The Return of the Demon

Chapter 18 The Imperial Edict Arrives

Ning Xing and Ning Mao were scared out of their wits.

Chang Ruyue was also scared, her face was pale...but at the same time she realized the seriousness of the problem.

She was Ning Ziming's bedmate, and no one knew this man better than her.

Ning Ziming's Qi cultivation skills were very good, and he rarely got angry...but he was so out of control at this time, which showed that this cloak had a great origin.

"Xing'er, Mao'er, tell the truth."

This cloak was robbed from Ning Chen. If something really happened, he could just put all the responsibility on him.

Ning Mao said tremblingly: "Father, calm down, this cloak was given to me by Ning Chen."

Ning Ziming's head buzzed!

Ning Chen went out today and brought back this cloak. He was called by Emperor Xuan to be scolded again.

This means that Ning Chen went out to see Emperor Xuan today, and Emperor Xuan gave this cloak to Ning Chen.

He couldn't figure out why Emperor Xuan was so good to Ning Chen?

But the most important thing at the moment is that these two idiots stole the imperial gift and wore it.

What Ning Chen gave him? It was obviously stolen.

How could he not know what kind of character his son is? He just turned a blind eye to it.

Ning Ziming became more and more angry. He couldn't help it. He kicked Ning Mao to the ground and then kicked Ning Xing to the ground.

"I, Ning Ziming, have been wise all my life. How could I give birth to two idiots like you?"

Ning Xing and Ning Mao were trembling with fear. They had never seen their father so angry?

Chang Ruyue's face was full of heartache. She stood between the father and son, "Master, they are your own sons. Don't you feel bad if they are beaten?"

"Feel bad? Do you know that these two idiots almost killed our whole family?"

Ning Ziming roared.

Chang Ruyue was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Master, what's going on?"

"Don't ask me what's going on. Anyway, don't mess with Ning Chen in the future."

Ning Ziming also had a hard time speaking, but he didn't dare to say it.

But he didn't know that the more he said it, the more Chang's mother and son hated Ning Chen.

Ning Ziming rubbed his eyebrows irritably, his brain spinning rapidly.

While Emperor Xuan didn't know about this, he had to return the cloak to Ning Chen quickly.

And he had to find a way to prevent Ning Chen from telling anyone about it.

At this moment, the voice of Wu Guanjia sounded outside: "Master, someone is coming from the palace, let the master go to receive the order."

Ning Ziming's eyes went dark, his body shook, and he almost fell down.

His first reaction was that Emperor Xuan already knew.

Chang Ruyue hurriedly supported Ning Ziming, his face full of worry: "Master, are you okay?"

Ning Ziming's face was pale, he didn't speak, and walked out tremblingly.

Chang Ruyue, Ning Xing, and Ning Mao hurried to follow.

The imperial edict arrived, and anyone who was the owner of the Ning Mansion had to go to receive the imperial edict.

The family came to the main hall.

In the main hall, the white-faced and beardless man summoned the eunuch, and four imperial guards stood behind him.

"Sir Ning, please accept the order!"

The eunuch's voice was shrill.

Ning Ziming's family hurriedly knelt down.

The eunuch opened the imperial edict and said, "Minister of Rites Ning Ziming has failed the emperor's grace. He will temporarily retain his position to see the results. He will be fined for one year. This is the order of the emperor!"

Ning Ziming's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Although the one-year fine was a little painful, it was not important.

But temporarily retaining the position meant that Emperor Xuan was very angry and asked you to stay in the position of Minister of Rites first. If you make any mistakes again, you will be kicked out.

"Sir Ning, why don't you accept the order and thank the emperor?"

Ning Ziming took the imperial edict with trembling hands.

"I accept the decree and thank God for His grace!"

This is the power of the emperor. Not to mention just scolding, even if I kill you, you have to say thank you!

The eunuch who delivered the decree left.

But Ning Ziming knelt on the ground, his eyes dull, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He thought that the emperor had scolded him and that was it, and he was still glad that he had escaped a disaster... Unexpectedly, the imperial decree came right after.

"Master..."

Chang Ruyue called out carefully, and Ning Ziming's face was so ugly that even she began to be afraid.

