Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Weighing Repeated Empress Road

Nangong Jingnu finally made up her mind: "Get up, and follow me out of the palace."

Ding You: "Yes."

Nangong Jingnv boarded the sedan chair with the support of Qiu Ju, Ding You carried the medicine box on her back, and Qiu Ju followed to the palace gate.

The bearer's footsteps were fast and steady, and he could hardly feel the bumps when sitting on the sedan chair, but Nangong Jingnv's heart was not calm.

A voice told her decisively and resolutely: I must return to Qi Yan's side.

Another hesitant and hesitant voice flashed out from time to time and whispered admonishment: I should visit Xiaojiu.Old eight old nine young, with the current physical condition of the father, the mother of the two princes should understand that her own prince is not destined for the throne. Can't get support.

Everyone in the world knows that icing on the cake is easy and hard to give. Xiaojiu's mother and concubine Zhang Zhaoyi is not favored, and she is the lowest among all concubines who gave birth to princes.

Right now the third brother is not in the capital, the fifth brother is inconvenient and entangled in government affairs, not to mention Nan Gonglie, the seventh brother is withdrawn, and the eighth brother is not a child, so he can't help much if he goes there.

As Zhang Zhaoyi, there is no way to seek to see her father who is recovering from illness. This is a good opportunity given to me by God!

The care and empathy received in adversity are the most touching.

Qiu Ju: "Your Highness, the palace gate has arrived, please change to a carriage."

Nangong Jingnv came back to her senses, unexpectedly she arrived at the gate of the palace so quickly.

She got out of the sedan chair, stepped up the second step with Qiu Ju's support, and stopped.

Qiu Ju: "Your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv stepped back, and the carriage was right in front of her eyes.She let out a sigh, turned around and boarded the sedan chair again.

Nangong Jingnu: "Give Imperial Doctor Ding a ride in the carriage, and send him to the private residence of the son-in-law in the south of the city. I'm going to see the Ninth Prince."

Ding You: "Yes."

Nangong Jingnv: "Show the Pixiang Palace."

Qiu Ju: "Let's drive!"

Ding You held up his arms and bowed to see them off. The sedan chair of Nangong Jingnv moved towards the inner court along the straight palace road.

Qiu Ju couldn't help but glanced back, seeing that the carriage hadn't left, she said, "Your Highness...won't you go back to the son-in-law?" In Qiu Ju's view, there is no need to rush to visit His Highness Ninth Prince, after all, the imperial doctor has already gone , and Nangong Jingnv is a married princess, even if she doesn't visit Zhang Zhaoyi, she can't say anything.On the contrary, the son-in-law needed His Highness's company more, she couldn't figure out why she had to turn back after reaching the palace gate...

Nangong Jingnv said indifferently: "Since I know, I should go and visit." After speaking, she leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and meditated.

Seeing this, Qiu Ju knew that she could no longer persuade her, and silently followed beside the sedan chair.

Nangong Jingnv felt an unprecedented exhaustion and helplessness surrounding herself. She also knew that Qiu Ju was right, but who could understand her own pain and helplessness?

If the Empress's path is unsuccessful, she will be benevolent, either ascend to the sky or be lost forever.

If he loses, the entire princess mansion will be uprooted. Since ancient times, there have never been so-called family affection and exceptions in the matter of seizing the heir.She is just a princess, and the new emperor can let herself go even more generously, and Qi Yan will not escape death that day.

Nangong Jingnv had anticipated the risks and difficulties she would face on this road thousands of times, but at this moment... she still couldn't remain indifferent.

Qi Yan once told her when she was confused: Then don't lose.

So this time, will Qi Yan understand herself?

The heights are overwhelmingly cold, and I have already experienced it before I have reached the highest point.

Nangong Jingnv forced herself not to think about it anymore, she was tired.

……

According to the laws and regulations of the Wei Kingdom, concubines who are not concubines can only live in the side hall. Nangong Rang took the throne from the sensual Emperor Shang, and has always established an image of diligence and thrift. Therefore, although there are few concubines in the harem, they did not promote seal up.

Zhang Zhaoyi, the biological mother of the nine princes, and Sun Zhaorong, the biological mother of the second princess Nangong Shunv, both lived in Concubine Li's Fragrance Hall, separated into two side halls.

When Nangong Jingnv arrived, Zhang Zhaoyi was wiping tears at the first place on the left side of the hall. Sun Zhaorong sat on the seat below her and comforted her softly. In addition to the main concubine Li of the Pixiang Palace, the two main seats in the hall were the concubine Ma. also came.

This surprised Nangong Jingnv a little. In her memory, Concubine Li and Concubine Liang did not have a close relationship, and Concubine Liang lived in a secluded life, didn't she?

The four women in the hall stood up to greet each other, even the owner of the Pixiang Palace, Concubine Li, could not be exempted, this is the honor of Nangong Jingnv as a first-born princess.Since the Yuan Dynasty died of illness, there has been no successor in the harem. To put it bluntly, all the women present here are concubines.

This is also the reason why Nangong Rang resisted all opinions for so many years and refused to stand up again.

"Jingnu has seen two empresses, Zhaoyi and Zhaorong."

Zhang Zhaoyi wiped away tears, choked up and said, "Is Your Highness Zhen Zhen here to see Si'er?"

Nangong Jingnv walked over and took Zhang Zhaoyi's hand: "I heard that my ninth brother fell ill suddenly last night, let's take a look. What did the imperial doctor say?"

