The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 237

Fan'er always felt that her status was not worthy of this jacket. She was silent for a while, and her fingertips gently slid over the silk at hand. The jacket on her body was not only beautiful and exquisite, but also the lining A layer of relaxed and soft cotton, with a high neckline, made her look different from ordinary maids.

The lack of cumbersome lace and embroidery made her round face more pure and beautiful. Simple things are often more suitable for her identity. After a glance, she hardly dared to look at herself at the moment, lowered her head and murmured mumbling to himself. "This piece of material is too inappropriate, Miss, I'm not comfortable wearing it..."

"Xu Fangzhai's shopkeeper said that this jacket is very warm for people to wear, so he also ordered one for you. It looks good." Su Min smiled, but didn't say anything else, as if this matter was not worth mentioning at all. .

"I'm not a young lady, so I don't need to wear such a beautiful jacket." Fan'er really couldn't bear it, her eyes were red, as if it wasn't just the jacket that warmed her, she followed this master, I have never regretted it in these years.

Su Min smiled and sighed in a low voice. When she felt helpless about Fan'er's sentimentality, she took her hand and asked her to sit at the table.

"You've used your life to protect me, so don't cry because I'll make you a padded jacket."

Ban'er nodded, and as soon as she entered the door, she was called by the lady to change the jacket. She almost forgot what she came to report, so she couldn't help but slapped her head and shouted in her heart that it's not a big deal, her memory is too good Difference.

"Miss, Shopkeeper Lei came here at noon, and he wanted me to tell you that he has done a good job and the things are on the way..."

"very good."

She responded with a smile, as if what she talked about today was just the most ordinary and inconspicuous transaction among thousands of transactions.

Royal Palace.

Putting down the documents in his hand, the man in a thick blue robe glanced at the hall, his tone was unexpectedly calm.

Sensing the strangeness, Mr. Wen didn't even change his purple and black court clothes, so he hurried back to the palace, wanting to confirm the doubts in his heart, after all, it was hard for him to rest assured about such a big event.

"Master Wen, you want to ask why Nangong Yuan was spared in the first place."

Mr. Wen's eyes flashed. If he was not [-]% sure, the emperor would not have said so plainly. He did not want to join forces at the beginning. Standing behind this eccentric, cruel and indifferent prince, he just watched Among his means of doing things and a clear mind.

Thinking of this, his tone softened, and his anxiety gradually receded from his heart. "This minister never thought that the emperor would let the tiger go back to the mountain to leave future troubles. Now that this trouble has been caused, the emperor doesn't seem to care. It should be because he thinks that the other party is not an opponent. Since the emperor is so confident, this minister also feels that there is no need to worry too much."

"Of course I have my own plan. If Nangong Yuan was killed in the first place, those people will of course live their lives as cowards in order to protect themselves. Even if they can catch some people, most of them will slip through the net. And as long as Nangong As soon as Yuan gets the chance to fight back to the capital, these foolish and loyal people will of course support and follow, and what they have to do then is to uproot them once, and never let a single person who has a different heart be spared."

The man who spoke sat on the highest golden seat. He was about 24 or [-] years old, with profound facial features, thick eyebrows raised slightly, and eagle-like eyes, dark and unfathomable, with an arrogant and dangerous expression. .

Hidden behind this kind of words is too much cruelty and blood that have not yet been uttered, and it is already shocking to say it from the mouth of the young man in front of him.

Because what he wants to kill is not just one or two hundred people, and perhaps the involvement is very extensive, and the literary inquisition of the previous dynasty is nothing more than a mere ear.

This is not just a small battle, perhaps it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let half of them go.

Mr. Wen pondered for a long time, and finally smiled with his lips curled up. His eyes did not leave the figure on the seat, and a man's appreciation flashed in his black eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is ready to put a long line to catch big fish."

A successful emperor can never have clean hands. If he wants to stand on that high ground and consolidate his regime, he must sacrifice a lot.

"It shouldn't be difficult for Mr. Wen to investigate these people." With an indifferent smile on his thin lips, Nan Gongzheng took a golden-red booklet from his hand, handed it to the palace servants around him, and passed it on to Mr. Wen at hand.

Master Wen remained silent, took the booklet, opened it gently, and couldn't help but look down.

Some of the names above are familiar to him.

"Wei Chen will do it right away." This list must be the most important leader following Nangong Yuan. Nangong Zheng said so, and the task he gave himself was to investigate the hiding places of these people, and then...

Of course it is resolved, the cleaner the better.

Nan Gongzheng raised his palm suddenly, and the lines on the palm of his right hand were clearly visible. All of them seemed to have a reddish color, and under the light of the candle, they looked even more weird. "Don't startle the snake."

