Chapter 319 Xuanying successfully drugged the Second Prince
The second prince was paying close attention to what was happening in the third prince's mansion.
Their mansion is only two streets away, so any news will be received quickly.
However, even after Concubine Zhao returned to the palace, everything in the Third Prince's mansion was still calm.
The Second Prince's wife looked in the direction of the Third Prince's residence and muttered to herself, "Could it be that it didn't work?"
The third prince has never been a self-disciplined person since he was young. As long as he is in the mood, he can have an affair with anyone. He and Zhao Liangfeng are birds of a feather and are in cahoots with each other. The second prince looks down on him the most.
This kind of person still has the nerve to fight for the throne. If he really gets it, he will definitely be a cruel and incompetent monarch who only knows how to indulge in women. The foundation of the Dajing Dynasty will definitely be destroyed in his hands.
The Second Prince was calmer than his wife: "Zhao Ningxi's clothes were stained with Doctor Gao's powder. The Third Prince drank a lot and was easily aroused."
"He is a scoundrel who doesn't mind eating meat that is offered to him."
That's the truth.
But the Second Prince's wife was still uneasy because she hadn't heard any confirmed news.
I always feel that nothing has been going smoothly for them recently.
As the night progressed, neither the Second Prince nor his wife spoke, as they did not want to discourage the other.
They waited stubbornly, hoping for good news.
Finally, someone came to report the news.
"The Third Prince's Mansion was very quiet, nothing happened, the Zhao family had gone home, and the Sixth Prince had also left."
The second prince couldn't help but lean forward and ask, "Have you ever noticed what the Zhao family members looked like when they left?"
"Nothing unusual, I'm happy."
The second prince was unwilling to give up and asked again: "What about the sixth prince? What's his expression?"
The person who answered lowered his head even more: "Yes, I am very happy."
Happy, happy!
The second prince stood up suddenly and kicked over the chair beside him. "Did you pick up gold? What's there to be happy about?"
The Second Prince's wife shook her head in disappointment. She failed again!
There was no problem with this plan at all, so how could it fail?
"A bunch of useless things, get out of here, are you standing here getting in the way?"
She saw the servant kneeling with his head against the floor, motionless like a piece of wood. She had no place to vent her anger, so she picked up the teapot on the table and threw it at him.
The man trembled, did not dare to raise his head, and retreated.
When the second prince heard this, he found it extremely harsh, and the word "useless" also pierced his heart.
He planned all the steps personally, but in the end, nothing came of it. Was it others or him who was "useless"?
Thinking of this, he was too lazy to even look at the Second Prince's wife again, and just walked out.
"I want to be quiet."
The Second Prince's wife had already stood up and wanted to go over to comfort him, but all she got was the Second Prince's cold and indifferent back without even turning his head.
My heart suddenly felt a little painful.
"Go and see where His Highness has gone."
Soon, someone came back and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, he went to Concubine Liao's place."
The Second Prince's wife's eyes, like a knife, fell on the person who answered the question. After a long while, she sneered and said, "Jingjing, that's it!"
The tone was weird and scary.
The Second Prince's wife was already anxious because she had not been able to get pregnant during this period.
The Liang family was in trouble again and again, and nothing was going well for the Second Prince, so she was worried too.
Now that the Second Prince had left her and gone to find Concubine Liao, the Second Prince's wife felt a deep resentment in her heart.
-
Xuanying was lying on the roof of Concubine Liao's house, like an old monk in meditation, listening to Concubine Liao's coquettish cries.
The second prince was in a depressed mood and didn't want to bother his principal wife, Lu, so he came to Concubine Liao, showing his masculine strength and completely forgetting the word "useless" about the second prince's wife.
Before Xuanying returned to the capital, Lu Jiangnian told him that the sooner the medicine was given to the Second Prince, the happier his wife would be. In short, if he succeeded in giving the medicine before they returned to the capital, Lu Jiangnian would give him three thousand taels of silver as a reward.
Who doesn't like money?
Three thousand taels is definitely a huge sum of money. With this money, he can buy a nice house in the capital.
Therefore, Xuanying stayed up all night and kept a close eye on the Second Prince, and finally gave him this opportunity.
When the second prince had sex with a woman, there were the fewest people guarding him.
Xuanying had been lurking on the roof of Concubine Liao's house in advance, listening to the lewd music patiently, and finally waited until the Second Prince completely ended this affair.
A rough calculation shows that it has been more than half an hour. The Second Prince is quite capable.
Unfortunately, tonight was the last time he would experience this feeling.
The Second Prince and Concubine Liao went to take a bath separately. There was tea in the room that had just been brought up by the servants. Xuanying slipped in, poured the medicine into the pot of tea, shook it gently a few times, and hid back without a trace.
He saw the second prince return to his room and drink several cups of tea in big gulps.
In the dead of night, he avoided the secret sentries and left the Second Prince's Mansion quietly.
Tomorrow, the prince will return to Beijing.
This is cause for celebration.
-
East Palace.
The prince also received Lu Jiangnian's secret letter.
"Jiang Nian will be able to return to Beijing tomorrow."
Sun Huanzhi smiled and said, "Good news."
The prince also smiled and said, "It is indeed a good thing. Minister Zhao has contacted someone to impeach the Liang family in the court tomorrow. Jiang Nian will be back just in time to catch up, so he won't laugh at me for being useless."
"The Second Prince originally wanted to set a trap for us and make you and the Third Prince become enemies. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn and he ended up giving you a helping hand. I'm afraid he must be regretting it now."
The prince replied calmly: "Those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters."
"The third brother is not a fool. The second brother's behavior has no bottom line at all. If he doesn't join forces with me temporarily and relies on himself alone, he will have little chance of winning."
Sun Huanzhi showed a meaningful expression: "In short, the capital has begun to bustle."
After the excitement, many things can be settled.
-
Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru stayed in a small town in Gyeonggi Province tonight.
This place is less than forty miles away from the capital, and they will be able to enter the city tomorrow morning.
Yuan Wanru was in a good mood thinking that they no longer had to travel so hard and hurriedly. After dinner, she took Lu Jiangnian out for a stroll.
Business in the town is not prosperous. When night falls, most of the shops on the road close their doors and windows.
It was just a short street and it took only half an hour to walk back and forth.
Yuan Wanru looked up at the sky. Although it was completely dark, there was still a hint of light in the sky, with a faint blue hue.
The night wind is cool, and occasionally there is the shadow of a bird in the sky, which flies away.
“It’s so comfortable.”
Yuan Wanru closed her eyes, feeling the gentle night breeze, and all the restlessness from the daytime disappeared.
Lu Jiangnian took the opportunity to steal a kiss, "It smells so good."
She opened her eyes and pretended to hit him, but Lu Jiangnian dodged and said, "If you catch me, I'll let you hit me."
Yuan Wanru ran over and said, "Then you are not allowed to run."
Lu Jiangnian walked slowly: "I won't run, you chase me."
But in fact, he used his internal strength with his feet, secretly increasing the force of his movement, making it impossible for Yuan Wanru to catch him.
