Concubine, don't flirt: His Royal Highness is hiding something

"Go away, stay away from grandma!"

Nangong Yan roared angrily, and tore off her hand. The blood in her hand also stained his hand, and his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes.

"Yan'er, don't, don't blame Qiqi, as long as you and Qiqi are doing well, grandma will be at ease. I can't last long with my body, old lady."

Last month, when the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital came to see her, he told her that her body could last half a year at most, and at least one or two months.

She thought that she had lived for so many years, and her children and grandchildren had fulfilled their filial piety, so she would not disclose this news to them, so as not to cause them trouble, then she would really feel bad.

"Grandma, it was she who hurt you, yet you still speak for her..." Nangong Yan had tears welling up in his eyes, and he grabbed her hand nervously.

"Quick, hurry up and bring the imperial physician here!" Concubine Yi who was standing at the side pretended to be panic-stricken and said, and several young eunuchs rushed out.

Then, she walked up to Yu Qiqi, waved her hand with a "snap!", and threw it at Yu Qiqi's face, scolding her angrily, "Qiqi, the Empress Dowager treats you best, how can you do such a rebellious thing?" What's up?!"

"I...I didn't..." She raised her face, the clear light in her eyes was gone, only a hazy tear was left, even she didn't know what happened just now, she just had a vague feeling , a voice kept echoing in her mind, making her draw out the dagger in her sleeve and stab the Empress Dowager.

"How dare you quibble!"

Concubine Yi shouted angrily, and wanted to hit her with her hand again, but was caught by Nangong Yan who stood up.Throwing her aside, "She belongs to His Highness, and I will punish her if she wants to, it's not your turn!"

"I forgot, His Highness is still here." Concubine Yi rubbed her wrists and stood up slightly.

Nangong Yan let out a soft snort from the tip of her nose, but she didn't go to help Yu Qiqi. The most important thing right now was the Empress Dowager, her old eyes were about to close slowly.

"Grandma, please don't fall asleep."

He was flustered from the bottom of his heart, and carried her to her soft couch. The blood on her heart was already stained red, and her wrinkled face didn't seem to have a trace of blood.Only paleness remained.

"Grandma doesn't sleep, don't sleep." Seeing his panic and bewilderment, she gently coaxed him like she did when she was a child.

Nangong Yan's heart trembled, as if someone had grabbed him hard, and the pain made him speechless.

When Emperor Yan Jing arrived, the Imperial Physician had already arrived, and all the people stood aside with twisted faces, surrounded by nuns, maids and eunuchs outside.

"Mother, mother." Song Gaohuan held the hem of Yan Jingdi's clothes, and he ran towards the dying Empress Dowager on the bed, his holy face was full of panic.

"Since you were young, you have treated Yan'er badly. After I leave, you don't have to guess his filial piety to you anymore. It is not a good thing after all your father and son have separated for so many years. Your throne will always be passed on in the future. It's in his hands." She kept the tone in her heart, just waiting for him to come over and have a good talk with him.

Over the years, she has seen the hearts of their father and son become farther and farther apart. She also persuaded Yan Jingdi, but he refused to listen. Nangong Yan said that he was willing to bow his head and give in, but he would always provoke him. Angry, she tried to reconcile and reconcile the relationship between the father and son, but in the end, instead of seeing improvement, it intensified.

After all, she had to say these words before she could willingly end her breath.

"My son, I've made a note of it." At this moment, if he doesn't promise her again, he will really be an unfilial son.

"Just write it down."

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand towards him, and then she glanced at Nangong Yan and Yu Qiqi with haggard eyes, "You two come here."

The faces of both of them were very bad. When they heard what she said, they hurried towards her and didn't let her wait a moment longer.

She opened her mouth, with a pleading tone in her words, "Qiqi, Yan'er has a bad temper and often gets angry at you, causing you to suffer a lot in the East Palace. You haven't fully enlightened yet, so you have to worry about it in the future."

