God of War ran away with the ball after remarrying

Lin Yanqing was stunned for a moment.He didn't expect Chu Ning to admit this at this moment.

According to Chu Ning, they got married only because of an agreement. Before that, they had no contact with each other, and they didn't have any emotional basis.

He thought... He thought that Chu Ning would definitely hate Xie Heng if he got Chu Ning with such a plundering method. Even if the two were already married, he secretly hoped that they would separate one day.But she never thought that Chu Ning would admit...to admit that he likes Xie Heng.

It was like a blow to the head for him.

"But...you're not Xie Heng. Without his power, how could you save him?" Lin Yanqing didn't mean to hit Chu Ning, but he didn't want to let Chu Ning do useless work.

If the emperor is determined to eradicate Xie Heng and the Xie family for Prince Yan, Chu Ning, a person who has been imprisoned by the emperor before... how can the emperor be shaken?

That's right... Chu Ning also understood in her heart.Although the Xie family has always been in power, it has made countless enemies. Those who can save the Xie family may not lend a helping hand.

"Then I can only... I will ask His Majesty myself." Chu Ning looked down at her feet, her tone was serious and decisive. "Since I promised to marry him, I will definitely not abandon it. If the Xie family suffers, then I will not be able to escape."

Lin Yanqing looked slightly startled, and no longer knew what words to use to persuade Chu Ning.I'm afraid no matter what he said, he couldn't stop Chu Ning's determination.

He could only look at the back of Chu Ning leaving.

After leaving the teahouse, Chu Ning went to the household registration department of Jingzhaoyin's mansion first, and went home directly after she came out.After returning home, he immediately went to the Chu family's warehouse, and took out the most delicate things kept in the house.

This is a helmet that my grandfather wore when he was young. At that time, Daliang was not so powerful, and was in the midst of internal and external troubles. With a silver spear, my grandfather overthrew the five tribes in the northern border, and recovered fifteen cities in Daliang one after another.

There was also a helmet in the box, which belonged to Chu Ning's father.At that time, the first emperor died early, and the emperor competed with the eight princes for the throne, and blood flowed like a river.The emperor was trapped in the Old Summer Palace, and it was father Chu who led the eight thousand palace guards in the Old Summer Palace to fight bloody battles to send the emperor back to the palace to ascend the throne.

Chu Ning knew very well that although she had made great military achievements, she had no sympathy in the emperor's heart, so she could only use these things to show her sympathy, and she didn't know whether these things were still useful in front of the emperor.

The two helmets have serious scratches, and it can be said that they are full of scars.But in Chu Ning's heart, this is the most precious thing. When he was in prison, he didn't think of taking it out, but this time he wanted to use it for Xie Heng to plead for mercy.

Chu Ning stroked the two helmets and sat quietly for the whole afternoon.He didn't come out until the evening, had dinner first under Chang Ming's service, and then took a bath and changed clothes.

Chang Ming went out to inquire all afternoon. At this time, everyone avoided Xie's family. Even the Queen was kneeling outside the Zichen Hall. No one dared to touch this bad luck. They all wanted to curry favor with Prince Yan.

As for Xie Heng's news, there is still nothing, only know that the emperor sent a confidant to investigate, but this confidant had never dealt with the Xie family, and now the house is closed, and no one can be caught. Impossible to help.

Chu Ning nodded after hearing the news, and then lay on the bed ready to sleep.However, after turning off the lights, he couldn't fall asleep anyway, tossing and turning.

The smell of Xie Heng still lingered on the bed, it was a clear and sweet smell of wine.He stroked the pillow and quilt that Xie Heng slept on on the bed, and his heart became more and more confused.

But he also knew that he must not fall down.

In this way, Chu Ning spent a long night half asleep and half awake.

It was snowing again when she woke up the next day, Chu Ning put on her official uniform and cloak, told Chang Ming to pack her things and set off for the palace.It was approaching the end of the year, and the morning court was changed to every five days, so if Chu Ning wanted to enter the palace, she had to submit a sign to register before entering.

Fortunately, the handing of the sign went smoothly, indicating that the emperor was still willing to see him at this time.He hurriedly took his things to the side hall of Zichen Palace and waited for the summons.

There are many ministers in the side hall on weekdays, but today there is only Chu Ning, and there is only a freshly lit charcoal basin in the side hall, it is really cold.Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, the emperor asked the eunuch to come over to make an audience.

When Chu Ning followed the eunuch, her mind was still blank. He couldn't think of anything, and didn't know how to explain it.He was not a person who was good at guessing people's hearts, so it was really difficult for him to come here to intercede.

When the door curtain of Zichen Hall was opened, a gust of hot air rushed in. Several charcoal basins were placed in Zichen Hall, and it was very warm when entering.

Chu Ning walked up to the emperor cautiously, knelt down respectfully and saluted. "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Stay flat." The emperor seemed to be in good spirits today. He seemed to be correcting the memorial when he sat on the dragon chair. Seeing that Chu Ning came in and sat upright, he asked slowly, "Aiqing came here in the snow today, but Is there something important to report?"

The emperor looked at Chu Ning with some cloudy eyes, his eyes were full of wisdom, as if he had already seen through what Chu Ning was going to say.

Chu Ning did not stand up, he continued to kneel on the spot, his hands on the ground were shaking. "I came here today to ask His Majesty to forgive me and thoroughly investigate Xie Heng's case."

"Investigate Xie Heng's case thoroughly?" The emperor's tone rose slightly, "He did something wrong, so I will naturally investigate thoroughly. What is Chu Qing questioning?"

The emperor's tone seemed a little displeased.

