Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Qiu Sheng stood outside the flower hall with the imperial guards, looking solemn and exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

A maid came over cautiously, "Commander Ning, we found a dog hole in the wall of the mansion. It seems someone has sneaked in."

Ning Qiusheng's face changed, "Take me over there quickly."

Since it concerns the emperor's safety, he dare not be negligent in the slightest.

He looked at his men and said, "Stay here and wait for the emperor's orders."

"Yes."

Ning Qiu Sheng took a trusted person and followed the maid to check the scene.

When he walked to the lake, Ning Qiu Sheng saw a girl in white standing by the lake, crying.

"Madam, you love me so much, treating me like your own granddaughter and teaching me earnestly. I will never forget your kindness in my life."

"You worked so hard to get to this day, and you were about to have a good life, but... Old lady, you died tragically."

It's like crying and sobbing, extremely sad, which makes people feel pity.

If you want to be pretty, you can wear mourning clothes, a white dress with a pitiful look, which makes people love you very much.

Ning Qiusheng took another look and asked, "Who is this?"

The maid replied, "She is the Seventh Young Master's wife's biological sister, Miss Duan Rong'er."

Ning Qiusheng frowned slightly, "Why did she come here to cry? The mourning hall can no longer satisfy her?"

Maid: ...? ? ? What nonsense are you talking about?

"There were too many people in the funeral hall, and she was crying so sadly, it kind of overshadowed the main event."

As she was speaking, a maid suddenly appeared from nowhere, ran behind the girl in white, and pushed her hard.

"what."

Suddenly something unexpected happened and the girl in white was pushed into the lake, struggling in panic.

The maid turned pale with fear, "Oh no! Miss Duan fell into the river. Commander Ning, please save her."

The maid who committed the crime heard the noise, turned around suddenly, was immediately frightened, and ran away.

Ning Qiusheng rushed over, kicked the maid over, and grabbed her, "Tell me, who are you? Where did you get in? What do you want to do?"

The maid who led the way was dumbfounded. No, why didn’t you save people first?

"Commander Ning, please save Miss Duan."

Ning Qiusheng took a look and saw the girl in white floating in the water, screaming desperately. "Xiaojia, go save her."

The man jumped into the cold lake with a splash and swam towards the girl in white.

The maid was stunned. Why didn't Commander Ning rescue the girl, but let his men do it? Normal people would be heroes who save the damsel in distress, so why was he different?

What should I do?

Xiaojia swam over and the girl in white struggled desperately, causing Xiaojia to drink two mouthfuls of lake water. He suddenly became anxious and slapped the girl on the back of the neck, knocking her unconscious.

Xiaojia then grabbed the girl's collar and dragged her to the shore.

The wind was freezing cold and the girl was woken up by the cold. She stared blankly at the man in front of her, her eyes full of confusion.

"Miss Duan, are you okay?"

"I..." Duan Ronger was devastated. How could this be different from what they thought?

"Who saved me?"

Ning Qiusheng pointed at his men and said, "It was him. But don't worry, we will pretend nothing happened."

"Besides, this is the Yong Dynasty. The empress encourages women to become officials and allows women to go to school. The atmosphere is becoming more open-minded. This kind of thing is nothing. No one will use dogma to make irresponsible remarks and force you to get married. Don't worry."

He has been with Ning Zhiwei for many years, so naturally he has been greatly influenced by her. He is not a conservative person.

It was just saving someone, so what if there was a little skin contact? There was no sexual intercourse, so why did she have to get married?

When they were fighting in the northwest, they had seen everything, and there were many women who remarried, not bound by etiquette.

Only the noble ladies in the capital would care about these things.

Duan Ronger's face was as pale as paper and her body was shaking.

Seeing that she was fine, Ning Qiu Sheng took the maid who committed the crime and left, anxious to find a place to interrogate her.

Duan Ronger called him, "Sir, please stay. I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. Please accept my greetings."

Ning Qiusheng turned his head and pointed at his subordinate who was soaked to the skin. "He saved you. Thank him if you want to thank someone."

Duan Ronger bowed and made a great salute, "It was you who gave the order, so he saved me. I would like to thank you first, sir."

She turned around and bowed to her subordinate again, "Thank you for saving me, little brother. I will never forget your kindness and will definitely repay you one day."

The subordinate was flattered. "Miss Duan is too polite. It's just a small favor. The weather is cold. Go back and change your clothes and drink a bowl of ginger soup."

Duan Ronger smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you for the reminder."

A cold wind blew and she shivered.

Seeing this, the subordinate couldn't help but said, "Commander, please let Miss Duan wear the cloak."

His clothes were soaked, otherwise he would have been sent away long ago.

Ning Qiu Sheng looked at the woman with pale lips and frowned slightly. What a trouble.

However, this is Madam Ning's mourning period and no mistakes can be made.

He handed over the cloak and said, "Xiao Jia, send her back, and bring the clothes back to me later."

The most important thing is that this set of equipment is the clothes of the commander of the imperial guards. If it is left with someone else, it will be hard to say what will happen.

Duan Ronger: ...

She was wrapped in a cloak, her eyes sparkling.

Seeing that he was about to leave again, she gritted her teeth and said, "Commander Ning, have you married yet?"

Ning Qiusheng didn't think much about it and said casually, "No."

Duan Ronger took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "What do you think of me? I am the daughter of the Duan family, and the Seventh Young Master is my brother-in-law. My biggest dream in this life is to be a good wife and mother, to support my husband and raise my children, and to live my own life behind closed doors."

After these words came out, there was silence at the scene. Ning Qiusheng was very surprised. "My marriage is decided by the emperor."

Duan Ronger said hastily, "Go and ask for a marriage."

Ning Qiusheng frowned. She was a daughter of the Duan family and a relative of the Ning family. It was impossible for her to not get married. "Why?"

Duan Ronger's eyes turned red. "I've had a rough life. I want to find someone who can protect me and keep me from wandering."

Ning Qiu Sheng is a very cautious person, otherwise he would not have become the commander of the imperial guards.

"I'm sorry, I will follow the emperor's arrangements on marriage matters."

Only by listening to the emperor can he live in peace.

The position of commander of the imperial guards is too sensitive. There are too many people watching him, so he has to be on guard.

Countless people wanted to marry him, but he rejected them all. He knew that those people were attracted by his position, not him as a person.

Duan Ronger was shocked and his face turned pale.

"Commander, you..." The subordinates couldn't stand it any longer. Such a good girl took the initiative to ask for marriage, why didn't he accept it? Are you stupid?

Suddenly, Duan Ronger seemed to have seen something terrible. She screamed and pounced towards Ning Qiu Sheng.

"Be careful."

She stood in front of Ning Qiu Sheng and took the knife for him. Her chest was covered in blood and Ning Qiu Sheng's pupils were shaking violently.
