Two days later, a embarrassed guard came back to report that a mountain torrent broke out in Nancheng, which flooded the entire city overnight, and none of them survived. All civil and military officials were shocked when they heard the news. It was a natural disaster! It was a pity that King Xuan had no return date when he left.

Hao Lianjing said sadly when he heard the news: "I originally wanted my fifth brother to go to rescue the disaster, but I didn't expect that he would be buried in the imperial power. I immediately sent someone to retrieve the fifth brother's body so that I could be buried."

"Your Majesty, no! There have been countless natural disasters in the south city over the past few days, and corpses are everywhere. Plagues have already been spread. Originally, the prince had planned to transfer the living people out in the past few days to avoid being infected by the plague, but who expected that he would be buried in the mud before he left."

When everyone heard the word plague, they suddenly became nervous. If the spread of the plague is uncontrollable, it is very likely that the entire Tiansheng would suffer an unrestrained disaster!

Chu Mu: "Your Majesty, the plague should not be underestimated. I think it is better to seal the Nancheng as soon as possible to avoid innocent involvement in other places. As for King Xuan, he should naturally be rewarded for his sacrifice to save the people. Although the deceased has passed away, it is always possible to leave a name in history."

"Yes! I'll post it! The body of King Xuan cannot be retrieved."

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

······

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down to agree with Chu Mu's statement. Chu Mu couldn't help but curl his lips and smiled and said no more. Hao Lianjing pretended to be hesitant, but in the end, for the sake of the country and the people's safety, he decided to enfeoff Nancheng and buried Hao Lianxuan in the imperial tomb with an empty coffin!

Jinhua Palace

Chu Hanyan was a little shocked when he learned that Hao Lianxuan was killed. That day, the emperor said, could it be that the emperor sent someone to do? The emperor attacked King Xuan in order to get Nangong Jinse? Chu Hanyan couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he thought of this. In this way, Nangong Jinse might really enter the palace.

"Empress? What are you thinking?"

Chu Hanyan waved his hand powerlessly and didn't say anything. If Nangong Jinse really wanted to enter the palace, then her position as queen would probably not be able to be saved!

Marquis' Mansion

After Xiaohui learned the news, he immediately walked into Nangong Jinse's courtyard.

"Miss, there is news that a mountain flood in Nancheng broke out, flooding the entire small city overnight. No one except the guard who came back lived."

"What? What did you say?"

"And in order to curb the spread of the plague, the emperor has ordered the city to be closed down, and even King Xuan's body is not planned to be retrieved."

Nangong Jinse suddenly felt a headache and couldn't stand steadily. Isn't this true? Hao Lianxuan is really dead? Xiaohui immediately helped Nangong Jinse sit on the chair.

"Miss, be careful, please be impatient! I have sent someone to the Nancheng to investigate the truth and reality. I hope the prince is safe."

"He can't die, he must live."

"Miss, don't worry, maybe the prince is not seriously injured."

Nangong Jinse held his forehead and had a headache.

"Help me in and rest for a while, I have a headache."

"Do you want to call a doctor to show the lady?"

"No need, I'm just in a hurry. It's okay to rest for a while. By the way, the maids selected by Hao Lianjing are on guard."

"My subordinate understands, don't worry, Miss."

at night

In her sleep, Nangong Jinse dreamed of the jade bamboo and jade hidden wind and the breeze, and Nangong Hao. When they were on the border together, their father taught her to play the piano, ride and shoot, and how to lead troops to fight. They lived happily together. She ran in front and chased them behind, and there were endless sounds of playing and striking, but suddenly she found that Nangong Hao and the others were standing in the distance, just looking at her and smiling.

Slowly, they were getting farther and farther away from her until they disappeared. Nangong Jinse shouted their names in panic, but the surroundings were empty, but she was the only one. Finally, she struggled to wake up, her clothes were already covered in sweat.

"Father!" Nangong Jinse murmured in a low voice, tears in his eyes.

The next day, the Xuan Palace sent a mourning post. Nangong Jinse's hands were trembling as she looked at the post in her hand. She was afraid that it was true. Although he said that he would go with the flow and let her enter the palace, the mountain torrent was a natural disaster, so how could he predict it!

Xiaohui: "The emperor has issued an edict today that King Xuan is dead, and King Xuan's coffin will be buried in the imperial tomb in three days."

Nangong Jinse: "Not these matter, what is important is that I want to know whether they are safe?"

Xiaohui: "Miss, wait patiently for a few days, and there will be news soon."

"It's all right now!"

Three days later

The Xuan Palace was snow-white, and officials came to worship him in a constant stream. Nangong Jinse came outside the Xuan Palace in white, but refused to step in. After standing for a while, the imperial palace was just around the corner. Hao Lianjing and Chu Hanyan walked down together. The two of them were in different moods when they saw Nangong Jinse.

Nangong Jinse looked at the two of them and had to walk towards the mansion. At this time, a maid following Nangong Jinse glanced at Hao Lianjing, and Hao Lianjing also looked at her.

"Yan'er, go in first, I'll give you some instructions!"

"good."

After Chu Hanyan left, Hao Lianjing walked towards the side courtyard next to him, and the maid was waiting there.

"So I will meet the emperor."

