At that time, everyone in the palace was stunned.
His Royal Highness Prince Chen doted on Princess Chen too much. The emperor's face flushed, and his heart was heaving violently. He really never thought that Bei Mingchen loved Foxi so much. He thought that in Bei Mingchen's heart, Bei Mingning, who grew up together, was much more important than Foxi. But now, he was really stuck.
The atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme. There was silence in the palace. No one dared to speak, not even the sound of breathing. Everyone felt suffocated, and a fear shrouded everyone. This weird atmosphere made everyone tremble.
Bei Mingchen's face was extremely embarrassed, his eyes were extremely cold, and a cold murderous aura emanated from his body, as if he was a demon crawling out of hell. His cold eyes swept over the person who pointed the sword at him.
The guards were frightened by this murderous intent and trembled constantly. Each of them was pale and stood there stiffly, but they did not dare to stop until the emperor spoke.
Bei Mingchen slowly clenched his fists, his hand bones crackled, veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes were full of bloodthirstiness and cruelty.
The emperor began to sweat on his forehead. He did not doubt at all that Bei Mingchen wanted to kill him.
If what he said next was not in line with Bei Mingchen's wishes, then Bei Mingchen would definitely get rid of him.
Did the Queen Mother tell Bei Mingchen the truth?
Probably not. If Bei Mingchen knew the truth, he would not be so calm.
The Queen Mother was a hidden danger, but he had not yet gotten the secret of An Junguo out of her. Thinking of this, the Emperor's face was full of contemplation.
Forget it. The secret was nothing more than the twins of the legitimate descendants. In order to avoid more trouble, he should get rid of the Queen Mother first. After Bei Mingchen's twins were born, he would slowly figure it out.
She raised her eyes and met the violent Bei Mingchen's gaze, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Don't be angry, Your Highness. I am emotionally out of control after losing my beloved son, but there must be evidence for everything. I hope Princess Chen can give me an explanation for the cloth that the coroner took out from Ning'er's palm."
Fuxi's eyes were full of scrutiny, and she stabbed at the emperor like a sharp blade. She opened her red lips and slowly said: "What explanation does the emperor want me to give? Prove that this cloth is not mine? Or find a witness to prove that I didn't have time to kill Bei Mingchen just now Ning?"
Bei Mingchen stood in front of Foxi, staring at the emperor, "This king is the best explanation for Foxi. This king's princess is very weak and well-behaved. She doesn't even dare to slap a cockroach to death, so how could she kill someone?"
At this moment, a cockroach crawled in front of Foxi, panting and saying, "Zizi... Sister Xi, I finally found you. That dog emperor is planning to kill you. You have to be more careful. I crawled a long way and crawled hard to tell you the news. It shouldn't be too late, right?"
Foxi laughed. She wanted to say that it was too late.
Seeing that Foxi was very vicious, the cockroach was scared and crawled back two steps, fearing that Foxi would be unhappy and step on it again.
Everyone: This, she doesn't look weak and well-behaved. You see, even the cockroaches were scared and retreated when they saw her, which shows that she usually slapped a lot of cockroaches to death.
Bei Minghuai took the opportunity to ease the atmosphere, and his hearty voice was heard: "Princess Chen looks weak. This prince believes that she would not kill anyone. There must be some hidden story."
"Your Highness is right. I also believe that it was not Princess Chen who killed His Highness Prince Ning. There must be some hidden story."
"I also think it was not Princess Chen."
"Prince Chen is the god of war of the Anzheng Kingdom. How could Princess Chen kill anyone?"
"I second the motion..."
Seeing that Bei Minghuai had taken the lead, the ministers in the hall began to agree. They only hoped that this matter would be put to a close as soon as possible. If the stalemate continued, then they, the ministers, would definitely be the ones to suffer in the end.
The Emperor also wanted to let this matter go. Hearing these words, he immediately agreed: "It seems that Princess Chen was indeed wronged. Minister of Justice, I order you to investigate this matter as soon as possible." The
Minister of Justice accepted the order: "I obey your order..."
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the matter was finally over, Bei Mingchen spoke.
