"Yes, my son will take care of Xiao Xue'er."

"That's good, let's go, let's retreat, but after you take the jade noodle crown, remember to come over and have lunch with your father...."

"Yes."

After Nangong left the Heart Cultivation Palace, he went to the Phoenix Vulture Palace.

This set of jade-faced crown Nangong Li didn't rush to give it to Mu Xue after he took it back to the palace, and he planned to surprise Mu Xue when that day came.

When he returned to the palace, it was in the afternoon.

The weather is not particularly hot and dry now, and when he came in, Yunzhi was fanning Mu Xue.

With the entry of this man, there was a sparse sound of jade curtains in the air, crisp and crisp.

Mu Xue didn't sleep very soundly, and woke up when she heard this sound.

"Ah Li, are you back so early?"

Mu Xue's voice was hoarse, and there was always a sense of coquettishness, which made the listener inexplicably comfortable.

Nangong Li took the round fan in Yunzhi's hand, and while fanning Mu Xue, he started to tidy up her messy hair because of sleeping.

"I entered the palace today and said that Xiao Xue'er was worried about the matter, and by the way, I donated 40,000 taels of silver and 5,000 quintals of grain, and Ming'er was escorted by the third brother early in the morning."

Hearing that she had donated money, Mu Xue asked suspiciously: "What did you take the initiative to say?" ”

"Well, if we don't have people, we will give some money. Anyway, the third brother will definitely not be able to eat and drink well this time. And my father also knew about your birthday, and eighty percent of them will give you a reward again. ”

Since Mu Xue married into this palace, the emperor has given a lot of rewards.

Hearing that there was another reward, Mu Xue smiled and looked like a fan of money: "It feels good to be rich." ”

Nangong Li also understands the truth that money can make ghosts grind, seeing her smiling and fascinated by money, he gently scratched the tip of her nose with his upper hand, and said dotingly: "My father left me in the palace for dinner today, but he told me a more important thing..."

"Huh? What's up? ”

Nangong Li's voice was brisk, and even if Mu Xue didn't know what the specific thing was, she understood that it should be good news.

"I heard that two days ago, when I received an urgent report from the prefect of Jiangnan, King Shenjun asked to take care of the affairs of the victims, but the emperor did not agree, and today my father told me that when the third brother comes back from Jiangnan this time, he will assign the city in the Sichuan and Shu areas to Nangong Xunna, so that he can stay away from the capital."

Sichuan and Shu are mountainous and a barren land, and the comprehensive economic strength of the city is backward.

The emperor drove people over there, which shows that the emperor probably knows what he has done in his heart, but the emperor is still ruthless to kill him.

"Really?"

Hearing that the emperor had such a plan, Mu Xue's eyes lit up.

She knew from time upon a time that the ancient prince would divide the city and land when he reached a certain age, and become the king of one side.

But again, a prince with a fief is no longer eligible to inherit the throne.

"Naturally, it's true, the father's plan is excellent, so that the queen's old witch and her son can't see each other all year round, and the Yin family has also disappeared in the capital, and today I heard that the queen's old witch is sick..."

Nangong Li's tone was brisk, and even said that when the queen was sick, there was an obvious look of pride in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

It's as if her illness is as good as he wants.

Mu Xue couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Ah Li, the queen's old witch is sick, didn't you send someone to do it?"

Nangong Lixiao was mysterious and unpredictable, and touched her little head very affectionately: "Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence, Xiao Xue'er, if this king does it, the country will be mourned today..."

If the queen of a country passes away, it is indeed a state funeral.

In fact, to be honest, now in the harem, the power of the queen has been hollowed out by the two people of Concubine Shu and the eldest princess's biological mother, Duanhuang Guifei, the queen has no power in the harem, it is useless, if Nangong takes advantage of her illness at this time and wants her to die, no one will really investigate the cause of the queen's death.

Of course, these two ladies are looking forward to the queen in their hearts to hurry up to the west and occupy the queen's phoenix seat, which is really a waste.

Hearing Nangong Li say this, Mu Xue knew that it wasn't him who did it.

She thought to herself, maybe it was because the queen saw that her mother's house was raided, imprisoned, exiled, beheaded, and a series of other things completely hit her, plus her age also came up, so she couldn't help but get sick.

Judging by the current situation in the palace.

When Nangong Xun was divided into the city land and moved out of the capital, in the entire huge palace, the queen mother could only die of illness in the cold Kunning Palace.

Seeing her lingering in the harem, life is better than death, it seems that it is much happier than killing her.

Thinking of this, Nangong Li smiled again, and suddenly felt that God was still very kind to him.

After all, things were going in the direction he wanted.

Mu Xue cautiously glanced at the man who was fanning herself, and the words turned on the tip of her tongue or asked.

"Ah Li, the queen is sick, will you take advantage of her illness and ask her to die?"

This question fell Nangong Li.

Before coming back from the palace today, he also deliberately went to stand outside the Kunning Palace for a while.

