Nangong Yu was slightly startled when he heard this, then his stern face was as cold as thousand-year-old ice, and he thought to himself, it seems that he still underestimated Shui Lianyue.
"Your Majesty, please make up your mind quickly. If you are late, it will be too late." Qing Niao looked at Nangong Yu and saw that he was deep in thought. His face suddenly became anxious, and the footsteps of Jinhua Juwai were getting closer and closer.
"Nangong Ling has spent so much time this time and will never let me escape easily. You two should hide quickly. After I leave, rush to Uge City and Yingdu to pass on my order and stand still. "Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed and pardoned."
Qing Niao and Mo Yun were shocked after hearing what Nangong Yu meant. Qing Niao understood what Nangong Yu meant, but Mo Yun was unwilling to accept it and asked anxiously: "My lord, do you really want to capture him without mercy?"
Nangong Yu glanced at Mo Yun and shouted coldly at Qing Niao: "Qing Niao, why don't you take Mo Yun away with you?" [
"Your Majesty," Mo Yun wanted to say something else, but Qing Niao stepped forward and grabbed Mo Yun's arm. She struggled desperately, but in desperation, Qing Niao had no choice but to tap her sleeping point and hug her sideways. His eyes met Nangong Yu's dark eyes, and he understood in his heart. He turned around and ran towards the backyard of Jinhua Residence, leaving decisively.
Butler He got up from the ground, and before he could speak, he heard Han Shiming leading people into Jinhua Residence. When the Imperial Guards behind him saw Nangong Yu, they all pulled out their knives. Seeing this, Han Shiming waved his hand behind him. He yelled: "That's not polite." After the imperial guards put away their long swords, he slowly stepped forward and came to Nangong Yu. He bowed his hands and said respectfully: "This time, I have followed the emperor's order to capture the prince. If you have offended someone, please ask the prince to atone for your sins, cooperate with the subordinates, and do not make things difficult for the subordinates."
"Why did the emperor want to arrest the prince? At least I have to give you a reason. I just heard that Governor Han was following the emperor's order to arrest the "rebellious" ministers and traitors. I dare you to say that he is talking about my prince? How can this be the case? My prince is just and honest. He was loyal to the emperor and devoted himself to Jin Xi until he died. How could Governor Han casually accuse my prince of such unwarranted charges?" Steward He stepped forward and blocked Nangong Yu. No longer caring about etiquette, he glared at Han Shiming and asked.
"How dare you, you are just a janitor, how dare you talk to this governor like this? How presumptuous." When Han Shiming heard this, he immediately became angry, pointed at the steward and shouted coldly.
Just when Han Shiming was about to order people to take down Butler He, Nangong Yu pushed aside Butler He and walked to Han Shiming. The gloomy look on his face disappeared, replaced with a smile and said: "Why should Governor Han argue with a steward? Moreover, What he said is correct. My loyalty to Jin Xi can be seen from time to time. Over the years, I have been keeping my peace and have never done anything to disgrace the emperor. Governor Han will accuse this king of "rebellious" ministers and traitors. Isn’t it disrespectful to the king to put his head on his head?”
Han Shiming was startled, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Nangong Yu helplessly and said: "Xiaoguan just said that he was following the emperor's order. Moreover, if there is no emperor's order, even if the official has 10,000 courage, he will not be able to do it." I don't dare to be so disrespectful to the prince, and I also ask the prince not to make it difficult for me to be dismissed. The cause and effect of the matter will be known when I meet the emperor and ask him personally."
Nangong Yu snorted lightly, put away the slight smile on his face, looked directly at Han Shiming with his dark eyes, and said calmly: "Okay, I will go with you on this trip."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward. Han Shiming stepped aside slightly, and the imperial guards behind him also made way. Butler He stood there, watching the prince's back being submerged in the ranks of the imperial guards, with tears streaming down his face. The prince was devoted to Jin Xi and was extremely loyal. Even if he was targeting the emperor and the queen mother, it was because they had wronged the prince first, and now, with just one sentence, they would convict the prince of being a traitor to his ministers. It seems that the emperor and the queen mother were cruel this time.
The gate of Prince Yu's Mansion was crowded with officers, soldiers, imperial guards, and people from Xiaoqi Camp. Zhong Cheng, Jiao Guanghai, Yin Mingshan and others stood outside the gate. When they saw Nangong Yu, their eyes flashed with helplessness. , King Yu has been keeping his peace in the capital these years. After handing over military power, he has not interfered with the affairs of the court. He is impartial and considerate of the people. However, this time the emperor's evidence is conclusive and King Yu does have the intention to rebel. They are just following orders. Although I feel sorry for King Yu, as a court official of Jin Xi, I naturally have to maintain the Jin Xi Dynasty with the salary from the court, and I cannot let go of those who have the intention of rebellious.
"Your Majesty," after seeing Nangong Yu, several people bowed first. Then, after Nangong Yu got on the carriage, the group of people walked towards the palace in a mighty manner.
Due to the martial law in the capital, the people in every household went into hiding, but there were still some who were bold enough to go out and watch. When they saw the Imperial Forest Army and the people from the Xiaoqi Camp coming out of Prince Yu's Mansion, they knew in their hearts that it didn't take long for this to happen. Rumors spread in every corner of the capital that King Yu had been arrested by the emperor. Some people with good intentions, after learning a little bit of the inside story, spread rumors everywhere that King Yu had the intention of treason and was a traitor to the "rebellious" ministers.
