System, the stylist did something to his waist again today!

"Mo'er and Ming'er have been getting along really well during this period. They almost forgot about the existence of their father, the Emperor."

Nangong Tuo leaned on a soft couch covered with fluff, wearing a black velvet robe. Against the backdrop of white fluff, his perfect figure looked even more slender.

He lay on his side with one hand leaning on a soft pillow, his powerful wheat-colored chest muscles faintly visible under his pajamas, and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses adorned his jade-like face.

The metal chain of his silver-rimmed glasses was intertwined in his waist-length black hair, adding a touch of temptation unique to a mature man. He held a book with a dark red cover in one hand, squinting his narrow eyes, and sighed indifferently.

The beautiful servants beside him who were massaging his shoulders and legs were just talking and doing their own jobs with their eyes and noses focused. Anyone who dared to say anything more would have to report to the King of Hell the next second. The saying "serving the king is like serving a tiger" is not a joke.

The confidant standing next to Nangong Tuo listened to his words one after another, paused slightly, tried to figure out his thoughts in his mind, then leaned over slightly and spoke in his ear with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are usually at odds with each other, but now they have suddenly joined forces. I believe they have encountered immeasurable troubles. The more troubles they encounter, the less likely they are to discover your plan. This is actually a good thing."

Nangong Tuo raised his eyes to glance at Lu Xu, then waved his hand and asked the servants around him to retreat. They stood up as if they had received the order and saluted him with a touch of the shoulder.

After they finished doing all this, they turned around and left. They left very quietly, for fear of offending Nangong Tuo and ending up with a mutilated corpse.

"My two children are too violent. Mo'er enjoys collecting corpses. There are more than ten members of the parliament who impeach and report him every day, but this child is not afraid at all and has no mercy at all."

"Although Ming'er has no special hobbies, he is a reckless man with courage but no strategy. He also has a hot temper and tends to act impulsively. If they are allowed to become the future kings of the empire, I am afraid that the foundation of the empire that I, Nangong Tuo, have worked hard for decades to build will be destroyed in their hands."

Nangong Tuo closed the book in his hand, sat up and took off his silver-rimmed glasses, then gently pinched his brows and sighed, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his words.

"Your Majesty, the two princes are both outstanding people. It is understandable that they have such personalities. Moreover, you are in your prime and it is still a long time before you appoint the crown prince. As long as you are in power, the two princes will not cause any trouble."

He took the silver-rimmed glasses and poured a cup of tea for Nangong Tuo. After handing it to him, he said something else. It seemed like a compliment, but in fact it was a reminder for him not to worry too much, so as not to hurt his body.

"It's easy to say, but it's too difficult to do. Just look at it yourself. When I'm still in this world, they can fight to the death. If I'm gone, I'm afraid the royal family will be turned upside down."

Nangong Tuo snorted and laughed, not paying any attention to Lu Xu's words. After taking the tea, he took a sip and enjoyed the familiar tea aroma and sweet taste.

This tea reminded him of the moonlit night many years ago. The camellia flowers under the moon were as beautiful as a painting, and the girl standing among the flowers was as beautiful as a banished fairy.

The girl was only twenty years old. She was wearing a light and beautiful blue dress, a round straw hat inlaid with white camellia flowers and a white ribbon, and carrying a small bag. She was running happily among the flowers, holding his hand.

[A-Tuo, my feet hurt so much~ Can you carry me home? I'll make you some tea when I get home, the kind you like best, okay~]

The girl took off her high heels, stepped on his instep barefoot, hooked her arms around his neck, rubbed him coquettishly, smiled brightly, and spoke in the soft Wu dialect of the Jiangnan water town.

[Well, you have to keep your word. ]

He still remembered how he responded to her. After saying that, he really hugged her, held up her high heels, and walked slowly back home.

He also drank the tea she brewed herself, which was really delicious, with a faint scent of jasmine. He didn't know what method she used. He took the tea leaves back himself, but even if jasmine flowers were mixed in, there was no floral scent.

