Chapter 375 Time Is Running Out

Duke Ning pursed his lips and said after a while, "I have said that Chuchu died twenty years ago.

The emperor felt a pain in his heart.

If he had not seen the gift list, he would have believed what Duke Ning said.

But now, he did not believe a word, "You lied to me twenty years ago, and you dare to lie to me again now. You are really brave.

If Chuchu is dead, then tell me, who wrote this gift list?"

"Your Majesty, there are many people in this world with similar handwriting. I don't know who wrote the gift list."

"You are lying. This peony, colorful butterfly and green bamboo picture are obviously painted by Chuchu. Don't think of deceiving me again!"

Seeing that Duke Ning still wanted to deny it, the emperor said with a gloomy face, "Don't forget that Chuchu's painting was taught by me. Even the copybook of hairpin flower small regular script she learned was given to her by me.

I will never mistake her painting and handwriting. "

Duke Ningguo opened his mouth, but had no way to refute.

He didn't expect Chuchu to send so many things to Prince Dingyuan's daughter and Ning Chuyi, and it was so unfortunate that the emperor saw it.

Seeing that Duke Ningguo did not refute, the emperor felt hopeful.

"Chuchu is not dead. Where has she been these years? Is she doing well? It's been twenty years. Why didn't she come back to see me?"

Duke Ningguo's heart, which had softened, was provoked by his words.

If it weren't for the emperor, how could his sister be away from Kyoto for these years, alone outside, and the two siblings couldn't see each other for twenty years.

"No, Chuchu died a long time ago. "

The emperor was expecting Duke Ning to tell him where he was, but he was poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

The anger in his heart rushed straight to his heart, and he wanted to chop off Duke Ning's head with a sword.

Everyone was far away, and although they could not hear the conversation between the emperor and Duke Ning, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their tense dispute.

The anger in the emperor's heart was extinguished little by little when he saw the resentful expression of Duke Ning.

"I know that I failed Chuchu back then, but I never meant it. I always wanted to marry Chuchu, but she left without saying goodbye that year, and I looked for her for a whole year. "

"It was you who told me that Chuchu was dead. "Thinking back to the past, the emperor's heart ached when he heard that Ning Chuchu fell into the river and died.

Back then, he was drugged with an aphrodisiac and wanted to find a doctor, but he met Chuchu on the way. Facing his beloved, he couldn't help but wanted her.

Who knew that after waking up, she left without saying goodbye.

He turned the capital upside down, but couldn't find her.

A year later, Duke Ning told him that Chuchu was in her hometown, and when she went to pick lotus pods, she accidentally fell into the river and died.

He didn't believe it and rushed to her hometown.

But he learned that Ning Chuchu had been buried long ago.

He was disheartened, and later in order to stabilize the court, he married Xu as the queen.

"If you hadn't deceived me, I wouldn't have married her. "Thinking of how he had been deceived for so many years, the emperor was angry and hateful, and punched Duke Ningguo in the face.

Ning Chuyi moved his feet subconsciously, but found that his arm was pulled again.

He turned around.

Ling Chu said awkwardly and helplessly, "Don't be impulsive, Duke Ningguo will be fine. "

Ning Chuyi pursed his lips and looked back.

Seeing that the emperor had taken action, fortunately he did not really use the sword to cut people.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to watch quietly.

Ling Chu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his hand.

He sighed again.

She repeatedly stopped Ning Chuyi from saving Duke Ning, and she didn't know if he would be angry with her.

Thinking that she would have to work under him in the future, Ling Chu was a little worried.

Forget it, it's useless to think too much, just take care of the present first.

For the future, we will deal with it as soon as the enemy comes.

After beating Duke Ning, the emperor grabbed his clothes on his chest and asked hatefully.

"I know Chuchu must not be dead. The painting was painted by her and the words were written by her. Since she can send so many things to Ning Chuyi, it proves that she is still alive.

This time, I will never give up until I find her! "

It is said that you should not hit someone in the face, but the emperor hit him in the face, which shows that he was really angry.

Duke Ningguo felt a pain in his face, but he couldn't help feeling guilty when he thought about how he had deceived the emperor.

Chuchu was worried that her life would be exposed, so she sent the things for Ning Chuyi to the Dingyuan Palace, but was still caught by the emperor.

This may be God's will.

Seeing that Duke Ningguo didn't speak, the emperor was so angry that he punched him again, "Tell me, where is Chuchu?"

Duke Ningguo grimaced in pain, and when he thought of the letter he received not long ago, his heart was in unbearable pain again.

Forget it, let them see each other for the last time.

Duke Ningguo sighed and finally spoke.

"Chuchu... is indeed still alive."

When the emperor heard this, his anger immediately dissipated, and a surprising light burst out of his eyes, "Where is she?"

Duke Ningguo looked directly at the emperor, "Do you really want to see her? "

The Emperor's anger rose again when he heard this, and he almost couldn't help but roar at Ningguo Gong.

Ningguo Gong looked at the Emperor coldly, and said word by word, "Chu Chu is still alive, but she is seriously ill, and now... she doesn't have much time left. Are you sure you still want to see her?"

The Emperor's face suddenly changed, and the ecstasy in his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

"What did you say? What happened?"

"Chu Chu never came back after leaving Beijing, and I don't know the specific situation. Not long ago, I received a letter from her maidservant and learned that she was seriously ill.

According to the doctor, she doesn't have much time left, half a year at most, one or two months at least..."

They are siblings, and the word death is too cruel, and Duke Ning couldn't bear to say it out loud.

The emperor clenched his fists, "Where is she now?"

Seeing that he was still persistent in asking about Ning Chuchu's whereabouts, Duke Ning finally gave in.

"The maid wrote a letter saying that she wanted to go to Xuanqing Temple to spend her last days..."

The emperor's face changed and he turned and left.

"Commander Pang, prepare the horse immediately!"

Duke Ning's face changed, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

The emperor frowned and pushed him away, "Of course it's Xuanqing Temple."

Hearing that he was going to see Chuchu, Duke Ning felt very uncomfortable. But he still stood in front of him, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you leave Beijing at will!"

The emperor paused.

Duke Ning's words reminded him.

He is the emperor, and after leaving Beijing, someone has to deal with the affairs of the court.

"Come here. "

"Convey my decree: From now on, Prince Jing, Prince Dingyuan, and the Grand Tutor will assist the Crown Prince in supervising the country until I return to the capital."

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone changed their faces and wanted to dissuade him.

But the emperor refused to listen and was determined to leave the capital.

Seeing Ning Chuyi standing aside with a frown, the emperor stopped, but he did not change his mind.

"My dear Ning, Princess Jiashan, you will leave the capital with me. "

Although Prince Dingyuan did not hear the dispute between the emperor and Duke Ning, he had already guessed it in his heart.

Although he did not know the specific details of what happened that year, he had heard a little about it.

Although the emperor married Xu as the queen, he loved Ning Chuchu, the eldest daughter of Duke Ning's mansion.

The emperor was probably determined to see her because he knew that she was not dead, but he did not expect that the emperor would let his daughter leave Beijing with him.
