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

Things are changing a lot in Kyoto these days.

First, the emperor put the fifth prince Xiao Weiye in charge of the Ministry of War, and then promoted a series of officials.

Everyone speculated that this was a plan to establish a crown prince.

It's a pity that the matter has not been concluded yet, so everyone can only discuss it privately.

"Cough cough."

Tao Zhu was a little worried and looked at Madam Shen: "Madam, drink some throat-soothing tea. Why is your cough still not healed?"

Madam Shen waved her hand: "It's just a cold, it will be fine soon."

"But it's no use coughing like this. I don't know if the doctor is here yet."

The doctors in the mansion couldn't do anything, but Tao Zhu was worried that something might go wrong because of the persistent coughing.

So I decided to look for other places to see if there are any better doctors.

Soon, someone outside came to announce that there was a guest.

"Who?"

The servant said, "Well, he is a doctor. He came here after hearing that we were seeking medical treatment."

"Hurry, hurry, please let them in."

Tao Zhu was very happy and spoke immediately.

Soon, a group of people came in.

"Your Highness the Night King?"

Mrs. Shen was a little surprised, but her expression remained unchanged and she asked him to sit down.

"I heard that Madam was ill, so I specially asked Madam Qingyi to come and check your pulse."

Madam Shen said, "Madam is a great doctor. I heard that she came here for the prince's leg disease. I just have some minor problems. Why would I need Madam Qingyi?"

Unexpectedly, Tao Zhu on the side had a dazed expression and looked at the man with a guilty look.

This made Xiao Heyun a little puzzled.

The little girl Tao Zhu looks very naive, but in fact she has a very strong temper and even dares to scold herself.

Why do you look so guilty now?

He was suspicious, but said nothing.

"Let Madam take your pulse first."

Madam Qingyi stepped forward to take a look and said, "This is a cough caused by the cold, it's not a big problem, but Madam has been depressed for a long time, so it caused some problems in the lungs. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to drink, but you still have to relax and don't worry too much."

"Thank you, Madam Qingyi."

Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded, thanked her, and invited them to stay for dinner.

The situation in Kyoto has been tense these days, so Xiao Heyun naturally came here secretly.

Since Nangong Yuan was not around, he felt it was his responsibility to protect her family.

Now his wife is the only one left here, Xiao Heyun is worried, so he came to take a look.

"Madam, go have some tea and some snacks first. I'll talk here."

Xiao Heyun sent the man away and asked, "What's the situation in the mansion these days?"

Mrs. Shen was a little confused.

"Tao Zhu, I want to ask you a question."

"what?"

Tao Zhu came back to his senses and said with a guilty conscience: "Your Majesty, I was distracted just now and didn't hear clearly."

"I said, how is the situation in the mansion now? Is there any problem?"

She shook her head like a rattle: "Everything is the same as before, no problem."

"That's good. A Yuan is not here. You have to take good care of the house to prevent any accidents."

Tao Zhu nodded: "I understand."

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen understood something.

The fact that Xiao Heyun was able to order the maidservants around Nangong Yuan around also meant that the relationship between the two was indeed very good.

Otherwise, given Nangong Yuan's personality, I don't think she would be someone who would bow her head.

The Night King, on the other hand, looked cold but was actually quite enthusiastic.

"Your Highness is very busy, so you don't have to worry about these little things in our family."

"How can family matters be considered trivial? Besides, Madam is alone now, and A Yuan will not be at ease at the border, so I came to take a look."

Xiao Heyun is very calm and composed when traveling. Apart from those flashy titles, he really looks like a good husband.

Mrs. Shen is somewhat critical of this.

So they invited him to have dinner.

·······

Xiao Heyun was not very enthusiastic at the dinner table, but he was polite and knew when to act.

This finally made Mrs. Shen somewhat satisfied.

Besides, she invited a doctor like Madam Qingyi to treat her, which showed her great thoughtfulness.

Everyone sat together and talked, and then Mrs. Shen spoke.

"The affairs of the court are complicated, Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

"Don't worry, ma'am. I will."

He is not proud of his status, nor does he act superior. He is very approachable.

This is how he takes care of people, no wonder Nangong Yuan likes him.

Mrs. Shen thought that she couldn't be too satisfied now and should wait and see.

········

"What's going on? Why didn't I know about Madam Qingyi's return?"

The secret guard shook his head: "This is the prince's business, so we dare not spread it."

"I can't keep it to myself. What if the young lady finds out?"

Tao Zhu felt very guilty because the young lady had repeatedly told her not to tell anyone about the previous incident.

"Well, the master probably won't blame me. Besides, this is a good thing."

Tao Zhu bit her lip: "I know."

But, if Madam Qingyi comes and talks to Xiao Heyun, wouldn’t the truth be revealed?

"Oh, what should I do? I still need to tell the young lady. There will definitely be problems when the time comes."

Just as Tao Zhu finished speaking, a voice came from behind him.

"what is the problem?"

"what!"

She was startled and turned around to see Xiao Heyun's handsome face.

"My Lord, you scared me to death."

Xiao Heyun was standing not far away, no wonder there was no sound, he walked over.

"You should just say there's something wrong with the lady. What happened?"

Tao Zhu rolled her eyes and said, "Uh, nothing, Your Majesty must have heard it wrong."

"How could that be? My ears are fine."

In response, Tao Zhu could only chuckle.

"I just heard it, Madam Qingyi, you know her."

Tao Zhu's smile froze: "Well, how could I not know such a great doctor?"

"But you seem to be very guilty. Do you have any connection with Madam Qingyi?"

"Of course not. I haven't even seen her."

"is it?"

Xiao Heyun raised his eyebrows, but still felt something was strange.

Then he suddenly had an idea and said, "But I already know the truth. Madam Qingyi told me that she left the city at night and never came here."

“Um, this… maybe, I’m not sure.”

"Tao Zhu, how long are you going to keep this secret from me? I already know."

Tao Zhu was stunned and said, "Ah? You already know everything. Did Madam Qingyi tell you?"

"really."

Xiao Heyun's heart sank heavily.

He thought of the small spot on his arm in Hongzhou, and the medicine Nangong Yuan gave him.

All this... was so obvious, why didn't I notice it at the time?

"Miss, you are doing this for the sake of your majesty. You are not hiding it on purpose."

Xiao Heyun said, "You guys pretended to be Madam Qing Yi back then, right?"

No wonder the person's veiled profile looked so familiar.

It turned out to be her?

Tao Zhu sighed and said in frustration: "The situation was urgent at the time. Madam Qingyi left Kyoto overnight, and we had no other choice."
