Lord of the world GL
Chapter 92 New Year's Eve Comes
After Huangfu Jinyu and Li Sihan finished their breakfast, the dark guards who had been sent to follow them also came back.
As Huangfu Jinyu expected, the mastermind behind this assassination was Leng Gang.The hidden guard found that Leng Gang sneaked into a courtyard after hearing the report from the spies, but there was no one in the courtyard.As expected, Leng Gang and those men in black were not in the same group.
After hearing the report from the hidden guard, Li Sihan was very indignant, looking forward to Huangfu Jinyu's order to kill Leng Gang, to avenge Lin Xiao, and to vent his anger on himself.
However, Huangfu Jinyu was very calm after hearing this, and he didn't seem to want to delve into the matter. "That's the end of this matter." Huangfu Jinyu said lightly.
"What about Lin Xiao's revenge? Don't you want to report it?" Li Sihan questioned, she didn't understand why Huangfu Jinyu tolerated a person who wanted to put him to death, could it be because that person was Ouyang Yuling's?
Huangfu Jinyu paused when he heard the words, and said, "I have my own opinion on this matter."
Huangfu Jinyu didn't want to go back to Nanyang, he didn't seek revenge from Leng Gang, he didn't mention Ouyang Yuling, and he didn't go to the palace to look for her, and Ouyang Yuling never looked for Huangfu Jinyu.The relationship between these two people seemed to be blown away by the sudden explosion, and disappeared in an instant, but it was as if separated by the thick smog after the explosion, people still couldn't see the truth, even the self-proclaimed and Huangfu Jinyu She also couldn't see through Li Sihan who grew up together, what Huangfu Jinyu thought about Ouyang Yuling at this moment.
In the next few days, Li Sihan often saw Huangfu Jinyu reading and practicing calligraphy in the room, or playing chess alone in the courtyard, and of course he would occasionally ask her to talk with her.Huangfu Jinyu lived quite peacefully these days, as if the quarrel with Ouyang Yuling was at odds, and the thrilling danger of being assassinated twice and hanging by a thread never happened.However, Li Sihan knew that this was just a whitewashed peace, and Huangfu Jinyu's heart was far from the calmness shown.Because she found that Huangfu Jinyu's handwriting was not as good-looking as before, and she had to think for a long time about the next move, and sometimes she would stare at the window in a daze. She also found that Huangfu Jinyu would hang up the special lantern quietly at night. What are you planning...
Although Leng Gang was angry with the unfavorable handling of the black-clothed killer and the fact that he did not say goodbye, but this matter did not alarm Ouyang Yuling in the end, he was still secretly happy.This assassination case that not many people knew about, because Huangfu Jinyu didn't pursue it, and Leng Gang didn't expose it, naturally it was as if it never happened.
The late-night assassination case has come to an end, but the Royal Enclosure bombing case has not yet been found out. Ouyang Yuling does not believe that Liu Tong and Cao Haiguang will harm him. He could have taken his own life back then, so why bother now.Although he was certain that the two were not the murderers, before the truth was found out, the two were still to blame. In order to serve as an example to others, Liu Tong was finally deposed as the head of the dark guards and exiled from Beijing. However, In fact, he took the Queen's secret mission - to find Zhou Dian, a person who might be able to cure Ouyang Yuling's hidden illness.
Cao Haiguang was relegated to guard the mausoleum of the former emperor because of his ineffective escort, which vacated the position of commander of the imperial guards.Leng Gang originally thought that this person would fall into his hands, but it didn't. The position of chief commander was still vacant, and Ouyang Yuling only added a few deputy commanders. She was always on guard against Leng Gang.
The secret assistant Liu Tong left, and the obvious assistant Cao Haiguang also left. Ouyang Yuling felt as if she had lost a hand suddenly. After all, she couldn't comfort her cold and lonely heart.Seeing either the Leng Gang whom he had been guarding against or the Wang He who did not like him, Ouyang Yu felt lonely, and with the approach of New Year's Eve, this feeling of loneliness became even worse.
"Master, if you miss Mr. Bai, go to him." Wan Xu persuaded.On the eve of New Year's Eve, Ouyang Yuling disguised herself as a man and went to get drunk in Huamanlou. Wanxu and Rouyan, who were well versed in the relationship between men and women, could see the origin of Ouyang Yuling's loneliness at a glance.
"Yes!" Rou Yan echoed, "Master, if you are too embarrassed to go, this servant can call Mr. Bai for you."
"No!" Ouyang Yuling roared, "I don't want to see him."
Wan Xu Rouyan was taken aback when she heard the words, the master asked what happened to Mr. Bai, weren't they good at first?Both of them sighed.Seeing Ouyang Yuling who was about to pour wine, Wan Xu stepped forward and pressed down her wine glass, "Master, this servant will help you to bed and rest."
"No, the bed is cold, and I can't sleep." Ouyang Yuling said, standing up staggeringly, "I'm going back."
"Master, it's so late, why don't you rest here tonight and send someone back to the palace with a message."
"Bring any message, no one in the palace is waiting for me." Ouyang Yuling said drunkenly, the palace is now a dark cage, more terrifying than the dark and damp basement where she was imprisoned before, at least there Her heart was still warm and hot, but at this moment, that cage made her heart extremely cold.Only then did she realize that without the white jade, no matter how resplendent and magnificent the palace was, it was just a cage.
"Master, let us accompany you back." Rou Yan quickly stepped forward, supporting Ouyang Yuling who was staggering and about to open the door.
"No, you'd better guard this place for me."
"master……"
"This is an order!" Ouyang Yuling said with a serious face, and in an instant he regained his dazed look.
