Chapter 26: Child or Divorce?
Jiang Ning looked at Emperor Ming with anticipation.
Once she left the Ling Prince's residence, she was free.
With her medical skills and wisdom that surpasses a thousand years, it wouldn't be difficult for her to thrive in this backward ancient world.
If that's the case, why waste your time at the Ling Prince's mansion?
Yuwen Jue's handsome face darkened, and he looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief.
This wicked woman actually initiated a divorce?!
Didn't she love him so much that she schemed against him and wanted to marry him?
How come things have changed so much in just a few years?
Yuwen Jue's face was gloomy and ashen, and he clenched his cold hands tightly.
He bowed angrily and said, "Father, I have returned this time to divorce this woman! I beg you, Father, to grant my request!"
On one side, Jiang Yuanshan's face was dark, and his eyes were full of anger.
That unfilial daughter Jiang Ning dared to ignore his words...
Jiang Baoqing, who was kneeling outside the door, was both surprised and delighted.
She couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, and scolded him in a sweet voice.
"Sister, how dare you propose a divorce from the royal family? Where do you put the royal family's dignity?"
Yuwen Jue has made great military achievements and is said to be soon to be named the War King, with a promising future ahead.
She was hoping for Yuwen Jue to return to the capital, which is why she took the opportunity to plot against Jiang Ning and Guo Zilin.
Despite the many twists and turns along the way, unexpectedly, Yuwen Jue and Jiang Ning still wanted to get a divorce!
Wouldn't she have a chance after the two of them divorce?
Jiang Baoqing felt a surge of joy in her heart, and glanced shyly at Yuwen Jue to the side.
Jiang Ning sneered: "The prince and I loathe each other. With me in the mansion, the prince doesn't even want to go home. Why suffer so much?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Emperor Ming.
"We beg Your Majesty to issue a decree granting us a divorce!"
Yuwen Jue's cold face was stern, his dark eyes sharp, and anger surged within him.
It was clearly that wicked woman who tricked him into marrying her and deliberately damaged his reputation!
Otherwise, why would he rather fight on the border and eat dirt than go home?
Emperor Ming's majestic tiger eyes coldly looked at Jiang Ning and Xiao Bao'er beside her.
"Jiang Ning, you can only choose one: divorce or save this child's life!"
Jiang Ning looked at Emperor Ming in disbelief.
She frowned and spoke in a deep voice.
“Your Majesty, Xiao Bao’er was pregnant before she married Prince Ling, and her marriage to Prince Ling was also a setup.”
"The child is innocent, please spare him, Your Majesty."
Emperor Ming's cold fingers rolled over the beads, producing a crisp, resonant sound.
Emperor Ming's eyes flashed dangerously as he coldly asked, "So, you intend to save your child?"
Jiang Ning said, "Your Majesty, I want to protect my child, and I also want a divorce!"
"Jiang Ning, if you continue to be greedy, don't blame me for being impolite to you."
Emperor Ming's face was filled with anger, and he coldly rebuked, "If it weren't for the fact that you saved the Emperor Emeritus, how could I have tolerated your insolence!"
Jiang Ning pouted and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will postpone the divorce for now."
Ah, in ancient times, imperial power was supreme, and she couldn't defy this incomparably noble emperor for the time being.
but……
Jiang Ning smiled and raised an eyebrow at Yuwen Jue.
She has done her best.
Xiao Bao'er is very important to her, and she will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt Xiao Bao'er!
Anyway, Yuwen Jue also wanted a divorce, so they should each do their own thing from now on!
Yuwen Jue glared at her with a grim expression.
That damned wicked woman... is she implying that he is defying the Emperor?
The retired emperor watched the two exchanging glances without batting an eye, a smile flashing in his eyes.
Yuwen Jue stared at her with a grim expression, his dark, deep eyes unfathomable.
The Queen tried to smooth things over.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ling has just returned victorious with outstanding military achievements. It is the time to reward him. How can we just divorce him so easily?"
