Chapter 337 Prince Ding Arrives in Beijing
When Shen Ning opened her eyes again, she found herself in a swaying carriage, lying in Xiao Nanchen's arms. She guessed something almost immediately.
Looking up, I saw Xiao Nanchen's cold and hard jaw.
"Anan..." she whispered.
Xiao Nanchen pursed his lips without saying anything and hugged her tighter.
"sorry."
Shen Ning said: "I'm sorry for keeping it from you."
Xiao Nanchen's eyes instantly turned red. Without saying a word, he just hugged Shen Ning tighter, as if she would not leave as long as he hugged her tight enough.
Shen Ning patted him: "I want to drink water."
Xiao Nanchen didn't let her move, and poured a cup of warm water to her mouth with one hand.
Shen Ning laughed helplessly: "It's not like I can't take care of myself, Anan, please let me go a little, I can't breathe."
Xiao Nanchen then relaxed a little and helped her up, but still let her lean on his arms.
Shen Ning didn't struggle anymore, just leaning in his arms, she reached out to lift the curtain and took a look... When she saw that there were only a hundred guards in front and behind the carriage, she became a little anxious: "Are you crazy? You are returning to the capital with so few people?"
Xiao Nanchen finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "The Fengning Iron Cavalry is right behind us, less than a day's journey away from us."
Chen Ning was furious: "Less than a day? Do you know how much can happen in less than a day? Do you know that Xiao Nanrong is still coiled in the capital like a poisonous snake and may bite you at any time, you..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Nanchen pulled her over and kissed her hard.
Previous kisses were always full of throbbing, forbearance, intolerance and various emotions, but at this moment, Shen Ning felt the strong despair and panic from him.
"Ningning...I just know that I can't live without you."
Xiao Nanchen finally let her go, cupping her cheek with his slender hands and looking straight at her: "I can't live without you!"
This one sentence immediately shattered the calmness that Shen Ning had been forcing herself to maintain these days... She was speechless and leaned against Xiao Nanchen's chest without saying a word...
The day after Prince Ding led the Changning Guards back to the capital, in Pingdu City, Xu Zhiyi, still held captive by Xie Lingyue, smiled and asked, "Prince Ding has left?"
Xie Lingyue was now almost terrified by this man who seemed to know everything even though he was a captive. She rolled her eyes at Xu Zhiyi and said, "No, His Royal Highness Prince Ding is in the city. You'd better behave yourself and stop playing tricks, or I'll hand you over to him and let him chop you up."
Xu Zhiyi smiled: "He really left."
Xie Lingyue looked numb.
Did she say anything?
She clearly denied it!
"Keep an eye on him and don't let anyone talk to him."
Xie Lingyue instructed the guards on both sides, then handed the list to a personal attendant: "Take it to Lord Pei."
At this moment, Xu Zhiyi's expression slowly calmed down: "Prince Ding returned to the capital without the Fengning Iron Cavalry?"
Xie Lingyue's scalp was numb and she looked at Xu Zhiyi as if she had seen a ghost.
Xu Zhiyi curled his lips. "Miss Xie, please don't look at me like I'm looking at a ghost. It's just that the supply list you allocated is about the same as it was a few days ago. I just realized that the number of troops in Pingdu City hasn't changed much... So, Prince Ding hurried back to the capital without waiting for the army."
He narrowed his eyes and pondered, "Either His Majesty dies, or..."
"If His Majesty passes away, there will definitely be no movement in the army. Apart from this, there is nothing else that can make Xiao Nanchen disregard his own safety and become so chaotic..."
Xu Zhiyi suddenly raised his eyes and frowned: "What happened to Chen Ning?"
Xie Lingyue looked at the monster in front of her with an expressionless face. She decided not to say another word to Xu Zhiyi.
After asking his attendants to keep a close eye on Xu Zhiyi, Xie Lingyue hurried out, not wanting to be tricked into saying anything by the clever and cunning Xu Zhiyi.
In the room, Xu Zhiyi's expression was solemn.
Since arriving in Liaodong and taking over the Liaodong Army, there should no longer be any security risks around Shen Ning, not to mention that she is now by Xiao Nanchen's side.
So, something happened to her?
Poisoning?
It shouldn't.
She herself has such medical skills, even if she was accidentally poisoned, she should not be completely unable to deal with it. Moreover, based on his understanding of Xiao Nanyong... he should not want to poison Shen Ning.
So there's something wrong with her body?
Xu Zhiyi's face was gloomy. The next moment, he stood up and walked towards the door.
No more playing...
Xiao Nanchen led the Changning Guards all the way to the capital. In the imperial palace, Xiao Nanyong had a half-smile on his face.
"Master, tell me, is Seventh Brother crazy, or is he truly so conceited that he thinks he can run rampant just by relying on his Changning Guard?"
As he spoke, Xiao Nanrong curled his lips and smiled: "Or does he think that I have a good temper and can let him do whatever he wants?"
Elder Xu said gravely, "It's no surprise that Prince Ding is always unruly."
Xiao Nanyong chuckled, "Then let's see if our unruly Seventh Brother can return to the capital safely..."
Along the way, he encountered various assassinations, one after another, one after another. It was only then that Shen Ning finally saw with her own eyes what kind of situation Xiao Nanchen had been facing all along.
Now that the Queen is gone, his situation is already so critical. It is not difficult to imagine the many risks and life-and-death crises he had to face in the past.
He had grown up day by day in this environment of swords and sabers...
Shen Ning felt a little distressed, and when she thought of her current situation, she felt helpless and panicked.
Xiao Nanchen didn't say much these days, but his silence grew longer day by day. He would kill gods and Buddhas if they stood in his way, and he would not stop or even slow down in the face of wave after wave of assassinations. This expression silently revealed his inner anxiety and suppressed madness.
If it were anything else, Shen Ning would have to come up with various solutions, but facing life and death, she was powerless.
She also wanted to comfort Xiao Nanchen, but she was so deep in sleep that she could no longer control herself. Even when she tried to cheer herself up to make him feel a little more at ease, she fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, she always saw Xiao Nanchen's red eyes.
Everyone, openly or secretly, thought that Prince Ding was crazy!
What was there in the capital that was worth him risking his life and rushing back like crazy?
Xiao Nanyong sent out wave after wave of people, and their expressions became uglier day by day.
That killer was clearly injured in the assassination, but he didn't slow down at all. Is he crazy?
Xiao Nanyong was filled with hatred, but he could do nothing about it.
No matter whether it is a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, it always appears powerless in the face of absolute power.
Xiao Nanchen knew that there were many dangers ahead, but he just kept fighting his way back!
It’s impossible to stop him now, but it doesn’t matter… Just like outside Kyoto, everything around Xiao Nanchen is like an iron bucket, once he arrives in the capital, it becomes his home ground.
If Xiao Nanchen insists on rushing back to seek death, that's fine too.
The next day, Prince Ding and his entourage arrived in Beijing...
At the same time, Xiao Nanyong received two secret letters. One was the news that the secret guard had finally dug out from Liaodong: Prince Ding was injured in the battle and had summoned a witch doctor. He returned to Beijing to seek medical treatment.
The other letter was sent back by Xu Zhiyi, with only one sentence: Chen Ning is suspected to be seriously ill.
Xiao Nanyong slowly crushed the two letters into pieces and curled his lips coldly.
To this day, Xu Zhiyi still wants to use him?
