Chapter 190 Clear Eyeliner
"In the beginning, His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince and the Shangguan family were not on good terms. It was only because of His Majesty's obsession with His Royal Highness Feng Jun that he decided to marry into the Shangguan family despite the opposition of the court officials."
Qingyu told everything he knew, probably to show his determination.
Nan Jinming looked at Qingyu in front of him, and was thinking about the truth in his words last time. Since he had not investigated the affairs of the eldest prince, he was still relatively unfamiliar with the tricks involved.
"Why are you telling us this? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will come and question you?"
"Since His Majesty has allowed me to follow Her Royal Highness, I will be Her Royal Highness's person from now on and naturally I will not have any second thoughts."
Qingyu didn't know how to express her determination, so she wanted to tell them everything she knew, maybe this way they would trust her more.
"Don't make it difficult for him. He probably only knows this much. After all, it's not easy to get along in the palace. I've had a few conversations with His Highness Feng Jun. He's really not easy to get along with."
Nan Jinming nodded thoughtfully, looking at Chu Xiaoran beside him. He didn't want to blame Qingyu any more. As for what he had just done when he was hiding outside and eavesdropping, since he had told him so much, he would be exempted from punishment.
"If you eavesdrop again in the future, you will follow the rules of the Princess's Mansion."
Nan Jinming's face darkened and he spoke in a cold voice.
If he doesn't exert a little authority, it will be difficult to stay in the entire Princess's Mansion. Besides, all these people are in the imperial palace. What is Xiahou Chunan thinking?
"Thank you, miss."
Qingyu naturally knew the identities of the two people, so she was more respectful to Nan Jinming on weekdays.
"Now, except for a few of us in the entire Princess's Mansion, no one else can be trusted. Everyone else is the emperor's spies, so it is better to be cautious in everything."
Chu Xiaoran sighed slightly. There was nothing he could do about it.
I didn't even think of refusing my aunt at the beginning. My aunt would actually transfer people from the palace to work in the princess's mansion. Isn't this putting myself in danger?
Chu Xiaoran bit his lips with his teeth, trying to think of some way to get rid of these eyes.
It is naturally not a good thing to have many outsiders in the Princess's Mansion.
"What is the dispute between Shangguan Yilin and His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince?"
Yan Boxi was simply curious. After all, he was young and was too well protected by his two older brothers. Now that he was out in the world, he would experience all kinds of things, so he had some doubts and asked them in person.
"I just heard that the former mortal enemy of the Shangguan family was rescued by His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince and then hid in the other courtyard. After being discovered, His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince vowed to protect that person at all costs, which must have damaged the interests of the Shangguan family."
Nan Jinming felt a little confused. There were so many problems, one after another. He really couldn't handle it all by himself, but he had already contacted the people here this morning.
Nan Jinming had long anticipated that there would be chaos in the world, so she placed some spies in every place and every corner. However, it took her five full years to build up these forces.
There is no Nan Jinming's influence on the Yu State side. They just arranged a few spies to report the movements of the Yu State on weekdays. Once there is an idea of provoking a war, it will be quickly reported to her.
"Who is that person? Why does my father have to protect her all the time?"
Chu Xiaoran didn’t know the reason behind this, so this was the most troublesome part.
It would be bad enough if his identity was unknown, but now even the mother’s identity hasn’t been found out, so why did the father disappear in the first place?
Why did she marry into the Chu family in the end?
Wouldn't it be a defilement for him to live in such a dirty place?
But deep in his memory, Chu Xiaoran always felt that his father was an extremely gentle person, and was definitely not like what they said, invincible on the battlefield and killing people without blinking an eye.
How could such a man who was both talented in literature and martial arts live such a miserable life at the moment of death?
"I don't know about that either. It's just that at that time, the whole Snow City was full of rumors. His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince couldn't stand it, so he disappeared and eventually there was no news."
"Can't stand it? I don't believe that my father is not this kind of person. Something else must have happened."
Chu Xiaoran shook his head. According to what they said, his father should be a man who dared to love and hate. How could he escape and leave the country where he grew up?
So what exactly was the reason that made him leave his hometown and go to such a distant country, Ye?
My father was already pregnant at the time, so did the people in the Chu family know about it?
Chu Xiaoran's thoughts were extremely confused right now, and he still couldn't figure it out.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. We should deal with the current situation first. Since the emperor has sent so many slaves to the princess's mansion, we should not accept them all."
Nan Jinming must be thinking of the emperor, worried that his nephew would come back to seize his throne, so he sent so many people to guard him.
