Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 126 How Can He Claim Relatives at Random Places?

In front of Emperor Ming, Shen Nanqiao did not dare to go into detail about the various events surrounding his deceased mother. He just bowed politely and made an excuse to leave and wait.

After all, it may take men a long time to talk about important matters in the court.

Emperor Ming coughed twice, then turned to Ning Su and said.

"This incident must have been planned for a long time, and it can't be solved in a short time. You have been working hard these past two days. During the New Year, take two days off and spend time with your new bride."

Ning Su thanked him and left with Shen Nanqiao.

All the way to the carriage outside, he asked people to stop at the corner.

Shen Nanqiao was puzzled.

"Why don't you leave?"

Ning Su paused, and when he saw that there was no one around, he spoke.

"Prince Cheng will not stay in the palace for too long. If he returns to his residence in the capital, this is the only way he can pass through."

"You want to wait for him?"

It’s not that she was making a fuss, but the Ning Su she knew had always worked alone and had never taken the initiative to build relationships with anyone.

Moreover, just now in the Qianqing Palace, when he pushed the other person's hands away, it didn't look like they had a strong relationship.

"There may be more than one group of spies who have infiltrated the capital this time." Ning Su explained to her concisely, "So we may need the help of Yanyun Guards."

Shen Nanqiao was quite curious.

"What if Prince Cheng didn't come to the capital?"

"But he has entered the capital, hasn't he?" Ning Su said confidently, "It's a ready-made wool, so why not take advantage of it?"

It turned out that he would be lucky to take advantage of this opportunity. Shen Nanqiao did not expect that he had such an intention. He was dumbfounded and did not know what to say.

Fortunately, Ning Su quickly brought the topic back on track.

"The main thing is that with the help of Yanyun Guard, Shen Jingyi will be found soon."

Although Shen Nanqiao only had a vague understanding of the situation, he guessed that working with the factory guards would help achieve twice the result with half the effort, so he stopped asking questions.

Sure enough, not long after, Prince Cheng's horse was seen slowly driving out of the palace.

When passing by their carriage, it did not stop for a moment, but galloped straight past.

Ning Su pursed his lips and then told the driver to take another alley.

Shen Nanqiao became more and more puzzled.

"Why don't we go together? Aren't we waiting for him?"

Ning Su raised the corner of his lips slightly: "There's a tail behind you, let's get rid of it first."

Shen Nanqiao's heart tightened.

"Has the Emperor begun to suspect you? Otherwise, why would he send someone to follow you?"

The spies in the entire palace are supposed to be under the control of the Imperial Guards. Could it be that they are people secretly kept by the emperor?

Ning Su laughed when he heard this.

"Why do you suspect me? Didn't you send someone to follow me because you suspect King Cheng?"

Shen Nanqiao then realized that he had brought his thoughts from his previous life into this life.

"Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. I always feel nervous." She sighed and lowered her voice, "To be disrespectful, the emperor's health seems to be weak. He has been suffering from a cold for more than half a month and has not recovered yet."

Ning Su hesitated for a moment.

"Neither the Emperor nor the Crown Prince are strong. The imperial physician said that it is a weakness that has been passed down from generation to generation."

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but frown. For a country, the short-lived emperor could really be considered a disaster.

But she weighed the situation and ultimately did not speak.

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys and soon arrived at a teahouse. Prince Cheng apparently noticed that they were following him, so he did not return home.

Ning Su lifted the curtain and took a look, then took Shen Nanqiao out of the car.

The two went straight to the elegant room on the second floor.

When he opened the door, he saw King Cheng sitting upright by the window. When he saw the two of them come in, he chuckled.

"It's been less than ten years, but you've slowed down a lot."

Ning Su walked slowly to the chair beside the bed and sat down, the two of them facing each other.

"It's not that I'm slow, it's that I have a family now, so I have to be more cautious."

Shen Nanqiao saw that the two were interacting with each other and were obviously more familiar with each other than before, and guessed that they were trying to be discreet in front of Emperor Ming.

Just as she was thinking about it, Prince Cheng turned his gaze towards her. The hand on his leg curled up his fingers and then opened them, looking a little embarrassed.

He wanted to continue the previous topic, but felt that he had no position to do so. After thinking it over again and again, it was finally Shen Nanqiao who took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, did you want to ask me about my mother before?"

Prince Cheng's eyes lit up. The little girl was very considerate.

"But since this involves my late mother's privacy, why should I tell His Majesty?"

The little girl's eyes were as bright as a pool of spring water, which made people feel daunted.

The enthusiasm that Prince Cheng had just felt was dampened, and he felt a little depressed. He just thought this girl was considerate.

But after these interactions, he suddenly felt a little like he did when he was with her mother in the past.

If I had a daughter, would it be like this?

She argues with you, and then acts like a spoiled child when she's angry?

Prince Cheng, who had no experience in raising children, felt a little hope from the bottom of his heart, but even he was scared by the idea.

Shen Nanqiao saw his expression changing, and couldn't guess what kind of relationship he had with his mother in the past. After thinking for a while, he spoke conservatively.

"Just now when the prince came with the Yanyun Guards, those men in black took away my sister from my mother's family. This man has a deep grudge against my mother and has threatened to humiliate her reputation." Shen Nanqiao paused, "Can you ask the prince to do a small favor and ask the Yanyun Guards to help find someone?"

On the way here, Ning Su had hinted to her that Prince Cheng never lent out the Yanyun Guards easily. That was a well-known elite force in the Great Chu, and they were originally spies.

Prince Cheng suddenly stood up from his chair with a grim look on his face.

"Is this how Shen Mingde teaches his daughter?"

Shen Nanqiao's heart sank. Although she felt the same way, it would not be good to make indirect accusations in front of someone else's daughter, right?

Then listen to King Cheng say again.

"How dare a concubine's daughter slander her deceased mother? I will beat that old man up tomorrow when I see him!"

Ning Su watched coldly from the side, and suddenly felt that there was a strange sense of harmony between the old and the young.

Both the tone of voice and the expression are exactly the same.

Prince Cheng vented a few words and turned to look at Shen Nanqiao.

"Don't worry, I will send the most elite members of the Yanyun Guard to fight, and there will be news within a day."

After hearing his assurance, Shen Nanqiao felt relieved.

Thinking that I had just judged someone by my own standards, I felt a little embarrassed, so I bowed my head in a serious manner.

"Then I would like to thank His Majesty for his generous help on behalf of my late mother."

Prince Cheng was at a loss for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he immediately waved his hands.

"Your mother and I are old acquaintances. If you have any difficulties in the future, or if this boy bullies you, just come to me with the token." As he said this, he took out a small jade token from his waist and handed it to me. "Don't be polite. I had a close relationship with your mother in the past. Just treat me as your real uncle."

Shen Nanqiao took the token hesitantly, and some inappropriate guess emerged in his mind.

Have a deep relationship?