Zhang Zhaoyi wept uncontrollably, Sun Zhaorong helped her to sit down.

Nangong Jingnv came to sit in the first seat on the right. Concubine Liang and Concubine Li looked at each other. Concubine Li said, "Last night, the Ninth Prince suddenly vomited and vomited. In the past, the three imperial doctors had been guarding inside for a whole night. Medicines were given, and acupuncture was given, but the child just didn't wake up."

Nangong Jingnv immediately felt that the Ninth Prince's illness was a bit strange, she pursed her lips, and asked in deliberation, "Did I spoil something?"

Zhang Zhaoyi choked with sobs and replied: "I and the emperor's three meals a day are the same, if we really eat something bad, we should fall ill together."

Nangong Jingnv sat for a while, and got up before lunch to say goodbye.

Concubine Li asked to stay: "Since Your Highness is here, why don't you stay and have lunch before leaving."

Nangong Jingnv glanced at Concubine Liang: "Thank you for your kindness, but our son-in-law is also sick, and we invited Imperial Doctor Ding into the mansion this morning, so he should wake up by now, I want to go back to accompany him. "

Concubine Li covered her lips and smiled: "The princess consort and husband and wife are affectionate, so I won't force you to stay. Bai Lu, prepare a small gift for Her Highness Zhen Zhen, it can be regarded as a little love from my palace for the consort."

Nangong Jingnu: "Thank you, Ma'am."

Concubine Liang's face changed slightly, and she also said: "When the son-in-law's body recovers, I will host a banquet for you again."

Nangong Jingnv smiled and nodded, before she left, she finally said: "I think there must be everything in Concubine Li's palace, but in case the ninth brother needs some unorthodox medicinal materials, Zhaoyi can send someone to the princess mansion at any time. I hope Empress Li will not be offended and Zhaoyi will not refuse to use it, this is my sympathy for Ninth Brother."

Zhang Zhaoyi naturally agreed hastily, with gratitude in his eyes.

Concubine Li smiled and said that Nangong Jingnv was suspicious, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: Although Nangong Jingnv said this very modestly, she used "partial" medicinal materials to save her face as a princess in the palace, but Nangong Jingnv can lightly Saying such a sentence proves that people have enough confidence.If it weren't for the treasury containing the world's natural treasures, how dare you say that you can use them at will?

From sour to sour, even though her eyes were burning hot, Li Fei could only smile brightly.

Nangong Jingnv stepped out of the side hall, and the smile on her face disappeared. She quickened her pace and boarded the sedan chair, returning home like an arrow.

……

Qian Yuan: "See Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnu: "Is Mr. Yuan awake?"

Qian Yuan: "Return to Your Highness, the master is already awake. Mr. Liu came to visit an hour ago."

Nangong Jingnu's face turned cold all of a sudden: An hour ago?I can't bear to disturb Qi Yan's rest, how dare this Liu Yu'an? !

Qi Yan leaned on the bed, sizing up Liu Yu'an unobtrusively.The other party came uninvited, and stayed in his bedroom for so long against common sense, and he didn't know what he was planning.

Nangong Jingnv's figure came in, Qi Yan sat up slightly, but did not miss Liu Yu'an's excited expression.

A trace of astonishment flashed across her heart, Qi Yan squinted her eyes, and Hu Po's eyes were a little dark.

Nangong Jingnv entered the door, Liu Yu'an got up and saluted: "See Your Highness Zhenzhen."

Nangong Jingnv didn't look sideways, walked past Liu Yu'an, walked to the bedside and sat beside Qi Yan naturally, looked at Qi Yan's injured face, and felt relieved when she saw that the swelling had subsided a lot.

Nangong Jingnv said softly: "How do you feel today? I should have come back earlier, but suddenly I heard that my ninth brother was ill, so I went to see him."

The ice in Qi Yan's eyes instantly melted into water, and she said softly, "I feel much better, how is Your Highness the Ninth Prince?"

Nangong Jingnu: "The imperial doctor is still treating her."

Qi Yan glanced at Liu Yu'an: "Your Highness, this is Liu Yu'an, a student from Suzhou, and His Highness mentioned it before."

Liu Yu'an raised his arms again and bowed: "See Your Highness Zhen Zhen."

Although Qi Yan was still smiling gently, there was a hint of sullenness in her heart. Although there was nothing wrong with the honorific title, Qi Yan was a little annoyed that the other party called "Zhen Zhen" twice.

Only then did Nangong Jingnv sit upright, and said calmly: "I heard from my son-in-law that Mr. Liu has obtained the status of Juren?"

Liu Yu'an: "Yes, there are 68 candidates in the exam."

Nangong Jingnu: "That's right, young and promising. According to the law, it is not allowed to kneel down and worship officials below the third rank. Although the rank of the princess is recorded in the inner court, but this palace has tens of thousands of households, it is equivalent to the rank of the prince. Mr. Liu Why do you just bow your hands?"

Even Qi Yan, who is good at disguising, couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. Nangong Jingnv has never been the one who pushes others with her status. Qi Yan can somewhat touch the other party's mind, and her heart is benefited, and her smile is naturally revealed.

Qi Yan: "Your Highness..."

Nangong Jingnv thought that Qi Yan was going to intercede for Liu Yu'an, so she was unmoved, but the next second she felt that the other party quietly took her hand and squeezed it.

Nangong Jingnv was a little ashamed, but her heart brightened.

Nangong Jingnu: "Since Mr. Liu is the guest of the consort of the palace, this kneeling ceremony can be avoided. You go down first."
