Holy crap, Ning Hong stood up abruptly.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that before?"
Ning Hong's worst fears came true.
"I did promise you before, but it was in exchange for the title of Duke."
“You can take back the Duke’s position and return Changxi to me,” Ning Hong said with a firm look in her eyes.
"Duke of Wei, do not force me."
Good grief, who's forcing whom here?
That person is infuriating.
Or, why not just wipe him out and establish a new dynasty?
The moment this thought crossed Ning Hongze's mind, a sharp pain shot through her chest.
His face turned deathly pale instantly.
"elder brother."
Ning Zixi was the first to notice that something was wrong with her brother and quickly went to support him.
"Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I—have a chest pain."
What happened?
Why does my chest suddenly hurt so much?
Something's not right.
0321?
"The host has thought of things he shouldn't be thinking."
"Shouldn't I be thinking about it?"
"Although the emperor is not very good to your family, he is essentially a wise ruler. The country is peaceful and the people can live and work in peace. Therefore, the emperor cannot be replaced."
Every time a dynasty changes, it is the common people who suffer.
If the emperor were to die at this moment, the entire Tang Dynasty would be thrown into turmoil.
The system explained.
Ning Hong's face was pale, and she forced a smile.
The original owner of this body has really shot himself in the foot. He raised the young emperor too well, and as a result, while the emperor met all the standards of a wise ruler, he was a complete scumbag when it came to relationships.
"Father, where does it hurt?"
Ning Changxi also noticed that something was wrong with her father.
She glared angrily at Song Zhuo, her eyes filled with rage.
Song Zhuo stumbled back two steps because of her gaze; this was the first time Ning Changxi had ever looked at him like that.
Her gaze towards him had always been gentle, even when he crippled her; her eyes held disbelief but no hatred. But now—
Song Zhuo took a deep breath, turned around and left.
He couldn't stand Changxi looking at him like that.
"Remember to go to the palace tomorrow." Give her one more day—
Song Zhuo turned and left.
Of course, he was still worried about Ning Hongze.
Half a cup of tea later, the imperial physician arrived at the Duke of Wei's residence to diagnose Ning Hongze.
"The Duke is fine."
The imperial physician looked puzzled. The pulse was normal, steady, and strong, with no other problems.
The Duke is in good health.
"Imperial Physician, my father's complexion was really bad just now."
Ning Changxi frowned.
They were in so much pain their faces turned blue, how could there be no problem? There's clearly something wrong here!
"Your Majesty, this—" indeed, there is no problem at all.
What is the Empress doing here?
A hint of surprise flashed in the imperial physician's eyes.
Ning Changxi couldn't care less about that now.
Anyway, we're going back to the palace soon, so what if people see us? There's no need to hide it anymore.
"Changxi, it's all your fault for being useless." After the imperial physician left, Ning Hong sighed, "Why don't you fake your death and escape to Shu?"
"Father, I don't want this to happen."
Ning Changxi shook his head. "I don't want to leave you. Besides, when he saw me today, I was perfectly fine. It's obviously illogical that I suddenly died."
"Don't worry, Dad will definitely not let anyone find out."
"Father, I don't want to live away from you in anonymity."
The reason they wanted to fake their death was so that their family could leave the capital.
But now, her father can't leave.
So what's the point of her feigning death?
Besides, if she didn't leave, she couldn't walk out of the house openly; she could only hide timidly, and even worry about implicating her father.
Previously, although she was afraid of being seen by others, because it was something the Emperor was well aware of, even if someone used this to impeach her father, the Emperor would handle it accordingly.
However, if her father deceived the emperor, that would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
"I'm going back."
Ning Changxi slammed his hand on the table and said.
“My father once said that if you want to live well in the harem, you shouldn’t have too many expectations of the emperor. Today I finally understand that.”
Once she stopped loving him and disliking him, she would no longer feel pain and suffering. "From now on, I will be a qualified empress."
Ning Changxi raised his chin, and the contours of his face subtly revealed a touch of domineering power.
Ning Hongze: "—"
Why does his daughter suddenly seem different? She's suddenly turned into Niohuru Changxi—
The news that the Emperor and Empress had gone to the Duke of Wei's mansion to celebrate the festival spread throughout the entire palace overnight.
The Empress Dowager angrily smashed the porcelain on the table, her chest aching with rage.
"Auntie, what are you getting up for?"
A beautiful young woman, around sixteen years old, stood beside the Empress Dowager, gently patting her back, saying, "Don't be angry."
"Tell me, what's wrong with the emperor's eyes? He doesn't like a well-behaved girl like you, but he insists on liking those inexplicable people."
Of course, there was also a mysterious widow.
The Empress Dowager grew even angrier at the mention of Su Yuan.
At the last palace banquet, the Empress was still in the Cold Palace. She had originally thought that the Emperor might entrust this matter to her. However, he bypassed her and the concubines, and directly assigned it to that young widow, Su Yuan.
