Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 48 Protect You As Long As I Live

Just because of this remark, the little prince begged and pleaded but was not accepted to stay for dinner.

Ning Su insisted on asking Liuyun to send the person back to the palace.

Shen Nanqiao still felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was a guest, so she showed her hostliness and tried to make amends.

"I will make some cakes myself and send them to the palace some other day."

Having said this, the prince paused and then refused.

"It's better not to send food to the palace. I'm not in good health. If anything goes wrong, you'll be blamed for it."

At that moment, Shen Nanqiao could empathize with him. She was also so cautious when she was enduring the last days of her previous life.

Unfortunately it was too late.

The prince had this experience at a young age. This is the helplessness of being in an imperial family.

Because he could empathize with the prince, when he was sending him to the carriage, Shen Nanqiao asked him indirectly: What kind of princess do you want?

The little prince leaned against the carriage window, pondering over and over again.

"I think you can be of the same mind as me."

This answer was unexpected, and Shen Nanqiao was slightly shocked, but then he understood the hidden meaning.

The harem is like a battlefield. If even the person beside you is not on the same page with you, then life will be much more difficult.

She nodded solemnly.

"I will do my best to make the prince achieve his wish."

Ning Su stood by, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Logically speaking, it would be a great help for Fantuanzi if she accepted the task readily.

Emperor Ming had no intention of suppressing this news, and with the Crown Prince coming in person today, her value would only rise.

To put it another way, even if Pingyuan Hou and the Shen family wanted to touch her again, they would have to think twice.

But somehow, watching her calmly deal with various unexpected events, he felt worried that this treasure might be discovered by others.

Just as he was thinking about it, a pair of hands came into his arms.

"It's not convenient to talk about it in front of the prince just now. Can I tell you my plan?"

There was an obvious intimacy in these words. Ning Su was pleased by this informal attitude and asked instead of answering.

"Are you feeling relieved today?"

Shen Nanqiao was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was talking about caning Shen Jingyi and Ning Ziyu.

The wind blew the fine snow, and the moment it fell on my skin and melted, I felt bone-chillingly cold.

But Shen Nanqiao felt warmth rising from his heart.

She plucked up her courage and reached out to brush off the snowflakes on his face. This was the first time she touched his face openly.

I just feel that it feels better than I imagined.

"Actually, you don't have to stand up for me." She took advantage of Ning Su's moment of surprise and withdrew her hand, "I said I can handle it, you have to believe me."

Ning Su's breathing was disordered for a moment because of her sudden intimate action.

"I said it on the wedding day. Since you're marrying me, it's my responsibility to take care of you."

Shen Nanqiao felt a fleeting sense of loss. Was it just responsibility?

But she quickly cheered up and thought that being able to take care of it for a lifetime was also a good choice.

She has never been a clingy girl. This thought flashed through her mind the moment before, and the next moment she reached out and grabbed Ning Su's sleeve.

"I have a question."

The weather became increasingly cold in the evening. The north wind blew the fox fur on his collar, and Ning Su became a little nervous for no reason.

But he still tried to remain calm on the surface, wanting to see what outrageous questions this girl who grew up in a secluded place could ask.

"What do you want to ask?"

Shen Nanqiao stared at his eyes intently.

"I heard that Jiu Qian Sui had a girl he was planning to marry in his early years. Is that true?"

Ning Su's heart tightened at the words "Nine Thousand Years Old", which was a nickname given to him by people in the market.

"Where did you hear that?"

Shen Nanqiao chuckled.

"Don't ask that. There is no smoke without fire. Just answer it. Yes or no."

This question had been weighing on her mind ever since she came out of the Cining Palace that day, and she only had the courage to ask it today.

Ning Su remained silent upon hearing this, and spoke in a low voice after a long while.

"It's just old news, not worth mentioning."

This is what it means.

I originally thought that Shen Nanqiao would not give in. After all, given her current status and position, she is qualified to make a fuss.

But she didn't say anything, she just loosened Ning Su's sleeves that had been twisted into a knot.

"I don't mean to bring up the past. I just want to know. If you say you will protect me, can you do it for the rest of my life?"

Ning Su was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at her.

The little girl was still wearing his cloak, standing there quietly, asking him word by word about the rest of her life.

I am so used to living on the edge of a knife that many times I don’t even want to think about tomorrow.

But she thought about her whole life, and a whole life with him.

The hard-hearted factory official smiled for once.

"As long as I live."

Shen Nanqiao felt a subtle feeling in his heart. Although he knew that he was most likely doing this out of morality and responsibility, he still couldn't hide his secret excitement.

He promised her a lifetime.

The little girl tended to act cute when she was happy, and she put her arm around him again.

"Don't they all call you Nine Thousand Years Old? Naturally you can live for a thousand years."

That serious look made Ning Su unable to help but tease her.

"Evil only lives for a thousand years."

Unexpectedly, she turned her head and replied with a serious face.

"Then I will be a disaster with you."

Ning Su was slightly moved. Because of his status, he never dared to trust anyone recklessly over the years.

Even the emperor and the prince have to be cautious.

But the girl in front of him said shamelessly that she wanted to sink with him, and this promise that sounded unreliable unexpectedly aroused him.

"Even if I am condemned by thousands of people?"

Ning Su didn't want to admit that after he asked the question, he actually felt a little bit of anticipation.

Shen Nanqiao smiled.

In her previous life, she was burdened with too many rules of etiquette and morality, which was why she was crushed.

"Just do what you want, don't ask right or wrong."

The sense of urgency brought about by the near-confession swept over Ning Su again, but this time he did not feel like running away.

He put his hands on Shen Nanqiao's shoulders.

I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

"Master, Minister Shen wishes to see Madam."

"Let him go." Ning Su said concisely.

But Aunt Liu, who came to deliver the message, showed unusual hesitation.

"But he was kneeling at the door of Songchang Pavilion."
