Bai Tuantuan, who was walking over, happened to hear Ning Nanxiao's words.
Standing still now, it's neither good to move forward nor good to stay put.
Mu Yangzhi, standing to the side, jumped up and shouted, "Ning Nanxiao! You've gone too far! You've got Tuantuan and you've forgotten about your brother! And what about me?!"
Mu Yangzhi lowered his voice: "What's wrong with you lying to me? Ah, tell me, what's wrong!"
Seeing Mu Yangzhi's aggrieved look, Bai Tuantuan thought she was the third party.
She slowly walked over, looked up and met Mu Yangzhi's eyes. He winked at her, and she suddenly understood.
Mu Yang knew that this was done on purpose to lighten the mood.
Sure enough, the Emperor said helplessly, "You brat! Isn't it normal for Nan Xiao to be so concerned about his future wife? Why are you jumping around like that?"
"Wait! What's going on?" Chen Luo roared, glaring angrily at Ning Nanxiao. "You brat! Tuantuan is your sister!"
Ning Nanxiao smiled and said, "Grandpa Chen, I have no blood relation with Tuantuan. Besides, in this Sheng Ning Kingdom, who else is worthy of Tuantuan but me?"
Chen Luo was speechless and glared at Ning Nanxiao: "You're quite confident."
Ning Nanxiao nodded slightly: "Please grant my request, Grandpa Chen."
Ning Nanxiao, standing to the side, was extremely excited: "Yes, yes, you have to grant them their wish! Old Chen, I'll get you whatever you want. Tuantuan is such a wonderful girl, she can only come into my family!"
Chen Luo looked at Ning Chengzhu with annoyance: "My Tuantuan is still young, what's the rush?"
"Brother Bai, aren't you going to say something?"
Bai Han stroked his beard and said helplessly, "As for Nan Xiao, there's a saying that's true: who else could be a match for Tuan Tuan besides him? More importantly, we've watched Nan Xiao grow up, and we know his character and personality."
After thinking about it, Chen Luo's anger subsided somewhat.
However, he still didn't give Ning Nanxiao a friendly look, after all, this was the person who was going to kidnap his granddaughter!
"Besides, there's no use in us being anxious. The main thing is to see how Tuantuan is treated. If Tuantuan doesn't like him, can he really take her away?" Bai Han's words made Chen Luo's eyes light up. "Yes, yes, yes! The main thing is to see how Tuantuan is treated!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor couldn't help but say, "I'm still here! Tuantuan is the Princess I personally appointed to protect the country, so she should at least listen to my opinion. Nanxiao, your road to marriage is still long! Hahaha!"
Ning Chengzhu patted Ning Nanxiao on the shoulder and said with great sympathy, "Good son, your father can't help you anymore. You have to rely on yourself."
Bai Tuantuan was speechless; listening to these people's words, she had no desire to go over!
"Hey, isn't this Tuantuan? Come over here!" Ning Chengzhu greeted her as soon as he saw Bai Tuantuan, then turned to Ning Nanxiao and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go over there!"
Ning Nanxiao chuckled and said slowly, "I heard that the martial arts competition is about to begin today. I'll take Tuantuan there first."
With that, he bowed to everyone and walked directly to Bai Tuantuan's side: "Do you want to come out with me? Or do you want to be questioned by them?"
Bai Tuantuan quickly shook her head and immediately said, "I'll go with you!"
Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in Ning Nanxiao's eyes as he followed Bai Tuantuan away.
“I feel like…” Chen Luo frowned, “This kid is like a fox?”
Bai Han laughed and said, "Alright, let the children handle their own affairs. Tuantuan is smart and won't be like her mother."
When Chen Luo mentioned Chen Zhixiu, he felt very sorry for her: "That child, Xiu'er, it was my fault. I should have stopped her back then."
"Brother Chen!" Bai Han waved his hand. "This isn't your fault, don't overthink it."
"father……"
After Mu Yangrun finished treating his wounds, he came over, only to find that Ning Nanxiao and the others were gone.
Mu Yangzhi scoffed, "Serves you right! Who told you to bully Tuantuan?"
"Second Brother!"
Mu Yangrun called out, but the Emperor interrupted him, saying, "Alright, since you're injured, rest well and don't run around."
After saying this, the Emperor stood up and walked out with Bai Han and Chen Luo.
Mu Yangzhi patted Mu Yangrun on the shoulder and chuckled, "If you keep courting death, you'll find next time that you're dead..."
Mu Yangrun gritted his teeth and said, "It was clearly Ning Nanxiao who did it, so why can't he be punished? I am a prince, and this is an act of insubordination!"
"So what if he's a prince?" Mu Yangzhi looked at Mu Yangrun with amusement. "Does he have an extra eye or an extra ear compared to others? He's still just a human being. You made the mistake first, and Nan Xiao retaliated later."
"Third brother, I advise you to be smart. Don't you understand Father's attitude? Let me put it this way, if the kidnappers captured you and Nanxiao and made Father choose one, Father would definitely choose Nanxiao."
"Why?" Mu Yangrun asked, his face full of confusion. "I am Father Emperor's biological son!"
“Father has many sons, so one more or one less won’t make a difference. But Nan Xiao is different. His abilities are well-known. If you die, you die, but if Nan Xiao dies, then Sheng Ning Kingdom will probably be besieged by other countries.”
Mu Yangrun fell silent, his hands clenched into fists: "So what? No matter how powerful he is, he's still just a dog of Sheng Ning Kingdom! We are the masters of Sheng Ning Kingdom!"
"Bang!"
Mu Yangzhi punched Mu Yangrun in the face.
"Say it again?"
This time, Mu Yangzhi was completely enraged and refused to reason with Mu Yangrun, punching him repeatedly!
Mu Yangrun tried to retaliate, but Mu Yangzhi suppressed him fiercely, pinning his arm and forcing him to meet his gaze: "Mu Yangrun, if these words reach Father Emperor's ears, do you believe you'll be completely finished!"
"Can't I say it? He's just our dog! What does he think he is! How dare he lay a hand on me!"
"Smack!"
Mu Yangzhi slapped Mu Yangrun across the face and then kicked him in the chest: "Get out!"
Before Mu Yangrun could say anything, the imperial physician rushed over: "Oh dear, Third Prince, how did you get injured again? What are you all standing there for? Quickly carry the Third Prince away!"
Then he walked over to Mu Yangzhi and said, "Second Prince, calm down. It is a great taboo for brothers to kill each other!"
“I know you’re angry. The Ning family is full of loyal martyrs. If this gets to their ears, this…” The imperial physician shook his head and sighed. “You should mention this to the Emperor privately. We can’t let the Ning family down.”
Mu Yangzhi took a deep breath and nodded: "Imperial Physician, please treat him as you see fit. As long as he doesn't die, that's fine. I'll go find my father now."
Watching Mu Yangzhi's retreating figure, the imperial physician shook his head. With the Third Prince's brains, how could he possibly want to compete for the position of Crown Prince?
