Chapter 59: Found Out

Chapter 59: Found Out

"Don't worry, my master and Uncle Bing have already gone there and will definitely help you find the Void Grass."

Nangong Jing looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's weak appearance, and a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes.

In his previous life, Xuanyuan Xingyao became the youngest war king on the Dragon Shadow Continent.

How could I possibly become a useless person in this life?

Nangong Jing couldn't imagine what would happen if Xuanyuan Xingyao really couldn't practice anymore.

How desperate he must be, how can he survive with his pride?

A trace of loneliness quickly flashed across Xuanyuan Xing's dazzling eyes.

Even on the surface, Xuanyuan Xingyao believed what the emperor, empress and others said.

He believed that Bing Linxuan would definitely bring back the Void Grass and repair his meridians, but Xuanyuan Xingyao was still panicked in his heart.

Nangong Jing looked at the loneliness that appeared on Xuanyuan Xingyao's face.

He pursed his lips in annoyance, thinking that he was not good at speaking. Why did he bring up the meridians for no reason?

"Your Highness, who do you think poisoned you this time? I heard the Emperor was furious today and ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate your poisoning as quickly as possible. He also said that if they don't find a result within three days, they will chop off their heads."

In fact, Nangong Jing was most suspicious of the imperial concubine.

First of all, the imperial concubine has spent almost as much time in the palace as the empress, so her influence must be considerable.

Secondly, the imperial concubine hates Xuanyuan Xingyao and has every motive.

Thirdly, the person who wants to attack the Queen and the Crown Prince the most in the palace is the Imperial Concubine.

Therefore, Nangong Jing felt that it was reasonable and logical that the imperial concubine was the most suspicious.

"There are many people in the palace who want to kill me, but there are only a few who hate me the most. If it is really them, the end result will most likely be to push forward a scapegoat."

Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't think that the emperor would kill the mothers of other children for him.

Although Xuanyuan Xingyao was almost dying, he didn't die in the end, right?

Of course, if Xuanyuan Xingyao’s meridians were really destroyed because of this, he would no longer be able to practice.

Given the emperor's personality, he might really execute the person behind the scenes.

"Your Highness, please don't say that. The Emperor loves you the most."

In fact, Nangong Jing agreed with Xuanyuan Xingyao's words in his heart. After all, this was what the emperor did in his previous life.

It’s just that Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao didn’t know each other in their previous life, so they didn’t have much feeling.

And now Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao are already good friends.

The suffering Xuanyuan Xingyao endured this time was much greater than in his previous life.

If the emperor still lets the person behind the scenes go, then Nangong Jing will really feel sorry for the queen and Xuanyuan Xingyao.

Nangong Jing really wanted to stay with Xuanyuan Xingyao for a while longer, but after dark, Nangong Jing had to go back to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner.

"You should stay and eat with me. It's boring to eat alone."

Xuanyuan Xingyao saw Nangong Jing preparing to return to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner, so he tried to persuade him to stay.

It is true that it is boring to dine alone, but the real reason why Xuanyuan Xingyao wanted to keep Nangong Jing was that he felt very comfortable staying with Nangong Jing, so he wanted him to spend more time with him.

Nangong Jing didn't want to leave, but the meal times in the palace were regulated.

If he didn't go back, he would have no food to eat. Now that Xuanyuan Xingyao invited him to have dinner together, Nangong Jing naturally agreed without thinking.

Xuanyuan Xingyao was already able to get out of bed and eat.

But he had just vomited blood today, so not only Nangong Jing, but even Eunuch Li didn't dare to let Xuanyuan Xingyao get out of bed.

Therefore, under the "forced" pleading of Nangong Jing and Eunuch Li, Xuanyuan Xingyao finally ate his meal in bed.

Nangong Jing didn't want to embarrass Xuanyuan Xingyao, so under the surprised gaze of Eunuch Li, he took off his shoes and climbed onto Xuanyuan Xingyao's bed.

