feet were tired, he fell to the ground, his forehead hit the mouth of the coffin and blood flowed out.
The scene was chaotic for a while, Li Zhaorong was carried away, and Zhao bit her lip and put the two children in her arms and covered their mouths.
Seeing blood in the mourning hall, it is very unlucky to put it in any dynasty.
The palace people called Qingshui and knelt on the coffin and wiped the blood. Nangongda was carried to another palace to wait for the imperial doctor's treatment.
The air seemed to freeze, and the third prince Nangong looked at the pool of blood on the ground, and cold sweat broke out.
He ordered the murder of the person lying in the coffin. In order to put the blame on the most suspect second child, he did not make any cover up.
The tip said: The spread of the song will soon spread to Gyeonggi, and Nangong Rang also recovered his health, which is the best time to murder Nangong Ping.
The blood on the ground was wiped dry, leaving a pool of water stains, and Nangong Wang didn't want to think about it any longer.
He felt a pair of eyes staring at him, and when he looked up, he met Qi Yan's amber eyes.
Nangong Wang couldn't read any different emotions in the other's eyes, which was one of the reasons why he was afraid of Qi Yan.
He really couldn't think of what could make a scholar possess such a firm heart. At Nangong Jingnu's birthday banquet, Qi Yan knelt down without hesitation to persuade him to drink, which subverted Nangong Wang's cognition.
Returning to the Nangong Palace in Fuzhong to relive that scene again and again, the more I think about it, the more frightened I become...
Nangong Wang knew that he would never get rid of Qi Yan easily in his life.
Fortunately, this person is wholeheartedly assisting him... When he ascends to Dabao in the future, it is not impossible to make a high official and rich salary.
The sight of blood in the mourning hall alarmed the concubine Liang Liang of the main hall. She first sent someone to report the matter to Nangong Rang, and then put on a plain outfit and came to express her condolences.
Although Nangong Ping is not favored, he is the eldest son, and the mourning hall is located in her palace, so he should come because of his feelings and reason.
"Concubine Liang is here."
Nangong Jingnv's eyes flickered, since she had an argument with Nangong Lie, she hadn't seen Liangfei Niangniang for several years.
Everyone: "See Empress."
"Straighten without courtesy."
Concubine Liang glanced at the still-dry water stains, grabbed a handful of gold shovels and threw them into the brazier, and said to the imperial concubine Zhao: "My condolences and change, fortunately the eldest prince has blood, so let's raise them carefully. "
Zhao: "Thank you, Niangniang."
Concubine Liang looked around Nangong Jingnu's face for a while, then looked at Qi Yan again, and said softly, "You two imperial concubine and two grandsons are also cautious here, go with this palace to the main hall, if you want to come, Your Majesty will also It's going down soon."
"Yes."
After everyone left one after another, Mrs Zhao leaned on the edge of the coffin, touched Nangong Ping's bluish face and cried.
Nangong Ping died suddenly after having dinner last night. Qikong bleeds and Li Zhaorong entered Ganquan Palace in spite of the palace rules when he learned that his son was poisoned to death.
Nangong Rang looked at this gray-haired, twilight woman, and it took a long time to remember who she was.
Li Zhaorong, like a mad lioness, knelt on the ground and sternly asked Nangong Rang why he wanted to "give death" to Nangong Ping.
Their mother and son have always abide by the palace rules, and the only cause of death is that His Majesty wants to erase the stains in their lives.
Li Zhaorong offended Tianwei, but Nangong Rang did not commit the crime. He ordered the body of Nangong Ping to be carried into the palace, which is why the mourning hall was set up in the palace of Liang Fei...
The good concubine Ma sent his confidants to invite him several times, but the sixth prince, Nangong Lie, did not come, until a chorus came from outside the hall: Nangong, who had left the early dynasty, has come.
Concubine Liang hurriedly got up and went out to greet her with a "squeak" in her heart, and everyone knelt on the ground: "See your royal father."
Nangong Rang: "All get up."
Everyone kept their heads down, only Nangong Jingnu looked directly at Tianwei, she felt distressed when she saw her father's haggard face.
Nangong Rang looked around for a week: "Where are the niece and Lie'er?"
