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

As Zhong Ning approached step by step, Concubine Yao became more and more panicked. She clung to the dragon bed tightly, and her hand involuntarily grabbed Emperor Yong's hand, crying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up..."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction Zhong Ning was coming from.

She hoped that Zhong Ning would let her go this time for Emperor Yong's sake.

She just said a few extra words, but she didn't expect that the servants guarding outside the palace would let Princess Zhaohua into the palace without informing them.

This group of slaves is really hateful!

Zhong Ning looked at Concubine Yao who was trembling in panic, and his expression became even colder.

Now I know I'm afraid.

Weren’t you quite talkative just now?

Zhong Ning slightly hooked his index finger, and his powerful internal force instantly gushed out, directly sucking Concubine Yao over through the air.

Zhong Ning held Lady Yao's slender, white, and tender neck in his hand, as if he could break it with a slight twist.

Sensing the expressionless yet genuine bloodlust in the man before her from a close distance, Concubine Yao shuddered, her body trembling as she begged for mercy:

"Princess, please spare me! I was just talking nonsense. I shouldn't have said anything unjustly about you...Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me!"

"She is so charming and I feel pity for her. Concubine Yao is truly a rare beauty. No wonder my father likes her so much!" Zhong Ning applied a little force with his fingertips, and Concubine Yao's face turned pale and she had difficulty breathing.

"It's a pity that you have such impure hearts that you dare to speak ill of me behind my back...and to sow discord between me and my younger brother. Tell me, how should I deal with you?"

Zhong Ning's voice was so cold that Concubine Wu, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but take two steps back.

Although she had heard about Princess Zhaohua's life in the previous dynasty, she had never seen her in person. Now that she was like this, she felt a little worried...

The Second Prince, Murong Yun, said cautiously, "Royal sister, please calm down. Concubine Yao is, after all, our father's concubine... and our stepmother..."

Prince Cheng intends to cause chaos, so it's okay to kill him.

But Concubine Yao is a member of the harem and is older than the imperial sister in terms of seniority. If the imperial sister takes action in the palace, it will probably cause criticism.

Zhong Ning threw Concubine Yao out violently, and she landed on a basin stand not far away. Concubine Yao groaned, covered her neck with one hand and her lower back with the other, and took deep breaths of fresh air...

Just now, she almost thought she was going to die.

Princess Zhaohua, how hateful!

As she thought this in her heart, it showed on her face. She stared at Zhong Ning with resentment and hatred.

"Yun'er, you are the regent now. How do you think we should deal with such troublemakers?" Zhong Ning turned towards Murong Yun and asked calmly.

"My sister is now acting as regent for the Emperor, assisting me in governing the country. Yao's offense against my sister is a disregard for His Majesty and an offense against His Majesty. She should be stripped of her noble status, demoted to a commoner, and banished to the cold palace..."

Under the guidance of his mother, Murong Yun replied faithfully.

"Well, let's do it!" Zhong Ning nodded slightly, then walked towards the dragon bed to check on Emperor Yong's condition.

Concubine Wu shouted softly: "Come here, Concubine Yao is disrespectful to the princess. She must be stripped of her honorific title and banished to the cold palace..."

Upon hearing this, the two young eunuchs immediately dragged Concubine Yao, who was lying on the ground, out.

"There was trouble in the court today. Some villain instigated it last night. Let's investigate carefully to find out who is behind her and how he has even extended his hands into the harem?" Zhong Ning said to Murong Yun with a cold expression.

Murong Yun nodded slightly. After all, what the imperial sister said made sense!

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely have someone investigate thoroughly!" Murong Yun replied.

"Well, it's not just her. We should also clear out the entire palace, especially Prince Cheng, the Queen Mother, and the Duke of Fu. I guess they all have backup plans in the palace."

"What the royal sister said makes sense, Su Qi!" Murong Yun said loudly. On the other side of the palace, Su Qi was hidden in the dark like a wooden stake. His task was not to participate in any decision and not to express any opinions.

Just keep an eye on everything in the palace for Your Majesty.

At this time, Su Qi heard Murong Yun calling him and immediately walked out.

"Your Highness! I'm here!" Su Qi bowed slightly, his face full of obedience.

"Check the palace carefully. During the period when father is seriously ill, the palace must be kept quiet!" Murong Yun knew that Su Qi was the chief steward in charge of the inner palace.

If you want to investigate the inner palace, you must rely on his help.

What's more, my father is just unconscious, not dead.

Being in this position, he should be extremely careful.

Su Qi took the order and left. Zhong Ning sat down beside the dragon bed and carefully observed Emperor Yong's face. Although he looked a little pale, he was not lifeless.

As to why he fell into a coma, there is still no conclusion.

The imperial physician's diagnosis was simply that he suddenly fell into a coma, and the specific cause was unknown.

Concubine Wu carefully observed Zhong Ning's expression, then tentatively said, "Zhaohua, please stay with your father. The imperial physician said he is conscious, but we don't know when he will truly wake up..."

"Imperial sister...I will take my leave now...I hope you will take care of the court affairs!" Murong Yun also bowed respectfully.

Zhong Ning frowned slightly, "You are the regent, why don't you bother?"

Murong Yun:.......

He is still young and not as prestigious as his elder sister. He also does not want to have many disagreements with his elder sister on court affairs, so he took the initiative to step back.

Why does the imperial sister seem dissatisfied?

Before he came of age, he just wanted to stay hidden in the court, preserve himself, and develop secretly... His uncle and mother told him this. After all, the imperial sister was ruthless. What if he angered her and she killed him?

She even dared to kill Uncle Cheng!

Moreover, the leader of the Black Dragon Guard, Si Qiyu, is obviously the emperor's sister's man.

The imperial guards also obey the orders of the imperial sister!

How could he, a mere prince, dare to compete with her?

I just hope she doesn't take her anger out on me.

Murong Yun was frightened by Zhong Ning's thundering methods. When Zhong Ning frowned slightly, his face turned pale with fright.

Zhong Ning also realized that the child was still young and overprotected, so he couldn't help but feel frightened when he suddenly saw her use such tough measures.

She was silent for a moment, then waved her hand slightly, asking Murong Yun to come to her side. Concubine Wu looked at everything in front of her with some worry, and was even prepared to step forward and take back her son if Princess Zhaohua made trouble.

Murong Yun hesitated for a long time before he slowly stepped forward and walked not far from Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning sighed, and gently stroked Murong Yun's little head with her small hand. She sighed and said, "Imperial Sister knows that you are still young, and it is inevitable that you are nervous about temporarily taking over such an important task at court..."

"I'll help you keep an eye on the situation for now, and you can just learn slowly... Once Father's condition improves, he can handle the affairs of state."

"If he doesn't wake up, you have to grow up as quickly as possible. Dayong still has a lot of things to do, and you must work harder!"

Murong Yun was slightly stunned: "Royal sister..."

"Calling you Imperial Sister is useless. I have already arranged a series of courses for you to learn how to become the Crown Prince."
