Chapter 233 The Man's Apology
Nangong Longze's deep eagle eyes seemed like a bottomless deep pool, and his quiet and low voice was a little slight: "You were drunk last night, and I took you back to your house."
A complex flashed through Huangfu Yuqing's water eyes. It seemed that she and Feng Ling did not throw away Ji Lu last night. If Nangong Longze went there, he would probably have met Shangguan Mo.
As if she saw the woman’s thoughts, Nangong Longze’s mellow and low voice emanated again: “I ask you, did you deliberately help me deceive me when I encircled Qinglong Palace last time?”
Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing was silent, then slowly raised her eyes and met the man's eyes. The corners of her cold lips raised, and a self-deprecating sneer appeared: "Yes, I lied to the prince at the beginning, so is the prince planning to settle the score in the autumn?"
"No, I don't plan to pursue this matter again." The man almost didn't even think about it. Huangfu Yuqing heard his answer the next second, and a flash of incredible light flashed across his water eyes, not understanding what the man was thinking about at this moment.
The eyes were intertwined in the air, Huangfu Yuqing looked at the man's eagle eyes, the watery eyes were clear and clear, dodging without any evasion, slowly and said in a low voice again: "The words are what the prince himself said, don't just turn over the old accounts in the future..."
The woman's calm voice was faint, and the smile on the corners of her lips was hesitant. Although the voice was light, every word was clear. Every word was deeply touching the man's heart. Nangong Longze's deep pupils seemed to restrain the boundless bright light, and were as gentle as stars. Suddenly, she raised her hand and her thick fingertips fell on the woman's cheek: "I am in your eyes..."
The man's gentle and low voice slowly escaped, but before he could speak, the woman threw his slender fingers off her cheek without leaving any trace. Then Huangfu Yuqing lifted the bedding and got up, and said coldly: "The prince is just the prince in my eyes..."
He raised his hand and picked up the fox fur cloak hanging on the screen. The man's long arms were hooked from behind. Huangfu Yuqing's slightly tilted body had not yet stood firm, and the whole person had fallen into the man's warm embrace. The man's strong and powerful arms were filled with violent force, which made her unable to move at all. The feeling of tightly clamping almost suffocating her.
"Your Majesty let me go." Huangfu Yuqing frowned slightly, her voice was not loud, but she could make people feel the stubbornness in it.
"Don't let it go." The two words that the man said were also unwaveringly convinced, as if she would disappear from her eyes as soon as he let go.
Huangfu Yuqing couldn't struggle, and was angry and annoyed, and had nowhere to vent. She turned her head and bit the man's arm hard. She only heard a low groan from Fang Yi above her head. The woman's strength was quite strong when she blew down, as if she wanted to bite off his piece of flesh.
"If this makes you feel better, just bite it!" The man's mellow and magnetic voice seemed to endure the pain, his face was as calm as water, and his brows were not frowning at all.
It is logical that he could vent his anger after biting this heavily, but at this moment Huangfu Yuqing's mood did not feel any relief. Her water eyes were inexplicably covered with a faint mist, and her teeth slowly relaxed, leaving her face away from looking at the man.
The pain on his arm had not yet dissipated, but Nangong Longze had no time to take care of it. He stared at the side profile of the woman, and the faint ripples that were involved in his heart spread out, radiating layers of pity and tenderness.
After a while, the man's magnetic low voice escaped again: "Have you calmed down?"
Huangfu Yuqing didn't say anything until the man's fingers slid down her warm hair, and the woman's cold voice broke out again: "I think it's better to be separated from the prince for a while. Everyone calmly think about whether it's appropriate to continue living together..."
"Qing'er..." Nangong Longze's deep eagle eyes flashed through a strange color, his face showed a slight expression, he wanted to speak but stopped. After a while, he finally said a few words: "Qing'er... I misunderstood you first, and I'm sorry!"
The air in the room suddenly became silent. The white heat from the man's sexy thin lips seemed to be as if the light green and light blue clouds were covered with smoke peaks, blurring the woman's eyes. The man who has always been cold and arrogant could actually hear the three words from his mouth, which really made Huangfu Yuqing's watery eyes slightly stunned, and a flash of shock. But for a prosecutor like her who has received higher education, her mind is often used to analyze problems with reason. It is indeed not easy for him to apologize to her in a low voice today, but what she wants is not just an apology. People's hearts are very small, and she cannot accept that he still pretends to be someone else in his heart.
"Your Majesty, don't apologize, you let go of me first..." Huangfu Yuqing's cold voice slowly softened, and her watery eyes stared at the man's eyes. A few words seemed to be thin and dense, instantly causing the man to lose his direction. He stared at the woman in a daze, as if he was bewitched, and slowly let go of his big hand according to her words.
Huangfu Yuqing tightened the fox fur cloak on her body, and quietly converged to the man's eyes. The man's deep pupils were deep and focused, penetrated into the depths of her heart, stirring up a soft and powerful undercurrent. The woman's beautiful figure was reflected in the depths of the man's pupils, flashing with bright light, like the brightest one among the bright stars by the lake, touching emotions, unbeatable, and entangling the complex feelings of women.
