Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 127 Being Pulled Out While Taking a Bath

Ning Su then discussed the situation in the court and future deployment issues with Prince Cheng.

Prince Cheng returned to the capital this time on orders. Emperor Ming guessed that he would inevitably have to face a head-on conflict with the Queen Mother over the issue of the Crown Prince marrying a wife.

She had tried to control the government for many years without success, and now had to place all her hopes on the crown prince.

Although Sun Rulin got off to a bad start, the Sun family has more than just this one daughter. The legitimate daughters from the side branches can also be used when necessary.

Emperor Ming naturally would not allow her to do whatever she wanted, so after discussing with Ning Su, he tried every means to call back all the people who could be summoned from outside.

Be prepared to use force if necessary.

Although Prince Cheng does not have many troops, the Yanyun Guard is the elite among the elite, especially in the palace war, they can be of great use.

In order to avoid the Queen Mother's eyes and ears, Prince Cheng deliberately did not rush back to attend the New Year's Eve banquet, so as not to attract too much attention and arouse suspicion.

"Is the emperor determined to let the prince take charge of the affairs of the country as soon as possible?" When facing Ning Su, Prince Cheng regained his former dignity as a brave and skilled general. "Are you sure you won't consider this position again?"

Ning Su glanced at Shen Nanqiao and saw that she was holding the token in a daze and her attention was not here.

In fact, he didn't want to avoid her, but for things like this, the less you knew, the safer you would be.

"I watched the prince grow up, and I can trust him."

Prince Cheng snorted coldly.

"Can you trust it? There are many things in this world that you think are natural, but how many of them end up going against your wishes?"

Just like him, he was sure that he would be able to marry the girl of his dreams after his triumphant return to power, but what was the result?

He had made many military achievements at that time and was highly respected. What kind of difficulties could he have that he couldn't solve?

When it comes down to it, it's just that people's hearts change easily.

Ning Su didn't know what was going on in Prince Cheng's mind, but he had assisted Emperor Ming until now and had some feelings for the prince.

"I have no intention of ruling the world over." He made shocking remarks but his expression remained calm.

Prince Cheng raised his eyebrows and listened to Ning Su continue.

"The prince will also be a good emperor."

"But he may not be a good child who respects teachers." Prince Cheng said indifferently.

If Shen Nanqiao heard this sentence under normal circumstances, he would definitely agree with it.

But at this moment she was completely immersed in what King Cheng had just said.

In her impression, her mother was a quiet person who seldom socialized with others.

As a child, the only place she visited was the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and most of the time it was the old lady who took her there.

Even Mrs. Xia, her former close friend, didn't have much contact with him after marriage.

But the Prince Cheng in front of him actually said very naturally that he and his mother were good friends in the past.

She was not making malicious speculations, she was just curious, what kind of close relationship could be called a good friend?

Ning Su saw Shen Nanqiao remained silent, so he subconsciously turned to look at her.

The little girl sat quietly on the chair, her eyes fixed on a certain point, not knowing what she was daydreaming about.

Prince Cheng followed Ning Su's gaze and saw that the girl's profile was graceful and beautiful, exactly like a figure in his memory.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

Ning Su turned around and just caught a glimpse of King Cheng's fleeting look of shock, and he felt more and more that something was wrong.

He had been in the East Factory for many years and had a keen sense of observation. An unexpected thought suddenly flashed through his mind, so he spoke as if he had not intended to.

"I heard that Shen Mingde has always favored his concubine over his wife. Given Madam Shen's family background and appearance, it's not considered too high a mark to marry. His attitude makes it seem like he has some leverage over Madam Shen."

Prince Cheng looked up suddenly, as if something was touching.

Ning Su seemed unaware of this and continued fiddling with the map in his hand.

"So it's a pity that Mrs. Shen died early due to depression. She was unable to take good care of her daughter, causing her to suffer for so many years."

Prince Cheng finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"She is the only legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Can Shen Mingde still treat her harshly?"

Ning Su snorted coldly.

