"The second prince and the seventh princess have arrived..."
At this time, a eunuch outside the hall suddenly shouted loudly, and for a moment, everyone in the hall looked over.
Under everyone's gaze, two men and one woman slowly walked in. It was Tang Li, Nangong Hao and Nangong Yuechan.
Seeing Nangong Hao and Nangong Yuechan appear, Concubine Xiao felt as if she was in a dream, with tears of excitement filling her eyes. Initially, she was almost desperate because she knew Concubine Kong Shu had no need to lie. Unexpectedly,
There is still such a miracle happening.
The ministers who were looking towards Concubine Kong were extremely surprised when they saw this scene. They were already in despair and began to have hope again. As long as Nangong Hao could come back, they would still have the determination to continue to help Nangong Hao fight for the throne.
"This is impossible!"
Concubine Kong Shu and Nangong Kang both had expressions of disbelief on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost. Not to mention how dangerous the ruins were, they had arranged for four people in the Thunder Tribulation realm and dozens of late-stage Dragon Pill realms.
The strong men went to intercept and kill them, but they really couldn't figure out why Nangong Hao and Nangong Yuechan could still appear here.
Nangong Jiyong also looked at Nangong Hao and the others in disbelief, and immediately stopped announcing the candidates.
"My son, please see your father. See your mother!"
Nangong Hao and Nangong Yuechan knelt on the ground at the same time and saluted respectfully, while Tang Li only bowed slightly to show respect for Nangong Yuechan's parents.
"How presumptuous! Who are you? You don't even kneel down to worship the King!"
A minister who supported Concubine Kong Shu reacted very quickly. He knew that the people Nangong Yuechan and Nangong Hao brought were not ordinary people, so he immediately used the topic to play.
"If you don't kneel before the king, you are trying to rebel!"
"Come here, pull this kid out quickly and behead him!"
Next, two more ministers stood up. Although Nangong Hao and Nangong Yuechan came back, most of the people in the entire court were on the side of Concubine Kong Shu, so even if they went too far, they would not
What problem.
"I want to see who dares!"
At this time, Nangong Hao stood up from the ground and shouted at the guards who were about to capture Tang Li.
"Second Prince, this person's identity is unknown. He has violated the king's rules by not bowing to the king. As a prince, are you trying to protect him?"
Zuo Zhongcheng said calmly.
"He is not from our Anlan Kingdom. It is not a crime not to pay homage to my father. Isn't it that you, Zuo Zhongcheng, are too lenient?"
Nangong Yuechan said coldly, she knew that Zuo Zhongcheng was Concubine Kong Shu's confidant, so she did not respond politely.
"Forget it, since this little friend is not from my Anlan Kingdom, it doesn't matter if you don't kneel to me."
Nangong Jiyong waved his hand and said, he was also very unhappy in his heart. He was not dead yet. He didn't even say a word, and those people were already roaring below. However, he didn't have much thoughts now.
Never mind such trivial matters.
"Father, how is your body now?"
Nangong Hao felt that Nangong Jiyong looked very bad, so he couldn't help but asked with concern.
Nangong Jiyong waved his hand, sighed, and said: "The prince is interested. I am fine. We were discussing the candidates for the throne just now. Now that you are back, we will continue the discussion."
Nangong Hao looked at everyone, frowned slightly, and said: "My father is not in good health today, so he shouldn't be too tired. If there is anything else, let's talk about it another day."
"I know that Wang Er is concerned about my body, but I know my body best. If I don't confirm this matter today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to be as sober as I am today.
.”
"By the way, I heard that you went to an extremely dangerous ruins during this period. Did you gain anything?"
Nangong Jiyong seemed to ask casually, but in fact he wanted to know the whole process, including how Concubine Kong Shu arranged for people to intercept and kill him, and how he escaped from the interception.
"This exploration of the ruins has indeed yielded a lot." Nangong Hao is a smart man. Since they were intercepted and killed, he has completely understood this matter. At the moment, he looked towards Concubine Kong Shu, with a slight smile on his lips.
Shangyang said, "I have to thank Concubine Kong Shu for this. If Concubine Kong Shu had not told me that there was a treasure in the ruins, Wang Mei and I would not have risked our lives to explore it."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Jiyong's eyes showed a cold look. Sure enough, all this was designed by Kong Shufei. Although Nangong Jiyong also guessed it, now that Nangong Hao came out to testify, he was still extremely disgusted.
Concubine Kong Shu is really too insidious.
Feeling Nangong Jiyong's gaze, Kong Shufei's face also changed slightly. Although most people in the court were now facing him, Nangong Jiyong was the king of a country after all. As long as he was not dead, there would still be many
Great deterrence and influence.
"Haha, I had long heard that Hao'er and Yuechan wanted to contribute more to the country, so I told you the news at the beginning. Now that you have returned home with a full load, it is also a blessing to the king. We, Anlan Kingdom
blessing,"
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are sharp. If you want to choose a suitable heir, my lord, it is cheaper for you to let the ministers vote. Only in this way can you select the best heir."
Concubine Kong Shu was very calm. Although Nangong Hao and Nangong Yuechan had changed the situation, for now, he still had a huge advantage, and voting for the successor seemed more reasonable, and she most wanted to see it.
approach.
"Haha, it's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous."
At this time, Tang Li, who was standing in the middle, suddenly laughed.
"Presumptuous, who are you? You dare to talk nonsense here. Just now, the king did not hold you accountable for the crime of disrespect. Now you dare to go further. Do you really think that I, the king of Anlan Kingdom, can't punish you?"
Zuo Zhongcheng said angrily.
"Zuo Zhongcheng, who do you think you are? My father didn't say anything, so why are you gesticulating and barking?"
Nangong Hao also showed a tougher side at this time and said angrily.
"Father, Tang Li is the savior of Erchen and Brother Wang. When exploring the ruins, he saved the lives of Erchen and Brother Wang many times. If it weren't for him, Brother Wang and I would have died countless times.
Already."
Nangong Yuechan said.
Hearing this, Nangong Jiyong's impression of Tang Li also improved a lot. He immediately asked Tang Li, "I wonder what little friend Tang Li was laughing at just now?"
"I was laughing at Concubine Kong Shu. Who the king chooses to be his successor is your family matter. For the sake of the Anlan Kingdom, other people can put forward some opinions, but if it is decided by voting... wouldn't it be interpreted as who is in the government?
If you win over more people, do you have the right to decide?"
Tang Li said lightly that he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but after all, it also involved some of his interests. For example, if Nangong Kang became the new king, would he still be able to successfully get the piece of gold to fly to the Feiyu Empire?
The elixir? Also, can Nangong Hao return the top-quality spiritual crystals he owed him before?
