The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 141
Two or three days had passed since the assassination time that night, and Shen Haoyue and Ning Yan seemed to have gradually calmed down.It was still daylight, Ning Yan felt a commotion beside her, and opened her eyes with some difficulty, it turned out that it was Shen Haoyue who was getting dressed and getting up.

Last night, Ning Yan had been waiting in the room for a long time. Shen Haoyue hadn't returned for a long time, and fell asleep unknowingly in a trance.

"Haoyue..." Ning Yan, with sleepy eyes, called softly, stretched her jade arm out of the brocade quilt, and asked softly, "When did you come back last night..."

Shen Haoyue put on the close-fitting brocade clothes, and was putting on boots on the ground.

"Well, Ningyan, you're awake. It's been three o'clock since you came back last night. Not only have things been busy in the military these past two days, but I've also been picking up the identities of those culprits. As for the mastermind behind those thieves, I have also I sent someone to investigate, and I believe there will be clues and whereabouts soon." Shen Haoyue said softly, with an unknown emotion floating in his eyes.

"Oh..." Ning Yan hadn't had enough sleep yet, but seeing him get up, she also planned to get up and get dressed. Shen Haoyue hurriedly stopped her and covered her with the beautiful quilt again, "Ning Yan, it's still early, you Let's sleep a little longer, the emperor called me to do something today, I'm going to prepare." After that, he lightly stroked Ning Yan's cheek, and the place where his fingertips touched was as smooth as jade.

Ning Ningyan's eyes were blurred, and she only said hello, and continued to sleep...

Looking at her peaceful appearance, Shen Haoyue wanted to force a smile, but in the end he couldn't smile, and tucked up the loose quilt for Ning Yan, took the cloak beside her, and walked out quietly.

Everything returned to calm again, and there was only Ning Yan left in the pink curtain of the General Pavilion. When it was true that there was no sound, Ning Yan quietly opened her eyes, her eyes were as sharp as usual, and the sleepy eyes just now were completely gone. .

In the past few days, Ning Yan secretly met Xuan Fengming again, told him the matter, and told her guess that it was most likely someone sent by his father. He was also very surprised, and Ning Yan told him that he should also pay attention to the movement of Linglong Mountain to avoid any new accidents.

Although she was calm on the surface, in fact Ning Ningyan was very disturbed in her heart. She secretly made up her mind that today when Shen Haoyue was in court, she would secretly meet Xuan Fengming again.

Today is not the day of the imperial court, Shen Haoyue attacked because the emperor alone wanted to summon him.The events of the past few days had already caused Shen Haoyue to be overwhelmed, but he had no choice but to go when the emperor summoned him. He also secretly didn't know why the emperor summoned him.

In the imperial study room, today's Nangong Huan was dressed in a light dragon suit, embroidered with flying golden dragons, and his silver hair tied up with a gold hairpin. He was very chic and unrestrained. On his face, he still had that senseless expression.

When Shen Haoyue just came in, Nangong Huan was writing calligraphy on the Longshu table.

"My minister, Shen Haoyue, sees the emperor." Shen Haoyue pulled up his clothes and knelt down, kowtowed and saluted.

Nangong Huan raised her head, carefully put the writing brush in her hand on the pen holder on one side, and rolled up her sleeves, "Shen Aiqing, don't be polite." Nangong Huanping retreated to the left and right. people.

After thanking him, Shen Haoyue stood aside with his head bowed, waiting for the emperor's words. He understood very well that if there were no other matters, the emperor would never call him into the palace alone.

"Shen Aiqing, how are you doing? How are the family members in the mansion?" A moment later, Nan Gongjin said softly, and a pair of dragon eyes glanced at Shen Haoyue, seemingly absent.

Shen Haoyue cupped his fists and clasped his hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The minister is very good, and the people in the mansion are also very good." When he spoke, Shen Haoyue's face was slightly lowered, and his expression was unclear. Peaceful.

"Hehe, that's great. I wonder how my wife is doing?" Nan Gonghuan seemed to be talking casually, admiring her work just now.

Shen Haoyue's heart sank slightly, wondering why the emperor mentioned Ning Yan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. She is fine."

Nangonghuan nodded in satisfaction, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and he didn't know why he was happy.

