Chapter 1349

"He, he, the empress really is arrogant, not even putting this duke in her eyes. Even the emperor doesn't use this kind of tone to talk to this duke."

Duke Ning stared at Chen Ning and spoke in a cold and arrogant voice, looking like he did not put Chen Ning in his eyes at all.

He indeed looked down on Chen Ning at all.

He and Chen Ning's father, the country protecting duke Shen Fang, were both ministers and they were both West Chu ministers, but one was a scholar and one was a military officer, so they were not close to each other.

But there was another reason why he dared to publicly attack Chen Ning in front of all the ministers and nobles.

His heart ached the most for his precious daughter, Zhao Rong. After waiting for an entire three years, his daughter had finally returned to the capital city. This should have been a happy occasion, but who would have thought that his beloved daughter would appear in front of him in such a sorry state. She threw herself into his arms and cried that she had met a swindler on the way back to the capital city.

Not only had he been tricked out of his priceless carriage, he had even lost his beloved daughter's life.

When Duke Ning heard this, he was filled with rage. He immediately sent out large amounts of people to track down that swindler and gave the order to kill. As long as they found that swindler, they would be executed on the spot and killed without mercy.

With his status and power, he could be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people in West Chu. Adding in the fact that he had stood by Empress Dowager Zhou's side in the past, helping Mo Chuan ascend to the throne and after Mo Chuan ascended to the throne, he was very important to him. He had a high position and a high position. Although he had not gone to court for three years because of missing his daughter, in the entire court, no one dared to slight him at all.

If he wanted to kill a person, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Not to mention a swindler, even if the person he wanted to kill was an important minister of the court, he had the right to kill first and report later!

It was because of this reason that he had the capital and confidence to mock Chen Ning in front of everyone.

But the people he sent out were like looking for a needle in a haystack, they could not find the swindler Zhao Rong was talking about.

But very quickly, the Zhao Rong princess entered the palace and recognized Chen Ning. She told everything that had happened to Duke Ning on the day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

In front of Duke Ning, she naturally made it sound like she was wronged. She was like a little white flower that had been humiliated.

She said that she had not seen her cousin in three years and had come to the palace to visit him. Who would have thought that the empress Chen Ning would suddenly rush in and without a word, she would pour pepper water on her. She even sent the guards to slap her face before chasing her out of the palace.

She felt very wronged and went to find the Empress Dowager. Who would have thought that the empress Chen Ning would not even put the Empress Dowager in her eyes. She chased her to the Peaceful Life Palace and framed her for seducing the emperor, having an ambiguous relationship with the emperor. She even brought two nannies to examine her body. In the end, they did something during the examination, causing her to lose her innocence.

Zhao Rong Junzhu cried so hard in Duke Ning's arms that she almost fainted.

Her tearful complaint, which distorted the truth, was like gunpowder, almost made Duke Ning's stomach explode. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and an overwhelming killing intent and impulse quickly surged up in him!

His beloved daughter, who he cherished like a pearl in the palm of his hand, had actually suffered such humiliation and even lost her chastity. This was simply an unbearable monstrous rage!
