The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 205

Although he had ordered to pursue overnight, he must capture this person, but it was too late, when the pursuers embarked on the pursuit, the person was already ten miles away.

After a night of chasing in vain, the pursuers returned to the royal capital Chaoliang to report to Helian Wuli. Although Helian Wuli was a little surprised when he heard the news, he didn't care about it anymore. He was just a small adjutant. It can't be too big a wave, if he goes back to Feng Nanchao, maybe it will be a good thing for him, and save him to go to worship Feng Nanchao.

……

After the lieutenant general left and escaped from Chaoliang, he traveled non-stop along the way, day and night. In two days, no water touched his lips, and his heart was like an arrow.In this way, he finally returned to the imperial capital on the morning of the third day.

Regarding the news of Shen Haoyue's treason, Nangong Huan at this time still knew nothing about it...

Even so, Nangong Huan felt a little uneasy in the past few days, because she hadn't heard from Shen Haoyue in the past few days. Since he set off for the expedition, the battle report has been coming from the front line within three to five days.And today should be the day when Shen Haoyue's generals will enter the capital, but until now, there has been no news.

Nangong Huanduan sat in the Jingyang Palace, retreating all the people. In the past few days, there has been no singing and dancing in the palace, and there are no beauties and concubines around Nangong Huan. He is no longer as busy as before. It's elegant, and most of the time I just sit quietly and meditate.

Shen Haoyue, Nangong Huan thought secretly in his heart, he had already made up his mind, when he returned victoriously, he would make him the King of Changning...

The dragon's beard on the golden crown trembled slightly, Nangong Huan stood up gently, put his hands behind his back, and walked gently in the hall, everything, he planned so perfectly.

"Report..." A long voice reached Nangong Huan's ears, and after the sound fell, an eunuch walked quickly to Jingyang Palace.

"Report to the emperor, a sergeant came down from the front line, claiming to report something important!"

"Oh? Let him in quickly." Nangong Huan said lightly. Although her tone was cold, a burst of light flickered in the dragon's eyes, unable to conceal the excitement in her heart.Although the person who sent the battle report was a few days late, he finally arrived.

Nangong Huan walked back to the Longshu case, waiting for the person who reported the incident.

After a while, the dusty lieutenant dragged his tired body, walked in from outside the hall, took a few steps, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Nangong Huan.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Nangong Huan slightly suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and calmed down lightly.

"Did General Changning send you here? Come on, report to me quickly, what is the situation ahead?"

To Nangonghuan's surprise, when the man raised his head again, his face was full of angry tears, and his red eyes seemed to be stained with blood.That look seemed to have finally seen a savior.

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong!" the lieutenant cried and bowed to the ground, speaking with difficulty.

Seeing this man's performance, Nangong Huan was startled. The first reaction in his heart was that there was a major defeat in the battle ahead, but in the next second, he couldn't help dismissing the thought in his heart, that Shen Haoyue was often How can a victorious general lose a battle?With his hand on the table, he leaned forward slightly.

"What made you panic so much? Tell me quickly!"

"Yes..." The tearful lieutenant straightened his unseemly clothes a little, looked up and kowtowed again, and told Nangong Huan everything in tears.

From how they successfully thwarted the invasion of the Western Jin Kingdom at the beginning, to how they took advantage of the victory to pursue, without stopping, the army approached Chaoliang, the capital of the opponent's king, to how Shen Haoyue attacked the city and tore off the human skin mask underneath, until the end. , he finally showed his true colors, and now he has become king in the Western Jin Dynasty.

The adjutant did not hide anything, and told all the things. Nangong Huan heard it clearly, and gradually changed his face...

"Your Majesty, not only did Shen Haoyue treason, most of the generals who went to the war between the two countries were also bought by this dog thief, and now they all stay in Chaoliang. The subordinates are grateful for His Majesty's Long En, and are unwilling to sell their masters for glory. That's why I desperately escaped from Chaoliang and sneaked back to the imperial capital to report, I hope His Majesty will make a decision soon!"

The voice of the deputy general's infinite sorrow echoed in Jingyang Palace, like a sad song.

Nangong Huan usually seldom gets angry, but at this moment, hearing that Shen Haoyue was treasonous, he could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. With a bang, the Longshu case in front of him was suddenly overturned, and the four treasures of the study were scattered all over the place, crackling .

With the dragon robe fluttering, Nan Gonghuan, like a raging dragon, suddenly stepped up to the adjutant, grabbed the man by the neck, with silver hair reflected on his head, and a cold light in his eyes.

"Is what you said true or false?!"

The deputy general at this moment has already made up his mind to die, even if the emperor doesn't believe his words, he still has to say...

"Your majesty, what I said is true! I am ashamed of your great kindness and failed to report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible. I wish to show my loyalty by dying!" With tear-stained eyes, Nangong Huan could tell that what he said was not a lie.

After a few seconds of silence, Nangong Huan let go of his hand abruptly, and the adjutant staggered unexpectedly.

"I already know about this, you go down!" Nangong Huan said weakly.

Nan Gonghuan, who had been strategizing all along, would never have imagined that, having exhausted all his tricks, he would not have the slightest doubt about this fake Shen Haoyue. He never thought that for so many years, there would be a jackal hidden so deep beside him.

Helian Wuli, how could he not know this name?This name has been heard continuously since he ascended the throne, and there was no news for a long time after that. Like other people, he thought that this person was dead, but he did not expect that he had turned into Shen Haoyue and was lurking beside him...

