The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

After bowing to everyone, Qingyang led them into the mansion. It must be said that the mansion chosen by Nangong Li was quite impressive. After several days of renovation, even the gardens within the mansion had been completely renewed. The furniture and other items in the main courtyards were all prepared, made of the finest golden nanmu and rosewood.

Qingyang explained to Li Jin'an, "The furniture in this mansion was all selected by the masters. If Your Highness, Your Highness, or Your Highness wishes to change anything, please let me know, and I will ensure that everything is ready when you move in."

Li Jin'an nodded: "Jinyu has excellent taste. The items she has chosen are all of the highest quality. That's good. However, you need to tell Jinyu the price of the furniture. I will send someone to deliver it to your residence another day."

Qingyang hurriedly replied, "Your Highness said that these are just his heartfelt wishes as a son-in-law. Please don't take them to heart, Your Highness. Just consider them as a congratulatory gift for your and the Princess's housewarming. If Your Highness refuses, it means that he doesn't regard you as his son-in-law."

When Li Jin'an heard Qingyang say that, he was both amused and exasperated. This brat really knew how to shut him up with his words, but this son-in-law was indeed quite good.

After touring the Prince of Huainan's residence, the sun was already setting. They discussed that once the Imperial Astronomical Bureau selected an auspicious day, Li Jin'an would be formally recognized as a member of the royal family, and then they would move into the Prince of Huaiyang's residence. Afterwards, they bid farewell to the Princess and Li Linfeng, and Li Jin'an and his family returned to the Xiao residence with Xiao Yi and his wife.

After Nangong Li came out of the palace gate, he was supposed to go with Li Liuyun to the Princess's residence to read the imperial edict. On the way, he received a report from An Yi that there was an urgent report from the border and he needed to go back to deal with it. So he bid farewell to everyone and returned to the Pingnan Prince's residence.

Inside the study, Nangong Li sat at his desk, holding a letter sealed with sealing wax. He opened the letter, which contained only a few lines: "An upheaval has occurred in the Southern Frontier. The Crown Prince has been imprisoned. His adopted son, Chu Yu, is actually his biological son. His mother is the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier. Both the Holy Maiden and her son have disappeared. The last known location of the clues is in the Northern Frontier."

Nangong Li held the letter in one hand, lit it on the candle flame, and then threw it into the charcoal basin. The letter turned to ashes.

Then the study door was pushed open, and An Yi came in: "The spies in the master's palace have sent word that yesterday, Consort Liu summoned the Duke of Dingguo and the Prince of Qing to see him. They stayed in the palace for about half an hour. I wonder if it is related to the news that the spies from the southern border sent today."

Nangong Li nodded. The others watched the Qin Prince's residence closely, observing their every move. Meanwhile, spies were dispatched to inquire about the whereabouts of the Southern Frontier Holy Maiden and her son, Chu Yu. Any news was to be reported immediately, lest it alert the enemy.

"Yes! I'll arrange it immediately." An Yi accepted the order and left.

Nangong Li's thoughts were in turmoil. Any disturbances in the Southern Frontier might lead to war at the border, but for now, he needed to find Chu Yu and her mother. The current King of the Southern Frontier was incompetent, tyrannical, and licentious.

Rumor has it that the Holy Maiden was the Crown Prince's fiancée, but when she went to the palace to see the Emperor, she was taken in by the lecherous King of Southern Xinjiang, and the two were forced to separate. Unexpectedly, the two were secretly having an affair, and even had a son who was raised in the Crown Prince's residence, and no one found out.

To stop the Southern Frontier from launching an attack, the only option is to join forces with its crown prince to overthrow the Southern General King and establish a new dynasty, but we must have leverage in our hands.

The most advantageous bargaining chip at present is the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden and Chu Yu. Thinking of this, Nangong Li put his hand to his forehead. It is really not easy to find two people in the vast Northern Li.

Unexpectedly, the problem that troubled Nangong Li was solved by Li Liuyun a month later by chance.

Back at the Xiao residence, Li Liuyun returned to her room, closed the door, and slipped into her spatial dimension. She had promised her father she would help settle the wounded soldiers, so she needed to open several more workshops. But she needed to consider which workshops to open.

The seasonings and tofu were already planned to be shared with Wuming and Xiaoliu. Li Liuyun thought for a moment and realized that it was easiest to make money from women and children. Women simply liked beautiful things, and children simply liked novel and cute things.

After thinking it over, Li Liuyun decided that for women, she would choose cosmetics, clothes and jewelry, and for children, she would choose dolls and toys.

Then Li Liuyun thought of something else: most of the plush toys and stuffed animals produced in prisons these days. In this ancient world, she could do the opposite and use wounded soldiers to make these simple plush toys.

After Li Liuyun sorted out these thoughts, he left the space. It was already getting dark. He pushed open the door and saw Lian'er carrying a food box, walking towards him.

When Lian'er saw Li Liuyun push open the door, she stepped forward and said, "Miss, Madam came to our courtyard at dinner time. She saw that your door was closed and said that you might be tired today, so she didn't call you. She asked me to bring some food over and said that you can heat it up and eat it after you wake up."

Li Liuyun then looked at the sky. It was indeed already dark. He then had Lian'er set out dinner and began to eat.

In the imperial study, Nangong Huan finished reviewing the memorials in his hand and looked up at Li Deshan: "Has the Empress rested yet?"

When Li Deshan heard Nangong Huan ask about the Empress, he smiled and said, "Just now, Granny Liu reported that after the Empress returned to the palace today, she ordered the guards to close the palace gates and guard them strictly. She also said that she would buy vicious dogs to tie up at the palace gates tomorrow."

Nangong Huan smiled and said, "Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare a few more meat bones tomorrow. I want to use them to beat the dogs."

It has to be said that experience counts, and Granny Li was indeed prescient. When Nangong Huan arrived that night, he found the palace gates tightly shut. Li Deshan knocked on the door but no one answered. In the end, Nangong Huan had no choice but to use his light-footed skills to climb over the wall and enter. The nanny and maid on night duty remained calm and composed when they saw Nangong Huan arrive.

Nangong Huan waved his hand, and everyone consciously withdrew. Nangong Huan then pushed open the door and went straight to the Empress's bedside. He saw that the person on the bed was not only hot, but had also just taken a bath, with a rosy complexion and a fair arm draped over the blanket. Nangong Huan looked at the person on the bed and swallowed hard. She seemed to be even more beautiful than when he saw her in the morning.

Nangong Huan took off his coat and boots, lifted the blanket, lay down next to Mu Yuyan, and pulled her into his arms.

Mu Yuyan was startled awake by Nangong Huan's actions. Just as she was about to cry out, Nangong Huan covered her mouth with his. After a moment, Nangong Huan gently bit Mu Yuyan's lip, released her, and looked at the person in front of him. His face was even more flushed, and he was panting heavily.

Mu Yuyan covered her mouth and scolded, "Nangong Huan, are you a dog? You not only eat it, but you also chew it!"

Nangong Huan stared at Mu Yuyan's face with a wicked grin: "Didn't Yan'er say I'm too old, almost old enough to be your father? Since Yan'er thinks I'm too old, it means I'm definitely unable to satisfy Yan'er's needs. Tonight, why don't I, this old man, take good care of our Empress?" After saying that, he ignored Mu Yuyan's objections and struggles, grabbed the quilt, and wrapped the two of them in it.

Faint pleas for mercy could be heard from under the covers, which later turned into sobs. Only the swaying bed curtains and flickering candlelight indicated how fierce the battle had been that night.
