Nangong Yue's carriage was too eye-catching and was recognized as soon as it arrived.
Ah Cheng was the leader and he really hated Nangong Yue, so he was the first to shout loudly.
"Your Highness has been doing nothing at the border, but has locked up the prince who fought bravely against the enemy. How can this be justified in the world?"
Nangong Yue was so angry that he pointed directly at his nose.
"How can you, a lowly person like a frog in a well, know what I have done at the border? You will pay the price for lying!"
Ah Cheng was not afraid at all and stood with his chest straight.
"If Your Highness had not done it, there would be no rumors. Now that things have come to this, Your Highness still wants to hide the truth!"
Nangong Yue pointed at him, extremely angry.
"Someone, send this untouchable who is full of nonsense to the Dali Temple!"
"Now it seems that those rumors are not false. Your Highness dared to take action in front of so many people. It makes us feel disappointed!"
Ah Cheng sneered and let Nangong Yue's men pinch his shoulders.
"Your Highness, if you can't win with your words, do you want to use your status to pressure others? Then let everyone see what kind of person Your Highness is!"
At this moment, a rotten vegetable leaf flew onto Nangong Yue's head, and the rotten sour water flowed all over his face.
Nangong Yue was stunned.
"How dare you! Whoever threw it, catch him and put him in jail together!"
But soon more things came crashing down on him. Nangong Yue retreated step by step, his body covered with rotten vegetable leaves. He no longer had the dignity of a prince. He was so dirty that even a beggar would be stained by him.
Not as good as that.
"You should quickly calm public anger rather than provoke disputes."
Nangong Yue randomly pulled the leaves off his body and kicked the
The servants were also covered in bruises and were very nervous.
"Your Highness, the situation is unclear now. You can't force yourself to take the lead anymore." Attendant.
"roll!"
Nangong Yue was extremely angry, but he had to order people to release Ah Cheng, as the public outrage had not stopped.
He was so angry that he tried to comfort her with kind words.
In order to prevent the scandal from being exposed further, he had to endure it even though he couldn't bear it.
"Your Highness has heard of the people's wishes and is willing to write a petition to redress the injustice done to King Xiao. Please be patient!"
Nangong Yue rushed all the way to the palace. Inside the palace, Nangong Yan's hand was resting on his forehead, and one could faintly see the veins bulging at his temples.
There was a creaking sound as the palace door was pushed open and light and shadows came in from the gap.
He picked up the teacup on the table and threw it hard at Nangong Yue.
"Look what you've done!"
Nangong Yue paused, not daring to dodge, and fell to the ground with a plop as the flying teacup came towards him.
"Father," he knelt down and took two steps forward eagerly as the sound of the teacup shattered.
"It was all my fault for not paying attention. I hope you will punish me, father."
"Rebellious son, waste..."
Nangong Yan was obviously very angry, his chest heaving violently.
"All my teachings to you have been thrown away."
Nangong Yue lay prone on the ground with his forehead touching the ground.
His face was full of resentment and unwillingness, but
Dare not contradict the emperor.
"Father, I did not expect that this incident would cause the entire city to riot. Someone must be behind this, Father..."
"Your Majesty," the Imperial Master, who had been standing aside and keeping silent, stepped forward slowly, "I can see clearly that the eldest prince is no match for Prince Xiao."
The emperor snorted coldly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nangong Yue was clearly putting on this show for someone else.
Just based on the fact that he has the support of the people, Nangong Yue cannot compete with Nangong Jin.
"Then how should we handle state affairs next? Do you have any suggestions?"
A dark light flashed in the eyes of the state teacher, and he said with a smile: "Now that things have come to this, we can only release His Royal Highness Prince Xiao first, calm the people's grievances, and then make other plans."
Nangong Yan seemed to have aged several years in an instant. He waved his hand and spoke.
"Just do as the Imperial Master says. Go and make the arrangements. I'm tired."
At this time, the lights in the prison were flickering, and Li Tangyi was sleeping so soundly that she didn't know whether it was day or night outside.
She picked up a porcelain bowl of water and knocked it against the wall.
"My Lord, are you asleep?"
"What's the matter?" The man's voice sounded very sober.
Li Tangyi curled her lips, "What big deal can it be if I'm imprisoned here? We'll be together in life and death. Your wish of having me buried with you has finally come true, Your Majesty."
There was a hint of sarcasm in the tone of these words.
A day and a night passed and they didn't go out.
Li Tangyi felt that this was a dangerous time. If it weren't for this dog
Even though the man has implicated her, she can still live a happy and carefree life outside.
Live happily ever after?
Nangong Jin raised an eyebrow, "When did the princess become so pessimistic."
"Your Majesty thinks there will be a turnaround."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
Immediately afterwards, the Shuntian prefect's face showed anxiety.
He didn't care about the darkness and coldness in the prison. He fell a few times and crawled to the cell door.
"Quick...quick...open the door quickly. Congratulations, Prince, congratulations, Princess. His Majesty has sent Chen to take the two nobles out."
Separated by a high wall, Li Tangyi sat upright on a haystack, not moving at all.
Could this be a fraud?
"You're letting us go so soon?"
"Not only that... Princess Princess, you don't know that His Majesty has also specially moved a reward. I'm afraid that the eunuch who delivered the decree has already arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion. Your Majesty and Princess, please move on."
This prison was dirty and smelly, and Li Tangyi didn't want to stay there any longer.
Although she was anxious in her heart, she remained calm on the surface. When she walked out of the prison door, she saw the man beside her who was still as spotless and elegant as ever.
Even in the prison, he remained as pure as a orchid.
Coincidentally, Nangong Jin also turned around, and the two of them looked at each other.
The corners of Nangong Jin's mouth rose slightly.
It seemed as if he had already calculated this outcome and everything was under control.
"It seems that the princess's plan to be buried with the king will be in vain."
"you……"
Li Tangyi was speechless.
She didn't
Thinking that both of them were prisoners, and he was still trying to take advantage of her, a hint of anger flashed in her almond eyes.
But before it happened, Nangong Jin had already walked ahead.
The carriage moved slowly along the way.
The gate of the palace was opened wide to welcome the two princes.
A eunuch in bright red at the door was particularly conspicuous.
Seeing Nangong Jin getting off the carriage, he walked up to him and bowed.
"My Lord, you have suffered so much. His Majesty has specially sent you many supplements to nourish you and the princess, and also a thousand taels of gold as a reward for you."
Li Tangyi looked at the many gift boxes held by the young eunuch next to her.
There are all kinds of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers. She curled her lips.
This trick of slapping and rubbing three times was really played out clearly by the person in power.
"Your Majesty is thoughtful. The prince and I would like to thank you. Where is the butler? Why don't you go and prepare a brazier? The prince and I will go and get rid of the bad luck."
This bland rebuttal made the eunuch close to the emperor quite embarrassed.
Nangong Jin waved his hand with a half-smile.
"It is my fault that you have made your father worry. But the princess has caught a cold in the prison. When she is well again, my husband and I will go to the palace to thank the emperor."
Watching the eunuch leave in embarrassment.
Ah Cheng also received the letter and rushed over.
"Princess, I'm so glad you're all right."
Nangong Jin's expression restrained slightly. Without saying anything, he took the lead and strode into the gate.
Li Tangyi pursed her lips and said, "Come in first and talk."
