Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 259: Substitute Secret Guard (2)

After all, this time her son, who had never been seen in public, survived, and the prince also survived the disaster, which shows that he is extremely capable.

Regardless of whether the women in the backyard were sincere or not, they all gathered around her to congratulate her. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and even rewarded the servants with monthly wages.

Just when she was happy, King Zhenbei suddenly came over. She was about to greet him with a smile, but unexpectedly, when she met King Zhenbei's gaze, her smile froze.

The King of Zhenbei had a gloomy face. All the concubines in the room came to pay their respects to him, but before they even knelt down, he ordered them all to go out, saying that he had something to say to the princess alone.

The princess was a little nervous, and when everyone left, she asked the King of Zhenbei, "Why does the prince look so unhappy? But what happened to Mu'er?"

"Mu'er is fine, and I even saw Ning Ning. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known I had a son!"

"Ah?! Your Majesty, what are you saying? I don't understand. Who is Ning Ning?"

"Hmph, you still dare to play dumb with me! Ning Ning has already explained everything to me, and you dared to tell such a big lie just to have an extra layer of protection! It has exhausted him physically and mentally over the years, and he doesn't want to live this kind of life anymore, let alone cover up for you! Why don't you tell the truth!"

The princess' head buzzed and she almost fainted. She held on to the table and managed to stand steady, forcing herself to calm down. She had to pass this hurdle.

As for how to treat Ning Ning in the future, that is a matter for the future.

"Your Highness, you misunderstood me. I did give birth to twins, but they are my flesh and blood. How can I bear to watch one of them die? I can't do it! That's why I resorted to this desperate measure. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for the sake of our long-term marriage!"

"Bitch!"

King Zhenbei couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him!

This time the princess really collapsed. She covered her burning face and cried in grievance.

Although she was not favored, she was the principal wife after all, so the King of Zhenbei still gave her the respect she deserved.

After all, he is a member of the royal family and he has to have some dignity. It is impossible for the King of Zhenbei to be like a domestic violence man, yelling and slapping his wife every day.

But this time the princess was too evil. When questioned face to face, she still tried hard to find excuses, which made the King of Zhenbei angry!

"Our offspring are of royal blood and must be recorded in the imperial genealogy. You know that! If you dare to tamper with this matter and the emperor finds out, it will be a crime of confiscating the family property! If you really don't want Ning Ning to die, then just send him far away. There's no need to use him as a secret guard for Mu'er! What kind of tricks are you coming up with? Do you really think you can hide it from me? What sin did I commit to marry such a vicious woman like you!"

"Wuwu, Your Majesty, you misunderstood, wuwu..."

The princess cried and refused to admit that she had any selfish motives, which made King Zhenbei want to go up and hit her a few more times!

Suddenly, the butler's voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, please go and have a look. The two princes are fighting. Oh, no, it's two people who look exactly like the princes who are fighting."

He couldn't figure out what was going on!

How come two princes suddenly appeared and started quarreling with each other? It’s not enough to just quarrel, they also have to fight.

They didn't dare to stop him, and didn't know who the real prince was, so they could only stand around and try to persuade him.

The King of Zhenbei closed his eyes and ordered the princess to be confined to her house. Unless she received his order, she could not step out of the yard.

Then he hurried to break up the fight.

When he ran back to Ning Mu's yard, he found that what the housekeeper said was not true. In fact, it was not a fight, but Ning Ning unilaterally beat Ning Mu, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.

Seeing him coming, Ning Mu hurriedly asked for help, "Father, help me, this kid wants to kill me and take the throne himself!"

Ning Ning, "Who made you so addicted to fighting me? Who cares about your position as the prince?"

"Then you can't embarrass the palace and make a fuss about it!"

"How about we switch places? You be the secret guard. I promise I will never show off!"

"you--"

The King of Zhenbei was troubled by their quarrels. It turned out that the martial arts of the legitimate prince who was carefully trained were not as good as those of the hidden son. It was so discouraging!

"Why don't you let go! Let's go inside and talk!"

He acted majestically and called Ning Ning and Ning Mu to follow him in.

"I have asked the princess about the matter. It was indeed because she was confused for a moment that she made a big mistake. Ning Ning, I have wronged you over the years, but now that things have come to this, it is useless to dwell on the past. We still have to resolve the matter."

His eyes flickered between Ning Ning and Ning Mu. If it was when the baby was just born, although he would be very sad about the death of a son, but after all, he hadn't even seen them, so his sadness should not be too limited.

But at this moment, Ning Ning, a living person, was standing in front of him, and he couldn't do such a thing as letting someone drag his son out and kill him.

Besides, Ning Ning deliberately fought with Ning Mu, and everyone in the mansion saw it, so there was no way he could disappear quietly.

"If we report this matter truthfully, we will be deceiving the emperor. There have been many people in the court watching us over the years. I am afraid that we will be confiscated and punished."

He kept saying "we" to remind Ning Ning that whether she was willing or not, if the matter got out, she would rise and fall together with the palace.

Seeing that Ning Ning didn't object, he continued, "Ning Ning, now that things have come to this, I can only continue to apologize to you. Your father cannot recognize you, so I can only tell others that you were chosen to be a secret guard because you look like the prince, and this time you have made a contribution. Your father knows that you have been wronged, and I will find an opportunity to adopt you as my adopted son in the future. What do you think?"

Ning Ning smiled, "There's no need for an adopted son. We already look alike, and if we adopt him as an adopted son, it will only arouse suspicion. Since we want to distance ourselves from this, we should do it cleanly. But as a secret guard, I have done a great deed today, so I deserve some reward!"

It seems that this son is still estranged from him.

King Zhenbei was choked, but then he thought that it was a good thing that Ning Ning was willing to accept his arrangement, "What do you want?"

"I want to join the army."

The King of Zhenbei pondered, "Alright, you were always by the side of the prince before, and you are taking risks for him today, so you can be a fourth-rank general. When you have military merit in the future, father, ahem, I will report your military merit to the court and help you get promoted. But don't mention your background anymore from now on."

Ning Mu seemed dissatisfied after hearing this arrangement, but King Zhenbei glared at him fiercely, and he was so scared that he dared not say anything.

King Zhenbei ordered the news to be spread, letting people know that there were secret guards loyally protecting their master. As for the fight just now, it was just the prince and the secret guards practicing martial arts, and it was finally covered up.
