Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Lovesickness with a lingering kiss

After a while, the snow on the capital side can no longer hold. Although it will snow occasionally, it seems to be of no benefit to the spring rain. It melts when it touches the ground and nourishes things.

Nangong Jingnv was looking forward to Qi Yan's return all night long, but the date was more than a day or two later than Nangong Jingnv expected. Nangong Jingnv knew: Qi Yan's physical condition must have delayed her trip back to Beijing.

Finally, one night, Nangong Jingnv received a secret report from the Youzhou Army. Three days later... the carriages and horses escorting the imperial husband were about to arrive in the capital.

Nangong Jingnv was overjoyed and announced at the court meeting the next day that the imperial husband had been found. Just when Nangong Jingnv was about to announce that she would pick up Qi Yan back to the palace in three days, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Shu Zuo Servant standing among the courtiers. According to Lu Boyan, Nangong Jingnv, the grudge between the Lu family and the Lili Department, had known for a long time that she was worried that she would cause trouble for Qi Yan by exposing Qi Yan's whereabouts rashly, so she changed her words: "The emperor will return to Beijing in ten days. I have already dispatched the most elite troops from Youzhou to escort the emperor, but I am still a little worried... Where is the general in front of the palace?"

The former general in front of the palace was Ding Yi, but after that incident happened, Nangong Jingnu found a reason to transfer Ding Yi to another position.The newly appointed Dianqian general can be regarded as Nangong Jingnv's confidant.

The general in front of the hall: "The last general is here!"

Nangong Jingnv: "You personally select a group of capable Imperial Forest Army, and set off today along the official road all the way south, and join the Youzhou Army to welcome the imperial husband back to the palace."

The general in front of the hall: "Follow the order."

Marquis of Bei'an, no... the imperial concubine Qi Yan obviously disappeared by the Luochuan River, why did he appear in the south?Even though many people had doubts, no one would have thought that Her Majesty the Empress would lie in court. After hearing this, Lu Boyan silently lowered his head, and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes...

Sure enough, as Nangong Jingnv expected, Lu Boyan returned to the mansion after he came down to court, and called his confidants to discuss the matter. Most of them were loyal servants of the Lu family, and some of them were left to Lu Boyan by Lu Quan, who were very reliable.

These aides analyzed: Now that the guarding period is over, the empress is in her prime. If the empress returns to the palace, it is very likely that she will give birth to an heir with the empress within a year or two and become the next generation of king.

In the country, the blood of the Dawei royal family will be impure, and in the Yu family, it will be very unfavorable to the development of the Lu family in the next ten or even decades.If the crown prince is instilled with the idea of ​​revenge by the imperial husband, no matter how kind the empress is, once the crown prince ascends the throne, the Lu family will be doomed.

But the problem is that the story of the imperial petition has been spread all over the world, and now the whole country praises the imperial husband Gao Yi, and even thinks that this alien imperial husband is a rare talent bestowed on Dawei by the heavens, as long as he is in Jingwei to avoid trouble , and even true unification is just a matter of time.

Especially the prefectures that have been favored by Qi Yan, including Jinzhou, Huainan, and Gyeonggi... These three places are all populous states. , these three places have outstanding people, and many officials in Chaozhongjing have their ancestral homes from these three places.

With such a solid foundation in the court and among the people, it can be said that once Qi Yan returns to the palace, his status as the emperor's husband will no longer be shaken. This is an invisible and lasting blow to the Lu family.

After the aides finished their analysis, Lu Boyan's expression became very ugly. One of the aides said: "My subordinates suggest that we send dead men to kill the weeds and root them out, so as to avoid future troubles!"

Another staff member retorted: "This subordinate thinks this plan is inappropriate. An adult said just now that His Majesty sent the elite Youzhou Army to look for the emperor's husband, and there are also a large number of Royal Forest Army as support. The dead will not reveal the secret, but with His Majesty's shrewdness, he will soon guess that our people did it. Your Majesty is no longer the former Majesty. Think about her thunderous handling of the five books. , No one in the court dares to underestimate His Majesty, and the disaster will only come sooner!"

Another staff member suggested: "My subordinates think that my lord should take this opportunity to reconcile with the imperial husband. The Lu family is the pillar of the country. Two generations, two lords and one lord have made great contributions to the court. Your lord should adapt to the current situation and make a gesture as soon as possible to turn hostility into jade." After all, Marquis Zhonglie was Princess Zhuohua's son-in-law before his death, and his son is currently being raised under Princess Zhuohua's knee. Speaking of which, the in-law relationship between the Lu family and the royal family has not been severed. The age of Xiao Zhongliehou is similar to that of Princess Yanyang, so why not wait until... When the imperial husband returned to the palace, the lord made an engagement request to seal the marriage between Xiao Zhongliehou and Princess Yanyang. This not only deepened the sisterhood between His Highness Zhuo Hua and His Majesty, but also allowed our Lu family and the imperial husband Qi Yan to reconcile. , At the same time, it can be regarded as worthy of the heroic spirit of Zhongliehou, killing three birds with one stone."