The two of them sat around a low table and had a simple yet warm dinner.

Eunuch Li saw Xuanyuan Xingyao and found that he ate much more today than in the previous few days. The look he gave Nangong Jing was extremely kind, and he even hoped that Nangong Jing could come over every day.

After Nangong Jing finished his meal, he chatted with Xuanyuan Xingyao for a while.

It was not until he decided not to go back and the keys to each palace were about to be handed over that he reluctantly got up and returned to Zhaoyang Palace.

"Your Highness, if you like Young Master Nangong to accompany you, I will go and invite him tomorrow. Will Young Master Nangong come and accompany you?"

Eunuch Li waited on Xuanyuan Xingyao, gave him a simple wash, and then carefully helped him lie down. As he covered him with the quilt, he asked tentatively.

Xuanyuan Xingyao looked up at Eunuch Li. His eyes were calm, but they frightened Eunuch Li a little.

He even began to reflect on whether he had said something wrong, which made Xuanyuan Xingyao unhappy.

"There's no need to specially call Nangong over. He still has classes to attend. There's no need for him to delay his studies for me." Xuanyuan Xingyao said calmly but seriously.

Eunuch Li somewhat disagreed with Xuanyuan Xingyao's words. As a study companion, the most important thing was to accompany the prince.

How can letting Nangong Jing come to accompany Xuanyuan Xingyao mean that it will delay his studies?

But since Xuanyuan Xingyao had spoken, Eunuch Li had no choice but to obey.

After all, although Xuanyuan Xingyao is young, he acts in a very methodical manner.

He may be very gentle to his servants on weekdays, but if you disobey his orders or do something wrong.

Then Xuanyuan Xingyao's attitude will become very severe. Although the means of punishment are not cruel, they will be unforgettable.

Eunuch Li did not go to find Nangong Jing, but Nangong Jing came to Zhaochun Palace to visit Xuanyuan Xingyao as soon as the morning class was over.

When Xuanyuan Xingyao saw Nangong Jing, he didn't say anything, but his eyes brightened up a lot.

When Eunuch Li saw Nangong Jing, he came over without him even calling him. His favorable impression of Nangong Jing was growing rapidly.

I think Nangong Jing is very conscientious, and it’s worth it that Xuanyuan Xingyao is so nice to him on a daily basis.

"I'm here to have a free meal with you again. I hope you won't be unwelcome." Nangong Jing said in a deliberately mean tone.

But with that face of his, which still has a little baby fat, he looks so cute no matter how you look at him.

Xuanyuan Xingyao's eyes, as deep as the stars, were filled with smiles.

He didn't say anything, but just patted his bed and motioned Nangong Jing to come up.

We climbed here once yesterday, and we were rude to them yesterday, so we will naturally be even more rude today.

He swung his feet left and right, threw his shoes away, and climbed up coolly.

Nangong Jing stayed in Xuanyuan Xingyao's bed for the whole afternoon today.

After the two of them had lunch at noon, Nangong Jing originally wanted to sit down beside the bed and talk to Xuanyuan Xingyao again, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Xingyao.

According to Xuanyuan Xingyao, the bed is so big and Nangong Jing is so small and doesn't take up much space, so he should just stay on the bed. It would be troublesome for him to climb up and down.

In the end, the two of them talked and somehow fell asleep.

By the time Eunuch Li reacted, the two were already sleeping soundly with their heads touching.

"Why is Nangong Qishao here, and..."

Xuanyuan Leng was concerned about Xuanyuan Xingyao's injury and came to visit him almost every day, and today was no exception.

What Xuanyuan Leng didn't expect was that after he entered the room, he didn't see his well-behaved brother, but his brother and Nangong Jing sleeping head to head. This...

"Young Master Nangong has been here these past few days to accompany the Seventh Prince. Because the Seventh Prince is not in good health to get out of bed, they both eat in bed. After dinner today, the Seventh Prince asked Young Master Nangong not to go downstairs. The two of them were chatting and fell asleep, probably because they were sleepy." Eunuch Li explained to Xuanyuan Leng.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Leng looked very calm, but he was somewhat shocked and surprised in his heart.

