In the end, Wu Zhao didn't listen to Ning Chen's explanation of why he didn't pay for going to Lanxiang Pavilion in terms of equality between men and women.
When Eunuch Sun saw Ning Chen off from the East Palace, he handed Ning Chen a green jade melon.
"Eunuch Sun, isn't this appropriate? I haven't given you anything as a gift, so why are you so embarrassed to give it to me?"
Ning Chen said as he put the jade melon into his sleeve.
Eunuch Sun looked at Ning Chen's actions, his eyes twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: I didn't notice that you were embarrassed at all.
"His Highness asked you to help deliver this to the fifth prince."
The imperial edict has not been announced yet, so it is not wrong for Eunuch Sun to still call him the fifth prince.
After hearing what Eunuch Sun said, Ning Chen awkwardly took out the jade melon from his sleeve: "I misunderstood. I thought this was the deposit for your Highness to ask me for help."
Eunuch Sun was also speechless.
This is the first time I see Ning Chen like this.
Others are rushing forward, fearing that it won't be their turn to help.
Ning Chen is still thinking about asking for money for help.
Ning Chen looked at the melon in his hand and saw nothing special except that it was valuable.
"Eunuch Sun, didn't you say that the relationship between your highness's two siblings is not harmonious?
Giving this jade melon is a farewell gift.
Do you want to ridicule the fifth prince, saying that you will no longer have the throne?"
Eunuch Sun:Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
After calming down, Eunuch Sun said: "This is His Highness's family matter, I don't know about it. I just follow the instructions."
Ning Chen didn't believe it because he didn't know what Eunuch Sun was going to say.
However, Ning Chen could see that Eunuch Sun was very strict with his words, and it was not easy to get words out of Eunuch Sun.
After leaving the East Palace, Ning Chen went home directly.
Eunuch Sun returned to Wu Zhao.
"Your Highness, the jade pendant has been handed over to Lord Ning."
Wu Zhao nodded and said to Eunuch Sun: "Deploy a team of people to protect that idiot. No one can let that idiot die except me."
Eunuch Sun immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
…
After Ning Chen returned home, he found that in addition to Fatty Wan, the fifth prince, Sun Jia and Sun Yuxiang were also there.
Seeing Ning Chen come in, the fifth prince and Sun Yuxiang immediately stepped forward and saluted Ning Chen: "Wu Xian thanks Master Ning for his generous action and saved my marriage with Xiang'er."
Sun Yuxiang then said: "Xiang'er thanks Lord Ning for saving my father's life. Without Lord Ning, Xiang'er would have been in great trouble."
Obviously, the fifth prince already knew from Sun Jia what decision Sun Jia would have made if he had not met him.
After the two of them finished speaking, Sun Jia stepped forward and said to Ning Chen with an apologetic and ashamed look on his face: "Master Ning, I really don't know what to say. I really don't know how this unfilial daughter can
Doing such a stupid thing almost puts Master Ning in deep danger."
Sure enough, among these people, Sun Jia is the only honest person.
But now that the fifth prince is here, Ning Chen is also curious about what this guy is thinking.
Wu Zhao made sarcastic remarks to him every day, and even kicked him out of the palace before he came of age. Folks even said that Wu Zhao wanted to kill him.
What did this guy think in the end, and how did he help Wu Zhao in the end?
After Wu Xian heard Ning Chen's question, he didn't hide it anymore.
"Outsiders say that the imperial sister hates me and hates me for killing my mother.
But only I know that Sister Huang is just protecting me in another way.
The queen mother is the queen of my father, and the queen mother died because of giving birth to me.
If we follow normal logic, I will be the best choice for the crown prince.
But at that time we no longer had a queen, and my father was already showing signs of being obsessed with immortality.
As an infant, I had no mother to protect me.
He has also become the best choice for the prince, you should know what this means."
Ning Chen understood that the battle for the throne was extremely cruel.
If these five princes were indeed established as princes while still in their infancy, and without the protection of the Virgin Mary, the probability of their death would be extremely high.
"Then your sister's beating, scolding, and humiliation of you are all just pretending?" Ning Chen continued to ask Wu Xian.
Wu Xian shook his head and said: "I can see that the emperor's sister is not pretending. She really hates me because my mother died after I was born."
Even Wu Xian could tell that she wasn't pretending, so Ning Chen really didn't understand.
This guy's brain was broken by Wu Zhao.
Wu Xian continued: "Although the emperor is not pretending, the emperor only allows her to hit me, scold me, and humiliate me. She will never allow others to hit me."
Ning Chen understood that it was okay to scold and humiliate others, but not to hit him.
"Maybe she just wants to kill you with her own hands." Ning Chen said casually.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Xian said very seriously: "If I can really die at the hands of the imperial sister, I will die without regrets.
Ever since I can remember, I have heard that my mother is such a virtuous and virtuous queen.
They even said that if the queen were still alive, the father would not be so obsessed with practicing Taoism.
They all say that I am an unlucky person.
So I thought, if I can help the royal sister secure her position as heir apparent.
When the emperor really becomes a great treasure in the future, then the emperor may be able to kill me without any scruples and avenge my mother."
Ning Chen really didn't expect that Wu Xian's idea would be so weird.
However, judging from the childhood experiences Wu Xian revealed, it is understandable that he has such thoughts.
After all, he has been an ominous person since he was a child. He doesn't even want to see his sister, and his psychology may become distorted in that direction.
It's just that the twisted direction of this thing is more embarrassing to myself.
"Wulang, if you die, I will accompany you." Sun Yuxiang came over, took Wu Xian's hand, and said sincerely.
Wu Xian smiled and said to Sun Yuxiang: "I guess I won't have to die. Tomorrow I will be demoted to a commoner and will be nothing. I am not even qualified to be her brother, and she probably won't remember me anymore."
Who is it?"
Sun Yuxiang nodded: "Hello, common people, this way we can always be together."
Ning Chen looked at the four little girls behind him who were moved to tears and really couldn't figure out why this dog food was so delicious.
"This is the jade melon that your sister asked me to give to you. From now on, she will never love you again." Ning Chen took out the jade melon and handed it to Wu Xian, preparing to send Wu Xian away.
Ning Chen felt heartbroken when he saw this guy.
But when Wu Xian saw the jade melon, he suddenly became excited.