"What does His Majesty mean?" Master Wen frowned slightly, testing the emperor's mind.

He laughed softly, spoke casually, and looked lazy, as if he hadn't reached the critical moment of vigilance. "Why is Mr. Wen pretending to be confused?"

"Your Majesty is thinking of his compatriots, so he decided to save his life?" Master Wen frowned even deeper, letting go of Nangong Yuan's private actions, which really made him unable to understand Nangong Zheng at the moment.

Nangong Zheng raised his eyebrows, slightly narrowed his dangerous and gloomy black eyes, and sarcastically. "After following me for so long, Mr. Wen has become more and more kind. No wonder I heard that you have the heart of a Bodhisattva."

"My humble minister is really stupid, please show me clearly." Lord Wen lowered his eyes a little ashamedly, and said.

Nan Gongzheng looked at the dark night far away meaningfully, and his smile was hidden in a deep corner, which made people feel unreachable. "Doesn't Nangong Yuan like to fight against me? This time, he won't be alarmed too early, and he will be convinced to lose. Let him understand this truth. Even if he has almost the same power as me, he won't be able to win."

Only then did Lord Wen let out a long sigh of relief. This man was still the Nan Gongzheng he was familiar with. He was cold-blooded and cruel in his bones.

It is precisely because of such courage and courage that he was able to restrain this golden dragon chair, he thought so.

Nangong Zheng's voice drifted over from the cold wind, and he couldn't hear the emotions of ordinary people. "Master Wen only needs to report their current situation. If you watch a good show, you will feel less boring."

Master Wen opened the door and walked out. The cold wind was blowing. A black figure bowed his head to salute him. He saw at a glance that it was Ling Feng, the emperor's most trusted bodyguard.

Ling Feng waited for Master Wen to leave completely before walking into the palace and whispering something in Nangong Zheng's ear.

Just one sentence, already made Nangong coup change his face.

He frowned subconsciously, and he didn't look as relaxed as before, and there was no sign of being pleasant. "So many medicinal materials were transferred in a short period of time?"

"Yes, my subordinates also find it incredible, and the other party didn't show up, maybe he's going to do more than that." Ling Feng nodded and continued to ask. "Master, could it be the enemy's spy?"

A secretive emotion flashed in Nangong Zheng's eyes, he changed the subject and gave an order. "Just act as if you don't know anything, and stand still. I really want to see what big business the other party wants to do."

He should have already guessed who the other party was, and whether it was an enemy or a friend.

Nan Gongyuan and those followers would not care about the lives of those people, not to mention that he blocked the news so tightly that no one else should know about it.

"But, master, aren't you planning to end this matter in a few days?" Ling Feng still didn't understand, so for the first time, he asked so many questions.

After all, the master said there would be no time to waste.

Do you want to let this unknown person go to treat the people in Xidu?

"Ling Feng." He suddenly called out the names of the people around him.

"The subordinate is here." Ling Feng was on guard, as if he was ready to take over the task of Nangong Zheng immediately.

Unexpectedly, what Nan Gongzheng said fit his life in a way that he had never thought of. "You have been with me for so many years, it seems that you have never admired any woman."

Ling Feng was puzzled, and was slightly taken aback: "Master..."

Nangong Zheng looked at him lightly with a smile on his face, as if it was just a normal chat. "If you have a woman you like, do you want her to listen to you in everything, obedient like a harmless little lamb, or hope she has her own ideas and opinions in everything, and you can even tolerate and trust for her, Even change yourself and let her let go?"

Ling Feng thought carefully for a while before answering cautiously. "The subordinates have no such experience. If you think about it, it should be the former. For the latter, this kind of woman seems difficult to control, and it sounds thrilling."

"It turns out that you like simple wooden women. Next time I see a suitable one, I will do a good deed." Nangong Zheng raised his eyebrows and said casually.

Ling Feng was contradictory, and his eyes flickered: "However, if it is a woman next to the master, it seems to be a more dangerous thing to have no thoughts of her own. The master has really created a problem for the subordinates."

"I want to give her a chance."

Nangong Zheng's eyes sank and became dark. He withdrew his eyes and repeated this sentence in a low voice.

Also, give yourself a chance.

"Miss Su."

The rough and heroic soldier was completely at a loss when he met this slender man who looked like he could be crushed if he squeezed it.

"Master Zhao, please sit down." Su Min stretched out his hand, with a gentle smile and a calm expression, and said softly.

He laughed along with him and asked, "I don't know Miss Su, what exactly do you want my subordinates to do?"
