Chapter 778: Love Worthy of Admiration
However, Ning Shu never expected for An Lingyun to actually secretly open the door and let An You out. The moment An You got out, he rushed towards the palace.
When Ning Shu went over to deliver the meal and saw An Lingyun in the room, her facial color rapidly changed. She grabbed An Lingyun by her collar and dragged her to the ancestral hall, then kicked her legs so that she felt to a kneel.
“Mother!” cried An Lingyun in pain. She felt like her kneecaps had shattered. She looked at Ning Shu disbelievingly, “How can you treat me this way?”
Ning Shu said coldly, “Reflect properly in front of our ancestors. The entire general’s residence is going to be destroyed because of you.”
Lingyun didn’t get it, but she was scared of how cold Ning Shu’s expression was. She was about to say more, but she saw her mother quickly walk out and lock up the ancestral hall. “If you can’t figure it out, then continue kneeling until you do.”
Ning Shu headed straight to the stable, grabbed a horse, and leapt onto its back to head towards the imperial palace.
It was seriously a case of going mad with love. What kind of place was the imperial palace for An You to break into just because he wanted to? An You had already lost all rationality. All that there was in his head was Mingzhu.
Exactly what kind of power would make someone become so crazed and stupid? Was it really love? If it was, then love was truly frightening.
The current An You barely had any human characteristics anymore.
When Ning Shu reached the palace doors, she saw that An You was currently fighting with the guards and shouting that he wanted to see Princess Mingzhu.
“Let this general in! This general must see Princess Mingzhu!”
“General An, you don’t have a permission tablet, nor did His Majesty give a decree summoning you, so you can’t enter the palace. If you insist on trying to break in, I’ll have no choice but to treat you as an assassin and take you down.”
“I just want to enter the palace to see Princess Mingzhu and the little prince to see if they’re doing well. I’ll be out right away,” said An You, restraining his temper.
When Ning Shu heard what he said, she was stuck between tears and laughter. Was the imperial palace your frickin’ house for you to enter and leave as you pleased? And he mentioned Princess Mingzhu in every single breath. Had he considered Princess Mingzhu’s reputation at all?
Did An You truly love Princess Mingzhu? He seriously didn’t seem to care about her reputation.
Ning Shu hastily got off the horse and yanked An You back. When An You saw her, he immediately demanded, “What are you doing here? Are you also here to stop me?”
“I’m telling you, I won’t go back before I see Mingzhu!” An You tried to shake off Ning Shu’s hand, but he found that her grip was unnaturally strong, he couldn’t shake it off at all.
She could care less about him trying to get killed, but there was no way she’d let him drag the general’s residence down with him.
Ning Shu had never seen someone go crazy. He looked like he had caught rabies from being bit by a crazed dog.
She had learned something new once again.
Once again, she’s witnessed how love worthy of admiration required such hysteria.
Of the love Ning Shu had seen, it was all either just mutual hurt, or trampling on others without any principles, or hysteria that ignored everything else.
What the hell? Love was something between two people, so why did so many people have to be dragged into the love battlefield?
The fudge?
Ning Shu didn’t bother to respond and directly knocked him out with a hand chop. She got An You onto the horse, then dug out a purse to give to the guards, saying, “I apologize for this, please pardon us. General An had gotten drunk.”
The guard weighed the purse in his hand to estimate the amount of money, then generously treated it like this entire event never happened.
