Your Majesty will suffer

It was almost five o'clock, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps from far to near, waking up the people who had not yet experienced a deep sleep.

He ordered him to enter in a hurry, and said: "Someone from the Huai'an Sect Palace has escorted you away!"

Nangong Ji was stunned: Could it be that what happened the night before had something to do with Huai'an? !

It was already bright, and there was no movement inside.Nangong Ji also calmed down and sent Yu Bi away, secretly wanting to sort out the clues first.

The uninvited guests who wanted to break into Youranju the night before, it is said that there were only two people, and their skills were mediocre, they did not seem to come here for assassination!Originally guessed that this might be an ordinary house robbery, but now that Huai'an is involved, it has become an unsolved case!I think if this is really related to Huai'an, it is most likely someone behind the scenes!Just what is the purpose of this move?To alienate?Huaian has always been loyal, how could he be used by traitors for no reason?However, if not, the inside story will become more complicated and confusing. . .

After much deliberation, he decided to follow Yu Bi's remonstrance and immediately go to the palace to meet him, so as to take the first chance, lest others slander the situation and confuse the saints.

When he entered, Yue Ling was at his desk reviewing the memorials.Seeing him, he retreated from the crowd and said: "You already know about this matter?" His voice fell, and he thought it was ridiculous, how could he not know why? !

Nangong Ji nodded, and there seemed to be a thousand emotions in the lightly concentrated brows.After pondering for a while, he said: "Last night, the officials said that they would not doubt me, but they don't know now. Do you want to retract this statement?"

Yue Ling stroked his forehead: "I have confidence in you! However, I dare not trust the people beside you!"

Nangongji's heart felt cold for a moment, and he bent down and bowed down.

Yue Ling was stunned: "I don't want to be suspicious for no reason, but the mastermind is after all a member of your family..."

Nangong Ji raised his eyes and looked at the man squarely: "Zhou Huaian is involved in this matter, I will bear the crime of ignorance! However, I guarantee my life, no matter what the reason is, it must have nothing to do with my Nangong family! From that day on, I vowed to serve only one master and never have any second thoughts!"

Yue Ling sighed softly, and helped him up: "You're always worried that I doubt you, but why don't I... Forget it, the current situation is inherently delicate, but fortunately, what happened last night has not been reported to the outside world, so it's not over yet. It's your fault." After a pause, he continued: "According to Zhou Huaian's confession, this matter was done by him alone, but Zhao Ming believes that there is something hidden in it..."

Hearing that Huai'an had pleaded guilty, Nan Gongji's heart sank, and he asked, "Does he have a purpose for confessing?"

Yue Ling said: "The reason is that you have always treated him poorly, and you want to vent your hatred!"

Nangong Ji closed his eyes and shook his head.

Yue Ling hesitated and said, "You also think there is something else going on in this matter?"

Nangongji secretly sighed: He said he didn't want to be suspicious, but at this moment, every word and every word is testing!Perhaps, as he said, the current situation forces him, if he were to be himself, he might be as hardworking as he is now!That being the case, it's better to put all your eggs in one basket and simply figure things out!Otherwise, I'm afraid that his paranoia will last forever.Sui said: "From this point of view, Zhou Huai'an is determined to die at the moment, so he refuses to confess the truth. Thinking that he has been in our Shu palace for decades, if he still remembers the old kindness, he would not want to hurt me innocently, so he may I don’t know what I want to reveal! If Your Majesty believes me, can I ask him personally?”

Yue Ling pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

In the internal servant's prison room, Zhou Huaian sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, his shirt was stained with blood, it seemed that he had been tortured.Hearing the movement and opening his eyes, seeing that it was the head of the family, he was instantly a different person from the indifferent and fearless state before!Crouching in front of Nangong Ji, he cried, "If I have implicated Mr. Lang, ten thousand deaths will never pay for his crime!"

After all, it was a master-servant match, Nangong Ji couldn't help but feel sour, but thinking about the present, he couldn't help feeling hatred from his heart, and said: "If you still have the slightest thought of me, you can't do it!"

Huaian cried and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Seeing this, Nan Gongji thought that although he had something to hide, he still hadn't forgotten his roots, and said: "Now because of your actions, the imperial court already suspects that my Nangong family is colluding with Qiang Jie and intending to rebel!"

Huai'an was in a hurry, knelt down to Zhaoming's feet, and said: "This matter is indeed done by me alone, and I have nothing to do with my lord's business, and it has nothing to do with the king of Shu!"

