Chapter 1062: Mutiny (2)
"Although I haven't received any news from the King of Chu, Princess Chu may know some inside information, and I called Princess Chu to better understand this matter." Nangong Qing explained simply, and those old ministers stopped talking, and Sun Dafu, the chief eunuch beside Nangong Qing, didn't dare to slack off, and left in a hurry.
Su Yi helped Nangong Qing to sit down in the imperial study, and poured another cup of tea for Nangong Qing, Nangong Qing's face softened a little, and those old ministers did not let them continue to kneel, but stood aside.
Although those old ministers didn't say it, Nangong Qing felt the gaze of those old ministers, and naturally knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
If the rebellion of the King of Chu is confirmed, Nangong Qing must make plans in advance, lest Dongwan suddenly send troops and catch Western Chu off guard. But why did this matter have to be publicized?
Nangong Qing only felt a little big, he didn't believe that Nalan would rebel at night, but now that things were in front of him, Nangong Qing was a little panicked, and he was also worried.
Nalan Night is amazing!
For so many years, he has made great achievements for Xichu, and he is very familiar with Xichu, if Nalan Ye really wants to rebel, then the entire Xichu is almost Nalan Ye's bag......
From the bottom of his heart, Nangong Qing didn't want Nalan Ye to rebel, this consequence was really terrible!
In the imperial garden, Luo Qingluan was smiling and watching the two children laughing and playing on the side, their faces full of pampering. The two children are naturally Nangong Yu, the little prince born to Su Yi, who looks like Nangong Qing between his eyebrows and eyes, and the other is Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye's child, Nalan Changyi.
"You two slow down, don't fall." At this moment, watching the two children staggering, staggering but refusing to be hugged, Luo Qingluan was full of joy, and the smile on his face was even better.
The two children are eccentric, but they have had a very good relationship since they were children, and Luo Qingluan, who watched it, also felt a little emotional.
Now Nalan Ye is not in the palace, but looking at his son Changyi, Luo Qingluan's longing for Nalan Ye can also be slightly reduced, after all, Changyi and Nalan Ye are simply carved out of the same mold. Looking at the child now, Luo Qingluan couldn't help but think of what happened to her and Nalan Ye in the past.
"Princess Chu!"
Just when Luo Qingluan was thinking a little distracted, she was awakened by a sound, she looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and found that the person who came was the chief eunuch beside Nangong Qing, Sun Dafu.
"What's wrong with Mr. Sun?" Luo Qingluan watched Sun Dafu trotting over panting, and he was slightly uneasy in his heart.
"Your Majesty summoned you over, but the old slave was looking for it for a long time, and only then did the people in the Niangniang Palace know that Niangniang took the little prince to play in the imperial garden." Sun Dafu said with a slight gasp.
"Is there something Your Majesty summoned me to come over?" When Luo Qingluan heard Sun Dafu say this, the uneasiness in his heart worsened a little, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any news from the prince?" β
As soon as he heard Luo Qingluan mention Nalan Ye, Sun Dafu's face suddenly became a little tangled, as if he was hesitating about something, glanced at Luo Qingluan and then looked at the people around him, and sighed softly.
"Mr. Sun, what's wrong, can't you tell me?" It was about Nalan Night, Luo Qingluan's whole person was a little anxious, Changyi also stopped playing when he saw the movement here, ran towards Luo Qingluan, and hugged Luo Qingluan's legs.
Sun Dafu glanced at Changyi, who was hugging Luo Qingluan's lap, and said with some embarrassment: "Niangniang, this ......"
Luo Qingluan immediately asked the maid to take Changyi away, and at the same time took Nangong Yu away, and after settling the two children, Luo Qingluan looked at Sun Dafu and said solemnly: "Is something wrong with the prince?" Mr. Sun might as well say it directly. β
Sun Dafu hesitated for a moment, and then whispered in front of Luo Qingluan: "Before the old slave came, Lord Song Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and several other old ministers broke into the imperial study, and His Majesty was accompanying Queen Su to paint, and he was startled, but what Lord Song Zhen said was even more terrifying......
Sun Dafu paused, and after saying so much, it seemed that he wanted to give Luo Qingluan a psychological preparation, and then continued to speak: "Lord Song Qian said that he received news that the king of Chu had rebelled and became the regent of Dongwan......"
"What?" Luo Qingluan was suddenly struck by lightning, and the whole person looked at Sun Dafu in disbelief, and she frowned and said, "How is this possible?" Lord Wang, he would never do such a thing! β
Sun Dafu seemed to have expected Luo Qingluan to have such an expression, and sighed and said: "Princess Niangniang, don't say that you don't believe in this matter, even the old slave can't believe it."
"What did Your Majesty say?" Luo Qingluan felt that he was a little unstable on his feet, and his face turned a little pale.
"Your Majesty doesn't believe it either, but a few old ministers said that the King of Chu killed the crown prince of Dongwan, so it is not impossible for Emperor Dongwan to do this......" Sun Dafu sighed, but then said: "Princess Niangniang, let's hurry over, many people are waiting for us."
While speaking, Sun Dafu motioned to Luo Qingluan to hurry towards the imperial study, Luo Qingluan stumbled slightly, but still hurried in the direction of the imperial study.
Along the way, Luo Qingluan's mood was very complicated, and she also thought of a lot of things, she absolutely didn't believe in the fact that Nalan Night would rebel, something must have gone wrong here.
