Nuhar's body froze as if frozen for a moment, he turned around slowly and looked over, first he saw the servant fell on the ground without sound, and Mo Xiuyu was looking at him with his arms crossed, half a smile , as if he was nothing more than a clown.
Nuhar almost didn't change his face, but he still restrained himself, took a deep breath, and looked towards the throne he dreamed of, only to see a beautiful young man sitting there at some point, with a pair of sparkling peach eyes smiling Looking at himself, he apologized without sincerity: "I'm so sorry to bother Your Highness so late!" The young man leaned lazily on the throne, with his right elbow resting on the armrest wrapped in white tiger skin, and his right hand resting on his chin , crossing Erlang's legs, so uncomfortable.
Nuhar stared at the throne without blinking, feeling turbulent in his heart.
The other party is warning yourself!
Without him, I would not be able to wear the royal robe at this moment; without him, I would still be living in the cracks; without him, I would not be able to easily kill the second prince and the third prince...
Thinking of the day of the palace change, the blood almost dyed the entire palace gate red, screams, running, weapons colliding, killing... one after another. If Nuhar hadn't been on the battlefield several times, I'm afraid he would have vomited.
But this Prince Xiao stood in the sea of blood as if nothing had happened, half of his face was splashed with the blood of an unknown number of people, but he didn't care, he didn't even bother to wipe it off, just looked at himself with a smile, and said calmly Start planning for the next step...
Until that moment, he didn't know why the son of Zhennan Prince of Dayu in Baiyue's rumors was like a ghost!
They have an old saying in Baiyue that the more beautiful a thing is, the more dangerous it is, so the more colorful a mushroom is, the more poisonous it is, and the more colorful a snake is, the more deadly it is... This Xiao Shizi is an evil ghost wearing a gorgeous human skin, A god of murder in the world!
"Shizi Xiao..." Nuhar blurted out.
Xiao Yi raised his brows, sat there arched his hands, and said: "Congratulations, Your Highness will be enthroned as king tomorrow!"
But Nuhar couldn't laugh anymore, his original good mood was gone, so what if he became king? Isn't he going to be controlled by others...
He gritted his teeth and bowed his head - in Baiyue, there is no kneeling salute, no prostration, the long bow salute he performed is already the etiquette for the inferior to the superior, and the courtiers to the king.
"Your Majesty Xiao is serious." Nuhar apologized with a stiff smile, "All of this depends on your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty will order today?" Good morning to his brother! Besides, when Xiao Yi is gone, he is still not the king above ten thousand people in Baiyue!
Nuhal quickly adjusted his mentality.
Xiao Yi looked at Nuhar clearly, and didn't miss the subtle changes in the other party's expression, and he didn't care, as long as Nuhar was obedient.
Going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, Xiao Yi's trip to the palace is certainly not to congratulate Nuhar on his upcoming enthronement.
"Your Highness, I want you to do one thing..."
Xiao Yi spoke slowly, and after hearing a few words, Nuhar could no longer restrain himself and suddenly raised his head, his face was full of astonishment, he did not expect Xiao Yi to make such a request...
But this request couldn't be simpler, and to Nuhar, it's just a matter of effort, and he certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to disobey Xiao Yi's intention.
Nuhar smiled and bowed: "Xiao Shizi, this is simple, I will give instructions immediately..."
"No rush, let's do it in a month." Xiao Yi stood up, straightened his robe and said, "It's a pity that this son can't stay and witness His Highness's enthronement ceremony with his own eyes."
Xiao Yi is leaving?! Nuhal's eyes lit up suddenly, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only say in a regretful tone: "Why didn't Prince Xiao stay for a few more days? Let Hao Bengong do his best as a landlord, Show Xiao Shizi to see my Baiyue style."
"That's true..." Xiao Yi pretended to be hesitant. Seeing that Nuhar's face froze and showed regret, he changed his tone, "It's a pity that my son has important matters and must return to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Nuhar was secretly relieved, and was about to say a few polite words, but the damned Prince of Dayu Zhennan said again: "However, Xiao Mo intends to have fun in Baiyue for a while, your Highness might as well How about treating Xiao Mo as if he were your real son?"
Following Xiao Yi's few words, Nuhal's heart jumped up and down, as if being tossed up and down for fun. After hearing this, Nuhar's forehead was already throbbing with blue veins. From what Xiao Yi meant, it was clear that he wanted to keep Mo Xiuyu and control himself!
damn...
Nuhar calmed down and said tentatively: "Shizi Xiao, the antidote for this palace..."
