A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 444 - 444 Deception

444 Deception

Ning Yue looked at the emperor and couldn’t help but sigh. The emperor’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

It was indeed quite aggrieved for the emperor to think like this, as if someone was holding his lifeline.

He really wanted to shake those nobles. Those nobles were using the power in their hands to almost suffocate him.

The nobles were united. If he, the emperor, did not do anything to their liking, they would use their power to pressure him.

!!

He was not afraid if there was only one person, but there were many people in these families.

The emperor was such a failure.

“Father and I have always wanted to cut off these nobles and not let them stay in this world, so we have to support the poor students bit by bit,” the emperor said.

Ning Yue frowned even more. “It’s not a long-term solution to support poor students. As time passes, poor students can also join the ranks of the nobles and become new nobles. They might be influenced by the old nobles and join them. They might also form another faction. No matter what, this is not a long term solution.”

“Then what should I do?” the emperor asked Ning Yue.

Ning Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Your Majesty, this is your country. I’m just a woman. I can’t say anything about the Imperial Court.”

The emperor sighed. He had thought that Ning Yue had some good plan. Forget it. This matter was indeed not that simple. He would think of a way in the future.

“Through this matter, I think those people will restrain themselves a little. You will be safer these days. Try your best not to let your grandfather come into contact with those people,” the emperor said.

Although Ning Yue’s identity was something that that group of people could not catch up to, who knew if some people would secretly play tricks?

Ning Yue nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Emperor.”

“By the way, I forgot to tell you. Lian Xin came to look for me yesterday. He said that Princess Dawn missed Jiang Ying and had already fallen for him. He begged me to take pity on him and send him to Jiang Ying’s side. He didn’t ask Jiang Ying to give her any status. He just wanted her to stay by his side,” the emperor said.

Ning Yue was speechless. They had seen Princess Dawn so lively the day before yesterday. Why was she suddenly sick?

“Is she sick? Jiang Ying, since she’s sick because of you, we have to visit her no matter what, right?” Ning Yue said angrily.

Jiang Ying wanted to refuse, but when he saw Ning Yue’s gaze, he nodded.

Why did he feel that Ning Yue really wanted to look for Princess Dawn? He couldn’t hide in time. Why was Ning Yuan looking for Lian Yue?

Puzzled, Jiang Ying followed Ning Yue to Princess Dawn’s residence.

Princess Dawn and Lian Xin were both envoys from the Black City Kingdom. After they came to the capital, their residence was arranged by the emperor. They lived in the Royal Posthouse, and the environment was not bad.

Princess Dawn did look sick. She was lying on the bed in a sickly manner. When she heard that Jiang Ying had arrived, her eyes were immediately filled with joy.

“Prince Jiang, why are you here?” Princess Dawn suppressed the excitement in her heart and looked at Jiang Ying happily.

Did Jiang Ying come over because he heard that she was sick? It seemed that Jiang Ying had her in his heart. Thinking of this, Princess Dawn was overjoyed.

“Rumor has it that you’re lovesick because you like me too much. It’s not good for my reputation. I have to come and take a look no matter what,” Jiang Ying said coldly.

At the side, Ning Yue almost laughed out loud. Jiang Ying’s words were too direct. He was just short of saying to Princess Dawn, “Don’t fall sick in the name of missing me. It’s not good for my reputation.”

Princess Dawn’s face stiffened and her eyes filled with tears. She bit her lip hard. Her pitiful appearance would probably make a man’s heart ache.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ying was unmoved.

Ning Yue coughed lightly and stepped forward to say to Princess Dawn, “I heard that you’re sick, so I came to take a look. I’m Divine Physician Gu’s disciple and I’m very good at treating difficult illnesses.”

With that, Ning Yue reached out to take Princess Dawn’s pulse.

Princess Dawn was not sick, nor was she willing to let Ning Yue take her pulse. She kept moving back.

Seeing this, Ning Yue immediately understood. “Looks like Princess Dawn isn’t sick. Isn’t this lying?”
