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

Ning Qingfeng had just returned home from work and had not yet had time to eat when the deputy general came hurriedly to report.

"My Lord, the Regent has returned to the capital!"

Ning Qingfeng was shocked when he heard this, "How many troops did the Regent bring back?"

As the Minister of War, he didn't hear any news at all.

What a dereliction of duty!

The news of Prince Wei's rebellion had only been spread for a few days. The regent might have returned early, as the place was thousands of miles away in the southwest.

Is he planning to rebel without telling the Minister of War?

He was promoted to this position by the regent. If he rebels and seizes the throne, which side should we take?

So anxious!

The deputy general said: "The regent has already entered the palace without any entourage. The emperor personally brought him in."

It seems that the Regent is not coming back to rebel, Ning Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go and prepare the horses. I need to go to the palace to see the Regent."

As the Minister of War, even if he was not summoned, he had to meet the Regent to discuss how to deal with the rebellion of Prince Wei.

If we want to send troops, we naturally have to ask the Ministry of War to mobilize troops and generals.

He was also willing to lead the army personally and serve the country.

"Yes!"

The deputy general immediately turned around and went out to prepare the horse.

Pei packed some cakes for Ning Qingfeng to take with him so that he wouldn't go hungry when he went to the palace to discuss matters.

He then instructed, "My Lord, although the Prince Regent has returned to the capital to deal with Prince Wei's rebellion, please ask about Luo'er's situation after you have finished discussing official business."

"This child has been away from home for more than half a year, and I don't know how he is doing."

Pei only gave birth to this one daughter, and now they are separated by distance. Although she has sent letters to let them know that she is safe, she is still very worried.

"Madam, please rest assured. Your husband will ask for permission to allow our daughter to return to the capital as soon as possible."

Because Ning Luo left the capital disguised as a man, if she is to be transferred back now, she must have a reason, which is not within the authority of the Ministry of War.

Ning Qingfeng took some dry food and hurried out.

Just as he was about to mount his horse, he suddenly saw the Minister of Rites leading a group of officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the palace guard, carrying a red box and walking towards his gate with the sound of gongs and drums.

"Lord Liu, what are you doing..." Ning Qingfeng frowned.

His precious daughter is going to be married off to someone else. Could it be some prince?

Could he be a stupid emperor?

The Minister of Rites smiled and stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Lord Ning. Congratulations, Lord Ning. The Prince Regent will marry your daughter, Ning Luo, as his principal wife soon. I have specially ordered this official to deliver the betrothal gifts to your residence."

It turned out that the Regent wanted to marry his daughter, and Ning Qingfeng felt better.

The Regent is a decent person.

But why is he so anxious? Has he already done something to his daughter?

So sad.

But at this time, Ning Qingfeng couldn't say that he would not marry his daughter.

He politely declined and asked, "Master Liu, my daughter hasn't returned to Beijing yet. It's not polite for you to come to my house to arrange the marriage without even reading the engagement letter."

Minister Liu said directly, "Marquis Ning, please rest assured. Your daughter has returned to the capital with the Regent. The Emperor personally received them. The Regent asked the Emperor to grant your daughter a marriage, so he ordered our Ministry of Rites to deliver the betrothal gifts first."

"Don't worry, since your daughter has caught the eye of the Regent, he will naturally not care about the engagement letter. The Regent is a royal noble, so he will naturally be able to live happily with your daughter forever."

In this case, Ning Qingfeng could not stop them, and hurriedly said to the servants and guards:

"Open the central gate quickly and bring the regent's betrothal gifts into the mansion."

There were 180 loads of betrothal gifts, which filled the entire courtyard of the Ning Mansion.

Pei came upon hearing the news, and seeing so many betrothal gifts, she cried and said, "My daughter has grown up, and I can't keep her anymore."

While the Minister of Rites and Marquis Ning were drinking tea and chatting, the butler came to report: "Master, the Regent and the young lady are back."

The whole family, young and old, hurried out to greet them.

The noble and heroic Regent entered the palace with Ning Luo, who was dressed in gorgeous attire.

Seeing that the two of them were in love, they looked even better than before, especially Ning Luo was not pregnant.

Ning Qingfeng and his wife felt a little relieved.

Li Yi and Ning Luo bowed respectfully when they met Ning Qingfeng and his wife.

"The son-in-law greets his father-in-law!"

"A daughter greets her father and mother."

Although they are gods who have descended to earth, Ning Luo was raised by this family, so courtesy and respect must be given to Ning Qingfeng and his wife.

In this life, their marriage was witnessed by others and was legitimate.

But after Li Yi bowed like this, the two old men felt their knees go weak and they couldn't stand steadily.

Ning Qingfeng hurriedly supported the Regent.

"The regent is in poor health. I cannot afford to take care of him. Please stop the formalities."

Li Yi realized that he already had divine power and they could not bear his courtesy, so he stopped forcing them.

State your purpose directly.

"I have come to your house today to propose marriage and arrange a wedding. I will arrange a sedan chair with eight bearers to pick me up on a chosen day."

"But now that the Prince of Wei is in turmoil, I still need Luo'er to accompany me to Wei County to quell the rebellion. The date of my return is uncertain. Please rest assured, I will definitely protect my princess."

This means that you have to leave after meeting once.

Ning Qingfeng volunteered, "State affairs are urgent. I am willing to go to Wei County with the Regent."

"No need. The king has another strategy to suppress the rebellion. Things must be done in secrecy. Too many people will make it inconvenient to act."

Li Yi didn't want to reveal too much.

Ning Qingfeng didn't want to find out how he was going to deal with King Wei.

It should be.

Ning Luo chatted with his parents for a few minutes and then left with Li Yi.

Ning Yuancheng went home to announce the imperial edict, but found himself alone.

"Why didn't my sister wait for me to come home? We haven't had time to meet yet."

Pei said, "Your sister and brother-in-law are both fine, don't worry. Your priority right now is to prepare Luo'er's marriage."

The family went to see the betrothal gift sent by the Regent. They opened the box and found it was filled with gold, jewelry, silks and satins. Each piece was of top quality and extremely luxurious and valuable.

This doesn't look like a sudden decision to get married, it seems like the betrothal gifts had been prepared long ago.

Pei said happily: "It seems that the Regent Prince really likes my Luo'er and sincerely wants to marry her."

Ning Qingfeng and his sons were worried: "Even if we emptied our family's savings, we still can't afford such a good dowry."
