Chapter 197: Does my cousin want to be the future emperor of Xirong?
The moon is high in the sky and the night is warm.
The Ink Garden of the General's Mansion.
"Gouzi, haven't the witch's two disciples appeared yet?"
【No. 】
Gouzi continued: [Hong Zhi was hung on the gate of Xirong's capital and was almost dying, but he still failed to lure out the other two people, and I couldn't sense the breath of those two people. Could it be that they are not near the capital? ]
"According to the previous conversation between Hong Zhi and Ruyi, the eldest and the third brother should be nearby but have not yet arrived in the capital. Keep watching, they will appear eventually."
【Okay.】
"Also, the variable that the third brother calculated about the eldest princess should be referring to the rebirth of the eldest princess. It can be seen that this person is quite capable, so be careful."
[Master, rest assured. I just sent a wisp of my consciousness to watch near the city gate.]
"Ah."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Wen Xiang walked in and said, "Miss, you said before that you would give the young lady an acupuncture treatment tonight."
Nan Mo glanced out the window, then stood up and said, "Let's go."
On the way to Yuehua Garden, "Dog, is there any movement over at Qingli Garden?"
[Except for the fact that Nangong Yunli asked the maid next to her to find time to inquire about the prince's affairs when she first moved in, she did nothing else. She spent most of the day resting in her room except for eating.]
Nan Mo understood and continued to go to Yuehua Garden.
Qingli Garden.
After sleeping for most of the day, Nangong Yunli finally got up.
After the maid came over to help her wash up, she whispered, "Miss, it's strange that the girl in the general's mansion stays in her room all day without going out."
Nangong Yunli put down the water cup, and her clear eyes were instantly stained with a hint of displeasure, "Xu Niang, we are guests, how can guests ask about the host's affairs."
"Miss, this old servant is doing this for your own good. Miss Nan is as good as you in both looks and temperament. I wonder how many nobles would admire such a beauty in the capital. Young Master..."
"Xu Niang!"
Nangong Yunli scolded softly, "Do you know why I chose to let you follow me before entering the capital, and let the others stay outside the city?"
Xu Niang was stunned for a moment, and then she hesitated to speak, "Miss, are you really unhappy with the identity of the young lady?"
"More than unhappy."
At this moment, a hint of hatred flashed across Nangong Yunli's bright eyes.
"Xu Niang, you watched me grow up. You know better than anyone why my father died tragically. Long Yunli died the moment I walked out of the snowy mountain. I am only Nangong Yunli, the eldest daughter of the Nangong family. The snowy mountain has only hatred for me."
When Nangong Yunli said the last sentence, her eyes were red and the hatred in her eyes was not concealed at all.
Facing those eyes, Xu Niang sighed, "The master doesn't want to see you living in hatred like this, he just wants you to live a carefree life."
"From the moment I was born, I was destined to be carefree. From childhood to adulthood, I have only had one thought."
As she spoke, she looked over and said firmly, "Leave the Snow Mountain, leave the Dragon Clan, and just be a child of the Nangong family."
"Miss, this is harder than climbing to the sky."
"Yes, it's difficult, but I'm already out of the snowy mountains. What remains is how to get rid of those people outside the city."
Her eyes suddenly turned cold and looked over, "Xu Niang, will you betray me?"
Xu Niang fell to her knees with a plop. "I swear to be loyal to you till death, young lady. You are my master's child, the only blood of the Nangong family. How dare I betray you? The Xu family is loyal to only one master throughout their lives. You are a member of the Nangong family in life and a ghost of the Nangong family in death."
"Of course I believe in you. You are the one my father left me. How could I not believe in you?"
Nangong Yunli helped Xu Niang up and said, "Don't ask about anything about anyone in the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion took us in because they saved our lives, but we can't use their kindness to hurt them.
I originally wanted to take the opportunity to fulfill my father's last wish when I came to Beijing this time, but I didn't expect that his last wish was to find a shelter for me. General Nan does have a certain prestige in the whole of Daxia, but it is too insignificant compared to the Dragon Clan, so we can't involve the General's Mansion."
Xu Niang said helplessly, "Miss, I know you have been kind since you were young, but if there is no help from others, how can I and you escape from the snow mountain alone?
If we don't send a message outside the city tomorrow morning, the Seventh Elder will probably bring people into the city."
Nangong Yunli looked out the window, "No need to wait until tomorrow, the Seventh Elder will enter the city tonight."
"Then...what should we do? With the Seventh Elder's ability, he will soon find us in the General's Mansion."
"When I agreed to move in today, I had already thought about how to deal with it."
As she said this, she stood up and went behind the screen to change into a nightgown.
"Miss, you are..."
"You stay here, I will go to the city gate to meet the Seventh Elder, this will dispel his doubts."
Looking at the dark shadow submerged in the twilight, Xu Niang's face was full of worry.
-
Yuehuayuan.
It was tonight that Nan Mo truly saw Nan Rou's face. Since entering the general's mansion yesterday, Nan Rou has been wearing a veil whenever she leaves the room, and even meals have to be brought into the room by the wet nurse.
It was Nan Mo who coaxed Nan Rou into taking off her veil willingly at this time, even though she had used a lollipop.
When Nan Mo saw the vine-like mark on Nan Rou's right cheek, she felt distressed. Just imagine which girl doesn't want to be beautiful.
Fortunately, Nan Rou's intelligence was damaged due to the poison she was given at birth, so she didn't feel anything about the disfigurement.
At this moment, she was happily eating a lollipop. Her pair of phoenix eyes, like a baby's, looked extremely pure and clear, penetrating the soul, like a shining black gem.
The nurse came over and hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Excuse me, young lady, if my young lady's illness is cured, can the marks on her face be removed?"
"can."
Hearing Nan Mo's straightforward affirmation, the nurse finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady..."
At this moment, Nan Xiao was also pushed into the room in a wheelchair by Manager Zhou.
Nan Mo looked at Nan Xiao, thinking of the scene when she teleported to Xirong to meet the eldest princess today.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Cousin and cousin should stay in the general's mansion to recover from their illness. As for Xirong, everything is fine."
Hearing Nan Mo's sudden words, Nan Xiao instantly understood. His eyes seemed to become brighter, and he looked at Nan Mo with gratitude for a long time, "Thank you, cousin."
Although he didn't know why Nan Mo was so sure that Xirong was safe, he believed what she said.
It was two hours later when the acupuncture treatment on Nan Rou was completed.
After leaving the room, Nan Mo did not leave Yuehua Garden immediately.
Nan Xiao easily guessed her intention and immediately said, "Cousin, do you have something to say to me?"
"Let's go sit in the courtyard."
"it is good."
Nan Xiao didn't let Manager Zhou follow him. Just as he was about to push the wheelchair himself, Nan Mo pushed the wheelchair's armrests from behind and walked towards the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, Wen Xiang and Manager Zhou stayed not far away, ready to be dispatched at any time.
Courtyard lakeside.
"Cousin, do you want to be the future emperor of Xirong?"
Nan Xiao looked up in surprise, he had never thought about this question. The most important thing was that he had always known that he would not live long, so he never coveted that position. Before leaving Xirong, he did not ask for much, as long as his family could be healthy.
But now... the poison in his womb can be cured and his body is intact. His life and that of his younger sister were given a new life by this cousin whom he met for the first time.
So he was willing to go through fire and water for her, willing to fight for that position, and he was confident that as long as he wanted to fight for it, he would be able to get it.
"If my cousin needs me to sit in that position, then I can be the emperor for a while."
