Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Ting He then got up and called Xing'er to come and wash up. After that, he had lunch with the Lin family. He was too bored in the afternoon, so he sat in the yard to practice body refining techniques. He originally wanted to go to the palace alone late at night to look for the secret order or something, but when he came back, Nan Tangqing specifically instructed him to keep his troops in place and wait until he returned to the court to discuss everything. I guess he also has his own plans.

The past few days, Zhenxiu Pavilion has been peaceful and bustling with people, but the anecdotes about the royal relatives of the Duan Dynasty are still fermenting.

It was not until rumors spread among the people that the regent who had been missing for three months reappeared, and within a few days he broke through the barbarian border and swept through the barbarians, went straight to the palace and took the head of the barbarian emperor. He also recruited hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers and brought them under his command to train every day. He had tens of millions of taels of gold, and countless cattle, sheep and horses. From then on, the barbarians were directly destroyed.

Look, the Regent is leading the entire Nan Tang Army to return to the capital today. When Tinghe learned the news, the rumor had become more and more intense, even to the point of being exaggerated enough to be compiled into a picture book, and it was even widely circulated. Tinghe's head was buzzing with pain from hearing about it, but how should I put it, it also matched the rumor that Tinghe had been in a coma for three months, which was just too outrageous.

It is said that the owner of Zhenxiu Pavilion is an extraordinary woman. Not only did she travel to the border to find the Regent to see him, but after learning that the Regent's mother was imprisoned in the Huguo Temple, she immediately went to the Huguo Temple to find out the truth. Unexpectedly, she encountered a demon monk who used young girls and children to make medicine. In anger, she rescued the victims with her passion alone, and was not seriously injured and fell into a coma during the battle with the demon monk.

Everyone thought that this extraordinary woman had been in a coma for three months, but the latest news said that the first thing she did after waking up was to rush to the border again to detoxify the Regent. People said that the Regent had not been seen for a long time because he was secretly taken away by the owner of Zhenxiu Pavilion to detoxify, and that the two had secretly fallen in love while getting along. They had already announced it to the world and got married privately under the witness of heaven and earth.

Ting He: “…” It’s so outrageous that even a picture book wouldn’t dare to write like that.

This matter spread like wildfire, and the picture book was being performed more and more enthusiastically. The whole Duan Dynasty was spreading the news that the Regent and a peasant girl had secretly got married. Originally, there were also noble ladies who liked the Regent, but they did not dare to choose the Regent because of their family's position, for fear that the current emperor would have groundless suspicions. That's why they held their temper and waited for the final result. Unexpectedly, a peasant girl got there first. It was really abominable.

In Duancheng, apart from the noble ladies of the right age to get married, most of the daughters of court officials have been taken into the palace by the Ninth Prince Nantang Du. After all, the scene of Nantang Du engaging in lustful activities with a dozen noble ladies in broad daylight in his private residence is well known to everyone, and the officials who want to save face have no choice but to put their chips on Nantang Du temporarily, hoping that one day they can have the merit of following the emperor.

However, no matter which dynasty, there were countless officials vying for power and position. They all wanted to ask His Majesty to grant a marriage decree after the Regent returned to the city. After all, it was like a bet. But when the emperor received the news, he swept down the memorials in the imperial study with bloodshot eyes and smashed all the rare treasures and furnishings. However, he still did not understand his cruelty. After a while, he twisted the back of the chair, took out a token from the secret compartment, and said to the darkness:

"Have you found a way to open the secret order? Nan Tangqing's blood is of no use at all. How can we control this group of unstoppable and indestructible Chunyu Guards?"

The man in the darkness paused and replied, "If Nan Tangqing's blood is useless, we can only wait for the abbot to achieve enlightenment before we can use the secret method to open it. By then, our Duan Dynasty will be invincible."

The emperor really relaxed after hearing this. He put on an evil smile and said, "That old bald donkey is really useless. The Huguo Temple that I have protected for half my life was destroyed by someone else, and the one who destroyed it was a peasant girl. It's really abominable. He also lost the blood of thousands of girls for nothing. He is really useless."

A voice came from the darkness again, "Your Majesty is afraid of Nan Tang Qing? No one can cure that poison, so he is probably just a waste. Even if the barbarians were defeated, it should be the work of his four great generals. Since Your Majesty is afraid that Nan Tang Qing will get out of control, why not just give the peasant girl to him directly, so that a waste and the peasant girl can be a pair, cutting off his hope of contacting the nobles, and making him never be able to take concubines or get married, completely cutting off the possibility of him gathering power. As for the abbot, he still needs more blood of the young girl, so Your Majesty is requested to prepare some as soon as possible. When the abbot's magical power is perfected, he will be able to help Your Majesty dominate the whole world, and everyone will crawl at Your Majesty's feet..."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, the messenger is right. I will do my best."

……

As soon as Nan Tang Qing returned from his expedition, he entered the palace in a wooden wheelchair. After meeting the Emperor in person, the Emperor generously gave him the antidote for the next three months and warned him to come back in three months to get the antidote. He also issued an imperial decree to grant him marriage.

Nan Tang Qing pretended to be disabled and had a sad and angry expression and disobeyed the order, but he could not suppress the emperor's dominance. In the end, he accepted it with grief and anger. The emperor then rewarded him with some things and sent him out of the palace.

The emperor also sent people to check his body and found that the poison was still there, but Nan Tangqing forced the poison into his legs, which made him disabled and unable to stand. A prince with crippled legs must be useless. The rumors in the market don't seem to be credible, otherwise, didn't you see that he was so resistant to the marriage with the peasant girl? Humph, let the waste marry the peasant girl, forever.

After Nan Tang Qing finished his performance in front of the Emperor, he returned to the Regent's Palace with bloodshot eyes and refused to come out. It seemed that he was very angry. After returning to the palace, Nan Tang Qing smashed everything in the house. His cold expression scared everyone in the Regent's Palace.

When the imperial decree of marriage was passed to the people, Ting He also heard about it. She was a little bit unbelievable whether this emperor was really stupid or just pretending to be smart. The rumors about the regent and her were all over the place. It was obvious that they had an affair. Isn't this exactly what he wanted? He also issued an imperial decree of marriage. What was the meaning?

As soon as the night fell, Tinghe hid her body, easily climbed over the wall and entered the Regent's Palace.

She carefully avoided the patrolling guards and walked towards Nan Tangqing's room. After arriving at the door of the room, Ting He gently pushed the door open and saw Nan Tangqing sitting in a wheelchair with a gloomy face.

"You're here." Nan Tangqing's voice was cold.

Ting He walked up to him, squatted down, and looked into his eyes. "What on earth does the emperor mean? He clearly knows our relationship, but he still issued such an order."
