With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"No." Li Shuang shook her head with some regret. "I heard that Prince Rui was not in the palace at the time and escaped the disaster."

"Left the manor? They're really lucky to be alive." Nangong Wu gritted her teeth inwardly.

When she went to the study, she clearly saw that bastard had just left.

Needless to say, Nangong Xun left the study and then left the mansion, thus escaping a disaster.

"Princess, if Prince Rui brings his men to search, should we let them in?" Li Shuang asked.

"Let them in." Nangong Wu's eyes were cold. "This is the Emperor's order. If we stop them, it will only make us look guilty."

Anyway, the item is in her space, so they can't find anything there.

"Go and fetch Young Master Xiao."

In Nangong Xun's eyes, Xiao Lin was her man, so he had to live with her.

"Understood." Li Shuang withdrew.

Li An went out to fetch hot water and helped her wash up.

Nangong Wu thought of the things in the secret room. They were the wealth accumulated by the Prince's Mansion and the Huo family. Only the original owner of the body, her father, and the Flying Feather Guard knew about them. She absolutely could not let Nangong Xun find out, lest it arouse Emperor Mingde's suspicion.

After all, she had just said she had no money left.

After washing up, she went to the secret room and put everything into her spatial storage.

Back at Zui Mei Courtyard, they found that Granny Feng had already set out breakfast.

Nangong Wu sat down at the table to prepare the meal, and Li Shuang brought Xiao Lin over at the same time.

"Young Master Xiao, please come and have breakfast with us."

"Thank you, Princess." Xiao Lin didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the seat opposite her, lifting his robe.

Li An hurriedly set out a bowl and chopsticks for him.

They ate their breakfast in silence, neither speaking in bed nor while eating.

Nangong Wu secretly observed Xiao Lin and saw that he sat upright, ate elegantly, and every move he made revealed his good upbringing, which was pleasing to the eye.

This man is definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't have such good manners.

Is he a sworn enemy of Nangong Xun, perhaps a descendant of some aristocratic family? And was his family harmed by Nangong Xun?

Just then, a commotion arose outside the courtyard gate.

Nangong Wu and Xiao Lin's faces darkened simultaneously, and they put down their chopsticks.

Granny Feng came in and said, "Princess, soldiers have come to search the mansion."

"Let them investigate," Nangong Wu said calmly. "Take all of these away, and bring Yu'er, Jue'er, and Xi'er over here."

"Yes." Granny Feng called over two maids and instructed them to clear the table.

A little while later, the three wet nurses brought the three children over.

Xiao Lin was somewhat surprised to see that there were three children.

"Wah~~" Nangong Yu suddenly burst into tears.

"I'll carry you." Xiao Lin stood up and took Nangong Yu from him.

Strangely enough, when the child was in his arms, he whimpered a couple of times and then stopped crying.

The wet nurse placed the other two children on the soft couch and then respectfully withdrew, leaving only the two adults and three children in the room.

"This isn't the child I held that day." Xiao Lin recognized it; this child was much bigger than the one he had seen last time.

"No, the one I took out that day was my youngest daughter. This is my eldest son," Nangong Wu said.

"Triple birth, and all of them are so good-looking. The princess is truly blessed." Xiao Lin was genuinely envious.

"Thank you." Nangong Wu also felt that her three children were growing up very well.

In her previous life, she lived to the age of thirty-three without ever having been in a relationship. After transmigrating to this world, heaven directly bestowed upon her three children.

Just as she was about to ask about Xiao Lin's injuries, a furious voice suddenly came from outside.

"Get out of the way! How dare you block the Prince's path? Do you want to die?"

"Princess," Li Cheng hurriedly entered to report, "Prince Rui personally came to our palace to search, attempting to enter Zuimei Courtyard, but was stopped by our men."

"No need to stop them, let them in." Nangong Wu's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Yes." Li Cheng turned and left again.

A moment later, Prince Rui entered with a dozen or so guards.

Nangong Wu stood at the doorway, holding her daughter. "Prince Rui, I heard your house was burgled?"

Hearing her gloating tone, Nangong Xun's already gloomy face became even more unpleasant.

"Search for me thoroughly, don't miss a single place."

"yes!"

The guards who came in with him immediately began searching the courtyard.

Nangong Wu's gaze turned cold. "Li Cheng, have the guards in the manor keep an eye on them. If they damage anything, have Prince Rui pay for it at the original price."

"Your subordinate obeys." Li Cheng responded and left the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xun's anger flared up instantly.

"Nangong Wu, the assassin from last time disappeared from your place. I searched the entire capital but couldn't find him. Now that person has broken into my palace, I can't help but suspect that you are hiding that assassin."

"Nangong Xun, I know you're upset about the bombing of your palace, but don't act like a mad dog, biting whoever you see. If you want to take your anger out on me, you should know your own limitations," Nangong Wu retorted without any politeness.

"Haha!" Nangong Xun laughed angrily. "The person who used to only care about love and romance, who would be overjoyed by a single word from Zhou Shaorong, actually dares to challenge me!"

"Otherwise what?" Nangong Wu met his sinister gaze. "Let your people continue to suck my blood?"

"You've fattened your stomachs, and now you want to kill me and take everything from the Huo family for yourselves? Do you think you have the right to vie for the crown prince position?"

"Nangong Wu, what nonsense are you spouting?" Nangong Xun was furious that she had hit the nail on the head.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know best in your heart. Nangong Xun, as long as I, Nangong Wu, am here, you can forget about sitting in that high position." After saying that, Nangong Wu turned around and went back into the house.

She had already broken off relations with the mother and son, so there was nothing she couldn't say.

If this person were to become emperor, he would absolutely not tolerate the Prince Zhen's Mansion, and she and her children would have nowhere to stand.

Nangong Xun watched her retreating figure, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists so tightly they cracked, regretting that he hadn't killed her sooner.

"Search this main room thoroughly for me, and see if there are any hidden rooms or anything like that."

"Yes!" Several of Prince Rui's guards rushed in immediately and searched the house, opening and rummaging through all the drawers of cabinets and tables.

Li Shuang and Li An followed them in.

"You can inspect it, but be careful not to break anything, or you won't be able to pay for it with your lives," Li Shuang coldly warned the guards.

"You shameless woman, you're asking for death." Nangong Xun was furious because he hadn't gotten any advantage from Nangong Wu. Seeing that even a guard dared to threaten him, he suddenly drew one of his guards' swords and slashed at Li Shuang.

Li Shuang instinctively dodged and retreated, but Nangong Xun only wanted to kill Nangong Wu's people to vent his anger, and pressed closer.

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind him.

"Your Highness, please be careful..."

Nangong Xun instinctively turned around and raised his sword to block.

"Snapped!"

Nangong Wu lashed out with a long whip, and Nangong Xun's sword couldn't stop it at all. His hair ornament was knocked off his head.
