Seeing that there was no fear of Chengxi on Qiao Nian's face, King Ming couldn't help but become curious about where Qiao Nian wanted to take him.

At that moment, he nodded slightly, with a smile full of contempt.

He didn't think Qiao Nian could escape his control.

How could a prey brought to him by his parents' hands escape his grasp?

But he didn't expect that Qiao Nian would take him to Yuanlai Teahouse.

It was when they made an appointment, but Lin Ye arranged the correspondence, so that they never met in person in the end.

The teahouse has two floors. There is a small stage set up in the center of the hall on the first floor. There are singers and performers on the stage all year round.

But today, the person on the stage is a storyteller.

The story seems to be very exciting, and the tea drinkers around are listening attentively.

Qiao Nian and Ming Wang took their seats under the guidance of the waiter in the teahouse.

But just as the waiter finished serving the tea, Prince Ming's expression changed.

Just because the storyteller was not telling other people's stories, but his!

Even though he had never heard of the names of the characters in the book, he could still clearly understand that the 'heavenly eunuch' that the storyteller talked about with so much embarrassment was him!

Immediately a wave of anger welled up in his chest, and King Ming made a move to throw the cup and flip the table.

But I heard Qiao Nian's voice coming slowly, "I advise the prince to sit quietly, otherwise, there will be no money left here."

King Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qiao Nian again.

I saw a smile on her lips, and even her eyes were filled with a faint smile.

It's so light that it can't even be considered a contemptuous smile!

He finally realized, "Did you arrange this storyteller?"

No wonder she brought him to this teahouse!

Qiao Nian did not deny it. She looked at the storyteller not far away and asked seriously, "What do you think, Your Majesty? If there is anything you are not satisfied with, I can let them change it."

This statement is tantamount to directly admitting that the storyteller was arranged by her.

King Ming was furious.

If he could, he wished he could just kick Qiao Nian to the ground and beat her severely.

But, in full view of everyone, he must not do that!

At the moment, he just gritted his teeth and shouted coldly, "Do you think relying on this storyteller can protect you?"

"Not just this storyteller, I have bribed all the storytellers in Beijing." Qiao Nian's voice was still light and not anxious at all, but the words he said could make King Ming choke with anger.

Just listen to her continue, "Of course, the prince can also bribe these storytellers, but in addition to the storytellers, I have also contacted several theaters, and the play scripts have almost been written. There are also various story books... As long as I don’t die, Your Majesty’s bad news will be spread through countless channels.”

However, Prince Ming did not dare to beat her to death!

King Ming almost crushed his fist to pieces. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "What do you want!"

Qiao Nian looked at him and smiled coldly, "What I want is very simple. From now on, restrain the perverted desires in your heart. It's not just me. If I know that you dare to take anyone to the west of the city, Then the next day, King Ming’s scandal will be known to everyone!”

The emperor loved Concubine De Gui so much, why did he send their children to Jiancheng, which was so far away from Beijing?

Because, I am afraid of losing face.

He was afraid that others would know that the son of the majestic king of his country was actually a eunuch!

If this matter finally becomes known to everyone, then Prince Ming will never think of returning to the capital again in this life, not to mention just marrying to the Hou Mansion, even if he marries to the powerful Prime Minister's Mansion!

And when the time comes, for King Ming, it won't matter whether he returns to the capital or not.

What matters is his face and his dignity as a man!

No one must know about his physical disability!

King Ming's whole body was trembling, and he suppressed the anger tightly in his heart, not daring to burst out even a little bit.

But he was puzzled, "How did you know?"

Not many people knew about his physical disability!

Qiao Nian didn't answer, but King Ming quickly thought of something, "Is it the maid who was transferred from the Huanyi Bureau to serve the mother-in-law? What is her name, Liu Niang?"

He thought that only people close to his mother and concubine could find out something about him!

Qiao Nian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She couldn't drag Liu Niang into the water.

But she didn't show it on her face and just said, "Liu Niang is just a palace maid responsible for cleaning. I'm afraid she doesn't have the ability to know these private matters of the prince."

Hearing this, King Ming also felt that it made sense. If such a humble palace maid could know his affairs, wouldn't his affairs have already been known to everyone?

But if it wasn’t Liu Niang, who could it be?

Who knows the secret of his injury?

Another figure appeared in Prince Ming's mind.

At that moment, even the whole person's aura dropped.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at Qiao Nian, "Is it Xiao Heng?"

Qiao Nian felt that if Prince Ming wanted to deal with Xiao Heng, it would be better than dealing with Liu Niang.

So he didn't respond, he just smiled at Prince Ming, then picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

Such a move was regarded as acquiescence by King Ming.

He suddenly stood up from his position, his chest heaving violently with extreme anger.

Facing the strange looks from all around, he suppressed his anger and whispered, "I have important matters to attend to today, so I'll take my leave."

After that, he strode away.

As he left, the teahouse began to discuss quietly.

Qiao Nian sipped the tea in her hand, and the cunning corners of her mouth became more and more intense.

Tsk, he is really impatient.

Didn't she say that there should be no silver here?

After solving the matter of King Ming, Qiao Nian slowly sipped the tea before returning to the mansion.

Before she returned to her Fanghe Garden, she saw Mrs. Lin leading Lin Yuan to walk towards her quickly from a distance.

A chill rose in her heart, and her good mood was cooled down a lot because of seeing the mother and daughter of the Lin family.

However, Mrs. Lin hurriedly walked to her and looked her up and down, from front to back, "Are you okay?"

Her tone was a bit unbelievable.

So, in Mrs. Lin's view, she should come back with injuries after leaving with King Ming today.

She had said before that the King of Ming would be concerned about the Marquis's Mansion and her friendship with Concubine De. Obviously, she herself did not believe these words.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian's eyes were cold again.

She was also somewhat relieved in her heart.

She was relieved that she had long stopped believing their lies and that she had found a way to survive.

Seeing that Qiao Nian did not speak, Lin Yuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Nian's hand, "Sister, did the King of Ming beat you again? Yes, how about this, I will take the beating for you in the future, and you spare Xiao Cui, okay?"
