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

When Nangong Yuan returned to her residence, it was already late at night.

"Mother, I'm back."

Mrs. Shen was waiting anxiously. When she saw her enter the room, she immediately stood up and pulled her around to look around.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

She shook her head: "Don't worry, the martial arts training I've done these past few months was not in vain, I'm fine."

"That's good, that's good. I heard from Tao Zhu that you encountered an assassin. I'm glad you're okay."

Mrs. Shen pulled her to sit down, tears about to fall.

"Luckily you know martial arts, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened."

"Yes, father is right. Women must have some means of self-protection. Otherwise... I would have been in trouble a long time ago."

When Nangong Yuan was a child, his father taught them martial arts.

She was always inseparable from her brother and didn’t want to learn at that time because she was young, but she was glad for the decision later.

"You always stick out. I saw you riding in from there. You scared me to death."

Nangong Yuan sighed, "Your Majesty cannot die. The position of Crown Prince is now in jeopardy. If he dies, the next person to take the throne will definitely be Prince Li. Then our family will be in big trouble."

"A Yuan, be careful with your words!"

Nangong Yuan nodded: "I know, there is no one outside, they are all guards from the General's Mansion."

"That can't be nonsense."

Nangong Yuan said: "I am telling the truth. Your Majesty is a wise ruler and loves the Nangong family very much. It is better for us if he lives well."

"You...you little girl, I really can't control you."

Mrs. Shen swung her sleeves in anger, but was held back by Nangong Yuan.

"Don't be angry, mother. There are some things you have to know. Your daughter does all this for the good of the family."

Otherwise she wouldn't have come forward.

Nangong Yuan has always been very low-key in Kyoto, and it is not a good thing for her to be exposed to everyone by such an act of protecting the emperor.

What’s more...it’s such a big deal.

But she couldn't help it.

In summary, the emperor cannot die at this moment.

If he died, Kyoto would be in chaos, and King Li would take advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne, and no one would be able to stop him.

Even Xiao Heyun would lose the initiative.

By then, all their efforts would be in vain, which was not the result she wanted to see.

"Hey, you, like your father, have your own ideas, but I just can't help but worry."

Nangong Yuan held her hand and sighed: "I don't mean to stand out, but sometimes I have to."

If we don’t, more people will die.

In order to prevent the situation from becoming more chaotic and out of control, she had to stand up.

"Forget it, you're tired after a day, go wash up and rest first."

She nodded: "Mother too, I'll go wash first then."

Nangong Yuan washed up and changed her clothes before going out.

"By the way, where's Qingyue? Have you gotten any news about her?"

Tao Zhu changed her clothes and came over to say, "I found out that the Prime Minister saved Miss Liu and is already in the front hall discussing matters with His Majesty."

"That's good. She's not hurt, is she?"

"He said he was injured, and the imperial physician went to see him."

"I'll go take a look too." Nangong Yuan was a little worried, so he asked her to stay here and went out himself.

Since the women lived not far away, Nangong Yuan found them quickly.

"Qingyue, I heard you were injured?"

Liu Qingyue was lying on the bed. When she saw her come in, she sat up and said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"I'm glad you're okay. What happened today was too sudden. I didn't react in time."

Liu Qingyue sighed: "Are they coming for His Majesty?"

"It's very likely. The previous dynasty is investigating now. I don't know what the result will be."

Nangong Yuan poured her a glass of water and asked, "How did you run into them?"

"I went in late, and ended up getting lost and ran into them killing people. Luckily, Gu Zian was nearby, otherwise I would have lost my life."

He must have been heavily guarded, no wonder he was able to escape.

"It's good that everything is fine. Since they have checked, there will definitely be results. There is no need to worry."

"How about you, sister? I saw you go into the woods today as well."

Nangong Yuan sighed: "Don't mention it, I'm the most unlucky one. I saved the fifth prince when he was being assassinated. I felt something was wrong at the time, so I turned back immediately."

"It doesn't take long to turn back. You're just coming back now. Did you take a detour?"

She was indeed very smart and noticed something was wrong so quickly.

"Yes, we were chased by assassins, so we had to take a detour. Fortunately, we didn't waste any time."

"They are so bold as to assassinate His Majesty time and again."

Nangong Yuan said: "I can't figure it out either. There's no reason."

"Who knows? These people have wicked ambitions. Maybe they want to get promoted themselves."

Liu Qingyue was leaning against the head of the bed, wearing a white middle-length dress, and her face looked pale.

"I have some medicine here, take some."

Nangong Yuan took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to her.

"Thank you sister."

She ate one and held the bottle in her hand, saying, "The situation is changing rapidly. It seems we need to be more careful."

In this era, you have to try your best just to survive, let alone anything else.

Liu Qingyue was really unlucky this time, but fortunately she didn't die.

"Just take good care of your injuries and don't worry about the rest. I'm sure Gu Zian has already investigated and will be able to take revenge by then."

"That's secondary. The main thing is that I'm injured and I can't leave Yuehui Pavilion without someone. I'm a little worried."

Seeing this, Nangong Yuan asked, "What should we do? How about I go?"

"But new products need to be designed. Sister, let's talk about it when we have time. The situation is tense now, so let's wait and see."

Hearing this, she nodded in agreement.

Having said that, what happened today is really strange.

Nangong Yuan has been staring at people for so long, how come she hasn't noticed anything wrong?

"I'll ask someone to take care of Yuehui Pavilion. You should take care of your injuries for a few days. We'll talk about it when you're better."

"Don't worry, sister. I will take good care of myself. But I heard that there is an investigation outside. What is the situation?"

Nangong Yuan shook her head: "I don't know either, let's wait for more news."

The two sat together and talked for a while.

She didn't stay long and went back after knowing that Liu Qingyue was fine.

But at the same time, Xiao Weiye came to see her.

"Why did the Fifth Prince come out instead of recuperating from his injuries?"

"It's just a minor injury. I can handle it."

Nangong Yuan raised her eyebrows. As expected of the future monarch, he had such a great bearing and was also very tough.

"Your Highness, please take a seat."

"I'm here to express my gratitude. These small gifts are not a token of respect."

"Your Highness, why be so polite? It's just my job."

He shook his head and said, "I must repay a favor. This is my code of conduct. Please accept it, Miss Nangong."

"Then... I'd better obey your command respectfully."

Xiao Weiye insisted on thanking her, and Nangong Yuan accepted it without hesitation.

"Your Highness is seriously injured. You should rest. Otherwise, what should you do if you get sick?"

"This is a small matter. If I can't find the real culprit, my life will hang in the balance."
