Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 143 The Complex Nan Rongguo

Blood splattered three feet away, and the entire courtroom instantly became bloody.

Cui Panxi, who was originally immersed in sad mood, was also frightened by this scene and stood there motionless.

Zhao Da was so frightened that he screamed. It's not that he had never seen a dead person before, but he had never seen someone's neck being slit in front of others.

The other guards of King Liang turned their heads away, unable to bear to see their brothers die tragically.

The most indifferent person present was King Liang, who was the closest and was splashed all over.

Not only did he not feel the slightest bit of gratitude for the guard's risking his life to protect him, he even frowned in disgust.

"Master Pei, the truth is clear now. This guard was a traitor. He used my name to do something wrong. Now he has paid for it with his life. I wonder if Master Pei is satisfied."

Pei Nan sneered, "Prince Liang's guards are really loyal. Since the guards have confessed their crimes, Prince Liang is innocent in this matter."

King Liang stared at Pei Nan, his eyes full of frost, "Lord Pei, tell the people behind you that since he has already left the capital, don't interfere anymore, otherwise I will never forgive him."

"Your Majesty, I will definitely convey your words." Pei Nan smiled slightly, "But, Your Majesty, please worry more about yourself."

You can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to talk nonsense here.

Without the support of the imperial concubine and the emperor, it would be easy for Prince Qi to deal with him.

However, Prince Qi said that now was not the time to touch him. Since ancient times, the thing that emperors feared most was seizing power. This was the case with him in the beginning, and it was still the case with Prince Liang now.

Not only will he not dethrone King Liang now, he will also secretly give him some support.

Let him confront Xie Ruixuan, which would not only protect Xie Ruixuan but also allow King Liang to serve as his whetstone.

Xie Ruixuan needs to be tempered, and the emperor also needs to be reassured.

Unfortunately, Xie Junyi didn’t understand this truth until he left the capital.

It’s not that the emperor doesn’t love him, but that he doesn’t love anyone.

King Liang gritted his teeth at Pei Nan, but he could do nothing about it. Although Pei Nan was only a chief justice of the Dali Temple, he was not to be feared.

But the Pei family behind him is a century-old family, and he can't move.

"Princess Liang, we should go back to the palace."

Even if he was angry now, he had not lost his reason. He still had a chance before Cui Panxi's true identity was officially announced by King Ning'an.

And no matter what, she is now the Princess of Liang, and he can't let her make a fool of herself here.

Cui Panxi seemed to have lost her soul and was helped out of the Dali Temple by servants.

"Sir, what should I do now? Will King Liang kill me again?"

Zhao Da looked at the corpse on the ground and asked fearfully.

"Don't worry, he won't kill you."

Pei Nan said, "You stay in the Dali Temple dungeon for a few days. When the storm has passed, I will send someone to take you to a safe place."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

As long as he can save his life, Zhao Da will feel relieved.

After everything was settled, Pei Nan wrote a letter and had it delivered to the border.

Not far from the border between Nanrong and Yuanqing, a group of people were slowly leaving Yuanqing.

"The border is just ahead. We'll be back to Nanrong soon."

Meng Xiyue looked at the city wall in the distance, feeling a little worried but also a little expectant.

Along the way, Nan Rongzhi had explained to her the situation of Nan Rong Country.

Unlike the stability of Yuanqing Kingdom, Nanrong Kingdom had always been in the midst of war. It was only in the past few decades that it gradually became stronger and the war stopped.

It can be said that the current Nanrong Kingdom is in a state of disrepair and in urgent need of development.

The court of Nanrong Kingdom was more complicated than that of Yuanqing Kingdom.

The Yuanqing Kingdom was just a fight between two princes.

However, the Nanrong Kingdom was divided into several factions. The emperor was one faction, the King of Zhennan Nan Rongshen was one faction, and the literati families were another faction.

This does not include the fights between the princes.

Emperor Nanrong had a total of eight princes and more than a dozen princesses. Even Nan Rongzhi couldn't remember the exact number.

It was really because she had never even met those imperial sisters who were of low status.

Although Emperor Nanrong was not as partial as Emperor Yuan and appointed a crown prince very early on, the struggles were no less intense than that of Yuanqing Kingdom.

The Queen's family, which is Nan Rongzhi's maternal family, is weak and has always been suppressed by Concubine Jing's lineage. In addition, the eldest prince and the eldest princess are both born to Concubine Jing.

Therefore, the eldest prince has far more supporters in Nanrong Kingdom than the crown prince Nan Rongzhi.

In addition to the eldest prince, there is also a third prince. Although he is of ordinary origin, he is favored by Nan Rongshen. With Nan Rongshen's support, he can compete with the eldest prince and Nan Rongzhi in the court.

Although Nan Rongzhi was the crown prince, she obtained that status by hiding her identity as a girl.

At the beginning, Concubine Jing relied on the fact that she gave birth to the eldest prince and the Queen had no children, so she kept forcing the Emperor to appoint a crown prince.

But the emperor did not want to be controlled by those literati and was reluctant to take the throne.

But the choice of crown prince has always been either the legitimate son or the eldest son.

Although the eldest prince did not have the status of a legitimate prince, there was no legitimate prince at that time.

Therefore, there were more and more voices of pressure in the court.

Just when the emperor was about to collapse under the pressure, the queen became pregnant.

Everyone was watching the child. If he was a prince, it would be fine. But if he was a princess, then the position of crown prince would have to be handed over.

In fact, the queen didn't care. She didn't have such big ambitions, but looking at the emperor's expectant eyes.

The queen also gradually hoped that she was pregnant with a prince, so that she could solve the emperor's urgent problem.

But things went against her wishes, and the baby was a princess. Thinking of the emperor's disappointed look and the coercion from those literati, she had to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince.

The queen made up her mind and lied to everyone that she had given birth to a prince.

From then on, Nan Rongzhi was raised as a prince, and no one knew her true identity except a few close people.

The Queen even hid it from the Emperor.

This secret has been kept until now.

Fortunately, Nan Rongzhi is a policeman in modern times, just like a boy, so when she came here, she quickly adapted.

Nan Rongzhi is now having a hard time in the court. If it weren't for the emperor's support, she would have lost her position as crown prince long ago.

I wonder what will happen to her when she returns to Kyoto after she exchanged the city for herself this time.

Therefore, she had to make plans for both of them. She could no longer just live a peaceful and stable life like she did in Yuanqing Kingdom.

She must grow stronger and give Nan Rongzhi the strongest support.

"Xiao Yueyue, look at this new skin care cream I developed."

Bai Yi's excited voice interrupted Meng Xiyue's thoughts.

"Could you please not suddenly jump into our sedan chair?" Nan Rongzhi said helplessly.

Bai Yi originally disliked Meng Xiyue very much, but ever since Meng Xiyue made him some distillation equipment, the medicine he made became more effective.

He immediately changed his previous attitude and wanted to stay with Meng Xiyue all day long.
