Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Lose with the insomniacs in the city

Nangong Jingnv's green fingers pressed Qi Yan's thin lips: "Stop talking, I understand." How could she not know what Qi Yan was thinking?Qi Yan accepted his request and won over the chief examiner of the examination despite the criticism and tremendous pressure from the courtiers. The examination is about to start. If other people find out about Qi Yan's injury, they may use this excuse to propose a change of the chief examiner.

Qi Yan seemed very tired, she twitched the corner of her mouth at Nangong Jingnv and closed her eyes.

Nangong Jing took care of her all night, Qi Yan's forehead temperature was always a little high, she followed Ding You's method to cool down Qi Yan, knowing that Dongfang Lubai had arrived at the morning court, Nangong Jing had to leave.

After Nangong Jingnv left, Qi Yan opened her eyes for a look, then closed her eyes again with a sigh. Her body was not feeling well, and burns were the most tormenting wounds.

An hour later, Ding You came, he changed the medicine for Qi Yan, and the two talked for a while, before leaving, Qi Yan begged Ding You not to reveal the injury on his chest, as for whom to reveal, the two of them were tacit .

Ding You thought for a while and agreed, but he told Qi Yan: The masked man must be more than his eyeliner in the palace. If the other party found out about Qi Yan's injury through other means, there was nothing he could do.

Qi Yan expressed his understanding, but repeatedly asked Ding You to keep his mouth shut.

Nangong Jingnv also issued a gag order to the palace people. Many people in the palace knew that the son-in-law Qi Yan was injured, but they didn't know where the injury was.

The commissioner of the Ministry of Punishment followed the order of "Nangong Rang" to seal off and investigate the fire site. They quickly came to the conclusion: the cause of the flood in the concubine's mansion was caused by multiple fires at the same time, that is to say, it was man-made.

Because Qi Yan gave the exam questions in the mansion, most of the servants were sent to the private house, and only a few remained in the mansion to wait on them. When the fire started, all these dozen people escaped, and Qi Yan couldn't see her at night. Trapped in the mansion, thanks to the protection of his loyal servant Qian Tong, he survived.

After reading the dossier, Nangong Jingnv ordered to arrest all the servants who fled from the master. Some of these people were the real servants of the consort's mansion, and some were Qi Yan's confidantes arranged in the mansion.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment sentenced them to death, but they didn't ask any valid information. Nangong Jingnv thought for a long time, and kicked these people out of the consort's mansion...

It's not that she doesn't want to make decisions for Qi Yan, it's just that it's not suitable at this juncture.She also knew that there must be spies among these people, so she sent everyone away after much deliberation.

In order not to instigate the arsonists to jump over the wall in a hurry, and then do anything to hurt Qi Yan.Let the spies take the words back to appease the mastermind behind it, and then send more people to protect Qi Yan, everything is based on Qi Yan's safety.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, Nangong Jingnv probably knows it well, but it's just those few people whose interests have been touched by Qi Yan, as long as there is a direction, the matter will always come to light.

Unexpectedly, the seizure of the heirloom has evolved to such a fierce point, maybe someone came up with this method after failing to win over Qi Yan...

Thinking of this, Nangong Jingnu's heart is quite heavy. The unreasonable disaster Qi Yan suffered today was all caused by herself, or it can be said... that she suffered it for her.

Since the fire, Weiming Palace has become a forbidden area.

Nangong Jingnv assumed the posture of a "unruly princess", and issued a deadly order not to let anyone in to visit Qi Yan.

Many courtiers with different purposes were blocked outside the palace gate, and all the maidservants who had seen Qi Yan's injury were monitored, not even a fly could fly out of here.

In the past three years, Nangong Jingnv's political literacy has improved rapidly. She understands that if she wants to achieve great things, her backyard must be stable. All the maids and servants in Weiming Palace are carefully screened by Qiu Ju and Chen Chuansi, and they speak very strictly. .

The fire in the son-in-law's mansion created an invisible wave in the court.

The fifth prince and the third prince of the imperial court are suspicious of each other, and they both think that the other party is trying to kill people if they fail to win over.

The people who are far away from the court are a different scene. The affairs of the Tianjia have always been shrouded in mystery in the hearts of the people. They understand: the emperor's family also has the most simple feelings of folk families, and Nangong Jingnv fulfilled her promise, not only sent a new water truck to the people in the first time, but also paid for the water money of the people in the city for ten days The people in the city can use the water in the waterwheel without restriction within ten days, and all expenses will be borne by the Princess Mansion.

The affectionate relationship between the princess and her son-in-law has been widely spread, and Nangong Jingnv has also established a little favor among the people in the capital.

……

After a few more days, Qi Yan's recurrent fever was finally under control. Nangong Jingnv finished changing the medicine for Qi Yan, took the medicine bowl and held it in her hand and blew: "This is the last medicine. If you no longer have fever, you need to change to a new prescription."

Qi Yan supported her body and wanted to sit up. Nangong Jingnv put down the medicine bowl and tacitly put the cushion on Qi Yan's back, and said softly: "Be careful, watch out for the wound."

Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnv, looked at her clear face and black eyes, and sighed: "It's fine to let the servants do these things. Since the minister was injured, His Highness hasn't had a good night's sleep. Go and rest."

Nangong Jingnv curled her lips: "I can still hold on, even if I'm a little tired, it's much better than not seeing your heart hanging."

