After getting rid of Nangong Lingfeng, the emperor will then clean up the people who have had close relations with the Nangong family before. This is no longer a secret, and it is something that everyone understands.
Queen Nangong Liu Xi has not seen the emperor since Nangong Lingfeng was imprisoned. At first, she couldn't see him, but later she didn't want to see him.
When Nangong Lingfeng died, not only Nangong Nuoer fell, but Nangong Liu Xi also fell seriously ill. But now, she had to come to see the emperor.
This time there was no one to stop her, and the emperor did not say goodbye perfunctorily. Nangong Liuxi met Lin Yunlong smoothly. After the meeting, he got straight to the point and directly told the purpose of her coming. Now they have said nothing else.
It's necessary.
"The emperor will kill the prince soon, right?" Nangong Liuxi looked at Lin Yunlong with dull eyes and asked. She knew him after so many years of marriage. "No matter what, he is our son, the emperor."
Can't we let him go this time for the sake of father and son?"
"The relationship between father and son..." Lin Yunlong repeated these four words from Nangong Liu Xi's mouth, "As a mother, since you can come to me to plead for your son today, why couldn't you dissuade him in the first place?
What did he do? Just as the queen said, I can indeed spare him this time for the sake of father and son, but I want to know, when my son poisoned me, did he ever think about the relationship between father and son?
What about the word "share"? Queen, Yichen has grown up under your eyes since he was a child. How did you teach him to be like this? I am very curious!"
Nangong Liu Xi's coming to see the emperor today is undoubtedly aggravating, and she herself does not expect to escape this disaster. She can no longer sit still in the position of queen, Nangong's family is gone, and she, the master of the harem, has long since
She had lost her previous edge. She could no longer control the concubines in the harem, and Nangong Liu Xi knew this very well.
"I am willing to take responsibility for my fault. It's just Tai...but Yichen is still young. I hope the emperor will give him a chance."
Nangong Liuxi knelt down in front of Lin Yunlong. Lin Yunlong looked down at this always proud woman and was not moved by it.
Lin Yunlong also knows what kind of woman Nangong Liu Xi is. There are only two reasons for kneeling down, one is with a purpose, and the other is because he really knows that he is wrong. Lin Yunlong does not feel that Nangong Liu Xi is doing what he is doing now
It would fall into the latter category, it’s just acting, anyone can do it.
"I will fulfill your wishes and will not forget your affairs. As a queen, I just hope that you can manage the harem for me, and you will never get involved with the ministers in the court through various relationships.
Women cannot interfere in the affairs of the court. I don’t believe you, Queen, will not understand such a simple thing. It is precisely because of this that I will be even more angry."
Nangong Liu Xi has been secretly paving the way for Lin Yichen. How could Lin Yunlong not know about this?
"You can't protect yourself now, so don't think too much about other people's affairs." Lin Yunlong looked at Nangong Liu Xi indifferently, then turned and left. "Go back, I don't want to see you."
Nangong Liuxi anxiously called the emperor several times, but Lin Yunlong didn't turn around. After kneeling for a while, she slowly stood up, lowered her head, and walked out of Lin Yunlong's palace with a pale face.
It was impossible to get Lin Yunlong's mercy. The despairing Nangong Liuxi walked back with the help of the palace maid. Lin Yunlong now forbids her to meet Lin Yichen. She misses her son and fears for her life.
, and the body had not fully recovered, so Nangong Liuxi collapsed again after returning. The children of the Nangong family were not weak and sick, but the successive misfortunes still made it unbearable for the few remaining Nangong family members.
.
Nangong Nuo'er locked herself in her room for several days without eating or drinking. When she came out again, she had lost a lot of weight.
The first person Nangong Nuoer saw after walking out of the house was Lin Yixiang. The two stood at the door of the adjacent room and looked at each other for a moment, and then walked in different directions. Lin Yixiang left the house, and Nangong Nuoer
I walked around the house, then walked to a higher place in the house, stood on the attic and stared at this "home" that belonged to me.
Lin Yixiang left the palace and came to a better place with Lin Yinan. These days, he has been thinking about Lu Zhiyao, the Xia family, and the Xia Han who might still be alive in this world. So he deliberately went to the emperor's
I mentioned this person in front of me. Since I couldn't find her, I had no choice but to borrow the emperor's power.
The people of Qingming Kingdom have always wanted to find Xia Han, but they have never been able to find him. Now that he calms down and thinks about it, the only person left with the ability to protect Xia Han so well is Lin Yinan. Lu Zhiyao
Because the Xia family looked at him strangely, Lin Yixiang felt more and more that his idea was right.
The emperor issued a decree and decided to send Lin Yichen to Qizhou. Qizhou is a small place located in the northwest of Xia Lai Kingdom, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The emperor nominally asked Lin Yichen to go there and become the King of Qiyang, but in fact everyone wanted to go there.
Understand, the emperor "exiled" the former prince.
Lin Yixiang planned to let Lin Yichen kill him on the way to Qizhou. With the emperor's order, Lin Yinan naturally came to help. And this time, Lin Yinan didn't seem to be unhappy.
"Why didn't you choose to meet at the house?" Lin Yixiang saw the person and sat directly opposite him.
