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

The emperor was extremely angry about this matter and asked Gu Zian and the Dali Temple Minister to investigate.

Nangong Yuan didn't know what happened afterwards.

But half a month later, a jaguar from the north broke the peace.

"The Sirius tribe was beaten back by the Northern Border generals. The news of their great victory in the first battle has been reported back."

Tao Zhu came back and told her the news, and then said, "Miss, why does this matter seem a little strange?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan said, "It is indeed strange, but if you think about it this way, it will be better."

She nodded her chin and said, "Every winter, countless cattle and sheep of the Tianlang tribe would starve to death, so most of them would choose to go to war in the fall to grab some food and supplies."

"But this time, the generals from the northern border stopped them, so they decided to go all out and directly assassinate Your Majesty."

Tao Zhu suddenly realized.

"Yes, if His Majesty dies, the situation in Kyoto will definitely be chaotic, and the border will also be unstable. Who knows, they might be able to break through the northern defense line and take root in Dajing."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "So they didn't hesitate to expose their assassins who had been hiding for many years, just for this day."

If Nangong Yuan hadn't reacted quickly at the time, this move might have really succeeded.

By then, if King Li wants to ascend to the throne, he might succeed.

In other words...the biggest beneficiary in this matter is King Li?

Nangong Yuan thought about this and suddenly stopped his fingers.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Seeing her in a trance, Tao Zhu was a little confused.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something. By the way, has the victory report been sent to the palace?"

Tao Zhu nodded: "Yes, and does Miss know who the commander this time is?"

"tell me the story."

"He is the first general under the Night King, Chu Jinyan."

Nangong Yuan pondered: "Oh, I've heard of this guy. He started out as an ordinary soldier and followed Xiao Heyun step by step to get to this position, right?"

"Yes, this man has a special friendship with the Night King. When the Night King returned to the capital, he asked to stay in the North."

Nangong Yuan propped up his chin and said, "It must be to preserve Xiao Heyun's military power. At least if he is not replaced, the army will not forget Xiao Heyun."

Everyone felt that the Night King would never come back.

He is already a useless man. Not to mention wielding a sword and standing on a horse, he can't even walk. What else can he do?

But Nangong Yuan knew that he would come back sooner or later.

He will take back what is his and avenge himself.

"Yes, I have to say that the Night King is very resourceful. His Majesty will definitely reward us for this great victory in the North."

Nangong Yuan paused and said, "That's great, but I don't know what he wants."

This matter spread quickly and the situation in the North has already been dealt with.

Moreover, His Majesty is not injured in Kyoto and everything is very peaceful.

Gu Zian investigated the matter thoroughly and was praised.

Everything seems to be going in the right direction.

Nangong Yuan also received some rewards, and the emperor even summoned her specially.

"Your humble servant Nangong Yuan pays respect to His Majesty. May Your Majesty be well and safe."

The emperor sat on the high platform and waved his hand: "Get up, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nangong Yuan entered the palace in gorgeous attire and stood up upon hearing the words.

The emperor asked her to sit down and said a few words to her.

"You saved me in time last time, but I didn't have time to reward you. What do you want?"

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "It is my duty to protect your majesty. I really don't need any reward."

"That won't do. I am the emperor. Just tell me what you want and I will definitely agree to it."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan began to think: "I really don't have anything I want. I can't think of it at the moment. Your Majesty may have kept this request. When I think of it, can I ask Your Majesty for it?"

The little girl in the audience was very calm and composed, and was not at all nervous in front of the emperor.

The emperor admired her very much, and thinking of her heroic appearance when she rode here last time, he smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nangong Yuan stood up and saluted.

She knew that the emperor wanted to reward her, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

However...she intends to keep this request.

If there is any problem with the Nangong family in the future, it would not be too much for her to ask the emperor for compensation.

"That day, you saved me with a knife, and I was very pleased, so I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a weapon for you. Do you like it?"

The eunuch at the side brought up a box.

"open to take a look."

Nangong Yuan stood up, opened the box, and saw a knife inside.

The blade is extremely smooth and the curvature is incredibly beautiful.

There was a silver light flowing on it, carrying a cold and sharp breath. A flying phoenix totem was engraved on the hilt, giving it a sense of nirvana.

"What a beautiful sword. I like it very much. Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said, "I asked someone to make it specially for you. It should be very suitable for you."

Nangong Yuan took out the long sword and touched it, and found that the sword was not as heavy as he had imagined.

"Your Majesty, does this sword have a name?"

"I haven't picked one yet. It was originally given to you. Pick one for yourself."

Nangong Yuan thought for a moment and said, let's call it "Nirvana."

Nirvana seems to be a Buddhist term, but when it comes to a knife, it has a different meaning.

Killing someone is also nirvana. It doesn’t matter who it is.

"You, little girl, are quite ambitious. I like it very much. Let's call it Nirvana."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Yes."

The emperor also said a few words, thanking her for saving the fifth prince.

"Although the Fifth Prince is young, his martial arts are quite good. If it weren't for his calmness and composure, we might not be able to make it in time."

The emperor was very pleased to hear this: "Among my sons, only he has been brave and resourceful since he was young, not bad."

"All the princes are outstanding, but this time it is really thanks to the Fifth Prince."

She did not take all the credit for herself, and thus made the emperor very happy.

Not only did he reward her with a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, he also wrote a plaque for her.

The words "heroic woman" were written on it.

Nangong Yuan looked a little happy, yet a little helpless.

After she brought the things back home, she was welcomed by everyone.

After this incident, the Nangong family became lively again.

There are quite a lot of people trying to win over, propose marriage, and just join in the fun.

"I'm sorry, mother. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't expect to attract so many people."

Mrs. Shen smiled: "You silly child, you did a good job, how could I blame you?"

"Really? Mother has always been so low-key. I thought you didn't like me to stand out."

Madam Shen said: "I don't like it, but you are a girl from the Nangong family, you have to have your own ideas anyway."

She would not stop or interfere, after all, everyone has their own choices and way of living.

How could someone like Nangong Yuan like to be left alone?

That was tantamount to tying her hands and feet.
