Chapter 49
"You... what are you doing for food? You actually let the imperial concubine go to find the queen? Isn't this what it is? If something happened to her, is this king going to ask you?" Nangong Xunqi

Pointing at the maid and scolding.

"King Ji, what is your Majesty going to do, how can we as slaves stop it? Please punish His Royal Highness Ji Wang!"

As the maid spoke, her voice began to choke, she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"Ugh!"

How could Nan Gongxun still care about punishing them? He sighed, turned around hastily, and headed towards Chiyang Palace.

Nan Gongxun took big strides, just halfway on the road, he saw a woman in a maroon dress stumbling towards this side, looking carefully, who is it if it's not his mother Ying Guifei?Hastily went forward and shouted: "Mother Concubine, what's wrong with you?"

"Xun'er, I blame the concubine mother for being bad. The concubine mother was too careless to fall into that woman's tricks. The concubine mother who was murdered is now imprisoned in the Scorching Sun Palace. Even your father and emperor can't see her face. But you are fighting! The mother concubine is really useless, so I had to ask the queen, but the queen..."

Concubine Ying had a soft nail on the empress, she was naturally upset, and because she was worried about Nan Gongxun, she couldn't help but feel extremely miserable. On the way back from Chiyang Palace, she was in a trance, staggering and stumbling all the way , at this moment, seeing his son, it seemed that the sadness in his stomach finally had an outlet, so he threw himself into Nan Gongxun's arms and cried.

"Concubine Mu, you are confused! Why are you begging her? Instead, let her see our joke!"

Nan Gongxun couldn't help complaining after listening to his mother's concubine's words.

"Mother Concubine doesn't want to ask her, but Mother Concubine is really desperate! I heard that she took away many of your people in the court, and now your father is going to send you to fight again. Mother Concubine feels in her heart that all this must be She was the one who got in the way, so...so...that's why I begged her."

"Concubine Mu, you are so confused! You are in the same situation as Empress Li, and you are so clever, how could you be so stupid this time and go to beg her? She is already doing well, so how can you help me!"

After hearing what his mother and concubine said, Nan Gongxun couldn't help shaking his head and said helplessly.

As he spoke, he supported Concubine Ying and walked all the way to the Scorching Sun Palace.

"You know what the concubine mother is talking about, but your father refused to see the concubine mother, so the concubine mother had no choice but to make a bad plan. After all, the Queen Li has been fighting with the concubine mother for so many years, just for the sake of favor and the position of the crown prince. This time, the mother concubine was framed by her, and you were pushed out here by the crown prince. This is the result of our fight with her before. I think that she framed our mother and son in this way is just to keep her queen position and Nan Gongxi's crown prince. As long as we promise not to fight for her, she might agree to let you go."

Concubine Ying wiped her tears while walking.

"Hey! Concubine Mu is confused, even if she is wrong, the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to turn back!"

Nan Gongxun shook his head slightly, and then said: "Did the concubine forget how empress Li is? If she wants to deal with us, she will definitely kill us. If you give in now, she will only torture you and suppress you even more abnormally. Until we get rid of our mother and child, she can sit back and relax. Now, it is no longer a problem that can be solved by giving up."

After finishing speaking, Nan Gongxun sneered.Then, he looked at the vast sky, there were a few dark clouds in the light gray sky at the moment, his eyes were greedy, hot, fierce, and determined...

When he lowered his head again, he looked at his mother and concubine, and said in a harsh voice, "Besides, this great river and mountain should have been given to someone as talented and strategic as Erchen, so Nangongxi is not worthy!"

Seeing his expression, Concubine Ying hesitated to speak, but finally she became ruthless and said: "Since this is the case, Concubine Mother has nothing to say now."

After thinking for a while, Concubine Ying sighed helplessly and said again: "Then what should we do now? Going to the border to fight a war is a matter of a narrow escape. Now the concubine finally understands that as long as you are safe and sound, the concubine would rather Don't want anything! Xun'er, tell me, what should mother and concubine do, so that your father and emperor can take back his life and you can be safe and sound?"

Speaking of this, Concubine Ying stretched out her hand to touch Nan Gongxun's face, with a sad expression on her face.

"Mother and Concubine, in fact, going to fight against the barbarians is not necessarily a bad thing. If you make meritorious service, maybe the emperor will forgive your sins. It's just..."

When Nan Gongxun said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Just what?"

Ying Guifei asked eagerly.

"It's just that if I leave, the crown prince will take advantage of the situation and pull all the people around me away. If so, all the efforts I have made before will be in vain."

Nan Gongxun's voice became deep and hoarse. In fact, this was what he was most worried about.

"How about that?"

Ying Guifei asked.

"The current plan is to have someone who can stabilize the rear after I leave, so that the minister can leave with peace of mind."

Nangong Xun said.

"But where to find such a man?"

Concubine Ying rolled her eyes and asked.

"General Cai. Only he can take on this important task." Nan Gongxun said without thinking.

"General Cai?"

