Demoting the Wife to a Concubine? The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Crippled his Entire Family.

To be a slave or a maid?

Ji Yucang's expression changed slightly: "Is this your idea?"

"Since the prince says that the situation in Nan Zhao is not good, and has suffered several defeats, and is eager to seek help, then as far as the Yong State is concerned, they are just a defeated country that wants to ask for help." Shen Ning said calmly, "If the generals are not good, Without military strength, if the Yong Kingdom does not help, it will only be a matter of time before they become subjugated slaves. In this case, what qualifications do they have to propose a marriage? "

"Marriage is based on the premise of equality."

"The current situation in Nanzhao can only be said to be asking for help from others. Marriage is naturally inappropriate. It is in line with the situation to offer the princess and gold and silver and ask Yongguo for help."

"So when the princess is sent to the Yong Kingdom, the Yong Kingdom naturally takes the initiative, and the honor and disgrace of life and death are left to them?"

Ji Yucang looked at her deeply, and there seemed to be a strange luster hidden in the depths of his black eyes. After a long silence, he nodded slowly: "Okay, then I will be a slave."

Shen Ning was startled and looked up at him in disbelief.

"how?"

"That's what I said." Shen Ning seemed to not understand his intention, "You are the regent of Yong State, and the marriage with Nan Zhao should be decided by you. Whether to help or not should be based on the interests of Yong State. , instead of asking for my thoughts.”

"You are my wife, how can I not ask for your opinion?" Ji Yucang raised his hand to rub her head, but found that her bun was not suitable for him today, so he naturally rubbed her head instead. Face, "Shen Ning, since I married you as my princess, your status in the Regent's Palace is equivalent to that of my husband. Your opinions are my opinions, and you are not allowed to treat yourself as an outsider."

Shen Ning looked at him calmly: "Why?"

"There is no reason." Ji Yucang said, "If I identify you, it will be just you, for the rest of my life."

Shen Ning frowned: "I may not stay in the Regent's Palace forever."

She has her revenge plan, and her stay at the Regent's Palace is only temporary. She will leave here sooner or later.

"You don't need to stay in the Prince Regent's Palace for the rest of your life." Ji Yucang said, "Because I won't stay in the Prince Regent's Palace for the rest of my life."

As soon as these words came out, the air in the car became slightly condensed.

Shen Ning understood what he meant.

The identity of the regent is never permanent, because sooner or later the emperor will take charge personally. Once he takes real power in his hands, the regent may end up dead.

But Ji Yucang is obviously not a person who sits still and waits for death.

Even if he doesn't do anything, the little emperor can't get rid of him in a year or two. It's just that this problem will have to be faced eventually, and he needs to plan his retreat in advance.

After a moment of silence, Shen Ning asked, "What do you think you are going to do in the future?"

Ji Yucang raised his eyebrows: "Guess."

Shen Ning remained silent.

She was not a roundworm in his stomach, so how could she guess what he was thinking?

However, based on the rumors outside, she was at least sure that he would not wait for death, let alone abide by the foolish and loyal rule of "if the king wants his minister to die, he must die".

But other than that, the only option is to be a sycophant.

After all, after the emperor takes charge, if the regent still insists on controlling the government, wouldn't it mean that in the eyes of the ministers, he is ambitious and disobedient?

Shen Ning wanted to ask him if he had any ambition to usurp the throne and become emperor, but considering that she had only been married to him for three days, it was not time to talk about this.

Besides, he might not be willing to answer such a sensitive and dangerous topic.

So it’s better not to ask.

The carriage quickly arrived outside the gate of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

Ji Yucang got off the carriage.

When the servants saw the regent coming back with the princess in person, they were frightened. He opened the door in a panic, welcomed the regent and the princess into the palace, and ran into the palace to inform the Duke and his wife.

After a while, the Duke of Zhen and his wife and the old lady came out to welcome him. They all knelt down to greet him: "See you, the regent. Thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old."

Ji Yucang stepped through the door and said in a cold and ruthless voice: "There is also the princess."

Shen Yunlin froze, and could only lower his head and add: "See the Princess Regent, may the Princess be blessed and safe."

Mrs. Shen's expression was gloomy and ugly, but today she seemed to be mute. She didn't dare to say a word and just sulked alone.

Shen Yunlin quickly welcomed the regent and Shen Ning into the front hall, asked them to sit down in front of the main seat, and ordered his servants to serve the best tea in the house.

The old lady sat in the first seat at the bottom, her eyes with disgust and a hint of disgust frequently fell on Shen Ning, and she stopped talking several times.

Shen Ning could roughly guess that she wanted to curse a few words and play off the majesty of the old lady in charge. Unfortunately, besides Shen Ning, there was also the giant Buddha of the Regent sitting there.

Even a domineering old man like Mrs. Shen didn't have the guts to make fun of the lives of the Duke's family.

Ji Yucang held the teacup silently, sipping the tea with closed eyes, without saying a word.

Shen Ning sat quietly in the seat next to him, also silent.

Both of them looked indifferent, like two ice sculptures.

Not long after, Shen Shi'an and Shen Yan came in a hurry and knelt down in the hall to greet them: "See the Prince Regent, see the Princess Regent."

Ji Yucang sat expressionless, with cold and distant eyes, without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressing.

Without the regent to speak, Shen Shi'an and Shen Yan could only keep kneeling.

The Duke of Zhen Guo sat aside, his expression ugly, but he did not dare to get angry.

"Greetings, Prince Regent, greetings, Princess." Mrs. Shen said with a dry smile, her face white and blue, "It's a big event to come back today, I have ordered people to carefully prepare a sumptuous meal -"

"I have no plans to have dinner at the Duke's Mansion." Ji Yucang raised his eyes slightly and looked coldly at Shen Yan who was kneeling behind Shen Shi'an, "I heard that you drugged the princess and planned to stun her, so that Qin Yanshu could pass through the back door of Qin's house. Take her away so you can marry Ning'er?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Shen family was stunned.

Shen Yan raised her head in shock, her face turned pale: "My dear, no! My dear, you must not dare. I beg the regent to see clearly!"

"Zhang Zui." Ji Yucang's voice was calm, "I hate being plotted against."

"Sister!" Shen Yan turned to look at Shen Ning with a pleading look on her face, "Sister did not plot against eldest sister, really! Please believe me, eldest sister, you can explain to the regent, eldest sister..."

"Do you need me to repeat it a second time?" Ji Yucang frowned slightly, his eyes were bone-piercingly cold, "Shut the mouth, or take him out to fight?"

A cold air suddenly went straight from the soles of her feet to her back. Shen Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She raised her hand and slapped her face. She cried bitterly while fanning: "Sister, I really didn't plot against you. Why did you say that to me? I ...I am your sister, eldest sister——"

"Noisy." Ji Yucang's eyebrows flashed impatiently, "Shi Qin, help her."

"yes."

Shi Qin walked up to Shen Yan, raised her hand and slapped her on the face.

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

"Ah!" Shen Yan groaned in pain, her cheeks crackling as she was slapped from left to right, "Ahhhh--"

"I beg the regent to spare my sister!" Shen Shi'an recovered from the shock and kowtowed, "My sister is weak and kind-hearted. There is no way she would treat Ning'er... No, it is absolutely impossible to plot against the princess. I beg the regent to be aware of this and please forgive me. Come on Yan’er!”

Ji Yucang sat without saying a word, his whole body full of frightening coercion: "Whoever asks for mercy again, let's fight together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
