In Weiyang Palace, Zhangsun, who had just taken off his clothes and fallen asleep, was woken up by a series of urgent knocks on the door. In the entire Weiyang Palace, only Xiaoning could come here without prior notice. Zhangsun knew her character well. If there was nothing important, she would never be so anxious to ignore the rules.
" Come in," Zhangsun said calmly as he stood up and put on his clothes.
Her eldest grandson was still beautiful after removing her makeup. She was less noble and more peaceful. Although she was already over 30 years old, time did not leave too many hardships on this beautiful woman. Instead, it made her eldest grandson, who had accumulated 30 years of experience, look even more moving.
"Niangniang, something happened!"
Qing Ning pushed the door open and entered the room. She looked at her eldest grandson who was lying on the bed and asked anxiously.
"Don't be anxious. If there's anything, say it slowly."
Zhangsun had experienced too many things in his life, so he was naturally much more magnanimous than Xiaoning.
"Niangniang, come over and take a look."
Qing Ning pushed open the window and helped Zhangsun to the window. She then pointed at the bright blood-red star in the southern sky.
"Heart Constellation Emperor Star, what's wrong?" Zhangsun asked in confusion.
" Look, is there a red star next to it?" Qing Ning pointed at it again.
"Mars Guarding Heart? No, these two stars haven't met yet, and the light of Mars is so dim, it's not the sign of guarding the heart."
Zhangsun was shocked at first, but then he shook his head. When Mars guarded the heart, the two stars would fight and fill the sky with red light. Now, only Mars was bright. Although the two stars were very close, they had not met yet.
" Your Highness, they'll meet tomorrow," said Qing Ning anxiously. Her eldest grandson did not believe her.
"Hmm?" Zhangsun could sense that something was amiss. Since Xiaoning did not know about astrology, she would not have noticed such things. What was going on today?
"Who told you that?" A dangerous coldness flashed across Zhangsun's eyes. Although Xiaoning did not understand, it would be a different story if someone was deliberately guiding her.
Sensing the coldness in Zhangsun's words, Qing Ning was taken aback. However, she had no choice but to answer Zhangsun's question." It's Ning Chen."
"That little fellow?"
Zhangsun was slightly taken aback. She had thought that the person from the West Palace had deliberately sent someone to mislead Xiaoning, but it seemed that was not the case.
Qing Ning told her grandson everything that Ning Chen had told her tonight, including their encounter. She did not hold back at all.
When Zhangsun first heard Ning Chen climb up the house and count the stars, he couldn't help but laugh. However, when he heard the latter part, his expression gradually darkened.
The heart was the emperor star, and the Mars was the disaster. When the two met, it indicated the arrival of the disaster.
" Bring Ning Chen over immediately," Zhangsun ordered decisively.
……
In the room, Ning Chen had just returned. He took a look at Mu Chengxue, who had just washed up. After resting his eyes, he hummed a tune and went back to his bed to sleep. Such a big room was hers.
"Clang!"
The sound of knocking on the door rang out. Ning Chen was so frightened that he quivered. He hurriedly looked at Mu Chengxue and found that the latter had already disappeared from the room. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
" I've been doing too many bad things recently. I'm always scared," Ning Chen said, patting his head in frustration. He then walked to the door and saw Xiaoning standing there. She was about to say something when she was dragged out.
It was only at this moment that Ning Chen realized what it meant to be as fast as flying. They were clearly walking, but it felt like they were flying. It was such a long distance, and they had actually reached it in less than a few breaths.
Feeling airsick, Ning Chen stood on the ground and swayed. In a daze, he dragged Xiaoning to Zhangsun.
Zhangsun's eyes sized up the young man in front of him, as if he wanted to see through him.
Unfortunately, even Zhangsun, who had seen countless people, could not tell what Ning Chen was thinking or what he was after.
"Ning Chen!"
"En, huh?" Hearing someone call him, Ning Chen finally reacted from his daze. When he saw Zhangsun in front of him, he immediately took a step back in fear and almost cried out.
Ning Chen had long believed that Zhangsun was a black-bellied woman. Not only did she take his money, but she also wouldn't let go of his people.
Was it easy to survive in the Empress 'territory? Of course not.
" You're very afraid of me," Zhangsun said strangely. Could it be that her reputation outside was so bad that it made people so afraid?
Could Ning Chen tell the truth? Would he tell the truth? Of course not, unless he didn't want to live anymore.
" Everyone knows that Your Majesty is virtuous and virtuous. My legs are just a little numb from being pulled by Sister Xiaoning."
While Ning Chen was sucking up to her, he did not forget to complain to her about how she always bullied him. So what if she had martial arts? So what? So what!
On the side, Qing Ning gritted her teeth. If it weren't for Zhangsun, she would definitely beat this brat to death.
"Haha!"
How could Zhangsun not see through Ning Chen's thoughts? He chuckled but did not expose him.
"Are you telling the truth?”Zhangsun's expression turned solemn once again. This matter was of great importance. If it was true, things would be troublesome.
Because today, Emperor Xia seemed to have made up his mind to send troops. Tomorrow, he would very likely issue an official edict. At that time, she and Imperial Concubine Wan of the Western Palace were both present and could see Emperor Xia's determination.
"What is it?"
Ning Chen was confused by Zhangsun's question. He had said so many things to Xiaoning, and they were all nonsense. How could he know which one it was?
"You know astrology?" Zhangsun asked again.
" I don't understand," Ning Chen answered honestly.
