Chapter 96: So Quickly Coaxed
What medicine might the prince have been poisoned by? If it was an ordinary aphrodisiac, he would definitely notice it after waking up and would send someone to investigate thoroughly.
But the prince seemed to feel nothing, and Zhai Qing felt both excited and uneasy. If it was really as he thought, then Chu Heng could be saved.
——
For several days, Zhu Wenqin was quiet and well-behaved, and she was no longer restless. Jing Siye sat at the desk, looking at the little guy who was concentrating on cleaning, and sighed silently with heartache.
At this time, Zhu Wenqin finished wiping the low area and reached out to get the small ladder beside her, intending to climb up and wipe the high area. Jing Siye saw beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, his fair face turned red, and he was breathing heavily, looking as if he was struggling.
He immediately stood up and said with concern: "Qin'er, take a break first. If you are tired, just leave it alone and I will do it."
Zhu Wenqin didn't stop moving her hands as she quickly responded, "Qin'er is all right. Your Highness, go ahead." As she spoke, she stepped onto the first ladder rail.
Suddenly, Zhu Wenqin felt his body lighten, and when he came to his senses, he found himself sitting in Jing Siye's arms.
This posture looks like an adult holding a child while watching a circus.
In order to maintain balance, Zhu Wenqin had to hold one of his shoulders with her other hand.
"This... Your Majesty,"
"Qin'er, you don't have to say thank you. I like it." Jing Siye said, and motioned Zhu Wenqin to continue.
Zhu Wenqin put down the rag, put her arms around Jing Siye's neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist, looking at Jing Siye with a confused look.
The man in front of me is one of the best in the entire Decheng Dynasty in terms of appearance, and no one can match him in terms of achievements. Will such a man who dotes on me so much now also dote on others in the future?
Zhu Wenqin's eyes dimmed unconsciously, and the excitement that Jing Siye had just felt slowly dissipated along with his expression.
The two were looking at each other, trying to figure out each other's thoughts, when the door suddenly opened.
"King Zhaonan..." Nangong Ling's figure appeared at the door, followed by Qi Feng and Xue Nian. The intimate posture of Jing Siye and Zhu Wenqin was seen by everyone.
"This..." Nangong Ling was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands and said:
"I didn't see anything. Please continue, continue."
Nangong Ling was about to reach out to help them close the door, but she heard Jing Siye's cold voice:
"Now that you're here, just say whatever you want to say."
Nangong Ling chuckled twice and said jokingly, "I never knew that the usually serious King Zhaonan was so romantic."
After these words were spoken, Zhu Wenqin's face turned red with shame. She tried to struggle down, but Jing Siye held her even tighter.
Zhu Wenqin didn't dare to struggle anymore and could only put her head on his shoulder and not look at the people outside the door.
At this time, there was another person who looked uncomfortable. He was Qi Feng, who was stared at by Xue Nian from time to time. Qi Feng didn't know why Xue Nian was looking at him at this time...
Nangong Ling walked in and said to Jing Siye, "Prince Zhaonan, I didn't come here to talk to you about anything important."
"Then why did you break into my study?"
"Please listen to what I have to say. It's like this, um..." Nangong Ling looked at Zhu Wenqin, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Although Zhu Wenqin had her back to him, she could hear the embarrassment in his words. Knowing that they had another "big thing" to discuss, she said to Jing Siye:
"Your Majesty, Qin'er should go back to the bedroom first."
Jing Siye thought that the little guy had been very sensitive recently. If he really put him down at this time, he would be even more vulnerable. So he said to Nangong Ling:
"Just say what you want to say."
Nangong Ling said helplessly: "Well, there are several new beauties in Baihua Tower. This leader invites you to admire their beauty together."
Jing Siye: “…”
He glared at Nangong Ling: Why are you talking about this?
Nangong Ling raised his eyebrows: It was you who asked me to speak frankly.
Zhu Wenqin: “…”
[So, will the prince really go?] 】
Jing Siye: “…”
The prince has to go. Those women are acting suspiciously and have been under his surveillance for a long time. It is obvious that Nangong Ling is trying to embarrass the prince on purpose.
The look he gave Nangong Ling seemed to almost torture him to death, but Nangong Ling had a smug look on his face.
Xue Nian behind him seemed to be expecting something. Qi Feng took advantage of this and stepped on his toes while no one was paying attention. He gritted his teeth and crushed him twice. Xue Nian screamed in pain internally, but because he was in front of the prince, he dared not show any sign of pain on his face and could only endure it.
Jing Siye had no choice but to say, "Qin'er, why don't you go with me? The dishes in Baihua Tower are also delicious."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wenqin struggled with all her might and got off Jing Siye. She walked out while saying:
"No, I have things to do, so I won't disturb you guys."
The tone was clearly angry, Jing Siye quickly chased after him, saying:
"Qin'er, please listen to my explanation."
Nangong Ling saw this and laughed triumphantly behind him.
"Ha, Jing Siye has come to this day. I want you to keep showing off in front of this leader."
He raised his mouth, looked at Qi Feng and Xue Nian who were still there, then patted Xue Nian on the shoulder and said:
"Guard Xue, Guard Qi usually looks reserved. I'm afraid he doesn't like that kind of occasion. How about you accompany me?"
Xue Nian, whose toes were still cramping, took a deep breath.
"Master Nangong, ...I dare not do that either."
"Don't dare? ...What do you mean?"
Xue Nian realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself: "What I meant is,... I am also introverted."
Nangong Ling looked at him with a puzzled expression. Qi Feng bit his lip, secretly turned his face away, and curved the corners of his mouth where they couldn't see.
Nangong Ling: “…”
"Okay, okay, you can do this. I have spent a lot of effort to get the news, and you treat me like this. If you don't want to go, then forget it. I will go alone..."
Nangong Ling was about to leave with a curse, but she saw Jing Siye pulling Zhu Wenqin out. Zhu Wenqin looked shy and walked behind Jing Siye with her head down.
Nangong Ling: What did you just do? You got it done so quickly?
"I will go with you. Qi Feng and Xue Nian will follow as well."
"Yes, I obey your command." Qi Feng and Xue Nian responded together.
Nangong Ling raised her hand and pointed at them, unable to utter a word for a long time. I had no choice but to throw away my sleeves and walk in front.
