Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

East wind blows fire

Fortunately, although Nangong Wang is somewhat short-witted, he is not yet stupid.

He also knew that the emperor would be escorted by tens of thousands of elite soldiers when he traveled. Once these guards drove to the mountains, the possibility of the dead soldiers being captured alive was extremely high.

He advanced the day of arson by one night, and the east wind blows at Zishi the night before the Ching Ming Festival.

Qi Yan stood in front of the west window of the dormitory wearing a snow-white inner coat and an outer shirt.

Just after a moment of ugly time, a burst of flames rushed straight into the bullfight, dyeing half of the sky red.

Qi Yan couldn't hold back her excitement, she looked at the fiery red sky and laughed.

Nangong old thief, that day when you and Lu Quan forced the former Emperor Shang to set fire to the emperor, did you ever think that the retribution would come so quickly?

How does it feel for a person who believes in the fate of yin and yang to see the retribution of his past evil deeds on his ancestral grave and his only legitimate daughter?

The sentinel on patrol at night saw the soaring flames rushing down into the cloud tower, and his feet were unsteady and rolled down the steps.He fell heavily on the ground but didn't care to check himself, and ran straight to Nangong Rang's bedroom...

"Report!!!"

The Niu Daowei at the door raised the knife and ax in his hand: "Who is it!"

"The villain is a soldier in charge of guarding. If you die, report to His Majesty, and the West Mountain is on fire!"

Niu Daowei glanced to the west, turned around and opened the door of the hall.

Nangong Rang was old and had a very light sleep. He opened his eyes when the soldiers shouted "Report".

The soldier knelt in the center of the front hall: "Patrol soldier Zhang Chuan, I have something important to report to Your Majesty!"

Nangong let out a long sigh, rubbed his temples and sat up: "Go and have a look."

Sijiu who was guarding the door got up from the floor and walked towards the outer hall.

"what's up?"

Zhang Chuan's face turned pale with fright, and he kowtowed again and again: "Xishan is on fire, Xishan is on fire!"

Sijiu was shocked, ran out of the main hall and looked west, then turned around and ran towards the inner hall.

Kneeling in front of the sleeping hall door: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the night watchmen are here to report...the west mountain is on fire."

"what?"

Nangong asked Huo Di to stand up at once, probably after several days of fatigue and not getting enough rest, he felt dizzy and had a splitting headache before falling back on the bed.

"Come on!"

Sijiu got up from the ground, pushed open the palace door and walked in.

The other servants lit the lamps in the sleeping hall, and Sijiu helped Nan Gongrang up: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body."

"Help me out to have a look."

"Yes."

The servant picked up Nangongrang's outer shirt and handed it to Sijiu, and Sijiu followed Nangongrang step by step, and put the clothes on him.

The night patrolling soldiers were still kowtowing in the hall, and kept repeating: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Sijiu shouted: "Hurry up and get out of the way!"

The soldiers rolled aside as if they were being pardoned. Nangong Rang came to the entrance of the hall with strides. When he saw the half of the sky in the direction of the west mountain that was reddened by the fire, his eyes went dark.

"Your Majesty!" Sijiu quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands.

Nangong Rang took a few breaths before recovering, grabbed the door frame and stood up straight, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

He stared blankly at Huohong in the distance, and his memory went back to the same time on September [-]th, the fifth year of Qinghe in the previous dynasty.

He and Lu Quan risked their lives to break into the palace in the middle of the night. They wanted to persuade His Majesty to return to Chao Gang, but he didn't expect Emperor Shang to be so incorrigible that he drew his sword and chopped them down.

Lu Quan drew his sword to block, and the two accidentally knocked over the Wanshou Changming Lantern that contained several catties of lamp oil during the fight.

The lamp oil stained the wide sleeves of Emperor Shang's dragon robe, and with a scream, a fire ignited on Emperor Shang's body.

Emperor Shang's wailing in the main hall was louder than louder, and both he and Lu Quan were terrified. After escaping from the main hall, they simply blocked the door and locked Emperor Shang inside.

Until the screams and curses gradually weakened and stopped.In order to make things more realistic, Lu Quan arrested Concubine Wan Gui, who was once favored for a while...

The lamp oil was poured by Lu Quan, and the fire was lighted by Nangong.

He still remembered Concubine Wan Gui, who was covered in lamp oil, kneeling beside the charred corpse of Emperor Shang, crying pear blossoms with rain: "I beg you two gentlemen, please let me go, my palace was diagnosed by the imperial doctor a few days ago. Already pregnant...

Concubine Wan Gui lay down at the feet of Nangong Rang who was holding her up, and pulled at the hem of his official uniform: "Master Nangong, please leave a trace of Your Majesty's blood. If the prince is a prince, I am willing to write an imperial edict on behalf of the two Qings..."

Lu Quan said viciously: "Second brother, if you don't kill her, you and I will die!"

Afterwards, Nangong Rang and Lu Quan combined together and decided that Nangong Rang, who was born as a civil servant, would ascend the throne as emperor, and Lu Quan would command the soldiers and horses of the world.

