After the gourds became refined, farming made a fortune and exploded in another world

Chapter 118

Mu Zhi was not surprised when he heard her words. At first, the empress only wanted to travel around the world, but she loved the emperor so much that she gave up her freedom and would rather be imprisoned in the deep palace.

Although he had only met Empress Xian twice, he also felt that His Highness's temper was very similar to Empress Xian's, and it was normal not to want to be restrained.

"Your Highness, I don't want you to be involved in the affairs of the palace. I just want His Highness to be safe and healthy, but Your Highness, do you know why the former empress and the queen mother asked the emperor to make you the protector of the country?" Kinomoto didn't want to tell His Highness about these things. When the barbarians started, he changed his mind.

This world was brought down with the help of the former queen, and His Highness should take back what belongs to her.

Nan Xi looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, "Why?"

The storm is coming!
"Your Highness, the emperor who protects the country has the same rights as the crown prince, and has the right to inherit the throne. It is because of this that the emperor does not want you to go back to Beijing. The current emperor is fatuous and suspicious. It was because the first queen asked for such a title for His Highness. Your Majesty He felt that his status was threatened, so he planned to kill the first empress."

In fact, without the title of His Highness, the emperor would not let the former queen and the Nan family go.

Mu Zhi solemnly knelt on one knee, "Your Highness, if you want to go back and take back everything that belongs to you, I will follow you to the death!"

If the barbarians invade the Central Plains again, such a fatuous emperor will be unable to defend against foreign enemies, and the crown prince is also a villain who can't stand on the stage. The only one who can control the overall situation is His Highness.

His Royal Highness should take over the country that the previous queen conquered.

"It turns out that there is another meaning. Why does my mother insist on giving me this title? My mother's ambitions are not small, so it's no wonder she got killed." Nan Xi was a little puzzled, how could her mother be so confused?
In this era of supremacy of imperial power, isn't it a disaster for nothing to challenge the emperor's bottom line?
"Your Highness, that's not the case. It can be said that most of the land in Qingli Kingdom was brought down by the Nan family army led by the former empress. For the sake of the emperor, the former empress would rather be imprisoned in the deep palace and lose her freedom, but the emperor broke the vow between them. , the queen was disheartened, and she had already seen the emperor's true nature.

The first queen wanted to use this method to contain him, to keep the Nan family and you and the queen mother in this way, as long as the Nan family army's soldier amulet is in the hands of His Highness, the emperor will also be controlled by others. The queen mother dared not reveal the reason for killing the Nan family. "

"Your Highness, after the first empress passed away, you also disappeared. This is the emperor's conspiracy. He doesn't want you to compete with his son for the throne, and he doesn't want the shadow of the former empress to be by his side at all times. The emperor suppressed the Nan family more and more these years. In order to protect themselves, the Nan family had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and never interfered in the affairs of the court, only the queen mother believed that you were not dead, and kept asking the humble staff to find you."

"This kind of royal family is already extremely corrupt, do you really not plan to go back and take over the throne?" Mu Zhidao.

He is the leader of Xuanye Pavilion and will not interfere in the affairs of the court. If His Highness wants to go back and fight for the throne, he will follow him to the death.

Nan Xi looked into the distance with long eyes, "Get up! I misunderstood my mother, she just wanted to protect my family and me, I was wrong."

For her mother to be able to give her this title, she must have despaired of that person.

Since ancient times, there have been tens of thousands of words, but only the word love hurts people the most.

Mother wanted to take this title, but she didn't actually want her to sit on the throne of God, it was just for a guarantee, right?

However, this guarantee cannot be guaranteed for a long time, and the mother underestimated the humanity of that person.

Nan Xi looked into the distance quietly, with a cold and firm luster in his eyes. The road to the top was full of thorns. If you want to get something, you have to pay a price. This is equal.

Probably from this moment on, countless dangers will appear around her, and it is time for her to get ready.

Since it is the mother's wish, then why not just take this thorny road to heaven!
Nan Xi walked towards the backyard, there were some things she needed to think about.

"Your Highness, the barbarians in Mobei are ready to move now. The imperial court doesn't have any generals to dispatch the border, and there is not enough food and grass in the future. The emperor will not go to war easily. If you want to go back, you must go back as soon as possible." Mu Zhi followed Nan Xi with a steady pace. .

Qinglian and Honglian followed the two from a distance, pretending not to hear their conversation.

Nan Xi didn't stop, and the two returned to the house. There was still fire spar in the room, and the chill on their bodies was dispelled when they entered the room.

Mu Zhi personally helped her untie the cloak, put it on the hanger, raised his hand to signal Qinglian and Honglian to step down, and made tea himself.

Nan Xi sat down and looked at the desolate scenery outside the window, "The barbarians will not easily go to war. If this year's heavy snow falls, the barbarians will be even more overwhelmed. We still have time to prepare."

Mu Zhi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Nan Xi, then walked around behind her naturally, raised his hand and gently squeezed her shoulders and neck, with just the right strength, which didn't make Nan Xi feel any pain at all.

"What Your Highness said is that if there is really a heavy snow this year, the barbarians will indeed be too busy to take care of themselves, but our soldiers will suffer. The emperor does not believe Yuan Che's memorial, and the border army will have a hard time this winter."

Mu Zhi raised his hand and pressed gently on Nan Xi's temple.

Nan Xi squinted her eyes in enjoyment, and said in a lazy voice, "You're right! Since I'm the emperor protecting the country, I can't watch the border guards suffer. I heard that General Nan is guarding the border here. Is it from my mother's family?"

She remembered that the last time she went to Liuting Town, the frontier battalion increased troops, and those passers-by said that it was General Nan.

They are all surnamed Nan, so they must have some connection with the Nan family in Shangjing.

Muzhi softly stroked Nan Xi's temples, with a gentle voice, "Your Highness is right, your second uncle Nan Peiying is stationed here at the border camp, and your uncle Nan Changgeng is the current Chief Assistant, and now the Nan family is also in turmoil. .”

"Grandpa Nan has resigned from office, and now he is spending his days at home. The descendants of the Nan family are all pretending to be dudes on the surface. In fact, they are trying to keep a low profile and prevent the emperor from paying attention to the Nan family."

As long as they are officials in Shangjing, they are all under the supervision of Xuanye Pavilion, and the Nan family is no exception.

Nan Xi opened his eyes and asked Mu Zhi to sit down, "So, I really have to go back to Beijing."

The life of the Nan family is not easy now, and the queen mother is also in the Buddhist hall all day long. If she doesn't go back to Shangjing, the Nan family will really be annexed by the emperor.

Muzhi sat down opposite her, forked a piece of pastry and handed it to her, "Your Highness, if you don't want to deal with these things, you don't have to go back. As long as His Highness doesn't want to, the humble position will not let him happen."

Mu Zhi's drooping eyes covered the emotions in his eyes, and no one could influence His Highness' wishes.

Nan Xi smiled faintly, "Mu Zhi, in fact, as long as you do your job well as a leader, no one will find fault with you. We have only known each other for a short time. Why are you being so kind to me?"
