On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

Ning Yuanbo wrote a divorce letter with hundreds of words on it. Every word denounced the Liu family for breaking their promise and coming to cancel the engagement, humiliating the Ning family elders and being despicable and shameless.

He put down his pen and blew it dry, made two copies, and threw one to Liu Cheng, "Take it!"

"This... you are too arrogant. We don't recognize this divorce letter!" Liu Chengzhi said angrily while holding the divorce letter. "As long as you return the engagement certificate and the engagement certificate, our Liu family will not pursue your unreasonable offense against me today. Otherwise, I will make sure that you five sons of the Ning Mansion will never have the chance to be officials again!"

"Heh, Liu Chengzhi, you are so arrogant. Take the divorce letter and leave. Get as far away as you can!" Ning Qingfeng suddenly drew a sharp sword from his waist and pointed it at Liu Chengzhi. "Now our two families have nothing to do with each other. If you stay in my Ning Mansion, you will be a robber and I will kill you!"

When these words were spoken, Liu Chengzhi's heart trembled in shock, and he thought to himself, this Ning Qingfeng is indeed a reckless man, completely unreasonable.

Forget it. I won’t argue with this reckless man anymore. I’ll go back and make plans later.

After making eye contact with the head of the Liu family, he left with his clansmen.

After they left, Ning Yuanbo knelt down in front of his parents and said with guilt: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for causing you to worry about my marriage. From now on, I will not marry again. I will concentrate on the imperial examinations and swear to bring honor to the Ning family!"

"Yuanbo, I am very pleased that you have such ambitions. There is no rush for marriage. When you pass the imperial examinations, you will have no problem finding a wife." Ning Qingfeng helped his son up and comforted him, "We have only seen the character of the Liu family today. They came to cancel the engagement so that their daughter could enter the palace and become an empress. It is not your fault, so don't blame yourself."

Mrs. Pei also comforted her son, "Don't worry about this matter. After what happened today, we know that the girl from the Liu family is not worthy of you. If her family asks for marriage again in the future, we will not allow you to marry her."

"Well, son, I will remember today's humiliation." Ning Yuanbo clenched his fists, wishing he could become the top scholar right away, bring honor to the family, and make the Liu family regret their decision.

As the Liu family members left the courtyard, they suddenly heard a eunuch's loud announcement from outside, "The imperial edict has arrived, Ning Qingfeng, Ning Yuancheng, please accept it!"

Seeing the imperial edict was like seeing His Majesty. The Liu family members immediately knelt down and wanted to know what the edict said, so they all listened attentively.

The Emperor suddenly issued an imperial decree to the Ning family. Was he ordering Qingfeng's daughter to enter the palace? Or was he severely punishing Ning Qingfeng and his son for disobeying the Emperor's will?

As Liu Chengzhi was guessing, the eunuch Wang, who was beside the emperor, had entered the courtyard with the imperial edict. He passed by Liu Chengzhi, glanced at him, and said meaningfully, "Master Liu, are you here to cancel the engagement today? The Liu family is really blind."

Having said this, he crossed Liucheng with his attendants who were there to announce the decree.

Liu Chengzhi was a man in officialdom, and Eunuch Wang's words made him guess that the Ning Mansion was going to have great fortune.

It is true that the king’s mind is hard to guess. He stripped him of his title yesterday, but is he going to be promoted today?

Thinking of this, Liu Chengzhi felt extremely regretful. Could he take back the harsh words he had said to Ning Qingfeng before?

Ning Qingfeng led his family out to receive the order. After bowing, he said in a clear voice: "Ning Qingfeng, please accept the order. My son Ning Yuanyuan has gone to the Hanlin Academy to serve and has not returned yet. Please forgive me, Eunuch Wang."

Eunuch Wang smiled and nodded, "Just tell him later."

Then he read out the imperial edict: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Ning Qingfeng is loyal to the country. Considering his many contributions to the Great Xia Kingdom, his title will be restored from today onwards, and his family will inherit it. He will also be appointed as the Minister of War. His son Ning Yuancheng works diligently in the Hanlin Academy and is indeed a talented person. He will be promoted to Junior Secretary of the Chancellery. I decree this!"

The Ning family was surprised and delighted when they heard this, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Yuancheng was suddenly promoted from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, which was truly a blessing from heaven.

But this good luck came very suddenly, and Ning Qingfeng was worried that the emperor still wanted Luo'er to enter the palace.

When Liu Chengzhi heard outside the courtyard that Ning Qingfeng had his title restored and was given the position of Minister of War, he immediately felt remorseful. Was Ning Qingfeng just lucky?

Did the emperor still want him to be his father-in-law?

Unfortunately, he couldn't see what was going on inside, so he couldn't help but stand up and try to find out what was going on.

After taking a few steps closer, he saw Ning Qingfeng giving Eunuch Wang ten taels of gold as a thank you gift.

"I don't know why His Majesty restored my title and gave Ning Yuanyuan and I promotions. Does the eunuch know the reason?"

Eunuch Wang accepted the thank-you gift and said with a smile, "Lord Ning may not know that just now, His Majesty and the Queen Mother appointed Prince Jin as the regent. It was the regent who interceded for your Ning family and allowed you to be reinstated."

"Then... does my daughter still need to enter the palace?" Ning Qingfeng asked tentatively.

The eunuch said, "It is not necessary. The regent advised your majesty to cancel the selection. Your majesty listened to the advice and did not ask the ministers to send their daughters to the palace. You can rest assured."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ning Luo and sighed in his heart, it is a pity that such a beautiful girl has no chance to serve the emperor.

Ning Luo thought that the lunch was not in vain. Li Xuan said that he would protect the Ning family, but he didn't expect that Li Yi did it first.

How could he, a vegetarian and Buddhist, be willing to be the regent?

I'll come over tomorrow to congratulate him on his promotion.

With someone in the court, Ning Mansion is safe.