If he was stared like this again, Huangfu Yuqing was really worried that she would be captured by the two deep pools by accident. The man's infatuated eyes made her feel inexplicably nervous and turned around suddenly, not wanting to meet her eyes again.
Unexpectedly, just before the woman's body had completely turned, the warm palm wind whistled, and the next second, the soft lips were bent over and kissed by Nangong Longze. The warm body temperature was filled with domineering tenderness, which made the woman feel a little frightened, and the heart lake was filled with thousands of waves. The rich and domineering wild aura was so familiar that the man's strength made her nowhere to escape.
A gentle kiss wrapped the woman tightly. The thin lips of a man can always accurately touch her sensitivity, causing the woman to be completely surrounded by favor and deeply trap the softest part in her heart.
Huangfu Yuqing's meticulous and rational mind also became drowsy at this moment. I don't know if the alcoholism from last night had not dissipated. At this moment, under the man's hot attack, his brain became blank. His wet and gentle lips slid down from the woman's forehead, biting her sensitive earlobes, and finally buried it in his neck. The dark and deep eagle eyes passed by the woman's half-closed watery eyes. The tenderness like water made her feel dazed, as safe as a dream.
I don’t know how long it took, but the man slowly let go of his lips, and his magnetic hoarse voice came out: “Qing'er, forgive me…”
This sound suddenly woke the woman up from the haze. Huangfu Yuqing opened her eyes tremblingly, her long eyelashes moved slightly, her cheeks felt warm. When she raised her eyes, the watery eyes hit the man's dark and bloody red pupils and curled a trace of complexity. It was fleeting, and she gently stroked her face, and her slender fingers rubbed her delicate skin back and forth.
In an instant, Huangfu Yuqing seemed to see a deep pain in the man's eyes. Was he afraid? For a man like him, what else is there in the world that he is afraid of.
"Prince." She whispered: "Do you love me?"
Nangong Longze was silent for a few seconds, staring at the woman's eyes with a straight look, and said in a low voice: "Love."
Huangfu Yuqing's watery eyes were slightly stunned and continued to ask softly: "What if compared with Miss Su? Which one is the prince loves more?"
"You are my concubine, and of course you are the one I care more about. Su Wu was saved by you, and now she has left with Du Zhi. Do we still have to continue the cold war because of her?" Nangong Longze stared at the person in front of him deeply, his eyes regained a light, deep and sharp, thick and warm big hand, holding the woman's tenderness tightly.
The morning sun shone into the house through the hollow wooden window, outlining the man's handsome side outline with a clear edge. When he raised his eyes, the man's eyes were above the cloud peaks. Looking from a distance, Huangfu Yuqing shook his mind slightly. The silence that he exuded all over her made her feel distressed. Could it be that she was really making trouble?
For a moment, the woman fell into silence, and the lonely figure of the man was so close that it seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her. The coldness and loneliness made her heart tighten, and the suppressed pain and sadness were vaguely painful. The man's magnetic low voice slowly came slowly: "Qing'er, you should understand my character. I am also a person who values friendship. Even if Su Wu has become the past, I still hope that she can live a happy life. After all,... she is the person I once liked, and this is a fact that cannot be erased."
Huangfu Yuqing stood quietly in place. The faint sadness revealed in the man's tone made her puzzled. Who was his sadness for? For Su Wu's departure? Or care about herself?
A loud cry sounded in the cradle. The fat boy who had been waking up for a long time and had been neglected finally couldn't help but feel lonely and cried loudly at his parents who were close to him. His crying immediately dissolved the delicate atmosphere between the adults.
Before Huangfu Yuqing could set off, the man had already walked towards the cradle with great strides and said in a low voice: "Stop, let me hug this fat boy."
Huangfu Yuqing didn't say anything, but the warmth of the man's palm remained at the fingertips. After watching Xiao Buli fall into the man's arms, she stopped crying. Her mood became complicated inexplicably, and the coldness wrapped around her heart had already melted unknowingly.
"Will the prince not enter the palace today? Leave the child to me..." Huangfu Yuqing said lightly, and also walked towards the cradle.
Nangong Longze narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled sly: "My mother who entered the palace yesterday mentioned that she wanted to Buli, so I will take you and your son to the palace to stay together for two days."
Huangfu Yuqing's eyes moved, her eyebrows were distant: "Is the prince worried that you would run away from home with your children?"
"I am saying serious things. Not only is the mother's explanation, but the emperor and grandmother also asked the father to send me a message." Nangong Longze's lips were slightly sharp, with a slight arrogance: "Besides... If you take your children away from home again, I will definitely catch you mother and son back. You can't escape from me again in this life."

The ground trembled a few times, almost as if everyone was so scared that they were ashamed. No one had ever encountered such a time. There were many screams of fear in the crowd. Before Huangfu Yuqing could come back to her, another whistling wind came. Nangong Longze, who was running towards her, hooked his long arms, and in the blink of an eye, pulled the woman from Nangong Longkui's arms into his arms.
The storm had subsided at this moment, but everyone's mood was unable to calm down. The frightened Empress Dowager trembled slightly: "What's going on? Could it be that he was angry?"
