"Cousin, what are you doing here?"
When Nangong Yizhi came to the palace gate in a hurry, he saw Shangguan Shaochen in disguise, who was about to leave the palace.
"Step aside!"
Shangguan Shaochen's face was cold and his eyes were scarlet, as if he would never show mercy if he didn't get out of the way.
"No!"
Facing the danger of being taught a lesson, Nangong Yizhi firmly stood in front of him, "You are still needed in the overall situation of the DPRK and China, how can you put aside everything here for your own selfishness, cousin, you can't!"
Seeing that he was a little moved, Nangong Yizhi hurriedly added, "I know you are worried about Mu'er, but no news is the best news. Besides, Su Ce's intelligence cabinet has concluded that she is in the Western Region Palace. In order to get what he wants Yes, it will never hurt Mu'er, you should settle the matter in front of you first."
"I can't wait, and neither can Mu'er!"
Shangguan Shaochen's attitude was very tough, "Mu'er is pregnant and suffering from a strange disease, what if she suddenly becomes ill? What if Amu De plans to cheat on her? Also, Mu'er must I have been expecting me to show up to save her all day long, but how can I ignore her even though I know she is in danger!"
After knocking Nangong Yizhi away, Shangguan Shaochen set up his qinggong and wanted to go out. Unfortunately, Nangong Yizhi's trip was to stop him.
Regardless of whether it was his opponent or not, he pulled out the sword at his waist and stabbed at Shangguan Shaochen, "Cousin, if you insist on doing this, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Nangong Yizhi!"
Shangguan Shaochen gritted his teeth and dodged step by step, but unfortunately he was aggressively attacking him, completely forcing him to make a move.
"You are courting death!"
After all, Shangguan Shaochen couldn't bear it any longer, so he slapped him with his palm. Although he retained some strength, Nangong Yizhi was no match for him. Suddenly a person flew up behind him to hold him firmly.
"Su Ce?" Shangguan Shaochen was somewhat surprised by Su Ce's appearance, "Why, even you want to stop me?"
It stands to reason that Su Ce was no less worried than him, but what shocked him was that Su Ce didn't respond when he learned that Mu'er was in the Western Region.
"That's right, what Nangong Yizhi said just now is right. The capital needs you, and the current situation still needs you. If you leave at this time, everything we have done to Qin Ruochen these days will be in vain. So, you can't leave!" Su Ce's face was equally cold, but he was obviously much calmer than him.
Since Mu'er disappeared, they started to deal with Qin Ruochen together. Su Ce's Intelligence Pavilion even helped them find the evidence that Qin Ruochen colluded with the Western Regions. Now that Qin Ruochen was suppressed by them, there was almost no way out. But yesterday they learned that Mu'er He couldn't just see Mu'er in danger and give up on her!
"It's not you who told me that power shouldn't be more important than Mu'er! I thought you and I would make the same choice in my rescue plan." Shangguan Shaochen said this with a scrutiny.
Su Ce obviously saw what he was doing, but he was not angry, "I admit that I was worried about Ling Muer, but I figured it out, she is your woman, and you are the one who should worry about her safety! But you are more You should know how important you are to the capital! Besides, you are willing to suppress Qin Ruochen in vain?"
of course not!
What about Ke Muer?
"Five days, with my substitute in the palace and your help, there will never be any mistakes. I promise, I will bring Mu'er back as soon as possible!"
Shangguan Shaochen seemed to be speaking to them as well as himself.
"I heard that the king of the Western Regions died of illness last night. To be honest, your sneaking into the Western Regions at this time is indeed the best time to rescue Ling Muer, but have you ever thought that a substitute is a substitute after all? Success! How about this, when the king of the Western Regions ascends the throne in a few days and the Celestial Dynasty goes to congratulate him, and you go to save people, I believe that by then, Qin Ruochen will have been dealt with by you."
I have to admit that this is the best way right now.
However, there is a tradition in the Western Regions that when the king died of illness, it took half a month to be buried. On the day of the burial, the new king ascended the throne, which meant that Mu'er had to bear the danger for an extra half month.
"I can not do it!"
"Chen'er!"
A familiar voice came from behind, and when Shangguan Shaochen looked back, he saw Madam Ning Guohou standing behind him at some point.
"aunt?"
"There's no need to say anything, I heard your conversation just now." Mrs. Ning Guohou raised her hand and interrupted what he hadn't finished speaking.
When she walked up to Shangguan Shaochen, her expression was nervous and worried.
She held his hand tenderly and lovingly, as if she were her own son, "I am just like you, I am also worried about Mu'er's safety, and I can't wait to go to the Western Regions to rescue her in person! Muer is your wife. There is your flesh and blood in it, if my sister is still alive, she will definitely be anxious. But King Xian is right, right now is the critical moment, you must not leave!"
"But what about Mu'er?"
"Mu'er is extremely smart, and she has a solution to everything she encounters. I believe she can turn danger into good luck. My aunt has something she knows she shouldn't say, but I still want to say it." Mrs. Ning Guohou paused, "It's been half a month since Mu'er disappeared, so I'm really in no hurry to wait another half a month. Besides, why Amu De took Mu'er to the Western Regions, there must be his plan. Mu'er is so smart that he will try to delay the time as much as possible."
