I looked at Nangong Jinhong's step by step, and the civil and military officials of the Great Highness were also very nervous, staring at me. I thought for a while and said with a smile: "Mr. Nangong, today is His Majesty the Emperor's banquet for all civil and military officials. It is the time for singing and dancing to rise to peace. Why should we be so tense?"
Nangong Jinhong stared at me, completely losing the handsome aura he had when he first met. Instead, he showed his evil aura and said, "Everyone who disobedients can be punished!"
"Then, did Lord Nangong really see me disobedience?"
"Does your Nishikawa Yan family still need to see what they do?"
Indeed, the Yan family in the West River has been hostile to the court in the past few decades. If you want to rebel, you don’t have to look at it with your eyes anymore.
But I'm waiting for his words.
I said with a smile: "Mr. Nangong is such a bad word. Is there any disobedience between the Yan family in Xichuan? If you don't go to see it or investigate it, you don't even have a basic understanding. Just by convicting yourself in a capital thousands of miles away, wouldn't that be too ridiculous? Just like I am sitting here upright, obviously doing nothing, but Lord. Nangong has been charged with murdering the emperor and the queen. Is this really a crime to be added, so why not worry?"
“…”
"Master Nangong is the Minister of War, how could he be so hasty?"
“…”
"How can you convince the ministers and relieve His Majesty the Emperor?"
“…”
When Nangong Jinhong was snatched by me, his face suddenly turned red and white. In fact, logic is, what he did is absolutely right. As the eldest lady of the Yan family, I was prevented, but even though I said it clearly, it became his loophole and handle.
He looked up at Pei Yuanhao and immediately knelt down on the ground: "Emperor, old minister--"
"alright."
At this time, Pei Yuanhao spoke slowly. He interrupted Nangong Jinhong's words and raised his hand gently: "Nangong Aiqing is just eager to protect his master. I also know your loyalty, get up quickly."
Nangong Jinhong then got up from the ground again.
Then, he glanced at me.
It was just the first time I met. Although I had no win or loss, anyone with a discerning eye knew that I had the upper hand. I could also think that this old minister was afraid of hating me to the core. However, at that glance just now, although he could see his frown and a little angry, he seemed to have some appreciation.
I don't know if I've read it wrong.
He looked at me once and then said, "I was indeed impatient just now, but I want to ask Miss Yan, you said there is no evidence of the Yan family's rebellion. So, who was the one who assassinated the eldest princess on the wedding night in Yangzhou?!"
Finally, I still have to talk about this.
I felt like my whole body was poured through ice and snow. The blood on my face faded away, leaving only my pale lips trembling slightly. I felt the concubines around me looking at me with strange eyes. Among them, there were also a pair of eyes staring at me hotly, as if I would burn my skin wherever I saw.
I took a deep breath and said calmly: "I didn't see who was the one who moved the hand."
Nangong Jinhong smiled: "However, according to the people attending the wedding banquet at that time, Miss Yan should have heard the murderer confess. "
"……right."
"Who confessed?"
"Liu Qinghan."
Nangong Jinhong's mouth had an uncontrollable smile, and he looked at me lightly: "Miss Yan knows where Liu Qinghan came from?"
“…”
I stood in the hall, my hands and feet were already cold at this moment, and I couldn't even feel it when I pinched my fingers, but I still pinched them tightly. After a long silence, I spoke and said loudly: "He was born in a small fishing village outside Yangzhou. He made a living by fishing since childhood. Although he was born poor, he never gave up his ideals. Later, when his family encountered a change, he left his hometown and traveled around, increasing his knowledge and strengthened his beliefs. Later, he became the disciple of Fu Badai, a great scholar in Xichuan, studied scriptures in Tianmu Temple, and studied the world's teachings. When Fu Badai entered Beijing to be a bachelor of Jixian Hall, he also followed his teacher to Beijing and served as a direct scholar of Jixian Hall. He once investigated and dealt with fraud cases in the field, and made great contributions when eliminating the rebellious minister Shen family. Later he served as the Minister of Rites."
I finished talking one by one, and then looked at him: "Mr. Nangong wants to ask about his origin, but I don't know which one should I ask?"
Nangong Jinhong's face darkened.
He obviously wanted to use the point where Liu Qinghan came from Xichuan's academy, but he didn't expect that I would tell him all his life, which made it difficult for him to mention that point again.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became a little stiff.
I could feel even more that Pei Yuanhao's breath became heavier while sitting on the dragon throne.
Nangong Jinhong looked up at Pei Yuanhao, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then said, "It seems that Liu Qinghan has a rich experience, and he actually has so many 'borns', it's no wonder-" He looked at me: "He can please everyone."
