Nangong Yuan went to court and went on duty as usual.

The negotiations in Kyoto did not go smoothly, with both sides holding different views.

Although the emperor took the initiative, he was somewhat anxious because he could not defeat the opponent.

It's not a solution to drag it on like this.

However, Nangong Yuan could see that this old fox Ding Ran must be trying to delay time to achieve some purpose.

As for what exactly he wants to do, there is no clue yet.

But Nangong Yuan could almost guess that it would only cause trouble for Dajing.

She seemed to not care at all and just ate, drank and had fun at home after court.

Mrs. Shen seemed very happy to see her like this.

Except for one thing, that is, Nangong Yuan may never be able to get married in this life.

She is now of noble status and holds military power, so it is almost impossible for her to find a man of equal status.

This is good, Mrs. Shen later comforted herself, it is a good thing that the child can stay with her for a long time.

Later, she gradually accepted this situation.

········

Not long after, Dalu asked someone to find Nangong Yuan.

She laughed quietly at the news.

"Girl, do you still see him?"

Nangong Yuan said: "Why not? What's his attitude now? Is he still so arrogant?"

"It's long gone. The assassination attempt that day scared him half to death and he was seriously injured at the time. How can he not feel scared when he thinks about it now?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan narrowed his eyes: "That's good. Death can teach him a lesson. At least it can make him face the reality and know whose territory this is."

"What the young lady said is true. Then... I will arrange a meeting tonight."

She waved her hand: "Okay, go ahead."

After saying this, the secret guard saluted and left.

Looking at his leaving figure, Nangong Yuan couldn't hide the mockery on her face.

It's really interesting that he compromised so quickly. I didn't expect him to do so. I thought he was a tough guy who could hold out for a few days.

I didn’t expect...that’s it?

Such a person like Dalu has no time to be arrogant.

He was seriously injured after being stabbed, and for a moment, he thought he was really going to die.

Fortunately, the secret guards rescued him in time, and the palace also sent imperial physicians to treat him, and they brought him back from the brink of death.

Dalu's mind became clearer at this time.

He knew that his life was actually worthless.

This is a fact. The head of a defeated general is not worth mentioning at all. If Ding Ran hadn't insisted on protecting him, he would have died long ago.

Is it his turn to shout here now?

So he thought about it for a long time, and finally begged everyone for permission to meet Nangong Yuan.

········

Lying in the dark cell, he felt somewhat desperate.

He couldn't help but curse Nangong Yuan, the beast, in his heart, but even if he said it until his mouth was hoarse, what was coming would come back, and nothing seemed to have changed.

······

When Nangong Yuan arrived, it was already midnight.

She walked briskly and sat down on a chair outside the door, looking very cold and stern.

"You called me here, what's the matter?"

Dalu was half leaning against the wall. There was a penetrating wound on his abdomen, which had just scabbed over. It hurt excruciatingly when he moved.

Since he was a prisoner of war, the people in the prison did not take good care of him, so he had an extremely difficult time during those days.

There was no bath water, and the wounds were only changed once a day.

In such a summer day, when people sweat, the wounds are corroded and it hurts especially.

But no one cared about him, as if they were just leaving him to fend for himself.

The threat of death began to scare him.

So I decided to bow my head.

"Don't you want to know who instigated Chen Yunshan?"

Nangong Yuan couldn't deny it, but didn't say much.

She wanted Da Lu to know who was the master now and who held the initiative.

"Although I have never met that person, I have exchanged letters with him several times in the past."

Speaking of this, Nangong Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he seemed to be interested.

"You...you find a doctor for me and move me to a better cell to recuperate, and I will give you the letter."

Nangong Yuan sneered: "A letter? We don't know if it has a seal, the content, or whether it is real. You asked me to give you a benefit, Dalu, do you think I'm a fool?"

She leaned back in her chair, her arms folded across her chest, her expression condescending and indifferent.

"What I said is true. There is the other party's private seal on it."

Nangong Yuan said: "I have searched for you on the way here, how come I can't find you? Moreover, there is no one around you to help you now, how can the letter be delivered to you?"

"I also have a few people in Kyoto who can be used. My confidants have kept the previous letters. If you want them, I will give them to you."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan sneered: "You may not know that the negotiations in Xisha are not going well. Who knows, they may go back soon."

"you are lying!"

Nangong Yuan said: "It's just the facts. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. It's none of my business anyway. If you dare to lie to me, think about whether you can keep your life in my hands."

Although she is such a beautiful woman, she always gives people an extremely dangerous feeling.

The careless killing intent and cruelty made it almost impossible to breathe.

The longer I faced her, the more I felt that her beauty was an invisible, murderous knife, terrifying.

Dalu took a deep breath, cold sweat dripping down his forehead: "Okay, I'll give it to you."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan said, "Come here, call a doctor and change the medicine for him."

"Yes."

Soon, the bailiff came in with a doctor and bandaged his wound carefully.

Nangong Yuan stood up and said, "Take him away."

Soon, someone carried him out on a stretcher.

This cell is a place that looks quite clean and tidy.

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Tell me where the letter is. Be honest. I can send you here or to the pigsty."

Seeing that she didn't look like she was joking, Dalu knew that she was really capable of doing this.

So he hurriedly said, "In Hanshanyuan, Kyoto, tell the doorman that I want a wheelbarrow flower from the distant mountains, and he will give you what you want."

Nangong Yuan waved her hand, and soon a secret guard came to take over.

"I'll wait here for the letter to arrive, and then we'll see if it's true."

After saying that, she sat on a stool nearby.

Dalu didn't expect that this person wouldn't go in person, but when she thought about it, was it really necessary for her to do this kind of thing in person?

"Playing tricks?"

Dalu said, "How could that be? Now that you have what you want, don't make it difficult for me."

"Okay."

She smiled and it looked like she had a very bright smile.

But with that smile, Dalu broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

This person... is becoming more and more evil.

It wasn't like this before, what went wrong?
