Nangong Qing wanted to tease him for no reason.

I've traveled through so many dimensions, assumed so many different identities, and always accomplished the missions assigned by the Transmigration Bureau with flying colors. I've never developed any feelings for anyone in any of these dimensions. For some reason, seeing him come visit me this morning, I felt inexplicably touched.

He hurried over to look for her. Was he really worried about her?

"The Emperor has issued an order, summoning you and me to the palace to attend Prince Qi's wedding banquet..."

The two of them walked together in Ruyiyuan Chaoshou Gallery. Nangong Qing raised her little head and looked at him with her bright eyes, fully expecting him to say something that would make them blush.

After all, the two of them have been getting along quite harmoniously in recent times, and she has helped him countless times. Even if he disliked her before, he should be grateful to her now.

His answer sobered her up a bit.

She was really overthinking it. He was the high and mighty Prince Yu, with a heart as hard as stone. On the surface, she was making money by diagnosing his illness, so how could he develop feelings for her because of this?

Her instinct was to refuse.

What she hated most was playing along. How could she be alone and at ease with a group of people who looked like they were on good terms but were actually different? Besides, she had to help her mother Fang Yun and her brother Nangong Xin with their illnesses. She didn't have time to waste on these insignificant people.

"That day, thieves broke into the Queen Mother's chambers, injured her, and stole countless rare treasures..."

Li Zhenting looked at him deeply and uttered a few words softly, which made Nangong Qing's heart skip a beat.

Could it be that he knew that she was the one who hurt the old witch? Was he deliberately using this to threaten her?

Forget it, forget it, this bastard is so sinister! He's trying to force her to go with ulterior motives.

"Alright, I'll let you report this to my mother..."

At this point, Nangong Qing had no choice but to agree. He was now her financial backer, and whether or not she could get the ten thousand taels of gold he promised depended entirely on his decision.

Therefore, even for the sake of money, you cannot go against his wishes!

Nangong Qing came to Fang Yun's bedroom to pay her respects and told Fang Yun that she was going to enter the palace.

"Go, Qing'er. Mother and Xin'er are much better now. Your Uncle Cao is at home, so don't worry..."

Although Fang Yun's face was still pale and sallow, her spirits had improved a lot. Qing'er had grown sensible, and Xin'er was getting better day by day. Was there anything more hopeful for her than these?

"Mother, allow me to ask you a question. Is Nangong Xun really my father?"

Nanny Zhang went to make medicine for Fang Yun, and Cao Ben accompanied Nangong Xin in the study to study. There were only the mother and daughter in the room. Nangong Qing was determined to find out about the things that had puzzled her.

Fang Yun's face suddenly turned red.

"I'll tell Qing'er the truth of the matter in detail later. Let's go into the palace first, so as not to keep Prince Yu waiting for too long..."

Although his mother didn't say it explicitly, Nangong Qing had already guessed something from her expression.

As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a mouse that can dig holes. How could someone like Nangong Xun give birth to twins like her and Nangong Xin? Not to mention their talent, their looks, figures, and personalities were completely insignificant.

Very good, since it is a fact that Nangong Xun is not the biological father, let him face Ji Feng!

After thinking about it, she also needed to check on Prince Jiajing's recovery after the operation. After preparing enough pills for Fang Yun and Nangong Xin, Nangong Qing and Li Zhenting took the same carriage to the palace.

"Prince Qi got married today and married two princesses at once. One of them is Nangong Yan, the second daughter of the Nangong Mansion, and the other one is said to be a princess chosen from the people..."

"Do you know why Prince Qi married two princesses at once? That's because the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said Nangong Yan had the fate of a golden phoenix, and whoever gets the golden phoenix will rule the world!

Even though Nangong Yan was disfigured, she could still help Prince Qi succeed. But she was too ugly after all, and the Queen couldn't let Prince Qi down, so Queen Lu married Prince Qi to a beautiful woman..."

When Li Zhenting and Nangong Qing entered the palace and walked along the imperial garden towards the banquet area in the imperial kitchen, they heard two little palace maids whispering.

When they heard the footsteps, the two little palace maids were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed. After all, discussing the master's affairs in the palace would probably result in beheading.

Li Zhenting strode past them as if he didn't hear anything. Nangong Qing hurriedly jogged to catch up with him, grabbed his wide sleeve, tilted his little head, looked at his face and started talking.

"Your Highness, this is interesting. Speaking of which, Your Highness, isn't it a disadvantage? Prince Qi plays with two phoenixes with one dragon, a pleasure that ordinary people can't get.

It is said that Nangong Yan is actually a golden phoenix. If you get the golden phoenix, you get the world. Why don’t I help the prince to snatch Nangong Yan back? After all, she was engaged to the prince before..."

Nangong Qing raised her hand and poked Li Zhenting who was walking beside her. His steps were too big and too fast, almost dragging her forward.

He gave her an unhappy look, shook off the arm that was holding his, and walked forward with big strides.

Tsk tsk, do you regret it?

Nangong Qing curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him. In front of power, women are nothing! As long as they can help them achieve their goals, let alone the disfigured Nangong Yan, even if it is an old sow, they will marry her back.

However, Nangong Yan was just a low-quality product born of a despicable father and a filthy mother. How could she possibly have the Golden Phoenix destiny? It seemed that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was siding with Prince Qi. Judging from the current situation, it was most likely bribed by Nangong Xun.

Well, I've inadvertently found another good excuse to bring down Nangong Xun! Fraud and bribery of court officials will cost you your life!

She narrowed her eyes and smiled evilly, then hurriedly trotted to catch up with Li Zhenting who was already far ahead.

The two men came to the banquet hall, where most people had already arrived.

It was a royal wedding banquet as expected. The table was filled with delicious food, including everything that flew in the sky and crawled on the ground. Prince Jiajing and Empress Lu sat in the main seats, accompanied by Prince Qi, Lu Pei'an, Grand Tutor Pang, Prime Minister Cao and others.

"Prince Yu and Princess Yu have arrived..."

When Prince Jiajing, who was originally sitting in the main seat, heard the eunuch's shout at the top of his voice, his eyes suddenly lit up.

No one knew what method Princess Nangong Qing of Prince Yu had used, but after he woke up from his sleep, the abdominal pain that had been tormenting him to the point of being miserable had more than half disappeared, and his physical condition had improved a lot.

Doctor Wen even showed him the post-operative conditioning instructions Prince Yu had sent him, reportedly written by Nangong Qing himself. The instructions, covering everything from diet to daily routine, were meticulously detailed, written in neat and powerful handwriting, which only further fascinated Prince Jiajing towards Nangong Qing.

If the Second Prince Li Zhenting had not specifically instructed not to let the news of Nangong Qing's superb medical skills spread, he would have wanted to make an exception and recruit Nangong Qing into the Imperial Medical Service to treat patients and save lives together with Imperial Doctor Wen.

"Prince Yu has finally arrived. If he had been any later, the banquet would have been completely cold...

Prince Yu, your attitude is a bit perfunctory. Prince Qi is the eldest prince, your royal brother. Not only did you arrive late for the banquet, but you didn't even present any gifts. This is really a bit out of order..."

Relying on his age and seniority, Lu Pei'an raised his voice and shouted at Li Zhenting when he saw him coming.
