Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Nangong Lizhu's face was as pale as paper, and even under the red candlelight, she could not see a little blood. She looked at me with a tremor, after a while, gritted her teeth: "No, it won't be like this!"

"..."

"He won't do this!"

"..."

"He, he just wants power, he just wants to protect himself. He won't do this!"

I frowned slightly.

At this time, it is a waste of time to go around the circle again. The "he" in Nangong Lizhu's mouth is not someone else. It is exactly what I suspect-her father, Nangong Jinhong!

But in fact, I ’m not sure. I just told Chang Qing that way. Before I saw the other party, I could n’t determine who was so brave enough to besiege the Imperial City, attack the Xuanwu Gate, and do such a mess. .

Is it Nangong Jinhong?

Although his performance has not been as strong as Shen Gongzhen at the beginning, so publicity, and even courteous, he can be seen by the discerning person. For him in the chapel that day, the right to assist government Almost at your fingertips, but blocked by Pei Ji's sudden appearance at the last moment, for any one, this is not a bad breath that can be easily swallowed.

The question is, can this bad breath make him commit crimes and destroy the Nine Clans like this?

I know his identity very well. He is already a veteran in the dynasty, and is also the emperor's husband-in-law. His daughter has always been favored by Pei Yuanzhang, even though he had a relationship with the emperor or the New Deal during this period. Contradictions, but this may not allow a court elder to go completely to the point of confrontation with the emperor and break.

At least in my opinion, not sure.

Opposition and breakup are no better to him than to obey the emperor.

It is often said that why Jinyihua suits chase wild dogs, he has become an extreme minister, Nangong Lizhu has not completely lost his favor, and it is not cost-effective for ordinary people to commit chaos with such a life-- Even if he succeeds, he will bear the crusade of the whole world and the stigma of betraying the Lord. Moreover, Nangong Lizhu has no children and Nangong Jinhong has no other nephews. How to arrange after the usurpation is a big problem for them Or if there is a hidden danger; if it fails, then it is not said that the family will destroy the nine families, even if Nangong Lizhu is favored, she will not be spared.

Nangong Jinhong cannot ignore this.

Nangong Lizhu said that he just wanted power, used power to protect himself, and wanted to seize the interests in his hands under the continuous weakening of Pei Yuanzhang. This is a completely different way from committing chaos.

Will Nangong Jinhong get a hot head and go to the latter?

I feel a bit confused.

But no matter how confused, the biggest possibility I can doubt at this moment is only him.

Secondly ...

Nangong Lizhu was even more flustered than me. She was holding the bed to stand up, but her legs and legs were numb because of the long kneeling relationship. As soon as she got up, she fell back and made her look very embarrassed. She climbed **** the edge of the bed with both hands, forcing herself to stop paralyzing, and then looked up at me: "It won't be his!"

I looked at her: "Are you sure?"

"..."

When I said this, she was a little hesitant, and her eyes became flustered. She looked at me and looked at Pei Yuanzhang behind her, saying incoherently: "I, I know that he is dissatisfied with the emperor ... although he Never said it, but I can feel ... not just power, not just interest ... I know he has some ideas ... "

"..."

"But, he won't do it, he won't! And--"

In the end, the tremors in her voice became more and more obvious: "I'm still in the palace!"

I looked at her and was speechless for a moment.

Maybe in my past memories, she is all high above her, like an extremely beautiful fairy standing on the cloud, but this time she entered the palace, she completely lost the nobleness and pride of the past, even now, looking at her Sitting on my knees by the bed, struggling to say those words, I had the illusion of seeing her fall into a quagmire.

Inexplicably unbearable, I looked away and said calmly, "If you can completely trust your father, then I can completely trust you."

She froze slightly: "What do you mean?"

I looked back at her and said, "If it's really not your father, then we'll stay in Yihua Palace."

She was taken aback: "Why?"

I said calmly: "Not many people know that the emperor is in Yihua Palace. It is not a moment and a half to find Yihua Palace in such a large harem; from the moment I lived in, he It has been guarded here secretly. "

"..."

"Here is the third safest place in the entire imperial city."

Nangong Lizhu is obviously a bit confused. I know she subconsciously wanted to ask where the first two places are safe, but before she asked, I went on to say, "So if it's really not your father, Lord Nangong made it. This matter, then we can wait here. As long as the Guards are capable, they will not find Yihua Palace so easily. "

"..." She looked at me with a stunned look: "Aren't you planning to escape?"

