Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Huaibi can't be blamed

Nangong Jingnv came out from Nangong Rang, boarded the sedan chair and went straight to Weiming Palace.

Since Qi Yan fell ill, Nangong Jingnv moved Qi Yan's bedroom to a side hall next to the main hall, so that she can take care of and visit her conveniently.

Palace maid: "See Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnu: "Is the son-in-law inside?"

Maid: "It's inside."

Nangong Jingnu: "You go, no one is left here to serve you."

Palace maid: "Yes."

Nangong Jingnv walked in, and the bedroom was very quiet.It was only then that she remembered that Qi Yan had just come out of the examination institute, she must have been exhausted, then she slowed down and walked around the screen soundlessly, Qi Yan was already asleep.

Nangong Jingnv moved the round stool and sat by the bed, looking at the people on the bed.

Qi Yan slept deeply, with a faint blue color in his eyes, and he seemed to have lost weight again after not seeing him for half a month.

Nangong Jingnv frowned slightly, thinking about what other good things in the inner court can nourish Qi Yan...

At this moment, Qi Yan showed a completely different feeling from usual, his eyes were covered, his facial features revealed a touch of toughness, which slightly conflicted with his usual polite appearance...

Nangong Rang's instructions suddenly flashed in her mind, Nangong Jingnv's heart skipped a beat, her fair cheeks were slightly pink.

"National..."

Speaking of which, they have been married for seven years, and they have been going round and round until today, but they have not been able to reach the last step.

At first I was self-willed, but this person accommodated in every possible way...

I remember that one day Qi Yan pressed her on the bed and slapped herself. After that, the relationship between the two of them became cold for a while, and then they reconciled as before and even became intimate a few times.

Just when Nangong Jingnv was ready to hand herself over to the other party, Qi Yan was sent out.When he came back, he secretly brought a woman with him, and even had a child with her, so he wanted to keep her even if he was dismissed from office and grounded.

For a while, Nangong Jingnv even thought about reconciling and leaving, but in the end she couldn't really make up her mind.

The sleeping person in front of him is special to Nangong Jingnv, so even if he made a mistake, Nangong Jingnv still does not let go of it.She was afraid of letting go of Qi Yan... She would never find another him in her life.

Just like what Nangong Shunv said: A person's life is too long.

After reading a lot of books, Nangong Jingnv's mind has also broadened. Although she can't let go of her self-esteem and heartache, she also understands the truth: "People are not sages and sages can do nothing wrong".

That day when the rainstorm fell suddenly, Qi Yan chased her out, ran back holding her hand, and the way she hugged herself and cried at night melted the ice in Nangong Jingnu's heart.

Qi Yan never went back to the private house again, and gave Nangong Jingnv a reason to give her another chance.Coupled with the fire in the son-in-law's mansion, Nangong Jingnv would be terrified when she thinks about it now. After going through this time...she has experienced first-hand what it means to have good fortune and misfortune. personal.

Nangong Jingnv pulled the quilt for Qi Yan, raised her hand to brush away the broken hair on Qi Yan's forehead, sat quietly by the bed and accompanied Qi Yan for half an hour before getting up and leaving.

After leaving the dormitory, Nangong Jingnv said to Chen Chuansi who was guarding the door: "Go to Ganquan Palace and report to the emperor, Qi Yan just came out of the examination institute and is extremely exhausted, so it is not appropriate to see him... In a few days, the palace will go with him Greet your father."

Chen Chuansi: "Yes."

Nangong Jingnu: "By the way, what happened to the thing I asked you to check last time?"

Chen Chuansi leaned forward, lowered his voice and replied: "There is a clue."

A gleam flashed in Nangong Jingnu's eyes: "Oh? When you get back, come to the study to find Bengong."

Chen Chuansi: "Yes."

……

A secluded and quiet place in the capital city.

A high wall of blue bricks and white tiles encloses the large courtyard. A pair of stone lions as tall as a man are placed at the door, and four strong servants stand on both sides, with machetes on their waists and whistle sticks.There are also two teams of servants patrolling around the wall in opposite directions. The same strong men are holding whistle sticks and their eyes are full of vigilance.

There are no merchants or homes around this courtyard, and it is considered a marvel in the capital, where every inch of land is expensive.

The plaque of the house is even more eclectic, a dark unknown wooden board, with the word "Yaju" written on it, and the owner's surname is not indicated.

Suddenly, the servant at the door held down the handle of the knife with one hand, and the patrolling servant also quickly moved towards the door.

A carriage drove over from a distance, and before the carriage came to a complete stop, four servants rushed up, one of them held the bridle, the other pulled the driver down, and the remaining two stood beside the carriage, one on the left and one on the right.

The servant: "Who?"

The person in the carriage cleared his throat, opened a corner of the curtain and handed out a scarlet greeting card.

The servant's expression eased, and he took the greeting card: "Please wait a moment, the villain will go ask the Patriarch for instructions."

……

After a while, the servant came back.As soon as he waved his hand, his own servant led the carriage towards the back door. After entering the back door, the person inside opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Gong Yanghuai was wearing a plain long gown, and the servant bowed his hands to him: "I'm offended, my master invites the second master to come to the study for a gathering."

Gongyanghuai: "I'm tired."

He didn't need the servant to lead the way, he walked straight towards the study, he seemed to be very familiar with this house.

