Chapter 880 Grasshoppers on a rope! Terrified!
After making sure that all the servants were not here, Nangong Tianyang could not help but stare at Nangong Xingyu and whispered.
"Second brother, what is going on?! Where is the backup plan you arranged?
Why did my sister come back safely?!"
His eyes were full of anger, as if he was angry that Nangong Xingyu had played a trick on him.
Even if he was not exposed, if the emperor really wanted to investigate this matter, he might still be found out.
I thought this second brother was very smart, and he would definitely go all out to silence Nangong Jing.
But I didn't expect that he would be so disappointing.
Don't look at Nangong Tianyang's angry look at this time, in fact, he was also very weak in his heart.
Although the killer must have exposed the information of the second brother, the question is whether he would also expose him, no one can say.
If he is also exposed, it will be uncomfortable.
Nangong Xingyu, who was in a very bad mood, slapped the armrest of the chair and stood up.
Then, he heard Nangong Xingyu's loud rebuke.
"How dare you scold me?! If it weren't for the good-for-nothings under your command, would things have turned out like this?!
Hmph! The people I sent out were my biggest trump cards, and my sister was able to come back safely. There must be something wrong.
Maybe she has a master behind her, what can I do to deal with her?"
The two looked at each other for a long time, and they knew that they were now grasshoppers on a rope, and no one could escape responsibility.
The two finally calmed down, and Nangong Tianyang was no longer as tough and angry as before.
"Second brother, what should we do now? My sister is back, and the emperor may know about this soon.
But once we know about this, we will not have a good harvest."
When he thought of the ruthless Nangong Ji, Nangong Tianyang shuddered.
He knew exactly how terrifying his father was.
If you really make your father angry, no matter who you are, you will never forget it.
Now is not the time for internal strife, and the two must find a way to get through this difficult time together.
If we continue to argue, there will be no result anyway, so we might as well think calmly about what to do now.
After thinking this through and calming down, Nangong Xingyu thought for a while.
"Brother, don't be anxious, things may not be as serious as we think.
Let's keep our troops in place for the time being and wait for the next situation to come.
If the emperor summoned us suddenly, it is very likely that the matter has been told to the emperor by my sister.
But if my sister didn't say it, maybe we would be fine."
With his brows furrowed, Nangong Tianyang looked at Nangong Xingyu with some confusion.
"What do you mean by this? How could my sister not tell the emperor about this?"
He couldn't figure out why Nangong Xingyu had such an idea.
My sister has already returned, so how could she not tell the emperor about this.
If my sister knew that this matter was done by the two brothers, she would definitely not miss this opportunity to suppress them.
After all, the two of them still have some foundation in the court.
As a sister, it is also difficult for Nangong Jing to become the heir with the support of the emperor.
But if we use this incident to kick them out, won't the position of heir be more stable?
Could it be that this sister will be kind enough to let them get through this difficult time smoothly?
Hearing this, Nangong Xingyu sighed slightly. His eldest brother has some wisdom, but not much.
"Our sister is not ordinary smart. Don't use ordinary ideas to guess her.
She has no evidence. If she reports this matter to the father, even if the father knows, he will not listen to the sister's one-sided words.
At most, there will be some doubts about the specific situation of this matter. Whether it can be investigated to us is another matter.
My sister is a smart person. I believe she will not make this decision at this time."
It must be said that Nangong Xingyu's brain is really good. He actually guessed that Nangong Jing would not report this news to Nangong Ji.
And after listening to his analysis, Nangong Tianyang, who was originally nervous and flustered, finally felt relieved.
As for being completely relieved, it is not the time yet.
At least we have to wait until the father and sister meet to know.
Don't be anxious yet, worrying will lead to confusion.
"Brother, if there is nothing, go back quickly.
We should meet as little as possible, just pretend that nothing happened, so as not to be suspected by the emperor."
Nangong Xingyu directly ordered to expel him.
"Okay! Then I'll listen to you. I'll go back first. I hope things will be as you think."
After leaving this sentence, Nangong Tianyang left here with heavy steps.
After sending Nangong Tianyang away, Nangong Xingyu was also very anxious in his heart, just hoping that things would develop as he thought.
He bet that his sister would not tell the emperor about this matter without any empty words, and he must find evidence first.
But he did bet right.
...
In the imperial study.
During this period, Nangong Ji often locked himself in the imperial study.
He wanted to be alone and think about the current problem.
Now that he has received the help of the Rakshasa Palace, it is time to launch a counterattack.
It's just that Nangong Jing must come forward to deal with the specific cooperation with Luosha Palace.
He was waiting for Nangong Jing to come back and discuss what to do next.
Not long after, a sharp voice of a eunuch suddenly came from outside.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess asks for an audience."
When he heard the words "the eldest princess", Nangong Ji finally smiled.
"Let her in!"
He just wanted to see his daughter as soon as possible and discuss this matter with her.
Outside the imperial study, Nangong Ji's personal old eunuch saw Nangong Jing's current embarrassed look and didn't know what to say for a while.
He originally wanted the princess to go back and wash up before meeting His Majesty, but the princess refused.
There was no way, he couldn't control the princess's affairs.
"Your Majesty, please come in."
As he said that, the old eunuch gently pushed open the door of the imperial study.
Nangong Jing, who looked a little embarrassed, nodded and went directly into the imperial study.
The old eunuch shook his head helplessly and closed the door again.
He knew that something must have happened. Her Royal Highness the Princess was so embarrassed and came back alone without any guards.
This already showed that there was a problem.
But he was just a eunuch. This kind of thing was not his responsibility, and he didn't dare to ask more.
He knew better than anyone that the more you know, the faster you die.
