The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

No wonder he was so arrogant, it turned out he had nothing to fear.

Ning Xuan and others were a little flustered.

"Ningquan, look, you have help."

"I'll spare your life today."

"But since you injured Third Brother, we will never let this matter go. Just wait."

Seeing that he couldn't get any advantage, Ning Xuan had no choice but to leave a harsh word and then left in embarrassment with everyone.

The injured Ning Jun was also carried away by his men.

Ning Quan did not chase after them.

Even if we catch up with them, what can we do to them?

Can we still kill them?

This is the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor.

Seeing the Sixth Prince and others leave, Li Wanyue also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she thought Ning Quan would definitely suffer a loss.

I didn’t expect that what Ning Quan said before was true. The two people beside him were really masters.

"Are you okay? You scared me to death."

Li Wanyue asked with concern.

"Don't worry, how could anything happen to me?"

"Didn't I tell you I have them?"

Ning Quan smiled and pointed at Lu Bu and the other two.

"Yeah, when you said they were seventh-grade just now, I didn't quite believe it, but now I do."

Li Wanyue smiled and nodded.

"Haha, as long as you believe it."

"Don't you think about it? If I can't protect your safety, how can I propose to you?"

"Then what have I become, a troublemaker?"

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Hmph! Glib!"

Li Wanyue's pretty face flushed red, and she gave Ning Quan a coquettish look.

"Haha."

Ning Quan laughed out loud a few times, not feeling ashamed but proud.

"By the way, you injured the Third Prince, will you be okay?"

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't pursue the matter, the Imperial Concubine probably won't let it go."

Li Wanyue asked worriedly.

"Haha, don't worry, His Majesty won't pursue it."

"As for the Imperial Concubine, when has she ever given up on me?"

"Hasn't she dealt with me enough times over the years?"

Ning Quan sneered.

"Well, that's true."

Hearing Ning Quan's words, Li Wanyue nodded.

Ning Quan was right. If we were to say who hated Ning Quan the most in the entire Daqian Dynasty, it would be Imperial Noble Consort Zhang Yuanhua.

The Imperial Concubine's hatred for Ning Quan was not without reason, it was mainly because of Ning Quan's mother.

When Ning Yuan's mother was alive, His Majesty only favored Ning Quan's mother and ignored the other concubines.

Even the imperial concubine is the same.

Unable to win favor, Zhang Guihua naturally held a grudge.

Unfortunately, Ning Quan's mother died early and he was unable to take revenge, so Zhang Yuanhua naturally transferred his hatred to Ning Quan.

He has been targeting Ning Quan for many years and even wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Ning Quan was not stupid either. He always avoided the important issues and tried not to conflict with her.

"Okay, let's not worry about her. Let her do whatever she wants. We'll be leaving Beijing soon anyway."

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Ning Quan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to pay attention.

"Well, go ahead and get busy. Be careful these few days."

Li Wanyue reminded.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Ning Quan smiled faintly.

After saying this, he took Lu Bu and Zhang Fei into the carriage.

"Let's go to the Ministry of War."

Ning Quan ordered.

"Yes!"

Lu Bu and the other two received the order and drove the carriage towards the Ministry of War.

……

At the same time, Ning Quan returned to the palace in a mess.

"Mother, you must make the decision for me."

Ning Xuan knelt in front of his mother, Zhang Guihua, and cried.

"What happened? Who beat you up like this?"

Zhang Yuanhua was surprised when he saw his son's miserable appearance.

"Woo woo, it's Ning Quan."

Ning Xuan answered crying.

"Ning Quan?"

"Huh, he's really brave."

"Tell me, what happened exactly? Why did he hit you?"

Zhang Yuanhua was immediately furious.

"Mother, I was mad at Li Wanyue for marrying him, so I went to argue with him, and he beat me up."

"If it weren't for Sixth Brother and the others, I would have probably lost my life."

"Mother, you must avenge me."

Ning Xuan narrated the whole process with some exaggeration.

"How dare you bully my son!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yuanhua became furious.

"Mother, you must help me teach Ning Quan a lesson."

"He's just a bastard, yet he dares to attack me, his son. He doesn't even take his mother seriously!"

Ning Jun continued to cry.

"Crack~"

The next moment, Ning Jun was slapped hard by Zhang Yuanhua.

"Mother, why are you hitting me?"

Covering his burning and painful cheek, Ning Jun said aggrievedly.

"You bastard, who are you calling a bastard?"

"If Ning Quan is a bastard, then what is Your Majesty?"

"Are you crazy? How dare you say such outrageous words?"

Zhang Yuanhua shouted.

"Mother, how can Ning Quan be compared with Father?"

"Father is the Supreme Ruler, that piece of trash is nothing to him."

Ning Jun defended himself.

"Shut up, say that again!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanhua was so angry that his whole body trembled.

She was really mad at this unfilial son. Why did she give birth to such a son?

It would be fine if he was just arrogant and domineering, but he is actually so stupid.

How dare you say such outrageous words casually?

"Mother, please calm down. I won't say anything more."

Seeing that his mother was really angry, Ning Jun immediately backed down.

"Remember, if you dare to say such things again, I will no longer have you as my son."

"Now...get back here right now."

Zhang Yuanhua said, suppressing his anger.

"My son, I obey!"

Ning Jun quickly retreated.

"Zhao Ruoxi, I couldn't defeat you in life, and your ghost still lingers after death."

"Well, in that case, I will send your son to be buried with you!"

After Ning Jun left, Zhang Yuanhua said sinisterly.

"Get up, I want to see His Majesty."

After a moment, Zhang Yuanhua gave the order.

"Yes!"

The eunuch immediately obeyed the order.

Soon, Zhang Yuanhua arrived at the Golden Palace in a sedan chair.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

After entering the Golden Palace, Zhang Yuanhua respectfully saluted Ning Yuanwu.

"Oh? My beloved is here."

"Come... come closer and talk."

Seeing Zhang Yuanhua coming, Ning Yuanwu greeted him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yuanhua bowed and came to Ning Yuanwu.

"I heard that the Third, Sixth, and Eighth Brothers had a conflict with the Ninth Brother today! And they suffered losses. Is this why you came here?"

Ning Yuanwu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, and this is exactly why I came here."

"There's nothing wrong with a few princes fighting, but Ning Quan was really too harsh, beating Xuan'er to the point of vomiting blood. Isn't that a bit excessive?"

"I believe that severe punishment is necessary."

Zhang Yuanhua said indignantly.

"Really? He was beaten until he vomited blood?"

"It seems the hatred is not light."

"So...what was the reason for their conflict?"

Ning Yuanwu continued to ask, with no expression on his face.

"This……"

Ning Yuanwu's calmness made Zhang Yuanhua feel a little uneasy.
