Chapter 160: The Emperor Allows the People to Sympathize wit
s. 。Qingxuan rolled her eyes in disgust on the third floor's elegant room. 。Nan Gong Hua is really shameless, actually having the audacity to say that the Qitian Sword in his hand was a replica forged...Ling Ruo only felt her eyes ached so badly that it wasn't like her own, she hated to gouge out her eyes.
Her eyes were bloodshot, tears still streaming down her face. She only opened her eyes when she bowed to the emperor, but whenever she looked down, the pain was so intense that she had to close her eyes tightly. 。
Ling didn't even bother to look at Nangong Ye's appearance.
As a result, she was certain that the Nangong Ye before her was an imposter. As soon as Zhou Gonggong finished speaking, Ling Ruo took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, the former King Chen was poisoned and was worse than dead.
How is it even possible to still be alive 。Otherwise, you wouldn't be here today to bestow poison wine upon the Duke of Wei. 。The Crown Prince before me is clearly someone this Crown Princess hired to impersonate him in order to survive. 。As Ling Luo's voice fell, a cold sneer filled with sorrow echoed from the entrance of Chen Wangfu. 。
Nangong Ye's deep eyes dimmed: "Father Emperor, in the past, I was accused of treason and rebellion, although I didn't do it. But I have already received the punishment I deserved, being confined to Chenwangfu and becoming a deposed prince.
During my captivity, I was unfortunately the target of a treacherous plot and poisoned. The poison took hold, leaving me in a state between life and death, neither human nor spirit, a living nightmare. 。Just when the son was about to give up hope of living, his father bestowed upon him a marriage. 。Fortuitously, thanks to Xuan'er's arrival, the poison that plagued me was dispelled. Now, I can once again appear before everyone like a normal person and truly live. 。"But... my son never thought that I would become a deposed king, a waste of existence who doesn't even deserve to live." 。Just a mere county princess could dare to publicly humiliate my wife, beating and scolding her. 。Now even my own wife I can't protect, I am a failure to Xuan'er and unworthy of being a husband. 。Thus, Father's arrival is opportune. Please grant your son a death. 。Now, Nangong Yejun's handsome and thin face was etched with disappointment at this world. 。
Qingxuan's heart trembled slightly.
Nan Gong Ye...Qing Xuan instinctively clenched her fists. 。
Qingxuan knew that Nangong Ye's expression at this moment wasn't feigned. In a daze, Qingxuan's mind once again brought forth the first time she had met Nangong Ye. In his deep eyes, there wasn't a hint of light, only resentment and despair towards this world.
At this moment, Nangong Ye must be reminiscing about himself back then. 。Qingxuan took a deep breath, her face resolute as well. 。She bowed to the emperor and said, "I beg your Majesty to grant us a cup of poisoned wine so that my husband and I can escape this humiliation and attain eternal bliss." 。The scene fell silent. 。But at this moment, silence was more powerful than words. The people looked at Nánguāng Yè who was now disabled, and Qīngyuán kneeling on the ground, unable to rise. Their eyes were full of sympathy for the couple. 。
When the emperor accused Namgung Yeop of treason, the people even organized to drum and plead for him. But the people's spontaneous actions were quickly suppressed by the government.
Even if they couldn't avenge Namgung Yeom-neung back then, the people still hold great respect for Namgung Yep to this day. 。The former war god, after being repeatedly betrayed, could only seek solace in a cup of poison to end his suffering. 。Whoever looks at the scene before them would feel sympathy for Nangong Ye and Qing Xuan. 。The Emperor's gaze was sharp as he watched the scene before him. He certainly hadn't missed the people's reaction to Nangong Ye at this moment. 。The emperor's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. 。
If things remained the same, he would see the overwhelming adoration that the people had for Nangong Ye. Even with this poisoned wine, Nangong Ye and his wife wouldn't live long.
Now, however, he is no longer himself. His son has become a useless person and can't make waves anymore. 。The Emperor, satisfied, withdrew his gaze from the crowd and finally landed it on Nangong Ye. 。
The Emperor: “Ye’er, you were poisoned. The imperial physician had already seen you and said that your poison was severe, weakening your body to the point where you couldn't even get out of bed. You even struggled to speak.
"Given your severe condition, did Qi Qingxuan even manage to heal you"The emperor's words trailed off as his gaze shifted to Qingxuan kneeling on the ground, her forehead pressed against it. 。Even though Qingxuan wasn't looking up at the Emperor right now, she could still clearly feel the Emperor's suspicious gaze. 。Well, back then even the imperial physicians were helpless against her illness. How could she, just a daughter of the Qi family, possibly cure Nangong Ye's terminal disease 。ng afraid after she realized the consequences of attacking Ling Ruo without thinking.This brainless shrew deserves to be pushed out of the Bi Ji Hou Mansion and made a consort for burial.Lingru covere...
