The Demon Lord Forced to Marry the Female Leader
Chapter 18 The Emperor Protects the Concubine
After Chu Wan Ning had rested, he went
The emperor was very excited to see Chu Wan Ning in good condition. He also felt that she looked different from before. Her skin was whiter, her steps were more graceful, and she looked like a fairy. He couldn't help but think of her mother. He thought that he had let his precious daughter suffer such a disaster. It was all his fault that he didn't find out earlier that Chen Pi was so vicious. He felt guilty and said:
"My dear daughter, get up quickly. You have suffered a lot. Your father is ashamed of your mother's spirit in heaven for not taking good care of you. Don't worry, my daughter. Your father has already investigated the matter for you. You can sit aside and rest. I will call the stewards into the palace."
After this incident, the Emperor became more friendly to Chu Wan Ning. He spoke to her more like a common parent would address their child. In the huge palace, the Emperor was used to the intrigues in the harem and the hypocrisy of the bad guys. He finally found that the affection in ordinary families was not as simple and strong. He was tired of it and let it go.
Fortunately, it’s not too late.
Afterwards, several ministers came to the hall one after another in response to the summons. The emperor sat on the throne and signaled them to report everything to Chu Wan Ning one by one.
An old minister wearing a flat-winged black hat stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please allow me to report first."
The emperor waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to ask him and to report directly to the princess.
Chu Wan Ning nodded and saluted: "Sir, please speak."
"In my opinion, the princess was injured by the gangsters and fell into a coma that day. His Majesty the Emperor immediately ordered us to investigate the lair of the eunuch Chen Pi. We led the troops to search and found a lot of magic blood pills and anti-aging pills that Chen Pi bought on the black market, as well as some crooked mental methods and several poisoned magic weapons. We have confiscated them all. After interrogating his subordinates, it turned out that Chen Pi knew that his time was coming. He was extremely powerful and spread his net all over the world to find the elixir of immortality for him. His subordinates bought all kinds of pills from the black market, and only the magic blood pill was the most effective. At the same time, he had to take a bowl of fresh girl's blood on the full moon night to have the effect of prolonging life! Chen Pi abused his power and had an affair with the demons. He was guilty of heinous crimes. Chen Pi himself was burned to death in front of the princess's palace by the princess's pet."
Chu Wan Ning nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. I understand. Please take a rest, sir. Next."
The minister stepped back and another minister came forward.
"Your Majesty, Princess, I have thoroughly investigated the number of palace maids who have disappeared or committed suicide in the past ten years, and there are 69 of them in total. Currently, there are 30 palace maids who have been bled by Chen Pi and have scars on their hands. I have recorded their statements one by one, and all are recorded here. This evidence proves that Chen Pi and his minions are cruel and ruthless, and they have killed their compatriots."
After that, he presented a booklet. Chu Wan Ning walked over, took the booklet, opened it and took a look. The first name she saw was Guo Min'er. Chu Wan Ning nodded and presented the booklet to the emperor. She said:
"Among the palace maids there is a girl named Guo Min'er. Did you let her go after the statement was taken?"
"Reporting to the princess, Guo Min'er is one of the victims. I did not detain her."
"Okay, next one!" Chu Wan Ning sat back on the side seat.
It was still a slightly older official, but his expression was not as calm as the previous two.
"Your Majesty, Princess, since Chen Pi is a close eunuch of Concubine Xi Hui, I was ordered to collect evidence from Concubine Xi Hui. Concubine Xi Hui said she knew nothing about it. But in Concubine Xi Hui's palace, I found the anti-aging pill that Chen Pi found for Concubine Xi Hui. The bottle is exactly the same as the one in Chen Pi's room. I am incompetent, please allow me to retire and return home."
The emperor couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he waved his hand and said:
"Okay, stop talking. I know you've worked hard. This is my family affair. You don't have to investigate. Don't even mention retiring. The court is in need of people right now. Just help the two gentlemen above to investigate the Chenpi case thoroughly. Get rid of this filthy traitor. Get rid of all the people who have unclear connections with Chenpi and replace them with new people. Those who have committed serious crimes will be dealt with according to the law. When this matter is settled, you will all be rewarded handsomely. Leave!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the ministers left the hall.
