Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

General's Mansion, Flower Hall

Ning Zhiwei sat in the main seat, the Zhang father and son sat on the left, Rong Jing and Xiao Linfeng sat on the right. The two looked at each other, turned their heads away and ignored each other.

Ning Zhiwei greeted warmly, "General Zhang, you have come from afar, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Guozhang smiled and said, "As a minister, I dare not complain about the hardship of working for the emperor. After all, we are not outsiders. I am a good friend of your grandfather, and my family Jiner is a good friend of your uncle. We have been friends for generations. Seeing that you have grown up to be so outstanding, I am really happy for Brother Ning."

Ning Zhiwei nodded in greeting, "Thank you for the compliment, General Zhang. I also think I am quite remarkable."

The father-in-law looked at her calm and composed appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart, how could such an outstanding woman not be his own?

If the younger generation could be half as good as her, he wouldn't have to run around so much at this age.

"Hahaha, good, looks exactly like your grandfather."

Ning Zhiwei couldn't help but have tears in her eyes as she kept calling Zhang Guozhang "grandfather". She was filled with sorrow and there was a hint of childishness in the way she looked at Zhang Guozhang.

The Zhang family father and son looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Rong Jing glanced at him calmly. With this little ability, he dared to play tricks on Ning Zhiwei? It would be strange if he didn't get played to death.

After chatting for a while, Ning Zhiwei finally got to the point, "I wonder what brings you here, General Zhang?"

The father-in-law stood up, his expression serious, "The emperor has given an oral order."

Everyone stood up, and the father-in-law said loudly, "Order the Princess of Jingning to lead the troops to Qinzhou to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. You have three days to leave."

This is the second time. The last time was a secret order. How anxious this is. Ning Zhiwei somehow thought of Yue Fei's eighteen golden medals to retreat.

"Who will guard this northwest border?"

General Zhenbei clasped his hands and said, "The Emperor has ordered me to come to garrison the northwest. Princess Jingning can go without worry. I'm here."

Ning Zhiwei's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, "Is there an order to transfer?"

General Zhenbei took out an imperial edict and said, "This is the imperial edict from the court appointing me as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army."

Xiao Linfeng paused. The emperor sent Ning Zhiwei to quell the rebellion and made his brother-in-law the commander-in-chief of the Ning family army. In this way, the eleven cities in the northwest would be his.

Well, that was a good calculation.

Ning Zhiwei read it carefully twice, and the meaning was unclear, "Is this what the new emperor meant?"

She was so calm that Zhang's father and son were nervous. "Of course, what's the problem?"

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "This is a big problem. First of all, I was asked to lead troops to quell the rebellion. What was my identity? He didn't even give me a clear order. It's not legitimate. How come he doesn't even understand this? Did no one remind him? Or did he do it on purpose?"

They all came from the military, how could they not understand the ins and outs behind these things? Zhang Guozhang's eyes flickered, "You're overthinking it. An imperial decree will be issued soon. It's urgent to quell the rebellion. Let's go first."

Ning Zhiwei sat back lazily, "My grandfather once taught me that everything should be done uprightly, legitimately, and with a good reason. I cannot accept such unclear instructions."

Zhang Guozhang couldn't help but get angry, "Are you suspecting that I'm falsely conveying the emperor's order?"

Ning Zhiwei remained silent. Silence also means agreement.

Zhang Guozhang and his son looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been on opposite sides from the very beginning. They wanted to seize military power for the new emperor, and the Ning family's 100,000-strong army was determined to win and completely eliminate the Ning family's influence and traces.

"Forget it. If you don't believe me, just hand over the seal and military token of the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army first."

Only by getting these two things can you take over the 100,000 Ning family troops.

This is a robbery. Ning Zhiwei's eyes were filled with more mockery. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Rong Jing's cough, "Ahem."

Rong Jing winked and said, "Princess Jingning, I feel very unwell. Can you find a doctor for me? There are no good doctors along the way."

Ning Zhiwei blinked knowingly, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Rong Jing stroked his forehead, looking very sick, "My head hurts, my feet hurt, my eyes hurt, everything hurts."

Ning Zhiwei couldn't help but get anxious, "Someone, go get Doctor Huang, Doctor Li, and Shaoyao."

"Master Rong, please go to the guest house and rest first."

Xiao Linfeng suddenly stood up and said, "Why bother? Let's go to the inn and stay there. I can still help you."

Rong Jing snorted coldly, are they familiar with each other? Annoying, "I can't walk anymore."

Ning Zhiwei's eyes rolled around, "Someone, help Master Rong down to rest."

"Excuse me, everyone. I'll go make some arrangements."

Zhang's father and son watched her quickly lead her people away and were unable to stop her.

Forget it, you can escape the first day, but you can't escape the fifteenth day, it's only a matter of time, unless she dares to rebel! But, does she dare?

The guest house is very quiet, with five main rooms, three east wing rooms, and three west wing rooms.

Rong Jing looked around the new environment. "Am I the only one living here? Where will Xiao Linfeng live?"

"What's going on with the inn across the street?"

Rong Jing's depression finally dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face. "No, touch my forehead, it's hot."

Ning Zhiwei touched his burning forehead and felt nervous. He was really sick. "Fever? Why don't you take care of yourself? If you feel uncomfortable, go see a doctor."

Rong Jing was still aggrieved, "They have been traveling at full speed, and I can't stop even if I want to. The Zhang family is too overbearing. They think it's great to have soldiers."

The secret guard standing outside the door twitched his lips. Is this still the serious adult in my family? Who is this man who is secretly acting like a spoiled child?

Who was it that was so anxious to come to see the Princess of Jingning and didn't want to stop along the way?

Ning Zhiwei comforted him distressedly, "You bastard, it's okay, I will help you vent your anger...ah, what's wrong?"

She fell into Rong Jing's arms and was held tightly. She heard the man's fragile voice in her ears, "Don't move. Let me hold you for a while."

"Weiwei, I miss you so much."

Ning Zhiwei felt a little distressed when she saw his rare vulnerability. She sighed softly. Are sick people so clingy?

"What do you want to eat? I'll make you a stewed egg. It's delicious." Well, this is her specialty! It's specially made to please people!

Only those who have eaten it will know.

"You can cook? So good? I want to eat!" Rong Jing's eyes flashed, and he deliberately asked, "Did you often cook for others before?"

Ning Zhiwei gently pinched his arm. This guy really has a lot on his mind. "How is it possible? I'm usually so busy. I have to study literature and martial arts, military tactics and horse riding. I'm exhausted after a day..."

At this moment, the guard outside spoke up, "Ahem, Sir Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Linfeng's voice rang out from outside, "Ning Zhiwei, I sent the Zhang family father and son to the inn across the street. We need to adjust our next move. We must have a legitimate reason to strike and hit the target with one strike."

Rong Jing snorted coldly and said sourly, "We?!"
