Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Qi Yan frowned: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Nangong laughed more and more wantonly, wrapping his arms around Qi Yan's neck.

The two were about the same size, Nangong Lie leaned forward with the strength of the wine, at the very moment Qi Yan turned his head, Nangong Lie's lips stuck to Qi Yan's face.

Qi Yan suppressed the disgust in his heart, and said coldly: "Your Highness, please let go."

Nangong Shunv stood there dumbfounded, Nangong Jingnv took the opportunity to break free, dragged her long dress skirt to Nangong Lie and kicked him in the crook of his leg.

Nangong Lie frowned in pain, Qi Yan forcefully separated the opponent's arms and took a few steps back.

Nangong Jingnv's pretty face turned pale with anger, she pointed at Nangong Lie and shouted sharply: "Nangong Lie! Do you know how to write the word "honesty and shame"? The royal family has lost all face!"

Nangong Lie licked his lips, his eyes full of enjoyment.

Turning her head to look at Nangong Jingnu, she sneered and said, "I thought it was someone who was so rude, but it turned out to be my younger sister. That's not surprising."

"You!" Nangong Jing trembled femininely, and slapped Nangong Lie with her hands.

"Jing Nu!" Nangong Shu Nu exclaimed.

However, Nangong Lie, who couldn't even stand still, actually grabbed Nangong Jingnu's wrist firmly, and the latter let out a painful exclamation, clenching his teeth and staring at Nangong Lie angrily.

Qi Yan rushed forward, grabbed Nangong Lie's wrist, and said coldly: "Your Highness, please let go."

Nangong Shunv and the fifth prince Nangongda also stepped forward and persuaded each other: "Lao Six, don't let go!"

"Brother Sixth Emperor, please let go."

The other princes also expressed their support and ordered Nangong Lie to let go.

Nangong Lie squinted his drunken eyes and looked around for a week, with a strange smile on his face: "Heh, are you all blind? Didn't you see who made the first move?" As he spoke, he secretly added strength to his hands, and Nangong Jingnu endured the pain. He couldn't help but let out another cry of pain, and kicked Nangong Lie again.

Nangong Lie laughed loudly: "Have you seen it? This is our arrogant and domineering sister!"

Qi Yan's eyes darkened, and he pressed Nangong Lie's hand holding Nangong Jingnv, pressed on an acupuncture point in the tiger's mouth, and forcibly opened Nangong Lie's thumb.

Nangong Jingnv felt the force on her wrist loosen and broke free.Clutching his wrist, he glared at Nangong Lie angrily.

The masked man has excellent medical skills, Qi Yan is proficient in the acupuncture points of the human body even though he has only learned a little superficially, he exerted a dark force on a certain acupuncture point of Nangong Lie, which made the opponent's whole forearm numb.

Nangong Shunv held Nangong Jingnv's arm distressedly: "Show me!"

Nangong Lie clutched his drooping arms with a gloomy expression.

Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Nangong Lie suddenly kicked Qi Yan!

This foot kicked heavily on the lower abdomen, and Qi Yan took a few steps back to barely stabilize her figure.

"Qi Yan!"

"Sixth!"

Nangong Jingnv supported Qi Yan, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The second prince and the third prince saw that things were getting serious, one on the left and the other on the right held Nangong Lie, and shouted sharply: "Sixth son, don't lose your sense of proportion."

"Father is coming soon, how is it proper for you to look like this?"

Sweat dripped from Qi Yan's forehead, she covered her belly with one hand and shook her head, staring at Nangong Jingnv with eyes full of guilt, she asked in a trembling voice, "Is Your Highness alright?"

Nangong Jingnu had a sore nose and her eyes were red: "Don't be afraid, I will never let this matter go."

Nangong Lie shouted: "Qi Yan, right? I remember it."

Nangong Jingnv was about to speak out, but she saw Qi Yan looking at her with pleading eyes, and she stopped.

