Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 148 Do You Want to Be the Queen?

At this moment, Shen Nanqiao was inexplicably reminded of the fortune that the master of Longfu Temple had told her on New Year's Eve.

Since that night, events have continued to occur one after another, and each one is enough to overturn her understanding of her past life.

However, among all these events, the one that Ning Su just talked about should be the most surprising to her.

Before this, the matter of the late emperor's posthumous child was just a rumor among the people, but now it has become a living fact.

The atmosphere was a little subtle. Shen Nanqiao mustered up the courage to speak, but didn't know how to say it.

The main news came too suddenly, without any preparation. If it was just to make her feel better, then Ning Su really spent a lot of money.

"Are you wondering why I became a child of the Ning family?"

Shen Nanqiao followed his train of thought. It was said that the girl that the late emperor favored was the daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and they were childhood sweethearts.

If she remembered correctly, that adult died of depression soon after. How did Ning Su's mother survive and survive until the moment of giving birth with him?

She suddenly looked up with an idea.

"It's the Xia family!"

Tutor Xia was once a student of the Imperial Academy, and he might have been a colleague of this Lord Jijiu.

Scholars value friendship and loyalty, and perhaps they took in the mother and son out of consideration for the friendship between colleagues and the face of the late emperor.

Ning Su raised his eyebrows, not expecting the little girl to be so smart, and nodded.

"Grandmaster Xia was entrusted by the late emperor to arrange for my mother to give birth at his farm, but there were so many people coming and going at the Grandmaster's mansion that I naturally couldn't be kept there, so the old marquis volunteered to take me away."

Ning Su's expression was indifferent, as if he was narrating someone else's story, but Shen Nanqiao knew the sadness contained in those few words.

If this is true, Ningsu has been working under the enemy's nose over the years.

The Queen Mother had driven the mother and son into a desperate situation and was determined to kill them all. Otherwise, Ning Su should have grown up in a comfortable environment.

But for ten whole years, he had to kowtow to his enemies every day.

"Why did you enter the palace in the first place?"

Shen Nanqiao wanted to ask this question early in the morning. Was it because the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion treated him harshly that he didn't want to live under someone else's roof?

"The old marquis was seriously ill that year and told me everything about my life. He gave me a choice, but I insisted on entering the palace." Ning Su said calmly, "He has been very strict with me since I was a child. He probably didn't want me to bring shame to my father's reputation, or... he wanted to keep a glimmer of hope."

What hope it is is self-evident.

If Ning Su could return to the palace in the future and get the position that was rightfully his, then the Pingyuan Marquisate would be able to claim credit for following the emperor.

The old marquis was gambling, using the infamy of losing his integrity for half his life to gamble on the wealth of three generations of the Ning family.

Until now, when people mention Ning Su, they still criticize him for being the old marquis's concubine.

"It was my own choice to enter the palace." Ning Su played with the teacup in his hand. "I don't want to stay in Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion and be unknown for the rest of my life. At least I want to make a career so that I can protect my wife and children at the critical moment."

In the second half of the late emperor's reign, the court situation was mostly suppressed by the empress dowager's family, which gave her enough confidence to kill all the descendants of the late emperor.

"So you never gave up that position from the beginning?"

How could he fail in his previous life? And how could he help the new king ascend the throne?

Ning Su looked at her.

"Do you want to be queen?"

Shen Nanqiao was stunned. She had never thought about this question before.

Ning Su raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"You have repeatedly hinted at my rebellion before. Isn't it because of this?"

Shen Nanqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"How could I suggest you rebel? I just hope you can leave yourself a way out." After all, the prince in his previous life did not give him a good ending.

But at this point, all the mysteries that had puzzled her before had reasonable explanations.

On the night of fortune-telling at Longfu Temple, she thought that Ning Su had coveted the throne in his previous life, which was why he did not have a good end.

Now that I think about it, it is most likely that the little prince discovered Ning Su's true identity.

Who can allow such a person to be by their side?

Even though the two of them once had a relationship as both teacher and friend.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao patted Ning Su's arm to comfort him.

"Everything has its destiny. In fact, if you were born in the palace, you might not have achieved what you have now. Think about it, with the power of the Queen Mother at that time, you must have been manipulated since childhood or praised to death, so a blessing in disguise."

Ning Su secretly praised it.

The little girl looks naive but is actually very sharp. If her father had kept her in the palace, she would only see what the Sun family wanted her to see.

During his time assisting Emperor Ming, he was fully aware of the difficulty of confronting the court. He took advantage of the rebellion of the princes at that time and had the secret help of *** and others.

This is all thanks to his being outside the palace.

Once he was trapped in the cage of the palace, he must have been ruined by now.

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Nanqiao thought that he was still grieving over the past, so he patted his chest again.

"And if you stay in the palace as a prince, you will most likely not be able to marry me. The Shen family is only a third-rank official, I'm afraid you can't afford it."

Ning Su tilted his head to look at her. The little girl's eyes were sparkling.

She was clearly worried about her own life experience just now, but now she turned around and comforted him.

Ning Su asked deliberately.

"So, I made a profit then?"

"A good wife brings less trouble to her husband. With me as your good wife, you can do whatever you want with half the effort, right?"

Ning Su couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and Shen Nanqiao quickly caught the clue.

"You think so too, right?" She seemed pleased. "Do you remember the fortune-telling from the abbot of Longfu Temple? You were originally doomed to fail, but it was because of my help that you were able to turn misfortune into fortune."

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the room became more subtle than before.

The word "reconcile" was too ambiguous, and Ning Su instinctively wanted to tease her, but he saw that the little girl had already blushed.

I know this is not a good time to do anything. We have just found out each other's identities, so let's take some time to digest it.

He then nodded indifferently, deliberately avoiding the sensitive content she mentioned.

"Then I will have to rely on Madam for many matters in the future."

"Then are you waiting for an opportunity to succeed to the throne?" Shen Nanqiao returned to the previous topic. He felt that since they were in the same boat, it was necessary to ask clearly.

"That... depends on whether you want to be the queen."
