Chapter 85 Strange

Mother Zou saw Cheng Nianying coming back from a distance. She still had one hand on the hood strap, her fingertips clenched tightly, which made Mother Zou frown.

Then I heard Aunt Shi sighing behind me: "Who wouldn't like this?"

"Of course," Mother Zou replied, and quickly took the lead to greet her: "Why did the Princess come back so soon?"

Cheng Nianying walked in as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing serious. Prince Liang and Prince Rui exchanged a few words and then left."

Nanny Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "You left so quickly today. In the past, would you have given up so easily?"

"Really? I heard him just say a few harsh words." Cheng Nianying stopped walking. "Oh, and he even used a knife."

"What? Surgery?" Mother Zou had never seen such a scene before. Her face turned pale and her tongue was curled when she spoke again. "That was the prince..."

Nanny Shi's face showed no trace of fear or panic. She simply asked, "There shouldn't be any blood, right?"

"No, I was just showing off my skills with my knife to scare people."

Nanny Shi smiled with relief. The more she looked at the Princess, the more surprising she was. Not only was she considerate and caring towards the Prince, but she was also able to remain calm at times like this, without a trace of panic!

She and Madam Zou supported Cheng Nianying on either side, saying as they walked, "They tend to say things that are not very pleasant to the ear. Princess, please don't take them to heart."

Nanny Shi knew that Prince Liang and others liked to call someone a "flatterer", and she didn't want her master's image in the Princess's heart to be damaged at all.

How could she know that Cheng Nianying had heard these words long ago. That day, the prince lost his temper and even threatened to have Fu Yi torn to pieces.

However, after hearing what Madam Shi said, Cheng Nianying actually remembered a passage.

She asked, "What kind of friendship did Princess Zhaoning have with the prince in the past?"

Aunt Shi was shocked: "Where did this come from?"

"Prince Rui said so."

Nanny Shi didn't dare to say anything and could only say dryly, "I don't know..."

She changed the subject and came up with a better solution: "Why don't you ask the master directly?"

Cheng Nianying responded with "hmm" and walked in.

Since she still couldn't take a bath, Madam Shi only took her cloak and helped her to bed. Everyone left quickly, fearing to disturb her rest.

Only Mother Zou was left. She sat down on the footstool beside the bed and said worriedly, "Princess Zhaoning, although a princess, is much more difficult than that Miss Muhe."

She thought to herself, after all, I am the one in the same group with the young lady. Nanny Shi is usually nice, but now she is hesitant. Her only concern is for Prince Danshuo.

This is good, it makes the difference between her and me clear.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I found out who my sister's lover is."

Mother Zou was so shocked that she cried out, "Ouch!" "This, this..."

"That man... is very bad." He has been acting everywhere in the name of the prince, dragging many women into the game. He is so bad, so bad.

He is also so good at disguising himself.

Cheng Nianying recalled that at the palace banquet, he took the initiative to talk to her, and he was completely different from when they fought before.

He was looking at her that day, observing her closely.

He also looked for something unusual in her.

Thinking of how she knew nothing at that time, Cheng Nianying felt a chill.

Mother Zou asked in a trembling voice, "So... you still want to kill him? In my opinion, since this matter has not been exposed for such a long time, I believe... I believe he will not mention it again. Why not just pretend that it never happened?"

"The knife is in his hand. He has the final say on when he will pierce through. How can one put his life in the hands of others?"

"But the last time you made a move, it caused such a big commotion..."

"Hmm." Cheng Nianying thought about it seriously, "I have to learn from the prince."

"What did you say?"

A noble man can kill someone without getting a drop of blood on his sleeves.

How can I borrow the help of a noble person?

Cheng Nianying closed her eyes and said, "I'm going to rest. When the people from Wuning Marquis' Mansion return to the capital, you have to tell them that I want to see your wife."

"Then Princess Zhaoning..."

Cheng Nianying turned sideways.

Mother Zou had no choice but to shut up and go out.

After a while, Cheng Nianying opened her eyes again.

Why did Princess Zhaoning speak to her so eagerly before? It turned out that it was because of Prince Danshuo... She turned over and lay flat, then turned to her side, and turned over again, repeating this several times. She couldn't sleep well.

You slept too much yesterday.

She sat up with a sigh and tugged at the ribbon hanging beside her out of boredom.

All I heard was a "crash".

——The bed curtains have all collapsed.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Everyone outside was startled.

Cheng Nianying silently retracted her fingertips.

Accidentally...used a little more force.

On the other side, Prince Liang, who had changed his clothes, came before the emperor.

The emperor looked at him with a dark face. "You are so impulsive! I shouldn't have doted on you so much back then. How could you have become like this? You should have been a father long ago! Your brother's son is already of marriageable age, and what about you? You're still arguing with Prince Danshuo all day long."

Prince Liang bowed, then stood up and said, "My father doesn't seem to favor me that much. If that's the case, he should listen to my advice and stop using Fu Yi."

The emperor twirled his Buddhist beads rapidly, his drooping eyelids stretched high, his eyes blazing with fire. "You are my firstborn son, haven't I treated you well enough? You have been raised by me since you were little, and when you grew up, I gave you the power to lead troops. You didn't want to marry, so didn't I allow you to?"

"It's a shame that you have a brain like that. You're not meant to be good at managing state affairs. How can the affairs of the court be as easy as you say? You said you don't need Fu Yi, so you don't need him anymore?"

"You are not allowed to enter the Prince's Mansion again! Do you hear me?"

Prince Liang didn't respond to the rest of the question, but simply said, "Why haven't you married yet? You should ask the Queen."

The emperor paused and cursed, "She's your biological mother! How can you be so careless in your words?"

"Forget it, go see your sister Zhaoning."

The emperor waved his hand and left.

at the same time.

Prince Liang's men came to the Prince's Mansion again.

Wu Xunai ignored him and said, "I wonder what your Highness wants to do next?"

The Prince of Liang's attendant handed over a box and said, "For the Princess of the County."

Wu Xun was stunned for a moment and thought it was strange.
