Chapter 243: Knock on Her Royal Highness the Princess!
Bai Jingxing touched the ash of his nose, and could no longer find a reason to detain Ning Ke, so in the end, he could only entertain Ning Ke with the courtesy of a princess, and then retreated.
When Ning Ke returned to the room, he still hadn't come back to his senses, and Chun Yuyan and the others also looked shocked, and they didn't digest it for a long time.
"Little Keke...... Is it really the princess of Xishu?" Chun Yuyan stared at his dark eyes, his face full of surprise and excitement.
Yin Qiushui nodded solemnly, "Yes....... From the first time I saw the princess, I was already suspicious. It wasn't until I saw the Empress's relics that I was sure. ”
"Relic?" Ning Ke blinked, not knowing what the relics she was talking about, because she had a few in her own hands, and the hairpin that Ning Wei gave her on the day she got married, she had worn it once.
Could it be that hairpin?
Yin Qiushui smiled slightly, "It's a hairpin, it is an ebony hairpin handmade by the emperor for the queen, and there are words engraved by the emperor on it, the princess can take it out and see if there is a mysterious character." ”
Ning Ke asked Qingqiang to take it, and when she took a serious look, there was indeed a small character on the top of the hairpin! If you don't pay attention, you will think it's just a pattern!
So, this proves that Liu Xueqiong and Ning Wei are not her biological parents, but just left to protect her, and then raised her under the city of Kyoto for more than ten years......
And Ning Wei didn't mean to treat her badly, but he didn't want her to be too sharp, so he let her disguise herself as a weak and incompetent ugly girl straw bag, and from then on, there was no goddess prodigy in Kyoto, only the ugly lady of Ning Guo's mansion!
No wonder...... No wonder Ning Wei's attitude changed after she woke up, forbearance and deepness, probably too much bitterness was unspeakable, which made him such a serious old man.
Thinking of this, Ning Ke felt a burst of guilt for Ning Wei inexplicably, she couldn't remember too many things about her predecessor, but just Ning Wei's loyalty was really impeccable, but she had always looked down on him, and it was not until later that she eased up.
I don't know if it's telepathy, when Ning Ke looked up at the door, there happened to be a blue-gray figure standing at the door, as serious and condensed as in his memory, but this time, there were already old tears on that serious face.
After years of dormancy and forbearance, I finally saw the light of day!
Those nightmares and worries that come back every midnight are finally no longer afraid to come back!
The secret that can't be said, the pain in the heart...... Everything is no longer a dark area under the water, and it is finally presented under the sun, and it is a relief!
"Thank you......" Ning Ke raised the corners of his lips slightly, and for the first time with such a respectful and admiring attitude, "Thank you for your forbearance and protection for many years, fortunately, I finally understand that I have lived up to all the people who have suffered for me." ”
Ning Wei's expression was shocked, and his body trembled, as if there were thousands of words accumulated in his heart, and he wanted to burst out, but he was suppressed by him.
No matter how many words she has, it can't match her "understand"!
As long as she understands his hard work, as long as she understands that it is not easy to live, as long as she understands!
The white eyes and grievances he has suffered over the years have disappeared, and after carefully hiding for so many years, he can finally see the light of day again, no longer the traitorous Ning Guogong, but the loyal commander of the Imperial Forest Army in Xishu back then!
His lips trembled rapidly, Ning Wei restrained his excitement, and finally knelt down, bowed to Ning Ke with the courtesy of General Xishu, and shouted loudly-
"Ning Wei, commander of the Imperial Forest Army, knock to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
His deep, choked voice sounded loudly in the room, and it seemed as if the whole house was trembling with it!
When everyone looked at this scene, their hearts were also extremely shocked, and they almost couldn't help but redden!
In Dayan, everyone knows that Ning Guogong is a traitor, when the Great Yan Emperor Chu Lingyue seized the throne, Ning Wei, the commander of the Western Shu Imperial Forest Army, took the initiative to ask Ying to take refuge in Chu Lingyue after the death of the first emperor of Xishu, and helped Chu Lingyue to win the throne of the emperor of Dayan, and he himself got the title of Duke of Ningguo!
Two or three years later, people also knew that this Ning Guogong went to the Xishu border to quell the chaos and brought back his former good friends and daughters, that is, Liu Xueqiong and Ning Ke......
Because Liu Xueqiong and Ning Ke did not live well in the Guogong Mansion, they were often oppressed by Ning Yu's mother and daughter, so Ning Wei's reputation plummeted even more, and he became a shameless person who betrayed the country to seek glory and abandoned his family and children!
It wasn't until now that everyone present knew what he had been carrying, in order to leave the royal blood, he did not hesitate to go away to become a traitor, and in order to hide people's eyes, he also married the daughter of a family he didn't love, so as to give Ning Ke the best and safest shelter!
