The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 159
In Xichen Pavilion, Nangong Jin changed her clothes under Chang Xin's service, and tidied up in front of the mirror.

"My lord, are you going to enter the palace today?" Chang Xin asked softly behind Nangong Jin while helping him arrange the jade belt.

Nangong Jin was silent, and a cloud of darkness stained his mighty face.

After a while, he snorted softly and said calmly, "Hmph, I'm going to ask the emperor for my sin today."

Chang Xin knew what was going on, but he didn't answer. He secretly blamed his prince. A few days ago, he advised the prince to hunt down the escaped assassin as soon as possible, but Nangong Jin just sat on Mount Tai.How is it now?Nangong Jin's mind was complicated, he was naturally not afraid that Nangong Huan would blame him, but was entangled in Ning Ningyan, a woman he loved and hated at the same time.

"My lord, you are the emperor's younger brother. I believe that even if the emperor knows about the matter, he will not blame you." Chang Xin only comforted him with kind words.

There seemed to be a sneer on King Jing'an's face, he straightened his collar and turned to look at Chang Xin, "Hehe, even if he blames me, so what? People will run away after all, so do what you love."

"Yes, yes..." Chang Xin said repeatedly, he was not ignorant of the prince's dominance in front of the emperor.

What Chang Xin thought, Nangong Jin didn't take it to heart, Chang Xin didn't know about all of this, whether it was the identity of the assassin or the special deal between him and Ning Yan, it was enough to bury such things in his heart, there was no need to Tell others about it.

After everything was taken care of, Nangong Jin left Xichen Pavilion. Ma Tong had already prepared his mount as instructed.

Nangong Jin lifted her robe and shook her lapel, flew onto the horse, flicked the whip lightly, and after a while of neighing, the horse galloped, raising a cloud of dust.

On the way to the palace, Nangong Jin's eyes were deep. Although he said he was going to plead guilty, he knew in his heart that his imperial brother would not do anything to him, although the two had already had their own concerns.

In the Chaoyang Hall, behind Nangong Huanduan sitting on the Longshu table, there was a stack of memorials sent in from all over the country in recent days in front of him. According to his personality, these things are usually left to the servants and other civil servants to do, but Today, it seemed like a whim, and I personally reviewed it.

To say that the content of these excerpts really makes people feel heavy. Either there is a snowstorm somewhere, or there is a friction somewhere on the border with a neighboring country. In short, it is something that makes people feel a little tricky.

However, Nangong Huan's expression didn't feel dignified at all, and she was still smiling as usual, as if she was watching something to relieve boredom.

The little eunuch hunched over and quickly ran into the room, and knelt down under the desk.

"Report to the emperor, King Jing'an is asking to see you outside the door."

"Oh?" Nangong Huan thought for a moment without raising her eyelids. "Just him?"

The little eunuch nodded, "Going back to the emperor, there is only King Jing'an."

With a soft snap, Nangong Huan threw the booklet in his hand onto the table, secretly thinking in his heart why this somewhat difficult-to-talk imperial brother came here.

Nangong Huan said softly, "Let him in."

"Hey." The little eunuch who reported the incident retreated with his skirts up. It was not long before Nangong Jin came to the palace in stride. stern.

"Imperial brother Nangong Jin sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Nangong Jin knelt down on one knee and saluted Nangong Huan. Although he is a brother of a compatriot, after all, there is a distinction between monarch and minister. These etiquettes are absolutely unacceptable Lack of.

"Hahaha... What kind of wind brought you here, brother, hurry up, get up and be polite." Nangong Huan had a kind face, calling Nangong Jinping, as if he was very happy for his arrival.

After thanking the emperor, Nangong Jin stood up and stood below in an orderly manner.

"Come on! Show King Jing'an a seat!" Before the emperor could finish his sentence, Nangong Jin knelt down on the ground with another plop.

"Hold on, Your Majesty! My brother is guilty and dare not take a seat." Nangong Jin was taken aback for a moment, and asked with a puzzled look on his face. At the same time, he also stood up and turned out from behind the table. "Imperial brother, what you said made me confused. What is your crime? Where did you start?"

"Your Majesty, my brother is not doing well. I'm here to plead guilty today..." Nangong Jin cupped his fists upwards, bowed his head and replied. In the dark, he was also listening to Nangong Huan's words, observing his words.

Nangong Huan's dragon robe trembled, and she came to Nangong Jin, as if she wanted to reach out to help him up. "Emperor brother, why are you disadvantaged in doing things?"

Nangong Jin sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, the assassin who assassinated General Changning a few days ago..." At this point, he paused slightly.