"Get up, how about the Marquis' Mansion in the past few days?"

"Miss was very sad when she heard the news of King Xuan's death and didn't even want to attend the funeral. We persuaded her for a long time to come today. After we arrived, we stood at the door and didn't want to go in for a long time."

"Well, forgot! She has a fifth brother in her heart, so it's normal that she can't accept it for a while. Keep watching what's going on and report it immediately."

"yes."

After entering the Xuan Palace, Nangong Jinse did not go to the mourning hall but came to a pavilion in the backyard, sitting alone in the pavilion in a daze.

Xiaohui whispered: "A maid is gone."

"I guess I've reported it to the emperor, it's okay."

Chu Hanyan was walking towards here in the distance, probably coming to find Nangong Jinse. Nangong Jinse looked cold when he saw Chu Hanyan's arrival and said nothing and did not intend to salute him.

Hong'er: "Rareless! I can't even polite when I see the Empress."

Chu Hanyan: "Forget it, she is used to being presumptuous in front of this palace."

Nangong Jinse ignored the two of them and sat there in a daze, not wanting to say a word.

Chu Hanyan came to Nangong Jinse and said, "I want to remind you a few words when I come to the Japanese palace. Don't be foolish, otherwise I will never be lenient."

Nangong Jinse didn't want to pay attention to Chu Hanyan, but accidentally discovered that Hao Lianjing was walking towards her. It seemed that she had to cooperate with Chu Hanyan to act.

"The Empress said this since I came back. Until now, I warn you every time I see me. Don't you feel annoyed? I feel annoyed if you are not annoyed! Besides, if you can't get the emperor's heart, it's because you are incompetent, why do you blame me?"

Chu Hanyan became angry after hearing this.

"If you hadn't scratched my face, would the emperor be so cold to me?"

"I don't admit this, and I think your face is not very good-looking at first! Do you think you can get the emperor's heart with just one face? Time flies and your face grows easily. No matter how beautiful the face is, it will eventually be defeated by time. At that time, the emperor will naturally not like you, a yellow-faced woman."

"Nangong Jinse, you are talking more and more unrestrained now, without any scruples. Do you really think that if the emperor supports you, you can be unscrupulous?"

Nangong Jinse smiled softly and looked at Chu Hanyan and said, "You are wrong. I am so unscrupulous, not because I am supported by the emperor, but because I have unscrupulous capital. Besides, I don't need anyone to support me. Who in the world can stand up to me?"

"Hmph, you're so angry. One day, I will let you understand what pain is. Maybe you already understand it, right?"

When Nangong Jinse's expression changed, she naturally knew that she was talking about Yuzhu and Yuyin.

"Yes, I've understood why the pain means a long time ago, but I don't feel uncomfortable at all. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Why? When you experience despair, you will understand that pain is not something to be afraid of."

As he said that, Nangong Jinse stood up and came to Chu Hanyan's side and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Wait, I will definitely return the harm you brought to Yuzhu and Yuyin. Not only will you return it ten times, but you will understand what despair is and what is life without desire."

Chu Hanyan's face was a little pale, but he still said with confidence: "I am not afraid!"

Nangong Jinse took two steps back and sat lazily on the stool and looked at Chu Hanyan with a playful look.

"Now that King Xuan is gone, I feel empty in my heart and always feel that I need something to fill it up."

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, I'm not ruthless to the Emperor."

When these words were said, Chu Hanyan and Hao Lianjing were shocked at the same time, but one person was shocked and the other was surprised.

"When I just came back three years ago, I always stayed away from their royal family in order to avoid falling into court disputes. But once the emperor saved me and was shot in an arrow, but I just played a song in return. From then on, I felt that the emperor was a special person, and his smile was always so gentle that I felt very warm. I even sent him to my peach blossom in the yard. Now it is a peach tree, but it has become a past!"

Peach Tree? It turns out that the peach tree was the peach blossom I gave me back then? Hao Lianjing couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

Listening to these words, Chu Hanyan yelled: "You are lying. If you really like the emperor, why didn't you be with him? You are just watching King Xuan die and have no dependence, so you said you like the emperor, right? Nangong Jinse, how could you be so shameless?"

"Ha! If I had been shameless, I would have been lingering with the emperor every night, how could I still listen to your nonsense here?"

"You! OK, even if what you said is true, why did you choose King Xuan at the beginning?"

Nangong Jinse smiled faintly and looked a little lonely.

"Because in King Xuan's heart, he can give up everything for me, but the emperor cannot. This is the reason. In fact, what I want from beginning to end is just a frank and sincere heart! However, the emperor never understood it."

"Then what do you mean by saying these words now?"

Nangong Jinse's expression suddenly became ruthless and looked at Chu Hanyan.

"It means I want to tell you not to mess with me, otherwise I will not guarantee that I will use the emperor's hand to get rid of you! After all, for me, I am just a cage, but for you, I will never be able to recover!"

The two of them looked at each other like this, with hatred in their eyes! Hao Lianjing was very happy when he heard Nangong Jinse's words. It seemed that it was really a wise decision to let the fifth brother disappear. As long as Jinse enters the palace, she will always fall in love with him slowly. After all, she still can't forget her affection for him.
