Chapter 314 Who else wants to fight?
"I really don't think Prince Ning is that bad. How bad can a man who is so polite to women be?"
After hesitating for a moment, Caiwei finally mustered up the courage to speak out what was in her mind.
"Prince Yi has always attributed his downfall to Prince Ning. He claimed that he was framed, but what if... I mean what if, what if he was not framed for treason, but was his own idea? Then he must have some plans for you by staying with you, so please be careful."
Si Lianhuan fell into deep thought.
She remembered that when she had just rescued Jun Tianyi, she asked him about the reason for his downfall. Jun Tianyi repeatedly emphasized that the action at Long Linshan was only aimed at Song Yunchu. All he wanted from the beginning to the end was to get rid of this person and he had never thought of treason.
As for collaborating with the enemy, he also gave an explanation. He originally disdained to associate with the remnants of the Rong Kingdom, but he was just taking advantage of those people's hatred for Song Yunchu to help him get rid of Song Yunchu. Afterwards, he would deal with that group of people himself, which would also help the emperor to eliminate future troubles. He admitted that he was destroying the bridge after crossing it, but after all, it was for the sake of the court, so it was reasonable not to keep those remnants of the Rong Kingdom.
In his opinion, as the prince of Tianqi Kingdom, he always has to consider the land under his feet. He does not think there is anything wrong in breaking faith with the enemy.
When she listened to him, she just thought he was confused. In order to get rid of Song Yunchu, he seemed to have been blinded. If it were her, there was no way she would make a deal with the enemy.
But even though she knew Jun Tianyi was wrong, she didn't want to think badly of him. After all, Song Yunchu had been cursed by the public in the past and was not innocent.
Afterwards, Song Yunchu was crowned king by eliminating the rebels and defending the monarch to the death. He reversed his reputation and made the public's criticisms almost overwhelmingly lean towards Jun Tianyi. It must be said that he was very smart.
In the game between Song Yunchu and Jun Tianyi, Jun Tianyi lost completely.
Even if he is not a traitor, he is still a loser.
Si Lianhuan recalled her observations of Song Yunchu over the past few days. That guy was handsome, with extraordinary bearing. When still, he was like a piece of beautiful jade, and when moving, his every move was unrestrained and uninhibited. Although he was a little frivolous and arrogant, he always managed to do a thorough job of superficial work and did not make people feel that he was rude and domineering.
It is understandable that Caiwei would have such a high opinion of him.
"I know what you are worried about. I know my limits. I will send someone to investigate the Prince Yi's rebellion. If he is wronged, I will protect his life. But if he dares to deceive me and try to use me, I will not let him off easily. Now I only provide him with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and I don't give him money or manpower. You can rest assured."
Caiwei replied yes.
"Then, Prince Ning's Mansion..."
"You should go back first." Si Lianhua sighed softly, "I have been in Tianqi Country for more than 20 days, and they are really not anxious about the treasure map at all. It will not be good if it continues like this."
If the Tianqi Kingdom is still unwilling to give in, she will have no choice but to return empty-handed.
But she really didn't want to give up. Wouldn't it be too stupid to give up the search when she already had clues to the treasure?
This treasure must be found, and the envoys had discussed it a few days ago. Tianqi Kingdom was determined not to accept the 70-30 split, so they would wait a few more days. When they had stayed in the post house for a full month, they would ask to return home and see if Tianqi would try to keep them.
Their bottom line is 46 points, which is the biggest concession Xiling Kingdom can make.
…
On the parade ground to the west of the palace, countless figures were lined up in an orderly manner.
Chu Yuni brought Zhong Nanyue in front of everyone.
"Captain Deng has been demoted for being passive and lazy. Let me introduce you to the incoming Captain Zhong. From today on, she will take over Captain Deng's job."
After Chu Yuni introduced Zhong Nanyan to everyone, she saw that everyone was looking at her with curiosity, so she coughed lightly and said, "What are you all standing there for? Don't you know how to greet your superiors?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison, "Hello, Captain Zhong!"
This slender and beautiful girl in front of me is the champion who defeated Qin Shen in the martial arts test? It really makes people feel a little unbelievable.
But whether they believe it or not, this is indeed the fact. After all, the result of the competition is related to their own future, and no one would be willing to let it go.
But on second thought, if Qin Shen was the one being let off, it didn't seem impossible. After all, he had already won first place in the close combat competition, so no matter where he got in the weapon competition, he would have a bright future. It was just that he would get one less reward.
It is said that this Miss Zhong is the adopted sister of King Ning. With such an identity, Qin Shen has to give up the throne even if he doesn't want to. If they were Qin Shen, they would surely be willing to do King Ning a favor. After all, there will be no shortage of future prospects.