"How can it be so easy to let go of the wronged princess of my king."
Prime Minister Ning and his wife were shocked. Is Prince Chen going to settle the score?
Hearing this, the Emperor looked at Prime Minister Ning and his wife in the direction of Bei Mingchen's sight. He knew what Bei Mingchen was thinking.
It has been more than 20 years since that incident. Prime Minister Ning has kept his mouth shut all these years, but after all, a living person is not as reassuring as a dead person. In this case, he should retire.
"Don't worry, Prince Chen. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Bei Mingchen's mouth curled up slightly with a mocking look, and he looked at Prime Minister Ning with a cold look, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, "Then I will wait for the emperor's good news."
After saying that, he took Foxi's hand and walked out of the palace.
Prime Minister Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said that it was not good. He looked up at the emperor and saw that the emperor's eyes were all distant and indifferent. His eyes narrowed. Did the emperor want to throw him out?
The emperor pressed his brows and said solemnly: "The Minister of Justice will conduct a thorough investigation overnight. The other ministers can leave first."
"I will take my leave."
Prime Minister Ning saw that the other ministers had left, raised his head and looked at the emperor, still holding a lucky mentality, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor took a sip of the tea, then put it down and said indifferently: "The tea is cold..."
The eunuch beside him immediately took the tea away, and waved his hand. The other guards and eunuchs in the palace received the instructions and all withdrew.
Prime Minister Ning knew what the emperor meant, and said to the prime minister's wife beside him: "You go back first."
The prime minister's wife bowed and withdrew.
The sound of the hall door closing rang out, and only the emperor and Prime Minister Ning were left in the huge hall. Then, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer, and the sound stopped outside the hall.
Prime Minister Ning looked back and vaguely saw that the hall was surrounded by guards with swords. He could sense the unusually depressing atmosphere outside the hall, but at this moment, the hall was even more depressing.
Prime Minister Ning knocked his head on the ground, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this."
The emperor's face was unusually calm, and his tone was also very calm: "What are you talking about?"
Prime Minister Ning slowly raised his head, "Your Majesty, what happened tonight..."
The emperor interrupted: "What happened tonight?"
Prime Minister Ning looked at the emperor's expression and knew that the emperor was going to play dumb, "Your Majesty, are you really going to be so cruel?"
A gleam of light flashed in the emperor's eyes: "Prime Minister Ning, are you blaming me?"
Prime Minister Ning: "I dare not, I just want to seek truth from facts."
The emperor nodded with interest and murmured to himself, "Seek truth from facts."
As he spoke, his face showed a slight smile, but in an instant he turned cold and angry, sneering, "The truth is that the prime minister's wife saw Princess Chen beating Prince Ning, and remembered that the prime minister's daughter was ordered to be beaten by Prince Chen because she contradicted Princess Chen. She felt resentful and conspired with Prime Minister Ning to kill Prince Ning and then frame Princess Chen for revenge."
Prime Minister Ning's face became paler and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "I didn't... I definitely didn't do these things."
The emperor's eyes became sharp. He stared at Prime Minister Ning, as if he wanted to see through him, "No? Prime Minister, didn't you hear what I said?"
Prime Minister Ning knelt on the ground, his body trembling a little, his eyes filled with strong hatred, clenched his teeth, "Your Majesty-"
The emperor said indifferently, "I know that Prime Minister Ning did this because he loves his daughter. I heard that the Prime Minister's daughter and the prince have a close relationship. In this case, the Prime Minister's daughter will be given to the prince as a concubine."
Prime Minister Ning closed his eyes when he heard this. He knew that this was the last warning from the emperor.
Retribution, he should have known that there would be such a day more than 20 years ago. After tonight, I am afraid there will be no Prime Minister Ning anymore.
However, if Wan'er could marry the prince, when he ascends the throne in the future, with Wan'er's intelligence and talent, she would definitely be able to win the prince's favor. Then, would the Ning family still be afraid of not being able to turn things around?
Thinking of this, he calmed down, opened his eyes and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am still the Prime Minister. I am afraid it is not appropriate for the Prime Minister to give the prince a huge sum of money as a concubine."
