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

Nangong Yuan couldn't help but curl her lips and smile when she heard that.

"It's surprising that Your Highness can see it so clearly."

"Hehe, if I wasn't sober, I would have died long ago." Xiao Weiye also laughed, but his expression did not look very gentle.

Nangong Yuan invited him to sit down and said, "The Jinwu Guards have already gone to investigate. I believe there will be results soon. What do you plan to do, Your Highness?"

"Father will take care of it. I'm just assisting. But it's all thanks to Miss Nangong."

If Nangong Yuan hadn't come to his rescue, he would probably have died even if he had brought guards with him.

"Your Highness is blessed by heaven. Even if I don't take action, nothing will happen."

Xiao Weiye shook his head: "We are human after all, how can we have so much luck?"

He looked around again and said, "We don't know how many assassins there are, so don't sleep yet. Martial law."

"Yes, I know."

Nangong Yuan nodded, indicating that she understood.

After expressing his gratitude, Xiao Weiye got up and left.

It was inconvenient for him to stay for long, so Nangong Yuan sent him to the door.

Only after watching his back disappear into the darkness did Nangong Yuan turn around and go back.

But this scene fell into the eyes of one person.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that the Nangong family is planning to support the Fifth Prince?"

Prince Li just came over from the front and saw this scene, his expression was a little gloomy.

“Not necessarily, but Nangong Yuan...there is definitely something wrong with her.”

The guard at the side said sternly: "If that's the case, it would be better to kill her directly to avoid any more trouble."

Who knew that King Li sneered: "Are you stupid? Nangong Yuan is very skilled in martial arts. It's ridiculous that you didn't kill her but were killed by her instead."

"I am sorry for my words, but Your Majesty, we cannot just watch them form an alliance."

If these two groups come together, the possibility of King Li ascending to the throne will be equal to zero.

How can we accept that all the opportunities that we have been waiting for for so long are lost?

"Oh, don't worry, let's take it slow. I don't believe...they don't have any flaws."

King Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Nangong Yuan who turned and left. The murderous intent and sinisterness in his eyes could not be concealed.

At that time, he felt that Nangong Yuan was a nuisance.

He could have been a help to her, but who knew that Gu Zian would go crazy and actually want to break off the engagement with her.

Prince Li had lost the Nangong family's military power and was already in a precarious situation.

He felt insecure at the time, so he asked Yu Chengye to dig the iron ore.

Unfortunately, Yu Chengye wanted to work on his own and actually betrayed him.

This resulted in Prince Li losing more than he gained and even losing the emperor's favor.

The one who encircled and suppressed Yu Chengye and caused the Hongzhou incident to reach Kyoto was Nangong Jin.

"This Nangong family is really an eyesore."

He gnashed his teeth and hated her so much that he almost wanted to eat human flesh.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible now.

No one expected that Nangong Yuan’s martial arts skills were so high that he could actually protect Xiao Weiye and bring him back alive, and also protect the emperor.

This made the emperor treat Guang'an particularly well. Taking action at this time would be seeking death.

“Hiss… It doesn’t matter. I will always have a chance anyway. Nangong Yuan, you’d better… sleep with one eye open, otherwise, I will make sure you die without a burial place.”

Nangong Yuan took a few steps, felt a chill on her back, and sneezed.

"Ah!"

She rubbed her nose and said, "It's really getting cold."

The autumn night was cold and Nangong Yuan and the others stayed up all night without much sleep.

By the next day, the interrogation results were almost out.

"How is the result?"

Tao Zhu bit her lip and said, "The assassin is a barbarian from the northern border."

"What? But those people don't look like..."

Before she finished speaking, Nangong Yuan paused: "Could it be that they are all mixed-blood?"

"Miss, your guess is correct. These people are the children of the women abducted from Dajing. Most of them look similar to us, so they were sent here as assassins."

Nangong Yuan said: "It is true, no wonder I couldn't see it, but when we fought last night, I noticed that their strength was different from that of ordinary people."

"The northern barbarians are tall and strong, so this is not surprising."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan sighed: "But why would they want to assassinate Your Majesty for no reason? This is not an ordinary move."

"This has not been found out yet, maybe it will take some time."

"Have all the people in the Royal Guards been cleared out?"

Tao Zhu nodded: "All the problems that appeared on the surface have been dealt with. As for whether there are still problems in secret, no one knows."

This group of people look exactly like the people from Dajing. If they are deliberately disguising themselves, it would be difficult to detect them.

"What should we do? If this continues, Kyoto will always be in danger, especially Your Majesty."

"Don't worry about that. Your Majesty's Jinwu Guard has been established for many years, and many people know each other well. If someone sneaks in, it will be easy to detect."

Nangong Yuan paused and said, "Yes, then your Majesty's safety is guaranteed, but what about the Fifth Prince?"

"Your Majesty has sent people to protect him, and the Fifth Prince lives in the palace, which makes him much safer than the others."

"That's good...Anyway, nothing can happen at this time."

Tao Zhu had been up all night, and her eyes were a little dark: "Don't worry, Miss. If someone really kills us, we can't do anything."

"It's better to take precautions before they happen. How can an overturned nest keep its eggs intact? If your majesty dies, Xiao Weiye will not live either. Prince Li is not up to the task. If he becomes the emperor, everyone will benefit."

Tao Zhu quite agrees with this.

"That's true, but Prince Li has been very attentive these days. I heard that he was also assassinated last night, but was rescued."

"It's what he deserves. Why isn't he dead?"

Nangong Yuan's attitude towards him was completely different, and she was a little angry when she saw this.

"You looked so decent before, and you even asked me to marry you. Isn't this just a desperate move?"

"I'm afraid the incident in Hongzhou dealt him too much of a blow, causing him to lose a lot of manpower, which is why he resorted to this desperate measure."

Tao Zhu followed her and was very clear about the causes and consequences of many things.

What she said made sense. King Li did not have military power now.

If one wants to seize the throne, military power is very important.

“It’s possible, but I don’t think it’s that simple.”

When Nangong Yuan thought of King Li, she felt a chill in her heart.

She was not afraid, but she felt that the person hiding in the dark like a snake was too gloomy.

"Never mind that for now. Now that the crisis is resolved, let's have some breakfast. Madam hasn't woken up yet. I'll go call her."

Nangong Yuan said: "Okay, I'll go wash up."

She washed her face with water and finally felt a little more sober.

After calling Mrs. Shen to have breakfast, everyone went home.

This autumn hunt ended hastily because His Majesty was assassinated.
