Chapter 1222 Sugar-coated bullets
Next, Fan Xian's actions in the capital of Northern Qi can be said to be really smooth. He always led Shen Zhong around by the nose, and soon he successfully found the foolish Yan Bingyun.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince is greeted by your humble servant Yan Bingyun." Yan Bingyun insisted on paying his respects to the Sixth Prince despite dragging his severely injured body. Miss Shen standing by felt extremely distressed when she saw this.

At this moment, Su Ning hurried forward to help the stubborn Tiehanhan up, and it was truly a rare spectacle of a monarch, his ministers and his assistants. "Get up! You are a meritorious official of our Nanqing. This time, you have suffered for our Nanqing."

"Your Highness, you are too kind! This is what I should do." As expected, hearing the Sixth Prince's words of approval made Yan Bingyun want to cry.

"Well, I heard you were injured, so go down and rest and recuperate. We'll be back to Nanqing soon. I promise I will strongly recommend you to the Emperor."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After the seriously injured Yan Bingyun left with the help of Miss Shen, Su Ning looked at Fan Xian and asked, "Fan Xian, is this beautiful woman Shen Zhong's sister?"

"Yes! It's her! If it weren't for Miss Shen this time, it would be difficult for us to find Yan Bingyun." Fan Xian's heart skipped a beat when he realized that Miss Shen was also a great beauty.

"Well, Shen Zhong is indeed a rare talent, but unfortunately he is a little too conceited."

"Your Highness, you are not planning to recruit Shen Zhong for your own use, are you?" As expected, after spending a long time with Su Ning, Fan Xian also developed a tacit understanding with him.

"What? Do you think it's feasible?" Su Ning looked at Fan Xian in front of him and asked without denying.

"Your Highness, although Shen Zhong is indeed conceited and power-hungry, his loyalty to Northern Qi is unquestionable. I think it may be very difficult to subdue him."

"So what's next depends on your actions. Only if you treat Shen Zhong more harshly and hurt him more deeply, will you be able to make him submit to me."

"Your Highness, have you already known my plan?" Sure enough, Su Ning's words surprised Fan Xian.

"That's not hard to guess! Northern Qi's internal strife is indeed fierce. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it."

Then Fan Xian looked at Su Ning with a puzzled expression and asked, "Then may I ask Your Highness an important question?"

"Tell me about it! But I can't guarantee an answer."

"Your Highness, why did you just say that you wanted Shen Zhong to submit to you, rather than the Nanqing court?" As expected, Fan Xian was very sensitive and noticed the abnormality in Su Ning's words.

"With so many brothers and sisters in a family, it's natural that they'll all be eyeing the family property. I can't help wanting to fight for it either. With so many women around me, I have to protect them."

"I see! Fan Xian understands."

"Go ahead! Just do what you want. I'll have Yan Bingyun hand over the Inspection Bureau's intelligence network in Northern Qi to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

In the original drama, Yan Bingyun did not believe Fan Xian and Wang Qinian. Instead, he fully utilized his associative ability and vigilance to constantly question Fan Xian. It was not until the end that Fan Xian repeatedly proved his strength and gained Yan Bingyun's recognition.

But now that Su Ning was the head of the delegation, things were different. After all, he was the sixth prince of Nanqing. Yan Bingyun handed over the entire intelligence network of the Inspection Institute in Northern Qi without hesitation.

Yan Bingyun, who had recovered some of his energy, wanted to send Miss Shen away. "Your Highness, can you please send Miss Shen back as soon as possible?"

"Ms. Shen, are you willing to go back?" However, Su Ning turned his head and looked at Miss Shen beside him and asked.

"Sixth Prince, I don't want to go back. I want to stay and take care of Yan Bingyun." As expected, Miss Shen is a complete love-brained person.

After receiving Miss Shen's reply, Su Ning turned to look at Yan Bingyun and said, "Yan Bingyun, you can see now that it is the most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. Don't let Miss Shen down."

"Your Highness, you misunderstood. I have no relationship with Miss Shen."

"You..." Miss Shen on the side showed an expression of disbelief.

Since the situation is now that the concubine has feelings for the man but he is heartless, Su Ning naturally looked at Miss Shen in front of him, "Miss Shen, how about I send someone to take you back home first? We can talk about you and Yan Bingyun later?"

"Thank you, Sixth Prince." Miss Shen bowed to Su Ning with a sad face.

"Don't thank me! You can help us a lot this time. I can agree to one of your requests."

"Sixth Prince, I don't have any requests right now."

"It's okay! Think about it slowly, there will always be something you need."

"Yes! Your Highness, Shen Rong is leaving."

"Ah."

