The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

He clearly saw the resistance in Lin Miao's eyes, but he didn't want this woman to be possessed by someone else, so he went along with it and took her.

Before this, he was somewhat surprised when he learned that Lin Miao was the unfavored legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion. Rumors circulated that the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter was shameless and delusional, trying to seduce the Crown Prince, and was therefore abandoned by the Prime Minister, which was why no one dared to come to propose marriage to her for so many years.

Therefore, in his understanding, since the Prime Minister had actually sent his shameless daughter to his bed, he didn't need to be polite; it was just a woman he had slept with.

That night he tormented her for a long time, but during their intimate moments, he clearly felt her pain. Afterwards, he noticed a red stain on the sheets and realized that Lin Miao was not the shameless woman rumored to be, engaging in seduction at home!

From then on, Lin Miao became his woman. To atone for his guilt, he punished the aunt who had bullied her. This also made Prime Minister Lin begin to value this daughter more; as Lin Miao said, his appearance truly changed her life.

Just as he was gazing at the woman in his arms in the front hall, his thoughts churning, far away in the Mo residence in the north, Liu Siwan was sitting by the window, holding the jade pendant in her hand, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, in the palace of the Northern Li Emperor, in Consort De's palace, Consort De had just finished washing up and was preparing to retire for the night when a palace maid came to report: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince has arrived."

After listening to the palace maid's advice, Consort De put her coat back on, left her bedchamber, and went to the main hall.

"What happened? Why at this hour? And you even went to the palace? Aren't you afraid of being discovered!" At this moment, Consort De's tone was completely different from her usual timid and submissive manner.

Nangong Yu said with a serious expression, "My mother has sent word from the Southern Frontier that she plans to take action in a few days. We also need to make arrangements as soon as possible. I came to the palace today because I have been restless these past few days. Last time I went to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, although Nangong Li did not show any flaws..."

But my intuition tells me that the person wasn't the real Nangong Li. My son is worried that Nangong Li and Li Liuyun are no longer in the capital, and that we've lost the Southern Frontier.

Upon hearing Nangong Yu's words, Consort De asked in confusion, "Didn't you send Liu Siwan and her daughter to test him last time? Didn't Li Liuyun seem perfectly normal?"

Nangong Yu nodded: "Nangong Yi and Li Liuyun are indeed genuine. But a few days ago, Li Liujin, the heir of the Prince of Huainan's mansion, had a dispute with the grandson of the Duke of Dingguo, and they competed in martial arts at the academy. I'm sure Mother Consort has heard about it."

The mother felt that given Nangong Li and Li Liuyun's vengeful nature, how could they so easily let the Duke of Dingguo go? Therefore, her son was even more suspicious that the two men's identities were unusual!

Consort De frowned: "But there's nothing unusual about your father's side in the Southern Frontier. How can you be so sure that the two of them went to the Southern Frontier?"

Nangong Yu shook his head: "I can't be sure, but the portrait that was sent to Father last time should be the third young master of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, Xiao Jinhua, who was rescued."

Judging from the time he was rescued, it couldn't have been done by Nangong Li and Li Liuyun. Furthermore, Young Master Xiao San has not returned to Beili to this day; his whereabouts are unknown!

Not long after, at Nangong Chun's birthday banquet, following a series of events, Nangong Huan punished the two by confining them to their quarters. Surprisingly, the two didn't offer much resistance, seemingly accepting the punishment without question!

When Consort De heard about Nangong Chun's birthday banquet, she slowly spoke up: "At the time, I was a little surprised. Why did you help that Mo Zhixia? If it weren't for you helping her that time, the fact that she framed Liu Ruyan for miscarriage would have been confirmed!"

Nangong Yu scoffed: "The reason I helped her is because when Nangong Li and Li Liuyun got engaged last time, my son discovered that Princess Anping was under a spell and being controlled by someone. Later, my son investigated everyone present and made an unexpected discovery."

Unexpectedly, Mo Zhixia's mother, Liu Siwan, was skilled in Gu poison. It was she who administered the Gu poison to Princess Anping. Moreover, after seeing the jade pendant on Liu Siwan's body, I realized that she was the woman of my father's dreams who had been on my mind for so many years.

The son carefully observed Mo Zhixia's appearance and found she bore a striking resemblance to his father, about seven-tenths. After all, she was, in a way, his sister.

Upon hearing Nangong Yu's words, Consort De slammed her hand on the table: "What sister? She's nothing but a lowly maid who climbed into bed and gave birth to a bastard child!"

"Mother, please calm down! That mother and daughter are nothing but playthings. Wouldn't it be better if they could be used by your son? It's just that Father doesn't know about this. After the matters in the Southern Frontier and the Northern Li are resolved, we can get rid of that mother and daughter without anyone knowing. Mother, there's no need to get angry over such lowly people!"

"But right now, our most pressing task is to prepare for two possibilities. I've already used a spell on some officials in the court, hoping to use them to force Nangong Huan to abdicate. We don't yet have a sure chance of success!"

Consort De sneered, "Then let's capture the person Nangong Huan cares about most! I'm sure he'll submit. If it weren't for the Empress, how could I have ended up like this? If it weren't for the Gu worms in my body reminding me, I would have been just like those stupid women, manipulated by some unknown men. The ridiculous thing is those stupid women. They actually thought they were carrying Nangong Huan's child, each one strutting around, smug and self-satisfied."

I truly admire Nangong Huan. He has a green hat on his head, yet he can still raise a child who isn't his own bloodline without any resentment! Since he can let a stranger sleep with his concubines, it's clear he has absolutely no affection for me.

"Then I'll play along and grant his wish. At least the child I'm carrying will know who the father is. Those fools are pathetic; even now, they don't know how many men they've slept with, or whose child they're carrying. Truly pathetic and laughable!"

Seeing her mother's near-madness, Nangong Yu quickly changed the subject: "Does Mother mean to capture Mu Yuyan?"

"That's right. When I discovered she was pregnant, I had already placed a hidden Gu on her. I originally planned to wait until the day she gave birth to kill her and her child, so that Nangong Huan could feel the grief of their deaths! If I can't have her, I'll destroy her."

But since you're worried about things changing, there's no need to wait until Mu Yuyan is pregnant and gives birth. In a couple of days, I will ask the Emperor to let me visit the Empress at the temple. At that time, you can send someone to disguise themselves as the Empress and secretly capture and hide her!

Then, they'll send someone to poison everyone in the Prince of Huainan's residence, and then capture the heir apparent, Li Liujin. With a hostage in hand and court officials as leverage, they have no fear that Nangong Huan, Nangong Li, the Princess, and the others won't obediently surrender!

Even if they went to the Southern Frontier, your father's Gu technique is unmatched, and he has that group of medicine people at his disposal. Even if Li Liuyun has great abilities, he cannot control the spread of the epidemic.

Even if they manage to return to Beili, it will be too late. By then, both Nanjiang and Beili will be completely under the control of me and your father. What is there to fear?!