Rou Yan and Wan Xu are worried about Ouyang Yuling, but they can't let go of their responsibilities. After all, the closer to the Spring Festival, the more they cannot relax their precautions.Rouyan Wanxu had no choice but to obey the order and stay obediently in Huamanlou. For the safety of the queen, they sent a few dark guards with strong martial arts to protect her personally, and ordered one person to send a message to You Fang, asking him to send a team of people Escorted secretly.
You Fang was shocked when he received the letter. The queen actually went out of the palace alone on the eve of New Year's Eve, so he hurriedly ordered more than a dozen golden armored guards with superb martial arts skills, and personally led the team to escort.
However, Ouyang Yuling did not return to the palace immediately. She came out of Huamanlou, squeezed through the crowd in Firework Alley, and came to a lake.The wind blowing from the lake hit Ouyang Yuling's fiery face after drinking, and it was cold for a while, but it also made her feel sober. Frustrated and desperate, she fled Huamanlou and came to this place. It was here that Baiyu gave her warmth and hope, telling her that everyone will have unsatisfactory things. He also experienced the pain of despair, and told her " It's all about human effort, unless you die, you must not easily admit defeat."
"Oh, Bai Yu, why did you give me warmth and hope back then, but now you give me coldness and disappointment?" Ouyang Yu was inspired to feel bitterness in her heart. Although she and Bai Yu had quarrels at the beginning, in the end Bai Yu was both Relying on her, supporting her, helping her, unlike now, although Bai Yu said it was for her, he always questioned her and opposed her when she made an important decision. "Bai Yu, what's the problem between us?" Ouyang Yuling said to herself, her eyes flickering. She thought about this question for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.
Forget it, Ouyang Yuling took a deep breath, turned her head, and said, "Go back to the palace."
Finally, New Year's Eve came, Nanyang Great General Huangfu Jinheng stepped into the Hall of Martial Heroes where the Nanyang Palace entertained the ministers with trepidation. Tonight, he will attend the New Year's banquet in place of the third brother and be in charge of the awarding.
This annual New Year's Eve banquet is a grand event in the Nanyang Palace. Every year, the Nanyang King will entertain officials of the third rank and above. The old man who is dead, the young man who is full of spirit.During the banquet, there were singing and dancing, drinking and drinking, and what the officials looked forward to the most was that at the banquet, the king of Nanyang would evaluate and reward the officials for their achievements in the past year.Sometimes this reward may be just a royal feast, but it is of great significance to the rewarded courtiers.Even if they didn't get the reward in the end, the courtiers would be satisfied to see Nanyang King's demeanor. After all, there are many courtiers among them, and there is only one chance a year to see Nanyang, the man they respected like a god of heaven. king.
After Huangfu Jinyu withdrew from the annual banquet last year, he was completely absent from the annual banquet this year.In the Nanyang Palace, this is the first time that the King of Nanyang has not attended the annual banquet in the 80 years since Nanyang cracked the soil and sealed the king.The invited courtiers saw the change of person in the chief seat, and couldn't help whispering a few times. The gloomy look of the dowager next to the chief seat added to the speculation of the courtiers.Seeing this, Prime Minister Li Yuanning coughed to stop the whispering of some people. Huangfu Jinheng took the opportunity to stand up and said loudly, "Everyone, the third brother is a man of destiny. Now he has received a sense from the heavens and is currently practicing in seclusion. During the middle, so I was not able to attend. However, the third brother was grateful for the achievements of all the ministers and workers who worked together to help Nanyang, and regretted not being able to attend in person, and entrusted me to take charge of the annual banquet to reward you for your contributions." Then, Huangfu Jin Yan also used the name of the third brother to express his praise to some courtiers, saying that the third brother often told me who was the bravest in battle, who loved the people the most, and so on, coaxing the dissatisfied courtiers to go to heaven up.
Huangfu Jinheng's solemn and sincere opening words, together with a few words of absurd praise that made the courtiers very useful, can be regarded as dispelling the concerns of the courtiers. It turns out that their Nanyang King did not have any accidents, nor did he They look down on these veterans, and it turns out that their king once praised them to others.So they soon calmed down, and Huangfu Jinyan's uneasy heart also calmed down.
"Then, do you have any objections to the reward on my behalf?" Huangfu Jinyan asked the ministers present with a smile. The ministers all expressed no objection and accepted it readily. The concubine with a gloomy face, he knew that if the concubine's face was like this throughout the whole scene, it would inevitably make the courtiers doubt in their hearts.
"Mother concubine?" Huangfu Jinheng called, a rare and gentle call, with a hint of provocation and a bit of strength that cannot be refuted.The concubine felt harsh when she heard it, and naturally understood why Huangfu Jinyan called. Although she was angry that Huangfu Jinyu failed to attend the annual banquet, and Li Daitao was angry that Huangfu Jinheng was stiff, she knew that on this occasion, she I had to endure it.So she held back her disgust and anger, forced her expression to soften, put on a slight smile, and nodded in response to Huangfu Jinheng. In front of everyone, she had to show a mother-child caring, loving mother and son filial piety.
Huangfu Jinheng knew that Concubine Mu must be extremely angry at this moment, but seeing that she still had to pretend to be happy at this moment, he felt very proud, and he secretly laughed in his heart, "Concubine Mu, you also have times when you are deflated, hahaha!" Then he was satisfied Turning his head in a hurry, he raised his wine glass, and all the ministers raised their glasses in response to the situation. Then the silk and bamboo sounded, the dancers filed in, and the banquet began...
Huangfu Jinheng, as the beloved younger brother of King Nanyang, is also a great general with outstanding achievements in Nanyang. Guidance first, this year's feast that was thought to be very bad, was actually not that bad, at least in the end the courtiers were not unhappy because of King Nanyang's absence.However, this is not a good signal for Concubine Longyi.
