Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Ever since Ning Su said he wanted to be his godparent in the carriage, Shen Nanqiao vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Until he said this just now, the feeling that something was wrong had reached its peak.

"What do you mean by entrusting it to the prince?" Shen Nanqiao spoke slowly, but his tone sounded a bit aggressive. "Don't you care about me anymore?"

Although she was not very sensitive to court affairs, she also smelled something unusual.

The Empress Dowager has been cut off from her financial support by Emperor Ming today, so I'm afraid she will have to seriously study countermeasures behind closed doors.

At this critical juncture, Ning Su did not discuss with her how to deal with the situation, but instead quickly asked her to become his godparent, which was a bit weird in itself.

Ning Su seemed to have predicted that she would be angry, so he glanced at her slightly and even smiled.

Shen Nanqiao was dazzled by the stunning beauty for a moment, but immediately forced himself to regain composure.

Just speak nicely, what ability does Shi Meinan have to calculate?

King Cheng couldn't stand his peacock-like behavior, so he cleared his throat and joined the battle.

"Of course I will take care of my daughter, but is it right to entrust your own wife to someone else to take care of her?"

Ning Su did not take it as an offense.

"The Emperor may not have doubts about what happened today, but at this critical moment he has to focus on dealing with the Queen Mother and has no time to care about it. So from today on, I'm afraid I'll have to live in the palace."

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but frown.

Ning Su reached out and touched her head, like he was treating a child, and then curled the corners of his lips.

"Right now, the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion is not a peaceful place. It just so happens that you have recognized your relationship. You might as well live in the Chengwang Mansion for a while."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Shen Nanqiao's firm refusal.

"I do not want!"

After losing the Crown Princess, the chess piece that could check and balance the Crown Prince, the Queen Mother's first choice would inevitably be the Ninth Prince, who holds some military power.

Then the Ninth Princess became the key target of surveillance. Given her collusion with Shen Jingyi, staying in Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion would naturally make it easier to monitor the movements of the two.

"The Queen Mother left Shen Jingyi here today, clearly intending to use her as a chess piece." She looked at Ning Su, "I want to go back and take charge. After all, the power to manage the Marquis's residence is still in my hands."

Ning Su was not surprised by Shen Nanqiao's refusal.

"The old lady has deep-rooted power in the palace. You alone are no match for her. It is better for you to stay in Prince Cheng's Palace. At least it will be much safer."

Upon hearing this, Princess Cheng also agreed.

"What the factory official said makes sense. If you live here peacefully, he will have fewer worries."

Shen Nanqiao chuckled.

If it were her previous life, she would only be a burden to Ning Su, but she has experienced a lot of ups and downs in this life. She can't say anything else, but at least the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is in her hands.

She tilted her head and looked at Ning Su.

"Why do you think the Queen Mother wanted to keep Shen Jingyi?"

Ning Su was stunned by the question, and before he could answer, Shen Nanqiao spoke first.

"Although the abilities of Pingyuan Hou's generation are mediocre, thanks to the old marquis, they still have some appeal among the former nobles and court officials." Seeing that the three people had listened, she slowly sat back on the chair she had just sat on. "So I guess the queen mother promised Shen Jingyi a small profit to secretly instigate Pingyuan Hou's rebellion, and then encouraged the former officials to stand on the side of the Ninth Prince in the selection of the crown prince."

Prince Cheng and the Ninth Prince have always had a good personal relationship, and he couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

"Old Nine is not a bad person, but his political achievements are mediocre. Moreover, he is a paranoid person. I am afraid he is not the best candidate for the ruler of a country."

Shen Nanqiao nodded slightly.

"The crown prince has always been the foundation of a country. Since Emperor Gaozu, the Great Chu has always established the heir first and then the virtuous. The Ninth Prince has neither of these two qualities, so he can only try to win over as many supporters as possible."

Ning Su chuckled with an ambiguous tone.

"The Sun family can only summon a limited number of old subordinates. The Queen Mother must have known that the chances of winning with real swords and guns were slim, so she wanted to start with the cabinet and old ministers to protect herself to the greatest extent possible."

Shen Nanqiao obviously didn't think so.

The fact that the Queen Mother was able to remain in the harem for so many years was certainly not just due to luck.

At the moment, this matter is tantamount to treason. If she is not fully prepared, she will never take the initiative.

As Ning Su said, the Sun family was short of troops on one hand, but the Queen Mother was obviously planning to make preparations for both situations.

On the one hand, he summoned old ministers and occupied the high ground in the court.

But on the other hand, she would not give up on fighting for the troops she could get, after all, there was a high possibility of a falling out at the last moment.

"So I have to go back to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion." Shen Nanqiao smiled meaningfully, "Whether it's the court or the battlefield, I have a way to stop him."

Prince Cheng and his wife looked at each other subconsciously, and then heard their daughter speak again.

"The Crown Prince is the legitimate heir to the throne. He should never be deposed without sufficient reason. If he is to be deposed just because a Crown Princess displeases the Queen Mother, I don't think those old ministers will agree to it, right?" She glanced at Ning Su with a half-smile. "If Marquis Pingyuan goes to file a complaint first, he will surely fabricate charges out of thin air and will most likely accuse the Crown Prince and Emperor Ming of disrespecting the Queen Mother."

King Cheng nodded slowly.

"Emperor Ming is not the Empress Dowager's biological son. Disrespecting his biological mother is indeed a crime that cannot be underestimated. But what can you do about this matter when you go back?"

Shen Nanqiao shrugged and gave a sly smile.

"Everyone likes to make up their own mind. What if I go and tell you old officials that it was the Queen Mother who was arrogant and domineering and suppressed Emperor Ming and the Crown Prince?"

Ning Su narrowed his eyes.

"You want to strike first?"

Shen Nanqiao shook his head unexpectedly.

"I plan to counter your moves." She looked over the window sill and into the darkening sky outside. Suddenly she smiled. "What moves I make will depend on what kind of monster Pingyuan Hou is going to make."

Shen Nanqiao: In other words, my expression depends on what kind of person you are.
