Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

May your heart be like mine

After much deliberation, Nangong Jingnv made a decision.

She first wrote a handbook in the tone of Nangong Rang, and asked Sijiu, the head of internal affairs, to personally send it to the Prince Jianguo. In the handbook, she told about the recent impeachment of Qi Yan by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and wanted to hear Nangongda's opinion on how to deal with it.

In the afternoon, Nangong Jingnv changed into a formal palace attire, and the guard of honor led the way to the mansion outside Nangongda Palace with great fanfare.

Nangongda was still a little puzzled when he heard the news of Zhen Zhen's visit from his subordinates, so he turned to look at the handwriting on the desk, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that the younger sister got some news and asked me to intercede?But... the imperial father's handbook has only arrived two hours ago, so the younger sister's news is too well-informed, right?

Or...does the other party have any news channels that can't even compare with himself, the prince of the country?

With this thought in mind, Nangongda greeted him personally with a cane. Nangong Jingnv dragged her long palace dress and walked lightly in front of Nangongda with lotus steps and slapped a blessing, with a cute smile on her face: "Damn it!" Then come to disturb Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, please don’t get angry with me~?”

Nangongda followed suit with a smile, half turned around with one hand on the crutch, raised the other hand in a "please" gesture: "Little sister is a rare visitor, why do you want to visit brother today?"

Nangong Jingnv pouted her lips, and said coquettishly, "If I miss Fifth Brother, I'll come and see. Why isn't Fifth Brother welcome?"

Nangongda: "Why, go inside quickly." After speaking, he said to the attendants beside him: "Go to the small kitchen and bring some fresh and delicious pastries."

Follower: "Yes."

The two brothers and sisters had their own thoughts, and they entered the main hall talking and laughing. Nangong Da let Nangong Jingnv be the first, and Nangong Jingnv was not polite.

With Nangongda's current status, few people would dare to grab his top spot, but Nangong Jingnv decided to do the opposite. On the one hand, she is a princess who has nothing to do with the throne, so she won't make Nangongda too sensitive On the other hand, if you are too "sensible", it will not be beautiful.

Just act out the same way as before, and it will be convenient for the next thing.

The two siblings chatted for a while, and when the tea came, Nangong Jingnv unceremoniously twisted a piece into her mouth, and praised: "Mmm~ soft and sweet. I didn't expect such a good thing to be hidden in Fifth Brother's house."

Nangongda: "If it tastes good, use more. I'll ask my servant to pack some for you and send it to your house."

Nangong Jingnu: "Young girl, you're welcome!"

Nangongda: "Go down first."

Everyone: "Yes."

After the servants retreated, Nan Gongda took a sip of the teacup, and asked seemingly casually, "Is there anything I can do for Brother Five to help?"

Nangong Jingnv froze, put down the tea in her hand, and sighed: "Yes, there is really one thing that must be done by Fifth Brother."

Nangongda pretended to be confused with his understanding: "Oh? What's the matter that stumps the younger sister?"

Nangong Jingnv hesitated for a moment, and replied: "I heard that my son-in-law made a mistake? Someone in the court filed a complaint?" Nangong Jingnv spoke very straightforwardly, with an appearance of ignorance of political affairs.

However, Nangong Da put on a straight face, and scolded: "Who did you listen to? Little sister, do you know that 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics'?" If it were the past, how could Nangong Da, a concubine prince with a physical defect, dare to teach Nangong Jingnv a lesson? ?It's just that he feels that the position of the crown prince is very secure, and he no longer pays attention to this "little" princess.

Nangong Jingnv also felt a little uncomfortable. If the former fifth elder brother would at least care about it, even if there was nothing she could do, she would help herself think of an idea. What she said now is just changing the subject. make excuses.

Fifth brother has changed, so why not himself?

If it was me in the past, I knew it would be a troublesome matter, and I would probably go directly to the father instead of troublesome others.

Nangong Jingnv showed an uneasy expression, and said in a low voice: "Fifth brother also knows... Sijiu Gonggong has always loved me very much. Father's health has not been good in recent years, and I haven't seen him for many days , just now...um."

Now Nangongda understood, and most of the vigilance in his heart went away.Sijiu has been with the Nangong royal family for more than 40 years, and he cannot be shaken by a prince like him.

Nangongda sighed, but didn't answer.

Nangong Jingnv continued: "Eunuch Sijiu told me that Fifth Brother might... let me ask Fifth Brother to forgive me. Forty-Nine Eunuch is worried that I will lose my son-in-law at a young age."

Nangong Jingnv deliberately said half of what she said, but this half of the sentence exploded in Nangongda's heart.

Who doesn't know that the person in this world who understands his father's thoughts best is this father-in-law?His words are very likely to be the decision of his father, and he may be... what?

Nangongda: "What?"

Nangong Jingnv looked distressed: "Fifth brother, can you help me? I have never asked you for anything since I was a child, and I support you."

Nangongda's throat twitched. The news that Nangong Jingnv inadvertently revealed made him very happy. He also heard that Nangong Jingnv "surrendered". After weighing it, Nangongda agreed.

