“Hu…Hu…”

Ning Que was breathing heavily.

More and more people came out to fight.

Manager Hu, Sima Ao and others all knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us for being late in coming to your rescue!"

"waived!"

Emperor Feng indifferently put away his sword.

He hooked his finger.

He personally stepped forward and captured the girl.

At the same time, he raised his hand and took off her veil.

"Changge? Is that you?"

Emperor Feng was a little surprised.

All the officials looked at each other in confusion.

Many people also recognized the girl.

The former crown prince’s eldest daughter, Ning Changge!

The late emperor’s most beloved little princess.

Unfortunately, the former crown prince committed a serious offense and was expelled from the clan and exiled to Xinzheng. Subsequently, the late emperor died, and Emperor Feng ascended the throne. Various rumors then arose, claiming that Emperor Feng was not the late emperor's son, or that he had murdered his father to ascend the throne.

As the rumors grew increasingly outrageous, the former crown prince quickly launched a rebellion in Xinzheng. Unfortunately, word quickly spread to Chang'an, where it was brutally suppressed within just six months. All the soldiers involved in the rebellion were executed, and the former crown prince's three clansmen were buried alive!

Logically speaking, Ning Changge should have died in Xinzheng.

How could she still be alive?

Gu Yuan watched from a distance.

He looked at Ning Changge with a puzzled look on his face.

His intuition suggested that this matter was most likely related to Qi Wang Tian Zhongxun. After all, Tian Zhongxun had been secretly plotting for years, with over 10,000 private soldiers and an unknown number of hidden armored soldiers.

Look at these assassins, there are dozens of them.

They killed at least dozens of Yulin soldiers.

The means were brutal and it was a very professional assassination.

Obviously specially trained.

Able to kill sentries silently.

Then go to the central army camp and carry out assassination!

They know the layout of the camp very well!

The one I choose is also the one that makes me most tired.

It just happened to be the period of rotation of military camps.

It's obvious that there is an undercover agent!

Gu Yuan saw it clearly, and the other ministers understood it too.

However, no one dared to say anything at this moment.

"Husband?"

"How are you?"

Shen Qinghe walked over quickly.

Ning Que smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

That being said, the wound is obvious.

Because of the cracks in the knuckles, his hands were covered in blood. His left arm was also wounded by a sword, but fortunately it was only a superficial injury. Mainly because he was trying to save the emperor, he was hit so hard by the hammer that his sword was even bent!

Compared to swordsmanship, Ning Que is better at spearmanship.

It is also easier to use.

A look of pity flashed across Emperor Feng's face.

His right hand trembled with anger.

Looking at Ning Changge, he suppressed his anger.

"Long song!"

"After all, I am also your uncle."

"Why do you want to kill me?"

"Because you deserve to die!" Ning Changge raised his head and shouted angrily, "You killed your father and brother, and plotted to usurp the throne. You deserve to die!"

"Did someone instruct you?"

"Traitors and traitors must be put to death!" Ning Changge turned to look at Ning Que, gritting his teeth and saying, "You have inherited the title of king, so you should know that the duty of King Ning is to protect the country. Now that this traitor has seized the imperial power, why are you aiding and abetting his evil deeds?"

"Did you misunderstand something?"

Ning Que frowned.

"Your father was deposed because of his own fault. When the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were recaptured, he was in charge of transporting grain and fodder. He drank too much and accidentally set the baggage on fire. Fearing he would be murdered, he even shifted the blame onto others, nearly causing unrest on the front lines. That's why the late emperor deposed him. He was exiled to Xinzheng, and his brother treated him with the utmost kindness, yet he rebelled. He deserved this fate."

"You know nothing at all!"

"My father was deposed because he was murdered by someone!"

"This is a conspiracy!"

"I want to destroy my father!"

Ning Que immediately looked at Emperor Feng beside him.

The latter was extremely calm.

There was still no emotion visible on his face.

In the end, he just shook his head and sighed.

"Changge, you've been used."

"You could have survived."

"If it weren't for my instructions, do you really think you could escape from Xinzheng?"

"I walk upright and sit straight."

"I have never framed your father. I have a very good personal relationship with my brother. I certainly would not have killed the late emperor. He died from a relapse of an old illness. I was not even in Chang'an at the time. I was in the army in Jingyang."

“That’s right!”

Ning Que nodded in agreement.

He did have some doubts about Emperor Feng.

But he remembered all these things.

He is a pragmatic person.

This applies to both enemies and anyone else.

He remembered that when Emperor Feng was promoted to Crown Prince, he had come to Jingyang early to thank the old Prince Ning for his help. He happened to be in Jingyang for recuperation, so he went to inspect the military camp. After staying there for more than half a month, he suddenly received news that the late emperor's old illness had relapsed and he was on his last breath.

It was the old Prince Ning who personally escorted Emperor Feng back to Chang'an with his three guards and into the palace to see the late emperor for the last time. It was also on that day that Emperor Feng officially ascended the throne!

Therefore, it is impossible for Emperor Feng to kill his father.

After all, he was already the crown prince at that time.

The late emperor has always been in poor health.

Chang Baicao was in Chang'an at the time, and his judgment was that he could only live for another six months at most. Otherwise, the late emperor would not have been so anxious to make Emperor Feng the crown prince.

Ning Que certainly knew the rumors among the people.

But he never took it seriously.

Knowing that these are all means to attack Emperor Feng.

To put it bluntly, it was a propaganda war, intended to destabilize the Fengtian Emperor's rule. With such vast territory, it was easy for spies and undercover agents to infiltrate. Some falsehoods, if repeated repeatedly, can become true, even convincing many people. This is how it takes only a few words to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them.
