After rebirth, he became the favorite of the Moon Goddess.

"The rest of you should also step aside. I want to talk to His Highness the Ninth Prince alone." Chen Shuxian waved her hands to the maids serving around her.

"Yes, empress." After hearing this, everyone retreated.

Soon, Nangong Yueze and Chen Shuxian were the only two people left in the hall.

Seeing that the palace was quiet again, Chen Shuxian took Nangong Yueze's hand and slowly sat down on a chair, "Ze'er, you have been in coma for three years. My mother-in-law is really scared." Chen Shuxian held Aiko's hand and said while wiping her tears.

"Mother Concubine." Nangong Yueze stared at Chen Shuxian quietly with her deep black eyes, "Don't be sad. Isn't my son standing in front of you properly?"

"You are my only child. How can I not be sad? Over the past three years, my concubine has been suffering every minute and every second..." Chen Shuxian said, her eyes turning red again, "Ze Son, Concubine Mother has figured out a lot of things over the years. Concubine Mother does not need you to be very good, and Concubine Mother does not expect to be a queen. As long as you are good, Concubine Mother will be satisfied."

"Mother Concubine..." Hearing Chen Shuxian's words, Nangong Yueze suddenly felt a trace of emotion in his heart. He thought of Luo Qingyue who was far away in Ziluan Palace. She and Chen Shuxian, one was the empress of heaven, and the other was As an imperial concubine in the mortal world, her temper is very different.

"Mother, if only you were half as gentle as my mother and concubine in the mortal world." Nangong Yueze murmured to himself.

Seeing Aizi's worried look, Chen Shuxian let go of his hand and asked with concern: "Ze'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Nangong Yueze came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said:

"Mother, my son is fine."

"Really?" Chen Shuxian was still a little worried, "No, I'll let the imperial doctors come and take a look at you later."

Nangong Yueze pursed her thin lips and said, "Well, I listen to my mother and concubine."

Chen Shuxian nodded, then pulled Nangong Yueze to sit next to her, "Ze'er, you still don't know, a lot of things happened in the imperial city during the three years you were in coma."

"Huh? Mother and concubine, why don't you come and listen?" Nangong Yueze looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Chen Shuxian sighed softly and slowly narrated: "In the second year when you were in coma, your seventh brother was named a first-class prince by your father. Although he is not the prince yet, in the hearts of all the ministers, he has long been Think of him as the crown prince."

"Oh." Nangong Yueze heard this without much expression on his face, "Seventh brother's conditions are far better than those of the other brothers in all aspects. There is nothing inappropriate in making him a prince."

"Having said that, your seventh brother has always regarded our mother and son as a thorn in his side over the years. Your father is already old, and your mother and concubine are worried that once your seventh brother inherits the throne, he will definitely target us everywhere. When the time comes, we will But just..."

Before Chen Shuxian could finish her words, she was interrupted by Nangong Yueze, "Mom and concubine, don't worry. As long as your son is here, I will never let anyone hurt you."

When Chen Shuxian heard this, she raised a happy smile, "My Ze'er has grown up and knows how to protect her mother and concubine, but..." At this point, Chen Shuxian's voice became a little hesitant, "You seven My brother has always been gloomy, and my mother-in-law is afraid that he will do anything dangerous to you in order to get the throne..."

"Mother, don't worry

Well, Nangong Jing can't inherit the throne..." Nangong Yueze raised the corners of his lips lightly and said firmly.

He remembered that before going down to the lower realm, he had seen Nangong Jing's destiny record in the Siming Hall. Although the previous destiny record recorded that Nangong Jing had indeed succeeded to the throne, with his arrival, the fate of Nangong Jing and everyone around him had changed. Change, and the next person to take over the world has therefore become a mystery.

Hearing this, Chen Shuxian frowned slightly. At first, she thought Nangong Yueze was just saying the angry words casually, but looking at the serious look on his face, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"Ze'er, there is no basis for what you said. You can just say it in front of your mother and concubine, but don't let your father and seventh brother hear it." Chen Shuxian reminded.

Nangong Yueze curled her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, mother and concubine, I know what's appropriate."

At this moment, the maid's voice suddenly sounded outside the palace, "Your Majesty is here! Your Highness is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Yongchang and Nangong Yichen appeared at the entrance of the palace.

"The concubine greets His Majesty!"

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father!"

Chen Shuxian and Nangong Yueze saluted together.

"Old Jiu, get up quickly. You have just woken up, so there is no need to perform this ceremony." Nangong Yongchang stepped forward and helped Nangong Yueze.

"Thank you, Father." Nangong Yueze raised his eyes and glanced at Nangong Yongchang, then stood up.

"Ninth brother, after three years, you finally woke up. Let third brother take a good look at you!" Nangong Yichen, who was standing by, stepped forward and took Nangong Yueze's arm, looking at him carefully.

During the time when Nangong Yueze was in coma, he would go to Liuyun Palace to visit his brother almost every once in a while, but he never expected that this

It looks like three years.

Nangong Yueze smiled slightly, raised his hand and lightly punched Nangong Yichen's shoulder, and said, "Thanks to third brother, don't I stand in front of you properly?"

"You, you, you still haven't changed at all!" Nangong Yichen couldn't help but reached out and touched Nangong Yueze's forehead.