As soon as this plan came out, someone immediately echoed and said: "This subordinate thinks this plan is very good. Although Princess Yanyang is a concubine, it is better that her identity has been recognized by the late emperor. She has received the golden book and jade document since the previous dynasty, and the courtiers I have always been worried that His Majesty has no heirs, and the throne will eventually fall into the hands of Princess Yan Yang. If your lord raises it at this juncture, there will be a lot of responses. Moreover... Your Majesty may not really like Princess Yan Yang. If you marry her early, it will be too late. If you can stabilize the relationship between the Lu family and the imperial court, why not do it?"

Staff: "That's right, the risk of assassinating the emperor's husband is too great. Even if you are sure of success, you shouldn't let the Lu family do it. Please think twice."

……

The empress said that there are still ten days before the imperial husband can return to the capital. Lu Boyan thinks that he still has time to think about it. Since the death of his second brother, his father has already handed over all the resources of the Lu family in the capital to him, the eldest son. , the rise and fall of the Lu family's honor and disgrace are all tied on his shoulders.

Two days later, Lu Boyan was almost scared to death, and even for many days afterwards, thinking about what happened that day, Lu Boyan felt lingering fear and fear...

On that day, Her Majesty the Empress suddenly announced that the imperial husband had arrived in the Gyeonggi area, and she would lead all the officials out of the city for fifty miles to meet her. You must know that just a few days ago, the Empress said that the imperial husband would not be able to return to Beijing until ten days later. Could it be that the schedule was advanced?

Full of suspicion, Lu Boyan followed Luan Jia out of the capital. When the team walked out of the north gate of the capital and headed north, Lu Boyan on horseback broke out in a cold sweat.

This imperial husband is not in the south at all, and what he said in the court hall before was nothing more than Her Majesty's suspicions. Lu Boyan even thought: If he can't hold his breath, he will send assassins... Maybe the ones waiting for them will be His Majesty's subordinates. The sky and the earth net!

Nangong Jingnv didn't know what Lu Boyan was thinking, she urged the carriage to speed up again and again, and soon arrived fifty miles outside the city, waited for almost an hour, and saw a carriage escorted by a hundred Youzhou soldiers appeared in the distance in sight.

Nangong Jingnv ordered someone to use the pedals to get out of the carriage. If there were not so many pairs of eyes watching... Nangong Jingnv would not have cared so much, she would have already rushed to the carriage.

After the empress got out of the car, Qin De led the group of officials to bow down: "Welcome Your Royal Highness to return to Beijing."

A servant had already rode his horse towards the team, and all the Youzhou soldiers dismounted and walked instead. Although it was out of respect for him, Nangong Jingnv was very anxious.

However, it has only been a few months, and Nangong Jingnv's longing for Qi Yan has already been deep in her bones.

Gu Ruolan, who was sitting outside the carriage to breathe, returned to the carriage: "Brother, sister-in-law... His Majesty is here to pick you up."

Qi Yan, who was leaning sleepily on the carriage, opened her eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up, revealing a happy smile. She lifted the brocade quilt covering her body and sat up straight.

Seeing this, Gu Ruolan was also happy for Qi Yan, she only hoped that this time the eldest brother and sister-in-law could see the moonlight and never be separated again.

Moreover, Gu Ruolan also hopes that Nangong Jingnv can bring happiness to Qi Yan, so that her body can gradually improve.

after all……

Gu Ruolan: "Brother, let's hang on for a while, we still have a few more steps to go."

Qi Yan: "After relying on this road, my body has long been exhausted, so it's good to be active."

……

On an April day, the capital of the Wei Kingdom was already very warm, and many people took off their cotton clothes and put on unlined clothes, but Qi Yan was not only wearing cotton clothes, there was even a charcoal stove burning in the carriage.You must wear a fox fur coat when you go in and out, otherwise you will cough for a long time when you see the wind, which is why Gu Ruolan can't stay in the carriage. Normal people will be hot and sweaty after staying in this carriage for a while, but my eldest brother I stayed in it all day, but there was no trace of sweat.

Gu Ruolan knew: This is only a manifestation of patients with deep water syndrome. Water syndrome has a kind of cold poison, which will make people with moderate symptoms very afraid of cold, and their body temperature is slightly lower than ordinary people.

The carriage wobbled and finally arrived, Qi Yan heard the greetings from the officials outside the carriage, and was in a daze for a while...

Although Youzhou Army had already explained the situation to her in general, Qi Yan always felt that she was muddled and forgetful recently.

Qi Yan got out of the carriage, and Gu Ruolan followed closely behind, taking advantage of Qi Yan's time to bow and salute, and put the big mantle on Qi Yan's body.

According to Li, it should be Nangong Jingnv standing where she was, waiting for Qi Yan to kneel and kowtow three times to come to her, but when Nangong Jingnv saw the thin and pale Qi Yan and her bloated outfit, she couldn't bear it anymore.

