Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 72: Speak to the Madam, and Keep Silent to the Wife

The Queen Mother was not expecting that Shen Nanqiao was well prepared, which was a bit surprising.

She softened her tone slightly.

"You have a heart."

Shen Nanqiao still had a neither humble nor arrogant expression.

"I dare to say that marriage is a lifelong event. Although it is decided by parents and matchmakers, the final decision still needs to be made by the prince himself." She glanced meaningfully at the prince standing beside her, "After all, I will be with him day and night for the rest of my life."

The Queen Mother paused. There was indeed nothing wrong with what she said, but she couldn't really do it.

"The prince is still young, I'm afraid he doesn't have any idea about this kind of thing?"

The prince didn't know how to respond at this moment.

When he says he has ideas, it seems like he doesn't do his job properly and only thinks about these things.

But if he said he had no idea, he would be giving up the opportunity to be chosen as the Crown Princess.

Shen Nanqiao was just about to help out when he heard the prince say.

"Didn't Madam Ning say that everything has its destiny? Perhaps my marriage with the future Crown Princess is also destined by heaven. There's no need to bother choosing."

The Queen Mother smiled when she heard this. After all, she was still a child, and her words were childish.

She was relieved now and raised her hand to let Shen Nanqiao leave.

The prince made an excuse to return to the palace and followed them.

Seeing the two figures leaving the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother turned around and asked the Ninth Princess.

"How true do you think her list is?"

The Ninth Princess slowly handed the tea, which had taken two infusions to turn colorful, to the Queen Mother.

"I think it's half true and half false." She glanced at Shen Nanqiao who had already walked away, "That Miss Zhou is a cover. Miss Sun may be trying to please you. Her real target is probably Miss Lin."

A malicious smile slowly broke out on the Queen Mother's face, and she gently stroked the gold bracelet on her wrist.

"In that case, I must teach her a lesson and let her know that old people are still wise."

The Ninth Princess remained silent.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly.

"Why? You think it's wrong?"

The Ninth Princess smiled faintly and gently placed the cup of tea in her hand on the tea tray beside her.

"If the tea doesn't taste right, just pour it out and have another cup. Why bother with the original cup?" She pushed the tea tray aside. "If you were more decisive, you could have taken the tea tray as well."

The Queen Mother shifted her gaze from the tea tray to the Ninth Princess's face, and after a long while she nodded slightly.

"What you said makes sense. Since it's already an endgame, there's no need to worry about giving up pieces. Just throw the entire chessboard away and start over."

These words reached Ning Su's ears in less than half an hour.

Emperor Ming gritted his teeth and sneered.

"The Queen Mother is increasingly looking down on me. Madam Pingyang was chosen by me to be the Crown Prince's concubine, yet she is so arrogant!" Emperor Ming's eyes were unusually bright due to his anger. "Abandoned child? Is she talking about me?"

Ning Su sat down on the bed beside Emperor Ming slowly.

"The Queen Mother entered the palace at the age of sixteen. Now that half of her life has passed, she has almost achieved her glory."

Emperor Ming glanced sideways.

"You mean, now is the time to uproot her?" When it came to the point of real fighting, Emperor Ming hesitated a little, "The cabinet is not completely on the same page with us, and there are many old members of the Sun family. Once we take action, it will be difficult to save them. Are you absolutely sure?"

Ning Su seemed to have anticipated Emperor Ming's hesitation. An imperceptible arc of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his lips, and he tilted his head to continue the conversation.

"All the garrisons in the suburbs only obey the orders of the emperor. In addition, the Jinyiwei of the East Factory under my command controls all the intelligence and garrisons in the capital. Unless the queen mother can mobilize all the princes, if we fight with the current forces, we have a great chance of winning."

Emperor Ming nodded slowly.

"The only prince who has military power is Lao Jiu. Most of the others are private soldiers raised on their own land. Their numbers are limited and they are not to be feared." He snorted. "So I brought Lao Jiu's family to the capital this time to control them."

Ning Su's expression remained calm.

"What if the Ninth Prince does not accept this threat?"

Emperor Ming was a little hesitant.

"Then the factory guards must find a way to prevent this letter from reaching the fiefdom."

This is probably just a foolish dream, not to mention that there is no wall that is completely airtight.

It is common sense that after the war, the Ninth Prince will also go to Beijing to report on his work.

Ning Su sighed in his heart, thinking that Emperor Ming's ideas were too simple after all.

He thought that he had caught the Ninth Princess, but he did not expect that this might be an opportunity for the Ninth Prince and his wife to collude with the insiders and outsiders.

However, Ning Su did not point it out, but just gave a subtle hint.

"The Duke of Zhenguo will also be coming back from Datong this year, one is to report on his work, and the other is to look for a marriage partner for the girl in his family."

Emperor Ming's eyes lit up.

"Yes, why didn't I think of him! He is the one left by our father. If we really fight the Queen Mother, he will definitely stand on our side."

The Duke of Zhenguo holds the military power!

This news immediately gave Emperor Ming a backbone, and he looked at Ning Su with approval.

"You're still quick-witted."

A faint smile appeared on Ning Su's face.

"It was Madam Weichen who reminded me."

Emperor Ming glanced at him with disdain. In the past, he thought that the factory officials were not very popular, but recently he discovered that they were too popular.

She always talks about her wife, which makes even the lonely emperor envious.

"Okay, once this matter is settled, I will think of a way to reward your wife."

Shen Nanqiao had no idea that she was going to be rewarded again. After leaving the Cining Palace, she felt that she needed to explain the matter of the Queen to the Crown Prince. But just as she was about to open her mouth, she was interrupted.

"Don't worry about it. In the eyes of the Queen Mother, your mother is just a hopeless person. The fact that she assigned you to organize the banquet has nothing to do with you."

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but think of that day in the Cining Palace. The Queen's words of provocation were indeed not very clever, but why did she do that?

"It's not reasonable for me to go beyond the Queen's path." She glanced at the sky. "If someone else tells this story, I don't know how it will be interpreted. I have to go to Kunning Palace in person."

Unexpectedly, with just this sentence, the prince's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Shen Nanqiao's sleeve in an unruly manner.

"It's better not to."

Shen Nanqiao: Those who know me think I'm going to find your mother, while those who don't think I'm going to be your mother. Is it that serious? Are you so nervous?
