Chapter 737

Royal Palace, Yongyan Palace.

In the study, Nangong Yang, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was sitting at the table, reading letters from the border.

Li Gui lowered his head and stood aside to wait.

The room was quiet, except for the slight sound of sending letters.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, reporting respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yang immediately put away the letter, stood up, and went out to greet her in person. At the same time, he said, "Go to Yaohua Palace and invite the eldest princess here, saying that I have something to discuss with her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The footsteps outside the door left in a hurry.

Soon, a sound of footsteps came in from outside.

Li Gui bowed and opened the door.

Nangong Yang stood at the door, looking out with a smile on his face. When he saw the Queen Mother coming in, he quickly went up to help her and said: "Mother, it's freezing cold here. If you need anything, just send someone over to give instructions, or let the child go. That's it, why bother coming here in person? If you get cold, I'll feel very guilty."

The Queen Mother followed him into the room, with a complicated expression on her face, and said: "The date has been chosen. The sixth day of the first lunar month, three days later, will be an auspicious day. The Ministry of Rites and other departments are already making preparations. For other things, you can also Don't worry."

With a smile on his face, Nangong Yang helped her sit down on the couch and said, "Is the time so busy? I'm afraid Sister Huang is not ready yet, right?"

The Queen Mother gave him a complicated look and said, "If this is resolved earlier, everyone will be relieved. As for Huo Yue, I haven't informed her yet, I will go there later."

Nangong Yang said with a smile: "Mom, you don't have to make another trip. The child has already been invited. It just so happens that the child has something that he wants to tell the imperial sister."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

Nangong Yang squatted down next to her, held her legs for her, and said with a smile, "Mother, you don't have to worry about such a small thing."

The Queen Mother stared at him for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you arrested the former commander of the Imperial Guards and are planning to behead him outside the Meridian Gate three days later?"

Nangong Yang sighed and said, "I don't think so either. It's just that he betrayed my trust and must set an example. Otherwise, in the future, the servants will bully my child and act dishonestly."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "How could it be such a coincidence that it happens to be the day when your imperial sister is getting married? Can't it be postponed for a few days?"

Nangong Yang lowered his head and squeezed her legs carefully. He was silent for a moment and said, "Mother, I'll tell you the truth, I don't want to kill him. It's just that the Qin family went too far, and I can say that I'm like a bastard to them." I love you so much and trust me so much, but what happened? You saw what happened in the hall that day. The son-in-law of the Qin family slapped me hard in the face in front of the foreign guests!"

The Queen Mother looked at him and said, "Did they run away?"

Nangong Yang smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't even say punish him, and he just ran away with his whole family. If he didn't run away, I would just reprimand him a few words at most, but I wouldn't really punish him. I have always cherished talents. , how could you do it for such a small thing? When he ran away, people thought that I was too narrow-minded to tolerate him. The Qin family was a meritorious family and took the initiative to resign. What would the other meritorious families think if the whole family left? I thought it was me, hey..."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "So what do you want to do?"

Before Nangong Yang could answer, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."

Nangong Yang stood up immediately and said, "Please come in, Sister Huang."

After that, he went over and opened the door in person and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Nangong Huoyue wore a fiery red dress and walked in from the door. When she was about to talk to him, she saw that the Queen Mother was also in the study, so she ignored him and went in to say hello.

The Queen Mother stood up, came to her, took her hand affectionately and said, "Huoyue, the date has been set. It's the sixth day of the first lunar month. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Nangong Huoyue frowned slightly and said nothing.

The Queen Mother caressed Mo Mo's little hand and said warmly: "If you feel that the time is too late, the Queen Mother will discuss it with them and ask them to find another day later. Anyway, it is up to you to decide which day you want. Get married, that day."

Nangong Huoyue looked at her and said calmly: "How about we get married in two years?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on the Queen Mother's face suddenly froze and said: "Huo Yue, since the marriage has been decided and it is the person of your own choice, it is better to get it done earlier."

Nangong Huoyue looked at her indifferently and said, "Then what's the point of asking my opinion? You have the final say on when to get married."

The Queen Mother fell silent.

Nangong Yang came over and said with a smile: "Sister Huang, the date was discussed by the uncles and Qin Tianjian together. It is a very auspicious day. The sooner the emperor gets married, the mother will have one less day to worry about, and the spirit of the father and emperor in heaven will also Feeling reassured and relieved.”

Nangong Huoyue said no more.

The room was quiet for a while.

