Chapter 691
Ying Ning smiled and said: "It's fine if you don't send others off, even my father doesn't want to send one off? Anyway, the old man worked hard and sent you so many soldiers."

"Everything that should be said has been said."

"Why don't you tell me the truth again." Yingning said.

"What truth?"

"From the very beginning, you never thought about letting my father lead the army, did you?"

"Of course not." Gu Changyuan stopped writing, "Why, do you think that the soldiers of Prince Li's illness were caused by me?"

"I have reason to suspect that the sickness of the soldiers is man-made."

"No matter what your reasons are, let me tell you, that person is not me." Gu Chang Yuan waved his hands, "Go check someone else, I'm very busy."

"It can't be Zhang Gaoqiu, right? What good will it do him?"

"Why is there no benefit? Your father's military power was taken from him."

Ying Ning said: "But who is the one who benefits in the end, I don't need to say it?"

"I exchanged the lives of three thousand guards."

"Gu Changyuan, tell me the truth."

"This is the truth." Gu Changyuan spoke softly, "Li Yingning, I don't even care about the crown prince, let alone mere military power?"

"Before you came, didn't the emperor tell you to control Minzhong County?"

"There is such a thing." Gu Changyuan said with a smile, "Since I have come to be the king of Minzhong County, it is only natural for me to take over here. What I do is my duty, whether it can be done or not, I just do my best."

Yingning stared at him for a while and said, "Since you said so, I believe you."

"Thank you."

"In that case, I'm leaving. Take care, Your Highness."

"Wait," Gu Changyuan called her to stop, and said with a smile, "Don't forget what you promised me before."

"Don't worry, I mean what I say, as long as Ci'er is willing."

"Thank you." Gu Changyuan smiled slightly.

"gone."

Ying Ning waved her hand.

Ding Chunfang walked towards him leaning on a cane, bowed to Yingning, came to the study, and muttered in a low voice: "What the hell..."

"What did you say?" Gu Changyuan asked.

"Just now I met Princess Xinhua outside, guess what she asked me?"

"Don't give in."

"The princess actually said that I look sick, not injured." Ding Chunfang scratched his head, "You said, she doesn't know how to heal, how did she tell?"

Gu Changyuan said lightly, "That's because you have a guilty conscience, you have ghosts in your heart."

"Hey, this subordinate is not guilty."

"If you are not guilty, why don't you dare to say that you are sick, not injured?"

"Isn't this to prevent others from getting suspicious?" Ding Chunfang said in a low voice, "Isn't Princess Xinhua suspicious of us?"

Gu Changyuan glanced at him: "That's right. She thinks that the epidemic spread in Li Yanxing's military camp was deliberately caused by someone."

"We are too wronged!" Ding Chunfang wanted to cry, "This matter is clearly the emperor..."

"Shut up." Gu Changyuan said calmly, "You know enough already. If the world knows that the emperor tripped his ministers, what consequences will happen, have you thought about it?"

Ding Chunfang hurriedly covered her mouth: "This subordinate will never mention it again!"

Gu Changyuan raised his head, looked in the direction Ying Ning was walking, and frowned slightly.

……

The return trip was not in a hurry, and there were many injured people. Ying Ning asked the convoy to slow down, and it took a month to return to the capital.

It's New Year's Eve.

It is snowing heavily in the capital.

The streets are filled with red lanterns, the smell of food and wine is wafting from every family, restaurants and teahouses, peddlers and pawns, and children playing.

Sun Haizhu, who had never been to the north, was stunned by such a strong Chinese New Year atmosphere.
