Chapter 216 A Gift for the Princess
When Li Yuan came in, he saw Xiao Ning holding a hairpin.
Her eyes were filled with tenderness and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
He glanced around calmly. Everyone around him was laughing with her, but Shen Zhiyi was the only one staring at Xiao Ning with a deep look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"General."
Li Yuan broke the charming atmosphere here.
"The interrogation of the imprisoned rebels has concluded, and the guilty have been executed. As for the remaining, I have already sent people to conduct ideological education for them."
Xiao Ning was pulled out of his fantasy by Li Yuan's words.
She nodded and said, "I always trust you to do things."
After that, he paused and said, "You've come at the right time. Please help me take a look at this hairpin. What do you think of it?"
Li Yuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take the hairpin to examine it, but Xiao Ning pulled his hand back to avoid it.
"Just look at it like this."
What if she breaks it?
Besides, this is a gift for the princess, so it is inappropriate for other men to touch it.
Li Yuan was not embarrassed. He withdrew his hand, bent down slightly and took a closer look at the golden hairpin.
"It's very beautiful. It's a style I've never seen before."
After Li Yuan said this, Xiao Ning became even happier.
She then asked, "Do you think it would look good on a girl?"
Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the scene of Xiao Ning wearing women's clothes and tying her hair with this golden hairpin.
He lowered his eyes and said, "It looks good..."
Xiao Ning's smile deepened. She took out a clean handkerchief, wrapped the hairpin, wiped it carefully, and then carefully placed it in the brocade box.
She placed the box on the desk, and her fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the box with an indescribable attachment and tenderness.
Li Yuan asked, "Is this golden hairpin a gift?"
Xiao Ning nodded and said, "This is the gift I prepared to bring to the princess."
Li Yuan: “…”
A gift for the princess...
He struggled to digest this.
He thought the general bought this hairpin for himself, but it turned out to be a gift for Her Royal Highness the Princess...
But the princess is a woman, and the general is also a woman...
they……
Li Yuan's inherent thoughts were overturned again.
Seeing Li Yuan’s shocked expression, Shen Zhiyi narrowed his eyes.
Lin Sanniang also frowned and asked, "General Li, why did you look like that when you heard that the Marquis was going to give the princess a gift?"
Xiao Ning also looked over when he heard that.
Li Yuan quickly lowered his eyes to calm down and said, "I just didn't expect the general and Her Royal Highness to have such a harmonious relationship. After all, the rumors..."
Having said this, Li Yuan stopped.
But Xiao Ning and Shen Zhiyi obviously knew what the unfinished words were.
Xiao Ning coughed lightly, "The princess and I have always gotten along very well."
"General, you are right. I believed the rumors."
Li Yuan replied with a smile.
At this time, Shen Zhiyi, who was standing aside, stepped forward, took out the memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Ning.
"Take a look. If there's no problem, let's send them to Shengjing together."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning took the thing and started looking through it.
It complements what she wrote yesterday and there are no mistakes or omissions.
Xiao Ning said to Li Yuan: "Arrange for someone to deliver the things to Shengjing City."
Li Yuan took the order and left.
Xiao Ning bent over his desk and wrote a small note, then put it into the brocade box.
…
The war without gunpowder in Shengjing City is becoming more and more intense.
The third prince died suddenly in his own residence, and the evidence pointed directly to the eldest prince.
Although the eldest prince is stupid, it is obvious that he has never done this.
So someone framed me.
Who is it?
He turned his gaze to the second and sixth princes who were the only ones left in Dayong.
The second prince stayed in the palace serving medicine, crying like a woman all day long. It seemed that he would never achieve anything great.
So he set his sights on the Sixth Prince.
After the incident with the fifth prince ended, the sixth prince was abandoned by the emperor.
I think it has something to do with him.
Hearing that the Sixth Prince liked to take Hanshi Powder, he decided to go all out and use Hanshi Powder to take his life.
Only the second one is left...
Although he never intended to seize the throne, now that things have come to this, he might as well end it all at once!
In order to avoid suspicion, he entered the palace alone.
But just as he entered the emperor's bedroom, he was held at swords.
The second prince walked out of his bedroom, his eyes red and tears still stained on his face.
He choked up and said, "Brother, how can you be so cruel..."
"How could you take advantage of our father being seriously injured and unconscious to do such a beastly thing? The third and sixth brothers are our biological brothers!"
"Not only did you kill the third and sixth brothers, but you came to the palace today to kill me as well?"
"After killing me, will you kill the king and the father next?"
The eldest prince stared at him coldly, then suddenly chuckled, "Second brother, it seems that I have underestimated you in the past."
The Second Prince's eyes were still red, and he said bitterly, "Brother, stop it!"
The eldest prince: “…”
He raised his hand to touch the sword on his neck and couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, what you said is what I said."
The Second Prince said, "Brother, I am different from you. I will not hurt you, but I must be careful that you do not hurt me."
"So while the emperor is still unconscious, I'll trouble you to endure a little."
After the second prince finished speaking, he signaled the royal guards to take the eldest prince away.
The eldest prince stiffened his neck and glared at the second prince fiercely.
The second prince seemed frightened and staggered back a few steps.
With his right hand on his chest, he said with red eyes: "Brother, don't look at me like that, I'm scared..."
The eldest prince wanted to resist, but this was the palace and there were many royal guards. As soon as he broke free from these people, more people came up and suppressed him.
The knife pierced the skin of his neck.
Forcing him to stop struggling.
Now he is the only useless second-in-command left, and he is unwilling to accept such a defeat!
He has many capable people under his command, and they will definitely find a way to rescue him.
Just go out...
He stared at the second brother coldly and gritted his teeth.
He will tear the bastard Lao Er into pieces!
The eldest prince was taken to the Ye Ting Palace and temporarily detained. The second prince said to the outside world: "First, big brother, please let me stay in Ye Ting for a few days. When father wakes up, we will make plans..."
The imperial concubine's hairpin did not pierce the emperor's vitals.
The reason why he had not woken up yet was that the imperial physician diagnosed him as having depression in his heart, external trauma and internal worries, which was why he had not woken up yet.
Just two days after the eldest prince entered the palace, he was found dead in the palace by palace servants.
When the second prince heard this, he almost fainted.
“Big Brother!”
"You are confused!"
He howled to the sky, pressed his right hand on his chest, and could hardly stand.
Only after the imperial physician gave him a bowl of tranquilizer did he feel a little better.
He was supported by someone and stumbled to the palace. Looking at the eldest prince's body, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly, "Brother, why are you so depressed..."
"The emperor hasn't woken up yet, so he might not necessarily sentence you to death! How did you end up like this..."
"You are all dead, and my father is also unconscious. What should I do alone..."
"Brother..."
The second prince cried until he fainted, and was helped by the eunuchs into a sedan chair and carried out.
