Chapter 199: Nianying is annoying

The moment he heard the scream, Jiang Shenyuan felt disgusted.

...this idiot.

The subordinate approached and lowered his voice: "Sir, we..."

Jiang Shenyuan lowered his eyes: "It's time to set off."

The subordinate was stunned. Didn't you hear the "Sir"? He tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

On the other side, Cen Yaoxin waited and waited, but in the end there was no movement. She could not help but shrink back and sit there obediently.

Did she sense something was wrong?

She asked Master Ruan, "Did Xiao He offend the people in that carriage?"

Master Ruan stopped what he was doing and said, "I don't know."

"Do you know who your master is escorting?"

"I... don't know." Master Ruan said embarrassedly.

Cen Yao's heart choked in his throat. He knew nothing, so he could only be a knife to others!

At this moment, in the carriage, Cheng Nianying watched the prince shrink back into his seat in embarrassment, with a look of resentment on his face, but he really couldn't muster any more momentum.

Although he was still alive, his life was very different.

——Now we should no longer call him “Crown Prince”, we should call him Zhong Dingyuan.

"You are crazy!" Zhong Dingyuan blurted out three words.

Cheng Nianying ignored it.

She leaned sideways and waited quietly for a while... Jiang Shenyuan did not come to save Zhong Dingyuan.

From the conversation between Commander Jiang and Zhong Dingyuan just now, she vaguely felt that Jiang Shenyuan did not respect the deposed prince very much.

Her feeling was right.

"You are so brave..." Zhong Dingyuan squeezed out the sound from between his teeth again.

Cheng Nianying still ignored him.

Zhong Dingyuan hadn't waited for any external help, so if he continued to speak harshly, it would only add to the jokes. He himself realized this.

So for a moment there was an eerie silence in the carriage.

Zhong Dingyuan covered his wrist with his hand, his face changing from gloomy to bright. He saw that Cheng Nianying was no different from before.

It seemed that whether he was alive or not did not scare her.

He held his breath and asked maliciously, "Does Fu Yi know your true identity?"

Why do you always ask this?

Only then did Cheng Nianying pay him a little attention, and then caught a hint of gloating anticipation in Zhong Dingyuan's eyes.

Cheng Nianying knew. They asked this question just because they were waiting to see Fu Yi make a fool of himself.

Cheng Nianying was a little unhappy.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Zhong Dingyuan couldn't tell for a moment whether her weakness had been exposed or she was just cold-hearted and ignored him.

But since it had already begun, ending it like this would have seemed sloppy. Zhong Dingyuan simply continued, "If he knew, he would definitely wish you dead."

“…”

"But it doesn't matter. Fu Yi won't live long anyway. Will you breathe a sigh of relief then? Or shed a few tears for him? I wonder if you assassins have the principle of a night of love that lasts a hundred days?"

Cheng Nianying's eyelids trembled slightly, barely perceptible.

Will Fu Yi live long?

Why do you say that?

Zhong Dingyuan walked forward slightly annoyed and said, "Are you a piece of wood?"

He had said so much, but she was still cold.

This made Zhong Dingyuan realize even more clearly that he was no longer the crown prince, no one would flatter him, and no one would even pay attention to him!

The feeling of humiliation surged through Zhong Dingyuan's bones.

The wrist bones were also throbbing, and a tearing pain continued to come.

"Do you know why I'm still alive?" he asked grimly.

Cheng Nianying decided to continue his conversation.

She uttered hesitantly: "You are the emperor's son, the emperor is reluctant to kill you?"

Zhong Dingyuan quickly concealed the darkness in his eyes at that moment.

Is that because of this?

He hoped so.

"Your Majesty has learned that Fu Yi deliberately framed me in order to have Your Majesty abolish my position as Crown Prince and thus instigate a conflict among the other princes."

"A new emperor appoints new ministers. Fu Yi is anxious. He sees that my father is old and frail, and he doesn't want me to cause trouble for him after I ascend the throne."

"So he wants to let the princes kill each other, and then use the opportunity to pick out a weak and vulnerable one and support him to ascend to the throne. This way, even after his father's death, his position will be guaranteed to remain unshakable, and he may even rise to a higher level!"

"I'm afraid it's not impossible for him to become a regent in the future!"

"He is extremely ambitious and his heart is worthy of death."

As Zhong Dingyuan spoke, his handsome face became slightly ferocious, and he was truly filled with anger and hatred.

"Unfortunately, he doesn't know that my father has already seen through his intentions. And I am the key to his future conviction."

"He dared to frame the Crown Prince, deceive the Emperor, and wield power to such an extent... Even being torn into pieces by five horses would be considered a light punishment."

Cheng Nianying's eyelids twitched when she heard this.

The emperor wants to kill Fu Yi?

When Zhong Dingyuan returns to the Imperial Capital, will Fu Yi die?

Cheng Nianying opened her mouth.

She wanted to say that Fu Yi didn't frame you, it was obviously Prince Rui...but she couldn't say it.

If she said it, Jiang Shenyuan would know it.

She felt even more unhappy.

The unhappiness slowly turned into a huge stone, weighing heavily on her heart.

She also didn't like them waiting to see Fu Yi make a fool of himself.

If I had known this would happen, I would have let the emperor punish everyone in the Wuning Marquis's Mansion.

But that doesn't work either.

If Qin Yurong's affair gets out, they will still have to make fun of Fu Yi.

Cheng Nianying felt a tightness in his chest and suddenly raised his head.

"Do you still dare to attack me now? In the future, my father will reinstate me as the crown prince..." Zhong Dingyuan had just finished speaking.

"Bang!" Cheng Nianying punched him on the head.

She should go and save Fu Yi.

＊

Just when Cheng Nianying and his group had almost disappeared after they set off, the Pei Jia brothers arrived at the gate of the Hanging Temple.

Pei Jia looked into the distance, but there was no shadow of her. He suddenly felt melancholy and said, "She left just like that. I don't know when we'll see each other again. Her injuries haven't healed yet..."

"Xiao He has returned to Imperial Capital, so there's no need to deliver the letter she wanted to send to Prince Danshuo."

Pei Jia muttered to himself incessantly.

Pei Yu didn't sigh with him, but suddenly said, "I want to give it to you."

"Hmm? She met Prince Danshuo when she returned."

"It must be delivered. She left with Jiang Shenyuan, and I'm afraid that Prince Danshuo might have misunderstood her. Only by sending this letter can we prove her innocence!"

Pei Jia muttered: "If he doubts Xiao He because of this, then it's his fault..."

"Don't test humanity."
