Nangong's family buried Nangong Yin quickly, and then left the royal capital with their family.
On the day she left the royal capital, Mrs. Hou learned that the whole family was leaving, but Nangong Xin herself had no intention of leaving. The idea was clearly hers, but she herself had no intention of leaving the royal capital.
Mrs. Hou was extremely puzzled and asked Nangong Xin, "Sister, you don't come with us? Why?"
Nangong Xin looked at her, "Sister-in-law, I won't leave. I am the queen of Chu Rong. If he doesn't depose me, I will be the queen of Nan Chu. I won't go to the great Wei Dynasty."
Madam Hou said: "In his heart, I'm afraid he has never acknowledged you."
"So what? I was also a matchmaker and hired six people, and he joined the palace." Nangong Xin said: "Even if I die, I will die in the palace."
Mrs. Hou wanted to persuade her again, "Sister..."
"Sister-in-law, just leave. The ancestral graves of the Nangong family are all left in Nanchu. There must be someone to take care of them." Nangong Xin said: "I am the right person. I will not leave even if I die."
Mrs. Hou's eyes were red, "Then, let's go."
Nangong Xin nodded, "I have sent someone to send a message to Brother Zheng. He is a smart boy. He should know that this is the best way to protect him. He will send someone to deal with you."
Mrs. Hou nodded, "Okay."
She stepped forward and shook Nangong Xin's cold hand, "Sister, take care."
"Sister-in-law, take care." Nangong Xin held her hand.
The Nangong clan, with their great family and business, left the royal capital in a row with dozens of carriages and hundreds of people.
On the day they left the royal capital, the government and the public were shaken. All the civil and military officials were a little panicked. First, they left the Prime Minister's Mansion at night in a low-key manner. Now, the Nangong clan has left the royal capital after burying Nangong Yin. What should they do?
There are mansions that have good relations with the Nangong family and have already received the letter sent by the Nangong family. Some people quickly packed up their belongings and left with the Nangong family's motorcade. Some people struggled and stayed.
Those who left had no clue and were worried about the future. Those who stayed were also worried, fearing that the king would return to the capital and settle accounts with them.
The officials of the Prime Minister's Office and the royalists, who had been suppressed by the Nangong family, all felt their heads light up, feeling that the future was bright and there was hope. But the neutral faction has a calm mentality. No matter which of the two families wins or loses, it has nothing to do with them.
Nangong Xin sent her mother off and returned to the empty palace. She sat in front of the steps of the bedroom that she had occupied since King Nanchu left. She sat there for most of an hour.
It wasn't until the eldest maid who was waiting at her side urged her three times with a white face that she stood up with help from someone who was cold, and said to her: "Cui He, let me let you out of the palace!"
Cui He shook his head, "Queen, I will accompany you."
"How many years have you been with me? It's time to live for yourself for the rest of your life." Nangong Xin said.
Cui He's eyes were red and she said, "I will accompany you throughout my life, live with you, and die with you."
Nangong Xin sighed, "My whole life has been a joke. If you stay with me, you will ruin your own life."
"My slave is willing." Cui He shook his head. "My slave is not going anywhere. If I don't leave, I will stay with you. After this life is over, I will follow you in the next life. I beg you, please don't drive me away."
Nangong Xin smiled sincerely, "It doesn't matter, Chu Rong won't bury me with him after I die anyway. If you can accompany me, I won't be too lonely alone."
Cui He felt uncomfortable, "Queen..."
"Don't cry. What's there to cry about? I've expected this day." Nangong Xin said.
Cui He swallowed back her tears and said, "You have been blowing the cold wind for so long. I will ask you to prepare water for you to take a bath. Quickly drive away the cold air."
"That's fine. I can't die early. I still have to wait for Chu Rong to come back. Even if he doesn't come back, his daughter will come." Nangong Xin nodded.
Cuihe immediately gave the order.
Nangong Yin was killed, and everyone in the Nangong clan moved out of the palace. The news soon spread to the royal capital.
The Nangong clan members scattered throughout Southern Chu were grieved and panicked. The three young masters, Nangong Le, Nangong Zhuo, and Nangong Xi, spent more than two months traveling from the royal capital to the border of Dawei and then to the border of Daliang. They intercepted and intercepted many times. After failing to kill the King of Nanchu and Zhou Gu, the three of them joined forces with the King of Liu'an and forced the people into the Death Valley of Wanren Mountain. This was a sure thing, but Su Rong still saved the people.
The three of them felt shameless, and after the situation was over, they took most of the hidden guards with them and planned to return to the capital to plead guilty to Nangong Yin, but unexpectedly, they got the news that Nangong Yin had been killed.
The three of them suddenly panicked and gathered together to discuss what to do next. Unable to make up his mind for a moment, he went to Fengming Ridge to help Nangong Yun and seek advice on the way.
Nangong Yun and Ye Guixue's soldiers met. He was a general who led the army. The two sides were equally matched in strength, but Nangong Yun took the lead and occupied a favorable terrain. For a time, it was difficult to determine the outcome.
Because the beating was so intense, Nangong Yun didn't know the news of Nangong Yin's murder. It wasn't until the three young masters came to Fengming Ridge and told the news that Nangong Yun was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.
Everyone knew what Nangong Yin's murder meant to the Nangong clan, even the three-year-old child in the Nangong clan probably knew it.
"How is this possible?" This was the first thought that came to Nangong Yun's mind. He couldn't believe that if his eldest brother was so easy to be killed, he would have been assassinated by Ye Xiang long ago after so many years.
"It's true." Nangong Lechen said sadly: "We didn't believe it when we first got the news, but there have been several pieces of news coming from the royal capital, so no one can believe it."
Nangong Le handed several letters he received to Nangong Yun, "Second uncle, please read them."
Nangong Yun opened the letters with trembling hands, one letter, two letters, and three letters... a total of five letters, all talking about this matter. His face turned pale and he murmured: "How could this happen..."
"Xie Yuan has sneaked into Nanchu a long time ago, probably earlier than Zhou Gu from the Protector's Palace came to Nanchu. He came here for the Marquis. After he came to Nanchu, he kept silent and waited for the opportunity. "Nangong Xi said: "Second uncle, it was our uselessness that failed to kill the king and Zhou Gu. Who would have thought that in the Death Valley of Wanren Mountain, the king and Zhou Gu were already trapped to death. She could kill them, but Su Rong came to save them with 50,000 soldiers and horses. Not only that, she also led a large number of secret guards herself, climbed down from the cliff of Wanren Mountain, and rescued them. King Liuan was captured. , all the soldiers and horses in his hands were surrendered, and when I saw that the situation was over, I had no choice but to fold and leave."
Nangong Yun's face changed again, "Is King Liu'an over?"
"It's over, he himself fell into the hands of Su Rong, and both the king and Zhou Gu were rescued." Nangong Zhuo said with certainty: "Second uncle, we came to you to discuss countermeasures."