"Grandma, don't say that, you must get better." Yu Qiqi's eyes were red, her hands were stained with her blood, and she didn't dare to touch her again.

"Yan'er, treat Qiqi better, if you let me know that you bully her again, I will definitely teach you a lesson in my dream!"

She tried her best to put on a dignified look, but as soon as she finished speaking, she coughed violently several times, and her eyelids closed little by little.

"Grandma! Grandma!"

Nangong Yan's heart tightened, and she shouted twice, but she didn't get a response again.His hand was tightly clutching her quilt, and before he could say yes to her, she closed her eyes forever, making him feel a little bit chilly.

"What the hell does this happen?!"

Emperor Yan Jing, who had endured for a long time, finally broke out at this moment.

Yu Qiqi sobbed for a while, and then immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Plop!" Kneeling on the ground, "It was Erchen who stabbed Grandma Grandma's heart with a dagger. It was Erchen who did it. I beg Father to punish me!"

She bent over, buried her head low, completely devoid of the timid look she had just shown, and admitted all of this in one go.

"The queen mother has always treated you the best, why do you treat her like this? Is it to avenge your dead Nanzhao people?!"

Yu Qiqi is the princess of Nanzhao, after all, she is not from Yanjing.

"Father, there must be something hidden about this matter!" Nangong Yan also knelt on the ground, turned his face, and pointed his finger at Concubine Yi, who was standing aside watching the fun, "You should ask Madam Yi, what has happened during this period of time?" What did you do to Qiqi in Liangxi Palace?!"

He could see how abnormal she was.

"Oh? Your Royal Highness must have evidence of slandering people, right? If you don't even have evidence, then you can assume that it was me who did it. I won't admit it."

Concubine Yi looked at her and said these words without pain.

"On weekdays, my empress and my princess have never walked in private. Just because of the oolong that happened a while ago, you insisted on keeping her by your side. This is the best evidence." Even if she Love, it's unreasonable to suddenly dominate someone like this.

Concubine Yi's face was calm, "His Royal Highness is good at nonsense, you can go to storytelling."

"Your Majesty, she treated me well." However, at this moment, Yu Qiqi said this sentence, her voice was soft and waxy, without a trace of sullenness.

Nangong Yan turned back to look at her, with a threatening face, "Shut up! You don't know anything, so don't interrupt!"

He wished he could slap her awake, he was pleading for her, but she was looking for death.

"real."

She glanced at Concubine Yi, and said these words firmly. Now, even Nangong Yan didn't know how to speak up to defend her.

"Are you really pleading guilty?" Emperor Yan Jing's face was very gloomy. Although the Empress Dowager said she didn't blame Yu Qiqi, as the Son of Heaven, he wanted to convict her out of emotion and reason.

"I admit it, I admit it."

Yu Qiqi glanced at Concubine Yi cautiously, then nodded immediately.

"Come on! Detain him, let him out after you have had enough punishment in the torture room!" Emperor Yan Jing's eyes were full of anger.The flesh on the cheeks shook violently.

She glanced at the Empress Dowager reluctantly, her lips moved, but when she saw Concubine Yi's eyes, she lowered her head again, obediently followed the guards who came up to escort her and left.

Nangong Yan gritted her teeth, her heart was very sad, and her face was very depressed. The Empress Dowager had just passed away, and he wanted to deal with her affairs. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't save her.

As soon as Concubine Yi returned to Liangxi Palace, she couldn't hide the viciousness on her face, that black civet cat.Rubbing it under her ankle, she bent down and hugged it into her arms, "Master, she kept you by my side, but it helped me a lot."

"Congratulations, empress, for another good game of chess." Song Gaohuan came over to congratulate her in time.

Concubine Yi narrowed her eyes, "But Nangong Yan is not blind, he is thoughtful, and he can tell at a glance that Yu Qiqi is abnormal. I don't think I won all this game of chess."