"Escape? Where to escape?"

"..."

"Dare to come in from the Xuanwumen to prove that Wumen has been controlled, then," I said, and looked at the silent man who had been lying on the bed behind her, "with him, you can escape Where to go?"

Nangong Lizhu turned his head, looked at Pei Yuanzhang, and took a deep breath.

"I'll stay with him no matter what."

"..."

"Protect him."

"..."

"Even if there is only one last breath."

"..."

Listening to her trembling voice, but firmly saying this sentence, I was silent for a moment, and said gently, "That's fine."

After that, I said nothing, turned around and went out.

The guard in the yard immediately came over and looked at me nervously: "Miss Yan, the emperor is still inside."

I nodded. "Well."

"Those outside-we want to protect the emperor."

"I know."

"but--"

I turned to look at him and interrupted his words: "Now it's so messy outside, do you know who the incoming person is? How many of them? What's the purpose? Without all this being clear, any If you act lightly, you may be killed, as well as the emperor. "

The man's breath was choked.

"Stay here, don't open the palace door casually until I allow it, just protect him."

The guard's expression was complicated. He was restless, but looking at me calmly, after all, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and then retreated.

|

Outside, of course, there is chaos, but in Yihua Palace, this small courtyard is extremely quiet.

Maybe, it's not really quiet, but at this moment, I can't hear outside sounds.

My heartbeat is already a tumultuous world.

However, it's not just mine. The person in the room is also the same. Although I can't see her, I can hear her tight breath, feel her restlessness, and even the anxious mood has covered the whole house.

Although only a short moment has passed, this moment is a torment for everyone here.

Listening to the increasingly frightening voices coming from the layers of the palace wall, even the guards at the door couldn't hold back. One of them came to me and asked quietly: "Ms. Yan, we really stay here. ?"

I also listened to the voice outside and said, "Wait a second."

"Wait? What are you waiting for?"

"Wait--"

Before I finished speaking, I heard footsteps coming out of the room behind me.

We all turned around, and saw Nangong Lizhu striding heavily, one hand still holding the door frame, and looked at me pale.

I have no doubt that this is the first time she has stepped out of the door in these days.

The guard frowned as soon as she saw her: "Mother-in-law?"

She seemed as if she hadn't heard or seen anyone else. Her face was pale, she walked down and walked in front of me, then took a deep breath: "I think ... we still can't stay here Here."

I looked at her: "Why?"

"Because, because here ..."

"Don't you believe that Lord Nangong would not do this?"

The guard next to him, as well as the eunuchs and maids standing in the corner waiting to arrange, were all frightened and took a breath.

Nangong Lizhu's face was even paler. She looked around in a hurry, then turned to me: "I, I don't believe him, I just think that we will not be safe if we stay here."

"..."

"If those people's purpose is really the emperor, then they will definitely find it here!"

I still looked at her calmly: "If they can find here, then we can find them wherever we go."

"But it's better than sitting here waiting to die!"

"It may not be waiting for you. Maybe it is Gucheng staying dead?"

"No, this won't work!"

She became more flustered, or had become a little frantic, and even grabbed my arm and snarled hard: "We can't stay here, they must be bad for the emperor!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"..."

"Who is against the emperor?"

"..."

"Who's not good for the emperor, can you find this Yihua Palace?"

"..."

"You want to protect Your Majesty with your last breath. Who will keep your last breath?"

She was pressed by me step by step, she couldn't even breathe, and finally collapsed when she couldn't suppress it: "My father! My father! If it's him, we must not hide here!" "

As soon as I heard this sentence, I was suddenly taken away by the hand that gripped my neck and took a deep breath.

"You finally said it."

When she said that, she seemed stunned, tears dripping from her eyes unconsciously, and she looked at me in a hurry.

I looked at her and said calmly, "If you don't even believe him, then I can doubt him."

"..."

"After all, you have to make a choice."

After saying this, there was a sudden knock on the door.

There was chaos around, almost every sound, but the knock on the door clearly surprised everyone around, especially the guards, all turned to look at me.

The guard asked: "Miss Yan, that's--"

I turned to look at the door and said, "Open the door."
