In the twinkling of an eye, Nangong LAN walked towards the coveted position in a dragon robe.
This short journey took him more than twenty years.
Nangong Yan and his colleagues mingled among the officials and watched the scene quietly.
Ji Qingxue leaned close to his ear and whispered, "do you think your father will really let him ascend the throne and be the emperor?"
Nangong Yan answered very simply, No.
Nangong Yan knows more about his father emperor. He is very overbearing, arbitrary and authoritarian.
I believe any emperor likes to hold his power firmly in his hand. It's no use forcing him when he doesn't want to hand over his power.
"That's why you think it's strange that your father suddenly wrote the abdication edict at this time, isn't it?"
Nangong Yan nodded. This was indeed what he suspected, but his intuition told him what his father was planning behind his back.
Nangong Yan leaned over and said to Ji Qingxue, "wait, if something happens, you remember to stay with me."
Ji Qingxue smiled. Are you afraid I'm lost?
"How can I? I'm afraid I can't fight. I need the princess's protection."
Nangong Yan talks and laughs here. There are some sorrows and hardships over Nangong Qi.
Bai Ranqing doesn't know where she heard about Ji Qingxue's arrest to Dali temple. She asked Nangong Qi if she knew it long ago. Facing her questions, Nangong Qi can't hide it from her anymore, so she had to admit it.
It's the so-called leniency for confession and wearing at the bottom of the prison, so Bai Ranqing is now Qi Qi Qi with Nangong.
"Don't be angry. I couldn't help it at that time. I just didn't want you to act impulsively without telling you! Besides, isn't there five younger brothers over there?"
Nangong Qi carefully explained, but Bai Ranqing always kept a face and refused to talk to him.
The throne ceremony began. Nangong LAN stood on the hall, wearing a golden crown and a python colored Dragon Robe. He looked noble and pressing.
At the bottom are civil and military officials. Nangong LAN just took a step forward. When she was about to speak, a dozen people in black suddenly fell from the sky and began to kill the four sides.
The scene suddenly became a pot of porridge. Nangong Lan was furious. When did these people make trouble? It's just today.
"Who are you? How dare you disturb my accession ceremony? Someone will take them all!" Nangong LAN shouted. Today is a day he has been looking forward to for more than 20 years, and there must be nothing wrong with it.
For a moment, all civil and military officials fled and scattered. Nangong Yan was very calm and said to Ji Qingxue, "my king has already said that? Today's ceremony of accession to the throne is uncertain what will happen."
Suddenly, an officer and soldier was stabbed by the man in black and kicked him to nangongyan. Nangongyan subconsciously caught him, and then put his head out from behind the guard: "I said, can you grow your eyes? Don't you see that the king is talking to the princess?"
Nangong Yan's answer was the long sword from the man in black. Nangong Yan shook his head helplessly. It seems that the killer has a bad temper.
Nangong Yan turned to Ji Qingxue and said, "wait here for a moment. I'll go back."
Ji Qingxue nodded obediently. The officers and soldiers surrounded the people in black, but they still couldn't stop the weapons in their hands.
Bai Ranqing leaned over and Ji Qingxue asked her strangely, "where's the fourth brother?"
Bai ran Qing nuozui in a certain direction: "isn't it there?"
Because someone is in a bad mood, he has a particularly fierce fight today.
Seeing someone sneaking from Nangong Qi's back, Bai Ranqing quickly took out the whip from his waist and gave him a whip. The man in black cried out in pain. Nangong Qi looked back at Bai Ranqing with some teasing.
Bai Ranqing immediately felt a little embarrassed and muttered, "what are you looking at?"
For a moment, everyone fell into a scuffle. Nangong Yan and Nangong Qi seemed to be arresting assassins, but they were actually lazy. Anyway, it's none of their business. It's none of their own business. Hang high and pretend.
Moon Palace.
Nangong Xuan stood in front of the window and heard the footsteps of someone coming in. Without looking back, he said, "it's beginning, isn't it?"
He had heard the sound of scuffle. Duke Li replied, "emperor, they have begun, but does the emperor really intend to do so?"