"Oh, this matter, my brother didn't say that I almost forgot about it, what's the matter, didn't you bring this assassin back to the palace for interrogation? Could something have happened?" Although the tone was calm, Nangong Huan's face was slightly dark When he got down, the smile just now gradually disappeared.

"Imperial brother deserves to die. I thought it would be safe to imprison him in the dungeon in my mansion, but I didn't want to be negligent for a moment, and let the assassin's accomplice rescue him. So far... his whereabouts are unknown."

The room fell into silence, Nangong Huan didn't speak anymore, his eyes were deep, and he looked down at Nangong Jin who was kneeling on the ground, his mind was turning and thinking.

"Oh! Unexpectedly, those villains are so powerful that they can go to the emperor's mansion to rescue people. This is not against heaven..." Nangong Huan shook his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and started to walk in the room. Unfathomable.

Although Nangong Jin was kneeling on the ground, she secretly observed Nangong Huan's every move.

"Your Majesty, my brother deserves to die for his crimes. Let me let go of the key criminals entrusted to me. Please punish me!" Nangong Jin clasped her fists again and said to Nangong Huan.

Nangong Huan smiled slightly, "No problem, when did this happen?"

Nangong Jin's eyes turned, thinking about how to answer.

"Returning to the emperor, this happened three days ago. The emperor has been sending people to investigate in the past three days, hoping to capture this person again, but the emperor is incompetent and finally found nothing, so today I am here to plead guilty to the emperor. "In fact, this Jiangnantian was rescued by Ning Ningyan and the others five days ago...

"Oh... three days ago, such a long time has passed, I am afraid that the assassin has already escaped, I don't know what clues have been asked from this population?" I don't really care.

"This is exactly the incompetence of the emperor's brother. During the few days of being imprisoned, the emperor tried his best to pry this person's mouth open and ask for some information, but this person is a steel-mouthed person. No matter what kind of punishment is given to him, he will remain silent." Nangong Jin tried his best to make these words sound more realistic, and narrated with embellishment.

"Hmph...these desperadoes! No wonder! They don't even care about their lives, so how could they tell the mastermind behind them..." Nangong Huan spoke calmly, and her voice floated.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for this incident." Nangong Jin pleaded guilty again. He knew that the truth of Nangong Huan's attitude towards him would soon be known.

However, Nangong Huan's reaction was beyond his expectation, he just laughed loudly, looking indifferent.

"Haha, why do you make such a big fuss, brother! Just now, I have already said that if you didn't mention this matter today, I would have forgotten it. Besides, these thieves are very cunning. How could such a thing happen?" It's your fault! Come, come, get up quickly." Nangong Huan walked in front of Nangong Jin, lowered her waist slightly, stretched out her hands, her eyes were unclear.

Although Nangong Huan would definitely not blame him, Nangong Jin was a little surprised by such a reaction. He didn't expect him to be so indifferent to this matter.

"Your Majesty, this..." Nangong Jin hesitated.

"Get up, you are not to blame for this matter, just wait until you go back and punish those guards severely, let this matter pass like this."

Having said so much, Nangong Jin no longer insisted on apologizing, otherwise he would appear to be ignorant of current affairs. He stood up and thanked the emperor again.

"Brother, remember, next time if something like this happens again, you have to be more careful. Don't let this happen again. It's a small matter to save the thieves. If those thieves sneak into the palace and hurt the little brother, that's a big deal." It's going to hurt me, hehe..." Nangong Huan said with a smile on his face, it was meaningful, as if this Nangong Jin was like the person he cherished the most.

"By the way, this matter was triggered by Shen Aiqing. I don't know if he knows about this matter?" Nan Gonghuan thought of Shen Haoyue's body and asked.

Nangong Jin shook her head, "Your Majesty, I haven't informed General Changning about this."

Nangong Huan nodded, "In that case, you should tell him, Brother Huang, so as not to cause any misunderstanding." He seemed to be absent-minded in his words, thinking about things secretly.

"As ordered, I will visit General Changning in person tonight." Nangong Jin replied silently, but he felt a bit tangled, because if he went to General Changning's mansion, he might meet Ning Ningyan again...

"Come on, brother, you and I haven't been together for a long time, don't let this trivial matter disturb our interest, let's stay in the palace for lunch today, it happens that the mother has often thought of you these days, I might as well go to greet you with me in a while." Nangong Huan enthusiastically stayed with Nangong Jin for dinner in the palace, Nangong Jin thought for a moment and agreed.

When Nangong Jin came out of the palace, it was already evening. Above the main hall, Nangong Huan smiled slightly, as if things were getting more and more interesting.
