Remarry 9,000 Years Old

The issue of whether to ascend the throne has always been a topic that Ning Su and Shen Nanqiao have not completely discussed.

Just like the little girl he had loved in the past, his words were vague and unclear.

Even though I said it, it’s no different from not saying it.

Shen Nanqiao didn't like this feeling, especially after her rebirth, she liked to have a definite answer to everything.

Even though we know that this request is often not particularly reasonable.

If we could have just muddled through before, the Tatar envoys have now arrived in Da Chu, and the conflict between Emperor Ming and the Queen Mother has been exposed.

She clenched the beads in her hand and was about to speak, but heard Ning Su suddenly change the subject.

"News came from the palace yesterday that Lin Jingshu was also poisoned."

It was just a short sentence, but it contained so much information that Shen Nanqiao felt his scalp tingling.

It turned out to be a problem with the fruit juice. She quickly grasped the key point and continued.

"Did the attack occur in the palace, or after returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

Speaking of business, Shen Nanqiao no longer cared about the matter of his former white moonlight that he was still talking about with Ning Su.

Ning Su seemed to have regained his former shrewdness. He asked instead of answering.

"Where would you like to be found?"

Shen Nanqiao pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on the blue and white plum vase on the windowsill, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

If she was discovered in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, it would mean that Lin Jingshu was definitely a victim as well. After all, the Lin family had very strict education, and she would never dare to take the risk of letting the Duke Zhenguo know.

Selfishly speaking, Shen Nanqiao didn't want this matter to have anything to do with her, but after all, people's hearts are hidden.

If it was discovered in the palace, it would mean that no matter who the instigator was, the matter had become a big deal and was enough to influence the direction of the court.

Especially under the premise that Emperor Ming had already confronted the Empress Dowager, the blame for Lin Jingshu's murder was clearly directed at the Empress Dowager's party.

Then neither Emperor Ming nor the Queen Mother could sit still at this moment.

However, seeing Ning Su's calm and composed appearance...

"I guess she was discovered at the palace banquet, and..." She pretended to be silent, "and I guess the emperor and empress also know about it."

Ning Su smiled approvingly and said to her.

"It's a shame you don't do the torture."

Shen Nanqiao didn't care about his teasing and asked hurriedly.

"So what happened? What did the emperor say? What was the prince's attitude?"

Lin Jingshu has a fiery temper. If she finds out that she is being ambushed, she will most likely not let it go.

"The Crown Prince was indignant, and the Emperor and Empress were furious. They ordered a thorough investigation." Ning Su glanced at Shen Nanqiao meaningfully, "But nothing has been found yet."

Shen Nanqiao immediately felt something was wrong. Ning Su was responsible for the safety of the entire harem, which was obviously within his jurisdiction.

So if such a big thing had not been found out, he would definitely not be sitting here leisurely and chatting with me. I'm afraid he would have already gone to the Emperor Ming and be on standby at any time.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao smiled slowly.

"You know who started it, right?"

This is obviously nonsense. The only ones who had the motive to take action yesterday were the Ninth Princess and Shen Jingyi.

But these two people can't do it themselves, so the only candidate is Amber.

Ning Su must have guessed it a long time ago, but because of their master-servant relationship, he couldn't just send the person over.

This gesture of respect made Shen Nanqiao feel a little warm in his heart.

"I know, but I must ask for your opinion." Ning Su didn't beat around the bush with her, "What are your plans for this maid?"

Shen Nanqiao shrugged.

"I originally wanted to keep her as a spy, but since she is asking for trouble, I'll send her away to take the blame for her real master."

Before Shen Jingyi made this move, she was probably already prepared to break off the amber, but Shen Nanqiao didn't intend to let her get her way.

"Even if we can't dethrone the Ninth Princess, we can still give her a good bite. After all, the Queen Mother doesn't like a dog that keeps failing."

The Ninth Princess has already failed once, so she doesn't have many opportunities to show her abilities.

Ning Su shook his head slightly.

“Maybe we won’t be able to wait until then.”