Qi Yan stood up straight, and bowed to Nangong Lie: "This kick, I paid it back for His Highness Zhen Zhen. Although Qi Yan is a soft-spoken person, if His Highness Sixth Highness hurts Jing Nu again, I will risk my life to report to His Majesty."

Qi Yan's voice was not loud but her words were firm, Hu Po's eyes burst out with a breathtaking vigor, her thin body was straight, and she looked at Nangong Lie without fear.

At this moment, it was not the cowardly Qi Yan who was standing beside Nangong Jingnu, but the son of the grassland tiger, Qiyan Agula.

Nangong Lie forgot to struggle, and stared blankly at those amber eyes.

Nangong Wang and Nangong Wei took the opportunity to pull people away. Just now Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnu's frown because of the pain, and she gritted her teeth stubbornly and refused to admit defeat, the anger in her heart spread silently.

For a moment, she forgot that everyone in this hall was the enemy of the prairie, so she couldn't help but make a move.

Qi Yan sighed, walked around in front of Nangong Jingnv, and blocked everyone's eyes with her back.

Nangong Shunv came over: "Jingnv..."

Qi Yan's eyes only fell on Nangong Jingnv: "Can I ask Second Sister to move?"

"Okay...the royal father is coming soon, brother-in-law please persuade Jing daughter well."

Nangong Shunv left, Qi Yan took Nangong Jingnv's hand: "Rong Chen, come and see?"

Before Nangong Jingnv could answer, Qi Yan lifted Nangong Jingnv's sleeve: there was a blurred red handprint on her wrist.

Qi Yan pulled back the wide sleeves in silence, but did not let go of Nangong Jingnv's hand.

Nangong Jingnv showed rare quietness and meekness, she sniffed and said softly, "Are you okay?"

Qi Yan coaxed softly: "I have rough skin and thick flesh, so it's fine."

"Don't worry, I will seek justice for you."

"Your Highness."

"Ok?"

"This matter..."

Nangong Jingnv snapped back and said, "You are not allowed to intercede!"

Qi Yan slowly let go of Nangong Jingnu's hand: "His Royal Highness, just listen to what I have to say. Besides, we can discuss it after returning to Weiyang Palace, okay?"

Nangong Jingnv hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Remember, Your Highness, this matter must never be mentioned to His Majesty."

"This palace knows."

Nangong Wei and Nangong Wang sent the sixth prince out of the hall, and told the servants to send Nangong Lie back to the mansion.Sijiu saw that the time had come, so he walked to the inner hall.

Everyone in the hall returned to their respective positions, as if nothing had happened.

"His Majesty is here!"

Nangong Rang's honor guards first filed out from the inner hall and stood on both sides of the royal road.Nangong Rang walked out in the grand Kowloon court dress accompanied by Sijiu.

All the people in the hall knelt on the ground and shouted: "See Father."

Nan Gongrang stepped up to the high position, sat on the dragon chair and raised his hand: "Free from courtesy."

"Thank you, Father."

Nangong Rang took a glance and asked, "Where is the sixth child?"

Qi Yan heard the clue, Nangong asked a total of nine sons and three daughters, four of them did not come.

In addition to the eldest prince Nangong Ping, there is also Princess Qionghua Nangong Sunu, and the seventh prince Nangongli.

Why did Nangong Rang only ask Nangong Lie?

The second prince, Nangong Wei, replied: "Report to my father, the sixth brother has been here. Because of a sudden discomfort, the minister and the third brother sent the sixth brother out of the hall, and ordered someone to send him back to the mansion. When the sixth brother left, the son-in-law On behalf of the father, 'wait for his pain to ease, and then come to ask the father for sin'."

Nangong Rang snorted coldly: "That's all."

"I...following the will of God, I have been on the throne for more than ten years in response to the needs of the people, and I dare not slack off for a day in my efforts to govern. You are of the blood of the royal family, and you should emulate your father: practice thrift and abide by your duties."