Forty-nine replied: "His Royal Highness Zhuohua caught a cold a few days ago, and the imperial doctor told the servant who was in charge of passing the decree that His Highness Zhuohua's fever had manifested itself in bed for a few days, and it was not easy to enter the palace. The sixth prince has already sent someone to pass it on, presumably It's almost here."
Nangong Rang nodded and rubbed his temples.
"Your imperial brother died young, and I called you all here today so that you can see him one last time. Once upon a time..."
A chorus suddenly came from outside the hall: "His Royal Highness is here."
Nangong Lie stepped into the hall, and a faint smell of alcohol wafted out. Although he was not dressed as gorgeously as usual today, his clothes were still not suitable for condolences.
Concubine Liang glared at Nangong Lie in disgust, and then turned to look at Nangong Rang, her heart was half cold.
Nangong Lie was drunk in Huaxiang last night, and the servants in the mansion received the imperial decree and ran several houses to find him. Nangong Lie didn't have time to go back to the mansion to change his clothes, and it was not until he entered Ganquan Palace that he heard that the Queen's confidant came to report that something was wrong.
"My son, see the father, the mother and the concubine."
Nangong Rang stood up slowly, and slammed on Nangong Lie's shoulder: "Bastard!"
Everyone in the hall knelt down again in unison, and Nangong Lie knelt down again, not daring to argue.
Concubine Liang bit her lip and silently knelt beside Nangong Rang, who turned a blind eye and said to Nangong Lie, "Stand up."
"Yes."
Before Nangong Lie could stand firm, Nangong Rang's slap slapped over: "Clap", blood oozes from the corner of Nangong Lie's mouth, and his cheeks immediately swelled up.
Nangong Rang angrily said, "You disloyal, unfilial, ruthless beast! There is such a big event in the palace, but you came here with the smell of alcohol?"
Nangong Lie knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Father, the emperor, calm down, my son knows it's wrong, please take care of the dragon's body."
Concubine Liang knelt on the side and wept sadly. Nangong Jingnu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw it. The royal father was obviously really angry this time.
Qi Yan lowered her head, listening to Nangong Rang's rapid breathing and slightly trembling voice, the feeling of joy was long overdue.
The fists hidden under the wide sleeves were clenched a little white, and the four fingers left deep nail prints on the palms, until the two forearms were numb, and the fists could not be clenched due to the lack of strength...
The only way to help her control her expression without revealing any clues.
Painful past events flashed by, before leaving, Abba pressed her shoulder and told her to take good care of her sister, and he would find them soon.
The mother's worried eyes and the fact that she wanted to take everything with her when packing up the luggage, fearing that the luggage was too heavy to become a burden to their sisters, were just as carefully selected.
Bayin was riding on the horse, and the little boy's eyes were filled with flames of hatred: Anda, they killed my father, I want to go back...
When they parted at the end of the road, Xiaodie's long call: Brother...
It's the pain, you should try it, old thief Nangong.
This is just the beginning, use your least despised son to get some interest first.
"Father!"
The crisp and sweet voice made Qi Yan's body shudder. She pulled away from her memory and madness, and saw Nangong Jingnu rushed forward and hugged Nangong Rang's arm.
"Father, don't fight again, the sixth brother already knows it's wrong, and we feel bad when the eldest brother goes, you take care of the dragon body."
Nangong Rang looked at his beloved daughter and at the other sons, and fell into the chair as if he had aged many years in an instant.
He has always regarded Nangong Ping's mother and son as a stain on his life, and he has never seen their mother and son for so many years.
If it wasn't for Li Zhaorong risking his life to break into the palace last night, he might have forgotten the existence of such a person.
Looking at Li Zhaorong's gray-haired old-fashioned state, Nangong Rang was stunned for a long time: he couldn't match the person in front of him with the girl in his memory.
Although the memories of his youth were also blurred, he vaguely remembered that the maid had several looks.
Who is this old woman with wrinkles covering her forehead in front of her
Listening to Li Zhaorong's hysterical questioning, Nangong Rang realized that the son who had never been favored by him had been killed.
…
He ordered someone to carry Nangongping's corpse into the palace, lifted the white cloth and saw his seven holes bleeding, almost unsteady.
