No Knife: "..."
That hit me hard!
He thought for a moment and said, "That's true, you're much richer than me."
"How about this, as long as what you ask me to do isn't something that will anger the Crown Prince and get me punished, I can agree to anything you ask."
Lin Xiuyan felt that Wu Dao was still as naive as he had been in his previous life. Did he think that this way he could avoid being punished?
Innocent!
She will definitely find a way to help him save up a thousand lashes as soon as possible.
Wu Ge was much more reliable than Wu Dao. He avoided the sentry posts outside the Prince's Mansion and transported the corpses to the outside of the Prince's Mansion in Pingnan.
Instead of throwing the bodies directly at the door, he hung their heads all outside the palace.
The sight of them lined up like that is truly spectacular.
By the time the sentry looked over, he had already finished all of these tasks.
The soldiers patrolling the Prince's Palace only patrolled inside, not outside, so no one knew that so many corpses were hanging at the main gate of the Prince's Palace.
As dawn broke, the gatekeeper of the Prince's mansion opened the door. Upon seeing the scene, he turned pale with fright and collapsed to the ground.
He stumbled and crawled toward the residence of the Princess of Pingnan.
The reason is simple: last night, the fifteenth, the Prince of Pingnan stayed at the Princess of Pingnan's place.
Princess Pingnan's face has finally recovered from the swelling in the past few days, and she looks somewhat better now, not so disgusting anymore.
The Prince of Pingnan knew about the Princess Consort's arrangements last night, but he pretended not to know anything and didn't ask a single question.
The two are an old married couple, and Princess Pingnan's face has turned like this again. They were just chatting under the covers last night.
Although Princess Pingnan was concerned about the arrangements made the previous night, she was able to remain calm and wait patiently for the outcome.
She woke up immediately when the doorman knocked on their door in a panic.
Yan Nan was on night duty that night and immediately went to inquire what had happened.
Princess Pingnan was too far away to hear clearly what was being said outside, but she could hear that the gatekeeper's voice was trembling.
Yan Nan entered quickly and said from outside the curtain, "Your Highness, last night someone hung more than a dozen corpses at the gate of the Prince's residence."
The Prince of Pingnan and his wife immediately sat down.
The couple exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
The Prince of Pingnan immediately put on his clothes and went to see what was happening. When he arrived, the corpses had already been laid down and were placed in an open space behind the entrance of the Prince's Palace.
The Prince of Pingnan had seen the faces of some of the corpses before. They all had wounds on their bodies, and because they had not been dead for long, the blood from their wounds had not yet dried up.
The corpses lay there, their wounds gaping open, flesh torn and blood staining the doorway.
The Prince of Pingnan had guarded Liefeng Prefecture for many years and had been on the battlefield when he was young, but this was definitely the first time he had ever been provoked by someone sending him a corpse.
Princess Pingnan, who was following behind him, gasped in surprise upon seeing the scene.
The Prince of Pingnan reached out and covered her eyes, saying, "Don't look."
After he finished speaking, he asked the guards on duty, "Do you know who hung these corpses at the gate of the Prince's mansion?"
Lei Song knelt on the ground and said, "Your subordinate is incompetent!"
When the Prince of Pingnan woke up and saw this, and then heard Lei Song's words, he was furious. He kicked Lei Song to the ground and said, "What use are you!"
Lei Song lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to defend himself.
He was indeed negligent in this matter.
The Prince of Pingnan raised his hand and said, "Take all these corpses away and give them a proper burial."
Lei Song responded and immediately ordered the guards to carry the body away.
The chief steward of the Prince's residence had already ordered the gate of the residence to be cleaned up, as it would be too embarrassing for the Prince's residence to see such a thing.
Princess Pingnan's hands trembled slightly: "Your Highness, who is so audacious as to leave a corpse at the gate of the Prince's residence?"
The Prince of Pingnan glanced at her, and she continued, "Even if..."
She paused for a moment, then said with some grievance, "By doing this, he's showing no respect for the Prince!"
The Prince of Pingnan was somewhat troubled, as he knew that the Princess Consort of Pingnan had always wanted to kill Ye Junfei.
He had thought that Princess Pingnan would succeed this time, but unexpectedly, Ye Junfei not only escaped a disaster, but also threw the corpse back into the palace as a show of force.
He felt both resentment towards the Princess Consort of Pingnan for her incompetence and anger towards Ye Junfei for his arrogance.
He said with a dark face, "How dare you say that!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Princess Pingnan clenched her fist, a cold smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.
She said calmly, "You think you can scare me by throwing away a few corpses? How naive!"
"This is just the beginning! I will never allow you to stand in Xian'er's way. Only he is worthy to succeed to the throne of the Prince of Pingnan!"
Just then, a servant came in and said, "Your Highness, someone just delivered a letter, specifying that you must open it personally, saying it is extremely important."
Princess Pingnan was somewhat puzzled. She had her servant open the letter and, after confirming that it was not poisoned, she picked it up with two fingers.
But when she saw the contents of the letter, her expression twisted and became extremely ugly.
She crumpled the letter into a ball, threw it on the ground, and said, "How dare you threaten me!"
The servant was startled by her appearance and took several steps back.
Princess Pingnan gave the servant a cold look, and the servant quickly lowered his head and said, "I didn't see anything!"
Princess Pingnan took a deep breath and said, "Step back."
The servant, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, quickly left, but the Princess of Pingnan's face remained extremely unpleasant.
She looked at the crumpled paper on the ground, and even though she didn't want to, she knew that it couldn't be left there.
She gritted her teeth and picked up the things, her expression icy.
She stood there for a while, then turned to look at the night view.
After Ye Jingxian had a fever last time, all the remaining punishments were canceled, and he is resting in his room.
Because the Prince of Pingnan had instructed that the beating he received that day was just for show, and that he had recovered considerably after resting for the past few days.
When the Princess Consort of Pingnan entered, he was whispering sweet nothings to a beautiful maid in the room.
When she saw this scene, she felt like she was about to explode.
She immediately ordered in a cold voice, "Guards! This maid is wicked; she seduced the Second Young Master. Drag her away and kill her!"
The maid was so frightened her face turned pale: "Your Highness, spare me! Second Young Master, save me!"
Ye Jingxian wanted to plead for mercy, but seeing the dark face of the Prince of Pingnan, he couldn't utter a single word of pleading.
A burly old woman came in and dragged the maid out.
Princess Pingnan waved her hand, and all the maids and old women withdrew.
She said directly, "If you want to marry Princess Anle, then you have to get rid of all these irrelevant people in your room before she enters."
Ye Jingxian was somewhat surprised: "My mother agreed to let me marry Princess Anle?"
Princess Pingnan took a deep breath and said, "Although Princess Anle's purpose in coming to the Pingnan Prince's residence is not pure."
"But this is Liefeng Prefecture, not the capital."
“If he marries you, we can immediately petition the Emperor to depose Ye Junfei and make you the heir apparent.”
