Chapter 17: confusing
Since having Jinwu Zangjiao, Nan Jun's mood has obviously improved a lot, and he has done things with twice the result with half the effort.
Relying on his photographic memory and insight into the world, Nan Jun quickly understood the relationship between the DPRK and China, and also gained a new understanding of the status of the Nan family.
All the emperors and daughters in the court have their own ulterior motives, and all of them are eyeing the position of the crown prince, with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and the Second Empress as the leaders.
Nan Jun suddenly thought of the tragedy of the nine sons seizing the throne during the Kangxi period. None of the princesses and ministers who were on the wrong team ended well.
In this situation, Pingnan Palace is also on the cusp.
Perhaps, kicking Qiao Yun out of Nanfu back then was also a kind of protection for him.
Nan Jun suddenly had a strong interest in his beautiful father, and this man's ability might not be inferior to that of a woman.
Thinking about it, how many people can be innocent and harmless when they were born in the royal family?
Shangguan Xi is a nostalgic person, based on his friendship with Qiao Yun's father, how could he easily drive him out of the house.
Even if Shangguan Xi was willing to drive Qiao Yun out, how could he be willing to part with his own grandson?
Nan Jun already understood the reason for it.
As for the matter between Young Master Lin and himself... I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"Your Highness, the Ninth Princess is here..."
The servant stood outside the study and said respectfully.
"Nine Emperors?"
Nan Jun frowned slightly, thinking about this person in his mind.
There are not many records about the Ninth Emperor's Daughter in the book. Because her biological father was not of high birth, this Ninth Emperor's Daughter never competed with her sisters, and she had the temperament of a wild crane.
"He's a smart guy!"
The corners of Nanju's mouth curled up, and he muttered to himself.
It has been three days since the news of her sobriety came out, and all the queens sent servants to bring things to express their condolences, and only the Ninth Princess came to visit in person on the third day.
If it's not that she is too desireless, it is that this person hides too deeply.
Nan Jun had a plan in mind, so he got up and went to the front hall.
Shangguan Xi had already been sitting in the main hall. He didn't know what he was talking to the Ninth Emperor Daughter, but he just looked at his expression. The well-established Emperor of Changping should still have some affection for the Ninth Emperor Daughter who came uninvited.
"Ji'er is here, come and sit down quickly, your ninth sister is here to see you."
Shangguan Xi greeted Nan Jun to come forward, the Ninth Emperor's daughter, Shangguan Xing hurriedly stood up, and cupped her fists towards Nan Jun.
"cousin."
Nan Jun replied, "Cousin Nine."
"They are all from my own family, so there are not so many rules. Xing'er will stay at the mansion for dinner today, and uncle will make your favorite boiled meatballs later."
Shangguan Xi smiled lovingly, an expression that only appeared in front of those he loved.
"Thank you uncle."
Shangguan Xing didn't shirk, and responded generously.
"Is my cousin okay?"
"It's alright, it's just that I need to rest!"
Nan Jun didn't want to go to the palace so soon to face the Holy Spirit, so he could only pretend that he was not fully recovered, and stay at home for a while.
"It's good that my cousin is fine. I blamed Xing'er for being bad that day. We made an appointment to go to the Zhuangyuan Building for a drink together, but my father suddenly called me into the palace. When I went to look for my cousin again, my cousin He was unconscious and was sent back to the mansion."
Shangguan Xing had a guilty expression on his face, Nan Jun thought about it carefully, but he couldn't see any fraud.
If this person didn't have such a true temperament, he must be a formidable opponent.
"That day, you two sisters actually made an appointment to have a drink?"
Shangguan Xi was shocked, this was the first time she heard about the day Nan Jun fell into a coma.
Thinking that she had just woken up, Shangguan Xi kept suppressing the matter and never mentioned it, but now she knows the whole story from Shangguan Xing.
"Exactly. Xing'er originally made an appointment with her cousin to meet at the Zhuangyuan Building at the end of the day. Unexpectedly, she ran into Si Huangjie just as she left the house. Let me inform my cousin first, and enter the palace by myself."
Shangguan Xing didn't dare to hide anything. According to Shangguan Xi's temperament, even if she didn't say anything today, her uncle would definitely find out what happened that day.
Instead of this, it's better for her to confess on her own initiative, so that she doesn't have to miss any important clues.
Shangguan Xi looked at Nan Jun with a serious face and asked, "Who did you meet that day?"
Nan Jun pondered Shangguan Xing's words carefully, then shook his head lightly: "My child doesn't remember."
As he spoke, he stroked his forehead deliberately to cover up his "amnesia".
"My cousin is probably not fully recovered, so it's normal if I can't remember it. It's just that when Xing'er came out of the palace and rushed over, he happened to meet Seventh Sister and Miss Lin, and they should have been with my cousin at that time..."
"Lin Wan?"
Shangguan Xi's expression was solemn, and he clenched his fingers holding the veil tightly, a vein showing on the back of his white hand.
Shangguan Xing nodded obediently, that's all she knew, and she went to investigate the matter afterwards, but found nothing.
Nanjun also heard several important people in it, the Ninth Emperor's daughter Shangguan Xing is neither the Grand Lady Party nor the Second Emperor's Girl Party, she has always been on good terms with "Nanjun", and it is common for the two of them to go out for drinks There are things.
It's just that this matter is complicated and confusing, and the relationship between the characters is intricate. If you don't pay attention, you will miss many details.
"Coincidentally" the fourth princess who met Shangguan Xing to pass the message for the queen was the second queen's party. She had always been at odds with the prince, so why would the queen let her pass the message to Shangguan Xing?
The Seventh Emperor's Daughter belongs to the Empress Dowager, Lin Shangshu has always been wise and protective, and is a naked royalist, so how could her eldest daughter be with the Empress Dowager's in private?
Could it be that the Lin family also made double preparations? Mingli is the emperor's man, and he promised his most favored son to Nan Jun to please the emperor, but he secretly curry favor with the two imperial daughters in order to secure his life in the future...
What a cunning old fox!
And why is it such a coincidence that the appointment between Nanjun and Shangguan Xing is so clear to the queens? Could it be that they conspired to kill "Nan Yu" together?
Thinking of the four emperors, Nan Jun couldn't help but have a murderous look in his eyes.
If I remember correctly, she, Shangguan Ning, was the one who killed Qiao Yun and his son.
Even so, she, Nan Jun, will use this cruel Shangguan Ning first.
Yun'er, I will never let anyone hurt you again!
Shangguan Xi was about to ask again, but Xiaohe from over there hurried in and whispered something in his ear.
"You two sisters chat first, and I will arrange lunch for you."
For a moment, Shangguan Xi's expression remained normal, as if the solemn-looking person just now was not him.
"Uncle Lao."
Shangguan Xing and Nan Jun stood up and sent Shangguan Xi off respectfully.
Shangguan Xing secretly stared at Shangguan Xi's leaving back, he let out a long breath when he saw him go far away, and sat on the chair behind him, looking relaxed.
