Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 377 Rumors Spread
The news of the crown prince's grounding quickly spread among the honorable officials in Shengjing.Those who were sure that Xuanyuan Ming would succeed did not dare to speak falsely on this matter.

Ningguo Mansion.

Ning Guogong stood in Mrs. Ning's yard with his back straight.In just a few days, he looked even older.But Mrs. Ning in front of him was not much better, looking extremely haggard.

"Ziheng, just treat it as mother begging you, and fight for the prince again." Mrs. Ning's life can be said to be glorious.The children raised by her are very promising.It's just that the next generation is a bit disappointing.But the more disappointing she is, the more reluctant Mrs. Ning is to part with it.

Seeing Mrs. Ning's appearance, Duke Ning couldn't bear to say no.

But he still couldn't help it, and said: "Mother, do you know what big mistake he made? Let's not mention the previous incident, just this incident! If he is not the prince, I am afraid that even we will be in trouble!"

"But..." How could Mrs. Ning not know.But Xuanyuan Ming is his lifeblood.

Ning Guogong was heartbroken: "How can I ask the emperor, what face do I have to ask the emperor? How can I become a wise king after doing such a thing!"

"Ziheng, are you not agreeing?" Mrs. Ning was determined to help Xuanyuanming, so she didn't listen to what her son said.What's more, there are rumors spreading outside, saying that the emperor has the intention of abolishing the prince.This is amazing, if Xuanyuan Ming is really abolished, their Ningguo government will also be in bad luck.

One prospers and all prospers, one loses all loses, under the nest, there are still eggs.

Lord Ning Guo would not be ignorant of these truths.He blushed so anxiously: "Mother, do you think the emperor will see me again? Last time, I was—"

Before Ning Guogong finished speaking, Mrs. Ning knelt down on the ground trembling.

When Ning Guogong saw it, he didn't say a word, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Ning, crying loudly: "Mother, are you trying to kill your son?"

Madam Ning insisted: "If you refuse to intercede, then I have no choice but to go to the palace by myself."

Ning Guogong stopped arguing, but pulled Mrs. Ning, and replied helplessly: "Mother, please let the son go."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Mrs. Ning was willing to sit back in her seat.And Ning Guogong's heart was also very cold. After saluting Mrs. Ning, he said lightly: "Mother, if the son has something to do, he will step down first."

Before Mrs. Ning could speak, Duke Ning left the courtyard.Madam Ning knew she was wrong, so she had to let him go.

Ning Guogong dragged his tired body and went to the palace again.This time, he stood outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony and waited for a full quarter before the eunuch beside Xuanyuan Zhen came.

"Eunuch Degui, I want to see the emperor, please inform me." Ning Guogong said to the eunuch.

Eunuch Degui is an old man beside Xuanyuan Zhen, so he is naturally aware of the changes in Xuanyuan Zhen's attitude in the past few days.However, it was difficult for him to refuse Duke Ning's request, so he could only coldly agree and turn around to leave.

The attitude of the emperor's close ministers made Duke Ning's heart cold.He knew that this time, Xuanyuan Zhen might have made a move for real.The rumors outside are not groundless.

Eunuch Degui quickly entered the hall, and said to Xuanyuan Zhen: "Your Majesty, please see Ning Guogong outside."

Xuanyuan Zhen rubbed his eyebrows: "Why are you here again?"

The noble father-in-law remained silent, waiting for Xuanyuan Zhen's order.

Xuanyuan Zhen continued to bury his head in the folder before the case, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't see you."

"Yes."

Eunuch Degui went outside the hall expressionlessly, and saw that Ning Guogong was still standing there without moving.

"The emperor doesn't want to see you now, so please invite Duke Ning to go back." Duke Degui said fairly.

Ning Guogong had expected this a long time ago, knowing that Xuanyuan Zhen would not see him.But his face was still pale, and he said: "The minister will wait here until the emperor is willing to see him."

Naturally, these words were spoken to Xuanyuan Zhen. After Degui's father-in-law returned, he told Xuanyuan Zhen the exact words.

Xuanyuan Zhen sneered: "Why, he thought I had to see him?"

Xuanyuan Zhen is the emperor, the ruler of the world.Xuanyuan Ming's failure to live up to expectations really made him sad for a long time.But the matter has come to this point, and he has recovered.If it really doesn't work, just change to another one. Anyway, there are many people thinking about this person right now.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Duke Ning Guo stood there from noon to evening, without moving his ground.

He is old and cannot be compared with when he was young.Although the mental will is still there, the body can no longer bear it.Just like that, he suddenly fell down, causing the palace people outside the palace to shout.

"Help Ning Guogong quickly!"

The emperor doesn't want to see Duke Ning, but that doesn't mean he can ignore it.Immediately, a eunuch went in to report.

When Xuanyuan Zhen learned about it, his heart was still throbbing: "Go and send the imperial physician to temporarily place him in the side hall. When he wakes up, send him back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Even Ning Guogong fainted, and the emperor didn't want to see him.The palace people called the imperial physician, and finally Duke Ning woke up after an hour.He looked at everything in front of him with cloudy eyes.

