Putting aside the fact that Su Luo's appearance is inferior to hers, the fact that she is a married woman and a mother of two is enough for her to win a thousand times over.
"cousin……"
Ye Qianning reached out and touched Ye Beihan's chest, her posture charming and alluring.
Although Ye Beihan was drunk, he could still feel the strange movement in his body.
Su Luo would never act in such a manner.
Once his vision cleared, he realized that the person sitting on him was Ye Qianning.
Moreover, Ye Qianning's lowered lips were about to land on him.
"roll……"
With a single palm strike, Ye Qianning was sent flying, crashing into the table behind her, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Faced with the enraged Ye Beihan, Ye Qianning was unwilling to accept it.
She is clearly the most beautiful woman in the world, so why does Ye Beihan not even glance at her, but instead has his heart set on Su Luo?
"Cousin...why?"
Ye Beihan kicked the long sword out with his foot, caught it with his right hand, and pressed it against Ye Qianning's neck.
"Ye Qianning, I will spare your life because you have just rendered meritorious service."
"If you dare to push your luck any further, don't blame my blade for being merciless."
Ye Qianning was unconvinced. Looking at the entire Northern Liang, only she, Ye Qianning, was worthy of a cold and abstinent man like Ye Beihan.
"Cousin...I..."
Ye Qianning suffered internal injuries from Ye Beihan's palm strike, making it difficult for her to speak.
Clutching her wound, she looked at Ye Beihan with tears in her eyes.
“Cousin, I love you… I, Ye Qianning, have lied countless times, but on this matter, I never intended to hide it.”
"In the entire Northern Liang, only I, Ye Qianning, am worthy of you."
Ye Beihan scoffed: "I have never needed women by my side. Any woman who has touched me will only face death."
Ye Beihan's body used to look like that, and it could be said that he hated women the most.
If Ye Qianning weren't still useful, he would have already stabbed her, feeding her to his dogs like all the other women he had with her.
Ye Qianning stood up, sneering repeatedly.
“Cousin, if you don’t need a woman, what about Su Luo? She’s not one of us.”
Ye Beihan turned his head, his eyes sharp, and brought the knife closer to Ye Qianning by an inch.
He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "You are not worthy to mention her."
“I am not worthy. It is clearly her who is not worthy. She is the Princess Consort of Yu, a married woman.”
Perhaps on a night like this, she's whispering sweet nothings to Prince Yu, while you, cousin, are... what are you doing?
Ye Beihan struck again. How could he not know what Ye Qianning had said?
But he didn't care. If he was only Su Luo's person, then who cared who she was with now?
"Get out of here. What business is it of yours to interfere in my affairs?"
Ye Beihan's eyes turned red. Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Qianning's maid quickly came in and helped Ye Qianning away.
...
After performing surgery on Nangong Qing, Su Luo didn't dare leave his side for a moment.
It wasn't until dawn that Nangong regained consciousness. Having survived the most dangerous night, and seeing that he was out of danger, Su Luo was finally relieved.
"By His Majesty's decree, summon the Deputy Minister of Agriculture to the palace."
Outside the door came the chief eunuch to deliver the imperial decree. Su Luo replied from inside, "Understood!"
Last night, the emperor sent someone to inquire about Nangong Qing's situation every so often.
Given what happened last night, a verbal battle is inevitable when we enter the palace today.
Although she stayed at Ji'an Hall, Nangong Chiyu was there to protect her from everything outside, so Su Luo wasn't worried at all.
Although Nangong Qing had woken up, he was too weak from blood loss to speak.
Su Luo wiped his hands and the sweat from his forehead. Now that the anesthetic had worn off, she could only try her best to use silver needles to reduce Nangong Qing's pain.
"Focus on recovering. I will not let the person who hurt you get away with it."
Su Luo comforted the weakened Nangong Qing, her words sounding almost like she was talking to herself.
Nangong Qing wasn't stupid; the prime suspect in his assassination attempt was Nangong Jingyao.
He held Su Luo's hand tightly, as if he felt an infinite sense of security with Su Luo by his side.
Why? Even though I wanted to stay away from her, I ended up finding myself becoming more and more dependent on her.
"You should rest well. I'm here, you'll be fine."
Su Luo let Du Xiuyuan in. Du Xiuyuan had received her true teachings and had no problem taking care of Nangong Qing after her surgery.
The eunuch also went in to take a look at Nangong Qing before he went back to report to His Majesty.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Luo entered the main hall, she saw several people.
There was no court session today. The emperor sat wearily on the dragon throne, his eyes dark and bloodshot.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"
"The Vice Minister of Agriculture is exempt from formalities. How is the third prince?"
To this day, the emperor's greatest worry remains the life and death of his son.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince's wounds have stabilized, and he is no longer in mortal danger."
However, what will happen in the future remains to be seen.
Su Luo said this so that His Majesty would know that Nangong Qing was seriously injured.
We must thoroughly investigate who sent this assassin.
The atmosphere inside the main hall was strange. In addition to Nangong Chiyu, there was also the Second Prince, Minister Xing and his wife.
"Hmph! Today I will find the person who harmed the Third Prince. Whoever dares to harm a prince, I will not let them off easily."
As the emperor spoke, he glanced at Nangong Jingyao, his eyes conveying a hidden meaning.
"Father, my third brother suffered a disaster without cause, and we must find out the truth. However, my princess consort passed away yesterday."
There was a reason for this, all because of the use of something made by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture.
Yesterday, in my haste, I even went to see the Vice Minister of Agriculture and had a conflict with Prince Yu. Father, you must also stand up for me regarding the matter of the Crown Princess.
The royal family has been plagued by a series of misfortunes. When Nangong Jingyao entered the palace today, he found that the palace was filled with imperial guards, unlike usual.
This change in the palace made him uneasy, as if someone was about to be arrested at any moment.
"I will naturally investigate the matter concerning the Crown Princess. Today, Minister Xing and Madam Xing are both here. I will certainly clear the Crown Princess's name and give Minister Xing an explanation."
Nangong Jingyao looked at Minister Xing and his wife. The two old people's attitude towards him today was completely different from yesterday.
What exactly did they discover? Why did their attitude towards him change so quickly?
"Prince Yu, bring the assassin in."
"yes!"
The emperor wanted to interrogate the assassin himself. Although he suspected that Nangong Jingyao was responsible for the assassination of Nangong Qing, he wanted to hear what the assassin had to say first.
If Nangong Jingyao were to turn against his own brothers for a petty gain, he would be unworthy of the throne.
The emperor knew that Nangong Qing only wanted to be a carefree prince.
He had already decided that he would hand over the future of Nanning to Nangong Jingyao.
But he hasn't even taken this position yet, and he's already starting to kill his own brothers. What will happen if he's not around?
It's still unknown whether Nangong Qing has a chance to survive.
When Nangong Jingyao saw that the person Nangong Chiyu was bringing in was Huo Qi, his eyes narrowed.
His men clearly reported to him that Huo Qiyi had been killed, so what about the person being brought here now?
