Chapter 291 Leave the door open for me at night
Xiao Nanying was the most embarrassed, especially when she thought about what she had just said behind someone's back. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Nanying bowed to the ground and said, "Seventh Sister-in-law... Eighth Brother, nice to meet you. It's been a long time since we last met. You look even more charming than before."
Chen Ning smiled and bowed in return: "Greetings to the princes. I don't dare to call the Eighth Prince 'Seventh Sister-in-law'. After all, His Royal Highness Prince Ding and I are not married yet... After he really gets married, it won't be too late to call him the Eighth Prince."
It seems that people heard what he said.
Xiao Nanying touched his nose in frustration, not daring to play dumb any longer. He apologized solemnly, "Old Eighth has always been rude and thoughtless. I apologize to Seventh Sister-in-law. Please forgive me."
After saying this, he didn't dare to look at the expressions of the two men anymore, and dragged the Fifth Prince away from the scene: "Fifth brother, didn't you say you had something to tell me? Let's go, let's go talk somewhere else."
Although the Fifth Prince cooperated and was taken away, he still did not let the Eighth Prince go. He frowned and sneered: "I told you not to be so rude."
The Eighth Prince's face was filled with misery...
The brother who had caused him trouble by talking too much was dragged away. Xiao Nanchen took a step forward and looked down at Shen Ning: "Are you angry?"
Shen Ning curled her lips: "Why should I be angry with that irrelevant person."
"Old Eight has always been a bad mouth. Just ignore him. I'll teach him a lesson later..."
Xiao Nanchen pushed the man to the corner and said, "How about I apologize to the prince on behalf of that useless brother?"
Before she knew it, Shen Ning was forced to the corner of the wall. Seeing the man's breath getting closer and closer, she suddenly laughed in anger: "How is His Royal Highness Prince Ding going to apologize..."
Before he could finish his words, they were all blocked.
Xiao Nanchen's clothes felt slightly cool on his chest. Shen Ning's hand subconsciously rested on his chest, and she could feel the texture of the luxurious fabric on her palm... He tilted his head and kissed her again and again. It was clear that he was already very patient but still unsatisfied. His breathing became heavier...
After a long while, Xiao Nanchen finally stopped reluctantly.
After calming his breath a few times, His Royal Highness Prince Ding shamelessly asked, "Has the King of Beihai calmed down?"
Shen Ning kicked him: "Are you shameless?"
Then he said seriously, "It seems the prince is still angry... I failed to serve you well. I need to perform better..."
Seeing that he was about to lean over again, Shen Ning admitted defeat: "Okay, okay, okay, it's getting late and the palace gates are about to be locked. I still have to go back."
Xiao Nanchen was still not satisfied, but he forced himself to hold it back. He just hugged her tightly in his arms, lowered his head, took a few deep breaths and smelled the warm fragrance on her body.
He said: "Ningning, I miss you so much..."
I think about her day and night, there is not a single moment when I don't think about her.
After saying this, His Royal Highness Prince Ding suddenly remembered something and frowned, "Second Brother, tell me, you disguised yourself as the Princess of the Japanese Pirates and saved him at the wedding?"
Shen Ning hummed: "What?"
Then, Prince Ding looked sour and said quietly, "We haven't even put on wedding clothes yet... and you're already pretending to be married with someone else..."
Shen Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can that be considered pretending to be a couple? Those pirates were so unrefined that they didn't even have a wedding. They just wore red clothes and called it a day."
"Oh, Ningning is still complaining that she's not dressed up for the wedding..."
That resentful and sinister look made Shen Ning laugh. She knew what was going on in her mind: "Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful. Tell me, what do you want?"
As soon as the words fell, Prince Ding, whose thoughts were exposed, looked away and said in a light tone, "Leave the door open for me tonight... I'll come to find you..."
Shen Ning kicked him directly: "You wish!"
Then, the kicked Prince Ding opened his eyes slightly, revealing a hurt expression. "I just haven't seen Ningning in a while, and I wanted to talk to you. Ningning, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Nanchen looked bright and dignified yet misunderstood: "Ningning, you've become a bad person! You're here in broad daylight, thinking about me like that..."
Shen Ning was really angry and laughed this time. She pinched his chest with her hand and said, "Are you shameless?"
His Royal Highness Prince Ding hissed, and finally could no longer hide the darkness in his eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her again: "No more."
While kissing her again and again, the shameless man continued to ask in a hoarse voice: "What kind of messed up things were Ningning thinking about just now, huh?"
Shen Ning: ...
Xiao Nanchen pushed the person against the wall and kissed her over and over again for a long time. Seeing that it was indeed getting late, he let her go and sent Chen Ning out of the palace.
Just as Shen Ning was riding in the carriage of Prince Ding's palace to the Shen family mansion, Lord Xu entered the imperial prison alone in a cloak.
In the deepest cell of the imperial prison, Xu Zhiyi sat in the corner in his prison uniform, bored as he teased the mouse he had caught with a straw.
"Brother, if you want to eat, just eat it. Why are you rolling around in the bowl... How can I eat it?"
"Look at how fat you are. You must have done a lot of immoral things like this, right?"
"Forget it, forget it. I'm kind-hearted and won't bother with you. I'll let you go this time. Go back to your wife and children..."
After letting go of the fat rat, Xu Zhiyi looked up when he heard approaching footsteps.
When he saw Lord Xu taking off his cloak and hood, his expression froze for a moment, then he curled his lips and said, "Dad."
"I'm not your father!"
Elder Xu's voice was hoarse: "Didn't you tell me, Elder Xu, in front of His Majesty that you no longer wanted to recognize me as your father?"
Xu Zhiyi sighed and said nothing more.
Lord Xu is a powerful official, but he has no idea how to deal with his youngest son, who has been unruly, rebellious and cunning since childhood.
This youngest son has been causing trouble since he was a child...but Lord Xu never thought that he would be involved in treason and rebellion.
What does he want?
Why don't you enjoy your wealth and glory? Are you so bored that you want to commit suicide?
But Lord Xu knew that although his son appeared to be carefree, he was actually more thoughtful than the eldest and second oldest brothers. He would not do such a stupid thing for no reason that would not only be counterproductive but also cost him his life.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Elder Xu spoke hoarsely, "You dropped this thunder without warning, catching everyone off guard and utterly terrified... Now, you should at least give me an explanation, right?"
In the cell, Xu Zhiyi was silent for a while, then he spoke slowly: "Dad, I'm sorry."
There was no longer any trace of frivolity or arrogance on Xu Zhiyi's face. His expression was unusually silent and serious.
Xu Ge Lao stepped forward and grabbed the cell bars: "Who is behind you? What do you want to do?"
His son knew that Xu Zhiyi would never be the type to be controlled by others and work for others. There was only one explanation for why he did all these things and came to this point, and that was that he wanted to do it himself.
Elder Xu's voice was hoarse and old: "Tell me the truth, what exactly do you want to do?"
Xu Zhiyi was silent for a long while before finally speaking: "It's nothing, actually. The world is about to fall into chaos, so why not just clean up the mess as soon as possible... Those who can't do it should stop doing it and leave it to those who can."
He lowered his eyes, his tone dark, "It's better to catch them off guard and force them into hasty action than to wait until those with ulterior motives have fully prepared their forces and horses and then start a rebellion..."
Xu Ge Lao's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth: "Whose are you?"
Xu Zhiyi looked up at his father and curled his lips: "I am myself."
Lord Xu closed his eyes and took a long breath.
He realized that all this was probably just the beginning...