The people in black who appeared on Nangong Lan's ceremony were Nangong Xuan's eagle eye dark guards. They were ordered to disturb Nangong Lan's ceremony of becoming king.
"Even if he is allowed to sit in this position, he may not be able to sit." Nangong Qi said slowly.
On that day, he gave Nangong LAN an edict to abdicate, but because he had another plan.
As early as when he was attacked when hunting in Qiushan, he doubted whether there would be the assassin's accomplices in the palace. Since their goal was themselves, Nangong Xuan was falsely imprisoned by taking advantage of Nangong Lan's persecution of the palace. If they really wanted to kill themselves, they would not miss this opportunity.
"You go down first. I've ordered them to just disturb the throne ceremony and won't take his life for the time being."
Nangong Xuan sat in the bright moon hall, and people in black had mixed in. Nangong Xuan slowly said, "you did come."
One of them said, "Nangong Xuan, you have done so many things that are not allowed by nature. Today is your death."
Nangong Xuan just smiled: "there are countless people who want to kill me in the world. Just come and take my life if you want me."
Two blacks attacked Nangong Xuan, but Nangong Xuan easily avoided. He said, "when did the Wuling family become so timid? Do you have to be masked to kill someone?"
"Shut up, Nangong Xuan. You are the least qualified to mention the Wuling clan."
When Nangong Xuan mentioned the Wuling clan, the man in black seemed very angry. His attack was even heavier and the move was fatal. If Nangong Xuan didn't hide in time, he might have died!
When the two sides were fighting, Nangong Yan and Ji Qingxue came, and they hid outside the hall. Ji Qingxue originally wanted to go in, but Nangong Yan grabbed her: "let's see the situation outside first."
Ji Qing looked at the martial arts moves of one of them, which clearly came from the Wuling family. While dodging, Nangong Xuan pulled down the mask of a man in black.
"Grandma!" Ji Qingxue exclaimed.
It's Xu Yinluo.
Nangong Xuan threw away his mask and looked coldly at Xu Yinluo: "I'm not imprisoned. You're disappointed."
Xu Yinluo said fiercely, "yes, I wish I could eat your bones and drink your blood."
"I never seem to have seen you."
"What about Chu Yushang and Hua minrou?" Xu Yinluo's mouth seemed to sneer, "They don't know each other, do they? Nangong Xuan, you are cruel enough to poison your own wife. I'm afraid only you can do things inferior to animals. Don't think that no one knows what happened in those years. When I kill you, I will disclose your true face to the world and let everyone see what kind of person the king they admire is."
Sure enough, he is a member of the Wuling family.
Nangong Xuan frowned: "I said I didn't poison Yushang."
Xu Yinluo roared angrily, "even if you didn't do it, dare you tell me that their death has nothing to do with you? If you weren't fascinated by greed, how could you kill them, and also implicate your son. There was cold poison in his body from birth, and he survived in pain for more than 20 years."
Nangong Yan's hands trembled. The pain brought by cold poison could not be expressed in words, but before he knew the truth, he never thought that these pain were given by his father.
Ji Qingxue held his hand with some heartache. Nangong Yan smiled at her and said, I'm fine. These have passed.
Nangong Xuan sighed a long sigh: "so did you sneak into the palace today to avenge them?"
"Of course. Nangong Xuan has to pay for what you did that year."
Before saying a few words, they fought again. Ji Qingxue was a little worried: "if it goes on like this, mother-in-law, something will happen to them. Your father and Emperor had planned this for a long time, just to set up a game to lead them out. We have to think of a way."
Nangong Yan made a silent movement, and then pointed to them not far away. Ji Qingxue looked along his line of sight, and several people in black had already been there.
"It's the eagle eye dark guard." Ji Qingxue scolded Nangong Xuan. He was really an old fox. He calculated everything and waited for his mother-in-law to take the bait.
Nangong Yan whispered, "let's go quietly and solve these people first."
Ji Qingxue nodded and solved them first. If anything happens later, her mother-in-law will have less obstacles when they leave.