Although everyone had many guesses in their minds, they did not dare to say them out loud.
Zhong Nanyue naturally noticed some questioning looks.
Before coming, Song Yunchu told her that if she wanted to shock everyone, the best way was to call them directly on the first day they met.
As long as someone makes her feel uncomfortable, she will pick them out one by one and beat them until they surrender. There is no need to be polite to them.
So, Zhong Nanyue raised her hand and started calling the roll.
"You, you, and you, what do you mean? Do you think I am not the champion of the martial arts test? Your eyes are rolling around, what are you thinking about? Come out now!"
Zhong Nanyue shouted, and the soldiers who were named were stunned.
Is this girl so bad-tempered? They clearly didn't say anything.
But they had to obey the orders from their superiors, so they all stood up one by one.
"Come on, you three, beat me up, do it."
Zhong Nanyue's words shocked the three of them.
"ah?"
Three grown men beating up a girl?
"What? I told you to do it. Are you deaf? If you don't do it, I will punish you by making you do horse stance for the whole morning."
Zhong Nanyue was not polite to them and directly adopted the same attitude as when she taught her fellow apprentices a lesson in Medicine King Valley.
"Captain Zhong tells you to take action, so do it now. There is no need to hesitate."
Chu Yuni said this and took a few steps back.
The three men didn't dare to hesitate any longer. They moved their feet and started fighting with Zhong Nanyue.
Zhong Nanyue saw their speed and sneered in her heart.
It's really slow.
This speed was not enough for her to stretch her muscles.
But... knocking someone down all at once seems a bit boring? Let's play with these fools first.
So in the following time, everyone saw a very interesting scene.
The three men attacked Zhong Nanyue from different directions, but Zhong Nanyue just dodged and did not fight back at all. At first, the three men were a little hesitant, thinking that they should not offend their superiors, but when they saw that they couldn't even touch the corner of Zhong Nanyue's clothes, the expressions of the three men gradually became serious.
This new superior is really good at fighting.
As time passed, the expressions of the three people became increasingly solemn.
They had realized during the fight that Zhong Nanyue seemed to be playing tricks on them.
This style of play seems familiar...
By the way, when His Royal Highness Prince Ning was teaching General Zhao, he seemed to have used this method? He was able to handle the attacks of multiple opponents with ease. He was obviously much faster than his opponents, but he deliberately kept his speed to give his opponents a glimmer of hope and stimulate them to use more strength. But in fact, no matter how much strength he used, it was in vain.
Just like at this moment, Zhong Nanyan's figure is really like her name, as light as a swallow, and compared to her, they are like pheasants running around in the fields...
I tried to fly, but I couldn't fly high enough. I could only watch the swallows flying by, feeling extremely envious.
"This movement is really fast..."
"This martial arts style is really similar to General Zhao's. I guess they both learned it from His Royal Highness Prince Ning."
"But compared to General Zhao, I'm still a little slower..."
Before the man had finished speaking, everyone saw Zhong Nanyue suddenly speed up. In the blink of an eye, she came behind the two soldiers and kicked each of them several feet away!
The crowd was shocked.
The remaining soldier stood there in amazement.
Seeing Zhong Nanyue flash in front of him, he raised his hand in panic to fight back, but Zhong Nanyue grabbed his arm and twisted it back.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts!”
Zhong Nanyue let go of his hand, and without waiting for him to turn around, she kicked him into the crowd!
Everyone rushed to catch him to prevent him from falling flat on his face.
"Who else wants to fight?" Zhong Nanyan sneered, "Come three by three, I still have plenty of strength."
Everyone was speechless: "..."
Chu Yuni watched from the side and couldn't help laughing out loud.
I knew this would be the result.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhong Nanyan turned her head and glanced at him, "How about you fight me?"
"I laughed at them, not at you!" Chu Yuni quickly explained, "How dare I laugh at you? It's not like I haven't fought with you before."
Outside the fence of the parade ground, Song Yunchu watched this scene, chuckled with great pleasure, and then turned and walked towards the imperial study.
…
"In recent days, several officials have reported that Prime Minister Liu was in high spirits when he attended the Talent Selection Conference. I think he has recovered from his illness. They beg me to recall Prime Minister Liu to the court. What do you think about this, Yunchu?"
"As a high-ranking official, Prime Minister Liu should have participated in government affairs. If he had not been seriously ill, Your Majesty would not have allowed him to rest at home. Since he is now healthy, Your Majesty should allow him to return to discuss government affairs."
Song Yunchu had long anticipated Liu Xiang's return to the court.