Xiao Yi glanced at Nuhar with a half-smile, "Your Highness, don't be impatient, hasn't this son left Baiyue yet? This son and His Highness have cooperated so happily, of course I hope it will last for a long time, Your Highness, don't worry. "
How can Nuhar be so lenient, but now is not the time to turn against Xiao Yi, he has just ascended the throne, the whole Baiyue is waiting to be rebuilt, the court has been cleaned and is still immature, and the surrounding small clans are still eyeing, At this time, I still have to secure the throne first and control the government.
Xiao Yi couldn't be more clear about what Nuhar was thinking, and that's why he fooled Nuhar into demolishing the city wall after the palace change. The government of Baiyue should have been relatively stable, but now Nuhar, because he is concerned about the remnants of the other princes, went too far to kill and replace all capable ministers, and the one who stays and replaces him is not Nuhar's The confidant is a mediocre person, and even in the process of cleaning, even he was able to install a lot of eyeliner... It can be seen that this Nuhar has a small vision, and it is difficult to become a master! If he wants to secure the throne, he has to rely on own strength.
Xiao Yi curled his lips slightly, and said: "It's getting late, Your Highness will ascend the throne tomorrow, so I won't bother you. Farewell!"
After Xiao Yi arched his hands, he turned and left without hesitation, while Mo Xiuyu looked back at Nuhar intentionally and mockingly, and then quickened his pace to follow Xiao Yi out of the palace.
The two of them left gracefully, and this night, Nuhar was destined not to be able to sleep, but it was originally because of excitement, but now he was full of worries.
long night...
On the other side, after Xiao Yi and Mo Xiuyu left the Baiyue Palace, they mounted their horses and headed straight for the north gate of Ruijiang City.
With the token of the fourth prince Nuhar, even if the gate of the city was closed, the soldiers guarding the city had to open the gate for the two of them.
After leaving the city gate, several elite soldiers were already waiting for Xiao Yi outside the city gate. This time, Xiao Yi basically left the hundred elite soldiers he brought this time to Mo Xiuyu so that he could act in Ruijiang City. Xiao Yi only took six elite soldiers with him when he returned to southern Xinjiang. For this reason, Mo Xiuyu was always a little uneasy.
He had already left the city, and he couldn't help but said again: "Master, you should bring twenty more people with you!"
Xiao Yi casually smiled: "Xiao Mo, when did you become such a mother-in-law!"
The pockmarked face on the side said with a smile: "Lieutenant Mo, don't worry. The subordinates will escort the son back to southern Xinjiang safely."
What else could Mo Xiuyu say, he could only say: "Then I wish the son a smooth journey!"
"If this drags on, it will be dawn soon, let's go!" Xiao Yi decisively clamped his horse's belly and rode away.
Six elite soldiers dressed as porters respectfully bid farewell to Mo Xiuyu, and immediately rushed up. The seven horses' hooves were flying, rumbling away gradually...
The most important purpose of this trip to southern Xinjiang has finally been completed!
Xiao Yi really wanted to put on his wings and fly back to the capital immediately. He traveled day and night, and rushed back to the Luoyue City camp as fast as possible.
Just like when he came from the capital last time, he came quietly, this time he returned quietly, only seeing Tian He alone.
After the success of Baiyue Palace, Xiao Yi immediately sent someone to inform Tian He immediately, so Tian He already knew the thrilling scenes and piles that happened in Baiyue...
"Master!" Tian He saluted Xiao Yi respectfully, his sharp eyes couldn't hide his respect, "Master, you have worked hard this time!" Master's trip to Baiyue will exchange for the exchange between Southern Xinjiang and Baiyue. At least ten years, or even longer Taiping, is really worth it!
"Sit down." Xiao Yi lazily sat across the desk from Tian He, a trace of exhaustion appeared on his face after traveling day and night.
He calmed down and said, "General Tian, next to Colonel Mo, I need to trouble the general to keep in touch with him at all times, and we must grasp the situation on Baiyue's side, so we can't fail!"
"Yes, my son!" Tian He hurriedly replied solemnly.
"Then please, General." Xiao Yi said solemnly, "I have been delayed in Baiyue for a long time, and I must return to the capital immediately to avoid the emperor's suspicion..."
"Why does my son need to say that, this is what the general should do."
As he said that, Tian He's eyes showed emotion, if it wasn't for the fact that the prince and his son were separated from each other, and the prince was short-sighted, why would the prince be so weak in southern Xinjiang? Do it yourself.