Later... Nangong Tuo thought of this, and his brows suddenly showed a trace of slight sadness as he looked at the teacup. He lowered his head and took another sip of tea, but there was still no jasmine scent.

Later, his father cruelly separated him from the girl and forced him to marry Nangong Ming's mother, the current empress.

After that, he kept sending people to look for the girl, but there was no news. Instead, he brought back many women who looked extremely similar to the girl.

Others all said that he doted on Nangong Mo to the point of being willing to do anything for him, but only he himself knew that the reason he loved him so much was because his mother looked most like his first love.

And Nangong Mo’s eyes were exactly the same shape as his first love’s eyes. If there was just a simple smile and warmth inside, they would be even more similar.

Nangong Tuo became an emperor, but he could not have the company of his sweetheart. This was the biggest regret of his life, but he never gave up looking for his sweetheart.

Although he still has no results until now, and even let his children know his thoughts, he can only keep it in secret to prevent them from interfering and doing extreme things to her innocent daughter.

"Why doesn't this tea taste like jasmine?"

Nangong Tuo put down the teacup and looked at Lu Xu with a frown, as if he was questioning why the tea smell was wrong, and also as if he was questioning him why he sent so many people but still couldn't find any news about his sweetheart?

"Your Majesty, calm down. I..."

When Lu Lu was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, which interrupted his speech and made his words choke in his throat. At that time, voices were heard outside the door.

"Your Majesty, someone used an intelligent device to drop a piece of information into the yard from the air. Our people have finally gone there, but there are some things about this information that we dare not handle on our own. I hope Your Majesty will make the decision personally."

The person knocking on the door held the document carefully. After saying this, he waited anxiously. He now felt like he was holding a hot potato.

This hot potato is so hot that if it is not taken away, he will probably get burned. This is not something that can be discussed openly.

"Please bring it in."

Nangong Tuo no longer cared about Luxu's expression, waved his hand to tell him not to talk, and turned to let the people outside in. Since someone dared to deliver something above the royal family, this thing must have a complicated origin. Whose masterpiece was it? What was the purpose? He would probably know in a moment.

The person outside the door got permission, opened the door and walked in. At that time, Lu Xu had already stood beside Nangong Tuo. His emotions just now had already been hidden by him, and no trace of them could be seen.

"What is the information? Bring it here."

"Your Majesty, please take a look. I am not in a position to speak."

Nangong Tuo's question made the person who came to deliver the information not know how to answer, so he simply handed over the information and said nothing. He was afraid that he would say something wrong. He came in by walking, and he might leave lying down.

Nangong Tuo paused for a moment after hearing this, then glanced at Lu Xu, who nodded slightly. He walked up to the man and took the information from him, "You can go back."

"Yes, Mr. Lu, your majesty."

After receiving the order, the person delivering the information saluted the two men on the shoulder and quickly withdrew. Looking at his back one after another, one always felt that he was about to flee.

After taking a look at the brown paper bag in his hand, he couldn't understand why, but he guessed that the information was not simple. He turned around and walked to Nangong Tuo and handed him the information with both hands.

Nangong Tuo took it, opened the brown paper bag lazily, and took out the information from it. Before he opened the information, a few photos fell out.

Nangong Tuo paused slightly, reached out and picked up one of the photos. When he saw the person in the photo whom he had been thinking about for a long time, his pupils trembled and he sat up straight.

"Zhen'er..."

Nangong Tuo's call of "Zhen'er" left Lu Xu stunned for a moment, before he realized why that guy had fled away. He must have obtained incredible information.

Nangong Tuo's whole demeanor changed from lazy to anxious. After he finished looking at the photo of Yan Zhener alone in his hand, he held it in his arms as if it were a treasure.

After a long while, he went to get other photos. In these photos, there were photos of Yan Zhener holding a swaddled baby while buying baby products; there were photos of her holding a two-year-old boy flying a kite in the park; there were also photos of her wearing a hospital gown, holding a five-year-old boy with tears in her eyes, and crying...
