Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

"Is my elder brother really dead?" Behind the imperial desk, the emperor's expression was gloomy, and his tone was more sad than scrutinizing.

"Yes, I found him myself and buried him myself!" Ning Weizhou knelt upright on the bluestone in front of the imperial desk.

"After falling from such a high cliff, it should have been broken into pieces. How could you recognize it?"

"Your Majesty is wrong. If a person falls from a height, as long as his face does not touch the ground, he will naturally be able to recognize himself!"

"Prince Dun's face is intact?"

"That's impossible. He fell on his face, and his face was smashed to pieces!"

"How dare you!" The emperor slammed the table angrily, "How dare you tease me?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Ning Weizhou kowtowed quickly and said, "When I found the bottom of the cliff, Prince Dun's chest was still warm and he was holding a jade pendant in his hand."

As he spoke, Ning Weizhou took out a bag from his sleeve and said, "I have washed it clean, Your Majesty, please take it with confidence."

Eunuch Gao took small steps over to take it and presented it to the Emperor.

The jade pendant that was poured out of the bag was warm and translucent, and it was a material and pattern that the emperor was very familiar with.

Because, in the drawer at the head of his bed, there was also an identical jade pendant.

When they were still princes, the Kingdom of Shu presented them with a huge jade stone, which was of high quality and as smooth as cream.

The late emperor was very happy, as he had just had a son, so he ordered skilled craftsmen to cut the jade into several pieces and carve identical patterns on them.

The jade pendants were made to be of almost the same weight, and each prince received one, symbolizing the late emperor's expectation: brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other!

Over the years, the princes got better jade pendants, and no one wore them regularly.

Only Prince Dun kept wearing it. He said that as the eldest prince, he should follow his father's expectations and always remember his father's teachings.

In fact, the emperor took off the jade pendant only after he ascended the throne, but he still placed it well beside his bed.

The emperor stroked the jade pendant with his fingers for a long time without saying a word.

After a long while, a sigh was heard in the imperial study: "The jade pendant is placed here with me. His funeral has caused great concern among the clan elders."

"Yes!" Ning Weizhou just responded, and the emperor raised his eyebrows:

"Who asked you to answer?"

"Kneel outside and don't get up for two hours!"

Eunuch Gao stole a glance upwards, bowed and replied, "Yes, I will go and pass on the order right away."

Ning Weizhou stood up without saying a word, walked to the yard, and knelt down decisively.

When it comes to the funeral of a prince, there are always many things that must be reported to the emperor before a decision can be made.

When people passing by saw Ning Weizhou kneeling in the courtyard, they all lowered their heads and walked on without looking around.

Ning Weizhou knelt very confidently, and when he met someone he knew, he would even raise his fist and say hello, which scared the person so much that he ran away even faster and wished he could get away!

Prince Dun was the emperor's older brother and had a special fondness for the young emperor. Even when the late emperor finally chose his youngest son as the crown prince, Prince Dun had no complaints at all.

Ning Weizhou is in a really miserable state now, even more miserable than Prince Dun!

Even if Prince Dun was careless and died accidentally, but would you dare to let a prince lead the charge into battle when he follows you to suppress bandits?

They should be allowed to stay in the camp and be protected by dozens of capable soldiers!

"Alas, young hero, I'm afraid this is the end of your life!" Some clan members shook their heads and sighed with regret.

"Father, Xiaozhou has caused a big disaster. What should we do?"

In the study of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Ning Bei'an paced back and forth, feeling very uneasy.

The Duke of Zhenguo narrowed his eyes slightly and stood still.

"Xiao Zhou is just too young and hot-tempered. He only cares about fighting in the battlefield. He doesn't care about the intrigues in the court at all!"

Seeing that the Duke of Zhenguo didn't say anything, Ning Bei'an became even more anxious.

"What's wrong with just knowing how to fight the enemy? Do we all have to become like you, pretending to obey but actually disobeying?" The Duke of Zhenguo said in a deep voice:

"He is the general of the Wu Kingdom. He is different from those soldiers in your Ministry of War. They are all greedy for life and afraid of death. They only know how to hide in the dark, flatter the powerful and behave like rats in the gutter!"

"Prince Dun is also a strong-willed man. He has personally led the army to win many battles. However, in order to maintain the stability of the court, he has stayed in the capital and has not touched the military power. Do you think everyone is as dirty as you?"

Ning Bei'an was scolded and could only bow his head and admit his mistakes: "Son, I didn't say they were wrong, but now that things are like this, how can Xiaozhou get away with it?"

"What crime can he escape? He was innocent to begin with. It was you gossipers who forced the emperor to convict him!" The Duke of Zhenguo slammed the table and stood up:

"Ning Weizhou is the grandson of my Zhenguo Mansion. Who dares to talk nonsense again?"

Ning Bei'an was dumbfounded, secretly regretting in his heart,

He is stupid and doesn't have the foresight of his father!

When Prince Dun was killed, the emperor had ordered Ning Weizhou to kneel in public as punishment. The royal family's attitude had been made clear.

However, he was just like everyone else, talking about how Ning Weizhou would be convicted of a serious crime. He was really worried, but others might not be!

"My son knows he was wrong!" Ning Beian knelt down: "But how can I make amends now?"

"We don't need to do anything. We just need to keep our doors shut and stay quiet until the storm passes."

"Yes, son, I'll arrange it right away!"

Inside the Weiwu Marquis's mansion, Shen Zhili leaned against the head of the bed, supporting himself with his hands, with a smug smile on his face: "I heard that Ning Weizhou is going to be imprisoned?"

"The Marquis is well-informed." Xiao Shuxue winked, and the maid beside her put down her work and walked out of the house.

Shen Zhili was immersed in joy, and was only happy: "Such big news, of course I know!"

"Madam, you always say that Ning Weizhou is a hundred times stronger than any other man in the world, but now look at him. He doesn't understand the ways of the world and actually got into trouble with the emperor. Hehe, he'll be in trouble if he doesn't die! It's hard for Gu Feiwan. He finally climbed up the social ladder, but now he has to become the family of a criminal. If he is sold or exiled..."

Xiao Shuxue paused while holding the chess piece in her hand: "Does the Marquis want to buy Gu Feiwan back?"

"Ahem!" Shen Zhili quickly glanced at Xiao Shuxue and said with a smile: "Look at what Madam said, how could that be possible?"

"However, Gu Feiwan's beauty is rare. If Madam is willing, it would be a graceful thing to buy it and put it in the house for viewing!"

"My Lord, you want me to take a look, don't you?" Xiao Shuxue's eyes were full of sarcasm: "We are both women, why should I watch her?"

"I think the Marquis wants to see it himself? Maybe he wants to do more than just see it, he also wants to try it?"

"That's right. The Marquis has been her husband for three years in vain, but he has never had sex with her. How can he not miss her?"

"Madam, it's not what you think. I only have you in my heart!"

Xiao Shuxue smiled upon hearing this and lazily threw away the chess piece: "Yes, even if the Marquis wanted to steal, he doesn't have the ability to do so now!"

Shen Zhili's face turned red instantly!

Somehow, his back problems kept recurring, were never completely healed, and each time they recurred, it was more severe than the last!

Every time he thought he had recovered and was about to apply for reinstatement, his back would ache unbearably and he would have to stay in bed again.

The famous doctors we invited all said that Xie Xilan’s medicine had a huge effect, but now the person is dead, what else can we do?

What made Shen Zhili even more panicked and embarrassed was that the disease had affected other vital parts of his body!
