Chapter 52 The Assassination of the Fifth Prince

Nangongxing came to the study in a hurry, and saw Nangongsu's face was extremely ugly, she asked, "Brother, what happened? Is there an order from the palace?"

"No." Nangong Su's voice was very cold, suddenly he seemed to sense his strangeness, adjusted his mood and said: "It should be said that he came down, but he didn't go to the house."

"What do you mean?" Nangong Xing didn't understand these words, and at this moment Sixth came in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the fifth prince's whereabouts are unknown, and the guards and eunuchs are also missing!"

Nan Gongxing said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Isn't Long Youwei the one who has always been in charge of defending? Is there anyone who can fight against Twenty Long Youwei?"

"It doesn't matter whether we can fight or not. If things get serious this time, our Nangong family will bear the brunt!" Nangong Su stood up slowly.

It is no longer necessary to pursue these matters now. No matter who did it, the Nangong family is the one who has the biggest suspicion now. After all, there is still the emperor's will to bestow marriage among them.

"The decree has really been issued?" Nan Gongxing grasped the details, she beat the third prince like this, did the emperor not consider the mood of the third prince and Concubine Xi at all?
Nangong Su glanced at her, and said to her while walking: "The emperor has indeed considered it, so he changed your betrothal from the third prince to the second prince."

"What? Didn't Huai Nian'an get married a long time ago?" Nan Gongxing's face was full of gloom. She remembered that she had received a hydrangea ball when the second prince got married the year before last.

"The concubine of the second prince is Princess Yanran, who was originally married, so he has not been righted. He just waits for another woman from Jingguo's official family to find a reason to abolish that concubine." Nan Gongsu said very straightforwardly. , but Nangong Xing could not listen to it.

"Why? Why do they mean what they say? Don't they consider whether they are kind or not? If the second prince has no plans to marry again, can he still be forced?" Nangong Xing was very dissatisfied with the fact that men regard women as tools and piece.

At the end of the corridor, Nangong Su stopped in his tracks: "I have said many times, don't treat you as everyone. Not every woman is as lucky as you, and most of them cannot decide their own destiny."

Nangong Xingyu was at a loss. Neither Yan Ruoyan nor Qing'er had ever controlled their own destiny. Even if she lost the help of Nangongsu and the others, wouldn't she still be struggling?
She came to the observatory with her head down. Nan Gongchang noticed her expression and did not persuade her: "The incident happened half an hour ago, and the fifth prince's life is fine now."

Nangong Su heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of the prince's death, he still didn't want to break up with the royal family, so he could delay it for a while.

"Father, can you see where the fifth prince is now?" Nangong Su continued to ask, but at this time Nangong Chang did not answer, but looked at Nangong Xing: "Xing'er, come and try."

"Ah, I can't do it!" Nangongxing's first reaction was to refuse, but when she saw Nangongchang staring at her closely, she bravely opened her star eyes, and kept recalling the secret of astrology positioning in her mind.

She had used this method in Dingzhou, but she couldn't last long at that time, and her use of it was immature.

At that time, Cao Yuan and the others' palaces of fate were extremely shining. They were all battle-tested people, and naturally they could calm down and stand still in the face of such a predicament.

However, the fifth prince is different. He is about seven years old this year and has been raised in the deep palace. He cannot compare with Cao Yuan in terms of temperament or flexibility.

Therefore, although his Fate Palace could be found, it was extremely dim, and the casted light beams were also faintly visible, and the specific direction could not be seen at all.

Just as Nangong Xing was about to withdraw his star eyes in dejection, Nan Gongchang suddenly said, "Take the sky as a mirror and the earth as your heart. Forget about your naked eyes, and observe with your heart."

Nangongxing knew that Nangongchang read the last few sentences of astrology positioning, Nangongxing understood the meaning of these few sentences, but he just didn't know how to forget the image in front of him.

"Close your eyes and turn your starry eyes into your heart." Nangong Chang guided her, Nangong Xing slowly closed her eyes, and then felt the darkness in front of her eyes, and she couldn't find the mysterious feeling when she opened her eyes. sense.

Nan Gongchang had expected such a situation a long time ago. Nangong Xing improved too fast and broke into the seventh level before turning [-]. This also brought negative effects to her, that is, she could not open her mind.

Nan Gongchang can be at any time, and he doesn't need to prepare a series of rituals before stargazing like Nangong Xing. This is the benefit of opening his mind.

Generally speaking, as long as you break into the seventh level, you can open your mind through the baptism of star power, but the timing of Nangong Xing breaking into the seventh level is very clever.

She did not reach the seventh level by chance, but took advantage of the opportunity provided by Nan Gongchang, and was lucky to break through the seventh level. This also left a hidden danger, that is, she did not open her mind.

Nangongxing kept looking for that feeling, but she couldn't find it, which made her very frustrated. When she was about to open her eyes, Nangongchang suddenly closed her eyes.

