Yelu Ziqiang was a little nervous at the moment, but when he thought about the normalcy he had just established, he was no longer so worried. He raised his chin slightly and stood there with a casual and indifferent look.
It stands to reason that he is the eldest prince and Yelv Zongxiao is the third prince. Even if the Liao Emperor gave Yelu Zongxiao the Tianjiao Mansion and asked him to command the Yulin Guard, Yelu Zongxiao did not have any other advantages in terms of title.
, he and Yelu Ziqiang are both the same princes, there is no distinction between them!
In terms of age, there is an order of seniority and youth. When Yelu Zongxiao meets Yelu Ziqiang, he should respectfully call him big brother!
Yelu Ziqiang's change in attitude also caught the eye of some attentive officials. Their eyes unknowingly swept over the faces of brothers Yelu Zongxiao and Yelu Ziqiang, and they noticed that more and more probing eyes were coming.
, Yelu Zongxiao suddenly turned around, looking at the officials behind him sharply, his pupils were frozen, this look was murderous, the elegance and nobility that once belonged to him were gone at this moment, all that was left was a cold threat and a cold murderous intent.
All the officials lowered their heads, pretending that nothing happened, and no longer dared to fix their eyes on Yelu Zongxiao and Yelu Ziqiang.
As time passed, the sound of the arrival of the Queen Mother cheered up everyone who had been waiting for a long time.
The Queen Mother walked steadily into the Jinluan Palace with Su Su's support. Although her face was still with the usual kindness and dignity, the Queen Mother's eyes could not hide her sadness and exhaustion. Su Su carefully supported the Queen Mother. Only she knew that the Queen Mother had several times.
She has never had a good meal in the past few days. It is not easy for the Queen Mother to be able to come here now when something like this happens to her at her age.
When passing by Nalan Minghui, Su Su did not look at Nalan Minghui immediately as usual, but looked straight ahead calmly. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen from crying, but Su Su
She looked forward stubbornly, wanting to try how long she would have the courage to persist without looking at the man she loved when he was so close!
When Su Su supported the Queen Mother and walked past Nalan Minghui, she almost couldn't help turning her head to look at him several times. But when she thought of what Mu Liang said to her in the woods, Su Su's thoughts became more solid.
If she can't control herself even this time, then in the future... she will still follow the same old path
Helping the Queen Mother to turn around and sit down, Su Su took a small step back and stood behind the Queen Mother, looking down at the ground, never intersecting with Nalan Minghui's eyes.
A flash of surprise flashed in Nalan Minghui's eyes, and then he looked at Su Su searchingly, with a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes. After seeing Su Su come in, he looked at her naturally, waiting for her to turn her gaze.
On his own, and then both parties nodded lightly. For so many years, in such an inconvenient occasion, Nalan Minghui has always thought that this habit has been eternal. Who knows today...
Did Su Su forget or... did it on purpose?
Nalan Minghui couldn't figure out Su Su's heart. He was in a daze for a moment and couldn't even hear clearly what the Queen Mother said.
"Please come and give King Liao and General Nalan a seat." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Tuobo Kun responded calmly with cupped fists, "Thank you Queen Mother."
Nalan Minghui stood there in a daze, still thinking about Su Su's transformation. He didn't hear what the Queen Mother said at all. It wasn't until the Eighth Sage King coughed heavily that Nalan Minghui came back to his senses.
, the general behind him reminded him in a low voice,
"General, why don't you thank the Queen Mother for giving me a seat?"
"This..." Nalan Minghui broke into a cold sweat for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, stabilized his body and mind, clasped his fists and spoke in a deep voice,
"Thank you Queen Mother"
The Queen Mother nodded. She had no intention of blaming Nalan Minghui at the moment. She turned her head and glanced at the pale Su Su, and then looked at Nalan Minghui who was sitting there with her eyes lowered as well. The Queen Mother sighed heavily in her heart. He breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of trouble did Su Su and Nalan Minghui cause? But no matter which trouble it was, the Queen Mother didn't care about it now.
The Queen Mother's eyes quickly swept over Yelu Zongxiao, her eyes filled with worry and confusion.
What's worrying is that Yelvsong is simple and irritable at a young age and is no match for Lao San. What's puzzling is, what secrets does Emperor Liao have that he can't reveal?
