Dragon King Order Chapter 23(1/3)

Go to Beijing

"Running?" After hearing this, Empress Dowager Nan suddenly put the cup in her hand on the table, and a look of frustration and anger flashed across her face.

"It's all waste!"

Even though she was calmer, her face was gloomy at this moment.

The person who came to report shrank his neck in fear.

"Empress Dowager, don't be angry, the court still needs to rely on you." Seeing this, Lin Shanggong on the side stepped forward and whispered to comfort him.

"…..." Empress Dowager Nan leaned tiredly on the stool behind her, her eyebrows tightly frowned.

Lin Shanggong looked at Empress Dowager Nan's appearance and raised his hand to rub the acupoint on her head. At the same time, a faint light flashed in his eyes and said softly: "Empress Dowager, the Duke of the State has also taken a hasty and risky this time. Now the complaints that impeached him in the court cannot be suppressed. It is second to not catch Princess Yu'an."

"Then what you said is important." Empress Dowager Nan was extremely tired and allowed Lin Shanggong to relieve her painful head.

"The most important thing is that rumors are everywhere now. The plague was said to be because the Duke besieged the city and forced the people to hand over the Princess Yu'an to leave the city, which led to a shortage of food, grass and medicine for the people in the city, and could not bury the soldiers who died in battle, which caused the plague to arise. Later, the city was not strong enough, allowing the people of Yunzhou to run out, which caused the surrounding prefectures and counties to follow." Lin Shanggong sighed deeply, and said with a worried look on his face.

"The Duke of the State forced the troops to mobilize his troops, but he returned in vain. I am afraid that the voices of opposing the court will not be suppressed. Can he still beat the adults who oppose them like before?"

Empress Dowager Nan frowned and then said a little irritated: "Feiyan is becoming more and more ignorant. Fortunately, he will immediately prepare a plague prescription for the epidemic this time. Otherwise, the Ai family would not be able to suppress the people in the court."

Lin Shanggong shook his head, as if he was puzzled: "I don't know what happened to the Duke of the State. He had completely changed his mind to his previous steadiness. He looked so deeply and very hatred, but he really didn't look like him."

"You don't understand... Back then, he and Su Lingniang were childhood sweethearts. He loved his wife the most. The Su family was buried in the hands of the devil. Although his wife was not implicated, the news that the whole family was culled was not something that a pregnant woman could withstand. Later, she went there shortly after giving birth to Nan Zhijing, and Feiyan's child changed at that time." Empress Dowager Nan sighed deeply.

"I have heard of this matter, but I am afraid that the Duke of the State is a bit out of control when he is targeting Mr. Qin like this. There are even rumors of him colluding with Japanese pirates. Queen Mother, you should persuade the Duke of the State to persuade him." Lin Shanggong said sincerely.

Empress Dowager Nan closed her eyes, her expression was gloomy and gloomy. She gently touched the cup in her hand with her fingertips, and then said lightly: "Yes."

Seeing that Empress Nan was not going to say too much, Lin Shanggong turned his eyes and said, "The Empress, she has always gone to the East Palace recently, but His Majesty does not want to see the Empress, so the Empress is a little quarrel, and the people below can't hold it..."

"After the queen tearing the painting Ming Lie for the emperor last time, she was increasingly unable to control her emotions." Empress Dowager Nan pulled the corners of her lips and said coldly: "The Ai family will go and see the good niece of the Ai family, how else will she make trouble!"

As she said that, she stood up and went out.

Lin Shanggong's eyes flashed, and then he immediately followed.

The Queen Mother Nan arrived at the Eastern Palace. Before she entered the door, she heard the heart-wrenching shouts and smashing of the door from inside: "Give me my child back, that beast killed my son, you still protect him, return my son, I curse you... I curse you unruly bastards who will die!"

The sharp voice made the Empress Dowager Nan's face change instantly. She looked coldly at the woman who was hysterical in the palace gate, messy in her hair, and the palace maids couldn't even hold on, and said coldly: "The queen is sick, why don't you send me back to Luanfeng Palace quickly!"

When Lin Shanggong heard this, he immediately looked at the eunuchs behind him: "I won't go yet!"

The Queen Mother Nan listened to the scolding of Nan Hou, and her eyebrows became more and more chilling: "Go to the Queen's mouth, don't let her lose her manners!"

"Yes!" The eunuchs did not dare to say much, and rushed out immediately. They stepped forward and forced Nanhou down. Then they took out the handkerchief from Nanhou's sleeve and stuffed her mouth directly.

