Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 248 Father, You Are Not Dead!

In the prime minister's house, a servant hurried in and said loudly: "Prime Minister, the eldest young master and the third young lady are back!"

"Qin'er!"

Nangong Jue's eyes froze, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

"grandfather."

Before he could react, Nangong Qin and Nangong Yue had already walked into the house and greeted him respectfully.

Looking at his eldest grandson, whom he had not seen for more than a year, Nangong Jue slowly raised his old right hand and pointed at Nangong Qin incredulously, "Qin... Qin'er, you... why are you back?!"

Nangong Qin lowered his head and said, "Back to grandpa, it was Prince Zhuang who took the initiative to let me back."

Nangong Jue suddenly frowned and looked at Nangong Qin in confusion, "Why? Why would Prince Zhuang let you out?! Qin'er, did you agree to any of his conditions?"

Nangong Qin did not hesitate at all, but asked: "Grandpa, the prince has fallen. Even if you want to join forces with King Qi, are you sure that you can defeat King Zhuang?"

Once the battle for the throne is involved, the result will inevitably be life and death. Grandpa's current behavior is a gamble. If you are not careful, the entire Nangong family will be buried with you.

King Zhuang was willing to let him back this time, and he didn't use any excuses on him. It could be said that he just wanted to see how he would choose.

Test whether he is really willing to help the other person, or whether he has other ideas.

And if the other party dares to let him come back so confidently, he must have his own confidence.

If the prince had not died and the queen had not fallen, the Prime Minister's Office might still be able to fight with Prince Zhuang.

but now....

To put it bluntly, King Zhuang did not want to mess up the situation in Kyoto, so he did not take action against the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Nangong Yue, who was next to him, couldn't help but look up at Nangong Jue, wanting to see how grandpa would answer this question.

"So what if we can't fight? We at the Prime Minister's Office have other options?!"

Immediately, Nangong Jue raised his head to look at his eldest grandson and asked in a low voice: "Qin'er, are you coming back this time to persuade me to repair the relationship with Prince Zhuang's Mansion and Xiao Mansion?"

Seeing that grandpa was still unwilling to listen, Nangong Qin replied: "No, I just explained the stakes to grandpa. As for why King Zhuang let me back this time, it was entirely because King Zhuang had begun to be suspicious of King Qi. , he wanted me to find a way to get close to King Qi and understand the other party’s situation.”

He wasn't worried that his grandfather would reveal the matter.

Although King Qi is grandpa's grandson-in-law, he is just an outsider and cannot value him more than his eldest grandson, because he is destined to inherit the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future.

Telling the other party this matter also hopes that grandpa can understand that King Zhuang is ready to take action against King Qi. As for King Qi's current strength, he has no qualifications to compete with King Zhuang.

At least the other party showed some leverage, and Prince Zhuang could eradicate him.

Nangong Jue's face was stunned and he couldn't help but ask: "So, Prince Zhuang is willing to let you out because of this condition!"

Nangong Qin nodded, "Exactly."

Seeing Nangong Jue's calm look, Nangong Jue slowly lowered his head and said sadly: "You all go down first! Let me think about it alone."

"Grandpa, let's retreat first."

Nangong Qin knew that his grandfather was now in a decision-making process and it was not appropriate to disturb him. After bowing his head and saying hello, he took Nangong Yue out of the house.

It wasn't until Nangong Qin and the others left the house completely that Nangong Jue sighed softly, with a trace of sadness on his face.

He knew what kind of temper his eldest grandson was, and what he said just now was probably not a lie.

In other words, now he has to make a choice in front of King Qi and Nangong Qin.

....

Outside the house, Nangong Yue hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked Nangong Qin, "Cousin, are you really ready to help Prince Zhuang?"

My cousin just explained everything, it was a showdown with grandpa. At the same time, he also hoped that his grandfather would give up his alliance with Prince Qi and find a way to repair the relationship with Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

Nangong Qin glanced at Nangong Yue and whispered: "As the eldest grandson of the family, I have been in the dungeon for more than a year, but the Prime Minister's Office has no way to rescue me. If Prince Zhuang had not used me, I might still be in the dungeon. He lingers in a dark and dirty dungeon, waiting for the fate of being slaughtered at any time. This seemingly powerful Prime Minister's Office is actually ordinary, and cannot use many connections. "

"My grandpa may have been the prime minister for a long time and feels that he can still lead the ministers and be respected by others."

Nangong Yue glanced at Nangong Qin quietly, her eyebrows moved slightly, not knowing how to answer.

He could feel that his cousin's mood had changed slightly. He still respected his grandfather, but he would no longer blindly follow his arrangements.

As for being arrested, my cousin may still have some complaints in his heart, but he didn't show it.

After a brief silence, Nangong Qin looked at Nangong Yue again and whispered: "Okay, I won't say much else. Cousin, I'm going back first."

After saying that, Nangong Qin walked straight towards the inner courtyard, ready to go back and rest.

After being away from home for so many years, he could hardly remember what his room looked like back then.

Looking at Nangong Qin's retreating figure, Nangong Yue's eyes moved slightly, with a confused look in his eyes.

If my cousin really plans to help King Zhuang, can grandpa be ruthless enough to deal with him?

There is also King Yun Gu Che. He obviously has no intention of competing with King Zhuang for the throne. Should he go back and tell his grandfather? !

....

"Qin'er!!"

As soon as Nangong Qin walked to the door of his room, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Nangong Qin turned around to look. When he saw the man coming over clearly, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and he blurted out: "Father, you are not dead!"

He had heard about the hunting in the dungeon and knew that his father Nangong Qian planned to kill Prince Mobei and was executed by Emperor Wu. When he first learned of his father's death, he was equally grief-stricken and even had the urge to commit suicide.

How could he not be surprised now that he saw his father appearing in front of him intact?

Nangong Qian walked quickly to the other party and said softly: "Qin'er, let's go in and talk!"

"OK."

After returning to the room, Nangong Qin immediately looked at Nangong Qianpan and asked: "Father, haven't you been executed by His Majesty? Why..."

Before Nangong Qin could finish speaking, Nangong Qian immediately explained: "I was indeed executed by His Majesty, but the night before the execution, your grandfather sent someone to lay down the jailer, and then arranged for someone to exchange me, so at the time The person who was executed was actually just a stand-in for me.”

Nangong Qian did not tell the story of Gu Chen's discovery of the cheating, because now he is not sure whether his son is on his grandfather's side or on his own.

Instead, he told the whole situation himself to ensure that the other party would tell the truth to his grandfather.

Nangong Qian didn't dare to gamble on this move.

Nangong Qin also suddenly understood at this moment, nodded and replied: "That's it, I thought grandpa didn't think of a way to save father."