In other words, Shui Lianyue was brought into the palace by Xiao Lingzi, and was placed in Jingxue Pavilion, and two palace maids were sent to serve her. This place is very close to the inner palace, the scenery is elegant, and it is extremely remote. Very few people come here. Come.
Just as Shui Lianyue had settled down Hongying and others, Nangong Ling came to Jingxuexuan. After ousting the palace maids, Shui Lianyue and him were the only ones left in the room. He seemed to be in a good mood, sitting leisurely on his chair with his arms raised. He had his legs raised, and he was wearing a moon-colored slim-fitting brocade suit, which made his handsome appearance even more handsome, and his deep eyes also contained a smile.
Shui Lianyue sat aside, looking at him indifferently, thinking in her heart that Nangong Yu had always been a thorn in his side, and now that he could get rid of Nangong Yu so smoothly, he was naturally happy, but he seemed to have completely forgotten , the serious consequences of doing so will far outweigh the benefits.
"Now that your mission has been completed, you can stay in the palace from now on. I will give you the best life. Whatever you want, I will get it for you. Even the position of queen, I will not be stingy with it. I’ll give you a reward, but you have to be calm and don’t think about escaping, otherwise, I can’t guarantee that your family will not be affected. Do you understand?” After a long time, Nangong Ling said, with a wave of emotion on his lips. With a dazzling smile, there was also a hint of ruthlessness.
"Is the emperor going to put me under house arrest? Now that the mission is completed, I am no longer needed. The emperor should know what I want most. The position of queen, glory and wealth are insignificant to me. I want freedom, so please, the emperor It can be accomplished," Shui Lianyue said lightly. Although she knew that Nangong Ling would never let her go, she still wanted to fight for it.
Nangong Ling seemed a little dissatisfied with Shui Lianyue's words. The smile on her lips disappeared, a sharp look flashed across her eyes, and her voice was a little colder and she said: "Didn't you hear what I just said? Do you want to I will give it to you, and I hope you can be more at ease, and don’t think that I dare not do anything to you.”
"You are the emperor, so naturally you have the final say. However, I just want freedom. Now that you have fulfilled your wish regarding Nangong Yu, why are you still unwilling to let me go? If what you want is the secret of the Jinling Palace treasure, then Let me tell you, I don’t know anything. Whether you believe it or not, even if you put me under house arrest for the rest of my life, I don’t know. I just heard that piece of music accidentally. As for the treasure, I don’t know at all. ”.
"Pa", Nangong Ling slapped the corner of the table with his palm, stood up immediately, frowned and glared at Shui Lianyue and shouted: "I will not force you to learn the secret of the treasures of Jinling Palace. I am already the master of a country. I want Feng to get it." If the wind wants the rain to come, it will rain. I disdain that little treasure, so just stay here obediently. When Nangong Yu's matter is settled, I will make you the queen of Jin Xi. Whether you are willing or not, you will You are my people, I say it one last time, don’t try to escape, because I have laid a dragnet around you, and you can’t escape at all.” [
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Ling walked out the door angrily. Shui Lianyue looked at his back, a chill flashed in her eyes, "Queen? Ha, she is already the princess of King Yu. If Nangong Ling dares to grant the title As a queen, I believe that the Empress Dowager Chu would not agree to it first. Even if the Empress Dowager Chu reluctantly agreed, the imperial concubine Situ Wan would not let her have her wish. Her father is a general who governs the country and has high prestige in the court. When the time comes, , instigating all the civil and military officials to write a letter to oppose it, Nangong Ling was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, oh, such a promise, it's lucky that he dared to say it out.
She wanted to see how Nangong Ling would deal with herself.
Nangong Yu was brought into the palace by Han Shiming and others, but they did not lead him to see the emperor. Before he entered the inner palace, he was taken away by a group of guards holding the token given by the emperor and imprisoned in a hidden place in the inner palace. In the dungeon, except for Nangong Ling himself and his secret guards, no one else knew about it at all.
In the dark and damp dungeon, only a small ray of light refracted in through the gap, and the musty and rancid smell rushed into his nose, making Nangong Yu feel nauseated. He finally got used to it and ushered in nightfall again. All those centipedes, scorpions, rats, and cockroaches crawled out to move around. He picked up branches nearby and kept driving them away.
After a while, the small opening of the dungeon opened, and a small basket tied with a rope fell down. Inside was a steamed bun and a plate of dusty pickles. Nangong Yu could barely see clearly with the luminous pearl he was carrying, So he put it aside. It's not that he is precious. During the war, he ate chaffy vegetables. What's more, this is already very good. It's just that he has no appetite. Now, the internal strength of the body is suppressed by the medicine. , he was just a piece of fish that could be slaughtered by others. He couldn't figure out when exactly Nangong Ling's people gave him the "drug"?
The steamed buns and pickles were put aside, and soon a mouse and cockroach crawled over and took possession of it. Nangong Yu frowned slightly, looking at the mouse and cockroach snatching the food, and raised the corners of his mouth with a disdainful smile, Nangong Yu Does Ling think that everything will be fine if he catches him? He is wrong. His efforts in the capital over the years have not been in vain. It may not be that easy to convict him.
He raised his head and looked at the darkness around him. In a flash, the disdainful smile turned into self-mockery. He never expected that Nangong Ling would lock him in such a secret dungeon in the inner palace. It seemed that this time he really He had made strict arrangements, fearing that he might be executed secretly. This time, he overestimated himself and underestimated Nangong Ling. Even if his people broke into the palace, they might not be able to find him.
