In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Chapter 374 Is she alive?

Duke Ning Guo was also at the Dingyuan Palace today. Hearing that the emperor had summoned him, he came quickly.

Seeing everyone standing outside in silence, they looked a little shocked.

His eyes swept over the boys carrying the boxes, and he was even more surprised.

Ning Guogong subconsciously looked towards the emperor, and when he saw his cold face, he realized that something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

The emperor suppressed his anger and wanted to throw the two gift lists and letters in his hand at Ning Guogong.

But when his eyes saw the familiar handwriting on it, a flash of pain flashed through his heart.

After all, I was reluctant to throw it out.

"I wonder what the emperor's orders were when he summoned the ministers?" Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Ning Guogong asked a little cautiously.

However, in the eyes of the emperor, his appearance showed a guilty conscience.

The emperor sullenly put the gift list in front of him, "Ning Guogong, please explain to me, what is going on?"

Ning Guogong still maintained his bowing posture and was confused by the emperor's direct words.

Seeing the thing in the emperor's hand being handed to him, he looked over subconsciously.

His eyes fell on the colorful butterfly, and his expression changed.

The body straightened subconsciously.

But Ning Guogong immediately realized something was wrong and tried his best to calm down.

Trying to look uninformed.

It can be said that Ning Guogong reacted quickly, but the emperor was staring at him intently at this time, so naturally he did not miss the slightest change in him.

The emperor didn't know whether he should be more happy or angry at this time.

"Ning Guogong."

Ning Guogong's heart tightened, and his face remained calm, "I wonder what the emperor asked Wei Chen to explain?"

The emperor stared at him, holding back his anger, and unfolded the gift list.

"I wonder if Mr. Ning Guo finds the handwriting on it familiar?"

Naturally familiar.

However, Ning Guogong only said these words in his heart, while he pretended to look at the words on the gift list with confusion on his face.

After reading the contents on the gift list, Ning Guogong shook his head, "Back to the emperor, this handwriting... I have never seen it before."

The emperor said nothing and stared at him.

Ning Guogong's palms were sweating, but his back was straight and he did not flinch at all.

The Emperor's aura was terrifying, and anyone could see that he was on the verge of rage.

No one knows what happened, let alone why the gift list made the emperor furious.

Everyone felt relieved.

I don't know how long the silence lasted before the emperor asked in a hoarse voice, "Is she not dead?"

Ning Guogong pursed his lips, and after a while, he raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor, "She is dead. She died twenty years ago."

No one knew who the emperor and Ning Guogong were talking about.

King Dingyuan looked at the emperor and Duke Ning, thoughtfully.

The emperor stared at Ning Guogong for a long time, and the anger in his heart suddenly broke out.

Before anyone could react, he turned sharply and pulled out the long sword from the waist of the commander of the imperial army next to him.

With a wave of his hand, a sword light was raised.

Angrily, he put his hand on Ning Guogong's neck and shouted loudly, "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"

"emperor……"

Everyone was so frightened by this incident that their expressions changed greatly. They were anxious and wanted to rush over to stop them.

Ning Chuyi's expression also changed, and she wanted to step forward as soon as she moved.

The emperor seemed to have eyes on his back. He suddenly turned around and said with sharp eyebrows, "Get out!"

Everyone made a move. My heart is like a beating drum, I am panicked and inevitably curious.

The emperor has always been most courteous to Duke Ning. What was so strange about that gift list that it actually made him so angry that he wanted to kill Duke Ning?

Ning Chuyi saw that the sword in the emperor's hand was still placed on Ning Guogong's neck, and there was even blood slowly seeping out.

He pursed his lips and raised his feet again.

The emperor was furious and wanted to get angry, but his eyes touched the eyebrows that were similar to his own. He suppressed the anger that reached his lips, suppressed his anger, and said sternly, "Back off."

Ning Chuyi stared back at him expressionlessly and did not step back.

The emperor glanced at him and withdrew his gaze, "Commander Pang."

Pang Shouzheng looked nervously at the scene in front of him. When he heard the emperor's voice, he immediately said, "I'm here."

"Let everyone step back." After a pause, the emperor added, "Stay away."

"Yes."

Pang Shou also didn't know what happened, but he had to obey the emperor's order.

He waved his hand and led the imperial guards who came with him forward, signaling everyone to move back.

King Dingyuan glanced at the emperor and Duke Ning, and was the first to turn around and leave. At the same time, he gave Ling Chu a look and motioned for her to follow.

Ling Chu wished she could stay far away, she didn't want to hear the emperor's secrets at all.

Just as he was about to leave, he discovered that Ning Chuyi not only did not retreat, but also walked towards the emperor and Ning Guogong.

When Commander Pang saw this, he complained in his heart.

But he knew that Ning Chuyi was special in the emperor's heart, so he didn't dare to take action. He just stepped in front of Ning Chuyi and stood in front of him.

Ning Chuyi still did not retreat, looking at Commander Pang with cold eyes.

Ning Guogong sighed in his heart, but there was no change on his face. He said to Ning Chuyi in a warm voice, "Yier, please step back."

Ning Chuyi did not move, his eyes moved from Pang Shou's face to Ning Guogong.

"Yier, I'm fine, please step back first."

The emperor's anger grew even stronger when he heard his friendly shouting.

As soon as the sword in his hand tightened, blood dripped from Ning Guogong's neck.

Ning Chuyi's eyes were dark and he was about to push Commander Pang away.

But suddenly he found his arms tightened.

He turned back subconsciously.

He found that Ling Chu was grabbing his arm and shaking his head at him.

The emperor's patience has been exhausted, and the emperor's coercion is fully displayed, "Everyone retreat, if you disobey, you will be killed without mercy!"

Ning Chuyi remained motionless.

Although the emperor said he would kill without mercy, Commander Pang knew that it was only for other people. He knew very well that Ning Chuyi could not move. If he dared to attack Ning Chuyi, he would be the next person to be killed.

Commander Pang looked at Ning Chuyi with pleading eyes, and almost burst into tears and begged him to leave.

Ling Chu clutched Ning Chuyi's arm tightly, she didn't want to wade into this muddy water. But she owed Master Ning so much, she couldn't just watch him die.

The emperor was furious. If he ordered Ning Chuyi to be killed, his death would be unjust.

Ling Chu didn't care what other people thought of her. He grabbed Ning Chuyi's arm and raised his head, "Master Ning, Mr. Ning Guogong will be fine. Please step back first."

Although Ling Chu was sure, he actually felt a little unsure.

She had already asked Little Hammer to attach the invisibility charm and was waiting beside Mr. Ning Guo. If the emperor was so angry that he really wanted to kill Ning Guogong, for the sake of Ning Chuyi, she could only let Little Hammer stop him.

Ning Chuyi's eyes fell on Ling Chu's face and saw her holding on to him nervously and expectantly. The arm that tried to break free did not move after all.

He pursed his lips, looked back at the emperor and Ning Guogong, and finally turned around and left.

Commander Pang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Chu gratefully.

Ling Chu sighed in his heart, turned around and followed Ning Chuyi back.

After everyone retreated, the emperor asked Ning Guogong coldly, "I know that Chu Chu is not dead. Where is she?"
