Chapter 322 How about I become the emperor?

Xiao Ning led his men all the way to the palace.

On the way, they encountered a team heading towards the palace. When the two sides met on the narrow road, the other side asked sternly, "Who are you?"

Xiao Ning said: "One of our own."

The other party said: "Where is the token!"

Xiao Ning: "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll show you right away."

After saying that, he raised his hand, and the crossbow in his sleeve flew straight towards the opponent's door.

The soldiers around Xiao Ning also raised their hands at the same time in tacit understanding, and the crossbow arrows in their sleeves shot straight towards the opposite side like raindrops, piercing the enemy's heads.

The enemy's troops were not numerous and were quickly wiped out.

Xiao Ning and others stepped over each other's corpses and headed towards the palace gate.

Shang Xi said that Ximen has his people.

So they went straight to the west gate.

With Shang Xi there, they entered the palace smoothly.

"Several waves of troops have just entered the palace. Your Highness, please be careful."

Shang Xi smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, General Xiao is here, I'll be fine."

Xiao Ning nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will protect him."

The person among them who is most familiar with the palace is Shang Xi.

He took Xiao Ning and others towards the inner palace.

If the Second Prince wanted to lure Shen Zhiyi and his son into the trap, the ambush site must be chosen near the Qinzheng Palace where the emperor was recuperating.

As we got closer, we saw flames rising into the sky in that direction, as bright as day.

When we rushed over, the two sides were fighting fiercely.

As the soldiers of the Xiao family army joined the battlefield, the fight between the two sides instantly turned into a three-way melee.

Except for our own people, the rest are enemies, so just kill them.

Xiao Ning, on the other hand, protected Shang Xi and walked all the way to the front of the palace.

In the palace, the second prince and Shen Zhiyi were also confronting each other.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight until a clear and crisp voice was heard.

"Wow, it's so lively, it seems I came at the right time!"

When Shen Zhiyi heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw Xiao Ning in armor.

She still looks the same, a little sloppy, but she always exudes a vigorous vitality and a sense of freedom that transcends everything.

Shang Xi was standing next to her.

The two of them standing side by side look so well matched.

The fact that the two of them appear here together means they have already talked it out.

Xiao Ning also knew his identity.

What does Xiao Ning think?

Shen Zhiyi stared straight at Xiao Ning, which made Shang Xi very unhappy.

He frowned and said, "If you keep looking around, I'll have your eyes gouged out!"

The second prince looked at Shang Xi, then at Shen Zhiyi, and smiled.

"It seems that my fake sister and real brother both like this gay man from the Xiao family."

"Xiao Qing, which one do you like?"

"How about this, Xiao Qing? How about you and I join forces to suppress the Shen family. After I ascend the throne, I will grant these two as your concubines. How do you think?"

Xiao Ning looked at Shang Xi beside him, then at Shen Zhiyi in front of him, and finally turned his gaze to the Second Prince.

As the son of a dragon and the grandson of a phoenix, the second prince also looks very good, only slightly inferior to Shang Xi and Shen Zhiyi.

Xiao Ning seemed to be in a dilemma. "This makes it very difficult for me to decide..."

"Let's not talk about them. I think the Second Prince still has his charm. How about this: the three of you serve me together, and I'll be the emperor?"

The expressions of everyone present suddenly became extremely ugly.

It’s not that I think Xiao Ning really wants to become emperor and force these three people into the harem, but I just think that Xiao Ning is simply insulting the princes.

Only Shen Zhiyi looked thoughtful.

"presumptuous!"

The second prince shouted angrily.

At the same time, a hand stretched out from behind Xiao Ning and twisted the back of her hand that was exposed while holding the gun, and an angry voice came from behind her.

"Tell me again, how many people do you want to serve you?"

Xiao Ning quickly put on a smile and said to Shang Xi, "Baby, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously. I only love you."

Seeing Xiao Ning trying to please Shang Xi like this, Shen Zhiyi knew that he should be happy for Shang Xi, but a wave of bitterness rose in his heart.

Originally... he could be so happy.

It was he who pushed Xiao Ning, who once loved him, away and into Shang Xi's arms...

"Ling Hui, come here, come to your father."

Prime Minister Chen called out to Shang Xi.

"You are my son. You should stand with me and support the late emperor's legitimacy."

After that, he turned to Xiao Ning and said, "Xiao Yanqing, your father, Xiao Rong, was deeply trusted by the late emperor. I believe you don't want to bring disgrace upon the reputation of General Zhenbei."

"If you want to be with Ling Hui, I won't object. After His Highness ascends the throne, you can live your life however you want. Don't worry about rumors. Your father will always be your strongest support."

Xiao Ning: “…”

No, this Shen Xiang, is he so shameless?

It seems like Shang Xi didn't inherit any of these traits.

Shen Zhiyi also seemed to have not learned even one tenth or one twelfth of what he had learned.

Xiao Ning didn't react much, but Shang Xi's face turned ashen with anger.

"Shut up! I don't have a father!"

Minister Chen wanted to say something else, but he saw several soldiers in black armor walking towards him, covered in blood.

The leading general knelt before Xiao Ning and Shang Xi, clasped his fists and said, "General, Your Highness, we have won. The rebels in the palace have been completely eliminated!"

Xiao Ning nodded, turned to look at the two real princes opposite him, and said with a smile: "It seems that we are more skilled."

The Second Prince said, "Xiao Qing, do you want to help Duan Hui ascend to the throne? He is a fake!"

"My father valued you so much back then. You can't betray him just for a man. Let me tell you this. I know you like men, so you help me. When I succeed to the throne, I'll gather all the handsome men in the country and send them to you, so you can enjoy the happiness of having two wives!"

Xiao Ning: “…”

She looked at Shang Xi and said with a smile, "What should I do, baby? I am very moved by the Second Prince's proposal!"

Shang Xi: “…”

This is obviously a joke.

After all, that was the throne, and Xiao Ning couldn't give it up.

So he smiled and said, "Why don't we agree to the Second Prince's offer? When the time comes, we can enjoy the handsome man he bestows upon us together. Wouldn't that be a pleasure?"

After saying that, the couple looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Everyone in the hall: "..."

Seeing this, the Second Prince, although he did not agree with the two people's bizarre hobbies, still continued: "When the time comes, I will give you a large house so that you can have fun!"

Shen Zhiyi: “…”

He looked at the Second Prince speechlessly. The two of them were just teasing him, but he thought they were serious.

Xiao Ning is not a person who is obsessed with desires, and Shang Xi is even less so.

He walked towards Xiao Ning, but was stopped by Xu Chong when he was more than ten feet away.

The spear was pressed against his neck. "General Shen, if you come any closer, I'll chop your head off."

Shen Zhiyi stopped there.

He looked at Xiao Ning, a faint smile still on his lips, just like always.

"General Xiao, you once said you wanted to support the empress."

"Have you decided on the candidate?"

Xiao Ning: "What does it have to do with you?"

Shen Zhiyi said: “If there is really no suitable candidate, why not settle for the next best thing and choose me?”
