Leng Wang accepts the move, and Concubine Hun is a prosecutor

Seeing off Huangfu Yuqing and his party, Nangong Longze and Ji Lu did not leave immediately, the master and servant stared at the back of the carriage with each other's thoughts, until the traces disappeared in their eyes, and then slowly came back to their senses .

"Master, we haven't returned all night. If the second prince asks a question later, how should we respond?" Ji Lu asked cautiously. He knew that the relationship between Nangong Longkui and Nangong Longze was tense, and he also knew that They have been secretly followed by people. The disappearance of Nangong Longze last night will inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion. When they show up again, the second prince will definitely mention this matter. .

"Go back first. If anyone asks, tell me that this king couldn't sleep at night and went to the back mountain to practice swords in the bamboo forest." Nangong Longze's voice was low and hoarse.

"Your subordinate understands." Ji Lu nodded and left the inn first.

………Susu Gorgeous Dividing Line………

Cuizhuyuan is the temporary residence of Nangong Longze and Nangong Longkui in Jiangbei at the moment. This mansion is surrounded by mountains and water, and has an elegant environment. There is a huge green bamboo forest in the back mountain, so it is named Cuizhuyuan.

The melodious sheng and xiao in the bamboo forest fluttered clearly, like the whirling sound of the bamboo forest blown by the wind. It was surprisingly harmonious in the silence, revealing a tranquility that could soothe people's hearts. It was none other than Nangong Longze who had not slept all night.

"Fourth brother is so elegant. I heard that I couldn't sleep at night and came to the bamboo forest to practice swords. This early in the morning... I was also attracted by your Xiaosheng. Hearing this music seemed to reveal joy. It seems that Jiangbei The difficulty of the place did not affect the mood of the fourth brother." Nangong Longkui's deep voice came, with a faint smile, while speaking, the pair of deep and sharp eagle eyes were silently scrutinizing Watch the expression on the man's face change.

Nangong Longze's eagle eyes as deep as ink were also fixed on the man, and he saw Nangong Longkui holding a beautifully carved sapphire jug, walking towards him staggeringly and unhurriedly.

"Second brother is so elegant, I drank it so early..." Nangong Longze's eyes were slightly startled, but he didn't expect his Xiao Sheng to unconsciously reveal the secret in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and calm, and let it go leisurely. The bamboo Xiao on the lips, the corners of the lips hooked slightly, raised a smile, but there was no warmth in the eyes.

Nangong Longkui was approaching at this moment, his hawk eyes revealed a profound splendor, and he leaned lazily on the white marble railing around the emerald bamboo grove, the golden broken light from the early morning sun reflected on the cheeks of the man Bai Xi, making his face change. The eyes are clearer and softer, but the eyes are full of unrestrained wildness, adding a little sensuality to this piece of green bamboo shade.

"When I got up in the morning, I suddenly wanted to drink a few sips, and then I heard the Xiaoxiao sound of my fourth brother, and the alcohol seemed to be more intense. But I have to go to the river embankment to supervise the construction of the dam in a while, so I have to hold back even if I am very interested... "Nangong Longkui smiled at the corner of his lips, and said lightly: "However, there is one thing that I find strange. Why is the fourth brother's Xiaosheng happy? Firstly, the embankment project in Jiangbei still has a long time to complete. Don't you worry about your younger brother, younger siblings, and children after being separated for so long?"

Apparently, Nangong Longkui's words contained a profound meaning. He worked with Nangong Longze every day, how could he not feel the changes in the man's emotions? Although Nangong Longze hid his emotions very well, he But he knows the feelings in his heart like the palm of his hand, knowing that he misses someone all the time every day, and hopes to fly back to Beijing every minute and every second.

Nangong Longze's deep eyes flashed an imperceptible strange color, and he also sensed something keenly. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he said in a low voice: "Second brother said so, so that younger brother suddenly felt guilty. , the project in Jiangbei has not yet been completed, and there are still wives and children at home who are looking forward to returning, so my king's Xiao Sheng really shouldn't be so happy..."

At this moment, Ji Lu's figure appeared in the corner of the bamboo grove, walking towards the direction of Nangong Longze, only to hear the man throw the bamboo shovel in his hand to Ji Lu, and said in a low voice with no expression on his face: "Burn it!" .”

Ji Lu was slightly taken aback, but before he could react, the man had already walked out with long steps, and the low voice came again: "I will send a letter back to Beijing first, and then we will go to the river embankment to see the project." How is it going..."

The man's voice spread farther and farther away, and Ji Lu hurriedly left after him, leaving only Nangong Longkui standing there in a daze. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why for a moment.

