In Chapter 27, she even made a request?
Yuwen Jue's face darkened, and he reprimanded him coldly.
"Jiang Ning, don't go too far. How can you just give away a life-saving charm like that?"
Back then, Marquis Fuyuan had made great military achievements and even sacrificed his life to obtain a certificate of merit for the Jiang family.
Unfortunately, it was used up today.
What virtue or ability does Jiang Ning possess that makes him worthy of such a precious item as a life-saving talisman?
Jiang Ning glanced at him indifferently: "What, Your Highness, you refuse to let the Emperor Emeritus give me a life-saving charm, are you already planning to bully me?"
"Jiang Ning, you!"
Yuwen Jue frowned, and his large, well-defined hands gradually tightened.
When did this woman become so eloquent? She's even learned to frame people with blatant lies!
The retired emperor burst into laughter.
"You're quite an interesting girl!"
Since you are worried about being bullied, I will bestow upon you the Buddhist prayer beads I have carried with me for many years. As long as it is not a serious offense like treason, you will be pardoned.”
As he spoke, he took off the string of Buddhist prayer beads from his hand and had Fu Gong hand them over to Jiang Ning.
Eunuch Fu stepped forward with a smile and said respectfully, "Princess Ling, this item is precious. Over the years, the Emperor Emeritus has never been willing to let anyone else touch it. You must cherish it."
Seeing how precious this item was, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up, and she respectfully accepted it and put it on her hand.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take good care of these prayer beads. From now on, seeing these prayer beads will be like seeing Your Majesty!"
She flashed the Buddhist prayer beads on her fair wrist and looked at Yuwen Jue with an air of confidence.
"Yuwen Jue, did you hear that? From now on, the Emperor Emeritus will protect me, so don't get any funny ideas!"
No one is allowed to bully her or Xiaobao!
Yuwen Jue frowned and gave a cold laugh.
"I am not such a despicable person."
Inside the Shou Kang Palace, everyone watched this scene with varying expressions.
This Jiang Ning is truly incredibly lucky. Not only did he stumble upon a stroke of good fortune and save the Emperor Emeritus, he also managed to acquire a string of life-saving Buddhist beads!
Who else but the Jiang family could receive such treatment?
In an instant, everyone was filled with envy and jealousy.
The Jiang father and daughter were so angry they wanted to snatch the Buddhist beads away.
The Emperor Emeritus said, “I feel much better now. Now that everything has been sorted out, let’s all disperse.”
Emperor Ming stood up and said, "Then you should rest well. I will return now."
The Empress and Consort Guo quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we take our leave."
Just as Yuwen Jue was about to leave, the Emperor Emeritus called him back.
"Prince Ling".
Yuwen Jue stopped and respectfully asked, "Does Grandfather have any further instructions?"
The Emperor Emeritus looked at him meaningfully and said, "While you were away at the border for several years, Princess Ling lived in the Marquis Jiang's residence. It's time to bring her back."
Yuwen Jue raised his eyes in disbelief, looking at the Emperor Emeritus in shock.
"But Grandfather..."
He wants to divorce Jiang Ning!
Moreover, Jiang Xiaobao is not his child!
If the mother and son were to return to the Ling Prince's residence, wouldn't he become a laughingstock in the capital?
The Empress smiled gently and said, "Prince Ling, the Emperor Emeritus has just recovered from a serious illness. You must not disobey him or upset him."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ning with schadenfreude.
"You three haven't seen each other for so many years, it's time for you to get together and nurture your relationship."
Jiang Ning brought the illegitimate child back to the manor, and from then on, the Ling Prince's manor is likely to be in chaos...
The retired emperor nodded mysteriously: "The empress is right."
On Yuwen Jue's cold and stern face, his brows were furrowed and his large, icy hands were clenched into fists.
"Your grandson obeys."
But deep down, I was unwilling to accept it.
The empress is one thing.