My face darkened: "What does it mean?"
Nangong Jinhong laughed and said, "I heard that Liu Qinghan assassinated the eldest princess and was supposed to behead Ming Zhengdian, but he was suddenly rescued by a group of thugs during the execution. Later, I heard that they had bought a boat and entered west. Miss Yan, do you know where Liu Qinghan, the murderer of the court, went in the end?"
“…”
"Miss Yan probably knows that Liu Qinghan has a lot of things in the past, but she may not know his present and future, right? It doesn't matter if she doesn't know it. I tell you that he went to Xichuan and became a force there."
He said, his eyes narrowed slightly and looked at me with a sharp needle: "Miss Yan, if the Yan family in Xichuan did not collude with Liu Qinghan, would this murderer dare to go to Xichuan? If there was no collusion in this, where did Liu Qinghan's power in Xichuan come from? The Yan family actually colluded with a murderer who assassinated the eldest princess. What do they want to do? Isn't this Sima Zhao's heart known to everyone?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."
It seems that Nangong Jinhong is indeed not simple.
Although I don’t know if my appearance tonight was as expected by them, it was really not easy to combine Liu Qinghan’s “assassination” with the Yan family’s “rebellion” so quickly and put this big hat on me.
I couldn't help but look back at Nangong Lizhu.
Until now, she has not moved.
Perhaps, with her father present, she is already sure to win at this moment, and she really doesn't need to come out, a newly-recommended concubine, to confront me.
It seemed that she felt my gaze, and she turned her head to look at me.
But, just one glance, she looked at me with a wonderful statement.
My brows immediately frowned.
At this time, Chang Qing next to him said softly: "Yan Qingying, do you have something to say?"
I was stunned, raised my head to look at her, she also looked at me, looked at the hall again, and gave a slightly wink: "You, do you have something to say."
Just now, I was lost.
I came back to my senses and looked at Nangong Jinhong at His Highness. It was obvious that he was already a little sure of winning. Even the officials of his sect were ready to move at this moment. I guess if I really had nothing to say, they would immediately leave the work and ask the emperor to throw me into prison.
I smiled softly, and then said, "Mr. Nangong's eyes are indeed as sharp as a torch, and he is very clear. Everything cannot escape the eyes of Master. Nangong."
“…”
"However, Lord Nangong just talked about Sima Zhao's heart, so Lord Nangong knows that there is something that everyone knows about, but Lord Nangong doesn't know."
His face changed: "What?"
I smiled and said, "Liu Qinghan did go to Xichuan, and he did have his own power in Xichuan, but Lord Nangong knows where his power came from?"
He said, "Isn't it given by the Yan family?"
"Indeed, it was given to me by someone named Yan Qinghan. That person is my cousin."
Nangong Jinhong looked happy and was about to speak, but I didn't wait for his words to say, and said directly: "But this person has been expelled from the Yan family long ago and is not from the Yan family at all."
“…!”
He was stunned for a moment and stared at me with wide eyes.
I looked at him with a smile: "Sir Nangong didn't know about this?"
This matter is just a family matter of the Yan family, and it is not widely circulated. With the news between the imperial court and Xichuan, it is even more impossible to know about the Yan family matters.
Nangong Jinhong's expression was also a little confused, but he was still calm and stared at me and said, "This matter is the business of your Yan family. If you say you have it, you will have it. If you say you don't have it, you will have it."
I said frankly: "Yes, this matter is indeed a family matter of the Yan family. However, there are also people in the court who have been to the Yan family. This matter should not be considered a secret, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yanqiu slowly stood up from his seat.
He leaned over and bowed to Pei Yuanhao: "Wei Minister--"
Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuanhao waved his hand gently: "No need to say it."
Nangong Jinhong looked at Wu Yanqiu, then looked at Pei Yuanhao: "Emperor——"
Pei Yuanhao said: "Yan Qingying's words are right. Yan Qinghan has indeed been expelled from the Yan family. Wu Qing's family once saw him when he was on the mission to Xichuan. He could not even enter the Yan family's head's house. I have known this for a long time."
“…”
This time, Nangong Jinhong's face turned completely pale.
Although Pei Yuanhao did not make a clear statement in the process of me and his relationship, this last sentence almost made the difference. He had reached this point and had nothing to say.
So, I could only bow down and bow: "I am afraid, but I am ashamed."
"Okay." Pei Yuanhao waved his hand again: "Since today is a good time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, I won't talk about these things. You all sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Nangong Jinhong, the censor, and Wu Yanqiu, who had just stood up and said nothing, sat down again.
I sat down, too.
