Chapter 140 Secret Joy
"Yes! I understand,"
Knowing that Nangong Junze's decision would not change, let alone the news concerning the princess, Huan Wu could only agree.
Jiang Xinxue had not expected that Nangong Junze would attach so much importance to her. She could not help but feel secretly delighted in her heart. It seemed that what her master said was right. Nangong Junze's performance towards the lost Princess Nanmo was more important than she had imagined.
No matter who the princess of Nanmo Kingdom is, or whether she is still alive or not, from today on, Jiang Xinxue is the only princess of Nanmo Kingdom.
Nangong Junze arranged for Jiang Xinxue to stay here, and then gave Xiang Fei some instructions before leaving with Huan Wu.
Nangong Junze had just returned to the palace when he heard the servants hurried over. Seeing Nangong Junze's figure, the servants hurried forward to greet him and then began to explain their purpose: "Master Lu, the prince invites you. Please go to the front hall!"
Nangong Junze paused, then silently withdrew his steps and placed the thing in his hand into Huan Wu's hand. Nangong Junze then looked at the attendant and said:
"Let's go! Don't keep the prince waiting too long!"
"Yes, Master Lu, please!"
When Xiao Jinhui saw Nangong Junze coming in, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He quickly stood up and walked a few steps towards Nangong Junze.
"Brother Lu, you've kept me waiting for so long! Come on, please take a seat, please!"
Xiao Jinhui looked at Nangong Junze coming over, and was so excited that he was a little incoherent, with a smug look on his face.
Nangong Junze looked at Xiao Jinhui so excited, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he looked at Xiao Jinhui and said with a bow: "Prince Ze, you are too polite. It seems that Prince Ze has gained a lot from this trip!"
Seeing Nangong Junze being so polite, Xiao Jinhui was very satisfied. He pulled Nangong Junze to sit at the table, then looked at Nangong Junze and said proudly:
"Master Lu's strategy is truly brilliant! I followed Master Lu's method and had my subordinates start with small tasks one by one. The results were very effective. I didn't even need to recommend myself, and my father entrusted the Ministry of Revenue's reserve supply to me. Now that the autumn harvest is almost here, I can make a big splash!"
Listening to Xiao Jinhui's words, Nangong Junze couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Emperor Shunqing would actually give this matter to Xiao Jinhui. Seeing Xiao Jinhui rubbing his hands in anticipation, Nangong Junze's eyes flashed with contempt.
With Xiao Jinhui's mind, he will definitely not miss this good opportunity to take action. No wonder Emperor Shunqing is now eager to achieve success and wants to cooperate with Nanmo Kingdom.
Just from the personalities of his several princes, one can already see the predicament of the Kingdom of Dongli. However, it is not that there are no people with outstanding abilities. It's just that he has been away from Kyoto for so long that there is probably no place for him in Kyoto anymore.
If Xiao Jingchuan could be eliminated, the Dongli Kingdom would be like a pile of loose sand. It is estimated that it will not be long before the Dongli Kingdom will destroy itself. At that time, it will be easy to take it down without any soldiers.
Here, Xiao Jinhui was still chattering about his own grand plans, but he didn't know that at this time, Nangong Jun was also secretly plotting how to easily take over Dongli Kingdom. The two of them had different thoughts, but they chatted happily.
Looking at Xiao Jinhui's cheerful face, Nangong Junze couldn't help but lower his eyes. Thinking of the person he met today, Nangong Junze couldn't help but feel alert.
A thought flashed through his mind: how could he have forgotten this matter? You know, street rumors might be deliberately spread by someone. If people are not afraid of those rumors, he will definitely get accurate information. Thinking of this, Nangong Junze couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinhui. Seeing his complacent look, Nangong Junze immediately sat up straight and asked Xiao Jinhui:
"Prince Ze, I encountered an interesting thing today! I heard that she is the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, but her situation is very miserable. I don't know why she is so miserable if she is the daughter of the Duke's mansion. I wonder what the hidden story is?"
Hearing Nangong Junze's words, Xiao Jinhui's smile froze, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Nangong Junze and asked: "Duke Dingguo's Mansion? This..."
Suddenly hearing Nangong Junze mention the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, Xiao Jinhui was unable to react for a moment. After a long while, he looked at the attendant beside him and said, "In the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, is there any girl like what Master Lu described?"
Seeing Xiao Jinhui's gaze, the attendant naturally didn't dare to hide anything. He looked at Xiao Jinhui and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the girl from the Jiang family that Mr. Lu mentioned must be the fourth girl from the Jiang family, Jiang Xinxue. I heard that she made a lot of jokes recently, but now she has been sent to the Fang family by Mr. Jiang Er. I haven't heard anything about her for a long time. I didn't expect that Mr. Lu would meet her by chance. What a fate!"
After listening to the words of his attendant, Xiao Jinhui finally reacted. However, he had only recently learned about this matter. If it were not for his father granting Xiao Jinrui a marriage, the Princess Rui would be Jiang Wanrong, the girl from the second branch of the Jiang family.
He would not pay too much attention to this matter, but it was precisely because of this that he asked someone to check Jiang Wanrong's background, and only then did he know that Xiao Jinrui had fallen for a woman this time. However, this was a rare opportunity for him, so he naturally would not spread it.
On the contrary, he would help Jiang Wanrong conceal the truth and wait for a chance in the future to give Xiao Jinrui a heavy blow. I think Xiao Jinrui will definitely be grateful to him as his royal brother.
Unexpectedly, it was brought up today. Naturally, he would not hide anything and hurriedly told Nangong Junze the news he had found out. Thinking of this, Xiao Jinhui felt very happy and immediately looked at Nangong Junze and said:
"Mr. Lu, you don't know that there are many hidden secrets in this matter! That fourth Miss Jiang is just a scapegoat, and that Jiang Hongtai is also a cruel person.
Originally, I thought that only the royal family lacked family affection, but I didn't expect that even those aristocratic families were the same, haha... they are all the same!"
Seeing Xiao Jinhui like this, Nangong Junze couldn't help but hold the wine glass in his hand. He didn't expect that what Doctor Qi said was true. Jiang Xinxue's life in the Jiang family was so difficult.
Thinking of the unfair treatment she received, there was no resentment in his eyes, and he was still full of hope for life. If she was really his sister, he would definitely make up for the harm she had suffered outside over the years.