The reason why Emperor Shang was willing to ascend the throne 49 days after his death was because Nangong Rang and Lu Quan used this time to find out all the insiders and silence them one by one.

Including all the patrolling soldiers that night, the palace servants of Emperor Shang and Concubine Wan Gui, most of the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, and even the imperial cook who was in charge of the imperial dining room that night...

After that, Nangong Rang used tricks to induce the officials and wrote some words that were beneficial to them.

Lu Quan sent his own soldiers disguised as ordinary people to incite public opinion, including the rebellion of bandits after he ascended the throne, and Nangong asked him to "pacify" him with a sinless order, all of which were controlled by him and Lu Quan.

The only people who knew about this period of history were Nangong Rang and Lu Quan.

Nangong Rang's body shook and his face was pale: "Quickly, order five thousand elite soldiers to put out the fire on the mountain..."

"Here!"

Nangong Jingnv was awakened by a burst of noise, and heard a soldier shouting outside: "It's flooded! Your Majesty has an order, quickly gather to fight the fire!"

Nangong Jingnv jumped up from the bed at once, grabbed her shoes, grabbed the palace clothes and put them on her body, pushed open the palace door and ran out.

Chun Tao and Qiu Ju ran over: "Your Highness!"

"Water? Where is the water?"

"I don't know about this servant, it seems that I heard that it is the west side..."

West?Qi Yan's bedroom is in Xiyuan!

Nangong Jingnv ran out, her petite figure quickly disappeared into the crowd...

Qi Yan can't see at night, she can't even run away!

Don't worry!

Nangong Jingnv ran to Xiyuan in one breath, and sheaved a long sigh of relief seeing that the bedroom was safe and sound, her calf twitched violently due to running, and she almost fell down.

The thin sweat on her body was blown by the cold wind, which made her shiver.

She walked towards Qi Yan's bedroom with staggering steps, and knocked on the door: "Qi Yan? Are you asleep?"

Qi Yan was standing by the window with her clothes on, when she heard Nangong Jingnv's voice, her heart sank. The person he didn't want to face at this moment was her...

"Your Highness?"

"It's Bengong, can I come in?"

"Your Highness, please."

Nangong Jingnv pushed open the hall door and saw Qi Yan standing in front of the west window with clothes on. The window was open.

Chun Tao and Qiu Ju also followed pantingly: "Your Highness, wait for servant girl!"

Seeing that Qi Yan was innocent, Nangong Jingnv settled down, pulled the palace dress hanging on her shoulders and walked over: "What are you doing standing by the window?"

After finishing speaking, he closed the window for Qi Yan, and said angrily: "The cold wind blows when you are weak."

"The minister just heard the shouting outside suddenly, and fumbled to the window, wanting to ask someone to ask about the situation..."

Chun Tao and Qiu Ju walked into the main hall and lit the candles on the table, Qi Yan "recovered" his vision and forced himself to look directly at Nangong Jingnv.

Seeing that her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat and her hair was disheveled, she raised her sleeve to wipe off the sweat from her forehead, and smoothed out the broken hair sticking to her forehead.

"Why is Your Highness here?"

"I heard that there is water in the west, I'm afraid of you..." Nangong Jingnv pursed her lips and did not continue.

Qi Yan stared straight at Nangong Jingnu's black and white eyes, the concern inside was so real.

"Your Highness..." Qi Yan took a step forward and hugged Nangong Jingnv into his arms.

Nangong Jingnv's body froze, and when she heard her breathing out of rhythm, her heart softened and she raised her hand to hug Qi Yan back, patted Qi Yan's back lightly, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, this Gong is not Are you here?"

Chun Tao and Qiu Ju looked at each other, and they both backed out.

Hearing the sound of the palace door closing, Nangong Jingnu blushed a little: "Don't be afraid."

Unexpectedly, not only did Qi Yan not let go, but instead hugged him tighter and tighter.

She clearly understands that she should maintain a normal state at this time, but she really can't face the person whom she designs every step of the way and care about her regardless of her safety.

Before his expression collapsed, Qi Yan took the lead in hugging Nangong Jingnv.

He bent over and buried his face in the hair on Nangong Jingnv's neck.

Prevent the other party from seeing the clues, and also escape the prying eyes of Chun Tao and Qiu Ju.

The tip of Nangong Jingnv's nose touched Qi Yan's shoulder, and there was a faint scent of green grass lingering in her nostrils, she couldn't help laughing secretly: I didn't expect men to have body fragrance...

Qi Yan hugged Nangong Jingnv, and at the same time she was greedy for the comfort and peace of mind brought to her by the other party, but at the same time, a new calculation was born in her heart...

"Your Highness."

"Ok?"

"Can I stay tonight?"

Nangong Jingnv's breathing stagnated, she was nervous and at a loss: "I... can't do it. Tomorrow... in a while, I have to go and see my father."

Qi Yan tightened the arms around Nangong Jingnv's waist, and her exquisite curves were attached to Qi Yan's body.

