Chapter 235 Don’t Marry Her

The news that Prince Ding Xiao Nanchen wanted to break off his engagement with Lady Xiang Chen Ning spread from the palace. Not long after, Chen Ning also heard the news.

When the palace servant quietly passed the message, the Queen Mother was also nearby. Upon hearing the words, she snorted coldly: "Cancel the engagement?"

The old lady looked at him with disdain: "I have granted you my imperial decree. Without my permission, I want to see who dares to cancel the engagement."

After saying this, the Queen Mother said to Shen Ning, "Don't worry, as long as I am alive, Old Seven will never be able to cancel this marriage."

Shen Ning smiled: “The Queen Mother, the old ancestor is mighty.”

The Empress Dowager laughed and scolded her, "Stop your flattery... First, tell me what you're going to do. Is there anything the Imperial Hospital can do about the Seventh Old Master's recent behavior?"

Chen Ning sighed: "The poison in Southern Xinjiang is too complicated, your servant..."

As they were talking, a palace maid came in and reported: "Empress Dowager, Lord Xu, the commander of the Jinyiwei, wants to see you. He said he has something to ask Shen Xiangjun."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Which Lord Xu?"

"Your humble servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good fortune."

Xu Zhiyi, dressed in a dark red flying fish suit, walked to the palace gate with a smile and saluted respectfully, then said: "I have something to discuss with Chen Xiangjun, so I have disturbed you rashly. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."

"It's the third son of the Xu family."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, you guys go talk outside. I need to rest for a while."

Shen Ning hurriedly helped the old lady up and handed her to Aunt Gui, then walked out.

When Xiao Nanchen walked past the gate of the Empress Dowager's Palace, he saw Chen Ning and Xu Zhiyi standing under the flower stand and talking.

Although there were eunuchs and palace maids next to them, the two of them were standing too close!

At this moment, Shen Ning happened to glance over here... His Royal Highness Prince Ding immediately withdrew his gaze, and walked forward coldly without looking around.

She must have heard the rumor that he wanted to break off the engagement, and she must have known the extent of the situation by now.

Xiao Nanchen walked past the palace gate, turned left and entered the pavilion that extended into the lake, and stood there with his hands behind his back waiting.

She had just seen him.

Now that you know you are afraid, you will definitely understand what you should do.

When she comes over to show her goodwill later, she will definitely use those captivating eyes to seduce him again... It's just a scare anyway, and he will just teach her a lesson later.

His Royal Highness Prince Ding looked around and was very satisfied with the thick vermilion pillars.

It's round and smooth, with a bunch of flowers sticking out from the side to block it out. No one outside can see what it's doing behind the pillar...

Shen Ning didn't know that Xiao Nanchen was waiting for her!

After all, the cold and gloomy look on his face when he passed by just now clearly showed that he didn't want to talk to her.

He even wanted to cancel the engagement.

It's not that she was angry. After all, Shen Ning knew that Xiao Nanchen's temperament had changed drastically because of the influence of the insect, and she wouldn't blame him. She was just worried that with Xiao Nanchen's current behavior, if she provoked him again, he might do something.

She has already met Chengying.

The leaders of the Changning Guards were loyal to Xiao Nanchen, but when they heard Chen Ning say that she wanted to go to southern Xinjiang to find a way to cure the poison and that Xiao Nanchen must not know about it, Chengying agreed without saying a word.

"His Highness once said that if anything were to happen to him one day... we would obey the orders of the Lord."

It would be a lie to say I wasn't touched when I heard that.

That was the Changning Guard that Xiao Nanchen relied on the most. Giving such an order to the Changning Guard was equivalent to handing his own life and property into her hands.

Shen Ning felt bitter in her heart, and was even more reluctant to break off the engagement with him at this time... He was harmed by someone, and she couldn't let it go.

