Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 267 Release the Prince
Inside the house, Nangong Yao stood with his hands behind his back, like a statue.It seems to have been waiting for a long time.

Nan Gongxi stepped forward, bowed down and said:
"My son pays respects to Father Emperor."

Chapter 260 Seven

"Free gift!"

Nangong Yao raised his hand, said, and turned around.

"Thank you, Father!"

Nangong Xi said.

"I called you here to tell you that the King of Lu State hopes to marry the two countries, and the Princess of Lu State is also interested in you. For the long-term consideration of the two countries, I have already agreed!"

"..."

Hearing this, Nangong Xi was stunned. He was stunned for a moment before saying:
"Father, my son and Zixin have a long-standing marriage contract, how can we marry Princess Nalu?"

"As for Zhu Zixin, I have already agreed to the marriage proposal of Prince Lu Xiao Tiancheng. Prince, I hope you can put the overall situation first and don't talk too much."

Nangong Yao said again.

"Ah! Father, you betrothed Zixin to Xiao Tiancheng? Father, by doing this, you are not breaking the trust of the people?"

Nangong Xi couldn't believe her ears when she heard the words, so she couldn't help asking.

"Presumptuous! Break the trust of the people? For the sake of the relationship between the two countries, so what if you lose the trust of the people?"

Nangong Yao was enraged by Nangong Xi's words, and shouted.

"But, Father..."

"Prince, don't forget the murder case you are carrying on your body! If the Lord of the Lu Kingdom hadn't specified that he wanted to betroth the princess to you, you wouldn't be able to get out of prison if the case wasn't settled!"

Nangong Yao said.

After speaking, he suddenly covered his chest and gasped for breath.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Nangong Xi hurried forward, supported Nangong Yao, and asked.

"Prince, you have to remember that everything my father does is for your own good! If you agree, I can write off all the crimes you committed, and you can continue to be your prince. It’s you! But if you don’t agree, I will have no choice but to send you to prison, depose the crown prince, and choose someone else to succeed you, think about it carefully!”

As Nangong Yao said, she couldn't stand still, and with the support of Nangong Xi, she sat on a chair beside her.

"Father, son..."

"His Royal Highness, please hurry up and agree! I beg you, please hurry up and agree! Otherwise, if the emperor has something wrong, what should I do!"

At this time, Duan Derui knelt on the side and kowtowed continuously.

"I……"

Hearing this, Nangong Xi was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say. To make him agree to marry the princess, for him, killing him would be more satisfying!However, at present, his father's illness also makes him unable to turn a blind eye and speak out against him. Besides, for the sake of the relationship between the two countries, if he refuses to agree, it may cause a war. With the power of Yue Kingdom today, Not suitable for fighting at all.How should this be done!
"You don't agree, do you?"

Seeing his hesitation, Nangong Yao seemed to be getting more ill, clutching his chest, and panting more violently.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'd better let my servant find the imperial doctor!"

Duan Derui on the side was anxious and couldn't help saying.

"If the prince does not agree today, I will not pass on the imperial physician! Prince? I will ask you one last question, do you agree or not?"

"I……"

"Prince, please promise quickly! Look at the emperor, if you don't pass on the imperial physician, I'm afraid it will be bad luck! The emperor has been in poor health in recent days, but he just doesn't let the servant tell others. At this juncture, Yue There is nothing wrong with the country! Just promise it!"

Seeing that Nan Gongxi still disagreed, Duan Derui couldn't help begging again.

At this time, Nangong Xi had no way to retreat, he begged:

"Father, you can send the imperial doctor to come to diagnose and treat first, and wait for you to recover from the illness to talk about other things, okay?"

"If you don't agree, I won't teach the imperial physician!"

Nangong Yao still stubbornly said, and at this moment, his complexion is getting paler, and the frequency of breathing is getting more and more urgent. Nangong Xi naturally knows him. This is Nangong Yao's old problem, a symptom of asthma. If he doesn't pay close attention to treatment, Fearing that his life would be at stake, Nan Gongxi had no way out, so he could only say with tears in his eyes:
"My son agrees, my son promises my father!"

"..."

"Hurry up and tell the doctor!"

Duan Derui immediately ran to the door while shouting.

"Okay, since you agreed, it's none of your business here, let's go down"

Nangong Yao heard the words and said to Nangong Xi.

"But, Royal Father, I'd better stay here and take care of you!"

Nangong Xi was very worried and said.

"No need, as long as Duan Derui is here! Go quickly."

Nangong Yao said stubbornly.

"Here... the royal father, the servants are just guarding outside. If you have any orders, just let Mr. Duan know."

Nangong Xi had no choice but to get up and said.

"it is good!"

Nodding weakly, Nangong Yao said.

Nangong Xi took two steps back, but still stood there. Seeing that he still didn't leave, Nangong Yao couldn't help asking:
"Why haven't you left yet?"

