Dressed as the prince's substitute? I took the throne

Chapter 262 The Crown Princess Goes in Person

Watching Zhou Chuxuan and Xu Hanyan enter the mansion, Nangong Yanling burst into tears, her eyes dull and lifeless. Even though her legs were numb, she still chose not to stand up.

At this time, it started to drizzle again, and the rain quickly soaked Nangong Yanling's whole body, causing her to feel cold and hot all over, and she also felt dizzy.

I don’t know how long it took, but Nangong Yanling felt that she was about to collapse.

The door of the mansion slowly opened, and a figure holding an umbrella walked out from inside and slowly walked towards Nangong Yanling.

"Your Highness...is that you?"

Nangong Yanling tried hard to open her eyes, but failed. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier as she looked at the figure walking towards her. Finally, she slowly closed her eyes and fell to the ground in the muddy ground.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself lying in her room, and Zhou Chuxuan was sitting on a chair not far away, looking at her quietly.

"Your Highness!"

Nangong Yanling hurriedly tried to get up, but was held down by Su Qiaoer beside her: "Sister Nangong, you caught a cold yesterday. You can't move around now. Just lie down in bed and rest!"

Seeing Nangong Yanling wake up, Zhou Chuxuan waved his hand and Su Qiaoer retreated obediently.

"Your Highness, I...I really don't want to leave you! I won't work for Prince Jin anymore! Before, I...I had no choice!"

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled softly, "Miss Nangong, staying with me is actually more dangerous for you! Do you think, with the methods used by the King of Jin, he will let you go after he learns that you have completely betrayed him?"

"It's better for you to return to him. That way, at least you can protect yourself! If one day, I lead my troops to destroy the lineage of King Jin, then perhaps we can truly reunite!"

"Your Highness, I..."

Nangong Yanling was slightly startled, then realized that there was another deeper meaning in Zhou Chuxuan's words, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, you want me to go to the side of Prince Jin and do it..."

"Shh!"

Zhou Chuxuan put a finger to his lips, making a silencing gesture, and smiled slightly: "Some things can only be understood in your heart. Speaking them out loud is equivalent to revealing the secrets of heaven!"

"Actually, I wanted you to do this yesterday, but you're too stubborn and didn't understand what I meant at the critical moment!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled bitterly.

Nangong Yanling scratched her long hair awkwardly. If it were under normal circumstances and this incident had not happened to her, perhaps she could quickly analyze Zhou Chuxuan's purpose.

But yesterday, she was really confused by the situation. She just wanted to go back to Zhou Chuxuan and didn't think about anything else.

"This mission is incredibly difficult and dangerous. I don't know how long it will take me to fully investigate King Jin's situation and bring him down!"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head: "You have to be mentally prepared. It may take ten years, or even twenty years. Maybe you will never see me again in this lifetime!"

Nangong Yanling fell silent immediately. She had certainly figured this out. She bit her lip tightly and pondered for a moment: "Your Highness, take care!"

"Ok!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled and nodded, then stood up, opened the door and left.

After a while, Murong Xue came in and looked at Nangong Yanling with complicated eyes: "Nangong, are you really leaving?"

Nangong Yanling smiled slightly: "Yeah!"

Murong Xue lowered her head slightly, with a look of reluctance in her eyes: "Nangong, if you don't leave, His Highness will surely keep you by his side. After all, everyone makes mistakes..."

"General Murong, you don't have to worry about me! I have my own things to do when I leave. As time goes by, we will meet again someday!"

Nangong Yanling comforted him softly, "Just stay by His Highness's side and protect him. Perhaps it won't be long before we meet again!"

Murong Xue heard a different meaning in Nangong Yanling's words and quickly asked tentatively, "Do you have any secret plans with His Highness that you haven't told me?"

Nangong Yanling waved her hand, began to get up and pack her clothes, and finally left slowly: "General Murong, take good care of His Highness, be careful, and wait for me to come back!"

After saying this, Nangong Yanling left the mansion.

Little did they know that inside the room, Zhou Chuxuan and Xu Hanyan were standing in front of the window, watching Nangong Yanling's leaving back, with a complicated look in their eyes.

"Your Highness, since you are so reluctant to let Miss Nangong go, why do you insist on sending her into the inner circle of the Jin King? I think the Jin King must be a suspicious person. If he finds something wrong with Miss Nangong, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Xu Hanyan frowned slightly and asked.

Zhou Chuxuan was silent for a long while. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I believe her!"

In fact, apart from Nangong Yanling, there is no better candidate around him. Only Nangong Yanling is originally from the lineage of King Jin. If he returns there, it will naturally be easier for him to obtain information than others.

Xu Hanyan lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and finally raised her head and took Zhou Chuxuan's arm: "Your Highness, you have your own considerations, and I choose to support you!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled slightly, took Xu Hanyan into his arms, and they both looked out the window: "The rain has stopped! Shouldn't the sky clear up soon?"

The next morning, Zhou Chuxuan took the envelope that Nangong Yanling had prepared, which contained the instructions for going to Wang Li.

But now, Nangong Yanling is gone, and he must find someone who is eloquent and good at speaking to go to Wang Li in order to separate Wang Li and Li Yuan and finally achieve victory without bloodshed.

Seeing Zhou Chuxuan's puzzled expression, Xu Hanyan sat beside him and held his hand. "Your Highness, is there no one in the entire court who is qualified for this position?"

Zhou Chuxuan gave a bitter laugh, "My lady, you don't know that Wang Li's place is like a den of dragons and tigers. Even if civil and military officials have some courage, facing such a situation, as a lobbyist, if you can only ensure that you are not afraid, you will not be able to complete the task well!"

Xu Hanyan pondered for a long while, then suddenly said, "Your Highness, how about letting me go?"

"puff!"

Zhou Chuxuan just took a sip of tea and couldn't help but spit it out. He looked at Xu Hanyan in disbelief: "Madam, are you kidding me?"

"You're pregnant, how can I let you go? Besides, it's so dangerous there..."

"Your Highness, I have always listened to you before. This time, can you listen to me?"

Xu Hanyan held Zhou Chuxuan's hand and looked into his eyes seriously.