After nightfall, the banquet was successfully concluded, and all the officials left the venue one by one.
Huangfu Jinheng, who returned to the palace after the banquet, was relaxed. He was slightly drunk after drinking, and the breeze was blowing on his face. He felt a little more comfortable, and his steps became much lighter. , is this banquet not as bad as I imagined?"
"That's right! Fifth Master, you are simply amazing. Those ministers were dissatisfied at first, but I didn't expect you to convince me so submissively, and I was so grateful. And that General Zuo Teng is really funny, didn't you see The moment he saw the gift, wow, his eyes lit up." Yuan Fu described it vividly, his words were full of admiration for Huangfu Jinheng, "Fifth Lord, what gift is so miraculous? "
"It's very simple. Although General Zuo is a martial artist, he loves calligraphy very much. Third brother's calligraphy and paintings are superb, so I gave him a pair of calligraphy and paintings made by third brother."
"My lord's calligraphy and painting!" Yuan Fu was stunned, not to mention getting it, even if he could witness it, he would feel supremely honored.
"I finally realized the magical effect of the letter that my third brother gave me. It was not in vain for me to study him so hard. Without that letter, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to solve the banquet tonight." Huangfu Jinheng said, Now he can understand the interests and hobbies of all the officials on that paper. The weakness and homework were originally used to win over and restrain the courtiers, just like he took Feng Zhengnan's son under his command tonight. Although it was an honor for the Feng family, Feng Zhengnan was very grateful. But it was also a restraint on Feng Zhengnan. His son was in his hands, so he had to obediently serve him.Thinking of this, Huangfu Jinheng couldn't help admiring the third elder brother, although the third elder brother was not in Nanyang, he saw everything in Nanyang clearly and accurately, but he also felt sorry for the third elder brother's hard work for Nanyang. "Yuanfu, do you think third brother often did this tiring thing before?"
"Ah?" Yuan Fu obviously didn't understand why Huangfu Jinheng asked such a question suddenly.
"In the past, I thought that appointing courtiers was to appoint people on their merits and talents, but I didn't expect that there are these connections. Compared with the third brother, I am really far behind. Yuan Fu, I really feel that I am very bad, and I can't help the third brother." What are you busy with?"
"Ah! Fifth Master, how could it be? Aren't you organizing such a grand New Year banquet in order for the prince tonight? In the hearts of the slaves, you are as wise, powerful, martial arts, and equally..."
"Haha, Yuan Fu, how can I compare with third brother?"
"Really, in the mind of the slave, you are not inferior to the prince at all." Yuan Fu said seriously.
"Yuan Fu!" Huangfu Jinheng hastily stopped Yuan Fu and said seriously, "You can't talk nonsense like this." He knew that the third brother was the king of Nanyang, the destined master of the world, and his eternal love. Can't compare.
Yuan Fu was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth. Seeing that Huangfu Jinheng had a rare serious face, and was about to apologize for his careless words, he heard a serious and cold voice coming from his side, "Don't think that you are talking about it at the banquet." A few words, a few echoes, and a few compliments will make you feel at ease!" This was Concubine Longyi who was speaking, and she was walking towards with the support of Nurse Yun, her annoyance was clearly visible on her face.
"Toffee is auspicious!" Yuan Fu quickly fell to his knees.
"Is the concubine mother reminding me?" Huangfu Jinheng also put on a straight face, the concubine's unmoving stinky face made him very angry.
Concubine Longyi walked by Huangfu Jinheng, ignored his stern face, smiled contemptuously, and said leisurely: "You don't need to remind me, you should also understand that fluorescence is no match for Haoyue, the lord of the world, Nanyang's The king can only be your third brother."
"Could it be that in the heart of my concubine, I'm only worthy of this bit of fluorescent light?" Huangfu Jinheng was unconvinced, stuck his neck, and leaned forward to ask the concubine for an explanation, so scared that Yuan Fu held him back desperately.
And Grandma Yun was also nervous when she saw this, and while holding Concubine Longyi, she winked at Yuan Fu, "Prince Concubine, Fifth Lord, look at this New Year's Eve, it's not good to hurt your peace, this... "
After all, it was Chinese New Year, and the concubine didn't want to argue with Huangfu Jinheng and make the courtiers laugh at her, so she just said lightly "You can do it for yourself", and told Nanny Yun to go back to the bedroom.
"Mother Concubine, what do you mean?" Huangfu Jinheng said, like an enraged bull, angrily rushing towards the villain who provoked him, but Yuan Fu hugged his waist and held him tightly.
"Fifth Master calm down, Fifth Master calm down..."
"Let go, let go!"
"Don't let go!" Yuan Fu gritted his teeth and said.
"Are you going to let it go?"
"Don't let it go! Just don't let it go!"
"Yuanfu, how dare you disobey my order!"
"Fifth Lord, if the slave doesn't obey your order, it's death to you. If he obeys your order and allows you to cause trouble, it's also death to the prince."
"Yuanfu, you!"
"I don't care about this slave. No matter what, this slave can't let the fifth master do things that are not good for him and worry the prince." Yuan Fu said, while expressing his concern for Huangfu Jinheng's safety, he did not forget to bring Huangfu Jinyu out again. , he knew that only the prince could control Wu Ye's temperament.
Sure enough, after hearing Yuan Fu's words, Huangfu Jinheng's impulsiveness calmed down a lot. He took a deep breath and let it out heavily, repeating this several times.
"Fifth Master, what are you doing?" Yuan Fu asked curiously.
"Shut up!" Huangfu Jinheng yelled at Yuan Fu, and glanced at Yuan Fu's arm still around his waist, "You still don't let go!"
