The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 424 Two Watches

Ning Wangkeng threw the spoon back into the bowl, and looked at her fixedly, his eyes were no longer as warm as before, and his eyes were heavy and deep: "What do you want to do?"

Concubine Ning raised her head, looked at him unblinkingly with a pair of apricot eyes, half-smiled, and half-sneered: "I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to tell His Highness, I don't care about His Highness's affairs, but if anyone If you want to kill Princess Rui, you have to kill me first."

King Ning's pupils shrank, as if he had experienced a huge shock. Although he had already developed the temperament of not changing his face when the mountain collapsed, a frost appeared on his eyebrows at this moment.

He clasped her wrist: "Those things about this king? You should explain clearly with this king, what things about this king!"

"The medicine is cold." Princess Ning smiled, and naturally broke away from King Ning's hand, and took the medicine bowl from his hand. She, who was always afraid of hardship, drank it all in one go, and there was not even a drop left.

She handed the empty bowl to King Ning: "Please put it away for me, Your Highness."

King Ning took a deep look at her, cold, complicated, and angry flashed in his eyes... But in the end, he suppressed all of them. He took the medicine bowl and put it on the table, calmed down, and said softly: "You have a good rest, I'll ask someone to send the three siblings back."

Princess Ning said indifferently: "I heard that aconitum is not as toxic as arsenic. I don't know, I haven't tried it."

King Ning had already got up and left. After hearing this, he turned around abruptly, looked at Princess Ning and said, "That's enough, Chu Yue! This king will not touch her!"

Chu Yue, Princess Ning's name, Su Xin is her character.

After the wedding, he never called her by her name directly.

Concubine Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Your Highness, you better remember what you said."

King Ning came out of Princess Ning's courtyard with an extremely cold expression.

The confidant followed quickly, and said to King Ning: "Master, do you really want to send Princess Rui back later? Do you want to—"

He said, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

King Ning looked at him coldly: "Who gave you the courage to do this?"

The confidant was taken aback for a moment: "It's not what His Highness said, Chen Guozhi can't gnaw on it, or simply..."

King Ning looked coldly and said, "Why? When will it be your turn to make decisions about this king?"

The confidant bowed his hands: "This subordinate dare not!"

King Ning put his hands behind his back, looked at the autumn scenery in the garden, and said calmly: "Send Princess Rui back, don't hurt her."

The confidant opened his mouth: "But..."

King Ning held back his anger and said, "She's already drinking poison to force me,

What else do you want me to do! "

The confidant's face changed, and he quickly responded: "Yes!"

"Wait." His confidant was about to send Princess Rui back to the mansion when King Ning stopped him, "Who came to the mansion yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" The confidant thought for a while and replied, "Doctor Gu from Miaoshoutang came here, it seems to be for the princess's follow-up visit."

"The follow-up consultation will be in three days." Ning Wang muttered, his eyes were deep, and he said, "When did Doctor Gu come? Before the princess sent someone to pick up Princess Rui, or after?"

"Before." Said the confidant.

King Ning narrowed his eyes.

Three days later, King Ning arrested someone and went to Prince Rui's mansion, and the crown prince showed up with him.

The prince was confused: "Brother, why did you ask me to go to Prince Rui's Mansion?"

King Ning said: "There are some things that I need to explain to my third younger brother and younger siblings in front of you."

Prince: "What's the matter?"

King Ning: "You will know in a while."

Rui Wang and his wife were also surprised, why did the prince condescend to come to Rui Wang's mansion?

Until King Ning asked his subordinates to bring a heavily tied man into King Rui's yard, they all opened their eyes wide.

"Wen Yang?" The prince was the first to recognize him.

This young man named Wen Yang is none other than Wen Linlang's own brother. He is twenty-six years old this year, and he is an ignorant dude.

When Wen Yang saw the prince, he cried out loudly: "Prince's brother-in-law! Prince's brother-in-law, save me!"

The prince asked puzzledly: "Brother, why did you arrest Wen Yang?"

To be honest, Wen Yang's reputation is not very good, the Crown Princess does not allow the Crown Prince to go out with her natal family, so the Crown Prince can only turn a blind eye.

Rui Wang and his wife also looked puzzled.

King Ning looked down at Wen Yang from a high position, his eyebrows were no longer the usual gentleness, but a bit of impartiality and sternness: "Did you sneak into the palace two days before the Moon Festival?"

Wen Yang was knelt down on the ground by King Ning's men, but he didn't have the strength to think about it: "I... I didn't secretly... I was... I went to see my sister!"