That was why, seeing Xiao Nanchen's ugly expression just now, Shen Ning was very cautious and did not step forward. She also did not know that the man who had spoken harshly to her and even wanted to break off the engagement with her was waiting in the pavilion with his hands clasped behind his back for her to come over and admit his mistake, and he had already selected the pillar he would use to teach her a lesson.

In addition to Xiao Nanchen, Shen Ning also has to consider Shen Qingbai's side.

Xu Zhiyi said that Shen Qingbai had been appointed as the inspector, responsible for leading the team to escort the two thousand rioters to Beihai Prefecture.

Those people will be sent to Beihai Prefecture to repair and rebuild the city defenses.

"The appointment document has been issued and cannot be changed. Shen Qingbai is destined to go to Beihai Prefecture."

Xu Zhiyi took out an envelope and said, "This contains the dangers you might encounter on the way from the capital to Beihai Prefecture. You'll pass through several cities along the way, some of which I'm familiar with. My seal is inside. In a critical moment, you can ask Shen Qingbai to use my seal to ask for help..."

Shen Ning paused, then took it: “Thank you, little uncle.”

Xu Zhiyi: "Tsk..."

At this moment, Shen Ning suddenly saw Xiao Nanchen, who had just passed by, suddenly turned back and strode towards this side.

By the time Shen Ning realized something was wrong, Xiao Nanchen had already swung his fist towards Xu Zhiyi...

Xu Zhiyi didn't look back, but he dodged it by turning his head accurately and then turned sideways to meet it.

Shen Ning was completely dumbfounded.

Why are they fighting again?!

The eunuchs and palace maids around were staring with wide eyes in amazement. His Royal Highness Prince Ding had a fierce and murderous aura, while the commander was dressed in a flying fish uniform and looked agile and sharp.

Xu Zhiyi dodged while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, not forgetting to provoke with a half-smile: "What is your highness Prince Ding doing?"

"Stay away from her!"

Xiao Nanchen only said four words, but each word was filled with murderous intent.

Xu Zhiyi smiled. "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Ding wants to cancel the engagement... What does it have to do with you who she's close to?"

In response, His Royal Highness Prince Ding slapped him hard.

Shen Ning looked at the two inexplicable people and suddenly remembered the plot in the melodramatic idol drama she had seen before.

At this time, should she rush up and shout: "Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

eh er (〃′ dish`)q

She rubbed the goose bumps on both sides of her arms, turned around and walked away.

The two men were fighting fiercely, but when they turned around, there was no one there.

Xu Zhiyi was angry and amused, and scolded with a smile: "Still beating, everyone has left."

Xiao Nanchen turned his head and took a look, his expression suddenly becoming even uglier.

The next moment, the two exchanged blows and then retreated together. Xu Zhiyi shook his arms and said, "Your Highness Prince Ding is truly domineering."

Xiao Nanchen looked at him coldly: "She is your niece."

Xu Zhiyi's expression froze for a moment, then he curled his lips again: "She is still His Highness's sister-in-law... His Highness shouldn't have lost his memory, right?"

After saying this, Xu Zhiyi nodded and sighed, "However, Your Highness is indeed able to correct his mistakes. It would be good if you cancel the engagement, so that you won't feel sorry for your savior."

After saying that, Xu Zhiyi nodded slowly to Xiao Nanchen and said, "I will take my leave."

Xiao Nanchen watched him coldly as he turned and left, then turned his head to glance at the palace servants who were secretly watching not far away. Those palace servants fled away in a hurry like frightened birds.

He glanced in the direction Shen Ning left, his face ashen...

On the other side, Shen Ning didn't have the patience to watch the two of them fighting fiercely, so she left and prepared to look for Shen Qingbai.

But just as she passed by the horse farm, she heard a burst of exclamations and screams.

The next moment, Princess Haliangzhu of the Yuan Dynasty was seen running away in a panic, holding her head and screaming.

Above her head, a huge golden eagle spread its wings and covered her completely, leaving her with nowhere to escape. The guards around her waved their weapons but could not get close to her, and those holding bows in the distance hesitated and did not dare to shoot.

