Chapter 422 Let the truth come to light
Nangong Longze glanced at Huangfu Yuqing and said coldly: "Third brother, Nangong Longkui's evil beast, now there is another Shangguan Mo. Woman, how many things do you have to hide from me?"
"I ask myself that I am worthy of my conscience and have never done anything to be sorry to the prince." Huangfu Yuqing Ning met the man's eyes and said lightly.
What she got was the man who snorted coldly, but he didn't say a word and said nothing more. The engraved handsome face was cold and stern. He picked up the teacup on the table in anger and drank it all in one go.
"Maybe... the prince still lacks some trust in me, and one day everything will come to light. I don't want to explain anything anymore." Huangfu Yuqing shook her head and said slowly with a calm voice.
The expression on Nangong Longze's face was slightly stunned and narrowed towards the woman. She stood up slowly and gracefully, erecting her slightly bulging belly, facing another wall opposite, pressing her palm on one of the night pearls on the wall, and gently rotating, the wall also moved. Under the man's surprised eyes, the woman raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said lightly: "The prince wants to leave, I won't leave you anymore, please! This is the exit. Leaving this house is the south of the city. The prince naturally knows the way back..."
"What about you?!" Nangong Longze frowned and stared at the faint smile on the corner of the woman's cold lips.
"The prince has also seen it. My credit agency is now in full swing. There are still some things waiting for me to arrange. However... I will rush back to accompany the prince for dinner before dark." Huangfu Yuqing shrugged her shoulders with a relaxed look and said lightly.
Staring at the woman's beautiful and confident little face and the happy smile on her face, Nangong Longze felt inexplicably shocked. He had to admit that she was really the most charming woman he had ever seen. Although he always hoped that he could become her support and her protective umbrella, he would involuntarily be attracted by it whenever he saw her showing the beauty of self-reliance and independence from her bones.

In the evening, Huangfu Yuqing returned to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. As soon as she got off the carriage, a maid hurriedly came forward: "Princess, the princess asked you to go to the study to see him as soon as you come back."
The woman was slightly stunned. She didn't know why Nangong Longze was so anxious to find her. It sounded like something happened.
Before Huangfu Yuqing could drink water and look at Tuo'er, she walked straight towards the study. Ji Lu was waiting outside the study door and saw her saluting respectfully: "The prince is in a hurry to see the princess..."
"I understand, you can go back first." Huangfu Yuqing nodded, pushed the door open, and saw a familiar figure with the burial of the case at a glance.
Hearing the movement at the door, Nangong Longze raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, and said in a low voice: "A person has come to the harem after Xiangwu, and I told you to come to the palace and see your father today."
Huangfu Yuqing was stunned. Seeing the man's face was so serious, she couldn't help asking back: "Why did the prince know that his father is so anxious to let us enter the palace?"
"I have asked someone to inquire in the palace. This matter should be inseparable from the mother. I heard that she hurried to the imperial study room today to meet her father, so her father sent her father-in-law to the palace to invite us into the palace..." Nangong Longze also noticed something was wrong, so he made some preparations in advance. He said that he also had a spy around the emperor. When encountering such a thing, he just needed to inquire and know a rough idea.
Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing frowned slightly, nodded slowly, and murmured thoughtfully: "Last time on the birthday of her mother, I could feel that the Queen's heart began to become restless again. I wonder what she was going to have this time."
"This... we will know what happened when we enter the palace." Nangong Longze frowned and sighed, his deep and dark eagle eyes were intriguing.
Huangfu Yuqing nodded, and the couple left the mansion in a very nervous mood, got into the carriage that had been prepared and entered the palace.

The atmosphere of Longyang Palace today seemed particularly quiet. Huangfu Yuqing and Nangong Longze had just gotten out of the sedan chair outside the palace gate and happened to meet an unexpected figure. It was Concubine Su from Manhua Palace. She looked like she had just come out of Longyang Palace.
Seeing Nangong Longze and Huangfu Yuqing, Concubine Su seemed not surprised. A strange light flashed through her beautiful almond eyes. She suddenly took two steps forward and held her arm before Huangfu Yuqing bowed to pay her respects. Her eyes couldn't help but make the woman stunned.
Huangfu Yuqing felt that Concubine Su seemed to have something to say to her, but Concubine Su, who had always been extremely vigilant, slowly glanced at the maids behind her and said lightly: "You go to the front to wait for me. I want to ask Princess Pingnan for some pharmacological issues."