After Su Ning sent Miss Shen away, he looked at Yan Bingyun, who had a blank expression on his face. "Yan Bingyun, you can see that Miss Shen likes you, but you really won't consider it?"

"Your Highness, I only care about the interests of my country and my family. It is impossible for me to have anything to do with the children of an enemy country." However, Tie Hanhan said with a firm look at a 45-degree angle.

"Okay! As long as you're happy."

Suning naturally couldn't understand Yan Bingyun's stubbornness, but he also understood that this was all intentional by Chen Pingping and Yan Ruohai. Yan Bingyun was originally trained to plot against Sean, so Yan Bingyun's thinking was so stubborn and extreme.

……

After Suning's guards personally escorted Miss Shen back to the Shen Mansion, Shen Zhong's face naturally turned livid. "Shen Rong, look at what you've done. Do you really want the Queen Mother to chop off my head?"

"Brother, I really like Yan Bingyun, and I am willing to do anything for him." However, Miss Shen is hopelessly obsessed with love.

"Even if it means betraying your country and your brother, are you willing to do it?"

"I……"

"Shen Rong, the Nanqing people are just trying to use you. There's no way that Yan Bingyun would like you."

"No! I don't care about that at all. As long as I can see him from time to time, that's all."

"Humph! A nympho."

……

It was an open secret that Lang Tao, Yun Zhilan and four other ninth-rank masters went to assassinate Su Ning and Fan Xian. Now, not only did Su Ning and Fan Xian arrive safely in the capital of Northern Qi, but three of the other four, Lang Tao and Yun Zhilan, also disappeared. Naturally, this caused a lot of speculation from the outside world.

The young Northern Qi emperor looked at the absent-minded Haitang Duoduo with a puzzled look on his face. "Haitang, I forgot to ask you a question. You had four ninth-rank masters go to assassinate him, but why did you come back alone?"

"Lang Tao and Yun Zhilan are all dead." Haitang Duoduo, who was thinking about Suning all the time, said directly.

"What? Did you encounter a Grand Master?"

"Almost? The Nanqing delegation is hiding a top master, not Hong Siyang and Yan Xiaoyi as we initially thought."

"Then...then what did your master Ku He say?"

"My master also encountered another master and was stopped by that master at that time."

"As your master's eldest disciple, did Lang Tao die in vain?"

"There's nothing I can do! I'm not strong enough, so I can only passively endure it." At this moment, Haitang Duoduo suddenly said something very philosophical, but in her mind, she was thinking about the erotic scene with Su Ning. "..."

Haitang Duoduo is now naturally obsessed with matters between men and women. Even if her soul has not been imprisoned by Su Ning, she will still think about Su Ning and herself day and night. In other words, she has truly fallen in love with Su Ning.

The young emperor of Northern Qi naturally didn't know about these things. When he saw Haitang Duoduo's face suddenly turn red, he thought that Haitang Duoduo was blushing because of shame, but he didn't expect that she was actually blushing because of love.

At this moment, the young Northern Qi emperor comforted Haitang Duoduo, "Haitang, don't put too much pressure on yourself. One day, Nanqing will pay the price."

"Huh? The emperor is right! I will never let the Sixth Prince of Nanqing go." As expected, the words of the little Northern Qi emperor made Haitang Duoduo grit her teeth viciously.

"Hmph! I've always heard that the Sixth Prince of Nanqing is extremely lustful. I didn't expect that seeing is truly believing. It seems we can make a move in this area."

"Eh? Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

"The Nanqing envoys have successfully rescued Yan Bingyun, and the sister of Jinyiwei Commander Shen Zhong is deeply in love with Yan Bingyun. If we allow Shen Zhong to present his sister to the Sixth Prince of Nanqing, do you think it will cause a rift between the emperor and his subjects?"

"Impossible! Forget about the fact that Shen Zhong is the Queen Mother's absolute confidant. We can't even think of ordering him around. Even with Shen Zhong's love for his sister, he wouldn't agree."

"Don't worry! All we need to do is get the Queen Mother to issue an order. Besides, how can we know if it works if we don't try it?"

"This..." Haitang Duoduo didn't expect things to develop in this way, and suddenly felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.

……

Then the young emperor of Northern Qi really took Haitang Duoduo with a constipated expression to the empress dowager, and then used both emotion and reason to instill his ideas into the empress dowager's head. You know, this matter is of great benefit to them, Northern Qi, and has no harm at all.

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi, adept at manipulating power, was indeed moved. She then personally summoned Shen Zhong, the commander of the Imperial Guard. "Shen Zhong, I heard that your sister played a key role in the Nanqing delegation's rescue of Yan Bingyun?"

