"Ahem, I don't know, really don't know, ahem, she was dragged into the back mountain by several guards and never came out again, ahem..." The woman's pale face turned red.
Nangong Chen's whole body trembled, his eyes were silent, and he fell to the ground. He had never seen her before. How could he do it?
The woman fell to the ground and breathed heavily, as if she had walked through the gate of hell, her turbid eyes widened empty.
The secret was revealed. Will her daughter end up like her? Could this be retribution?
"Haha, retribution, so people will be retribution, haha..." The woman burst into laughter madly.
"Your Highness, how do you deal with this woman?" The entourage asked carefully. This woman was too noisy and could easily attract people.
"Closed her and guarded her well."
"Yes, Your Highness." The entourage dragged the woman up and stuffed her mouth with cloth.
“Go out all.”
"Yes, Your Highness." The entourage immediately dragged the woman out, and they didn't want to stay here. Not only was the palace terrifying, but His Highness even more terrifying.
All the torches were extinguished, and the surroundings were as quiet as the hot summer night was now biting cold.
Nangong Chen curled up, so painful that he could hardly breathe. The hatred and pain eroded his whole body bit by bit and pierced him.
I don’t know how long it took, but my face was a little cold, and it took me a long time to realize it was tears.

Prime Minister's Mansion.
This year, Jing Ao and others came back late and failed to catch up with their father Dongfang Lie's birthday, so Dongfang Lie did not blame him.
The happiest thing is Qin Shi, who has all returned.
After dinner, Dongfang Lie called Jing Ao to the study.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Jing Ao felt a little ashamed. He had never been at home and had a good relationship with the people at home. He was really ashamed of his elder brother.
"Ao'er, now that he graduated, what are your plans for the future?" Dongfang Lie's eyes were a little relieved. Of course, he hoped that his son would inherit his father's business, but Ao'er was too rebellious and seemed to have no intention.
"I have no intention of becoming famous in the court, nor do I have the intention to become famous." Jing Ao said bluntly that over the years, he has secretly cultivated his own power in case of future needs, but he does not want anyone to know.
"You are my son, you can't be ordinary!" Dongfang Lie was a little angry. If his son did not become famous, would he have to do nothing for the rest of his life?
"Then I disappoint you, Dad, I just want to be ordinary." Jing Ao said seriously without any shame.
"You! You are so stupid." Dongfang Lie was so angry that he slapped the table. Ao'er had been there for almost ten years, and had learned enough skills, and had smoothed the water chestnuts, but his bones were even more rebellious!
"Father, let me think about it for now." Jing Ao slowed down his tone. He didn't want to have a fight with his father when he came back the first day.
"Okay, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the Dongfang family." Dongfang Lie said in a deep voice.
"There is another thing. You know the situation in Jinli Kingdom. Now that the Third Prince is back, the Third Prince has a engagement with the Dongfang family, this matter must be decided as soon as possible." A glimmer flashed in Dongfang Lie's eyes.
"Dad, the third prince has no intention of getting married, and will not fulfill the so-called engagement." He almost forgot about this. As for the fifth sister who had a engagement with Chen, he had never met many times.
"I know, of course I won't let Zi Han marry me. Not to mention that Zi Han is too young and has a bad mind. More importantly, even if the third prince wants to marry Zi Han, the Dongfang family will not give it."
