The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

At the entrance of the palace, Dongfang Li pushed Nangong Xu out. Xunyang first stepped forward and carried Nangong Xu into the carriage, and then put away the wheelchair.

"Why didn't the girl get in the car?"

"No one invited me to come along..."

"Ali……"

Nangong Xu stretched out his hand from the car.

Originally, Dongfang Li just wanted to tease Nangong Xu, but she didn't expect that he would actually let her play nonsense. Looking at the calloused big hand in front of her, Dongfang Li raised her eyebrows and directly put her little hand on the outstretched hand. Big hands, using his strength to get on the carriage.

"You've just been standing for a long time, you must be tired..."

"No, I have stood for longer before..."

Dongfang Li just said something casually, but in Nangongxu's ears it sounded like she was made to stand for a long time when she was a child.

"From now on, I will do everything for you. You don't need to do everything yourself. Do you understand?"

"Ok?"

"It's nothing. I'm afraid this trip to the border won't go so smoothly. There are many people who don't want General Dongfang to wake up, and there will be even more people who don't want me to be alive, so we have to prepare in advance."

"it is good."

Dongfang Li tilted her head and looked at Nangong Xu with a faint smile.

"what happened?"

"I didn't expect that the dignified Prince Xu, pretending to be weak, would actually be as good as the woman."

Dongfang Li obviously thought of Nangong Xu's soft plea just now in the imperial study room.

"Ali, everything must be done in a controlled manner. Haste leads to waste, and extreme means will lead to the opposite. Sometimes an appropriate show of weakness is not because we are really weak, but to better achieve our goals."

If Nangong Xu hadn't shown weakness and set up stalls from time to time over the years, I'm afraid that in most of the dynasties today, there would no longer be the existence of Prince Xu's Mansion and the Xu Family Army.

"I remembered it. By the way, have you found any results about the ring that I asked you to help investigate before?"

"That ring came from the Western Regions. There was such a ring among the tributes from the Western Regions back then. However, this ring has been kept in the palace warehouse. It was registered without specifying the person it was given to or the reward. Who?"

"So there are still no clues to follow..."

"It cannot be said that the exquisite palace spring carvings on the ring came from the jade carving masters of the Imperial Palace in the Western Regions. There were three such palace spring rings at that time, one in the palace and two in the Western Regions. The palace springs were even more from the Western Regions. The royal style, and..."

"Ok?"

"If my people read it correctly, the ring in the palace is still there, but I can't be sure whether the one in the palace... is the one that was paid tribute back then..."

"So... you mean that if the piece in the palace's warehouse is real... then there must be someone in the palace who is from the Western Regions, or there is someone in the palace who has a certain connection with the Western Regions..."

Dongfang Li was a little surprised and shocked by his guess.

"This person is hiding very deep, so you must be careful when entering the palace in the future. Everyone in the palace may..."

Nangong Xu patiently warned.

"This matter is not urgent. After all, so many years have passed, and there is no rush for this moment. The most important thing right now is to save my father and your legs."

"Now that you have used two medicinal materials, you need to find the remaining ones as soon as possible, otherwise the efficacy of the redbud and dragon scale grass will expire, and you will really be dead soon."

"Xunfeng and his men are looking for him, there should be news soon."

Even though they knew it was a word of comfort, the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't expose it.

Nangong Xu sent the person to the door of the general's mansion and did not leave until he saw her walking in and the door was closed.

When Dongfang Li passed by the front hall, she saw Aunt Liu sitting in a daze. She stopped and hesitated, and finally decided to tell her the news of her father's injury.

"Aunt Liu is sitting here in a daze. Is there anything difficult?"

"I have seen Miss."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu quickly stood up and saluted. Since she was reprimanded for calling her last time, she has obviously behaved a lot. Of course, there is also some selfishness in this. She secretly hopes that Dongfang Li will do it for her because she knows the rules. His daughter Dongfang Jiao is looking for a good marriage.

Parents who love their son must have far-reaching plans for it.

"I don't know what's going on. I've been feeling very panicked these past few days. I've never felt so uneasy before. Everything is fine in our family. Your father is alone leading troops to fight in the war. I'm worried..."

As Aunt Liu spoke, tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes. She clutched the handkerchief tightly and covered her chest in an attempt to calm down.

She really loved her father. If she didn't really love someone, she probably wouldn't cry like she is now just thinking about the possibility that he might get hurt.

Dongfang Li looked at Aunt Liu at this time, and suddenly felt that maybe his father was lucky. After losing a wife who loved him deeply like his mother, he could still meet a concubine who treated her sincerely like Aunt Liu.

"Auntie, don't be sad. I'm going out for a while tomorrow, and I need to explain some things to my auntie."

Dongfang Li helped Aunt Liu sit down, and he sat next to her.

"It's just what the eldest lady orders."

It was the first time she saw Dongfang Li treating her like this, and Aunt Liu was even a little scared.

"You are right. My father is injured. Today the king uploaded me to the palace because of this incident. I will go to the border with the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital to take care of my father early tomorrow morning."

"General...he..."

Aunt Liu burst into tears and was so choked that she couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely bring my father back intact. I also want my father to send me off to get married."

Dongfang Li gently patted Aunt Liu on the shoulder.

"After I leave, you and Jiaojiao try not to leave the house. If you need anything, let the servants do whatever you need to do. My father is injured. Prince Xu will also accompany me this time. He will help me find out." The reason is that you and Jiaojiao must take good care of yourselves at home, do you understand?"

There are some things that Dongfang Li can't say too much, and it's inconvenient to say them too clearly, but fortunately Aunt Liu is also smart, and he understood her meaning after just thinking about it.

"Don't worry, young lady, when you and the general come back, your wedding date for Prince Hexu will also be set. There are many things to prepare for this wedding, which will keep Jiaojiao and I busy for a long time..."

Aunt Liu gave Dongfang Li a reassuring look.

"Okay, thank you, auntie. Let's prepare what we can in advance. If we can't make up our mind, we can wait until father comes back."

"Yes."

"Auntie, if something happens to you, you must endure it as long as you can. When you are weak, you must be weak. Remember not to rush..."

"Don't worry, Miss. I understand. Everything is waiting for you and the general to come back..."

Dongfang Li talked to Aunt Liu for a long time, mainly because she was worried that someone would secretly do bad things after she left, but then she thought about it, this was the general's mansion, and those people wouldn't take action rashly if they had to.

偏苑

Dongfang Li tossed and turned while lying on the bed, and finally fell asleep until the light outside the window was already slightly bright.

On the other side, Nangong Xu returned to the palace and made various arrangements. The main concern was that there would be an accident on the way to the border. As he said, there were many people in most dynasties who envied and respected him, but at the same time, they wanted him to die. I'm afraid there will be more people.

Early the next morning, on the official road out of the city, three carriages were moving forward quickly and steadily. On the carriage headed by them was a sandalwood sign with a sharp and domineering word "Xu" on it.

In the carriage, the teapot on the charcoal stove was sizzling. Nangong Xu was leisurely warming the cup, taking the tea, washing the tea, and making the soup. The series of actions were very smooth and fluid. Dongfang Li sat on the small cushion and watched it. Bewildered.

"This is the Yushan Yunwu that was just delivered a few days ago. Give it a try."
