Chapter 163: Ning Dugong's Gift
The man immediately turned pale with fear. He summoned up all his courage and said fearfully, "I, I only have one request!"
Ning Cuo moved the teacup gracefully, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me."
The man looked at the gorgeous yet terrifying man in front of him, his body trembling uncontrollably as he said, "I... I... am the Third Prince's man."
Ning Cuo glanced down condescendingly, "Is that all?"
Just this one casual glance made the man feel like he was in purgatory, and the secret guards were already ready to step forward.
The man instinctively knew he was going to die, so he shouted in fear, "The Third Prince is taking this action because Princess Rongchang promised him that if he is willing to help her deal with Princess Yu, she will persuade Prince Dongling to join him.
I also know a lot of the Third Prince's secrets, including his power structure, including who is his ally in the court, and the many secret things he has done..."
Ning Cuo blew on the hot tea slowly, then took a sip elegantly.
Xiao Lezi said at this moment, "Take him away to get bandaged, and then make him tell everything he knows."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man was dragged down to the ground.
Xiao Lezi bent down and said to the man, "It's pretty much as I guessed. As expected, a prince has gotten involved. It seems that the youngest son of Concubine Gao, who has been favored for many years, is also interested in competing for that position.
It's just that the Second Prince has always been a popular candidate for the Crown Prince, and he and the Third Prince are brothers. Now, judging by the situation, the two brothers are not on the same page."
Ning Cuo Xiemei's face was cold and indifferent. "Since you want to fight, then help him."
Xiao Lezi smiled and said, "I understand!"
Ning Cuo narrowed his charming eyes, "Furthermore, help me give him a big gift!"
Inside the Jokhang Palace.
The third prince looked extremely unhappy at this moment, and he was pacing back and forth in the hall.
It was already this late, but none of the people he sent out had returned. He already had a premonition that his operation might have failed.
More than two hundred skilled players were all killed at once!
Even though he was a prince, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
After all, these people were secretly trained by him using his own money, and even his elder brother and mother didn't know about it.
If the plan had succeeded, then death would have been death. But now that the plan has failed and everyone has lost their lives, how can he not be angry!
At this moment, a guard outside the hall bowed and reported, "Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince hurried out and asked, "How is it? Is it done?"
The third prince was still holding on to a glimmer of hope.
But the visitor shook his head and said, "No one has come back. It seems that everything has gone wrong."
The Third Prince's face darkened. "I originally thought we could catch Ning Cuo off guard, but I didn't expect that even after sending so many people, it still didn't work. Is the defense of the Imperial Prison really that tight?"
The guard also found it strange and said, "I will investigate further."
The Third Prince frowned and nodded, then looked at his subordinate who still had something to say and asked, "What else?"
The guard said, "Someone from downstairs has come to give His Highness a gift."
The Third Prince waved his hand. He was in a bad mood and naturally had no interest. "Just handle it yourself."
The guard looked at him and said, "I saw that the box was very large and it was very difficult to lift it. The servants checked it and said it was a valuable gift!"
The Third Prince's expression softened upon hearing this. He happened to be in need of money. "If that's the case, then bring it in!"
Upon hearing this, the guard shouted towards the door, and then four big men came in carrying a huge mahogany box.
When the third prince took a look at the box, he immediately smiled.
Just by looking at the amount, you can tell how important this gift is.
Such a big box, whether it is gold, silver or jewelry, must be worth more than ten thousand taels. No wonder it is considered a valuable gift.
The third prince personally stepped forward to remove the lock and opened it. Then he was so frightened that he screamed and retreated wildly with a pale face.
I saw that in the huge mahogany box, there was no valuable gift at all, but a Jingguan.
Jingguan, commonly known as corpse tower.
That is a mahogany box, a tower built with a box full of human heads!
Everyone in the room was terrified when they saw this, and the maid in the room was so frightened that she screamed and fainted.
The guard, with a pale face, supported the third prince who retreated in fear.
He, a military general, was frightened like this, not to mention the Third Prince, a prince who had lived a life of luxury since childhood. He was so frightened that his legs were shaking so much that he couldn't even stand.
The Third Prince pointed at the box and said in horror, "Yes, it's them..."
The guards looked and found that these corpses and heads were exactly the two hundred people sent to the imperial prison by the third prince.
The Third Prince's face suddenly turned even paler. "It's Ning Cuo. He knows it's me!"
The guard asked in surprise, "How could it be so fast?"
The Third Prince said in fear and anger, "Someone must have been captured alive and betrayed me."
The guard said fearfully, "It seems that Governor Ning has made preparations in advance. The imperial prison is a trap, Your Highness!"
How could the Third Prince not understand? But it was useless to understand now.
This time, we didn't gain any benefit at all. So many people died for no reason, and we also offended Ning Cuo, a big troublemaker.
This time, he just made a slight move, but the other party gave him such a big gift in return. Moreover, such a box of human heads was delivered smoothly all the way to his bedroom.
The guard said with some fear, "I've heard that this Governor Ning is not easy to mess with. If I had known..."
The Third Prince shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
The guards were afraid to speak.
The third prince was still shocked and angry and began to think about how this matter would end!
Da Nei was imprisoned.
Xiao Lezi took the confession and handed it to the man respectfully.
Seeing the man casually raise his hand to take it, he said with a smile, "This person is quite interesting. He is actually a spy sent by others to lurk around the Third Prince. He has been with the Third Prince for many years and has secretly dug out so many secrets from him."
Ning Cuo's charming eyes glanced at the confession, and his lips curled coldly, "It's quite a lot, take it away and see what happens!"
Xiao Lezi took it with a smile. Seeing the man stand up, he immediately asked, "Master, are you going back home, or?"
Ning Cuo lazily put one hand behind his back and glanced at him with his narrow eyes, "What a waste of questions."
Xiao Lezi laughed immediately, "Madam, you must have finished your work by now. If Prince Yu is smart, he might have obtained Madam's divorce papers by now."
Ning Cuo smiled at her beautiful lips and was about to leave.
A voice came from behind, "Master Dugong, someone came to tell me that Princess Rongchang wants to see you."
Xiao Lezi glanced at the man, and seeing that he was a little unhappy, he immediately scolded him coldly, "Don't you want to die? Is the Dugong just someone you can meet whenever you want?"
The person who spoke quickly knelt down and said, "I know, but Princess Rongchang said it concerns Madam Xiao's life or death..."
