After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"It's okay," Duke Fuguo waved his hand. It was originally just a gamble. If it was a gamble, there would be winners and losers. If he dared to take the risk, he should be prepared to accept the loss.

Even if something went wrong with the soul-changing jade and the soul-changing was not successful.

Then he has nothing to lose!

He was still the Duke of Fuguo, who was above everyone else, enjoying wealth and honor.

"However, I need to think about how to present this jade to His Majesty and ensure that His Majesty wears it every day!" Duke Fuguo thought about this and then asked, "Do you still have the other piece of jade?"

Chen Yan suddenly felt guilty, "The other piece is in Ying'er's hand!"

"Idiot!" Duke Fuguo was so disappointed, "A mere woman could force you to this point. If anything happens again in the future, you must report it to your father!"

He really couldn't believe what his youngest son, who was so obsessed with love, could do for Fu Ying.

"Tonight, I will send secret guards to the Music Bureau to retrieve it! You will wait here. Tomorrow morning, come with me to the Princess's Mansion to confess your guilt!"

"Dad, this is not necessary!" Chen Yan said in panic. He didn't want to see the humiliating and arrogant face of that woman anymore.

When Duke Fuguo heard this, he immediately became furious.

He turned around and teased Chen Yan, who was looking at his unwilling face, again:

"If you don't ask the princess for forgiveness, His Majesty will target my entire Fuguo Mansion. Who do you think you are? You schemed against the princess, and you still think you can get away with it?"

Chen Yan covered his left cheek and remained silent.

When he thought about going to the princess's house tomorrow to admit his mistake and ask that woman for forgiveness, he felt a surge of humiliation in his heart!

If he was the crown prince of the dynasty, the heir apparent of a country, how could he be stepped on by a mere woman?

......

The next morning.

Zhong Ning was still sleeping in bed when he heard the door of the palace open. Su Xin hurried into the palace and reported, "Your Highness, please wake up! Something terrible has happened!"

Zhong Ning was displeased by Su Xin's gentle push on his heart. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard Su Xin anxiously say:

"It was Duke Fuguo. Duke Fuguo brought Chen Yan to the Princess's residence to admit his mistake. Now, Chen Yan is kneeling in front of the Princess's residence, claiming that he simply fell in love with Your Highness at first sight and wanted to win Your Highness's heart, which is why he acted so impulsively and set up a hero-saving-the-beauty scheme."

"I hope Your Highness will forgive him this time for the sake of his deep affection!"

"There's a lot of commotion outside right now. Many people have gathered here, waiting to see Your Highness's reaction."

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

When Zhong Ning heard this, he was suddenly startled.

Chen Yan?

Wasn’t he taken to the Kyoto government office?

The Duke of Fuguo's Mansion had such great authority that they actually dared to disregard her orders and secretly took people away from the Kyoto Prefecture's Heavenly Prison.

A trace of coldness flashed across Zhong Ning's face as she just woke up. She couldn't help feeling sick at the thought that the bastard would actually think of using this method to whitewash himself.

Because before she left, she suddenly dispatched the imperial guards for remote protection, which prevented that bastard's plan from coming true. Now, this is just a show for the palace.

When she returned yesterday, it was already mid-afternoon. In addition, the mansion was in chaos and she was also slightly injured, so she did not go into the palace. Instead, she sent someone to the palace to report the situation.

This led to the Duke Fuguo going to the palace to confess his guilt.

Now it seems that Emperor Yong should let Duke Fuguo bring his son to apologize to her first, so as to give Duke Fuguo's Mansion a way out. After all, it is an old noble family and an important mansion with military power.

Even if you make a mistake, you have to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Emperor Yong also had to give face to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion.

Now they have come to her house and are performing a show at her doorstep. If she doesn't respond, wouldn't it seem like she's afraid?

It's just acting, who can't do it?

"Suxin, get ready to put on makeup."

"Remember to make me look extremely weak and pale. I'm injured, and everyone in the world must know about it."

"Yes, I obey your command!" Su Xin thought for a moment and knew what her princess was going to do, and immediately smiled knowingly.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed smart!

"By the way, are those two imperial guards awake?" Zhong Ning put a wet handkerchief on his face to wake himself up.

Then she sat down in front of the dressing table and let Suxin dress her.

"They're awake. The imperial physician has checked on them. After last night's care, they're both fine. They just took the medicine and fell asleep again."

Zhong Ning felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still asked them to help him act out a play.

"Inform Jing Wuchang that the enemy has arrived. Have him carry the two seriously injured men on stretchers and leave with me later."

“Um…yes…”

"If this place is a little whiter, I won't need to use lip balm. Bring me some cinnabar. My head hurts a bit. I must be injured. Bring me some white cloth and wrap it around my head..."

Su Xin: ...................

......

At this time, in front of the princess's mansion.

A quarter of an hour had passed.

The gate was still tightly closed. There was no sign of the gate being opened to invite them in just because Duke Fuguo was here.

Duke Fuguo’s complexion grew darker and darker.

Chen Yan knelt with a pale face and was about to collapse.

There were voices of sympathy all around. After all, the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion had already admitted its mistakes, and Master Chen Yan had even knelt there for more than two quarters of an hour.

No matter what he did, he was able to do this, which shows that he was very sincere, right?

But no one from the princess's mansion has come out to express their opinion yet.

It's really too much of a lie.

Gu Mingzhe, Zhang Mingxuan and others also received the news that the Duke Fuguo's Mansion came to Princess Zhaohua's Mansion to apologize, and they rushed over immediately.

"Brother Chen, what did you do? Why did you do this?" Gu Mingzhe said.

For Duke Fuguo to come personally with his son to apologize, it must be a serious matter.

Zhang Mingxuan also said anxiously: "No matter what Brother Chen did, this Princess Zhaohua is really too much. Brother Chen has been kneeling for such a long time, and she has never shown up!"

Fang Ping also got the news and came here early in the morning. Seeing this scene, he really didn't know what had happened.

He wanted to defend Zhong Ning, but he didn't know where to start.

Zhang Wanting was also wearing a hat and hiding in the crowd.

When she heard that someone was causing trouble in front of the princess's mansion, she suddenly became anxious.

After all, this is her fellow villager and will be her financial backer in the future, so nothing must happen to him. Although she has not yet figured out how to exchange value and successfully get on his good side, this does not prevent her from worrying about the safety of her fellow villager.

Murong Xin also rushed over. He heard yesterday that Zhong Ning was assassinated and wanted to come and see what happened that night, but was persuaded to go back.

Now, the Duke of Fuguo came to the princess's mansion to apologize in person, but Sister Zhong still did not react at all. She is not a person who would be impolite. Is she so negligent now because she was seriously injured?

As she was thinking this, she saw the door of the princess's mansion suddenly opened.