Tian He sighed in his heart, but because of this, he thought of another matter. He hesitated to speak, but he still said it: "My lord, three days ago, my lord brought Xiao Fang back from Mingqing Temple!"
After Tian He heard the news, he also wanted to send a message to Xiao Yi, but thinking that Xiao Yi was in danger in Baiyue, he must not distract Xiao Yi's heart because of Xiao Fang's affairs, so in the end he kept it a secret. Tian He didn't expect Xiao Fang to have such abilities. Now that she has been deprived of her imperial order and her reputation outside is ruined, Zhennan King also has a new concubine Wei, and even the second son Xiao Luan is not up to date. But just like this, Xiao Fang actually made King Zhennan soft-hearted to her again, and took her back from Mingqing Temple.
Xiao Yi was startled, only feeling a little surprised. Xiao Yi was not disappointed because he had already been completely disappointed with the King of Zhennan... Ever since he could remember, the King of Zhennan had been extremely fond of the Xiao Fang family. Fang's kindness and righteousness are absolute...
There was a gleam of cold light in Xiao Yi's eyes, anyway, to him, it was an unexpected surprise that Xiao Fang's life could be taken away. Now in the palace, the side concubine Wei has orders and grades, but the main wife, Xiao Fang, has no orders and no ranks. Isn't that not a wife or concubine, but a messy house, let them make trouble on their own.
"I see!" Xiao Yi nodded calmly, without any waves in his voice, and said, "General Tian, I will rest in Luoyue City for one night, and leave for the capital tomorrow."
There is a warm smile in Xiao Yi's peach blossom eyes, if he is quick, maybe he can catch up with the stinky girl to eat Lantern Festival...
…
"I don't know if Ah Yi will come back before the Lantern Festival..."
Baihui laughed and joked, "Master Shizi might be more anxious to come back than you."
Nangong Yue couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile, her eyebrows and eyes stretched even more, and said with a smile: "Then I have to finish this purse quickly, and I have to make a dress for A Yi... It will be spring when he comes back."
"Concubine Shizi, don't be in a hurry to take your time. This year's cold is late, and it will be later if you think it will be warm."
Nangong Yue didn't speak. After embroidering a few stitches, she said with deep meaning: "... I hope this cold winter will pass sooner."
"Big girl."
There was the sound of a maid saluting outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
Baihui went to open the door, Xiao Fei came in, bowed and said: "Sister-in-law."
Nangong Yue waved to her with a smile, and pulled her to sit on the arhat bed together. Xiao Fei casually glanced at the embroidery frame, and saw that it was a stone-blue silk cloth, on which two bamboo leaves had just been embroidered. .
Seeing the color of the handkerchief, Xiao Fei realized it, and asked: "Sister-in-law, are you embroidering handkerchiefs for elder brother?" There was a faint smile in her eyes, sister-in-law is really kind to elder brother!
Nangong Yue replied with a smile: "I'm about to embroider a purse for your elder brother..."
Xiao Fei persuaded her: "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard these few days, you should take a rest when you have time, so as not to wear yourself out."
"I just embroider a little every day." Nangong Yue remembered something, took out a few blueprints from the rattan frame at the side, and handed them to Xiao Fei, "Sister Fei, I'm going to make a suit of clothes for your elder brother, you Show me which one looks better."
Xiao Fei picked up the blueprints and looked at them one by one, and praised: "Sister-in-law, your paintings are really good!" The patterns on each blueprint are extremely complicated and detailed, there are flowers and birds, bamboo and pine, There are also some auspicious patterns.
Xiao Fei looked at one of the pictures of plum blossom mountain birds, and her attention was completely attracted by the colorful mountain birds in it. Not only was the mountain bird painted vividly, but the feathers on its body were colorful and beautifully rendered. Extremely.
Xiao Fei couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law, how much effort does it take to embroider the plum blossom mountain bird?"
Nangong Yue took the drawing and said casually: "If it is used as an embroidery screen, it will probably take two or three months. But it will be easier to embroider clothes, so it won't take so long..."
Two or three months?! Xiao Fei opened her mouth wide and blurted out: "Is that enough for me to read "Zuo Zhuan" again?"
The implication of her words is obviously that if she is, instead of spending time on female celebrities, it is better to read "Zuo Zhuan" again!
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed. With Xiao Fei's temperament, it's not surprising that she would say this.
