The villain's pet apprentice sister is not to be trifled with
Chapter 216 I am not the one who likes almond cake
The candlelight was reflected in Nangong Zhurong's eyes. Nangong Chiyang was standing hidden in the corner and saw his brother laughing in a very sarcastic manner.
Nangong Chiyang heard it clearly, but he became more confused.
He used to envy his younger brother for not having to go through the hardships and sufferings that he had experienced, and even envied Nangong Zhurong for the love he received from his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress.
Why after listening to his words, I felt that everything was not what he saw.
Looking at the appearance of the emperor's younger brother, his pain is no less than mine.
The commander was puzzled as to why the prince was so agitated. Looking at the wine cup on the table, he thought the prince was drunk and acting crazy.
Until the prince pointed to the dessert on the table and said, "This one is almond cake."
The general then gave a reprimand, "You can't eat almond cake. How could the kitchen make such a mistake? You should be punished!"
Nangong Zhurong smiled bitterly, "Even you know it, but my father and my mother don't know it.
These were the snacks that Concubine Yue made at the flower-viewing party in the palace a few days ago. My father gave a food box to each of the princes, and my mother handed it to me personally.
How dare I dispose of it casually! Of course I have to keep it to savor it carefully."
The general looked gloomy, and for a moment, he didn't know how to comfort the prince.
He had been with the prince for nearly eight years. He remembered that once, the prince accidentally ate a snack made of almond powder and developed red ringworm all over his body. He almost died. He was treated in the prince's mansion for half a month before the symptoms gradually subsided.
The commander remembered that both His Majesty and the Queen came to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Logically speaking, the prince grew up with the queen, so how could she not know his preferences?
But the prince said, “When my mother handed it to me, she told me that I liked it and I should eat more.
General, it’s not me who likes to eat almond cake, it’s my elder brother.
When I was a child, I was bedridden twice because of almond desserts. When they came to see me, they didn’t ask any detailed questions, but just told the people who were taking care of me to be more careful. ”
Originally, Nangong Zhurong was loyal to the emperor and filial to the queen.
The prime minister had always wanted to alienate him from the emperor, but this only made him more determined to stand on the royal side and defend the dignity of the Nangong royal family.
Even if Nangong Chiyang suddenly returned, he was just on guard and watched secretly, without doing anything too drastic.
However, seven days ago, he went to the palace to pay his respects to his father and mother as usual. On his way back, he unexpectedly met Concubine Yue, and then he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was lying on Concubine Yue's couch, both of them were naked.
Concubine Yue was the Prime Minister's person, so he naturally knew that even if Concubine Yue took the initiative to expose their scandal, his reputation would be ruined.
But Concubine Yue did not threaten him to do anything. She used her own body to tell him that his father, whom he had always revered, was using him, and his mother had always treated him as a substitute for her elder brother.
Concubine Yue said that the prime minister could not bear to see the prince's loyalty being trampled upon, so he told him the truth.
The emperor had no intention of letting the crown prince inherit the throne; he just wanted everyone to have a target to attack.
Of course he didn't believe it.
Concubine Ke Yue said that she would prove it to the prince.
Concubine Yue said that she had checked the records of the imperial palace's kitchen and found that the eldest prince liked almond cakes, but the crown prince could not eat them.
She bet that the Emperor and Empress didn't remember the Prince's preferences.
The prince had the upper hand in Concubine Yue's hand, so he would naturally listen to her arrangements and go to the flower-viewing party.
In fact, she won the bet.
Nangong Zhurong said to the Grand Commandant, "My mother mistakenly called me Yang'er five times when I was little.
The eldest prince returned with a girl.
It just so happened that two musicians in my Fengyue Tower were taken away by that girl.
My father thought that I had bribed the girl, so he killed her and her two male favorites.
General, my father... has always been wary of me!
Otherwise, why did he look for the prime minister instead of me when he was looking for immortals and medicine?
He would rather trust an outsider than his biological son like me. So why should I protect him everywhere and let him abdicate smoothly?
I... am the prince!
I am the crown prince, not given the title by him, but earned through my own efforts over the years!"
Nangong Zhurong raised his hand and held up the plate of snacks high, then his hand loosened and the porcelain plate fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, just like his once innocent heart.
The general kowtowed to Nangong Zhurong and said, "I am willing to obey your orders, His Royal Highness."
The prince raised his head and said fiercely, “Pass my words to the Prime Minister. I am willing to cooperate with the Prime Minister.
After five days, I will send one hundred refugees to the Taoist temple in the north of the city and let him deal with them as he pleases."
Nangong Chiyang's pupils moved slightly, and he couldn't describe how he felt.
It turns out that from the beginning to the end, no one has truly obtained happiness and joy, and everyone in the palace is struggling in pain.
Nangong Chiyang returned to Prince Lin's Mansion. In the room, he saw his father lying on the sickbed and talking to Imperial Physician Guo.
He barely hesitated and said to Si Qingyu, "Junior sister, I want to go to the palace to save my father."
Si Qingyu was not as sad as him, "Okay, Senior Brother, you are the eldest disciple of Hua Wuying of Renxin Sect. Let your father see how powerful you are. It's time to show your true skills."
Inside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor was reviewing memorials when blood dripped onto the paper, spreading out across it.
It was black blood. The emperor sighed and felt dizzy. Just as he was about to call for help, he saw Nangong Chiyang standing in front of him.
Si Qingyu did not show up, but watched from the side. After all, her current identity was bought by the prince.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the guard, Nangong Yihui roughly guessed what he had done.
He was very happy to see his son, and although he had no strength left, he still managed a smile.
"Yang'er, you're here!"
Nangong Chiyang didn't say much. He immediately released his spiritual power to check Nangong Yihui's condition. The poison had entered his lungs and he was about to die.
He took out the heavenly-grade elixir made by Bai Wuchang from his storage bag and handed it to Nangong Yihui. He said, "It can detoxify."
Nangong Yihui took the medicine and swallowed it without hesitation.
Nangong Chiyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nangong Yihui's expression relax.
Then, he heard Nangong Yihui say, "Yang'er, do you know that father has been waiting for you?"
Nangong Chiyang sighed, "Maybe there is another way. You don't have to take such a risky move."
The emperor shook his head. "It's fate. I thought..."
He opened his mouth with difficulty, but didn't know how to say it.
Si Qingyu was anxious watching from the side, so he simply spoke out, "Oh, Senior Brother, your father thought you were dead, and he wanted to kill the Prime Minister to avenge you!"
Nangong Yihui was so frightened by Si Qingyu's sudden appearance that he shuddered and slipped off his chair.