"So what? Now that the empress dowager is the thorn in your side, Yu Qiqi is also in prison. Moreover, I can assure you that the empress dowager's thorn will always be planted in their hearts."

Song Gaohuan claimed to know a lot about Nangongyan's temperament, otherwise, how could he have been blown by Emperor Yan Jing's side for so many years.

"You're right about this point." He cheered up Concubine Yi, and she took the initiative to pass her hand over.

Song Gaohuan immediately stroked her hand into his. Unfortunately, at this time, a court lady ran into her bedroom in a panic. Seeing the scene in front of her, she took a step back tremblingly, "Ma'am, there is a lady who claims to be The prince of Nanzhao wants to break into the palace."

Immediately, Concubine Yi sat up and took her hand out of Song Gaohuan's. "Yan Shiqing?" She hooked the corners of her lips, a smile flickered across her face, but immediately, panic flashed again.

All in all, it's complicated.

"I don't know what his name is, but he has already come to the bedroom." Outside, there was indeed a sound of movement.

"What is he here for?"

Being disturbed for no reason, Song Gaohuan's complexion and tone were not very good.

"You go out first." Concubine Yi glanced sideways, and immediately changed her face.

Song Gaohuan stood up, and there was a sense of yin and yang in his words, "It seems that this person is very important to the empress."

Last time, when she asked him to save Yan Shiqing in the East Palace, he felt that something was wrong, but she had too many things that she had never told him, and it was inconvenient for him to ask more.

For the two of them, she used his power, he was greedy for her style, and each took what he wanted.If there is any feeling, ghosts will believe it.

He snorted softly, and left her Liangxi Palace with an unhappy face. When he came out, he happened to run into Yan Shiqing who didn't look very good-looking.

The two of them looked at each other outside the door. Yan Shiqing knew that he was the head of the Rites Supervisor, so he just nodded slightly to him and walked in.He didn't notice the strangeness in Song Gaohuan's eyes.

Song Gaohuan also took a low look, then pretended not to know anything and left.

Qing Yu stood outside, clasping his hands back and forth.

"You...why did your son come to this palace?" Concubine Yi tried her best to conceal the excitement in her heart, the civet cat in her arms had already been hugged by the maid.

"What is the relationship between Concubine Yi and my father, Yan Churan?" He paused for a moment, then retracted his eyes that were looking directly at her, "Also, why did you let Seventh Sister enter the palace to accompany you?"

He didn't do those polite things to her.

Hearing this, Concubine Yi's smile froze on her face, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you not happy that I saved you?"

"I'm just curious. You rescued me from the East Palace just because of a letter from my father." Yan Shiqing still didn't dare to raise her head, her eyes were different from ordinary people's, making people look uncomfortable.

"He didn't tell you about my friendship with your father, so there is a reason for him. I was just entrusted by him to do him a favor. You don't have to think about it."

Her face was very calm, but in her heart, she was already very excited. She really wanted to touch his face and take a serious look at his appearance.

"What about Seventh Sister? Why did you bring her into the palace?" When he entered the palace just now.So he came to Liangxi Palace, and when he arrived on the road, a maid told him that the concubine Yi had gone to the Empress Dowager's place and asked him to wait outside, but he didn't come, and waited outside the palace road.

About an hour later, he heard the sound of the imperial bell ringing on the palace road, and it struck thirteen times, which was the news that an old man had passed away in the palace.

But the only old man in the palace is the Empress Dowager.

His brows were serious, on the way to Liangxi Palace, Qing Yu's eyes were sharp, and he saw Yu Qiqi being taken down by the guards in the distance.

Yan Shiqing raised his eyes and saw that it was indeed Yu Qiqi. Her hands and body were covered in blood. As soon as the Empress Dowager passed away, seeing her like this made him feel uneasy.

Concubine Yi covered her lips and smiled, concealing the panic in her eyes, "I know that the Crown Princess has always been the most valued person by the Crown Prince, and I also called her into the palace to accompany me because I saw that she was pleasing to the eye."