Seeing him waking up, the palace attendants beside him quickly explained: "Duke Ning, this is the side hall. You fainted, and the emperor ordered you to be sent here."

"Your Majesty, are you still unwilling to see me?" Duke Ning Guo seemed to be struggling to even speak a word.

The palace man nodded.

In the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xuanyuan Zhen also learned from the imperial doctor that Ning Guogong had woken up.

"Duke Ning's body has been worse than before in recent years. He has become sick from worry, and with the old injuries from before, he doesn't have a few years to live. With today's fainting, I'm afraid he won't have much time."

This imperial physician is Xuanyuan Zhen's most trusted imperial physician, so he firmly believes in it.It's just that Xuanyuan Zhen couldn't bear the thought that Ning Guogong's old injury came for him, even if he was hard-hearted.

"Forget it, I sent someone to take him back to the mansion. After a while, you go back with him so that you can take care of his body." Xuanyuan Zhen was upset, and ordered the imperial physician.

"Yes, I understand." After the imperial doctor saluted, he slowly stepped back.

Ning Guogong was carried back to the mansion. When Mrs. Ning learned that, she immediately ignored herself and rushed to the front yard to see how Ning Guogong was doing.Knowing that Duke Ning had been standing in the palace all afternoon and the emperor hadn't seen him, Mrs. Ning wept unceasingly.

Ning Guogong just woke up, his body was still very weak, he just said to Mrs. Ning comfortingly: "Mother, don't cry, your son is not filial, he can't accomplish anything."

"No, it's all mother's fault!" Ning Guogong is the eldest son of Mrs. Ning, how could she not feel distressed when she saw her eldest son lying on the bed.

Ning Guogong shook his head: "I don't blame my mother."

"Ziheng, mother is not a fool, how can she not know what you are thinking. But if you ignore the prince, our Ningguo government will be finished!"

Ning Guogong opened his mouth, but he couldn't say that it was over when it was over.In the entire Ningguo Mansion, there are not many people who have relatives or relatives.If Xuanyuan Ming can't take that position, many people who don't even want to do it will suffer.

He is already a dying person, so naturally he doesn't care about these things.But what about those descendants?They still have great times and a bright future ahead.

"Mother, Ziheng doesn't know what you think. But you also know what happened today. The emperor refuses to see me, even if I faint." Ning Guogong said helplessly.

Mrs. Ning took Duke Ning's hand and said, "Your body is not suitable for hard work anymore. Take care of your body first and see what the emperor will do next."

"Yes, mother."

Mrs. Ning came out of Ning Guogong's courtyard and was not in a hurry to go back.Instead, he said to the nanny next to him: "Mommy Wang, tell me to prepare the sedan chair."

"It's so late, where are you going?" Mother Wang asked in surprise.After Mrs. Ning got older, she seldom went out again.One is that it is inconvenient, and the other is that it will be bad if you touch it.

Mrs. Ning said: "Go to the Prince's East Palace."

"Madam, His Royal Highness has been grounded. This, I'm afraid it's not good." Wang Momo hesitated.

Madam Ning glared at Wang Momo: "What's wrong, he was grounded, not me."

No one in Duke Ning's mansion dared to object to what the old lady said.Therefore, Mother Wang had to ask the people below to prepare.

The crown prince's East Palace was gloomy because of Xuanyuan Ming's grounding.When Mrs. Ning arrived at the door, several imperial guards sent by the palace checked her.

"This is Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning, the grandmother of His Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Momo reminded.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Ning, the several imperial guards could not stop them, so they could only say: "Mrs. Ning, please come in."

When Mrs. Ning saw this battle, she didn't even care about getting angry, so she rushed into the front yard in a hurry.After Xuanyuan Ming was grounded, he rarely came out.Knowing that Mrs. Ning was coming, she hurried out to greet her.

"Grandmother!" Seeing the old lady approaching, Xuanyuan Ming was so full of grievances that he wished to pour out all of them.

But no one expected that the first thing Mrs. Ning did after seeing Xuanyuan Ming was to slap him hard!

Xuanyuan Ming held his cheeks in disbelief, but didn't even dare to vent his anger.Even Xuanyuan Ming could only live by the elder's lesson.What's more, the person in front of him is his grandmother who loves him the most.

"grandmother."

"Don't call me grandma!" Mrs. Ning said anxiously, "Do you know that because of the stupid things you did, your uncle stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony all afternoon for you and fainted!"

"I don't know." Xuanyuan Ming really didn't know, he was grounded now, and the news was not as well-informed as before.

Madam Ning beat her heart: "His Royal Highness, if you care about my grandmother at all, please stop doing such unwise actions!"

"Grandmother, I understand." In front of Mrs. Ning, Xuanyuan Ming didn't dare to take it too seriously.Most of his crown prince is so stable because of Ning Guogong.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ming's attitude was acceptable, Mrs. Ning reluctantly said, "Go in and talk."

"Yes." Xuanyuan Ming hurriedly dragged Mrs. Ning to the front hall to sit down.
