Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sinking boat

Hearing this, Nangong Jingnv's eyes lit up, as if she saw a certain possibility.But then it quickly dimmed, and said in a low voice: "But since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a female emperor. Now the fifth brother and the third brother have assembled a group of forces in the court, and although I am sitting behind the scenes, there is not a single soldier ..."

Qi Yan smiled weakly, and comforted him: "Whoever says there is no, this minister is His Highness' most solid force in the court."

Nangong Jingnv twitched the corners of her mouth, Qi Yan's consolation didn't seem to have any effect.

The latter continued: "I think Your Highness doesn't need to think too much. After all, there are some things that His Highness cannot decide, such as the matter of the Empress... This is something His Majesty should worry about. Since he put His Highness behind the scenes When the time is ripe, there must be a way to overcome all opinions and help His Highness to that position. What His Highness should do now is to seize the opportunity and fulfill the requirements of being a king as soon as possible. Your Highness does not need to worry too much about the affairs of the court. When the candidates of the scientific examination enter the court, everything will be different."

Nangong Jingnv felt better now, these things have been pressed in her heart for too long, it feels good to have someone come out to share them.

Seeing that Qi Yan's mental state is still good, she continued to ask: "There is one thing that has puzzled me for a long time, and I want to hear your opinion."

Qi Yan: "Your Highness, please speak."

Nangong Jingnu: "Remove the eldest prince, the second brother and the fourth brother have five brothers in this palace, why did the emperor choose me?"

Qi Yan has thought about this question a long time ago, but she is not Nangong Rang after all, so she can only express her understanding cautiously: "I dare to infer that your Majesty's decision can be considered from three aspects. The only direct descendant of the royal family, if His Highness is a man, he must be the best candidate for the crown prince. Second, among the remaining five princes, the eighth and the ninth are too young to see their success. The remaining princes..." said Here Qi Yan stopped, not knowing whether to continue talking.

From an emotional point of view, Qi Yan didn't want Nangong Jingnv to become an empress, because the emperor who wanted to overthrow the court of the Wei Kingdom must be eliminated...

But from a rational point of view, it is more beneficial for Nangong Jingnv to participate in the revenge of Qi Yan. There is no change of the throne without bloodshed, especially when a woman is the emperor.

At that time, I can take revenge in the name of clearing the way for Nangong Jingnv.

But right now, there is another fork in the road in front of Qi Yan, should she continue to teach Nangong Jingnv?

To be an empress, one must be better than all the princes, but if Nangong Jingnv really grows up, will she get burned?

Qi Yan was a little hesitant for a while, seeing the other party's silence, Nangong Jingnv asked: "What happened to the other princes?"

Qi Yan didn't have enough time to think carefully, so he had to continue to answer: "The third prince has great ambitions and talents, and is headstrong. The sixth prince is cynical, and has a bad reputation in the court and the people. The fifth prince has congenital defects. His Majesty's temperament is not a last resort. He will not pay attention to him. The third and most important reason: His Majesty's illness came too urgently, and he has not properly arranged everything for His Highness. As the only direct bloodline, His Highness has been favored for many years, but fortunately, the princess Even if you are dissatisfied with your status, the princes will not show it, but if one day His Majesty is gone, can this honor be preserved? Your Highness does not have brothers with the same mother, and the food and fiefdom are much higher than other princes. Wait until The new king ascended the throne and the government is stable, so he will definitely find a name to take back all these things, and it is better to send His Highness to an invincible place than to be reduced to fish and meat in other days."

Nangong Jingnv was heartbroken after hearing this: "But I have not been able to meet Father's request, and I have let him down."

Qi Yan held Nangong Jingnv's catkin in his hand: "As the saying goes, love is deep and responsibility is severe. If His Highness is really mediocre, His Majesty would not make this decision. Although I don't know why Your Highness feels that I am not enough. Good, but I think His Majesty just hopes that His Majesty can do better."

Unraveling the secret of "listening behind the curtain", Nangong Jingnv was able to completely unload her burden.

On this day, the two talked for two hours, and most of the questions that had been lingering in Nangong Jingnv's mind were answered, and she also saw Qi Yan's profound knowledge and foresight again. suddenly see the light.

In the same way, Qi Yan discovered that Nangong Jingnv had improved a lot in the past three years, and what was even more frightening was that she couldn't see where Nangong Jingnv's upper limit was, but Qi Yan herself was already struggling to make further progress in her mind and wrist.

Although Qi Yan can still control the other party at present, but this feeling of uneasiness is getting deeper and deeper.

It's like a person playing with fire, who doesn't know when the fire will catch him...

Because Nangong couldn't speak, it was hard to get some advice from Nangong Jing, so she didn't even know it was dark outside, and Nangong Jing said goodbye belatedly when Qi Yan's eyelids were heavy.

……

The conflagration in the son-in-law's mansion could not be suppressed, and it spread throughout the capital within a few days. Naturally, Nangong Shunv also knew about it.

While she was relieved, she didn't know how to face Xiaodie.

Through this period of getting along, she found that Xiaodie had a deep dependence on Qi Yan, a feeling similar to family affection.

Although unwilling, Nangong Shunu decided to respect Xiaodie after struggling for a while.

After all, Qi Yan is Xiaodie's savior, if one day Qi Yan is willing to let Xiaodie "free life", they will still be a family.