" Crack!" Qing Ning clenched her fists, her gaze threatening to chop Ning Chen into eighteen pieces.
Hearing Ning Chen's answer, Zhangsun frowned. If it wasn't for her long period of self-cultivation, she would have kicked him.
" Then why did you tell Qingning that Mars and the Imperial Star of the Heart would meet tomorrow?"
As she spoke, Zhangsun stared at Ning Chen. This was not a child's play. If there was even a hint of a lie, she would definitely not be merciful.
"Common sense!"
Ning Chen thought contemptuously. Of course, he only thought about it in his heart, but he said very respectfully," Your Majesty, when I was young, I heard a master mention the strange phenomenon of Mars guarding the heart, so I knew about it."
"Are you confident?" Zhangsun frowned and asked again.
" Eighty to ninety percent," Ning Chen replied humbly.
Zhangsun's frown deepened. He was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer. There was at least a one-tenth chance that there would be an exception. However, how could there be any accidents in national affairs?
Seeing Zhangsun's beautiful eyes continue to stare at him, Ning Chen felt helpless. He did not know how to be humble. He really did not know how to appreciate.
" It will definitely happen." Although he secretly despised her, Ning Chen still honestly changed his answer.
"A hundred percent?" Zhangsun asked in a deep voice.
"100%!" Ning Chen said seriously.
"Alright, bengong believes you!" Zhangsun stood up, a determined look on his beautiful face." Qingning, head to the Revelation Palace."
"Yes, sir."
After Zhangsun and Xiaoning left, Ning Chen was dumbfounded. How was he going to go back? He gritted his teeth and cursed the two of them as he walked. It had only taken him a few breaths to get here, but it would have taken him a long time to go back. Weiyang Palace was not small, and he almost couldn't find where he lived.
The light in his room had been extinguished. Ning Chen thought about it. When he left, the candle seemed to be still lit. Moreover, it seemed that there would be no problem to burn it for half the night.
Ning Chen gently pushed open the door and quietly walked to his bed. He saw a seductive figure sleeping soundly. Suddenly, his right hand pointed at his bed and trembled in anger.
"The bed is mine, the blanket is mine too."
Ning Chen shouted in his heart. He really wanted to throw this ungrateful woman down, but when he thought of the clear difference in strength between the two of them, he immediately wilted.
Do you want me to live? Do you want me to live?
Ning Chen fiercely waved his fist at Mu Chengxue. Why were women so annoying? Xiaoning was a bad person, Zhangsun was a bad person, and Mu Chengxue was a bad person too.
Ning Chen thought about it and didn't want to go up and squeeze, but he was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage. In the end, he decided not to give this woman a chance to take advantage of him.
"Ka!"
He found four stools and put them together to form a makeshift bed. He laid a thick cotton cushion on it and then lay down happily. Ning Chen let out a sigh of relief and sighed sincerely.
"I'm really a talent, no, I'm really a genius!"
" That woman's martial arts skills are very high. Be careful," Mu Chengxue suddenly opened his eyes and said lightly.
" En, I know," Ning Chen replied subconsciously. Then, his body moved and he fell to the ground with a bang. He was shocked." You didn't sleep?"”
" I've been awake since you were about to enter," Mu Chengxue said with his eyes wide open.
" Hehe, hehe." Ning Chen laughed dryly. How could he forget that this woman was a ruthless person who dared to assassinate Emperor Xia? How could she not even hear the sound of his footsteps?
Ning Chen climbed back onto his bed and suddenly remembered Mu Chengxue's words. He couldn't help but ask curiously," Then, are you stronger or is she stronger?"
" I," Mu Chengxue said truthfully.
"You really don't know how to be humble." Ning Chen curled his lips and thought.
" However, if she wants to harm you, even a hundred of you are no match for her," Mu Chengxue added.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Chen's chest froze. It was as if a hammer had smashed down and ten thousand horses were galloping. That little bit of self-esteem was instantly trampled on a hundred times, a thousand times.
Ning Chen turned his head and prepared to ignore her. She was too annoying.
" In a situation where she doesn't want to hurt you," Mu Chengxue added.
Ning Chen didn't say anything and pretended not to hear her.
" You're too weak for her." Mu Chengxue attacked again.
No matter how much Ning Chen endured, he was a genius.
" Unfortunately, she's a woman." Mu Chengxue was struck by a knife.
Ning Chen sat up and glared fiercely at Mu Chengxue."I want to learn martial arts!"
On the bed, Mu Chengxue was stunned. Then, he lightly spat out six words," You're not this quick!”
Ah! Ning Chen felt like he was about to explode. It was too annoying and too frustrating!
"I'm a genius!" Ning Chen hypnotized himself.
" You're not?" Mu Chengxue mercilessly shattered this beautiful dream.
Ning Chen was so angry that he stared straight at Mu Chengxue. In the dark night, he was like two angry lanterns.
" I'm going to sleep." Mu Chengxue turned around and pretended not to see her.
Ning Chen was unmoved. He continued to stare straight at Mu Chengxue, wanting to use his powerful spiritual power to suppress his opponent.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea…
Ning Chen was still persevering, his gaze as sharp as a sword.
After half an incense stick of time…
Ning Chen's willpower didn't falter, and his gaze was still tyrannical.
After 15 minutes…
Ning Chen rubbed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
Two hours later…
Ning Chen's eyes were misty as he yawned.
Another hour passed…
Ning Chen fell asleep unwillingly.