"Sister-in-law." Xiao Fei said solemnly, "Mengzi's young man returned home after learning. Mengmu Fang Ji asked, 'Where did you learn to go?'... Mengmu cut the weaving with a knife. Mencius asked him in fear. Therefore... Mencius was afraid, so he studied diligently day and night, taught him what he thought, and became a famous Confucian in the world. The gentleman said that Meng Mu knew the way to be a mother."
This statement comes from "Biography of Lie Nu", which tells the story of "Meng Mu Duan Zhi", which is used to educate future generations to study hard and read more poems and books.
Xiao Fei stared at Nangong Yue with piercing eyes, her clear eyes seemed to be saying, "Sister-in-law, you see that Meng's mother broke the weaving to encourage Mencius to study, if you spend two or three months embroidering, why don't you read more books?" !
The smile in Nangong Yue's eyes grew stronger.
Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue seriously, hoping that she would agree with her point of view.
Nangong Yue thought for a while and said, "Sister Fei, do you know the "Water Lily Picture"?"
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, "Mrs. Mu Lian's 'Water Lily Picture'?"
"If there is no 'Water Lily Picture', how can there be a hundred years of peace in northern Xinjiang."
I am afraid that there is no girl in Dayu who does not know Mrs. Mulian, and the "Water Lily Picture" is even famous in history.
"Water Lily Picture" is not a painting, but a piece of embroidered cloth.
Three hundred years ago, in order to understand the danger of the city, Mrs. Mu Lian cleverly used an embroidered cloth "Water Lily Picture" with a hidden mystery to pass on a book, and cooperated with General An who was trapped in the city, and repelled them with a "wind and fire series plan". The Beidi army rescued the people in the city.
At that time, if it wasn't for the "Water Lily Picture", but just letters, even if the literary talent is world-class, I am afraid that it would not have reached the hands of General An.
Xiao Fei was thoughtful.
Xiao Fei likes to read books, which is not a bad thing, but Nangong Yue always feels that if she is always immersed in books and ignores things outside the window, her vision will be narrowed accordingly. Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, music and embroidery are all things to cultivate sentiment, Nangong Yue still hopes to encourage her to learn other things while reading.
Nangong Yue said with a smile on her lips: "Su Hui's "Picture of Xuanji" will last forever, but it's a pity that no one in the future can reproduce the mystery of "Picture of Xuanji"."
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, I want to learn from female celebrities!"
The sisters Lily and Baihui who were waiting in the room exchanged eyes, and they both laughed lightly.
The Crown Princess really seems to have raised a daughter...
Baihui brought in another sewing basket with a knowing mind. Nangong Yue personally chose the simplest pattern and taught her carefully.
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue asked softly, "Have you ever learned from female celebrities before?"
Xiao Fei replied honestly: "Mother... mother said that there are maids and embroiderers in the palace, and I don't need to learn these things." Mother never taught her so many things in detail like sister-in-law.
Nangong Yue looked at her slightly disappointed face, thought for a while and said: "Then I have to teach you from the stitches. There are about twenty kinds of stitches commonly used in embroidery. Today you start with the simplest stitches, back stitches and stitches." Needle and straight line embroidery started well."
Hearing that there are twenty kinds of stitches commonly used, Xiao Fei was almost dumbfounded. Although there are embroidery on dresses and handkerchiefs, Xiao Fei never paid much attention to it, that is, whether the embroidery is good or not. That's all.
Next, Nangong Yue demonstrated the three basic acupuncture techniques to Xiao Fei one by one, and then directly gave Xiao Fei the cyan handkerchief used for the demonstration.
Xiao Fei took the needle stiffly and began to inject it.
"ah!"
Xiao Fei suddenly let out a low cry, her finger was pricked by an embroidery needle, and a drop of bright red blood oozed from her finger, but Xiao Fei didn't care, took out a handkerchief to wipe it, then lowered her head and continued embroidered.
Nangong Yue blinked blankly, then laughed.
This Zhennan Prince's Mansion is a military general's family, although Xiao Fei usually looks like a girl from a scholarly family, but at this time, she does not have the frailty of a lady at all, but is as casual as Liu Niang.
Xiao Fei embroidered very seriously. Although the stitching was a bit crooked, it still looked the same.
Nangong Yue looked at her stitches and gave some pointers. Xiao Fei's cold eyes flashed a shyness, and she said: "Sister-in-law, I can't embroider well..."
Nangong Yue gently comforted her: "Just take your time. It's just 'hands-on familiarity'!"
Without him, only hand is familiar with you!
Xiao Fei's expression became much more relaxed, and she nodded solemnly: "Sister-in-law, I will practice hard when I go back."
The room was quiet, but the atmosphere was indescribably harmonious.