"What enmity do you have with Nangongyan? And why did you frame Seventh Sister?" Yan Shiqing had already vaguely guessed that the person in the palace who dealt with Nangongyan was the concubine Yi who was charming and charming.

Concubine Yi sneered, and approached him slowly, "Your Highness is really funny, I was thinking of a little old relationship with your father and rescued you from His Royal Highness, but you came here to question me again and again, I am kind enough to save you , but you confront me like this, is this really the attitude you should have towards a benefactor?"

"You saved me, so I'm naturally grateful for your kindness, but if you want to frame Seventh Sister, I won't allow it! I will return your kindness to you. If you want to deal with Nangong Yan, you can deal with him alone. Don't drag Seventh Sister into the water."

The sternness on Yan Shiqing's face did not fade away, and the white jade hanging around his waist also swayed with his body. Regarding Yu Qiqi's matter, except for her marrying into the East Palace, he did not let her go. Overstep.

"Hmph!" She snorted coldly, "She is already His Highness's person, why are you fighting for it, in her eyes, only His Highness the Crown Prince, I can see everything these days."

Suddenly, Yan Shiqing's heart suffocated, "In short, you just can't hurt her." He clenched his fists and said coldly: "Otherwise. Otherwise, I will definitely not let you go!"

"Are you threatening me?!" In the blink of an eye, Concubine Yi's face had changed, becoming very gloomy, with a sense of loss.

"Whatever you think!" Yan Shiqing left her bedroom without leaving her any favors. Since she and Yan Churan were unwilling to tell him, then he went to investigate by himself!

"My lord, how are you doing?"

Seeing him coming out, Qing Yu hurried up and asked him with concern.

"Let's go back to the Proton Mansion!" Qing Yu immediately understood and followed him out of the palace.

When he came out, he happened to run into brothers and sisters Lin Chaofu and Lin Chaoge who were coming to the palace. Seeing him, Lin Chaoge's eyes lit up, his picturesque eyebrows were slightly curved, and there was tenderness on his face, "Yan Shizi. "

Yan Shiqing smiled at her, and slightly saluted Lin Chaofu, without intending to stay too long.He already knew in his heart that Lin Chaofu wanted to make friends with him, but he was just waiting for an opportunity.

"I didn't expect that Yan Shizi would not only dare to break into the gate of the East Palace, but also dare to break into the gate of the Imperial Palace." As always, he laughed at his identity.

"The empress dowager passed away, and the two rushed to the palace for the funeral. It's better for the young master to go in quickly. It's not good to make people who have passed away wait too long."

Yan Shiqing turned to look at him, and also choked him.

Lin Chaofu's complexion changed immediately, the Yan Shiqing in front of him was quite different from the humble one before.

"Brother, Shizi is right, let's go in quickly." Lin Chaoge always didn't like his relationship with Yan Shiqing to be too rigid.

That's why Lin Chaofu didn't engage in more verbal disputes with him. It was good for the empress dowager to treat them two brothers and sisters during her lifetime.

The national funeral of the Empress Dowager was held in Yanjing City for three days.Nangong Yan has been guarding her spirit, and he also asked Chu Peiyu to pay attention to Yu Qiqi's affairs, but it was a prison, and Chu Peiyu couldn't get in even if he wanted to.

Ah Jian pestered Chu Peiyu for three days before he told her about Yu Qiqi's whereabouts, and she took advantage of the Empress Dowager's coffin to carry it out of the palace.Sneaked into the palace quietly, not wanting to be caught by Chu Peiyu, "It's a heavenly prison with heavy punishments, can you break in if you want?"

In the dim light, Chu Peiyu shouted at her.

"I don't care, I must go to save the princess! Before the princess and I came to Nanzhao, the empress told me to protect the princess's safety! Now that she is in prison, I can't ignore it!"

With a grim face, A Jian also yelled at him.

