After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

Nan Yuan walked forward, turned around and looked at Nan Jiamu provocatively, saying silently: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll deal with you."

"It's not fair!" Nan Jiamu laughed and shouted at Nan's mother, and quickly ran forward to hold Nan's mother's other hand: "Mom, you didn't say that when I first came back."

"How come you are more spoiled than your sister?" Nan's mother said in a reproachful tone.

“That’s right…” Nan Yuan came close to Nan’s mother and looked at Nan Jiamu with a smile: “How about I be the elder sister and you be the younger brother, I promise not to bully you.”

Before Nan Jiamu could say anything, he saw someone coming outside the door.

"Xuanjia family's deputy general Nan Jiamu, listen to my orders!" A shrill voice came from outside the door.

Father Nan had knelt on the ground without him noticing and gave Nan Jiamu a wink.

Nan Jiamu let go of Nan's mother's hand and walked quickly forward to receive the order.

"I'm here." Nan Jiamu immediately knelt down and responded.

Nan's mother and Nan Yuan also knelt behind Nan Jiamu.

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, declares:

Since ancient times, loyal officials and righteous men have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for our country and made remarkable achievements. Today, there is Nan Jiamu, the deputy general of the Black Armor Army, who is both wise and brave, and has outstanding martial arts. In the suppression of the rebellion of the rebels, he charged into the battle line, led the troops, repeatedly frustrated the enemy's spirit, and finally led the rebels to surrender. His contribution to the country is very commendable to me.

General Nan Jiamu's bravery is truly my right hand and the pillar of the country. To commend his merits, I have decided to hold a banquet at Qingliang Terrace in half a month to welcome General Nan Jiamu and reward him according to his merits to highlight his merits and encourage the soldiers.

Admire this. "

After an imperial edict was issued, Nan Jiamu hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

But the people standing at the door did not leave. The leading eunuch smiled with wrinkles all over his face. He looked at Nan's father and Nan Jiamu and said, "We would like to congratulate Doctor Nan and General Nan first."

"I don't deserve it." Father Nan said politely, and took out a bag of gold leaves and stuffed them into the eunuch's hand: "Eunuch, keep it for drinking."

The chief eunuch smiled so hard that his teeth were showing: "Okay, okay."

As he spoke, the chief eunuch looked at Nan Yuan again and said to Nan's father, "His Majesty has given an oral order to summon Miss Nan Yuan to the audience on the day of the banquet."

Upon hearing this, Father Nan's eyes became even more terrified. He quickly stuffed another bag of gold leaves into the eunuch's hand and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what is going on here?"

Xuan Moer knew the reason, as it was clearly written in the imperial edict, but he really had no idea why Xuan Yuaner did it.

The eunuch accepted the two bags of gold leaves with shining eyes, and replied with a smile: "The imperial doctor Nan has raised a pair of good children, and your blessings are still to come."

He didn't say it directly, but Nan's father understood that this would definitely not be a bad thing, so he breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully sent the person who announced the decree away.

"You brothers and sisters should go together tomorrow so that you can take care of each other." Father Nan looked at the two children and sighed with relief: "Dad doesn't ask you to be rich, but just live in peace."

"Don't worry, Dad." Nan Jiamu said as he ate, not as nervous as his father.

But Nan Yuan looked worried.

After dinner, Nan Yuan returned to her room but was still worried about the banquet tomorrow.

What Gu Jingheng said that day kept echoing in Nan Yuan's mind. He wanted to eradicate the major families, but didn't want to do it himself, so he wanted a knife that suits him best.

If her brother is rewarded too highly tomorrow, wouldn't that put him in dire straits and make him feared by everyone for no reason?

"What's wrong, Xiao Yuan'er?" Nan Jiamu brought some food and walked up to Nan Yuan: "You didn't eat well during the meal, are you worried about something?"

Nan Yuan saw Nan Jiamu coming and looked behind him.

"Don't worry, I've sent everyone out, and my parents have gone to bed. Now it's just you and me, so just talk about anything." Nan Jiamu smiled and patted Nan Yuan's shoulder, signaling her not to worry.

Nan Yuan lowered her eyes, and after a moment, she raised her head and looked at Nan Jiamu and said, "Brother, can you hand over the military power in your hands?"

Nan Jiamu frowned when he heard this. Why should he hand over the military token that he had obtained with great difficulty?

But he didn't get angry at Nan Yuan, because he knew that Nan Yuan was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason.

He looked at Nan Yuan's eyes and found them red and swollen. She must have cried. He just asked with concern: "Xiao Yuan'er, have you been wronged these days?"

She didn't cry when she was dealing with Gu Jingheng, and she didn't cry when she saw no hope for several days and nights. But just a word of concern from Nan Jiamu completely broke the tense string that Nan Yuan had been feeling for these days.

She threw herself on Nan Jiamu and cried bitterly, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered during this period of time.

Nan Jiamu consciously shut his mouth and didn't ask anything. He just patted Nan Yuan's back to help her calm down.

An unknown amount of time had passed, until Nan Yuan had almost stopped crying, before he asked, "Xiao Yuan'er, I know you wouldn't say these things for no reason. What did you know?"

Nan Yuan sniffed, raised her head and looked at Nan Jiamu and said, "Brother, I heard Gu Jingheng say that giving you the military token is a test. If you keep it with confidence, it means that you have a rebellious heart. The fate of the Li family will be our fate in the future."

"If you hand over the military token, he will continue to use you as a knife to eliminate the aristocratic families."

"Brother, I'm scared. I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Nan Jiamu patted Nan Yuan's back gently, but his eyes changed again and again, and his hands on the table clenched into fists.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything!"

"You've had a hard time these days."

No wonder Xiao Yuan'er suddenly caught a cold. I was worried all day long. It would be strange if nothing happened to her health!

"If you have any problems in the future, you don't have to handle them all by yourself. Tell your brother. Even if he can't handle it, we can still think of a solution together."

Nan Yuan wiped the tears from her cheeks and nodded heavily: "Yes."

"Then what should we do about this matter?" Nan Yuan asked, looking up.

Nan Jiamu took out the military token and placed it on the table: "Having the ability is wrong, and not having the ability is also wrong. This military token is like a death warrant on me, and I won't be better off if I hand it over."

Others only know that he was indebted to the Li family, and that he was able to join the army and earn military merits because of the Xuanjia Army, but they don't know how the Li family was treating him behind his back.

They would only think that he was a ruthless person who repaid kindness with enmity, and no one would dare to employ him.

If he handed over the military power, he would be ridiculed and mocked, which was not a big deal. He was really afraid that someone would attack him or his family and he would not be able to protect himself.

If he refuses, the prince will not tolerate him.

Nan Jiamu closed his eyes, and the fingers holding the military amulet turned slightly pale: "Tomorrow, I will have my own way."

"Okay, go to sleep and I'll take care of this matter." Nan Jiamu patted Nan Yuan's shoulder, turned around and walked out: "By the way, remember to eat something."

Nan Yuan saw Nan Jiamu's back and didn't know what he wanted to do, but from his tone it seemed that he already had a plan.

Nan Jiamu's problem has been resolved, so the only thing left is the matter between her and Gu Jingheng.

Nan Yuan closed her eyes and thought for a long time before finally making up her mind to cut the Gordian knot.

"Yue Ran!"

Nan Yuan handed the letter she had just written to Yue Ran: "Send it to Prince Xie's Mansion, and make sure it reaches Xie Luochen."
