Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Those two guards couldn’t see it clearly either.

They only felt a blur before their eyes, and the lofty figure holding the sword had already disappeared from their sight.

The next moment, they were immobilized.

“Well done, Gucheng.” Jiang Ning clapped her hands and applauded.

Gucheng held his sword and returned behind her, assisting with the wheelchair.

His sword hadn’t even been drawn from its scabbard.

Not everyone was worthy of having his sword drawn against them.

The two Imperial Guards stood at the entrance, watching from afar like dutiful guards. However, if one were to approach and observe, something would seem off.

Their expressions were horrified, and their faces slightly stiff.

“What did you do to them?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Sealed their acupoints.” Gucheng pushed her and answered succinctly.

After all, this place was the East Palace, where countless eyes were watching. It was not appropriate for Gucheng to kill or injure the two guards, regardless of the method.

Moreover, these guards were just following orders to stand guard and hadn’t done anything wrong.

It was enough to immobilize them.

Although they would feel uncomfortable afterward, they wouldn’t suffer any real injuries.

Jiang Ning’s eyes sparkled: “This technique is really useful, I want to learn it too.”

“Alright.” Gucheng hadn’t refused any of Jiang Ning’s requests to this day.

Jiang Ning asked, “Will you teach me?”

“Yes.”

“Great, once the Concubine Xian affair is over, I’ll learn from you.” Jiang Ning was already fantasizing about how to practically apply the acupoint-sealing technique once she had learned it.

After thinking for a while, she asked the crucial question: “How long will it take to learn and be as good as you?”

“Ten years.”

Jiang Ning let out a dry laugh and fell silent.

Of course, Gucheng wouldn’t take the initiative to speak either.

Both master and servant walked in silence for a while before Jiang Ning couldn’t help but ask: “How old are you? You’ve already learned for ten years?”

Gucheng silently shook his head.

“Can’t you talk to me more? Maybe speak some longer sentences!” Jiang Ning knew Gucheng wouldn’t disobey her command.

As expected, after a long period of silence, Gucheng finally spoke slowly: “I don’t know how old I am. But when I started following the Great General, I was still a child, and it’s been more than ten years by now+”

“Wow, what a long sentence, well said! You’re amazing, Gucheng!”

Jiang Ning didn’t hesitate to praise him.

Gucheng silently listened, thinking that the tone she had used to praise the two little princes a few days ago was similar.

On the way, they encountered two concubines. Seeing the young man in black pushing a wheelchair, they instinctively wanted to turn away but had already met face to face, so how could they dare to walk away directly?

First, the Princess Consort dealt with the Crown Prince and the Princess Consort, then she subdued Concubine Xian, and now she was very likely the murderer behind the death of Concubine Xian.

Such a fierce person was not someone these small concubines dared to provoke.

Jiang Ning leaned on her chin and sat in the wheelchair, watching them lower their heads and carefully move to the side of the road, bowing to her.

Jiang Ning laughed, “You are my elders, I can’t accept such a grand gesture.”

“Oh no, we do not dare to accept that title.”

The two concubines instantly turned pale.

Oh my, what good would it do them to be her elder?

Concubine Xian relied on her seniority to act as an elder in front of Jiang Ning, and ended up completely submitting to her.

Not to mention Concubine Xian…

Upon mentioning her, the expression of the younger concubines became even stranger.

Wasn’t the Princess Consort confined to the East Palace? How did she come out?

Looking at the two concubines, who were both fearful and curious but didn’t dare to ask, Jiang Ning kindly volunteered to explain: “Ah, I don’t know if the weather is going to change again, but my leg feels uncomfortable again. So, I’m going to see the Imperial Physician..”
