Chapter 471: 471

That night, Shen Ninghua started a fever, the whole person burned in a daze and only felt a terrible pain in her chest. This can be Hongling and green bird and other people scared, sleepless all night to guard her, even if she just wooing a sound also shocked body cold sweat constantly.

In the harem, Tai Consort Qi had just finished freshening up and was about to go to rest when the palace gate suddenly entered to inform, “Your Highness, Prince De is here.”

Qi Tai Guifei’s eyes moved, could not help but slightly close her eyes, the whole person mixed with a wave of anger and disappointment, the complexity of the emotions is difficult to describe, for a while did not answer the voice.

The palace maid on the side did not wait for a long time for a reply, and could not help but raise her voice again to ask, “Your Highness, Prince De …”

“Let him in.”

Baili Jinze was wearing a green colored robe, and after entering the door, he respectfully bowed to Imperial Concubine Qi, “My son has met mother consort.”

Tai Consort Qi did not call up, but carefully sized him up for a long time, “It’s this late in the day, what are you doing here?”

“Mother Consort, you’ve heard about the recent events in the palace, haven’t you?”

“Good, I’ve heard that, what’s that got to do with you?”

“Mother Concubine, you want my son to be safe and free, I wanted to comply with your wishes, but now you’ve also heard that the Emperor has been injured and disappeared, Lao San and Lao Si are forcing their way into the palace and are being imprisoned by the Empress, the situation at the borders is unclear, and the hearts of the people in the country are unstable, the Da An Kingdom is in a time of turmoil, so how can my son just sit back and do nothing?”

Tai Consort Qi’s fingers hidden in her sleeves tightly clenched into fists, the veins on the back of her hands exposed, “There are soldiers and generals to fend off the turmoil at the borders, and there are a hundred officials to pacify the instability at home, you are now without martial arts skills, and your body is far inferior to what it used to be, even if you reach the borders, so what? Can you change the war situation?”

Baili Jinze raised his head and looked at Tai-Guifei Qi with a firm gaze, “Mother consort, my son doesn’t dare to assert, but at least he can keep the borders of Da An Kingdom safe and stable!”

Tai Consort Qi gritted her teeth, her face turning slightly white, and finally couldn’t help but coldly question, “Did you go to the border for the sake of Da An Guo?”

Baili Jinze shifted his eyes slightly, not knowing how to answer.

Qi Tai Guifei couldn’t help but laugh ruefully, “Sure enough, this palace really didn’t guess … Jinchuan wrong, in the end to be confused until when? That Shen Ninghua is that worthy of your thoughts, even if she is now the Empress, you still can’t let go of her? Even if she is now the Empress, you still can’t let go of her, and you even want to go back to war for her?”

“Mother consort, my son is not only for Shen Ninghua …”

“Not for her? What else could it be if not for her? Jinchuan, this palace is your birth mother, can this palace not understand you? From the moment I heard the news of Baili Junyi’s disappearance, I knew that you would come back to see me sooner or later, I never expected you to come so quickly!”

Qi Tai Guifei was furious and trembling, if she could wake him up, she would have already gone up and painfully slapped him a few times, but he was in such a state today, that she was afraid that an axe and battle-axe would not change her inner thoughts:

“Jinchuan, this palace is your birth mother, for the sake of this palace, can’t you be your prince in peace? As long as it’s not Shen Ninghua, what kind of woman do you want, this palace will help you find one from all over the world, as long as you can live peacefully, whatever you want mother consort will help you realize it!”

Baili Jinze suddenly bent down and kowtowed deeply to Qi Tai Guifei, “My son is unfilial, I beg Mother Consort to fulfill my wish!” He lost everything, now has nothing to ask for, the only thing he can not let go is the obsession with Shen Ninghua, in addition to her, he does not want anyone!

Qi Tai Guifei violently stood up, stepped forward and slapped at Baili Jinze, she hit with all her strength, instantly leaving a red slap mark on his face, “Get lost, hurry up and get out from right in front of this palace’s eyes!”

Baili Jinze knelt down and straightened his body, once again kowtowing to Qi Tai Gui Fei, “My son thanks mother consort!” After saying this, he fiercely got up and walked outward in large strides.

Qi Tai Guifei froze for a while before exhausting her entire body’s strength and generally falling into a chair, tears rolling down her face, “Sins, sins ah!”

Only in the latter half of the night did Shen Ninghua’s fever finally subside. She opened her eyes, only to feel a candlelight haze in front of her, “Hongling?”

“Your Highness, you are awake, wonderful.” Hongling helped her sit up, took a pillow and padded it behind her, “You have been sleeping for most of the day, the two little masters have been accompanying you, it was the slave girl who saw that you had a fever and was afraid that the sickness would spread over, so she had them carried to the side hall, the third prince has also already let the nurse nurse feed him, and is now asleep as well.”

Shen Ninghua nodded, and only after a moment of acclimatization did her dizzy mind clear up a bit, “What time is it now?”

“In less than two hours, it will be dawn.”

“Has any news of Baili Junyi come through?”

Hongling slightly bit her lip, “No, the slave girl has already had people go to investigate, it’s just that it’s a long way to travel and it will still take time.”

