Fortunate Young Gentleman

The antidote for Anshenxiang was not easy to prepare. The fourth elder was busy all night and told Tang Ning in the morning that it would take several hours to prepare the antidote.

Chen Huang has survived half a year and is not in a hurry for these few hours.

Because she was worried about the antidote, Tang Ning did not go to the office today. On the contrary, A Duo ran out early in the morning. She is a native mountain girl. When she came to such a big city outside the mountains, she felt so excited in a short time. It cannot subside.

In the study, Qing'er stood behind Tang Ning and pressed his shoulders. Xiu'er put the peeled grapes into his mouth. After dealing with poisonous insects, snakes and rats in Guizhou for so long, he returned home. , Tangning was actually a little uncomfortable with the life of being served.

The appearance of Xiao Jue and Chen Zhou broke Tang Ning's peaceful and comfortable morning.

One of them is General Ximen Guard, and the other is General Zuo Xiaowei Right. They appeared in front of Tang Ning with solemn expressions. Something big must have happened.

"Your Majesty has issued an edict." Xiao Jue said with a gloomy look on his face: "A notice has been posted at the entrance of the palace. Prince Duan is now the crown prince. The canonization ceremony will be held in three days."

Seeing that Tang Ning didn't respond, he stuffed a crystal-clear grape into his mouth, frowned and said, "Are you listening to me?"

Tangning spit out the grape seeds, then slowly stood up and said, "Don't worry, the canonization ceremony won't be held."

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows: "You want to take action?"

"Anyway, don't worry, just take a good look at it this time." This matter has not yet been determined. Otherwise, something unexpected might happen. Tang Ning does not plan to reveal more to Xiao Jue for the time being.

The crime committed by King Duan and Concubine Tang Hui was the same as King Kang's. In a sense, it was more serious than King Kang's last time.

King Kang's rebellion was his own fault, and Concubine Zhang Xian did not know about it, so her fate was just to be thrown into the cold palace.

But Concubine Tang Hui is different. She is the absolute mastermind of the poisoning of Emperor Chen this time, and the Tang family must also be involved. Once a thorough investigation is carried out, the capital will surely encounter a bloody July.

It would take about two hours for the fourth elder's antidote to be ready. It was already afternoon at that time, and it was still early. After Xiao Jue left, Tang Ning and Chen Zhou walked out of the Tang Mansion and told him some things. Suddenly they saw a person rushing ran towards Tang Mansion.

Tang Ning had some impression of the middle-aged man. He was the shopkeeper of a store owned by the Tang family. When he saw Tang Ning, he immediately stepped forward and said anxiously, "Sir, it's bad, something happened to the store..."

Before Tang Ning left the capital, she handed over all the stores to Princess Anyang. Princess Anyang had a great reputation in the capital. Logically speaking, no one should dare to cause trouble in the store. Even if there was something wrong with the store, he should go to Princess Anyang. .

Tangning looked at him and said, "Speak slowly, which shop had an accident and what happened?"

"That rouge shop on East Street..." the shopkeeper said, "Ah, something happened to Miss A'duo..."

Tang Ning gave A'duo 10,000 taels of silver for shopping, and also gave her a sign. With that jade sign, she could make purchases at any store under Tangrenzhai without paying any money. In the past few days, various places in Beijing had The shopkeepers of big stores all know her.

Hearing that A'duo was in an accident, Tangning's face darkened and she asked, "What happened, where is A'duo?"

The shopkeeper said: "Someone was making trouble in the store, and Miss A'duo happened to be there, so she stood up for us and accidentally hurt those people. Later, someone from Prince Duan's Mansion came and took her away..."

"Prince Duan's Mansion?" Tangning looked at him and asked, "Why Prince Duan's Mansion?"

The shopkeeper said: "Because, those people who are making trouble are people from Prince Duan's Mansion. During the period when your Excellency is away from the capital, people from Prince Duan's Mansion are making trouble in our store from time to time..."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, a carriage drove from a distance and stopped at the door of Tang's house. Princess Anyang got off the carriage and asked Tang Ning the next moment: "You are the one who had a conflict with the people from Prince Duan's Mansion. friend?"

