who knows how to cross

The resplendent Dayan Palace is shrouded in a silvery moonlight, the roses are quiet, and the precious grasses are covered with dew.It was supposed to be time to fall asleep, but the little emperor Nanmenyan was pacing up and down in his bedroom in a bright yellow coat with his hands behind his back, seemingly full of thoughts.

The little emperor Nanmen Yan was only ten years old, and it has been four years since he ascended the throne at the age of six, and he was personally trained by his imperial sister Nanmen Xiao. Although he is young, there is already a hint of the air of a king in his brows.

Seeing that the emperor refused to fall asleep for a long time, this worried all the court ladies.It has been several days since the emperor learned that the princess was missing and he has not had a good night's sleep. Now that the princess is safe, the emperor still refuses to sleep. If there is something wrong, how can he explain it to His Royal Highness?

At this time, the emperor's close servant, Eunuch Li, stepped in the door, and all the maids surrounded him as if they had seen a savior, saying:

"Eunuch Li, the emperor is thinking about His Highness the Princess and refuses to fall asleep for a long time, what should I do!"

"If the emperor is in poor health, the princess will punish me when she comes back."

"Eunuch Li, Your Majesty has always been willing to listen to you, so please advise me."

Li Nian has been with the emperor since he was a child, a few years older than the emperor, and has the closest and most loyal relationship with the emperor among the court ladies and eunuchs. How can he, a close servant, not know that the emperor misses the princess?

After comforting the maid, Li Nian walked up to the emperor and knelt down to salute, "Your Majesty"

Seeing Li Nian, Nanmenyan's eyes showed a gleam of joy, and he stepped forward to help him up, "Little Lizi, get up quickly, Miss Huang has returned to the palace?" Although the ten-year-old voice was still a little childish, but every word Full of concern for his imperial sister.

Li Nian got up and stood up, his tone seemed to be coaxing a child, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess is already on the way back to the palace, the Emperor should rest earlier, the dragon body is the uppermost, when the Emperor wakes up, he will definitely see the princess."

Hearing this, the joy just turned to disappointment again, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his tone was firm, "I won't sleep, I'm going to wait here for the queen's return!" Looking at the ladies in the palace, he shouted, "You all step down for me! !" Huang Jie is his own Huang Jie, the Huang Jie he depends on for life, he wants to see the returned Huang Jie as soon as possible, he wants to wait for Huang Jie, why should he stop her!

The ten-year-old Nanmenyan inherited the excellent genes of his ancestors, and he already looked like Pan An at a young age. Now he is frowning and angry, with a fierce aura, which makes Li Nian feel like he has been with the emperor for many years. , I always thought that he was pure and gentle, gentle and indisputable, I couldn't help but secretly startled, and then realized that the emperor is the emperor, the king of the country, he should be arrogant in his behavior and speech, swallowing the world, and the emperor was raised by the princess himself, how could it be the same as before? Pure boy?Now that the Zhao family is gone, it seems that Dayan's emperor is going to really become the emperor!

Signaling the dazed maid to go down, Li Nian took a coat and put it on the little emperor, and stood aside with a relieved look on his face, that's all, it's rare for the emperor to be like this, so let him be.

Traveling all the way through the night with stars, fortunately, the journey from Zhao Guogong's mansion to the imperial palace is not far away.

The escorting officers and soldiers had already been ordered by Nanmen Xiao to disperse in the middle of the journey. At the moment when the carriage arrived at the palace gate, only Duan Linqi and a few princess guards and close attendants were left.

After getting off the carriage, Nanmen Xiao turned to look at Duan Linqi not far away:

"My palace is here for today's matter. Thank you Lord Duan for arriving in time. After returning to the palace, I will definitely ask the emperor for rewards for meritorious deeds." The cold voice was like a clear spring that has been soaked through ice, and it was blowing slowly. In Duan Linqi's heart, he recovered from Princess Cai's gaze just now, and hurriedly lowered his head, "It's my duty to be a minister, so I dare not reward you."

Nanmen Xiao's mouth curled into a smile, and he turned his head to face the open palace gate, "The moon is cold and the stars are cold, and the dew is deeper, my lord, please go back."

As if bewitched by that smile again, Duan Linqi lowered his head again and saluted, "My minister, please leave." Before he turned around and took a few steps, Nanmen Xiaoqing's cold voice came from behind him again.

"Since Master Duan is the Young Minister of Dali Temple, how do you know what crime should be punished for murdering the princess?"

Duan Linqi paused, remained silent for a while, and replied, "Murdering the princess is a crime that should be punished, and the nine clans should be punished."

