Chapter 466 Kill me for a woman?
A few days later.
Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop her, Jiang Wanning rushed into the Imperial Study.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't go in." Granny Rong Pei chased after her all the way, but Jiang Wan Ning was too weak and pregnant to be stopped by a single nanny.
Rong Pei had no choice but to follow behind, pleading with Jiang Wan Ning.
But this master, who used to always care for them, the servants and maids, wouldn't listen to anything today.
As they walked along, the palace maids and eunuchs who passed by knelt down.
The guards at the entrance of the Imperial Study did not dare to stop them.
Jiang Wan Ning kicked open the door to the Imperial Study, and all the court officials who were discussing matters in the main hall turned to look at her.
Seeing that it was Jiang Wan Ning, no one dared to speak. Only the king of the Sand Kingdom, unaware of the reason, was very dissatisfied with Jiang Wan Ning's actions.
Just as I was about to speak, someone standing next to me kindly reminded me.
That's why he didn't speak.
Yan Changfeng's originally gloomy face changed upon seeing Jiang Wan Ning. He immediately stood up, walked around the imperial desk, and hurried towards Jiang Wan Ning, his voice very gentle, "Ning Ning, what brings you here?"
"Didn't the old nanny at Chang Le Palace say you weren't feeling well? And you're pregnant, so why did you come?"
"If there's anything, just let them come to me. Don't come here yourself in the future."
Jiang Wan Ning stared into Yan Chang Feng's eyes for a long time before saying, "Are you afraid I'll stop you from doing something?"
As soon as Jiang Wan Ning finished speaking, the atmosphere became as cold as the dead of winter, and the already oppressive atmosphere became even more chilling.
Yan Changfeng glanced at the old woman behind Jiang Wanning, and Rong Pei immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet Yan Changfeng's gaze.
"Ningning, this is a matter of the previous dynasty. You just need to focus on your pregnancy and don't need to worry about anything else," Yan Changfeng said calmly. "I will handle other matters."
Jiang Wan Ning said coldly, "I don't care what you do, but you want to attack Dongling. I want to know why?"
"You clearly said before that you were unwilling to fight if Dongling and Xixia did not go to war, so why are you going back on your word now?"
"Do you know how many people will be affected if a war breaks out?"
"Does having one more city or one less city really matter that much?" Jiang Wan Ning questioned. "Or is it that what you really want isn't the number of cities at all?"
"Is it because I went to that restaurant that day?"
Don't you think your current actions prove that you have something to hide?
"Your Majesty, you women only need to focus on giving birth and taking care of us men. Why do you have to worry about so many things?" the king of the Sand Kingdom said impatiently. "These are not things that a pregnant woman like you should concern yourself with."
"What you need to do now is to take good care of your pregnancy and not worry the king. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"Your Majesty, please return."
The minister standing beside him reached out and tugged at the king's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.
However, the king of the Sand Kingdom had a violent temper and was used to being a chauvinist. All the women in his harem treated him with utmost respect.
No woman has ever dared to act like Jiang Wan Ning in front of him.
Therefore, the moment Jiang Wan Ning entered, the king of the Sand Kingdom disliked the woman in front of him, and now he was becoming increasingly unbearable, completely ignoring the glances from those around him.
Before Jiang Wan Ning could speak, Yan Chang Feng's voice turned cold, "I let you be the ruler of a small country for a few days, and you've already forgotten who you are?"
"You even dare to say that about the Queen?"
The king of the Sha Kingdom was about to speak when a man on good terms with him quietly stopped him and stepped forward to speak on his behalf, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive him. Helian Qi did not mean that."
"Your Majesty, as you know, most men in the Sand Kingdom are chauvinistic, and women have never dared to disobey men. Helian Qi didn't react for a moment."
As the man spoke, he gave a wink to Helian Qi, the king of the Sand Kingdom.
Helian Qi said reluctantly, "Your Majesty, it was my fault for speaking out of turn."
Yan Changfeng shielded Jiang Wanning behind him and said coldly to Helian Qi, "I only let you continue to be the ruler of this Sand Kingdom for show."
"If you don't even understand this much, I don't mind replacing you with someone else as the ruler of this sand kingdom."
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" said the man who had just pleaded for Helian Qi. "Now is the time for war. If we were to change the person in charge, it would do us no good."
"I know you two have a good relationship, so you don't need to use these things to scare me."
"Now, Dongling and Xixia probably already know that you have long belonged to me. Do you think I was able to sit in this position today because of luck?" Yan Changfeng's voice was low and cold.
All the ministers were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, and the man tugged at Helian Qi.
Helian Qi had no choice but to kneel on the ground.
"Your Majesty, we know we were wrong, please forgive us."
“You,” Yan Changfeng pointed at Helian Qi, “should kneel down and apologize to the Queen, not me.”
Helian Qi had never knelt before any woman in his life, not even his own mother. To him, kneeling before a woman was like crawling between someone's legs in the street—a tremendous disgrace.
"Your Majesty!" Helian Qi said angrily, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Do you really intend to humiliate your subordinate like this?"
"Although I was subdued by you, it was because I felt that you were someone who could lead us to higher and farther goals, not because I was afraid of you."
"If you insist on making me kneel before a woman today, you might as well kill me on the spot," Helian Qi said, glancing at Jiang Wan Ning.
His eyes were full of disdain and hatred.
Yan Changfeng drew a sword from the wall behind him, its blade pointing directly at Helian Qi. "Very well, then I will grant your wish."
"Your Majesty, please forgive us!" the crowd cried, kowtowing.
Helian Qi's eyes widened instantly, his expression filled with disbelief. "Does the King really intend to kill me for a woman?"
The Yan Changfeng he knew wasn't like this.
Jiang Wan Ning reached out and pressed down Yan Chang Feng's hand holding the sword. "Enough!"
Yan Changfeng obediently did not pick up the sword in his hand again.
He only said to Helian Qi, "If there is a next time, I will definitely not forgive you."
Helian Qi did not harbor resentment towards Yan Changfeng's actions. Instead, he took another look at Jiang Wan Ning. The person in front of him was indeed a beauty, but Yan Changfeng never coveted beauty.
I always thought that the harem was just a formality, but it seems that the woman in front of me holds a significant place in the king's heart.
"Don't think that just because you stopped the king, I will remember your kindness," Helian Qi said disdainfully. "You have brought disaster to the country and its people, and it's all because of you."
Yan Changfeng's eyes were like knives as he looked at Helian Qi. "Did you not listen to a single word I said?"
"Helian Qi, my patience has its limits."
Jiang Wan Ning spoke up to stop them, "That's enough, make them all leave, I have something to tell you."