Nangong Yang sighed and said, "Sister Huang, I didn't ask you to come here today just to tell you about this matter. There is one more thing that I may need Sister Huang's help with."

Nangong Huoyue looked at him calmly and did not ask.

Nangong Yang said bitterly: "Sister Huang, you should also know that Qin Lang, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards, was arrested by me. I have always trusted him and loved him very much. I directly took him out of the academy and let him He was the commander of the Jinyi Guards, which gave him a lot of power, but he betrayed my trust. He not only deceived me, but also killed the people of Zijin Temple, and directly betrayed me... Hey, my heart is really deep. Very sad."

Nangong Huoyue said calmly: "What do you want me to do for you? Kill him with your own hands?"

Nangong Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Huang is joking. Even if I really want to kill him, how can I let Sister Huang do it? What's more, that day is the day when Sister Huang gets married. Even if I hate him again, there is no way I can let Sister Huang get dirty." Hands on."

After a pause, he sighed again and said seriously: "Sister Huang, I don't really want to kill him. I just want Luo Qing and the Qin family to come back, serve the country well, share my worries, and at the same time eliminate Other people’s doubts. Ever since their family left that day, I have heard a lot of gossip, saying that I am intolerant of others, saying that I am evil and narrow-minded."

"Hey... I am really wronged. I have never planned to do anything to them. On the contrary, I have always thought about using the Qin family. Needless to say, Qin Lang, I love him very much. The Jin Yiwei command I gave it to him and planned to let him practice for a few years and then let him enter the field. He will serve in the army. There is also Luo Qing. He is very talented. Both I and the Queen Mother see it. I allow him to enter the palace at will and study with me. When spring comes, with his talent, he will definitely be admitted as a Jinshi. I will also Prepare to favor him during the palace examination and let him be the number one scholar..."

"Who knew they would treat me like this..."

"I sent people to search for them for a long time, but couldn't find them. Instead, many of my men died... But I still don't blame them. I just hope they can come back safely..."

Having said this, he paused and said sincerely: "Sister Huang, you have a good relationship with the Qin family, and you are both a teacher and a friend of Luo Qing. Do you know where they are now?"

Without waiting for Nangong Huoyue's answer, he added: "It doesn't matter if I don't know. Sister Huang can help me look for it, and by the way, help me spread the news, tell Luo Qing, and let him come back. As long as he is willing to come back, I will treat the previous As for his elder brother Qin Lang, I will let him go."

Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, and said with a cold face: "I don't know where they are."

Nangong Yang nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, just ask the emperor to help me spread the news. In three days, it will be the day of the emperor's wedding. I hope Luo Qing can come back and attend the wedding with me. For Blessings from the royal sister."

Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "What if he doesn't come back?"

Nangong Yang sighed and said, "Then I have no choice. Qin Lang betrayed me, so I can only bear the pain and kill him as a warning to others."

Nangong Huoyue said: "Does it have to be that day?"

Nangong Yang smiled bitterly and said: "My decree has been made and cannot be changed. But don't worry, Sister Huang, I will have someone clean it up when the time comes. It will not affect Sister Huang's marriage."

Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes, turned around and left without saying another word.

The Queen Mother stood aside, silent.

After the door closed and the footsteps outside gradually faded away, the Queen Mother said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, why is this necessary? She has already compromised and given in, so let her get married properly, okay?"

With a faint smile on his face, Nangong Yang said: "Mother, the emperor has a strong will and will not care about such a trivial matter."

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "Luo Qing is the person she values ​​the most. What you do is to make her marriage life difficult. She is your royal sister, and she has worked hard to help you for so many years. Even if Occasionally she will have disputes with you, but it is for the sake of the country. That day is a major event in her life, and it may only happen once in her life, so you can't..."

"Mother."

Nangong Yang interrupted her, still with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "I have grown up now and can distinguish right from wrong. There are some things that I want to make my own decision. As for this matter, I have already decided "Mother, there's no need to say anything more. It's getting late, it's cold outside, so mother, you'd better go back and rest."

The Queen Mother glanced at his face, said nothing more, sighed, and turned to leave.

Changsun Wan'er appeared at the door, helped her out and went out.

When the footsteps outside disappeared, a gnashing voice suddenly came from the study: "I just want to disgust her! I just want to make those who betray me worse than death!"

Nangong Huoyue returned to the palace and stood in front of the study window for a long time. Then she returned to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and felt out of body.

at the same time.

In a certain house by the Yunwu River, a spirit flew up to the roof.