………Susu Gorgeous Dividing Line………

As the night owl spread its wings and flew high, a small golden tube was hooked on its small black claws, and the man's deep and sharp eagle eyes stared straight at it as it flew away.

"My lord, I have already flown over the warning line." Ji Lu asked the man carefully for instructions in a low voice.

"Go—" Nangong Longze's thin lips parted slightly, and a single word escaped, but the cold eyes and the face engraved with indifference made people shudder, and shivered from the cold.

The master and servant hid in the jungle and followed out, galloping like lightning, closely following the night owl soaring in the air, watching it drift away, suddenly a sharp arrow flew into the sky, but shot Suddenly, the corners of Nangong Longze's lips curled up with a cold charm: "Here we come!"

Ji Lu's gloomy eyes also became deeper, his steps quickened, and he said in a low voice, "Master, do you want to stop him?"

"No, this time is the trick that this king set him..." Nangong Longze said in a low voice, watching another sharp arrow fly into the sky again, the nimble Ye Xiao did not escape the bad luck this time, and stabbed straight at the arrow after being injured. Stingingly, a beautiful parabola was drawn from the air, and it fell heavily to the ground, lying in a pool of blood.

Nangong Longze's brows were deeply frowned at this moment, and Ji Lu was no exception, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and he cursed softly, "Damn it!"

You must know that these night owls are all messengers they have worked hard to train, and it always hurts to see them.Nangong Longze didn't say a word, but silently gave the man a look, Ji Lu immediately shut up and became quiet.

Next, the two masters and servants walked very cautiously. Nangong Longze and Ji Lu approached in the direction where Ye Xiao fell, and saw a familiar long figure in the gap between the grass. The small golden tube pulled out the bright yellow paper inside, but the moment it was opened, his eyes were slightly dazed.

Blank paper!There is no word written on it! !His intuition told Nangong Longkui that this was not a good omen. With his keen sixth sense, the man suddenly turned his head and looked at Nangong Longze's approaching tall figure, as well as his pair of eagle eyes without any warmth.

"It really is you!" Nangong Longze snorted coldly, and the cold sharpness shot out of his deep pupils was as sharp as a sharp blade. If eyes could kill, Nangong Longkui would have died countless times.

A flash of panic flashed in Nangong Longkui's eyes, but he soon calmed down, and fixed his face calmly on Nangong Longze's eagle eyes, and said in a low voice: "What the fourth brother means... this king can't understand!"

"Then second brother, please explain..." Nangong Longze's contemptuous and indifferent eyes swept across Ye Xiao's body. The meaning behind his words could not be more clear. How else do you want to explain?

"Explain? Why does the king want to explain? Today, it was suddenly discovered that someone used Ye Xiao to deliver information. Of course, the king has to figure out what happened. This is the territory of Lingyue Kingdom. Of course, this king cannot Sit back and ignore it." Nangong Longkui's words were precise, and in the blink of an eye, he completely shirked his responsibility.

Nangong Longze frowned and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect the second brother to be so vigilant. It seems that this is not the first time this happened. I'm just curious. In this poor place in Jiangbei, the second brother Brother really thought it would be hidden and meticulous?"

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, it's better to be cautious. But this is the first time this king found Ye Xiao sending a message here, but I want to ask my fourth brother, look at this note, there is nothing on it Writing, is there a hidden mystery in it, or does it have other deep meanings? The fourth brother is familiar with the art of war, has been marching and fighting all year round, and has seen a lot of knowledge, maybe he can discover something..."

Nangong Longkui's conversation peak suddenly turned, and he couldn't help pushing himself away, but threw the hot potato to Nangong Longze. In fact, at this time, Nangong Longkui had already realized something. The appearance, and this blank note, he understands the deep meaning better than anyone else, this is just a trap deliberately lured by Nangong Longze.

Nangong Longze stared at the man's deep eyes for a long while, his cold and determined face suddenly softened, and the corners of his lips curled up with evil charm: "Second brother is such a clever person, does he still need to give advice to younger brother? If it is true If you want to speak for my younger brother, let this matter be put aside for the time being, and after the matter of building embankments and dams in the north of the Yangtze River is settled, I will return to Beijing and hand it over to my father for a decision."

After the man's words came out, the expression on Nangong Longkui's face froze slightly. Of course he could hear Nangong Longze's implication. It seemed that the other party had seen through his tricks a long time ago, but he didn't intend to tangle with him anymore.

"Fourth brother is right, the construction of embankments and dams in the north of the Yangtze River is the key." Nangong Longkui forced a smile, but the smile was quite far-fetched. Regarding how Nangong Longze will sue Nangong Yan after he returns to Beijing, if Nangong Yan finds out about what he has done, wouldn't it ruin his plan.