Zhaoming said: "Assassination is a serious crime, if you say that you did it alone, who would believe it?"

Huai'an said urgently: "Those two people didn't go away to assassinate, but..." He knew that it would be useless even if he insisted that he was privately assassinating the master, so he fell into a difficult situation for a while.

Seeing that the time is ripe, Nan Gongji said: "If you still remember the old kindness and are willing to make up for it, then tell the truth!"

Huaian closed his eyes as if hesitating.After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Now for the sake of the reputation of King Shu and Lord Lang, I don't care about that much anymore!"

The sun was already sinking, Nan Gongji returned to the mansion, his mind was in a trance.Huai'an's confession was far more bizarre than any of his original conjectures - this disaster was caused by a person who did not exist!

Baohua Pavilion, a place Nangong Ji hadn't set foot in for a long time, even though everything looks the same now, it's a pity that people's hearts have already changed!Or, the human heart is always like this, but he has never realized it.

The girl in the boudoir is concentrating on female sex, or because she has been trapped in the inner room for a long time, her face is lacking in blood.When the gentleman arrives suddenly, the servants are too cramped to greet him outside.But Chaoyun was indifferent, got up and was blessed.Over the past month or so, she has lost a lot of weight, and her figure looks erratic, but this can't arouse the slightest pity from Nan Gongji!Who would have known that under this delicate and delicate body, there is a sea of ​​scheming hidden!

The person beside him coughed lightly, intending to remind him.Nan Gongji waved his hand to dismiss the subordinates, said "Please go ahead", then turned around and walked away.

Zhaoming said: "This is about Mr. Lang's family affairs. The Sa family came here today, just to ask for the truth, so we can return to the palace and reply to the order! Let me say that I am an outsider, and my wife is afraid to avoid speaking out, so I ask Mr. Lang to ask on my behalf, and I will listen carefully .”

Hearing this, Nangongji knew that this was Yue Lingliu's thin face, and he couldn't help feeling a little grateful in his heart.

Chao Yun looked suspicious at the moment.Nangongji didn't want to face her at first, but the favor given by the officials cannot be turned back. Moreover, if this matter is interrogated by outsiders, it would really be disrespectful!Then he pondered for a moment, then cut to the chase and said, "Huai'an has been imprisoned for the assassination plot. According to his confession, you are the mastermind behind the scenes. Is there such a thing?"

Chao Yun was startled, but after a moment he was as calm as before, as if he had foreseen this matter, but he was not in a hurry to argue, and looked out the window in a blink of an eye, slightly lost in thought.

Since the afternoon, the weather has changed, dark clouds overwhelm the sun, and the heat is unbearable. It seems that a storm is coming.

"There is no evidence, yet my lord allows others to smear my innocence?" Her tone was calm, it seemed that she had expected that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Your calculations are indeed meticulous, and you took great pains to deal with this matter with your own body. Unfortunately, this is a failure! The money and objects found on the assassin's body all have the imprint of my Nangong Mansion. Now everyone has stolen money, but Can you still argue? I only need to torture the maids and servants in your room one by one, and I'm sure I can get to the bottom of it!"

Hearing this, Chao Yun's complexion suddenly changed, it seemed unexpected, he twisted the handkerchief in his hand vigorously, bit his lips and remained silent.

Nangong Ji expected that she had already believed it, but she felt particularly disdainful in her heart: false statements and fraudulent confessions!He, Nangong Ji, had to do this too!And the person in front of him is still his married wife!However, considering the overall situation, he can no longer take care of the small details.

Although Lu Chaoyun is fierce and jealous, after all, he has lived in a boudoir for a long time, is ignorant of the world, and has a guilty conscience, so he is easily deceived!In fact, don't say where the money and goods in his house come from and what marks they have, but with Zhou Huai'an's meticulousness, how could he easily let such an obvious handle fall into the hands of others? !

After a while, hearing her sigh heavily, she threw the handkerchief on the ground viciously, and said with a sad smile: "Well, this matter is my fault, how do you want to deal with it? It must have hurt the person you love, so I wish I could take my concubine at this moment." Let's kill him and hurry up?"

Unexpectedly, Nan Gongji's expression was flat: "How do you make Zhou Huaian obey your orders?"

