Nan Gong Lie said: "But the Beitang Clan has already postponed the wedding ceremony, royal father and I have also agreed! If you go back on your word, I'm afraid that won't be good, right? "

"If there's no way to advance the date of marriage, you must show some sincerity to the Beitang Family!"

"What kind of sincerity? The betrothal gift has already been sent over! "

"Do you think the Beitang Clan would care about a mere betrothal gift?"

"Then Prime Minister Ao, what do you mean?"

Nangong Lie was a brave warrior with a straightforward and unrestrained character, but he had never been a shrewd and scheming expert. In front of the powerful and scheming Prime Minister Ling Tian, he was basically obedient to him!

During his battle with the Second Prince, Ying Lingtian had always been his brain and plotting behind his back.

"The Beitang Clan controls one third of the armies of the Tianyue Kingdom! Beitang Ao, Beitang Mo, and Beitang Mengze were all famous generals! Beitang Ao, in particular, was a legendary existence! Even the Emperor was full of respect for him! If you can obtain the unwavering support of the Beitang Clan, no one will be a match for you! "

"Beitang Bell and I have already made an engagement, and the Beitang family has clearly expressed their support for me as the Crown Prince!"

"This is still not enough!"

Ao Leng Tian thought for a moment, then said: "At this critical moment! You must show enough sincerity! You must promise Beitang Mo that when you become the emperor, Beitang Ling will become the empress. You will forever be grateful to the Beitang Clan and will forever love and protect Beitang Ling! "We'll go tonight, we'll go right away!"

"Must we go now?"

"Yes!" He must force Beitang Mo to express his stance! He is the current head of the Beitang Clan, and his promise represents the entire Beitang Clan. "

"Good!" "Then I'll go right now!"

Nan Gong Lie stood up, straightened his clothes and said: "This matter is easy! Ling'er and I love each other from the bottom of our hearts, she will definitely support me to become the crown prince! "

Ling Ling Tian then said: "Alright! "Then leave the assassination of the fourth prince and his wife to this prime minister!"

Nan Gong Lie said: "You must do it cleanly! You must not let anyone catch on to this! "

Ling Ling Tian then said: "Don't worry! Nangong Xiu's martial arts were poor. Although her royal concubine was from the Beitang Estate, he did not know any martial arts. Both of them were excellent opponents for his! In short, the two of them will definitely not live past tomorrow! "

Ao Lingtian dressed up as a servant and sneaked out from the back door of the First Prince's residence. As for Nangong Lie, he rode his horse from the main entrance straight for the Beitang Estate!

Nangong Lie had knocked on the doors of the Northern Tang Mansion in the middle of the night, claiming that he had a very important matter!

After Beitang Mo, Beitang Mengze, Beitang Menglong, and Beitang Ling, the core members of the Beitang Clan, arrived, Nangong Lie followed the explanation given to him by Ling Tian and gave a passionate speech!

Beitang Ling was moved to the point of tears: "Nangong Lie! Rest assured, our Beitang Clan will definitely give you our full support as the crown prince! Father, Second Uncle, what do you think? "

Beitang Mo glanced at his second brother. Even though he was a parent, Beitang Cheng had always been the family's brain, and whenever there were major issues, he would first listen to Beitang Cheng's advice.

Beitang Cheng knew that this was a very serious and important question. He looked at Nangong Lie and said, "First Prince! Can you really take care of Ling'er and the Beitang Family forever, as you promised? "

Nan Gong Lie said: "I swear on my status of a royalty! If the Beitang family can help me ascend to the throne, I will never live up to Ling'er's wrong love and the Beitang family's support! As long as I, Nangong Lie, am here, the Beitang Clan will enjoy eternal wealth! "A hundred lifetimes are prosperous!"

Seeing Beitang Cheng's excited and sincere expression, he was sure that what he said was the truth. Thus, he nodded at Beitang Mo.

Beitang Mo slapped his hands on the table and shouted, "Good! Since that's the case, I, Beitang Mo, shall solemnly announce my identity as the North Pavilion! The Beitang Family will definitely do their utmost to support you in ascending to the throne! "

"Bullshit!" Who's farting here? "

Suddenly, a powerful voice fell from the sky!

Beitang Ao and Song Tianfu walked in quickly from outside!

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

"Old General Beitang!"

Everyone quickly stood up and bowed.

Beitang said angrily, "Beitang Mo! What nonsense were you saying just now? "

Beitang Mo said, "Lord Father, we were discussing how we could help the First Prince ascend the throne to become Emperor. He is soon going to be married to Ling'er. Once he becomes Emperor, the Beitang family will not only be the vanguard of the kingdom, but also the relatives of the kingdoms themselves!"

Beitang said arrogantly, "Do you think I'm a dead man? Why hasn't anyone informed this old man of such an important matter? "

Beitang Mo said, "Father, you haven't been involved in politics or family matters in twenty years!"

Beitang Ao thought for a moment and said, "Alright! You're right! You can't blame me for not informing you! "Let me ask you, who is in charge of the Beitang Clan right now?"

Beitang Mo said, "Although father has passed on the position of parent to son, the Beitang Family's big and small details are obviously up to father!"