Mrs. Ning Guohou's face was full of kindness, and she softly comforted, "Besides, what the virtuous king said just now reminded me that the new king of the Western Regions is about to ascend the throne. In order to explain why I divorced and married the princess, my Celestial Dynasty will also send an important official to the Western Regions." .At that time, if you personally rescue Mu'er as a minister, I don't think Amu De has any status even if he wants to detain him. What do you think?"
Shangguan Shaochen fell into deep thought,
That's right, the virtuous king divorced Mo Junyao, which is equivalent to the Celestial Dynasty giving up its peace with the Western Regions.
Although the king of the Western Regions died of illness, the new king will definitely be furious about this matter when he ascends the throne. Although the fault is that Princess Xian colluded with foreign ministers to murder her husband, the Celestial Dynasty has to give the Western Regions a satisfactory answer no matter what.
At that time, it is justifiable to go to the Western Regions to bring people back, what can Amu De say?
"Ever since I got to know Ling Mu'er, I haven't seen her suffer or get hurt! Besides, she is blessed by God and man, isn't she?"
Su Ce's words had a hidden meaning, which might be strange to others, but Shangguan Shaochen could understand it immediately.
Su Ce was referring to Mu'er's baby.
After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly looked at Nangong Yizhi, "What is Qin Ruochen doing now?"
"Cousin, you finally regained your sanity!" Nangong Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Didn't you think of a way to deal with you? A few days ago, he lifted a rock and messed up his own foot. Not only did you fulfill your wish, but he also made him a target of public criticism. , now he will definitely do everything possible to turn over. Tell me, what do we need to do?"
"Find out all the evidence of his treason, and I will wipe out him and his followers in the shortest possible time!"
"yes!"
As he said that, Nangong Yizhi was about to leave, but he suddenly thought of something, and he retreated mysteriously.
"Cousin, now that the investigation of Mu'er and Qin Ruochen has become clear, then we in the Information Pavilion..." Nangong Yizhi listened, and asked uncertainly, "The Information Pavilion is really a good thing, and now your identity is different from the past. , in fact, as long as you give an order, it will be yours, why don't we detain the intelligence minister."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Shaochen shot over with a warning look, "What did you say?"
Know that this is a sign that he is about to lose his temper.
Nangong Yizhi hurriedly held his breath, and said with a guilty conscience, "I, I am doing this for your own good, and seek truth from facts."
"There is no reason not to return something borrowed!"
Shangguan Shaochen raised his eyes, his eyes just met Su Ce's, and he saw that he was born with an arrogance comparable to his own, but he still did not regret his decision.
"The Intelligence Pavilion is certainly a good thing, but it was established by Su Ce alone. How can I keep the things of the Su family for myself?"
Nangong Yizhi was furious, "But cultivating the Intelligence Pavilion is a capital crime. As long as we threaten him with this, he will dare not say anything!"
"That's not allowed!"
Shangguan Shaochen finally got angry, "I can take anyone's property, but it can't be Su Ce! Return the Intelligence Pavilion to him immediately, otherwise, I will never forgive you!"
Nangong Yizhi grew up with him and her, and he understands his temper very well, and his cousin has always been a man of one word, if he knew that he was doing some tricks behind his back, I'm afraid he would really kill his relatives and kill him .
"I really lost to you."
Nangong Yizhi sighed and left helplessly.
Mrs. Ning Guohou came to persuade her a few more words, and after learning that Shangguan Shaochen had really given up on temporarily rescuing Ling Muer, she was relieved, "Those who achieve great things must be able to bend and stretch, I believe Muer will understand Don't worry about what you did today, when Mu'er comes back, my aunt will apologize to her and the entire Ling family."
"Aunt is serious."
He ordered Ren Haosheng to send Madam Ning Guohou back. Shangguan Shaochen took back the sword and was about to return the same way when Su Ce suddenly appeared by his side.
"Maybe you don't know yet, but I can speak with my lips."
Su Ce's sudden opening made Shangguan Shaochen, who had finally relaxed, suddenly become nervous.
In other words, the conversation between him and Yizhi just now was not hidden from him at all?
"The virtuous king is really powerful, it's a shame to only be a 'virtuous' king." Shangguan Shaochen was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to normal. It seems that he doesn't care about his 'overhearing' at all.
"Nangong Yizhi is right. If you forcibly take back the Intelligence Pavilion, as a subject, my Su family dare not have any complaints, but why?"
"What was agreed at the beginning was just borrowing. How can there be no reason not to return the borrowed things?" Shangguan Shaochen replied very officially.
"Oh." Su Ce sneered, "You might as well say that you feel ashamed of me."
Su Ce's words were straightforward, but they somewhat meant to challenge Shangguan Shaochen's majesty.
Su Ce has helped him and Mu'er many times. It is true that he owes him, but being accused so bluntly by him means that he will accept his love for the rest of his life?
"No wonder there are rumors in the court that whoever wins Su Ce wins the world, and the virtuous king is indeed capable."
Shangguan Shaochen nodded, and his tone became relaxed from the nervousness just now, "That old bastard Lance He has disappeared without a trace since he was also accused of colluding with Qin Ruochen in the Western Regions. The position of prime minister is still vacant. I will prioritize you."
Shangguan Shaochen said as he walked, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, "Of course, there is another reason—because I am the ruler and you are the minister."
How can the monarch occupy the things of his subjects?