"But if you go in like this, not only will you not be able to save her, but you will also risk your own life!" Seeing that she was about to rush out, Chu Peiyu grabbed her arm hard to prevent her from being exposed to the guards.

"But me, I can't do anything!" She put down her burden, and at this moment, she revealed all the helplessness in her heart.

Why didn't she know that once she broke into that sky prison, she would die, but she couldn't just sit and wait like this.

Now that the Empress Dowager has passed away, in this cold city of Yanjing, no one cares about the safety of the princess except Yan Shiqing and her!

But Yan Shiqing couldn't speak in front of Emperor Yan Jing, so she had to come to rescue herself.

"Just wait patiently, Your Highness will save the Crown Princess." Chu Peiyu saw that her eyes were turning red with anxiety, and her voice softened.

"Your Highness, I don't dare to expect too much." Nangong Yan seemed to be moody, and she didn't believe that he would really treat the princess well.

"These days are the Empress Dowager's funeral, His Highness has no time to put all his thoughts on the Crown Princess, but when the funeral is over, he will definitely plead with the Emperor."

A Jian raised her head and looked at him with some disbelief, but seeing the firmness in his sharp brows and eyes, she suddenly felt at ease.

"Well, I'll believe you just once." She glanced at the iron-walled prison, her eyes froze, and she gave up struggling.

At night, Yu Qiqi felt cold all over her body. She has been in this dark prison for three days, and today is the third day.

There were many scars on her body, all from these three days.

Those jailers with torture tools didn't show mercy at all when they executed her. Some of the torture tools were cold, and some were hot. She was beaten to pieces and her body was in pain, but her consciousness slowly came to her senses. come over.

She recalled the days after she entered the Liangxi Palace. On the first day she entered, her hands and feet were sore and weak, and her whole body was weak. After she swung the dagger at Concubine Yi, she fell asleep for a long time, and she seemed to be doing nothing. It was the same dream, and there was always blood in the dream.

Thinking of this, Yu Qiqi's body became colder and colder. She stared at the faint light of the torch in front of the prison door, surrounded by circles of light, which seemed to be very warm.

Looking at it, suddenly, the face of the Empress Dowager was reflected in the light circle, Yu Qiqi's eyes froze, and the corners of her lips curled up, "Grandma, grandma..." She stretched out her hand towards her.

However, the Empress Dowager only looked at her and smiled, instead of walking towards her, she held her hand as usual, and called her affectionately: "Qiqi."

Suddenly her kind face disappeared into the faint torchlight.

"Grandma, grandma!"

Yu Qiqi panicked, and hurriedly called out, her tearing voice rang again and again in the cell.

"What's the noise!" A jailer came over to scold her, but she didn't listen, and still screamed fiercely. The jailer was impatient, and he didn't care whether she was a princess or not, so he swung his stick and hit her hard on the forehead. On it, a trail of blood seeped out.

All of a sudden, her mind was shaken, and all the things that happened before entering the prison went through her mind again. During the few days when she fell asleep in Liangxi Palace, it was Concubine Yi who cast a spell on her. A sorcery of Xichu that she has only seen in books.

As long as she saw Yibi's eyes, she would obediently listen to her words.

On the day when she greeted the Empress Dowager in the Nuan Pavilion, Concubine Yi controlled her with an enchantment technique and asked her to kill the Empress Dowager.

Yu Qiqi lowered her head and raised her hand. The blood seeping from her forehead dripped into her palm. On that day, her hand was also covered with blood like now, "It's me, I killed it with my own hands." Grandma..." she murmured.

"Grandma, she, she treated me the best, but I killed her with my own hands."

After muttering a few times, suddenly, she grabbed the jailer by the corner of his clothes, raised her head and begged him, "You kill me, kill me, and let me atone for my grandma!"

Her small face was covered with bloodstains, which was hideous and terrifying.

"Crazy! Just crazy!" The jailer bent down, tore off her hands, and kicked her hard, causing her to fall to the ground and out of her cell.
