After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy
Chapter 229 Are you even jealous of women?
Ning Miao and Chi Feng returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Yan Mobai was not there and had gone to the Dali Temple.
Ning Miao did not dare to delay and prepared to go to the Dali Temple, but was persuaded by Chi Feng.
"I will go find you, sir. You can stay in Fuxue Garden. You are in poor health, so don't rush around."
Ning Miao wanted to say that she was fine, but thinking that she was relieved to have Chi Feng do the job, she let him go.
Back in the wing, she sat at the table and waited.
He casually opened the drawer of the table and took a look, and found a folded book inside.
Thinking back to last night, after she fell asleep, Yan Mobai was still writing under the lamp for a long time, probably writing this memorial.
Out of curiosity, she saw that Yan Mobai had casually put it in the drawer, and the drawer was not locked, so she thought it must not be something that could not be shown to her, so she opened it and took a look.
Seeing the familiar handwriting, her eyes narrowed slightly.
It was written by Yan Mobai to Emperor Zhaoqing.
[Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I can take over the position of Crown Prince, but I have a few requests, and I implore Your Majesty to approve them.
First, Ning Miao must be safe.
Second, the Crown Princess must be Ning Miao.
Third, I will not marry any other woman except Ning Miao.
Fourth, after Ning Miao gives birth to the baby and recovers, I would like to take her to travel around the beautiful scenery of Dazhao.
If Your Majesty agrees to the above four points, I will take over the position of Crown Prince and will be absolutely loyal to Your Majesty. 】
Ning Miao pursed his lips, closed the folder, put it back in place, and closed the drawer.
She was not surprised that Yan Mobai would choose the position of crown prince.
Because she also knew very well that what Emperor Zhaoqing said was right. Only by holding supreme power could she protect herself and those around her.
Having experienced the fight for the throne in two lifetimes, she knew very well that Emperor Zhaoqing was not exaggerating. Even if you have no intention of becoming emperor, the other princes will not let you go.
So, she guessed he would choose this.
After all, being alive is more important than freedom.
After all, protecting her from danger for the rest of her life is more important than accompanying her to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
If you keep trying to avoid being killed, you won't be able to truly enjoy the mountains and rivers freely.
Moreover, she had also thought about it. Even if becoming the crown prince would make enemies, at least his status was there and he held power. The princes would still be somewhat cautious in dealing with him.
If he were not the crown prince, the princes would not be friendly to him. He would also be their enemy, and the princes would kill him without any scruples.
It's not easy either way, so it's better to choose someone who is second to none and above everyone else.
She understands.
To her surprise, Yan Mobai made four requests, and all four of them were related to her.
-
Yan Mobai quickly brought Chifeng and Lanying back to Fuxue Garden.
Ning Miao then told him about Nie Huan's situation.
"Do you think Nie Huan will definitely be executed?"
Yan Mobai nodded: "Well, in principle, because the law says so."
In principle?
As soon as Ning Miao heard this, he knew that he must have a way.
"How can we save her, if not in principle?"
Whether as her good friend or as Yikong's niece, she must save Nie Huan.
Thinking of this, she was shocked: "The whole family should be executed, but distant relatives are not counted, otherwise, wouldn't my master also die? He is Nie Huan's distant uncle!"
Yan Mobai smiled.
"Your master cannot be killed even if the whole family is executed. But if the entire clan is implicated, he might be killed."
Ning Miao glared at him: "You still have the heart to laugh, do you have a way to save people?"
"Nie Huan is not a participant. I will go to the person in the palace who holds the power of life and death and says he feels very guilty towards me to plead for mercy. I think I can save her life." Yan Mobai said with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule.
Ning Miao: “…”
That's putting it lightly.
"Then don't you owe him a favor?"
"Then don't save him." Yan Mobai said.
Ning Miao sweated.
He quickly reached out and pushed him: "Then you still owe him a favor, go now."
"Aren't you afraid that he will use this as a threat to make me agree to become the crown prince?" Yan Mobai asked.
"Then be the crown prince." Ning Miao replied quickly.
Yan Mobai was a little surprised.
"It turns out that Nie Huan is your true love!"
Ning Miao was speechless.
"...You're even jealous of women?"
Yan Mobai smiled and raised his hand to pinch her face.
"Okay, saving Nie Huan is not a difficult task. Besides, she is not you. The emperor will not use her life to threaten me. Wait for my news."
Yan Mobai turned around and prepared to enter the palace.
Ning Miao reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Yan Mobai stopped and looked back.
Ning Miao looked at him.
"Haven't you already made your decision? Why don't you hand it over?"
Yan Mobai was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the table in the room, knowing that she must have seen the memorial in the drawer.
"There's no need to save Nie Huan," he said.
Ning Miao shook his head: "It's not to save Nie Huan."
Yan Mobai also looked at her.
"I have not decided yet."
"Because of me? Are you worried about me?" Ning Miao looked into his ink-black eyes.
He had clearly sat under the lamp for a long time last night, but there was not much content on the memorial, which showed that he had been thinking and struggling.
He did not bring the memorial to Emperor Zhaoqing during the court session today, which means he was still hesitating.
Each of the above conditions was related to her. She guessed that his consideration, entanglement and hesitation were probably because of her, because he was afraid that she would not want him to be the crown prince.
"Yan Mobai, I said that no matter what decision you make, I am willing. I really am willing, not insincerely. I am not just saying this with my mouth. In fact, I have a choice in my heart and hope that you will choose my choice. It's not like that."
"If you become the crown prince, I can just go back to my old job. I don't believe that the two of us can't deal with those princes who are no longer a threat."
"If you don't want to be the crown prince, I am willing to accompany you to travel the world with your sword. I also believe that with our martial arts skills, it will not be easy to take our lives."
Yan Mobai looked at her deeply, turned around, and gently embraced her in his arms.
He sighed, "I'm afraid of forcing you, and I'm also afraid of wronging you."
I’m even more afraid that I can’t protect you.
So, it's a dilemma.
Ning Miao patted his back gently.
"Go ahead. When you have power, change those unreasonable laws of Dazhao. Strict laws are a good thing, but it shouldn't be the case that entire families are executed and nine generations of a clan are implicated at every turn, causing a lot of innocent people to die in vain."
Yan Mobai: "......"
He was being affectionate with her.
She is serving the country and the people.