Nan Gonghuan hated both the insidious Hao Lianwuli and himself. He hated that Hao Lianwuli used his tens of thousands of soldiers in Fengnan to help him regain the Western Jin Dynasty, and even more hated that he didn't recognize him. true colors.

Nangong Huan punched hard on the bright pillar of the main hall, and the sound was muffled.

Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on his face.

Helian Wuli, I didn't expect you to play with me like this in applause...

Everything has come to naught, not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers he lost, even his plan to use Shen Haoyue to check and balance Nangong Jin has come to naught.

After a while, because of the talkative eunuchs and maids, the harem also learned the news. All the concubines had their own thoughts, but after half the salary, they continued to do their own things as if nothing had happened. After staying for a long time, they should know the rules here, and even more should know that Nangong Huan's temper is not their business, so why should they join in the fun.And in a quiet and solemn palace, the empress dowager dressed in Chinese clothes quietly closed her eyes, listening to the nurse beside her, drinking tea with a heavy face.Not far away, the faint and long-lasting incense in the censer rose faintly, and drifted away.

……

In Zhu Yefei's mansion, Zhu Yefei, Ning Ningyan and Yin Shuang were having lunch in the main hall. Nangong Jin, who also lived in the mansion, still did not come.

During the dinner, Zhu Yefei still had a casual face, talking with Ning Yan, but Ning Yan only responded softly, and did not show any serious interest in Zhu Yefei's words.

After living here for a few days, Yin Shuang also gradually let go of her guard against Zhu Yefei. When she came to eat today, she never brought the sword with her, because she could see that, as Ning Ningyan said, this Zhu Yefei It seems that there is really no evil.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ning Yan gently put down the bowl and chopsticks, and nodded slightly towards Zhu Yefei.

"Young Master Zhu, for many days, my master and servant have bothered enough at your residence. We plan to return to Linglong Mountain tomorrow."

Zhu Yefei could hear it clearly, and was taken aback for a moment, the food in his mouth seemed to be tasteless in an instant.

"Oh? Master Leng, why are you so anxious? Didn't I say that I hope you can stay here for a few more days, and when the two really don't want to stay any longer, I will send my men to escort the two girls Return to Linglong Mountain."

Zhu Yefei spoke clearly, and it seemed that he sincerely wanted to stay.

"Thank you Mr. Zhu for your kindness, but you also know that there are so many things on Linglong Mountain, and I'm very uneasy if I don't go back sooner." Ning Yan still insisted.

Hearing this, Zhu Yefei chuckled slightly.

"Excuse me for asking one more question. The uneasiness in your heart is true, but the words I heard just now are false. Is it the trivial matters in Linglong Mountain that make you uneasy? Or does staying by my side make you feel uneasy?" Zhu Yefei asked, his eyes fixed on Ning Ningyan's face, capturing every bit of her expression.

"..." Ning Yan was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Just when the room fell into a cold and silent atmosphere, footsteps sounded, and Nangong Jin stepped into the hall. He didn't know why he came today, who didn't show up much on weekdays.

Zhu Yefei could see clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hehe, the lord came here very leisurely today, what's the matter, did the food I sent to the lord's room not suit your appetite?"

Nangong Jin's eyes were gloomy and cold, she didn't look at Zhu Yefei at all, but just looked at Ning Yan at the side of the dining table.

Seeing Nangong Jin, Ning Ningyan was also slightly taken aback, wondering what he wanted to do here today.

Staring at Ning Yan for a while, Nangong Jin walked to Zhu Yefei's side.

"Master Zhu, this king has been living in your house for three days, so I'm bothering you." Nangong Jin's words showed a rare politeness, and he had already thought about it. It's impossible to coax him back, and it's even more impossible to force him back. He doesn't want to reproduce the original situation again, and the affairs of the mansion and the court really cannot be delayed. He plans to go back first this time, and after everything has been dealt with, Come again.It can be seen that this Zhu Yefei seems to be interested in Ning Yan, although he is very worried about this, but he knows that this Zhu Yefei will not let Ning Yan have any accidents, so he can rest assured for the time being.

"Hehe, your lord is very polite. It is my honor that you can stay here." Zhu Yefei said, seeing Nangong Jin's expression, he understood a little, and drank the glass of good wine in front of him without any concern.

"Tomorrow, the king will return to the imperial capital and will not disturb your life with Ning Yan any more." Nangong Jin said pretending to be unintentional, and turned her gaze to Ning Yan.

Zhu Yefei raised his eyebrows slightly, what did Nangong Jin say, was he trying to test him on purpose?Thinking about it, Zhu Yefei couldn't help chuckling.

"My lord, in that case, I would also like to thank you for your kindness on Ning Yan's behalf. When the lord leaves tomorrow, I will definitely see you off personally."

Hearing this, Nangong Jin felt very uncomfortable and jealous, but Ning Ningyan showed no expression on her face.

"Thank you, no need!" Nangong Jin turned and left after throwing down a few words.

Looking at the back of Nangong Jin leaving, Ning Yan kicked Zhu Yefei hard under the table, thinking what did you mean just now?Judging from what you mean, it seems that you really think that as Nangong Jin said, I live with you?

Zhu Yefei really didn't care about the slight pain in his leg, and continued to eat his vegetables...