Shen Nanqiao's eyebrows twitched, and he instinctively thought of the worst outcome.

"Could it be that the Queen Mother has already fallen out with the Emperor?"

Things turned out exactly as Shen Nanqiao expected.

When Emperor Ming learned from the imperial physician that Lin Jingshu had been given an inferior drug, he became furious.

The daughter of an important official came to the palace for a banquet, and something like this happened, which was simply a humiliation to the emperor.

So after the palace banquet, he went straight to the Cining Palace and his words were meant to find the Queen Mother to question her. The Queen Mother was not a pushover either, and she would not admit it unless she was caught.

According to Ning Su's spies, the mother and son have almost fallen out.

If it were before, the Queen Mother might have had some reservations.

But now that the Ninth Prince has led his troops back, she has enough confidence to fight back against Emperor Ming.

only……

Shen Nanqiao was still somewhat confused.

"It's impossible for the Tatar cavalry to come back with the Ninth Prince, right? Otherwise, they would have been discovered before they even reached ten miles from the capital."

Isn't that blatant rebellion? Neither the Ninth Prince nor the Queen Mother would be so stupid as to do this.

Ning Su smiled approvingly and teased the little girl on purpose.

"Just now I said you were suitable for torture, and now I think being a spy is not bad either."

Shen Nanqiao had no intention of chatting with him.

"Stop keeping us in suspense and just speak frankly."

She couldn't help but glance at Ning Su, as he was already in a critical situation and still had the heart to chat.

The effect of the medicine taken the day before had not yet worn off, and there was a certain involuntary charm in her eyes.

Ning Su felt a little awkward and quickly cleared his throat to hide the embarrassment at that moment.

"The spies of the Yanyun Guard discovered that although the Tartars did not attack in large numbers, more than a dozen elite teams followed. They were just marching cautiously and in a relatively scattered manner, and most of them were disguised as farmers and merchants."

Shen Nanqiao had never experienced a real war, so he became nervous when he heard this.

"More than a dozen, that's a lot of people in total! And they're elite. Does our Great Chu have enough troops to contend with them?"

Ning Su found it quite amusing to see her nervous.

"If not, what will you do? If you want to escape now, I can send someone to escort you out of the capital as soon as possible."

Shen Nanqiao didn't know which memory was triggered and his face suddenly darkened.

"I said we would live and die together. Do you mean you don't believe me when you say this?"

Ning Su didn't expect that she would get anxious after just one sentence. He immediately stopped joking and answered seriously.

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Queen Mother dare not rashly cooperate with the Tartars. That would be a crime that will be remembered with infamy for eternity."

Shen Nanqiao did not dare to take it lightly. Compared with the glory in front of him, the infamy after death was obviously not that scary.

"Marquis Pingyuan should not have given up lobbying the old ministers these days. It seems that the Queen Mother has made two preparations. I just don't know if the Emperor's quarrel with her yesterday will affect the direction of the entire situation."

Ning Su didn't seem to be in a hurry. He ordered his servants to come in and bring out the cold dishes to heat them up again.

Then he said again.

"The factory guards are not pushovers. Now that they have discovered the other party's backup plan, they will not just sit there and wait for death."

Shen Nanqiao was fed up with this kind of talk.

"What exactly is your plan? Can you please tell me everything at once so as to avoid being dragged out by a slow knife?"

Ning Su's lips curled up at her unconventional behavior.

"Weren't you polite to each other at first? Why did you turn hostile after sleeping with me?"

Shen Nanqiao's cheeks turned red, and just as she was about to fight back, she heard footsteps outside.

Her heart trembled, and then she heard Liuyun speak in a low voice outside.

"The palace sent a message, asking the governor to come to the palace immediately."

Ning lowered his voice.

"Didn't you say not to disturb us unless there's something urgent?"

Then I heard Liuyun's voice tinged with panic.

"The Emperor is suddenly critically ill."

Shen Nanqiao: There are dirty talks every day, but there are more today. As expected, too much joy leads to sorrow.