"Good!" "Very good!"

Beitang Ao patted his son's head in praise, then said to Nangong Lie: "First Prince! Visiting the Beitang Estate late at night, this old man appreciates your sincerity! But, this old man can't help but to regretfully tell you a fact! "

Nan Gong Lie said: "Old General, please speak!"

Beitang said arrogantly, "The Beitang Clan will never support you as Crown Prince! I won't support you in fighting one soldier! "

Nangong Lie's body trembled and said, "Wh … Why? Do you object to my marriage to Ling'er? "

Beitang said arrogantly, "You two are free to fall in love, and you're of equal social status. Furthermore, the Emperor has personally decreed that we are to be married, so what is there for this old man to object about? It's both your business whether you want to marry or not. This old man is not interested! "

Nangong Lie asked doubtfully, "Then why …"

"Because our Beitang Clan wants to support the Fourth Prince as his Crown Prince!" So it's none of your business! "

Beitang Ao didn't want to be long-winded, so he said very straightforwardly.

Nangong Lie's eyes revealed surprise, and said, "About that … This... "Old General, why would you support your fourth brother as the Crown Prince?"

Beitang said proudly, "You don't need to know! However, this old man has to remind you of one thing. If one day you and the Fourth Prince oppose each other, regardless of whether you and Ling'er are married or not, you will become the enemy of the entire Beitang Clan! The enemy of the Fourth Prince is the enemy of our Beitang Clan! "

"Old General …"

"Alright!" This old man has finished speaking! If there's nothing else, you can f * * k off! "

Beitang Ao arrogantly announced Nangong Lie to be eliminated!

As for the rest of the people from the Beitang Clan, their faces were filled with shock as if they had seen a ghost!

All of them were thinking, "Why has the old gramps been especially good to Bing Ying and Nangong Xiu recently?"

Although they were both very puzzled and dissatisfied, none of them dared to make a sound!

All of them knew the personality of Beitang Ao!

The things that he had decided on, would never change!

Nangong Xiu returned to the palace with a frosty expression and immediately scolded the supervisor! The reason was that the supervisors had not sent anyone to clean up the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Nangong Xiu never cared about small matters like the Duke Mansion?

Why did he suddenly get angry over such a matter?

The servants of the manor all knew Nangong Xiu's temper. No one dared to provoke her and they could only do their best to avoid being caught red-handed by this violent and cold Prince Xie Mei!

"Soo Soo. Are you in a bad mood? "Did you suffer being served by the Emperor?"

After Bing Ying went to the ginseng garden to feed the rabbits, she entered the room and saw Nangong Xiu reading the newspaper with a face full of black clouds. She then walked over to comfort him.

"I'm fine."

"Is it really okay? Or don't you want to tell me? Has the emperor wronged you? "

"I'm used to it!"

Nangong Xiu's voice was cold as he focused on reading the newspaper.

Bing Ying took the newspaper from his hand and said, "Can you not stay there and pretend to be cool? If you don't tell me, how would I know what happened to you? "

Nangong Xiu said, "There's no need for you to know."

Bing Ying said, "No! I must know! "

Nangong Xiu said, "Then what if I don't want to say it?"

Bing Ying sneered: "Sure!" If you don't want to say it, then I'll ask the First Prince! "It's been a long time since I've seen the First Prince, and I've been missing him a little …"

Nangong Xiu said angrily, "How dare you!"

Rage?

Bing Ying did not take his words and said coldly, "You know very well if I dare or not, don't you?"

There were many methods to deal with Nangong Xiu!

The most effective method would be to provoke the First Prince!

This was because Bing Ying had discovered something very early on. He was a … Cu Tanzi!

Nangong Xiu's furious eyes finally calmed down after struggling for a long time.

"All right. "You win."

"I don't want to provoke you. I just want to know why you're unhappy."

Nangong Xiu gave in and Bing Ying also became more gentle.

"Today, royal father asked me if I ever thought of becoming emperor. He said that if I wanted to be emperor, he would grant me the title of crown prince!"

"Why?"

"He said that in order to become the crown prince, Big Brother and Second Brother went through all sorts of ruckus, ignoring the affection between brothers and even ignoring royal father, with only power in their eyes! royal father said that I was the most filial prince out of all the princes, so he decided to make me the crown prince! "

"Is he testing you?"

"How do you seem to know? And why aren't you surprised at all? " Nangong Xiu looked at Bing Ying's calm face and felt surprised.

"Very simple. This is human nature. "

Bing Ying said lightly. She was a secret service agent in her previous life, she would never trust anyone except herself! Therefore, she would always look at things with suspicion!

"Fortunately, I am not as calm as you are! I believed it! I was very touched, and at that moment I even felt very satisfied, because royal father finally paid attention to this son of mine. So I gave up the throne at that moment! Later on, royal father told me that he was only testing if I was truly serving him from the bottom of my heart! Do you think I'm too stupid? "

"You're just too kind!"

Bing Ying's heart ached.

The longer she spent with Nangong Xiu, the more she realized that this cold, emotionless and aloof Prince was only a kind and lonely man in her heart.

"Why did royal father treat me like this? "Why?"
