The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 272
In the imperial capital, the imperial palace at night has a peaceful atmosphere. There are countless red palace lanterns hanging above the corridors and pavilions. The bright red lights illuminate the surrounding three feet. From time to time, there will be a small group of palace guards wandering silently In every corner of the palace, all that could be heard was the clear clashing sounds of these people's neat steps and the green library machetes hanging from their waists.

On the road leading to the harem, a group of people and horses were silently walking forward. A few eunuchs in blue clothes carrying lanterns bowed their heads and opened the way silently. Behind them was a luxurious dragon chair for eight people. Looking at the light, the dragon chair reflected a faint golden light.

Nangong Huan closed her eyes and sat on the dragon chair, her head was swaying rhythmically with the shaking of the dragon chair, the golden silk dragon beard on the dragon crown trembled slightly, and her slender fingers seemed to be beating drums, gently bumping against each other. Holding the armrest of the dragon chair.Looking behind, there are more than a dozen court ladies, some holding incense burners in their hands, and some holding dragon and phoenix fans in both hands, and they also bow their heads respectfully and follow closely behind.

The team was silent and marched towards the harem. Nangong Jin was going to meet her mother, the Queen Gongsun, to have dinner together and discuss some matters by the way.

No one noticed that there was a masked man in black squatting on the slope of a palace tens of feet away from the team. He had been waiting here for a long time...

Seeing Nangonghuan's team slowly passing by, the face of the man in black hidden behind the veil gradually turned livid, and he clenched his hands tightly. He held his breath, and waited for Nangonghuan's team to go away before he slowly moved stand up.

"Nangonghuan, you, the emperor, did it very freely..." The man in black groaned in a low voice, and the next second, his legs fluttered, he jumped up from the slope of the house, and jumped to the other side. On the building, there was no sound, like a civet cat in the dark, and like a light ape, the belt fluttered with the figure, making a slight rustling sound, followed cautiously, keeping pace with Nangonghuan's team. A certain distance, followed slowly.

A long time after the black shadow had left, on the slope of the house where he had just appeared, there was another figure flashing, and under the hazy moonlight, a slender figure was revealed. A small dagger was hanging steadily. This man was wearing a leather mask, which was very scary, like a raptor cat owl that only appeared in the mountains at night, lifelike and eye-catching.On the mask, there are only two eyes shining with a little cold light.

After the figure of the man in black gradually disappeared from his sight just now, he followed the route of the man in black, walking silently until the time after a few incense sticks, the figure of the man in black appeared in front of him again In sight.

Nangonghuan's team has now arrived at the harem, and after giving soft orders, the dragon chariot slowly stopped, and Nangong Jin stepped down from the upper legs, and stretched lightly, as if she had been sitting for too long .

The maids behind followed closely and entered the harem together with Nangong Huan, while the eunuchs and the servants carrying the dragon chariot stood in place, waiting for Nangong Huan to come out again.

Countless candles illuminated the main hall of the harem very brightly. The Empress Dowager Gongsun was sitting next to a big table. Dinner had already been prepared on the table. There were all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.Facing all of this, Gongsun didn't care, as if there was nothing in front of her eyes, and the few palace maids standing behind looked at the delicious banquet, secretly swallowing their saliva from time to time.

"The emperor is here!" A clear voice came, and Nangong Huan walked in with a smile on his face.

"Huanger, I asked you to come here a long time ago. Why did you arrive so late? If you don't come again, the good food on this table will be cold." Gongsun said calmly, looking at Nangong Huanyi. Lifting the dragon robe, he sat beside her.

"Hehe, my son is late, and I still hope that my mother will make amends. The things ahead are very busy, and my son has just finished dealing with this." Nan Gonghuan waved his hand, and a maid next to him held the wine pot with both hands, and gave him a soft drink. He filled the jade cup in front of him.

"Emperor, eat more. These are your favorite dishes. I specially ordered people to cook them for you. Look at this crab, which was just brought into the palace today. It must be extremely delicious." Gongsun's family As he spoke, he picked up a piece of crab meat with chopsticks and put it in Nangong Huan's bowl.

"Hehe, I thank you, my queen. After a busy day, I feel hungry now." Nan Gonghuan said, and also took a piece for Gongsun. The mother and son had an infinitely warm dinner.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, it seemed that Nangong Huan's stomach was somewhat relieved, so she gently put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Gongsun.

"Mother, the bandit soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty have been defeated by the coalition forces of our dynasty and Beiyuan Kingdom, and now they have fled back to Chaoliang in embarrassment. Now the queen mother can rest assured that the crisis of our Fengnan Dynasty has been resolved."