"Star officials never use their eyes to detect the pulse of the stars. Only by feeling their vitality can you open your eyes." Nan Gongchang continued to teach her.

Nangong Xing also knows everything. After Nangongchang reminded her like this, she immediately understood that she was wrong. She used astrology as an auxiliary method from the beginning to the end, but forgot that the most powerful part of astrology lies in astrology. itself.

The changes between the heaven and the earth have echoes in the dark. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and the flow of time are all connected with the stars, and only the star officials can see this connection.

So astrology has never been an auxiliary means, it is the embodiment of all power.Nangong Xing's idea was wrong, so her path is also doomed to be wrong.

Fortunately, she did not continue to go wrong, but was pulled back by Nangongchang in time.Once the idea is clear, everything that follows is a matter of course.

Nangongchang watched Nangongxing's temperament begin to change, and then subconsciously stroked his beard, only to realize that he had just shaved clean not long ago, and sighed helplessly.

Nangongsu looked at this scene like water, and waited until Nangongchang relaxed before asking: "Father, what about the fifth prince now? Do we really have to wait until Xing'er's enlightenment is over?"

"A non-existent assassination, a non-existent decree, why do you want to commit a crime?" Hearing this, Nan Gongsu tightly held his palms, and he finally understood why his father did not move.

This time, in order to frame the Nangong family, he really had good intentions, and he was willing to give up the twenty dragon guards he had worked so hard to cultivate.

"Father, since he is not benevolent first, why should we endure it?" Nangong Su couldn't swallow this breath, he didn't believe that there really was a perfect situation in this world.

Nan Gongchang took a look at him: "You have seen far, but not far enough. You have to take a longer view. The world is a game of chess. One move will move the whole game. We have to be careful in some games."

Nangong Su's face was very unwilling. If it wasn't for the chess game played by Nangong Chang, he would not let them go so easily.

"This game has been played for so many years. Yan Ran, Rong Di, Nanman, and the twenty prefectures in the capital are all involved. Every move involves the whole body, so keep calm." Nan Gongchang taught him.

It's just that he also knows that Nangong Su won't restrain himself like this. He is a free and easy person, and he can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

So not long after he left the observatory, Sixth disappeared in the house.Nan Gongchang looked at Nangong Xing in front of him and let out a long sigh. Sooner or later, Nangong Su's temper would hurt him, he had a hunch.

In the capital, there was no rest on New Year's Eve. Jingzhao Mansion Yin Guo Xu offended Nangong Xing and was dismissed. At this time, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion has no leader, and the Fifth Prince was assassinated.

Originally, he had been serving as a deputy for many years, but he finally waited until Guo Xu was dismissed from office. As a result, the fifth prince was assassinated in his own jurisdiction before the letter of appointment came out.

He was sleeping with his lovely wife in his arms, but now he was pulled up by Long Youwei. This matter not only related to the safety of the fifth prince, but also killed 20 people on the spot.

Zuo An had dark circles under his eyes, and a knife was tied around his neck. Now he didn't need the pressure from above at all, and he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible for his own life.

"Commander, traces of a struggle were found at the scene, and it seemed that there was only one person." A Long Youwei reported the situation to Hong Chang'an.

Hong Chang'an nodded slightly, and was about to ask them to continue their investigation when he saw people from Shenyin's mansion coming, and the leader was naturally Nangongsu.

Hong Chang'an narrowed his eyes slightly. His Majesty had instructed him to shift the responsibility to Duke Shenyin's mansion. Originally, he hadn't figured out what to do. Now that Nangongsu came, he just gave him this opportunity.

"Earlier, you said that there was only one person at the scene? Did you frame me again?" Hong Chang'an yelled at his subordinate, who understood and immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"Useless things, do you really think that the Long Youwei trained by the old man is so vulnerable? It's just a dream to break through the iron wall alone!" Hong Chang'an's face became more and more ugly, and his voice was so loud that everyone could hear it clearly.

Nangong Su didn't even look at him, but stood there looking at the messy footprints on the ground, and beside him stood Twelve with a dull face.

"Your Highness, the murderer is one person..." Twelve glanced at the scene and immediately made a judgment. Before he could finish speaking, Hong Changan took over his words: "Your Highness, how dare you ask the whole family today?" Is anyone out of the house?"

"Do you suspect that my Nangong family did it?" Nangong Su said with a blank expression.

The corners of Hong Chang'an's mouth raised slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "No one in the whole world knows that the Shenyin Mansion is full of high-ranking people. If there is anyone in the world who can break through the iron wall of Longyouwei, I am afraid that only the 28th mansion of the Shenyin Mansion can do it."

Nangong Su narrowed his eyes slightly, and everyone present looked at him vigilantly. He was about to defend himself when a voice came from a distance.

"Long Youwei, are you very powerful?"
