That day, Ning Chen accompanied Emperor Xuan for a walk. When they arrived in front of the burning palace, Emperor Xuan's face was as gloomy as water. He glanced at Ning Chen and said, "I heard from Quan Sheng that you kept all the civil and military officials out?" Ning Chen nodded, "Yes!" "Because of this strange fire?" Ning Chen hummed, "Your Majesty, this is just one of the reasons. Your Majesty has been weak recently, and I was afraid that they would affect your recovery, so I took the initiative to keep them out." Although Ning Chen didn't say anything? But Emperor Xuan knew in his heart that the fire was strange. Recently, from the princes to the ministers, no one came to visit him. Emperor Xuan knew very well, what was Ning Chen guarding against? Emperor Xuan frowned, "This fire was man-made, right?"
Ning Chen nodded, "Yes!" Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice, "Who is it?" Ning Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, don't think too much about anything now. The most important thing is to get well soon... I will reveal the answer to you when we return to the capital." Emperor Xuan glared at Ning Chen, "You dare to keep me in suspense? Tell me who it is? I want to know now." "Your Majesty, the witnesses and evidence are all in the capital." Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly. Ning Chen said, "Your Majesty, let's go to the pavilion in front to rest for a while?" Emperor Xuan nodded, "Okay!" After arriving at the pavilion, Emperor Xuan sat down and Ning Chen asked someone to serve tea. "Ning Chen, you sit down too!" Emperor Xuan drank half a cup of tea and pointed to the stone bench opposite. Ning Chen walked over and sat down. "Ning Chen, return to the palace tomorrow." Ning Chen looked at Lin Wen, "Your Majesty, can you handle the long journey?" Lin Wen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has almost recovered. As long as you are not in a hurry on the road, there will be no problem." Ning Chen hummed, looked at Emperor Xuan, and smiled, "I will arrange it right away and return to Beijing tomorrow!" Emperor Xuan put down the teacup, looked at Ning Chen, and asked, "The entire capital is under your control now, right?" Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Yes, I am ordered to lead the Weilong Army and the City Defense Army. Isn't the entire capital under my control?" Next to him, Eunuch Quan and Lin Wen were so scared that their faces turned pale and their legs went weak... Is this what they can listen to?
The subtext of Emperor Xuan's words is, is it easy for you to rebel now? Ning Chen's words can be summarized as...Yes, it is indeed easy for him to rebel. Ning Chen said with a smile: "I am now extremely powerful. A few days ago, I had the Right Prime Minister beaten up. His face was swollen and his mouth was broken. I guess he won't be able to speak for a few days." Eunuch Quan and Lin Wen were sweating profusely. Is Ning Chen crazy? A minister told the emperor that he was extremely powerful. There must be something wrong with his brain. Emperor Xuan was just stunned and asked: "Why?" Ning Chen said: "Because the Right Prime Minister called your Majesty the late emperor." Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly darkened. "Damn it, does he think I'm dead?" Ning Chen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not just the Right Prime Minister... Everyone thinks Your Majesty is dead!" Emperor Xuan's face was as gloomy as water, "Is there anything else I don't know?" "Your Majesty, can you promise me one thing?" "You say." Ning Chen knelt down and said, "There are indeed many things that Your Majesty doesn't know... Your Majesty has been weak recently. I am worried that Your Majesty will be stimulated, so I ordered the news to be blocked from Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." "I will tell Your Majesty everything now, but please don't be angry, the dragon's body is important." Emperor Xuan looked at him, "Get up, I forgive you!" If it weren't for Ning Chen, he would have been trapped to death in the cellar long ago. Ning Chen blocked the news for his health... If he punished Ning Chen for this, wouldn't he become a tyrant? "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ning Chen stood up and immediately told His Majesty everything that had happened recently. Succession in front of the spirit? National mourning? Mistaking the killer for him and almost burying him in the imperial mausoleum? Emperor Xuan was so angry that his eyes went dark and he started to cough violently. Ning Chen and Eunuch Quan hurried forward to help Emperor Xuan calm down. "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down..." "Your Majesty, we agreed not to be angry, calm down, fortunately everything is over." Emperor Xuan coughed and cursed: "Assholes, a bunch of assholes..."
Ning Chen and Eunuch Quan comforted him for a long time, and Emperor Xuan's anger subsided a little. But he kept coughing. "Imperial Physician Lin, quickly... think of a way." Lin Wen was at a loss. Your Majesty's illness can only be cured slowly, there is no immediate solution. Emperor Xuan waved his hand, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips. After a while, his cough was not so severe. But his face was very ugly. Fortunately, Ning Chen blocked the news from him. If he knew this when he was at his weakest a few days ago, he would be angry to death. Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, "All the civil and military officials in the court believed that I was dead, why did you insist on an autopsy?" Ning Chen smiled and said, "Because I had a dream on my way back to the capital... I dreamed that Your Majesty was surrounded by golden dragons, which is a good omen." Emperor Xuan laughed, "Just based on a dream?" "Of course not! The most important thing is that I believe that good people are blessed by heaven. Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch throughout the ages, and God will bless you... Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will never believe that Your Majesty will die." Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, his face full of relief. But he was afraid. If Ning Chen hadn't gone against all odds and proved his true identity...he and Eunuch Quan would have died. He could imagine how much obstruction and pressure Ning Chen had endured at that time. "Good boy, I have to thank you very much... What do you want?" Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has given me enough. I want Your Majesty to be healthy... If Your Majesty feels bad, you can reward me with tens of thousands of taels of gold." Emperor Xuan glared at him and scolded him with a smile: "You are useless!" "When we return to Beijing, I will make you a king." Eunuch Quan and Lin Wen were shocked. Make you a king? In the history of Daxuan, there were kings of different surnames, but those were all kings who followed the founding emperor to fight for the country and made great military achievements. They were made kings after the founding of the country and are now dead. After that, there has never been a king. Ning Chen was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, can I marry a princess after being crowned as a king?" Emperor Xuan shook his head, "No!" Ning Chen thought about it and said, "Then I don't want it." Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched, "Are you sure? Except for a few kings of different surnames when the country was founded, there has been no more since then." Ning Chen said seriously, "If it was before, I would definitely not refuse... But now, I have feelings for the Ninth Princess. Although the status of the prince is precious, it is not as important as the Ninth Princess." Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen with a face full of relief.
"I lied to you, a king of different surnames can marry a princess... But since you refused, I won't force it, let's forget about the crowning." Ning Chen: "..." Fuck! ! ! This old man, can he still play like this? He complained in his heart, but his face looked indifferent, "If your Majesty gives it, I will take it. If your Majesty doesn't give it, then I don't want it... Anyway, everything I have is given by your Majesty, and I have received enough. It doesn't matter whether I am crowned as a king or not."