Queen Nan struggled hard, staring at the Queen Mother tightly, her blood-scarlet eyes filled with light of blur and madness.

“Woo woo woo woo woo--!"

Empress Dowager Nan felt extremely uncomfortable when she was stabbed by her eyes, so she turned her face away and refused to look.

Soon, Nanhou was forcibly dragged away by the eunuchs.

The Empress Dowager Nan added coldly: "Let the imperial physicians treat the queen. She is mentally weak. She should not leave the palace for the time being. Rest in Luanfeng Palace!"

"Yes!" Lin Shanggong leaned over and said slightly.

Then, she looked at Empress Dowager Nan and said carefully: "Empress, since you have arrived here, don't you go see Your Majesty?"

When Empress Dowager Nan heard this, her expression froze slightly and she closed her eyes: "Yes."

Then, she carried the hem of her skirt step by step and entered the East Palace under the service of Madam Shen beside her.

Madam Shen looked at Lin Shanggong and saw that she was tactful and did not follow her, so she turned her gaze back with satisfaction.

When the Empress Dowager Nan takes power again, she and Madam Sun and the old madams who followed the Madam all the way up from the boudoir cannot be replaced by these younger aunts. They are the confidants of the Madam.

In the East Palace, a thin back stood quietly at the table, carrying a pen and painting, as if he had not heard someone coming in behind him.

"The Emperor..." Empress Dowager Nan looked at the emperor's back, a trace of unbearableness and sadness flashed in her eyes, and then looked at Lao Lu on the side and said angrily: "Why is Your Majesty so thin? How did you take care of Your Majesty!"

When Lao Lu heard this, he immediately knelt down and was frightened: "The Empress Dowager calmed down, it was the old slave who was not taking good care of him."

"It has nothing to do with Lao Lu. Heart disease still needs to be treated with heart medicine. If the mother is tired, she will go back early. It's cold weather, so it's hard for you to come here to see your son." Emperor Xingping clicked the brush in his hand, coughed softly, but still didn't turn around, but faced the window and continued to bow and paint.

A trace of injury flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother Nan, and then slowly stepped forward and saw the painting on the table. It was the map of the country that the Ming Lie girl gave to Emperor Xingping by the Shangshu. A tear fog gradually rose in her eyes: "The emperor complained to the Ai family in his heart, and the Ai family knew it, but you should also understand that if the evil animals are not eliminated, the family and the country will be peaceful, Qi'er..."

"Enough, Mother!" Emperor Xingping suddenly put the pen in his hand, straightened his hunched back, and turned his face coldly to look at her: "I don't want to hear you call the only bloodline of the emperor's sister a villain again. Sheng'er has never been sorry for the country. We owe him too much. How many times do you hope I will tell you that I don't believe that Qi'er was killed by him!"

"It wasn't him who killed him. Who else hopes that Qi'er will die? Who else can make a profit from it?" Empress Dowager Nan couldn't help but raise her voice and clenched her fists: "Emperor, why are you still obsessed with it!"

"Whoever can make a profit from it? Look at who is in power now. If you want to get the wind and rain, you will know who it is. With your hands to suppress the ministers, you will know who it is!" Scarlet hatred flashed in Emperor Xingping's eyes, his pale face and the sickly black green at the moment made him look very ferocious.

"Stop!" Empress Dowager Nan staggered for a moment, her face turned blue and red. The muscles on her face trembled slightly, and her voice became higher and higher, and she was so angry that she trembled all over: "You are getting more and more confused!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, please calm down!" Seeing this, Lao Lu knelt down again with a thud and kowtowed to the two of them, and everyone knelt down.

One is nearly fifty years old, the other is over fifty years old, and the two who are most respected in the dynasty are breathing together. The air is quiet, and no one dares to speak more and persuade them.

After a while, Emperor Xingping suddenly let out a long sigh and looked at Empress Dowager Nan: "My mother, you are old and your life is short, why should you be so persistent?"

After saying that, he turned around and stopped looking at Empress Dowager Nan, and raised his hand and wrote to draw the map of the country again.

When Empress Dowager Nan heard this, her heart trembled. She raised her hand and gently stroked her hair. She suddenly closed her eyes and blinked the tears in her eyes. She trembled her hands and gently stroked her hair: "Yes, the mother is old, but when will you be sensible?"

She knew that she was old, and her hair had almost turned white, and the wrinkles on her face made her look less like the well-maintained lady.

