Chapter 431
Chapter 431
In just two days, the pursuers of Guan Ning and the other man gathered in Lingjun City, and every road leading to the capital was monitored by them.
As long as King Ping dared to leave the city, they would take action, but what they didn't know was that the imperial seal had been sent away in a way beyond their expectations.
It was noon that day.
"A lot of spies have come." Yan Qing stood on the city wall and spoke softly.
Guan Ning nodded: "These are probably just the ones who are nearby, and they are also chasing our group. It will be less than a day, and more people will probably come."
"The Zheng family of Xingyang will definitely do whatever it takes to reclaim that valuable object. I just don't know how crazy they can be."
"I hope Brother Li will come back soon." Guan Ning looked towards the direction of the capital.
"Sir, it will take at least ten days to travel back and forth from here to the capital at full speed. During these ten days, there will probably be a lot of trouble." Sheng Qi spoke worriedly. He had almost recovered.
Guan Ning nodded and said, "Then let's stay here for another ten days to help King Ping maintain stability in Ling County to prevent the Zheng family from being completely destroyed."
"As for the matter of the imperial seal, it is not something we can interfere with. The emperor will deal with Zheng himself, and we can just watch the show." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose, and he looked more relaxed than ever.
Sheng Qi nodded heavily.
At this time, Guan Ning looked at Yan Qing again: "What about you, what are your plans for the future?"
"I……"
"I want to cure my wife's illness." Yan Qing looked at Guan Ning with a glimmer of hope.
Guan Ning slapped his forehead and then remembered this.
"Look at me. I've been helping His Royal Highness Prince Ping with his plans these past two days and have forgotten about this matter."
"I have some ways to alleviate the symptoms, but I can't cure it. Besides, your wife's illness requires long-term treatment. It won't be cured overnight."
"Brother Ning, it's okay. As long as we are still alive, we will not give up." A smile finally appeared on Yan Qing's melancholy face, and then he bent down and bowed, saying excitedly.
"Brother Ning, please lend a hand. Yan Qing is extremely grateful and would love to do anything for you!"
Guan Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, no, I didn't say I could cure your wife, I can only say that I tried my best."
"understand!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Ning. I, Yan Qing, am not a unreasonable person. I also know about my wife's illness. As long as I can make her suffer less, I will be satisfied."
As he spoke, Yan Qing's eyes turned red.
Seeing this, Guan Ningsheng and the other two were touched. This young couple really has a miserable life.
"Let's go."
"I'm going to get some medicine now, but I don't know if those medicines were even available in ancient times."
"Ah? Sir, what did you say?"
"No, it's nothing, let's go."
"..."
It was already dusk when I returned to the palace after getting the medicine.
Outside the Prince Ping's Mansion, which was under strict martial law and heavy protection, a carriage suddenly stopped. It was not from the palace, and there were some unfamiliar faces around.
This made Guan Ning curious. He had been at Prince Ping's Mansion for so long, but this was the first time he had seen a guest.
Because of his status, in order not to disturb others, Guan Ning even chose to take a side road after entering the door, wanting to return to his own courtyard.
But when he walked to the corridor, he ran into Prince Ping and others. Princess Cao was also there. There were so many people that it looked like some distinguished guests had arrived.
Guan Ning was about to turn around and leave.
"Ning Que!"
"Ning Que, where are you going?"
"Come here quickly!" Prince Ping was sharp-eyed and called out to them directly with a very cordial tone, just like a conversation between peers. Even when Li Zhibao was leaving, he said jealously that he felt like an outsider in the palace.
Guan Ning was stopped and naturally could not go any further. He turned around and saluted: "Your Majesty, Princess."
"Hahaha, you kid, I just sent someone to look for you, and the servant said you went out. Why did you come back so late? Now is a sensitive period, you shouldn't go out. It's not safe. It's safer to stay in the palace."
"I have already mobilized eight thousand soldiers and horses." King Ping said with a smile, and even stood up with the help of others.
"Your Highness, I just went out to get some medicine and took a stroll. Anyway, this is all Your Highness's territory, so it's safe." Guan Ning flattered him.
