Chapter 1501 The Last Journey 1
"My daughter knows that this trip will be full of difficulties. The people lurking in Luopan Country are far away from their homeland, and any changes are possible. My daughter will carefully sort out the intelligence network over there and let them play their due role."

Ripple said immediately.

"Okay, I will hand the token to you later, so that you can do whatever you want after you go to Luopan Country."

"Yes, Father."

After finishing the official business, Emperor Qian turned to talk about family matters:

"Your mother is ill. Have you visited her?"

"My daughter went to visit her once, but because the queen mother was still angry with me, in order not to affect her recovery, my daughter arranged for someone to deliver precious medicine and medicinal food, and did not go again to cause trouble."

Ripple said bluntly.

"You! Don't you always obey your mother?"

Emperor Qian said helplessly.

"Father, I usually obey mother in everything, but this time her behavior really makes me feel disappointed. They are both her children, why would she abandon one for the other?
My daughter understands her dilemma, but she shouldn't have come up with the bad idea of ​​disguising herself as a man. Where would she put my safety? Where would she put the face of Princess Daqian?"

Lianyi said with a complaining look on her face and a bad tone.

"Well, this is not the end of the matter, is it? I will not allow your mother to make such a mistake. This time you will go to marry in a grand manner, and your father will definitely give you the respect you deserve."

After Lianyi heard this, the expression on her face eased a little, and she continued:
"Father, in fact, the Queen Mother's suggestion that I disguise myself as a man to replace my brother was just a trigger. Long before that, the Queen Mother wanted her daughter to marry cousin Nangong Qing.

But my daughter didn't like her cousin at all. After getting to know him, she found that he was very frivolous and a complete fool. He pretended to be a talented man who was well-read in poetry and books, which made my daughter very disdainful of him.

My daughter had also tactfully expressed that she did not want to have any further contact with her cousin, but her mother was like a madman, and she insisted that her daughter marry Nangong Qing. If it weren't for the invasion of Luopan Country, she would probably have issued an imperial decree."

Emperor Qian frowned after hearing this. He had always known what the Queen was thinking. Moreover, she had been praising Nangong Qing in his ears before, and it seemed that she wanted Anping to marry Nangong Qing.

However, he did not agree at that time, but only vaguely said that he would consider it. He never thought that the queen had already arranged for his daughter to meet Nangong Qing in private, and Nangong Qing was not yet in his daughter's eyes.

The daughter was unwilling, and the queen did not take the child's wishes into consideration. In the end, she forced the child to ask for the marriage herself. It was probably a decision made under the double pressure of the Nangong family and the queen.

"Anping, it's my father's fault for neglecting you."

"Father, you are busy with government affairs all day long. I don't want to bother you with such a romantic matter. I choose not to tell you."

Lianyi had a smile on her face at this time, indicating that she had never blamed her father.

"Anping, you must remember that you are a princess appointed by me personally. Your marriage is also a matter of state, not a trivial matter of love."

Emperor Qian began to build up his daughter's self-confidence.

"My daughter knows."

Only then did a genuine smile appear on Lianyi's face.

When the father and daughter were getting along harmoniously, Lai Fu suddenly came into the hall in a hurry, as if he had something important to report. Lian Yi tactfully took her leave.

When Lianyi returned to her palace, Duoduo sent a message at the same time, saying that the news of Nangong Qing's death had been passed back to the Nangong family, and the Queen probably also received the news.

"I understand. You keep an eye on the Nangong family. Madam Nangong might go crazy this time." Lianyi said lightly.

"Yes, Master."

At this time in the Nangong family, Mrs. Nangong fainted when she saw her son's body, and the entire Nangong family was in chaos for a while.

Nangong Yan was on duty and was invited back to the mansion by the servants. When he saw Nangong Qing's miserable corpse, he almost fell down and was supported by the servant beside him.

After Mrs. Nangong woke up, she started crying and wailing, then rushed over and hugged Nangong Yan's legs, insisting that her son was murdered by someone and that she would report it to the police.

Nangong Yan also felt that something was fishy, ​​so he arrested the people who escorted Nangong Qing away that day, and began to interrogate them one by one. He also privately asked his colleagues from the Ministry of Justice to help check the scene, hoping to find some clues.

The Nangong family spent three days trying to find out anything, and the result was an accident. It was mainly because Nangong Qing was too arrogant and insisted on riding a horse even though he was not a good rider. The horse was frightened and he was unable to control it in the first place, which eventually led to his own death.

Nangong Yan saw that he could not find out anything, so he could only wave his hand and let his family take care of his son's funeral. If they left the body alone any longer, it would start to stink.

After receiving this result, Mrs. Nangong spat out blood and fainted again.

However, Nangong Yan's concubines were secretly delighted, thinking that God had a good vision and let this annoying legitimate son die, so that their sons would have a chance to come to the fore. They all pretended to be sad on the surface, but secretly made small moves, trying every way to win Nangong Yan's heart, and then told their sons to behave well.

The news of Nangong Qing's funeral naturally reached the palace. The queen was "not well yet", so she asked the eunuch Fu'an beside her to pass a message to Lianyi, asking her to leave the palace to see off her cousin on behalf of the royal family, and also to see Nangong Qing off for the last time as a relative.

Lianyi just glanced at Fu'an, who still looked gloomy, nodded in agreement, and asked Yuejue to send Fu'an away.

Fu'an didn't see any clues from Lianyi's face, so he bowed and returned to Fengyi Palace.

The next day, Lianyi brought her people to the Nangong Mansion in a low-key manner. After Fulin revealed his identity to the Nangong family's guard, the Nangong family opened the middle door and welcomed Lianyi in.

When Nangong Yan saw Lianyi, he immediately bowed:
"Your Highness has met Princess Anping!"

Lianyi raised her hand to stop Nangong Yan:

"Uncle, there is no need to be so polite. Anping came here today to see my cousin off for the last time. Please accept my condolences, uncle!"

"Oh, Princess, you are so thoughtful! I never thought that one day, I would also be the one sending off the young."

Sadness flashed across Nangong Yan's face. After all, he was his legitimate son.

"I'll go burn some incense for my cousin first."

Lianyi finished speaking to Nangong Yan, then nodded to Madam Nangong who was standing behind Nangong Yan, called her aunt, and went with her entourage to burn incense for Nangong Qing.

Madam Nangong just uttered "hmm" softly, her eyes were unfocused, her face was pale and haggard, and it was obvious that she was hit hard.

When Lianyi was burning incense, Madam Nangong cast her gaze towards Lianyi's back. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, but disappeared in an instant.

Lianyi had burned incense and was about to get up and leave when the maid who was handing her the incense accidentally knocked over the cauldron, causing the incense ash to spill onto Lianyi's skirt. The maid was so scared that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Lianyi looked at the other party deeply and waved his hand:
"It's okay, just replace the incense burner and don't let your cousin lose the incense."

Madam Nangong immediately stepped forward and waved her hand to let the maid go, then she said with all her might:
"Princess, it was my fault for not making the arrangements properly. Please go to the side room and change your clothes."

My dears, here comes the fourth update. See you tomorrow~