But the Emperor Emeritus has always doted on him, and he knows that Jiang Xiaobao is not his son, so why does he still insist that he bring Jiang Ning back to the mansion?
Jiang Ning, holding Xiao Bao'er's hand, raised an eyebrow indifferently.
To her, it made no difference whether it was the Jiang family or the Ling Prince's Mansion.
They're all dens of wolves and tigers.
So it doesn't matter where you are.
Xiao Bao'er raised her big, clear eyes and looked at Jiang Ning with some worry.
"Mother, are we going somewhere else?"
Looking at his soft and cute little face, Jiang Ning felt her heart soften a little.
She stroked the little baby's fluffy head.
"Little Bao'er, it's the same no matter where you go, Mother will protect you."
Xiao Bao'er gripped Jiang Ning's fingers tightly and nodded firmly.
If it were in the past, he might not have believed his mother's words.
But after all that commotion over the course of the day, he had absolute faith in his mother!
Mother even gave up the Emperor's promise for Xiao Bao'er, which is enough to prove that Mother loves Xiao Bao'er!
After everyone left, Eunuch Fu helped the Emperor Emeritus to the inner palace to rest.
He said guiltily, "It's all because I'm incompetent. I couldn't see the masked man's face clearly and I couldn't protect you."
The retired emperor said meaningfully, "If you had seen it clearly, you would probably be on your way to the underworld by now."
With a complex expression, Eunuch Fu asked, "Does the Emperor Emeritus have any thoughts?"
The retired emperor gave a cold laugh, a chill flashing in his shrewd eyes.
"Besides him, who else would want me to die soon?"
Eunuch Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he said nervously, "But His Majesty is already above all others, and you are not involved in politics... This servant feels that His Majesty does not need to do this."
"Hmph, although I am not involved in politics, he is insatiable and wants to control all power! As long as I am alive, he will be uneasy."
The retired emperor's face grew even colder, and he said angrily, "If I hadn't thought he had a few good sons, would I have passed the throne to him?"
Grandpa Fu sighed with regret.
"This servant has another question. You love Prince Ling so much, and you know he doesn't like Princess Ling, so why do you still insist on bringing them together?"
The retired emperor narrowed his hawk-like eyes, and the image of Jiang Ning and her son appeared before his eyes.
"Because I discovered that Princess Ling is not as bad as the rumors say."
And that child, I saw a familiar shadow in him…
Fu Gonggong's eyes flashed with confusion, but he didn't ask any further questions.
The retired emperor has his own considerations; as his servant, his only responsibility is to take good care of him.
On the way out of the palace.
"Since my grandfather has given the order, I will certainly not disobey."
Yuwen Jue walked beside the mother and son, his expression cold, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
"But Jiang Ning, don't even think about living with me! After we go back, I will have a courtyard prepared for the two of you to live in."
Jiang Ning curled her lips and said with a cool smile, "Thank you, but I personally prefer quiet, so the courtyard should be as quiet and secluded as possible."
"Also, make sure their food, clothing, and lodging are convenient, and assign several sensible servants to take care of them..."
In her past life, she was extremely busy and overwhelmed, but it didn't end well for her.
Now that she's finally arrived in ancient times, she's going to enjoy the luxurious life of a feudal noble!
Yuwen Jue was so angry that he laughed instead.
"So you're actually making demands now?"
Jiang Ning retorted sarcastically, "I was brought into your family as your princess by eight men in a sedan chair, so all these demands are reasonable."
Jiang Ning's eyes darted around, and she suddenly smiled slyly.
"Speaking of returning home, I've changed my mind again."
"I lived in a remote and secluded place in the Marquis's mansion; now that I'm returning to the Prince's mansion, I want to live in the most luxurious and spacious main courtyard!"
Yuwen Jue clearly disliked her and Xiao Bao'er.
The more she clung to Yuwen Jue, the more he disliked her, and the more he cared about their divorce!