"If Xie Heng did something wrong, he should of course be punished. But I am willing to guarantee that he will never collude with the enemy and treason. I believe that Mr. Xie is a man who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he will definitely not do such a shameless thing." He straightened his back and spoke righteously: "Also, if he framed the minister in the beginning when he was collaborating with the enemy and treason, then he continued to frame the minister during the thorough investigation. There is no need to rehabilitate the minister, so it must not have been done by Mr. Xie."

The emperor lowered his head and stared at Chu Ning condescendingly, as if he wanted to see something on Chu Ning's face.It's not that he doesn't know the outside speculation and the direction of the wind, and he believes that Chu Ning knows it too.

"But he has more than one crime, Chu Qing." The emperor cleared his throat, took a sip of tea slowly. "He is too young, and it is easy to do wrong things. If he does wrong things, he will pay the price of doing wrong things."

"Is he really guilty...or does His Majesty think he is guilty?" Chu Ning raised her head and looked at the old emperor with burning eyes.After these conversations, he had almost confirmed that the emperor did not let go of the Xie family's heart, and he became bolder when speaking.

"Chu Qing! Do you know what you're talking about!" The emperor slammed the brush on the table, splashing several spots of red ink.

"I naturally know what I'm talking about." Chu Ning knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Your Majesty and Xie Heng have already registered their marriage in the Jingzhaoyin Mansion. Although they have not celebrated the ceremony, they are already relatives of Mr. Xie. In the name of Xie Heng's relatives, I ask Your Majesty to look at the loyalty of the three generations of the Chu family, and beg Your Majesty to show mercy. I don't ask him to be an official in the court, but I only ask His Majesty to spare Xie Heng's life."

Chu Ning clenched her hands tightly, but her heart suddenly calmed down.If the emperor was really ruthless, then as Xie Heng's wife, he would definitely not be able to escape.

The emperor seemed to be silent for a while, and Chu Ning could only hear her own heartbeat in the entire palace.After a long time, the emperor suddenly spoke out—not to Chu Ning, but to ask the chief eunuch to evacuate all the people in the room.

Chu Ning raised her head abruptly, already realizing that something was wrong, but she couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.

It wasn't until there were only the two of them left in the hall that the emperor looked at Chu Ning again, and there was an indescribable feeling in his eyes, a little emotional, and a little distant, as if he remembered something.

Chu Ning suddenly realized that when he said that he was Xie Heng's relative and married to Xie Heng... the emperor was not even half surprised.At that time, Xie Heng did it very secretly. If he hadn't paid special attention to it, he probably wouldn't have known about it.

But the current situation shows... I am afraid that the emperor already knew about his relationship with Xie Heng, and he was waiting for him to come to ask for help.And from this point, it can also be revealed that Xie Heng is not the person targeted by the emperor this time.

What is revealed here... But there is a lot of information that is different from the speculation of the outside world.

"Chu Qing, do you know why I uphold Prince Yan and suppress Prince Duan?" The emperor lowered his eyes, his expression cold and heartless.

Promoting... Suppressing... Through these two words, Chu Ning can understand that neither of these two will be the new king in the emperor's mind.Could it be that...the emperor really wants the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne?The Ninth Prince is so young, even if he is talented, it is not safe.

"Forgive me for being stupid...I don't know!" Chu Ning replied in a low voice.

"Both of them are my sons, and I know them best." The emperor's hoarse and old voice was like rubbing sandpaper. "Prince Yan is brave and foolhardy, and he does things simply and rudely. Prince Duan is smart and conceited, and his mind is never used in the right place. Promoting Prince Yan will definitely make him complacent and make mistakes, and suppressing Prince Duan will definitely make him resort to dangerous tactics. "

Chu Ning's heart tightened, these words should not be said to him at all.

"Old Five thought he was doing enough to cover up. However, there is no king in the world, and I have already figured out his little thoughts." The emperor smiled mockingly, "In a day or two, he will definitely Use the soldiers and horses from Concubine Shu's mother's family in Jizhou to force the palace."

"Your Majesty means..." Chu Ning's heart was already filled with turmoil.He never thought that the emperor, as a father, would calculate his son so much.He never thought that Prince Duan would be so bold that he dared to force the palace.

"I want you to use the Tiger Talisman to mobilize troops. One is to repel Prince Duan's rebellion, and the other is to protect Prince Yan from fleeing." The emperor said calmly.

But the calmer she was, the more Chu Ning could feel the undercurrent.If it was really only these two requirements, then as the Great General of Zhenbei, this was his unshirkable duty, and there was no need to make any deals at all.

"Third is... Chuqing, you must die at the right time." The emperor finally stated his final purpose. "As long as you die in battle and Prince Yan and Prince Duan lose power, naturally the new emperor will no longer be a threat, and I can let Xie's family go."

Chu Ning raised her head abruptly, her mind went blank at that moment, and she didn't know how to react at all.But when he fully realized the content of this multiple-choice question, he knew that he had no choice.

To make a deal with the emperor, as long as the deal is proposed, there is no room for change.

Chu Ning kowtowed heavily again, and replied decisively——

"I... thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

The author has something to say: ask for the gender of the baby, is it a girl with a combed hair and a mini gun, or a girl who is white and tender and will act coquettishly?

Bad taste theater

Chu Ning: I met my parents, but they didn't seem to like me and wanted me to die.It's all Xie Heng's fault!

Xie Heng [kneeling on the ground]: It's my fault, it's my fault, baby girl, don't go! [Erkang hand]

Of course Chu Ning won’t die, of course she’s taking her baby on the run, staying and flying with her male partner, Xiaoxin (I hope you all remember who Xiaoxin is)