"Will the fifth master still look for the concubine?" Yuan Fu asked tentatively, fearing that if he let go, Huangfu Jinheng would kill him to Yihe Palace.
"What are you looking for? Go back to the palace!" Huangfu Jinheng shouted angrily.
Yuan Fu was taken aback by Huangfu Jinheng's yelling, and immediately realized that Fifth Master had died down, so he was able to let go of his hand in peace.
"Hmph!" Huangfu Jinheng glared at Yuan Fu, Yuan Fu shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue, put on a look of "it can't be my fault", saw that Huangfu Jinheng had already flung his sleeves away, and then walked away quickly He caught up step by step and followed Huangfu Jinyan in a regular manner.
Huangfu Jinyan returned to Yongheng Palace, he was silent all the way and finally vented loudly in his own palace.
"Slap!" Huangfu Jinyan slapped his palm angrily, causing things on the desk to scatter in all directions.
"Fifth Master, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry when it's the Chinese New Year." Yuan Fu was terrified, and while picking up the pen holder and books that had fallen to the ground, he comforted Huangfu Jinheng.
"Who wants to be angry? But the concubine mother always makes trouble for me. I don't blame her for being partial to the third brother, but why does she think so badly of me? Am I not her son?" He worked hard on this The annual banquet was just to help the third brother stabilize Nanyang, but at the concubine mother's place, it became a move with ulterior motives to win over the officials?Take the seat?The more Huangfu Jinyan thought about it, the more furious he became, roaring angrily, and threw the things Yuan Fu picked up with great difficulty to the ground again.
"Fifth Master, of course you are the son of the former king and the concubine."
"I obviously don't think so. Why does my mother doubt me like this? Am I that untrustworthy? I'm his biological son, but she actually doubts me and even... slanders me."
"Fifth Master, the concubine didn't say that either!" Yuan Fu said cautiously beside him, wondering in his heart, he thought the concubine didn't say anything, why was the fifth master so angry?
"I didn't say that. Does she have to point at my nose and yell at me to say it?" Huangfu Jinheng replied, "Although she didn't say it clearly, her eyes and tone of voice have revealed everything in her heart. She is Think I'm a villain trying to usurp my brother's throne."
"Fifth Master..." Yuan Fu called weakly, not knowing how to comfort the poor man who was questioned by his biological mother.
"I obviously didn't think that way, but my concubine wants to see me that way. Isn't she afraid of making me anxious? I really took the third brother's throne!"
"Fifth Master," Yuan Fu was terrified when he heard the words, and grabbed Huangfu Jinheng to stop him from continuing, then hurried to the door to check, and after confirming that no one was present, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards Huangfu Jinheng, " Fifth Master, you can’t say this, walls have ears, if others don’t listen, they might make something wrong.”
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, my mother and concubine always think that I am such a person. Damn it! My good mood has been ruined!" Huangfu Jinheng was gearing up, pacing back and forth angrily, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the treasured sword given to him by the third brother hanging on the wall , So he drew his sword and ran out.
Yuan Fu turned pale when he saw this, he couldn't stop him in time, he scrambled and ran after him, and when he got outside the hall, he found that Huangfu Jinyan was just dancing with his sword.Yuan Fu breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his beating heart, and sat down leaning against the big pillar outside the hall, only to realize that he was a little limp from fright.Looking at the figure dancing sword under the moon to vent, Yuan Fu felt that he was a bit wrong, and he even suspected Fifth Lord, because at that moment just now, he really thought that Huangfu Jinheng was going to force the palace with a sword.
In the Yihe Palace, Concubine Longyi was reclining on the couch, closing her eyes and feigning sleep. Nurse Yun was beside her massaging her temples. Because the words were on her lips, she wanted to say but couldn't, her technique was a little unsteady, "What's the matter?" Just say it straight." Dowager Concubine Longyi waved her hand to stop Nanny Yun, "Does your intermittent technique also make me dizzy?"
"It's all the servant's fault, the concubine forgives the sin." Yun Momo walked up to the concubine and was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but the concubine stretched out her hand to hold her, and said with a smile, "I'm joking with you, Ayun, you too It's too easy to be fooled." The concubine sat up straight and continued, "Speak."
Seeing that the concubine was humbly accepting remonstrance, Mother Yun did not have the sullenness just now, so she said boldly, "Concubine, this servant feels that the fifth master has no intention of fighting for the throne. If you say that, aren't you afraid that the fifth concubine will really be killed?" Is the Lord on the way to seize the throne?"
"I know he doesn't mean it, but it's hard to guarantee that others don't. He's still young and easily bewitched by others, so I have to remind him, let him remember that the seat of Nanyang King will always belong to his third brother, and he can't even think about it." After a while, he picked up the tea beside the couch, drank a few sips, and continued, "I am also worried that I will be pushed into a hurry, so I still have to be prepared. I have ordered someone to send a message to Li Yuanning. , he'd better not see Jinyan."
When Mother Yun heard the words, she couldn't help being startled. It turned out that Li Xiang, who had made great contributions to Nanyang, could not escape the suspicion of the dowager. little princess.However, even though Nanny Yun was aware of the conflict between the concubine's mother and her son, and knew that as a slave, she should not interfere with their mother and son and the Nanyang government affairs, but thinking of the third and fifth masters, she still couldn't help saying: "The third master is coming back? "
"This child Yu'er is soft-hearted and hesitant. After all, he needs me, the concubine, to help him." The concubine said lightly, with a weird smile on her lips, which made people panic. .
Concubine Concubine Yun sent someone to warn Li Xiang about her swift and resolute behavior after a banquet like this. Nanny Yun could guess that Concubine Tai had already attacked the third master, and Nanny Yun couldn't help worrying about Huangfu Jinyu.
