Chapter 1764: Chapter 1757: Twelve Years Later, Rong Ning

She shyly buried herself into Mo Qi’s chest, softly responding, “Husband, it doesn’t hurt.”

The blood in Mo Qi’s body surged even more violently at that moment.

In the bridal chamber, the dragon and phoenix candles burned until dawn.

The next morning, Zhuo Junli attended court and personally delivered Lu Mian’s appointment letter to him. Lu Mian saw his expressionless face and said nothing.

But before he left, he earnestly said to Zhuo Junli, “As long as Lu Mian is here, Jiangnan will never be in peril.”

“Thank you, Lord Lu, hahaha.”

Zhuo Junli laughed like a fox, watching his political rival leave to work in his troubled area, feeling utterly delighted in his heart.

Even when Chu Heng summoned him for a discussion, he smiled happily.

However, Chu Heng didn’t seem very happy. His handsome face was furrowed, his brows knitted into an inverted ‘eight’, “Things are not going well with Sister Xi over there. The news of uncle’s deep sleep has spread, and Silver Moon Pavilion is now fraught with danger.”

“There’s nothing to be done. The Crown Prince cannot send court troops to support them. At most, we can let the Shadow Guards protect them, but I see that Your Highness’s Sister Xi is not someone who can be easily brought back to safely live as a princess.”

Zhuo Junli’s blunt truth made Chu Heng’s frown deepen.

Indeed, he was still young and, despite holding power, was unable to protect her.

He penned a letter, which he asked the Shadow Guards to deliver to Chu Xi.

The contents of the letter were—

Strive together with you.

Though separated by distance, they must grow together.

Chu Xi received the letter at Silver Moon Pavilion. After reading it, her cold brows and eyes slightly softened into a smile.

Grow together.

Twelve years later, she was determined to let A’Heng see a strong sister.

But Chu Xi did not expect that these twelve years would turn her into a notorious demoness feared across the jianghu.

Even Ting Chao Ge dared not easily provoke her anymore.

Twelve years later, Beiling Capital City.

Hua Qingluo had long passed the throne to his son. When he and his daughter came to pay respects, he embraced Zhao Ling’er and told them to visit the Great Cheng Dynasty.

Rong Ning lifted his deeply-featured face, and a chill emanated from his eyes, “Does father think the time has come?”

Hua Qingluo curved his red lips, his voice slightly deep, “It’s been twelve years. Chu Heng has already been conferred the title and is about to ascend the throne as emperor, so the timing is naturally ripe.”

Rong Ning cupped his hands, “Yes, I obey the decree.”

He had been waiting for so long, just for the day to meet this renowned Great Cheng Crown Prince, who had always been ranked ahead of him!

“Wherever brother goes, I want to go too! I want to go too!”

A lively and spirited voice rang out. A little girl, dressed in sky-blue, bounced in energetically. She rushed forward and hugged Rong Ning’s arm, “If brother is going to the Great Cheng Dynasty, you must take me! I want to play there too! I heard the Great Cheng Dynasty has beautiful scenery and is so fun!”

Rong Ning looked down at her beautiful, otherworldly egg-shaped face and sternly scolded, “I’m not going there to play. Don’t mess around.”

“Hmph! If brother doesn’t take me to play, I’m angry! I won’t talk to you anymore!”

Rong Yue crossed her arms and immediately stomped on his foot hard.

Hua Qingluo watched the scene amusedly, but Zhao Ling’er stepped forward, tugging on Rong Yue’s long sleeve, “Don’t bother your brother. Ning’er is going to handle official matters, matters concerning the fate of the nation and Beiling’s future. Why would you go?”

“I… I can go to protect brother!” Rong Yue patted her waist pack, “Look! I’m the apprentice of a poison doctor and have learned all his poison skills. If anyone bullies brother, I’ll poison them to meet the King of the Underworld immediately!”
