Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

During the days when Ning Zhiwei was heading towards the capital, several rebel kings gathered in the capital and fought each other several times, and many people died in the battle.

Afterwards, they formed another alliance and agreed to besiege the capital together and divide the world equally.

The fighting power of these rabble was limited, and after besieging for many days, they were unable to do anything to the Southern Emperor in the capital.

The Marquis of Zhennan is no pushover. He has been stationed in the southwest for a hundred years. The elite soldiers and generals under his command and their rich combat experience are enough to enable them to hold off this mob.

However, Marquis Zhennan was weighed down with worries and could not sleep at night.

He could enter and leave the palace at any time, and no one dared to stop him, and he went all the way to the emperor's bedroom.

He looked at his daughter who was standing by the bed and asked softly, "Shu'er, how is the emperor today?"

The queen looked tired and haggard. "She is still in a coma. The imperial physician said that the poison has penetrated into her bones. It will be too late if we don't cure it now."

The Marquis of Zhennan looked at the skinny emperor and was silent for a long time. "Will he die?"

The queen shook her head slightly, "No, but I have been bedridden for many years and have to take medicine for the rest of my life."

Zhennan Hou sighed softly, "Just stay alive."

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Di woke up and saw the father and daughter beside the bed. He was very moved and said, "Uncle."

The Marquis of Zhennan spoke in a very gentle tone, "Is the emperor awake? Is he feeling better?"

"Uncle, is there still no news from Medicine King Valley?" Emperor Nan felt weak all over, unable to move his hands and feet, and felt very uncomfortable.

Zhennan Hou smiled bitterly, "Logically speaking, they should have arrived at Yaowang Valley a long time ago, but there is no news at all. Maybe something went wrong."

The Southern Emperor was so angry that he thought it must be the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Uncle, please send out your most elite troops and be sure to invite the Medicine King here."

"it is good."

The Southern Emperor was extremely worried. He posted a notice offering a reward of 100,000 taels and a title, and invited famous doctors from all over the world.

Zhennan Hou glanced at him. Did he forget that he had already issued a reward? Was his memory getting worse?

"Row."

"Issue another notice, offering a reward of 100,000 taels for a Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill."

Zhennan Hou sighed silently. In this situation, who would dare to run to the capital? Even famous doctors are afraid of death.

Baihua Detoxification Pills are hard to come by.

Nan Di said a few words and then panted tiredly, "Uncle, I rely on you."

The Marquis of Zhennan patted his arm and consoled him, "Don't worry, you are my nephew and half my son, how can I not care about you?"

Nan Di said a few more words and then fell asleep again due to exhaustion.

The Marquis of Zhennan stood up and left. The Queen personally escorted him to the door and said, "Shu'er, take good care of the Emperor."

The queen looked at him eagerly, "Father, will the emperor get better?"

Zhennan Hou paused, "Don't think too much. No matter what, you are my daughter, and this will never change."

On the way back, the confidant cautiously advised, "My Lord, the emperor is weak and sickly and can't take on big things. You should make plans early."

People are all thinking and have their own little plans. If the emperor can't do it, then why not do it yourself?

The Marquis of Zhennan did have some thoughts, but he had too many concerns. "The situation is complicated now. Several rebel armies are at the gates of the city. The country is in danger. I have to restore the country."

Even though he had some thoughts stirring in his mind, he suppressed them.

The rebels had surrounded the East Gate and the South Gate, but they had not been able to break through. The people in the capital could escape from the West Gate, but how could they escape? Where could they run to?

If I stand out now, I will just become a target. What's more...

The subordinate continued to persuade him, "My Lord, I think that at this time, the capable should take the position. For the sake of the people of the world, we should stand up without hesitation."

The Marquis of Zhennan frowned and was about to say something when a subordinate came running over and reported, "My Lord, the Northwest Army is already at the gates of the city."

Zhennan Hou's heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell to the ground with a thud. Finally, he came, "Where is it?"

"West Gate."

The Ning family army came from the northwest and naturally blocked the west gate.

Zhennan Hou took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Marquis Zhennan looked at the troops with their orderly array and waving flags, then looked at the woman surrounded by the crowd, and his expression changed several times.

The Ning family army came all the way here under the pretext of revenge for the emperor. How could the Marquis of Zhennan not know about this?

This is what he fears the most. The Ning family is ambitious and wants to rule the world.

"Jingning County Lady, although I have never met you, I have long heard of your great name. You beat the drum to clear the Ning family's grievances. You are a rare righteous man in the world. I really admire you."

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly in greeting, "You are too polite, Marquis Zhennan."

Marquis Zhennan frowned as he looked at the sharp yet calm and composed woman. This aura of hers was something that none of the other princes possessed.

"I wonder why the Princess of Jingning County brought so many soldiers here?"

If he pretends, Ning Zhiwei will also pretend, "Serve the king and avenge the late emperor."

The Marquis of Zhennan clasped his hands and said, "The General who killed the late emperor is dead. I have avenged you. If the Princess of Jingning doesn't believe me, you can go into the city and take a look."

"However, according to the court's rules, the army cannot enter the city with heavy weapons, so please hand over your weapons and the number of people cannot exceed one thousand."

You can go into the city if you want, but you have to follow the rules.

You don't dare? You are in the wrong, leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei said, "I don't trust you."

Marquis Zhennan had never seen Ning Zhiwei before, but he had heard from different people that she was a very tough opponent.

However, I didn't expect that she was so... straightforward and didn't give face at all.

"Princess Jingning, if you don't trust me, do you trust the emperor?"

Ning Zhiwei raised his eyebrows, "The Southern Emperor? I don't trust him. He is mediocre and incompetent, ambitious but incompetent, and jealous of talented people..."

Her attitude was too obvious. The face of the Marquis of Zhennan changed drastically. "Princess Jingning, shut up. He is the emperor of Daqi. Aren't you the Ning family the most loyal to the emperor?"

Ning Zhiwei did not recognize the legitimacy of the Southern Emperor. "Then, bring out the late emperor's decree of succession and let me see it."

Only with an imperial decree can one be the legitimate successor to the throne. Otherwise, one’s access to the throne is illegitimate and cannot be recognized by everyone.

How could the Marquis of Zhennan have such a thing? If he did, the situation wouldn’t be so chaotic.

"He is the fifth son of the late emperor, the only one qualified to inherit the throne. The Ning family is a loyal and righteous family, and should be the first to stand up and support the new emperor."

Ning Zhiwei sneered, "I only recognize the orthodox, but, is he? He proclaimed himself emperor! He is a rebel!"

"It was not wrong for the Fifth Prince to flee the palace during the chaos, but he gathered a group of people to establish himself as the emperor, divided the territory, and attracted countless people to follow suit, causing countless people to be displaced. This is a crime."

"The Fifth Prince has refused to repent and has imposed additional taxes on the people in various pretexts, causing the people to suffer. This is his second crime."

"The Fifth Prince instigated people in the martial arts world to poison the generals guarding the territory. For a prince to do such a despicable thing, he only cared about his own interests and was narrow-minded. This is the third sin."
