Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

lost in growth

Half a day had passed since the Imperial Forest Army came to report the letter. Nangong Jingnv was sitting behind the desk, holding the memorial in her hand for quite a while, and did not put it down without seeing the annotations.There are many memorials piled up in front of her, which are divided into four categories according to work, household, official, and army.

Although Nangong Jingnv's people are sitting here, their hearts have already flown out of the palace.

This was the first time she knew that Qi Yan was in danger and chose to stand by and watch, her heart was far less calm than it appeared on the surface.

After a while, Nangong Jingnv sighed and murmured: "Sure enough, I have to put him by my side to be at ease..."

She secretly made up her mind: After passing the palace examination, she must take Qi Yan back to Weiming Palace, and stay by her side from now on.

Nangong Jingnv closed the memorial in her hand: "Qiu Ju!"

Qiu Ju: "See Your Highness the Second Highness."

Nangong Jingnv raised her eyebrows, is it the second sister?

Nangong Shunv: "Is Jingnv in there?"

Qiu Ju: "Yes, but our Highness has ordered that we do not see any guests for a while, and allow our servants to go in and report."

Nangong Shunv: "Tell Jingnv that I will wait for her in the side hall, and please come quickly if there is something urgent."

Qiu Ju: "Yes."

After Nangong Shunv left, Qiu Ju stuck to the door and called out. Nangong Jingnv pulled the yellow silk to cover the book case: "I heard it, so I'll come."

After leaving the study, Nangong Jingnv said to Qiu Ju, "You stay here and no one is allowed to enter."

Qiu Ju: "Yes."

Nangong Jingnv came to the side hall alone, and saw the second sister who was always calm in the hall, and joked: "What's wrong with the second sister today?"

Hearing the sound, Nangong Shunv stopped in her tracks, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. On the way here, she couldn't make up her mind whether she should tell Nangong Jingnv about her relationship with Xiaodie.

Nangong Jingnu: "Second Sister, please sit down."

Nangong Shunv came to Nangong Jingnv, stared at Nangong Jingnv's eyes for a long time, folded her hands by her side and bowed her knees to perform a Wanfu salute.This surprised Nangong Jingnv, she hurriedly held Nangong Shunv's arm: "Second Sister, what are you doing?"

Nangong Shunv said seriously: "Jingnv, you and my sister have been together for so many years, what did Second Sister ask you for?"

Nangong Jingnu: "Second sister, you can just say what happened, why do you and my sister do this?"

Nangong Shunv looked at Nangong Jingnv for a moment, her heart sank, she mustered up her courage and said, "I have committed myself to a woman..."

……

After that, Nangong Shunv told Nangong Jingnv about her past with Xiaodie. This was originally the deepest secret in her heart, but the situation forced Nangong Shunv to do so.

Xiaodie committed a capital crime, and her identity is sensitive, so why should she persuade Nangong Jingnv to help her?If you don't break through this layer, Xiaodie will be in danger.

Nangong Shunv: "No matter what you think, I really love her. I don't care about her insanity, nor her past, nor her status as a woman with me. It's a pity that I didn't know that I would be with her Reunion, otherwise, even if you risk your life, you won't give yourself to the second son of the Lu family and wronged her for nothing."

Nangong Shunv's tone was calm, but she revealed an indescribable firmness, and her eyes were even more gentle than ever before.

Nangong Jingnv was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she looked at her second sister in a daze: she never expected that the two would get together in the second year after Qi Yan left Beijing.

Is the decision I made in a fit of anger back then right or wrong?If Qi Yan knew about this matter, what should he do?Although the person in the private house has never been named, but in the end...

Also, what should my second sister do?

Women and women?Both of them are married women, if someone else finds out...

Nangong Jingnv: "Did Qi Yan know about this?" Nangong Jingnv thought that her second sister came over in such a panic because Qi Yan knew about it and wanted to punish Xiaodie.After all, it's a matter of face. Although Qi Yan is gentle, he is also a proud person.

When the words came to her lips, Nangong Shunv hesitated.For some unknown reason, he chose to take it: "I don't know if my brother-in-law knows about this."

Nangong Jingnu was confused: "Then what does Second Sister want me to protect her?"

Nangong Shunv: "Xiaodie committed a serious crime of offending the royal family and injured sixth brother's shoulder with a stone."

Nangong Jingnu: "Ah?!"

Nangong Shunv: "Don't you know? The sixth brother led people to forcibly search Qi Yuanjun's private house. The sixth brother was aggressive, and Qi Yuanjun had no choice but to retreat, so he fought back angrily. Xiaodie also threw stones at him to protect him. Brother Six."

Nangong Jingnu: "What?!"

Nangong Shunv told Nangong Jingnv about Qi Yan's injury again, and finally added: "I'm going to visit Xiaodie today, I don't want to be bumped into by Qi Yuanjun."

Nangong Jingnv pressed the table with one hand, sat down slowly, and the expression on her face gradually restrained, and after sitting down, she pursed her lips and began to think.

Although this series of changes were subtle, they were still captured by Shunv Nangong. She sighed sincerely: "Little sister has grown up...

Nangong Jingnu: "How is Yuan Jun's injury?"

Nangong Shunu: "The injuries seem to be concentrated on the face. When I saw him, his face was already bruised and swollen. I deduce that the injury should not be serious."