A woman is hardworking and old too quickly, let alone her offender is so disobedient to herself?!

She opened her eyes and looked at Emperor Xingping's unmoved back, and smiled vicissitudes: "Maybe, the Ai family really has no children. You all make the Ai family worry. This stubbornness and stubbornness are like your father, no, like the blood of the Qiu family."

After saying that, she turned around and helped Madam Shen on the side to slowly go out, her steps were old and slow.

Until the gate of the East Palace closed, Emperor Xingping did not look back. After the quietness of the East Palace was restored, he suddenly spoke: "Have Sheng'er and his young wife escaped?"

When Lao Lu heard this, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "What I heard from the other little eunuchs is that the princess and the third master both escaped from danger separately, but the old slave did not dare to disturb His Majesty with these things."

Then, he looked at the emperor with some curiosity: "How did you know, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Xingping raised his head slightly, looked out the window with snow, and said silence: "My mother will come to see me, but she still looks so angry. Except for Sheng'er and the others who escaped from danger, they will not think of them."

Lao Lu sighed: "Your Majesty, do you know that the Queen Mother is now ordering the royal family to send the birth date and portraits of the young princes who are of the right age and are close to blood?"

"Ha, I hate my relatives' bloodlines, so I would rather let the conjuncts inherit the Grand Principality? This is what the mother can do." Emperor Xingping curled up the corners of his lips sarcastically: "Cough cough cough... Speaking of stubbornness, who can compare with my mother's queen!"

As he said that, he suddenly felt extremely painful and lowered his head and coughed violently: "Cough cough cough...!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You must take care of the dragon body!" Lao Lu hurried forward and supported Emperor Xingping, but saw him rubbing the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, throwing the blood-stained handkerchief aside in the incense burner.

"Your Majesty... You must not suffer any more." Lao Lu was a little panicked and quickly took a pill and hot water to feed Emperor Xingping.

"I know that my tuberculosis will not be cured, but I will definitely live until I see Sheng'er and the others' safety. I am the lord of the world. I will never allow anyone to trample on my country and people!" Emperor Xingping pursed his thin lips weakly and gloomy.

At that moment, Lao Lu suddenly felt that Emperor Xingping's cold and firm expression was similar to that of Master Qin San.

He sighed deeply: "I believe in Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he looked at Feixue outside the window with a complicated look.

...

In the warm pavilion with flying eaves and brackets, the man in a brocade robe sat in a wheelchair raised his hand and looked at the snowflakes falling on his palms, and suddenly said lightly: "Have you gone to the East Palace again?"

"Yes, Prince." An old servant squatted in front of him and carefully added expensive silver charcoal to the exquisite small furnace in his wooden wheelchair.

Since Prince Lian was poisoned, even after detoxification, his body has become worse and worse, especially when the weather is cold, he can't stand up even if he moves, and his bones hurt.

"It's such a cold day, why don't you go to the south to avoid the cold?" The old servant sighed.

Prince Lian leaned back, raised his head slightly, and narrowed his eyes: "At this moment, when the wind was tight, how could I know the news if I went to the south?"

"The princess has escaped danger. Don't worry, the old lady of the Su family also knows the news. She has eaten an extra bowl of rice under house arrest." The old servant whispered.

"The ministers in the court are going to impeach him."

"Ha, that girl is really as clever as her mother, but she looks much luckier than her mother in this life." A gentle and weird smile appeared on the corner of Prince Lian's lips.

He paused and sighed softly: "As for Nan Feiyan, he is still a waste like he did decades ago, and is useless. It's like this today."

He sneered contemptuously.

The old servant didn't say anything, but carefully covered the snow-white fox fur blanket on Prince Lian's knees.

"Father!" A pleasant woman's voice suddenly rang outside the pavilion.

"Ling'er." Prince Lian looked at the beauty who came in and smiled kindly.

Qiu Nianling came in with a hot food box and smiled and said with a smile: "I heard that Xiaoyuer ran away today, and she was so angry that old man Nan was so angry that I was in a good mood. I specially cooked delicious dumplings for you."

When Prince Lian heard this, he looked at his daughter, and a trace of inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes, and he smiled gently: "Okay, let the father try my daughter's skills."

The father and daughter used dumplings intimately.

...

The sun rises and the moon sets, the sea breeze blows away the black clouds in the sky, gradually revealing the pure sky, and the golden light on the horizon.

"The wind and clouds in the blue sea move, and I can do it in the sky!"

Chu Yu took a deep breath of fresh air, stretched his waist, and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
