"Faang Yi, you underestimate me, right? Then tell me, what do you have that you don't know?"
"My master knows everything. Regarding last night's matter, I'll tell you about it. However, you can't spread it out …"
Nameless Old Man had been researching medical skills alone for decades. After coming to the Fang family, he did not even think about Battle King, he only wanted to follow behind Dongfang Ning and learn from her all day.
The feeling of having a family to eat together was something he had never experienced before in his life. During this period of time, he was feeling even more deeply emotional than Dongfang Ning and the others, living a lonely life. He did not expect that he would end up with such a "home" in his later years.
"Yeah, what happened in the palace last night? Your auntie and I didn't get a good night's sleep, the sound of horses and soldiers were all outside the city, it seems like the Imperial City was surrounded. We were all frightened, so we sat in the hall and waited …"
What about you? You just returned home in the middle of the night, and before you could even get up, you were robbed by the evil people … "Howl …"
"Aiya, mother, quickly don't cry. Big sister is sitting right here right now. Let's listen to Senior Nameless talk about what happened yesterday!"
When Faang Yi saw that his mother was crying again, he immediately put his arm around her shoulders and patted her back.
Madam Wang's words caused Dongfang Ning and the other two to have another change in their hearts. They could handle the matters outside, but their families didn't know. This was a problem that they had never thought of.
No wonder Madam Wang would call for help today... It was just that she was in too much of a hurry yesterday and had forgotten to send someone home to report her safety, so she didn't care about her family's feelings.
"Mother, Mei Er is unfilial and has made you worry!"
Mei Er was the first to console them. They couldn't enter the palace yesterday, so they could only wait outside, but only after Huangfu City took them away after they were drunk did they relax a little. They had been secretly observing the palace gate the entire time, and since the two of them didn't know about the situation inside, no one came back to report on their safety.
Dongfang Ning originally didn't want Nameless Old Man to reveal this matter, but after seeing Madam Wang like this, she changed her mind.
"Mm, tell them about it. It's just that this matter is not allowed to be spread out, or else I'll be in more trouble. Only the cabinet ministers know about this, so they won't spread it around."
As for the matter that she had told them during the day in order to untie the hearts of those two girls, she believed that those two families would not spread the news either.
"Yesterday, aiya ~ that was a world shaking ~"
Nameless Old Man stood up as soon as he was approved. He frowned, put his hands behind his back, and raised his head to look at the sky. Then, he started to talk in a loud and clear voice …
"I couldn't tell that the Queen wasn't a good person. She just happened to be from Huangfu City. I know this kid. He was a general under Battle King a few years ago. He's really brave …" "Brat, quickly go outside the palace and call for me to get drunk. This woman is not a good person, I'm afraid she's going to send people to castrate my master again …
Add oil to the fire, paint and paint ~
That vivid scene made even Dongfang Ning relish in listening to it. From time to time, everyone followed suit and cried out in surprise.
"Oh my god, are there really so many snakes?"
"Big sister's really amazing. I'm not even afraid of snakes. I want to be as bold and calm as big sister …"
"If it was you, you would have been crying from fright!"
"..." I'm not crying, I'm almost nine. "
"I am a man, I must be bold in the future ~"
"What, those soldiers surrounding the city are just an illusion?"
"..." "Oh, oh …"
Here, besides Dongfang Ning and Dongfang Ning who were listening quietly, everyone else was shocked, and they would raise their heads from time to time to exclaim in shock and sigh at Dongfang Ning's cleverness. This meal lasted until the early part of the day, and everyone was still asking questions.
However, the situation in the palace was still tense. The capital was too big, and it would not be easy to investigate if there were twenty thousand people, while a lot of innocent people were killed, but what could be done, the West Ridge dweller would deepen the enmity between the two countries.
Fortunately, Dongfang Ning told Wei Xiang to go back to the palace and talk to the emperor. During dinner time, she gave the order to stop the massacre of the citizens of the West Ridge, which made all the legitimate merchants who had not been found extremely emotional. They all said that the emperor of Shan Nation was a benevolent king, no wonder the emperor of Shan Nation was so rich, and so on.
They were complaining that the Shan Nation Crown Prince had overstepped his bounds when he brought troops into the imperial city. All those who died had a hundred deaths, which family didn't have parents and children … Overnight, because of a single sentence from Dongfang Ning, the Emperor of Shan Nation had won the praise of the people of the world. This caused him to be overjoyed, and he no longer paid any attention to the matters of the princes.
The Emperor believed that as long as he was in charge, they could make no major mistakes. However, how to deal with these sons who had ill intentions should be discussed after this matter had subsided. Now, he needed servants.
If Dongfang Ning knew that the emperor was so soft-hearted, she definitely wouldn't have helped him. It would have been better for the emperor to change his Shan Nation earlier.
"Royal Father, I saved seventeen of the ministers' family members in the ruined temple today. They are all fine!"
In the evening, several ministers came to speak for themselves, as the Emperor had requested, and he had to look into the matter of the search for the false people himself.
"Well done, looks like they want these old servants to submit to them, ah, too sinister, bully my Shan Nation too much! Cha, continue investigating for me … "
"Today, this subject raided a total of a hundred and sixty-three West Ridge Nation Shops, and killed a total of West Ridge bandits …"
"…"
This so-called emperor angering him was enough to create rivers of blood. Right now, the situation was too normal, and no one would cry out injustice for him. Everyone would only blame the crown prince of West Ridge Nation for making such a huge mistake, causing them to be in such a predicament due to their Shan Nation.
"All of you have said so much, but no one has told us how many fake civilians you have captured. You didn't catch a single fake commoner? "
"This Emperor really raised a group of trash for nothing!"
"You are all deceiving me! "Trash! A bunch of trash!"
Yan Yihan had always thought highly of his own officials and was very confident of his sons. Who knew that none of the 20,000 fake civilians had been found out? According to the reports of the soldiers guarding the city gate, not a single citizen had left the city yesterday.
How could he not be angry? What were these people doing? There was oil in the shop, and in just one day, they had killed more than a hundred. They had killed hundreds of people.
"Your Imperial Majesty, please calm your anger ~"
"The officials deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
The moment he became angry, all the officials in the hall immediately kneeled down. They were all trembling, but they really couldn't find a problematic citizen.
"Prefecture Overseer, tell me, what have you all been doing all day? Why haven't a single civilian found out? These aren't two civilians, not two hundred. It's twenty thousand!" Twenty thousand! "