"My son, wait until the imperial physician arrives before leaving!"

Nangong Xi said.

"No need, bring me the medicine you gave me last time, and I'll be fine after taking one!"

Nangong Yao said.

"Okay, okay, Erchen, let's go, let's go!"

Nangong Xi woke up after hearing the words, and said hastily.

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left the door.

At this time, all the imperial physicians had already rushed over, and after a while of diagnosis, they sent Nangong Yao back to the bedroom to take strenuous medicine and lie down.Duan Derui asked about this matter:
"Your majesty, why didn't you send someone to follow the prince, but found out that King Ji had persecuted him and told him, so that he could be prepared in his heart, and the prince should know about the national power, otherwise, you don't need to use it." Such a way to force him to submit! The old slave thought, if the crown prince knew everything, he would definitely understand your good intentions, so naturally he would not refuse. Your majesty, why are you bothering?"

"Duan Derui, you only know one thing and don't know the other. The reason why I did this is to make the prince stronger. Although he has the ability to govern the country, he is too kind. I just use this time Teach him a lesson! And..."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Nangong Yao's eyes seemed to see a far away place through Duan Derui's body. After a while, he said:
"If it wasn't for this incident, I still don't know that Ji'er is such a vicious person. In order to achieve his own selfish desires, he would not hesitate to kill so many people in the Wu family, and even falsely accuse the prince! Duan Derui, there is such a thing. My son is all due to my negligence. I didn’t guide him enough since I was a child, which caused his temperament to change! Alas! Now I’m very ill, and I don’t have a few days to live. I want to clear the way for the prince before he dies. The future of Yue Kingdom depends entirely on him!"

As Nangong Yao talked, he closed his eyes, waved his hand, and signaled Duan Derui to go out.

Hearing what the emperor said, Duan Derui had a sad face, and tears could not help falling from his eyes. He wiped it with his sleeve, turned around and walked out slowly.

After the emperor sent someone to follow the prince that day, he knew everything that happened afterwards. However, the emperor followed suit and continued to play this play with Nan Gongxun. At the beginning, he didn't understand why, but today, he Finally understood.

It turned out that the emperor did all this for the prince!The emperor's good intentions, the prince is still in the dark, Duan Derui is sad because of the emperor.Originally, his health has been getting worse and worse over the past few days, and Duan Derui saw it and was worried in his heart because he was still worrying so much about state affairs and the prince's affairs.

After walking out of the room, Nangong Xi greeted her, and hurriedly asked:
"Duan Gonggong, how is my father?"

"His Royal Highness, the emperor is not easy! Your Royal Highness, this old slave knows that some things should not be said by this old slave, but now that the emperor's health is getting worse, this old slave can't stand it! This old slave just wants His Royal Highness to understand that the emperor doesn't care. Any decision you make is for the sake of the Yue Kingdom and the future of His Highness the Crown Prince, you must remember that you will not make the Emperor angry again in the future!"

It was the first time Duan Derui said so many words to Nan Gongxi.

"Eunuch Duan, you mean, my father's illness..."

Nangong Xi asked in disbelief upon hearing the words.

"The imperial doctor said last time that the emperor's illness is beyond recovery!"

Duan Derui shook his head and sighed.

"Father!"

Hearing this, Nangong Xi took a few steps back, feeling extremely sad.

"His Royal Highness, you should go back! Listen to the old slave's advice, don't disobey the emperor again! Everything he has done is for Yue Kingdom and your future!"

After Duan Derui finished speaking, he continued to walk forward alone, his steps obviously staggering a little. Nan Gongxi stood behind him, watching him leave, feeling very sad in his heart, but when he thought that there were still many things to do Understood, he turned around and left.

Besides, Duan Derui walked to a remote place alone, where there was an old tree, he stretched out his hand to support the trunk, and tears poured down suddenly, and a person murmured:

"Your Majesty, this old slave is three years older than you. I have followed you since I was a child. I never thought that you would walk in front of this old slave. This old slave has been with you all my life. Yours is the heaven of this old slave. I can’t imagine that if you leave, what’s the point of living for this old slave! Why don’t you just go with you! Don’t worry, after you leave, this old slave will watch the crown prince ascend the throne, and then go to accompany you I don’t dare to say these words in front of you, for fear that you will be sad! The important affairs of the court and the trivial matters of the harem are enough for you to worry about. It makes you sad! But the old slave has lived to this age, but there is no one who can talk, so I can only talk to these flowers and trees here!"

Having said that, Duan Derui wiped away his tears again, and said:

"After finishing talking, the old slave feels much better. Your Majesty, the old slave should go and guard you."

After finishing speaking, Duan Derui wiped away the tears on his face, stood up straight, straightened the hat on his head, and just now went to the emperor's bedroom with a serious face, met a few little eunuchs along the way, saw him nodding and bowing, completely No one noticed his strangeness.

"What, the queen has been thrown into limbo?"
