Chapter 158 Tingyuxuan is really lively today
Imperial Garden, Tingyu Pavilion.
The palace maid helped Cen Tingbai lie down on a soft couch in a side room, then left.
After a while, Princess Anyang came over openly, accompanied by a maid holding a tray.
The eunuch guarding the door came up quickly and asked, "Your Highness, Princess, why are you here?"
"I heard that Marquis Jingnan was drunk. I just had the sobering soup from the imperial kitchen. It was very good. I'll send a portion to Marquis Jingnan as well." Princess Anyang pretended to be calm.
The eunuch said respectfully, "Your Highness, please."
Princess Anyang walked straight in. She passed through the winding corridor, asked the maid holding the hangover soup to stand outside the door, and pushed the door open and went in.
At this time, Cen Tingbai was lying on the couch with flushed cheeks.
There was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he looked very uncomfortable. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Cen Tingbai immediately looked in the direction of the door with a look of surprise:
"The eldest princess..."
Princess Anyang's eyes swept over him from head to toe, then she sat down beside his couch and reached out her nail-stained fingers towards Cen Tingbai's face:
"Cen Tingbai, you look a lot like an old friend of mine."
Cen Tingbai dodged and said, "Princess, please respect yourself!"
"You are not feeling well now, but you will want me later." Princess Anyang stared at his face, her eyes full of obsession and madness.
Cen Tingbai was stunned. "Did you put drugs in this wine? Get out!"
He endured the effects of the medicine, looking uncomfortable, but he stepped back and put some distance between himself and Princess Anyang.
"So what if you know? If this matter gets out, it will only be seen as you committing treason and disrespecting me. You should be sentenced to death." Princess Anyang was not afraid at all and looked at him confidently:
"If you are a man who knows what's best for you, just be my lover. I can give you wealth and glory..."
As she spoke, she pounced towards Cen Tingbai again.
Cen Tingbai turned over with difficulty to dodge...
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of soup porcelain falling to the ground outside the door, and the maid shouted in panic:
"My Lord..."
The next moment, the door of the wing room was kicked open.
Marquis Yongning stood coldly at the gate, staring at Princess Anyang as if he was looking at a dead person.
"You..." Princess Anyang was also stunned.
She never expected that when she was about to have an affair, she would be caught by her husband.
Marquis Yongning strode in, grabbed Princess Anyang's hand and dragged her out...
He had heard clearly outside the door just now that Princess Anyang drugged Cen Tingbai and used threats and inducements...
It's all Princess Anyang's fault.
But he also didn't want to let Cen Tingbai go.
After dragging Princess Anyang out of the door, Marquis Yongning turned his head and said to the maid beside him:
"Go to the banquet hall and bring a princess here."
He wanted to sentence Cen Tingbai to death for the crime of committing obscenity in the harem!
How could this person be allowed to live after suffering such a great humiliation?
Princess Anyang's eyes widened instantly. What? If he brought a princess here, wouldn't Cen Tingbai be dead?
But she couldn't protect herself at this moment, so she didn't dare to offend the Marquis of Yongning...
Just a substitute.
If she's gone, she can keep looking.
Princess Anyang said nothing and was dragged out by Marquis Yongning.
…
After leaving Tingyuxuan, we arrived at a secluded corner of the garden.
Marquis Yongning raised his hand and slapped Princess Anyang: "Bitch!"
Princess Anyang was slapped to the ground, covering her face with tears in her eyes, "My Lord, I was just confused for a moment... For the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, please don't make it public!"
Marquis Yongning really can't afford to lose face.
How could he let the whole world know that Princess Anyang was cheating on him?
He would naturally not spread this matter...
Just let her die quietly.
"Do you know how to save your dignity now? What about the time when you shamelessly drugged a man? From tomorrow on, you are not allowed to go out. Pack your luggage and wait for me to finish my report. Then follow me back to the northwest immediately!" said Marquis Yongning coldly.
Princess Anyang didn't want to go to the frontier to suffer.
But at this time, it was a blessing from heaven that Marquis Yongning did not drag her to the emperor to expose her crimes.
Naturally, she didn't dare to refute, and said timidly, "Okay..."
Yongning Hou glanced at her coldly and said, "Wait until your face is less swollen before going back. Don't let outsiders get suspicious."
"Yes." Princess Anyang lowered her head and looked submissive, just wanting to avoid this disaster.
…
The eunuch on duty outside Tingyuxuan felt that it was particularly lively here today.
At first, Princess Anyang came to deliver some hangover soup, but not long after she went in, Marquis Yongning came looking for the princess...
Then the couple walked out hand in hand, both of them smiling very deliberately.
Immediately afterwards, people from the Northern Palace came to deliver some sobering soup.
This Marquis of Jingnan is indeed a rising star in the dynasty, with so many people caring about him.
"The princess came to deliver it just now, but it seems that she accidentally knocked over the soup bowl..." The eunuch said respectfully: "Please come in, Doctor Xiao."
Xiao Nanxing walked in quickly with the hangover soup.
As soon as he saw Cen Tingbai, who was suffering from the effects of the drug, he immediately opened the lid, held the antidote in front of him, and said:
"My Lord, you really risk your life. You don't have to drink this wine... This is a medicine to calm your mind. Please take it quickly."
Cen Tingbai took a sip of the medicine, slightly calmed down his boiling blood, and said, "If I don't drink it, if something goes wrong, it will arouse her suspicion, which is not good."
After all, there are many types of aphrodisiacs.
What Chinese medicine will look like in the future and when it will take effect are different...
If he didn't drink it and his disguise was exposed, he would miss such a good opportunity.
Furthermore, except for some rare poisons, the antidotes for spring poisons are all medicines that can calm the mind and spirit, and detoxification is not difficult.
Even if it was a strange poison, with Xiao Nanxing here, he could suppress it with acupuncture and then detoxify it after leaving the palace.
Xiao Nanxing felt the pulse and said, "The medicine that the Marquis was given is just an ordinary aphrodisiac. Just drink this Qingxin Decoction."
Cen Tingbai knew that someone would be brought here soon.
In order to avoid any complications, he pretended to be sober after drinking the medicine and left Tingyuxuan with Xiao Nanxing.
…
The plum blossom viewing banquet was peaceful.
Not long after, Marquis Yongning came back alone.
Feicui, who had been waiting to see the show, was disappointed when she saw this. She approached Jiang Rong and whispered:
"Princess, has he not found the person? Why hasn't he made a fuss?"
She was still waiting to see Marquis Yongning catch the adulterer and report him.
By then, the emperor will have to severely punish Princess Anyang, and this bad woman will never be able to go against her master again!
"Who would let everyone know that they were cheated on? It's normal that he didn't complain and kept it a secret from Princess Anyang. However, he must have wanted to take her life in private." Jiang Rong said calmly.
Feicui suddenly realized, "Marquis Yongning pretends to be calm on the surface, intending to secretly kill Princess Anyang? This is not bad!"
Jiang Rong's eyes flickered. Yongning Hou must have thought so.
However, will Princess Anyang just sit there and wait for death?
