Ning Qing watched the red figure running faster than a rabbit.
He chuckled and shook his head.
I was too impatient.
I hope I didn't scare my wife.
~~
The butler walked in from the courtyard gate.
Chao Ningqing bowed.
"grown ups".
Ning Qing nodded.
"What is it?"
The butler bowed his head respectfully and replied.
"Someone from the palace has come to summon you to the palace."
Ning Qing raised an eyebrow.
"What is it that you want to say?"
The butler shook his head and returned.
"No".
Ning Qing curled her lips. She wanted to see what tricks the old emperor in the palace was up to this time.
"Okay, get the car ready."
The butler immediately agreed.
When Ning Qing stepped into the Wende Hall again.
There were many more people in the hall.
He gave the old emperor a perfunctory bow.
Unsurprisingly, I heard the words "be granted a seat" again.
After taking her seat, Ning Qing lazily raised her eyes and glanced around.
A middle-aged woman in brocade robes sat beside the old emperor.
The only person who could sit next to the emperor was his empress.
In the center of the hall knelt a young man, his head bowed, his long hair spreading out to cover his face.
The face is not visible.
The old emperor revealed a deliberately feigned sense of guilt and spoke to Ning Qing.
"My dear minister! I am so sorry!"
Ning Qing's face showed a hint of doubt at the right moment.
"Your Majesty, what makes you say such a thing?"
The old emperor glanced at the person kneeling in the center of the hall.
Chao Ningqing said.
"My dear minister, you may not know this, but last night... last night..."
At this point, a look of shame appeared on his face.
Then, his face flushed with anger, he stood up and walked to stand in front of the man kneeling in the center of the hall.
She stretched out her foot and kicked him hard.
Then he pointed at him and gritted his teeth at Ning Qing.
"It's all because of this beast. He got drunk with Miss Lin from your household last night and did some outrageous things."
Ning Qing immediately understood.
This old emperor was really good at calculating.
Knowing that the original owner doted on Lin Zilan and cherished her dearly.
Seeing that she was gradually slipping out of his control, she began to panic.
They want to take Lin Zilan hostage!
Ning Qing looked at the old emperor.
"Where is Zilan? Where is she now?"
Seeing Ning Qing's dark expression, the old emperor quickly smiled.
"My dear minister, please don't worry. I have already ordered someone to send Miss Lin back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence."
Ning Qing looked at the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, I will return to my residence to see Zilan first."
He then gave a perfunctory cupped-hand salute.
Seeing Ning Qing turn to leave, the old emperor quickly spoke up.
"You are too kind, my lord, I have more to say."
Ning Qing turned around and gave him a cold glance.
"Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"
When the old emperor saw Ning Qing's cold gaze, he felt inexplicably flustered.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, calming his mind.
He looked at Ning Qing again.
“My dear minister! Although it was my son’s fault in this matter, we cannot blame either of the two young people who got drunk and did something absurd.”
Ning Qing remained expressionless.
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly. I'm afraid if I get back too late, I might have to collect that silly girl's corpse."
The old emperor choked.
It's not good to go on and on about anything else.
We had no choice but to get straight to the point.
"We didn't want this to happen, but since it's already like this, I have no choice but to grant them a marriage. Take the imperial decree back with you, so that the girl can rest easy and wait for her marriage in peace."
At the opportune moment, a young eunuch approached Ning Qing with an imperial edict.
Bending over, head bowed, and holding it high.
Ning Qing looked at the imperial edict in front of her and sneered.
