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

Chapter 228 Safe return to the capital, family reunion

Next, the princess and the queen started a tense and fierce negotiation.

They discussed the terms of the armistice, the division of territory, and the welfare of the people.

Every word is full of wisdom and determination, and every decision concerns the future of the two countries.

During the negotiation process, the princess gradually won the queen's trust with her intelligence and kindness.

Together, they seek win-win solutions and work to bridge their differences.

Finally, after a long and arduous struggle, the Princess and the Queen reached an agreement.

They decided to stop the war, Lengyue Kingdom withdrew its troops, and Northern Qi compensated Lengyue with some money.

To comfort Jun Tianshuo's spirit in heaven and to give an explanation to the people of the Lengyue Kingdom.

In fact, the compensation money was less than one-tenth of what Ouyang Miaoling took from Jun Tianshuo’s warehouse.

Ouyang Miaoling bore all the costs of compensation, without the Northern Qi court having to pay a single ounce of silver.

The news spread quickly throughout the two countries, and people cheered and were happy about the arrival of peace.

On that night, Ouyang Miaoling became a hero in the hearts of the people of both countries.

Ouyang Miaoling's courage and wisdom brought peace and hope to the two countries.

next day

Ouyang Miaoling and Nangong Mingxuan handled some matters at the border and settled all the soldiers.

Ouyang Miaoling even donated a large amount of money as military pay for the soldiers at the border to improve their original living conditions.

"I didn't know that my princess was so rich?"

Nangong Mingxuan teased.

"These were all looted from Jun Tianshuo. This princess is taking from the people and giving back to the people."

Nangong Mingxuan became unhappy instantly after hearing what she said.

"Take back his silver. I gave you the silver to reward the army. I don't want you to use his silver."

"I can afford to support this woman."

Ouyang Miaoling wanted to laugh when she saw Nangong Mingxuan's jealous look.

"My dear husband, our money still needs to be used to support Yi'er. I don't want to squander it like this."

"As for the silver I got from other places, if I spent it on the soldiers, it doesn't count as being used by me, so there's no need for you to be jealous or angry."

Nangong Mingxuan thought about it and felt that what Ouyang Miaoling said was right, so he stopped struggling and said solemnly: "You must use all his money on the three armies, and you are not allowed to keep any of it. When we return to the imperial capital, I will give you all my wealth and you can spend it as you please."

Seeing Nangong Mingxuan's serious expression, Ouyang Miaoling didn't want to spoil his fun, so she had to agree.

In fact, even if one third of it was donated, it would be enough to provide food and wages for the 200,000 troops on the border for three years.

So she decided to donate one-third and keep the rest for herself.

After everything was settled, on a dark and windy night, the group left the border and hurried back to the imperial capital without saying goodbye.

Along the way, Ouyang Miaoling and Nangong Mingxuan enjoyed a moment of peaceful life, and they were as loving as an ordinary couple.

All the food, clothing, housing and transportation for the group along the way came from Xuanyue Pavilion.

Only then did Nangong Mingxuan know that the Xuanyue Pavilion, which was rich enough to rival a country, actually belonged to Ouyang Miaoling.

When Nangong Mingxuan found out, he looked unhappy and pretended to be angry and questioned the woman.

"Princess, I didn't know that my wife is a wealthy woman... What else do you have to say that I don't know?"

Ouyang Miaoling felt a little guilty because of Nangong Mingxuan's sudden questioning.

So he said carefully: "In addition to the Shaxuan Pavilion and Xuanyue Pavilion you know, there is also a Divine Doctor Valley."

"What? The famous Divine Doctor Valley is also yours. This king only regards you as..."

"I didn't expect you to be the real deal, the divine doctor who can bring the dead back to life and heal their bones."

"What do you think I am?"

Ouyang Miaoling seized upon Nangong Mingxuan's words and turned around to retort.

"I thought you were just... a fraud who happened to be a "miracle doctor" who could treat a few people.

"I never thought that I was blind and didn't recognize the true face of Mount Lu. I didn't even recognize the great doctor right next to me. I am really ashamed."

After saying this, he did not forget to steal a glance at Ouyang Miaoling.

Seeing that the woman had no intention of pursuing this topic, he finally felt relieved.

"Okay, don't be too eager to survive. I'm not mad at you."

Ouyang Miaoling said softly.

The frankness between the two deepened their feelings for each other.

After stopping and walking along the way, it took the group nearly a month to return to the imperial capital.

Northern Qi Regent Palace

Nangong Mingxuan and Ouyang Miaoling secretly returned to the city late at night.

When Ouyang Yi returned to the Regent's Palace, he had already fallen asleep.

Ouyang Miaoling returned to Fengqiyuan. She missed her little girl so much that she sneaked into Ouyang Yi's bedroom.

The little baby was sleeping soundly on the bed. Ouyang Miaoling tiptoed to the bed, bent down and kissed the little baby on the forehead. She looked at the little baby with a doting face and was reluctant to leave for a long time.

It was not until Nangong Mingxuan came over that Ouyang Miaoling reluctantly left her son's room with her.

The two of them went to Ouyang Miaoling's bedroom hand in hand.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed quickly,"

Nangong Mingxuan pulled the woman with a distressed look on his face and accompanied her to the bed.

"Well.. I haven't washed up yet. I'll rest after I'm done cleaning up."

The woman said shyly.

"Well, call the maid to help you wash up. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you."

"You...it's so late, what are you doing?"

"It's something from the previous dynasty. I've been away for more than a month, and there are a lot of official documents waiting for me to deal with."

"Gu Ying can handle small matters, but for many big matters, please wait for me to make the decision."

"Ling'er, take a rest after you finish packing."

"Well then... don't work too late. You've been exhausted from the journey, so you should make sure to rest."

"Okay, got it"

Nangong Mingxuan turned around and walked towards the study.

The Regent's Study

"Guying, you said that the second prince was rescued the day before yesterday?"

"Yes"

"We were escorting them secretly. Who leaked the news?"

"I don't know. I haven't found out yet."

"This matter must be related to that person in the palace. What does the person in charge of surveillance say?"

"My Lord, the secret guards have reported that there is nothing unusual with the Queen Mother."

"She didn't leave the palace, nothing unusual happened, so how did she plan to rescue the Second Prince?"

"They must have help."

"Gu Ying, this matter is of great importance. The Second Prince and the one in the palace will definitely not let it go. They may come back again. Send more people to protect the emperor's safety."

"Yes"

Gu Ying was about to go out to deploy defenses, but was stopped again.

"Guying, wait a minute."

Gu Ying quickly stopped, turned around, and saluted with his hands clasped together.

"Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Send a message to Yongcheng and ask Jun Sa to come back quickly. I need his help."

"Yes"

This time, Gu Ying did not stop and went straight to execute the order.

Nangong Mingxuan was the only one left in the study, and he had been reviewing memorials until early morning.

In the morning, the two of them snuggled together in bed.
