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

"Ouyang Miaoyin, think about it. If you succeed, you may become a noble person, and your mother's family will be released. You will have endless wealth and glory in the future. Besides, you have liked him for so many years. Are you willing to give up like this?"

The emperor's persuasion made Ouyang Miaoyin's heart waver a little.

"Yes, after so many twists and turns, what belongs to her is finally coming back, but she hesitated."

The emperor seemed to be somewhat persuaded, so he continued to persuade her.

"Ouyang Miaoyin, a rich lady like you, who has been raised under the care of your parents, has enjoyed endless wealth and splendor since childhood. Are you willing to be an ordinary person and live a mediocre life?"

"If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your parents. You have already made them homeless. Don't you want them to revive the Duke's Mansion?"

"Do you want to take your regrets to the grave? While you are still alive, while there is still hope, while everything can still be made up, as long as you seize this opportunity, you will definitely be able to turn things around and revive your Duke's Mansion."

"Your Majesty, I promise you that I will live up to your expectations and complete the task."

"it is good"

"Someone, take the imperial concubine downstairs to bathe and change clothes."

"Yes"

Two maids and a little maid came in at the door and helped Ouyang Miaoyin downstairs.

The emperor was smug that his plan was about to succeed.

In a courtyard in the imperial palace, Nangong Mingxuan was helplessly imprisoned in a guest room.

Inside the room, the gorgeous decorations contrasted sharply with his dishevelled appearance.

He sat on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing disdain and calmness.

Outside the window, sunlight shines through the exquisite window lattices onto the ground, forming mottled light and shadows.

The door of the room was locked tightly. Two fully armed soldiers stood at the door, staring at Nangong Mingxuan vigilantly, as if he was a beast trapped in a cage.

Soon the door of the room opened and the palace maids brought in a lot of food, filling the entire table.

"Prince Regent, this is sent by our Emperor. Please use it first. The Emperor is currently handling state affairs. He will come to see you when he is done."

Nangong Mingxuan glanced at the food on the table without saying anything or picking up his chopsticks, and the little palace maid also showed no intention of leaving.

"You guys go down, I'm not hungry yet"

Nangong Mingxuan spoke.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that we are transferred here to serve you, Your Majesty. If you don't let us serve you, we will have a hard time explaining ourselves when we return."

After the little palace maid finished speaking, she turned around and walked to Nangong Mingxuan, and was about to reach out to rub his shoulders.

I was scared away by his sharp look.

“Get…get out!”

"Lord Regent, I was rude just now, please don't chase me away."

"Get lost... I don't want to hurt innocent people, so get lost now while I can still control myself..."

The little palace maid still stood there motionless, trying to fight for it again.

"roll…"

Nangong Mingxuan said in an almost roaring voice.

The palace maids were frightened by the regent's roar and trembled all over. They hurriedly retreated, and one of them almost fell down because of fear.

Another maid trembled and said, "Your Majesty ordered us to serve you..."

"I don't need it!" The Regent interrupted her. "Leave here immediately!" Her tone was firm and unquestionable.

The palace maids looked at each other, left the room reluctantly, and gently closed the door before leaving.

Nangong Mingxuan's breathing gradually calmed down, but her eyes were still full of anger and determination.

He knew what Emperor Dayu meant by this "good intention".

He would not accept such an arrangement and fall into the trap set for him by Emperor Dayu.

But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and the conspiracy behind it was slowly approaching him.

Nangong Mingxuan drove away the palace maid, sat cross-legged on the bed, and prepared to use his inner strength to calm his mind. Suddenly, he felt hot all over. He endured the discomfort and continued to regulate his breathing.

He looked pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body was trembling slightly.

He felt a strange burning sensation spreading throughout his body, as if countless small insects were gnawing at his internal organs.

He took a deep breath and continued to persevere, adjusting his internal breath, but found that his breath was becoming more and more disordered and difficult to condense.

His heart beat faster, his chest felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy stone, and his breathing became rapid.

Suddenly, a dark blur flashed before his eyes, his throat became dry, and a fishy-sweet taste came out of his mouth.

He endured the pain and covered his mouth with his hands to prevent the blood from spilling out.

His eyes became blurry and his consciousness started to blur.

At this time, Nangong Mingxuan realized that he might have been poisoned, and the poison had begun to take effect.

He must find a way to detoxify, otherwise his life will be in danger.

He stretched out his fingers with difficulty, trying to seal his acupuncture points and stop the spread of the poison.

However, his fingers were trembling and he could hardly find the acupuncture points accurately.

In extreme pain, a trace of determination appeared on Nangong Mingxuan's face.

"What a despicable and shameless person, he actually used such a despicable method to deal with him."

Nangong Mingxuan cursed Emperor Dayu in his heart.

But he was already very careful, and he didn't know when he had been tricked.

The only things that can be suspected are the young palace maids who just came in.

Could it be that Dongfang used the little palace maid to poison him?

At this moment, her consciousness became more and more blurred, and the heat and discomfort all over her body made him unbearable. He was a man, and he knew what kind of poison he was infected with.

However, he didn't know that this poison was so powerful that it could actually suppress his internal strength, making it impossible for him to gather his internal strength to force out the poison.

As long as he used his power forcefully, he might explode and die at any time.

Just when he was about to lose control of his consciousness, the door of the room opened and an exquisite and beautiful face came towards him.

In a daze, he seemed to see the figure of his beloved Ouyang Miaoling.

Ci'an Palace

With the help of palace maids, Concubine Xian was already lying on the bed, ready to go to sleep.

Suddenly, a black figure flashed past the door.

Concubine Xian thought back to the two assassins in the palace who knew her some time ago.

"Could it be them?"

With doubts in her heart, Concubine Xian put on her clothes, got up from the bed, opened the door, and walked towards the figure of the man in black.

The man in black was sneaking around as if he was lost in the palace. Concubine Xian followed behind him, and she became even more convinced that the man in black was the female assassin that night.

After many twists and turns, Concubine Xian followed the man in black to a courtyard, and the man in black completely disappeared from Concubine Xian's sight. Concubine Xian then walked out from her hiding place carefully.

I looked around but couldn't find the man in black.

The virtuous concubine was really afraid that she would get lost and accidentally get caught by the guards in the palace.

She looked for that figure anxiously.

Suddenly she heard a strange sound coming from the room in front of her. She tentatively moved forward, approaching the room, trying to find out more.