"It's more than just harsh treatment. A mere concubine's daughter dared to snatch her marriage. If Madam Shen were still alive, how dare these people do this?"

Prince Cheng couldn't help but clench his fists.

Many years ago, when he came back, he saw her face full of love when she was pregnant, and he was defeated by this motherly love. Because he knew her too well, he knew that no one could match the position of the child in her heart.

If I knew that my beloved daughter was being trampled on like this...

Thinking of this, King Cheng was filled with indignation. Shen Mingde simply deserved to die!

Ning Su curled the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly.

The three of them had their own thoughts and ended the conversation hastily.

Before leaving, Prince Cheng endured the pain and ultimately did not say a word.

He actually wanted to ask if there were any things he had given away in the past among the relics left by her mother.

Ning Su took in all of his hesitation to speak, and some of his guesses became more certain.

It is still New Year's Day and the city is brightly lit.

However, Shen Nanqiao didn't say a word on the way back to Songchangxuan. Too many things happened in the past two days, and she felt overwhelmed.

It was not until she stepped into the familiar courtyard and soaked in the hot water Linglong had prepared early in the morning that she felt she was gradually coming back to life.

"Miss, I heard that Madam Shen was kidnapped?" Linglong carefully rubbed her back.

Shen Nanqiao uttered a vague "hmm".

Only then did she remember that no one seemed to have informed Pingyuan Hou about this matter. She chuckled and sat up from the bathtub.

"Let Amber go over there and inform Madam Hou that Aunt Xu was taken away by the spies." She paused, "Be ambiguous when giving instructions. Let Amber say that she came quietly to tip off the lady."

Linglong understands.

"I'll go and explain it right away."

She had a purpose in keeping that girl by her side until now.

Although the current situation is a little different from what I expected, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and could come in handy.

She closed her eyes and heard Linglong open the door and go out. Shen Nanqiao quietly immersed himself in the hot water again.

She originally thought that after her rebirth, many things would be answered, but she never expected that new mysteries would appear one after another, making her road to gratitude and revenge more difficult.

Thinking of the urgent task at hand, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Shen Jingyi, who was pregnant with the Marquis's child, was abducted. Even if she lost the baby, it would not hinder the Marquis's plan to continue the family line.

After all, Ning Ziyu is about to marry Su Wan'er, and having children is only a matter of time.

On the other hand, Ning Su can only adopt one child from the clan?

The two of them sleep in the same bed every day and have never crossed the line. Is he unwilling, or is he really unable to do so?

The image of the booklet hidden in the bottom of the box on the wedding night popped into Shen Nanqiao's mind without warning. She felt her face burning. She took a deep breath and sank to the bottom of the bathtub, hoping to sober herself up.

Perhaps the sound of water was so loud that it alarmed people outside. Ning Su's vigilant voice came from across the wall.

"Are you okay?"

But Shen Nanqiao was buried deep under the water and didn't hear anything.

Ning Su immediately had a bad premonition in her heart. She had suffered a series of blows today. First, she learned that she might not be her father's biological daughter, then she encountered an assassin, and on top of that, the crisis of her biological mother's reputation was always hanging over her.

Although she usually appears more mature than most people, she is still a little girl after all!

Are you thinking too much?

Without thinking too much, he rushed into the bathroom and saw that it was filled with mist. There was no human figure on the bathtub.

Only rose petals float on the surface.

Ning Su's mind went blank and he didn't care about anything else. He rushed over and reached out to pull out the small figure at the bottom of the bucket.

Shen Nanqiao was trying to calm himself down when he was suddenly lifted up by someone with great force and was horrified on the spot.

Ning Su was so panicked that he didn't know how to control the strength of his hands, and Shen Nanqiao was pulled out of the water by him.

There were gauze lanterns hanging at the four corners of the bathroom, and the orange candlelight inside flickered and danced, illuminating the girl's exquisite body to the fullest.

Shen Nanqiao was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, he belatedly used his hands to block it.

However, people who practice martial arts have excellent eyesight and can deeply imprint an image in their minds at a glance.

The air was filled with mist and a faint fragrance, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
