MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 375 Time is running out

Ning Guogong pursed his lips and said after a while, "Wei Chen said that Chu Chu died twenty years ago."

 The emperor felt a pain in his heart.

If he hadn't seen the gift list, he would have believed Ning Guogong's words.

But now, he didn’t believe a word of it, “You lied to me twenty years ago, and you still dare to lie to me now. You are so brave.

If Chu Chu dies, then tell me who made this gift sheet? "

“Your Majesty, there are many people with similar handwriting in this world. I don’t know who wrote the etiquette note.”

“You lied. These pictures of peonies, colorful butterflies and green bamboos were clearly painted by Chu Chu. You can’t even think of deceiving me again!”

Seeing that Ning Guogong still wanted to deny it, the emperor said with a stern face, "Don't forget, Chu Chu's painting was taught by me. Even the copybook on which she originally learned hairpin flowers and small regular script was given to her by me.

I will never mistake her paintings and handwriting. "

Ning Guogong opened his mouth, but could not refute.

He did not expect that Chu Chu would send so many things to King Dingyuan's daughter and Ning Chuyi, and that he would be caught by the emperor by chance.

Seeing that Ning Guogong did not refute, the emperor felt hopeful in his heart.

“Chu Chu is not dead. Where has she been and how has she been doing these years? Why hasn’t she come back to see me after twenty years?”

Ning Guogong's originally softened heart was aroused by his words.

If it weren't for the emperor, how could his sister have been far away from the capital all these years, alone outside, and the brother and sister were not allowed to see each other for twenty years.

 “No, Chu Chu has died long ago.”

The emperor was originally fully expecting Ning Guogong to tell him his whereabouts, but unexpectedly he poured a basin of cold water all over his head.

Anger surged into his heart, and he wished he could chop off Ning Guogong's head with a sword.

Everyone was far away. Although they could not hear the conversation between the emperor and Ning Guogong, they felt relieved when they saw their tense argument.

The anger in the emperor's heart was extinguished little by little when he saw Ning Guogong's resentful expression.

"I know I failed Chu Chu back then, but I never did it intentionally. The one I always wanted to marry was Chu Chu, but she left without saying goodbye. I searched for her for a whole year."

"You were the one who told me that Chu Chu was dead." Thinking of that time, when he heard that Ning Chuchu fell into the river and died, the emperor's heart clenched in pain.

　That year, he was hit by an aphrodisiac and wanted to go to the imperial doctor, but he met Chu Chu on the way. Facing the one he loved, he couldn't hold back and took her.

Unexpectedly, after waking up, she left without saying goodbye.

 He turned the capital upside down and found no one.

 A year later, Ning Guogong told him that Chu Chu accidentally fell into the river while picking lotus pods in his hometown and died.

 He didn't believe it and rushed to her hometown.

 But he learned that Ning Chuchu had been buried long ago.

 He was disheartened, and later in order to stabilize the court, he married Xu as his queen.

"If you had not deceived me, I would not have married her." Thinking of being deceived for so many years, the emperor was angry and resentful, and punched Duke Ning Guo in the face.

Ning Chuyi subconsciously moved her steps, only to find that her arm was being pulled again.

 He turned around.

Ling Chu said awkwardly and helplessly, "Don't be impulsive. Ning Guogong will be fine."

Ning Chuyi pursed her lips and looked back.

I saw that although the emperor had moved his hands, luckily he didn't actually kill anyone with his sword.

 He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and continued to watch quietly.

Lingchu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand.

 Sighed again.

She repeatedly prevented Ning Chuyi from saving Ning Guogong, and she didn't know if he would anger her.

Ling Chu was a little worried when he thought about having to work under him in the future.

 Forget it, it’s useless to think too much, just take care of the present first.

 In the future, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth.

After beating Ning Guogong, the emperor grabbed the clothes on his chest and asked him bitterly.

“I know that Chu Chu is definitely not dead. She painted the pictures and wrote the words. Since she can send so many things to Ning Chuyi, it proves that she is still alive.

 This time, I will not give up until I find her! ” ˆ ˜ It is said that hitting someone is not a slap in the face, but the emperor just hit him in the face, which shows that he was really angry.

Ning Guogong's face hurt, but he couldn't help but feel guilty when he thought that he had indeed deceived the emperor.

Chu Chu was worried that her life would be exposed, so she sent the things for Ning Chuyi to the Dingyuan Palace, but she was still caught by the emperor.

Perhaps this is God's will.

Seeing that Ning Guogong didn't speak, the emperor was so angry that he punched him again, "Say, where is Chu Chu?"

Ning Guogong grimaced in pain. Thinking of the letter he received not long ago, he felt unbearable pain in his heart.

 That’s all, let them see each other one last time.

Ning Guogong sighed and finally spoke.

 “Chu Chu she...is indeed still alive.”

When the emperor heard this, his anger immediately dissipated, and an astonishing light burst out from his eyes, "Where is she?"

Ning Guogong looked directly at the emperor, "Do you really still want to see her?"

The emperor's anger suddenly rose again when he heard this, and he almost couldn't help but yell nonsense at Ning Guogong.

Ning Guogong looked at the emperor coldly and said, "Chu Chu is still alive, but she is seriously ill, and now... there is not much time left. Are you sure you still want to see her?"

The emperor's face suddenly changed, and the ecstasy in his heart suddenly reached the bottom.

 “What did you say? What happened?”

“Chu Chu has not come back since she left Beijing that year, and I don’t know the specific situation. Not long ago, I received a letter from the maid who was serving her, and I learned that she was seriously ill.

According to the doctor, she doesn’t have much time left, maybe half a year, maybe a month or two…”

They are brothers and sisters. The word "death" is too cruel, and Ning Guogong cannot bear to say it.

The emperor clenched his fists and asked, "Where is she now?"

Seeing that he was still insisting on asking about Ning Chuchu’s whereabouts, Ning Guogong finally relented.

"The maid wrote a letter saying that she wanted to spend her last days in Xuanqing Temple..."

The emperor's expression changed, and he turned around and left.

 “Commander Pang, prepare your horses immediately!”

Ning Guogong's expression changed and he quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

The emperor had a sullen face and pushed him away, "Of course it's Xuan Qing Guan."

 Hearing that he was going to see Chu Chu, Ning Guogong felt quite unhappy. But he still stood in front, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you leave the capital at will?"

The emperor paused.

  Ning Guogong's words reminded him.

 He is the emperor. After leaving Beijing, someone must handle the affairs of the court.

 “Comer.”

 “Pass on my decree: From now on, King Jing, King Dingyuan, and Taifu will work with the prince to supervise the country until I return to the capital.”

 Hearing the emperor's words, everyone's expressions changed and they all wanted to dissuade him.

 But the emperor refused to listen and was determined to leave the capital.

Seeing Ning Chuyi standing aside with a frown, the emperor stopped, but it was not that he changed his mind.

"Ning Aiqing, Princess Jiashan, you will leave the capital with me."

Although King Dingyuan did not hear clearly the dispute between the emperor and Ning Guogong, he already had a guess in his mind.

Although he didn’t know the specific details of what happened back then, he had heard a little about it.

Although the emperor married Xu as his queen, he was in love with Ning Chuchu, the eldest daughter of Duke Ningguo.

The emperor was afraid that she would not die, so he insisted on going to see her. However, he did not expect that the emperor would let his daughter leave the capital together.
