Chapter 260 The King of Zhenbei's Entrustment
"This, I am not in a position to tell you."
Ning Quan kept the secret.
"Hey, I knew you wouldn't tell me, I just asked casually."
Sikong Ruo said with a smile.
Ning Quan didn't say anything, just smiled.
"Your Highness, it's so big inside, with so many rooms, and it's so warm. Can I stay here tonight?"
Sikong Ruo said excitedly.
“Hahaha, of course, you can live wherever you want.”
Ning Quan said with a smile.
"Thank you so much. It's so comfortable here. Look, it's so bright."
Sikong Ruo pointed at the light.
She had never seen anything that shone before.
"Well, it's a light, like a candle."
"It's getting late, let's go eat first, and then you can get a good night's rest."
"it is good."
Sikong Ruo responded.
Afterwards, the two went to the restaurant to eat.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ning Quan did not arrange any Western food for this meal, nor did he have bread, milk, etc., just normal meals.
Ning Quan was also afraid that it would be troublesome to explain.
After eating and drinking, Ning Quan arranged for the female crew members to take Sikong Ruo to the room to rest, and he also went back to his room early to lie down.
..........
The next day.
After Ning Quan got up, he went to the cab.
Not long after, Sikong Ruo also woke up.
After dinner, the two took a shuttle boat back to shore.
Near noon, a cavalry team of more than a hundred people appeared in sight.
The leader was none other than the Zhenbei King Sikong Yan.
"Ning Quan, meet the King of Zhenbei."
Seeing Sikong Yan, Ning Quan hurriedly went up to him with a smile.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is too polite. Should it be you, the old minister, who is paying you a visit?" Sikong Yan said politely.
"Haha, what are you talking about, King Zhenbei? Come in quickly."
Ning Quan made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them then came to a house in the west of the village.
This house had been requisitioned by Bai Qi in advance and had been simply cleaned.
"What's the matter with the King of Zhenbei coming here?"
As soon as Sikong Yangang sat down, Ning Quan went straight to the point and asked.
It is impossible for the dignified King of Zhenbei to come here for no reason. There must be something wrong.
Ning Quan guessed that Ning Yuanwu most likely had something to say and wanted to convey it through Sikong Yan.
"Your Highness, I am here on a personal matter."
"Private matter?"
Ning Quan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"It is a private matter, but I can only discuss this matter with Your Highness in private, so please ask Your Highness to dismiss your attendants."
Sikong Yan affirmed.
"it is good."
Ning Quan ordered Li Yuanba and others to leave.
Sikong Ruo was also sent away by Sikong Yan, leaving only two people in the room.
"The King of Zhenbei can speak now."
After everyone left, Ning Quan looked at Sikong Yan and said.
"Okay, then I will be frank. What I want to say to Your Highness is..."
Then, Sikong Yan slowly told the story.
Then Ning Quan became more and more shocked as he listened, and finally he was stunned.
"King of Zhenbei...you are..."
Ning Quan looked at Sikong Yan in disbelief.
"Yes, this old minister is going to entrust you with your final affairs."
"Your Highness, I have no other intentions, and I will never betray Your Majesty."
"But I, this old minister, do have my own concerns. I want to ensure the safety of my daughter and the Sikong family."
"Your Highness may not know that His Majesty's health is getting worse day by day, so I have to consider this in advance."
Sikong Yan said solemnly.
"What? He's not well?"
Ning Quan was shocked.
Although he had a bad relationship with Ning Yuanwu, he was his father after all.
He was shocked to hear the news.
"Indeed, His Majesty is in poor health. Currently, only three people know about this: His Majesty, the Imperial Physician, and this old minister."
"And the reason I know this is because the imperial physician and I are close friends, and it was he who leaked the information."
Sikong Yan said in a deep voice.
"I see."
"But even so, you don't have to worry about anything, right?"
Ning Quan suddenly understood.
“How can I not be worried?”
"Your Majesty certainly trusts us three kings of different surnames, but if Your Majesty is gone, then our situation will be dangerous."
Sikong Yan sighed.
"Haha, that's right."
"Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you three princes will be in danger. He will certainly not trust you as much as His Majesty does."
"Okay, I understand what King Zhenbei meant. What you just said about moving a branch of the family to Hexi is no problem."
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect them."
"But I think we should forget about the marriage you just mentioned."
Ning Quan shook his head.
"Why?"
"Is it possible that my daughter is not worthy of His Highness?"
"Or maybe His Highness doesn't like her?"
Sikong Yan frowned.
"Of course not. Miss Sikong is of course very nice."
"But Miss Sikong and I are friends, and precisely because we are friends, this matter cannot be forced." Ning Quan explained.
"Haha, so that's how it is. But how did Your Highness know that my daughter was unwilling?"
Sikong Yan smiled.
"She's willing? Did she tell you?"
Ning Quan was stunned.
"She didn't tell me, but no one knows a daughter better than her father. How could I not know what she was thinking?"
"My daughter turned eighteen three years ago and should have gotten married long ago."
"But she still refuses to get married. Your Highness, what do you think is the reason?"
Sikong Yan asked with a smile.
"Zhenbei King, is this because of me?"
Ning Quan couldn't quite believe it.
"That's right, it's because of Your Highness. The person my daughter loves in her heart is Your Highness, so she has never wanted to marry, and she has never wanted to say it."
Sikong Yan affirmed.
"this....."
Ning Quan's eyes suddenly widened.
Sikong Ruo actually likes me?
"Hehe, so...what do you say now, Your Highness?"
"Do you want me to call Ruo'er over so you can ask her in person?"
Sikong Yan asked with a smile.
"Someone, please bring the young lady in."
Before Ning Quan could speak, Sikong Yan called out to the outside of the door.
"Daddy, are you looking for me?"
A moment later, Sikong Ruo walked in.
"Well, sit down first. Dad has something to tell you."
Sikong Yan pointed at the chair.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Sikong Ruo sat down and asked Sikong Yan in confusion.
"Ruo'er, you are not a child anymore, it's time for you to get married. Daddy has arranged a marriage for you." Sikong Yan said with a smile.
"What? Marriage?"
"Dad, no matter what kind of marriage it is, I won't marry."
After hearing Sikong Yan's words, Sikong Ruo immediately refused.
"Dad hasn't finished what he's saying yet? Don't you want to know who Dad is going to marry you to?"
"I don't want to know. I won't marry anyone."
Sikong Ruo said with absolute certainty.
"Then if it's His Majesty the Ninth Prince, you won't marry him either?"
Sikong Yan said with a half-smile.
"Dad, what did you say?"
When Sikong Ruo heard this, his eyes widened instantly.
"That's right, the marriage Dad arranged for you is with His Majesty the Ninth Prince."
"Dad has already asked His Majesty the Ninth Prince, and now I'm just waiting for your nod."
Sikong Yan continued to ask with a smile.
