"Mr. Nangong was injured a lot on the battlefield before. He will get better after taking this medicine. It's useless to recuperate, but it can help to heal his body."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Madam Xu." The maid bowed to Xu Miaomiao, then turned around and left with the prescription.

As soon as she went out, she ran into Nangong Jin. Seeing Nangong Jin coming, Xu Miaomiao immediately stood up, looked at her and asked, "Weiwei, how are they? Did they get out of the city safely?"

Nangong Jin walked over with big strides, sat down on a chair nearby, looked at Xu Miaomiao's haggard face, sighed, and said, "Don't worry, they have left the city safely. I have ordered someone to follow them, so they will not be hurt. You can rest assured."

"What about the palace? Is there any news from the palace?"

Xu Miaomiao asked anxiously, but Nangong Jin shook his head when he heard this: "It's strange, the imperial guards have surrounded the palace for three days, but there is still no news at all? We don't know what happened inside, even my Nangong family can't get in."

Xu Miaomiao was anxious here, pacing in the mansion, muttering to herself, "If it is true that the Fifth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are fighting for power, and the name of the Fifth Prince treason has been established, then the emperor should have come out to testify long ago. However, the imperial guards have surrounded the palace and no news can get out. No news about the Fifth Prince has come out. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sealed off the Prince's Mansion, the Song Mansion, and other families that are friendly with the Fifth Prince. This can only mean."

Xu Miaomiao muttered to herself.

Nangong Jin, who was standing by, heard this and immediately continued what Xu Miaomiao said, "It can only mean that the Fifth Prince is not dead, and Song Wushao is fine. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fighting for power with the Fifth Prince, but now it's still unknown whether the Emperor is dead or alive."

Xu Miaomiao immediately clasped her fists in salute, knelt on the ground, looked at Nangong Jiang and said, "Please, Mr. Nangong, escort me to the palace."

Nangong Jin saw Xu Miaomiao's appearance and immediately stood up, trying to help Xu Miaomiao up, but Xu Miaomiao was too stubborn. Nangong Jin could only sigh and said, "Although my Nangong family is an important official, the palace is too heavily guarded now, and I can't get in!"

"I have a plan. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that you brought me here, Mr. Nangong will present me to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This way, I can enter the palace legitimately."

"Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so easy to fool?" Nangong Jin slammed the table upon hearing this, stood up angrily and said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's far from as simple as you think. He knew who you were, but he still gave you to me. What do you think his intention was?"

When Xu Miaomiao heard Nangong Jin's words, he suddenly realized something. He was stunned, took two steps back, and said, "He wants to win over the Nangong Mansion and make them serve him for generations. Otherwise, the Nangong Mansion will always have me as a scourge. I am the sword in his hand. This sword can point to him, but it can also be directed at the Nangong Mansion from time to time. If you are not careful, the Nangong Mansion will fall into danger."

"You are right." Nangong Jin nodded, and then said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, you will be a criminal subject. I will take in a criminal subject. If I am loyal to him, it is fine. I will just treat you as a beautiful concubine. However, if one day he regards me as a thorn in his side, you will be the fuse. Not only you, but even the entire Nangong Mansion will be confiscated."

“But if it’s so dangerous now, why did Mr. Nangong save me?”

Xu Miaomiao looked at the man in front of her in confusion and spoke.

Nangong Jin heard this, but he gave a bitter smile, and finally did not speak. He only left his back to Xu Miaomiao, and said fiercely: "If you really feel bored staying here, go to the street to buy me some medicine tomorrow!"

Looking at Nangong Jin's departing back, Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything in the end. Thinking that she would be able to leave the house tomorrow, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was rainy in this season, and it was rare to have a sunny day. Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised. She covered her head with a hat and went out. She saw that people on the street were still shouting their businesses as usual. Although Xu Miaomiao came out to buy medicine, she was still careless and walked in front of the department store.

The once bustling store had become deserted, with the items inside scattered all over the floor. A big "Sold" word was written on the door. Xu Miaomiao felt heartbroken when she saw this scene for some reason, but she could only clench her fists and turn away.

He wasn't paying attention and bumped into the woman in front of him.

The hat on Xu Miaomiao's face was lifted off. Just as she was about to get up, a pair of slender hands reached out to her.

Song Zhijin immediately helped Xu Miaomiao up and said, "Madam Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Miaomiao saw that the woman just sighed. She didn't expect Song Zhijin to be so good at pretending. They had already torn their faces apart like this, but Song Zhijin could still pretend. In this case, Xu Miaomiao did not explain much. She just bowed to Song Zhijin, took her hat and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Song Zhijin was not annoyed. She immediately caught up with Xu Miaomiao and chattered in her ear, "Madam Xu, I know what happened today is not what you want to see. Mr. Song is really pitiful, but we women still have to think about ourselves. Now that Mr. Song has been demoted, you should stay in Nangong Mansion and stay with Ajin. Ajin will definitely protect you and make you rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. Jiahe is also a cheerful person and will definitely not tolerate you. When the time comes, you can use Ajin's influence to open a department store. It will definitely not be a big deal."

Song Zhijin said a lot of things.

There was only one sentence left in Xu Miaomiao's mind: Prime Minister Song was demoted.

When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately took Song Zhijin's hand and said, "Who did you say was demoted? Was Song Wushao demoted? Was he born in the palace? Was he injured?"

Xu Miaomiao's string of questions made Song Zhijin stunned, then she smiled again, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "I think it's because Ah Jin has protected you too well these days. You were not informed of the news outside at all. The notice has been posted over there. Madam Xu, you might as well go and take a look yourself."
