Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 205 The Emperor's Uncle's Story

Li Yang made a chopping motion.

"Snapped!"

Before Li Yang finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound, it was the sound of Nan Gongxun's slap on his face without warning.

"This king has already said, don't hurt Zhu Zixin! Have you forgotten?"

"Yes."

Li Yang covered his slapped cheek and said in a low voice.

Nan Gongxun strode away for the first time without looking back.

At this time, Nan Gongxi had already returned home at the Prince's residence.

Zhu Zixin rushed to meet him and asked, "His Royal Highness, what's the matter?"

"Well, Zixin, thanks to you, we won this round! Although we failed to bring Nan Gongxun down, we also boosted his spirit. In the future, I will find a way to collect evidence and annihilate him in one fell swoop. !"

Nangong Xi said happily.

"Well, actually, speaking of it, I'm all to blame for this matter. If the crown prince didn't want to save me, I'm afraid he would have collected all the evidence of Nan Gongxun's private military training..."

Zhu Zixin has always blamed himself for this matter.

"Zixin, how can I blame you, Nan Gongxun is too cunning! It's okay, I believe, we will have a chance in the future!"

Nangongxi heard the words and comforted Zhu Zi.

After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and ordered: "Come here, prepare bath water for this king. This king needs to take a good hot bath."

"Yes."

A servant girl responded and went to prepare.

Zhu Zixin also said after hearing the words: "That Zixin also resigned!"

"Zixin, don't worry!"

Nangong Xi said.

"Is there anything else the prince needs?"

Zhu Zixin was puzzled and asked.

"Don't you want to know who the person in that tomb is? Anyway, it will take some time for the bath water, so I will tell you the story."

Nangong Xi said.

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin became interested, stopped, and sat on a chair beside him.

She thought she could only hear this story from her eldest brother, but now she can hear the prince tell her in person, so she is naturally happier.

"Zixin, before telling this story, I want to show you something."

As Nangongxi said, she naturally took Zhu Zixin's hand and led her to her bedroom.

At this time, the night was already deep, and everything was silent outside the courtyard. It was winter, and as soon as he walked out the door, the cold wind blew straight into his collar. Only now did I realize that I had let Nangongxi hold hands and walk so many ways without any precaution.

His face flushed instantly, Zhu Zixin looked at Nangongxi, in the corridor, illuminated by the fiery red lanterns, he was so handsome that he was not human, even with just a side face, it was enough to fascinate thousands of women.Zhu Zixin involuntarily took a few more glances.

As if aware of her gaze, Nan Gongxi also turned her head, smiled slightly, showing a row of white teeth, and asked:
"looking at what?"

"Oh no, nothing!"

Fearing that his little thoughts would be seen through by him, Zhu Zixin stammered.

"Heh... Since I was a child, people have always praised me for being handsome. Could it be that Zixin is fascinated by my handsome appearance?"

Unexpectedly, Nangongxi's next words were to the point, and she really uttered Zhu Zixin's inner thoughts nakedly.

"Then... where is it!"

She hastily argued.

"No, no, why are you stuttering?"

Nan Gongxi seemed to want to tease Zhu Zixin on purpose, so she said deliberately.

Because he found that although Zhu Zixin was fearless, when it came to the relationship between men and women, he would show his daughter-like attitude.But he happened to like to see her shy look the most.Therefore, he didn't know when, he liked teasing her very much.

"I...why do I stutter? I...I just...oh, forget it, you brought me here to listen to the story, what are you talking about?"

Being asked nothing, Zhu Zixin hastily changed the subject.

Seeing her like this, Nan Gongxi's mood suddenly improved, and she didn't want to continue to embarrass her, so she smiled and said:

"Okay, no nonsense, I'll talk as I walk."

After Nangongxi said this, his expression became serious, and he said: "That year, I was only four years old, and the emperor of Yue Kingdom was not my father, but my grandfather."

"and after?"

Seeing Nangongxi pause, Zhu Zixin couldn't help asking.

"At that time, the crown prince was not my father, but the uncle of the emperor. He was strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. He always led the army to fight and fought outside. He rarely came back once a year. That time he came back from the battlefield and came to Yao Palace. Play, he once gave me a sword and taught me a lot of martial arts. When I was young, my favorite was the emperor's uncle."

Having said that, Nangong Xi lowered her head again and stopped.His expression suddenly became very sad.

Then, he leisurely said:
"I didn't know that my father had planned it all the time. When the uncle came back from the battlefield again, he was arrested by the grandfather and put in prison. After I heard the news, I cried for a long time. I didn't understand Why was such a good emperor uncle arrested by the emperor's grandfather. Later, not long after, my father was established as the new prince, and two years later, when the emperor passed away, my father became the emperor. I am naive I thought that my uncle would be saved if my father became the emperor, so I happily begged my father to let him go, but that time, my father went into a rage and kicked me out. He also ordered me not to intercede for the emperor's uncle in the future. I don't understand why, but I really dare not mention it again. Since that time, I have never heard from the emperor's uncle again. But I never thought that he would actually I was imprisoned in the tomb by my father."