Tang Ning nodded, whispered a few words to Chen Zhou, got on Princess Anyang's carriage, and said, "Go to Prince Duan's Mansion."

"Hey, wait a minute..." Princess Anyang followed Tang Ning up and said, "Why are you going to Prince Duan's Mansion?"

Tang Ning said, "I need someone."

"Don't be so impulsive." Princess Anyang looked at him and said helplessly: "You don't know yet, but His Majesty has already issued an edict to establish Prince Duan as the crown prince..."

Tangning asked, "What about the prince?"

"You..." Princess Anyang looked even more helpless and said, "Although you are the prime minister, you can't openly oppose the prince..."

Tangning did not continue the topic, but looked at Princess Anyang and asked, "During the time I left the capital, Prince Duan's people often made trouble in the store?"

Princess Anyang sighed and said: "Since the first month after you left, they have often come to find trouble. At that time, King Duan had almost taken control of the government, and I did not dare to conflict with him..."

Tang Ning handed over the shop to Princess Anyang because she was worried that if he was not in the capital, the officials and dignitaries in the capital who had enmity with him would take their grievances elsewhere. At that time, Prince Duan had almost been abandoned by Emperor Chen, so he did not consider Tang Ning's plans. within the range.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Huang's physical condition took a turn for the worse, and Prince Duan came back to the stage. Princess Anyang could suppress the powerful people in the capital, but she couldn't suppress Prince Duan.

Seeing that Tang Ning had no intention of turning back, Princess Anyang continued to persuade: "Prince Duan is already the prince. His Majesty is seriously ill and cannot govern. After the crown prince's canonization ceremony, he will be able to exercise the power of the emperor on your behalf. Don't be impulsive about this matter." , we should take a long-term approach..."

Tangning did not take Princess Anyang's words to heart.

Not to mention that the canonization ceremony of Prince Duan could not be held, even if he had nothing to do with Emperor Chen's poisoning and was the real crown prince, it did not mean that he could touch Tang Ning's people.

If it hadn't been for the discovery of the Fourth Elder and the letter Tang Ning received, and the canonization ceremony of Prince Duan being held at the same time, there would have been a coup that swept the entire capital.

Seeing that Tang Ning was still unmoved, Princess Anyang could only spy. At most, she would arrive at Prince Duan's Mansion, and then she would mediate. She thought that Prince Duan would not go too far for her sake.

When Tang Ning and Princess Anyang rushed to Prince Duan's Mansion, there was a different scene inside Prince Duan's Mansion.

Half of the guards in the mansion were protecting King Duan behind him, and the other half were surrounding a young girl. What was strange was that dozens of grown men surrounded a young girl, but they only dared to surround her, tremblingly. Don't dare to step forward.

There were several people lying on the ground next to the little girl. Their faces were black and they were foaming at the mouth. They looked very miserable, which was why they did not dare to step forward.

King Duan hid behind others and broke out in a cold sweat.

Today is one of the most important days in his life. His father issued an edict early in the morning to confer him the title of prince. He has been waiting for this day for twenty years, and the joy in his heart is naturally indescribable.

As soon as he received the news, he held a banquet at home and invited his party officials in the court. As soon as the banquet was set, servants came to report that they had captured a woman who might be related to Tang Ning... …

If it weren't for Tang Ning, perhaps he would have seen this edict conferring the crown prince two years ago. The person whom King Duan hated the most was naturally Tang Ning.

It was precisely because he hated Tang Ning so much that he stopped Tang Ning's family back and launched various attacks on his stores in Beijing after Tang Ning left...

The woman injured the palace guard and was brought back outnumbered. Prince Duan originally wanted to make her suffer a little, so as to avenge some of his grudges against Tangning in advance...

But he didn't expect that just as he was about to be tortured, those people fell to the ground one by one before they could get close, with their faces turning blue and foaming at the mouth. This strange situation really frightened him.

King Duan looked at the guards in front and said angrily: "What are you doing standing still? There are so many of you, are you still afraid of a woman?"

Prince Duan was now the crown prince, and disobeying his orders would be disrespectful. The guards looked at each other and looked at the woman surrounded by them, and a cruel expression began to appear on their faces.
