The eunuch beside him replied with a pale face:
"Maybe...Maybe Princess and Miss are tired from shopping, and we had some unpleasantness in the evening, so they need to rest for a while before coming here? I have already asked someone to find out what is going on in the palace, and we will get accurate information soon."
"Then wait a little longer." An unhappy look appeared on King Kang's face. He no longer had the heart to read and stood up to pace around the study.
Seeing that a long time had passed and there was still no news of Princess Kang's arrival, he couldn't help but become more irritated.
What happened to that day?!
That woman had always loved him more than herself. In the past, no matter how big the conflict between them was, if he turned cold and didn't return to the palace, that woman would come to Beiye to find him.
He washed his hands and cooked soup for her, and asked about her health, and would not stop until he coaxed her back.
According to him, being caught by his wife going to a brothel was not a big deal.
Which man in this world doesn't have three wives and concubines? He is different from other men. He is willing to spend time coaxing her and pretending to love her alone. Doesn't this show that he treats his wife more attentively than other men?
I really don't understand what that woman is pretending to be. Not only did she cry in broad daylight, but she also fainted. It seems as if he really bullied her!
And the imperial physician had examined her before and said that she was not seriously ill. But she was still being coy and unwilling to come over to ease the situation. Who was she trying to show off to by acting like a deputy eldest lady?!
Oh! After all, such an ignorant woman would resort to such unpresentable tricks!
Do you think that if you drag your feet and come to see him, he will be able to humbly apologize? It's simply wishful thinking!
King Kang snorted coldly and waved his hand impatiently: "Send someone to inform the princess that I am sick. The doctor guessed that it might be the recent outbreak of the epidemic. Ask her to come and see me quickly."
"놆."
The eunuch hurriedly left, and Prince Kang looked a little better.
He didn't believe that a person who had been cowardly for so many years would suddenly change his personality. The woman loved him so much that when she heard that he was sick, she would rush over to take care of him even if she was not feeling well. Naturally, the little emotions that had been bothering her before were gone.
Under normal circumstances, he would not spend so much time on a woman. However, his years of planning had reached a critical moment, and he had to stabilize Wang Sirou and the Wang family, so as to give her more face.
Prince Kang was sure that Wang Sirou would come anxiously soon, so he felt much better and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard an anxious voice from outside:
"Your Majesty, this is bad! Princess Kang has already left the palace with thousands of the Wang family's hidden guards!"
"The servants in the palace were in a complete panic. The secret room in the study was opened and a large number of important books were taken away. The palace guards who were stationed in various places were slaughtered. Judging from the weapons and moves of the opponent, it should be...it should be the hands of the hidden guards of the royal family."
"You...what did you say?!" King Kang was so shocked that his breath was stuck in his throat and he almost couldn't breathe.
Before I could digest this absurd thing, I heard a more frightening voice.
"Your Majesty, urgent news! The secret sentry urgently reported that nearly 10,000 soldiers in the northern camp who had not yet been evacuated have suddenly disappeared!"
"All our spies nearby were silenced. Fortunately, one of them was stabbed in the heart by a sword and was slightly off-center. After waking up, he managed to come here to report the news. It is said that the Queen took them away."
"Wang Sirou again?! Where did she get the token to mobilize troops?! Where did she get the courage to suddenly mobilize so many troops?!"
King Kang was furious. Countless questions flashed through his mind, but no one could answer them.
"Did the person who replied hear their conversation? Why did Princess Kang suddenly transfer so many people?"
The leader of the dark guards did not dare to look up, and answered in detail: "The one who reported back was A-12, who had bled too much and died. He was far away at the time and did not hear the content of the conversation."
King Kang frowned, "Could it be that you have discovered that Wang Yun and several important generals are under house arrest by me? Has the dungeon where Wang Yun and others are imprisoned been attacked by others?!"
"No abnormalities have been found yet."
"Okay, okay, it seems that things haven't reached the worst point yet." King Kang's expression eased a little.
Presumably, someone informed Wang Sirou, which made her act so extreme. Not only did she kill the palace guards, she also rushed into his study and darkroom.
However, although there were many secret letters between him and the Xirong people in the dark room, most of them only involved some political and business dealings that had nothing to do with the pain, and there was no conclusive evidence that he and the Xirong people had dealt with the court together.
If they hadn’t found Wang Yun, who was beaten half to death, they wouldn’t have known his elaborate plan over the years.
According to his calculations, in about half a month, He Huaiyuan's team would pass by Jinyang County, which was a hundred miles away from the border. By then, he would not only transport away the huge amount of wealth under the Gaochang ruins, but also control all the northwestern border troops with the illusion of the Xianyuan Sect.
At that time, he would follow the agreement he had made with the Western Rong Regent King Da 늅 in advance, pretending to be defeated by the Western Rong army and letting them enter the pass to attack the imperial army.
According to the treaty, he needed to cooperate with the Xirong people to completely kill He Huaiyuan. Then the two forces would jointly occupy the vast territory in the north of Southern Qi.
However, he himself planned to let the Western Rong people and the imperial court fight to the point of mutual destruction, so that he could reap the benefits and monopolize the north.
By then, he would have unlimited wealth and become a local tyrant. Wang Sirou and the Wang family would be nothing more than fish on his chopping board...
However, he had not yet had time to transport all the treasures under the Gaochang ruins, and the Northwest Frontier Army had not been completely subdued. He still had to work hard to coax that woman.
Prince Kang thought about this, straightened his clothes, and ordered the secret guards: "Send someone to find out where the princess has taken her people. Quickly prepare the carriage and follow me to pick up the princess."
That woman's heart was entirely on him, and if he didn't find any solid evidence, it wouldn't be difficult for him to just make up a lie and fool her for another ten days or half a month.
King Kang strode towards the door, but once again ran into two secret guards who had come to report the news:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Western Rong people tore up the contract in advance, and an hour ago they led a surprise attack on the royal guards who were moving treasures from the ruins of the King of Gaochang. At that time, a strong wind suddenly arose and drove back the Western Rong army. But all the treasures we found are gone!"
"My Lord, the Cha are here! The Xirong people raided the ruins of Gaochang and looted treasures, while at the same time they led tens of thousands of troops to attack Huangsha Fort. After the princess learned about the military situation, she led people to rescue them."
"It is...it is said that she made your important letter public and spread...spread..." The guard's voice trembled, and he didn't know what to say next.
King Kang was so angry that he kicked the door: "Go on!"
"She...she said that you are a traitor and are not worthy of being a king or a husband. The soldiers in the North City Barracks were all moved and said that they would share the responsibility and obey the princess' orders..."