After much deliberation, Nangong Shunv decided to conceal Qi Yan's injury, firstly to avoid Xiaodie's worry, and secondly to avoid unnecessary involvement between the two.

……

Nangong Shunv brought Qi Yuxiao to Qi Yan's bedroom, but was stopped by the guards outside.

Guard: "The villain see His Highness Zhuo Hua, His Highness Yan Yang."

Nangong Shunv: "I heard that my brother-in-law is ill, so I specially brought Yuxiao to visit."

The guard still had his arms crossed: "Your Highness, forgive me, Your Highness Zhen Zhen has ordered no one to visit the son-in-law."

Nangong Shunv frowned slightly: "What? My brother-in-law is seriously injured?"

Guard: "The villain doesn't know, please don't embarrass the villain, His Highness Zhuo Hua, if the two His Highnesses must visit, why not go with His Highness Zhen Zhen."

Qi Yuxiao looked up at Nangong Shunv: "Second Aunt, what's wrong with Daddy?"

Nangong Shunv led Qi Yuxiao aside, and said softly, "Your father is sick, maybe he needs rest, how about we come back in a few days?"

Qi Yuxiao thought for a while: "What's wrong with Dad?"

Nangong Shunv: "It's not a serious illness, it will be fine after a few days of cultivation."

Qi Yuxiao: "Alright then."

……

Qi Yan spent more than three months in bed before fully recovering. It shouldn't have taken so long, but because her wound was soaked in water, her wound became inflamed. Suffering from old diseases.

Qi Yan almost died before being rescued by the masked man. Her heart and lungs were more fragile than ordinary people due to her fever for several days. Unconsciousness.

This frightened Nangong Jingnv, she had to stop in the early morning and stay by Qi Yan's side without taking off her clothes. Fortunately, Ding You got the true biography of the masked man, and even so, he emptied half of the precious medicinal materials in the Princess Mansion to stabilize his condition.

In the 15th year of Jingjia, in March of Yangchun, Qi Yan was finally able to get out of bed and walk.

Next month, Chunwei's examination institute will open, Nangong Jingnv has repeatedly confirmed Qi Yan's physical condition with the imperial doctor, and agreed to Qi Yan's request.

Qi Yan has lost a lot of weight. She used to wear loose clothes. She sent her servants to the Imperial Garden alone. Looking at the spring in front of her eyes, she pressed her fist to her lips and suppressed her cough.

The imperial doctor had been critically ill more than once, and Qi Yan survived by relying on the vitality that was different from ordinary people.

She will not die, there are still too many burdens on her shoulders that cannot be lifted, how can she fall if the court of the Wei Kingdom does not fall?

It's just that after this serious illness, Qi Yan's state of mind has changed, and looking at this spring scene, he has a different mood.

A woman's voice came from behind: "What a coincidence."

Qi Yan turned around and saw the person coming, raised her arms and bowed respectfully: "Chen Qi Yan, see the concubine Yagui."

Ji Ya is different from other empresses in the palace, she has never brought anyone by her side.Jiya came in front of Qi Yan: "I heard that you have been ill for a while, but your health has recovered?"

Qi Yan: "Thank you to your mother's blessings, the minister has recovered."

Hearing this, Ji Ya suddenly laughed out loud: "What does it have to do with me, and what is my blessing?"

Qi Yan also laughed, and put down the arm in front of him: "This is just a humble remark, it will be boring to pursue it."

Ji Ya glanced at it, and said lightly: "Bitter tricks?"

Qi Yan still had a polite smile on his face, and there was no movement in his amber eyes: "I don't understand what your empress means."

Ji Ya suddenly took a step forward, looking straight at Qi Yan: "I hope you can help me with something."

Qi Yan took half a step back, looking at Jiya noncommittally.

For the first time, Jiya, who has always been calm, showed a trace: "What?"

Qi Yan: "I don't think I can help the imperial concubine or empress."

A sternness flashed in Jiya's eyes: "If you don't help me, I'll tell Nangongwang about the person next to you!"

Qi Yan's brows were raised, her mouth was pursed, and a gloomy look flashed in her eyes, but she still said "respectfully": "What does the imperial concubine want me to do?"

Ji Ya's expression relaxed, and she said in a low voice: "I want to go back to the grassland to visit my relatives, and I hope you can persuade the person next to you to make this happen."

Qi Yan thought for a moment, then replied: "I can try it for you, but if you threaten this matter again, what will you say?"

Jiya raised her palm: "I, Nagus Jiya, swear to the gods that I will never cross the river and tear down the bridge."

Qi Yan was silent for a long time, then turned and left.

Not far away, Ganoderma lucidum led Qi Yuxiao into the imperial garden. The little guy was very happy when he saw Qi Yan, and just about to run over, Lingzhi took him away with his mouth covered.

When he came to a place where no one was around, Lingzhi knelt down in front of Qi Yuxiao and pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, forgive me, this servant is in a hurry just now."

Qi Yuxiao was not angry at all, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Ganoderma lucidum opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. According to the law: it is a felony for a foreign official to have a private meeting with a concubine. In the garden, the concubine and the concubine did not bring their own servants. If they rushed over, the princess would be fine, but she It's about to be unlucky.

Ganoderma lucidum: "Slave, I want to go to the bathroom, can your Highness wait?"
