Emperor Dongling closed his eyes.
"Just now, Xiao Jiuer spoke to me. Isn't a baby who just turned one month old special enough?"
Nangong Honglie was unsure what Nangong Jiu had said to the emperor, so he knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty..."
"Get up. Judging from your expressions, you should also know how special the child is."
Nangong Honglie stood up.
Emperor Dongling thought about what Nangong Jiu said, veins bulged on his forehead, his teeth clenched with a "clack" sound, and his fists were clenched so hard that the knuckles turned white.
Don't worry about the embarrassment and tell the truth.
"Xiao Jiuer just told me that the eldest prince Liu Heng is not my own flesh and blood, and that he and his mother will soon join forces to poison me and ascend the throne.
Before, we always thought that they were just fighting for the throne by any means necessary.
If what Xiao Jiuer said is true, they are not fighting for the throne, but are plotting to seize the Liu family's kingdom. They want to change the dynasty and are traitors who are robbing the country!"
Hearing this, Nangong Honglie's face was filled with horror.
"Jiu'er really said that?"
Emperor Dongling gritted his teeth and nodded.
Nangong Honglie calmly reminded: "This matter is of no small importance, we must take it seriously.
To be honest, I didn't tell you the whole truth about Xue'er before.
The reason why Xue'er and her daughter were able to survive was actually because Jiu'er reminded her to escape in the middle of the night, and it was Jiu'er who reminded her to block our way.
Jiuer has the ability to predict the future, she is giving us a warning."
Nangong Honglie paused and looked at Emperor Dongling's expression.
"The eldest prince is not your flesh and blood? Then whose son is he? This is confusing the royal bloodline!
I see!
Now everything makes sense. They are playing a big game for us.
We have also heard Jiuer say something similar. She said that I would be torn into pieces by five horses and my entire family would be executed before the end of the month for treason and collaborating with the enemy.
Your Majesty, we, and everyone who stands in their way, must die!"
Emperor Dongling slammed his palm on the jade table.
"What a joke! Your family has been guarding the border for years, sacrificing their lives and blood, and making great contributions to the peace of Dongling Kingdom.
If you want to collaborate with the enemy and betray your country, then what are your ancestors doing guarding the bitter cold frontier?"
Nangong Honglie and Nangong Yunsheng knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!
We are so sorry for you. After listening to Jiuer's words, I thought you wanted to destroy my entire family..."
"Get up! It's normal for you to think this way in this situation.
We should quickly discuss how to resolve this crisis."
Kunning Palace.
The news of Nangong Honglie and his family entering the palace soon reached the ears of Empress Chen and Liu Hao.
"Madam Chen, are you ready with the things you asked me to prepare last night?"
"Don't worry, Madam. I prepared it last night."
Liu Hao used his inner strength to push the wheelchair towards his bedroom.
"Hao'er!" Queen Chen thought he was going to escape again and called out hurriedly.
"Don't worry, mother. I'm just going back to the bedroom to get some things as a gift for Xue'er's child."
Empress Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Then go quickly and come back soon!"
Liu Hao returned to the bedroom and sat alone for a long time. He came to his senses when he heard the footsteps of the palace servants.
A box was taken out from the secret cabinet beside the bed. The box was filled with jewelry that girls aged a few to ten years old liked.
I found these when I was looking for Xueer a few years ago. I bought them because I thought Xueer would like them.
Now, I am giving it to her daughter. I have nothing to ask for. I just hope that they can live a happy and smooth life for the rest of their lives.
Inside the main hall.
Chu Ruoyan brought her family of women and children to pay their respects to Empress Chen.
Empress Chen waved her hand: "No need to be so polite, please sit down!"
After the family sat down, he smiled and said, "Madam, I haven't seen you for a while. You look good."
"Yes, I am now able to eat and run, and I am very strong. Your Majesty, you are still as graceful as before."
Empress Chen smiled and looked at the children: "In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up so much and are so well-developed."
After saying that, he turned his gaze towards Nangong Yunxue and her daughter.
"Xue'er, you've grown up!"
Nangong Yunxue held Nangong Jiu in her arms, took a few steps forward, and knelt down to salute.
"Xue'er greets the Queen!
I haven't seen you for many years. Is your majesty doing well?"
Empress Chen personally raised Nangong Xue up.
"I'm fine, but you, girl, have suffered a lot outside.
I remember seeing her during the Full Moon Festival that year. Ten years have passed in a flash, and the little girl back then is now a mother."
He reached out and took Nangong Jiu: "This child is really good-looking, quite similar to you when you were a child, and dressed festively."
"My Lady, she was born on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Xue'er named her Nangong Jiu and calls her Jiu'er. Daddy has already entered her into the family tree."
Empress Chen nodded: "Very good! General Nangong is very thoughtful. Now you and your daughter can live a dignified life in the capital."
Empress Chen teased Nangong Jiu while calling out, "Hurry up and sit down, don't stand."
Nangong Jiu, who was in Queen Chen's arms, stared at the Queen for a long time and pursed his lips.
[In a few days, the Empress will be poisoned to death by Concubine Xue, who ate a bowl of red date, lotus seed, and bird's nest porridge.]
After the death of the Emperor and Empress, they were thrown into a mass grave. One of the two princes was skinned and his tendons removed, then chopped into a paste and fed to dogs, while the other was made into dried meat and hung on the city wall to dry in the wind and sun.
【What a tragic death for the whole family! 】
Queen Chen, who was being criticized, was stunned on the spot.
He stared at the expression on Nangong Jiu's face and saw that he looked sympathetic, which confirmed his guess.
Jiuer is reminding me!
There was a gleam of determination in Empress Chen's eyes. You can harm me, but if you harm my child, do you really think I'm made of clay?
After Nangong Jiu finished complaining, he sighed.
Alas, they are so powerful and they can’t do anything about it, so what can I, a little baby, do?
Forget it, just eat and wait for death!
The sooner he died, the sooner he would be reborn. It would be just right for him to return to heaven earlier and cause trouble to those old guys. Nangong Jiu blew a bubble of milk and closed his eyes, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
When Empress Chen came to her senses and looked at Nangong Jiu in her arms again, she saw that she had her eyes closed as if she was asleep.
He kissed Nangong Jiu's little face with pity and gratitude.
"Madame Chen, bring it here!"
Nanny Chen came over with a tray containing a heavy golden locket symbolizing good luck and longevity, a set of jeweled head ornaments, and some small ornaments.
Empress Chen took the longevity lock and put it on Nangong Jiu's neck: "Jiu'er, may you have a peaceful life!"
The Empress personally presented the longevity lock, what an honor!
Chu Ruoyan brought her whole family to pay their respects.
Empress Chen smiled and shook her head: "Jiu'er is a child that I really like."
As he spoke, he waved to the children and gave each of them a small ornament. Finally, he put the jewel headpiece into a box and stuffed it into Nangong Yunxue's hand.
"I think this headdress suits you, so I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nangong Yunxue's body was supported as she bowed down. Empress Chen smiled and pointed to the side entrance of the hall with her chin.
"Xue'er, look, who's here?"
