After rebirth, he became the favorite of the Moon Goddess.

"Oh? What can you say?" Nangong Yongchang asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, it's like this..." Si Qin was about to reply, but Nangong Yueze interrupted him first, "Si Qin, there is no need to bring this little matter up here. Father and all the ministers are here. , if you talk about Brother Qi at this time, wouldn’t it embarrass Brother Qi?”

Nangong Yueze's tone was full of warning, seeming to hint to Si Qin not to talk nonsense.

"But……"

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with that." Nangong Yueze said again.

Si Qin opened his lips, but held back the rest of his words.

Nangong Yongchang glanced at the two of them and said, "What kind of riddles are you master and servant playing? Si Qin, just say it if you have anything to say."

Si Qin pursed his lips, his expression flashing with struggle. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said with all his might: "To answer your Majesty's question, I originally accompanied the Ninth Prince to the Hidden Moon Pavilion to look for medicine, but I just arrived at the Sea of ​​Clouds. Town, when His Highness the Seventh Prince sent people to raid the Hidden Moon Pavilion, His Highness the Ninth Prince was unprepared and was almost injured in the battle..."

"What? Is this happening??" Nangong Yongchang was suddenly shocked, "Why did Lao Qi raid Yin Yue Pavilion?"

"I'm not sure about this humble position..." Si Qin shook his head and continued, "I guess that His Highness the Seventh Prince also went there to find an antidote. As for why he would adopt such an extreme method, this humble minister wouldn't dare to It’s just a wild guess, but not only did this surprise attack not harm Yin Yue Pavilion at all, but it turned Yunhai Town upside down..."

"This traitor is so outrageous!!!" Nangong Yongchang said angrily.

Nangong Yueze lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head to look at Nangong Yongchang, sighing: "Father, please calm down, Seventh Brother may have done this just because he was anxious about something..."

"Hmph, please stop speaking for him." Nangong Yongchang said sternly, "You are his younger brother, so you must be partial to him. How many ridiculous things has he done for his own selfish desires over the years? If I don't say it, it doesn't mean that he I don’t know!!”

Nangong Yueze lowered his eyes and said nothing.

At this time, an old minister suddenly took a step forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Seventh Highness has always acted arrogantly. If he is not punished, he will become even more unscrupulous in the future. In the opinion of the old minister, Your Majesty should immediately abolish His Majesty the Seventh Highness." The title of prince."

"Your Majesty!" After hearing the minister's words, Prime Minister Su Mingde stood up immediately, "Although His Majesty the Seventh Prince has an arrogant personality, he has been fighting everywhere in recent years and has made great contributions to the Nebula Empire. It would be a shame if his title of prince were abolished. The hearts of millions of soldiers!"

"Prime Minister Su's words are inappropriate. If His Highness Seventh Prince is allowed to act so recklessly, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Nebula Empire's royal family." When Su Mingde finished speaking, the Imperial General standing opposite him also spoke.

"Father, my son and I also agree with the words of the general. The seventh brother is ambitious and self-respecting. If he is allowed to develop, and one day he really seeks power and usurps the throne, who here can stop him?" The third prince Nangong Yichen stood up immediately and said loudly.

After listening to Nangong Yichen's words, Su Mingde's expression suddenly changed, "The words of the Third Highness are too serious, isn't it? The Seventh Highness is His Majesty's son, how could he have the intention to rebel??!! You are in front of His Majesty and His Majesty." If you say something like this in front of all the ministers, you will be charged with slandering the heirs of the royal family!!!"

"Ha..." Nangong Yichen sneered, "Everything I said is true! Prime Minister Su, I know that you are always close to the Seventh Prince, but this does not become a reason for you to protect him."

"You..." Su Mingde was immediately furious.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Nangong Yueze just lowered his eyes and said nothing, as if all the disputes and noises around him had nothing to do with him.

"That's enough, don't fight anymore!!" At this moment, Nangong Yongchang, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly stopped everyone.

Hearing his scolding, the originally noisy court suddenly became quiet.

Nangong Yongchang looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Nangong Yueze, "Lao Jiu, come here."

Hearing Nangong Yongchang calling him, Nangong Yueze slowly stood up and walked to his side, bowed and said, "Father, what are your orders?"

Nangong Yongchang patted Nangong Yueze's shoulder lightly, then stood up, looked at the ministers and said, "Let's not talk about the seventh prince's affairs today. When he comes back, I will ask him for details. Today all the ministers are Now, I have something else to announce."

After hearing Nangong Yongchang's words, everyone in the court held their breath and listened.

"The Ninth Prince Nangong Yueze is intelligent, wise, dignified in appearance, loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous. I am very pleased. From now on, I will grant the title of Prince of the Nebula Empire to the Ninth Prince," Nangong Yongchang said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence, and everyone opened their eyes in confusion.

Su Mingde stared at Nangong Yongchang blankly, as if he couldn't believe what he just said. After a while, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is talented, and his qualifications are still young, so he may not be qualified for the position of prince... Your Majesty, please Think carefully!"

"Okay! I have made up my mind, no one can say anything more!" Nangong Yongchang waved his hand.

Su Mingde was speechless and could only give Nangong Yueze a hard look.