The outside of the house was heavily guarded, but inside the house, there were hardly any servants and maids. Gong Yanghuai's expression changed several times with the movement of his footsteps, from laughing to dignified at the beginning, and calm again when he came to the door of the study.

He stopped, straightened his clothes and knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in."

Gong Yanghuai pushed the door open and entered. The Fifth Prince Nangong Daduan sat behind the desk with a piece of paper spread on it, and a pitch-black cane was stuck beside the chair.

Gong Yanghuai lifted his robe and knelt in front of the writing table: "My minister, Gong Yanghuai, please refer to the Fifth Highness."

Nangongda let out a "hmm", and took a while to look away from the paper, and said coldly, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Gongyang Huai broke out in cold sweat immediately, he naturally knew what Nangongda was referring to, because Qi Yan suddenly suggested that the chief examiner should have two red circles, which disrupted Nangongda's layout, and many pre-determined candidates did not go up... …

Nangongda: "Huh?"

Gong Yanghuai knocked his head on the ground: "His Royal Highness..."

Afterwards, Gong Yanghuai recounted what happened in the examination hall verbatim, looked up at Nan Gongda's face, and continued: "This move...although it disrupted His Highness's layout, but the Third Prince's The loss must not be small, Lu Boyan almost quarreled with Qi Yan."

Nangongda sneered: "So, I have to thank him, too?"

Gongyanghuai didn't dare to answer, Nangong finally spoke after a while and asked, "How about the things I told you to do last time?"

Gong Yanghuai: "Returning to Your Highness, there was a sudden fire in the son-in-law's mansion a while ago, and Lord Qi Yuan moved into the Weiming Palace. The minister sent a few invitations, and I heard that he was seriously ill. His Highness Zhenzhen ordered the Weiming Palace to be sealed off. People are not allowed to visit... Lu Boyan has been on the sidelines during the exam, and I haven't had a chance to mention it yet."

Nan Gongda: "I heard that you have a very close personal relationship with Qi Yan, in your opinion, is this possible?"

Gong Yanghuai replied cautiously: "I am not sure. Qi Yuanjun's family members have all suffered from the epidemic. Now that he is alone, His Royal Highness Zhen Zhen has a noble status and many things do not need him to handle. Coupled with his indifferent temperament, he will be successful." likely to be very low."

Nangongda: "Then it won't work?"

Gong Yanghuai: "I am willing to try my best."

Nangongda: "Do your best? Who do you think he is? My younger sister has been mysterious these past few years. If Qi Yan refuses to surrender, it may be exposed. Wouldn't it be very passive for my father to know about it? Although his old man is sick now, what he hates the most is forming a party for personal gain."

Gong Yanghuai: "Your Highness means...?"

Nangongda: "Get up first and take a look at this."

Gong Yanghuai: "Yes."

He came to Nangongda's side. On the desk was a copy of the National Examination Ranking List and a vermilion memorial.

Nangongda handed the memorial to Gong Yanghuai: "This is Cui Yushi's memorial to impeach Qi Yan, but this alone is not enough. I want you to join Cui Yushi in the impeachment test tomorrow to examine Qi Yan!"

Gongyang Huai was terrified, his hand holding the memorial was shaking.

Cui Yushi is a well-known iron-mouthed and hard-headed man in the Wei Kingdom. He is young and has a clean sleeve and a lot of knowledge. He impeached the Taiwei Lu Quan by himself ten years ago. It took Wei a lot of money to put this matter to rest. Although this old man's official status is not high, no one dares to offend him.

In the memorial, he generously reprimanded Qi Yan for using the convenience of the chief examiner to support Jinzhou students.Using power for personal gain to secretly form a party and disappoint the holy family.

Nan Gongda: "In this exam, students from Jinzhou occupy a seat in the first class, and Jinzhou students on the red list account for one-third. I also heard that Qi Yan made a rebellious exam question. Is there such a thing?"

Gong Yanghuai knelt down with a "plop": "His Royal Highness, although Lord Qi Yuan may not surrender, but with his temperament, he would never join the camp of the third prince. If not, Lu Boyan would not target him everywhere. Moreover, the minister has a personality Guaranteed that Mr. Qi Yuan will never use power for personal gain, although the exam questions are a bit out of line, but..."

Nangongda glanced at Gong Yanghuai: "At this stage in the seizure of the heir, there is no room for loss. Don't worry... Qi Yan still has a status as a royal relative. Even if you impeach him together, at most he will be dismissed from office, and he will not want to His fate. I also appreciate Qi Yan's talent very much, and it won't be too late to use him after I become a great treasure, but now... it's better to let this variable stay in the inner court."

Gongyang Huai didn't believe Nangongda's words, he could only understand it after being in contact with him: Nangongda was not as gentle and humble as he appeared on the surface, because of his innate flaws, he was more sensitive than ordinary people, with a delicate mind and a more ruthless heart.

But...it's too late to regret it now.

As soon as this impeachment memorial comes up, with Cui Yushi leading the charge, someone will definitely jump out and make trouble, and there is a high possibility that something big will happen to Qi Yan's exam question!

Gong Yanghuai took a deep breath, and begged, "Can Your Highness accept your minister for another three days?"

Nangongda: "Oh?"

Gong Yanghuai: "I am willing to try my best so that Lord Qi Yuan can express his position as soon as possible."
