Chapter 78

Shangguan Chaoge didn't answer, he lowered his eyelashes to hide the sadness in his eyes.

Then he said, "Is the empire that important to you?"

"Important." Wushuang replied firmly: "Because the Empire is your hometown."

It is also my hometown.

"I will consider it." After leaving this sentence, Shangguan Chaoge no longer mentioned this matter.

The emperor was afraid of the influence of the Shangguan family, and Wushuang's incident was just a chance to weaken the Shangguan family.

Don't say that you have a heart, the emperor may not necessarily approve it.

Moreover, the emperor has ordered that the three generations of the Shangguan family cannot be in the army.

Therefore, he is unwilling to take this risk and bring unforeseen disaster to Wushuang.

He just wanted to be with her safely.

The country is guarded by others.

Wushuang ended this topic, since he had already brought it up, let Shangguan Chaoge think about it slowly.

The two basked in the sun in the garden for a while, and Baili Hongqing brought a child covered in injuries.

The child was dying, with his head down, being dragged by two soldiers by his shoulders, his legs were rubbing against the ground, apparently unconscious.

Baili Hongqing happened to be walking towards him with the people.

Wu Shuang took a closer look, isn't that Yuan Ning?

Walking forward, squatting down and pinching Yuan Ning's jaw, the child's face was covered with injuries, almost beyond recognition.

Wushuang's heart filled with a strong pity, she raised her eyes to look at Baili Hongqing: "Why did Yuanning become like this?"

"The Shangguan Mansion has been donated to the Xiao family by the emperor. I thought you told me about this child before, so I went to the dungeon of the Shangguan Mansion today. Seeing that the child has been tortured into such a state, I forcibly brought it back." Li Hongqing said calmly.

Wushuang looked at Baili Hongqing gratefully, and was a little worried: "The Xiao family didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"So what if it's difficult? My Nancheng King is not afraid of the Xiao family. The Xiao family has relied on the emperor's attention over the years, and has offended many people. Now the military power of the Shangguan family is in their hands. Mastery, even more defiant." When Baili Hongqing said this, the coldness in his eyes spread.

Wushuang has learned this from the system.

The Xiao family was very ambitious. When they wanted to marry the Shangguan family, it was also to strengthen their own power. They wanted to become powerful ministers, and even change the dynasty.

But the emperor listened to the slander of treacherous ministers, and kept his eyes on the loyal Shangguan family.

Wushuang asked Yuan Ning to be forced into a guest room, and had the imperial doctor examine his body.

After stripping off his clothes, Yuan Ning's body was covered with scars, and none of them was intact.

Chi Sheng told Wushuang that after Xiao's family moved into Shangguan's house, Yuanning was tortured by various tortures every day, and his life was worse than death, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, and lived strong because of the promise Wushuang gave him to find his parents for him. .

If it weren't for Wushuang's promise, Yuan Ning might not have lasted until now.

Seeing this, Shangguan Chaoge was jealous: "Are you very close to him?"

Thinking of that day, before she fainted, she told herself to keep Yuan Ning alive.

Yuan Ning stabbed her with a sword, but she did not dodge.

The imperial doctor bandaged Yuan Ning's wound, and Wushuang said: "Yuan Ning has been doing missions with me since he was a child. We have almost never been separated, so I want to protect him. How can I say that there is also a revolutionary friendship between him and me, and even more so?" Mostly treat him like a younger brother."

Hearing this, Shangguan Chaoge's complexion improved.
