After finishing the meal, Dongfang Li was already a little drunk.

"Is this drunk?"

Because the poison in Nangong Xu's body had not been completely eliminated, Dongfang Li forbade him to drink, so he didn't drink at all that night, so all the small jar of Bamboo Leaf Green sent by Lu Yi went into Dongfang Li's mouth.

"How can you take care of me if I'm not drunk? If you don't take care of me, how can those people who followed me all the way without a chance to make a move go back to report to their master..."

"My Ali is really considerate of others..."

Into the night

The streets of Yecheng were filled with silhouettes of people, all targeting He Yuexuan.

In Dongfang Li's room, Nangong Xu carefully covered its owner with the quilt again.

Who would have thought that the concubine of the General's Mansion, the head of Heyue Xuan, and the owner of the April Building would actually sleep under the quilt?

Normally, Dongfang Li looks beautiful and elegant. Occasionally, she will show some shyness and escape that belong to a little girl in front of her. The sleeping look now is probably the version of herself that she deliberately hides.

……

A puff of white smoke drifted into the house along the cracks in the doors and windows.

The tiles on the roof were carefully lifted, and the masked man in black carefully observed the scene inside the house.

The woman slept peacefully on the bed, while the man in the wheelchair struggled slightly and fell sideways on the edge of the bed.

After confirming the situation inside the house, the man on the roof made a gesture, and the bolted door was easily opened from the outside.

He also had his face covered and was dressed in black night clothes, but it was obvious that the man who came in from the main entrance was their boss.

"It is said that the God of War Nangong Xu has great martial arts skills, but I didn't expect that even his skills would deteriorate so much after he became disabled."

"We were fooled, retreat..."

The leading man in black looked at the neat furnishings in the room and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Even if Nangong Xu's martial arts has declined, there are still many people with strong martial arts following him. How could they not notice when they walked into this room in such a grand manner?

If they are not really incompetent, then it can only mean that they are waiting for them to enter this situation that has been set up for a long time.

Compared to the former, the leading man in black believed it was the latter.

"Since you are here, don't leave, stay."

Lu Yi and others appeared at the door, blocking their way to leave.

"Lu Yi, don't disturb the princess to rest..."

Nangong Xu, who was lying next to the bed, now sat upright and carefully tucked Dongfang Li into the bed.

"Yes……"

Lu Yi's voice was obviously much softer.

"Prince Xu, we also take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, just to make a living. I am willing to send the prince a message, just in exchange for the prince being willing to let me and my brothers go."

Those who know the current affairs are heroes. The leading man in black knew when they saw Lu Yi that they might not be able to go back alive tonight.

"I don't like harming innocent people. If your information is useful, I will consider letting you and your brothers go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. According to my analysis, we may just be the first wave of His Majesty who came to test us. We followed him for a long time and never found a suitable opportunity to make a move. Now that we are captured so easily by His Majesty, it is even more confirmed. My thoughts below.”

"Oh? What are your plans later?"

"I don't know the details. It seems that someone around General Dongfang has been controlled. In addition, I also heard that if General Dongfang wakes up, you should be careful on the way back to the capital..."

The leading man in black told Nangong Xu all the news he heard.

"Lu Yi, take the person down and find an opportunity to release him after the information is verified."

From the beginning to the end, Nangong Xu's eyes never left Dongfang Li. Watching her sleep peacefully seemed to be the most beautiful thing in the world.

……

next day

Dongfang Li was checking He Yuexuan's accounts when the sound of wheels sounded and Nangong Xu's figure appeared in her sight.

"Ali will definitely be a great mistress in the future."

Thick accounts, small hairpins and small regular script annotations are written in the corners.

"Don't think about blaming everything on me. My ideal is to grow vegetables, enjoy fish and eat delicious food."

"No, Ali can be her own queen when outside, and she can be my princess at home."

"This is what you said, I will remember it."

Dongfang Li marked the last account, put away his pen and ink, and turned to look at Nangong Xu.

"How's the investigation going on last night?"

"That person should be telling the truth. Lu Yi will release him at a suitable time."

"Prince Xu is really good at thinking about others!"

In the same words, Nangong Xu just talked about Dongfang Li yesterday, and today she returned it intact to him.

"You can apply what you learned so quickly?"

Nangong Xu raised his fingers and tapped Dongfang Li's forehead.

"Knock it again and you'll become a little dragon... This is the second time you've hit me!"

Even she herself didn't notice the coquettish tone.

"I was wondering if I could crack open your head and see what's inside. Why are you so smart?"

"You want to crack my head open...Nangongxu, are you willing to do it?"

Dongfang Li suddenly came closer, and their faces were just a little bit close to touching each other.

Nangong Xu's breath brushed her cheek, thin and itchy. It was the first time she was so close that Dongfang Li could even clearly see the pores on his face.

"Ali……"

"I……"

Dongfang Li suddenly realized what she had done. The blush on her cheeks spread to the tips of her ears. She backed away suddenly, but forgot about the stool behind her.

Seeing Dongfang Li tripping over a stool and about to fall, Nangong Xu caught her in a flash.

"Are you okay Ali, did you fall?"

Nangong Xu asked eagerly.

"I am fine."

"Really okay?"

"Prince Xu, do you still want to check it yourself?"

Seeing him caring so much about her, Dongfang Li was filled with joy.

"Naughty again, you forgot the lesson just now, right?"

Nangong Xu helped her stand up, looked up and down, found no injuries, and sat back in his wheelchair.

"Nangong Xu, have you ever thought about getting rid of the scar on your face?"

Dongfang Li's slender fingers traced along the scars on Nangongxu's face.

"Ali, do you mind?"

"No, this is evidence of your sacrifice for the Dadu Dynasty. I just asked you that, just to know why you kept it in the first place."

"...Compared to being alive, being disfigured seems a bit insignificant."

"After the poison is detoxified and the person who poisoned you is found, how about I help you remove this scar?"

"The God of War Prince of the Dadu Dynasty should be high-spirited and able to roam the world with his horse and sword, instead of like now..."

Dongfang Li didn't miss Nangong Xu's flash of disappointment just now, and quickly explained.

"I can't wait to hear Ah Li say this. If possible, I also hope that I can stay with Ah Li as a normal person..."

"Because Ah Li... deserves the best of everything in this world..."