Staring at the man's flickering eyes, Nangong Longze cast a last cold glance at him, turned and left without looking back, Ji Lu followed closely, still frowning, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Just as the master and servant turned around to leave, they met He Jia, the second prince's personal bodyguard. When Nangong Longze looked at him coldly, the boy trembled slightly, and bowed his hands with fists in his hands. He saluted: "This subordinate has met King Pingnan!"

Nangong Longze let out a cold snort from the tip of his nose, and didn't even respond to him, passing by, staring at the man's back as he went away, He Jia secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, and strode towards Nangong Longkui again go.

"Second Prince—" He Jia lowered his voice and stepped forward to salute.

Nangong Longkui nodded slowly with a dignified expression, his sharp eyes fell on the man's face, and he responded coldly: "How is the matter that the king told you? Now something has changed, we must speed up our actions .”

He Jia's eyes were slightly dazed, and he stared at his master's solemn expression, then he came back to his senses and nodded again and again: "This subordinate understands."

………Susu Gorgeous Dividing Line………

It has been more than a month since Huangfu Yuqing returned to Beijing. In addition to the restaurant business getting better and better, the money shop and gambling house have also been established and entered the trial operation stage. Taking children to do business, although life is very busy and fulfilling, but also She still couldn't stop the woman from missing someone. Since she left Jiangbei last time, there had been no news of the man, but she believed that what Nangong Longze had said to her, he would return to Beijing safely.

In the backyard of Prince Pingnan's Mansion, a beautiful figure was wielding a sapphire soft sword skillfully. Fragments of sunlight danced on her face, as if covered with a layer of gauze mist, and her long eyelashes A fragmented shadow was cast on Bai Xi's skin, the three thousand blue silks were black and bright, and they were pulled up casually with only a hosta hairpin, they were very beautiful.

In the days without a man by her side, Huangfu Yuqing practiced her sword more diligently. She knew that before he came back, she not only had the responsibility to protect herself, but also the safety of her children. She had to be strict with herself, It is very strict to ask myself to set aside a few hours every day to practice swordsmanship diligently.

As the last ray of silver light streaked down from the sky, the woman was already dripping with sweat, but her clear watery eyes were shining brightly with wisdom, as thorough as water, but without a trace of temperature, the sun was shining softly and softly. Sprinkling on her face, there was a burst of beautiful light, and Bai Xi's face was set off extremely beautifully. The whole person looked as white as a lotus in early summer, pure and clear.

"Feng Ling, accompany me into the palace." Huangfu Yuqing's cold voice escaped in a low voice. Instead of sitting at home and waiting for news from the man, she wanted to go into the palace and inquire about the emperor. More than a month had passed. Why is there still no news about the man.

"Okay... Is the concubine going to the palace to inquire about the prince?" Feng Ling was startled for a while, and then a complicated light flashed in her eyes. For more than a month, let alone the concubine has been thinking about the prince, even if It's her, and she has also been thinking about Brother Ji who is in Jiangbei.

"Well, I can't just sit and wait any longer. I believe that Emperor Father must know their situation in Jiangbei. No matter how the progress of building embankments and dams is, they must give the emperor an explanation." Huangfu Yuqing nodded and said own ideas.

"Well, I'm going to hug the little prince, and then accompany the princess into the palace." Feng Ling nodded again and again, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. In fact, as long as he knew that they were safe and sound in Jiangbei, he would feel at ease. up.

With the child in their arms, the master and servant entered the palace in a sedan chair. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they heard that something important happened in the palace today. Qi Tiantai went to watch, and many concubines and concubines also went to Qi Tiantai to watch the fun after hearing the news.

"Feng Ling, let's go too..." Huangfu Yuqing didn't hesitate at all, she would of course go wherever Nangong Yan was, so she hurried towards Qitiantai with the child and Feng Ling in her arms.

The Qitiantai is paved with flat bluestone. At the moment, there is a strange-shaped stone platform in the center, facing all directions, and each side is covered with water ripples. At this moment, the water surface is very quiet, but everyone's eyes are not blinking. staring at the water, with different expressions on their faces.

I saw Nan Gongyan carefully looked at the side instrument on the ground, and asked: "This is the thing you said that can measure earthquakes? Just relying on it... can it really predict earthquakes?"

"The terrain is peaceful now. If the emperor wants the grass people to come up with proof, the grass people are really powerless. Only after an earthquake has the emperor truly believed that the grass people's words are true." Ming Zhaozhi seemed a little helpless.

Hearing this, Nan Gongyan thought about it carefully, and it was indeed true, he walked back and forth on the Qitiantai with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice: "I will trust you for now, and you will tell the supervisor the details later , and write it down carefully with pen and paper.”

"Yes." Ming Zhaozhi nodded in response.

