Emperor Xuan smiled, "Your Majesty, I will make you a king if I say so." Ning Chen bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Emperor Xuan looked at him and suddenly asked, "Ning Chen, the entire capital is under your control, don't you have any other ideas?" "Your Majesty, are you talking about plotting power and usurping the throne?" Eunuch Quan and Lin Wen were almost torn apart. The two wanted to run away, this was definitely not something they could listen to. Plotting power and usurping the throne, the great crime of killing nine clans... An emperor and a minister just talked about it like chatting, are there really no people and things you care about? Emperor Xuan smiled and nodded. Ning Chen shook his head, "I never thought about it... Until your Majesty got into trouble, I was working day and night to rush back, and I was almost going crazy. How could I have time to think about these messes?" Emperor Xuan laughed, "Everyone is staring at the dragon chair... Now you have it at your fingertips, and you don't even think about it?"
Ning Chen shook his head like a rattle, "Your Majesty, what you said is not right. Not everyone wants it. I don't want to think about it." Emperor Xuan asked curiously, "Why?" Ning Chen said seriously, "First, the chair belongs to your Majesty. I will only help your Majesty to keep it safe, but I will never touch it." "Second, being an emperor is so tiring. There are endless memorials to read and endless national affairs to deal with... At night, you have to take care of three thousand beauties in the harem. Not everyone has an indestructible kidney like your Majesty." Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched, and his forehead was black. Eunuch Quan and Lin Wen broke out in cold sweats after hearing this. What dared they say? Ning Chen continued, "Third, the dragon chair represents supreme power, but it also represents loneliness... Sitting on that chair means you are destined to lose a lot, such as freedom, family, friendship, etc." "Everyone's pursuit is different. What I pursue is a little money, a loved one by my side, three or five close friends, and a drink when I have nothing to do... Life is short, enjoy it while you can, this is what I pursue." "Fourth, I grew up eating at other people's homes, and my life became even worse after I came to the capital, and I have experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature... Your Majesty has been kind to me. Your Majesty gave me my first full meal and my first thick clothes. It was Your Majesty who made me feel that this world is worth living." "So, as long as I am alive, no one can touch that dragon chair. It can only be Your Majesty... As long as Your Majesty is still sitting on that chair, I will chop off the hand of anyone who dares to move." Emperor Xuan stared at Ning Chen in a daze, "Stinky boy!" Ning Chen grinned foolishly. "Did you cry when you heard that I was in trouble?" Ning Chen raised his head, "No, I'm a general, I shed blood but not tears." Emperor Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him. Ning Chen felt guilty, "Okay... I admit that I cried, I couldn't help it." "Hahaha...!" Emperor Xuan was very happy and laughed out loud. At night, Ning Chen stood guard at the door of Emperor Xuan's palace.
In the middle of the night, Emperor Xuan woke up with a cough again. Ning Chen's face was full of worry. He suddenly remembered a little trick that might be useful. Ning Chen asked someone to bring pears, Fritillaria, and icing sugar. The method is very simple, grind Fritillaria into powder, stuff it into pears with icing sugar and steam it. In fact, Lin Wen also knows a lot of folk remedies for cough treatment, but he dare not use them for His Majesty, and only dares to treat conservatively. Because this is the emperor, if there is any problem, it will be a serious crime that the whole family will be executed. The imperial doctors in the palace are the same, they treat conservatively, and the main goal is not to make any merit but to avoid mistakes. Ning Chen brought the steamed pears back to the emperor's bedroom. Emperor Xuan got up. He couldn't sleep because of the cough. It was even more uncomfortable to lie down. His chest was stuffy. "Your Majesty, try this!" Emperor Xuan looked at the pears on the plate in Ning Chen's hand and shook his head, "I have no appetite now." "Your Majesty, this is the cough medicine I prepared for you. Your cough will get better after taking it." Emperor Xuan became interested. His chest hurt from coughing, which was really uncomfortable. Eunuch Quan hurriedly asked, "What did Imperial Physician Lin say?" "I didn't tell him that this is a folk remedy... Don't worry, I just ate one. People with colds and coughs eat this." Ning Chen brought it to Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan picked up one and took a bite, "Huh? Hollow? What's added to it?" "Fritillaria powder and icing sugar, both for treating coughs." The pears tasted good, and Emperor Xuan had a big appetite and ate two. Ning Chen smiled and said, "Eunuch Quan, eat some too. You must have inhaled the smoke at that time." Emperor Xuan said, "Yes, Quan Sheng, you eat some too." "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Lord!" Eunuch Quan also ate one. Ning Chen looked at Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty, do you feel better?" Emperor Xuan felt it for a while, "I feel a little better... I didn't expect that this pear can also cure diseases." Ning Chen smiled and said, "This is called medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as yin and yang complementation." Emperor Xuan glared at him and started talking nonsense again.
"Your Majesty, you won't cough now. Your Majesty, go to bed early... I will stay outside, you can sleep peacefully." In the second half of the night, Emperor Xuan coughed again, but the cough was not so severe... He slept relatively well in the second half of the night. The next day, after Emperor Xuan got up, he asked Ning Chen to prepare some more pears for him. Ning Chen went to prepare it immediately. For breakfast, Emperor Xuan ate two pears. "I never thought that this folk remedy is actually quite effective." "Ordinary people have their own way of living. Some things are not the best in the palace... I have prepared a lot and have preserved them with ice. Your Majesty can eat them on the way." Emperor Xuan smiled and nodded slightly, and asked: "Are you ready?" Ning Chen nodded. "Okay, let's go back to Beijing!" "Yes!" ...... The carriage drove out of the royal garden. Ning Chen rode beside the dragon chariot, and the Ning An army guarded around. "Your Majesty..." "Your Majesty, we are late to rescue you, please forgive your sins!" "Your Majesty is blessed, and we are grateful to God...!" The fifth prince and others, as well as civil and military officials, did not leave. They stayed outside the garden. Seeing Ning Chen and others come out, they swarmed over. But they were stopped by the Ning An army. Your Majesty was still alive, and they held a national funeral, and almost buried outsiders in the imperial mausoleum, wearing mourning and crying at the wrong grave...If you don't show your loyalty and save him at this time, you will be waiting to bear the anger of your Majesty when you go back. The carriage stopped. Emperor Xuan lifted the curtain on the small window of the carriage and looked coldly at the civil and military officials outside. "Let's talk about it after we return to Beijing!" He lowered the curtain after saying that. The ministers' hearts skipped a beat. If His Majesty reprimanded them now, it meant that the problem was not serious.
But His Majesty did not get angry, which meant that he would settle the accounts after returning to Beijing. The faces of the Fifth Prince, the Right Prime Minister and others were as pale as paper, as if they had lost their parents. It's over, it's all over! He originally sent people to capture Zi Su and Yu Die, wanting to use them to threaten Ning Chen. But the Ning Mansion was well guarded. In addition to the highly skilled guards, there were actually two hundred musketeers stationed there. He originally wanted to escape with the Right Prime Minister, but he found that the people from the Supervisory Department were always watching them.