Nangong Yueze lowered his head slightly, hiding the sarcastic arc in his eyes.

This result seemed to have been expected by him.

"My dear father, thank you." Nangong Yueze said respectfully.

"Okay, that's it for today's morning meeting. Everyone, please leave. Lao Jiu, come to my bedroom during lunch. I have something to discuss with you." Nangong Yongchang said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Nangong Yueze nodded in response. …

Coming out of Zhaohua Palace, Si Qin followed closely behind Nangong Yueze, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Nangong Yueze stopped and glanced at him lightly.

"Your Highness, I don't understand why the Dragon Emperor suddenly promoted you to the title of prince today?" Si Qin asked in confusion.

Nangong Yueze raised the corners of his lips and said casually: "He promoted me as a prince because he just wanted to use me to contain Nangong Jing. He knows better than anyone that Nangong Jing's power has become uncontrollable. , his existence will threaten Nangong Yongchang’s throne at any time, so he urgently needs someone to divert Nangong Jing’s target, and that person is me.”

"So that's it..." Si Qin suddenly realized, "My subordinates thought that the Dragon Emperor made you a prince because he loved His Highness, but I didn't expect that this was the reason."

"If my guess is correct, Nangong Yongchang is actually very afraid of Nangong Jing." Nangong Yueze narrowed his eyes and said, "Nangong Jing not only controls the vast majority of military power, but the people who work for him are even more There are countless people, and Nangong Yichen is right, once Nangong Jing seeks power and usurps the throne, few people in the entire Nebula Empire will be able to stop him."

"But no matter what, your highness is now a prince. If Nangong Jing hears the news that you have been promoted, he will be so angry that he vomits blood." Si Qin said excitedly. When he thought of that scene, he couldn't help but snicker. Twice.

Hearing this, Nangong Yueze had a sarcastic smile on his face, "Humph, speaking of which, he still wants to thank me."

"Huh? What do you mean by this, Your Highness?" Si Qin raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"There's something you don't know yet. I saw Nangong Jing's fate record in Tianxin Pavilion before. If it weren't for my arrival, Nangong Jing would have forced Gong to kill the king." Nangong Yueze said slowly.

"What, forcing the palace to kill the king?" Si Qin was stunned for a moment.

"Well, although he successfully forced the palace and inherited the throne, he died tragically at the hands of the enemy's siege rebels the next year. Even his body was not saved. Do you think he should thank me for coming?" Nangong Yue Ze curled his lips and sneered.

Hearing this, Si Qin was stunned for a few seconds, "This Nangong Jing is so cold-blooded that he won't even spare his biological father!"

"People like him have no humanity at all." Nangong Yueze shrugged noncommittally and continued to walk forward, "By the way, Si Qin, those ministers who accused Nangong Jing in public today, you Pay more attention, I’m afraid that Nangong Jing will be detrimental to them if he knows about this.”

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."

……

Qingyang City, the main palace of Qingyang City.

Near noon, Nangong Jing finally woke up.

"Your Highness, how do you feel??" Upon seeing this, Li Yangming hurriedly approached and asked.

"Well, it's better than last night." Nangong Jing nodded.

Last night, Li Yangming gave him a healing elixir, which made his injury better.

Seeing that he was more energetic, Li Yangming put the clothes he had prepared on him again. After finishing everything, he came to Nangong Jing and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there is something that I don't know whether I should tell him or not." you."

"What's the matter?" Nangong Jing asked casually.

"There is news from the Prime Minister's Office that Nangong Yueze appeared at Zhaohua Palace this morning." Li Yangming carefully observed Nangong Jing's expression and answered cautiously.

Hearing the other party mention Nangong Yueze, Nangong Jing sat up suddenly, "He was still at Zixu Academy last night, why did he return to the imperial city this morning? Also, what was he doing in Zhaohua Palace??"

"He went to see Your Majesty and said that he had found an antidote to save Concubine Ning. This was nothing at first, but his personal bodyguard was too talkative and told us about our raid on Yin Yue Pavilion. His Majesty would not have heard this. He was so angry that several ministers took advantage of the situation and encouraged His Majesty to deprive you of your title of prince." Li Yangming sighed and said with a depressed look on his face.

"They are adding insult to injury!!!" Nangong Jing roared angrily, clenching his fists tightly, and veins bulging on his forehead.

"Although the Prime Minister tried his best to speak for you, in order to appease Nangong Yueze, His Majesty finally made him a prince..." Li Yangming continued.

"What!!" After hearing this, Nangong Jing's chest was filled with resentment and grievance. A sweet taste suddenly surged into his throat, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness!!" Li Yangming was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold his arm.

"I don't accept it! How could he be so virtuous and capable? Why was he named a prince by the Jin Dynasty??!!" Nangong Jing overturned the tables and chairs beside him and roared with a ferocious expression.

Looking at Nangong Jing, who had a distorted face and scarlet eyes, Li Yangming frowned secretly.

After following Nangong Jing for so long, this is the first time Li Yangming has seen him lose such a big temper!

Nangong Jing has always been proud, and this time Nangong Yueze's Jin Feng was like a slap in the face, making him lose face.