The court today is no longer what it was when Liu Xiang just left. What's the point of letting him come back? Some of Liu Xiang's former followers have defected or left. No matter how Liu Xiang develops in the future, he will not be able to shake her position.
In the initial fight for the throne, Prime Minister Liu was not optimistic about Jun Li Luo, and he was always competing with Prime Minister Song. In addition, Jun Li Luo was pedantic and rigid in character, which made him very disliked. But after all, he was an old minister left by the previous emperor, and after weakening his power, he still had to give him some face to avoid people talking about the emperor being mean and ruthless.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that Master Liu, who cheated on the exam, is very restless in the Dali Temple prison. I guess three years in prison is too light a punishment."
"Oh?" Jun Liluo looked curious, "What do you mean?"
"He was the one who made the mistake first. Logically, he should reflect on his mistakes in prison. However, he not only has no regrets, but he also harbors a lot of resentment towards the victim, Miss Liu, and is very dissatisfied with the sentencing of the Dali Temple. He complains that the prison environment is too bad. Someone even heard him cursing Miss Liu many times while he was sleeping at night. For a person like this... Your Majesty, do you think three years of imprisonment can make him change his ways?"
Jun Liluo frowned slightly, "If he doesn't change his ways, he will cause trouble if he is released in the future. Prime Minister Liu is old, and he can't let such a ridiculous grandson ruin his reputation."
Song Yunchu nodded, "I think so too. Since the Dali Temple has already decided the punishment, there is no need to change it. I have a good idea."
As he finished speaking, Song Yunchu took out a bottle from the inside of his sleeve pocket.
"This is a medicine developed by Second Mother and the others. One of its ingredients is the wild poisonous mushroom that Young Master Liu used to deal with Miss Liu. Just add a little bit of it to his food every day. It won't be long before he becomes mentally ill and then gradually becomes stupid. Then we can release him and we won't have to worry about him causing trouble for Prime Minister Liu."
Jun Liluo looked at the bottle and smiled, "This is a good idea."
"If he is really stupid, he can only blame himself for his weak will. He did such a wrong thing, but he couldn't even bear the pain of imprisonment."
Song Yunchu said slowly, "The Dali Prison doesn't need to care about him anymore. Your Majesty can release him early and let the Liu family supervise him well. In this way, the Liu family will also be grateful for your majesty's leniency."
Jun Liluo raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and told Manager Li, "Send the medicine to the person who is in charge of Liu Xin."
…
It was almost noon when Caiwei returned to Prince Ning's Mansion.
She walked all the way back to her residence and opened the brocade box beside her pillow. Inside was the handkerchief she had embroidered these days.
The princess has stayed in Tianqi Kingdom for several days and will have to go back soon, and she will naturally follow the princess.
The days she spent in Prince Ning's mansion were really comfortable and pleasant. The people here treated her well. She didn't have anything good to give as a gift, but apart from being able to play and sing, she was also very good at embroidery, so she simply embroidered some beautiful handkerchiefs and gave them to the girls.
She came to the Hu sisters' yard with a handkerchief in her hand. When she raised her eyes, she saw two figures standing and one sitting by the tree.
Both of them had their backs to her, but from their clothes she could tell that the one standing was Hu Si Niang, and the woman sitting was wearing a red dress, with her silver hair really eye-catching in the sun, which made her a little confused.
Who is that?
With a head full of white hair, could she be the grandmother of the Hu sisters?
She walked forward and greeted, "Fourth Madam."
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and Caiwei was able to see the face of the woman in red clearly, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
This woman with white hair is actually a young and beautiful girl?
"Caiwei, this is my eldest sister. I saw the sun was nice today, so I brought her to my yard to bask in the sun."
Listening to Hu Si Niang's words, Caiwei remembered that she had heard the Hu sisters mention their eldest sister. It was said that she had made a mistake and was imprisoned by King Ning. King Ning allowed them to see their eldest sister twice a month.
In response to Caiwei's reaction, Lady Du just smiled and said, "It seems that my white hair scares people again."
"No, I lost my composure. Don't be offended, young lady. I'm just surprised. You look quite young, how could you..."
"It's still that dog king who deserves to be cut into pieces." Hu Si Niang sneered, "If it weren't for him..."
"Fourth sister!" Du Niang hurriedly interrupted Hu Si Niang, as if she didn't want to hear her continue.
Hu Si Niang stopped talking and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. I won't mention that bastard."
The two sisters' talks were incoherent, and Caiwei became more and more curious.
If they were talking about other men, she would have kept quiet and would not have asked any more questions, but they had to mention Prince Yi.
Because she was a princess, she wanted to know more about Prince Yi.
