Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 125 1 Please Respect Your Age

Shen Nanqiao became increasingly nervous.

If I had known that Prince Cheng was such a person, I shouldn't have let Liuyun leave rashly. He controls the Yanyun Guards, if he really wanted to do something...

Fortunately, they were already at their doorstep, so no matter how presumptuous the other party was, they would not dare to commit violence openly. This realization made her feel a little more confident.

"If the prince is really anxious, I can have someone accompany him to the palace and find my husband in the shortest possible time." She paused, "As for going to the mansion, there is no need to do that, right?"

Prince Cheng found it more and more funny.

This girl's tone of voice, expression, and even the little movements when she is on guard against others are exactly the same as her mother's.

He looked at the child and found him interesting at first, but as they chatted, he felt a little like he was seeing an old friend.

"If I insist on coming in, will you reject me?"

Shen Nanqiao intuitively felt that the other party had no ill intentions, but he did not look like a good person, so she calmed herself down.

"It's inconvenient for the prince and his close ministers to be too close. It's really not appropriate to invite you to the palace alone, especially since you have come back from your vassal state exhausted." She suggested tactfully, "How about this, I accompany the prince to the palace?"

Her big eyes were shining, as if she was giving a serious suggestion.

Prince Cheng originally had no such idea, but after hearing what she said, he nodded for some reason.

"Go get Madam Ning a new carriage!"

Shen Nanqiao had not brought her maids and nannies with her for the past two days, so it was not a good idea to go into the mansion to call for help. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the carriage alone.

Prince Cheng sat high on his horse, slowly walking in front and behind the carriage that Shen Nanqiao was riding in, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He escorted the child's mother home in the same way that year, but at that time he was certain that she would be his wife.

It's a pity that good luck tricks people.

That year, I was ordered to go to war, and not long after leaving Beijing, I lost contact with her.

The fighting on the battlefield was brutal and the war was intense, so he had no time to take care of it. It was several months later when he returned victorious.

However, when he returned to the city excitedly, he found that she had married Shen Mingde without anyone knowing.

Although it is a thing of the past and cannot be undone, the thought of this scene still makes one tense and sad.

He went to the door several times to ask, but the other party avoided him.

But before going to the war, the two were still in love and the only thing missing was talking about marriage!

He didn't understand what was going on, and even used his military achievements as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Emperor Ming, but Emperor Ming advised him that there are many better women in the world, on the grounds that she was already married.

But he just has a one-sided love for this flower!

Besides, Shen Mingde is not a good match for her at all.

Driven by this obsession, he took advantage of a drunken palace banquet and forced himself on her.

But what no one expected was that she was still a virgin.

This further proved that there was something fishy about the matter, but from then on, the other party refused to see him again.

Later, the war broke out again in the northwest, and he was ordered to go out for more than a year. When he came back, she had given birth to a baby girl.

It's not that he didn't suspect the child's origins, but he had no way to verify it.

Less than a year later, she gave birth to another son and sent someone to tell him clearly that both children had the surname Shen.

He was disheartened and asked to be transferred to another country, thinking that this would help him forget the past.

However, things went against his wishes, and after so many years, he is still single.

Originally, this past event had been buried in memory until death, but unexpectedly it was brought up by such a little girl on the first day after returning to Beijing.

Thinking of this, King Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This child, after all, has some connection with him.

Well, just treat her as the daughter of an old friend and take good care of her.

As he thought about this, the heavy stone in his heart seemed to ease a little.

Seeing that he had secured the palace gate, Prince Cheng displayed his token. The guards at the palace gate were extremely respectful, but did not relax their inspection.

When Shen Nanqiao lifted the curtain, the other party's expression immediately changed.

"Why is Madam Pingyang here at this time? Come in quickly, the old ancestor is still busy in the front."

Then he let them go readily, but left the Yanyun Guards outside.

Prince Cheng raised his eyebrows. He was a dignified prince, but he didn't even have a little girl to give him face in the palace.

The two of them changed the sedan chair.

According to common sense, one should go on a pilgrimage first after entering the palace, but Prince Cheng was raised in the Queen Mother's palace, so it is reasonable for him to go and take a look first.

As he was hesitating, Shen Nanqiao suggested in a low voice.

"Let's go to the Qianqing Palace. The emperor must miss Prince Cheng very much after not seeing him for many years." She paused, "My husband should be accompanying him right now, so we can kill two birds with one stone."

Prince Cheng was slightly surprised that this girl was so meticulous.

Emperor Ming must have received the news, so he sent a eunuch to greet him personally.

"Your Majesty has been waiting for the prince to come back!" When his eyes fell on Shen Nanqiao, he was surprised, "Why is Madam Changchen here at this time?"

Shen Nanqiao smiled embarrassedly.

"Something happened at home."

The eunuch did not dare to delay and immediately led the two men into the hall.

He hadn't returned to the capital for ten years, and most of the faces in the palace in the past seemed to have disappeared. Prince Cheng felt sad in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

Ning Su was reporting the progress of the spy operation to Emperor Ming when someone had already delivered the news of Shen Nanqiao's assassination to the palace.

At this moment, he was so angry that he had no place to vent it, but unexpectedly, he saw his young wife coming into the palace with a middle-aged man.

Noticing his gaze, Shen Nanqiao didn't care about etiquette and trotted up to him, speaking in a low voice.

"Shen Jingyi was kidnapped." As a concubine, she shouldn't have such a big face.

Ning Su patted her shoulder soothingly.

"Those are spies, coming for me, robbing them is just a convenience."

Shen Nanqiao thought about it for a moment, then reacted.

Shen Jingyi was riding alone in a carriage, escorted by factory guards. The other party must have thought that she was a lady of noble status, so they kidnapped her when they were escaping, hoping to use her as a life-saving talisman.

But she was still worried.

"She said she knew about my mother's affairs. If it got out..."

Before he finished speaking, a deep voice was heard from behind.

"What happened to your mother?"

Shen Nanqiao turned around in surprise. She spoke so softly, could the other party hear her?

King Cheng strode forward and held Shen Nanqiao's shoulders.

"You just said, what happened to your mother? Didn't she pass away?"

Before Shen Nanqiao could react, the hands on his shoulders were pushed away by Ning Su.

"Prince Cheng is very self-respecting. He is already old."

Shen Nanqiao almost laughed out loud, but then he thought again and felt something was wrong.

"Is your Majesty a little too enthusiastic?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the inner hall behind him, and Emperor Ming came out wearing an outer robe.

Everyone hurriedly saluted.

"Because he and your mother are old acquaintances." Emperor Ming sighed slightly and answered Shen Nanqiao's question, "We are old friends, so it is only natural for him to show some concern."

Shen Nanqiao's heart moved.

Old friend, is this such a coincidence?
