Chapter 170
As soon as Nan Gongyan returned to Prince Rui's mansion, Eunuch Li came to spread the word that the Crown Prince was waiting for him in the East Palace and asked him to come and talk.

The person who had just returned to the mansion to deliver the message came, and the news was really well-informed, but what is there to talk about between him and Nan Gonglan?

"Go back first, I will naturally visit the East Palace later."

At this time, Eunuch Li said again: "The prince and the prince also invited the princess to join him. At that time, the prince will hold a banquet in Qingfeng Pavilion, which can be regarded as a cleansing for the prince and princess."

Nan Gongyan and Ji Qingxue looked at each other in blank dismay, it seemed that this Hongmen Banquet really had to be attended.

This time Ji Qingxue was wearing a bright red palace attire, with a cinnabar mole on the center of her eyebrows, looking very coquettish.

Nangongyan was a little displeased: "What are you doing seeing Nangonglan dressed up so beautifully?"

At this moment Nangongyan is like a jar of mature vinegar, it smells really sour!
"I wear red clothes, that's because it's not easy to be seen by others when the blood splatters on my body!"

This reason made Nan Gongyan speechless: "Everything the princess said makes sense."

The elderly butler beside him silently hid his face, lord, you are too unprincipled!

Ji Qingxue and Nangong also got into the carriage. In the carriage, Ji Qingxue told Nangongyan repeatedly: "Wait a minute, if I can't help beating him, remember to stop me."

I don't know why, but Ji Qingxue thinks she has good concentration, but whenever she sees Nangong Lan, her hands itch for no reason, and she really wants to beat him up.

Nan Gongyan was very curious: "Did you want to beat me up like this for a while?"

Ji Qingxue nodded honestly, there were too many times when she wanted to beat him up, especially when Nan Gongyan was pretending to have amnesia, accompanied Sima Yue to swim in the lake and eat, she was so angry that she almost buried him alive.

Nan Gongyan stretched out his hand and pinched her nose: "It seems that the princess has a lot of complaints about this king. Maybe it's because this king doesn't train enough on weekdays."

Wait a minute, what the hell is this inexplicable and ambiguous tone!

Looking at Nangongyan's ambiguous expression, and then thinking about the training he said, Ji Qingxue suddenly blushed: "Nangongyan, if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll pull out your tongue!"

Nangong Yan laughed loudly, even though they were already close, Ji Qingxue still couldn't help teasing her, he just liked to see her become angry from embarrassment.

Nan Gongyan grabbed Ji Qingxue's head and kissed her without saying a word, leaving only Ji Qingxue's slurred voice.

The guard driving the carriage outside kept chanting in his heart, don't see evil, don't listen to evil!

It was really hard for him.

Qingfeng Pavilion.

Nan Gonglan greeted very enthusiastically: "Fifth brother, you are back. Today's banquet is for you and your younger siblings to clean up the dust. All of them are your favorite dishes. Try it!"

No matter how you say it, Nan Gonglan's gaze has been lingering on Ji Qingxue.

The look in his eyes made Nan Gongyan very uncomfortable, as if something he loved was coveted by others.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew open the window of Qingfeng Pavilion, Ji Qingxue shrank her neck, Nan Gongyan quickly asked her: "What's wrong? Is it a little cold?"

Before Nangonglan could speak, Nangongyan immediately took off her coat and put it on Ji Qingxue's body: "Axue, do you feel better now?"

Ji Qingxue smiled at him: "Well, it's much better."

Nangong Lan clenched her hands into fists, that person had never smiled at herself like this before.

"Fifth brother, try this steamed crucian carp, I remember you used to love this."

Nan Gongyan said lightly: "The crown prince made a mistake, the one who likes to eat this dish is not me, but fourth brother."

Nangong Lan's face froze, and she couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in her hand, and the atmosphere became awkward.

At this time, Nan Gongyan proposed to go to Mingyue Hall to see Nangong Xuan: "If the prince has nothing to do, Axue and I will go to Mingyue Hall first. I heard that my father is seriously ill, and I really want to go see it."

"Okay, your father is seriously ill, and you should go and see him."

Nan Gongyan got up and left the table, Nan Gonglan didn't say a word, just stared at their backs with dark eyes.

He felt that the scene of Ji Qingxue wearing Nangongyan's coat made him look very dazzling, Nangongyan, soon I will trample you under my feet, and you will never turn over for the rest of your life.

Mingyue Palace has become very lonely and desolate now, only a few old palace people are serving Nangong Xuan.

Nan Gongyan stepped forward and called out, "Father, how are you doing these days?"

Nangong Xuan looked at him, suddenly a little dazed, he blurted out: "Yu Chang."

Nangongyan was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that one day he would hear his concubine mother's name from his father's mouth, he clenched his fists tightly, Ji Qingxue's eyes showed a look of worry, she gently grabbed Nangongyan's hand Fist, and slowly stretched it out, whispered: "It's okay, I'm here."

With Ji Qingxue's reassurance, Nan Gongyan's emotions about to go berserk were instantly soothed.

In fact, for so many years, he really wanted to ask him personally, why did he treat his mother and concubine like that back then, why did he treat himself like this?
Nangong Xuan said slowly: "You are back, sit where you want."

His eyes fell on Ji Qingxue, and he couldn't help laughing: "In the end, you still chose her."

Nangongyan hesitated to speak, but Ji Qingxue kept encouraging him with her eyes. After holding back for so long, it's time to ask the matter clearly.

"Father, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you a question."

"Tell me, I will tell you what you want to know."

Nan Gongyan closed his eyes, struggling constantly in his heart, the turbulent emotions in his chest were clamoring to burst out of his body, the pain he had endured all these years came to him like a tide.

After a long time, he asked, "Father, have you ever truly loved Mother and Concubine, even if only for a moment?"

this problem.Nangong Xuan once asked himself about Chu Yushang, the woman who left her clansman behind and followed her to Dayan.

"I have owed many people in my life, and the one I am most sorry for is your concubine mother."

He still didn't answer his question directly, Nan Gongyan had already given up any hope, the question just now was just an answer for his mother and concubine.

"Did you kill the concubine?"

This time Nangong Xuan stopped talking about him, but answered bluntly, yes.

Although he knew it a long time ago, it was a different mood when Nan Gongyan said this from his mouth.

"Why, for the so-called immortal medicine?"

Nangongyan's expression was always indifferent, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger, but Ji Qingxue knew how much anger was hidden in his calm appearance.

"You really knew everything a long time ago." Nangong Xuan slowly walked down the hall, "Then why have you pretended not to know for so many years?"