Who knew that Ning Ziming suddenly stood up, rushed to Ning Xing and Ning Mao like crazy, and kicked them.

"Idiots, you two idiots, I will be killed by you sooner or later..."

Chang Ruyue hurried up to stop him.

......

The imperial palace, the imperial study.

The emperor put down the brush in his hand, and the three strategies of Ning Chen were written on the paper.

The emperor was more and more satisfied as he looked at it.

"With these three ingenious plans, the people on our border will have no worries this winter."

Eunuch Quan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. It is a blessing for the people to have your Majesty's protection."

"Stop flattering me. This is all Ning Chen's credit... I want a son like Ning Chen."

"By the way, has the messenger come back?"

Eunuch Quan hurriedly said, "Just now!"

Emperor Xuan hummed, then frowned and said, "This Ning Ziming is really confused. Ning Chen has the talent of the top scholar, but he turns a blind eye to it."

"If I don't teach him a lesson, he really thinks I have no temper."

After Ning Ziming left, he became more and more angry, and finally issued an imperial edict.

He was worried that Ning Ziming would not learn his lesson if he just scolded him.

Emperor Xuan thought for a while and said, "Nie Liang?"

Nie Liang walked in quickly from the door and knelt on one knee, "See your majesty!"

"Nie Liang, send a few people to investigate Ning Chen for me and find out why Ning Ziming doesn't like him?"

"I obey your order!"

At this time, a young eunuch walked to the door and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess want to see you!"

Emperor Xuan waved his hand, indicating that Nie Liang could leave.

Then he said to the young eunuch: "Let them in!"

After a while, the Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess came in.

The Crown Prince was thin, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, but mature and steady, and his eyebrows were very similar to Emperor Xuan.

The Ninth Princess was only fourteen years old, and she was still childish. She had a white and pointed chin, beautiful eyes with bright light under her eyebrows, black hair, and a figure that had begun to take shape. She was a beauty embryo, with big eyes blinking, and she was cute and lovely.

In fact, in this era, fourteen years old can already get married.

"Your son pays homage to the emperor!"

"You pay homage to the emperor!"

The two saluted together.

Emperor Xuan smiled and said: "Get up!"

"The Crown Prince came at the right time. I was just about to send someone to find you. Come and see this."

Emperor Xuan handed the three strategies he had written to the Crown Prince.

The prince took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good plan, good plan... This wonderful plan is a blessing for the people of my Great Xuan border."

The ninth princess Huai'an also leaned over to take a look, but lost interest after a few glances.

The Emperor Xuan smiled and asked: "Then which of these three plans do you think should be used?"

The prince's expression immediately became tangled, and after a while he said: "It's all up to the father!"

The Emperor Xuan frowned, and the smile on his face also restrained.

His son is good at everything, but he is too indecisive.

The prince didn't notice that the Emperor Xuan's face changed, and couldn't help asking: "Father, I wonder who offered this wonderful plan?"

The Emperor Xuan said: "It was Lan Xing."

"Lan Xing?" The prince thought for a while and said: "But Lan Xing who wrote that masterpiece?"

The Emperor Xuan nodded.

"Father, this man has the talent to govern the world. I want to meet him. Please allow me."

Emperor Xuan smiled. Although his son was indecisive, he knew how to use people. It was up to him.

"Okay, you will go out of the palace with me in a few days."

"Yes!"

Emperor Xuan looked at the Ninth Princess, "Huaian, do you have something to ask me?"

Princess Huaian smiled sweetly with bright eyes and white teeth.

"Father, I'm fine... I just miss you."

Emperor Xuan was very pleased. He had many sons and daughters, but when he saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Only Huaian had a cheerful personality and was eccentric. Every time he saw this girl, he felt that he was a lot younger.

So Emperor Xuan doted on the Ninth Princess.

"Father, I also want to go out of the palace. I also want to meet that great talent."

Emperor Xuan agreed with a smile.

At this time, Ning Chen, the great talent mentioned by the Ninth Princess, looked like a fool, looking at Ning Ziming and others with a confused face.

If a group of people who often bully you suddenly come to apologize to you, anyone would be stunned.