Gongsun listened, his face was unusually calm, and he didn't show any joy.

"Huanger, I already know about this matter. If this is the case, Ah Jin will come back, right?"

As soon as Nangong Jin was mentioned, Nangong Huan's eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes seemed to become darker, and he smacked his lips.

"Well, don't worry, the queen mother, the son-in-law has issued an imperial decree for the emperor to return to the imperial capital immediately, and he will return in the next two days."

"Alas..." Gongsun let out a long sigh, and then gave Nangong Huan another piece of crab meat. After a short pause, he said again.

"My lord, I think that Ajin is not getting along with you right now. Look at what happened last time, which almost caused a catastrophe. These days, the Japanese palace has been thinking about this matter day and night. Ajin is getting less and less concerned about you now." This brother is in his eyes."

"Hmph..." Nangong Huan just sneered.

"Mother, it's not been a day or two since he's been like this, so why should you care about it? Don't worry, my son will never let him turn the world upside down. Maybe he doesn't have the strength now."

Gongsun wiped her mouth lightly with a brocade handkerchief to remove the grease from the corner of her mouth, and then lowered her voice a lot.

"Emperor, I think you should be more careful. This time Ajin led his troops to defeat the Western Jin Dynasty. His strength must have recovered a lot. Who knows if he will have another whim in the future and lead his soldiers to fight with you?" Confrontation, the first day, Bengong said, I hope you don't hand over the soldier talisman to Ah Jin, but you only said it was a temporary appeasement, and you didn't listen to Bengong's advice, now Ah Jin has enough troops to rival you , This really makes me feel worried, I'm afraid that the soldiers under him are only obeying the orders of King Jing'an, and they still know of the existence of you, the emperor..." Gongsun's gloomy voice made people feel very sad. Depressed, her eyes shone with worry, and the scene that worried her the most seemed to appear in her mind.

Nangong Huan drank the jade wine in front of her in one gulp, and squatted the jade cup on the table with a crisp sound.

"Empress, you should rest assured, this son knows well, as long as he doesn't know what happened at the beginning, he will never object, and he will definitely be arrested by his son, let's see how things develop in the future One day, sooner or later, I will take back the soldier talisman in his hand." Nan Gonghuan's voice was very firm, and he seemed to have made up his mind on this matter.

"Well...Huang Er, it's the best. Don't worry, Ah Jin will never know what happened back then. After all, so many years have passed, and that person has long since died..."

Nangonghuan nodded, and then gave Gongsun a knowing smile. This smile was so sinister, and this smile was so demonic.

On the slope of the harem, a few roof tiles had been lifted quietly, and the man in black lay there silently, using the kung fu of ten feet to detect the sound. It's hard for people to hear clearly, but this person's miraculous skills helped him, and he could vaguely hear [-]% to [-]% of their words.

Hearing Gongsun's weird words, the man in black smiled disdainfully, he laughed at Gongsun's assurance, he laughed at Gongsun's negligence.

Perhaps he is the only person who knows the truth now...

The man in black just put the eavesdropper on the conversation between the mother and the son in the main hall of the harem. The night was getting darker and darker, and gradually his black body had gradually merged with the darkness of Fangpo. If he remained calm, who would They also don't know that there is an uninvited guest here.

The man in black just stared at the situation below, and didn't notice that it was on another building, and at the same time, there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at him in the dark...

It took more than half an hour for Nangong Huan and Gongsun's dinner, and less than one-third of the sumptuous dishes on the table had been eaten, but at this time Nangong Huan was already full.

After bidding farewell to the Gongsun family, Nangong Huan walked out from the harem, followed by the maids who hung their heads. The eunuchs who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time saw that Nangong Huan had finally come out, so they panicked again. They all knelt down.

After getting on the dragon chariot, Nangong Huan returned to that appearance again, her eyes were slightly closed, and she tapped on the armrest of the chair lightly...

Seeing Nangong Huan's team walking away again, the man in black who had been lying on the slope of the house covered the uncovered roof tiles, finally stood up, and flew away.

The mysterious man wearing a cat owl mask in the distance is still closely following.

Jumping over the ridge of the house, the man in black left the palace in a short time without disturbing anyone. He was relieved until he jumped out of the tall courtyard wall of the palace. He used his land-flying kung fu to rush towards the palace like a gust of wind. Outside the city, until now, he has not noticed the person following him.

Two black shadows jumped out of the city wall one after another, and ran towards the east of the city...

The masked man in black closely followed the man in black in front. In order not to let the other party find out, he always kept a certain distance. In the dim night, he could only see the hazy silhouette of the other party.
