The Return of the Demon

Chapter 370 This Is a Big Trouble

The Ninth Princess was too shy to bear it, and she was furious.

He Ye took the opportunity to say: "Princess, he is so bold that he dared to flirt with you and touch you. I must report it to His Majesty."

The Ninth Princess nodded heavily, and then asked: "He Ye, do I look good in the gold hairpin?"

He Ye: "???"

"Looks good!"

The Ninth Princess thought for a while, "Forget it, since he gave me the gold hairpin, I won't complain to my father."

"It's useless to complain. My father loves him so much... At most, he will reprimand him a few times."

"It's embarrassing to tell others about this."

In fact, Ning Chen kissed her just now, and it felt quite comfortable.

He Ye was dumbfounded, so he didn't complain?

She fell to her knees, sobbing: "Princess, please save me... I don't want to marry Butcher Zhang."

"What Butcher Zhang?"

"Princess, Lord Ning said that he will marry me to Butcher Zhang after he marries you."

"Ah? Is that true?"

She was so dizzy from Ning Chen's kiss that she didn't hear Ning Chen's words to scare He Ye.

He Ye: "..."

"Princess, that butcher Zhang never takes a bath or brushes his teeth. Lord Ning said he likes to eat human flesh, and he likes young women like me the most...Princess, help me, I don't want to be eaten."

The Ninth Princess burst out laughing, "Are you stupid? Ning Chen is scaring you."

He Ye sniffed, looking scared, "Lord is serious."

"You are so stupid, you believe what he says? Remember the uncle? The uncle bullied the people and was killed by Ning Chen...If this butcher Zhang really eats human flesh, Ning Chen would have killed him long ago."

"He is just scaring you...Besides, you are my person, he has no right to marry you to someone else, right? If you want to marry, you have to get my approval."

He Ye was stunned, and it really made sense.

No need to marry Butcher Zhang, that's great...He Ye wiped her tears, secretly cursing Ning Chen as a bastard in her heart.

The Ninth Princess blushed and said, "He Ye, prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath!"

He Ye was surprised, "Didn't the princess take a bath this morning?"

The Ninth Princess rubbed her legs unconsciously, a little embarrassed and angry, "Just go if I ask you to, can't I take a bath?"

......

For the next two days, Ning Chen was very busy.

Because he was about to get married to the princess, he couldn't rest at all.

The mansion had to be redecorated, and the betrothal gifts had to be prepared.

Ning Chen ran back and forth between the mansion and the Ministry of Rites.

There couldn't be any mistakes in the royal wedding.

In Shen Min's words, if there was any mistake, it would be a matter of losing his head.

That night, Ning Chen finally squeezed out some time and came to the Jiaofangsi.

In the first half of the night, Yudie lined up to welcome him.

In the second half of the night, Zi Su criticized him verbally and physically.

The next morning, Ning Chen was sleeping soundly with Yudie's soft body in his arms, and Zi Su walked in and woke Ning Chen up.

Ning Chen squeezed in and said with a sly smile: "Sleep together?"

Zi Su glared at him, "Get up quickly, Geng Ziyi is waiting for you outside."

Ning Chen was slightly startled. Geng Jing must have something important to ask him at this time.

He got out of bed, put on his clothes and went to the outer room.

"Sir Geng, are you here to see me? Or did you stay here last night and didn't go back?"

Geng Jing said unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry to the palace!"

Ning Chen asked curiously: "What happened?"

Geng Jing shook his head, "I don't know, His Majesty sent someone to pass on the decree, summoning you to the palace immediately... I went to the Marquis' Mansion, but I didn't find you, thinking you must be here."

Ning Chen said "Oh".

The two went out and rode their horses to the palace.

.......

In the Golden Palace, Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon throne, flipping through several secret letters in his hands, his brows furrowed.

The ministers were silent and the atmosphere was depressing.

At this time, a young eunuch came in and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Lord Ning and Geng Ziyi ask for an audience!"

Emperor Xuan put down the secret letter in his hand and said coldly: "Announce."

"Yes!"

The young eunuch retreated.

After a while, Ning Chen and Geng Jing walked in.

All the civil and military officials turned their heads and looked at each other with different expressions.

Shen Min, Li Hanru, Li Zhixing and others looked at Ning Chen with worried eyes.

Some other officials were expressionless, while others were gloating!

Ning Chen realized that something was wrong and felt uneasy.

"Minister, see your majesty!"

Ning Chen and Geng Jing shouted in unison and saluted at the same time.

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, his brows almost wrinkled into a river.

He handed the two memorials to Eunuch Quan, "Show them to Ning Chen."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Quan walked down and handed the memorials to Ning Chen, his eyes full of worry.

Ning Chen opened the first memorial, and after reading it, his face was solemn.

This is a battle report, and it is a report of defeat.

Nanyue suddenly sent troops.

The soldiers in the southern border were defeated, with more than 20,000 casualties.

When Ning Chen opened the second memorial, his face changed completely.

This was a memorial impeaching him.

The memorial said that he colluded with Nanyue and leaked the military deployment map of the southern border to Nanyue, which led to the defeat of the war in the southern border.

The person who impeached him was the Imperial Censor Fan Taihe.

Ning Chen knew this person.

The reason why he knew it was because of the left prime minister.

Because the Imperial Censor was the deputy of the left prime minister, he was also called the deputy prime minister... As the head of the Imperial Censorate, like the Supervisory Department, the Imperial Censor had the responsibility to supervise all officials.

Ning Chen knew this person, but he didn't know him well.

Because this person had never been in the capital, when the left prime minister fell, he was visiting the border soldiers on behalf of His Majesty.

The left prime minister fell.

Now, there are two people who are most likely to take over the position of the left prime minister.

One is the deceased Shangshu Ling Li Hongzhuo.

The other is the Imperial Censor Fan Taihe.

Emperor Xuan frowned and looked at Ning Chen, "What do you want to say?"

Ning Chen closed the memorial and looked around at the civil and military officials, "Who is the Imperial Censor Fan?"

A man in his fifties, wearing a scarlet official robe, not tall, thin, and with a beard, stepped out and bowed to Ning Chen, "Meet the Marquis!"

Ning Chen looked at him and raised the memorial in his hand, "Do we have a grudge?"

Fan Taihe shook his head and said, "I am not talking about the person, I hope the Marquis will forgive me! "

"What a good way to blame the matter but not the person... Do you know that this memorial is enough to ruin me forever?"

Fan Taihe leaned over, "This is related to the safety of the southern border, and the more than 20,000 soldiers who died in vain... If I turn a blind eye, I will be ashamed of your majesty's trust and the official robe on my body."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "You must have evidence to report me, right?"

Fan Taihe looked calm and said slowly: "The evidence has been submitted to your majesty!"

Ning Chen raised his head and looked at Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan asked Eunuch Quan to give the secret letters to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen took the secret letter, opened it, and his pupils shrank slightly.

Immediately, he opened several other secret letters.

These secret letters are all evidence of his exchanges with Kang Luo, the fourth prince of Nanyue... The letters mentioned the military deployment map of the southern border and other interests.

Moreover, the words on these letters are all in his handwriting.

This letter is naturally forged.

But even Ning Chen himself couldn't find any flaws in the handwriting.

This was a big problem!
