When Zhu Xin came back again, Nan Xiao's mood had stabilized a lot, and he could only vaguely see some red and swollen eyes.

"Call Steward Zhu later, you can also go eat dumplings, don't worry about me." Feeling that his eyes were no longer so swollen and uncomfortable, Nan Xiao commanded in a shallow voice.

"But ......"

"Alright, let's go!" Zhu Xin wanted to say something more, but he didn't think that Nan Xiao's attitude was unusually resolute, so he had to retreat in response, knowing that Nan Xiao was afraid of the cold, so he closed the door after putting down the thick curtain before exiting.

Nan Xiao stared at Zhu Xin's back blankly, and his thoughts didn't know where he flew to?

She didn't remember how long that had happened, that life was just a poor ordinary person, who had been working all day and had to bear heavy taxes and servitude, and life had pressed his back down early on.

That year was also the winter solstice, she was ambushed by the cold weather and was cold and hungry, and the whole person was dying, at that time she was still punished, and she couldn't perform immortal magic at all, it was a thousand generations who brought her back from the heavy snow who was dying, and the whole family finally prepared the cheapest green vegetable tofu dumplings all year round, but all pushed to her who was about to faint from hunger.

As the young daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, she Nanxiao has never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there is nothing she dare not eat in the water that flies in the sky and the ground, but at that time, everything is not as delicious as green vegetable dumplings!

Maybe it was from that time that she fell in love with him, Nan Xiao secretly thought that she had never lacked anything before, but this kind of wholehearted dedication regardless of return was too little, that is, from that time she secretly made up her mind to give him everything she could.

What's wrong with herself now, that's the person she loves deeply, why does she find all this boring one day, is she also such a cold person? No, no, in this life, no matter how big a mistake she makes, she will help the fifth prince to get to that position, at all costs.

"Master, are you looking for me?" When Nan Xiao was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door, followed by Steward Zhu's eager voice.

This bamboo Xin, Nan Xiao sighed, she clearly asked Steward Zhu to come over after she was busy eating, but now like this, it was obvious that Zhu Xin called him over in a daze. It's just that Zhu Xin is just concerned about it, afraid that she has something urgent.

"Come in."

"Master, do you have any instructions for me?" Steward Zhu lowered his head and asked cautiously, listening to Zhu Xin, the master didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he was inconvenient to persuade, so he could only share more for the master.

"Go find someone to find out what happened to the Five Princes recently? Or the virtuous concubine, the seventh princess, as long as it has something to do with them. Nan Xiao commanded in a low voice.

Since returning from the Five Princes' Mansion that day, she had indeed been waiting for such a day, but when this day actually came, she was a little hesitant, what was the reason for such a person who had no quarrel with the world to change his mind.

"Okay, I'll go." Steward Zhu answered, then withdrew and prepared to inquire, just walked to the door, thought for a moment and retreated, the expression on his face changed and changed, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"What? Anything else? Nan Xiao raised his eyes that had just fallen down, and asked absentmindedly.

"There's something I don't know whether to say or not, but I think the master should want to know."

"Oh?" Nan Xiao straightened up and sat on the soft couch, squinting his eyes, and became a little interested.

"Tell me?"

"In the past few days, it has been rumored in Beijing that the son of the queen's cousin fell in love with the seventh princess at first sight, and wanted the queen to ask for him to marry, the seventh princess is still young, although the queen refused this matter, but it still has a great impact on the reputation of the seventh princess, after all, ......"

Smart people don't need to speak all the words, Steward Zhu said that Nan Xiao still doesn't understand, the fifth prince loves his sister very much, and no one in Jingzhong, the son of the queen's cousin, knows it, relying on some money and power in his family to linger in the flowers all day long, and the whole thing is a proper gentleman, and he has a relationship, how can the five princes not be angry.

Now the situation in Beijing is very clear, the queen has the eldest son, if there is no accident, the world will be replaced by them in the future, the queen has always hated the gentle and virtuous concubine, and she kept saying that she wanted to peel off the hypocritical shell of the concubine, if so, not only the virtuous concubine in the future, but also the seventh princess, and even the fifth prince, they will not have a good end.

The five princes should have seen through this relationship and wanted to fight for it to protect their mother and sister.

"Okay, I know, you let them pay attention to the rest of the weekdays, don't inquire about it for the time being, you can also get busy." Nan Xiao rubbed his temples that were a little dizzy, waved his hand and motioned for Steward Zhu to retreat, this time Steward Zhu did not hesitate, and directly responded and retreated.

According to the current situation, she has reached an alliance with the fifth prince, she helped him clear the obstacles, he agreed to him a request, as if everything was going in the desired direction, but why did she always feel that something was wrong?

Why did the fifth prince trust her ability so easily, she thought that she didn't show much when she made friends, or maybe all this was just a game for him, if it happened, then everyone would be happy, if not, there was no loss to him, so what was the reason for him?

That's it, after a long time, there will be results, and now it's useless to think too much, let's quickly find a way to help him win over the courtiers, now no one in the entire court knows that the five princes are weak, and if they want to convince those old horsemen, I'm afraid it will take some lip service, or some special means.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the six departments now control most of the rights of the entire imperial court, but among these six departments, none of the five princes have a single person, and it is a little difficult to make a beautiful turnaround in the current situation.

Rubbing his temples, Nan Xiao felt that his skull hurt even more.

………………

At the same time, the Five Princes' Mansion.

"How? Is everything going well? ”

"Don't worry, she won't find out, I just hope everything goes well." If you look carefully at this moment, where is the fifth prince still a little bit weak, perhaps because the desired goal has been achieved, the whole person is full of energy, and there is a faint illusion of a spring breeze on his face.

When the military advisor sitting on the side heard this answer, he also touched his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

As long as she agreed, and if they had been investigating her for so long, it seemed that the woman really had secret and power, and with her help, everything would be much easier.
