The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

The empty treasury made Nangong Xu look heavy. You must know that when the previous king, his father, was alive, the money in the treasury was enough to maintain the entire Dadu Dynasty for more than ten years. But now...

"Have you found out where the money went?"

In Linfeng Pavilion, Nangong Xu was sitting on the main seat, with a terrifyingly gloomy face.

"Preliminary investigation... part of it was embezzled privately by Empress Dowager Xiao, part was secretly sent to Daru today, and part of it is being investigated by our people..."

Xunjian told Nangongxu the results of the investigation one by one.

"It seems that he has not been living a very good life during the past few years when you were ill."

Dongfang Li smiled contemptuously and looked at Nangong Xu with eyes full of heartache.

"In order to get rid of me, he was willing to risk the entire Dadu Dynasty..."

Nangong Xu's face was full of bitterness. It turned out that...his so-called brother really did everything he could to secure his position.

"Xunjian, send more people to check and see where he used the other part of the money. We must find out as soon as possible, just in case."

Dongfang Li looked at Xunjian with cold eyes.

"Yes, I will send more manpower immediately."

Xunjian turned and left, leaving only Nangongxu and Dongfang Li in Linfeng Pavilion.

"Ali, what do you think I have to do so that he can truly believe that I am not interested in that position?"

Nangong Xu hugged Dongfang Li sadly and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Human nature is like this. Your Majesty has known for a long time, right? Why worry about who this person is? Nangong Hefeng is so narrow-minded. Even without you, the Dadu Dynasty would probably be in turmoil."

Dongfang Li didn't comfort him, but revealed the cruelest aspect of the matter directly in front of him.

"Ali, is now what you always say - the world is awake?"

"Yes."

"It's better to be sober, don't you think..."

Nangong Xu took a deep breath, put aside all his negative emotions, and looked directly at Dongfang Li.

"It's not necessarily good to be too sober. It's easy to have no friends. Just like me, except for Ruixue and Zheng'er, I have no one else..."

"Other people's opinions don't matter. As long as I think Ah Li is good, then Ah Li is the best..."

The next day, in the morning.

"Your Majesty, Princess, a message has been sent from the palace. The Queen Mother invites ladies from various palaces to go to Kangning Palace for a gathering."

Xunyu said, putting the post on the table aside and waiting for Nangongxu's instructions.

"I feel cold and feel unwell. The princess is taking care of me personally. It is not advisable to go out."

"Yes."

"Is this really good?"

Dongfang Li ate her breakfast carefully. She got up very late every day recently, so her diet was a little irregular. For example, right now, it was almost lunch time, but she was eating breakfast.

"Does Ali want to listen to their false flattery?"

"I don't want to. If I have that time, I would rather sleep a little longer."

"If Ali feels tired, go lie down for a while after eating."

Nangong Xu put a piece of green bamboo shoot into Dongfang Li's bowl.

"I won't sleep anymore. If I continue to sleep, my day and night will be reversed."

Dongfang Li picked up the bamboo shoots in the bowl, took a big bite, and successfully received the first white eye of the day.

"Ling Ling is already in the back mountain, does Ali want to take a look soon?"

Nangong Xu cleverly changed the topic.

"Well, I'll go take a look later. Your Majesty, don't follow me. I haven't looked at yesterday's accounts yet. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

Dongfang Li put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up and left gracefully.

"Did I not do well enough? It seems I need to work harder..."

Nangong Xu muttered softly, and Dongfang Li, who had just walked out of the door, staggered in fright. Fortunately, he helped a pillar in time.

In the back mountain of Prince Xu's Mansion, White Tiger Lightning was running happily in the mountains, like a child who had been away from home for a long time and suddenly returned to his hometown. Even Dongfang Li, who was watching from the side, could feel the happiness in Lightning.

"It seems that the decision to bring it back and guard it was the right one. Look at how excited it is..."

"Yeah, I haven't seen Lightning so happy in a long time."

On the way back with the lightning, Xunyang could already feel that it was about to move.

"Let Lightning live here in the future. Before, we were worried that it would be inconvenient to plant it here. But now it seems that we have worried too much. Lightning will protect this place very well. Moreover, there should be no one better than Lightning." It’s suitable, don’t you think?”

Dongfang Li finished her words. After waiting for a long time, Xunyang didn't reply. She couldn't help but look back. After just one glance, she couldn't move away anymore.

As the sun set, the man stood two steps away from him with the light behind him. He had starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, and his dark hair was tied up high with a jade crown. His thin lips were slightly pursed. When he saw the woman's dreamy gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. It rises and cannot be suppressed no matter how hard it is pressed.

"Ali……"

"Why are you here? Have you read all the accounts?"

After Dongfang Li took a step, he jumped directly towards the man standing under the sunset - Nangong Xu.

"Be careful, don't fall."

Nangong Xu opened his arms, caught the person steadily, and held him in his arms.

"Are you going to let me fall?"

Dongfang Li raised her head and looked at Nangong Xu. He was not wearing a mask today. The scar on his face has now recovered, and the previous faint pink color has faded, and it looks like other skin.

"No, Nangong Xu will never let Dongfang Li fall!"

Nangong Xu looked at the woman in front of him seriously. She had a beautiful and elegant face, but there was a hint of sharpness and sharpness in her eyes that did not match her fragile appearance.

"I knew that Ah Xu would never let me fall."

Dongfang Li put her forehead against Nangong Xu's, her eyes flowing, only the figures of each other remained in her eyes.

royal palace.

The sound of singing and dancing in Shoukang Palace showed no trace of the impact of the drought in Jiangdong.

After the song ended, Queen Mother Xiao Lingluo waved away the dancing girl and looked around at the ladies sitting below.

"Huh? Why don't you see Princess Xu?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the person who went to deliver the message came back and said that Prince Xu had caught a cold and was bedridden. Princess Xu was waiting on her personally and it was not appropriate to go out."

Aunt Ju Ruo brought the messenger back and told the Empress Dowager exactly what she said in front of the concubines.

"Is King Xu sick? Have you informed the imperial doctor? It's almost summer now, why are you still suffering from wind and cold?"

The Queen Mother said words of concern, but she complained in her heart that she didn't get sick earlier or later, but he got sick when she was hosting a banquet. This was obviously his excuse to not let Princess Xu enter the palace.

Wait, why does King Xu refuse to let Princess Xu enter the palace? Could it be...