"Who said I haven't changed? I've grown taller." Nangong Yueze said, and raised his eyebrows at Nangong Yichen.

Looking at his childlike movements, Nangong Yichen couldn't help but smile, "Yes, yes, you have not only grown taller, you have also become more handsome."

Seeing that the brothers were so harmonious, Nangong Yongchang showed a happy smile on his face. He waved to Nangong Yueze and said, "Lao Jiu, come here."

"Father." Nangong Yueze came to Nangong Yongchang and bowed again.

"You have just recovered, get up quickly." Nangong Yongchang said with a smile, "When I came here just now, I saw all the maids waiting outside the palace. I guess, you mother and son must be in the house again. There were a lot of whispers."

Nangong Yueze smiled, turned to look at Chen Shuxian, and replied: "I haven't seen my mother and concubine in three years, so naturally I have a lot to say to my mother and concubine."

"You have to thank your mother and concubine properly. In the past three years, she has hardly slept a good night because she was worried about you. She has run away countless times on the way from the Imperial City to the Temple of Gods." Nangong Yongchang said earnestly. Said, while speaking, his eyes fell on Chen Shuxian's slightly haggard face, and a flash of pity flashed in his deep pupils.

Nangong Yueze nodded, "Everything my mother and concubine has done to my son will be remembered by my son, and he will definitely repay his mother and concubine well in the future."

"Silly boy, my mother-in-law doesn't want anything in return from you. As long as you are safe, that is my mother-in-law's greatest wish." Chen Shuxian looked at Nangong Yueze dotingly, her eyes full of love.

"Old Jiu, now that you are awake, what are your plans next? Should you continue to practice at Tianxin Academy, or?" Nangong Yongchang suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Nangong Yueze lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Nangong Yongchang and said: "Father, of course my son must continue to practice. In the past three years of coma, my cultivation has not made any progress. If you don't hurry up, If I catch up, I'm afraid I'll be too far behind the imperial brothers in the future. However, Erchen doesn't want to go to Tianxin Academy anymore. Three years have passed, and the cultivation level of the disciples who are the same age as Erchen may have surpassed Erchen by a long time. Erchen I don’t want everyone to see the joke.”

Nangong Yongchang frowned slightly, "I understand what you mean, but I heard your seventh brother say before that you had become a great spiritual master three years ago. Such cultivation is enough for you to participate in Zixu The college’s assessment has passed.”

"What great spiritual master?" Nangong Yueze was stunned for a moment, pretending to be confused, "Seventh brother is too flattering to my son. If my son really cultivated and became a great spiritual master, there would be no need to enter the school in the first place. Tianxin Academy."

"You mean, Lao Qi made a mistake?" Nangong Yongchang asked suspiciously.

"This..." Nangong Yueze pretended to hesitate, "I don't know where Brother Qi heard the news. When it comes to cultivation, I dare not hide it from my father. Before I entered Tianxin Academy, I did practice secretly for a period of time, but it was all just a show of force, and I couldn’t get on the stage at all.”

Nangong Yongchang nodded.

"If that's the case, then according to what you said, besides Tianxin Academy, where else do you want to go?"

"Zixu Academy has always valued the strength of its disciples. I am afraid that I may not have a chance with Zixu Academy this time." Nangong Yueze pondered and spoke slowly, "Father, why don't I go to Lingxu Academy? "

"What did you say? You want to go to Lingxu Academy?" Nangong Yongchang suddenly narrowed his eyes, "The academy has only been established for more than ten years, and the disciples in the academy are even more confused. What can you learn there?"

"But according to my understanding, Zong Zhengheng, the dean of Lingxu Academy, is already a second-level spiritual master. If I have the opportunity to practice with him, it would not be a bad thing." Nangong Yueze explained seriously .

After hearing this, Nangong Yongchang was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to Nangong Yueze's request, "Since it is your own decision, I will make it happen for you. When your cultivation level improves in the future, it will not be too late to take the assessment of Zixu Academy. "

"Yes, my son, thank you, Father."

……

Half a day later, Yin Yue Pavilion.

After three years, Nangong Yueze and Si Qin returned here again.

Nothing around him has changed, the only difference is that there seem to be more people here than before.

As soon as he entered the Yin Yue Pavilion, Nangong Yueze saw Zong Zhengheng and Zong Yuan practicing swordsmanship by the pond. Both of them were wearing cyan gowns, with long swords flying in their hands, and every move was full of fierce killing aura. .

The first person to discover Nangong Yueze was Zong Yuan. Seeing him, Zong Yuan quickly stopped fighting Zong Zhengheng, put away his sword, and quickly stepped forward and saluted him, "Your Highness, are you back?"

"Two seniors, I seem to have disturbed your conversation.

Consulted. Nangong Yueze said with a smile.

"What did His Highness say? We are more happy than anything else that you can come back." Zong Yuan said.

Zong Zhengheng, who was not far away, also restrained his movements, walked to Nangong Yueze, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, you are finally awake."

Nangong Yueze nodded, "Yes, I just woke up and wanted to come back to see you first."

"As long as you wake up, Your Highness, you don't know that the Imperial Capital will send people to Yinyue Pavilion almost every month to ask for an antidote to cure you, but Miss Suho told us not to care about this matter, saying that you You have your own arrangements, Your Highness, what are you causing trouble here?" Zong Zhengheng asked in confusion.