Seemingly ridiculed, yet unwilling, Zhao Yun sneered: "Zhou Huaian is extremely cautious, and it's really not easy to manipulate! Ever since the incident with Tang's lowly maidservant, he has been suspicious of me, but luckily I preempted him, knowing that although there is no one in his family, My next relative, but I still have a younger sister, so I taught my elder brother to accept her into the mansion, thinking that he would use it to threaten her. I don't want Zhou Huaian to look unreasonable, but he treats his younger sister like a treasure. She is really at my mercy! Therefore, I am also a concubine. I am very confused, how did Lang Jun teach him to disregard family affection and turn against him suddenly?"

Nan Gongji looked at the fierce, almost crazy woman in front of him, it was really hard to confuse with the graceful, gentle, well-educated beauty in the Lanju Pavilion back then!After several years of husband and wife, the original love is so deep, it really is gone forever. . .

A major assassination case, but the truth is unexpected: it was started because of the jealousy in the boudoir!Knowing that Mr. Wang bought an outhouse, Chaoyun thought that the golden house was a place for beauty, so jealous, he ordered Huai'an to hire a murderer to kill him!However, the assassin Yu Youran had been spying outside for many days, but he never saw the woman!Until that day, seeing the head of the family coming, he thought that the "concubine" must show up!So he went to assassinate, but he missed and was captured.

What Chaoyun said was not much different from Zhou Huaian's confession.Nangongji turned to Zhaoming: "The cheap nephew has already made a confession, does Wang Abban have anything else to ask?"

Zhaoming shook his head, his originally calm face now seemed to show a bit of sorrow.

Chaoyun has lost his mind, crying and laughing, saying, "But when you see newcomers laughing, how about hearing old ones cry?"

Nangongji hated it so much in his heart that he couldn't understand it, so he left immediately!

Zhaoming went to the door again early the next morning, and had a private conversation with Nangongji behind closed doors.The next day, Zhang ordered him to visit the prison and return to Huai'an.When she came back, she claimed that she knew that her crime was unforgivable, and that all thoughts were lost, but she couldn't let go of her only sister, so she boldly begged Mr. Lang to keep her safe.Considering that he had been loyal to his master for many years, Nangong Ji accepted the matter.

A few days later, Zhou Huaian died suddenly in prison.

After the end of summer, it is slightly chilly at night.

Nan Gongji had a drink alone in the court, but the wine was filled with sorrow, and his emotions were beyond words.

After Xu time, everything in the courtyard was silent, except for the occasional chirping of insects among the flowers and grass, which made it especially deserted.

Ling Qi said softly: "Lang Jun, let's rest earlier."

The slightly intoxicated person didn't reply, he propped his head on one hand, not sure if he was thinking deeply, or just dozed off.

Just as she was about to ask again, she heard the man groaning suddenly: "It may not be that Su'e has no regrets, Yuchan is cold and osmanthus alone!"

It made him startled, and then he seemed to appreciate it very much, and said with a smile: "Did you remember Zhongqiu? But today is only twenty-eight, and there is still time before the fifteenth!"

The man smiled confusedly: "Indeed, I have already forgotten the days!"

Make him droop his eyes for a while to consider, and said quietly: "It's okay for Mr. Lang to forget the days, but there is something, but I can't forget it!"

Nangong Ji's face was slightly condensed, and he said coldly: "What did I forget?"

Make his tone steady: "Mr. Lang understands very well in his heart. Since it is inevitable, why didn't you make a decision earlier?" So far, Mr. Lang...but he hasn't explained anything to his superiors, is it wrong?"

There was a crisp sound, and the sound of cups breaking echoed in the quiet water-like courtyard, and it was heart-palpiating to hear it from a distance!

"You are all forcing me, if you really want me to kill my wife, will you agree?"

Nan Gongji hated what Lu Chaoyun did, but after several years of husband and wife, if she really wanted to punish her severely, he couldn't bear it.It's just that what he said was wrong?The crime of assassination has been involved in many cases. This time, Zhou Huai'an was the only one to pay for the crime, which is already a blessing from God. Even though the emperor is lenient, he never said that he would not pursue it further. Therefore, the Lu family can't let it go lightly!

No matter how embarrassing it is, if you should stop it, you will keep your own troubles!Nangong Ji knew this truth.

At the beginning of August, because the Lu family had no children and was born jealous and aggressive, they were ordered to be abolished and sent to Shuzhong!Afterwards, he was sent to the nunnery for meditation.
