Madam is a Superstar
Chapter 558 Extra 24
The words are sincere and every sentence makes sense.
Nangong Yu didn't answer. There was still some warmth left in the empty tea cup. He rubbed it over and over again with his fingertips, and opened his lips for a while.
"Let me think about it for two days."
,
It's a pity that God often does not fulfill one's wishes. Early the next morning, an urgent report came back from the border area 800 miles away.
"Report——!"
"Our army is poorly equipped with insufficient food and grass, and Dongchen has Gu men who are not afraid of pain to charge into the battle.
General Shangguan led his army to defeat and lost two cities within seven days. I beg the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible and send reinforcements! "
quiet,
Looking across the hall, you can hear the deathly silence.
Dayuan was founded for more than 400 years and nearly 500 years. No dynasty or generation had ever lost two cities in just seven days!
Not to mention that the enemy is just a small country called Dongchen and barbarians who cannot be called a dynasty.
shame!
What a shame!
"Oh my God! My late emperor, I can't forgive you, my late emperor! I have failed to live up to your last wishes.
The old minister failed to assist the emperor, and that’s why I, Dayuan, have ended up where I am today, late emperor! "
A man with white hair on his temples, a veteran of two dynasties, knelt down on his knees and looked at the sky with tears streaming down his face.
At that moment, the other courtiers in the palace had mixed feelings. Many of them lifted up the wide sleeves of their court clothes and secretly wiped the corners of their eyes. Most of them were elders of the two dynasties.
They watched the emperor grow up, and they also watched the emperor who was a wise king before.
Increasingly addicted to beauty, greed for pleasure, and leading to mediocrity and immorality, watching them step by step towards decline,
But a king is a king and his ministers are ministers, not to mention that today's court is the court of this generation of kings and ministers. How can these old guys grasp it?
"Quiet! Quiet!"
A high-pitched voice silenced the court where the mourning continued. Everyone heard the sound and looked around.
It was Dehong who helped Nangong Xiao out of the screen. He was shocked and everyone in the hall fell to their knees.
"I see you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor!"
Long live?
Nangong Xiao sat down on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers kneeling below with self-mockery in their expressions. He was unable to raise his hands and said, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The princes and ministers stood up and looked at the emperor who suddenly appeared on the high position in surprise.
Nangong Xiao didn't say anything and was unable to say anything. His eyes fell on Nangong Yu, who was standing alone in the position of the prince.
"Prince, please tell me that I will sit here and listen. You will still make the decision on matters in the court alone. There is no need to worry because I am here."
There is no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty who is stupid. Today the emperor is here to frighten the prince and the court.
From this point of view, the emperor's words yesterday were not a joke nor had any other intentions. He was determined to pass the throne to the prince.
"My son, I obey."
Nangong Yu's voice fell, and today's morning meeting began.
,
Nearly two hours later, the morning dispersed,
Nangong Xiao's body could no longer hold up after sitting for so long. He left the Qinzheng Hall with Dehong's support before everyone else.
Then there were the ministers who hesitated to move after seeing that the prince was reluctant to leave first, and after being ordered to salute Nangong Yu one after another.
"Sigh, I don't know if I, Dayuan, can survive this disaster..."
"Don't say such depressing words, it will eventually pass..."
"Don't say anything depressing. It's a good thing that the Emperor is no longer as careless as he was in previous years..."
"Brother Zuo is right. I think everything the prince has just arranged is advisable. I have never tried it..."
"city……"
As the ministers left, the huge palace became empty and there was no more sound.
I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or God had predicted it, but Kyoto City had sunny weather for several days in a row.
Large swaths of dark clouds gathered today, and the entire palace and even the entire city of Kyoto were shrouded in gloom.
"Tick, tick,..."
I don’t know when it started to rain lightly, and the raindrops fell from the sky and splashed on the bluestone ground.
Song Qing stopped walking slowly, and the lonely scene in the palace when she stepped out of the threshold came to mind.
The tip of my heart hurt so much that it felt like I had been stung. I turned my head to look at the rain that was falling more and more rapidly, and turned around to go back the way I came.
"Tick, tick, tick..."
There are more and more raindrops, and soon they form a rain curtain.
Song Qing's figure stopped at the entrance of the palace, quietly looking at Nangong Yu who was alone in the palace.
His eyes moved from the man's tall and majestic back to the battle report that Nangong Yu was clutching vigorously and...
The tip of my heart trembles slightly,
The two had known each other since they were children. She had seen many aspects of him, but she had never seen him shed tears, but today, she saw him.
“Boom—!”
Deafening thunder suddenly appeared again and huge raindrops fell, pulling the two people who were immersed in their thoughts back.
The sound of people walking around could be heard in the hall. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Song Qing froze in place.
Subconsciously, I wanted to hide, but there seemed to be a heavy stone under my feet, unable to move even half a step.
"Boom—!"
There was another deafening thunder, and the two people's eyes met speechlessly in this situation.
"I……"
Song Qing subconsciously wanted to explain something. After all, no one in the world would want others to see him in embarrassment.
But the sentence only started, and everything that followed was drowned in Nangong Yu's broad arms.
Warmth, with a hint of ambergris attached to it, and a very real touch, so real that she couldn't believe that everything at the moment was real.
It’s not like the two of them haven’t hugged each other before.
It's just that she always hugged Nangong Yu unilaterally and shamelessly, no matter whether Nangong Yu was cold-faced or unwilling,
"Song Qing."
This voice was hoarse to the extreme, as if he was trying his best to suppress some emotion.
Song Qing finally recovered from this unprecedented active embrace, and raised her hands hanging by her side uncertainly,
Hugging Nangong Yu back, the real touch and warmth that came back made Song Qing tremble when she spoke, "What, what's wrong?"
She clearly felt Nangong Yu holding her tighter, so tight that she could hardly breathe.
The mellow and deep voice no longer had the deliberate distance in the past, but had something else added to it, like guilt, fear, and more like prayer.
"Wait for me, okay?"
"What?"
Song Qing instinctively asked a question, but the man holding him did not give any further meaning.
However,
She soon got the answer. After that day, she could no longer meet Nangong Yu in the palace from time to time.
Nangong Yu was very busy, busy dealing with state affairs, busy dealing with civil and military officials with different ideas in the court, busy competing with his brothers for the throne,
And the precarious borderland finally stabilized under Nangong Yu's efforts to turn the tide.
Although the army currently does not have the ability to take back the two lost cities from Dongchen,
But he also guarded the gate of the third city near the border, so that the Dongchen barbarians could not attack again.
The tense situation in Dayuan Court finally got a chance to breathe. Dongchen barbarians should have died suddenly when they invaded Dayuan territory.
Nangong Xiao, who relied on Miaoshui and the imperial doctor to hang on to his life, laughed after learning the news.
Smiling heartily, she had an unprecedented appetite and ate two bowls of noodles under Song Dai's care.
Let’s talk about the ensuing stalemate between the two sides in the border area, which lasted for nearly half a year.
The days passed day by day and it entered November in the blink of an eye. On the first day, it started to snow lightly.
Nangong Xiao was in good spirits today. Song Dai helped her out of bed and out of the palace. She sat on a sandalwood chair in the corridor and watched the snow.
“This year’s first snowfall is extremely early.”
After Nangong Xiao finished speaking, he stretched out his palm towards Song Dai and said with a warm smile, "Dai'er, come, sit down with me and take a good look at the snow this year."
