The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1101

Chapter 1101: 531 Arrogant (Two Updates)_2

The Emperor naturally understood everything in his heart, so he cherished Princess Ning An all the more.

He silently swore that from now on, he would never let Princess Ning An leave his side again, nor would he allow her and Xian to suffer the slightest grievance.

"Xian, he..." Princess Ning An stopped mid-sentence.

The Emperor was her brother, and even though they hadn’t seen each other in many years, he could still guess what she was most worried about.

He stopped walking and looked at her solemnly, "No matter who Xian’s father is, he is your child, my nephew, and I will do everything in my power to protect him."

There were not many objections to Princess Ning An’s return to the Capital City, but it was different for Huangfu Xian, who had the blood of the former dynasty’s royal family flowing in his veins; those radical officials would probably use Huangfu Xian’s lineage as an issue.

Princess Ning An expressed her guilt, "I’m causing trouble for my royal brother."

"It’s no trouble," said the Emperor.

If Huangfu Xian had been of sound body, it might indeed have been troublesome, but what was there to fear from his incomplete form?

Those officials were just looking for a place to vent their frustration by teasing a child; the controversy would subside once they knew the truth.

The Emperor said, "Ning An, I still need to talk to you about Imperial Consort Jing."

Princess Ning An smiled faintly, "There’s no need for more words, royal brother, I understand everything; my mother, she... was an agent of the former dynasty, and from the moment she started serving their royal family, her end was predetermined."

"Do you resent her?" the Emperor asked.

Princess Ning An replied, "It’s pointless to talk about that now."

"She sent the Dragon Shadow Guard to the frontier to find you, didn’t she? Was she trying to coerce you?"

Princess Ning An shook her head, "They wanted to take me away. They had come with a secret agent, who said that there were troubles in the Capital City and that the frontier was no longer safe, urging me to leave with them first. But they were no match for Huangfu Zheng’s loyalists; they were all injured in the end, and the secret agent died from his wounds."

The Emperor had not expected... no, Du was a false surname; his real name was Huangfu Zheng.