Shen Ninghua was a little shaken by the words, thinking that just now in her dream, she seemed to be deep in the mist, clearly able to hear Baili Junyi’s voice, but how could she not find his silhouette. That feeling of despair deeply enveloped her, even if she was already awake, she could still feel a burst of powerlessness.

After a while, Shen Ninghua opened her mouth, she now needed to divert her attention, otherwise she was afraid that she would drive herself crazy, “I slept for too long, now I can’t sleep, take some zhangzhi to have a look.”

“Your Highness, there’s nothing urgent in this period of time except for the matter of the Emperor’s disappearance, you’d better get well first.”

Shen Ninghua shook her head, “The Emperor has disappeared, the border is already in danger, the country can’t afford to have another accident, the more this critical moment, the more careful and prudent we have to be, I’m afraid that some people will be silent and make trouble, and disturb the people’s heart.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Until dawn, Shen Ninghua a book looked at the zhang folders, without the slightest impatience, just each read a time much longer than usual, sometimes, a zhang folders to repeatedly read a few times, before approving on a few words, until Hongling reminded her to go to the court of the time is up, she snapped back to the focus, can not help but gently sigh: in the end, the heart is messed up … …

Because of Shen Ninghua’s fierce tactics yesterday, all the officials in today’s morning court were extraordinarily honest, especially those old-school officials who had once defected to the Third and Fourth Princes, who didn’t even dare to put up a word, and praised the Empress for her saintly wisdom whenever Shen Ninghua made a decision on something.

A court atmosphere is dull, even the air feels extraordinarily stifling. Shen Ninghua can not help but walk out of Chengqian Hall, let the sunrise shine on the body, the sun is exceptionally bright, but she can not feel the slightest temperature.

Just as she walked aimlessly to the edge of the attic, a figure stepped over the trestle bridge with the rising sun, “Greetings to Empress Dowager.”

Hongling, who was guarding Shen Ninghua’s side, quickly stepped forward and stopped in front of the man, her gaze full of wariness.

Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at Baili Jinze, who was dressed in green clothes with a figure like a pine, “Prince De, why are you here?”

Baili Jinze looked at Hongling, “I have a few words that I would like to talk to the Empress alone, I wonder if it’s appropriate?”

Shen Ninghua opened her mouth to refuse, just in the moment of exchange of sight with him, her heart was slightly stunned, those eyes were extremely sincere, sincere without the slightest bit of malice, not even other complex emotions, only full of purity, so that she couldn’t help but open her mouth to agree, “Hongling, you first step back.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Hongling somewhat uneasily retreated from the attic and went to a slightly farther place to keep watch.

Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at a red sun in the sky and spoke, “What does Prince De have to say?”

“With the disappearance of the Emperor and no one to guard the borders, there’s bound to be a big mess, do you have any plans?”

“There are no competent military generals available in the dynasty, and we can only hope that the border guards will not have a more effective approach.”

Baili Jinze dropped his eyes on her slender back, only to feel that every glance made one’s heart ache extraordinarily. He had always thought that he had hatred for Shen Ninghua, but after experiencing what happened before, he realized that he would rather see her covered in ice with thorns stabbing himself than see her fragile and pale, weak as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

“What do you think of me?”

Shen Ninghua froze, then turned her head violently, the beaded hairpin on her head slightly colliding to emit a crisp sound, just like her heart at this time, “What do you mean by that?”

Baili Jinze looked straight at her, his eyes carrying a look of determination, “I’m willing to go to the Northwest to guard the border and help the Great An Kingdom repel the enemy!”

Shen Ninghua raised her head in surprise, almost unable to believe her ears, “Are … you serious?”

“Yes, I already like the life in the army, and have always wanted to go back. Now is the great opportunity, just don’t know if you have the guts to let me go over, after all, the border has hundreds of thousands of guards, if I have bad intentions, waving troops straight into Kyoto, you can be dangerous.” The corner of Baili Jinze’s lips raised a reckless smile, as if he had returned to the previous moment when he was waving his arms around and was happy with his spring winds.

“Tai-Consort Qi also agreed?”

“Well, promise.”

Shen Ninghua opened her mouth, not knowing how to express her thoughts, she had thought about what Baili Jinze’s reaction would be after learning of Baili Junyi’s disappearance, and had even been prepared to make a decision, but she did not expect him to take the initiative to ask for orders to go to the border. At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a touch in her heart, “Actually … you don’t have to be so …”

Baili Jinze suddenly let out a laugh, the intense feelings under his eyes almost scorching people: ”Ninghua, I was once insanely jealous of Baili Junyi, jealous that he got you. But later on, I couldn’t help but admire him, admire him for not marrying her for you, and even openly defying my father’s will. Now that he has disappeared, it is the right time for me to defeat him, he was able to defy the decree for you, I am able to fight for you!”

Fighting for you! The four powerful words made Shen Ninghua freeze in place, she didn’t know how to answer, didn’t know how to react.

Seeing her appearance, Baili Jinze’s heart ached, and then smiled to himself, “Don’t worry, since I said it, it proves that this is what I want to do, and I don’t need you to return anything, it just depends on whether or not you’re comfortable with dispatching me to the northwestern border.”
