The Xihai Palace was in chaos at the moment. The guards were guarding the entrance of the palace, and the eunuchs and maids were hiding in panic.

On this day, the sky in the West Sea almost collapsed.

"A Ning?" Xiao Jingheng glanced sideways at Chu Yunning.

Chu Yunning looked back at him in confusion.

"I heard that Xihai produces jewelry. If you enter the palace, I will give you some treasures!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunning's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded hastily: "It doesn't take much, just give me the banknote."

Gold and silver jewelry are good, but they are too heavy and inconvenient to carry.

How convenient it is to have a few banknotes in your pocket.

Chu Yunning's thoughts were quickly seen through by Xiao Jingheng, and his face looked slightly unhappy.

It always felt like Chu Yunning was planning how to escape all the time.

"Perhaps I'm used to living a hard life, and I always feel that having money in my pocket is my biggest reliance."

These words made Xiao Jingheng fall into deep thought. If I remember correctly, General Chu and Mrs. Chu only have one daughter, Chu Yunning. They have been pampered since childhood and have never been treated harshly. When Chu Yunning got married, she was even more than one hundred and twenty years old.

Taiwan’s dowry makes others envious.

When did she run out of money?

What Xiao Jingheng didn't know was how miserable Chu Yunning's life was in a modern orphanage. When he went to college, he worked so hard that he almost couldn't afford the tuition.

After graduation, she chose a high-paying career as a doctor.

While others started falling in love in their early twenties, she was doing research on experiments, studying topics, and winning trophies one after another.

Even so, she still felt uneasy and lacked a sense of security.

She was always worried about what she would do if her hand was injured one day and she could no longer hold the scalpel.

Who can you rely on for the rest of your life?

So I subconsciously brought this thought into my current body, saving enough money, enough money.

Even if she loses her support one day, she will not be left with nothing.

Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows and said to Jamel Xiao: "Sometimes the sense of security comes from the other half, but sometimes it comes from herself."

No matter what the situation, she will never make the second choice, and she hates it when the other party weighs the pros and cons before giving up.

If this is the case, Chu Yunning will never compromise and leave at worst.

Xiao Jingheng held Chu Yunning's cold fingertips: "What are you thinking about? If you can't trust me, then probably no one in this world is worthy of trust."

Hearing this, Chu Yunning glanced at the other party angrily and helplessly.

"Aning, you will always be my first choice. To me, the throne is far less important than you."

After being the emperor for more than ten years, he has long been tired of it. If it were not for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, Xiao Jingheng would not want to lead troops to attack other countries.

His ambitions are not big. It is enough to have the person he likes by his side, to be less scheming, to stay with each other for the rest of his life, and to protect the people he wants to protect.

Chu Yunning quietly let go of the other party's hand, with a slight blush on his face: "The emperor is the king of a country and a virtuous king in the hearts of the people. How can he give up the country and the country so easily."

"Why not?" Xiao Jingheng said halfway, but he couldn't bring up his plan now.

Yu'er on the side rubbed his ears and rolled his eyes helplessly: "We obviously like each other, it's just that layer of window paper that's missing, and no one is against you."

Chu Yunning turned back and glanced at Yu'er.

She found that Yu'er had learned to be smooth-tongued since she had been with Xiao Jingheng for a long time.

Jamel Xiao shrugged, as if he didn't mean it.

While several people were chatting, there was already a commotion on the other side of the palace gate, with some people struggling desperately to get out.

After all, you can survive by disarming yourself.

People outside the palace were not in a hurry. They were already at the palace gate anyway. Xiao Jingheng ordered to wait for one more hour.

If you don't open the city gate within an hour, you will be responsible for the consequences.

Half an hour later, the old emperor of Xihai finally couldn't stand it anymore and opened the city gate, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to greet him.

The smile on Xiao Jingheng's face faded, he sat on the horse, holding the reins in one hand, and drove slowly towards the palace.

Chu Yunning and Yu'er followed, one on the left and the other on the right.

The palace in Xihai was far more luxurious and luxurious than she had imagined, and it also covered a vast area.

There was still a faint fishy smell above the palace, and there were still a lot of blood stains on the floor that had not yet been wiped off.

White jade steps, glazed tiles, red walls and green bricks, each step of the long corridor are carved with exquisite patterns. Under the shining of the eyes, every petal shines with tiny light. Chu Yunning lowered his head and looked carefully.

Even the stamens are made of precious stones.

Gee, you are so rich!

Nuo Da's palace was even more magnificently decorated, with golden dragon chairs, which made Chu Yunning drool.

If this was sold by the gram in modern times, it would be worth tens of millions, right?

What a luxury!

"Do you like that chair?" Xiao Jingheng looked sideways and noticed that Chu Yunning had been staring at the dragon chair.

If you like it, there's no harm in being a queen.

Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment, but nodded sincerely. Just as Xiao Jingheng was preparing her next sentence, she added: "This chair is worth a lot of money. It's a pity to use it for sitting. It's better to find a craftsman to melt it."

"

Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng almost choked on his saliva and looked at her strangely, why was he thinking differently from others.

"A Ning is right. There is no emperor in Xihai, so what's the use of keeping the dragon chair? Eunuch Mo, please have the dragon chair melted into gold in a moment."

Eunuch Mo sighed and said he understood.

Chu Yunning sneered sheepishly, and at this moment two little girls like butterflies rushed out and came to Xiao Jingheng crying, calling her cousin.

Jamel Xiao frowned.

"Heng'er!"

There was also a luxuriously dressed woman who followed outside the door. It looked like she was a concubine or above.

"Concubine Wan!" The palace maid followed behind her, revealing the woman's identity.

Concubine Wan cried with joy: "Heng'er, I am your aunt, Princess Wanqing. I came to the West Sea to get married twenty years ago."

Princess Wanqing was one of the late emperor's concubines, and her biological mother was just a palace maid with no status. When Princess Wanqing came of age, because of her good looks and well-behaved personality, the late emperor sent her to get married.

No further news after that.

Xiao Jingheng's impression of this aunt was so little that he didn't recognize her at all.

"cousin."

The two little girls were about fifteen or sixteen years old. They were dressed in fancy clothes and had exquisite makeup on their faces. They were actually twins, one was pink and jade, and the other was bright and charming.

They are the fifth and sixth princesses of the West Sea. Compared with the other princesses, these two princesses are not favored.

Xiao Jingheng glanced at the two of them displeased, and they were so frightened that they immediately let go of their hands and looked at him eagerly.

"Heng'er?" Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Concubine Wan smiled and smoothed things over: "We can be considered a family. Today there is a blessing in the south. I believe that your father's spirit in heaven will be very gratifying."

Xiao Jingheng tied one hand at his waist and kept a long distance from Concubine Wan and others. He said in a calm tone: "You are already a married princess and a native of the West Sea. For the sake of Nanduan, I allow you to leave the palace freely."

Concubine Wan was stunned: "That's it?"

She is the eldest princess, shouldn't she be taken back to Nanduan?