Hearing this, Her Majesty the Princess nodded thoughtfully, "I have heard rumors that Duan Shaoqing's ability to be a fourth-rank official is really due to the prime minister's merit." Seeing Duan Linqi's resentful and frightened face, he said, "From today's perspective, it is a real achievement." The name belongs to you. Duan Shaoqing will be responsible for Zhao Guogong's affairs."

"Minister, duty."

There was a faint cold sweat on his forehead, and when he looked up again, the palace gate was already empty.

Duan Linqi wiped off the sweat from his forehead, looking at the palace gate which was slowly closing, with a deep expression on his face.First, he placed his cronies by Zhao Guogong's side, and forbeared for many years to obtain evidence of Zhao Guogong's corruption, so that Zhao Guogong was imprisoned, and then he specially sent news to Zhao Guogong's son that his father had died in prison, inciting him and Dayan to break the net. In order to lure, the Zhao family was finally convicted of murdering the princess. So far, Zhao Guogong will never recover.Not only that, in order to suppress Zhao Guogong's remaining party, shut up the mouths of all the officials, and hand over the case to him, the son of the prime minister, the princess's tricks are really high.Zhao Guogong put down the net, in this world of Dayan, the surname should only be Nanmen from now on.

Seeing the princess from a distance, a court lady hurried forward and saluted, "Your maidservant sees the princess!"

Nanmen Xiao glanced at her and recognized her as the court lady next to the emperor, so she said, "Get up, you are the court lady next to Yan'er, you are not waiting in the emperor's bedroom, why are you here?"

Seeing the princess's questioning tone, the maid's heart trembled, she gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor misses the princess, and is waiting for the princess in the Hall of Stars."

Nanmen Xiao glanced at the night, and immediately became angry, "Nonsense, take me to the Hall of Stars!" At such a time, it should be time to fall asleep!

"Xiao Lizi, why hasn't the emperor come to see me yet, and I'm about to fall asleep?" The little emperor Nanmenyan lay on his big imperial table, and asked Li Nian weakly, but there was no reply for a long time. , Looking up, Xiao Lizi was sleeping soundly with his head tilted.Feeling bored, she snapped her fingers again and said to herself, "You are not as good as me, only my sister who loves me the most, you don't wait for my sister, I wait for myself." Ten years old, and With exhaustion, that kind of voice sounded waxy and soft, and it immediately softened the heart of Nanmen Xiao who had just entered the door. She vaguely remembered Nanmen Yan who was five years old. At that time, their father and mother were still there. , she led the south gate out of the palace, he pointed at the candied haws not far away with his little finger, and said to her in a sticky voice, "Sister Huang, I want candied haws".

The little Nanmen Yan only naively wanted to ask her for candied haws once. Later, his father, queen and queen left one after another. To become an emperor, he has not learned how to act like a baby like a child, but he has to learn how to be scheming every step of the way, how to play tricks, and how to support the country with his small shoulders.

He walked up to the little man in a low voice, stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and whispered softly, "Why is it that Yan'er is not there to greet Miss Huang when she comes back?"

The little man was already exhausted, his eyes were half-opened and half-closed when he saw his imperial sister, he immediately regained his energy, and shouted excitedly, "Emperor sister!" When excited, the clothes on his body fell off.

Nanmen Xiao picked up the clothes and put them on Nanmen Yan's body again, stroked his forehead with his hand, and asked gently, "Do you know what's wrong with Yan'er?"

Unexpectedly, Nanmen Yan, who always knew his mistakes, frowned at this moment, looked at Nanmen Xiao with aggrieved eyes, and said in a firm tone, "Yan'er wants to see Sister Huang, Yan'er is not wrong." Although Sister Huang didn't tell him anything, he Knowing that Sister Huang did a very dangerous thing for him, he knew that Sister Huang might not come back, he was still young, but he knew that there was nothing he could do to stop it, but he knew.

Nanmen Xiao was not angry either, and motioned Xiao Zhu to carry the little emperor to the bed, and said softly, "I have met Huang Jie, and Huang Jie is fine, if Yan'er still refuses to sleep, there is nothing wrong with it."

Nanmen Yan was really too sleepy, and she got on the bed again, feeling even more sleepy, and she did not forget to recall the words of her imperial sister, "Yan'er, sleep...is..." After finishing the words, she fell asleep go.

Li Nian, who had dozed off here for a while, opened his eyes, just in time to see Her Royal Highness coming out from the room. He was shocked, and was about to salute, but was stopped by Nanmen Xiao's eyes.

Nanmen Xiao lowered his voice, his face turned cold, "The emperor is awake, but the servants are asleep. I don't want to see it a second time. I will go to the respect room to get twenty."

"Yes."

Looking at the figure of the princess going away, Li Nian let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately, it's only twenty.