The emperor said, glanced at Prime Minister Ning, and said casually, "In this case, then make her a concubine." Prime
Minister Ning stopped at the good point, "Your Majesty, thank you very much." The
emperor picked up a piece of cake and pretended to appreciate it, "I like these dead things the most, and I also love to talk to them, because no matter what I say, they can't say it."
Prime Minister Ning understood and kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave..."
The emperor looked at Prime Minister Ning's back, crushed the cake in his hand into crumbs, then let go of his hand and stood up, "Go to Concubine Ning Jiagui's place."
"Yes..."
In the carriage;
Bei Mingchen held Foxi's hand tightly, watching Foxi close her eyes and purse her lips. There was no sound in the carriage, not even her inner voice.
"Xier?"
Foxi opened her eyes.
Bei Mingchen rubbed Foxi's hair, turned Foxi's head to look at him, and said domineeringly: "You are mine, I don't allow you to be sad for others."
Foxi raised her eyes, with some surprise in her eyes, opened her tightly pursed lips, and said in a calm tone: "I didn't."
Bei Mingchen was puzzled for a moment, "Then you..."
Foxi raised her lips and smiled, "Bei Mingning's corpse is very disgusting, I feel a little nauseous."
Bei Mingchen He pressed Foxi's head on his chest and stroked her hair, "I promise, I will never let you see anything bad again."
Foxi broke away from Bei Mingchen's hand, then wrapped her arms around Bei Mingchen's waist, listening to his beating heart, she felt very safe, and said lazily, "I believe you." Bei Mingchen lowered his
head to look at the person in his arms, and his lips covered Foxi's forehead.
Foxi's lazy voice: "Bei Mingchen..."
"I'm..."
"Bei Mingchen, let's rebel."
"Okay..."
Foxi stood up from Bei Mingchen's arms and stared into his eyes, "Did you hear what I just said? I said let's rebel, not let's sleep."
Bei Mingchen laughed and continued to pull Foxi into his arms, "As long as you say, I will agree and do it." Foxi
felt warm in her heart when she heard this, "Don't you even ask why?"
"What you said makes sense."
"Then I don't want to be intimate with you. "
"Well, it's okay for me to be intimate with you."
"Bei Mingchen, you are such a dog."
"What do you mean by dog?"
"You're flattering."
Bei Mingchen used force with his backhand, and before Foxi realized it, she was in Bei Mingchen's arms.
Bei Mingchen said nothing, he placed Foxi's hand on his neck, lowered his head and kissed her.
This kiss was very long, and lasted until Lingxiao's voice came.
"Princess, Prince, we have arrived at the palace."
Foxi opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling with tears, and she patted Bei Mingchen weakly.
Bei Mingchen let go of Foxi, picked up the cloak on the side and put it on Foxi, then picked up Foxi and walked down the carriage, and walked straight into the room of Chenxi Courtyard.
Lingxiao and Congxin followed closely behind, and the two stopped at the door of Chenxi Courtyard. Not long after, the blushing voice came out.
Lingxiao took out his earplugs, took two steps forward and put them in Congxin's ears, then retreated to his original position, standing aside with his head down.
For some reason, both of them had flushed faces.
After a long time, Ling Xiao coughed lightly and said shyly, "Were you scared today?" Cong Xin
looked up, then shook his head and immediately lowered his head.
Ling Xiao touched his nose with his hand, as if he had mustered up the courage, "Don't worry, I will protect you in the future."
Cong Xin looked up and looked at Ling Xiao, raised his lips and smiled, and said "hmm" softly.
Then; the inside
and outside of Chenxi Courtyard were filled with the sour smell of love. Since
ancient times, where there are people who are happy, there are people who are sad.
The news that Prime Minister Ning and his wife conspired to kill His Royal Highness Prince Ning and intended to frame Princess Chen spread overnight.
All the officials in the court were horrified, especially those who were close to Prime Minister Ning. They were terrified and worried that their careers would be affected.