King Ning said coldly: "Entering the palace without summons is stealing, and it's useless to take the token of the Eastern Palace!"

Wen Yang shrank his neck.

It is not the first time that Wen Yang entered the palace with the token of the Eastern Palace. He was found twice, and the token was taken back by the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess's mother still had an emergency token of the Eastern Palace in her hand. The prince thought, probably this unfilial son stole Mrs. Wen's token.

King Ning continued to interrogate Wen Yang: "Did you hurt Chunying that day? Threatened the princess?"

The prince was slightly taken aback.

On the contrary, Princess Rui's complexion suddenly changed: "What? It's him?"

Prince: "What is he?"

King Ning nodded: "That's right, he was the man behind the rockery that day, and he was the one who talked to the princess."

Princess Rui was dumbfounded: "Then Guo Chen..."

King Ning shook his head: "It's just a misunderstanding on the part of Chen Guozhizi. I have already checked. He was not in the palace at all when the incident happened. Someone saw him go to a shop on the East Street to buy dried fish."

The prince asked suspiciously: "What are you guys talking about? I just can't understand."

King Ning looked at him and said, "It's like this. The third sibling heard that the Crown Princess was being threatened by someone in the palace that day. The Crown Princess slapped that person. Unfortunately, there was a slap mark on the face of Chen Guozhi... "

King Ning can't stop.

The prince understood, and his face turned cold: "Are you misunderstanding Lin Lang?"

Princess Rui's eyes flashed.

King Ning hurriedly smoothed things over: "How could we misunderstand the third sibling? Did the second brother forget about the assassination of the father by the assassins of the Chen Kingdom? Chen Guo is ambitious, and we are just worried that the Chen Guo proton will hurt the Crown Princess."

"Ah... yes, that's it!" King Rui hurried to help, he couldn't really say that they suspected that the Crown Princess had found a mistress outside, and from the current evidence, it seemed that the Crown Princess had been wronged.

The prince's face looked better now.

King Ning continued to interrogate Wen Yang: "You threatened the princess that day, you'd better tell me honestly, otherwise, even if you are the princess' brother, this king will still not spare you!"

Although Wen Yang is the prince's brother-in-law, Wen Linlang is the most important thing in the prince's heart, whoever hurts her will have trouble with him.

The prince looked at Wen Yang coldly: "What did you say to Lin Lang? Why did you threaten her!"

Wen Yang lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I...I...I just...just a little tight, I asked her for some money, but she refused to give it to me, so I threatened her... If you don't let me go, I will yell at the capital, Let the whole capital know that she is mean to her own brother, unfaithful, unfilial, ruthless and ungrateful!"

King Ning frowned and said, "That's it? Then why did she beat you?"

Wen Yang muttered: "I just said something to her."

The prince's face was livid: "What did you say, Lin Lang!"

Wen Yang cleared his throat, with a stubborn look: "I...I just said that she is so cruel-hearted, she deserves not to have children..."

These words are really heartbreaking!

Not to mention that Wen Linlang would slap him across the face, even the crown prince wished he could give him a few big mouths!

Seeing the prince's face gradually becoming cold and stern, Wen Yang's body trembled, and suddenly, with strength from nowhere, he broke free from the restraints of King Ning's hands, and rushed to hug the prince's leg: "I, I, I that day I was deceived by lard, and drank some wine... speak out, brother-in-law of the prince, just forgive me this time, I will never dare again! I am Lin Lang's own brother! Forgive me! You give One chance for me to reform myself!"

Princess Rui suddenly said, "Then why did you knock Chunying out?"

A woman's intuition is always more accurate. The only flaw in the whole thing is to knock Chunying out. Chunying is a servant brought by the Wen family, and she won't do anything to Wen Yang. Wen Yang has to knock her out Do you want to talk to the princess again?

Wen Yang's expression froze.

King Ning stroked the jade wrench on his thumb.

Wen Yang let go of the prince's leg, and said shamelessly: "I, I drank too much wine, and I was a little rough with Chunying... That girl didn't follow me... I just hit her... I never thought She fainted..."

The prince was furious: "Even if you dare to touch the female officials in the East Palace, I think you are going to die!"

Wen Yang knelt on the ground and slapped himself hard: "I'm confused! I'm damned! Please scold me, brother-in-law of the prince! Or you can beat me up! I won't dare again!"

Everyone is no stranger to what kind of virtue Wen Yang is. They thought that the Wen family would restrain themselves after the cable bridge collapse incident, but they seemed to be thinking too much.