"Hey, third master, this poor child." Momo Yun sighed silently in her heart.
As Huangfu Jinyu expected, the mastermind behind this assassination was Leng Gang.The hidden guard found that Leng Gang sneaked into a courtyard after hearing the report from the spies, but there was no one in the courtyard.As expected, Leng Gang and those men in black were not in the same group.
After hearing the report from the hidden guard, Li Sihan was very indignant, looking forward to Huangfu Jinyu's order to kill Leng Gang, to avenge Lin Xiao, and to vent his anger on himself.
However, Huangfu Jinyu was very calm after hearing this, and he didn't seem to want to delve into the matter. "That's the end of this matter." Huangfu Jinyu said lightly.
"What about Lin Xiao's revenge? Don't you want to report it?" Li Sihan questioned, she didn't understand why Huangfu Jinyu tolerated a person who wanted to put him to death, could it be because that person was Ouyang Yuling's?
Huangfu Jinyu paused when he heard the words, and said, "I have my own opinion on this matter."
Huangfu Jinyu didn't want to go back to Nanyang, he didn't seek revenge from Leng Gang, he didn't mention Ouyang Yuling, and he didn't go to the palace to look for her, and Ouyang Yuling never looked for Huangfu Jinyu.The relationship between these two people seemed to be blown away by the sudden explosion, and disappeared in an instant, but it was as if separated by the thick smog after the explosion, people still couldn't see the truth, even the self-proclaimed and Huangfu Jinyu She also couldn't see through Li Sihan who grew up together, what Huangfu Jinyu thought about Ouyang Yuling at this moment.
In the next few days, Li Sihan often saw Huangfu Jinyu reading and practicing calligraphy in the room, or playing chess alone in the courtyard, and of course he would occasionally ask her to talk with her.Huangfu Jinyu lived quite peacefully these days, as if the quarrel with Ouyang Yuling was at odds, and the thrilling danger of being assassinated twice and hanging by a thread never happened.However, Li Sihan knew that this was just a whitewashed peace, and Huangfu Jinyu's heart was far from the calmness shown.Because she found that Huangfu Jinyu's handwriting was not as good-looking as before, and she had to think for a long time about the next move, and sometimes she would stare at the window in a daze. She also found that Huangfu Jinyu would hang up the special lantern quietly at night. What are you planning...
Although Leng Gang was angry with the unfavorable handling of the black-clothed killer and the fact that he did not say goodbye, but this matter did not alarm Ouyang Yuling in the end, he was still secretly happy.This assassination case that not many people knew about, because Huangfu Jinyu didn't pursue it, and Leng Gang didn't expose it, naturally it was as if it never happened.
The late-night assassination case has come to an end, but the Royal Enclosure bombing case has not yet been found out. Ouyang Yuling does not believe that Liu Tong and Cao Haiguang will harm him. He could have taken his own life back then, so why bother now.Although he was certain that the two were not the murderers, before the truth was found out, the two were still to blame. In order to serve as an example to others, Liu Tong was finally deposed as the head of the dark guards and exiled from Beijing. However, In fact, he took the Queen's secret mission - to find Zhou Dian, a person who might be able to cure Ouyang Yuling's hidden illness.
Cao Haiguang was relegated to guard the mausoleum of the former emperor because of his ineffective escort, which vacated the position of commander of the imperial guards.Leng Gang originally thought that this person would fall into his hands, but it didn't. The position of chief commander was still vacant, and Ouyang Yuling only added a few deputy commanders. She was always on guard against Leng Gang.
The secret assistant Liu Tong left, and the obvious assistant Cao Haiguang also left. Ouyang Yuling felt as if she had lost a hand suddenly. After all, she couldn't comfort her cold and lonely heart.Seeing either the Leng Gang whom he had been guarding against or the Wang He who did not like him, Ouyang Yu felt lonely, and with the approach of New Year's Eve, this feeling of loneliness became even worse.
"Master, if you miss Mr. Bai, go to him." Wan Xu persuaded.On the eve of New Year's Eve, Ouyang Yuling disguised herself as a man and went to get drunk in Huamanlou. Wanxu and Rouyan, who were well versed in the relationship between men and women, could see the origin of Ouyang Yuling's loneliness at a glance.
"Yes!" Rou Yan echoed, "Master, if you are too embarrassed to go, this servant can call Mr. Bai for you."
"No!" Ouyang Yuling roared, "I don't want to see him."
Wan Xu Rouyan was taken aback when she heard the words, the master asked what happened to Mr. Bai, weren't they good at first?Both of them sighed.Seeing Ouyang Yuling who was about to pour wine, Wan Xu stepped forward and pressed down her wine glass, "Master, this servant will help you to bed and rest."
"No, the bed is cold, and I can't sleep." Ouyang Yuling said, standing up staggeringly, "I'm going back."
"Master, it's so late, why don't you rest here tonight and send someone back to the palace with a message."
"Bring any message, no one in the palace is waiting for me." Ouyang Yuling said drunkenly, the palace is now a dark cage, more terrifying than the dark and damp basement where she was imprisoned before, at least there Her heart was still warm and hot, but at this moment, that cage made her heart extremely cold.Only then did she realize that without the white jade, no matter how resplendent and magnificent the palace was, it was just a cage.
"Master, let us accompany you back." Rou Yan quickly stepped forward, supporting Ouyang Yuling who was staggering and about to open the door.
"No, you'd better guard this place for me."
"master……"
"This is an order!" Ouyang Yuling said with a serious face, and in an instant he regained his dazed look.