Yang said: "Come back from the father, can you come to the minister?"

Nangong Jingnvxiu blushed, and asked softly: "Are you afraid of the dark..."

"Ah."

"Then, let me think about it."

Qi Yan let go of her arms, and looked at Nangong Jingnv tenderly: "Your Highness, hurry up, I will wait for you."

"My palace hasn't agreed yet!"

……

Chun Tao and Qiu Ju, who were guarding outside the hall, were relieved when they saw Nangong Jingnv come out.

Tomorrow is a big day to worship the ancestors. If His Majesty finds out that the son-in-law slept with the princess the night before, he will definitely punish them...

"Go back and change clothes, I'm going to see my father."

"Here."

When Nangong Jingnv appeared in the main hall, all members of the royal family had arrived.

Nangong Rang sat on the high seat with a gloomy face, and the hall was full of people kneeling.Qian Niuwei ran in from time to time to report on the situation in Xishan.

"Father."

Seeing his beloved daughter, Nangong Rang's expression relaxed, showing a little old-fashioned: "My son is here? Come to Emperor Father."

"Yes."

Among a group of kneeling people, Nangong Jingnv stood out from the crowd.

She stopped at the foot of the royal steps: "Royal Father."

Nangong Rang beckoned: "Come here."

"Yes." Nangong Jingnv went up the imperial steps, Nangong Rang held her beloved daughter's hand, her eyes were complicated...

Not long after he and Lu Quan finished that matter, Nangong Jingnv was born, but Yuan Empress Ma left him.

Nangong Rang always felt that Ma Shi's death was God's retribution for him. He burned the pregnant Concubine Wan Gui to death with his own hands, and God took away his favorite woman as punishment.

Nangong let out a long sigh, and patted Nangong Jingnv's arm: "My son, go back and rest."

"Father, my son wants to accompany you."

"Listen to my father, you won't be of much help if you stay here. You all go too...Leave me alone for a while."

"……Yes."

After leaving the main hall, the two elder princes, Nangongwang and Nangongzhen, walked towards the sentry tower tacitly, asking about the fire extinguishing situation.

Nangong Jingnv thought for a while, then walked towards Xiyuan.

Chuntao followed Nangong Jingnu step by step: "Your Highness, the bedroom is here!"

"This palace knows."

"Your Highness!"

Qiu Ju helplessly grabbed Chun Tao's sleeve and shook her head.

Chuntao said eagerly: "You don't want to persuade? If His Majesty finds out, he will punish us!"

Qiu Ju said in a low voice: "There are so many people here, do you think your life is too long?"

Chuntao stopped talking, and the three master and servant walked towards Xiyuan.

Walking to a secluded place, Chuntao couldn't help but dodged to Nangong Jingnv and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please stay."

"What are you doing?"

Qiu Ju also knelt in front of Nangong Jingnv: "Your Highness, this servant thinks what Chuntao said is reasonable, so it is not appropriate to go to Xiyuan tonight."

Nangong Jingnu frowned: "I have already agreed to Qi Yan."

Qiu Ju persuaded: "Your Highness, please think twice. Your Majesty has decreed to fast for five days, and tomorrow you will go up the mountain to worship ancestors..."

Chuntao said: "Husbands and wives are not allowed to share the same room during the fasting period, the son-in-law really shouldn't have made this request to His Highness at this time!"

Nangong Jingnv frowned slightly, and shouted softly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Qi Yan is from the common people, how can she know so many palace rules?"

However, Chuntao continued to bite the bullet and continued: "Even among the people, couples are forbidden to have sex during the filial piety period. The son-in-law will not fail to understand this truth."

Qiu Ju cried out worriedly: "Chuntao...!"

……

Qi Yan sat upright on the bed, her star eyes slightly closed, and the fingers of her right hand tapped her knee rhythmically.

Tonight, no matter if Nangong Jingnu comes to her place or not, Chuntao and Qiuju will be alone.

Intellectually, she very much hopes that Nangong Jingnv will come back, if this is the case, neither of them will be able to keep them...

However, another voice in my heart clamored for Nangong Jingnv not to come back.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Qi Yan grabbed the fabric on her knees violently, and then slowly let go.

"Servant Qiuju, has the son-in-law gone to bed?"

"Not yet, forgive Qi Yan for not getting up to greet her, is sister Qiu Ju okay?"

"My son-in-law doesn't need to get up, I'll tell His Royal Highness: Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, please rest well, my son-in-law."

"Understood, please sister Qiu Ju thank His Highness for me."

"The slaves retire."

When the sound of footsteps could not be heard at all, Qi Yan lay back on the bed.

It's okay not to come.

……Very good.

The fire at the ancestral tomb in Xishan burned all night. Yongzhou is located to the south, and the snow on the mountain has long since melted.

Coupled with the successive sunny days, the dead grass and the stagnant water in the broken branches have long since dried up.The dead man secretly lurked in the front hill of the ancestral grave, and raised a handful of burning branches. The flames spread up the hillside by the east wind, and burned into a sea of ​​flames after a while.
