Regent's House

Gu Ying reported to Nangong Mingxuan what the princess had done in recent days.

"Master, judging from the recent situation of our people following those corrupt officials, that person might be the princess."

"The princess has already killed the corrupt official who interrogated and abused the little princess. I wonder what the princess will do next?"

"Send someone to keep a close eye on the princess, I will make my own arrangements."

"Yes"

"Be careful, don't let the princess find out. If she knows that you were sent by me, and if she is hiding, I will never see her again in my life."

When Nangong Mingxuan confirmed that the woman was Ouyang Miaoling, he could not suppress his excitement.

Gu Ying received the order and retreated.

Nangong Mingxuan thought to himself that he didn't expect her to have such courage and wisdom. It seemed that he had underestimated her before.

Now that she has avenged her daughter, she wonders if she will be willing to return to him next.

At the same time, Ouyang Miaoling knew that her actions had attracted Nangong Mingxuan's attention, so she had to be more cautious.

There is one more thing at the moment. Once she has solved it, she can take her Li'er back and continue to live their peaceful life.

Xuanyue Building

"Mother, have you finished your work in Kyoto?"

"Can we go back home after we're done?"

"Well, Li'er is waiting patiently for a few days. We can go back in a few days."

"Mom, if you have anything else to say, can't you tell me so that Uncle Mo and I can help you?"

"Li'er, none of you can help me with this matter. I need to handle it myself."

"Oh, okay, mother, I have been staying in the inn for a while. Can Uncle Mo accompany me for a walk?"

"Uncle Mo, I couldn't ask for more," Mo Ran continued.

"Okay, Mo Ran, take Li Er out for a walk. Remember not to cause trouble or meddle in other people's business."

"My daughter has learned her lesson and will not act recklessly again. Please rest assured, mother." Ouyang Miaoling patted Ouyang Li's head with relief.

With Ouyang Miaoling's consent, Mo Ran took Ouyang Li out. This was discovered by Gu Ying and others who were hiding in the dark, and they passed the news to Nangong Mingxuan.

Nangong Mingxuan knew very well that if he wanted Ouyang Miaoling to forgive him and give him a chance to explain, her daughter might be a breakthrough. Besides, he hadn't seen his daughter for sixteen years, so perhaps he could take this opportunity to get close to her and make his daughter feel good about him. Maybe with the help of his daughter, the princess might give him a chance to explain.

He made up his mind and decided that the first thing he had to do was to hide his identity and get close to his daughter.

On the streets of the imperial capital, Ouyang Li was attracted by the prosperity of the streets.

The streets were crowded with people, and Mo Ran was separated from Ouyang Li under Nangong Mingxuan's deliberate arrangement.

Nangong Mingxuan, dressed in plain clothes, quietly followed Ouyang Lihe.

He watched Ouyang Li excitedly selecting gadgets in front of the stall, and a warm feeling of fatherly love surged in his heart.

At this moment, a group of scoundrels gathered around and tried to provoke Ouyang Li.

"Who are you?" Ouyang Li asked in horror.

His hands were already on his sword.

"Little girl, you are new here, right? Why don't you let the brothers walk around with you?"

After saying that, he reached out to touch Ouyang Li's face.

Just when Ouyang Li was about to teach these shameless thugs a lesson.

Nangong Mingxuan saw this and acted quickly, beating the scoundrels and forcing them to flee in a few moves.

"Thank you, uncle, for saving my life!" Ouyang Li looked at him gratefully, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

When she looked at Nangong Mingxuan, she recognized that Nangong Mingxuan was the benefactor who had once saved him.

"Uncle, is that you?"

Why is it you, little girl?

They both screamed at the same time.

"What a coincidence, uncle. I meet you in the capital."

"You mean you're in a hurry to come to the capital?"

"Yes, uncle, I ran away secretly at that time, thinking of coming to the imperial capital to broaden my horizons, but I didn't expect that all the people I met here were bad people." Ouyang Li said with crystal tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

When Nangong Mingxuan saw this scene, his heart ached.

If it weren't for his negligence, his daughter wouldn't have suffered so much. If it weren't for his decision, his daughter wouldn't have suffered a lifelong psychological trauma.

Nangong Mingxuan wanted to go up and hug him out of pity, but he held back.

He reached out and patted Ouyang Li on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Don't be like this. Not everyone in the capital is a bad person. If you don't mind, let your uncle take you around to have a look."

"Don't bother uncle, my uncle Mo was with me, but I don't know how we got separated."

"Then... I'll go with you to find your Uncle Mo, so you don't run into bad guys."

"Will it be too much trouble, uncle?"

"No, I will lose in the imperial capital. I will definitely help you find the person you are looking for."

Ouyang Li thought about it and felt that what his benefactor said was feasible, so he nodded and agreed.

"By the way, uncle, you saved me twice, but I didn't repay you. I don't even know your name. Can you tell me your full name?"

"My name is...Nangong Xuan." Nangong Mingxuan made up a name on the spot.

"Uncle Nangong, thank you"

"Go, go."

Nangong Mingxuan looked at his long-lost daughter with a doting look on his face.

Her daughter looks very much like her mother, just as lively, just as quirky, just as beautiful and generous.

Nangong Mingxuan was unwilling to take his eyes off his daughter for a moment.

He looked at his daughter as if she were a treasure, fearing that the apple of his eye would be lost in the blink of an eye.

"Uncle Nangong, do you know that prince who is the god of war?" Ouyang Li was still worried. She didn't even believe that the person she had desperately tried to save that day would capture her and kill her.

"heard about it"

"What's wrong? Why are you asking about him suddenly?"

"I wonder what happened to the War God Prince?"

"Do you know each other?" Nangong Mingxuan took the opportunity to learn more about his daughter.

"I don't know her. I just want to understand why she wanted to kill me even though I saved her."

"Miss Li'er, listen to me. The prince didn't want to kill you. In fact, his men mistakenly thought that you were in cahoots with those assassins, so they arrested you."

"But it was his father who ordered my execution. I don't believe he didn't know about it."

"There must be some misunderstanding. The regent did not interrogate you personally. He only heard from his subordinates that you had admitted to being in cahoots with the assassins. He wanted to kill you in anger. He loved his son, but was deceived by his subordinates."

"Uncle Nangong, how do you know it so clearly, as if you are the Regent himself?" Ouyang Li joked.

"No, there's no way I could be the regent. I just know the people who work for the regent, and I heard about it when they were gossiping."

"Oh, I see"

"Uncle Nangong, could you please ask your friend to introduce me to the prince? I have something I want to ask him in person?" Ouyang Li stated her request carefully, and then looked at Nangong Mingxuan expectantly.