"Shen Aiqing, has this general's wife ever told you about King Jing'an?" Nangong Huanwu had to say such a sentence, which made Shen Haoyue a little ugly, thinking to himself: Could it be that the emperor came here today to find someone with me? awkward?
Shen Haoyue smiled and said: "Although Ningyan has a past with King Jing'an, but now she is the wife of the humble minister, and what she thinks and speaks in her heart is all the humble minister Shen Haoyue, how can she mention the prince again?"

"It's so good!" Nan Gonghuan seemed to be aware of Shen Haoyue's displeasure and taboo, he turned from behind the table, walked up to Shen Haoyue, looked at him with his hands behind his back, and after a while, there was a chuckle.

"Shen Aiqing, don't worry too much, I just want to know if King Jing'an has gone to the General's Mansion to make trouble again recently."

"Returning to Your Majesty, I haven't seen King Jing'an in recent days..." Shen Haoyue said truthfully.

"Oh, that's how it is." Nangong Huan nodded, "If he makes things difficult for you again in the future, you can just come to me, and I will make the decision for you." Nangong Huan's tone was flat, but determined, and she did not seem to be joking at all. .

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, Shen Haoyue wanted to kowtow to thank him again, but was pulled back by Nangong Huan.

"Shen Aiqing, you don't need to be so polite, come, come and sit down!" Nan Gonghuan went back to the back of the Long Shu table, and at the same time pointed to a chair beside her.

Shen Haoyue didn't want to sit down, but he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he had to obey.Compared to just now, now he seems to have a little understanding in his heart, guessing what the emperor is going to say to him.

After sitting down, Nangong Huan changed his smiling face just now and became a little more silent. He stared at Shen Haoyue with long eyes, thinking nonstop in his heart.

After a while, Nangonghuan finally spoke.

"Shen Aiqing, do you know why I helped you on the day of your wedding? You have to know that Nangong Jin is my younger brother, why should I give Ning Yan to you instead of him?" Nangong Huan said The sentence was clear, but Shen Haoyue still pretended not to hear clearly.

"I...don't know."

Nan Gonghuan sneered, and tapped a slender index finger on the table, making a clicking sound. Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from his eyes, and the star pupils turned, staring at Shen Haoyue.

"Shen Aiqing, because I value you!"

After saying a word, Shen Haoyue's heart sank. He was as smart as him. How could he talk so much that he didn't understand Nangong Huan's intentions. After all, his real identity was also the prince of the Western Jin Kingdom. How could he not see through this matter?
The seemingly simple sentence "I value you highly" is full of infinite charm. Shen Haoyue knew that Nan Gonghuan was trying to win him over in the open.

"Shen Aiqing, now a considerable part of the military power of my Fengnan Dynasty is in the hands of King Jing'an. You know my brother's temper very well, and sometimes he becomes stubborn. Speaking of my imperial brother, Shen Aiqing, you are much more sensible, hehehe..." Nangonghuan smiled again, her penetrating eyes kept looking at Shen Haoyue, capturing his every move.

Shen Haoyue listened, silently thinking about how to deal with Nangong Jin's words.

"Shen Aiqing, you have made innumerable military exploits for my Fengnan Dynasty, no less than my younger brother, and now you are only a general of Changning. If the time is right in the future, I may add you as King of Changning." Although The tone was flat, and it seemed to be discussing a happy event, but Nangong Huan's eyes could not see the kind of joy that should have been. No one could know what was going on in his heart, but what was revealed in those eyes was such a cold and evil spirit. .

These words are no different from a stone, or a big stone thrown into the calm pool of water in Shen Haoyue's heart, and it immediately became a thousand waves.

King Changning, what does this mean?This means that in Fengnan Dynasty, he can control the military power to compete with Nangong Jin!

Shen Haoyue thought for a while, and he understood that Nangong Huan was afraid that Nangong Jin would hold a heavy army and have great achievements. Sooner or later, he would be unfavorable to him, so he tried his best to win him over.

The two of them had their own confidantes, and kept silent, but Shen Haoyue was thinking about his own affairs, the relationship between Nangong Huan and Nangong Jin had nothing to do with him, it was whatever they loved.But if he really becomes the king of Changning in the future, and his subordinates control all the soldiers, wouldn't his dream of many years, the restoration of the country, be hopeless?

In the imperial study room, the monarch and the minister were each thinking about their own thoughts. After a long time, Shen Haoyue raised his head. Nangong Jin's handsome face was looking at him at this moment, and a strange smile slowly appeared between his lips and teeth...
