To take his beloved daughter, making him suffer the pain of longing, is that it?
Hmph, he must make him return her.
The National Guardian General, using his position in the court, draws in court officials and concocts all these reasons to borrow his beloved daughter through great effort to his General Mansion, making it hard for him, the Emperor, to refute, is it?
Then, he, the Emperor, can directly issue an Imperial Decree to bring the National Guardian General’s son to the palace, allowing him to taste the bitterness of having his beloved son away from him.
Qi Qin was quite speechless.
In his heart, His Majesty stands like a towering figure, never mixing personal emotions into his actions. But this time, his arrangements clearly have personal emotions involved.
He’s dissatisfied with him borrowing Princess Anle for a short stay at his residence!
But, what can he do? For his son, even if it offends His Majesty, he must do it.
When Jun Ning awoke, she was already at the National Guardian General Mansion, with a little fellow asleep nearby.
She knew that little fellow; wasn’t he the son of the National Guardian General, her future Prince Consort?
Shouldn’t he be at the National Guardian General Mansion? Why is he beside her?
Then Jun Ning saw Madam Qi bringing a group of maids and breakfast over.
At this moment, she finally figured out what was going on.
She was no longer in the palace; she should be at the National Guardian General Mansion now.
To confirm her assumption, Jun Ning glanced around the room she was in.
The room’s arrangement was very familiar; it was the one she, Madam Qi, and her little Prince Consort had stayed in before.
"Who on earth took me out of the palace?" Jun Ning was somewhat angry.
Today she had an appointment with Jing Shu to make a snowman, and last night they had prepared the necessary tools, ready to start upon waking up.
Yet now she’s not in the palace?
Nanny Zhang, waiting on the side, saw Jun Ning with a stern face and hurriedly explained to her the reason for her sudden arrival at the National Guardian General Mansion.
After listening, Jun Ning felt utterly despondent for a quarter of an hour, then got up to eat.
After eating her fill, she obediently took care of the child.
Though she was furious about being taken out of the palace without her knowledge, upon hearing about her little Prince Consort crying day and night for two months, her anger instantly dissipated.
Like Madam Qi, she was also worried that the little fellow, exhausting himself in such a manner, might ultimately harm himself.
Not to mention that their marriage would be annulled, she would inevitably be criticized and labeled a jinx or the like.
More terrifyingly, she would again face the fate of possibly being sent to marry as part of a peace deal.
She couldn’t allow that, so she had to ensure the well-being of her little Prince Consort.
To that end, she got into bed, coaxing the little one to nurse and holding him to sleep.
After the little one finished nursing, he puffed his cheeks and refused to sleep. But as Jun Ning held him to sleep, his cheeks immediately stopped puffing, and he obediently closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The little one fell asleep quickly.
Jun Ning waited until the little one was sound asleep, then quietly got out of bed and left the National Guardian General Mansion with Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang’s son was threatened again a month ago by his father, who never wins at gambling.
To prevent her son from being sent to Xianggu Hall, Nanny Zhang gave him a sum of money to help pay off the gambling debt.
Of course, that money was from Jun Ning.
When Nanny Zhang hesitantly sought Jun Ning to borrow money, Jun Ning was also very angry.
But her anger was not at Nanny Zhang but at the man outside the palace, her husband.
What a worthless person!
All this time, she had been waiting for a chance to leave the palace to help Nanny Zhang resolve the issue once and for all. After waiting for so long, she finally had the opportunity and could leave.
However, just as she reached the entrance of the National Guardian General Mansion, Madam Qi caught up with her from behind.