At this point in the story, Zhu Zixin seemed to understand something. She asked, "Did your father do that?"

Nangong Xi nodded and said:

"Later, I overheard people talking about it, saying that the father used a fake letter to deceive the emperor's uncle back. The letter said that there was a rebellion, and hoped that he would bring troops back immediately to rescue him. Unexpectedly, the emperor's uncle had just arrived. Outside the capital, it was captured by the emperor's grandfather..."

"So, all of this is your father's conspiracy? The purpose of him deceiving your emperor's uncle to come back is to convince your emperor's grandfather that your emperor's uncle came back to seize the throne?"

When Zhu Zixin heard this, he immediately understood and asked.

"Exactly!"

Nangong Xi's tone was very light, but she nodded with a sigh, and then looked at the sky, but the sky was gray.

...I didn't expect Nangong Yao's throne to be obtained in this way.

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin completely understood.No wonder why Nangong Xi felt so sad when she saw that strange man!
That's his uncle!
"I see!"

Zhu Zixin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Before she knew it, she had entered his bedroom with Nan Gongxun.It was the first time for Zhu Zixin to come back to Nangongxi's bedroom. Several candles were lit in the room, illuminating the whole room very brightly.

Zhu Zixin glanced at the room and found that most of the furnishings were in calm dark colors, which was extremely irrelevant to Nan Gongxi's age, and he didn't understand why he loved those dark colors so much at such a young age.

"Sit down, I'll show you something." After Zhu Zixin was settled, Nan Gongxi walked to the opposite wall, where a sword was hanging. The light is a good sword at first glance, and it must be wiped frequently by people to make it look so bright.

"The name of this sword is Long Yin. It was given to me by my uncle. Since childhood, he had high expectations for me. This sword was originally his favorite thing, but it was given to me when I was four years old. Gave it to me!"

Gently groping for the sword, Nan Gongxi's thoughts seemed to have drifted to a very distant age.

"Prince, I know you feel very sad and guilty, but things have already happened and we can't change them, so don't think too much about them!"

Zhu Zixin has never been good at comforting others, but at this moment, she couldn't bear to see Nangong Xi like this, and said involuntarily.

"Well, I know that if you were born in an emperor's family, you will inevitably have to kill each other. This is our fate, and it cannot be changed!"

Nangong Xi sighed.

"Yes, so, His Royal Highness, in the future, you must not be soft on King Ji, otherwise, the person who died will be you. Isn't today's incident a lesson? If my elder brother and I had not entered that tomb, Otherwise, we may still be circling inside at this moment, we are not sure whether we can come out, even if we come out, it will be too late, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to explain it!"

Zhu Zixin said again.

"Well, you're right! Nan Gongxun can't stay. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely find a way to get rid of him. Don't worry, Zixin!"

"OK!"

After saying a good word, Zhu Zixin yawned long afterward, she was too sleepy.

"Since you are tired, go back and rest."

Seeing her like this, Nangong Xi couldn't help but say.

"Okay, Prince, you should go to bed early too!"

Zhu Zixin turned around to leave as he spoke, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked:

"Where do I sleep?"

So she hasn't arranged a room yet?Only then did Nan Gongxi realize her carelessness, and hurriedly asked: "I'm afraid Xiaoyi doesn't have a place to sleep yet? I wonder where she is now? And Zhu Ziyi, I wonder if she has returned to the Hou Mansion."

"My elder brother has already gone back, and Xiaoyi is still waiting in the front hall!"

Zhu Zixin's eyelids were already clenched while talking.

"Then sit here and rest for a while, I'll send someone to prepare a room for you, and it will be ready soon."

After Nangongxi finished speaking, she hurriedly raised her voice, "Come here, clean up a room for Miss Zhu and Miss Xiaoyi."

"Yes."

There was a sound outside the door.At this time, two servants brought a large wooden barrel to the door, and were about to speak, when Nan Gongxi found that Zhu Zixin had fallen asleep sitting on a chair.

He hissed, and ordered the two men to gently lift the wooden barrel behind the screen. At this time, a few more maids came in and filled the wooden barrel with hot water. Nan Gongxi waved his hand and ordered them Quietly left.

Only Nangongxi and Zhu Zixin were left in the room. Seeing that Zhu Zixin was fast asleep, Nangongxi couldn't bear to wake her up, so she hid behind the screen and began to take off her clothes...