Rou Yan and Wan Xu are worried about Ouyang Yuling, but they can't let go of their responsibilities. After all, the closer to the Spring Festival, the more they cannot relax their precautions.Rouyan Wanxu had no choice but to obey the order and stay obediently in Huamanlou. For the safety of the queen, they sent a few dark guards with strong martial arts to protect her personally, and ordered one person to send a message to You Fang, asking him to send a team of people Escorted secretly.
You Fang was shocked when he received the letter. The queen actually went out of the palace alone on the eve of New Year's Eve, so he hurriedly ordered more than a dozen golden armored guards with superb martial arts skills, and personally led the team to escort.
However, Ouyang Yuling did not return to the palace immediately. She came out of Huamanlou, squeezed through the crowd in Firework Alley, and came to a lake.The wind blowing from the lake hit Ouyang Yuling's fiery face after drinking, and it was cold for a while, but it also made her feel sober. Frustrated and desperate, she fled Huamanlou and came to this place. It was here that Baiyu gave her warmth and hope, telling her that everyone will have unsatisfactory things. He also experienced the pain of despair, and told her " It's all about human effort, unless you die, you must not easily admit defeat."
"Oh, Bai Yu, why did you give me warmth and hope back then, but now you give me coldness and disappointment?" Ouyang Yu was inspired to feel bitterness in her heart. Although she and Bai Yu had quarrels at the beginning, in the end Bai Yu was both Relying on her, supporting her, helping her, unlike now, although Bai Yu said it was for her, he always questioned her and opposed her when she made an important decision. "Bai Yu, what's the problem between us?" Ouyang Yuling said to herself, her eyes flickering. She thought about this question for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.
Forget it, Ouyang Yuling took a deep breath, turned her head, and said, "Go back to the palace."
Finally, New Year's Eve came, Nanyang Great General Huangfu Jinheng stepped into the Hall of Martial Heroes where the Nanyang Palace entertained the ministers with trepidation. Tonight, he will attend the New Year's banquet in place of the third brother and be in charge of the awarding.
This annual New Year's Eve banquet is a grand event in the Nanyang Palace. Every year, the Nanyang King will entertain officials of the third rank and above. The old man who is dead, the young man who is full of spirit.During the banquet, there were singing and dancing, drinking and drinking, and what the officials looked forward to the most was that at the banquet, the king of Nanyang would evaluate and reward the officials for their achievements in the past year.Sometimes this reward may be just a royal feast, but it is of great significance to the rewarded courtiers.Even if they didn't get the reward in the end, the courtiers would be satisfied to see Nanyang King's demeanor. After all, there are many courtiers among them, and there is only one chance a year to see Nanyang, the man they respected like a god of heaven. king.
After Huangfu Jinyu withdrew from the annual banquet last year, he was completely absent from the annual banquet this year.In the Nanyang Palace, this is the first time that the King of Nanyang has not attended the annual banquet in the 80 years since Nanyang cracked the soil and sealed the king.The invited courtiers saw the change of person in the chief seat, and couldn't help whispering a few times. The gloomy look of the dowager next to the chief seat added to the speculation of the courtiers.Seeing this, Prime Minister Li Yuanning coughed to stop the whispering of some people. Huangfu Jinheng took the opportunity to stand up and said loudly, "Everyone, the third brother is a man of destiny. Now he has received a sense from the heavens and is currently practicing in seclusion. During the middle, so I was not able to attend. However, the third brother was grateful for the achievements of all the ministers and workers who worked together to help Nanyang, and regretted not being able to attend in person, and entrusted me to take charge of the annual banquet to reward you for your contributions." Then, Huangfu Jin Yan also used the name of the third brother to express his praise to some courtiers, saying that the third brother often told me who was the bravest in battle, who loved the people the most, and so on, coaxing the dissatisfied courtiers to go to heaven up.
Huangfu Jinheng's solemn and sincere opening words, together with a few words of absurd praise that made the courtiers very useful, can be regarded as dispelling the concerns of the courtiers. It turns out that their Nanyang King did not have any accidents, nor did he They look down on these veterans, and it turns out that their king once praised them to others.So they soon calmed down, and Huangfu Jinyan's uneasy heart also calmed down.
"Then, do you have any objections to the reward on my behalf?" Huangfu Jinyan asked the ministers present with a smile. The ministers all expressed no objection and accepted it readily. The concubine with a gloomy face, he knew that if the concubine's face was like this throughout the whole scene, it would inevitably make the courtiers doubt in their hearts.
"Mother concubine?" Huangfu Jinheng called, a rare and gentle call, with a hint of provocation and a bit of strength that cannot be refuted.The concubine felt harsh when she heard it, and naturally understood why Huangfu Jinyan called. Although she was angry that Huangfu Jinyu failed to attend the annual banquet, and Li Daitao was angry that Huangfu Jinheng was stiff, she knew that on this occasion, she I had to endure it.So she held back her disgust and anger, forced her expression to soften, put on a slight smile, and nodded in response to Huangfu Jinheng. In front of everyone, she had to show a mother-child caring, loving mother and son filial piety.
Huangfu Jinheng knew that Concubine Mu must be extremely angry at this moment, but seeing that she still had to pretend to be happy at this moment, he felt very proud, and he secretly laughed in his heart, "Concubine Mu, you also have times when you are deflated, hahaha!" Then he was satisfied Turning his head in a hurry, he raised his wine glass, and all the ministers raised their glasses in response to the situation. Then the silk and bamboo sounded, the dancers filed in, and the banquet began...
Huangfu Jinheng, as the beloved younger brother of King Nanyang, is also a great general with outstanding achievements in Nanyang. Guidance first, this year's feast that was thought to be very bad, was actually not that bad, at least in the end the courtiers were not unhappy because of King Nanyang's absence.However, this is not a good signal for Concubine Longyi.
After nightfall, the banquet was successfully concluded, and all the officials left the venue one by one.