So faithful, so resilient, how many people in this world can do it?
Now, this loyal and humiliating commander has returned, and everyone is deeply shocked when they hear the shout he wants to say but has not been able to say!
"Ouchi guard Li Yi!
"Ouchi Guard Huang Hu!
"Ouchi guard Lin Yueyun!
......
For a while, countless people in the room knelt down one after another and shouted in unison! The cries were neat and unanimous, magnificent and loud, and resounded through the sky!
Ning Ke froze on the spot, already in his heart, and burst into tears.
From the time she came to this world, she already knew that her predecessor must be hiding some secrets, and she already knew that everything would not be simple!
However, she really didn't expect that she seemed to be so lonely and helpless, but there were so many people around her who had been silently guarding her! For her, I don't know how many people have paid for their lives and how much infamy they have endured!
She's just a ghost from another world! her predecessor has long since passed away, and they don't know it. She couldn't imagine that everyone who had worked hard for so many years would know...... What a disappointment that must have been!
"Xiao Ke'er, let's go!" There was a burst of warmth in his palm, Ning Ke turned his head, Chu Junyue beside him looked firm and encouraging, he smiled, "Go ahead! Go and accept the title that belongs to you! They have been waiting for this day for a long time." ”
With his encouragement, Ning Ke's heart was a lot more stable, he was right, they had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Let her, then, accept this crown for her! and bear the thorny road for her!
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ning Ke straightened his back, his face was cold and solemn, and he slowly raised his hand with the majesty of a princess, "Everyone, no courtesy!"
"Thank you, Princess Longen!"
When everyone flattened down, and when they raised their heads again, all faces, whether familiar or unfamiliar, had already burst into tears.
Until a long time passed, many people still did not come back to their senses, and they always thought it was a dream.
Even Ning Ke herself, when everyone dispersed, she still sat stupidly in front of the window with the parchment roll and ebony hairpin, and didn't move for a long time.
"Xiao Ke'er, it's almost dawn, let's go to sleep for a while!" Chu Junyue walked over and put on a snow-white fox fur for her, and his big palms fell on his shoulders, warm and reassuring.
Ning Ke raised his head, put his little hand on the back of his hand, and smiled slightly, "I can't sleep, chat with me for a while, okay?"
"Good. Chu Junyue smiled gently, sat down beside her, let her lean on his shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ning Ke shook his head, "No, I just feel that all this is coming too quickly." Although I had a hunch, I didn't expect it to be ......" She held his fingers slightly hard, and sighed in a tone, "Now that there is civil strife in Xishu, everyone wants to ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five, and my arrival is ...... I'm afraid it will be bloody again. ”
"Then I'll help you shelter from the wind and rain, and never let you get wet from the wind and rain. Chu Jun crossed.
Ning Ke's heart warmed, and he leaned on his chest more comfortably, and said with a smile: "I know that you are helping me, but there will be movement in Kyoto soon, but I am afraid that you will not be able to take care of it." What's more, Li Yi and Old Man Hu brought me back, but I am afraid that it is not to recognize me. ”
There was only one queen in the first queen's palace, and there were no heirs except her, and Old Man Hu and others probably wanted to take the throne for her!
Xishu is not like Dayan, the people are fierce, but they are also open-minded, and there has been a precedent for the empress before, so as long as she can recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, this throne can only be hers.
But how could those wolf careerists let her go back to the capital alive?
Before leaving, Bai Jingxing said that he would report to the capital to meet her, but he was afraid that he was causing trouble for her!
"Xiao Ke'er, you don't have to think about anything, you just do what you want. Chu Junyue held her face and said seriously: "For the rest, you still have me, and they ...... You've got your backing. ”
"Well, so I can't let you down. ”
Ning Ke clearly knew how much they had sacrificed and how much they had endured in order to protect her.
The emperor only accepted the queen alone despite the obstacles, and the nobles and high-ranking officials of the dynasty lost the opportunity for their daughters, and they also lost the opportunity to go further, so they naturally had a lot of grievances.
Until the queen gave birth, those people couldn't wait after all, and took the opportunity to kill the queen, but fortunately, Yin Qiushui and his father had excellent medical skills and extended the queen's life to give birth to her. And there were countless people who pursued and killed her, the first emperor had too many enemies, and was sad and sick for the queen's death, and the little princess could not take care of it, so she could only be handed over to the hands of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.
Liu Xueqiong is Yin Qiushui's cousin, studying medicine under the old city lord Yin, Ning Ke was raised in her hands at that time, and it was not until Ning Wei gained a foothold in Kyoto that Liu Xueqiong took her over.
In a flash, it is more than ten years.
Now, it's time for her to repay them, and she can't let down the dead souls and the living heroes.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Ke stood up, looked in the direction of the capital, and announced word by word, "I'm here!