Humans are such complex and peculiar creatures. It was not until Nangong Ping's father passed away one step before that he completely awakened Nangong Rang's pity.
The reason why he beat Nangong Lie was not just because of Nangong Lie's wicked character, but because of the guilt in his heart that could no longer be compensated.
The good concubine Ma sees this clearly, and she has known the person beside her for more than 20 years.
It's a pity that this son has grown up and won't even listen to his mother...
Nangong ordered someone to escort Nangong Lie back to the mansion. He was not allowed to step out of the mansion gate for three months. If he violated the guard's right to break his legs.
After Nangong Lie was defeated, Nangong Rang turned his head to Concubine Liang and said, "What are you doing on your knees? Get up."
"Chen and concubine are guilty, and they have no way to teach their children. Please punish your majesty."
"I never like to express my anger. I have heard about the stubbornness of this evil beast. I naturally know your hardships. Get up."
Qi Yan sneered secretly, contempt in her heart to the extreme.
Nangong Jingnv personally helped Concubine Liang up, and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe the tears from her face: "Niangniang, don't be too sad, take care of your body."
Concubine Liang: "Your Highness has a heart."
Nangong Rang also took the opportunity to admonish a group of imperial heirs to be courteous and affectionate, so they dispersed.
It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Qi Yan took Nangong Jingnu's shoulders and said softly, "Your Highness condolences."
Nangong Jingnu stared blankly at the car window and murmured, "I thought my eldest brother and I had nothing to do with each other, because I saw him only a handful of times since I was a child... But today, looking at his coffin is a no-brainer. the taste."
Qi Yan tapped Nangong Jingnu's forehead with her chin: "His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, and blood is thicker than water..."
Nangong Jingnv leaned on Qi Yan's shoulder, one hand naturally rested on Qi Yan's chest, and said quietly, "I always feel that I am still young, and the emperor is like a majestic mountain standing behind me. , He is so kind and omnipotent... But today, when I saw Empress Zhaorong, her gray hair, and... I suddenly found out that the emperor was also old. When he started to beat the sixth brother, I really I am so worried that his body will not be able to bear it, and seeing the concubine Liang weeping sadly, I can't help but think of things when I was a child, and I don't want the concubine Liang to be so sad."
Qi Yan listened quietly, but Nangong Jingnu was silent.
After a while, she murmured in a low voice: "You say, why is it different from before?"
Qi Yan's back was a little stiff, she turned her head and dropped a comforting kiss on Nangong Jingnu's forehead: "I can't explain these things."
Nangong Jingnu twitched the corners of her mouth: "Is there something you can't tell?"
Qi Yan's eyes flashed, and he said a pun: "There are many things that I can't explain."
Nangong Jingnv's expression finally relaxed, she chose a comfortable position to nest in Qi Yan's arms: "Thank you for reminding me to change my clothes today, otherwise something will go wrong. Poor eldest brother's pair of children, so young without a father ."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I believe that Your Majesty will not treat the two grandsons badly."
"hope so."
"Your Highness..."
"Um?"
"Today, I can't go back to the princess' mansion."
"Bengong knows, let the driver take you back first."
…
Three days later, Nangong Ping's coffin set out, and the eldest son Nangong Mei helped the coffin, and Nangong Rang did not give Nangong Ping any posthumous seals, but made two intriguing decrees.
Nangong Ping's eldest son, Nangong Mei, was named Jun Wang, Nangong Ping's second son, Nangong Lan Leyang Marquis, and hereditary replacement for three generations.
In addition, he made an exception to allow Li Zhaorong to enter the palace of the county king, and be supported by the imperial concubine Zhao's family and the king of the county.
According to the court ceremony of the Wei Kingdom, only the son of the prince can be called the king of the county. Although he has no gift to Nangong Ping himself, he has actually raised his identity for Nangong Ping.
This matter came to an end, Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnu made an appointment to come to Zhuohua Princess Mansion to visit Nangong Shunv.
"Second sister, how are you... like?" Nangong Jingnu rubbed her eyes and stood where she was, not daring to move.
Even Qi Yan showed an unexpected expression and looked away.
In the bedroom, Ji Ya was lying on the bed of Nangong Shunv, pressing the owner of the bed.
