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

Therefore, Nangong Yuan never cares whether the other person is a good person or a bad person.

She only cares about the position.

Whatever position you are in, that’s what you should do.

As for the consequences, you should bear them yourself.

Isn't it the same for her now?

From the Nangong family's perspective, this was a very cost-effective deal, so Nangong Yuan did it without hesitation.

And he also gave Xiao Heyun benefits.

After all, she knew what she wanted.

"A Yuan is right. Shen Jing has been promoted by His Majesty himself. He will have a promising future. It will be beneficial for us to be on good terms with him."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Yes, it's always good to leave a way out."

"By the way, the first person to speak today was the Minister of Revenue. This man... I remember that he was very upright and only served His Majesty."

"He is loyal to His Majesty, but have you forgotten, brother? He is the cousin of the Night King's mother and is closer to the Night King."

Hearing this, Nangong Jin began to think.

"That's interesting."

"Yes, otherwise how could the Night King stand out in a military camp full of crises? The Ministry of Revenue is a good place, with plenty of connections."

Back then, he naturally had people protecting him, otherwise how could he not die in such a cruel court struggle?

The emperor is a vicious and intolerant person, so he will not keep Xiao Heyun for long.

“Alas, Your Majesty sounds like a noble person, but the suffering he endures is probably hard to describe.”

Nangong Yuan said, "Prince Li is the legitimate son of the Empress, and he has the support of the Empress, so he has never suffered any loss. Prince Ye's mother died early, and no one cared about him when he was raised in the palace. But now, Prince Li is being abandoned, and Prince Ye is back, and it is still unknown whether he will live or die."

The two sides have been fighting for so many years, who will be the winner?

"A Yuan, have you...really decided to help Xiao Heyun?"

Nangong Yuan looked at him: "Why do you say that, brother?"

"Although he is powerful, he cannot stand up. Moreover, His Majesty will not allow a disabled person to ascend to the throne of the crown prince."

Seeing this, Nangong Yuan said, "I have my own plan for this matter, don't worry, brother."

"I'm just a little worried. You haven't had any contact with this group of men since you were a child. I'm afraid you've been deceived."

Nangong Yuan laughed so hard upon hearing this: "Brother, look at me now, who has the ability to fool you? Besides, if you want to fool me, I will be the one willing to be fooled."

She has never had any idea of ​​being humble.

So, Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Yes, you are so smart, they must be capable if they want to cheat you."

But Xiao Heyun is a real capable person.

His ability can be seen from the fact that he has lived in the deep palace for such a long time.

If it were someone else, he would have died countless times already.

"Hey, don't blame me for talking too much, I'm just worried."

Nangong Yuan sighed: "Okay, then I won't say anything, brother, just watch what I do."

She doesn't spend too much time trying to convince others, she just wants to move forward.

The moment they understood his intentions, they knew that Nangong Yuan had always been just Nangong Yuan.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see."

As the two were talking, Mrs. Shen and others arrived.

"Everyone, sit down and eat."

General Nangong has been idle at home these days, and apart from paying a visit to the emperor, he has rarely gone out.

The rest of the matters were left to the general to handle.

But there are many people visiting these days, so he will go out to accompany the guests.

The Nangong family lived in harmony and peace, and no dirty deeds had ever been heard of.

This made some people who were having a hard time very jealous, and they would come to ridicule Mrs. Shen from time to time.

But unfortunately...General Nangong is here.

He is not a straight man. If anyone ridicules his wife, he will ridicule back.

"Mother, drink the soup."

Nangong Yuan handed her the pork rib soup and said, "It's been too cold these days, and mother doesn't look very well."

"It's OK, I just went to bed late at night."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan paused, feeling a little embarrassed.

Of course the couple had a lot to talk about that night. No wonder my mother had some dark circles under her eyes.

I must have not slept well.

She blinked and took a bite of the sweet and sour pork.

"A Yuan, I heard from your brother that you advocated saving Shen Jingyi?"

Nangong Yuan nodded: "This person is useful. If there is anything, the Minister of War will be there. In the future, when you and your brother are at the border, at least there will be someone available in the rear."

"You did a good job on this matter, but you don't have to get involved next time. It would be very dangerous to get involved in the court struggle."

General Nangong has always been very tough in the training of his children.

But he did not advocate that Nangong Yuan get involved in these matters.

"Father, if I do it, they won't expect it. If someone else goes, they will only be suspected."

In the eyes of others, a girl who never goes out of the house certainly doesn't have the ability to do these things.

"I understand what you mean, but A Yuan, the court is too dangerous. I just want you to be safe."

Nangong Yuan said, "But if I don't do it, no one else will. You and your brother will be going back to the border after the New Year, and then mother and I will be left at home. How can I just sit back and do nothing if something happens?"

She wanted to make it up to her family, so her feelings were sincere.

"Besides, I'm just doing what I can, so don't say anything more, father."

Hearing this, General Nangong sighed.

"You have exactly the same stubborn personality as your mother."

"What? I followed you, look at your temper."

Nangong Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Okay, okay, she's my daughter anyway, just spoil her."

Nangong Jin on the side patted her head and almost flattened Nangong Yuan's hair.

She glared at him.

"A Yuan, wait until I come back, and I will take care of these things."

Nangong Yuan said: "But when will the Hongzhou incident end?"

Now that the Xisha Islands are eyeing us covetously, it is not easy to resolve the issue.

General Nangong did not dwell on this and discussed the issue of attacking the Paracel Islands with his son and daughter.

After hearing about the situation, Nangong Yuan felt that it was indeed tricky.

The Xisha Islands can cross mountains and rivers to provoke us, but the road here is not smooth and it is difficult to resist.

So after arriving there, General Nangong chose to build city walls and increase patrols.

However, this is not an easy task. Too many people in Hongzhou had been killed by Yu Chengye before, so there are very few people who can do the work.

Even with the elderly, the weak, women and children all joining in, the efficiency is not high.

"This is indeed a big problem. It would be great if we could bring in people from various states and sort them according to their household land and houses."

"The situation on the border is dangerous now, and no one would want to come. This method can only be used after the war." Nangong Jin knew the border very well, so he saw blood in a flash.

Nangong Yuan nodded: "It is indeed troublesome, is there any other solution in the court?"

"It's under discussion, but there's no result yet."

The meal was eaten very slowly, but a lot of conversation was done.