The person who should be most worried and horrified was Ning Xianwan. She saw with her own eyes that the Prime Minister's Mansion was ransacked by the soldiers who rushed in, and all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were thrown into prison. However, she was spared because of her title as the future Crown Prince's concubine. The panicked Ning
Xianwan immediately dressed up and went straight to the Prince Chen's Mansion. She was seen kneeling at the door of the Prince Chen's Mansion, crying and swaying, and she looked extremely weak.
"Your Highness, Wan'er begs you to show mercy."
"As long as Your Highness forgives the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wan'er is willing to do anything."
"Your Highness, please have mercy on me and let my father go, Your Highness..."
"Wan'er is willing to do anything for Your Highness."
"Your Highness..."
Ning Xianwan cried as she spoke, her eyes fixed on the open door of Prince Chen's Mansion.
The guards at the door seemed not to have seen Ning Xianwan, standing straight at the door of Prince Chen's Mansion, without even a change in their expressions.
Ning Xianwan was crying with snot and saliva, and she couldn't control herself. She didn't see Bei Mingchen coming out for a long time, so she made up her mind, stood up and ran forward quickly.
With a "bang", Ning Xianwan bumped into the stone lion at the door of Prince Chen's Mansion, and blood immediately flowed from her head.
Ning Xianwan fell to the ground after the impact. She wanted to faint, but the pain on her forehead made her unusually awake.
The guards turned to look at Ning Xianwan, with contempt in their eyes. Is this person sick? She came to the gate of Prince Chen's mansion in the middle of the night to commit suicide. In the words of the princess, is this woman trying to scam people?
Ning Xianwan saw that the guards finally looked at her, and she didn't care about anything else. She let the blood on her forehead flow down and said very sadly: "Since the prince doesn't want to see Wan'er, then Wan'er will crash to death at the gate of Prince Chen's mansion."
Lingfeng said quickly: "Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute."
Ning Xianwan seemed not to hear and was about to crash into them.
Ling Feng took two steps forward and pointed at Ning Xianwan, "Are you sick? You came to Prince Chen's Mansion in the middle of the night to seek death. If you want to die, please stay away from Prince Chen's Mansion."
Ning Xianwan was swaying and about to fall. She looked at herself and said, "Prince, let's meet in the next life."
Ling Feng threw the sword in his hand and hit Ning Xianwan. Ning Xianwan fell to the ground, but she was still choking and muttering, "Don't worry about me, let me die."
Ling Feng was speechless, "I will definitely not care about you if you die somewhere else." He looked at the stone lion that Ning Xianwan had hit, reached out and touched it, "You have been wronged." Then he looked at Ning Xianwan again, "Don't hit the stone lion in our Prince Chen's Mansion again, okay?"
"Are you looking for death? Come, stand up." Then he pointed to the front and said very attentively: "I tell you, you go straight along this road, turn right at the end, and you will see a river in about an incense stick of time. The weather is not too cold now, and the river has not frozen yet. The river is very big, which should be enough for you to die several times."
After saying that, he looked at Ning Xianwan with disdainful eyes. It was really disgusting. She was dressed in white in the middle of the night, and there was blood on her head, just like that Ah Piao. Seeing
Ning Xianwan motionless, Lingfeng snorted coldly. He had disliked this woman for a long time. In the past, whenever there was something wrong, she would come to the prince to settle it for her. If there was nothing wrong, she would say that men and women should not touch each other. The key point was that the prince was also bewitched at that time and was fooled by this woman.
Now that the prince has a princess, he no longer takes this woman seriously. Can he still tolerate it?
No, of course he can't tolerate it. He wants to get back all the grievances that he and Lingxiao have suffered.
"Do you need me to tell you again?"
Ning Xianwan glared at Lingfeng. A guard dared to treat her like this, but now is not the time to care about these things.
"Prince, you..."
"Don't howl, the prince is being intimate with the princess right now, how can he care about you, a little bitch."
Lingfeng interrupted Ning Xianwan. The princess said that she couldn't be too kind to Ning Xianwan, otherwise Ning Xianwan would be like some kind of sticky candy, sticking to her body and she couldn't be thrown away.