He didn't even get close to hear the coughing sound of the queen's old witch who seemed to be about to cough up her heart and lungs, and it reached his ears through the thick palace walls.

It can be seen that the man is really sick.

He even saw Aoba hurrying to ask for a doctor.

"No, it won't."

Nangong Li actually suspected that although those blows were very huge for the queen, her illness came suddenly.

He was even wondering, could it be that there were too many people who had offended the queen before, so there were already people who couldn't wait to kill the queen before he could do it?

After all...

The queen is the queen of the middle palace after all, the emperor's wife.

One day with her, Nangong Xun still has hope of ascending the throne.

Speaking of which, he squinted his eyes and thought that it was more likely that the concubine was a concubine, after all, the third brother now had quite a lot of followers in the previous dynasty.

"She has harmed so many people in her life, and when I dream back at midnight, I'm afraid that there are a lot of unjust souls who want to ask her for her life, what do you want me to worry about..."

Nangong Li's tone was cool, and most of the ingredients were lively.

Mu Xue glared at him with disgust, and then gently poked his stomach.

"Look at you, what you said is so scary, what kind of unjust soul asks for your life, I am panicked when I hear it..."

Mu Xue used to be an atheist person, but now she believes in ghosts, after all, if you don't see it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

"Okay, it's Ah Li, I shouldn't have told you this..."

Nangong Li pressed the person on the collapse, he let her rest, and he went to let the people prepare the 40,000 taels of silver and 5,000 loads of grain.

When it comes to money, Nangong can't help but keep an eye on it personally.

In fact, he didn't even think about letting people move the silver in the Jinlong Silver Village.

I saw that before he was about to go out, he stretched out his hand towards Mu Xue.

Mu Xue didn't understand what he meant, and asked with a frown: "What are you doing?" ”

"Money !!"

Nangong Li stretched out his hand towards Mu Xue, and asked for money with confidence!!

Mu Xue pursed her lips, pointed to the elevated highway over there, and said instructively: "The key to the treasury is in that box, and the silver you once gave me, in addition to spending a lot of money when you opened the silver bank, there is also a gambling house..."

Mu Xue's words stopped suddenly.

Seeing that he stopped suspiciously.

Mu Xue felt that it was over.

I can't hide the fact that I let people open a gambling house outside.

Just when she couldn't bite off her tongue with remorseful hatred, the man turned around slowly, his eyes as deep as a cold pool for ten thousand years, and his tone was lower.

"What casino??"

Mu Xue pursed her lips, in line with the principle of frankness and leniency, the woman hurriedly said flatteringly: "It's nothing, it's just that when I bought Jinlong Yinzhuang, I met the eighth master, and I later gave him 20,000 start-up funds, and let him help me open three gambling houses in private....."

Looking at his uncertain face and his secretive eyes, Mu Xue's heart was pounding.

On the one hand, there is a bright silver bank, and on the other hand, a black gambling house.

The nature of these two is actually the same, they are just coaxing the money in the pockets of the common people.

It's just that the money in the silver village can still be retrieved with the voucher.

But the money lost in the gambling house is really gone.

Nangong Li had a cloudy and uncertain face, Mu Xue also thought that as a princess, she still knew the law and broke the law, and the matter of opening a private gambling house made this man unhappy, after all, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Mu Xue was a little surprised.

"Is it very profitable?"

Mu Xue was stunned for a moment, a little dazed.

"To make money, just in the first two months alone, the dividends of the three gambling houses totaled 26,000, and I put them in the small treasury, if you want to use it, you can take it, don't look at me like that, people are a little afraid...."

Nangong Li looked at Mu Xue's eyes quiet and deep, staring at Mu Xue's hair.

And what Mu Xue is best at now is showing weakness.

Sure enough, when she was saying that people were afraid, Nangong Li hooked her lips and chuckled, and suddenly softened the unfathomable depth of the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

In fact, Nangong was quite helpless when he smiled.

He was not in a hurry to go over and get the key, but sat back again, and at once he lifted her ear, and asked softly: "Say, apart from these, what else is there to hide from this king...."

Mu Xue was very well-behaved, and took down the hand he held on his ear with a hippie smile, and then shook his arm lightly: "No, just this one, I was going to tell you, but these days are really busy, people have forgotten..."

What Nangong Li can't stand the most is that this woman is coquettish.

He felt that Mu Xue was not shaking his arm lightly, but shaking his heart.

In fact, he didn't mean to be angry at all, but he was secretly glad in his heart that he was fortunate to have confessed to Mu Xue these days.

Otherwise, he really didn't know that this woman actually opened three gambling houses behind her back.

The gambling house makes money quickly, and he always knew it.

From the first time Mu Xueti reconciled and left, Nangong Li thought that behind this woman was because she knew that Mu Haifeng was waiting for her, which was the confidence for her to dare to propose reconciliation with herself.

But at this moment, he completely understood that this woman dared to break away from him, and she was the confidence she gave herself.

Not by any one man.
