Chapter 106: Defeat in Southern Xinjiang
Nan Jinming happened to receive a letter from Yan Qiu. After reading the contents of the letter, Nan Jinming frowned.
I didn't expect that the imperial power had fallen to such a state, and that he had to get married and win over other forces in order to consolidate the throne of the young emperor.
"Who sent the letter?"
Chu Xiaoran came to the desk with a bowl of Tremella soup in his hand, looked at the envelope on the table, and then looked at Nan Jinming's frown.
Did something bad happen?
"Yan Qiu, talking about some things about the court."
Chu Xiaoran had no idea about the current situation in the capital. He only knew that Southern Xinjiang had just won a victory, and now that Southern Xinjiang had been defeated, he heard that the prince of Southern Xinjiang was coming to the capital to marry a princess.
"We just won a victory in the south. What happened in the court that made you frown?"
Chu Xiaoran was also worried. Ever since he knew her identity, he was always worried that she would return to the capital one day.
Nan Jinming escaped from Murong Beitang's identity this time, so of course he would not be willing to return to the capital so easily.
"It's just that something happened to my relatives, but it doesn't matter. With Yan Qiu in the capital, there won't be any big waves, so there's no need to worry."
Nan Jinming told Chu Xiaoran everything he knew. Chu Xiaoran had the right to know about himself.
"Then you don't have to worry. I will accompany you to face any problems. Even if you want to return to the capital, I will go back with you."
"What was going on outside just now? I could hear it through the wall."
Chu Xiaoran then remembered that Nan Jinming had stayed at home for the past few days and had not gone out, so he naturally had no idea what was happening outside.
"The south won a victory, and the soldiers from Yuecheng have returned."
Nan Jinming thought for a moment and then remembered that there had been war in the south for many years and that he had faked his death and escaped during the war. He did not expect that the war would be settled so quickly.
In fact, Nan Jinming's thoughts were a little biased. She had been running for five years. The war in the south had lasted for five years before it ended. But it was good that they won the war in Ye Country.
Although it was a little later than in the previous life, victory was already destined. What does it matter whether I won the battle or not?
"I see."
"There is also the matter of the prince of Southern Xinjiang coming to marry."
When Nan Jinming heard the news, his face changed instantly. That man was coming to marry?
That’s right. I came here with the same excuse last time. I didn’t expect that this time it would be two or three years late. I wonder if my appearance has changed?
"Didn't they just win the battle? Why haven't they rested in the south yet? Are they thinking of trying to curry favor now?"
Nan Jinming raised her eyebrows with a bit of disdain. Ever since what happened in her previous life, she no longer had a good impression of the royal family of Nanjiang in the south.
"I heard that Southern Xinjiang is best at using Gu. If the prince of Southern Xinjiang is really allowed to marry into the palace, I'm afraid that your Majesty's safety..."
Nan Jinming sat on the chair with his hands clasped together, leaning against the back of the chair, and curled the corners of his lips with some contempt: "Don't worry, the secret guards behind the emperor are not raised in vain. Once the prince of Nanjiang makes a move, he will never be able to leave the palace alive."
Chu Xiaoran couldn't quite see through Nan Jinming in front of him. She was too mysterious, and the expression on her face was nothing like when she was in Lai Fu Village before.
The person in front of him is the real Murong Beitang, not the careless Nan Jinming. People are selfish, and once they have something they want to protect, they will try every possible means.
"Your Majesty, you are still young, and there are only two concubines in the harem. Once the prince of Southern Xinjiang comes, if she is pregnant with an heir, I am afraid that the South will make a comeback."
Chu Xiaoran’s analysis was very logical and all the military books he had read before were not read in vain. However, as a man, he could not comment on national affairs, let alone show his face in public.
Nan Jinming cast an admiring look at him, and it was indeed true.
Xiaoran's analysis was not wrong. If the prince of Southern Xinjiang was really allowed to marry into the palace, even if the secret guards were protecting the emperor at all times, there would be a day when they would make mistakes.
Wasn’t this why I lost in my previous life?
"You are right. I will write a letter to Yan Qiu first, asking her to be on guard and find a good match for the prince of Southern Xinjiang."
Chu Xiaoran picked up the letter that Nan Jinming had already read on the table and read it carefully. Yan Qiu replied that he had never heard of Mr. Haitang and that he had already spread the word in various brothels to look for him. Once he was found, they would change the portrait and then send it to him.
This is also good. After all, there are people with the same name. Now we just need to wait for news.
"You don't have to worry about Master Haitang. Even if he hasn't been found, it doesn't mean anything. As for Pei Luoshu, you should also be careful."
Nan Jinming stood up, placed the letter in the candle flame and lit it, and finally put it into the ashtray next to him. It would be better to destroy these things as soon as possible. If they were seen by people nearby, it would not be a good thing.
