Chapter 263 Sin
It snowed all day yesterday and the sun showed its face early this morning.Nangong Xing struggled to get up from the warm bed, her little face was flushed, and she gave Huai Yun an angry glance.

"It's all your fault. I promised to play with Xiaoxu in the morning, but now I'm running out of time!" Seeing him smiling at her, Nangong Xing reached out and pinched his waist.

Ever since, the early morning in Zangfengyuan began with the screams of the hostess.

Nangongxing pushed open the door, and Shiqi was cleaning the snow outside the house. Nangongxing came to her side and poked her head. She was always afraid that Qiqi would become quiet, or stop talking to her.

As a result, the first sentence the two just met made her blush: "Although Shi Qi usually sleeps like a dead person, you should stop screaming so loudly in the future, miss, or I should go talk to the master." Let’s just say, 17 years is not too young, it’s time to get married.”

Nangong Xing immediately covered her red face, Shi Qi covered her mouth and smiled, then her eyes turned red, and she threw herself into her arms sobbing.

Nan Gongxing was dumbfounded by her girl, and knew that Shi Qi had too much grievance in her heart to express.For the Nangong family, what Shiqi did was undoubtedly correct, but for the people of Western Chu, what Shiqi did was incompetent.

She gave up all the people of Xichu and chose to evade her responsibilities as a queen. In the end, Di Yuancang died in battle, and everyone who fought for Xichu also died in battle, which made Shi Qi feel extremely guilty.

Shi Qi hid in Nangong Xing's arms. She couldn't sleep well these days, and she always looked forward to Miss's return. She was used to being Nangong Xing's girl since she was a child, and there were always many things she wanted to say to her.

"My dear seventeen, I don't blame you for these things. What kind of girl is not a queen? Will you really be happy if you do it? Think about Murong Yanzhi, who has been a queen for so many years, and finally left the world of mortals in a miserable state of panic? Besides, if you really become a queen, how do you tell me to face the current result!" Nangong Xing whispered in her ear.

Shi Qi raised her head and saw that Nangong Xing's eyes were also rosy, so she stopped crying.Everyone has their own choices, Shi Qi doesn't have such big ambitions, she just wants to spend her life in peace and stability.

"Where did your brother go?" Nangong Xing coaxed Seventeen, and then asked about Eighth's whereabouts. Since she returned home, everyone has seen her, except Eighth.

"Brother, he built a mausoleum for the dead Xichu people beside Danshui, and he should be back in the next few days." Nan Gongxing was taken aback by Shi Qi's words, and then she nodded silently.

In any case, Xichu was completely destroyed, and those who were willing to be martyrs for Xichu in the end, no matter what the outcome was, they were worthy of Nangong Xing's awe.

"In our Western Chu, funeral is very important. If people die without a tomb, their souls can only wander in this world. So my brother went to build them a tomb so that they can be good people in the next life."

For the seventeen brothers and sisters, their fate with Xichu ended here. Although they were of royal blood, they had never grown up in the royal family, and even Di Yuancang did not force them to shoulder the responsibility of restoring the country.

"In comparison, Song Yangliu and the others are much more stubborn." Nan Gongxing rubbed his brows. Among the remnants of the Three Kingdoms in the Central Plains, Western Chu has been destroyed, and the Northern Wei Dynasty has been dormant for many years, but Chen Anding has never had much ambition. You Donghai State has always been ambitious, trying to stir up chaos in the world and restore the country in one fell swoop.

"Uncle Di said that when you die, you will know that everything is empty. He will not know until he dies that the restoration of the country is just an excuse for him not wanting to face the reality. It is the same for Song Yangliu and the others." Seventeen bit his lip and responded.

Huai Yunqian was also confused by Di Yuancang's words. Di Yuancang and Qin Buhai were indeed the same people. They knew the way of the world, but they knew what to do.

He hasn't eaten and lived at home for a long time, and this time Nangong Xing returns, most likely he won't leave until the beginning of spring.When Shi Qi heard the news, he immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare the young lady's favorite meals and snacks.

Nangong Xing always said that her little head was not smart enough, if she left her, maybe she would be deceived into something, Shi Qi just smirked and didn't defend herself.

"Well, it's so lively!" Nangong Su had just entered the Tibetan Phoenix Courtyard, when he heard chatter and laughter from inside, besides Seventeen, Long Yanqing also came here to chat with Nangong Xing.

Huai Yunqian was dealing with the squeezed court affairs, Huai Qianze had waited for him for a long time, and now that he was returning to Beijing, he rushed over immediately, and the originally clean Tibetan Phoenix Courtyard was bustling for a while.

"Brother, why are you here?" Nangongxing trotted over, pushing the wheelchair for Nangongsu.Nangong Su gave her a blank look, and joked: "Why, I've just been home for a few days, and I hate your brother?"

"No way! Normally you would not want to come to my place, wouldn't you just have people call me to your place?" Nangong Xing pouted, and Nangong Su rubbed his little face when he saw this, before sitting in front of the charcoal fire.

