After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

After returning home from court, Nangong Jin went straight to the backyard.

The house is decorated festively, as if it is time to celebrate the New Year.

Nangong Yuan was reading in the warm room. When she saw him rushing in, she guessed that something had happened.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong in the court?"

Nangong Jin nodded: "That's right, the new champion Shen Jingyi has been impeached for robbing a woman and killing innocent people."

"Sure enough, some people can't wait."

"Did you know someone was going to take action?"

"Not only do I know that, I also know Shen Jingyi's character. Moreover, the position that His Majesty gave him is probably selected from among the six ministers. If it is the Ministry of War, it will be of great significance to us, so... that's why I want my brother to help."

Nangong Yuan came straight to the point and said it clearly.

She always maintains the greatest trust in her own people, so she tells these things whenever possible and never hides anything.

However, most of the secrets she hid were impossible to confess to anyone.

"You guessed well. The position His Majesty gave him was the Minister of War. However, at the court meeting today, Wang Ye brought a group of people to impeach him, and now His Majesty has imprisoned him."

Nangong Yuan sneered: "The things the other party brought out must be quite important, otherwise Your Majesty would not be so harsh."

"Well, if Shen Jingyi can't produce evidence, he's going to suffer a heavy loss this time."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan looked sarcastic.

"What they want to do is just to hinder Shen Jing from taking office. As long as they are given time, it means that the important position of the Minister of War is likely to change hands. Who do you think did this?"

Nangong Jin thought for a moment and shook his head: "I really can't guess. Since it involves the Ministry of War, naturally anyone could be involved."

"Ha, that's right. The other side wants to bring someone down, but I don't agree. We have few people in the Ministry of War. Now you and your father are both in the frontier, so we must have someone in a high position in Kyoto."

This way, no matter what happens, at least they can protect themselves.

Hearing this, Nangong Jin looked at her with a gratified look.

"A Yuan is indeed a remarkable woman. She can see things more clearly than many of the officials in the court."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "Brother, you are too kind. I just saw the danger in advance."

She is indeed right, isn't she?

Half a year ago, when Nangong Yuan was waiting for the autumn examination, she had already thought of Shen Jingyi.

She saw it earlier than everyone else and all forces.

Even when no one knew Shen Jing's results, she had already made preparations.

This preparation allowed her to watch the fire from the other side and offer help when necessary.

"I have also seen from today's court meeting that the struggle in Kyoto is more intense than I imagined."

Nangong Yuan curled her lips, her expression somewhat subtle: "That's natural. The situation in the court is ever-changing, and one careless move could lead to death. How can they not fight?"

If you don't fight, then wait for others to fight you.

If you don't participate, you will be kicked to a position from which you can never climb up, and this way you will never stand on the side.

Everyone is fighting to survive, for wealth and power.

"Alas, we were not in Kyoto, and we didn't know the situation had become so serious."

Nangong Yuan handed him a cup of tea and said, "In fact, the situation had already deteriorated when Your Majesty was assassinated."

At that time, Nangong Yuan didn't know why this happened, but when he watched the battle from the outside, he seemed to have discovered something.

"These people keep attacking us. We can defend against them for a while, but we can't defend against them forever."

"Your Majesty is at least surrounded by the Imperial Guards and the Jinwu Guards, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"How can we say for sure? If the other party is very familiar with the situation around Your Majesty, it is not surprising to kill him." Nangong Yuan did not think that he could rest easy.

At that time, she rushed back when she realized something was wrong, otherwise the emperor would have died long ago.

By then, the situation will only be more complicated than it is now.

Who...wants to muddy the waters?

Nangong Yuan began to think, and a figure flashed through her mind.

"No way...how could it be him?"

She remembered that in the plot, the villain rebelled after the eldest prince forced the emperor to abdicate, and the emperor was dead at that time.

So the villains launched an attack on Kyoto, but were suppressed by Gu Zi'an and his ministers at the time, and he died in the rebellion.

"How could the time be advanced so much? This shouldn't be the case. If it's not him... then who could it be?"

Judging from the current situation, it seems that a chaotic situation is most beneficial to Xiao Heyun.

But... Nangong Yuan knew where the plot was going, so she rejected this idea.

"Who is that?"

She pinched her fingers, her expression subtly dangerous.

"No matter what, His Majesty is probably really angry this time. Shen Jing is already there. If we delay any further, I'm afraid my position will be in jeopardy."

Nangong Yuan said: "We don't need to interfere with the rest of the matter. Someone will naturally solve it."

Seeing her so sure, Nangong Jin frowned and asked, "Is it the Night King?"

Nangong Yuan, who was calm and composed, was stunned by this question and started coughing violently.

"Cough cough."

“Be careful, it’s really…”

Nangong Yuan held the tea and said after a while: "If we intervene, I'm afraid the Hubei people will take notice of us. Besides, Shen Jingyi's position is special, so he doesn't need to get involved. So it's the best choice for him to come forward."

"What you said makes sense, but A Yuan, I think Ye Wang is not a good person. Did you get to know him after the incident in Hongzhou?"

What he meant must be how two people fall in love with each other.

But that was a bit of a euphemism.

Hearing this, she nodded: "Yes, I was investigating a case at the time, so I went to Qingzhou."

"I knew it. This Xiao Heyun is really something. He didn't say anything."

"It's not his fault. I didn't let him reveal my whereabouts."

At that time, she was busy earning points and completing tasks, so of course she didn't want to return to Kyoto.

Otherwise, what else can you do living in the backyard?

"Oh, forget it, I don't want to say more about your affairs. Just know it in your heart. Your family will naturally support you with all their strength."

Nangong Yuan nodded, her expression very gentle: "Thank you, brother."

"What are you thanking me for? What you did in Kyoto was even more dangerous, and I didn't even thank you."

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

The danger on the battlefield is visible, but there are undercurrents in Kyoto, and no one knows where the danger will come from.

Many of the things Nangong Yuan did were actually very eye-catching.

No matter if it was the rescue back then, or... Shen Jing now.

It would be much more dangerous if someone targeted you.

"I'll leave a few men for you before I leave."

Nangong Yuan said: "Okay, don't worry, I will do things in a safe way."
