Chapter 3204: Or Perhaps He Wanted Both Her and Her Possessions?
Especially when he spoke such words. They made people feel dazzled and enchanted.
To have a husband like that must be a blessing cultivated from a past life.
In Yin Qing’s heart, she did not know whether Zhuo Cheran truly valued her as a person or if he just valued the things in her hands.
Or perhaps he wanted both her and her possessions?
People who had fallen in love always doubted and suspected.
Yin Qing thought for a moment, then placed the gun in her hand into Zhuo Cheran’s palm. “Take this with you for protection.”
“What is this? I only saw you carrying it, and it looks quite heavy. It’s made of iron, and rather finely crafted.” Zhuo Cheran spoke indifferently while setting the weapon aside. His gaze never left Yin Qing.
Ning Shu listened to their tender and affectionate words, gave a dry laugh, and turned to leave.
Since Zhuo Cheran had to go suppress the rebellion and would not be in the capital, it was favorable for her plans.
Besides, a rebellion could not be quelled in a single day.Ning Shu truly suspected that Zhuo Cheran was the emperor’s illegitimate son. With so many generals in the court, why did he insist on having a prince’s heir take command?
It was clearly a way to hand Zhuo Cheran military merit.
The imperial princes: Father, we’re your real sons…
Those princes would likely not let go of such a golden opportunity. After all, he’d be facing a rebellion, and it wouldn’t be strange for him to die in battle while doing so.
Ning Shu returned to Marquis Xuanping’s residence, changed her clothes, and then sat cross-legged on her bed to cultivate.
Two days later, Zhuo Cheran led nearly a thousand soldiers to Hanyang to suppress the uprising.
Under the people’s farewell cheers, the army marched toward the city gates. From the doorway of a teahouse, Ning Shu released a burst of spiritual energy at Zhuo Cheran, who was at the front.
However, before it struck him, the horse beneath him startled. It caused Zhuo Cheran to avoid the force by accident.
Animals’ senses were the sharpest. By coincidence, this saved Zhuo Cheran from the attack.
This was the most frustrating thing about dealing with world protagonists. They were favored by Heaven itself.
Although Zhuo Cheran avoided the strike, his horse’s panic threw the formation into chaos. It took quite some time before order was restored.
Such a commotion cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts. For such an ominous event to happen before setting out was taken as heaven’s warning.
Morale dropped sharply, and the men were no longer as bold and spirited as before.
Ning Shu rubbed her face. The person she wanted to deal with was Zhuo Cheran himself. She needed to make his body suffer.
After missing her chance, she gave up.
No sooner had Zhuo Cheran left the city than the emperor sent a deputy general after him, clearly out of unease.
The court feared its army would fail to suppress mere civilian rebels. That would be truly disgraceful.
Ning Shu set down her teacup and prepared to leave. When she opened the door, she happened to encounter Yin Qing, who had been in the neighboring room.
Seeing Ning Shu, Yin Qing quickly greeted her. “Miss Su.”
Ning Shu returned the gesture. “Miss Yin.”
“Shall we have a cup of tea together?” Ning Shu asked with a smile.
Yin Qing hesitated. She was just about to agree when the maidservant beside her immediately stepped forward, blocking her and watching Ning Shu with vigilance.
“Miss Yin is not feeling well. She must return home now.”
Ning Shu did not look at the servant but turned her eyes to Yin Qing instead. “Are you unwell? Then I was being presumptuous.”
“Hongling, step aside,” Yin Qing said with some displeasure.
The maid replied at once, “Miss, the prince’s heir instructed that you should…”
“Step aside. I want to speak with Miss Su.” Yin Qing wore a polite smile. “Let’s go inside and talk.”
Ning Shu had the waiter bring fresh pastries and tea.
She said warmly, “Once the prince’s heir returns, he will be decorated with military honors. When that time comes, you will be wed with a bridal procession stretching for miles. You’ll be the most glorious of brides.”
“Miss Su…”
Yin Qing did not know what to say.
