Ning Jue stood there for a while, and then saw Si Jin, leaning on his cane, walking step by step from inside the mansion.
He has difficulty walking and doesn't want to trouble others.
He has always carried a cane when he goes to court over the years.
As she helped Si Jin into the carriage, she overheard him casually instruct, "Ning Jue, you can leave the task of protecting him to Xiao Yuan from now on, so you can relax a bit."
Ning Jue: ? ? ?
What? ? !
Beitang Linyuan had only been there for a day, yet he was already trying to take over the job of being his personal bodyguard.
Wouldn't they seize all his management authority tomorrow?
Then he couldn't get his salary and couldn't support his family...
Ning Jue felt something was wrong and was about to retort when Si Jin said, "Your salary will continue as usual. You don't need to feel insecure. I just want you to have a better life because I appreciate your hard work over the years."
Ning Jue: "But Your Highness..." Are you sure this isn't you about to start my prelude?
Before he could finish another question, Si Jin interrupted him: "Don't you have a girl you like? Now you have time to pursue her."
Only when this was mentioned did Ning Jue finally calm down.
He did indeed like the young lady from the Hua family, but in recent years he had been busy on the battlefield with the prince, his life hanging in the balance, and he was afraid of delaying the chance to win her heart, so he never mentioned it.
In recent years, the prince has been ill, and I've been so busy taking care of him that I've had even less free time.
Now is a good time.
Can……
Why does the prince trust Beitang Linyuan so much?
Ning Jue couldn't understand it.
After escorting Si Jin to the court, he secretly pulled Bei Tang Lin Yuan aside to talk in an alley: "Xiao Yuan, why does the Prince value you so much? Could it be..."
He approached Beitang Linyuan and asked softly, "Have you found a companion for the Prince?"
Beitang Linyuan paused for a moment, then said, "I guess so..."
Ning Jue, ever the gossip, asked, "Which family's young master is he? What's he like? How tall is he? Is he good-natured?"
Beitang Linyuan initially gave a few perfunctory replies, but as he struggled to continue his fabrication, he could only nod and say, "It's me!"
Ning Jue: !!!
He stood there stunned for a long while before finally realizing: "No wonder your personal bodyguard is you."
As she spoke, she deliberately wiped away her tears with her sleeve, saying, "In the end, I'm not worthy anymore."
… …
Great meeting.
Because of Si Jin's severe crackdown on the Prime Minister's residence yesterday, Nangong Mi requested leave.
On the contrary, it was the Second Prince Ning Sizhen who knelt down and pleaded for Nangong Liuer, saying that Liuer had already received a letter of divorce and severed all ties with the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so she could be spared death.
The old emperor reluctantly agreed, but at the same time, the fact that the Fourth Prince Ning Sijin had divorced his wife was also confirmed.
It was widely discussed in the court and among the common people.
With Si Jin's added fuel to the fire of the rumors, Ning Sizhen quickly became the epitome of picking up Si Jin's discarded "old shoe" in everyone's eyes, and was ridiculed by the world.
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Ning Sizhen's face was contorted with rage as he swept away many of the furnishings on the table.
"That bitch Ning Sijin! He was the laughingstock of the capital! He was the one who didn't deserve such a good Liu'er, so how did it become my fault?"
"I wish I could cut out the tongues of those who talk nonsense!"
He was so angry that he beat and scolded half of the servants in the mansion, which finally alerted Nangong Liuer, who had just recovered from her injuries at the Prime Minister's residence.
Nangong Liuer got up and wrote a letter to Ning Sizhen.
He was invited to the Prime Minister's residence to discuss in detail the specifics of bringing down Ning Sijin.
Ning Sizhen stayed at the Prime Minister's residence until evening.
After discussing the plan, they thoroughly "bullied" Nangong Liuer.
He only returned home satisfied after the delicate beauty begged him for mercy with tears streaming down her face.
Waiting for good news from Nangong Liuer.
Sure enough, three days later, Nangong Liuer went straight to the palace.
Before the court officials went to court, they beat a drum outside the Hall of State Affairs to appeal their grievances.
"Your Majesty! I have been wronged!"
"I am innocent! I did not have an affair with the Second Prince!"
"I am pregnant now, with the Fourth Prince!"
"This humble woman wishes to sue the Fourth Prince, Ning Sijin, for abandoning his wife and children and being heartless and ungrateful!"
"Your Majesty, I beg you to do me justice!"