Huangfu Jinheng, who returned to the palace after the banquet, was relaxed. He was slightly drunk after drinking, and the breeze was blowing on his face. He felt a little more comfortable, and his steps became much lighter. , is this banquet not as bad as I imagined?"
"That's right! Fifth Master, you are simply amazing. Those ministers were dissatisfied at first, but I didn't expect you to convince me so submissively, and I was so grateful. And that General Zuo Teng is really funny, didn't you see The moment he saw the gift, wow, his eyes lit up." Yuan Fu described it vividly, his words were full of admiration for Huangfu Jinheng, "Fifth Lord, what gift is so miraculous? "
"It's very simple. Although General Zuo is a martial artist, he loves calligraphy very much. Third brother's calligraphy and paintings are superb, so I gave him a pair of calligraphy and paintings made by third brother."
"My lord's calligraphy and painting!" Yuan Fu was stunned, not to mention getting it, even if he could witness it, he would feel supremely honored.
"I finally realized the magical effect of the letter that my third brother gave me. It was not in vain for me to study him so hard. Without that letter, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to solve the banquet tonight." Huangfu Jinheng said, Now he can understand the interests and hobbies of all the officials on that paper. The weakness and homework were originally used to win over and restrain the courtiers, just like he took Feng Zhengnan's son under his command tonight. Although it was an honor for the Feng family, Feng Zhengnan was very grateful. But it was also a restraint on Feng Zhengnan. His son was in his hands, so he had to obediently serve him.Thinking of this, Huangfu Jinheng couldn't help admiring the third elder brother, although the third elder brother was not in Nanyang, he saw everything in Nanyang clearly and accurately, but he also felt sorry for the third elder brother's hard work for Nanyang. "Yuanfu, do you think third brother often did this tiring thing before?"
"Ah?" Yuan Fu obviously didn't understand why Huangfu Jinheng asked such a question suddenly.
"In the past, I thought that appointing courtiers was to appoint people on their merits and talents, but I didn't expect that there are these connections. Compared with the third brother, I am really far behind. Yuan Fu, I really feel that I am very bad, and I can't help the third brother." What are you busy with?"
"Ah! Fifth Master, how could it be? Aren't you organizing such a grand New Year banquet in order for the prince tonight? In the hearts of the slaves, you are as wise, powerful, martial arts, and equally..."
"Haha, Yuan Fu, how can I compare with third brother?"
"Really, in the mind of the slave, you are not inferior to the prince at all." Yuan Fu said seriously.
"Yuan Fu!" Huangfu Jinheng hastily stopped Yuan Fu and said seriously, "You can't talk nonsense like this." He knew that the third brother was the king of Nanyang, the destined master of the world, and his eternal love. Can't compare.
Yuan Fu was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth. Seeing that Huangfu Jinheng had a rare serious face, and was about to apologize for his careless words, he heard a serious and cold voice coming from his side, "Don't think that you are talking about it at the banquet." A few words, a few echoes, and a few compliments will make you feel at ease!" This was Concubine Longyi who was speaking, and she was walking towards with the support of Nurse Yun, her annoyance was clearly visible on her face.
"Toffee is auspicious!" Yuan Fu quickly fell to his knees.
"Is the concubine mother reminding me?" Huangfu Jinheng also put on a straight face, the concubine's unmoving stinky face made him very angry.
Concubine Longyi walked by Huangfu Jinheng, ignored his stern face, smiled contemptuously, and said leisurely: "You don't need to remind me, you should also understand that fluorescence is no match for Haoyue, the lord of the world, Nanyang's The king can only be your third brother."
"Could it be that in the heart of my concubine, I'm only worthy of this bit of fluorescent light?" Huangfu Jinheng was unconvinced, stuck his neck, and leaned forward to ask the concubine for an explanation, so scared that Yuan Fu held him back desperately.
And Grandma Yun was also nervous when she saw this, and while holding Concubine Longyi, she winked at Yuan Fu, "Prince Concubine, Fifth Lord, look at this New Year's Eve, it's not good to hurt your peace, this... "
After all, it was Chinese New Year, and the concubine didn't want to argue with Huangfu Jinheng and make the courtiers laugh at her, so she just said lightly "You can do it for yourself", and told Nanny Yun to go back to the bedroom.
"Mother Concubine, what do you mean?" Huangfu Jinheng said, like an enraged bull, angrily rushing towards the villain who provoked him, but Yuan Fu hugged his waist and held him tightly.
"Fifth Master calm down, Fifth Master calm down..."
"Let go, let go!"
"Don't let go!" Yuan Fu gritted his teeth and said.
"Are you going to let it go?"
"Don't let it go! Just don't let it go!"
"Yuanfu, how dare you disobey my order!"
"Fifth Lord, if the slave doesn't obey your order, it's death to you. If he obeys your order and allows you to cause trouble, it's also death to the prince."
"Yuanfu, you!"
"I don't care about this slave. No matter what, this slave can't let the fifth master do things that are not good for him and worry the prince." Yuan Fu said, while expressing his concern for Huangfu Jinheng's safety, he did not forget to bring Huangfu Jinyu out again. , he knew that only the prince could control Wu Ye's temperament.
Sure enough, after hearing Yuan Fu's words, Huangfu Jinheng's impulsiveness calmed down a lot. He took a deep breath and let it out heavily, repeating this several times.
"Fifth Master, what are you doing?" Yuan Fu asked curiously.
"Shut up!" Huangfu Jinheng yelled at Yuan Fu, and glanced at Yuan Fu's arm still around his waist, "You still don't let go!"
"Will the fifth master still look for the concubine?" Yuan Fu asked tentatively, fearing that if he let go, Huangfu Jinheng would kill him to Yihe Palace.
