Dongfang Li listened to the knocking sound on the table, and her mind went blank. The feeling of nearness and distance became stronger and stronger, as if something wanted to come out.

Dongfang Li hurriedly recited the Pure Heart Mantra in his heart. As the Pure Heart Mantra echoed in his mind over and over again, his thoughts gradually became clearer.

"It turns out that the upright Prince Xu is also well aware of these heresy."

"I didn't expect Miss Dongfang to be a member of the same group."

Nangong Xu believed that even though his hypnosis skills had not reached the pinnacle, they were not something that ordinary people could easily resolve.

This woman is not simple.

This was Nangong Xu's first impression of Dongfang Li.

"Should I be lucky that I have the same interests as the prince?"

"I don't care who you are or what the purpose of occupying Dongfang Li's identity is. If you threaten the stability of Dadu, I will definitely let you die without a body!"

Facing Nangong Xu's stern gaze, Dongfang Li couldn't help but laugh.

"As expected of Prince Xu, the god of war in Dadu. He always takes the safety of the people as his mission."

Dongfang Li took a bite of the food gracefully.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm just a [-]-year-old girl waiting to be married. In the days to come, I just want to stay at home to support my husband and raise my children. If I have nothing to do, maybe I can plant flowers, raise grass, and feed fish at home. .”

"It's better!"

"My lord, let's have a try. How is today's dish? Heyue Xuan will put up a sign at the door every day, indicating the dishes in the store every day. Today's dish is not to your taste. Next time, remember to let the people below check it before coming over, so as not to He Yuexuan is guilty of having a jade in his possession."

Dongfang Li was blessed and turned around to leave.

At the door of the restaurant, Dong Shuang had already bought snacks and was waiting quietly for Dongfang Li.

"Miss."

"Well, let's go, go back."

"Yes."

When the master and servant returned to the general's mansion, the concubine Liu Auntie, dressed in rose-red clothes, was scolding the people in her yard.

"What on earth did your master do? If you don't tell me the truth, believe it or not, I will sell you to a brothel!"

"Aunt Liu, our lady has gone out. As for where she went, how can we, the servants, know."

Qiulian explained patiently.

"You don't know? The master has gone out, and if you don't follow him, why will the mansion support you?"

"Have you forgotten, Aunt Liu, that this is my yard, and Qiulian and the others are my people. If you want to send my people away, shouldn't you ask my opinion first?"

Dongfang Li crossed Aunt Liu and looked at Qiulian and the others carefully. Seeing that they were not injured, she turned slightly and looked at Aunt Liu.

"Auntie came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Li'er..."

"You should call me Miss."

Dongfang Li corrected Aunt Liu's name on her more than once.

"I am the mistress of this mansion. It is not an exaggeration to call you Li'er."

"Aunt Liu, please don't forget your identity. Don't say that you are just an aunt. Even if you are a stepmother, you are still a concubine. I am the legitimate daughter of this house. You and I are different in dignity, so don't lose your sense of proportion."

Aunt Liu's hands hidden under her sleeves were already clenched into balls, and she didn't even realize that her nails were digging into her palms.

"Yes, eldest lady, I am here to inform you that Sun Ruixue, the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, has sent an invitation to all the ladies to attend the peony party..."

"Summer Rain"

Dongfang Li signaled Xia Yu to take the invitation, and then turned around and returned to her humble house.

In previous years, Dongfang Li didn't attend any gatherings. Firstly, she didn't like the large number of people. Secondly, this kind of occasion was nothing more than a competition between young masters and young ladies from various families, and then they would see if they liked each other, and then leave it to the family to decide. A matchmaker.

But Nangong Xu's words today reminded her that she was not the only one in the General's Mansion. Although the rumors in Kyoto were slandering herself, it was the General's Mansion's face that was ultimately disgraced.

"Miss..."

"Aunt Liu, what else can you do?"

Aunt Liu walked behind Dongfang Li in a few steps, hunched over with an apologetic smile on her face.

"Miss, Jiaojiao is about to get haircut. The general is not at home. As an aunt, I don't have much ability. You see..."

"Let my second sister accompany me to this peony party."

"Yes, thank you, miss."

Inside the room, Chunlu pouted, her face full of displeasure.

"Miss, you finally attended a flower party, why did you bring the second lady with you?"

"Chunlu, Jiaojiao is a concubine. In previous years, if I didn't go, she wouldn't be able to go if she wanted to. Since I will participate this year, it is appropriate to take her with me. I hope she will know how to use it."

……

the other side

As soon as Dongfang Li left, Nangong Xu picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the dishes on the table carefully.

Every dish is unique, and I don’t know how it is made. The meat melts in your mouth, the tofu is soft and glutinous, and even the fish that he usually never touches is soft and boneless, without even a trace of fishy smell.

"She is an interesting little girl."

"Xunyu..."

"Lord"

"Next time you come out, you can eat whatever you have."

"Yes, my subordinates are wrong."

Xunyu lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Let's go. Now that we're out, let's go for a walk outside the city."

Nangong Xu picked up the mask on the table and put it on, while Xunyu pushed the wheelchair and left through the back door.

……

"Xunjian, go check on Dongfang Li in the General's Mansion. Everything is detailed."

In the carriage, Nangong Xu gave instructions in a low voice.

"Yes."

Xunjian turned and left.

"Looking for rain, go to Wushan."

"Yes."

Deep in the foggy mountains, Xunyu was making the bed outside. Behind the screen, Nangongxu was closing his eyes and relaxing in the hot spring pool.

This is a natural hot spring that Nangong Xu discovered by accident. He also unexpectedly discovered that the water in the hot spring pool can reduce the pain caused to him when the poison in the body is released, but it is only a temporary relief.

Over the years, his men have searched all over the country, but no medicine can resolve the poison in his body.

Gradually, Nangong Xu got used to the pain when the poison struck, and even got used to the company of pain. Back then, his face was disfigured and he was paralyzed in bed due to poisoning. Only when the poison took hold could he feel that he was still alive.

Shangguan Yu, the miracle doctor respected by everyone in the world, could only help him reduce the impact of poison on his body after many years of treatment.

It wasn't until late at night that Nangong Xu came out of the hot spring pool, changed his clothes with Xun Yu's help, and took a nap on the bed.

Outside the house, tall trees provided the best cover. A group of men in black were running at high speed, with the target being a hut deep in the foggy mountains.

"Your Majesty, someone is coming."

"Being able to find this place is considered a skill."

Nangong Xu watched the figures moving outside the window with burning eyes.

"Nangong Xu, you are indeed here! Today, I am going to kill you."

The person's face was covered, so his appearance couldn't be seen, but from his slightly stooped back, it was easy to tell that he was no longer young.

"You are not the only one who wants to take my life. Who is your Excellency?"

"Go to Huangquan and ask for details!"

The men in black swarmed forward, and Xunyu gradually lost ground with one against eight. The leader made a feint and passed Xunyu directly to approach Nangongxu.
