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

Xiao Heyun paused, looking somewhat indescribably lonely.

"Your Highness, although the young lady kept this matter from you, she did it for your own good. After all, your leg injury was too severe back then."

After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time Tao Zhu was so respectful to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Heyun found it a little funny.

"It's okay, I know it's not your fault."

Tao Zhu pursed her lips: "Didn't they say that Madam Qing Yi was hard to please and was traveling around? Why did she suddenly come back?"

"I plan to stand up, so naturally I have to find someone with superb medical skills to perform a play for me."

Although he didn't know what his plan was, Tao Zhu also felt that this move was a bit risky.

"Ah? Doesn't that mean you are instructing someone to provoke danger? Why did the prince suddenly do this?"

Xiao Heyun said: "Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to take the risk. When the fight breaks out, I won't be able to take care of you, so you have to be extremely careful at home."

Seeing his serious expression, Tao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"What exactly is the prince planning to do?"

"This is something a little girl like you doesn't need to know."

Tao Zhu endured it, but finally said: "No matter what, Your Majesty should be careful, otherwise the young lady will definitely be worried if she knows."

Hearing this, Xiao Heyun clenched his fingers.

At this moment, the silent longing was like a tide, almost drowning him.

He wanted to hug her immediately, but he could only wait quietly in this longing.

"I understand. I will take care of this matter. Just take care of the family."

Tao Zhu nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood.

But she just felt something was strange in her heart, a feeling she couldn't describe.

"My Lord, are you here today for this matter as well?"

Xiao Heyun shook his head: "I just heard that Madam was ill, so I came to see her. It's a good opportunity to see if there are any blind people who want to deal with the Nangong family."

"Not recently, maybe it's because the young lady is back."

Nangong Yuan was conferred the title of Earl, and that group of people did not dare to look down on the Nangong family.

She is very popular now, and it is not enough to maintain a good relationship with her, let alone be hostile to her.

So the Nangong family has been quite quiet these days, and it is not as chaotic as it was some time ago.

"That's good."

Xiao Heyun's expression finally softened a little. He looked at Tao Zhu with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"what happened?"

Tao Zhu felt creepy when he looked at her with those deep eyes.

"Do you... do you know what medicine A Yuan gave me?"

Hearing this, Tao Zhu shook her head and said, "I don't know either. At that time, the young lady just asked us to pretend to be Madam Qingyi. As for the treatment, I thought she just came to see you."

At that time, Tao Zhu didn't realize that it was Nangong Yuan who saved him.

Because she had never heard of such a miracle medicine in the world that could heal such a serious injury immediately.

Hearing this, Xiao Heyun looked thoughtful.

······

Indeed, there are many strange things about Nangong Yuan.

Whether it is her abilities, insights, or those bizarre ideas, they all make people feel like the dazzling sun.

And...this is not the first time that Nangong Yuan has shown such ability.

Xiao Heyun had more and more guesses in his mind, and thought about what she had said before.

"What would happen to you if I disappeared one day?"

At that time, he thought that was Nangong Yuan's evasive words. What if... could she really do it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Heyun's heart felt like it was being held tightly by a hand, and he couldn't calm down at all.

"A Yuan...what exactly...have you been hiding from me?"

Nangong Yuan is full of secrets, and when she looks at people, her eyes are filled with unconcealable loneliness and solitude.

She seemed to be standing here, but had never been integrated into this place.

All of this made Xiao Heyun worried and scared.

But he couldn't say anything. He didn't want to become the chains that bound her, trapping the soaring eagle in a cage.

That was not a situation that Nangong Yuan would like, nor was it something he wanted to give.

·····

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that he was in a daze, Tao Zhu couldn't help but call out a few times in a low voice.

Only when he heard her calling him in a low voice did Xiao Heyun come back to his senses.

"It's okay, I'm just asking."

Tao Zhu looked worried. Is everything really okay?

Look at his expression, why is it so ugly.

It was almost like he was sad and about to cry.

"No matter what, Your Majesty, you still have to take care of yourself. Our young lady will surely be back soon."

Xiao Heyun nodded and forced a smile: "I know."

She would come back, but she would never belong anywhere, to anyone.

No wonder Nangong Yuan was never willing to make any promises to him. Perhaps she knew that she would disappear one day, so she said nothing.

So... has she been carrying such a secret all these years?

How strong and how much faith do you need to have to get to this point?

For the first time, Xiao Heyun doubted his decision.

Will this lead to good results?

·······In other matters, he could accept bad consequences, but he didn’t want to accept Nangong Yuan.

"Madam Qingyi has prescribed some medicine. You should personally supervise her taking it."

Tao Zhu nodded: "I understand. I will be very careful about what I eat."

"That's good. I will send someone to stay in the mansion to protect you. Don't go out unless you have to in the next few days."

Hearing him say this, Tao Zhu knew what they were going to do.

Maybe...it's time to really deal with King Li.

But the young lady is not in Kyoto, so she may not be able to see that scene, which is a bit of a pity.

"Yes, I understand."

Tao Zhu quickly agreed to his request and followed him back to the front yard.

Mrs. Shen was extremely satisfied with Xiao Heyun.

Two years ago, she had some complaints about Xiao Heyun's broken leg and identity, but now she thought that maybe she didn't need to be so harsh.

It is so rare to find people who love each other in this world. It is such a pity to miss them like this.

Besides... Nangong Yuan really likes him, and even Tao Zhu is willing to serve him.

In the past, Gu Zian didn’t even have this kind of treatment.

Besides, A Yuan also said that she didn't like Gu Zian, but as for Xiao Heyun, she didn't say anything.

"Ma'am, since you are fine, I won't stay any longer."

"Okay, Your Majesty, take care of yourself and walk slowly."

Mrs. Shen knew that he was very busy, and it was a great honor for him to take some time off to visit her.

So she didn't ask them to stay and sent them away after dinner.

Tao Zhu followed Xiao Heyun's instructions and strictly protected the entire mansion.

·······

She looked at the palace commander who was on high alert and sighed, "Miss, when will you come back?"
