Chapter 556: An Imperial Decree Summons Ning Chen Back to Beijing

Pan Yucheng's mouth twitched, wanting to beat Ning Chen to death.

"What are you talking about? The child is mine."

Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely speechless.

"Then thank me for what?"

Pan Yucheng said: "Without you, it would be impossible for me to be with Nanzhi."

"Hey...are you sick? You thanked me for no reason, and said that Miss Nanzhi is pregnant...can I not think too much about it?"

Pan Yucheng was speechless.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "This is a good thing. When did you discover it?"

With a smile on his face, Pan Yucheng said, "This morning, Nanzhi felt nauseous for no reason, and it was Lin Ying who reminded me."

"I asked Mr. Xie to check and found out that Nanzhi is pregnant."

Ning Chen laughed, "Old Pan, congratulations!"

Feng Qizheng and Chen Chong ran over.

"Boss, are you pregnant?"

Pan Yucheng: "???"

"No, I mean are you going to be a father?"

Pan Yucheng smiled and nodded.

...

Capital, court.

The annals of history were moved to the court, accompanied by a historian.

Emperor Xuan asked his historians to find out whether there were any allusions between Li Kai and the king of Jingguo during the Taizu period.

After the historian checked it, there was a question mark on his forehead.

There actually is.

The ministers gathered around to check and confirm!

The color of the paper and the handwriting are all fine.

This allusion is indeed true.

Feng Gaojie looked at Yan Guan and sneered: "Everyone, did I make up this allusion?"

The speaker was silent and had nothing to say.

One of the officials refused to give up and looked at the historian, "Is it possible that this allusion was added later?"

The historian was furious, "What do you mean? My Chen family has been a historian for generations. This is what my ancestors recorded. How can it be false?"

Historians have passed it down from generation to generation.

This official's words clearly cast doubt on his ancestors. How could the historian not be angry?

Emperor Xuan coughed a few times strategically and said: "Since there is such a precedent, I should imitate Taizu and follow in Taizu's footsteps."

"Quansheng, prepare a decree for me and send Ning Chen back to the capital as soon as possible. There must be no mistakes!"

Ning Chen is followed by shadow guards, so it is not difficult to find him.

Eunuch Quan's face was full of joy, Ning Chen was coming back.

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Emperor Xuan's eyes fell on Feng Gaojie, "Feng Gaojie comes forward to accept the seal!"

Feng Gaojie quickly stepped forward and bowed down.

Emperor Xuan said: "Feng Gaojie has made great contributions to the virtuous and has been promoted to Minister of Rites."

Feng Gaojie was ecstatic and said loudly: "My lord, thank you for your kindness!"

Emperor Xuan's eyes fell on the group of officials, he snorted coldly and said: "Retreat from the court!"

"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

After Emperor Xuan left, Feng Gaojie stood up and straightened his waist. He was in high spirits on happy occasions!

The officials stared at the airy Feng Gaojie with hatred.

"Hmph, you are a follower of others, shameless!"

"Relying on flattery to get promoted is despised by everyone in the world!"

"What are you proud of? Recommend Ning Chen. If he plots rebellion in the future, you will cry."

Feng Gaojie walked up to the officials with his hands behind his back and said, "Everyone, please slow down your scolding. I will go back home to celebrate first."

The noses of a bunch of people who talk too much are crooked.

"Hmph, the villain succeeds."

"Recommending Ning Chen is actually a traitor. He cannot be allowed to succeed. His ugly face should be known to the world."

"You're right, let's go to his house to argue with him."

Li Hanru and others looked at each other, speechless.

On the other side, Emperor Xuan's steps became much brisker.

He glanced at Father-in-law Quan, "You look happier than me?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I received Ning Chen's letter last night and I was really happy."

Emperor Xuan was slightly startled, "Xin, what kind of letter?"

Quan Gong said fairly: "It's just a letter of greetings. In the letter, Ning Chen told the old slave some interesting things he saw and heard along the way!"

"Why did he write to you? He must be inquiring about my situation, right?"

Quan Gong said fairly: "Replying to Your Majesty, Ning Chen did not mention Your Majesty in the letter... Not only the old slave, but also the Ninth Princess, Old General Chen and others have received Ning Chen's letter."

Emperor Xuan's expression froze slightly.

"He didn't mention me in the letter?"

"No!"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Then he must have written another letter to me."

Quan Gong said fairly: "The old slave has not seen the letter he wrote to His Majesty."

"No?" Emperor Xuan frowned, "Did you forget it there? Think about it carefully."

Eunuch Quan said hurriedly: "Indeed not!"

Emperor Xuan suddenly became unhappy.

"He didn't write to me?"

Only then did Eunuch Quan realize that something was wrong, and said hesitantly: "This, this... I have indeed not seen the letter to Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuan's face darkened, "What does he mean? You have all received the letter, but I have not...Does he want to sever ties with me?"

Eunuch Quan lowered his head and whispered, "Maybe Ning Chen has forgotten."

"What did you say? Forgot? You mean he forgot about me?"

"Uh...that's not what I meant, old slave."

Emperor Xuan had a dark face and snorted coldly.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly said: "Where is your letter? Bring it to me and have a look."

Eunuch Quan quickly took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan opened it, and the content of the letter was simply greetings and concerns...but he was indeed not mentioned in the letter.

Emperor Xuan threw the letter to Eunuch Quan with a straight face.

Father-in-law Quan carefully folded the letter and put it away.

Back in the imperial study, Emperor Xuan pretended to flip through the memorials casually.

Perhaps the letter Ning Chen wrote to him was accidentally mixed in with these memorials.

But he flipped through the memorials twice and was sure that he was overthinking.

He turned his head and glanced at Eunuch Quan, and the more he looked at him, the more he disliked him.

"These bastards are getting more and more outrageous. Look at the dust on the ground. You can even step on the footprints."

Eunuch Quan looked down. The floor tiles were shining. Where was the dust?

This is the imperial study. Who dares to be lazy?

But His Majesty said there was dust, so there was dust.

"I will ask them to clean it again."

"No need. They will still be the same after cleaning it again!" Emperor Xuan turned his head and looked at Eunuch Quan, "Quan Sheng, you are careful. I only trust you. You should clean it."

Eunuch Quan: "???"

"I obey your order!"

Emperor Xuan said: "Wipe the floor carefully... and wipe the tables, chairs, and shelves carefully!"

"I will go out for a while. You do your best."

Emperor Xuan stood up and left with his hands behind his back.

Eunuch Quan touched the table, it was spotless, where did the dust come from?

However, the words of His Majesty were the imperial decree, and Eunuch Quan rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

Suddenly, Eunuch Quan slapped himself lightly on the face and muttered: "Quansheng, Quansheng, you are confused. You have been with His Majesty for so long, but you did such a stupid thing."

He finally figured it out, where did the dust come from? His Majesty was obviously deliberately making trouble for him because of the letter.

He was still stupidly showing off the letter, how could His Majesty not be angry?

But Ning Chen didn't write to you, what does it have to do with me?

Eunuch Quan felt very wronged.
