Chapter 321 The most poisonous woman’s heart
"Um."
"I'm glad you're back. Are you all okay?"
Li Junchen looked at Ning Quan and Li Taiheng with concern.
“We’re fine.”
Li Taiheng shook his head and said.
Ning Quan also smiled and nodded.
"Hey, I never thought that I would have this day. I am really a man of destiny."
Then, Li Junchen sighed heavily.
It is really sad that the prime minister of the current dynasty has fallen to such a state.
"Father-in-law, this matter is still my fault."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered such a disaster."
Ning Quan said ashamedly.
"Hey, we're all family, why are you saying this?"
"Never mind. I've finally come to terms with my mistakes. I'll just enjoy my life from now on."
Li Junchen waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing this, Ning Quan and others nodded repeatedly.
"Father-in-law, we can't stay here for long. Let's get on the road quickly."
"You go first, and then let Wanyue come back to pick us up." Ning Quan continued.
"it is good."
"Then be careful, we're leaving first."
Li Junchen gave some instructions and then got on the three-wheeled motorcycle.
Lin also got on the flying car.
Soon, the three-wheeled motorcycle and the flying car took off into the air.
Looking at the gradually disappearing car taillights, Ning Quan and Li Taiheng looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's just wait here. Wanyue won't be back to pick us up until tomorrow night."
Ning Quan looked at the sky in the distance and spoke.
"Okay, then we'll get in the car and wait."
Li Taiheng nodded.
Then, the two returned to the armored vehicle.
...........
At the same time, inside the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up!"
"His Majesty......"
The ministers, Concubine Zhang, and several concubines surrounded the bed and called out softly.
But Ning Yuanwu was still unconscious on the bed.
"Doctor, what's the matter with your Majesty?"
Concubine Zhang said anxiously.
"Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, the reason His Majesty fainted was due to a surge of Qi and blood attacking the heart."
The imperial physician replied quickly.
"Of course I know it's the Qi and blood attacking the heart. I'm asking you, when will His Majesty wake up?"
Concubine Zhang said coldly.
"I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The imperial physician was startled and immediately knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless people, why don't you just think of a solution?"
Concubine Zhang roared angrily.
"promise."
Several imperial doctors immediately left the palace as if they had been pardoned.
"Okay, you all go down too."
"Making a commotion here disturbs His Majesty's rest."
Then Concubine Zhang waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
"I'm waiting to retire."
All the ministers and concubines bowed and then left.
After a while, only Concubine Zhang and General Zhang Shijie were left in the room.
"Brother, what do you think will happen if His Majesty doesn't wake up?"
Looking at Ning Yuanwu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Concubine Zhang's face was full of complicated expressions.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you will definitely wake up."
Zhang Shijie said.
“What if he really can’t wake up?”
"Brother, if that's the case, would you be willing to help me?"
Concubine Zhang stared at Zhang Shijie and spoke word by word.
“You, what are you going to do?”
"Don't forget, Xuan'er is gone."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shijie's face changed suddenly.
"Brother, Xuan'er is gone, but I still have Hong'er. Even though he's still young, who says he can't inherit the throne? Besides, you and I can assist him."
Concubine Zhang looked at Zhang Shijie with burning eyes.
Hearing this, Zhang Shijie was shocked.
He knew that his sister was still ambitious.
My sister originally only had one son, the third prince Ning Jun. She had always wanted Ning Jun to succeed to the throne, and she had also made plans for this.
But Ning Jun was unexpectedly killed in Malacca, and his sister's hopes were dashed.
But later, perhaps because she was unwilling to give up, she gave birth to another son and named him Ning Hong.
The child is now one year old and has just learned to crawl.
She actually wanted to support such a young child to take the throne.
This shocked Zhang Shijie very much.
"Sister, Hong'er is only one year old."
"Besides, the Crown Prince is now fully grown and has a strong foundation. Even if you want Hong'er to inherit the throne, it is impossible."
Zhang Shijie began to persuade.
"Of course I know Hong'er is still young, and I know the Crown Prince is still immature, but as long as we brothers and sisters work together, there is still a chance, right?"
"According to the imperial physician, His Majesty is dying, and the Crown Prince is far away in Nanyang, and you are in charge of the Imperial Guards."
"Brother, Hong'er is my son. As long as Hong'er takes the throne, you will be a true royal relative. No one can take away this power."
"But if the prince takes the throne, you and I will become meat on the chopping board, and can only be slaughtered at will!"
Concubine Zhang looked at Zhang Shijie and said in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Zhang Shijie fell silent.
He knew his sister was right.
"Brother, please help me."
Seeing Zhang Shijie hesitant, Concubine Zhang grabbed Zhang Shijie's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Ugh!"
"Okay! Then let's give it a try."
With a sigh, Zhang Shijie finally nodded in agreement.
"Great."
Seeing that Zhang Shijie agreed, Concubine Zhang was ecstatic.
"I will prepare it, but don't be too happy too soon. The prince will receive the news soon and will rush back to the capital."
"If His Majesty hasn't done so before then... then this matter can only be dropped, and you can only accept your fate."
Zhang Shijie glanced at Ning Yuanwu on the dragon couch and said in a deep voice.
“Yeah, I understand.”
Concubine Zhang nodded obediently, but a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.
..........
Nanyang.
Ning Gao has been stationed here for more than half a month after withdrawing his troops.
His memorial had already been submitted to the capital, and the next course of action depended on his father's wishes.
However, half a month had passed since the memorial was sent, and Ning Gao still had not received his father's order, which made him very worried.
"Could something have happened to Father?"
Thinking of this, Ning Gao frowned slightly.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a soldier rushed in from the door and reported loudly.
"What's up?"
Ning Gao frowned and asked.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is critically ill! The Crown Prince's Mansion has sent a letter asking you to return to the capital as soon as possible."
The soldier knelt on the ground and reported loudly.
Hearing this, Ning Gao's heart suddenly tightened.
"Your Majesty is critically ill? What's going on?"
"I don't know, but it's said that the Ninth Prince entered the capital and not only rescued the Prime Minister and his family, but also broke into the palace. I'm guessing he's related to this matter."
"What? Ning Quan?"
"How did he get into the capital? How did he get into the palace? Are the imperial guards just there to do nothing?"
Ning Gao shouted angrily and cursed.
"Your Highness, I am not aware of this matter."
The soldier said quickly.
Hearing this, Ning Gao immediately calmed down.
The most urgent thing right now is to return to the capital immediately instead of wasting time here.
"Pass the order down, order General Zhao to take over military duties temporarily, and this prince will return to the capital immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the soldier left, Ning Gao immediately gathered 500 personal soldiers and rushed to the capital.
