On the other side, Jiang Xue woke up and found that she was alone. She called her personal maid Fu Dong.

"Yun Che didn't come back last night?" she asked.

"Yes, Princess, the emperor has been busy in the imperial study all night and has not rested yet." Fu Dong answered while helping her tidy up her clothes and hair accessories.

The matter is very serious. After all, it involves the crown prince of a country and no negligence is allowed.

Over the past few decades, there have been only a few major events like the Ten-Nation Trial, and its complexity and details have inevitably sparked a lot of discussion.

"Go and find out the current situation." Jiang Xue ordered after she finished washing up.

As soon as Fu Dong left, Lu Linyi and the ninth princess Xiao Gui came to visit.

"Cousin, ninth sister." Seeing them, Jiang Xue relaxed a little and invited them to sit down.

"How come you have time to come to the palace today?" she asked as she asked the maid to serve tea to the two of them while she sat opposite them.

"There was such a big commotion yesterday that Lin Yuan and General Nan didn't come back all night. Ling Yi and I were really worried, so we came to take a look."

Xiao Gui said with a worried look on his face: "Sister Changle, what's the situation now?"

"It's not clear yet. As you know, the Ten-National Trial is no small matter. The interests involved are too complicated to be sorted out in a short time.

If there is any unpleasantness, there may be a dispute between the two countries. "Jiang Xue shook her head, looking a little helpless.

"When I came this morning, I saw the Feng family carrying a large box to Cheng Yuanhe Daying's house. I don't know what was inside. I heard some noises coming from the box when I passed by."

Lu Linyi inadvertently mentioned a scene he saw on the road, perhaps to ease his anxiety while waiting for news from Nan Jingxing.

Jiang Xue's heart moved after hearing this, and she immediately ordered the little girl beside her: "Go and ask Miss Yu to come over."

"What instructions does the Queen have?" the little girl asked respectfully.

"Please ask Miss Yu to come over."

Jiang Xue was unable to act personally, so she could only ask Yu Prajna for help.

Soon, Yu Prajna followed the little girl here, and Nangong Yue followed behind, calling out in a flattering manner: "Prajna, wait for me!"

His voice with a change of tone made Jiang Xue couldn't help laughing, and the originally serious atmosphere was relaxed a lot. Xiao Gui and Lu Linyi were also amused, and smiled at each other, looking at the man who was following Yu Prajna at the door with an obsessed expression.

"Speak nicely."

Yu Prajna's eyes flashed with disdain, and she tried to push him away with her hands, but Nangong Yue was like a sticky candy, and she couldn't get rid of it. Instead, she got closer and closer. This level of clinginess was even worse than before!

After trying several times, Yu Banru simply gave up resisting and let him pull her, then said apologetically to the three women, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

"It's ok."

Jiang Xue stroked her forehead and smiled, "We're used to it."

Ever since Nangong Yue returned to normal, he often felt guilty for the excessive behavior he had done to Prajna under the manipulation of the little ghost.

To make up for it, he cared about Prajna much more than before.

Recently, Prajna often complained that Nangong Yue was too dependent on her, and even couldn't do without her in her daily life. If Prajna hadn't lost her temper once, Nangong Yue would probably follow her even to the toilet.

"He is now like a child who cannot leave his mother."

When Prajna complained, although there was a hint of helplessness in her expression, there was a hint of sweetness and doting in her eyes.

When Jiang Xue came to ask Prajna for help, Nangong Yue joked: "Crazy girl, what do you want from my wife?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xue responded unyieldingly: "You feel so intimate, so when do you plan to officially marry Prajna?"

Nangong Yue smiled innocently and replied, "As long as Prajna agrees, I can do it anytime."

Nangong Yue looked nothing like the usually shrewd leader of the Shuoyue Sect. In Jiang Xue's eyes, he looked more like a simple and foolish boy.

Yu Prajna gently pushed Nangong Yue, her face flushed, and said, "Stop messing around, Jiang Xue has something serious to discuss."

Jiang Xue explained her purpose. It turned out that she wanted Prajna to go to Chengyuan and Daying's envoy's residence to see if there were any of her men hiding there. Yu Prajna frowned after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, she agreed to help.

"It seems that these envoys are not afraid of causing trouble."

Yu Banruo took the jade token symbolizing the identity of the Queen of Beiling handed to her by Jiang Xue, and promised to find a man named Qiu Qianhuan and ensure his safety.

Nangong Yue said she wanted to go with him, too, for a simple reason: "I want to be with you all the time."

Looking at the intimacy between the two, Lu Linyi couldn't help but feel envious.

It would be great if Nan Jingxing could be half as enthusiastic as Nangong Yue.

Although he really cared for Lu Linyi, saying "I like you" seemed harder than climbing to the sky for Nan Jingxing.

How Lu Linyi wished that his beloved could express his feelings as honestly as Nangong Yue.

Thinking about this, Lu Linyi couldn't help but say, "Your relationship is really enviable!"

"Ms. Lu, stop joking." Yu Prajna smiled politely, then pulled Nangong Yue out of the room.

Looking at the backs of Yu Banruo and Nangong Yue leaving, Jiang Xue showed a relieved smile on her face, and then she turned around and asked Lu Linyi: "Cousin, how are things going with General Nan recently?"

Come to think of it, I haven't cared about Lu Linyi and Nan Jingxing for a while.

In the past, Nan Jingxing always said that the most important thing now was to revitalize the Nan family, and personal relationships could be put aside for the time being.

Today, the old aristocracy has collapsed, and the Nan family has gradually regained its former glory thanks to Nan Jingxing's efforts. In less than a year, he has almost returned to his former status.

A few days ago, Yun Che mentioned that he wanted to arrange a marriage for Lu Linyi and General Nan. Thinking that his cousin was also at the age to get married, he might as well choose a good day to help them complete the marriage. This would also bring some happiness to his uncle.

Ever since the Marquis of Zhenbei was poisoned by Qu Shang, his physical condition has not fully recovered despite a long period of recuperation.

She tried many methods, but could only restore her uncle's mental state to the past. As for his ability to move, it was probably difficult to restore it to its original state.

However, my uncle was strong-willed and did not become depressed. He started to practice again, after all, he had practiced martial arts step by step in the past.

What he is most worried about now is not his own health, but the future of his only daughter, Lu Linyi. His cousin's mother died young, and it was his uncle who raised her with great difficulty.

Now that he is in poor health, he still needs Lu Linyi's careful care every day, and he feels full of guilt about it.

Yesterday he specially sent someone to discuss Lu Linyi's marriage with him, which happened to coincide with the idea of ​​Jiang Xue and his wife.

"Nan Jingxing is very good to me."

When Lu Linyi mentioned Nan Jingxing, her face immediately turned red. Jiang Xue and Xiao Gui smiled at each other when they saw her shy look.

"How is he so nice to you?" The two of them held their cheeks and looked at her curiously.