"It's different everywhere. It's just a few words, and then I left." Lin Yinan didn't even raise his head, "How many people do you want?"
"How many can I give?"
"Actually, I don't want to give any of them." Lin Yinan finally glanced at Lin Yixiang, "Almost all the people over there are gone. There is only one Luo Yunzheng left. Can I help you catch him?"
"I don't care, our ultimate goal is not to protect the prince anyway." Lin Yixiang smiled strangely, "By the way, do you have time to accompany me?"
"Where to go?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Lin Yixiang deliberately wanted to show off and took Lin Yinan to the place he said. When Lin Yinan arrived nearby, he had already guessed what he wanted to take him to see.
This is Xia Yao's tomb. As for the reason why Lin Yixiang brought him here, Lin Yinan has to speculate carefully.
"Eighth brother, how many years has it been since my mother died? Do you still remember?" Lin Yixiang sat on the ground leaning against the tombstone and looked up at Lin Yinan and asked.
"How could I forget that you brought me here just to ask this?"
"I just feel that it's been too long since we two brothers sat down and had a good chat."
Lin Yixiang casually pulled up a weed on the ground. There were many princes and princesses in the palace, but after all, only Lin Yinan was the closest to him.
"You and I have worked hard for so many years, but I know that we are thinking about the same thing. We all want to find out about mother's hatred and the cause of mother's death. There is a reason why I have stayed with the prince and queen for so many years.
, but I have searched for so long, but I still can't find any evidence to prove that it was them. I know very well that you have not had a good life these years, and I will always remember your kindness in drinking that poison for me.
If there is anyone in the royal family whom I do not want to oppose, then this person is only you."
"We should be able to say these things even if we don't come here, right?" Lin Yinan looked past Lin Yixiang and looked at the tombstone behind him. This thing was not there last time he came here. It should have been put up by Lin Yixiang recently.
"I can't let go of Xia Yao, even though she is already dead." Lin Yixiang sighed deeply, and said slowly under Lin Yinan's complicated eyes: "It may be a bit ridiculous to realize this after going through so many things.
, but it’s better than never understanding your own heart. I know that Xia Yao’s sister is in your hands. If you can, please leave her to me and I will take good care of her."
"What do you mean? Do you want to marry Xia Han into Prince Luo's palace?" Lin Yinan smiled jokingly and did not deny the fact that he knew where Xia Han was.
"How is it possible? It's too late for her to hate me. Besides, I won't do anything to Xia Yao's sister." Lin Yixiang paused, pondered for a while and then asked: "You like that woman Lu Zhiyao, don't you?"
"Yes." Lin Yinan nodded directly without any hesitation and answered, "That's right."
"Don't you think she's weird?" Lin Yixiang frowned in confusion, "I finally got to this point, and I hope you can always be by my side in the future. So I have nothing to do with you and Lu Zhiyao.
I won't hesitate to ask. To tell you the truth, I sent someone to investigate her. I found it very strange that she had never learned kung fu in the prime minister's house over the years, but she was as good as she is now. She had no contact with Xia Yao before.
, but care so much about me killing the Xia family. Yinan, haven’t you ever thought that she married you for a purpose?”
"It was me who wanted to marry her, not her who took the initiative to marry me." Lin Yinan was unmoved, "Maybe my father didn't tell you about this, but it was me who asked for this marriage at that time.
.You brought me here today just because you wanted to ask me about something far away. In fact, you don’t have to go around in such a big circle. You can ask anywhere. It’s just whether I want to give you the answer or not.”
Lin Yinan took two steps forward and sat next to Lin Yixiang. He tilted his head and looked at the tombstone on the side. There were several words clearly engraved on it. Lin Yinan only took one look and didn't want to read any more.
She is indeed Lin Yixiang's wife, he shouldn't care about this.
"As you said, there are indeed many mysteries in Zhiyao, but even so, it still can't change anything. I have already told you some things before, so I won't say them again. I just want to tell you, you
Yes, you are my imperial brother, but don’t even think about touching my woman. I understand your desire to use Xia Han to perform meritorious deeds, but I’m sorry, I can’t hand Xia Han over to you. Maybe you mentioned Xia Han today because you were serving your father.
Maybe you really have a conscience and want to be nice to her. No matter which way it is, my answer is the same. If Xia Han doesn't give up, Lu Zhiyao won't give up. Whatever you want to know, you can do it yourself if you have the ability.
Go check it out and don’t expect to hear a single word of the answer from my mouth.”
"You really risked your life for this woman."
"Everyone has their own ambitions. You have done so much for the throne, why can't I work hard for what I want?" Lin Yinan smiled noncommittally, "I won't do anything to you until my mother's matter is investigated clearly.
Like that. I hope you do the same. How about we wait until later to talk about everything?"
Lin Yixiang and Lin Yinan looked at each other for a moment and said "Okay".
"But I will definitely continue to investigate what I want to know. The woman in your family seems to be very trouble-making. Take care of her and don't mess with my affairs."
Lin Yixiang's warning made Lin Yinan chuckle twice, "I can't guarantee this."
He really couldn't guarantee it, because he couldn't control what Lu Zhiyao did, and he didn't want to control it. "I'm leaving. You can stay here for a while. The noble prince came to see the sinner's daughter. Someone discovered that he was treating you.