"Besides, couples often quarrel in bed and make up in bed; they just need to work things out a bit more."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ning meaningfully.
"Princess Ling, am I right?"
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow and smiled coolly.
"What Her Majesty the Empress says is certainly not wrong."
After saying that, she walked straight to Yuwen Jue and took his arm.
Her bright and beautiful face was beaming with an extremely radiant smile.
"Your Highness, from now on, my husband and I will live a loving and harmonious life together, so that the Emperor and Empress will not have to worry about us!"
Yuwen Jue's body stiffened, barely suppressing the urge to punch Jiang Ning away.
He nodded his hard chin: "Hmm."
His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his cold face was filled with a chilling aura.
But he couldn't shake off the annoying Jiang Ning in public.
Otherwise, the Empress would surely be displeased and say that he had offended her.
Seeing Yuwen Jue stiff and angry, unable to move, a mischievous smile flashed in Jiang Ning's phoenix eyes.
If they want a divorce, they'll have to force Yuwen Jue to work harder!
Didn't he hate her pestering him the most? Well, from then on, she pestered him every day, driving him crazy with annoyance!
Moreover… Jiang Ning smiled and winked at the shocked and angry Jiang Baoqing outside the door.
Although we didn't make Jiang Baoqing pay the price she deserved today, it wasn't a complete loss either.
The wicked Jiang family has lost its life-saving talisman, the Iron Certificate. Her "affectionate" relationship with Yuwen Jue is enough to infuriate the Jiang family.
The retired emperor lay in bed for a long time, and his body gradually recovered, eventually allowing him to get up and get out of bed.
"Grandfather, please be careful."
Yuwen Jue was worried, so he personally helped him walk a few steps.
Feeling his body gradually returning to his control, the retired emperor laughed.
He glanced meaningfully at Emperor Ming and Empress Guo, then spoke in a low voice.
"I am alright now. I am blessed by the lucky star, and no evil spirit can harm me."
Emperor Ming looked puzzled and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ning.
"Your Majesty, the lucky star you mentioned, could it be Jiang Ning?"
The Emperor Emeritus laughed heartily, "That's right, if it weren't for Princess Ling, how could I be alive?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ning with affection.
"Princess Ling, the Emperor considers your actions as redemption, and he has saved your son."
But you did save me, and I still owe you a favor. Tell me, what do you want?
Jiang Ning was overjoyed to find that the Emperor Emeritus was such a kind person, and couldn't stop smiling.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I wish to divorce!"
The Emperor has saved Xiao Bao'er, and the Retired Emperor has agreed to a divorce. Isn't that wonderful?
I'm so happy I could laugh in my sleep!
Yuwen Jue's face was grim, and a chill surged within his deep, narrow eyes.
"Jiang Ning, are you deaf? Didn't Father just say he wouldn't agree to a divorce?"
Jiang Ning, that woman... just now she was clinging to his arm saying she wanted to live a good life together, and now she wants a divorce?
This wicked woman wanted a divorce so badly, but suddenly he didn't want one anymore!
He wanted to imprison her in the Ling Prince's mansion, keep her by his side, and torment her every day!
Jiang Ning glared at him fiercely.
Didn't Yuwen Jue want a divorce? Why is he contradicting her?
Yuwen Jue glared back at her, not to be outdone.
Both were very hot-tempered and neither was willing to back down.
Seeing Yuwen Jue and Jiang Ning arguing, the Emperor Emeritus smiled even more kindly.
These two young people clearly seem like a pair of bickering lovers.
“Princess Consort Ling, Prince Ling is right. The Emperor will not allow you to divorce, and I will naturally not allow it either. You should think of something else.”
Jiang Ning was somewhat disappointed.
However, her large, bright eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with an idea.
She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you also grant me a life-saving charm? So that I won't suffer if I quarrel with the Prince in the future."
