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

Nangong Yuan was tired from walking around, so she just found a place to sit.

But soon a servant asked her to leave.

"Girl, there's no ventilation here. Go to the room outside to rest."

Nangong Yuan took a look and thought that the interrogation inside would not be over in a short time, so she agreed.

·······

When Xiao Heyun came back, she had already fallen asleep leaning against the bed.

The sun was shining brightly outside and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose. She looked a little hot.

Xiao Heyun took a few steps forward and fanned her with the fan beside him.

After running around outside last night, she was so tired that she fell asleep.

Thinking of this, Xiao Heyun sighed.

If I had known earlier, I should have let her go back first and handle these things herself. What should I do if I always tire her out?

Although he knew that Nangong Yuan was not a delicate girl, he still couldn't help but feel distressed for her.

After a while, she opened her eyes blearily.

"You came?"

Her voice is soft and she looks so cute when she blinks her eyes.

"Well, if you're tired, sleep a little longer."

Nangong Yuan shook her head and sat up from the couch, but she still looked a little dizzy.

So Xiao Heyun hugged her in his arms and patted her shoulders: "It's okay, if you wake up, you can go to eat later."

"Has the trial concluded?"

Xiao Heyun said: "There is a teacher among them, who is his trusted aide. This person is very stubborn and refuses to speak."

"What about the others?"

"He has confessed almost everything he should have confessed. I have also locked up the Xisha people. I will deal him a fatal blow when the time comes."

Nangong Yuan leaned on his shoulder and wanted to say something, but found that nothing came to her mind, so she nodded disappointedly.

"what happened?"

She sighed and said, "King Li is really energetic. He has bribed people everywhere."

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The power left behind when the Queen's mother's family was not overthrown should not be underestimated."

After all, he was a son who was trained as the crown prince since childhood, and both the queen and her mother's family attached great importance to him.

As a result, King Li never encountered any setbacks in the first half of his life.

He lived to be thirty years old before he encountered some trouble.

If it weren't for Xiao Heyun and Nangong Yuan, he could have become a foolish monarch, which would have been what he wished for.

Unfortunately... there is no such thing as "if" in the world.

"Too."

After Nangong Yuan said this, she felt a little sorry for Xiao Heyun.

He has come step by step from his childhood to now, and finally caught up with the other party.

His mother's family was of no help at all, and his father never cared about him.

Everything he has today was achieved bit by bit through his own hard work.

The fact that Nangong Yuan was able to stand by his side was indeed due to the influence of her family.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to obtain the military power that King Li dreamed of so easily.

Thinking about it this way, I am still lucky enough.

"how?"

Nangong Yuan raised her head and placed her lips on his cheek: "I just feel sorry for you. If you had the support of your mother clan, you would have killed him long ago. Why would you lie dormant until now?"

"I have accepted that I have nothing. I was unwilling to accept it before, but I don't feel that way now. If I lost everything just to meet you, then all this pain is meaningful."

His words were so sincere that Nangong Yuan couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry, Yuan. I can't bear to see you sad."

So Nangong Yuan blinked and said, "Okay, I'm not sad."

She stretched out her arms and hugged him, as if trying to warm his cold heart with her body temperature.

·······

Xiao Heyun patted her on the back, and the two of them just sat there quietly, as if time had stopped.

"It's almost noon, let's eat something first."

Nangong Yuan nodded.

The two of them had their meal in the flower hall next door.

Not long after, the secret guard came in to report that something had happened in the Ministry of Justice.

"how?"

"It is said that a previous case was wrongly convicted and needs to be re-examined."

Xiao Heyun wiped his hands with a handkerchief, his expression very calm: "Did King Li do it?"

"It seems that he took action as soon as he had doubts. This guy is more capable of causing trouble than I thought."

Xiao Heyun said: "It's okay, it's just a little trick, it can't make me admit defeat."

"So you're going now?"

Xiao Heyun nodded: "I will take you home first, and then go to the Ministry of Justice."

"It's okay, I can go back by myself."

"No, the King of Li is desperate now. I will send you back in person before I feel at ease."

Although she knew that King Li's men posed no threat to her, Xiao Heyun remained cautious.

When it comes to her affairs, no matter how small, you must be cautious.

"Ok."

Nangong Yuan couldn't refuse, so she had to get on the carriage with him.

But seeing that Xiao Heyun was still in good spirits, she was still a little surprised.

"How come you haven't slept all night, but you still look so energetic?"

Xiao Heyun said: "I'm used to it. Besides, I practice martial arts frequently, so I won't be too tired."

"We can't keep doing this. What if we get tired?"

"Are you distressed?"

Nangong Yuan glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense and come back early in the evening."

"Got it, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

He kissed her lips before leaving and turned away.

After returning home, Nangong Yuan changed out of her court clothes and rested on the recliner.

Although he came back to investigate the case and deal with King Li.

But she seemed to have done very little, as Xiao Heyun had already handled everything that could be done.

This left Nangong Yuan speechless, but now it seemed that he was someone she could rely on.

"Hey, this won't do. Although the incident doesn't seem serious, we still have to be careful. Prince Li is unscrupulous and can do anything."

She was rocking back and forth on the lounge chair, fanning herself.

"Hmm... There is no movement in the Xisha negotiations now. Maybe they have reached some kind of agreement with King Li. I have to test it as soon as possible."

But now it seems that King Li may not refuse.

Thinking of this, she turned over.

"Peach Vermillion."

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"How is the situation at Xisha Post Station recently?"

Tao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "He is quite honest. Most of the people he met were ministers in the court. As for privately, he has also met a few people."

Nangong Yuan asked: "Who?"

"Um, the Minister of Rites, the Vice Minister of Rites, the Prince of Li, and a few others who are not well-known. Do you want to check them out, Miss?"

Nangong Yuan shook her head: "I just want to know whether King Li and Xisha have had any private negotiations."

"I don't know about that. Although there are people guarding the Xisha Islands, they are very cautious and will not say anything openly."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan said, "It seems that I still have to go and test it out."

If King Li really reaches an agreement with Xisha, then Dajing’s situation will be very dangerous.

Although the situation may not be too bad, it will still take some time overall.
