Chapter 50: Everyone is turning evil?

The most important thing is, how could the princess's mansion be burned down for no reason, and this woman was outside gloating over the misfortune, as if she had known about it for a long time.

Mu Nanzhou narrowed his eyes and asked directly: "Did you set the fire in the princess's mansion?"

Xu Yanyi choked and was about to curse him in her heart, but then she changed her mind and thought, No, this guy can hear what she is thinking, she can't just say anything casually.

Just as I was thinking about what to say, there was a report from outside.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Good fellow.

The little emperor is here.

"Prince Nanling, I came to see my sister. I didn't expect you to be here too. I just heard that you and the Queen Mother went to the Changyin Pavilion to listen to an opera."

The little emperor had a smile on his face, but the progress bar above his head was pitch black and glaring.

Xu Yanyi sighed.

Nearly half of the people in this palace are black-hearted. It was difficult for the late emperor not to be killed.

Mu Nanzhou frowned. What exactly is a progress bar?

The young emperor raised his hand to stop Mu Nanzhou and Xu Yanyi from saluting, and walked up to Xu Yanyi: "Royal sister, the imperial physician just said that he made you angry, so he didn't give you a pulse. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable anywhere."

After thinking for a while, Xu Yanyi pretended to faint and fell into Mu Nanzhou's arms. Mu Nanzhou was stunned for a moment, holding his breath and supporting her.

Xu Yanyi said weakly: "It's okay. The princess's mansion was just in disrepair for a long time. The weather was dry and the fire just caught fire. Anyway, no one lives there on weekdays. It's okay if it burns. There is no loss. The prince will personally pay for me to build a nice house in the future. Prince, don't you agree?"

Mu Nanzhou glared at her fiercely and said angrily: "As long as the princess likes it, I will do it naturally."

"But the prince is very busy and certainly doesn't have the time to build a new house. So you give me some silver and I'll take care of it. One thousand silver will be enough."

Xu Yanyi responded immediately.

Anyway, you still owe me so much dowry, do you want me to remind you?

“…”

Mu Nanzhou took a deep breath, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Xu Yanyi leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Prince, the emperor is here. After all, the emperor is still my brother. No matter how bad my reputation is, Bei Qin values ​​filial piety and family affection. Since he couldn't kill me back then, he doesn't dare to do anything to me now.

It's not good that you don't even give your wife one thousand taels. If rumors spread, it will be bad for you. But if you don't mind, it's okay. Your dear little cousin's reputation is not that good anyway. You two scumbags can be as bad as each other."

"I don't like being threatened!"

Mu Nanzhou's handsome face turned dark with anger.

Xu Yanyi blinked innocently: "I don't like living in those shabby places, and I don't like others touching my wedding dowry."

"you!"

Mu Nanzhou closed his eyes, then opened them with great difficulty and forced a dry smile, "It's only one thousand taels, how could I not give it to you?"

"Give it to me now, in case you are too busy and forget it."

Xu Yanyi smiled and stretched out her hand.

The little emperor seemed to be sizing up the two of them, but he remained silent.

Mu Nanzhou gritted his teeth, took out one of his seals and placed it heavily in her hand: "This is the seal of Dafeng Bank, my seal! You can take it and withdraw money!"

"Thank you!"

Xu Yanyi quickly put the seal into her pocket.

The little emperor frowned, somewhat puzzled. Wasn't it said that Xu Yanyi and Mu Nanzhou had a very bad relationship in Nanling Palace in recent years? Wasn't it said that Xu Yanyi and Mu Nanzhou were at loggerheads?

But why did it feel like the two of them were showing affection just now? Did he miss something?

Xu Yanyi sat up from Mu Nanzhou's arms and yawned: "My Lord, I have been bothering you for a long time about the affairs of the Princess's Mansion today. You are so busy, you should go and rest first. Isn't Miss Li still waiting for you?"

"Qiu'er has gone back."

Mu Nanzhou said coldly.

"Then you should go back too. I am your princess and the emperor's sister. We haven't spoken to each other for a long time. Today, the emperor comes to see me. Shouldn't we have a good chat?"

Xu Yanyi pointed at the little emperor who was standing nearby and seemed to be paying little attention.

The corners of Mu Nanzhou's mouth twitched.

Damn it!

This woman is using the emperor to threaten me!

Xu Yanyi whispered in his ear: "If you don't get out of my sight quickly, I will reveal the secret. If I remember correctly, there are many things in Li Qiuer's room that are tributes from the court.

The things that the emperor gave you, you gave to others without the emperor's consent, which is a crime in Northern Qin. If it gets out, you, the prince who has made great contributions, will be in even worse trouble. Even if you are not afraid, Li Qiuer will be punished. "

Mu Nanzhou's sharp black eyes suddenly grabbed Xu Yanyi, these things were not a secret in the mansion, and people in the mansion would not tell outsiders. This woman knew about it before, but she never said it before. But now, she actually brought it out to threaten him!

Pursing his thin lips, Mu Nanzhou narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

After saying this, Mu Nanzhou turned around and walked away.

After waiting until Mu Nanzhou disappeared from view, Xu Yanyi quickly moved a chair over for the little emperor. The little emperor sat down with an innocent and kind smile on his face, just like a child.

If Xu Yanyi couldn't see the black progress bar above his head, she would have been fooled by him.

This guy is not a pushover.

"Royal sister, are you and Prince Nanling doing well?"

The little emperor held Xu Yanyi's hand, his voice still childish, with tears in his eyes, as if he felt sorry for his sister.

"If you really can't live well, then... I will find you another good family, but the King of Nanling has a large army. I am only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old emperor now. The Queen Mother and the Grand Tutor are involved in government affairs, and I have no one at my disposal, so it is really difficult."

Xu Yanyi just felt that the little emperor had something else to say.

She was not in a hurry and cooperated patiently: "The prince and I are just treating each other with respect, it is not clear how much affection we have.

But he has a large army under his command. If he can assist the emperor and stand on his side because of my relationship, the empress dowager and the tutor will be overthrown one day. Apart from this, I don’t know how else I can help you.”

The little emperor's eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Sister, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. Prince Nanling is arrogant. He will help Northern Qin defend against the enemy, but he will not help me to sit firmly on the throne. I still have to rely on you..."

My goodness, is this something a 15 or 16-year-old kid can say?

Were people in ancient times more mature earlier, or...

Xu Yanyi's face changed slightly, she sighed, and asked nervously, "Walls have ears. I am your eldest sister, and I will help you if I can. It's a pity that what happened three years ago has made me unable to turn over until today. I am the eldest princess of Huiyang, and I don't know how I can help you."

"Of course, sister!" The little emperor hurriedly grabbed her hand and whispered, "You used the golden medal of immunity from death that father left for you. And there is also the will, which says that he left you a secret army. Can you use it when necessary? Give me the will, okay?"

Xu Yanyi's eyes turned cold. As expected, the little emperor was such a black-hearted guy. He just wanted what her, the imperial sister, had!
