Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Nanqiao subconsciously prepared to run towards the source of the sound, but was pulled back by someone.

She looked back at him, puzzled.

"Don't you want to go and take a look? If I remember correctly, the safety of the palace is also the responsibility of the factory guards, right?"

Besides, he was the one who welcomed the Ninth Princess back today. If anything happened to her, it would be difficult to explain to the Emperor, especially since her husband was still fighting on the border!

Ning Su chuckled and looked at her leisurely.

"Even if there really is an assassin, what can you do if you go there? Can you give them another hostage?"

This question stunned Shen Nanqiao.

Indeed, she can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands, and she would only make things messy if she went.

"Then forget it. You don't plan to go and take a look?"

Ning Su supported her and carefully walked around the dirty water on the ground.

"If it's really an assassin, the factory guards ambushing in the palace can deal with it. One more or one less of me will make no difference." He then raised his eyes to look at Shen Nanqiao's delicate little face, and said meaningfully, "If it's not an assassin, it would be even more useless for me to go."

Shen Nanqiao vaguely heard the hidden meaning in the words, so he also slowed down his pace.

When the two of them walked slowly to the source of the sound, they found the sedan chair lying on one side.

The person in charge of carrying the sedan chair was kneeling on the ground. The Ninth Princess's dress was stained with dirt and she looked in a miserable state.

Seeing the two of them coming, he barely stood up with the help of the sedan chair.

"What happened?" Ning Su asked with a serious face, without even glancing at the Ninth Princess.

"I deserve to die. I slipped and fell. I cannot atone for my sins even if I die."

The palace servants who carried the sedan chair kowtowed like crazy.

"It's windy and the snow is slippery, so it's okay to stumble for a while. It's okay."

The Ninth Princess was still as gentle as ever, but she was a little less calm than she was just now at the corner gate. However, her frail appearance made her look even more delicate.

Shen Nanqiao frowned.

The palace servants in charge of carrying the sedan chair were all veterans who had experienced wind, frost, rain and snow.

It's just falling snow, not melting, so how could I slip so easily?

Ning Su's expression remained calm as he spoke.

"After sending the Ninth Princess to the Cining Palace, go and get the board yourself."

Being able to save their lives under the hands of Governor Ning was already a blessing in disguise. The two men kowtowed in thanks and waited for the Ninth Princess to get into the sedan chair again.

The Ninth Princess seemed to have not expected that Ning Su would actually pick it up high and put it down gently. She bit her lower lip and smiled.

"Just turn the corner here and you will reach the Cining Palace. I can just walk there by myself."

Shen Nanqiao handed over the extra umbrella in his hand without saying a word.

"We're going to share one anyway, so give this one to the princess."

The Ninth Princess's perfect facial expression cracked for a moment, but she quickly reacted and took the umbrella.

"Then...thank you for your kindness, ma'am."

The Ninth Princess held an umbrella and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Shen Nanqiao sneered in her heart. What else did she want? Could she expect to share an umbrella with Ning Su?

I'm really going crazy.

Ning Su stepped forward to check if the sedan had been tampered with. Shen Nanqiao took the opportunity to squat on the ground, pretending to clean the snow off his shoes, while looking carefully at the ground.

as predicted.

Shen Nanqiao carefully picked up the bead hidden in the snow and put it into his purse when no one was paying attention.

After turning the corner, they could see the gate of the Cining Palace. Ning Su took her through a shortcut and went directly into the east courtyard.

When the people standing guard in front of the hall saw him coming, they all bowed respectfully.

"I can only take you here. I still have to report to the Emperor."

Immediately, the senior palace maid who served the Empress Dowager came up and opened the curtain.

"The Queen Mother has been waiting for Madam Changchen for quite some time, and is so eager to see you."

This was just routine polite talk, and Shen Nanqiao was certainly not stupid enough to take it seriously, but she still gave the senior palace maid a polite smile.

"Thank you sister."

The senior palace maid was dumbfounded and quickly waved her hands.

"But I am not worthy of being called Madam. You can just call me Honeysuckle."

Shen Nanqiao nodded slightly and was about to follow Rendong in when he saw a half-grown boy rushing out from the side hall, hurrying along.

Is the prince.

Prince Qin Lang walked over in two or three steps, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"Why are you here just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Then he looked up and saw Ning Su still standing at the bottom of the stairs. His face immediately fell, "My dear companion is here too."

Ning Su raised his eyebrows.

"The prince seems to not want to see me?"

The prince was stunned and hurried to explain.

"I didn't mean that. You misunderstood." He glanced at Shen Nanqiao and his voice was obviously lower. "It was you who asked me to take better care of Madam in the palace in the future. I thought that today was a rare opportunity..."

Shen Nanqiao looked back at Ning Su in surprise. He actually asked the prince for a favor for him.

Ning Suchong bowed to the prince.

"I will now report to the Emperor. I will leave my wife in the care of the Crown Prince today."

The little prince's just depressed expression immediately perked up again and he patted his chest to make a promise.

"Don't worry, I promise to bring it back to you intact."

Ning Su left, and the prince took Shen Nanqiao to the East Warm Pavilion where the Queen Mother was.

"Don't be nervous. Today I'm mainly catching up with Aunt Nine. At most, I'll ask a few questions about the selection of the Crown Princess. Then I can push it to you."

Shen Nanqiao smiled. Although she knew that he was entrusted by someone else, she was still moved by the prince's dedication.

"It's okay, I can handle it."

"It will take a lot of effort for you to deal with it yourself. If you push it onto me, the Queen Mother won't be in any trouble." The prince glanced at her and said, "We are about the same age. From now on, we can address each other as you in private."

This clearly shows that he treats Shen Nanqiao as his own.

Shen Nanqiao nodded slightly, but before he could reply, he heard the prince's further instructions.

"If the Queen Mother talks about trivial matters, you don't have to take it to heart."

"Are you talking about what happened between the Ninth Princess and the Factory Minister?"

The prince's eyes widened and Shen Nanqiao cleared his throat.

"I already knew it, so I won't believe it."

The prince nodded in agreement.

After all, he is a great friend and knows how to take precautions before things go wrong.

Talking all the way, he stepped into the East Warm Pavilion.

The Queen Mother was chatting with the Ninth Princess about daily life. When she saw the two of them come in, she smiled coldly.

"It must be Madam Pingyang who has the honor to trouble the Crown Prince to go out and greet him personally."

The prince stuck out his tongue playfully, revealing the cunning that befits a man of his age.

"In terms of seniority, Daban is my master, so it is only right that he should be more respectful to his master's wife."

The Queen Mother had always been very kind to the little prince. After all, he was the one she wanted to win over. But she didn't want to end the topic right away, so she looked at the Ninth Princess and said meaningfully.

"It's fate, if not for all the mishaps back then, the prince's mistress would have been someone else."
