The emperor watched anxiously as the imperial physician examined Ning Ding'an's pulse.
The imperial doctor shook his head and put Ning Ding'an's hand back into the brocade quilt.
The emperor was extremely anxious, "How is the general's situation? Don't just shake your head and say nothing!"
The imperial doctor was about to kneel down and report to the emperor, but the emperor quickly stopped him, "What time has it been? Don't make such nonsense, just say it!"
The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, the general suffered from heart palpitations due to excessive mood swings."
"Is it serious? Can you lead troops to fight?" The emperor had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the imperial doctor frowned and shook his head, "A general is not even suitable for riding a horse, let alone something that is particularly exciting like killing enemy troops."
The emperor couldn't help but stumble backward.
The imperial doctor was shocked, "Your Majesty, are you okay? I will check your pulse!"
The chief eunuch supported the emperor and winked at the imperial doctor, "Physician Zhang, please go out first. The emperor has servants here."
The imperial doctor understood this and quickly packed up his things and left.
When he was going out, he saw a woman coming from a distance.
The woman's clothes did not belong to any type in the palace.
It looks more like what an ordinary daughter would wear.
Adhering to the mentality that doing more is worse than doing less, the imperial doctor hurriedly lowered his head and left, pretending not to notice.
In the imperial study, the emperor was helped to the chair by the eunuch and sat down.
The emperor's eyes were slightly out of focus, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think this is God's will?"
The foreigners are ferocious, and only Ningdingan can control them.
This was verified five years ago.
I originally thought that after the battle five years ago, foreigners would not do it again.
But who would have thought that in just five years, they would be back again.
And Ning Ding'an became like this again.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if General Ning is not in good health, he can still coordinate the overall situation as a general and think of countermeasures in the tent." The eunuch consoled him.
The emperor shook his head sadly.
Ning Ding'an, who couldn't even ride a horse, if he was really allowed to lead the Ning family army to the battlefield, would he be asked to ride in a carriage the whole way?
Even if they arrive safely, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. What if Ning Ding'an gets emotional and dies directly?
Who will lead the Ning family army?
"Your Majesty—" The eunuch wanted to persuade him again.
boom!
The door to the imperial study room was broken open.
At first glance, the person lying on the ground unable to get up turned out to be the guard outside the imperial study room!
"Who is so bold!" the eunuch shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty." A cold female voice sounded.
Bai Shuang stepped in from the door, with a faint smile on her beautiful and indifferent face, "My daughter is Ning Bai Shuang."
"Ning Baishuang?!" The emperor walked out, looked at the guards on the ground, and then at Baishuang.
"What are you doing? How did you get into the palace?" The emperor looked confused.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a large group of guards with swords stood at the door.
The commander of the guards knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am late to escort you, please punish me!"
"Escort?" The emperor still didn't understand the situation.
The guard commander's fingers were white as frost, "Your Majesty, this is the woman. She wounded the guards all the way from the gate of the Forbidden City to the palace, and she claimed to be the legitimate daughter of General Ning."
The emperor was shocked, "Bai Shuang, you came all the way from the city gate?"
Bai Shuang knelt down directly and said, "Your Majesty, whatever I want to say next, I must get rid of irrelevant people."
The commander of the guards quickly said: "You must not do this, Your Majesty! This woman is extremely dangerous. In my opinion, she should be thrown into the sky prison immediately!"
Bai Shuang said: "Your Majesty, the Ning family has always been sincere. Their lifelong ambition is to protect the Emperor. Please trust me."
The emperor hesitated for a long time.
He glanced at Ning Ding'an on the bed inside and thought of what Ning Ding'an said not long ago.
The emperor finally made a decision, "Ning Baishuang will stay, and the rest will retreat."
Guard commander: "Your Majesty!"
"No need to say more." The emperor waved his hand.
The guard commander retreated angrily, giving Bai Shuang a fierce look before leaving.
The old god Bai Shuang was kneeling on the ground and didn't even look at him.
When the eunuch went out, he held up the fallen door, barely blocking the imperial study room.
The emperor looked at Bai Shuang with complicated eyes, "Okay, what you want to say can be said now."
Bai Shuang leaned down and said, "Your Majesty, I can lead the Ning family army to the battlefield."
The emperor was horrified and blurted out: "How do you know!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry about how your daughter knows.
The reason why the courtier went all the way to the palace was not to provoke the emperor, but to prove her strength to the emperor.
If the emperor wants to see it, I can defeat the group of imperial guards at the door."
The emperor looked at Bai Shuang in shock, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Bai Shuang continued: "Your Majesty, I saw the imperial doctor just leaving before I came in, so you must already know about my father's physical condition.
In his current condition, letting him lead troops to the front line would be tantamount to death.
My daughter is strong and has the confidence to lead the army.
What's more important is that my daughter's surname is Ning.
Based on this alone, I am more suitable to lead the Ning family army than other generals of the opposite sex."
The emperor couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this and moved his lips, but he didn't say anything.
"My daughter's surname is Ning. The Ning family has been loyal and loyal for generations, and everyone is loyal only to the emperor.
If the emperor cannot trust his daughter, she can make a written statement.
When I return from the victory, I will definitely return all the military power of the Ning family army to the emperor."
These words reminded the emperor of what Ning Ding'an said not long ago, and he repeated Bai Shuang's words.
Perhaps there was a preconceived notion, and the emperor already felt that Bai Shuang was a loyal person.
"My child, you get up first." The emperor personally went to help Bai Shuang.
This means that he has believed in Bai Shuang.
The emperor asked: "The sword on the battlefield has no eyes and is no better than usual. Are you really ready?"
Bai Shuang said firmly: "Be prepared at all times. My daughter can die fighting for Dongli Kingdom and the emperor at any time."
"Okay!" The emperor exhaled heavily.
"Ning Baishuang listens to the order. From now on, I will make you the general to control the barbarians, and let you lead the army on behalf of my father to wipe out the barbarians!"
Bai Shuang knelt down to thank him.
"Your Majesty, due to various considerations, I plan to disguise myself as a man and go to the battlefield.
In addition, the Zhenguo Mansion will also send a woman to disguise herself as a minister.
I hope the emperor will not reveal anything about my daughter, nor tell anyone."
The emperor also understood Bai Shuang's considerations and nodded in agreement.
…
The news that Bai Shuang had broken into the imperial study room with his bare hands quickly spread throughout the prince circle.
Before Yan Chao could finish digesting what the secret guard reported to him, Bai Shuang said something that pleased him.
Just received this explosive news again.
Yan Chao's heart tightened, and he pushed the wheelchair to go out.
"Your Majesty, please don't act rashly. Miss Ning's doing this will be a serious crime against the nine tribes!" the clear-minded secret guard stopped her.
Yan Chao's voice was hoarse, "If you want to die, let's die together."
