Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"We are just using our relationship. Your Majesty needs our Nangong family to help you stabilize the government. I need Your Majesty to put aside your prejudice against the Nangong Mansion."

Nangong Jingcheng looked at the snow falling outside, his eyes clear.

The woman standing next to him is the empress of Ye State, Zhuge Yanhuai.

"Mr. Feng invited me to have tea today just to say these words?"

Nangong Jingcheng turned his head to look at her and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty should also know that the prince of Nanjiang is not a simple person. You are still confident in keeping him in the palace. What is your purpose?"

"Since when have I ever allowed you to comment on my decisions?"

Although Zhuge Yanhuai was smiling, the smile was very faint and not even a hint of it reached his eyes.

She was able to get rid of Murong Beitang back then, so she is not afraid of the Prince of Southern Xinjiang this time. Nangong Jingcheng is just a puppet of her in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Does she really think she is secure in the throne?

"If Your Majesty is unwilling to listen to honest advice, then I will not say more here. There are many things to do in the harem. I will take my leave now."

Zhuge Yanhuai couldn't stand hearing him say such things in the first place, and now seeing him turning his face away from him, he was naturally angry and turned away in anger.

The two people originally wanted to sit down and have a calm and peaceful talk, but in the end they parted on bad terms, and not a single piece of the pastry on the table was touched.

Zhuge Yanhuai felt that he was already walking on thin ice on the throne, and now he had to be controlled by the Prime Minister's Office.

It was bad enough that he was restrained by the Murong family in the past, but now he has finally brought down the Murong Mansion and now has an additional prime minister.

Nangong Jingcheng naturally knew what she was thinking. If a king wanted to stay on the throne, he would have to pay an extremely painful price.

The way of a king has always been lonely.

After Zhuge Yanhuai left, Nangong Jingcheng quickly left the palace and went to the Bai family.

When Bai Ran heard that Nangong Jingcheng came to see her in person, she felt secretly happy, because after all, he had not forgotten her.

"I greet His Majesty the Lord Feng."

Because Nangong Jingcheng did not come out alone, he was followed by some people from the palace, who were the emperor's spies.

Bai Ran naturally wanted to do all these things for the sake of face, so he bowed and said.

Nangong Jingcheng glanced at Bai Ran indifferently, then looked around and winked at Bai Ran.

"All of you go down and prepare some refreshments to entertain the guests from the palace. Your Highness Feng Jun, if you have anything to discuss, you can go to the study with me."

Nangong Jingcheng nodded silently without saying a word. Bai Ran turned around and headed towards the study.

There is no need for the people behind to continue following.

"Bai Ran, have you found out everything about Wu Ma Xie?"

When they arrived at the study, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Nangong Jingcheng said this as soon as he opened his mouth.

"My Lord, when you wrote to me last time, I checked it out privately. This prince of Southern Xinjiang is indeed not an ordinary person, just as you expected."

"Oh? What's his motive?"

"I guess he probably wants the Ye Kingdom."

Bai Ran spoke very bluntly. After all, there was no need to beat around the bush. This prince of Southern Xinjiang was indeed not as weak as he appeared to be. It was said that he had met Murong Beitang on the battlefield before.

"He is all alone and wants to kill the emperor? He really doesn't know his own limitations."

Nangong Jingcheng just finished saying this, and seemed to remember something. He turned around and looked at Bai Ran, frowned, and asked: "He dared to break into the palace alone, could it be that someone had already supported him from inside?"

"Your guess is correct, but the man has not been found yet. I am afraid it will take some time. In order to prevent him from having the opportunity to attack Your Majesty, you can only stay in the palace these days and pay more attention. Be careful about everything."

"I see."

Nangong Jingcheng's eyes became extremely complicated. He originally thought that he was just a puppet in the palace, but he never thought that now everyone really wanted the emperor's life.

If the emperor died in the palace for no reason, it would probably cause some trouble.