"It's boring." Princess Rui curled her lips, thinking that she had caught Wen Linlang's adultery, but she never expected that it was just a dispute between siblings.

If there was an influence on Wen Linlang, it did, but it was pitifully small. After all, the whole capital knew that her natal family was unreliable.

King Ning had a panoramic view of Princess Rui's expression, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a light sip.

After all, it was a major event that alarmed King Ning and King Rui. In order to ensure that what Wen Yang said was not one-sided, the prince sent someone to the East Palace to call Chunying over.

Chunying's confession is consistent with Wen Yang's.

In fact, Wen Yang's confession is enough to win people's trust. After all, King Ning and Donggong are in opposing camps. It is impossible for King Ning to bribe Wen Yang, and Chunying's confession is to completely confirm Wen Yang's crime.

King Ning couldn't buy Wen Yang, let alone Chunying, at least the prince and Rui Wang thought so.

However, after the prince returned to the East Palace, he still talked to the princess about Wen Yang: "He came to look for you, why didn't you tell Gu?"

The princess was still recuperating on the bed. She lowered her eyes when she heard the words, and her black hair slid down her shoulders, making her pale and weak face even more.

"Your Highness." The Crown Princess said in a low voice, "How do you make the concubine speak about such a thing? The concubine's face is already ashamed to have such a brother, and will it embarrass His Highness if she talks about it?"

The prince said awkwardly: "Gu...that's not the meaning of lonely..."

In a restaurant in the capital.

Wen Yang poured a glass of wine for King Ning, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, did I perform well today?"

Behind King Ning stood two of his confidant guards, and next to the guards was Chunying with a tense expression.

King Ning glanced at Wen Yang with a smile, and hooked his fingers to the two guards. They brought a small box from another room and put it on the table. After opening it, it was full of gold.

Wen Yang's eyes straightened: "This, this, this is really for me?"

King Ning smiled: "Isn't Mr. Wen a little tight? These are my thanks to you."

"No, you don't have to be so polite..." Wen Yang smiled and took the box into his arms, picked up a gold bar and bit it.

real!

real gold!

Wen Yang smiled brighter: "Your Highness, you are so kind! Much better than my stingy brother-in-law of the prince! If my sister had married you back then..."

Halfway through the conversation, I remembered that Wen Linlang could not marry back then. His sister had a marriage contract with the young master since childhood, and before the death of the young master, King Ning had already married the daughter of the Chu family.

With his sister's beauty, being a concubine is absolutely impossible.

Besides, the princess is not bad either.

Wen Yang said: "In the future, when my sister becomes a queen, I will be the uncle of the country, and I will definitely repay Your Highness!"

King Ning looked at him with a half-smile: "Why don't you ask me why I asked you to play this scene?"

Wen Yang didn't care much and said: "Didn't you say to rescue my sister?"

King Ning nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's for Lin Lang."

Wen Yang didn't ask any questions, he didn't care or care, Wen Yang waved his hand, and the next second, he sat upright and looked at King Ning suddenly.

He stammered: "Lin, Lin Lang?"

King Ning smiled: "Yes, Lin Lang."

Wen Yang's smile gradually froze: "Your Highness, you treat my sister..."

King Ning looked at the box in his arms, and smiled warmly: "Is the gold enough? If not, there is still more in my king's place."

Wen Yang shut up.

...

Coming out of the restaurant, Wen Yang patted King Ning on the shoulder drunkenly: "Your... Your Highness... don't worry... I... will never say anything... I am the most loyal... From today Come on...you are my friend!"

Ning Wang said with a gentle smile, "Okay."

Wen Yang stumbled towards the alley, where his carriage was parked.

Chunying looked at her son's drunk appearance, and felt worried.

King Ning took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then smiled and said, "Be clean."

The confidant replied: "Yes!"

Chunying's face was pale...

...

The next day, a major event happened in the capital—Wen Yang died.

It was because the carriage broke down on the way home and turned into a small pond. When Wen Yang was fished out, Wen Yang had already drowned.

The Jingzhao Mansion launched an investigation into the matter, and the result of the investigation was an accident. Wen Yang's coachman failed to see the stones on the road and broke the wheel. Both he and Wen Yang fell into the water.

The coachman swam up with all his might, but Wen Yang was not so lucky when he was drunk.

But others suspect that it was not an accident.

In the teahouse, many people were discussing this matter.

"It is said that the prince killed it." A young man said.