"Wan Ning, Concubine Xi Hui is the mother of Wan Xin and Wan Song after all. I can't let them be without a mother because of this... this incident! They are also my children... Besides, Concubine Xi Hui is not the mastermind, she is just a little implicated, so let's not punish her."
The emperor tactfully expressed his thoughts to Chu Wan Ning.
Chu Wan Ning's eyes turned red, and after a pause she said:
"Yes, father. It's just... Concubine Xi Hui! What have you done to... me, to... Wan Jun over the years! I believe you know it in your heart. I respect you, and I can consider the overall situation. I just hope that you will take good care of her in the future, and don't stretch your hands so far, and don't think about things that are not hers. Whoever dares to touch Wan Jun, I will kill her! Don't bully us siblings because we don't have a mother!"
Chu Wan Ning almost shouted out her last sentence!
She herself didn't care, she just felt bad for her brother... Her mother risked her life to give birth to Wanjun, but she didn't get the true love of her father, and she even protected the murderer who murdered her and her brother...
After Chu Wan Ning came out of the hall, Xiao Yu, who was waiting outside, came to greet her:
"Ningning, you look so bad, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Let's go see Guo Min'er."
Since Guo Min'er was a newly selected maid and had not yet been assigned, after Chu Wan Ning's accident, the three floors inside and outside the Princess Palace were all guards, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. After she finished taking notes, she could not enter the Princess Palace, so she returned to the place where the new maids lived before.
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Chu Wan Ning saw Guo Min Er, who was practicing serving tea with the nanny. Without disturbing others, Chu Wan Ning just asked the nanny to call her out alone and talk to her.
When Guo Min'er met Chu Wan Ning, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank her, crying and saying:
"It's all my fault. I caused Your Highness the Princess to be injured. Please punish me, Your Highness the Princess!"
Chu Wan Ning and Xiao Yu smiled at each other, and Xiao Yu said bluntly:
"Oh, please stop crying! Your Highness Princess has turned a disaster into a blessing. She has cleansed her meridians and entered the realm of immortality!"
Chu Wan Ning personally helped Guo Min'er up:
"Okay, stop crying. You did a great job. I told you that being bullied is not your fault, nor is it because you are not good enough. On the contrary, it is because those people are too bad! We can't just remain silent when we are hurt. We should learn to resist!"
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand!" Guo Min'er answered straightforwardly.
"Okay, I'm relieved to see that you're in good condition. I'm leaving now, take care of yourself!"
Chu Wan Ning patted her shoulder with satisfaction and turned away. Xiao Yu walked forward side by side with her.
Guo Min'er looked at Chu Wan Ning's back, knelt on the ground, put her forehead to the ground, bowed deeply, and said loudly:
"Guo Min'er will never forget the princess' life-saving grace! May the princess be safe and sound in the future and get what she wants!"
Chu Wan Ning's lips curled up when she heard this, and her steps became more cheerful. Xiao Yu could hardly keep up with her, so she asked her:
"It feels good to save someone from danger, right? Look how happy you are!"
"Well, I was bullied when I was in school. People threw all the textbooks on my desk on the ground and blocked me on the way home after school. My parents were at work and had no time to pick me up from school. I felt so helpless at the time, but then I remembered that the neighbor brother who was two grades older than me helped me drive them away. He also told me that being bullied was not because I was not good enough, but the problem of the bullies. Later, he would wait for me at the door after school and go home with me."
Chu Wan Ning lowered her head and recalled.
"Hey, I told you that your neighbor's brother treats you too well. We all suspect that there's something wrong between you two! But you just won't admit it!"
Xiaoyu said in surprise.
"No, that's not true. We just grew up together..."
Chu Wan Ning replied hesitantly.
"Oh, forget it, don't think about it. It's still a question whether we can go back! Let's look forward!" Xiaoyu replied.
"Well, let's look forward." Chu Wan Ning said.
