Chapter 490: Become King
In the main hall, Uncle Chai and Yudie were all there, along with several guards.
On the ground, a man and a woman were tied up.
The man seemed to be a servant, and Ning Chen didn't know him. There were too many people in the mansion, and he hadn't recognized them all yet.
Ning Chen did know the woman, Guan Rongrong.
Both of them looked very strange, with flushed faces, blurred eyes, and moaning sounds.
"Both of them were given aphrodisiacs."
Zi Su said.
Ning Chen frowned and looked at Uncle Chai, "Why is she still in the mansion?"
He remembered telling Uncle Chai to give Guan Rongrong some silver and let her leave the mansion.
Uncle Chai hurriedly said, "We were going to send her away, but she suddenly caught a cold... I wanted to wait until she recovered before letting her leave."
Ning Chen hummed and said lightly, "Who can tell me what's going on?"
Yudie told the story again!
These days, it has been rumored in the mansion that Ning Chen favored Guan Rongrong.
Guan Rongrong will become the third mistress of Ning Mansion.
Because someone saw Ning Chen enter Guan Rongrong's room that night.
Yudie naturally didn't believe it.
If Ning Chen really loved Guan Rongrong again, he would admit it openly.
Today, Guan Rongrong suddenly found her and said that she had something important to tell her.
As soon as she entered the door, Guan Rongrong knelt down in front of her and begged her to help intercede and let Ning Chen accept her.
Yudie is not a jealous woman.
As long as Ning Chen is happy.
But this Guan Rongrong is too purposeful.
The recent rumors in the mansion are probably spread by her.
So, Yudie refused directly.
Although Guan Rongrong was very disappointed, she didn't pester him anymore.
She poured two cups of tea, with a sincere face, saying that she was leaving the mansion, and this cup of tea was to thank her for her care during this period.
Yudie is gentle, kind, and considerate, but she is not a fool.
She had seen all kinds of people in the Jiaofang Division, and she was very good at judging people.
How could Guan Rongrong, a woman with such a strong purpose, give up so easily?
The most important thing was that she heard some noise in the inner room, as if someone was there.
She wanted to see what Guan Rongrong was up to?
So she quietly told Xiao Xing to call Gu Yichun over.
At the same time, when she took the teacup, she put it on the table and took out a few silver bills from her sleeve and handed them to Guan Rongrong, hoping that she could live a good life after leaving the Marquis' Mansion.
These silver bills were all worth 100 taels each, and Guan Rongrong was really attracted.
Yudie took the opportunity to exchange the teacups.
Then, both of them drank the tea.
Yudie looked at her drinking, but she didn't actually drink it.
The women in the Jiaofang Division were proficient in various tricks to avoid drinking, and the cup of tea was drunk by the handkerchief in Yudie's hand.
As a result, Guan Rongrong, who drank the tea, became what she is now.
Afterwards, Gu Yichun brought people to control Guan Rongrong, and also searched out a servant with a flushed face, tied up and gagged from the inner room.
Ning Chen's face turned pale after listening to Yudie's words.
Zi Su said: "It seems that this woman thinks that you don't accept her because Yudie is interfering... So she wants to use this method to get rid of Yudie."
"If Yudie drinks that cup of tea and gets tricked, she will let this servant go... Two people who have been drugged and lost control will do what you can imagine."
"At that time, she only needs to notify others to catch the adultery... It's really vicious."
Uncle Chai and others all changed their faces.
Having an affair with a servant is to be beaten to death.
This is to put Yudie to death.
Ning Chen's face was as gloomy as water, and he lowered his head to glance at Guan Rongrong, "This marquis gave you a chance, but you insisted on seeking death, and this marquis fulfilled your wish."
Perhaps he heard Ning Chen's voice.
Guan Rongrong murmured unconsciously, "My Lord, My Lord...Why don't you accept me? It must be that bitch Yudie who is obstructing me...She is afraid that I will replace her."
"She is a bitch from the Jiaofangsi, I am cleaner than her...What she can do for you, I can do too..."
The faces of the people present changed drastically.
"Bah...How dare you compare with Zhirou? Although Zhirou came from the Jiaofangsi, she was innocent when she met you, who are you?"
"Zhirou is reasonable, gentle and kind...How can a vicious woman like you compare to her?"
Zi Su said with disdain.
Everyone nodded.
Yudie is gentle, kind, generous and decent, and everyone in the mansion likes her very much.
Ning Chen said word by word: "Gu Yichun, drag her away and beat her to death!"
His eyes fell on the servant, "Find out if he has anything to do with this matter. If so, beat him to death."
Gu Yichun said hurriedly: "Yes!"
"Come here, drag them both away."
Gu Rongrong and the servant were dragged away.
Ning Chen looked at Yudie, "Are you okay?"
Yudie shook her head gently.
Ning Chen comforted them a few words and led them back to the room.
Ning Chen didn't take this little episode to heart.
He was always worried about His Majesty's illness.
No, he couldn't wait until he married the Ninth Princess before going to Xiliang.
He had to act as soon as possible.
No matter what, even if he disobeyed the order, he had to go to Xiliang.
Ning Chen decided to quietly lead the Ning'an Army to Xiliang tomorrow night.
......
The next day, early court!
The Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon throne.
The civil and military officials were on both sides.
It was just that the position of the right prime minister was vacant.
Ning Chen didn't care about these things. He frowned and looked at Emperor Xuan with a worried face.
Emperor Xuan looked very bad. He was very thin and listless.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, rest in peace!"
"My dear ministers... cough, cough cough cough..."
Emperor Xuan didn't finish his words before he started to cough violently.
After a long while, the coughing stopped. When he moved his handkerchief... there was a little blood on the handkerchief.
He quickly wiped his mouth, then put the handkerchief away without leaving any trace, and then looked at Ning Chen.
Seeing Ning Chen's worried face, he smiled at him.
He cleared his throat, "My dear ministers, please stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When the ministers stood up, they all looked at Emperor Xuan with worry.
Everyone could see that Emperor Xuan was in a very bad state.
Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen with a smile on his pale face, "Ning Chen, please come forward and listen to the title!"
Ning Chen stepped out of the line, took two steps forward, and knelt on the ground.
"Ning Chen has pacified the southern border and saved the emperor... I will confer upon you the title of King of the State of Defense."
When these words came out, all the ministers were stunned.
Conferring the title of King?
Except for Emperor Taizu, there has never been another king of a different surname in the history of Daxuan.
Moreover, the words "Zhengguo" are too heavy.
"Ning Chen, Daxuan is lucky to have you."
Ning Chen was about to thank him, but a censor stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible... Lord Ning is already a first-rank general. Now there is no crown prince in the country. It is not good for the country to make Lord Ning a king. Your Majesty, please withdraw your order!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Ning's contribution is indeed unparalleled, but it is inappropriate to make him a king... Your Majesty can change it to other rewards."
"Your Majesty, since the Emperor Taizu, Daxuan has never had a king of the opposite sex... It is an unwritten rule not to make a king. Your Majesty's move is suspected of violating the ancestral precepts and is really inappropriate."
"I second the motion!"
"I also second the motion!"
Many officials stood up to oppose Ning Chen's title of king.
Ning Chen is already very powerful now, how can he be made a king again?