The Queen Mother's eyes finally met with the Eight Wise Kings. The Eight Wise Kings gave the Queen Mother a calm look and continued to rest with their eyes closed.
Tuobo Kun, who was sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, looked as cold as frost. After the Queen Mother came in, it became even more bone-chilling. He speculated that Mu Liang should have come in with the Queen Mother, but where did that little woman go now?
The face of the King of Liao became more and more gloomy, while Yelu Zongxiao glanced at the door of the hall in confusion. He heard that the Queen Mother announced her entry into the palace, but where is she now? She was hurriedly pulled over by the Eight Wise Kings just now. , he originally wanted to go to Cining Palace to find her, maybe he didn't want to say anything to her face to face, he just looked at her, as if his heart could settle down.
But today everything seemed strange and strange. The Eight Wise Kings had always been cold and distant towards him, but today they took the initiative to invite him to the palace together... And the Queen Mother announced that woman to enter the palace at this juncture!
Could it be that everyone here is hiding something from him?
Thinking of this, the murderous aura in Yelu Zongxiao's eyes became more intense. If the tide surged, there would be a stormy sea at any time.
Yelv Zongxiao glanced at the crowd from the corner of his eye. Nalan Muliang was missing, but there was also one person missing...
Yelu Song!
The strange feeling in Yelu Zongxiao's heart became more and more obvious
Mu Liang, who was being murmured in the hearts of King Tuo and Yelv Zongxiao, was sitting leisurely behind the three-story screen behind the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace. Although he could not see the expressions of the people below, he could hear their voices clearly. For Chu Liang to listen to the movements of those people from such a high position, it was naturally a good thing.
The three-layer screen passed through the hall, covering up the sound of her breathing. Therefore, the people below, even with extraordinary internal strength like Tuo Bokun, could not feel that there was anyone behind the screen.
She was sipping tea and listening to the excitement. On the table in front of her was the imperial edict that the Queen Mother solemnly handed over to her. When she read out the imperial edict, you can imagine Yelv Zongxiao's face!
Mu Liang narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, with no other expression on his face.
When the Queen Mother saw that everyone had arrived, she sent Emperor Liao and Yelu Song. She then glanced at Su Su and said,
"Go and call Lao Jiu." The Lao Jiu in the Queen Mother's mouth is naturally Yelvsong. However, this title is the last time the Queen Mother calls Yelvsong this way.
When all the civil and military officials in the court heard that the Empress Dowager had sent someone to call Yelvsong in person, they were all stunned. Everyone in Bei Liao didn't know who the other was. His Ninth Prince Yelvsong had always been a trouble-making master. At such a young age, they would not dare to do anything without him. The things he did were lustful and extravagant, moody, uneducated and unskilled, and he was thrown into the Royal Academy by the Liao Emperor a few years ago and left to fend for himself. When he arrived at the academy, Yelvsong was even more broken and disappeared. No progress at all
Emperor Liao had long been disappointed with him
Now the Queen Mother may just be nostalgic. In front of all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, she is the only one missing. It is indeed a bit unreasonable! Everyone has speculated in their minds, but most of them still come to this conclusion.
Only the gloomy look on Yelu Zongxiao’s face became more and more obvious
After Su Su left, it took him a while to burn incense before he hurried back. This time, he passed by Nalan Minghui again. It wasn't that he deliberately forgot about him, but that he couldn't care about him.
Su Su came to the Queen Mother and whispered in the Queen Mother's ear, "Queen Mother, I can't find..."
"What?! This... keep looking and looking! This old nine has no guts to leave the palace, go quickly, go quickly." The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, and she whispered to Su Su, and the Eight Wise Kings closest to the Queen Mother also Sensing something, the Eight Wise Kings began to chat casually with some familiar veterans below, in order to relieve the Queen Mother's nervousness and anxiety.
Behind the screen, Mu Liang looked as calm as water. He listened calmly and calmly took a sip of tea, with no expression on his face.
It’s just that the time has come, Yelvsong will definitely appear!
Su Su hurriedly walked out of the hall again. After arranging people to search around, Su Su realized that she had forgotten to look at Nalan Minghui's face during this time. It seemed that in this world, There is really no one or thing that can never be forgotten! Everything has a beginning, and if there is a first time, there will be a second time. Even if the wound heals, it will leave a scar. This scar will last a lifetime, but a scar is still a scar. , even if you stay there, it doesn’t mean the pain is still there!