Qi Yan was in a complicated mood, she pursed her lips and said nothing.Nangong Jingnv brought the spoon to Qi Yan's mouth: "Come, drink the medicine."

Qi Yan: "Thank you, Your Highness."

After quietly drinking the last spoonful, Nangong Jingnv picked up another pickled plum and handed it to Qi Yan's lips: "I asked before, plums and medicinal properties do not conflict."

Qi Yan opened his mouth to swallow the plum, the sweet and sour taste dispelled the bitterness on the tip of his tongue.

Nangong Jingnu silently took out a silk handkerchief and wiped Qi Yan's mouth, her eyes were full of self-blame and distress.

Nangong Jingnv tasted this medicine secretly, and it seems to have added a lot of coptis in it to restrain fire poison. It is the most bitter medicine Nangong Jingnv has ever tasted.

But when he fed the medicine himself, he never once said that the medicine was bitter.Knowing that this person is not afraid of hardship, but also frowning at the smell.

Thinking back: Qi Yan always seems to be like this, enduring what ordinary people can't bear, and never hears his complaints.

The more this happened, the more Nangong Jingnv felt distressed.

Nangong Jingnv pulled out the cushion behind Qi Yan: "Can you lie down for a while?"

Qi Yan: "Did Your Highness visit His Majesty in the past few days?"

Nangong Jingnu replied truthfully: "Of course I have to go every day."

The so-called "visiting" means "going to court", Qi Yan didn't expect the other party to take care of both sides, no wonder he looks so tired.

Qi Yan: "Your Majesty looks haggard, why don't you go back to the palace to rest earlier, I'm already much better."

Nangong Jingnv shook her head, she would have nightmares during her lunch break these days, and she would only feel relieved when she saw that Qi Yan was doing well: "Will you talk to me?"

Qi Yan: "Okay."

Nangong Jingnu: "The Ministry of Punishment said that the Concubine's Mansion was caused by multiple fires at the same time... Do you know it?"

Qi Yan narrowed her eyes and replied in a low voice: "When I first returned to Beijing, apart from Baishi, I have no old friends in court."

Nangong Jingnu: "The situation in the DPRK and China has changed a lot compared to three years ago. The fifth brother and the third brother have been fighting for the position of the chief examiner for more than half a year, and it suddenly fell on your head..."

Qi Yan pursed her lips: "Your Highness...what does this mean?"

Nangong Jingnu sighed softly: "With your intelligence, I don't believe you can't guess at all. Are you afraid to say it? Or don't you want to say it?"

Facing the silent Nangong Jingnv who faced Qi Yan, she stopped asking, and believed that the other party had her own considerations.She held Qi Yan's hand in her palm, and said softly: "Only one of the servants in your mansion was slightly injured and the others escaped. The Ministry of Criminal Interrogation did not come up with any results. I am the master." Slapped them and drove them out of the house."

Qi Yan: "Your Highness is in charge."

Nangong Jingnv rubbed the back of Qi Yan's hand with her fingertips: "Don't worry, I know this matter well. It's just that it's inconvenient to pursue it now. Give me some time, and I will always get it back."

Qi Yan replied calmly: "Yes."

Nangong Jingnv asked: "Not wronged?"

Qi Yan hooked the corner of her mouth: "Your Highness has grown up."

The five light words made Nangong Jingnv fall into silence.That's right, the reason why she chose not to pursue it was because she wanted to protect Qi Yan on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to stabilize the situation and keep Qi Yan's position as the chief examiner. In her opinion, this was a win-win situation.

As for the grievances I suffered... sooner or later I will get it back.

But after hearing Qi Yan's answer, Nangong Jingnv found that she had ignored Qi Yan's feelings...

He was the most direct victim of this matter, but he made a decision without discussing it with him.

Nangong Jingnv moved her mouth, but found that there was a lump in her throat.

Qi Yan grasped Nangong Jingnu back at the right time, her amber eyes were calm and unwavering, and replied: "Your Highness, don't think too much, I also feel that His Highness's decision is very appropriate. Shicai just lamented His Highness's growth... so, my minister Don't worry."

Nangong Jingnv looked into Qi Yan's eyes, and the other party's eyes were clear and open.

Nangong Jingnv's lips moved and she lowered her head: "You know everything, don't you?"

Qi Yan knew that what Nangong Jingnv asked was about her listening to the government behind the curtain, Qi Yan didn't want to play any more riddles at this stage of the plan, and admitted: "Yes."

After a long silence, Nangong Jingnv slowly raised her head: "What do you think will be the end of this palace?"

Empress.

Just these two words are enough to cause chaos in the world.

The succession of new monarchs in all dynasties is often accompanied by cruel blows to compatriots who seized the throne, let alone a princess?

What's more, Nangong Jingnv had never had such thoughts before, Nangong asked her to hold her in that position abruptly, and she walked very uneasy along the way.

Regardless of the dangerous future, even if she really grows into an emperor, it is still unknown whether the woman can successfully ascend the throne.

Nangong Jingnv didn't dare to tell anyone about this matter, even if she leaked the news, it might destroy her forever.

This is her "congenital deficiency" as a princess, and even more the sorrow of a woman.

Qi Yan held Nangong Jingnv's hand tightly: "The minister will always be by His Highness's side."

Nangong Jingnu: "But I don't want to die!"

Qi Yan: "Then don't lose."
