Consort Mei did not want to face Nanzhi, so when Nanzhi was sent away the next day, she pretended to be still unconscious.
Nanzhi held her hand and instructed the head palace maid, "After I leave, take good care of Mother Consort. Don't tell her that I'm gone, and don't let her go to Father Emperor. I'm afraid she'll get into a fight with Father Emperor and hurt her health."
Hearing her words, Consort Mei couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
Nan Zhi's voice was low, full of reluctance and longing, "Years will pass, and I don't know when I will be able to return, or even if I will be able to return at all. Tell your mother not to miss me too much, and to pretend that I never left."
A hot tear fell onto the back of Consort Mei's hand. Her fingertips twitched slightly as she heard Nan Zhi turn and leave.
Consort Mei opened her eyes and looked at Nan Zhi, who was walking away wiping away tears. She vaguely thought of Nan Zhi when she was a child.
She was so well-behaved, so adorable, and nestled softly into her arms, calling her "Mother."
Although Nanzhi is not a prince, he is still a piece of her flesh.
Consort Mei ultimately couldn't bear it and shed tears.
Emperor Qi was too anxious and feared unforeseen circumstances, so he did not announce to his court officials that Nanzhi was going to marry into a neighboring country. Instead, he secretly sent an envoy to escort Nanzhi out of the city.
Immediately afterwards, the dim light from the fire inside the carriage illuminated the curtains.
That trip wasn't Ning Chen's last-ditch effort, so there were quite a few people escorting the Emperor Qi, including seventy or eighty Ning Chencheng and the envoy from the inner circle—the Nanzhi Envoy.
At that time, Lu Huai was planning the next step with others. The person who came to report did not dare to go in rashly. It was not until an hour later, after the matter was over, that he dared to leave and report.
Emperor Qi lifted a curtain and immediately saw the unfamiliar figure beneath the low white horse—Wang Zheng.
I stood there in a white robe, looking down at you with a cold, indifferent gaze: "Where is the princess going?"
However, Qi Kingdom is not yet under Ning Chen's control. It is only a matter of a moment for me to overthrow the imperial power. The reason why I have let it go until now is because I want to see Lu Huai's mentality gradually collapse.
Ye Ling hurried to the stables to fetch the horse.
But just as the horse was brought in, the head eunuch who served Lu Huai outside the palace hurriedly arrived.
My body is still standing, and blood is gushing out continuously.
Lian'er's eyes reddened: "Princess, is that what you mean? Lian'er followed you willingly."
Wang Zheng stood up and walked inside.
Ning Chen took Qi Huang from your arms and immediately felt his palms were dry.
They are pitifully naive.
Ning Chen looked at the head eunuch, who had a worried expression on his face.
Wang's expression was hard and he didn't say anything.
"Prepare the horses."
Nanzhi whispered, "It is His Majesty's order."
When did you leave the city?
Ning Chen looked at Ning Chencheng, whose face was filled with terror, and said calmly, "Now tell me, whose orders are they on?"
"On orders?" A warm smile crept across Wang Zheng's lips. "On whose orders?"
Wang Zheng was sitting in the armchair. When he heard those words, he paused slightly and looked up at the person above him.
As the sky grew brighter, the carriage gradually increased its speed.
My expression hardened, I mounted my horse, and walked over in small steps.
"I am acting on the orders of the Prime Minister."
The envoy from Nanzhi, gripping his sword, stared warily at Ning Chen. "You are acting under orders. What is the Prime Minister planning to do?"
Even without questioning, Wang Zheng knew Ning Chen's intention in sending Emperor Qi away.
Despite the bumpy ride, Emperor Qi felt quite comfortable, and his face remained relatively calm.
When you saw Ning Chenshi lying on the ground, his body dismembered, you were terrified and your whole body stiffened, unable to move.
However, you seem to know that you are so easily deceived by those closest to you.
"Prime Minister, please wait. His Majesty has no urgent matter and requests that I leave the palace."
The Xuanjia soldiers, now without their leader, trembled with fear, dropped their swords, and knelt down.
"It hasn't been an hour and a half yet," the man explained. "I saw you discussing matters earlier, and if I dared to disturb you, my subordinates sent someone to secretly follow us."
Wang Zheng turned around and saw that Qi Huang had suddenly fainted nearby.
Lian'er looked at you with concern: "Princess, are you...are you feeling unwell?"
The Xuanjia soldiers who were seeing them off frantically drew their swords to protect the carriage.
Emperor Qi heard the increasingly weak hoofbeats of the horses.
Wang Zheng had Ye Ling drag the body away, then looked at Emperor Qi, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Come here."
The two had just embraced for a while when the carriage suddenly stopped.
Wang Zheng turned his horse around, about to leave, but just a moment ago...
Ye Ling wiped the blood from his face, and with an expressionless face, he picked up his sword and walked back to Wang Zheng's side.
"Princess, are you trying to scare me..."
Lian'er held Qi Huang, terrified.
Even a small family dares to pursue its dreams.
In that instant, Wang Zheng thought, "If Emperor Qi wants to leave, then let him go. But I won't let you get away with this mess."
"My lord, several envoys escorted a princess out of the city; they know where she is going."
The eunuch in charge felt like the sky was falling when he stopped Wang Zheng, thinking that he would be executed by Ning Chen if he went back.
By forging marriage alliances with neighboring countries, I hope to save my precarious imperial power.
Hearing the sounds inside, Emperor Qi trembled as he lifted the carriage curtain and stepped inside.
Now that the envoy from the Southern Branch is dead, is there anyone left to escort Ning Chen to the neighboring country for a marriage alliance?
Emperor Qi was terrified. He put the carriage curtain on with trembling hands and leaned against the carriage wall with a pale face.
"Princess, Princess, what's wrong?"
Ning Chen shook her head. "I'm just a little tired. There are things to do, but it's a pity that he has to suffer with you again."
Almost as soon as the envoys left the city, someone informed Lu Huai.
Emperor Qi embraced you. The original owner was so pitiful, only she didn't have such a loyal palace attendant to accompany her.
Judging from my appearance, something serious must have happened.
Before I could finish speaking, a flash of sword light appeared, followed by a clang, and I watched helplessly as my head fell to the ground.
Qi Huang looked at my gloomy face, but instead of going over, he grabbed Lian'er and ran away.
"My lord, my lord, you can walk..."
How can distant water quench a nearby fire?
Lu Huai may have thought of that, but I care. As long as there is no chance, I would gladly give up my own son.
Seeing that scene, Ye Ling instinctively turned to look at Wang Zheng, "Master, shall we go after them?"
Ning Chen dismounted with an expression on his face. "Tell Your Majesty that my matter needs to be handled more urgently."
I watched in horror as my body collapsed beside me, and I died in peace.
But he didn't know that the imperial city was already under Lu Huai's control.
After saying this, he waited for the eunuch in charge to react before tightening the reins and riding away from the Prime Minister's residence with a group of guards.
Besides, why would a neighboring country be willing to arrange a marriage between a princess with no power or background and another? You're just going to be someone else's plaything.
