The appearance of Nanmen Xu finally made this matter completely clear.
Nanmen Ding never imagined that this son would have joined forces with Emperor Qiwen.
He was angry and unwilling, but now, he was helpless.
"Your Majesty, the Duke is not seriously ill for the time being, but he is indeed not easily irritated. If he can rest peacefully, he will be able to recover a little."
Feng Jiu stepped out of the inner hall and reported the situation at hand to Emperor Qiwen.
Emperor Qiwen nodded, and Feng Jiu stepped aside and looked at Nanmen Xu who had just entered the door.
The Grand Duke said impartially: "The Duke has promised to hand over the military talisman to Prince Xu. Can the military talisman in the general's hand be passed on to Prince Xu?"
After all, he is a descendant of their Nanmen clan, or his biological son. Although this son has always been ignored, it is better than giving the military talisman to a foreigner, right?
Nanmen Ding stared at Nanmen Xu. After suppressing the anger of being betrayed, his mood gradually calmed down.
He has always treated his son badly and never given him a good look. Now that his son betrays him, it is not surprising.
Emperor Qiwen also saw that his son had done nothing, and believed that he was a useless and incompetent person who could only be controlled by him in the future.
But in fact, how could he, a father, not know that these six sons are definitely not as incompetent as they appear on the surface.
He didn't like him just because he killed his mother when he was born. He also liked his mother at the beginning... All the past events came to mind. Nanmen Ding looked at Nanmen Xu again, resentment in his eyes.
It gradually faded away a lot.
"Father, please rest assured that my son will be able to lead the disciples of the South Gate well, continue to assist the Holy One, and protect the great country of our country, Beimu."
Nanmen Xu bowed deeply to him, with a proud smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
My son is hiding his strength. This proud smile is just for Emperor Qiwen to see, so that the emperor really thinks that he is such a superficial person.
Nanmen Xu's show-off smile made Nanmen Ding inexplicably feel at ease.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Emperor Qiwen has reached this point, and he himself is riding a tiger. The military power of the Nanmen clan today will definitely not continue to fall into his or his father's hands.
In this case, it is better to hand over the military power to his son than to let Emperor Qiwen ponder over his intentions of taking away his military talismans and handing them over to foreigners.
Nanmen Ding gritted his teeth. Although his mood had calmed down, he still had to help his son in front of Emperor Qiwen.
"You unfilial son, you have wronged me... you have wronged me..." He couldn't say a word, so he was so angry that he almost fainted. Finally, he snorted coldly and said angrily: "Since the Holy One has given me the Nanmen clan,
Now that we have arranged our escape route, what else can I say?"
"This is the best. Grand Eunuch, please immediately arrange for the Duke to recuperate in the palace. General Nanmen also asked Xiu to write a letter so that Prince Xu can go back and explain to everyone."
Emperor Qiwen was overjoyed, and Nanmen Xu couldn't hide his proud and excited look: "Father, my son has prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, please."
As soon as he said this, a young eunuch brought him pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Nanmen Ding clenched his fists and looked at Nanmen Xu again. The latter still had a proud smile on his face. After that, he sighed and actually wrote the letter, telling everyone that he would pass the military talisman to Nanmen.
Menxu.
Nanmen Rong seemed to be quiet at the side, and she didn't know what she was thinking. But just when Nanmen Ding had finished writing the letter and was about to hand it to Nanmen Xu, she suddenly jumped up and broke away from the two men.
The guard actually rushed towards the letter.
The letter cannot be taken back by Nanmenxu, nor can Nanmenxu take over the military talisman.
Everything in the Nanmen clan belongs to her, everything is hers! Without all of this, what would she have relied on before?
She really had nothing left! Everyone's attention was focused on the letter in Nanmen Ding's hand. No one thought that Concubine Rong, who had been beaten until she almost passed out, might even jump up and fight back.
Just when Nan Menrong's hand almost touched the letter, suddenly, a white figure swooped over and clasped Nan Menrong's shoulders with five fingers, pulling her back.
"You..." His lips were slightly swollen, but Nan Menrong still couldn't say much.
Feng Jiu took her down and clasped her hands behind her back. She turned back to look at Emperor Qiwen and said calmly: "Your Majesty, why don't you escort this woman to the prison first?"
Emperor Qiwen did not refuse. He had already told him before that Nanmen Rong was handed over to Feng Jiu and asked her to handle it.
He didn't know what "she" wanted from Nan Menrong, but he never refused what "she" wanted.
Emperor Qiwen nodded, and Feng Jiu escorted Nanmen Rong away. From the beginning to the end, there was no eye contact between her and Nanmen Xu, but Nanmen Xu looked at her several times, hesitating to speak.
appearance.
After Feng Jiu and Nanmen Rong left, the Grand Eunuch went over and delivered the letter in Nanmen Ding's hand to Nanmen Xu.
Nanmen Xu took it with both hands and immediately bowed to Emperor Qiwen and said: "Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down."
Emperor Qiwen didn't say anything. He didn't have much affection for an incompetent and greedy person. Giving him the military talisman was only temporary. One day, he would take it back, but now was not the time.
Nanmen Ding glanced at Nanmen Xu. Even though he still had many doubts, at this time, there was nothing he could do about it.
I hope he is not wrong about this son. Even if the military power in his hands is gone, at least the military power should not fall into the hands of people with other surnames.
If Nanmen Xu really has this ability... Nanmen Ding sighed, but the Grand Eunuch smiled and said: "After a night of noisy, the general should be tired, so why not go to the dormitory with the old slave to rest first."
Nanmen Ye was also pushed out of the room. Nanmen Ding broke away from the guard on the side and rushed over immediately: "Dad..." Nanmen Ye opened his eyes, but he looked very tired.
The Grand Eunuch held something in his hand, walked over, took Nanmen Ye's hand, and pressed his thumb on the paper.
"You..." Nan Mending was about to get angry. If his father was still as brave as before, how could these bullies get the chance to humiliate him?
But now... is the situation really over for their Nanmen family?
His gaze couldn't help but fall on Nanmen Xu again. He saw Nanmen Xu receiving the letter sent by the Grand Eunuch with both hands, with an excited look on his face: "I will definitely do my best to assist Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
This greedy look was something Nan Mending had never seen on his son's face before.
Nanmen Ding withdrew his gaze. Whether it was gambling or not, it was not his turn to choose now.
I hope that Nanmen Xuzhen has other plans and is not willing to become Emperor Qiwen's pawn...
