Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 351 The Emperor's Scheming

The knocked unconscious Nangong Qi was escorted back to the palace by Anye, who also reported to Nangong Zhaolie the news that County Master Fuxi had recovered.

When Nangong Zhaolie heard this, he was immediately surprised and speechless for a long time.

Such a serious injury was completely healed in such a short time. It seems that there is no doubt that Xuanfeng Sanren is a god.

In the past, he always thought that the rumors about the existence of gods in Beichen were just false. But now it seems that Beichen is indeed a blessed place protected by God.

However, he did not expect Qi'er to be so obsessed with Shen Li.

Nangong Zhaolie raised his head slightly, and the moment he met Shen Li emerged in his mind. Although the girl was unconscious at the time, her face showed a kind of broken beauty, like a delicate flower beaten by a violent storm in spring, which made people feel pity. It was also like a broken but profound painting with a unique charm that was unforgettable.

He couldn't help but find excuses for his son's deep affection in his heart. Such a unique woman, let alone Qi'er, even if he were a few years younger, he would probably find it difficult to resist her charm.

Moreover, Shen Li is definitely not just a pretty face. Just by looking at the memorials she submitted, you can tell that she is very talented and is absolutely qualified to be the mother of the country and the queen of a country.

Looking back, all the plans and arrangements in the past have become a bubble today, and everything has gone against our wishes.

Nangong Zhaolie frowned, his thoughts drifting back to the beginning. At that time, he was secretly thinking in his heart that these young men and women were just beginning to fall in love, and their feelings were like new buds breaking through the ground in spring, fresh and vigorous. It was most likely that the sparks of love would be ignited when they were together day and night, and a beautiful marriage would be achieved.

He deliberately taught his ignorant son the ways of men and women.

But she had never expected that Shen Li treated Qi'er with such calmness and without any ripples of affection.

Nangong Zhaolie slowly tightened his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he wanted to pour all his resentment and helplessness into this grip.

He sighed heavily, and the long sigh echoed in the empty palace, as if to dispel all the sorrow in his heart.

Then, with a stern expression, he ordered to Anye, who was standing by with his head bowed, as silent as a statue, "Send capable personnel to keep a close watch on the Crown Prince. Keep an eye on his every move and don't let him do anything impulsive, reckless, or reckless because of a momentary emotional injury. As for Shen Li..."

He raised his head slightly, looking into the distance through the carved window lattices of the palace, as if he wanted to see through the layers of clouds and mist and understand the complicated situation.

After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke slowly with a hint of regret and compromise: "Now all signs show that this Xuanfeng Sanren is indeed extremely powerful and has extraordinary means. He has abilities that cannot be underestimated.

When dealing with such a person, one should only make friendly friends and exchange what one has with them. Never make enemies without reason or create powerful enemies for no reason. It's just a pity that the Fuxi County Lady is an excellent choice in terms of both talent and character. She was the most promising candidate to be the mother of the country and the perfect candidate to take on the responsibility of being the heir to a country..."

At this point, Nangong Zhaolie's eyes revealed a barely perceptible loneliness and regret, as if he was grieving for the missed bright prospects.

An Ye stood tall and straight, like a pine tree, quietly standing in the hall, silently listening to the worries deep in his master's heart.

After a moment, he raised his head slightly, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his eyes, and he said softly, "Master, in my opinion, if we take advantage of this turbulent and chaotic situation to secretly abduct Shen Li and use this opportunity to let her stay in the same room with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, perhaps it will help the two of them accomplish good things..."

When Nangong Zhaolie heard this, he was struck by thunder. He turned his head suddenly, and his eyes instantly flashed with a sharp hawk-like gaze, shooting straight into the dark night.

Nangong Zhaolie actually values ​​this secret guard leader who can always accurately see into his innermost thoughts.

He stared deeply at An Ye, his eyes gradually softened, and he sighed softly, "An Ye, do you think that I intentionally let Qi Er get along with Shen Li without any purpose?

I don't deny that my method was indeed a bit despicable. I fully hoped that Qi'er could take advantage of this proximity to win Shen Li's heart and make her willingly accompany Qi'er.

But who could have expected that Shen Li would be so indifferent to Qi'er, never having even a hint of romantic feelings between her and him..." Nangong Zhaolie's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and frustration as he spoke, like a chess player who had meticulously planned but ultimately lost everything.

Nangong Zhaolie walked slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back, his brow furrowed, lost in thought.

After a long moment, he slowly spoke, his voice filled with a hint of solemnity and helplessness: "In the current situation, it is extremely difficult to promote the relationship between Qi'er and Shen Li. Not to mention that County Master Fuxi is surrounded by numerous experts, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts and loyal. It would be no easy task to abduct someone from under their noses."

Furthermore, that Xuanfeng Sanren is by no means an ordinary person. His methods are profound and unfathomable, and we dare not offend him easily.

Take the magic medicine he gave me that day for example. After I took it, I was surprised to find that all the hidden injuries I had suffered in my youth were miraculously healed.

How dare we act rashly against such a powerful person? Moreover, this is in Xiqi territory. If we brazenly kidnap him, wouldn't that be courting death?

Everyone in the world has eyes, and who is so foolish as not to see the intricacies of this? If this matter is exposed, it will not only trigger disputes between the two countries, but will also plunge our Xiqi into an irretrievable situation. "

After saying this, Nangong Zhaolie stopped, his eyes full of worry, as if he had already seen the various crises that might arise in the future.
