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

Nangong Yuan rarely changes her decision.

She thought about it and decided that since everything was fine now and she happened to run into Xiao Heyun, there was no need to leave.

She wasn’t able to carry out the strategy mission in the capital before, so doesn’t she have a chance now?

"You... don't have to force it."

He wanted to keep Nangong Yuan by his side, not to make her his subordinate.

Besides, she was exposed to the sight of that group of people and couldn't stand it alone.

So Xiao Heyun thought about it and decided that instead of her wandering around like this, it would be better for her to just follow him.

But I don’t want her to be a coolie...

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't ask for asylum in vain. Moreover, this matter involves the national economy and people's livelihood, so it cannot be generalized."

Seeing her say that, Xiao Heyun had no choice but to shut up.

I just feel like she seemed to have misunderstood something.

Nangong Yuan is not as naive as he thinks. If she knew he thought this way, she would yell at him, "You think too much."

"Well, this is a government matter, don't take it upon yourself."

Of course she is not that stupid, but if her words are not dignified, can it improve his favorability towards her?

So she said in a tea-like tone: "Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. I am under the protection of the dynasty, so how can I not make progress?"

"·······."

Xiao Heyun was speechless, finding it hard to express in words such lofty words.

It’s not that she is hypocritical, but it’s a different feeling.

She just doesn't want to see others suffer and loves to stand up for the weak, so she ends up getting hurt.

"It's great that you have this intention. As for the rest... Li Jin will take care of it."

Li Jin standing by was stunned and shocked the whole time, but his face remained expressionless.

The prince doesn't talk so much even to his closest subordinates.

He has always been calm and reserved, speaking briefly and to the point, not chatting with others, and rarely showing obvious emotions.

But it was rare that he was so kind to a young man.

He was astonished.

So he looked at Nangong Yuan carefully.

“Looks...very good.”

He is a handsome and bright young man, looks full of energy, has a cheerful personality and is good at speaking.

"Well, he has a chivalrous spirit, which is very different from those playboys in Kyoto."

It is really hard not to like such a person.

But that’s the prince!

Li Jin was a little frustrated and thought: "Could it be that the prince has not been interested in women for so many years because he likes men?"

This is the first time we meet, there's no need to be like this.

In his heart, he prayed to the deceased Toffee while thinking silently.

"Princess Dowager, please bless me, Your Majesty, please don't like men."

Over the years, Xiao Heyun has been surrounded by blood and gore, and no woman is worthy of standing by his side.

If you are not careful and get caught in those dangers, you will die quickly.

Therefore, Xiao Heyun never had any contact with women and had no intention of taking a concubine.

The palace neglected him and never mentioned anything in this regard.

Li Jin felt that his prince might be too depressed to bear it, so he thought this handsome young man was very good.

"I can't let the prince go astray!"

So for a long time afterwards, whenever Li Jin encountered any problems, he would call Nangong Yuan to help.

This made Xiao He very upset and he scolded him.

In this regard, Li Jin felt that his guess was correct, so he tried harder to pull Nangong Yuan away.

However, this is all a story for another day.

Nangong Yuan turned her head and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Li."

The curve of her eyes was very beautiful when she smiled. Li Jin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and shook his head.

"I can't be fooled by her innocent face!"

Nangong Yuan didn't care about this.

"My Lord, how long will we stay here?"

Xiao Heyun thought for a moment and said, "I have almost discussed the matter of the caravan with Lord Chen, but I can't guarantee whether the other party will take action, so let's wait for a while."

They posted the news of the capture of the three murderers and publicized it.

For a moment, the panic in Wucheng was much less.

I heard before that the murderer disguised himself as a family of three, which made them feel that anyone could be the murderer when they went out.

Trembling with fear.

Now that it's been resolved, they feel relieved again.

Early in the morning, some people put eggs at the gate of the yamen, saying that they were to nourish the yamen runners who were investigating the case.

Liu Xiaoan specifically gave some to Nangong Yuan.

"These are just farm products, given voluntarily by the people. They are not worth much. You can eat them."

Of course Nangong Yuan would not refuse. She took a cucumber from the basket, wiped it casually and took a bite.

"Have you been busy lately?"

Liu Xiaoan shook his head: "It's not a big case, just a fight between neighbors or catching an adulterer, these are trivial matters."

This group of yamen runners are always at the forefront of handling cases. Over the years, they have encountered so many strange things that it is impossible to list them all.

After the murder happened, they were exhausted from investigating the case and were very nervous, so they thought these little things were more interesting.

"That's good, safe and sound, nothing serious."

She finished the cucumber in two or three bites and threw the rest to the chickens running around on the roadside.

"You are living in the master's house now, so take a good rest. You have worked hard these days."

Nangong Yuan wanted to laugh when she heard this: "How could you be so hard-working? Everyone worked very hard when they were investigating the case."

"That's different. You don't need to get any salary for helping us. It's like giving it to us for free."

This made Nangong Yuan remember that she was indeed in a disadvantageous position.

She said awkwardly: "How can you talk like that? I was just helping."

"Oh, I'm not good at talking, don't take it to heart." Liu Xiaoan patted his mouth and said, "Although I don't get a salary, I do have some. I'll treat you to a meal in a few days, so you must come."

Nangong Yuan said: "That's a good feeling."

She is not a fool. Why should she be so pretentious when someone treats her?

The two chatted for a while before Liu Xiaoan was hurriedly called away.

"Oh, the Liu family's land was occupied, and he got angry and beat someone up. Let's go over and take a look first."

Watching them walk away in a hurry, the smile on Nangong Yuan's lips remained for a long time.

"That's best."

It’s better not to disrupt the lives of ordinary people with major cases that involve lives.

"Miss, there's a letter from Kyoto."

Tao Zhu ran over happily and handed her the letter.

"is it?"

Nangong Yuan quickly opened it and took a look, his expression slowly becoming calm.

It was written by her brother, saying that the court had already dealt with the affairs of Hongzhou and had also granted Madam Shen an imperial edict. It was not appropriate for him to stay in Kyoto for long and he had already left to station troops in the southwest.

Things were fine at home, she didn't need to worry.

But be careful not to let her hang out outside for too long, and send her home after a few days.

Mrs. Shen had nagged him so much that his head was about to go numb, and Nangong Jin was very resentful about this.

There is another thing, which is that King Li was rejected.

"King Li is narrow-minded, not a benevolent monarch. You have to be careful..."