Nangong Jingnu let out an "um" and fell silent again.

After a while, Nangong Jingnv got up and took out a token from her bosom and handed it to Nangong Shunv: "Please trouble my second sister to come to my house for a while. With this token, four hundred soldiers will be dispatched to guard Yuanjun's house." Private house, no one is allowed to enter without the presence of my palace, and the doctor in the mansion is also brought along, Mr. Yuan is injured and should not move, so I can only trouble the second sister."

Nangong Shunv: "I'll go right away."

Nangong Jingnv pressed Nangong Shunv's arm, and said slowly: "When the second sister arrives, gather all the servants in the mansion who witnessed what happened to question and give a testimony."

Nangong Shunv frowned slightly: "Little sister, is this going to sue?" She disagreed, if this matter got to the emperor, Qi Yan would be safe, and Xiaodie would be in danger.

Nangong Jingnu shook her head: "Father is not in good health, I don't want to alarm him. But we must also beware of Sixth Brother's hand. Although he is going to other people's houses to cause trouble and commit crimes, be prepared in advance to be prepared."

Nangong Shunv: "That's right, what about you? Why don't you go and see him?"

Nangong Jingnu: "I'm going to visit the concubine Liang. No matter what, the sixth brother is also the elder brother of our sisters, and he is an unreasonable master. We have no advantage against him."

After the division of labor between the two sisters was completed, Nangong Shunv hurried out of Weiming Palace with a token.After walking a certain distance, she felt that something was wrong.

It is true that Nangong Jingnv actively dealt with the aftermath, thought of all the possibilities, and fought for the greatest initiative for Qi Yan and Xiaodie.

But...she just ignored the most important point: Qi Yan's feelings.

If this happened to me and Xiaodie, I would definitely appear by Xiaodie's side as soon as possible to appease the other party's emotions before doing the next thing.

Nangong Shunv wanted to go back and remind her, but she was worried that she would not be able to keep Xiaodie due to time constraints, so she had to leave like this.

Maybe men are not as sensitive as women?Nangong Shunv comforted herself like this.

Nangong Jingnv also wants to see Qi Yan, Nangong Lie is a master who has no depth of attack, hearing her second sister's description her heart is twisted together.

But there are some things that I have to arrange Nangong Lie first, I am no longer the little girl who knows nothing about the world, this time it is her turn to support Qi Yan.

After thinking this through, Nangong Jingnv's mood settled down a little, and she passed on the sedan chair and went straight to the palace of Concubine Liang.

Concubine Liang has kept a low profile these years, and after Nangong Rang fell ill, she lived in seclusion.She knew that her son was not destined for the throne, and as a mother, she could win a little peace for her son by expressing her position in advance.

The palace maid came to report: "Qi Madam, His Highness Zhen Zhen has come down. He is waiting in the side hall."

Concubine Liang was a little surprised, she hadn't seen Nangong Jingnv for a long time: "Please come in."

Palace maid: "Yes."

Concubine Liang: "No, I'd better go there. I'm tired after sitting for half a day. Let's move around."

Palace maid: "Yes."

……

Nangong Jingnu put down the teacup and bowed politely: "I have seen the good concubine."

Concubine Liang stepped forward to welcome her. Nangong Jingnv, as the only daughter-in-law, did not need to salute her concubine who was born in a concubine's room. Concubine Ma held Nangong Jingnv's arm: "Princess, you don't need to be too polite. Why do you have time to come here?" She smiled and looked at Nangong Jingnv, the milk doll had grown up, and she was also old.

Nangong Jingnv smiled slightly: "There are some things I want to say to my empress."

Concubine Liang understood, and ordered: "My palace has some personal words with the princess, and no one will be left to serve you."

A group of servants and servants withdrew and walked to the palace door.

Concubine Liang: "Sit down."

Nangong Jingnu: "Thank you, Madam."

Concubine Liang: "It's been a few years since I haven't seen the princess come out in a decent and dignified way. The empress can feel at ease if she knows."

Nangong Jingnu: "How is Concubine Liang doing recently?"

Concubine Liang: "It's still the same. Last year, a Buddhist hall was built in the palace, and a Jade Buddha was invited to chant scriptures and burn incense day and night, and the days have passed like this. How is the princess? How is the private son-in-law treating you?"

Nangong Jingnv was a little moved, how many people in this court would care about the well-being of others?Not to mention this kind of inquiry that only happens between mother and daughter.

Nangong Jingnv sighed lightly: "He treated me very well, but his personality is a little dull and he doesn't know how to adapt. Actually, I came to find my empress today, and I have something to ask you."

Concubine Liang smiled indifferently, and replied: "Let's talk, it must be within the scope of my ability."

Nangong Jingnu: "Actually, it's about my son-in-law... I just heard the news, so I went to my empress for help. Today, for some reason, Sixth Brother took someone to Qi Yan's private house outside the palace. I moved my hand."

Concubine Liang's expression changed: "This evil! Did he break someone?!"

Nangong Jingnu: "It's not serious, but the wounds are all on the face, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see anyone for a long time."

Concubine Liang pressed Nangong Jingnv's hand, and said apologetically: "I will order someone to pass that unsatisfactory thing into the palace in a short while, and give me a good reprimand. Princess, don't get angry."
