97: I hope you won't make a mistake.

Supervision Office.

Facing Su Xingmeng's question, Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, "I'm not very sure, but if I were to guess boldly, given his temperament and the fact that he can't directly act against me, it's highly likely!"

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue didn't say much, because she wasn't very fond of that younger brother either, and wasn't sure if he would truly do such a thing.

Su Xingmeng glanced at the silent Nangong Ruoxue, a bitter smile involuntarily appearing in her heart.

She seemed to have truly been drawn into a killing calamity!

Now that her Master was absent, and her so-called Senior Brother and Senior Sister were nowhere to be found, she had no means of self-preservation!

Su Xingmeng took a deep breath, and looked at the two again, "Little Prince, then I'll trouble you for this period. Xing Meng is extremely grateful!"

Nangong Yu waved his hand with a bitter smile, "There's no need to say that. Strictly speaking, this matter started because of me, so I should be responsible for you!"

Su Xingmeng glanced at Nangong Yu, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and said nothing more.

Nangong Ruoxue smiled, "Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. I'll take you two around first!"

"Okay, thank you, Eldest Imperial Sister!"

"Thank you, Eldest Princess!"

...While the four were strolling leisurely in the Supervision Office, the news of Nangong Yu and Nangong Jinglin's conflict quickly reached Nangong Aotian's ears.

Nangong Aotian tapped his fingers on the armrest, his expression as calm as an ancient well, lost in thought.

After a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "Although Jinglin's actions are lacking, and his temperament is truly not great, Yuer's words were a bit too severe."

"If his words today spread, those court officials who originally had no intention of Jinglin ascending the throne will likely be even less inclined to choose him. Even those who are neutral, or even favorably disposed, will distance themselves from him!"

Eunuch Yan stood to the side, not daring to speak, and not even wanting to hear these words.

But it seemed everything was beyond his control!

Nangong Aotian shook his head slightly, "Never mind, let nature take its course!"

Nangong Aotian didn't want to think any further, but then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, you just said that Su Xingmeng and Yuer got together?"

Eunuch Yan quickly nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant forgot to notify the Supervision Office guards, which almost prevented Su Xingmeng from entering the Supervision Office. Thankfully, the Little Prince brought her in. This is this servant's fault, and I ask Your Majesty to punish me!"

Nangong Aotian waved his hand slightly, "Alright, just be more careful next time."

"Understood!"

Eunuch Yan quickly nodded, his face filled with gratitude, and he respectfully stood to the side.

But he hesitated for a moment, then cautiously spoke, "Your Majesty, two more messages came from the Supervision Office. This servant doesn't know whether to report them, but also dares not conceal them."

"Speak!"

Nangong Aotian's brows furrowed, already sensing that something was amiss.

Eunuch Yan took a deep breath and said, steeling himself, "A message from the Supervision Office reports: The Second Prince previously seemed to have murderous intent towards the Little Prince. Although the feeling was faint, it was indeed there!"

"Bang!"

Nangong Aotian slammed his palm on the armrest of the Dragon Throne and stood up abruptly.

"He's gone too far! How dare he?"

"Your Majesty, calm your anger!" Eunuch Yan immediately knelt down, not daring to lift his head.

Nangong Aotian took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, "And what else?"

Eunuch Yan bowed his head and said, steeling himself, "The Little Prince speculates that the Second Prince might not dare to act against him directly, but for the sake of venting his anger, he might potentially move against Su Xingmeng, who is close to him. He suggests Su Xingmeng follow either the Eldest Princess or him for now!"

"Hiss!"

Nangong Aotian took a deep breath, "How did Su Xingmeng decide?"

He felt his heart grow heavy. Although Nangong Yu was only speculating, if that rebellious son Nangong Jinglin truly did that, his Clear Serenity might very well be finished!

Eunuch Yan quickly said, "She considered it for a moment and chose to temporarily follow the Little Prince!"

Hearing this, Nangong Aotian calmed his breathing and slowly sat down.

"Attendant Yan, go and relay my order to the Supervision Office to secretly keep an eye on Nangong Jinglin. If he makes any abnormal moves, report them truthfully to me!"

"Understood!"

Eunuch Yan quickly nodded, bowed, and exited the main hall to deliver Nangong Aotian's decree.

Nangong Aotian's expression became slightly grave, "Someone, send a few people to secretly protect the Prince of Zhenbei and Su Xingmeng. I will not allow anything to happen to them."

"Understood!"

A voice came from the shadows of the main hall, then fell silent, with no further sound.

Nangong Aotian's expression was somewhat unsightly, and his gaze turned towards the Supervision Office.

'Rebellious son, I hope you don't mislead yourself!' he thought to himself, losing even the mood to process memorials.

Nangong Aotian sighed in his heart, even the mood to deal with memorials was gone.

He took a deep breath, turned and walked out of the main hall, heading towards the Imperial Garden... Supervision Office.

Under Nangong Ruoxue's guidance, Nangong Yu and the others familiarized themselves with the main buildings of the Supervision Office.

At least, without looking at a map, they might now be able to avoid getting lost.

"Xiao Yu, besides the main subjects you're studying, what else do you plan to learn? How about trying to learn the Talisman Way with me?"

Nangong Ruoxue said with a smile, holding Nangong Yu's hand, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

She knew very well that in the Second Imperial Aunt's eyes, it didn't matter what her younger brother learned, even if he wasted his time.

So if she could convince him to study the Talisman Way with her, she would be able to see him often.

But hearing her words, Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, and said with a bitter smile, "Eldest Imperial Sister, you probably forgot what I said before."

"What?"

Nangong Ruoxue was slightly taken aback, looking at Nangong Yu with some confusion.

Nangong Yu smiled helplessly, "Eldest Imperial Sister, I was sent to the Supervision Office because I didn't know about Spirit Medicine and ate the wrong thing, getting poisoned. My mother and the others want me to learn medicine and toxicology!"

As soon as he said this, Nangong Ruoxue's expression became strange, and she remembered this point.

In other words, Second Imperial Aunt Shangguan Yuexi's expectation for Nangong Yu was merely for him to learn some basic knowledge of Spirit Medicine, so he wouldn't accidentally poison himself to death.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, feeling a bit speechless, "Alright then, you can study medicine or toxicology!"

Nangong Yu nodded.

Then Nangong Ruoxue said, "However, besides the time you spend studying medicine and toxicology, you must come and play with me more often."

"Okay!"

Nangong Yu nodded slightly, "In this Supervision Office, besides you three Eldest Imperial Sister, I currently only know Xing Meng and Qing Ling. I'll naturally come to find you when I have time!"

"That works then!"

Nangong Ruoxue smiled, then looked at Su Xingmeng and asked, "Young Miss Su, besides the main subjects you're studying, what do you plan to learn?"

Su Xingmeng's expression was a bit bitter, "Eldest Princess, Xing Meng's Spiritual Root is unusual, making it impossible to Cultivate Cultivation Techniques. Currently, I can only study medicine, which is what Xing Meng currently has a slight understanding of, and I plan to refine it!"

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression a little embarrassed.