"What are you looking for? Go back to the palace!" Huangfu Jinheng shouted angrily.
Yuan Fu was taken aback by Huangfu Jinheng's yelling, and immediately realized that Fifth Master had died down, so he was able to let go of his hand in peace.
"Hmph!" Huangfu Jinheng glared at Yuan Fu, Yuan Fu shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue, put on a look of "it can't be my fault", saw that Huangfu Jinheng had already flung his sleeves away, and then walked away quickly He caught up step by step and followed Huangfu Jinyan in a regular manner.
Huangfu Jinyan returned to Yongheng Palace, he was silent all the way and finally vented loudly in his own palace.
"Slap!" Huangfu Jinyan slapped his palm angrily, causing things on the desk to scatter in all directions.
"Fifth Master, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry when it's the Chinese New Year." Yuan Fu was terrified, and while picking up the pen holder and books that had fallen to the ground, he comforted Huangfu Jinheng.
"Who wants to be angry? But the concubine mother always makes trouble for me. I don't blame her for being partial to the third brother, but why does she think so badly of me? Am I not her son?" He worked hard on this The annual banquet was just to help the third brother stabilize Nanyang, but at the concubine mother's place, it became a move with ulterior motives to win over the officials?Take the seat?The more Huangfu Jinyan thought about it, the more furious he became, roaring angrily, and threw the things Yuan Fu picked up with great difficulty to the ground again.
"Fifth Master, of course you are the son of the former king and the concubine."
"I obviously don't think so. Why does my mother doubt me like this? Am I that untrustworthy? I'm his biological son, but she actually doubts me and even... slanders me."
"Fifth Master, the concubine didn't say that either!" Yuan Fu said cautiously beside him, wondering in his heart, he thought the concubine didn't say anything, why was the fifth master so angry?
"I didn't say that. Does she have to point at my nose and yell at me to say it?" Huangfu Jinheng replied, "Although she didn't say it clearly, her eyes and tone of voice have revealed everything in her heart. She is Think I'm a villain trying to usurp my brother's throne."
"Fifth Master..." Yuan Fu called weakly, not knowing how to comfort the poor man who was questioned by his biological mother.
"I obviously didn't think that way, but my concubine wants to see me that way. Isn't she afraid of making me anxious? I really took the third brother's throne!"
"Fifth Master," Yuan Fu was terrified when he heard the words, and grabbed Huangfu Jinheng to stop him from continuing, then hurried to the door to check, and after confirming that no one was present, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards Huangfu Jinheng, " Fifth Master, you can’t say this, walls have ears, if others don’t listen, they might make something wrong.”
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, my mother and concubine always think that I am such a person. Damn it! My good mood has been ruined!" Huangfu Jinheng was gearing up, pacing back and forth angrily, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the treasured sword given to him by the third brother hanging on the wall , So he drew his sword and ran out.
Yuan Fu turned pale when he saw this, he couldn't stop him in time, he scrambled and ran after him, and when he got outside the hall, he found that Huangfu Jinyan was just dancing with his sword.Yuan Fu breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his beating heart, and sat down leaning against the big pillar outside the hall, only to realize that he was a little limp from fright.Looking at the figure dancing sword under the moon to vent, Yuan Fu felt that he was a bit wrong, and he even suspected Fifth Lord, because at that moment just now, he really thought that Huangfu Jinheng was going to force the palace with a sword.
In the Yihe Palace, Concubine Longyi was reclining on the couch, closing her eyes and feigning sleep. Nurse Yun was beside her massaging her temples. Because the words were on her lips, she wanted to say but couldn't, her technique was a little unsteady, "What's the matter?" Just say it straight." Dowager Concubine Longyi waved her hand to stop Nanny Yun, "Does your intermittent technique also make me dizzy?"
"It's all the servant's fault, the concubine forgives the sin." Yun Momo walked up to the concubine and was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but the concubine stretched out her hand to hold her, and said with a smile, "I'm joking with you, Ayun, you too It's too easy to be fooled." The concubine sat up straight and continued, "Speak."
Seeing that the concubine was humbly accepting remonstrance, Mother Yun did not have the sullenness just now, so she said boldly, "Concubine, this servant feels that the fifth master has no intention of fighting for the throne. If you say that, aren't you afraid that the fifth concubine will really be killed?" Is the Lord on the way to seize the throne?"
"I know he doesn't mean it, but it's hard to guarantee that others don't. He's still young and easily bewitched by others, so I have to remind him, let him remember that the seat of Nanyang King will always belong to his third brother, and he can't even think about it." After a while, he picked up the tea beside the couch, drank a few sips, and continued, "I am also worried that I will be pushed into a hurry, so I still have to be prepared. I have ordered someone to send a message to Li Yuanning. , he'd better not see Jinyan."
When Mother Yun heard the words, she couldn't help being startled. It turned out that Li Xiang, who had made great contributions to Nanyang, could not escape the suspicion of the dowager. little princess.However, even though Nanny Yun was aware of the conflict between the concubine's mother and her son, and knew that as a slave, she should not interfere with their mother and son and the Nanyang government affairs, but thinking of the third and fifth masters, she still couldn't help saying: "The third master is coming back? "
"This child Yu'er is soft-hearted and hesitant. After all, he needs me, the concubine, to help him." The concubine said lightly, with a weird smile on her lips, which made people panic. .
Concubine Concubine Yun sent someone to warn Li Xiang about her swift and resolute behavior after a banquet like this. Nanny Yun could guess that Concubine Tai had already attacked the third master, and Nanny Yun couldn't help worrying about Huangfu Jinyu.
"Hey, third master, this poor child." Momo Yun sighed silently in her heart.
