281: To be tolerant to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself

Because of Yun Yubai's help previously, most people in Kyoto bought Fu Zhenzhai.

With the Ghost Festival approaching, Nan Li also took the time to go back to Anyang Hou Mansion to check the talisman array that had been laid out earlier.

When she comes back, the old lady will definitely let her eat at her parents' house.

After the meal, she took the old lady's pulse and checked her body.

"Grandma is in good health, but she has to pay attention to rest and not eat too greasy food." Nan Li warned.

The old lady smiled and nodded: "I've written it down."

She also wants to see her grandchildren get married and have children, so she will take good care of herself.

But she soon looked solemn again and asked: "Do you have any clues about your third brother being framed?"

Nan Li shook her head gently: "Not yet."

Even the case of the water ghost has no clues and is now at a standstill.

The old lady sighed softly, raised her head and said to Mrs. Shen: "Now Wanyi's body is almost six months old. You should take good care of her and try not to go out."

Mrs. Shen agreed, "Don't worry, mother, Wanyi is very sensible herself."

This is Xiao Wanyi's first child, and she is pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Chu family. They all know the importance and will never act arbitrarily.

Nan Li had visited Xiao Wanyi's mother and son before and had a good impression.

Nan Li was happy and looking forward to seeing her little nephew born in a few months.

On the night of July 14th, nothing major happened.

However, there are always one or two evil spirits and fierce ghosts causing trouble, so Nan Li still has to be busy outside for an hour or two.

The night was dark, ghosts were wandering around, and there was no one on the street.

But there was the sound of horse hooves and wheels on the other side of the street.

Nan Li had just subdued an evil ghost, sheathed the Xuan Yue Sword, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Who is so brave this night?

The carriage is coming.

There is a lantern hanging on it with the word Cao written on it.

Because it was rare for hundreds of ghosts to see a living person tonight, they couldn't help but surround them.

But the people inside were upright, and they didn't dare to get too close, lest they burn themselves.

The carriage stopped in front of Nanli.

The coachman said: "Master, we have found the Ninth Princess."

Mr. Cao Ge raised the curtain and saw Nan Li standing in the night, dressed in a smart outfit that was convenient for movement, with only a sandalwood hairpin stuck in her bun and no other decorations.

It was obviously a simple outfit, but her face was bright and stunning, and her whole body exuded nobility and coolness.

"I admire the Ninth Princess for her compassionate heart and exorcising evil spirits for the people." Mr. Cao Ge said.

Nan Li raised her eyes and looked at him: "Cao Ge Lao is traveling on the Ghost Festival just to watch me catch ghosts?"

Mr. Cao Ge smiled and stroked his beard, "I am indeed here to see the Ninth Princess, but I don't want to watch the Ninth Princess hunt ghosts, but I want to say something."

"Master Cao is also very good at choosing time." Nan Li's lips twitched.

Mr. Cao Ge said helplessly: "The Ninth Princess went out earlier, and there were people around her. I couldn't find a chance."

He raised his hand and said please again.

Nan Li felt a little strange in her heart, but she still got on the carriage.

Mr. Cao Ge has been an official for many years, but because he came from a poor family, he has always been honest and his carriage is very simple.

He took out the oil lamp and turned over the fire folding book again.

"I'll do it." Nan Li took the fire charm and lit the oil lamp.

The carriage suddenly became bright.

Mr. Cao Ge looked at it for a moment, and then he laughed: "I heard that the palace's carriage used night pearls. My oil lamp made the princess laugh."

Nan Li sat upright, the interview was still the same: "Master Cao, why don't you just say it if you have something to say?"

Because of its simplicity, there was naturally no tea set or anything else in the carriage.

Mr. Cao Ge was too lazy to talk in circles and simply went straight to the point: "Does the Ninth Princess know that some officials had their tongues cut out or had a few teeth knocked out because of their bad words? They complained to the emperor, but the emperor not only refused to provide them with justice, but also had their teeth knocked out.

Instead, he gave them thirty blows with a cane. Some of the weak ones could not survive and died of illness."

Nan Li lives between two o'clock and one line these days, and has no time to pay attention to things outside.

Most of her current sources of information come from the palace.

But Qingfeng and Yesiheng didn't tell them about this.

She thought about it and quickly understood, saying, "Did the prince do it?"

The candlelight flickered, and Mr. Cao Ge's face was half dark and half bright.

He snorted softly: "The prince is really hiding this from you. The ninth princess is getting rid of evil spirits and accumulating merit, but the ninth prince is ruthlessly committing murder and evil over there. No matter how much the ninth princess does, I'm afraid she won't be able to offset these karma.

, I don’t know if the Ninth Prince will sleep peacefully tonight.”

Nan Li's eyes were cold.

She looked directly at Mr. Cao Ge and said, "The fact that the prince is so angry shows that these officials are seeking death themselves."

"..." Mr. Cao Ge was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Nan Li in surprise, and his mouth trembled, "You...how can you be so ignorant of right from wrong? Those officials just said a few dirty words and were only punished with a slight punishment, why would they be so ruthless?"

"Bullshit? What did they say?"

Old Cao Ge was at a loss for words.

How could he say those words after reading the books of sages?

Nan Li twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Master Cao can't say it out loud, which shows how dirty what they say is. Based on my understanding of the prince, this is just a small punishment but a big warning. They don't behave with their tail between their legs.

, but you went to complain to the emperor, who can blame you for seeking death?"

Mr. Cao Ge was so angry that his chest hurt at her words.

His cheeks turned red and he patted his chest to catch his breath.

After a moment, he cursed angrily: "Ninth Princess, it turns out that you and the Ninth Prince are in a den of snakes and rats, and they are colluding together!"

Nan Li smiled instead: "We are indeed a match made in heaven. Thank you very much, Mr. Cao, for the compliment."

Mr. Cao Ge almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

He originally wanted to start with Nan Li, so that Ye Siheng could be restrained and act less erratically and harshly.

I didn’t expect that she was so indifferent to right from wrong!

"One of you and your wife can cover the sky with one hand in the court, and the other is loved by the people among the people. The country of Mu is under your control, and anyone who disobeys you will have no way to survive." Cao Ge's old words were sonorous, "I am afraid that the country of Mu will be destroyed

It won’t last for many more years!”

Nan Li's eyes darkened and she said, "We are full and have nothing to do, so how could we cut off people's livelihoods for no reason? Besides, we don't know how long the Mu Kingdom can last, but we will never lose at the hands of the prince.

Here, Mr. Cao feels that the prince is ruthless, so it is better to take good care of his disciples and warn them to do their jobs well and not to pay attention to other people's private affairs, so as not to invite death."

She had a cold expression on her face, but her tone was warning.

Mr. Cao Ge's face turned dark and his body was shaking with anger. He asked, "Ninth Princess, you are a Taoist. Shouldn't you be kind and tolerant to others?"

Nan Li was about to get off the carriage, but when he heard this, he turned around.

Her eyes were dark, faintly cold, and her voice was as sharp as a knife, shattering the silence of the night:

"I practice to make myself strong and live a happy life. Whoever makes me unhappy, I will settle accounts with."

To be tolerant to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.
