Chapter 454 Your Highness!
The expression on Zhongli Po's face did not change at all.
He stroked his long beard and said to Mr. Ding, "This is not a bad thing."
"It's true that she is Xi Wei's daughter, but her surname is Xiao!"
"She is the daughter of Xiao Mantou, the former owner of Wanxi Zhai... Before this, she had never left Wanxi Zhai at all."
"What is she guilty of?"
"Besides... the regent doesn't mind, so why should you and I worry about it?"
Mr. Ding Da pondered for three breaths, "Of course you and I don't mind, but Xi Wei's reputation is too bad."
"You and I can treat this matter fairly, but the people of the world may not."
"I believe there will be people who are interested in using Miss Xiao's identity to make an issue... If it incites the people... the people are so stupid. Since the regent has become a light in their hearts, I guess they don't want that
The lights are out!”
Zhongli frowned slightly, and he suddenly asked: "Changsun Jinghong has been guarding the crooked-neck tree for twenty years. Now that there is news about the eldest son of the emperor, Chen An is going to take him back."
A prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor... This should be your wish, so if Chen An died in Jiangnan, wouldn't the ending be better?"
"From last night to now, Mr. Ding Da, you seem to be extremely worried about Chen An's safety."
Mr. Ding withdrew his gaze and fell on a blooming plum.
Under Zhongli Po's suspicious gaze, he spoke after a long time:
"Because of Xi Wei!"
"Xi Wei is missing. What if... what if he kills the emperor's eldest son first... Ning Guo at least has a regent to support him."
"Ningguo's empire can at least continue to be maintained."
Zhongli Po spoke again:
"No, Ning Guo also has a third prince, Ning Zhixing!"
Mr. Ding's eyes narrowed, "That's why the regent cannot die!"
"...You seem to have some objections to Concubine Li?"
"It's hard to talk about it. It's just something Chang Sun Jinghong once said. I think it makes some sense."
"What words?"
"If a woman is truly celibate, she should go to a nunnery and become a nun instead of hoeing in the harem!"
Zhongli Po was shocked, "I'm leaving, you... take care of yourself!"
"Well, if you have other power in your hands, focus on the fourth princess Ning Chuchu, she is the most innocent one."
…
…
Ning Chuchu has crossed the river and arrived at Qichidu.
They did not meet officers and soldiers in Qichidu. What they met was a group of people going to Jiangbei.
These people were wearing such a bright red girl riding a tall horse, and their eyes were extremely shocked.
Because the news of a group of female gangsters in Jiangbei has already spread to Jiangnan.
They don't even pay attention to the officers and soldiers, so I'm afraid they and others will be like ants.
As a result, many people retreated in fear, fearing that they would be offended or that the knives they carried on their backs would strike them.
But……
The expressions on the faces of those girls were not cold, they were even smiling!
Of course, he didn't come at them with a knife.
How does this look like a gangster?
On the contrary, they are more like a group of girls who have nothing to do and accompany their young ladies to the riverside to enjoy the snow.
This is not right either!
Someone saw that banner and the words on it...
The fourth princess Ning Chuchu!
This, this is the honor guard for Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess?
Are they bandits or the guards brought by the fourth princess?
No one knows because no one dares to ask.
After all, their status is quite far away from that of a dignified princess.
As they watched in shock, Ning Chuchu and his party had left Qichidu and embarked on the official road leading to Qichi County.
At this time, those in Qichidu began to whisper——
"The red banner is absolutely written on the fourth princess Ning Chuchu! Who dares to take the name of Her Royal Highness and deceive her?"
"But they are exactly the same as the female gangsters from Jiangbei!"
"If Her Royal Highness was a guard of honor, how could they attack those officers and soldiers? They were just murderers!"
"Besides, Your Majesty the Princess, how could she be short of money?"
"She must be richer than our Yu Daotai. Why did she rob the government's grain and sell it for money?"
"...This, brother, now our Ningguo Emperor has passed away, and His Highness the Crown Prince has also passed away due to longing for him. Our Ningguo no longer has an emperor, and this Fourth Princess has no father... Isn't it played in the play?
?”
"Once the princess has no support in the palace, the darkness in the harem will probably be even more cruel than what is shown in the drama."
"The fourth princess lost power and was defeated in the battle in the harem, so she left the palace with her guards... She wanted to be busy with coming and going, so she didn't bring any silver, so she started killing people and robbing food in Jiangbei.
.”
Upon hearing this, it seems to make sense.
But when I think about it again, it doesn’t hold up.
So, some people shook their heads and said, "That's not right!"
"Isn't the regent the eldest prince of the emperor?"
"The second prince died in Shuangjiao Mountain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died in the East Palace, and there was a third prince who was said to be guarding the tomb in the imperial mausoleum... and there was only Concubine Li left in the harem."
"I'm afraid you don't know that Concubine Li has never been competitive, so her son has never had a glimpse of the throne."...
"In the battle at Shuangjiao Mountain, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess led an army of women to help the regent!"
"Although the regent has not ascended the throne as emperor now, I don't think he will be harsh on this sister. She can live in the palace as before, and there is no need to commit murder and swindle."
"Then how do you explain that they really killed people and robbed goods? Could it be that they took it seriously?"
The man shook his head again, his eyes showing confusion.
For a moment, I felt relieved again.
"It doesn't matter who she is or what her intentions are!"
"Jiangnan is so bad. If she is really Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess...if the regent can stay in Jiangnan for a while...maybe we can still see the sun in Jiangnan!"
"That's right, it's just that the regent is surrounded by the traitor Xi Wei's daughter... Will the regent be taken advantage of by Xi Wei?"
"Who knows? Come on, get on the boat."
"We work hard just to earn an extra two taels of silver."
"As for this kind of national affairs... it is of course the best if the country is safe. If it is not safe, how much worse can it be than it is now?"
A group of people boarded the ship.
Qichidu was suddenly deserted.
But most of the people on the boat looked at the direction in which the Fourth Princess Qichidu's team disappeared.
A low voice in the crowd sighed: "After all, it is better to live in peace."
But can the world be peaceful?
The south of the Yangtze River has already been covered with clouds.
The sky is lead gray.
The wind is a bit strong.
It's going to snow again.
Ning Chuchu and his party walked towards Qichi County in high spirits in the bleak cold wind.
Tianshu and Tianquan, who were holding banners in front, suddenly stopped their horses.
A group of people came from ahead.
The man at the front was riding a horse, but those behind him...although they were holding sticks, they were far from officers and soldiers.
More like a group of refugees fleeing.
Those who came were none other than Lieutenant Chen and his party.
He had already seen the extremely conspicuous red cloud on the snow.
He continued to move forward and saw the words written on the banner.
He suddenly felt happy.
Not only was there no fear, but he quickly dismounted from his horse. A guy knelt in the snow and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, Qichi County Lieutenant Chen Xizhong, respectfully welcomes Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess!"
