Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Inside the secret cell of the imperial palace, Nan Chufeng sat on the ground motionless, staring coldly at the four people in front of him.

Because of the drugs, the passionate voice became louder and louder, constantly stimulating Nan Chufeng's nerves.

Nan Chufeng's initial anger gradually turned into a cold-eyed indifference.

Now that he thinks about it, his acquaintance with Yong'an seemed as if it was deliberately arranged. On that day, when he was riding in a carriage from the prince's mansion to the palace, the carriage suddenly lost control. It was Princess Yong'an who happened to pass by and subdued the runaway horse. He was also attracted by this beautiful and heroic woman.

Later, he sent people to find out that the woman was actually Princess Yong'an, the first female general of Hongnan Kingdom.

At the beginning, he was indeed thinking about going to Hongnan Kingdom to propose marriage and marry Princess Yong'an as his future queen, so that Hongnan Kingdom could become a considerable backer for him. Although Hongnan Kingdom was comparable in strength to their Nanxiang Kingdom, if he successfully ascended the throne, his power in the country would certainly be weak at the beginning. If he could get the help of Hongnan Kingdom behind Yong'an, it would be very beneficial to him.

However, although he once liked Yong'an very much, now that Yong'an wants to be his queen, he will never want her again.

The worst that could happen is the lack of support from the Hongnan Kingdom. He doesn't care about it at all. After all, he still has his maternal family as a solid backing.

You know, his maternal grandfather's family is the most prominent family in Nanxiang Kingdom!

Back then, his great-grandfather had grown up with the old emperor of Nanxiang State. The two had a deep relationship and became brothers of different surnames. His great-grandfather protected the peace of Nanxiang State, and the old emperor promised to do the same to ensure prosperity and wealth for his grandfather's descendants.

Since then, his grandfather's family has always firmly controlled the military power of Nanxiang State, and its power is so strong that it is astonishing. His father also respects his grandfather very much, and even has a little fear of him.

When Nan Chufeng thought about this, he was no longer so angry about what was happening before his eyes. Instead, he felt much calmer. However, these three guards had to die.

Two hours later, the effect of the medicine in Nan Chufeng's body gradually weakened. He tried to move his arms, then slowly stood up.

Due to sitting for a long time, his legs and feet had become a little numb. After a while, the discomfort gradually disappeared.

Nan Chufeng staggered towards the corner of the secret cell and reached out to take down a sharp sword hanging on the wall.

Holding a long sword, he walked behind several people and stabbed them resolutely without any hesitation.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the three people died without even a scream. Their lives were ended so easily by the sword in Nan Chufeng's hand.

Nan Chufeng's expression was stern, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination and ruthlessness.

He gripped the hilt tightly and pulled hard, pulling the blood-stained sword out of the enemy's body.

As the sword was detached, a stream of scarlet liquid gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the ground to form a pool of blood.

Nan Chufeng mercilessly raised his foot and kicked the dead guard lying on Yong'an, kicking him aside.

At this moment, Yong'an seemed to have lost all his strength. He lay quietly on the ground with his eyes closed, without any movement.

Perhaps she was too tired, or the effect of the medicine had not yet worn off, she fell into a coma, and it was unclear whether she was unconscious or asleep.

Nan Chufeng felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it. He bent down, moved closer to Yong'an, and gently felt her breath.

After feeling the weak but steady breath, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, I'm still alive." He whispered to himself. As long as Yong'an didn't get into trouble in his Nanxiang country, he would have a hard time explaining to the old emperor of Nanhongnan country.

He straightened up and glanced coldly at Yong'an again.

Then, he casually threw the long sword in his hand towards the corner, making a crisp sound of impact. Then, without stopping any longer, he resolutely turned around and walked out of the secret passage.

After returning to the imperial study, the first thing Nan Chufeng did was to order people to post an imperial edict, stating that Nan Chuye had colluded with the Yuan Dynasty traitor Xuan Moyin and attempted to rebel. Now Nan Chuye was wanted nationwide, and people were to conduct a large-scale search of the capital, and he would be executed immediately if found.

Then a senior maid in the palace was asked to take several palace maids to the secret prison to pick up Yong'an, and to place her in an inn. The maid and the others were asked to stay there, and to expel Yong'an from Xiangping City as soon as she woke up.

Then he ordered someone to bring his grandfather into the palace immediately.

By the time he finished all this, it was already dawn. Nan Chufeng left the imperial study and walked towards his mother's bedroom.

Five days later would be the auspicious day determined by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory through observation of celestial phenomena as the most suitable for holding the coronation ceremony.

Originally, everything was ready: those former ministers who dared to oppose him had already been framed with various charges and thrown into jail.

However, what was unexpected was that just last night, Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue actually broke into the dark prison and successfully rescued Nan Chuye!

Faced with such a situation, he had to immediately find his mother and grandfather to discuss countermeasures.

When he rushed to the palace of his mother, Queen Lou, Queen Lou had just finished washing and was sitting at the table, preparing to enjoy breakfast.

Seeing Nan Chufeng rushing in so hastily, Empress Lou couldn't help but frown slightly and asked with concern: "Feng'er, what happened? Why did you come to mother so early?"

"Mother, something terrible has happened! Nan Chuye was rescued last night!" Nan Chufeng panted and shouted anxiously. When Queen Lou heard that it was about Nan Chuye, she was shocked and immediately winked at the nanny beside her. The nanny understood and quickly led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to leave the hall in a hurry.

"Who is so bold?" Queen Lou asked solemnly.

"It was the Yuan Kingdom's Regent Xuan Moyin and Yongjia County Lady Su Luoxue!" Nan Chufeng recalled what happened last night and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said angrily.

"It turned out to be them..." Empress Lou frowned and fell into deep thought. "Mother, this matter is very serious. I have sent someone to inform my grandfather and uncle, asking them to come as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures together." Nan Chufeng said hurriedly.

Empress Lou nodded slightly, expressing her agreement: "Alright, this matter does require long-term consideration. Your grandfather and uncle are experienced and will definitely be able to come up with a proper solution."

As he was talking, a eunuch hurried into the hall, bowed, and reported: "Your Majesty, General Lou, General Lou has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Queen Lou said, "Please come in quickly!"
