After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

After Princess Li finished speaking, she looked at her expression again, as if she was really curious about what Nangong Yuan was thinking.

But Nangong Yuan knew that Princess Li was not a fool.

It can be said that this person is very smart, even scheming. How could he say such offensive words for no reason?

So...what is her purpose?

No matter what the purpose is, it is ridiculous to Nangong Yuan.

"Princess, you are joking. My engagement with the Prime Minister has already been cancelled, so how can I say that I still have feelings for him? Besides, no one says that you should still hold a grudge against your ex after cancelling the engagement."

Princess Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly: "So, Nangong, have you really let it go?"

"Before, I was young and frivolous, so I caused trouble to the Prime Minister. However, now we have broken off the engagement for more than... almost a year. Why should the princess care about these things?"

"Don't be angry, Nangong. I just want to know your feelings. If you don't like the Prime Minister, what do you think of Prince Li?"

After hearing this, no matter how calm and collected Nangong Yuan was, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"what?"

"The prince is of noble status. Although he is older than you, he is more caring when he is older. If you are interested, I will definitely treat you like my own sister."

In response to this, Nangong Yuan closed her eyes helplessly.

Tao Zhu, who was standing by, twitched her mouth and wanted to spit at her.

Not to mention that Prince Li is already old, whether Nangong Yuan likes him or not is another matter. The most important thing is, how could the only legitimate daughter of General Nangong be his concubine?

Princess Li was the wife chosen for him by the Queen herself, so it is impossible for her to abdicate and let someone else take over.

So, she can only be a concubine.

Don’t you even look at what King Li is!

All he did all day was plotting and indulging himself in promiscuous affairs. Now, he doesn't even have a child.

Although no one knew whether there was something wrong with Princess Li or with Prince Li, no one would agree with this matter.

"Nangong, I also want to ask you what you think today."

In response, Nangong Yuan sighed: "Princess, the daughter of my Nangong family will never be a concubine."

The man paused and said nothing.

"I don't mean to offend my superiors, nor do I mean to be disrespectful to the princess. It is indeed the family motto. I am grateful for the princess's kindness."

She then said, "As for marriage, I will naturally let my parents decide. There is no need to say more about this."

"If that's the case, then I understand."

Princess Li was a smart person and didn't show any big expression when she heard that.

It seems that this is not something she wanted to ask voluntarily.

Nangong Yuan thought to herself, "She definitely doesn't want a woman from a prominent family to threaten her position. I heard that Prince Li has a lot of concubines, but I haven't heard of any of them being pregnant. Could it be that... Prince Li is not capable?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking it was possible.

So King Li has always liked to find a lot of women over the years. I'm afraid this is the problem.

The difficulty in having offspring can be said to be the most fatal flaw of the royal family.

If you want to be emperor, how can you not have descendants?

Prince Li has been acting more and more unscrupulously in recent years. Could it be that he knows he has no chance of getting the throne, so he's dragging others into it?

Nangong Yuan had a lot of thoughts in an instant.

She turned her head slightly and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Princess. I really did not mean that."

"It's okay. You are a good girl. It would be nice to marry a good family."

Princess Li smiled and talked to her for a while, and she didn't look worried.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yuan stayed for a while and then left.

As soon as she left, a person walked out from behind the screen.

"Oh, the women of the Nangong family will never be concubines? How dare you say such a thing? How ridiculous!"

The person who spoke was King Li.

Seeing this, Princess Li glanced at him and said, "Okay, if they don't want to, are you still going to take it by force?"

"Why not? If the king is willing, no one can stop him."

Princess Li was so angry that her face was ugly: "Wake up, Nangong Yuan is not from a small family. Her background is something that even the queen mother would be wary of."

"Besides, why do you insist on having her? Didn't the imperial physician say that it can be cured as long as you take the medicine properly?"

Prince Li sneered: "She is just a plaything. I want her if I want her. Why are you making such a fuss?"

He looked at Nangong Yuan's departing back, his expression as dangerous and evil as a snake lurking in the dark.

"Okay, if you want to do it then go by yourself and don't look for me next time!"

Princess Li was also the daughter of a wealthy family. It was annoying enough that he pushed her out to talk to the little girl about these things.

Now, looking at the sinister appearance of King Li, she hated him even more.

Why did you choose him in the first place?

"It's just a few words. If you can't do that, what else can you do?"

Princess Li was so angry that her face turned ugly: "The prince also heard that she doesn't want to marry you, let alone be a concubine."

"Then give her the position of legal wife. I don't believe she won't agree!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Li's face turned pale: "You want to divorce me?"

"Oh, let's talk about it later."

King Li was too lazy to argue with her, so he turned around and walked out.

Seeing this, Princess Li clenched her fingers in anger: "Okay, okay, I am really blind, and so is Dad. How could I think you could really be good to me?"

Nangong Yuan, who left, had no idea about this episode, but she was very confused.

Why is King Li going crazy for no reason?

"That's weird."

Tao Zhu was indignant: "Prince Li is really something, does he still think he is so popular? He can actually say that he wants the young lady to be his concubine!"

"So what, Your Majesty? Anyway, you are now disliked and out of favor, how dare you say these things!"

She lowered her voice and couldn't help cursing.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't succeed."

"They shouldn't even think about it. If the general knew about this, he would be furious."

Nangong Yuan paused and said, "That's not important. What matters is, why did he suddenly think of this?"

She was totally bewildered.

"Who knows? Could it be that he is coveting the young lady's beauty?"

Tao Zhu looked at Nangong Yuan. She looked really good today. No wonder King Li had a seizure.

“Not really…”

But Nangong Yuan thought of the beautiful women around Prince Li and said with a headache, "Oh, really."

She pinched her brows and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's go back first."

"Ah."

Not many people knew about this matter, except Nangong Yuan, Tao Zhu, and Princess Li.

But the strange feeling in Nangong Yuan's heart kept lingering.

She always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

“Am I overthinking it? King Li… King Li’s fate was just to die in that struggle for imperial power. It doesn’t seem like anything special.”
