Chapter 157: Prince Jade personally supervises the palace
Ning Cuo withdrew his gaze. From his thin, rosy lips, his gorgeous voice was cold and cruel. "Clean up the sound first. I don't want to hear even the slightest obscene word, as it will fall into her ears..."
Xiao Lezi felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He responded hurriedly and then gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
I knew the Governor would be angry, but I didn't expect him to be so angry.
Yes, Mrs. Xiao is so favored now. Their master holds Mrs. Xiao in his hands, so how could he allow others to bully her?
I don’t know what’s wrong with the person who did this, as he is looking for trouble here!
After cursing in his heart, Xiao Lezi raised his head and continued to smile apologetically, "Master, there is one more thing."
Ning Cuo curled her beautiful cold lips and said, "Oh, is it so lively today?"
Xiao Lezi smiled and said, "Yes, the people below said that the Jade King is on his way to visit."
Ning Cuo glanced over again, "Jade King, are you here to visit me?"
Xiao Lezi laughed and said, "That's right, the post has been delivered."
Ning Cuo smiled and raised his gorgeous long eyelashes, and said with a cold and evil tone, "This is interesting. I haven't even had the time to look for him, but he has come to my door..."
As he spoke, the man turned the jewel ring with his pale fingers, and murderous intent clearly flashed in his strange black eyes.
When Xiao Lezi saw this, he knew what the man was planning to do, so he quietly lowered his head and waited for instructions.
But soon the terrible murderous intent in the man disappeared without a trace.
Ning Cuo tapped the jade table with his slender fingers and said, "That little thing just reconciled with me. Given her personality, she'll definitely want to divorce the Jade King when she gets back. This isn't the right time to cause trouble..."
Xiao Lezi raised his head and said, "According to the report from the people below, Prince Yu came here this time and must have discovered something going on between Madam and Lord Governor..."
Ning Cuo's beautiful lips curled up when she heard that, "Oh~, I finally found it!"
Xiao Lezi looked at the man and asked tentatively, "Sir, do you want to see him or not?"
"Since he's here, I naturally want to meet him."
As he spoke, the man's scarlet lips were filled with malice in his smile!
The streets of the capital are bustling with people coming and going.
A carriage with Jade Prince Palace lanterns hanging on it was passing through the crowd.
In an inn on the street, a man in low-key and elegant clothes stood at the window with his hands behind his back, watching the carriage passing by on the street.
Beside him stood a man who looked like a guard, with a long sword at his waist. At this moment, he said, "Just as the master expected, Prince Yu has indeed gone to the Governor's Mansion."
The man smiled when he heard this, "Let these two quarrel, and we can reap the benefits."
The guard said, "I'm afraid this Jade Prince is no match for that Governor Ning!"
The man wasn't too surprised. "Of course he can't fight Ning Cuo, but since he can muddy the waters, we can take advantage of the opportunity to fish."
The man turned his head, revealing a handsome, tough face. "I asked you to check where Princess Rongchang is being held. Do you have any information?"
The guard nodded, "Yes, he is in the imperial prison."
The man's face darkened upon hearing this. "To actually imprison the daughter of a prince in a place like the Imperial Prison, that lunatic Ning Cuo is truly capable of anything."
The guard looked at the man, "According to the investigation, he was tortured."
The man's face suddenly became even uglier, and he cursed inwardly through gritted teeth again, "Madman!"
He pondered for a moment and said, "How many days will it take for Prince Dongling to arrive?"
"Ten days at the earliest."
"It's too late. While Prince Yu is going to the Governor's Mansion, you should organize some people to rescue them quickly."
The guards glared at him, "Your Highness, are you planning to rob the prison?"
The man said in a deep voice, "How about watching Princess Rongchang being tortured to death in prison by that lawless lunatic?
What I want is Prince Dongling to surrender to me. Now that Princess Rongchang is dead, who will help me persuade her?
Furthermore, by saving Princess Rongchang, I can be considered to have done a favor to Prince Dongling, and things will only go more smoothly in the future."
"But the Imperial Prison is heavily guarded. If our people want to get in, they will definitely reveal their whereabouts. Then, Ning Cuo's people will definitely find out that it was you, Your Highness, who did it, right?"
"With the rumors about Princess Yu spreading, do you think that mad dog Ning Cuo will let me go? He dared to turn against the King of Dongling for a married woman. He will find out soon enough. He can't hide it. Besides, it's impossible to take down Dongling's 300,000 troops without taking some risks."
The guard lowered his head upon hearing this and said, "Your Highness is right. I will do it now."
The guard retreated after saying this, while the man stood at the window with his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice, "Now with Prince Yu, Prince Dongling, and this prince taking action, I don't believe that a treacherous eunuch like you can really cover the sky with one hand!"
The Governor's residence.
The Jade King got off the carriage and looked at the towering palace shining with golden light under the bright sunshine. His face was not very good.
Even the princes and nobles in the capital city only lived in mansions and estates.
But he, Ning Cuo, a eunuch, lived in a palace comparable to that of an emperor.
It's totally lawless and extremely arrogant!
If possible, the Jade King would not want to set foot in this place at all.
The palace is ostentatious, with two rows of guards at the door, and they have a cold and austere temperament.
Seeing the Jade King coming, his face was expressionless, just like a stone statue.
Prince Yu frowned upon seeing this, then took the initiative to speak, "I would like to see Governor Ning."
The stone-like guard heard this and said coldly, "Wait."
After he finished speaking, he did not move. The guards around the Jade King were displeased.
Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by the Jade King, "No need to cause trouble!"
He and Ning Cuo were political enemies, so it was not surprising that he was given a show of intimidation when he visited Ning Cuo.
Besides, Prince Jade doesn’t care about Ning Cuo’s attitude now. He just wants to know whether Xiao Tu is here!
The Jade King waited for a full half hour before the tightly closed palace gate opened.
A young eunuch walked out and said indifferently, "Prince Jade, please come in!"
The Jade King had a cold expression and walked straight into the gate without saying a word.
The magnificent palace is burning with the fragrance of cool incense.
The Jade King strode in and looked coldly at the strangely beautiful man who was sitting on a high seat, with his long legs dangling over a jade table and leaning in a gorgeous and lazy posture on a large gilded chair.
Although he was reluctant, he still bowed with a cold face and said, "Greetings to the Duke of Du!"
Ning Cuodan raised his narrow eyes and said in a gorgeous and cold voice, "Get up..."
Prince Yu stood up straight, his eyes gleaming coldly as he said, "I, Governor Ning, have the audacity to come here today because I have something I would like to verify with you."
Ning Cuo played with the gem ring on his finger and curled his thin scarlet lips, "Speak."
The Jade Prince stared intently at the man, his words clearly and eloquently speaking, "Excuse me, Governor Ning, is my Jade Prince Consort in the Governor's Mansion right now?"
