"Are you feeling better?" Unexpectedly, Nangong Jing didn't mean that. But for some reason, Lin Jiuxi always felt that something was wrong with him.

"Well, thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Lin Jiuxi didn't know why Nangong Jing became so polite again, but when she thought about it carefully, there was no harm. It was not that she was selfish, but if she got too close to Nangong Jing, she would be used as a bargaining chip by the emperor.

Nangong Jing pursed her lips, waved her hand and told Xuchun to leave. Even though the little girl was worried, she had to say yes in a low voice.

The two looked at each other in silence, neither of them knowing what to say. After such an incident, even though Lin Jiuxi was the one who was stabbed, he couldn't avoid being scolded.

"How can you be so reckless at such a grown-up?" Nangong Jing finally spoke, but those eyes that contained no expression made Lin Jiuxi tremble inexplicably. She hadn't seen such a reproachful look in a long time, and when she saw it now, it actually made her feel a little uneasy.

She murmured woodenly, unable to find other words to prevaricate Nangong Jing. To be honest, she didn't know why she threw herself forward like that. If it wasn't for the piercing pain, she wouldn't even have come back to her senses.

Maybe it was because Nangong Jing had promised her too many things, or maybe it was because she was obsessed with the fact that she had not cured Nangong Jing's eyes. After thinking about it for so long, she naturally couldn't stop thinking about it.

It's not that she thinks Nangong Jing's behavior is inappropriate, but there are some things she does want to ask more about. After killing the assassin so hastily, Nangong Jing probably knows who the person behind the scenes is. Apart from the current emperor, who else would be so reckless as to murder the current prince?

What's more, in the current situation, the assassin is dead. Even if they don't make a big fuss, in the eyes of that dog emperor, it would be tantamount to a slap in the face.

Nangong Jing nodded slowly. Although the assassin realized that something was wrong, he did not escape after all. Whether the outside world knew the number of secret guards in the palace depended on whether he was willing to announce it or not. Even for the current emperor, it was the same. The assassin obviously did not get any information, so he was captured.

"He who is so audacious should be killed without mercy." He said the last four words calmly, but Lin Jiuxi felt uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and nodded hesitantly, then sighed slowly.

"Your humble servant greets the prince." Cheng Hao smiled and bowed, his eyes looking particularly shrewd, as if testing Nangong Jing.

On the second day, the news of Prince Duan's assassination spread throughout the capital. Although this prince had no power, he was well-known. There were many different opinions about who was the blind man who attacked the prince.

Nangong Jing slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and nodded gently with his fingertips clasping the porcelain cup. Then he slowly opened his eyes. After he could vaguely see things, his eyes were obviously brighter, which surprised Cheng Hao.

What Nangong Jing didn't tell her was that the assassin tried to commit suicide, but his hands and feet were crippled, and even the teeth that contained the poison sac were smashed.

"What brings you here today, Lord Cheng?" Nangong Jing took a sip of tea, looking quite indifferent, as if he knew everything about everything.

Since ancient times, the imperial family has been ruthless and could even persecute their own brothers and sisters. The emperor would probably not even take them, who are just officials, seriously.

"If that's the case, then we'll investigate it thoroughly," Lin Jiuxi said, forcing himself to be a chess master. He frowned and exhaled softly, his eyes falling on Nangong Jing's face, "We have to make some noise, so that the civil and military officials will naturally see the problem."

"Can you tell me who is the mastermind behind this?" Lin Jiuxi's eyes were particularly bright, as if he was eager to know the answer.

Such an action is tantamount to breaking off relations with the emperor, but Lin Jiuxi doesn't care about it. This day is only a matter of time, and it would be better to make his attitude clear as soon as possible to tell the emperor that they are not easy to mess with.

These words have made it clear that the emperor was so hasty in wanting to get rid of Nangong Jing that it chilled the hearts of the ministers in the court. Even if it was for the sake of hundreds of people in the family, they still had to curry favor with him. Nangong Jing did not die at the hands of the emperor this time, and he might be able to make a comeback in the future.

A few days after this incident spread, someone came to the door. It was the current right prime minister Cheng Hao.

Nangong Jingjing was extremely surprised by Lin Jiuxi's words. He raised his eyebrows, then slightly bent his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, this was just an impulse," Lin Jiuxi obviously didn't intend to say too much to him here. The corners of his lips curved slightly, with an indescribable sense of relief, "Has the assassin been caught?"

Nangong Jing opened his mouth, then nodded slowly, but refused when Lin Jiuxi asked to see the assassin. He tightened his hands hanging by his side slightly, took a deep breath, and then was willing to explain to Lin Jiuxi.

Perhaps it was because he always felt that Lin Jiuxi was different from the people around her, so Nangong Jing couldn't say anything harsh to her.

Cheng Hao looked at him carefully, finally gritted his teeth, took two steps forward and smiled apologetically: "I heard that the prince originally had a fancy to the land in the western suburbs of the capital. I was fortunate to get it, and now I am here to offer it to the prince."

No matter what the future holds, it’s always a good idea to give small favors now.

Nangong Jing smiled but said nothing when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Hao calmly. The latter understood and quickly bowed and handed over the deed, carefully observing Nangong Jing's expression.

It was obvious that some of the words on the deed were wrong. Nangong Jing curved his eyes. It was not a bad thing to have such a thoughtful vassal. It was strange that he could not see things far away clearly, they were very blurry, but he could see things nearby clearly.

"Did Lord Cheng rush to take the wrong thing? This deed is full of typos, how can it be used?" Nangong Jing raised his eyes with a smile. Even though he couldn't see Cheng Hao's expression, he could sense his surprise. "Or did Lord Cheng come here today just to have fun with me?"

"I dare not! I think it is because of my old eyesight that I have seen the wrong thing. I will send the land deed to the palace tomorrow." Cheng Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but his face was extremely surprised. As he expected, Nangong Jing's eyes might have recovered long ago.
