But how could Wu Qi change his mind just because of a simple reprimand from Ning Mu?
Wu Qi's eyes became more determined, and his tone was very serious, his expression calm: "I know that my life cannot be compared with the princess's, but I absolutely do not mean to gamble with the princess's life.
I know how important the princess is to Your Majesty, but please believe that I am no less worried about the princess than you are.
But if we really give up going to the border to stabilize the army's morale because we are worried that Shen Jingyi will harm the princess, then we will really lose the big picture for the sake of the small."
In fact, Wu Qi knew very well that if Ning Mu really knew that Ning Wan was in the palace now, she would definitely not leave no matter what.
"Shut up!"
Wu Qi's words touched Ning Mu's sore spot.
Ning Mu kicked Wu Qi in the chest without even a moment's hesitation.
Even though Wu Qi was a general, he was caught off guard by the kick and had to lie on the ground for two or three minutes before he could steady himself.
Ning Mu looked at Wu Qi, whose face was twisted with pain, but did not feel relieved. Instead, he blamed Wu Qi even more in his heart.
If Wu Qi had not been so eager for fame and was unwilling to be just a prince consort, and had not repeatedly rejected his elder sister's feelings, how could his elder sister have provoked Shen Jingyi.
Now, he still has the nerve to say that he is worried about my sister.
Who would believe that!
As expected, Ning Mu glared at Wu Qi.
"I know that the emperor and the princess are blood relatives, but it is precisely because of this that Shen Jingyi dared not do anything to the princess. Otherwise, the princess would have been beheaded by Shen Jingyi as a public display."
Wu Qi knelt upright again, raised his head high, and looked into Shen Jingyi's eyes, as if he would continue talking even if Ning Mu wanted to kick him to death.
Ning Mu didn't expect Wu Qi to say such a thing. She raised her hand in anger and pointed at Wu Qi, "You..."
But Wu Qi didn't look away and continued, "If the emperor really wants to protect the princess, he must be able to restrain Shen Jingyi."
"To Shen Jingyi, the princess is the only one who can threaten the emperor. No one will tear down their last guarantee unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Chen Jingyi has only been on the throne for a short time, and the border areas are still waiting and watching. If the emperor doesn't return in time, the throne of Daning will probably change hands!"
"If it really comes to this, how will the Emperor protect the princess?"
Wu Qi said this, knocking his head heavily to the ground. "If the Emperor does not follow me today, I will remain kneeling on the ground."
Ning Mu looked at Wu Qi who was forcing him to act, and his expression was not very good.
Given his temper, it would have nothing to do with him even if Wu Qi died kneeling here.
But what Wu Qi said was not without reason.
If his elder sister was really in Shen Jingyi's hands at this moment, he would not be able to protect her alone, let alone escape unscathed.
From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with going to the frontier.
Thinking of this, Ning Mu looked at Wu Qi, who was kneeling on the ground but did not dare to show any disrespect, and spoke in a bad tone but still compromised.
"Walk."
Wu Qi immediately looked up, staring at Ning Mu with sparkling eyes, fearing that the other party was lying to him.
But Ning Mu didn't explain too much. Instead, he came to the side, easily got on the horse, and without any intention of waiting for Wu Qi, he went straight to the border.
Seeing that Ning Mu stopped joking, Wu Qi quickly mounted his horse and chased after him.
…
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Shen Jingyi looked at Su Liming who was kneeling on the ground, "What are you doing here?"
Looking at Su Liming, who hadn't done his job well and dared to look for him privately, Shen Jingyi didn't have a good tone.
Su Liming, who was kneeling on the ground, looked confused.
Although it is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, Shen Jingyi's speed of changing his attitude is too fast.
This obviously disgusted tone could mean that he had forgotten what he had told him not long ago.
"Your Majesty, I have completed the tasks you assigned to me before." Su Liming raised his head and began meaningfully.
But after hearing this, Shen Jingyi's mood not only did not improve, but the coldness around him became even heavier.
"It's done, it's done. Why are you coming here to tell me something? Do you want me to issue an imperial decree to praise you?"
When Shen Jingyi said this, he didn't even raise his head. His strong fingers held the pen and sketched on the memorial.
These ministers are really idle.
I clearly warned them last time, but they didn't mention the talent show and instead just chose to choose a queen.
But Shen Jingyi never thought that this was all the work of Doctor Li.
Ever since he knew that his princess was still alive, he began to have ideas.
Doctor Li had been the exclusive imperial physician who had accompanied Ning Wan and Ning Mu since they were young. Moreover, as someone working in the palace, he had some understanding of the court officials, so he leaked the information.
Let them try every possible way to force Shen Jingyi to become the queen, and then find a way to make public the princess's identity as being alive.
At that time, Shen Jingyi would make Ning Wan the queen no matter what.
As for offspring, Doctor Li didn't believe that Shen Jingyi would just chat with the princess under the quilt.
At worst, I can find an opportunity to give Shen Jingyi some tiger and wolf medicine later.
Although it might hurt the princess, Doctor Li is confident that he can nurse her back to health...
Shen Jingyi placed several memorials urging the enthronement of the queen on the other side.
I decided to find something for them to do after a while.
For example, going to the countryside to investigate the people's conditions.
Su Liming, who was completely ignored, coughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, I..."
"Why are you still here?"
Shen Jingyi raised his head impatiently and glared at Su Liming below.
