Chapter 352 The Princess of the Dandy World Just Wants to Show Off 48
Until November 28th, a rare heavy snow fell in Huadu.
It fluttered like goose feathers, and in less than half an hour, Huadu was dressed in new clothes.
The sky is covered with white, and it is covered in silver.
The vendors packed up and went home early, and everything was quiet.
But the plan was soon broken up by a team of hurried guards, and sedan chairs were carried into Prince Ning's palace.
At that time, Mingnan and Xie Wuyou were sitting under the porch, drinking wine, watching the snow, and chatting about everything under the sun. When they were talking about something interesting, Zhou Xingzhi walked over quickly.
Xie Wuyu's smile faded slightly, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
After Zhou Xingzhi greeted them, he said in a deep voice, "There's news from the palace that half of the people in the Imperial Hospital have gone to Prince Ning's mansion. Prince Ning - I'm afraid she's about to give birth."
"Should we send a message to Haobai to take action?"
Xie Wuyu looked at Mingnan.
Ming Nanqian took a sip of the warm wine, which warmed her throat and stomach. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction and said, "Let them prepare and wait until the baby is born before taking any action."
Xie Wuyu was puzzled: "Why?"
"She's going to have a baby, she can't run away, why should we rush? The child is innocent, if she can be born, just give birth to her first."
"yes."
Zhou Xingzhi agreed and turned around to pass on the message.
Xie Wuyu looked at the heavy snow outside the corridor and sighed, "God has his way. The evil they sowed has finally come to fruition."
Mingnan put down the wine cup and held his hand. "Once this matter is settled, I will petition for a fiefdom. By then, the world will be vast and no one will be able to restrain us."
Xie Wuyu looked back and smiled, "Okay."
…
At noon, a loud cry of a baby was finally heard from Prince Ning's bedroom in Prince Ning's Mansion.
The midwife smiled and said, "It's born! Congratulations, my Lord! It's a daughter!"
Ming Jin, who was lying on the bed, was sweating all over, his face was pale, he had no strength at all, his eyelids were heavy, but he forced himself to cheer up and said, "Quick, let me see——"
The nurse wrapped the baby up and brought it to her to see. "It looks very beautiful."
The baby in the cradle still has a little red on his face, but his eyes and brows still look very delicate.
Ming Jin smiled with relief, "It's worth all the hard work I put in during the ten months of pregnancy. Good boy, you really do well."
There was constant laughter and joy in the house.
Cui Qing, who had been wandering in the corridor, wanted to go in and take a look, but he was hesitant to move forward.
The attendant guarding the door could not help but ask, "The king has given birth, isn't the king's wife happy?"
Cui Qing came back to his senses and covered his face with his hands. "I'm so happy. I'm just too happy. I don't know what to do for a moment."
The attendant did not think much about it and said with a smile: "This is your and the king's first daughter, and also your majesty's first granddaughter. She is very noble and has a bright future."
Cui Qing slowly put down his hand, lowered his head and murmured: "Yes...what about the first child..."
He took a deep breath, and when he raised his eyes again, they were full of bloodshot and there was a faint flash of water.
"You stay here and I'll go to the kitchen to see if the ginseng soup is ready."
After Cui Qing finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the heavy snow.
Before the servant could even open his mouth, the man disappeared out the door.
She scratched her head and muttered, "At least take the umbrella with you. This is too hasty."
…
Cui Qing walked out of the yard, and the servant who came to look for him quickly opened his umbrella and ran over, "Master, why are you out?"
Cui Qing took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Has the person I asked Cui Zhe to keep an eye on made any move?"
Cui Zhe is a manager of the Cui family, specializing in handling matters that are not easy to make public.
The servant looked around and whispered in Cui Qing's ear, "That's what I came here to say. Here comes the man!"
"What?!" Cui Qing felt as if he was tied to a rock and sank to the bottom of the water.
He clenched his hands and asked with almost gritted teeth: "Where is it?"
