Has he always been considered not very smart by his daughter?
King Kang was a little hurt, and his eyes became resentful and aggrieved.
Ye Peizhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Following his daughter's guess, he said, "Your Highness, could it be that you suspect Prince Ning wants to assassinate us, and that's why you deliberately used that manor as bait?"
King Kang glanced at his daughter, coughed embarrassedly, and nodded.
After all, this was not something he had thought of himself. If it weren't for his daughter's guess, it would probably take him a while longer to think of this possibility.
"What do you think, Madam? I think this guess is more reasonable and well-founded.
Otherwise, Zhuangzi would have existed for more than ten years without anything happening.
How could it happen at this very moment, not earlier or later, for us to rush over?"
"That's right, let's let the secret guards investigate first.
If it was really done by Prince Ning, then we should also give Prince Ning a big gift.
But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
Ye Peizhu smiled bitterly.
Prince Gong finally died, and she thought that for a period of time, they in the Prince Kang Mansion would be able to live in peace.
Unexpectedly, less than a month after Prince Gong was beheaded, Prince Ning took action against them.
So, the next person they are going to deal with is Prince Ning?
Prince Ning is the eldest son and is the most likely candidate to become the crown prince and the next emperor, apart from the prince, who is the most favored son by the emperor.
If Prince Ning started to attack them, it meant that Prince Ning was really anxious.
"I didn't expect this either. It's not easy for me to live a leisurely life."
Prince Kang sighed, "Forget it, let's investigate first. If it's really Prince Ning who did it, we'll strike back!"
[That's right! Our family can't let anyone scheme against us or bully us in this life!]
Song Jiujiu yawned with full determination, blinked her eyes and fell asleep.
Ye Peizhu and King Kang looked at each other and laughed helplessly.
The people King Kang sent to replace Zhuangzi's servants acted quickly and went to Zhuangzi the next day to deal with the matter.
But this news finally reached the ears of King Ning.
"King Kang wants to replace all the servants in the manor?"
Prince Ning was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he figured it out.
"I didn't expect that Prince Kang would be smart this time. Since he wants to change, then let him do it. No matter how he changes, we must place our people in it.
Have someone guard the manor until this is over."
Prince Ning instructed the secret guards.
"yes."
"What happened with the assassin? Why didn't King Kang go to Zhuangzi?"
It was only now that Prince Ning realized that the assassination arranged on the road yesterday had ended before it even began.
“Your Highness, I heard that it was Prince Kang’s daughter who started crying on the way, so Prince Kang and his wife had no choice but to turn around and return.
King Kang has given full authority to his subordinates to handle the affairs of the village, and he himself has no plans to go to the village."
The secret guard's words made Prince Ning smack his lips in amazement, "What a coincidence! People are saying that Prince Kang's daughter is a lucky girl.
Could it be that the child is really so blessed?"
Secret Guard: "Your Highness, although this matter is true or false, I think it is a coincidence.
How can a baby who is only a few months old be as miraculous as people say? "
“That’s true, but this has ultimately caused me to lose an opportunity. It seems I can only look for another one.
I previously ordered you to find a way to plant spies in Prince Kang's mansion. How's that going?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Ever since Prince Kang cleaned out the entire Kang Palace last time, I have tried several times but have not been able to successfully place an informant inside.
The reason I was able to know about this this time was because my subordinates sent someone to eavesdrop."
Prince Ning: “…”
"Forget it. Recently, you have to have people keep an eye on King Kang and see what he does. Then, when the opportunity arises, send assassins to kill him again. He doesn't have to die, just break his arms and legs and make him disabled."
The secret guard agreed and left.
Prince Ning glanced at the orange sky outside, stood up and prepared to go out.
He had promised Jiao'er that he would have dinner with her and her daughter tonight, so now was the perfect time to go.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Princess Ning walking into the yard.
Prince Ning's eyes flashed with impatience, "Why is the princess here?"
Princess Ning, Lin Jingru, came forward with a smile, "Your Highness, perhaps you forgot that Zhu'er is back today. Let's have a meal together as a family to welcome her back."
King Ning suddenly realized that he had really forgotten that his eldest son had returned from studying today.
But he promised Jiao'er...
If the mother and daughter were left to wait all night, little Jiao'er would probably cry.
But here is Zhu'er...
That's all.
"I was too busy today and indeed forgot. Let's go then."
Prince Ning agreed and walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Compared with the eldest son and the youngest daughter, the former is naturally more important.
It’s a pity that he didn’t meet Chan’er earlier, otherwise it would have been great if Chan’er could have given birth to a son for him earlier.
Prince Ning and Princess Ning returned to the main hall, where their eldest son Song Zhu and youngest daughter Song Nuan'er were already sitting around the table.
Song Zhu sat upright, and his manners were impeccable.
The three-year-old Song Nuan'er picked up his chopsticks and started eating with relish without waiting for his parents to come.
When Prince Ning saw this, his face looked a little unhappy.
Although Princess Ning Lin Jingru also felt that her daughter was a little impolite, she thought that this was her own home and some etiquette did not have to be followed.
"Father and Mother."
Song Zhu stood up and saluted.
"Zhu'er has finally returned after studying abroad for a while, and he looks darker and thinner.
Now that you're back, take a good rest."
Prince Ning still felt a little distressed when he looked at his only son.
After all, this is his only bloodline.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, father."
Song Zhu thanked them and watched his parents sit down before he sat down himself.
Prince Ning was extremely satisfied, with admiration showing in his eyes.
However, when his eyes fell on Song Nuan'er, who only had eyes for food and didn't pay any attention to him as her father, his anger rose in waves.
"Song Nuan'er, your parents haven't even sat down yet and you're already eating?
Who taught you to do this?"
Prince Ning asked while suppressing his anger.
Song Nuan'er raised her head from the bowl with a confused look on her face, with rice grains still stuck at the corners of her mouth.
"Daddy? What did you say?"
Prince Ning took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
If it was Jiao'er, she would definitely be well-behaved and cute, and not be as rude and stupid as Song Nuan'er!
"Father, don't be angry! I already talked about Nuan'er when she started eating.
But Nuan'er seemed to be too hungry and didn't care about etiquette for a moment."
Song Zhu stood up and saluted King Ning, defending his sister.
"Zhu'er, you don't have to explain for her.
A child's character is known from the age of three, and now Song Nuan'er is like this..."
