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

The changes in the palace could not disturb Nangong Yuan.

She returned home with her father at dawn the next day.

"I was shocked when I heard the news they sent. I didn't dare to tell your mother so I rushed over. Fortunately, you are okay."

Nangong Yuan smiled and shook her head: "Father, don't worry. You asked me to practice martial arts since I was young, isn't it so that I can protect myself in critical moments? I know."

General Nangong was very pleased to see that his daughter had clear eyes and understood his painstaking efforts.

"You have been stubborn since you were young. I told you not to care about other people's lives, but you always fail to do so."

Tao Zhu poured tea for them and said, "General, the situation was critical at the time. We couldn't just stand by and watch."

General Nangong was not surprised by this. He educated his children in the best way, so how could he let them watch people killing each other?

"Forget it, I hope you are all right."

He was not harsh and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter was fine.

As we couldn't find them during the investigation, we took them away early in the morning.

Speaking of this, Nangong Yuan said: "I found this battle very strange."

General Nangong tilted his head to look at her: "Oh?"

"Although the assassins are fearless, their numbers are limited. Why would they attack the women?"

Seeing their carriage guards, he dared to kill people. Isn't this seeking death?

General Nangong was silent for a moment, then said, "It's all a struggle within the court, who knows what's going on?"

"It's about the Night King. I always feel like something is wrong."

Nangong Yuan asked: "After the Night King came back, where did his military power go?"

"The emperor sent Lord Shen to take over the Northern Frontier. The Changlan Army did not move, but it is useless."

Xiao Heyun's military achievements were earned through his own efforts, and his generals looked down on everyone except him.

There was news coming from Northern Xinjiang earlier that Lord Shen was contradicted by someone and was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Alas, the mastermind behind this has lost both his wife and his army. His efforts have all been in vain."

Nangong Yuan sighed. Almost no one benefited from this battle. Even the emperor felt uneasy sitting on his throne, let alone others.

"I think this group of people are unscrupulous and extremely cruel. I'm afraid you will be targeted after you saved Xiao Heyun this time."

But Nangong Yuan was afraid of being targeted.

She still has many questions that she wants to answer.

"Don't worry, father. The assassin only wants to kill the Night King. If they go after me, that would be putting the cart before the horse."

Now they are in a difficult situation and can hardly save themselves, so how can they have the energy to deal with Nangong Yuan?

By the time they pulled their hands away, she had already found a way to protect herself.

"That's not necessarily true. The struggle in the court is always a life-and-death struggle. Don't go out these days and stay at home."

Nangong Yuan did not refuse, but just nodded in agreement.

Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she felt tired and could hardly open her eyes.

When they were returning home, they ran into Mrs. Shen who was waiting for them and were scolded again.

"Where did you go to have fun again? You didn't even send me a message. You're really becoming more and more of a worry."

General Nangong on the side quickly pulled her aside and said, "Okay, okay, the child is frightened, let her have a good rest."

Only now did he dare to tell Mrs. Shen about the assassination case.

"How could this happen? You're not hurt, are you?"

Mrs. Shen was shocked when she heard this, and quickly pulled Nangong Yuan to check on her.

"I'm fine. I can kill a cow. Don't worry, mother."

Madam Shen said, "That's good, that's good."

"Everyone said I wouldn't go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet. How unlucky I am."

She complained, but in her heart she felt it was a good choice to go.

Otherwise, Xiao Heyun could not be saved.

That was her mission target, if he really died, she might as well die first.

The villain is not like the protagonist. He doesn’t have the golden finger and good luck.

"It's my fault, don't go next time."

Nangong Yuan quickly comforted her: "Don't be sad, mother. Who knew those assassins were so bold?"

She hugged him and acted coquettishly, and only then did she appease the angry and sad Mrs. Shen.

It was daybreak when it was all over.

She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She fell on the bed without washing her face and slept until the afternoon.

When Tao Zhu asked her to eat, she stayed in bed for a while.

"Miss, let's eat first. You've been busy all night, and you must be hungry."

Nangong Yuan got up, washed, sat at the table and stretched.

"How's the case going?"

"It's not bad. A few officials were killed and all those who were involved were exiled."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "That's great. If there weren't so many people there that day, we would have been in trouble."

"Humph, they deserve it. They are making such a fuss, what else are they doing but seeking death?"

Tao Zhu served her the food and the two of them sat down and started eating.

"By the way, Miss, I also found out something about the Night King."

Ever since she discovered that her young lady was particularly interested in the Night King, she would specifically ask him for information.

Nangong Yuan nodded and motioned for her to speak.

"Your Majesty let the Night King stay in the palace, sent the best imperial physician to treat his injuries, and even found craftsmen to repair the Night King's mansion."

Nangong Yuan paused when he heard this, and something flashed through his mind.

"is it?"

"Yes, the Night King has finally gotten his reward after all the hardship he has endured. His Majesty did not pursue the matter of him leaving the palace, but instead rewarded him."

Nangong Yuan took a bite of rice with a strange expression on his face.

"And what else? Nothing else?"

Tao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Well... In addition to this, there is also the fact that Prince Li has been neglected recently, and many of the officials he killed were his men."

She put together the bits and pieces of information she had heard and suddenly laughed.

"I see. I underestimated him."

"Miss, why are you laughing?"

Nangong Yuan narrowed her eyes and said, "I'm happy."

As she said this, she picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it into her mouth.

The things that I didn't understand before suddenly became clear to me.

It's very simple, all of this was planned by Xiao Heyun.

He knew that Princess Li was holding the Hundred Flowers Banquet in Huaishan, and he was also sure that the mastermind behind it would not let him go easily.

So he appeared in Huaishan as bait and led the assassin to King Li's villa.

The death and injury of female relatives will all be blamed on King Li.

The people who tried to assassinate him never expected that Xiao Heyun was so cruel that he would risk his own life to fight with the other party.

So, Xiao Heyun won as a matter of course.

Before, Nangong Yuan felt that there was no winner in this battle, but now it seems that the final winner is clearly here.

"It's a pity. Did you expect that you almost got killed?"

She shook her head helplessly, feeling surprised and mixed emotions.

"Miss, what have you calculated and what have you not calculated?"

Nangong Yuan patted her head: "Eat quickly."