Su Su breathed a sigh of relief. Right now, she would not think about anything else. She would first find Yelvsong's little ancestor.
Su Su was already looking crazy. Another moment of burning incense passed, but Yelvsong was still not found. Su Su returned to the Jinluan Hall again, with a bitter look on his face as he watched Nalan Minghui hurriedly pass by him. Su Su, with unspeakable worries in his heart, wanted to ask Su Su if there was anyone who needed his help, but in this Jinluan Palace, most people knew the story between him and Su Su. If he opened his mouth, Instead, it became the focus
When Su Su was by his side, he never considered whether she needed his help. On the contrary, now, his emotions were almost out of control.
Nalan Minghui concealed the worry in his eyes with some embarrassment, but saw Su Su hurriedly left again after saying a few words to the Queen Mother. This time, Su Su still didn't look at Nalan Minghui. Flashing for a moment, now this should be the result he has been waiting for for a long time, and he should be relieved! Why, without a trace of relief, does it feel very unpleasant?
Another stick of incense passed, and Su Su came back again, already sweating profusely. In this early winter season, Su Su was wearing thin clothes, but she was sweating profusely from exhaustion, which showed that she was anxious and eager in her heart.
Before Su Su could reach the Queen Mother, Yelu Zongxiao, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and stopped Su Su, and spoke coldly,
"The Queen Mother is returning to the Queen Mother. Today her father is summoning her ministers to meet with civil and military officials. Why can't it start because the ninth brother can't be found? My sons and ministers are eager to see their father. Queen Mother, I want to ask what is today's imperial edict? What was done by the Emperor Father was done by the Queen Mother!!"
As soon as Yelv Zongxiao said this, the officials on his side all agreed. How long has it been? Waiting so purposelessly for a Yelvsong, not to mention Yelv Zongxiao's side, even other officials also expressed their opinions. There are criticisms
And Yelu Zongxiao's words undoubtedly pricked the biggest doubt in everyone's mind.
Since it was the Emperor's call, why didn't he see the Emperor but the Queen Mother? With the Emperor's temper, he would never show up until now for the sake of His Highness the Ninth Prince! There is definitely a hidden secret in this!
As soon as Yelv Zongxiao opened his mouth, the Queen Mother's face turned pale. Su Su was stopped by Yelu Zongxiao. The Eighth Sage King was about to speak when he saw Tuobo Kun gently put down the white jade cup in his hand and spoke coldly,
"Both the Eight Sages and I are in a hurry. Why is Zong Xiao's nephew so agitated? If he is in a hurry, he can go to the Yangxin Palace to find the Emperor and the Queen Mother and wait. It's natural to wait! A person who is a minister and a daughter of others, is
If you wait a day and a night, you shouldn’t have any complaints.”
As soon as Tuo Bokun opened his mouth, the officials who fit the mold of Yelu Zongxiao all lowered their heads cautiously. Naturally, no one had the courage to challenge Tuo Bokun.
The most helpless person in the civil and military affairs of this dynasty is the Eight Wise Kings, and who dares to offend the King of Liao who is helpless even to the Eight Wise Kings? Moreover, Tuobo Kun's temper was never to meddle in other people's business before, but now he actually takes the initiative to speak out.
, all civil and military officials in the dynasty carefully weighed the weight of King Liao's words and did not dare to make any mistakes.
Yelu Zongxiao's face turned frosty, and he immediately hooked up his lips and said with a half-smile, "What the emperor said is true! But Zongxiao didn't wait all day and night for his father. These days, Zongxiao goes to see his father every day, and goes to the capital
If Zong Xiao could have seen him being stopped, he wouldn't have said those words just now!"
When Yelu Zongxiao said these words, he was tantamount to announcing the conflicts during this period to the public and letting all civil and military officials know. Now that even His Highness the Third Highness cannot see the Emperor, could it be that something big happened in the palace?
Behind the screen, Mu Liang was in a good mood as he listened to Tuo Bokun and Yelv Zongxiao's verbal exchange. His cold eyes slowly lowered, and a cold wind blew behind him. The next moment, there was a thin and tall figure on the chair beside him.
