Chapter 262 Do you want to rebel?
Ning Yi is really worried now that the old emperor will discover the problem between him and Empress Dongfang Qing.
Otherwise, in today's feudal world, Ning Yi would definitely be scolded by countless people.
It was even enough to make countless people shout that he should be cut into pieces.
Besides, the old emperor is still in control of the overall situation, and now is not the time for his troops to fight a bloody battle with the old emperor.
Ning Yi asked the old emperor cautiously, always paying attention to his expression.
The old emperor looked calm, but his eyes were scrutinizing Ning Yi: "Sixth Brother, tell me the truth, what is going on with the Queen?"
Ning Yi's heart skipped a beat. Did the old emperor really discover something?
But he was determined not to admit such a thing, and immediately said seriously: "Father, what could happen between this child and the Queen? There is no interest in us at all."
"I don't need her to help me with anything in the palace."
He just wanted to point out that he had nothing to do with Dongfang Qing.
There is no need for Dongfang Qing to do anything for him, and it is impossible for Dongfang Qing to play any role in helping him in the palace.
"Besides, she is my second brother's biological mother. Is she still willing to help me?"
Ning Yi deliberately led the situation in the direction of winning the throne, and at the same time he was very nervous, worrying that the old emperor had really discovered something.
The old emperor suddenly changed his expression and snorted coldly: "Don't tell the truth."
Ning Yi was extremely depressed. Seeing the old emperor's anger, he had no choice but to kneel down and said, "I really don't know. Please tell me what I did wrong. I have never been disrespectful to the Empress."
"Hmph." The old emperor stared at him coldly: "Well, today I will tell you about the good things you have done."
"Tell me, what is your relationship with the Dongfang family?"
Ning Yi was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that this old guy had discovered something going on between him and the Queen.
He only knew about his relationship with the Dongfang family.
Ning Yi immediately said, "Father, I just went to the Dongfang family to buy some armor. There is no other transaction."
He must explain this seriously immediately, even if he and the Dongfang family are discovered.
That was just a few thousand sets of armor and weapons.
I believe that as long as the Dongfang family is not stupid, they will never say anything nonsense.
The old emperor stared dangerously at the kneeling Ning Yi: "Sixth Brother, you bought armor, are you planning a rebellion?"
"How is this possible?" Ning Yi was stunned and immediately shouted, "Father, please understand."
"I bought the armor from the Dongfang family to equip my servants and bodyguards."
"It's just because the quality of the Ministry of Industry is not good. I don't like it. And they even gave me some shabby ones. I have no choice but to find someone else to buy them."
"So, you are looking for the queen just for this matter?" the old emperor asked without letting go.
Ning Yi was depressed. Old Emperor, could you please finish what you said in one breath? It made him feel very nervous.
He could only say, "Indeed, they only bought armor, and it was all for the guards and servants. If your Majesty doesn't believe me, go ahead and check."
"My servant was able to fight the Fang family army on the battlefield because he used the Dongfang family's finest armor. Otherwise, if he had relied on the junky stuff from the Ministry of Works, he would have been defeated long ago."
Ning Yi kept dwelling on the armor. Anyway, he was currently only doing this business with the Dongfang family and no other business.
Moreover, Ning Yi believed that the old emperor would definitely not be able to discover his base.
Otherwise, his command of the Beijing Camp would be in vain.
The old emperor snorted coldly: "It seems that you will never admit it."
"Then let me tell you, are you still promising that the Dongfang family will be able to enjoy great convenience in doing business in the capital, just because you control the military camp?"
Ning Yi was confused. He had never said such a thing.
But since the old emperor said so, Ning Yi immediately smiled bitterly: "Father, that's not what I originally said."
"My original words were, as long as the armor provided by your Dongfang family is of high quality and not fraudulent, I will naturally not make it difficult for your Dongfang family to do business in the capital."
"Of course, as long as your Dongfang family behaves properly and does not violate the laws of the Great Wu Kingdom, if anyone dares to cause trouble for you in the capital, this prince will naturally uphold justice for you."
"Father, please go ahead and check. I never said that if the Dongfang family did anything that violated the laws of the Dawu Kingdom, I would give them an easy time."
Ning Yi is now full of confidence. Since the old emperor has only discovered these, there is nothing to worry about.
After all, he had indeed promised the Dongfang family that they would be a family in the future.
As long as you do business near the capital, this prince will definitely protect you.
But this is nothing. The Dongfang family is originally a royal family. Even if they don’t have Ning Yi’s support and protection, who would bother to cause trouble for them?
The old emperor looked at Ning Yi's serious expression and said coldly, "You are a man who knows how to make promises."
"You are treating the Beijing Army as your personal property. I asked you to train the Beijing Army well and help me protect the capital, not to abuse your power for personal gain."
Ning Yi didn't know what to say. He knew that it was useless to say anything to the old emperor now. This old guy had no intention of giving him any chance to refute.
There was no need to fight him to death. All he could do was bow his head and admit his mistake: "Father, I was wrong. From now on, I will definitely draw a clear line between myself and the Dongfang family and never want anything from them again."
"Well, that's right." The old emperor finally nodded and said, "Since you are usually quite diligent."
"I don't blame you this time, but I can't allow you to misuse such a valuable weapon from the Beijing Camp. After a month, once the training is completed, stay home and reflect on your actions."
Ning Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Father, for not punishing me."
The old emperor then said, "Go and tell the Queen to tell the Dongfang family to behave themselves, otherwise my patience will be limited."
"If they behave well as their royal relatives, I will naturally not blame them. If they dare to act recklessly again, my sword will kill them."
Ning Yi looked distraught as he left the hall and went to the Queen's Kunning Palace.
This time he came here on orders from the emperor.
As soon as they entered Kunning Palace, the two people who had not seen each other for several days hugged each other.
The wind and rain are endless, and the dragon and the phoenix are turned upside down.
Dongfang Qing, panting, felt extremely satisfied. She nestled comfortably in Ning Yi's arms, her pretty face resting on his chest. Her fingers were drawing circles as she murmured coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I miss you so much. Why didn't you come to see me for so long?"
Ning Yi was still feeling aggrieved, so he smiled bitterly and said, "My beloved, it's not that I don't want to come and see you, it's just that the old man has been asking me to train the Beijing Army recently."
"Besides, he just blamed me, saying that I had too close ties with the Dongfang family. My beloved, what did you say to him that made him so alert?"
Logically speaking, this kind of thing is very common, but the old emperor actually kept holding on to it.