As soon as the Empress Dowager's words came out, they immediately received recognition from most people. Some people in the crowd began to speculate why God was angry? Nangong Yan's eyebrows were deeply locked. The shaking of the sky and the ground just now did scare him. His heart was still pounding and he couldn't calm down.
Just as everyone was chattering, a strange color flashed across Huangfu Yuqing's water eyes. It was not difficult to see from the situation just now that it was an earthquake, but it was obvious that the epicenter was not in the capital. If it was an earthquake in the capital, the Qionglou and Yuyu in the palace would not be spared. After all, the earthquake should be a place not too far from the capital.
When Nangong Yan came to his senses, he spoke in a low voice: "Is it really that the general of heaven is venting his anger on others? I passed on my will and summoned all my beloved ministers to enter the palace to discuss matters quickly, which is urgent."
Just as the man's words finished, Huangfu Yuqing's cold voice sounded: "Father, it was an earthquake just now. If I guessed it well, if the epicenter was not far from the capital, the disaster would not be too serious. If the epicenter was far from the capital, I am afraid that this time... the people will be seriously affected!"
As soon as she said something, there was another uproar in the crowd. Obviously, she was completely unaware of her words. Even the brothers Nangong Longze and Nangong Longkui who were standing beside her could not help but give strange eyes to her.
"Qinger, what's the basis for what you said...?" Nangong Longze's mellow voice was pressed down. This was the first time he heard about the earthquake. However, based on ancient books handed down from all ages, such strange things have happened. It's not contemporary and cannot be verified. He can only read the basics of the ancient books handed down by his ancestors.
"Is there any basis for this? If you think about it, you will know that if you are close to the capital, the degree of the earthquake just now will not cause too much disaster. But if we can have such a strong reaction here due to a long distance, it can only mean that the intensity of this earthquake is very high, and the collapse of the houses and the casualties of the people will definitely be inevitable." Huangfu Yuqing looked serious and confronted the man's puzzled eyes and explained it carefully.
"Earthquakes are also called crustal movement, and most of them occur in young mountain ranges. Now it seems that the capital should also be in the earthquake zone, but there is no need to panic. After all, earthquakes do not happen from time to time."
Although Huangfu Yuqing was very vocal, her words were obviously questioned by everyone. Even the Empress Dowager could not help but frown and shook her head slowly: "Qing'er, you are a woman, where did you hear these fallacies? The Ai family has never heard of such a strange thing since they lived to this age."
The Empress Dowager didn't believe what she said, and Huangfu Yuqing really didn't know how to explain it. She knew that it would not work to talk to these women about scientific principles, so she could only hope that Nangong Yan would make a wise decision.
"Grandma Huang, what Qing'er said is definitely the truth. The most important thing is to figure out the epicenter position. The key is to be able to provide disaster relief in the shortest time..." Huangfu Yuqing looked at the Empress Dowager with pleading eyes.
The old empress dowager still frowned and insisted on her thoughts: "From the Ai family, this is God's warning to our Lingyue Kingdom. The emperor must be vigilant and find out the crux of the problem. In a few days, it will be the fifteenth day. The emperor will also take time to go to Lingyin Temple to incense, begging the Buddha to bless my Yueling Kingdom with peace and safety."
Nangong Yannian was narrowing his face and looked a little irritable. The sudden scene today was already a mess. At this moment, he saw two women expressing their opinions, making him not sure who should listen to for a while. However, after listening carefully, he was more inclined to the Queen Mother's statement. Although Huangfu Yuqing's words sounded good, after all, no one had ever heard of something that would shock the earth, which seemed a bit outrageous.
"I will discuss this with my beloved ministers before making a decision." Nangong Yan nodded slowly, thinking about something.
………Susu’s gorgeous dividing line……………
Above the Jinluan Temple, there were long memorials in front of the Sinanmu table. All the ministers who rushed into the court also felt the earthquake just now. On the way, they wiped the memorials and submitted them one by one.
As Nangong Yan looked at it, his frowning brows became more and more relaxed. Almost all the ministers' opinions were consistent with the Empress Dowager, which also made him, the emperor, less concerned about making decisions. But here, there was a memorial that made the man's just stretched brows tightly and twisted into a ball again. The running script on the memorial was elegant and flowing early, clear and bone-like, and relaxed and orderly. When it was elegant, it was deep and sharp, and the steep and proud place was heavy but not exposed. It was written along the bright yellow paper.
This font is not unfamiliar with Nangong Yan. It is the handwriting of the fourth brother Nangong Longze. However, the content on it made the man frown. As his eyes fell to the last sign of the memorial, Nangong Longze's signature was sharp and the fragrance of amber and ink was faintly revealed on the paper.
"Fourth brother, what's going on?" Nangong Yan frowned. Unexpectedly, Nangong Longze would reorganize Huangfu Yuqing's words and wipe them clearly into memorials and submit them.
"Father, I think... Qing'er's words are not without reason. I have seen the theory of earthquakes in history books. Although it sounds absurd, it is not really impossible to happen after thinking about it carefully."