She didn't care what the officials said about herself, and she didn't care what the courtiers said about her, so she lifted the hem of the palace dress and walked towards Qi Yan with big strides.

Qi Yan: "Your Majesty..."

Nangong Jingnv strode up to Qi Yan, and grabbed Qi Yan's hands. It felt cold to the touch. The sun was shining brightly today, and there was no wind or cloud, but Qi Yan's hands were so cold. Nangong Jingnv felt very distressed. , holding Qi Yan's hands in front of his chest, the love in his beautiful eyes almost overflowed: "Why are your hands so cold?"

Qi Yan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, are you safe?"

Nangong Jingnu also replied softly: "I'm fine, but... I always miss you."

The civil servants and military generals around knelt down on the ground, and Gu Ruolan also knelt behind Qi Yan after putting on Qi Yan's uniform. Apart from the horses, it seemed that there was only Nangong Jingnv and Qi Yan standing hand in hand in this world. , and nothing else.

Nangong Jingnv stared deeply at Qi Yan, afraid of missing any glance, she couldn't bear to blink her eyes, so did Qi Yan, looking back at him with a slight curve on her lips.

Nangong Jingnv took Qi Yan's hand and got on the Emperor Luan's car. The servant flicked his whisk and said loudly: "Get up and go back to the palace."

The team turned around and drove in the direction of the capital. Just as Qi Yan sat down firmly, Nangong Jingnv threw herself into Qi Yan's arms: "I won't let you go from now on."

When Qi Yan thought of her own situation, sweetness and bitterness surged in her heart, she raised her hand to caress her lover's three thousand hairs, and replied softly: "From now on, I won't go anywhere."

Nangong Jingnv rested on Qi Yan's shoulder, smelling the familiar scent, she felt at ease, these days really tortured her crazy, since Qi Yan left, Nangong Jingnv hasn't had a good night's sleep, okay? It's easy to know that she is coming back soon, and she was happy to regain her status as the imperial concubine, but then she received the news of her "defection", and almost lost half of Nangong Jingnv's life, but luckily it was an oolong.Otherwise, Nangong Jingnv really doesn't know how to live the rest of her life. After going through this incident, Nangong Jingnv once again clearly realized how important Qi Yan is to her. Perhaps Qi Yan has long been unknowingly She has become a part of my life, and I can no longer live without her in this life.

Nangong Jingnv's catkin caressed Qi Yan's chest, and finally put it on Qi Yan's shoulder: "Is your body better? Will your chest feel uncomfortable?"

Qi Yan was not surprised, and asked lightly: "Your Majesty knows?"

Nangong Jingnv: "Han Yun wrote me a secret letter, saying that you defected, but Gong Yanghuai sent another letter shortly afterward, telling what happened, and I roughly guessed it...don't worry too much about Bayin. Sad, I have issued a secret decree to Gong Yanghuai, telling him to let Bayin survive. Even for your sake, I will not hurt Bayin."

Qi Yan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Qi Yan didn't answer her physical condition, Nangong Jingnv's heart sank, but she also knew Qi Yan's temper, so she didn't want to ask any more questions.

Nangong Jingnv bit her lip, and looked at Qi Yan anxiously: "Do you know... what was going through my mind after I was surprised to hear that you defected?"

Qi Yan smiled: "Probably...the minister was arrested and punished?"

Nangong Jingnv clenched her embroidered fist and punched Qi Yan's chest continuously: "In the beginning, I resented and hated, I blamed you for making your own decisions, and hated you for abandoning me... But I believe that you will definitely have something to do if you do this." For your own difficulties, I just thought... how can I get you back, gold, silver, jewels, salt, iron and food, or... split the river and rule, as long as I can get you back..."

Nangong Jingnv's voice was very soft, but revealed an indisputable firmness, and even a relentless ruthlessness, which made Qi Yan's heart tremble and her eyes heat up.

Thinking of the time left for him, Qi Yan could only hold Nangong Jingnv tightly in his arms, and used a teasing tone to convey a slightly sad word: "Your Majesty... this is the result of wanting to be a foolish king." Is it?"

Nangong Jingnv gave Qi Yan an angry look, and instead of being annoyed, she joked along with her words: "Beauty harms the country!"

Qi Yan grinned, revealing a row of white teeth: "Food is sex, sex is also."

Nangong Jingnv's slender hands caressed Qi Yan's cold and clean face, one ice and one fire, but it stirred up the affection of farewell.

Qi Yan turned her head and gazed tenderly at Nangong Jingnv, her amber eyes were full of tenderness.

All, needless to say.

Outside the car, civil and military officials marched silently, the emperor drove in his car, sprinkled water on the street, cleared the road with gongs and drums, so solemn and solemn.

In the car, Her Majesty the Empress had already kissed with the imperial husband ecstasy, a deep and lingering kiss, expressing their longing for each other.
