Chapter 119 Who is the eldest princess’s adulterer?
Huo Xingzhi pushed the door open and saw Su Yuheng still lying on the couch, asleep.
Behind the half-hidden bed curtain, a young girl in a white inner garment was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.
Huo Xingzhi walked to the bed and slowly sat down.
He observed her for a long while and called her softly twice.
"Heng'er."
"Heng'er."
Seeing that no one moved, Huo Xingzhi gently stroked her cheek with his slender fingers.
His fingers slid down her cheek, gently lifted up her white underwear, and observed the wound on her chest.
The doctor said that the wound cannot be bandaged after applying the medicine, otherwise it will fester.
He found the medicine, lifted her clothes, and gently applied it to her.
As night fell, the sky gradually darkened.
After Huo Xingzhi covered her with a quilt, he left the room.
"Is the horse ready?" he asked Bai Ze.
Bai Ze nodded and said, "We are ready. According to your Highness' instructions, our men have already secretly ambushed around the mansion."
"That's good."
After leaving Prince Li's Mansion, Huo Xingzhi and Bai Ze jumped on a fast horse and headed directly towards the north of the city.
In one month we will leave Yanjing and head to the border.
He wanted to clear away obstacles for Su Yuheng.
Even if it can only give her a moment of peace.
In the north of Yanjing City, in a quiet house.
The dim candlelight illuminated the inner courtyard.
A charming woman was lying on the chaise longue in the main wing.
The woman closed her eyes, and soon she heard some noise outside the door.
She slowly opened her eyes and heard a maid's voice outside the door.
"Princess, the Duke is here."
Princess Yan Ning got down from the couch and looked outside the room meaningfully.
"Let him in."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the wing room was pushed open with a creak.
A middle-aged man came in from outside the door. He was about forty or fifty years old.
Although he is old, one can still vaguely see his handsome features.
It can be seen that he was a rare handsome man when he was young.
After the man came in, he signaled the maid beside him to go out.
The maid turned around and closed the door of the side room.
After the door closed, the man slowly approached and hugged Princess Yanning's waist from behind.
"Yan Ning, I thought you were gone, but I didn't expect you were still here."
"Didn't His Majesty exile you to Lingnan? You didn't go?"
Princess Yan Ning came out of the man's arms with a smile on her face, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently stroked the man's cheek.
"Lord Gao, do you think I can leave?"
She smiled and continued, "For Daqin, for our son Jing Che, how could I leave?"
"Now Jing Che and I were set up at the Emperor's birthday banquet. Jing Che is under house arrest, and I am exiled. I really can't accept this. How can I willingly go to Lingnan?"
"I've been planning this for so many years, how could I possibly let it go to waste?"
She reached out and slowly climbed onto Duke Gao's shoulders, whispering, "I won't be satisfied until I see our Jing Che ascend to the throne."
Duke Gao took her arm off his neck and helped her sit on the chair.
"Have you investigated this matter thoroughly? Who did it?"
Princess Yan Ning's expression was cold. She sighed and said, "If my guess is correct, it's either the Queen's party or Prince Li's party."
"Prince Rui, Prince Li, and our Jing Che are most likely to be chosen as the crown prince."
"If anything happens to our Jing Che, the ones who will benefit the most are Prince Li and Prince Rui."
Duke Gao sat on a chair, squinting his eyes as he looked at Princess Yanning.
"Now that Northern Qi has invaded, His Majesty has sent several princes to the frontier."
"I originally wanted to secretly advise that damned emperor to have Prince Li, Prince Rui, and Prince Qin go there so that the three of them can be transferred out of Yanjing. That way, we can support Jing Che to take the throne."
"But..." Duke Gao's words stopped at his lips.
"Who would have thought that today in the court, Prince Li actually wanted Jing Che to redeem himself for his crimes and go to the important border fortress together? How can we carry out our plan then?"
"We have to withdraw our ambush at Wolf Mountain!"
"What did you say?" Princess Yan Ning slapped the armchair with her hand.
"You said Huo Xingzhi asked Jing Che to go with him? How can that be possible!"
Gao Guodao said, "Not only Huo Xingzhi, but also Prince Rui sent Jing Che to go. Could it be that they know something?"
"The ambush at Wolf Mountain was kept very secret and could not be leaked to anyone."
"How could they possibly know, being such idiots?" Princess Yan Ning sneered.
"It's just because our Jing Che is good at using military tactics on the battlefield."
"At worst, we can just let Jing Che sneak away midway. There's always a way to avoid Wolf Mountain."
After Princess Yanning finished speaking, she looked at Duke Gao meaningfully.
"What do you think, Duke?"
Duke Gao stood up from his chair and walked to the side of Princess Yanning.
He picked the person up from the chair and walked towards the bed.
"Yan Ning is still very thoughtful."
"As long as we follow your plan, Jing Che will surely ascend to a high position and bring about a new dynasty in Great Yan."
After he put the person on the bed, he began to undress himself.
Princess Yan Ning curled her lips and smiled.
Her slender fingers hooked his belt, and with a little force, the belt came loose.
"I wonder if you've missed me these past few months?"
"Of course I do."
The bed curtain fell and the man pressed forward. Soon, the woman's charming voice and the man's muffled groan were heard from inside.
late at night.
Duke Gao got up from the bed and put his arms around Princess Yanning.
"Your actions in this north city mansion must not be exposed. If anyone finds out, it might even reach the ears of that dog emperor."
"When the time comes, you will definitely be exiled by the dog emperor."
Princess Yan Ning was half-naked and reached out to touch the man's cheek.
"Don't worry, no one will find out."
She sighed and said, "Somehow, I feel like the revelation of Zhang Nanyi's pregnancy on the Grand Emperor's birthday wasn't so simple. It seemed like someone had deliberately orchestrated it."
Duke Gao frowned slightly, somewhat incredulous.
"Why do you say that? But Jing Che has indeed ruined the girl's innocence."
Princess Yanning said coldly, "But it just so happened that when Jing Che asked the Emperor for permission to marry Su Yuheng, Zhang Nanyi vomited blood?"
"Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
"Do you suspect Su Yuheng of this?"
Princess Yanning said, "I am just suspicious, not sure."
"When Jing Che was assassinated on the pleasure boat, it was also her doing. In the end, somehow, she was able to escape unharmed, and a death row prisoner from the Yanjing government office died as a scapegoat."
"The person behind her is probably not as simple as the Su family."
"Do you suspect that the person behind her is the Emperor?"
Princess Yan Ning said coldly: "No, it's not just the Emperor."
"The King of Qin and his concubine personally testified for her, so she won over the King of Qin."
"There must be someone behind her. Who is this person?"
"Could it be Huo Xingzhi?"
"Huo Xingzhi just returned from the frontier not long ago, how could he have any connection with her?"
"Besides, I heard that Huo Xingzhi already has a beloved, and he even let that woman into Prince Li's mansion."