After all, he knew very well how cold and arrogant Xuanyuan Xingyao was, and he was also very wary of outsiders.

I didn't expect that she was actually willing to eat and sleep with Nangong Jing on the bed. It was really hard for Xuanyuan Leng not to be shocked.

However, Xuanyuan Leng was still very pleased that his younger brother had a good friend.

He lowered his voice and instructed Eunuch Li, "I came here just to see if Seventh Brother is feeling better. Since he's already asleep, don't wake him up. I'll come back later."

"Yes, Your Highness." Eunuch Li replied respectfully.

Xuanyuan Leng was very happy that his seventh brother had a good friend.

But at this time, Xuanyuan Leng could never have imagined that more than ten years later, the two of them would become so "good" to each other.

As soon as Xuanyuan Leng left Zhaochun Palace, he was called over by the emperor.

When Xuanyuan Leng arrived at the imperial study, he found that the queen was there too, and he immediately put away all the smiles on his face.

The Queen was very obedient to the rules, and even as the legal wife she was allowed to come to the Imperial Study.

But unless there is something big, she will definitely abide by the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics and will not set foot in the imperial study.

The most likely reason why the queen appeared in the imperial study at this time was because of Xuanyuan Xingyao's matter.

"Meet the Emperor, meet the Queen Mother."

Xuanyuan Leng first bowed to the two of them, and after the emperor called him up, he quietly walked to the emperor's side and stood there.

"The person who poisoned Yao'er has been caught."

After Xuanyuan Leng came over, the emperor didn't say any pleasantries, but directly told them the reason why he asked them to come over today.

Even though the Queen and Xuanyuan Leng had already guessed it, they were still shocked when the Emperor actually said it.

The queen subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand to ease the anger in her heart.

"Father, who poisoned my seventh brother?"

Xuanyuan Leng is young after all and not calm enough.

When he heard that they had found out who poisoned Xuanyuan Xingyao, he became restless.

"On the surface, it's Consort Hui."

When the emperor said this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.

The emperor felt that some people really thought he was a fool.

Concubine Hui had no children, no favors, and even an average family background, but she was able to reach out to the palace banquet and poison Xuanyuan Xingyao.

"It seems that some people think that as long as there is a "murderer", it's enough. Your Majesty doesn't care whether it is true or false." The Queen said sarcastically.

As to whether it was a satire on the person behind the scenes or on the emperor, only she herself knew.

"Father, who is the real person who poisoned me?" Xuanyuan Leng asked anxiously.

"Leng'er, you're too impetuous. Remember, you're the crown prince, the future king. No matter what happens, you must remain calm and keep a clear head."

The emperor did not immediately answer Xuanyuan Leng's words, but instead taught him.

After hearing the emperor's teachings, Xuanyuan Leng also reacted and slowly regained his former wisdom and calmness.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction at seeing Xuanyuan Leng recover so quickly.

The emperor would not blame Xuanyuan Leng for his impetuousness just now.

First of all, Xuanyuan Leng is still young, so it is normal that he is not calm yet.

Secondly, Xuanyuan Leng is a sentimental person, and this time Xuanyuan Xingyao almost died, so it is not surprising that he is anxious to know who is behind the scenes.

"It was Imperial Concubine Wan who did it, but Imperial Concubine Liao and Imperial Concubine Xin also helped."

The emperor originally thought that it was just the imperial concubine, but he didn't expect that there were so many people in his palace who wanted Xuanyuan Xingyao dead.

The Queen and Xuanyuan Leng had long guessed that the person behind the scenes was closely related to the Imperial Concubine.

Therefore, when they heard that it was the imperial concubine who did it, the two were not surprised.

But when they heard that Concubine Liao and Concubine Xin had also made a move, their expressions changed quickly. They didn't understand what Concubine Liao and Concubine Xin were trying to do.
