princess regent lifted from her grave

When Mr. Nan saw the two people passing by the door seemingly casually, he frowned slightly.

Then he found a way to the next room.

When Jing Yue and Jing Ming saw their master coming, they looked guilty, and they knelt down and said,

"Master, my subordinates made a mistake and failed to kill the woman. Instead, they alerted the woman and attracted their attention. However, please rest assured, Master, the two of us left quickly when we saw that something was not going well, leaving no trace behind."

Mr. Nan glanced at the two of them with gloomy eyes, very dissatisfied with their failure.

I just didn't expect that Xiu Wang's women were so good at martial arts. Not many people could escape from Jing Yue and Jing Ming. As long as they threw their darts, they would rarely miss.

Now that he has been alerted, he can no longer act rashly. The day after tomorrow will be the time for him to enter the palace, so there can be no more mistakes at this time.

Mr. Nan said in a deep voice, "Get up. Since you haven't killed those two women, you can't act rashly to avoid exposing your whereabouts. The top priority is to fully assist me in entering the palace."

After that, he gave instructions to the two of them on how to act, how to secretly contact the more than a thousand guards outside the city, as well as the secret codes for actions and many other matters.

Jingyue and Jingming remembered them one by one.

After Mr. Nan finished explaining, he quickly returned to Miss Xiangxiang's room. Many gentlemen were still waiting for him to go back and continue to comment on poems and drink wine. The fact that these poems could be recognized by him had already formed a kind of tacit approval invisibly.

Sure enough, when the young masters saw him returning, they quickly placed the poems in front of him for him to read, and then they started talking and laughing again.

Some young masters who were greedy for drinking were already tipsy. Today, Mr. Nan was extremely generous and allowed them to stay in Cuihong Mansion and called some pretty girls to accompany them.

Mr. Nan found another reason to temporarily stay with the Second Young Master of Sima, the Young Master Wang from the Shangshu Mansion, the Young Master Zhou from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and the Second Young Master Feng, the second son of Lord Feng of Dali Temple, to continue talking and drinking.

After burning the incense, several people left the room obediently and entered the girl's room according to the arrangement of Madam Wang's mother. It seemed that it was no different from before, except that the old face of Mother Wang's smile had already turned into chrysanthemums.

Jingya Inn

When Nangong Ying woke up again and saw her father's figure, she finally dispelled the fear in her heart and looked at the Nangong clan leader with tears in her eyes.

The voice was sad, "Father, my daughter is really useless. Not only has she lost her innocence, but she has also been bullied into this state. It would be better for her to die than to lose face for her father..."

After Nangong Ying finished speaking, she cried silently, and the tears that kept swirling in her eyes were like beads with broken strings, rolling down.

Seeing how weak and pitiful his daughter was, the Nangong clan leader couldn't bear to criticize her harshly.

I originally thought about scolding my daughter after she woke up to vent the anger in my heart, but now that I saw her like this, I stopped thinking about it.

In the end, he just sighed and asked,

"Ying'er, where did you hide the treasure of Phoenix Village? Tell me and I will get it."

Nangong Ying's face froze when she heard this, and she quickly lowered her eyes to cover the panic in her eyes. She had already lost her treasure, how should she explain this matter to eliminate her father's anger towards her.

Nangong Ying's mind turned several times, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were still full of tears, and she choked with sobs:

"Father, the treasure is missing. My daughter tried her best to enter the palace in order to fulfill her father's wish. She never wanted to be deceived by Master Qing. He designed to harm her daughter and sister Min, and even robbed her of the treasure. In the past, Sister Min was brought back to the backyard by him to become one of his many aunts. The reason why Li Weiwei and his group were killed was because they visited Qingfu at night to take back the treasure. They never thought that Qingfu was such a powerful... ....My daughter suffered such a cruel attack in the end."

Every time Chief Nangong heard this sentence, his face darkened, and he glanced at his daughter sharply. How could he not be angry that his daughter could lose such an important treasure?

However, fortunately, knowing the whereabouts of the treasure, all one has to do is recapture it.

Because the Nangong clan leader was angry and didn't want to look at Nangong Ying again, he only left a sentence to let her have a good two days to recuperate, and then left in a hurry.

Not only did he have to arrange for someone to take back the treasure, but he also had to take back his one thousand taels of silver notes. Both of these things had to be done without anyone noticing, and he couldn't let Mr. Li, who was in charge of the government office, get the handle.

A post station dozens of kilometers outside the Holy Capital City

Wearing a black python robe and a jade crown, Chu Junyi, who has an increasingly calm temperament, is sitting at the table waiting for the waiter to serve the meal.

At the same time, there was a woman sitting next to him, holding her chin in her hands, blinking her apricot eyes, curiously looking at everything around her, and kept asking when she saw something strange.

"Cousin Yi, what is that?"

Chu Junyi was also patient with his cousin and would tell her everything. But when he looked at his innocent face, he sighed helplessly.

My cousin is already in her prime, and her mother, who is also her aunt, made an engagement for her when she was still in her infancy. My aunt and the lady are still close friends, thinking about their future. The two houses were close to each other, so they made such a hasty decision.

It would be fine if my cousin's future husband was a good one, but that young master has a mental defect. Now at the age of sixteen, his mind is like that of a seven or eight-year-old child. My aunt doesn't want to be that treacherous person, but she doesn't want to harm her daughter. I have been so anxious all my life, but that family has chosen my cousin as their daughter-in-law.

Now my aunt's heart is full of regrets. However, when the young master's mother saw that her cousin was already past her hair age, she began to urge them to get married as soon as possible. The aunt was depressed all day because of this matter, and the cousin didn't like it even more. Such a husband-in-law had thoughts of committing suicide several times.

That's why Chu Junyi brought his cousin out of Xiyou County on the pretext of letting his cousin gain some experience. It also allowed his aunt to breathe a sigh of relief and his cousin to relax. This was the only thing he could do. If he used strong tactics, Forcing the other party will only attract criticism from others, and it will also damage the reputation of my aunt and the whole family.

Chu Junyi naturally knew why they dominated their cousin. It was because they wanted to use his reputation as a prince to reverse the tragedy of their family's decline.

If they can save their entire family by sacrificing their cousin's happiness, they will naturally be happy to see it happen. How can they easily cancel this marriage if it is in the interests of the family.

Tang Yuxi, who was holding her chin with both hands, saw that her cousin was deep in thought again. She raised her little hand and waved it in front of his eyes with a clear voice.

"Cousin Yi, what are you thinking about? Don't worry about me. In the worst case, if I escape, what else can the High Court do to me?"

Chu Junyi looked at his innocent cousin and said helplessly,

"Yuxi, don't act like this. If you run away, have you ever thought about what will happen to your parents in the future? If someone with intentions spreads the news about you running away with another man again, how will you let the other children in the Tang family talk about it? Are you talking about marriage?"

Tang Yuxi pouted her mouth and said angrily,

"Then it's okay for me to commit suicide by diving into the water, right? I'll just throw myself into the small lake in the Gaofu courtyard and let them blame themselves for the rest of their lives!"
