Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The crowd was in an uproar and all the officials changed their expressions.

The emperor stood up suddenly, his expression uncontrollable. He actually guessed wrong? The military token was not in Ning Zhiwei's hand! Instead, it was in the hand of an unidentified person.

Unfortunately, this man is an old member of the Ning Army and has a high reputation in the Ning Army. This is troublesome and the situation is more complicated than he imagined.

If these 100,000 Ning family troops fall into the hands of others, the northwest will be in chaos, the border will be unstable, and how can the capital enjoy peace?

The emperor's face was terribly gloomy. "Investigate thoroughly immediately."

The Ning family has been working in the northwest for too long, and there have been constant battles, both small and large. The Northwest Army has become the Ning Family Army. The people living in the border areas only know the commander-in-chief of the Ning Family Army, but not the king. Which king can tolerate this?

Although the Ning family has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has withstood the test of time and war for so long that it seems normal to him, it doesn't matter even if they lose someone, as there are plenty of people to take their place.

But, obviously, the situation in the Northwest has exceeded his expectations.

The situation was so complicated that the senior officials could no longer sit still and started discussing it.

The Minister of Rites rolled his eyes and raised his voice, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the Royal Guards interrogate Miss Ning Wu?"

Good man, he still holds a grudge.

The emperor was moved, "Xuan Ning Zhiwei is coming to the court."

All the officials were shocked, and the Minister of Rites was shocked, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

When had he ever seen a woman attend court? Anyway, he had never seen one in his decades as an official.

The emperor gave him a cold look and the Minister of Rites immediately fell silent. Well, the emperor is in a bad mood, so don't bring bad luck upon yourself.

……

At the Ning Mansion, after the eunuch delivered the imperial decree, the faces of the Ning family members changed.

They are like frightened birds, trembling with fear at the slightest sign of trouble.

Old Madam Ning tried to inquire in a nice way, but the eunuch kept talking back without revealing a word, which made the Ning family members more and more uneasy.

Madam Ning stood up solemnly and said, "I will accompany you for a walk."

Ning Zhiwei grew up at the border, and I don’t know if she understands the etiquette and rules of the palace. If she behaves improperly in front of the emperor, it would be a serious crime.

At least she can help make up for it.

The eunuch's face was cold and stern, showing no mercy, "The Emperor only named Ning Zhiwei."

Under the imperial power, Madam Ning could do nothing and her heart was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

Ning Zhiwei gently patted Madam Ning's arm and said softly, "Don't worry, I will be back safely."

How could everyone not be worried? It was a court session, so something big must have happened.

When the eunuch saw Ning Zhiwei wearing a plain white dress, he insisted that it was unlucky and asked her to change into a proper set of clothes.

Ning Zhiwei didn't argue with others over such a trivial matter and casually changed into a less plain dress.

Before leaving, Ning Liu nervously held Ning Zhiwei's hand and said, "Fifth sister, a good woman is one who can bend and stretch."

Ning Zhiwei's mouth twitched. His intention was good, but was there such a thing?

"Got it. Take good care of the elders at home. Oh, and prepare a Cordyceps and Duck Soup. I want to drink it."

Somehow, Ning Liu's anxiety was greatly relieved. "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and watch it myself."

Along the way, Ning Zhiwei sat in the carriage with a calm expression. He was in the mood to open the window and look out. The streets were very lively, with shops lined up, colorful signs and flags flying in the wind, and the sounds of hawking were endless.

The eunuch observed her from the side and found that she was really calm and was not pretending. It was amazing.

In the Golden Palace, civil and military officials witnessed a rare spectacle in this dynasty.

A slender figure walked towards her slowly, wearing a lavender skirt with dark patterns, and pearl tassel silver hairpins adorning her hair, looking simple, elegant and clean.

Under the gaze of countless officials, she showed no fear and remained calm and composed.

On the contrary, the officials were somewhat incredulous. Wasn't she panicking at all?

Thinking back to the day when they first attended court, they were so timid that they didn’t even dare to say much.

Ning Zhiwei stood straight, walked gracefully and walked in front of the emperor at a moderate pace, and bowed. "Ning Zhiwei greets His Majesty."

Her manners and etiquette were impeccable, just like a lady carefully trained by a famous family in the capital.

This is completely different from his previous violent and crazy appearance.

The emperor looked at her deeply, thinking that she was being stubborn and would be vulnerable in such a sacred place.

As a result, she was calmer than anyone else.

How could the Ning family have deserved to have such a person?

"Get up, Ning Zhiwei. Do you know why I asked you to come to court?"

"I don't know." Ning Zhiwei was frank and honest, looking like someone who had done nothing wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

It is both a bad thing and a good thing for a king to be suspicious. He will not act rashly until he has complete control of the entire situation.

The emperor looked at the eunuch who delivered the decree. The eunuch nodded slightly and revealed nothing.

"A young silver-faced general emerged from the northwest and captured six cities of the Great Jin."

As he spoke, Ning Zhiwei's face showed surprise, and then, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Well done, beautiful."

The compliment was very light, but everyone present heard it and had different expressions on their faces. Why did it sound so proud? Was he an acquaintance?

The emperor asked suddenly, "Do you know who the silver-faced young general is?"

"Of course." Ning Zhi smiled, so complacently and proudly, "He is my personal bodyguard."

It was like a bolt of thunder striking everyone's head, exploding with a loud bang. They were so shocked that they couldn't believe their ears.

I recognize every word, but I don't understand them when they are put together.

Even though the emperor, who never showed his emotions, breathed a little heavier at this moment and looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief.

At that moment, he understood a lot of things.

He thought he had thought highly of her, but to his surprise, he still looked down on her.

She is not just smart, she is clearly so wise that she is almost a demon.

She came to the capital to beat the drum to report the incident. She seemed to be a lone brave person, but in fact, she was risking her life to survive.

She had already arranged several back-up plans in advance and was ready to strike with thunder at the critical moment.

Is this just what they see? What about the places they can't see?

It was not until this moment that Ning Zhiwei truly entered the king's sight.

Ning Zhiwei seemed not to notice the strangeness of the crowd and smiled slightly, "Is this strange?"

How on earth could she speak such a shocking secret in such a calm tone?

Everyone rolled their eyes at Marquis Dingyuan. How come this girl doesn't look like you at all?

Marquis Dingyuan was very uneasy, and he looked at Ning Zhiwei with bright eyes, as if he was looking at a treasure.

That is to say, Ning Zhiwei's guards controlled the 100,000 Ning family soldiers, which was equivalent to her controlling,

Rounding it off, it's his. When he thought of this, he felt inexplicably excited and his back straightened a little.

The princes looked at Ning Zhiwei with extremely fiery eyes, and they seemed determined to win.

On the contrary, Xiao Linfeng was the calmest. He had already gotten to know her during the days of monitoring her.

This person's courage and character are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and ordinary people are no match for her.

"Ning Zhiwei, please make your words clear."
