The poetry reading ended in a dismal failure, with chaos reigning. However, Nangong Yuan, the culprit, showed no apology at all.

She got on the carriage back home and asked someone to protect Liu Qingyue.

"Miss, Wang Ruo is really reaping the fruits of her own actions this time."

Nangong Yuan had a very cold expression. For some reason, the worry between her brows grew heavier. Sometimes Tao Zhu felt that her coldness was a little strange.

"She wants to die, no one can stop her."

Originally, this plot would not have been so easy to unfold, it was Wang Ru who insisted on seeking death.

No one forced her or asked her to do anything.

"That's true, but now it seems that Miss Liu is in a dangerous situation. Now that I think about it, it was a good thing to break off the engagement with the Prime Minister."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan curled her lips: "Why do you say that?"

"While we were in Hongzhou, our opponents were strong but not so disgusting. Now that we are back in Kyoto, the inner court has taken more measures."

There is only one mistress in General Nangong's mansion, and he has no concubines or cousins.

Therefore, Tao Zhu had only heard about the dirty and despicable methods used in the inner chambers, but this was the first time he had seen it, and he was already disgusted.

"It's the same everywhere, it's just a matter of fighting over it."

Anyway, whether it is Wang Ruo or that group of rebellious bandits, their goal is to make a profit.

Wang Ruo likes Gu Zian, but she doesn't dare to deal with the prime minister, so she can only make trouble for others.

Nangong Yuan had been troubled by her before, but she didn't care about such petty tricks at all.

But when facing Liu Qingyue, Wang Ruo seemed like a different person.

This seems like a fight to the death.

"Could it be because I'm just a passerby and Qingyue is the heroine?"

"But Wang Ruo is really something. Why not do something good for no reason but hang himself on a tree?"

Nangong Yuan didn't regret it at all, she just felt strange.

"If you ask me, a young lady should be free and do whatever she wants, instead of being trapped in the inner house and fighting with these women."

In Tao Zhu's eyes, the young lady deserves better.

The status of the prime minister and prince is quite honorable, but so what?

Is the lady really that far off?

Gu Zian doesn't even know martial arts, he's just a powerless pretty boy, Nangong Yuan is more than enough to match him.

So what if Xiao Heyun is the Night King? Can a discarded prince be compared to the jewel in the crown of the Nangong family?

The young lady was willing to stay with them, but she felt it was not worth it for her.

If Nangong Yuan knew she was thinking this way, he would just smile bitterly.

She didn't want to do it, but she had to do it in order to complete the mission.

Everyone has selfish desires, and she is no exception.

If it wasn't for this, why would she fight so hard?

"Okay, let's not talk about this and go back first."

If news of today's incident gets out, Kyoto will be in chaos again.

Things happened earlier than Nangong Yuan expected.

········

The day Liu Qingyue left the Chi family, she encountered a group of assassins on the road.

These people are very good at martial arts, and they want to kill people as soon as they appear.

Liu Qingyue heard the noise in the carriage and immediately clenched the dagger in her hand.

"Quick, send Miss Liu back!"

Although the secret guards were highly skilled in martial arts, they were unable to withstand the crowd surrounding them.

For a moment, the scene was chaotic and bloody.

Liu Qingyue seized the opportunity and mounted the horse: "Go!"

"She ran away, chase her!"

···········

In the night, a strong smell of blood filled the air.

Liu Qingyue grabbed the horse's mane tightly, looking extremely ugly.

"Damn it, who did it!"

Many people's faces flashed through her mind at once, but she was at a loss as to what to do at the moment.

"drive!"

The killer behind him is still chasing him relentlessly, determined to kill him.

Liu Qingyue rode a horse for a long distance and fell off the horse due to exhaustion.

But the pain she had imagined did not come, and she was held in someone's arms.

"Qingyue!"

The voice startled her: "Why are you here?"

"Let's not talk about this, let's go first."

Gu Zian held her in his arms and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion in the night.

···············

Some people couldn't sleep that night.

It was already early the next morning when Nangong Yuan learned the news.

"There is still no news about Miss Liu. This is my fault."

The secret guard knelt on one knee, looking very humble.

But Nangong Yuan sighed: "Don't blame you, this is fate."

Even if Nangong Yuan changed the original plot, the result would not change.

What happened yesterday advanced the relationship between the male and female protagonists, and the plot changed from the initial calculation to assassination.

Nangong Yuan then realized that whatever the others did was useless.

"That is to say, even if we change the plot, the two of them will still be pushed towards the predetermined ending. This means... do we have the ability to change our fate?"

She took the initiative to contact Liu Qingyue, sent people to protect her, and secretly kept an eye on Gu Zian, all for this reason.

"Then I have a solution."

Nangong Yuan clenched her fingers, her eyes slightly red.

She originally thought that nothing she did could change her fate.

The predetermined ending for everyone in this book cannot be rewritten, which means she will die too.

But now it seems that things are not as certain as I thought.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Zhu saw that her eyes were slightly red, so he took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"It's okay, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask if Qingyue is there."

Tao Zhu nodded: "Yes, I'll go right away."

It was similar to what Nangong Yuan guessed.

Liu Qingyue was being chased by a killer last night and ran into Gu Zian as expected.

The man saved her, and the two of them naturally resolved their misunderstanding.

This is a good opportunity.

"Who did it?"

Tao Zhu said: "Wang Ruo, I heard that she was unwilling to be plotted against and thought that Miss Liu was the one who harmed her, so she planned to kill her."

"I see. She has gone mad."

Tao Zhu shook her head: "I don't know, but it's obvious that she doesn't think she's wrong."

Once this happens, Gu Zian will definitely not tolerate her.

He directly put pressure on the Wang family, saying that Wang Ru was not a good person and was not worthy of being a daughter.

So the Wang family had no choice but to marry her off quickly.

I heard that when the eldest daughter of the Wang family got married, few people attended the ceremony. If they were not relatives, this wedding would have been a joke.

It is really sad to see Wang Ruo, who has always been so arrogant, end up like this.

But those who know the inside story just think she deserves it.

If she had stopped immediately, no one would have held her accountable, but who knew she would be so reckless.

"Miss, should we still keep an eye on them?"

Nangong Yuan said: "Yes, but it doesn't have to be that urgent. Just tell me if there is anything important."

"Yes, Miss, you are tired these days, take a good rest."

Nangong Yuan nodded, covered her face with the book, and fell into a deep sleep in the slightly cool autumn day.
