Chapter 380 Regaining Freedom

Eunuch Quan didn't know what he was doing. Why did General Chen destroy Fan Taihe's brain?

Emperor Xuan had a strange expression, "Fan Taihe said in the book that his leg was not broken by General Chen, but by him accidentally. It had nothing to do with General Chen."

"I also request that I don't punish General Chen for this matter."

Eunuch Quan was stunned. There was something wrong with his brain.

Emperor Xuan looked at Eunuch Quan, "Do you think Fan Taihe took the wrong medicine?"

Eunuch Quan bowed his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing! It seems that Mr. Fan's broken leg has nothing to do with General Chen. It is all a misunderstanding."

Emperor Xuan snorted coldly!

"Misunderstanding? In front of all the civil and military officials who just came down from the court, so many pairs of eyes were blinded?"

"These censors and officials want fame rather than their lives, especially Fan Taihe. As the head of the officials, how could he let go of such an opportunity to gain fame?"

"This is clearly someone who took advantage of him and forced him to change his story. I am embarrassed for him because of this blunt reason."

"Quansheng, go back and ask Ning Chen... what did he use to make a deal with Fan Taihe to make him change his mind?"

Eunuch Quan was shocked, "Your Majesty, you mean that this matter was done by Mr. Ning?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him? If I'm not wrong, the officials who were beaten up by him today will also change their story and say that they fell."

Emperor Xuan paused, squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that Fan Taihe has a very important clue in Ning Chen's hands, otherwise he wouldn't change his story?"

Eunuch Quan whispered: "Your Majesty, I will go and ask Mr. Ning now."

Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "Forget it! Fan Taihe changed his mind, which saves me from having a headache... Ning Chen can be considered as helping me."

"I was originally worried that he would be bullied if he loses his authority, but it seems that I was overly worried... Seeing that he has the ability to protect himself, I feel relieved."

Emperor Xuan was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Quansheng, last time Ning Chen asked me to pardon Miss Yudie, there was another woman, what was her name?"

Eunuch Quan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Zi Su."

Emperor Xuan shook his head, "Zisu is Yan Wenbo's daughter. I remember this... there was another woman at that time, who seems to be related to Pan Yucheng from the Supervision Department?"

Who did the father-in-law immediately think of? He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, that woman's name is Nanzhi."

"Yes, that's the name."

Emperor Xuan sighed: "Originally, I wanted to marry the Ninth Princess to Ning Chen, but now that he has no fame, he cannot be justified in terms of love and law."

"He has performed many miraculous achievements for Daxuan, but I failed to protect him from the court... After all, I owe him."

Eunuch Quan hurriedly leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ning asked me to tell your Majesty... Your Majesty's kindness to him will be remembered forever and will never be forgotten."

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "Quansheng, prepare the decree!"

"yes!"

After writing the imperial edict, Emperor Xuan stamped it with his seal.

When Quan Gongzheng was about to deliver the order, a young eunuch walked in and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess wishes to see you!"

Emperor Xuan's expression froze slightly, and then he sighed helplessly.

"Let her in."

"yes!"

The little eunuch retreated.

Emperor Xuan looked at Eunuch Quan and said, "Go ahead."

When Eunuch Quan was going out, he happened to meet the Ninth Princess who came in.

The Ninth Princess did not put on makeup or any complicated headdress. She only wore a gold hairpin. Her face was haggard and her eyes were red and swollen. It seemed that she had cried again.

...

Ning Chen and General Chen drank too much at noon.

I just went home and lay down for a while.

The drinking was quite enjoyable, and I heard Old General Chen and Riniang scolding me throughout the whole process.

Finally, it ended with General Chen overturning the table.

The last time Old General Chen turned over the table was in Zhuangyuan Building. At that time, he was missing a leg and drank to relieve his sorrow every day.

However, last time General Chen lifted the table for himself...this time it was for Ning Chen.

Ning Chen was sleeping soundly when someone woke him up.

"Stop making noise, let me sleep a little longer!"

Ning Chen opened his eyes and took a look. He was dizzy after drinking too much and couldn't see who it was? Turned over and continued to sleep.

"Fourth Young Master, Fourth Young Master... wake up quickly, there is an order coming from the palace, get up quickly and receive the order..."

The word "receiver" made Ning Chen sober up.

He has no power or position now, so it is unlikely that the palace will give him an edict... If there is an imperial edict, it is most likely the matter that he asked Eunuch Quan to ask about?

Ning Chen struggled to sit up, took a few sips of herbal tea to wake himself up, and then wandered to the main hall outside.

"Hi, Lao Quan!"

Ning Chen waved his hands with a silly smile on his face.

Father-in-law Quan sniffed and said, "How much have you drunk? You smell of alcohol."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Not much...don't leave for a while, let's drink some more."

Eunuch Quan doesn't dare to drink. He has to serve His Majesty at all times... When he drinks, he usually drinks a few drinks and doesn't dare to drink too much.

"Ning Chen listens!"

Ning Chen knelt down unsteadily, "I... no, the common people... the common people listen to your orders!"

Quan Gong said: "Your Majesty, it has been found out that Qinghe County Magistrate Liu Zhichen was a loyal and upright minister. He died unjustly, and my heart is very sad... From now on, Liu Zhichen's daughter Liu Zhirou will be restored to justice." Now that I am free, I will give Ning Chen the title of maid, and I will issue a certificate from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Please give me this!"

The smile on Ning Chen's face stiffened a little.

"Lao Quan, what do you mean by giving me the title of maid?"

Quan Gong said fairly: "Just let Miss Yudie stay with you."

Ning Chen looked grim, "Your Majesty issued an order to restore Yudie's freedom, but now he wants her to stay with me as a slave. What's the difference between this and not pardoning her slavery?"

Eunuch Quan hurriedly said, "There is still a difference. Miss Yudie will not have to stay in the Music Bureau in the future."

Ning Chen sneered, "Your Majesty restored Yudie's freedom, but gave her to me as a maid... Your Majesty's reward, so she can only stay with me as a maid for the rest of her life. Without Your Majesty's nod, I can't give her a name, otherwise it would be deceiving the emperor, is that what you mean?"

Eunuch Quan sighed and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Ning, when you have a wife, you can take Miss Yudie as a concubine."

"When I left the palace, I met the Ninth Princess. She looked much more haggard, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying... Ning Chen, you should understand what His Majesty means by such an order?"

Ning Chen frowned. Could it be that His Majesty still didn't give up and wanted to match him with the Ninth Princess?

But now he is an idle man, without any achievements... It is impossible for him to be with the Ninth Princess both legally and emotionally.

But when he heard that the Ninth Princess looked much more haggard and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, he still felt a little distressed.

The Ministry of Rites prepared for more than two months, and the wedding was only three days away... But this happened, and the Ninth Princess lost more than just her reputation.

Eunuch Quan said: "Ning Chen, His Majesty could have not issued this decree, but he still did... You should understand His Majesty's good intentions."

"In addition, His Majesty also issued a decree."

Ning Chen was slightly startled, "What decree?"

"His Majesty also pardoned Miss Nanzhi... You should understand that a Pan Yucheng is not qualified for His Majesty to issue a decree."

Eunuch Quan said earnestly: "The emperor's grace is great, don't let him down."

"Ning Chen, to be honest, if you support Yudie as your legal wife... there will be no possibility of being with the Ninth Princess in the future."

Ning Chen was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
