For this reason, Guan Ning could only leave and go outside. There were eunuchs waiting to take him out of the palace.

This visit was not without success, he learned a lot of information.

Let him understand that there are very complicated things behind this, but he also feels at ease.

At least it can be confirmed that Xu Ning was not in danger. She was not missing. She left on her own.

Maybe she had some last resort reasons.

Guan Ning felt that he was just like investigating a mummy case, and he was only one step away from being able to figure it out.

Feng Yuan is right.

The most important thing now is to inherit the throne.

This is what he has been working hard for for so long.

In two days, the ceremony will be held.

It's time for him to prepare.

Guan Ning left.

Feng Yuan did not leave.

Grandma Nie was still kneeling, showing great fear.

"Mr. Feng, I didn't say anything. I really didn't say anything."

She spoke directly without waiting for questions.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Feng Yuan looked at him condescendingly.

"Don't dare!"

Nie said hurriedly: "I have been hiding that secret for so many years and no one has discovered it. I really don't dare."

"You...why are you so timid!"

There was a hint of hatred in Feng Yuan's tone.

He was delaying time on purpose.

"How dare I?"

Nie said: "That involves the princess's life experience and Emperor Long'an..."

"In this palace, there are only three people who know this secret, you, me, and Your Majesty."

Feng Yuan said in a low voice: "When Empress Shuyi begged your majesty before she died, your majesty thought of the old relationship and then agreed to keep the princess alive. As empress Shuyi's personal maid, you know all the details."

"That's enough, that's enough."

Grandma Nie had a look of reminiscence.

"Princess, she has endured enough. She has suffered so much torture. Isn't it enough to repay Empress Shuyi for the crime she committed?"

This statement reveals a lot of information.

What crime?

Of course it was the crime of cuckolding Emperor Long Jing.

"You should have died long ago, but I begged Your Majesty to save your life. Your existence also prevents the princess from being discovered by others."

Feng Yuan sighed: "Now that the princess has grown up, you should die too."

As he spoke, he took out a teapot and a cup from the box he had brought.

"This is the tea given to you by His Majesty, drink it."

"Your Majesty, will you give me tea?"

Mother Nie's body trembled, and then she said in a low voice: "Actually, I have been waiting for this day, and now it's finally here."

"Princess, she is married to Guan Ning. She is a good partner. I should feel at ease."

"A good home?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and said nothing.

Let her go in peace.

Grandma Nie held up the teacup with trembling hands and raised her head.

"Manager Feng, you are a good man. I have heard all the hints you just hinted to the Prince Consort."

"It's time for you to hit the road."

Feng Yuan's face was expressionless.

"I...it's time to hit the road, and this secret will be taken away forever."

She hesitated to speak, but still didn't say anything.

Then she picked up the tea cup and drank the tea.

Her face soon became distorted with pain, and then she fell to the ground, her eyes gradually blurred...

"Manager Feng, actually... I still have a secret that I haven't told yet..."

She murmured.

"I know what secret you are talking about."

Feng Yuan knelt down and said in a low voice: "Empress Shuyi gave birth to not only one child, but actually another one, who was just secretly sent out of the palace, right?"

"You...it turns out that Mr. Feng...knows..."

Before Nie finished speaking, she completely lost her life.

Feng Yuan then stood up and sighed.

"This Aunt Nie is too careful. Even though she was like that just now, she still didn't tell Guan Ning... But Guan Ning should be able to deduce it. He can even find out such a complicated mummy case... otherwise

The princess really married Guan Zian, it’s so..."

He whispered softly, but no one heard him.

Of course Guan Ning didn't know.

After he left the palace, he went straight back home.

In the past few days, I was first looking for Xuan Ning and then investigating the mummy case. My schedule was so full that I had no time to busy myself with the matter of inheriting the throne.

Now he must cooperate with the preparations.

Because there are only two days left.

Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette had come several times but did not see Guan Ning, so they just waited for a long time.

Succession to the throne is a big event, and there will be certain ceremonies.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites came to Guan Ning to make arrangements in advance and go through a process. Many courtiers would come to watch the ceremony.

Not only officials from the Ministry of Rites, but also many people were looking for Guan Ning, either by themselves or by sending someone to come.

The general meaning is the same when it comes to handing over.

Let him live in peace for two days to ensure that he can successfully inherit the throne and nothing will happen again.

In fact, I just told him to stop being singled out for his faults.

It is not easy for Guan Ning to come to Beijing as a down-and-out heir apparent.

First, he passed the Eight Pavilion Examination in the Imperial College and got the opportunity to serve as an official in the Supervisory and Apprehending Department. Later, he made great contributions to the Deng Qiu case and was released by Emperor Longjing.

Later, he was able to inherit the throne through the rotation of six ministries.

It is absolutely unprecedented in Dakang.

In the repeated attempts to cut down the party, he withstood the pressure so that the Zhenbei Palace would not disappear...

Also on this day.

The imperial court officially announced that the Anbei Army will be formally established on the day Guan Ning succeeds to the throne. At that time, Guan Zian, the general of Zhenbei, will come to Beijing to receive the reward.

This incident spread and immediately aroused a lot of discussion.

He also covered up the mummy case very cleverly.

Under the deliberate suppression by the imperial court, such an important matter was covered up. It was as if such an important case had never happened at all, and no one paid any attention to it.

People's attention is focused on these two things.

The Zhenbei Army had long been transferred to Longzhou to suppress the bandits, and the Anbei Army was established to take on the responsibility of guarding the north, and new generals were also appointed.

So where should Guan Ning, who has inherited the title of King of Zhenbei, go?

From this point of view, the word "Zhenbei" seems to have lost its meaning.

Logically speaking, as long as you inherit the throne, you can command the army.