During the period, Baihui went out for a while, and came back after about a stick of incense, and nodded to Nangongyue.
Nangong Yue asked Xiao Fei to embroider by herself first, and then brought Baihui into the small study.
After closing the door, Baihui blessed Fushen and said: "Concubine, Zhu Xing just brought a word to say that after the emperor met Lord Lu Wenzhuo today, Long Yan was furious, summoned Commander Lu, and sent His Highness the Third Prince Called into the royal study."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and said, "Let Zhu Xing continue to send people to watch."
Baihui stepped back in response.
Nangong Yue pushed open the window, the oncoming cold wind made her shiver, but there was a faint smile on her face.
Winter always comes to an end...
But before spring came, the imperial academy was still as cold as ice. The emperor sat behind the imperial case with a sullen face, staring coldly at Han Lingfu who was kneeling in front of him.
Obviously the charcoal in the royal study was burning hot, but Han Lingfu's back was icy cold. He lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at the emperor's face.
The emperor said in a restrained voice: "Say! What did you do without telling me?!"
"Father..." Han Lingfu kowtowed deeply, "I don't know what I did wrong... My son..."
Han Lingfu was summoned from the mansion by someone ordered by the emperor, and he knelt here as soon as he arrived, not knowing what happened. But judging from the current situation, this matter is definitely not good.
Han Lingfu had a bad premonition in his heart, and his heartstrings were tensed.
"You don't know? Oh, you don't know!" The emperor picked up the inkstone and threw it at him.
Han Lingfu didn't dare to dodge, and let the inkstone hit his shoulder heavily, splashing ink everywhere.
Han Lingfu groaned, and said with pain: "Father, son..."
"Lu Huaining."
Lu Huaining took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "The minister is here!"
"You come and tell him." The emperor's chest heaved violently, obviously his mood was quite unstable, and Eunuch Liu hurried forward to comfort him.
Lu Huaining first cupped his hands towards Han Lingfu, and said casually: "Your Highness, the Third Prince, on the ninth and twelfth of December...you ordered someone to deliver a letter to Lord Lu Wenzhuo."
When he heard the emperor call Lu Huaining, Han Lingfu felt that something was wrong, and now his whole face turned pale.
Jin Yiwei! Father ordered Jin Yiwei to watch him!
Han Lingfu was really scared. He knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do.
Is the father really having real evidence, or is he just trying to scare him? Should he admit it...
When Han Lingfu was in a state of confusion, Lu Huaining continued: "Lord Lu Wenzhuo replied to you a letter on the afternoon of the twelfth, and the letter was intercepted by the minister and presented to the emperor. What was said in the letter , he will convict you in front of the emperor, but the handwritten letter you prepared is not enough to convict An Yihou of death. I would like to ask if you have any other evidence in hand. It must be more powerful, so that An Yihou can not be convicted. Turn over."
Han Lingfu had been waiting for Lu Wenzhuo's reply. Unexpectedly, the letter was answered, but it fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei.
He suddenly felt a basin of cold water being poured on his head.
After the trial, the emperor sneered and said: "... Lu Wenzhuo came to see me today, do you want to know what he said to me?" Without waiting for Han Lingfu to answer, the emperor continued, "He said that Marquis An Yi had an affair The evidence of the remaining crimes of the previous dynasty is conclusive, and the charges should be convicts as soon as possible, so as to be justified!... By the way, he also said that the peace talks with Baiyue have dragged on for a long time, and it should be concluded as soon as possible. Only in this way can I show my prosperity The demeanor of a big country. Well, my third prince, Dayu gave birth to you and raised you, but you want to help foreigners deal with Dayu!"
"My son dare not."
"Don't you dare? What else are you afraid of!?... Colluding with Baiyue, framing courtiers, wantonly framing, you evil son who has no king and no father!" The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he came out from behind the imperial case. Stepping up to Han Lingfu's side, he lifted his foot and kicked him on the shoulder forcefully. The emperor was also born in martial arts, and when he was young, he had marched and fought with the late emperor. In anger, he kicked Han Lingfu to the ground.
Han Lingfu didn't dare to cry out in pain, his heart was icy cold.
Why did things happen like this
He obviously just ordered someone to send a letter to Lu Wenzhuo, expressing that he was on the same side as him, and that they could join hands to deal with Guan Yubai, which was also a kind of gesture of favor. . I didn't ask him to ask his father to punish Guan Yubai now! Now is not the time...
First Pingyang Hou, then Lu Wenzhuo, why can everyone do good things like this?!