The servant whispered, "Manager Cui sent someone to pretend to be delivering a letter and quietly told me that the man heard the noise and left in a carriage. Our people followed carefully all the way and saw with their own eyes that the carriage stopped at the west corner gate. I guess it should have entered the mansion now."
Cui Qing's eyes went dark, and the last bit of hope was shattered by reality!
After receiving the letter, he did not question Mingjin directly, but sent a letter to his family first, asking them to help investigate. He was afraid that someone was trying to sow discord between them, so he confronted Mingjin and damaged the relationship between husband and wife.
It would have been better if I hadn't checked. Once I checked, I found out that these two people had been in cahoots with each other for a long time!
According to the time when Mingjin was pregnant, the two did meet during that period, and Mingjin even stayed overnight at Lu Feiyu's place.
Mingjin gave birth earlier than expected, and it was very likely that she lied about the month at the beginning.
And going back further, Mingjin didn't touch him at all during that period of time.
After becoming pregnant, Mingjin seldom went to his yard. Most of the time, she either slept in the study or went to see Lu Feiyu.
It is obvious who the child belongs to.
Thinking back to the time when I had run around for Mingjin and begged desperately at the palace—
Scenes flashed through his mind quickly, and Cui Qing felt pain and hatred in his heart.
He could accept Mingjin marrying a concubine, and she could just take him back if she liked, so why did she lie to him?
He was made to believe that the child was his, which made him happy for a long time, but in the end he was just making things difficult for others.
He treated Mingjin with all his heart like a fool. When she had no money, he used her dowry to subsidize her. When she had no one, he asked the Cui family for help.
He tried his best to support her, but she said nice things to him and then turned around and threw herself into the arms of another man.
What does she think of him and the Cui family?
A dog that comes when she calls it and goes away when she sends it away?
Cui Qing closed his eyes, shuddered and let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, the servant said worriedly, "Master, don't get angry yet. If you get angry, it will only make things easier for them."
Cui Qing slowly loosened his hand, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression was extremely firm.
He lowered his eyes and said to the servant, "Tell someone to keep an eye on him. If Lu Feiyu comes, don't stop him. Let him go in and keep Mingjin company. If he wants to leave, tell him he's an assassin and arrest him."
The servant responded and asked, "What about you, Master?"
Cui Qing walked away, saying decisively, "Enter the palace."
…
He secretly collected evidence of Mingjin's clique-building and selfish activities. Of course, this was not enough to completely overthrow her. The most fatal thing was that Mingjin privately raised soldiers with the intention of rebellion.
Mingjin could hide it from others, but she couldn't hide it from the person beside her, especially since she used a lot of Cui Qing's dowry.
How could Cui Qing be completely unaware of this?
He took these evidences and rode into the palace to meet the emperor.
At that time, the emperor was watching the snow with him in Fengjun Palace. When he heard the report, he thought that Mingjin had met with an accident, so he quickly let the person in.
As a result, Cui Qing came in, knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor and Feng Jun were both stunned.
The emperor asked, "What crime have you committed?"
Cui Qing fell to the ground, choking with sobs, and said, "I want to expose Prince Ning's conspiracy and private soldiers, and his intentions to commit crimes. Here is the evidence, please take a look, Your Majesty!"
The emperor's face suddenly darkened, and before he could say anything, someone came in and said that the Crown Princess had an important matter to discuss with His Majesty.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Let her——"
Feng Jun said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Xin'er would not ask for an audience without reason. There must be something urgent. Call her in to ask her about it, so as to avoid any mistakes."
The emperor thought the same and let the crown princess in as well.
The Crown Princess was obviously stunned when she saw Cui Qing, and Feng Jun coughed lightly to remind her.
The princess immediately came back to her senses, knelt down and said, "Your son greets mother and father."
"No thanks, tell me, what's the matter?"
The emperor was unhappy and his tone was not very good.
The Crown Princess immediately said with a smile: "I want to expose Prince Ning for privately raising personal soldiers and privately building weapons. I have caught the witness and will summon him to confront him immediately!"
Emperor, Lord Feng: “???”
Cui Qing: “…”
