Chapter 422: Did You Bring Me a Landscape Painting?

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is there no movement from the Supervision Department?"

Nod silently.

"Did the message not arrive?"

Silently shook his head, "Impossible!"

Ning Chen frowned, "Who should I send the message to?"

Silence said: "My men tied the letter to the arrow, and the arrow shot out with the letter, and nailed it to the red-clothed foot at the door of the Supervision Department. There is no way they didn't notice it."

"when?"

Shen Mo thought about it for a moment and said, "It was the twenty-seventh of last month."

Ning Chen said nothing.

He changed the topic: "The warship I came back on was scuttled, and Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng disappeared."

Silence's face changed slightly.

Ning Chen continued: "Send your people to secretly explore the whereabouts of the two of them. They must have fallen into the hands of the right minister."

Shen Mo asked: "You are in the capital?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "Not sure."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the fifth prince and the right minister, and notify me immediately if there is any news."

Nod silently.

Ning Chen said: "In addition, we sent people to secretly search for a man named Ye Liao. He is the person in charge of the scuttled warship."

Silently said: "Yes!"

"By the way! One more thing. The ship I was on sank, and all the samples I brought back were lost... Send a message to the Empress and ask her to send someone to hurry up and send another batch of samples."

Silence looked puzzled, "What sample?"

"Glass, fine salt, toothpaste."

Silence made me even more confused, not understanding a word.

Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "You will know in the future. Send the message according to my wishes. Does she know what I want?"

Nod silently.

After chatting for a while, Ning Chen left Wuyou Escort Bureau and returned to Ning Mansion!

"Ning Lang."

Seeing Ning Chen, Yudie jumped for joy, her big watery eyes full of love.

Zisu's little face is bright and charming.

Ning Chen hugged one with each other, and after kissing Yudie and Zisu, the rain and dew were both wet.

"During my absence, nothing happened, right?"

Yudie shook her head, "It's all good!"

"Where's Miss Rongrong?"

Yudie smiled slightly and said: "Her injuries have recovered, and I let her stay in the house to work."

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

"Are you hungry, Ning Lang? I'll have someone prepare something for you."

Ning Chen ate and drank enough and took a bath under the care of the two women.

That night, Ning Chen naturally gave everything he had to him without hesitation.

...

The next day, morning!

"Your Majesty is here!"

Quan Gong's high-pitched voice is extremely penetrating.

"I see your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty's greetings!"

Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon chair and looked at Ning Chen. His eyes stayed on him for a while, with a smile on his face.

"Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers stood up.

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen and asked with a smile: "Ning Chen, how did the peace talks go?"

In fact, he already knew the result, and he wanted to ask the officials.

Ning Chen came out of the queue, leaned over and said: "Your Majesty does not want the two countries to fight against each other and destroy all lives... Your Majesty's reputation for benevolence has long been spread throughout the Wu Kingdom."

"Wu Guo is grateful for His Majesty's kindness and gratitude...so the peace talks went smoothly."

Emperor Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Although he knew that Ning Chen was flattering him, he still found it useful.

Ning Chen presented the peace treaty book with both hands.

Eunuch Quan hurriedly came down and presented the peace treaty to Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan opened it and his face suddenly froze.

He looked at Ning Chen, "Is this a peace treaty?"

Ning Chen looked puzzled, thinking to himself, if it wasn't a peace talk book, what was it?

"Your Majesty, this is the peace treaty, inscribed by the Empress of the Kingdom of Wu herself, with her name and imperial seal on it."

That night, he fought all night but failed to find out the name of the empress.

However, when he signed the peace treaty, he finally found out.

The empress' name is Wu Xingcheng.

Emperor Xuan had a strange expression. He turned over the peace treaty and showed it to Ning Chen and the officials, "Ning Chen, where are the name and imperial seal of the Empress of Wu Kingdom?"

Ning Chen's eyes widened and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I saw lumps of black halo on the golden silk satin.

All the civil and military officials were also shocked.

this? ? ?

Ning Chen was completely speechless.

He checked it after he landed ashore. Although the ink on it was blurred and the handwriting was blurred, he could still see it clearly.

He even dried the peace talks before putting them away... How did this become like this?

The ministers whispered.

Emperor Xuan joked: "Ning Chen, did you bring me a landscape painting?"

The ministers burst into laughter.

Ning Chen showed a black line on his forehead and said: "Your Majesty! I was assassinated on my way back to the capital, and my warship was scuttled...I almost drowned, but I finally escaped death. The peace treaty became like this. It must have been soaked in water at that time." Caused."

All civil and military officials were suddenly in an uproar!

Emperor Xuan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said angrily: "Did you hear this, dear friends? Sinking the warship and assassinating the Marquis... is simply audacious."

"Warships are related to the country and the country. Ning Chen is my personally named Marquis. How dare someone assassinate him... This is provoking me."

"I have already asked people to investigate this matter, and we must find out a result... No matter who it is? I put my words here. As long as you are involved, the three clans will be punished!"

All civil and military officials turned pale and remained silent.

When Ning Chen returned from peace talks, someone dared to assassinate him on the warship. Isn't this looking for death?

Your Majesty is really angry this time.

The right prime minister lowered his head, sweating on his forehead, and the fingertips shrunk in his sleeves could not help but tremble.

He had never agreed to the plan to assassinate Ning Chen on the warship.

Because no matter whether it succeeded or not, if the warship was sunk, His Majesty would be furious and would order a thorough investigation.

As long as it was something ordered by His Majesty, the Supervisory Department would go all out, and if they were not careful, they would be found out.

But that person's assassination plan was very thorough and perfect.

Unfortunately, man's plans are not as good as God's plans. The plan that was originally foolproof still let Ning Chen escape in the end.

Emperor Xuan glanced at the civil and military officials coldly, and then his eyes fell on Ning Chen. His eyes became gentle and said, "Ning Chen, what should you do with this landscape painting?"

Before Ning Chen could speak, a censor jumped out and said, "Your Majesty! The peace agreement is the top priority. The Marquis should keep it properly... Now it is severely damaged. The Marquis has seriously neglected his duties and should be severely punished!"

Emperor Xuan's face suddenly turned cold.

Damn... Are you fucking sick? Ning Chen complained in his heart.

He almost lost his life, and this bastard actually jumped out to criticize him.

Is his life more important, or is this broken thing more important?

In fact, Ning Chen was right to be angry, and the censor was right to impeach him.

The peace agreement is of utmost importance, which concerns the peace between the two countries. To be precise, it is more important than Ning Chen's life.

If it were an ordinary person, the peace agreement would be destroyed like this, although there are reasons... but it is also true that he failed to protect it. Even if he is not beheaded, he will be severely punished.

Emperor Xuan ignored the censor and looked at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen leaned over and said: "Your Majesty! The destruction of the peace agreement is indeed my fault. I know my crime. Please show mercy and let me make up for it."

Emperor Xuan said: "Do you have a way to remedy it?"

This peace agreement is the handwriting of the Emperor of Wu, and there is an imperial seal on it. Now it is damaged like this, which is very disrespectful... If the Emperor of Wu cares about it, it will lead to the failure of the peace talks.

What Emperor Xuan didn’t know was that damaging the peace agreement meant nothing... Ning Chen was fine even if he tore up the Empress Wu’s bellyband.