Everyone knows that the golden eagle is the favorite pet of His Royal Highness Prince Ding.

At this moment, Ha Liangzhu was knocked to the ground by a claw, and the golden eagle raised its claw and grabbed her head.

Shen Ning was shocked and quickly shouted: "A Diao..."

The golden eagle's claws suddenly paused, and it turned its head. After seeing Chen Ning, it immediately threw away the Haliangzhu, flapped its wings and flew towards Chen Ning. After circling above her head for a week, it flapped its wings and flew away.

Ha Liangzhu sat on the ground in a daze. When he saw the huge golden eagle fly away, he burst into tears...

Shen Ning glanced over there, worried about being blackmailed, so she was very cautious and didn't get close. She asked the palace maid to call the imperial physician, and she continued to move forward. But after taking a few steps, she heard Ha Liangzhu's cry.

"Hello."

Shen Ning ignored it.

She didn't say hello.

But Princess Haliangzhu chased up to her and blocked her way, staring at her with her eyes.

Shen Ning waited in silence to see what she was going to say. The next moment, she saw Ha Liangzhu look away and said stiffly, "You just saved this princess... Thank you."

Shen Ning was very polite: "You're welcome."

"Why did you save me when I stole your man?"

Ha Liangzhu bit her lip and said, "Why don't you just watch that golden eagle scratch my face? That way no one will compete with you for my man!"

Shen Ning was a little amused and helpless: "Princess, I have never thought about what you said. I don't know how to answer..."

She didn't want to talk too much about the potential trouble, and was about to leave after paying her respects. Then she heard Ha Liangzhu say, "This princess will not compete with you for the throne."

Ha Liangzhu sniffed. "He's so mean! He told his subordinates to throw me away if they saw me, and even let his bird attack me... So mean! I don't like such a rude man."

Shen Ning didn't know what to say anymore.

Ha Liangzhu said seriously, "I also heard that he wants to break off the engagement with you. I think that although you have been married before, you are good-looking and seem to have a good heart. You should not marry him."

As if worried that Shen Ning wouldn't listen to her, Ha Liangzhu said to Shen Ning, "Yesterday, my brother and I went horseback riding. In the forest below the palace, I saw him ordering the execution of dozens of people. He made them dig their own graves and then lay in them. He didn't care if there were still people crying out for justice, and he buried them alive... He was so terrible."

Shen Ning paused slightly.

She didn't know this, she only knew that Xiao Nanchen had been in charge of investigating the previous assassination incident these days.

At this moment, Ha Liangzhu's expression suddenly froze.

Shen Ning turned her head and looked in the direction she was looking, and saw Xiao Nanchen, who had just been fighting with Xu Zhiyi, coming from behind.

"This princess has something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Ha Liangzhu had just spoken quite loudly, and she felt that the evil spirit must have heard it.

Ha Liangzhu felt a chill in his heart when he thought of Xiao Nanchen burying so many people alive with an expressionless face.

The pearl on the grassland prefers untamed horses rather than vicious wolves!

Shen Ning was a little stunned.

I don't know what His Royal Highness Prince Ding has done in the past few days after he was poisoned. He actually scared the Princess of the Yuan Dynasty who was trying to seduce him by dancing erotically, and she ran away when she saw him.

Feeling helpless and a little distressed, she stopped and waited for Xiao Nanchen to come over.

"Your Highness, the Lord Court Administrator is not feeling well today, so let me give you acupuncture." Worried about Xiao Nanchen's current temper, she spoke respectfully and cautiously.

Xiao Nanchen glanced at her, hummed lightly, and walked forward expressionlessly: "Just come directly to my residence..."

There are so many people in the Imperial Medical Service, why did the hospital envoy choose to let her come?

It's just another old trick, trying to seduce him like last time...

Unfortunately, he had already seen her true face and was not moved at all!