The rare things were also looked at, and the matter of the geodetic instrument was finally explained. Nan Gongyan waved his hand and dismissed all civil and military officials. At this moment, a father-in-law stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, Princess Pingnan ask to see!"

A dark color flickered across Nangong Yan's deep eyes, and his originally cold and vigorous face became more solemn, and he frowned and said in a low voice: "Why is she here? Could it be that someone leaked the news?"

"Slave... I don't know, but it doesn't look like...Princess Pingnan may not know..."

At this time, the gully on Nangong Yan's forehead stretched a little, and he nodded slowly: "Bi—"

The father-in-law secretly let out a long breath of relief. Of course he knew why the emperor had been in a bad mood for the past two days. A companion is like a tiger, so he can only wait on him cautiously, lest he will be killed if he is not careful.

Soon, Huangfu Yuqing was led by the palace servants to come to Nangong Yan. The man with a gloomy complexion, when his eyes met her, seemed to be trying to control some kind of emotion, the corners of his lips curled up, squeezing out A deep smile.

"The concubine sees the father, long live the father——" Huangfu Yuqing bowed and saluted, and said respectfully.

"Excuse me." Nan Gongyan's tone was very gentle, he stared at Huangfu Yuqing, but the smile on his lips seemed a little stiff.

Huangfu Yuqing's clear watery eyes flashed an imperceptible strange color, and I feel that the man's eyes and expression are a little unnatural today, maybe it's because the geodetic instrument is not going well, or something else...

"Father seems to have something on his mind. Is it because the geodetic instrument is not going well?" Huangfu Yuqing tentatively asked, but she had already heard that the geodetic instrument was completed before she came here. Mr. Ming was very worried. Will leave the palace soon.

"Uh?! Do you think I have something on your mind?" Nan Gongyan's deep eyes flashed a strange gleam, staring at the woman's small face, he asked indifferently, "Qing'er, have you...have you done anything lately?" What strange dream?"

"Strange dream? The concubine doesn't understand the meaning of the father..." Huangfu Yuqing's attention was quickly diverted by the man's words, she tilted her head thoughtfully, she really didn't understand why the father Ask her such a question out of the blue.

"It's nothing..." Nangong Yan saw the woman's bewildered face, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, but he recovered his natural expression in a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "I just asked casually, don't take it to heart."

A flash of complexity flashed across Huangfu Yuqing's eyes, he stared at the man's vigorous profile for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said straight to the point: "Today, the concubine entered the palace, and there is actually one thing I want to ask my father."

The woman's words made Nangong Yan's eyes fall back on her face, narrowed his eyes half-closed, and said in a low voice: "You might as well speak out about it."

"Father, the prince has been away from Beijing for almost two months, but there is no news so far. I just want to know where the prince is now? Is he still building dikes and dams in the north of the river, or has he gone to other places?" Huangfu Yu Qingli His small face was full of seriousness and awe, and his watery eyes were fixed on the man's deep and dark eagle eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Ze'er...he is still in Jiangbei for the time being. The project of building dikes and dams this time is huge. I also know that it has been too long for you two to be separated, but it is still important for the state. Qing'er, I hope you can understand this. It makes sense." Nangong Yanning looked into the woman's eyes, his eyes were as calm as water, and his tone was very peaceful and deep.

Huangfu Yuqing was still puzzled at first, but now when she stared at the man, she felt that Nan Gongyan's expression was extremely firm and indifferent, it didn't look like she was lying, and she immediately felt more at ease.

"The concubine is only worried about the safety of the prince. With the words of the father, the concubine can feel at ease. Forgive the concubine for being rude and deliberately entering the palace to disturb the emperor." Huangfu Yuqing bowed and said goodbye politely.

"Since you have entered the palace, you can stay for two more days. The queen mother and your mother and concubine were still talking about their children in front of me two days ago. You take the cloth and leave the compassionate palace to greet the queen mother, and let the queen mother be happy. She's a happy old man."

"The concubine has already let the servant girl carry the cloth to leave the Compassion Palace, and now the concubine is following along..." Huangfu Yuqing nodded, smiled, then turned and left.

Looking at the woman's slender back, Nangong Yan's deep pupils became darker and darker, and his brows were tightly frowned. The father-in-law at the side could only carefully observe the expression on the master's face, looking frightened.

"Go and ask the Second Prince, when is he planning to leave? By the way, he must not tell Princess Pingnan anything about King Pingnan's affairs..." Nan Gongyan said in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, the slave obeys the order." The father-in-law got the order and left in a hurry with relief. In the past two days, he would rather the emperor send him to run outside and stay by Nangongyan's side. He can feel the pressure all the time. , Inexplicably, the nerves of the whole body are also tense, this feeling is really not a taste.
