One sentence blew away the slightly charming atmosphere in the room.

Ever since he and Lin Yushu agreed to deal with Nan Huaishuo, Nan Rongjing has been sending people to monitor Nan Huaishuo day and night.

Finally, not long ago, he discovered that the deputy envoy of Northern Liao entered his mansion late at night.

Lin Yushu fell into deep thought. Although the trajectory of this life was completely different from the previous one, people would not change.

Before Nan Huaishuo ascended the throne in his previous life, Lin Yushu had never heard that he had any dealings with Bei Liao.

The fact that the deputy envoy of Northern Liao came to find Nan Huaishuo in this life shows that the changes that took place in this life forced a certain force in Northern Liao to contact Nan Huaishuo and even make a deal with him.

The only change in Northern Liao would be that the power of the Northern Liao Crown Prince would be damaged and he would be suppressed by the Eighth Prince!

Therefore, the person who contacted Nan Huaishuo was most likely the Crown Prince Tuoba Tao of Northern Liao, who wanted to seek Nan Huaishuo's help.

And what can Nan Huaishuo do to help him?

Thinking of the marriage requested by the Northern Liao prince...

Lin Yushu had a bad feeling, "I guess Nan Huaishuo might have colluded with Northern Liao's Crown Prince Tuoba Tao."

Nan Rongjing was once again impressed by Lin Yushu's extraordinary sharpness. It was amazing that a girl in the boudoir could guess the political situation of the two countries so accurately. Nan Rongjing's eyes revealed admiration and unconscious admiration.

"You are right. I sent someone to investigate the background of that deputy envoy and found that he was Tuoba Tao's man."

Nan Rongjing paused, his expression becoming somewhat ugly.

"Since Tuoba Tao has contacted Nan Huaishuo, he is probably trying to manipulate the marriage. You have to... be extra careful."

Hearing Nan Rongjing's concerned words, Lin Yushu felt uncomfortable again.

She nodded in panic, took out a bottle of detoxification pills from her arms, and placed it on the table with a "bang".

He lowered his head and muttered, "Remember to take your medicine on time, and let each other know if there is any problem," then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Nan Rongjing looked at Lin Yushu's leaving figure, his heart unconsciously felt hot, his heart beat very fast, and even his face felt hot.

Is this... the poison going to break out again? !

Nan Rongjing slowly leaned back in his chair, groping for the detoxification pill in his arms, ready to take one at any time.

This was the scene Mu Shang saw when he walked into the house.

Nan Rongjing leaned back in his chair with his head tilted back and his eyes closed, one hand on his chest and the other holding the medicine bottle.

Mu Shang immediately became nervous, "Your Highness, has the poison taken effect?"

Nan Rongjing's face flushed, and he frowned and nodded impatiently.

"My heart was beating hard and my whole body was hot."

Mu Shang was a little confused. These symptoms were different from his usual ones.

"Do you have abdominal pain? When did it start?"

"Not yet. When Miss Lin left, I started to feel uncomfortable..."

Mu Shang thought about it and seemed to understand something. After a moment, Nan Rongjing's complexion slowly returned to normal.

"It's really strange. The insect's actions have become more and more strange recently. It always makes me suddenly feel anxious and hot, but it calms down after a while."

Mu Shang looked at Nan Rongjing muttering in confusion, and after enduring it again and again, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Um... Your Highness, could it be that... because, uh... because... Miss Lin, you..."

Mu Shang grew up with Nan Rongjing, and he also developed a cold-hearted personality. Not only does he stay away from women, he even stays away from strangers.

But Mu Shang is the commander of the guards after all, and he is very familiar with the guards in the mansion. He has also seen them being trapped in love, which is very similar to how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks now!

Nan Rongjing looked at Mu Shang with a gloomy expression and cold eyes.

"Are you saying that the strange movement of the Gu in my body was caused by Lin Yushu?"

Mu Shang: ...

Mu Shang gritted his teeth and took the risk of being dragged out and beaten, and broke the window paper in front of Nan Rongjing.

"What I mean is that maybe, possibly, probably... you like Miss Lin!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Rongjing's first reaction was that it was ridiculous, and he even wanted to let Mu Shang receive the fifty strokes of the cane directly.

Then, Nan Rongjing denied it in his heart. This was impossible. He was a dying man and no one had loved him since he was a child.

Nan Rongjing couldn't even name another person who had loved him in his life except Mr. Shen.

How could a cold-blooded man like him, who is loved by no one, like a woman?

It's impossible!

Nan Rongjing kept denying it in his heart, and even unconsciously defended himself to Mu Shang.

"Impossible, this is too ridiculous. Go call Shen Mutang over. There must be something wrong with the insect."

Mu Shang was speechless and could only shake his head and leave the house silently.

Nan Rongjing was left alone facing the empty room, confused at one moment, incredulous at the next, with an expression that changed unpredictably.

-

On May 18th, it was the Empress Dowager's 60th birthday. Emperor Ming invited all civil and military officials to celebrate the birthday at the Jiuqing Palace.

Before the palace banquet began, Nan Shuning took Lin Yushu and accompanied Pingyang *** to meet the Queen Mother.

Nan Shuning and Lin Yushu successively presented birthday gifts to the empress dowager. Lin Yushu prepared a red gold headdress with a pattern of a phoenix resting on auspicious clouds. It was finely crafted, gorgeous and dignified, and was very much loved by the empress dowager.

Nan Shuning prepared a round fan that she had embroidered herself. There were three women embroidered on the fan. At a glance, one could tell that they were the Queen Mother, Miss Pingyang, and Nan Shuning. Their expressions were very lifelike.

The Queen Mother's eyes turned red after taking one look and she couldn't stop praising him.

After chatting for a while, Pingyang sent Lin Yushu and Nan Shuning to the warm room to have snacks, and stayed behind to talk with the empress dowager.

As soon as Lin Yushu and the other person left, Pingyang's smiling face immediately turned into a frown.

"Mother, the matter of the marriage with Northern Liao... Alas, I know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but Shu Ning is my only daughter. If my brother really insists on letting Shu Ning go to Northern Liao, why not let me go with her, and I will be relieved of my worries in this life..."

The Queen Mother knew that Lady Pingyang was concerned about the Eighth Prince of Northern Liao, and that they were deeply in love. Lady Pingyang even remained unmarried for his sake.

"Don't overthink it. Even if the emperor wants Shu Ning to marry, he will definitely ask for my opinion. I will definitely not agree then. Just relax."

Miss Pingyang held back her tears and nodded gently.

Her life was extremely mediocre. Even though she was a princess, she never lived a happy life.

Only the eighth prince Tuoba Che is the brightest light in her dark life.

It was not that Pingyang *** did not guess Emperor Ming's intention. It was because she understood Emperor Ming that she knew that allowing Nan Shuning to marry would indeed help disrupt the Northern Liao court.

But that was her daughter, her daughter with Tuoba Che. She was absolutely unwilling to abandon her daughter and live alone. She could not go against her brother's order, so she would go to Northern Liao with her daughter and die together.

Perhaps, before she died, she could see again the figure that had haunted her for decades.
