In the Nanchu Palace, Nangong Yin waited for an hour outside the Nanchu Palace, but did not hear the communication inside.
He couldn't help but ask Li He, "Eunuch Li, what's going on with the king today? Haven't you gotten up yet?"
Li He nodded and replied respectfully: "Back to Mr. Nangong, Your Majesty has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently. He didn't go to bed until almost four o'clock last night, and then he slept for less than two hours. Today, the court will be closed. Let Your Majesty sleep a little longer. Bar?"
Nangong Yin frowned, "What happened last night? I heard that Ye Guixue entered the palace late at night to disturb the king?"
Li He looked around and whispered: "It seems to be about the matter of the princess. The king sent the old slave out, leaving only the second young master at night to talk secretly. The old slave didn't know what the two talked about. He only heard a voice, It’s definitely about the princess.”
Nangong Yin lowered his face and thought to himself, could it be that Su Rong has really come to Nanchu? As soon as he arrived in Nanchu, he picked on the Nangong family and provoked him? And he sent Nangong Xi, Nangong Zhuo, Nangong Le and the secret guards, but they still couldn't kill Su Rong?
He immediately decided to go back to find someone to discuss and must stop Su Rong outside the royal capital and kill her. If she couldn't be killed, he would have no choice but to use troops.
He made a decision and nodded to Li He, "In that case, let the king sleep a little longer! After all, it's not easy to have a day off."
Li He respectfully should be.
Nangong Yin left the Nanchu King's chamber and walked outside the palace.
Li He watched him leave the palace, put away the respectful expression on his face, and thought to himself that the king knew Lord Nangong well enough to know that Lord Nangong would become impatient as long as he mentioned the princess, and would not force him to go back in a hurry and think about it again. Countermeasures.
He sneered in his heart, Nangong Yin must not know that the king has already left the royal capital. When he knows, it will be difficult to find someone. After all, even he does not know where the king went after leaving the royal capital.
So, in the palace of Nanchu King, Li He blocked all the courtiers who wanted to see him on behalf of King Nanchu on the pretext of resting.
In the afternoon, most of the day later, Queen Nan Chu came to King Nan Chu's palace to see King Nan Chu.
Li He said with neither humility nor arrogance: "Queen, the king has told me that he will have a rest today and will not see anyone."
The queen looked at Li He coldly and said, "I have something important to do with the king. You can pass it on."
Li He shook his head and said, "Queen, there is no point in passing the message. Please don't embarrass me. Lord Nangong and Prime Minister Ye have not seen the king today."
The queen frowned, "Your Majesty, you don't see anyone. You didn't even pass on breakfast and lunch today. You locked yourself in the palace. What happened?"
Li He sighed, "The king said he didn't want to eat it."
The queen didn't believe it, "In the past five years, there hasn't been a day when the king didn't pay attention to taking care of his body."
Li He lowered his voice helplessly and said: "Last night, the second young master came into the palace late at night to discuss important matters with the king. After the second young master left, the king took a long time to rest. The queen has not known for this period of time that the king has actually died. There are days when I don’t have a good meal and I don’t sleep well at night.”
The queen suddenly became sharp, "Your Majesty, is it because of Su Rong? Last night when Guixue entered the palace, was it also because of Su Rong?"
Li He lowered his head in silence, "Queen, why don't you come back tomorrow? The king is in a bad mood today."
The queen's chest and abdomen swelled for a moment, as if suppressing her anger, she stared at the tightly closed door of King Nan Chu's palace, flicked her sleeves, turned around and got on the chariot again.
Li He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one else could break in. He was really afraid that the queen would break in. Although the king had not set foot in the harem for many years, the queen was still the queen.
In the evening, Li He took advantage of his usual meal time and passed a dinner inside.
The dinner meal was passed in and came out unchanged. News was passed out from the palace that the king had not eaten a drop of rice today.
Nangong got the news and smiled, "Chu Rong is really worried about his good daughter."
Privately, Nangong Yin now doesn't even call him the king anymore.
The staff suggested, "Sir, mobilize the troops!"
"Wait a minute. Although my troops seem to be slightly better now, I'm afraid that Ye Yu has a back-up plan. That old guy, Ye Xiang, is as cunning as a fox, and he has a son who is also scheming. There are many people." Nangong Yin said: "It is better to send another group of people and be sure to kill Su Rong. As long as you kill Su Rong, you will win half the battle."
Although the staff wanted to persuade him again, he felt that what Nangong Yin said was reasonable, so he nodded, "My lord, that's what you said."
So, with the cooperation of Eunuch Li, the King of Nanchu was fooled for a whole day.
In the evening, after Ye Guixue had dinner, she went to Ye Xiang's study and confessed to Ye Xiang that the King of Nan Chu had left the palace and left the capital last night.
After hearing this, Ye Xiang's eyes widened. For a long time, he looked at Ye Guixue in shock and anger, "Asshole, you actually hid such a big thing from me?"
Ye Guixue said calmly: "Father, calm down, if I don't hide it from you, will you agree?"
Ye Xiang was dumbfounded. Naturally, he would not agree. He felt that it would be much more dangerous to leave the capital than to stay in the palace. The power of the Nangong family was spread almost all over Nanchu. As long as Nangong Yin gave an order, the power of the Nangong family in various places would unite to find the king and kill him. He felt that it would be much easier than if the king stayed in the palace.
The more Ye Xiang thought about it, the angrier he became, "Where do you place Ye Xiang's Mansion? Do you still take me as your father into consideration?"
Ye Guixue said warmly: "Father, the king agrees."
Ye Xiang suddenly became even more annoyed, "You...you really want to make me angry to death."
"I've been hiding it for a day today, and I can probably hide it for another night. No one can imagine that the king will leave the palace and the capital. One day and one night is enough for Zhou Gu to take the king far away." Ye Guixue said again. .
"Zhou Gu, Zhou Gu, Zhou Gu again." Ye Xiang almost jumped, "Zhou Gu, yellow-haired boy, why does he make you believe that he can protect the king?"
"Based on the fact that he has the marriage letter written by the princess in his hand, he is the husband chosen by the princess herself." Ye Guixue said: "Father, we have no other choice but to trust Zhou Gu, support the princess, and also return the favor. We must fight for the king with the Nangong family and Liu'an King's faction to the end, otherwise, our Ye Xiang Mansion will be in danger of overthrowing. No matter who succeeds in the end, Nangong Yin or Liu'an King, our Ye Xiang Mansion is in their hands. Neither of them will end well."
Ye Xiang's face turned livid, "So, you just give up? Give up the position of the king's husband to others?"
"It's not about letting, it's because the son failed to win the heart of the princess. He made a mistake and had no room for maneuver." Ye Guixue said: "But the son does not want to be the prince's husband, but he can be the prince's auxiliary minister and support the prince in the future. Sheng Nanchu, Prosper the country. We can also keep the Ye Xiang Mansion prosperous and undefeated forever. The Ye Prime Minister Mansion has no choice, but my son has a choice."
Ye Xiang's anger subsided by half, but he still felt irritated, "This move is too risky!"
Dear babies, monthly pass, okay?