"Yes, my son obeys the teachings of the emperor."

"Now the world is at peace and the world is at peace. Several years of recuperation have finally wiped away the poverty and weakness of the previous dynasty. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the treasury is in surplus, there are good generals outside and good ministers inside. I... have passed the year of destiny, The body is not as good as before, and if you are lucky enough to exchange for the people's prosperity, you will die without regret."

Nangong Wei took the lead and knelt down on the ground: "My son begged my father to take care of the dragon's body."

Nangong Rang let out a long sigh, and said leisurely: "Although the tortoise lives long, the snake rides the fog and turns into ashes. Even though I am the emperor, I will not live forever. You are in my blood, and you must bear in mind what I taught you today. .To strengthen the country, it must be done as it is.”

"My son, obey the teachings!"

"I have decided to go to Yongzhou to worship the ancestors in Qingming, Wei'er."

The second prince Nangong Wei came out and knelt down in the middle of the main hall: "My son is here."

"You stay in Beijing to supervise the country for me, and all the other princes and princesses will accompany you."

Nangong Wei was overjoyed, and bowed three times: "My son obeys the order, and I will fulfill my duty and live up to my father's high expectations."

In the past dynasties, only the crown prince has the right to supervise the country. This decree is of great significance to Nan Gongwei.

Nangong Zhen, the second prince's first-in-law compatriot, also showed joy, while the expression of the fifth prince Nangongda was still indifferent, without any fluctuations.

The third prince, Nangong Wang, bowed his head and remained silent.

"Let's go, follow me to worship the late emperor."

"Yes."

The first emperor refers to Emperor Shang of the previous dynasty, because Nangong Rang did not "usurp the throne and seek rebellion". Every New Year's Eve, he would visit the Taimiao of the previous dynasty. Even his own ancestral tomb was not called the imperial mausoleum, and was still buried in the old site of Yongzhou.

Several servants worked together to push the door of the palace open, and Sijiu came to the imperial steps first and sang loudly: "Let's drive to the Taimiao."

Outside the Ganquan Palace, the Taipu Temple, which is in charge of the royal guard of honor, and the Taipu Temple, which is in charge of patrolling the palace, are already on standby. Everyone boarded the sedan chair and headed towards the Taimiao.

Zongzheng Temple Minister Gongyang Zhongtong and other officials were waiting at the gate of the Taimiao, and the three sacrifices and related ritual vessels were all ready.

Nan Gongrang personally lit the high incense and inserted it into the cauldron, and took the sacrificial oration from Gong Yangzhong.

Everyone knelt down, and Nan Gongrang stood alone in front of the Ancestral Temple, preaching eloquent sacrificial orations.

Qi Yan couldn't help sneering: A rebel who usurped the throne and ruined the 400-year-old state of the previous dynasty, standing in front of the imperial temple in imperial clothes and announcing the achievements of the previous year, remembering the previous dynasty?

If the ancestors of the previous dynasty really had spirits in the sky, Nangong Rang would have been struck to death by lightning long ago.

Nan Gongrang can be said to be outstanding in deducing the hypocrite to this extent.

It was past noon after the sacrifice, and everyone had been frozen in the ice and snow for two hours.Nangong waved his big sleeves, ordering everyone to go back to the palace to take a bath and change clothes, and prepare for the evening palace banquet.

Nangong Jingnv and Qi Yan came to the sedan chair, Qiu Ju immediately tied her cloak, and Chuntao handed the long-warmed stove to Nangong Jingnv's hand.

Nangong Jingnv stroked the embroidered gold pattern on the cover of the hand stove with her fingers, and glanced at Chuntao: "Where's the son-in-law?"

Chuntao hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, forgive me, it's because of my negligence..."

"Not yet?"

Qi Yan persuaded: "The wind is blowing, please get on the sedan chair first, Your Highness is not cold."

Nangong Jingnv gave Qi Yan her hand stove, tightened her cloak and boarded the sedan chair.
