After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

The night enveloped Luo Garden, and Xie Nanxing walked towards the study room holding a plump lantern.

Xie Nanxing knocked on the door. After Xia Che saw who it was, he came out to greet him: "It's getting colder, why haven't you rested yet, Nanxing?"

Xie Nanxing handed the lantern in his hand to the servant beside him: "Is Luo asleep?"

"Sleep."

If Xia Che had not coaxed Chen Luo to sleep, he would definitely not be doing work in the study at this moment.

"I heard from An An Ning Ning that Luo is using new medicine?"

Pouring out the refreshing tea in the teapot, Xia Che brewed a new cup of scented tea and poured it for Xie Nanxing.

"Cheng Yangqiu sent someone to deliver this. It can't be considered an antidote, but Luo felt a little better after taking it."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Thank you for your concern on behalf of Luo. You should also take good care of yourself and rest early."

Even if Xie Nanxing was concerned about Chen Luo, he would not come to see him at this time.

But Xia Che chose to pretend to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

Xie Nanxing chuckled, took a few sips of the fragrant hot tea, and chose to get straight to the point: "Your Highness, I will return to the capital."

Her jade-like eyes fixed on Xie Nanxing: "You should know that I promised Wang Heng to keep you, and I will not let you leave."

Xie Nanxing chose to face Xia Che's frankness directly: "Your Highness should also know that if I want to leave, you may not be able to stop me."

It’s not that he couldn’t leave, but everyone was extremely busy. Xie Nanxing didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to Xia Che and Chen Luo because of his sneaking away.

Xia Che smiled without any aggression: "Nanxing, why don't you give it a try? Is Dingxi County so easy to break?"

Unlike Xia who knows everything, Xie Nanxing still has some chance of winning.

Now that Xia Che has been told, Xie Nanxing will be unable to escape.

Xie Nanxing was not in a hurry at this moment. He came here well prepared.

"When I first entered the Divine Capital, Shen Jinmo used me as a pawn to break up with the Princess, and Xia Hong used me as a hostage to give Shen Jinmo real power."

"Before I left the capital last year, Shen Jinmo risked his life for me. My death in the forest was closely related to Xia Hong. Even if the two of them tried to keep the peace, the rift between the ruler and his subject still existed."

"Since the situation was created by emotions, it will also end when emotions are broken."

As long as Shen Jinmo remains chaste for Xie Nanxing, Xia Hong will never be able to get rid of the thorn in his heart.

Looking sideways at the moon outside the window for a long time, Xia Che said: "Don't worry about this matter. My mother is in the capital of gods, and she will find a way to make up for it."

But he knew in his heart that even if he had a plan to make up for it, it would be difficult to calm Xia Hong's suspicious heart.

Shen Jinmo has a stubborn personality. Xia Che mentioned the matter of pretending to be nice and looking for a substitute last year, but Shen Jinmo didn't even bother to respond, let alone refuse.

Whenever Xie Nanxing felt that there was a way out of the predicament, he would lean back in his chair.

At this moment, Xie Nanxing's back was pressed against the back of the chair.

"Lu Qing's invisible Nanfeng Pavilion card has been reactivated. He is responsible for delivering intelligence from the Divine Capital to Dingxi County. Too much information has passed through his hands, and Nanfeng Pavilion is likely to be exposed."

"But if you let Lu Qing cut off most of it before passing it on, firstly he won't be sure, and secondly you will also have concerns."

"What you want to see is what Shen Jinmo thinks is important. I am the only one in the world who can convey Shen Jinmo's thoughts to Your Highness through just a few words."

"Xie Nanxing is dead. I have returned to the capital of the gods after disguising myself. I have secret guards to protect me, so I will be safe."

The night wind blew in through the window. Xie Nanxing tightened his cloak and stood up from the stool.

"Kill multiple birds with one stone. Nanxing hopes that Your Highness will make a decision soon. After all, time waits for no one."

Xia Che stood up from the armchair and personally escorted Xie Nanxing out of the study.

The sound of a restrained cough came from the thin man who left with the lantern. The fine clothes and delicious food in Dingxi County and the carefree life in Luoyuan could not keep Xie Nanxing well.

A long sigh was heard, and Xia Che returned to the study. By the time he finished dealing with all the matters on the memorial, it was already midnight.

Xia Che returned to the bedroom quietly. He looked at Chen Luo in his arms under the moonlight and did not close his eyes for a long time.

After the imperial edict was issued for the Crown Prince to marry Han Shu, the leader of the anti-Japanese army, the people of this divine capital seemed to have emerged from the long-lasting gloom because of this celebration.

The streets were filled with joy and everyone was talking about the wedding.

For example, Xia Hong directly asked the Ministry of Rites to move half of the treasures in the national treasury as a betrothal gift.

For example, among the people coming and going in this divine capital, there are many foreigners who look different from the people in the Central Plains.

The spring breeze brought warmth, but what seemed out of place with this lingering joy was the only three loads of dowry carried out from the Mansion of Marquis Zhongqin on the wedding day.

Moreover, there were no valuable items in these three loads of dowry. One load contained Han Shu's usual clothes, shoes and socks, one load contained Han Shu's own bedding and sheets, and the remaining largest load contained Han Shu's favorite weapons.

It didn't look like a wedding at all, but rather like Han Shu was packing her bags and heading to the battlefield to fight.

But that's not right. Han Shu always went out to fight with only a sword and a package.

"The royal family's betrothal was so grand, isn't this dowry too much of an insult to the royal family?"

"I heard that the emperor had no money to spend in the war with the East Japan. The Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion emptied out all its wealth in order to protect the people. So, it can't afford a dowry, right?"

"Ah, I remember when General Xiao Han was alive, he came to my place to eat a bowl of wontons, and his sleeves were covered with patches."

"But the betrothal gift from the royal family must be at least 30% of the dowry."

"You also know that it is from the royal family? Whether it is a dowry or not, it will eventually have to return to the national treasury. There is no need to use so many people to carry it."

"Besides, if this noble family chooses the wedding dress from the betrothal gifts when marrying off their daughter, it would be extremely embarrassing."

"I think you are short-sighted. Following her lead, she won the Tiger Mighty Army and saved the descendants of the East Territory from being coerced by foreign races. This is a dowry that no woman in Daxia can match."

"You can't say that. Since the princess is married, she should take care of her husband and children. The Tiger Army is not hers alone, but belongs to the emperor."

"Those merits earned her the honor of being the Crown Princess. One day she will become the mother of a country. Princess Han's life is so worth it."

"This palace gate is like entering a deep sea. I feel it would be more satisfying to kill the enemy."

"The princess gave birth to a daughter, why do you want her to live in the open air and suffer from anxiety?"