Qi Yan is indeed a talent, it is not difficult to save his life and activate it in the future, now that Nan Gongwang is dead, no matter how worried that Qi Yan will fall to him, naturally he doesn't have to take Qi Yan's life.

Nangongda: "This matter...it's a big one, and I can't give you any guarantees, I can only promise you a few good words in the brochure, but I'm afraid my brother-in-law's official position will be lost, and it's best not to be brought to justice the result of."

Nangong Jingnu sneered in her heart: It is indeed Qi Yan who took the important position, which delayed Nangong Da'an's appointment of his confidant.

Nangong Jingnu: "It doesn't matter, as long as the son-in-law is safe, what's so good about being an official? Is a son-in-law honorable?"

Nan Gongda smiled and said: "Little sister is right. A son-in-law is a relative of the emperor, and the best official residence is also a minister. Naturally, a son-in-law is better."

Nangong Jingnu: "Fifth Brother agrees?"

Nangongda: "I will try my best, but the result still depends on the emperor's will."

Nangong Jingnv said excitedly: "Eunuch Sijiu said that as long as Fifth Brother is willing to help, there is no need to worry about this matter!"

Nangongda: "Little sister, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Nangong Jingnv waved her hands again and again: "No, no, I still have to tell my son-in-law the good news, so I won't eat the meal, fifth brother will pack me a few boxes of these refreshments, and I will take them back to eat with my son-in-law! "

Nangongda: "Okay."

Nangong Jingnv said joyfully, "Fifth Brother, you don't need to send it off, I'm going back."

Nangongda: "Okay."

After loading the snacks, the carriage drove away. Nangong Jingnv sat alone in the carriage, the joy on her face was gone.

As long as it can make Qi Yan suffer less, she is willing to do anything, let alone just telling a little lie that suits her liking?

Nangongda's reputation in the court was at its peak, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment didn't care at all about the face of her daughter-in-law princess. They wrote letters every day to press her. There must be a lot of "credit" from Nangongda.

Although Nangong Jingnv can completely use her own power to protect her beloved, but as Qi Yan said: learn to use strength to fight.

Nangongda was overjoyed for a while, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he would have jumped up for joy.

He put Nangong Rang's handwriting aside, took a new notebook and started writing.

Three days later, the order to deal with Qi Yan came down.

Fengtian Chengyun emperor issued an imperial edict saying: Qi Yan, the servant of the Ministry of officials, secretly communicated with the generals and mobilized the Youzhou defenders without authorization, and should have been severely punished.But I thought it didn't lead to bad results, and I took the initiative to report it after returning to Beijing, and I was given a lighter sentence.He was removed from all his positions in the court, fined for three years, and banned for one year.

This is it.

But that afternoon, the Holy Majesty seemed to have "changed his mind" and issued another imperial decree to put Qi Yan in the prison of Dali Temple, and the time limit was fixed...

Some courtiers were still muttering that the sentence was too light this time, and before they had time to say it, the second imperial decree blocked their mouths.

The cause of the matter has to be mentioned in the bedroom of Weiming Palace, when the servant who delivered the decree came with the imperial edict, Nangong Jingnu was accompanying Qi Yan in the bedroom.

The two accepted the imperial decree, Nangong Jingnv helped Qi Yan to sit on the bed again, and said with a sigh of relief: "Now you can recover from your illness with peace of mind."

Unexpectedly, Qi Yan frowned, got angry, and asked seriously: "Why didn't Your Highness discuss it with the minister?"

Nangong Jingnv was stunned by the question, and asked with some grievances: "Is this not good? Many ministers have offered to beg for mercy, and I am completely..."

Qi Yan's eyes danced with anger, and he turned his head away from Nangong Jingnv: "Put me in a prison, Dali Temple or the Heavenly Prison are fine."

Nangong Jingnv: "Why...?" This result was obtained through hard work from my political opponents!

Qi Yan: "If Your Highness does not agree, I will go on a hunger strike and water deprivation from now on."

Nangong Jingnv's heart ached, could it be that she couldn't satisfy the other party after being so busy?

The conversation ended with Nangong Jingnv leaving in a huff. Qi Yan sat on the bed and watched Nangong Jingnv's back, eyes full of guilt.

Qi Yan: Your Highness, Your Highness... I am confined in the palace, how can outsiders visit me?

If I still stay by your side, is it past the guard period, we...

In the afternoon, Qiu Ju reported, "The son-in-law locked himself in the room and did not come out. The lunch was useless, and the medicine was not taken."

In desperation, Nangong Jingnv came to coax her in person again. Although Qi Yan let her in, what she responded to her was a cold remark: "Your Highness knows what I want."

Thus, there was a second edict.

The officials of Dali Temple came to Weiming Palace with chains and shackles. Nangong Jingnv watched Qi Yan drink the medicine and remained silent.

Qi Yan stood up, shook her sleeves, and stretched out her hand in front of the two officials.

The two officials looked at each other in dismay: "Master Consort, this... these troubles are just a show, you don't have to."

Her Highness Zhen Zhen sat in the back with an unkind expression, even if they had a hundred guts, they would not dare to torture Qi Yan.
