Fu Ming's confusion is also Zhao Chengji's confusion.
In the deep courtyard belonging to him and Nangong Yue, he looked at Nangong Yue coldly.
"Why are you doing this?"
Nangong Yue pursed her lips tightly, not knowing how to answer Zhao Chengji.
After knowing that it was Xiao Changfeng who saved people, she regretted it.
It was definitely not a coincidence that Xiao Changfeng appeared so promptly. He should have been paying attention to her and Su Nianyun's actions.
She murmured, "My plan should be perfect, but why did Xiao Changfeng know about it?"
"It would be great if he doesn't come, then I can splash dirty water on Princess Nianyun!"
The former sentence is doubt and the latter sentence is conjecture.
"Nangong Yue, why are you so confused? Su Nianyun saved you in the past, right?"
"Why do you repay kindness with hatred?" Zhao Chengji lost his last trace of patience with Nangong Yue.
"Didn't you deliberately let me pretend to be sick? Why did it turn out that she saved me?"
Nangong Yue said, "How can we repay kindness with hatred?"
"Nangong Yue," Zhao Chengji said angrily, "Why are you so sudden?"
"Could it be that this time you have fallen in love with the Sixth Prince, or the Ninth Prince, or the Tenth Prince, and are going to be their concubines, and that's why you're treating me like this?"
"Your Highness, why...why do you say that?" Nangong Yue had tears in her eyes, "Don't you know who I have in my heart?"
"Before today, I may have known, but after this happens, how do you expect me to know? How should I know?"
"Nangong Yue, you must have been bribed by someone, just like when I found you and we hit it off immediately!"
"Your Highness, you can't insult me like this. I am devoted to you wholeheartedly!"
Nangong Yue did not expect to hear such cruel words from Zhao Chengji's mouth.
"What does it mean to be bribed, what does it mean to hit it off, what do you think the relationship between us is?"
"Nangong Yue!"
Zhao Chengji could not understand her words more and more.
"You and I knew clearly and clearly that we had a cooperative relationship."
"You persuaded your father to use his power to help me, and I used my ability to help you take revenge on Zhao Chengzhi. I have done everything I promised you, so why are you dissatisfied?"
"Dissatisfied?" Nangong Yue was surprised, "Everything I do is for your own good, but you say you are dissatisfied with what I do?"
"Of course you are dissatisfied. Otherwise, why would you treat Princess Nianyun like this?"
"To put it nicely, she is a princess, but to put it worse, she is just a pug kept by the Queen Mother. It was she who made you covet her in the first place. Of course I have to teach her a lesson!"
"Nangong Yue!" Zhao Chengji couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her in the face.
Ruyu's face immediately became red and swollen.
Nangong Yue covered her face in disbelief, tears streaming down her face, "Your Highness, you hit me for another woman?"
After beating the person, Zhao Chengji already felt a little regretful. Now is not the time for him to fall out with the Nangong family. He will need Nangong Ren too much later.
So, Zhao Chengji tried his best to soften his voice, "I just... I was so anxious..."
He carefully touched her cheek with his hand and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Nangong Yue slapped his hand away, "Don't be so pretentious here. What I did today must have touched your sore spot, otherwise you wouldn't do this to me!"
"Also...we are just a cooperative relationship. Since we have achieved each other's goals, then..."
She wanted to say it freely, so let's just break up!
But when she thought of this word, her heart ached involuntarily. She really fell in love with Zhao Chengji, not just in words, not just in show.
"Yes," Zhao Chengji said, "what you did today really touched my sore spot!"
"I'll just say it!" Nangong Yue's heart hurt even more.
He just fell in love with Su Nianyun, and her intuition was very accurate.
At the same time, the strong jealousy that broke out in her heart made her regret why Su Nianyun had to be rescued today, and why didn't she just die!
"Yue'er, calm down and listen to me slowly..."
In order not to intensify the conflict further, Zhao Chengji told her everything, "But what hurts me is not the love between children, but the fact that Xiao Changfeng and Su Nianyun are both my right-hand men..."
"If you offended them today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to move forward in the future!"
"Your Highness, what did you say?"
After hearing the news, Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief, "What do you mean when you say Su Nianyun is your right-hand man?"
The prince said that Xiao Changfeng was his right-hand man, and she believed it, but what happened to Su Nianyun?
"In the court, Su Nianyun was played by the imperial censor. The reason why I tried my best to help her was not because I loved her or liked her for such ridiculous reasons, but because of her, you and your father, I was able to embark on this journey.
The Road to Princehood.”
"This is impossible," Nangong Yue didn't believe it at first, "Su Nianyun is a prostitute, what you want is the dowry left to her by the Queen Mother, right?"
"If you don't have enough money, I also have it. If I don't have enough money, my family will have even more..."
When it comes to money, Nangong Yue, who has been pampered since she was a child, has no idea about it.
Hearing her say such childish words, Zhao Chengji felt a little helpless.
Why didn't he realize that she was so naive at the beginning?
But even though he despised her in his heart, he remained gentle on the surface.
"Yue'er, do you know how much money Su Nianyun has supported me since I went to war?"
Nangong Yue shook her head, "This is a secret communication between you two. How could I know about it?"
Zhao Chengji said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. I'll tell you slowly..."
"When I first arrived in Mobei, she gave me 300,000 taels. Later, when winter came, she made the first batch of military supplies for the army. It seemed that she could collect the money from the court, but the money returned to the army.
I’m here.”
"Maybe you can sneer at three hundred thousand taels, but do you know how much it would cost to make clothes and bedding for hundreds of thousands of cavalry?"
After listening to Zhao Chengji's words, Nangong Yue shook her head again, "Is...how much?"
"Those military supplies were made in two batches, totaling 800,000 taels."
"With these 800,000 taels in my pocket, I was lucky enough to win a battle on the border amidst the struggle among several princes for power, and successfully attracted the emperor's attention to me!"
"So I said, Xiao Changfeng and Su Nianyun are equally important to me. Can you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Chengji's eyes turned slightly red as he recalled the difficult wartime life.
Nangong Yue leaned closer to him cautiously, "Your Highness, you should explain this to me as soon as you return to the capital. I didn't know that Su Nianyun secretly helped you so much!"
"What is Su Nianyun's relationship with me and how important it is to me? When I was in San Dynasty, I had already explained it to Nangong Shangshu immediately. Did Shangshu tell you about it?"
Nangong Yue was agitated, she thought it was too late to regret.
The trouble has already happened, and we can only do our best to make up for it.
"Your Highness, I am too petty. Since I was the one who caused this incident, it is up to me to apologize to Princess Nianyun!"
"I'd better go in person to apologize or anything like that!"
Zhao Chengji let out a long sigh, "Although I can't give you a title now, in my heart, you are the person I love most..."
"Your fault is my fault, and I will bear all the consequences!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." After hearing Zhao Chengji's touching remarks, Nangong Yue was deeply moved.
