Because Lu Yi had not yet arrived in the capital under the name of Nangong Yun, Nangong Yun had not yet entered the palace.
Fu Manxing also relaxed, and she simply continued reading books, all kinds of books, books that were useful to her.
In just half a month, her knowledge made another qualitative leap.
After Lu Yi arrived in the capital, Nangong Yun returned to the prince's mansion to tidy himself up, took the evidence of corruption collected by Lu Yi, and started to enter the palace for the Hongmen Banquet.
In the imperial study.
Nangong Yun looked at Nangong Qi, who was wearing a dragon robe, and knelt down and bowed with an expression of indifference.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."
Nangong Qi was so angry when he saw Nangong Yun coming back alive again.
He really wanted to kill him right here!
But he couldn't, otherwise those corrupt ministers would rebel.
Thinking of this, his hands gripping the dragon throne tightened.
But no matter how powerful you are, you are still only fit to kneel at his feet.
He felt a little relieved when he saw Nangong Yun kneeling in front of him.
"Third brother, please stand up. Why do you and I have to do this?"
When Nangong Yun heard this, he chuckled in his heart and answered respectfully.
"Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished."
"Okay, okay, is there anything else to report?"
Just now in the hall, he had commended Nangong Yun in front of all the officials, but when leaving the court, Nangong Yun said that he had something else to report.
Nangong Qi agreed to let Nangong Yun in with the mentality that he could cause trouble for him.
"Your Majesty, of the 300,000 taels of silver you originally allocated, only 30,000 remained when it was delivered to Danzhou. Danzhou is facing a food shortage, and many people are displaced. In such a critical situation, someone still embezzled the silver allocated by Your Majesty. Their heart is truly despicable. I have learned from Chen Xin who embezzled this money. I beg Your Majesty to intervene on behalf of the people of Danzhou."
Nangong Yun said as he took out a letter from his arms.
"What? This is outrageous!"
Nangong Qi slammed the table in anger and signaled the eunuch beside him to bring it up.
After reading the letter at a glance, he threw it on the table and looked at Nangong Yun with ill intent.
"Third brother, who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"
"Your Majesty, it's not clear yet."
"Humph! You don't know, or you don't dare to say it?"
Nangong Qi looked at Nangong Yun who was pretending and knew that the other party would not say anything, so he just skipped it.
"Forget it, Third Brother, you've made such a great contribution this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty, it is my duty to share your worries. I do not need any reward."
It can be said that Nangong Yun kept his status very low, but even so, Nangong Qi was still worried and tried every means to get rid of him.
"In that case, you can leave."
Nangong Qi was satisfied that the once high-ranking prince had become a prince with only a nominal title, and he waved his hand to send Nangong Yun away.
So what if he didn’t kill him this time? With the trump card in hand, Nangong Yun can’t cause any big waves.
He became angry when he thought that he could not order the killing of Nangong Yun and had to reward him for solving the flood problem.
If not rewarding would discourage other ministers, he would not want to give them a single penny.
It’s a pity that the plague didn’t kill him. Nangong Qi held his chin with some regret.
It can be said that if he had paid a little more attention, he would have found that the plague was resolved faster than previously recorded in historical books.
Unfortunately, he was deep in the palace. Even though he had experienced the bloody storms in the palace, he had never experienced the environment under disaster, and he would not understand everything Nangong Yun did for the Northern Dynasty.
Over the years, because he couldn't get rid of Nangong Yun no matter what he did, killing him has become his obsession.
It can be said that if he does not get rid of Nangong Yun, he will never be able to become a truly wise ruler.
Nangong Qi was thinking about what to do next time. When he thought of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom that gave him a headache, a plan gradually came into his mind.
The current barbarian soldiers are not so easy to repel. With that mysterious wizard present, Nangong Yun has no chance of coming back alive!
He thought of the suffering he had experienced on the frontier and smiled maliciously.
Nangong Yun's side.
After leaving the palace, he concealed the indifferent expression on his face and got into the carriage with a look of disgust.
He now feels sick every time he sees Nangong Qi.
Although he was not defeated in the competition for the throne, he kept giving in. He even said that he could leave the capital as long as he took his mother with him, but how could Nangong Qi believe it?
If he had not done anything wrong when he was the crown prince, and if his mother's family and some prestigious ministers had tried to stop him from killing Nangong Yun, Nangong Qi might have directly found some false charges to pin on him.
A few days later, at Wangyueju at night, Nangong Yun was lying in the medicinal bath tub, with his eyes lowered, feeling the acupuncture behind him with stars floating on his back.
Fu Manxing's fingers were very thin and cold, and they were extremely noticeable when they touched his hot skin.
He found that it didn't hurt as much when acupuncture was given by such a pair of hands.
Fu Manxing didn't notice Nangong Yun's strange idea. When the last golden needle fell, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Today's treatment is over."
Nangong Yun felt the heat touching the back of his neck, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he thanked him in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you for your hard work. Full stars."
"It's ok, how's the water temperature?"
Fu Manxing said as he reached out and touched the medicinal bath.
Nangong Yun looked at the white hand that appeared in the thick green water beside him, and the fierceness in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.
Did she forget that he was a normal man?
"Zi Jin..."
Fu Manxing saw Nangong Yun not saying anything and turned his head strangely, only to meet such a pair of eyes.
"I, I'm leaving first. Remember to take your medicine later."
She said this in a panic and hurriedly left with the medicine box.
Nangong Yun looked at Fu Manxing's fleeing back, curled his lips into a smile, lowered his head to look at his lower body, and closed his eyes helplessly.
What's the difference between him and those hot-blooded soldiers?
Even though he was a prince, three years of military life had taught him some knowledge about matters between men and women.
But he is in danger now and does not have the courage to tell Fu Manxing for the time being.
Soon it’s five days later, and tonight is the Lantern Festival in the palace.
Because there were not many royal descendants in the Northern Dynasties, this family banquet gradually became a state banquet, and of course only officials of the third rank and above could attend.
When Nangong Yun arrived, no one came to greet him. He didn't want to make things awkward and sat down in his seat. While drinking, he whispered some precautions to Fu Manxing who was standing beside him.
Because she was afraid that Fu Yao would recognize her, Nangong Yun disguised her face so that she looked like a beautiful girl.
Before coming, Nangong Yun had already introduced the important people to Fu Manxing.
Fu Manxing stood silently by the side and looked around.
Nangong Yun sat in the first place, and the second was Prime Minister Shen, who was also the mastermind behind the embezzlement of the three hundred thousand taels. Unfortunately, even if Nangong Qi found evidence, he would not be punished.
Because this person was an important supporter of Nangong Qi's ascension to the throne, and his only daughter was Nangong Qi's queen.
When she heard the news, she felt sorry for Fu Yao.
Is Fu Yao stupid? Even in this situation, she still dares to believe that Nangong Qi likes her?
