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

Nangong Yuan moved very quickly.

After the first negotiation failed, she immediately took the initiative to approach King Li.

Of course, this reason is also very plausible.

Because Prince Li was in charge of the negotiations at the Ministry of Rites, and since Xisha was reluctant to agree, Nangong Yuan started a conversation with him.

"Your Highness Prince Li."

The man nodded slightly: "Mr. Ding'an."

"Xisha still doesn't want to agree to that condition?"

King Li nodded and said, "They said they couldn't afford so much, so they didn't agree."

"Oh, it turns out that Your Majesty is too kind, allowing these people to be fearless. In my opinion, it is better to teach them a lesson directly at the border and see if they can still remain calm when the enemy comes to their doorstep."

Nangong Yuan sounded unruly when she spoke, and even had an extremely powerful and sharp tone to her.

In response, King Li seemed a little impatient: "Ding'an Earl is wrong. We in Dajing are not able to fight another war now. It will cost us a lot of money and manpower, which is not a good thing."

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense, but we can't just sit there and watch Xisha drag on, right?"

Nangong Yuan seemed to be just interested in this matter, so she asked some very pertinent questions.

Originally, King Li didn't want to pay attention to her, but Nangong Yuan was the commander-in-chief of Hongzhou and the first person to promote the negotiations. If she wanted to inquire about this matter, no one else had the right to make her keep silent.

So, King Li sighed and said, "Take your time. Negotiations are something that should not be rushed."

"Your Highness is not aware of the tragic scene of corpses strewn all over Hongzhou, otherwise he would not have said so."

Nangong Yuan's tone was leisurely and sounded very sad.

Of course he didn't care. If he did, he wouldn't have colluded with foreign enemies and killed his father.

In response to this, Nangong Yuan used 100% of her willpower to restrain herself from killing King Li on impulse at this time.

Otherwise...she would have beaten this guy so badly that he wouldn't even recognize himself.

But now she needed some evidence, something that would be enough to stop him from getting up and make it impossible for him to be favored because of his clan heirs.

So Nangong Yuan lowered her head and put on a show in front of him.

"I understand. Don't worry, Earl Ding'an. I will do my best to resolve this matter."

Nangong Yuan said, "Your Majesty, I have spent a lot of effort to settle Hongzhou. I don't want it to be destroyed again. Thank you for your help."

"It's my job. Marquis Ding'an, please go slowly. I still have some things to deal with."

After saying this, King Li took his men away.

·······

Nangong Yuan looked at his back as he walked away, her clenched fingers creaking.

Others didn't know that she suppressed all her murderous intent and irrationality so that she could remain calm in front of King Li.

But this had exhausted her strength and made her extremely tired.

"King Li, just wait for me. Your head and life belong to me, so don't rush to die."

She looked at King Li as if she were looking at a dead person, and her overly cold expression scared the officials passing by.

"Mr. Ding'an, what's wrong with you?"

Nangong Yuan raised the corners of her lips, her expression softened: "Nothing, Lord Chen is leaving the court."

"Yeah, I'm leaving first."

After saying this, the man ran away in a hurry.

Nangong Yuan followed behind and returned home soon.

·······

Xiao Heyun came back early today. Seeing that she looked a little strange, he hugged her.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Nangong Yuan said: "I want to test King Li."

"But·········."

"I know it's dangerous and we might be discovered, but I can't wait any longer. Without substantial evidence, we can't bring him down." Nangong Yuan interrupted him in a calm voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Heyun sighed.

"You have a point. It's difficult to catch someone who has been at large for too long. If you want to go, I won't stop you."

Seeing this, Nangong Yuan leaned on his shoulder tiredly.

"Tell me, when can I do it?"

"soon."

“How fast is it?”

"As long as you want it, you will succeed. I will be by your side."

Xiao Heyun patted her shoulder, looking a little worried.

He had never seen Nangong Yuan look so helpless or even dead.

This person is always bright and cheerful, and particularly likes to joke. Sometimes his witty remarks make people feel particularly cute.

But at this moment, she was leaning on his shoulder, her expression was dead and indifferent.

Stripped of all her hatching and disguise, she looked incredibly pale.

"A Yuan, it's okay. Everything will pass. You will be able to do everything you want to do."

She rolled her eyes at him without saying anything.

Xiao Heyun placed a kiss and saw his own reflection in those eyes.

The reflection was desperate and stubborn, holding onto her hand and unwilling to let go.

"Are you afraid?"

Xiao Heyun was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid something will happen to you, Ayuan. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."

He knew that Nangong Yuan was a person with many secrets, but sometimes it didn't seem real.

Because she looked bright and cheerful, and didn't look like she was burdened with many secrets at all.

But... he noticed something from the repeated anomalies.

"If one day, I disappear from this world, what will you do?"

Xiao Heyun looked at her straight, his eyes filled with pain and sinisterness that were difficult to conceal.

"A Yuan, you want to leave me?"

"answer."

He paused and said, "If you disappear, then I will accompany you."

"Are you dumb?"

"I just feel that the world without you has no meaning."

He had no definite goal or dream a long time ago.

Now he has it, which is to stay with Nangong Yuan for the rest of his life.

Clear the obstacles for her and imagine the future.

If there was no Nangong Yuan in this world, it would be very boring to him. What is there to live for?

"What do you want me to say about you? You are a noble and high-ranking prince, what can't you do?"

Xiao Heyun said: "I have experienced all the ups and downs in the world, and I know the highest glory and the lowest failure. There is nothing special about it."

The pain will not be so intense, and the happiness will not be so strong.

But she is different.

“Obviously there is.”

"If you are one of them, yes."

Nangong Yuan sighed and closed her eyes tiredly.

She had wanted to give everyone a satisfactory explanation before, but now she just wanted to escape.

Would it be better to stay away from all this and not face him?

Xiao Heyun lowered his head and kissed her: "You are too tired, take a rest."

She didn't move, just closed her eyes.
