In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

The boat was moored at the shore. Nangong Yu went ashore first, turned around, flicked his sleeves slightly, and stretched out his right hand, the joints of which were long and straight.

Mu Jinan's slender fingers, as white as jade, rested lightly on his large, warm palm, and he helped Mu Jinan to the shore.

Li Huaijin sat on the boat and looked out the spacious window, taking in everything.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he felt jealous:

"Nangong Yu"

Li Heng concealed the disappointment in his eyes. In his heart, the heroine Mu Jinan was his, no matter whether she was dead or alive, or how she was tortured.

He deliberately instigated them, hoping to see both of them lose, and then he would reap the benefits:

"Huai Jin, there are many people who like Mu Jin'an, a woman who is decisive and talented, and has both beauty and talent. If you want to marry her, you must be broad-minded."

"Besides, they are childhood sweethearts, have a deep affection for each other, and are engaged. You can also see that she only listens to Nangong Yu."

Li Heng left.

Li Huaijin still looked down upon Li Heng's behavior.

He would never allow the person he had been waiting for to marry someone else. At that moment, a paranoid and evil thought seemed to come into his mind. He had to find a way to get Nangong Yu back to Xuanzhou as soon as possible.

Li Huaijin returned to the Prince of Liang's Mansion. In the side room, Jixue Pavilion, the candlelight was bright. He flipped through a book on the desk. Zezhou came forward and whispered:

"Your Highness, the Eagle Guard sent a message that the An Jiedushi, An Xuan, has close contacts with the Qixuan tribe and the leader of the Northern Chamber Guard, and often gives them gifts of gold, silk and weapons."

Li Huaijin was puzzled and said, "The more powerful An Xuan's military and financial power is, the more he will contact the Qixuan tribe and the room guards privately. He must be trying to collude and rebel. Keep watching."

Zezhou said: "Yes"

Li Huaijin asked again: "Prince has he seen Princess Yuhe Xianli recently?"

Zezhou said: "Since the day the prince met the princess in Hu Yulou, they have had a great conversation and often meet. It seems that the prince is interested in the princess."

Li Huaijin thought that Nanzhao and Shengguo were currently at war, the Tubo tribe was approaching Nanzhao and they were secretly helping each other, the Beiqixuan tribe had unclear intentions, and the Qique tribe was on good terms with the Qixuan tribe.

Emperor Ming was addicted to wine and sex, and treacherous ministers were in power. If three, four, or even six tribes from the north invaded at the same time, Shengguo would be plunged into endless war.

The Beiyuhe clan still maintains a weak relationship with the Sheng Kingdom, but I am afraid that over time, this relationship will become a fragile one.

"Li Heng arranged for Yuhe Xianli to get close to the prince. I'm afraid he was not sincere about Shengguo, but had other intentions."

Zezhou said: "Yes, I heard that the Crown Princess Jiang has shaved her head and become a nun to practice Buddhism."

Although Emperor Ming was stupid, he became suspicious whenever he heard that someone was plotting a rebellion and trying to seize the throne. He killed three sons in one day as if it were yesterday. The crown prince was terrified, fearing that someone else would have any evidence against him.

Li Huaijin put down the letter in his hand, his eyes flashing with disdain and contempt:

"The prince seems kind, but when his crown princess gets into trouble, he clears himself and divorces her, which can be regarded as calming your majesty's anger."

Emperor Ming felt sorry for Concubine Shen. It was not easy for the Crown Princess to save her life.

"The crown prince is not very intelligent. I once asked him to make suggestions to Your Majesty, to recruit more poor scholars from all over the world and to reduce the land of the nobles, but Your Majesty rejected his suggestion."

"I'll have to use this chess piece for a while longer, but I'm afraid I'll have to slowly discard it."

Zezhou said: "Your Majesty has been staying in Mount Li with Concubine Shen, and the palace maids are spreading rumors that are unbearable to hear."

Li Huaijin sighed and said, "It's a pity that your Majesty's achievements in the first half of his life will eventually be ruined by endless infamy."

Li Huaijin leaned slightly towards the desk, took out another letter, and under the candlelight, he could clearly see a few words on the paper.

"Nangong's old enemy..."

The corners of his lips curled up slightly with a smile, as long as he could hold Nangong Yu back:

"Go check if there is any poison that can control the other party."

Zezhou bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Inside Xiyue Hall in Huaihua General's Mansion, the breeze with a hint of warmth blew the candlelight, shining on Mu Jinan's thin and sharp face.

Since returning to Chang'an City, she has lost some weight. Now, in her free time every day, she either practices sword-fighting or reads books. Only in this way can she improve her knowledge and gain a foothold in the court.

At present, His Majesty favors Concubine Shen, and Shen Yuzhong in the court takes advantage of his power to bully others, exclude dissidents, hold several positions, and become more and more arrogant.

The war in Nanzhao broke out again, and Li Yuanyang, a leader of Beiqie, fled back to his tribe. There were hidden crises in the southwest and the north.

Although it has been many years since I traveled through time, the ancient books are still a bit difficult for me to read. I sometimes frown and circle the parts I don’t understand.

Meiluo came in from outside, looked around, asked Fanshu to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach, and hurriedly approached Mu Jinan and whispered:

"Ma'am, they've started!"

Mu Jinan lowered his eyes and shook his head, feeling disappointed and helpless, and said with some regret:

"She and I could have gotten along peacefully, but the way she's acting now makes it seem like we're destined to become enemies."

Meiluo leaned close to Mu Jinan's ear and whispered:

"Madam, the guards in the backyard reported that the man has come here many times secretly."

Mu Jinan's face darkened, his brows and eyes were cold, and he said disdainfully:

"Many fights are not that long and complicated. Solving them quickly will save you one less trouble in the future, freeing up your hands to do more things."

Meiluo took out an exquisite plum blossom jade bottle and said:

"Yes, my lady, this is the new medicine that the young master has prescribed for you. Please pay attention to the dosage when taking it and do not overdose."

Mu Jinan glanced at it and said calmly, "Put it down."

He then asked, "What useful information did the secret agent get from Prince Yuhe Gejiang?"

Mei Luo said: "The people we sent came back to report that when Prince Ge Jiang was drunk, he said that the little prince was his. The prince was also very tight-lipped, and there was nothing else."

Mu Jinan paused, his eyes clear, and he said with some confusion:

"what did he say?"

Meiluo said: "He said the little prince is his."

Mu Jinan pursed his lips, his eyebrows raised. What did he mean by that? This Prince Rui was from Sheng State, how did he become Ge Jiang's? Could it be that Li Heng was not the prince of His Majesty, but a spy sent by the Yuhe Clan?

"But when Li Heng returned to Chang'an, the palace servants who had served him when he was a child had already verified that the birthmark and scar on his body could not be mistaken."
