Chapter 153 Is the world really in chaos?

Shang Xi did what he said and started to copy the "Clan Records" from memory when he got home that night. However, this thing was extremely long and it would definitely not be completed overnight.

But Shang Xi was not in a hurry. Even if Xiao Ning wanted to do this, he would not do it now.

The imperial court is still covering up the matter and is considering mobilizing local troops to quell the rebellion.

Unfortunately, local generals also have their own ideas.

If the imperial court drags on, the rebel forces will probably grow stronger and stronger.

Xiao Ning was also sitting in the room thinking about the current situation. There was a large map in front of her. She picked up a pen and marked several key disaster areas.

The information I saw at Shang Xi's today was very comprehensive.

But the battle situation is always changing rapidly.

It is possible that in a few days, the rebels' territory will expand significantly.

So far, the imperial court has only ordered local troops to intervene and has not sent anyone from the four major camps. Is it because it is afraid that the rebels will invade Shengjing?

But if we allow the situation outside to continue like this, I'm afraid Shengjing City will be close to falling.

Xiao Ning wanted to challenge for a fight, but she felt that the Dog Emperor would most likely refuse. After all, if her guess was correct, the Dog Emperor was her father's murderer, so it was normal for him to be on guard against her.

but……

The dog emperor still owes her a reward.

I don't know if this reward can be used to get her to go out and quell the rebellion.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

There was a knock on the door, interrupting Xiao Ning's thoughts. She got up to open the door, but saw Fu Xian standing at the door with rosy lips and white teeth, looking pitiful.

A pair of overly seductive eyes looked straight at her.

"Slave, please come to sleep with me tonight..."

Xiao Ning's mouth twitched, "No, go back to your room and sleep!"

Really, the last time she listened to the song, the princess was so angry. If Fu Xian stayed in her room tonight, the princess would probably be furious when she knew.

And there was nothing she could do but look at the pretty face and listen to the creaking bed.

Very boring.

Instead of wasting time, you might as well study the current situation carefully.

"Why?" Fu Xian grabbed Xiao Ning's clothes and said, "Isn't our duty to serve the Prince Consort? If Her Royal Highness knew that we were so negligent, I'm afraid we would be punished..."

Xiao Ning: "...If you stay tonight, you will really be held accountable."

Fu Xian's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. "What do you mean? Why would I be punished if I stayed? My duty in Fuqi Garden is to serve the Prince Consort..."

"Or maybe the Prince Consort doesn't want to put on a show anymore, and instead wants to..."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Ning boldly and reached out to touch Xiao Ning's waist.

Xiao Ning held his wrist, his tone gentle, but with a firmness that could not be refused: "Be good, go back to the room and sleep."

After saying that, he closed the door.

Fu Xian: “…”

Although Fu Xian also didn't like doing this kind of thing with men, if he didn't like it, he didn't like it, and being rejected was being rejected.

He was a little embarrassed and a little awkward.

He is obviously the most beautiful.

Everyone who saw him said he was handsome, but they would always look at him with that sickening gaze and then say it was a pity that he had to be given to someone else.

However, when he arrived at the princess's mansion, no one wanted him.

Although the prince consort sometimes looked at him with lustful eyes, she never behaved beyond the rules and even asked Mr. Yu to teach them to read.

That was a book, something he had never dared to even think about before.

Fu Xian returned to his room after being turned away. Yu Qing, who was watching the fun, smiled and comforted him, "Your Highness is doing this for your own good. Don't be discouraged."

"What do you mean by for my own good?"

Fu Xian really didn't understand.

Yu Qing smiled and patted his shoulder. "You don't need to know. Anyway, living in Fuqiu Garden provides food, drink, and shelter. Just live your life to the fullest. Why bother asking so many questions?"

Fu Xian nodded sullenly: "Oh."

…

The next day, she got up early and had just finished practicing a set of boxing when someone from Hengwuyuan came to say that the princess invited her to have dinner together.

Xiao Ning was sweating all over. After answering, he went back to the house to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

By the time we arrived at Hengwuyuan, it was already much late.

She first apologized: "I am late, please forgive me, Your Highness."

How could Shang Xi be angry with her?

He was very happy that she came.

Shang Xi walked up to her, reached out and pulled down her raised arm, and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite to me? Sit down and eat quickly. It's not hot anymore..."

Xiao Ning was forced to sit beside him.

The two of them finished breakfast together.

"I memorized a portion of the Clan Chronicles last night. Would you like to take a look?"

Xiao Ning was surprised when he heard this: "You're starting to write now?"

Shang Xi brought her to the study. There was a pile of papers on the desk. Xiao Ning picked it up and looked through it. "How long did you write last night? You've written so much..."

"Not long."

Shang Xi said.

Xiao Ning seemed unconvinced. He looked at Shang Xi and sighed, "Your Highness, your health is more important. There's no need to rush this."

Shang Xi: “…”

He simply writes fast.

He also knew there was no need to rush.

But if Xiao Yanqing wanted to misunderstand, let her misunderstand. Seeing her worrying about him, he felt sweet and happy in his heart.

He liked to see how she cared about herself.

Xiao Ning was flipping through the papers and Shang Xi was staring at her.

After Xiao Ning finished flipping through the pages, he looked up and met Shang Xi's gaze. He then hurriedly turned his head away and looked away.

Xiao Ning: “…”

The princess's behavior made her feel restrained.

Xiao Ning didn't like this kind of atmosphere and felt like he couldn't breathe.

She scratched her face and said, "Well...I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Take care, Your Highness."

Shang Xi turned around in a flash.

She pursed her beautifully shaped lips, "Why are you leaving again?"

Xiao Ning: "...I have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to take a look. After all, I am now the Marquis of Jingyuan."

Shang Xi: “…”

He lowered his head and said "oh" in a muffled voice.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ning felt a little uncomfortable, but now was a turbulent time, and since she had decided to start a rebellion, she had to explain a few things to Yuzhu so that she would have a clear idea in her mind.

Shang Xi walked Xiao Ning to the door.

Xiao Ning didn't look back and went all the way back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing Yuzhu, before she could say anything, Yuzhu, with a serious expression, broke the news: "My Lord, the shopkeeper of Jinluozhai said that two months ago, Lin Sanniang and Lin Siniang followed the purchasing agent to Tongcheng to purchase silk. They are already quite late for their originally scheduled return date and have not returned yet."

"The shopkeeper just came to tell me the news yesterday, and he also said..."

Yuzhu said this and looked up at Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning's brows knitted together, and he understood clearly in his heart that bandits were rampant in Dayong and the rebels were spreading like wildfire. Their trip would be difficult to predict...

But Sanniang is smart, and she has a purchasing agent who travels around the country. Perhaps they will stay in Tongcheng when they see that the situation is not right.

I saw the news from Shang Xi yesterday, and Tongcheng has not fallen.

Yuzhu finished her words in a low voice: "They say the world outside is in chaos, and I'm afraid Sanniang and the others...are in great danger."

Xiao Ning said: "They survived a disaster last time, so they will surely be able to turn danger into safety this time."

The Marquis did not refute her, so...

"Is the world really in chaos?"

Yuzhu grabbed Xiao Ning's sleeve and asked, her voice tense and a little panicked.
