The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

"cough cough..."

There was a coughing sound outside, and it sounded like Nangong Mingxuan's voice.

Leng Ze hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and jumped up from the stool on the tea table.

"Your Majesty..."

As he and Wang Qi finished speaking, Nangong Mingxuan walked in slowly.

"No need to be polite...get up"

"I wonder why General Wang came here today?"

"In reply to your Highness, there is some progress on the Second Prince's side."

"Oh...be clear."

"Yes...my subordinates recently found out that the Second Prince himself has also come to Yongcheng,"

"It seems that he wants to discuss with Dayu's eldest prince face to face the specific details of launching a war at the border."

"Oh...Nangong Yu actually dares?"

After hearing Wang Qi's report, Nangong Mingxuan was so angry that he threw away the teacup in his hand.

As the teacup shattered, the debris scattered all over the floor made the atmosphere in the entire study room extremely strange.

"Your Highness...what should we do? After all, the Second Prince is the current Queen Mother's biological son. We won't dare to really do anything when the time comes."

Wang Qi's voice asking for instructions broke the suffocating atmosphere in the study.

"General Wang, if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. As long as there is solid evidence of treason, you don't have to report it to me. You can just take action and arrest the person."

"Yes"

Nangong Mingxuan's words were powerful and General Wang behind him echoed him forcefully.

After Wang Qi reported the important matters, he turned and left, leaving Nangong Mingxuan alone in the study thinking about the problem.

The Regent sat in his study, holding a secret letter tightly in his hand.

Slowly opened the letter and read its contents.

It was a letter Wang Qi gave him regarding the meeting between Nangong Yu and Crown Prince Dayu.

After reading the contents of the letter in his hand, he clenched it into a ball.

His eyes revealed shock and regret.

His nephew actually collaborated with the enemy and committed treason for his own selfish desires.

His brows were furrowed, his face was full of disbelief and disappointment, and he felt as if a heavy burden was weighing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and stared into the distance, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Recalling every little detail of his past with Nangong Yu, the Regent felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He recalled the time when Nangong Yu was the same age as him and they played together carefree as children.

However, all of this is now a thing of the past.

The man knew very well that treason would bring great disaster to the country and the people, but Nangong Yu betrayed it all.

He closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye. He was about to break his promise to his royal brother. He promised to protect his royal brother's children from harm, but for the sake of the country and to prevent the people from suffering from war, he had to abandon those who ignored the people for their own selfish desires.

He knew that he had to face reality and make a difficult decision.

Although he was extremely reluctant, he could not let personal feelings cloud his judgment.

The Regent turned back to his desk, his eyes becoming firm and decisive.

He decided to catch Nangong Yu and find out the truth.

No matter what the outcome, he must be responsible for Northern Qi and the people.

The man made up his mind, so he wrote a letter to Wang Qi and asked Leng Ze to deliver it to the military camp as soon as possible.

In the study room of Yongcheng Villa.

"Master...Nangong Yu wants to meet you." Lan Yu half-knelt on the ground and saluted with his hands clasped together.

"understood"

"Master, why did you deliberately reveal the letter from the Second Prince asking you to meet him to Wang Qi?"

Lan Yu didn't understand his master's behavior and asked suspiciously.

"Lan Yu...just follow my orders and don't ask about anything else."

"Master... Lan Yu is afraid that you will ruin your plan for a woman, so Lan Yu dares to ask you these questions."

"No matter how big the matter is, it's not as important as hers."

"Master... please think twice, doing this will ruin your future,"

"Without him, what use would this prince have for all those prospects?"

"Master..." Lan Yu spoke to his master in an almost roaring tone.

"Lan Yu...when did you start to interfere with me?"

Dongfang was also completely angry because of Lan Yu's advice.

"I dare not," Lan Yu kowtowed again to apologize.

"Go out...get twenty strokes of the cane. If you still can't figure things out like this, go back inside and don't follow me."

"Master... Lan Yu will never dare to do that again. Please don't chase Lan Yu away."

Lan Yu kowtowed hard as he spoke, blood already oozing from his forehead.

"Okay..." Dongfang waved his hand and Lan Yu stopped kowtowing.

"Go get the board. I'll keep you here for now. If you dare to overstep your bounds again, I will never let you off easily."

"Yes...Lan Yu obeys your command."

Lan Yu kowtowed finally, then stood up and went outside to get the beating.

Dongfang in the room listened to the sound of the execution outside and felt extremely annoyed.

In fact, it wasn’t Lan Yu’s fault. He was just in a bad mood and took his anger out on Lan Yu.

He hasn't seen his Ling'er for many days. Ever since Sifan did that, he felt he had no face to see his Ling'er again.

But when he thought of that bitch Sifan and the harm he had done to her, he wished he could kill Sifan with just one sword right now.

What qualifications and face does he have to see his Ling'er now? The only thing he can do now is to clear all obstacles for his Ling'er behind the scenes. He will not let go of any evil person who has hurt his Ling'er.

The more Dongfang thought about it, the more depressed and angry he became. Everything was caused by that woman. If that woman had been able to control herself and not possess him when he was unconscious, the situation today would not be like this.

Just as he was about to get up and torture Sifan again, he heard someone reporting at the door.

"Master..there is news"

"Come in"

The man at the door came in directly and whispered a few words in Dongfang's ear. Dongfang curled the corners of his lips and showed an evil smile on his face.

He walked to the desk, wrote a letter, and handed it directly to the man, asking him to deliver it to the designated place.

"Comer"

As soon as Dongfang finished speaking, the maid guarding the door came in.

"Change clothes..."

The maid hurried forward and helped Dongfang change his clothes.

Dongfang went out and saw Lan Yu who had just been hit by a board at the door.

"I'm going out. If you can keep up, come. If you can't, ask someone else to follow me."

When Lan Yu heard that his master was going out, how could he let others follow him?

"Master...Lan Yu is fine, you can let Lan Yu follow you."

"....." Dongfang glanced at Lan Yu, agreed without saying anything, and walked away.

Suddenly, something was thrown from the air, and a small porcelain bottle flew up. Lan Yu hurried forward and caught the object thrown to him by his master.

"This is the best medicine for treating skin injuries. Go change your clothes and come back to me."

"Yes." Lan Yu looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand, and her eyes turned red instantly.

In a flower house in Yongcheng, Dongfang arrived with Lan Yu and explained their identities. The person in charge of meeting them at the door took them to the agreed location.
