Nangong Ripple lowered his head, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he cleaned up his emotions, and his eyes became more and more cold.

The grievances between her and Shangguan Yue have begun since the emperor gave her and Song Han a marriage, and it is impossible for them to clear up between them in this life, there must be someone between them to win, and someone must disappear in this world.

Nangong Ripple lowered her head and didn't speak, Princess Qi and King Qi looked at her worriedly, and then the two of them glanced at each other, and then sighed, they knew that the knot in Ripple's heart was still not untied.

After Princess Qi placed Nangong Ripple, she got up and left the room with King Qi.

Nangong Lianyi was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling blankly, without saying a word, all kinds of strange emotional changes in his eyes, and kept staring at the roof.

After King Qi and Princess Qi left the room, the two of them didn't go far before they stopped and stood in place, their eyes full of worry.

King Qi shook his head and wondered, "Why did Ripple become so paranoid? She didn't listen to us at all. King Qi said helplessly, the state of the ripples really worried him.

Now the ripples have completely changed a person, the generous daughter has now become a resentful woman, and she can no longer find the simple, kind and beautiful side of the beginning, as if she has become a dark person.

"The ripples are all tormented by the Shangguan family and the Shangguan family, the ripples can't go on like this, and if they continue, something bigger will really happen." Princess Qi said with concern in her eyes, her tone full of fear.

Now the two of them didn't have any choice, and after standing not far from the door and thinking for a while, they finally sighed and left.

Lian'er, who was standing at the door, looked at the back of King Qi and his wife leaving, her eyes were full of eagerness, her hands were clenched into fists, and she had a lot of thoughts.

Why did the county lord become so dark?

Since the county lord experienced the fire, she has been staying by the county lord's side, and she knows that the county lord's temperament has changed greatly because of his disfigurement, but the county lord has become such a dark appearance, not only because of the Shangguan family.

Lian'er couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of the secret buried in her heart by the county lord, the county lord became like this, and there was a secret in her heart.

When Lian'er thought of that inner secret, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

At this time in the palace, Empress Gongsun returned to the palace and went straight back to her own Qiwu Palace, only she and Aunt Zhen were left in the room, and Empress Gongsun sat in the room without saying a word, her eyes were full of complicated emotions.

Just when Empress Gongsun's expression became more and more solemn, there was a sudden sound of the door opening, and Empress Gongsun immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "What news can you find?" ”

Empress Gongsun's eagerness has happened many times.

"Back to the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is still playing chess with the emperor in the imperial study, and the servants heard that the emperor is in a very good mood today, and the two of them have been playing chess since they returned to the palace." The eunuch replied respectfully.

Empress Gongsun sat back in her seat, her face becoming more and more solemn, and her intuition told her that something had developed to their advantage.

The emperor asked Nangong Mo to accompany him to play chess, but Empress Gongsun couldn't guess why the emperor suddenly and frequently asked Nangong Mo to play chess with him.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jianqing and Nangong Mo were playing chess fiercely, and the strength of the two was comparable, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

"I know that you are proficient in all kinds of talents, and I didn't expect this game of chess to be so good," Emperor Jianqing said appreciatively, he has always loved Nangong Mo, but never to the point of importance.

But after learning that Nangong Mo was his child last time, he paid more attention to Nangong Mo, and even those who looked at Nangong Mo would be mixed with other emotions.

"The minister doesn't dare, it's the emperor who gives the minister face, so that the minister won't lose in a mess." Nangong Mo still had a calm tone, his expression was elegant, and there was no trace of other emotions on his handsome face.

It seems that the indifference is brought out of the bones, which makes people can't help but feel a little admiration.

"Hahaha, not bad." Emperor Jianqing's laughter echoed throughout the imperial study.

Emperor Jianqing and Nangong Mo were extremely excited to play chess, and their eyes were full of smiles.

Emperor Jianqing landed in the chess game with a sunspot in his hand, and when he raised his eyes, he glanced at Nangong Mo, his eyes were full of complexity, and after only a moment, he withdrew the deep meaning in his eyes and continued to play chess as if nothing happened.

After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Jianqing smiled and spoke, "In the past few months, you have been able to handle the affairs of the court and the central government very well, I think you can be fully qualified for a better position, why don't I arrange a better position for you, what do you think?" ”

Nangong Mo's hand holding the chess piece suddenly paused in the air, and the expression on his face began to become solemn, as if he was a little stunned because of Emperor Jianqing's words.

Nangong Mo hurriedly got up and got down from the couch and knelt on the ground respectfully, with a solemn expression.

"What are you doing here?" Emperor Jianqing looked at Nangong kneeling on the ground in fear, and his expression became a little solemn.

"The minister thanked the emperor for the affirmation of the minister's ability, but the minister is not suitable for important positions, the emperor knows, the minister has always liked the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, leisurely, the minister's heart is not in the government, the emperor let the minister hold the current position, the minister is already haggard to do his job, if it is a higher position, the minister is afraid that he will be at a loss, I am afraid that something will go wrong." Nangong Mo said word by word, full of momentum.

"Helpless? With your ability, I believe that you can be qualified for a better position, if you are still asked to do these small things, it may be a loss for us Northern Qi, I think you are still suitable for a better position, haha......" Emperor Jianqing inadvertently glanced at the chess game on the table.

When he was playing chess with Nangong Mo just now, he had been testing Nangong Mo, but Nangong Mo never seemed to have taken the initiative to attack, and he had always been neither fighting nor grabbing.

Emperor Jianqing can be sure that Nangong is indifferent and does not fight, and his character of not being sad or happy has been developed, and he is the most suitable person in his heart.

Emperor Jianqing became more and more sure of his inner decision, as if all the goals of today had been achieved, Emperor Jianqing happily sent the chess pieces in his hand back to the chessboard, and said loudly, "Let's go here for the time being, I'm a little tired, you go down first, and our father and son will have a showdown another day." ”

Emperor Jianqing deliberately emphasized the father and son, and then immediately put away the complicated emotions in his eyes, "Although you are not my biological son, I have always loved you as my biological son, and you will not disappoint me." ”

Emperor Jianqing looked at Nangong Mo who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of smiles.

Nangong Mo listened to Emperor Jianqing's words, and then kowtowed, his tone was full of panic, "The minister doesn't dare to make a mistake, thank you to the emperor for valuing the minister, the minister doesn't dare to be." ”