In the past, Nalan would send someone to send back news when she was outside at night, but she didn't receive any news about such a big thing, there must be something wrong with it!
Thinking of this, Luo Qingluan's footsteps involuntarily accelerated, she wanted to figure out what was going on, in short, she absolutely didn't believe in Nalan Ye's rebellion!
If Nalan Ye rebelled, it would be directly equivalent to forcing her and Changyi into a desperate situation!
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty! Think again! β
As soon as he arrived at the imperial study, Luo Qingluan heard a heartbroken male voice, and was immediately a little disappointed. Nalan Ye's exploits are obvious to everyone, and at this time, there is only some unfavorable news, and they are like this......
"Yes, the behavior of Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, is really outrageous! As the king of Chu, he actually betrayed Western Chu for his own selfish desires, this? β
Soon another voice chimed in: "Your Majesty, minister, I beg Your Majesty to immediately lead troops to capture Dongwan!" Capture Nalan Night! β
In the imperial study, Nangong Qing said coldly, "How to attack?" Are you going? "If they can take Dongwan, why should they worry so much?
"It's better that Your Majesty can make a condition with Dong Wan, as long as Nalan Ye is tied back, I, Xichu, am willing to pay some price."
Luo Qingluan stood outside the door, and couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, how could these people think so naΓ―ve, and discuss with Emperor Dongwan to bring Nalan Ye back? Regardless of whether Nalan Ye rebelled or not, if he was really in the hands of Emperor Dongwan, it would be absolutely impossible, it was simply nonsense!
"Nalan Ye, this white-eyed wolf, I hope Your Majesty will not be merciful!"
Oh? White-eyed wolf? Luo Qingluan was really laughed at, they were afraid that they really didn't know how much Nalan Ye had paid for Xichu, right? At this time, he blindly belittled Nalan Ye, what does His Majesty think? Your Majesty knows everything.
Seeing that Sun Dafu was about to speak, Luo Qingluan made a silent gesture, and the latter closed his mouth in recognition. He originally wanted to report that His Majesty, Princess Chu had arrived.
"Go down." Luo Qingluan whispered.
Sun Dafu walked away, Luo Qingluan was only then in the imperial study, the more he listened, the darker his face became, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists.
At this time, a gentle and familiar voice sounded, and Luo Qingluan's eyes lit up.
"The King of Chu is loyal, and he conquered North Vietnam for the sake of Western Chu, how could he rebel!" This is the second prince Nangong Yu!
"This time and that time."
Luo Qingluan could hear that this was the voice of Song Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War. He continued: "Now, the killing of Prince Xiao is the best proof of this! β
Xiao Yuqi was killed, Luo Qingluan had already heard Nangong Qing mention it, and at that time she thought that Xiao Yuqi had annoyed Nalan Ye, which caused this kind of thing to happen. It's just that I don't know the situation at the time, and I can't guess at will, I want to wait for Nalan Ye to send back the news.
But now, Luo Qingluan's eyes flashed with surprise, and there was a bit of forbearance between his eyebrows. Even if Nalan Ye kills Xiao Yuqi, the purpose cannot be to covet Dongwan's country, it is impossible for him to do such a thing, at least not now!
Spread one by one, and spread falsely!
Song Qian was full of confidence, and his tone was very angry: "If he didn't want to control Dongwan, why did he kill Xiao Yuqi, who was already seriously injured?" Here's the best explanation! β
Nangong Qing rubbed his swollen eyebrows weakly, and he had a headache.
What should he say? Knowing that Nalan Ye was innocent, he was ...... He couldn't refute Song Qian's words!
He, the king of a country, is it very useless? I can't even maintain my best friend! Amusing!
"Your Majesty, the King of Chu's personality is obvious to all, and we can't speculate because of the news from Dongwan!" Nangong Yu's tone was full of anxiety, obviously he was also terrified by Song Qian's words.
In the imperial study, the voices of opposition and approval are divided evenly. Although some of them are jealous of Nalan Ye, but where is his ability, they have to choose to believe.
"You guys, I don't know who to trust anymore!" The most tangled person is Nangong Qing, he is the king of a country! He naturally believed that Nalan Ye would not rebel, but as a monarch, he had to listen to the thoughts of his ministers.
The stakes are very high, if you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid that he will be chewed behind his back again, and he will favor Nalan Ye, right? So it's really hard for him to do.
"This princess doesn't know that the king of Chu has rebelled!" Uncontrollable anger for a moment, Luo Qingluan directly pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Nangong Qing's stunned gaze, she saluted: "No offense, I hope you understand." β
Several ministers looked at Luo Qingluan coldly, and there was no longer the respect in their eyes. If it weren't for Luo Qingluan's trust in the Queen Mother and the Empress, they wouldn't be kind to a woman!
"No problem." The moment Nangong Qing saw Luo Qingluan come in, his eyes became clear. He looked at Luo Qingluan with some joy, his throat moved, and he never made a sound.
"Qingluan is willing to use his life as a guarantee, Nalan Ye will definitely not betray Xichu!"
In the imperial study, Luo Qingluan stood proudly in the pile of men, looking at Nangong Qing without squinting, with an indifferent look in his eyes. She slowly swept over the ministers, a subtle sneer on her lips.
Her man can't allow these half-cut people to point fingers!
As soon as Luo Qingluan's words came out, everyone was silent. Several ministers frowned, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Princess Chu, is this true?" Song Qian turned around and faced Luo Qingluan, the disdain in his eyes was fully revealed.