The maids responded respectfully and took a step forward. Nangong Longze and Huangfu Yuqing could feel the abnormality in the atmosphere. They stared at Concubine Su in front of them, waiting for her to speak first. The beautiful apricot eyes of Concubine Su slowly swept through Huangfu Yuqing's slightly abdomen, and the outlined smiles before falling back to the woman's face again.
"I heard that the child in Princess Pingnan's belly is only three months old, but it looks a little pregnant..."
When Concubine Su said something, a glimmer flashed through Huangfu Yuqing's eyes. A sentence that seemed unintentional was obviously reminding her, because only Huangfu Yuqing knew that the child in her belly had been four months old, but it was only three months after Concubine Su's mouth, which was obviously different in time.
In the palace, there will be a father-in-law in charge who specifically records the days when the emperor is pregnant. When the concubine is pregnant, they will also conduct corresponding verification. Of course, this work is just to ensure that the concubine is indeed pregnant with a dragon species.
When Nangong Longze heard this, his eagle eyes were also slightly stunned. He suddenly realized that today his father asked them to enter the palace together. It was obviously a Hongmen banquet. Someone must have written an article about the child in Huangfu Yuqing's belly. Three months ago, when Huangfu Yuqing was captured by Nangong Longkui to Xiliang Kingdom, almost everyone knew about it in the palace. If the child in her belly had a different month, her identity would naturally be extremely suspicious.
"Qing'er, you don't have to go in. Just have me alone to deal with it." Nangong Longze said indifferently, as if he was talking about something irrelevant.
Of course, Huangfu Yuqing understood the man's thoughts. She knew that he did not want to let herself be hurt. A momentary touch flashed through her heart, but she also understood that she could not leave at this time. If she left, it would only make the emperor and the queen believe more firmly that the child in her belly was not from Nangong Longze.
"I won't leave." Huangfu Yuqing said lightly: "It just happened to take this opportunity to make the matter come to light."
The man's eyes were slightly stunned, not understanding what she meant. Concubine Su on the side was also slightly stunned. In fact, the reason why she informed Nangong Longze and Huangfu Yuqing was that, first, it was because she couldn't stand the behavior of Queen Zhang, and she would never forget the incident that Queen Zhang tried her best to harm her. Second, it was because... she learned that her sister Su Wu was still alive. It turned out that the girl was actually rescued by Huangfu Yuqing many years ago.
Therefore, Concubine Su, who has never liked to meddle in other people's business, became hiding this time. When she learned about Huangfu Yuqing from Nangong Yan, she deliberately kept waiting for her, hoping to inform her in advance so that the woman could be prepared, just treat it as a reward for her saving her third sister Su Wu's life back then!
"Prince Pingnan, I advise you... to go back first! The emperor also specially invited the imperial physician..." Concubine Su's face became solemn and serious, and her almond eyes stared straight at Huangfu Yuqing's face, without any intention of joking.
When Nangong Yan heard that he had specially invited the imperial physician, Huangfu Yuqing's clear and clear water eyes became brighter, while Nangong Longze's eyebrows were frowning even tighter, and the black line between his forehead was faintly appearing, and his face was also serious: "Qing'er, go back first, I will naturally explain it to my father clearly."
Facing the worries in the eyes of Nangong Longze and Su Guifei, Huangfu Yuqing smiled but said nothing. Under the surprise eyes of the two, she took the lead in walking into the palace gate of Longyang Palace. Nangong Longze was stunned at first, then stepped forward, grabbed the woman's arm without saying anything, and shouted coldly: "Woman, don't you understand what I said?"
"Why doesn't the prince just believe me? I said... the child in my belly is not someone else's." Huangfu Yuqing's face also darkened, and she gave the man annoyed look. After the man was slightly stunned, she shook his hand vigorously and walked into the meteor.
When Concubine Su was slightly stunned when she heard this, a hint of confusion flashed across her apricot eyes. Nangong Longze was still standing in a daze, immersed in the lingering sound of the woman. After a while, she came to her senses and hurriedly followed the direction where the woman's back disappeared.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the hall, Huangfu Yuqing and Nangong Longze asked their father and mother for peace. The woman secretly observed the changes in facial expressions of everyone in the hall. Nangong Yanzheng, sitting on the dragon chaise, stared at Huangfu Yuqing's belly for a moment, his vigorous and gloomy cheeks were a little heavy, and inexplicably brought invisible pressure.
Finally, Queen Zhang, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, spoke first: "The fourth brother, there have been a lot of rumors about Princess Pingnan in the palace recently, and they have all been heard by the emperor. So today the emperor specially sent someone to call you into the palace. I have something to figure out..."
