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

"My Lord, it's late, please rest first."

Li Jin brought in some hot soup and sighed when he saw that he was still working at his desk.

Ever since returning from the Nangong family, the prince has been working harder and harder.

"It's okay. I'm not too tired yet. If you feel sleepy, go back and rest first."

Li Jin shook his head and put the hot soup next to him: "Things can't be dealt with in a short time, your health is more important, take your time."

Only then did the man put down his pen.

He had a handsome face, and the candlelight made his features appear less sharp, but Li Jin felt that he looked more dangerous this way.

Like an evil god hiding in the darkness, with an icy and murderous aura.

"Your Majesty is no longer restraining you, and there is much we can do."

Xiao Heyun asked, "How is the Northern Frontier?"

"The message has been sent. Lu Shi has taken charge of arresting and punishing the troublemakers. I don't think there will be any more trouble for a while."

After they returned to the capital, the troops in the northern border were in chaos.

This time the emperor sent Lord Shen, but the Lord Shen was unable to control that group of ruffians, so he suffered some losses.

He didn't tolerate it and directly reported the military incident to His Majesty, which put Xiao Heyun in a slightly embarrassing situation.

But fortunately, Lu Shi was there and was able to keep things under control.

"Let him stay out of the spotlight for now and avoid conflict with the Marquis."

Li Jin nodded: "Everything that needs to be said has been done, Your Majesty, just rest assured."

"The Changlan Army is now in the Eighth Battalion. Have you gone to see it?"

"The situation is quite good. The Changlan Army has made great achievements in the war, so they dare not make things difficult for us." He was worried when he talked about this. "Your Majesty, if this continues, the brothers' edge will be worn out."

Xiao Heyun curled his lips slightly. He was not smiling, so his expression seemed particularly cold: "It's not that easy. It's not that easy to be tamed after fighting on the battlefield."

He set an example and led this group of people to fight bravely against the enemy. He was respected and loved not because of anything else but because he was qualified.

"The sword is sharpened by grinding, and it will only become sharper and sharper, and will never rust."

Seeing that he didn't care, Li Jin became less worried.

"Fortunately, the prince's body recovered quickly and he is fine now, otherwise these days would have been really exhausting."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Heyun fell silent.

He drank the soup in one gulp and didn't say anything for a while.

Li Jin noticed that he was in a bad mood and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the leg..."

"That's not it."

"what?"

Xiao Heyun raised his eyes to look at him, and said word by word: "It has nothing to do with this. I have already prepared myself for not being able to stand up."

"Then, why does Your Majesty..." He looked a little unhappy.

Xiao Heyun subconsciously took the handkerchief to wipe his face, but stopped where he was.

"The color of this handkerchief is quite unique. I've never seen the prince use it before." Li Jin spoke straightforwardly and did not notice Xiao Heyun's slightly stiff expression.

The handkerchief was light blue and had a beautiful kite embroidered on it.

He hid it in his arms and it was soaked with body temperature, so it gave off a faint fragrance.

"You talk too much today, go out first."

Li Jin didn't know why he had angered him again, so he could only say awkwardly: "Your Majesty, please go to bed early and don't stay up all the time."

As soon as he left, the surroundings fell silent.

Xiao Heyun sat at the table, his figure stretched out by the candlelight.

He couldn't remember how many times he had waited for dawn in such a dark night.

The maids in the palace went to bed early, and after turning off the lights, the palace was pitch black, making people feel that a scary monster would jump out.

He felt scared when he was a child, but later he felt that such darkness was a kind of protection for him.

No one could see his expression in the darkness, all they knew was that he hadn't moved for a long time and had been silent all night.

········

Ten days later, the emperor ordered the Night King to inspect Qingzhou.

There is a lot of speculation about this news.

Some people said that His Majesty wanted to grant Qingzhou to King Ye as a fiefdom, and he wanted him to go and see the situation first.

Some people also say that since they are inspectors, they must do practical work.

It’s possible that this is going to reuse the Night King.

But everyone knows that the Night King has a broken leg and will never be able to take the throne again.

So there are all kinds of speculations.

"Ah? Really leaving?"

Tao Zhu nodded: "Yes, Miss, it's the Inspector of Qingzhou. It's quite close to the Southwestern Garrison."

The southwestern garrison was the Nangong family’s territory, and her brother Nangong Jin was leading his troops to fight there.

Nangong Yuan sighed, looked up to the sky and said: "Sure enough, I knew it!"

After spending these days together, Nangong Yuan also got to know Xiao Heyun a little.

He was a very, very, very restrained person, and also extremely sober.

This trip to Qingzhou was probably to recuperate.

Kyoto is currently still the territory of Prince Li and Queen, so it is unlikely that he will be able to regain military power.

So I have to find another way out········.

"There is Yong'an Lane in Qingzhou. Merchant ships coming and going will stop here. There are many wealthy businessmen there, and officials are making a lot of money."

He chose this place because he was planning to do something.

But this has nothing to do with Nangong Yuan, because she can't follow.

"What to do, what to do!"

She held her head and wanted to roll on the ground, but she couldn't think of anything to do.

Tao Zhu couldn't help but sigh when he saw how distraught she was.

"It seems that the young lady really likes His Majesty the Night King, and she is still brooding over it."

But General Nangong would never let her do whatever she wanted, so the girl's love ended in vain.

"Tao Zhu, when are they leaving?"

"Hmm... tomorrow, I heard we're running out of time."

Nangong Yuan said: "It seems that there is no chance, but it doesn't matter."

This time Xiao Heyun left to recuperate. When he comes back again, he will definitely turn Kyoto upside down.

In that case, Nangong Yuan doesn't plan to waste any more time.

She had to start the side quest and quickly earn points to prepare for what was to come.

In addition to being able to redeem items, each point can also be used to advance the plot.

It has many uses and benefits.

But points are very expensive, so Nangong Yuan is very frugal in daily life and doesn’t spend much on himself.

"System, system, I want to start a side quest, please help me do it."

[Ding ding, the side quest is started. 】

A cold electronic sound resounded through my mind, and an electronic screen flashed up.

[There are many refugees in Kyoto recently, most of them are fleeing from disaster. Mrs. Shen's uncle is in the refugee group. Please lend a hand, find out the truth about the refugees, improve the plot, and fix bugs.]

There are two options below, one to accept and one to reject.

She resolutely accepted the task.

Soon, the task information was issued.

Nangong Yuan opened it and quickly scanned it: "This mission seems to be quite difficult."

[Yes, since the map will be expanded, the host must be prepared to go out~]

Nangong Yuan nodded and said, "Got it."
