The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Unexpectedly, when they looked up, they met eyes with Nangong Huaiyuan. Although Nangong Huaiyuan was wearing a mask, Li Muxia and Nangong Yufeng both guessed who he was.

Nangong Yufeng frowned: Why is Nangong Huaiyuan here, and why is he bidding for the top courtesan of Yihong Pavilion?

Although the top courtesan of Yihong Pavilion is quite beautiful, she was born into a brothel and is said to be twenty-five years old this year; otherwise, the madam wouldn't have let her redeem herself. What is Nangong Huaiyuan up to now? He doesn't believe that his heartless third brother is spending fortunes on a beautiful woman.

Seeing the way Nangong Huaiyuan was looking at Li Muxia, Nangong Yufeng walked up to Li Muxia, blocking Nangong Huaiyuan's gaze.

The madam was taken aback when she heard Nangong Huaiyuan's bid, and then quickly brought down the gavel, as if afraid that Nangong Huaiyuan would change his mind.

Li Muxia felt very uncomfortable with the gaze that Nangong Huaiyuan was casting at her, as if she were prey being targeted by a hunter.

Seeing that the auction was over, Li Muxia really didn't want to stay there any longer, so she pulled Nangong Yufeng and prepared to leave.

Just as the two reached the lobby, Nangong Huaiyuan gave a signal to someone in the crowd. Upon receiving the signal, the person immediately drew a dagger from their waist and stabbed the person next to them.

Blood splattered all over the face of the woman in the man's arms, and the woman screamed in terror, "Murder!"

The lobby instantly descended into chaos. Li Muxia and Nangong Yufeng clearly hadn't expected to encounter such a situation. By the time they realized what was happening, the two had already been separated by the crowd.

Nangong Yufeng intended to use his lightness skill to get to Li Muxia, but the man who had killed someone suddenly attacked him with a dagger, so he had to deal with the person in front of him first.

Qingyun, hiding in the shadows, initially wanted to help, but he clearly felt Nangong Huaiyuan's gaze: this man could sense his presence. He instinctively sensed the man's danger. This man's martial arts skills were probably comparable to the Pavilion Master's.

In the blink of an eye, when Qingyun went to look for Li Muxia, she was nowhere to be found in the crowd.

Qingyun realized then that he had lost sight of her and needed to find Li Muxia quickly, otherwise how could he explain to the Pavilion Master, who was the future Pavilion Master's wife?

After Nangong Yufeng subdued the man, government officials arrived at the scene and arrested him.

Nangong Yufeng searched through the crowd but couldn't find Li Muxia. He looked up at the second floor and, sure enough, Nangong Huaiyuan was gone too.

Although he knew that Nangong Huaiyuan must have taken the person away, he couldn't confront him rashly because he had no evidence to prove that Nangong Huaiyuan was the one who took the person away.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yufeng weakly punched a pillar: he had clearly promised to protect her.

The next morning, when Li Muxia woke up, she found herself lying in a bed. She touched her neck and remembered what had happened the day before. In her confusion, she only felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck before losing consciousness.

Looking around, Li Muxia knew that she had definitely been kidnapped by someone. However, her kidnapper probably didn't want to hurt her, otherwise they wouldn't have left her in such a nice room without tying her up.

Just as Li Muxia was analyzing the current situation, she heard footsteps approaching, followed by a sound coming from the doorway.

"She hasn't woken up yet." It was Nangong Huaiyuan's voice.

Li Muxia quickly lay down and pretended to be unconscious.

"Your Highness, the lady has not yet woken up."

Madam? Li Muxia got goosebumps all over when she heard the term "maid". When did she become Nangong Huaiyuan's wife?

Just as Li Muxia was still thinking about what to call a maid, the door was pushed open.

Nangong Huaiyuan came to Li Muxia's bedside and sat down beside her, looking at her.

Li Muxia felt the bed sink slightly, realizing that Nangong Huaiyuan was sitting beside her bed. She was very alarmed, but tried her best to remain calm.

Unfortunately, Nangong Huaiyuan still discovered it. He looked at Li Muxia with great interest and suddenly wanted to tease her.

Nangong Huaiyuan slowly approached Li Muxia. Li Muxia felt Nangong Huaiyuan's face getting closer and closer, and his breath sprayed on her face: What does Nangong Huaiyuan want to do?

Before she could think, she felt Nangong Huaiyuan's hair fall onto her face. She opened her eyes abruptly and saw Nangong Huaiyuan's face magnified in her vision. Startled, Li Muxia pushed Nangong Huaiyuan away and sat up.

After being pushed by Li Muxia, Nangong Huaiyuan was not annoyed. He looked at Li Muxia and asked with a smile, "What, not pretending anymore?"

Li Muxia pointed at Nangong Huaiyuan and said, "You, you are shameless."

Nangong Huaiyuan smiled slightly and said, "I am your savior. If it weren't for me, you would have been trampled into mincemeat by the crowd long ago."

Li Muxia was a man of principle, knowing that he was no match for Nangong Huaiyuan. He didn't know where Nangong Huaiyuan had taken his belongings. Now that he had no poison to protect himself and couldn't defeat Nangong Huaiyuan, he could only submit to him for the time being and then try to escape.

"Since King Huai saved me, I am naturally extremely grateful."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Prince Huai casually asked, "Oh, so how do you plan to thank me?"

Upon hearing Prince Huai's words, Li Muxia did not answer but instead asked, "How does Prince Huai wish to repay me? As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost."

Prince Huai looked at Li Muxia with a slight smile and said, "I lack nothing, except for a confidant to accompany me. Why don't you offer yourself to me, Doctor Xia?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia, enraged, said, "Prince Huai, what exactly do you want to do?"

Looking at the furious Li Muxia, Nangong Huaiyuan said calmly, "Haven't I made myself clear enough?"

Li Muxia was so angry she couldn't speak. This Prince Huai was just playing with her. She wasn't naive enough to think that Prince Huai had fallen in love with her. This man was treacherous and cunning. He might have captured her to deal with Nangong Yufeng. She had to find a way to escape.

Looking at Li Muxia's puffed-up face, Nangong Huaiyuan suddenly found the girl in front of him rather cute, and wondered why he wanted to pinch her cheeks.

Nangong Huaiyuan was somewhat taken aback when he realized the change in his heart.

He captured Li Muxia only to lure Feng Yuhan out, as he had suffered many losses at the hands of the Shadow Pavilion over the years.

All the spies he planted in the Eastern Kingdom were wiped out by the Shadow Pavilion's guards. Although it was unknown whose forces the Shadow Pavilion belonged to, it was certain that it did not belong to their Southern Ling Kingdom.

In the past two years, Shadow Pavilion's business in Nanling Kingdom has developed rapidly. By the time he discovered it, Shadow Pavilion's business had gradually matured, and he could not shake it no matter what he tried. At first, he did not find out that it was Shadow Pavilion's business, until last year when he discovered some clues.

People only know that the Shadow Pavilion is an intelligence organization, but they don't know that the Shadow Pavilion's influence has infiltrated all walks of life.

This is very dangerous. If the Shadow Pavilion has planted spies in other countries within their own, then once a war is launched, they could destroy the Southern Ling Kingdom with just commercial constraints, without lifting a finger.
