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

Qi Yu had a blank expression on his face: "Mr. Gu's injuries are not fully recovered yet, and he might get injured again today..."

Emperor Yong threw the memorial at him and roared, "Then why don't you go quickly..."

Qi Yu paused, then bowed and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Emperor Yong suddenly said, "Order Deputy Chief Inspector Zhang Ping to conduct the interrogation overnight... I want to see the results tomorrow..."

Deputy Chief of the Black Dragon Guard: …

The boss is not here, let them interrogate...

What? They don't deserve a break!

Qi Yu was silent for a moment, bowed and took his leave.

........

The next morning, when it was bright, Zhong Ning woke up. Su Xin and others immediately carried all the toiletries and walked into the hall one by one.

While Zhong Ning was washing up, Su Xin carefully reported the casualties in the princess's mansion yesterday. Finally, she mentioned that Lord Qi returned again in the middle of the night.

Zhong Ning's face flushed slightly. She seemed to recall that when she was sleeping deeply, she seemed to be pulled into a strange and bizarre dream.

There were countless men in black rushing towards her with knives in their hands. With just one strike of her sword, she harvested countless lives.

Under the sky and earth, in the wasteland, there were broken limbs and debris everywhere. She was the only one who was still standing trembling with her seriously injured and exhausted body.

The sword held high was dripping with bright red blood, drop after drop, indicating that all those who wanted to kill her were killed by her sword.

Despite this, I still felt cold all over.

It was as if this world had never belonged to her. Gusts of strong wind came over her, trying to smash her to pieces.

Suddenly, she ran into a warm embrace and was held tightly in someone's arms, who took most of the strong wind for her. Only then did she get a break.

After a night of many dreams, I sank into darkness again.

Until daylight comes.

I guess Qi Yu ran to her bed as usual and slept with her in his arms all night.

This bastard who took advantage of the situation.

Zhong Ning cursed angrily, but he felt strange in his heart. Perhaps he was worried that he would be scared, so he ran here so shamelessly.

Who wants his comfort?

Pooh!

Su Xin looked at her princess's face, which was full of different expressions, sometimes red and sometimes white. She didn't know whether she was angry or reminiscing.

She carefully considered her words and whispered, "Last night, Master Gu came and seemed to see..."

what did you see?

Zhong Ning's eyelids twitched slightly. Oh, did you see Qi Yu carrying her back to the room?

"The imperial physician was called in this morning. He said that Master Gu's old injuries hadn't healed yet, and he had a new one. He was feeling depressed and even vomited blood this morning..."

Zhong Ning:........

She said that this palace banquet was not something that an injured person could attend.

Another assassination attempt happened last night, and Gu Mingzhe will definitely take action as well, which will add new injuries to the old ones.

"Go notify the Prime Minister's Mansion to come pick him up and tell them that the Princess's Mansion is in crisis and it's not suitable for the Young Master of the Gu family to recuperate..."

"As for Zhou Ge, I remember his academy has boarding facilities. Let him go back to the academy first and come back later."

"Young Master Zhou is easy to talk to, but Young Master Gu will probably not return home. Your Highness is isolated and helpless right now, so Young Master Gu will definitely not abandon Your Highness and leave without permission."

Su Xin carefully looked at Zhong Ning's expression, replied softly, and poured Zhong Ning another cup of tea.

Then he waved his hand slightly, and a table of exquisite breakfast was placed in order.

"Then let's go and tell him that Lord Qi stayed overnight in my room last night..." Zhong Ning said.

"Your Highness, why?" Su Xin was puzzled. Young Master Gu was already a confirmed prince consort, so why did she hurt his heart like this?

"You don't understand... Although I told him in advance that I would keep a concubine in the future, knowing and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things."

"Even if he saw it, he could still comfort himself that it was just an accident. But if he knew that Qi Yu stayed overnight in this palace, he would not be able to deceive himself anymore."

"If he really wants to marry me, he will have to face these things in the future. Now it's just an arranged marriage, not a wedding yet, so he still has room to maneuver."

"He can still go back and continue his carefree life. A nobleman like him shouldn't waste his time here in this palace."

As Zhong Ning spoke, she put on some simple makeup. Although it was makeup, it was just a light layer of pearl powder.

Then he washed his hands with a handkerchief, sat down at the red sandalwood table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Xin still said she didn't understand, but whatever His Highness said was what she believed.

Zhong Ning picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and said slowly:

"I had someone pass this message to him because I wanted him to go back and calm down. He seems to have feelings for me, but in my opinion, it's just because I saved him that he wants to repay me."

"The grace of saving my life should be repaid with my own body. This is what Gu Mingzhe truly thinks."

"The so-called "Pleasure to Me" is nothing more than an attempt to use my identity to resist Gu Xiang's absolute control over him."

"If, knowing that Qi Yu and I have a secret relationship, and that he might be laughed at by everyone for having a grassland on his head, he still decides to marry the princess, then I will have to overturn my own conclusion."

"If that's the case, then I was wrong, and I will apologize to him. If not, then I don't have to worry about ruining his life because of this."

Zhong Ning put the shrimp dumpling into his mouth, and the fresh, fragrant and sweet taste immediately filled his mouth. After finishing one, he picked up a crab soup dumpling and was about to taste it when Jingxin hurriedly came to announce: "Your Highness, Master Fang is here to visit!"

Fang Ping is here?

Zhong Ning was a little dazed, as if he hadn't come here privately for a long time.

Zhong Ning still remembered the last time at the palace banquet, when he looked over, Fang Ping's little face suddenly turned away.

It seems like he is sulking.

But even so, when Prince Cheng's Mansion attacked him, he took the initiative to stand up and defend himself.

What a twisted and strange man.

Well, isn’t it the same for me?

She wants it all. She likes Qi Yu and Gu Mingzhe. Although she says she won't force them, she is still a little worried.

Worried that they would blame him for this, he took the initiative to nip this tendency in the bud.

Instead of blaming each other in the future, it is better to end it now.

Forget it, don’t think about it for now.

"Go get another set of bowls and chopsticks." Zhong Ning said. If he hadn't had breakfast yet, it would be a good opportunity to have breakfast together.

Not long after, Fang Ping arrived as expected.

When he stepped into Qionghua Garden and saw Zhong Ning sitting quietly at the table, for some reason, he felt his nose slightly sore and almost shed tears.

He didn't know what was wrong with him.

When he woke up early in the morning, he heard his colleagues talking about the attack on the princess's mansion last night. He ignored everything and rushed over in his official robe.

Zhong Ning looked at him and suddenly smiled: "This is the first time I see you wearing official robes..."

Even at the last palace banquet, most people wore casual clothes.
