In the imperial study.
Prince Jian asked, "What does your majesty want from me?"
Nangong Yan said calmly: "Uncle Jiu, I have found out something recently and I want to tell you about it.
Back then on the battlefield, my leg was not injured by accident, but was man-made. Someone deliberately wanted to mutilate me and tampered with my leg. ”
Nangong Yan's words made Prince Jian's heart tighten. Facing Nangong Yan's deep and dark eyes, he subconsciously became a little nervous, but soon stabilized his composure and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's going on?"
Nangong Yan retracted his gaze, walked to Zhuo An and sat down, and said, "I just found out, but I only found some clues. I haven't found out who it is yet. I called Uncle Jiu here today just to ask Uncle Jiu, who you suspect, I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out who it is."
Prince Jian was a little surprised, and couldn't understand what Nangong Yan meant for a moment. He could only say, "Your Majesty, I can't guess who this suspect is. I have to know his motives before I can guess."
Nangong Yan nodded and said, "There is someone I suspect, but I can't quite figure out his motives."
Upon hearing this, Prince Jian's heart tightened again, and he asked doubtfully, "Who does your majesty suspect?"
Nangong Yan raised his eyes and looked at him. His eyes were deep and unpredictable. He said calmly, "I suspect it was someone from the royal family. Maybe someone wanted my throne, so he did this to me. Or maybe he didn't want the throne, but something else."
Prince Jian couldn't help but tighten his hands on the wheelchair, and steadied his voice and said, "It seems that no one in the royal family wants to compete for the throne. Your Majesty, your prestige is too high. If everyone is convinced, who would be so desperate to compete with you for the throne? This is simply courting death."
Nangong Yan stared at him closely, then smiled slightly, with an inexplicable expression, "Who knows! Maybe he doesn't want the throne."
Prince Jian swallowed his saliva and smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, I am just a first-level useless person. I can't help you with these things. It's futile for you to tell me."
As he spoke, Prince Jian revealed a helpless and desolate expression.
Nangong Yan nodded calmly, "Yeah, that's right, Uncle Jiu can't help me with anything, Uncle Jiu, go back! This matter will be resolved soon, and the results will come out soon. When the time comes, I will notify Uncle Jiu."
In the past, whenever he showed a sad expression, Nangong Yan's attitude towards him would become very sympathetic, but now, facing what he just said, Nangong Yan was actually indifferent.
King Jian noticed something was wrong.
He also felt that Nangong Yan's words were just talk. He guessed that maybe Nangong Yan had already noticed something, which was why he had this attitude.
After a few more words, King Jian left.
After Prince Jian left, Qingli came out from behind the screen.
Nangong Yan looked at her and asked, "How is it, is it really him?"
Qingli nodded, "Yes, it's just that he was not the one who did all the things. But when I saw him the other day, I knew where Li Jiuhua was. I didn't expect that these two people were actually in the same group."
Nangong Yan didn't know that Prince Jian was actually in contact with Li Jiuhua. He had heard of Li Jiuhua's reputation, but he didn't believe it before, so he never took this man seriously.
"Then let's set a trap for them! When I say this today, King Jian will definitely be a little suspicious. Maybe he will take action again in the next two days. When the time comes, we can just take him down and this disaster will be resolved."
Nangong Yan said.
Qingli nodded, "He really couldn't help himself."
The two talked for a while, and then Qingli left the palace.
As soon as she left the palace, she found someone following her.
She didn't shake him off, but deliberately went to a more remote place.
I thought those people would take action, but I didn't expect that they were just following me and had no intention of taking action.
Seeing this, Qingli gave up the idea of attacking them, turned around a few times, and got rid of them.
At this time in Jiang's house, An Yun had followed Jiang's family back, and the mother and daughter had a quarrel. To be precise, it was An Yun who quarreled, and Qiao listened silently.
They quarreled for a long time until An Yun said he was done, and then he stopped thinking. An Yun drove Qiao out, and then he was alone in his room, depressed.
"Princess An Yun, it must be unpleasant to fall from a great height!"
The sudden sound startled An Yun, and she subconsciously stood up in shock.
"who?"
A woman suddenly jumped in from the window. She was wearing black clothes and a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly.
"Don't be afraid, Princess. I'm not here to harm you. I'm here to help you."
The woman in black spoke with a smile on her face.
An Yun sneered and said, "I am no longer a princess. You don't have to call me that. It seems like you are deliberately exposing my scars."
Hearing this, the woman chuckled and said, "My princess is smart, but I really don't mean to expose your scars. I just can't stand how they treat you, so I want to help you."
An Yun sneered, his tone was sarcastic, "You help me? Who are you? You don't even dare to show your face, what can you do to help me?"
An Yun's temper is not good and she is prone to temper tantrums, which is one of her characteristics.
The woman in black smiled and said, "I'm Xueling. Princess, just call me by my name from now on. I am willing to be a maid by your side, give you advice and get back everything that originally belonged to you."
As she spoke, Xueling took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face.
This face is not very attractive, and is not as good-looking as it was when it was covered with a veil.
An Yun took a closer look and found that he didn't know such a person.
"What do you want to do?"
An Yun asked.
She didn't believe that this person would have no purpose.
Xueling smiled and said, "My purpose is naturally to seek revenge."
As Xueling spoke, her smiling eyes flashed with hatred. That look made An Yun curious about who she hated.
He also guessed that the person she hated was related to him, otherwise, he would not have come to him.
"Princess, just know that I'm here to help you. What I'm going to do will only benefit you and won't hurt you. I promise."
Xueling was unwilling to say it, and An Yun couldn't let it go after hearing that.
She immediately said, "You can't speak clearly. I can't keep you by my side. Go away! I don't need your help."
Xue Ling looked calm and said calmly: "Princess, I can help you and let you stay in Chong'an Palace and continue to be your princess. Don't you need my help in this way?"
An Yun didn't believe it at all. She sneered, "Oh! Do you think you are the emperor? Can you manage the affairs of Chong'an Palace?"
Xueling smiled and said, "If I say yes, then yes. If you don't believe me, I can let you return to Chong'an Palace tomorrow."
An Yun frowned, thinking that she was talking nonsense. He asked her to go back to Chong'an Palace? It's complete nonsense.
"The princess doesn't believe it?"
An Yun looked at her with sarcasm on his face, "Don't treat me like a fool, get out of my room."
How could An Yun believe it? Even if she told a ghost, no one would believe her.
Xue Ling was not annoyed by her attitude. Instead, she smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you come with me to meet my master now? If you know who he is, you will not disbelieve what I say."
Seeing Xueling's confident and arrogant look, An Yun felt strange and couldn't help but believe it a little.
"Who is your master? Just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?"
An Yun is very cautious and won't trust anyone easily.
Xueling was somewhat helpless. "Princess, there is no need for me to lie to you. If you don't believe me, just follow me and you will understand. We are facing a common enemy, so we must work together to achieve a win-win situation. Otherwise, I would not come to see you."
Seeing that Xueling was serious, An Yun couldn't help but believe it a little.
But there are still some concerns.
Xueling saw her movements and said hurriedly: "Princess, there is no need for me to lie to you. I am looking for you for cooperation, which must be a need. This need is not to harm you, so you don't have to worry about the risk of going with me. You and I have no grudges, and harming you will not benefit me at all."
