An Xiyuan glanced at An Xiyue, comforted the third lady and said: "Mom, it's a good thing you didn't go to the lantern festival. The fireworks in the sky suddenly turned into fireballs, but my daughter is fine. It was the eldest sister who quickly took us to hide under the eaves. No one was burned by the glass fire."
The third lady was originally very arrogant, but her arrogance dimmed when she saw An Xiyue coming out with everyone, accompanied by two people who looked very powerful. Seeing that his son was not following him, he said anxiously: "Where is your eldest brother? Why isn't he with you?"
An Xiyue didn't know where An Tingxuan was, and she was also afraid that something would happen to him. After all, he was a weak scholar with no martial arts skills. She glanced at An Xiyuan, and in order to appease the third lady, she could only say: "Third aunt, don't worry, brother Xuan is just with me." We got separated." An Xiyue said with great embarrassment: "Two eldest brothers, please go back first, we can just go back home on our own."
The two men in black clothes with cold faces said respectfully: "The prince has told me to send the eldest lady back to the house. Please get in the car first."
An Xiyue saw the cold eyes of the two people, and she looked at them as people with extraordinary martial arts skills. She also thought about the arrow that was shot at her just now. Thinking about it now, she still has lingering fears. If Nangong Yuanyi hadn't appeared in time, she would still be safe and sound. Are you standing here? Now it was night again, and with the whole family, if someone attacked them along the way, it would really be a shame for the sky and the earth to be incompetent, so he no longer hesitated and happily accepted Nangong Yuanyi's kindness.

The banquet in the palace had just ended, and the emperor was just about to lie down and rest, when the eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Master Gao and Master Hong were waiting outside the palace, saying that a fire suddenly appeared high in the sky on Huayong Street, and many aristocratic families were burned. Madam, most of the common people were also burned."
After the emperor heard about it, he became very angry in the imperial study. He immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "How could such a thing happen? Who is responsible for the security work? What do An Yuxiao and Rong Shao do for food? What is Ryukyu?" Where did it come from? Why did it suddenly appear from the sky?"
In fact, they didn't quite understand the whole process of the matter, and they just wanted to blame it all on the officials on duty because their wives had suffered a terrible disaster. Seeing the emperor's anger, everyone was so frightened that they dared not speak out.
At this time, outside the palace, another eunuch came to report: "The prince of Prince Yu's palace wants to see you."
I saw that the emperor was only in his forties, with eagle eyebrows and handsome eyes, and he looked extremely shrewd. When he heard Nangong Yuanyi's request for an audience, he said: "Quickly declare."
Before the eunuch could leave, the emperor suddenly said: "Xiao Luzi, send Master Gao and Master Hong out."
After a while, Nangong Yuanyi was welcomed in by the eunuch. He walked towards the palace before he had to change his clothes. At this time, he bowed to the emperor in the high position and said, "See you, your emperor." I don't know when it started. , he never calls the current emperor "uncle".
Nangong Nan governed the country with benevolence and righteousness. During his decades in office, the Northern Dynasty was smooth sailing, with few wars. Nangong Nan was deeply loved by the people and the officials of the dynasty. He managed the Northern Dynasty smoothly and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He can be regarded as a meritorious emperor.
At this time, Nangong Nan frowned and stared at Nangong Yuanyi, who was looking down at him. He didn't have a good expression either. His eyes sank and he said angrily: "Where have you gone crazy during this period? Your father came to the palace to look for him several times. .”
Nangong Yuanyi smiled slightly, but it was as heart-warming as a spring breeze. That smile made Nangong Nan slightly surprised. He really looked more and more like their father.
Nangong Yuanyi said in a deep voice: "Spies from the Tianlang Kingdom suddenly sneaked into Kyoto. Anpinghou showed up and was seriously injured because he was chasing the spies. Fortunately, some of them did not escape and have been taken to the sky prison, waiting for interrogation."
Nangong Nan stared at him. He had exposed the last Jincheng corruption case and put it on his desk. Nangong Yuanyi was obviously very smart and had the talent to govern the country, but he pretended to be uneducated all day long, but Lian Wen Tai Tu Everyone praised him. If he were more attentive, he would definitely be a general.
Then, Nangong Yuanyi said again: "The war with the Sirius Kingdom is probably inevitable. The emperor has made preparations for a long time. This time, he will send a princess to make a marriage, trying to win over the monarch of the Sirius Kingdom."
Nangong Yuanyi's words made the emperor feel painful and somewhat ironic. Last time, he chose a princess to marry to the Sirius Kingdom to ease the diplomatic relations between the two countries in a peaceful way. However, the princess committed suicide not long after her marriage.
Nangong Nan knew that this matter would not be that simple. Since they had lost a princess last time, and this time the Sirius Kingdom came to challenge the authority of the Northern Dynasty, they naturally had to prepare a counterattack. It's just that he has never had a suitable manpower to confront the Sirius Kingdom. If Nangong Yuanyi is sent to go...
Nangong Yuanyi saw the emperor's eyes staring at him tightly, as if he was planning something, so he found an excuse to get up and leave.
At the same time, An Yuxiao was sent back to the Anping Marquis Mansion in the middle of the night, and several imperial doctors with excellent medical skills in the palace were invited to come.
An Yuxiao was not in danger, but was stabbed twice and shed some blood. Thanks to An Tingxuan's resourcefulness, he deceived them to the east of the city.
Seeing that An Tingxuan also had some stab wounds on his body, An Xiyue did not expect that a well-written scholar would have such courage to fight with those people. She secretly admired her but did not dare to show it in front of her third aunt, otherwise she would not know how she would be resented.
When the third lady saw that An Tingxuan was injured, she burst into tears and said resentfully: "You are going to take the scientific examination, but you don't want to be a general. When you see the gangsters, you don't run away. Instead, you go up to them and beat them." Kill, you have read books about saints for so many years, and all your money has been wasted. If that gangster kills you with a knife today, how will my mother live?"
It was the first time for An Xiyue to see her third aunt acting so fiercely. She usually spoke in a yin and yang manner.
An Tingxuan waved his hand helplessly. He only had a little skin injury and sighed. She would not give up until his mother cried enough.
When An Xiyue saw that An Tingxuan was fine, he got up and said goodbye and returned to his yard.
Nangong Yuanyi returned to Beijing. After today, she went to see him to see if he could ask his miraculous doctor friend to treat her mother.
As soon as she returned to Junlan Garden, Jiang Shuang came in and said, "I have already gone to the Princess Mansion Branch to have a meeting, and Miss Shangguan has also been put to sleep."
Jiang Shuang thought of Shangguan Yao pestering Young Master Yun, and she secretly worried for Young Master Yun. If Miss Shangguan continued to live in the Anping Marquis Mansion, the young master would be driven crazy.
An Xiyue's thoughts were not on them. Nangong Yuanyi suddenly appeared today and saved his life again. If she asked him for help tomorrow, she would have to think of an excuse.
Jiang Shuang felt strange when she saw the eldest lady ignoring her, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