After reading it in a low voice, Concubine Ying lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said: "Then Cai Kangyong is a stubborn old man, he doesn't accept soft and hard things, my concubine has tried many times, but she has always been rejected by him. You and the Zhu family just want to use her to win over the Cai family's power. Now that there is something useful, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go to your unmarried fiancee? It can help you."

"mother……"

Nan Gongxun's tone was very helpless, he called mother, lowered his head, and sighed after a long while: "Alas! For some reason, her attitude towards the child has suddenly changed! Sometimes, the child even feels that she is no longer what she used to be. Zhu Zixin."

"So she won't help you?"

Concubine Ying asked in disbelief.

Nodding his head, Nan Gongxun looked at the road under his feet with a lonely expression.

"Hmph, who told you to ask your father to divorce you? I think it must be that the news reached her ears, and she would treat you like this."

After hearing Nan Gongxun's words, Concubine Ying couldn't help but blame Nan Gongxun again, but when it came to this, she couldn't help but said again: "But, after all, she will still be Princess Ji in the future, if she refuses to help you, is there something else? Is it going to work?"

"My son heard that the queen summoned her."

Nan Gongxun looked a little lonely, and said in a low voice.

"What? You mean...could it be that the queen..."

After hearing this, Concubine Ying looked at Nan Gongxun in astonishment, and said in amazement, and then her eyes rolled, and she immediately lost her footing.

"Could it be that she, she also has the idea of ​​General Cai? Wang Er, what should I do?"

In a panic, Concubine Ying grabbed Nan Gongxun's arm and asked.

"For the current plan, we can only find another way." Nan Gongxun continued to walk forward, his voice was a little more lonely, but after saying that, he said again: "Zhu Zixin's road won't work, we just have to I can find Zhu Jing, I believe he can help, even if he is not willing to help, only his power, willing to stand on the side of the second minister, is no small matter, but..."

Turning around, Nangong Xun felt puzzled when he glanced at Concubine Ying who was following behind him, "It's just that Zhu Jing is not a good person to get along with. There is a chance right now, but I really can't get that thing."

After finishing speaking, Nan Gongxun told what he had heard about the poisoning of the Second Miss of the Hou Mansion.Concubine Ying's face showed a gleam of joy when she heard this, but she felt embarrassed again just for a moment, she rolled her eyes a few times before asking: "Since this antidote is so difficult to get, I'm afraid it won't work!"

"My son has already sent people to look around. As long as there is a slight chance, my son will not miss it. Three days later, my son will go to the border to fight. If I lose this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn around in the future."

Nan Gongxun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of ruthlessness and determination in his expression.

While talking, Scorching Sun Palace has already arrived.Nan Gongxun sent Concubine Ying to the door, saluted Concubine Ying and said, "Mother and Concubine, please take care, I will come to see you tomorrow."

"Go."

Concubine Ying's voice was a little tired, she waved her hand, turned around and walked into the Scorching Sun Palace.

Nan Gongxun turned around and walked outside the palace...

Back at Prince Ji's mansion, Nan Gongxun felt depressed, so he sat alone at the table and drank wine.

After a while, the guard's voice sounded outside the door.

"Reporting to King Ji, the third lady of the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang is asking to see you."

"Miss San? What is she here for?"

Nan Gongxun was puzzled.He bowed his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and then raised his voice, "Please."

After a while, I saw a girl in green clothes walking in from the door. The girl was neatly dressed, her hair was combed meticulously, and there was a hint of a smile on her soft face, but there was a heroic spirit hidden between her brows. Zhong's eyes were a little wandering and frivolous, which displeased Nan Gongxun a little.At this moment, with a peaceful smile on her face, she walked towards Nan Gongxun step by step in small steps. When she was five steps away from him, the girl knelt down and said politely, "Greetings to King Ji."

The third lady of Hou Mansion?
In Nan Gongxun's memory, the third lady seemed to be a tomboy, she had never walked the road as well as today, but looked crazy when she bumped and jumped, originally because of her young age, he had never looked straight at her After observing her, when I saw her today, I found that she was very different from the past, and I couldn't help feeling more doubts in my heart.

"Third Miss, please get up."

After Nan Gongxun finished speaking politely, after seeing Zhu Zichan standing up, he asked again, "I don't know why the third lady came to see the king?"

"Reporting to His Highness King Ji, Zichan came here today to make a deal with His Highness King Ji."

As soon as Zhu Zichan stood up straight, she looked at Nan Gongxun with a pair of almond eyes, and there was a certain look in her eyes.

"Oh? What deal, let's hear it."

Hearing the word transaction, Nan Gongxun felt a little disgusted in his heart.One thing he hates most when others negotiate with him. What's more, the girl standing in front of him is just a 12-year-old girl. She dares to negotiate with him. say what.

"Heh... King Ji doesn't seem to be interested in Zichan's deal, but you'd better wait until Zichan finishes talking, and think about it again, is this deal worth it?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zichan looked at Nan Gongxun with infinite pride and show off in his eyes.

"Oh?"