"Brother, how about..." Nangongxing wanted to talk to him about the ownership of Nangong's family after seeing him sitting down.

In the past, the Nangong family had been preparing to hand it over to Nangongsu, and even Nangongxing had no objection. It was not until Nangongsu was seriously injured, coupled with a leg injury, that Nangongxing was allowed to take on the responsibility of the Nangong family.

Although the disability in Nangongsu's leg can't be said to be cured, there is still hope. Nangongxing and Nangongchang have talked about it. Under their care, it must be possible for Nangongsu to stand up completely within three years.

Also because of this situation, Nangong Xing had other ideas.Since the Nangong family agreed at the beginning that Nangong Su would inherit, she also plans to continue to hand over the power to Nangong Su now.

However, before she finished speaking, Nangong Su interrupted him immediately with a wave of his hand: "The tradition of the Nangong family has been passed down for thousands of years. Whoever inherits the star official is the master of the Nangong family. Now that you have taken over from your father After taking the post of star official, the Nangong family naturally has the final say on your part."

"But..." Nangong Xing still wanted to fight for it, but Nangong Su leaned on the wheelchair and said: "There are some things that you are more suitable for than me, and you have done very well in the past two years. I can assist you, but absolutely I will not take up this burden.”

Nan Gongxing was a little angry, and glared at him angrily: "In my opinion, you just feel too tired, so you put all the responsibility on me!"

"Yes, you don't know how happy your life is without carrying this burden!" Nangong Su responded with a smile, Nangong Xing snorted when he saw this, and turned his head arrogantly.

"Okay, I have business to talk about today." After teasing Nangong Xing, the relaxed expression on Nangong Su's face subsided, and Huai Qianze's expression also became serious when he heard this.

Seeing their attitude, the two were stunned. They saw Nangong Su take out a memorial from his bosom, and the two frowned as they looked at the content inside.

"You have been away from the capital for some time. During this time, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang and I have been dealing with military affairs. I didn't expect that all the civil servants gathered together and expressed their complaints." Nangong Su said this. With a mocking look.

They were working hard in the front, but the civil servants were fanning the flames behind, telling them that there was no silver taels in the treasury, or they were restricting them everywhere to prevent them from mobilizing the imperial army.

In the end, if the commander of the forbidden army couldn't stand it anymore and led a forbidden army to lock up these people directly, the situation in the capital would only be more sad than it is now, and even Miyagi would fall.

"It's fine that these people didn't do anything when we fought against Yan Ran. When the situation in the capital becomes clear, they will form cliques everywhere in the palace, insisting that the turmoil in the capital is our responsibility and convicting us."

The more Huai Qianze talked, the more angry he became. He really didn't know how these pedantic officials behaved like human beings. They were nothing but shameless.

Huai Yun glanced at the names in the memorial, and couldn't help frowning: "Most of these people were promoted and used by Chi Baiyuan back then. I thought they would live in peace after Chi Baiyuan died, but I didn't expect them to be able to survive the turmoil in the capital." jump out."

In the past, Huai Yunqian didn't want to be involved too much, so after disposing of Chi Baiyuan, he didn't hold other officials accountable, and let them continue to hold their original posts.

However, he didn't expect that because of his momentary kindness at that time, he almost drove Nangongsu and the others into a desperate situation in the chaos of the capital. Fortunately, the formation laid down by Nangongchang and the imperial army swore allegiance to the death, which prevented the capital from falling completely.

"These people came to make trouble again today. Instead of running to the palace, they ran to our door, and now they are shouting to convict us!" Nangong Su was roasting by the fire, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Conviction?" Huai Yunqian was taken aback when he heard the words, Nangong Su took out another memorial when he saw this, with the signatures of all the officials in the capital, the content was to impeach the members of the Nangong family and Huai Qianze.

Not only Nangongsu and Nangongchang were mentioned in the memorial, but even Nangongxing was mentioned. The conviction of Nangongxing was a crime of disturbing the harem and being unfilial.

"Come on, arrest all these people for me, I want to see who is instigating behind the scenes!" Huai Yunqian tore the memorial into pieces, and the roar could be heard clearly even outside the courtyard.

This time Huai Yunqian was really angry, these people turned black and white so badly, he didn't go to these people to settle accounts, but he didn't expect them to dare to bite back.

Chang Yi was about to lead people to arrest these officials, when he pushed open the mansion gate, he saw all these people kneeling in front of the mansion gate holding coffins.

When the news reached Huai Yunqian's ears, he was furious.

"These people clearly want to die. If you dare to attack them, there will be a coffin next to them, and you can just win a clear name. But if you listen to them, you will seal up Shenyin Palace and Chengwang Palace now. How do you do it?" It's up to you." Nangongsu was grilling over the charcoal fire without even raising his head.

"They are not here for you, but for me. This is not to convict you, but to force me to abdicate!"

Huai Yunqian's eyes were extremely cold, and he immediately went back to the room and wrote an imperial edict.

Today coincides with the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the emperor is about to start a formal war with the civil officials.
