Chapter 1989
Not a Noble Consort 10
Nangong Fan took Princess Huaining to Ci'an Temple, and the mother and her two children lived not far from Ci'an Temple.
The King of Southeast was a devout Buddhist and frequently visited Ci'an Temple to offer incense and pay homage to the Buddha.
True love will not miss this Dharma assembly.
My two sons don't believe in Buddhism and won't come to the temple.
The personnel protecting them were then divided into two groups.
Because Zhen'ai is away from home, there are more people protecting her than protecting her two sons.
The King of Southeast did not want the mother and her two children to be exposed, so he did not send out many people to protect them.
Nangong Fan dispatched twice as many men and killed all those who were protecting them.
Nangong Fan personally killed his two brothers.
Although these two had learned martial arts, they had never fought to the death, unlike Nangong Fan, who fought his way out of the dangerous den of demons in the Prince's Mansion.
The two of them were no match for Nangong Fan.
Nangong Fan had someone set a fire and threw the two brothers' bodies into it.
He didn't kill his true love.
His good father would surely be devastated to hear the news of his two beloved sons' deaths, so it's better to keep his true love to comfort his father.
Look how considerate his son is!
Upon receiving the news, the King of the Southeast immediately rode to the outer residence, only to find it engulfed in flames.
The people inside the house naturally could not survive.
The King of Southeast still harbored a hope that his true love and two sons would escape as soon as possible.
however……
The King of the Southeast coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
The King of Southeast fell, and Nangong Fan pretended to be a filial son, not taking the opportunity to seize power.
Anyway, the throne will be his sooner or later.
Currently, most of the people in the Prince's mansion are still the Southeast King's men, and he will not make a move until he is absolutely certain of success.
The King of Southeast brought his true love to his palace.
With her son dead, there's no need to hide her true love anymore.
True love couldn't withstand the blow and collapsed, even weaker than the King of the Southeast.
The King of the Southeast was skilled in martial arts and in good health, but his beloved was very delicate. After lying down for only a few days, she followed her son in death.
The King of the Southeast suffered another blow and continued to rest in bed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nangong Fan added something else to the Southeast King's medicine.
The King of the Southeast's health was deteriorating, and he quickly realized it.
The King of the Southeast summoned Nangong Fan to his bedside: "As expected of my son, he's even more ruthless than me!"
Nangong Fan smiled and said, "You flatter me. I am unworthy of such praise."
The King of the Southeast sneered: "You'll feel ashamed?"
Nangong Fan responded with a smile.
The King of the Southeast: "Alright, let's be frank. The military tally and seal are in the secret room, and the switch for the secret room is on the wall above my bed."
He had a son who was even more ruthless than him, and he admitted defeat.
Back then, he only killed his own brother, but he didn't dare to kill his father.
He hated Nangong Fan for killing his son with the person he loved most, and he hated Nangong Fan for killing him, his father, but he had to admit that Nangong Fan was more cunning than him.
Nangong Fan was able to find even his most cherished possessions and his son, which shows his strength.
The ancestors of the Nangong family must be very happy to have such an heir.
The Nangong family's long-held goal may be achieved through Nangong Fan.
Therefore, the King of the Southeast entrusted Nangong Fan with the military tally and seal before his death, enabling him to successfully subdue his subordinates and take control of the entire Southeast Region. However, he would not let Nangong Fan have an easy time.
Southeast King: 'That Huaining is a member of the royal family...'
Nangong Fan: "Father, rest assured, I will never marry a member of the royal family."
The King of the Southeast: "No, you must marry the princess to lull the royal family into a false sense of security."
The King of the Southeast knew that his son was actually a lovesick fool who had fallen in love with the emperor's fiancée.
He supported this, and it would be best if the emperor were cuckolded.
But he didn't get married because of that woman.
He actually thought of keeping the position of the legal wife for that woman!
Ha, you idiot!
To spite his son, he forced him to marry, specifically the woman's sister-in-law.
Once the Nangong family seizes power, how will his foolish son deal with his rightful wife and the woman he loves?
Unfortunately, he won't live to see that good show.
But it doesn't matter, he can imagine it.
He has already sent someone to the capital to find an opportunity to drug that woman.
Of course, it wasn't a drug that would kill that woman.
For women, that's a magic potion!
After taking that medicine, a woman's skin will be better, and she will maintain her youthful appearance for at least twenty years!
It's just that they're not so friendly to the men who have sex with that woman!
The King of the Southeast: "While I'm still alive, you and Princess Huaining should hold your wedding!"
Nangong Fan is helpless!
In order to successfully take over power from the King of the Southeast, he had no choice but to do as the King of the Southeast said!
The Prince's Mansion began preparations for the wedding.
Princess Huaining was overjoyed and personally wrote an invitation, which she sent to the capital to the Emperor and Duanmu Ying.
She specifically instructed that the invitation must be delivered to Duanmu Ying.
How could she not know that Nangong Fan liked Duanmu Ying!
She wanted Duanmu Ying to witness Nangong Fan and her wedding ceremony with her own eyes!
Princess Huaining had a good idea, but she didn't consider that the emperor could not possibly leave the capital at will.
Moreover, it was to go to the territory of a disloyal king of a different surname.
Only someone with a screw loose would come here to die.
Duanmu Ying, being the future empress, would not be able to come.
Both of them were happy to receive the invitation, but their happiness was not entirely genuine.
Duanmu Ying had mixed feelings. After all, she used to like Nangong Fan, and even though she didn't like him anymore, she still wanted him to continue liking her.
Wasn't Nangong Fan always infatuated with her?
Why is he suddenly going to marry Princess Huaining?
Just as the book says, most men are fickle.
Duanmu Ying looked towards the palace. She didn't have much confidence in Dongfang Zeng, after all, he was the emperor.
Can an emperor really stay with one woman for his entire life?
He thought, "The ministers in the court wouldn't allow it!"
Duanmu Ying sighed.
The longer she stayed in this ancient world, the more timid she became, and she no longer had the unbridled spirit she had when she first transmigrated.
Ancient people were simply less advanced than modern people; they were not less intelligent than modern people.
On the contrary, many of them are shrewd and intelligent.
If they weren't so ignorant about the concept of "body possession," they would probably have already had their identities exposed by those around them.
No, it's possible that someone has already discovered she's not the original owner of this body.
Lady Duanmu had already begun to distance herself from her, but perhaps she hadn't taken action against this "evil spirit" who had taken over her womanhood simply because she was the emperor's fiancée.
Judging from how actively Madam Duanmu is preparing for the wedding, she probably wants to quickly "frame" Duanmu Ying and leave home to prevent her from bringing disaster to the Duanmu family.
Perhaps she was still thinking of using the dragon's energy to deal with the "evil spirit," to make the "evil spirit" disappear, and to bring her daughter back.
But she didn't consider that Duanmu Ying had been secretly associating with the emperor, Dongfang Zeng, for so long, and hadn't been harmed by the emperor's aura! (End of Chapter)