"Empress Dowager, I know my crime! It's all my fault that I didn't teach my sister well enough, which led to her being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives." As expected, the Queen Mother's words made Shen Zhong kneel down in fear.

"Oh? Are you really being used by someone with ulterior motives?" However, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi asked back with disapproval.

"This...I, Shen Zhong, can use my own life as a guarantee." At this time, Shen Zhong naturally made the promise with a stiff upper lip.

"Lord Shen, we in Northern Qi have suffered such a great loss this time, and I allowed you to enter the palace just to get your revenge."

"Please give your instructions, Queen Mother." Shen Zhong, who was an absolute hawk in the Northern Qi court, became excited.

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi then revealed her astonishing plan, "Since Yan Bingyun of Nanqing is concerned about your sister Shen Rong, why not send your sister to the Sixth Prince? This will definitely create a rift between the Sixth Prince and Yan Bingyun."

"What? This is absolutely not allowed! Shen Rong is my only relative. How could I be so cruel as to use her?"

"Lord Shen, don't forget that your sister is already involved in this. Without your sister's help, the Nanqing delegation would not be able to rescue Yan Bingyun."

"This……"

"Lord Shen, think about this carefully. Yan Bingyun's father, Yan Ruohai, is the director of the Nanqing Inspection Institute. This will definitely bring us a huge surprise."

"..."

"Don't worry! No matter what, I won't harm the Sixth Prince and your sister. Isn't it a way to help your sister ascend to heaven?"

"Queen Dowager, please let me think about this."

"Well, then please, Lord Shen, give me a reply as soon as possible."

"Yes! Queen Mother."

With Shen Zhong's mind, he was naturally unwilling to agree to the Queen Mother's request. After all, this was his only relative in this world.

It's a pity that he offended too many people in Northern Qi, and it is very likely that the Queen Mother has become wary of him. So if the Queen Mother throws him aside like garbage one day, his sister Shen Rong's fate will naturally be very tragic. So after careful consideration, he agreed.

Shen Zhong returned home and went straight to his sister. "Shen Rong, at the last welcoming banquet for the diplomatic corps, things got really tense between the Emperor and the Sixth Prince of Nanqing, so the Empress Dowager is trying to find a way to smooth things over with the Sixth Prince."

"Brother, why are you telling me this?"

"The Queen Mother means to give you to the Sixth Prince as a maid. This should calm the Sixth Prince's suspense."

"What? How can you do this? I like Yan Bingyun."

"Shen Rong, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for falling in love with Yan Bingyun. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in this situation today."

"Brother, I don't want it!"

"Shen Rong, the Queen Mother has personally issued an order that forbids us from resisting."

“Wuwuwu… I don’t want to…”

Suning, who soon received the news, was also surprised, and then he immediately realized that this was another plan of Northern Qi.

However, Suning actually likes such "sugar-coated bullets" very much and even hopes that they can give themselves more such "sugar-coated bullets".

In fact, this plan is indeed very sinister and vicious, because Miss Shen is concerned about Yan Bingyun. Even if Su Ning gets Miss Shen's body, it will be useless because Miss Shen will definitely be thinking about the more handsome Yan Bingyun.

At that time, there will definitely be friction between Su Ning and Yan Bingyun, and at the very least, some gossip between the princes and ministers will arise. In any case, it will be a blow to Nanqing and Su Ning.

However, Northern Qi did not know that Suning was an omnipotent god, and naturally had plenty of ways to solve these problems, which doomed Northern Qi's plan to fail again.

Instead, Su Ning called over the key figure, Yan Bingyun. "Yan Bingyun, I'm sure you've also heard about the Northern Qi Queen Mother's decree. Do you have any thoughts?"

"I don't have any idea! I have nothing to do with Miss Shen." However, Yan Bingyun explained it again calmly.

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

Then, Su Ning took out a "Dust-Reducing Pill" and handed it to Yan Bingyun. "Well, I have a Dust-Removing Pill here. After taking it, you can forget everything that happened during this period. Are you willing to take it?"

"I am willing." Then Yan Bingyun took the "Forget Dust Pill" without hesitation and swallowed it directly, even if Su Ning gave him poison.

"Well, very good! You can go down and rest!"

"My minister retire."

In fact, Su Ning didn't need to go through so much trouble to take out the "Forget Dust Pill". It was easy to use magic to modify Yan Bingyun's memory. However, such matters ultimately depended on Yan Bingyun's own choice.

Then Su Ning directly erased all of Miss Shen's memories of Yan Bingyun, and then Miss Shen, as if she had been reborn, became Su Ning's maid. When Miss Shen and Yan Bingyun met, there was no spark at all.
