Prince Rong frowned: "Lan Shuang?"
Suddenly, the image of a beautiful woman with a gentle smile appeared before his eyes, and his heart was moved.
"So what if she knows? Can I still tie her up and torture her?"
Prince Rong's casual remark actually reminded Lan Yu Ning. Her eyes lit up, and she knelt on the ground, placed her hands on Prince Rong's knees, and raised her head to ask, "Why not?"
Prince Rong was stunned.
Lan Yuning whispered, "Your Highness, don't you know that Lan Shuang wanted to elope with someone on the day of her wedding, but suddenly changed her mind? There must be something fishy going on. Given the character Prince Ming has shown to others, how could he tolerate Lan Shuang openly cuckolding him? He should have killed her long ago, but Lan Shuang has survived to this day unscathed, not even looking haggard. How can that be justified?"
Lan Yuning gritted her teeth and said, "Perhaps she has some leverage over Prince Ming, or perhaps Prince Ming trusts her so much that he lets her go this far. In this way, we can start with Lan Shuang."
Prince Rong was somewhat persuaded: "How do we start?"
"I can find an excuse to trick Lan Shuang out. Then the prince can send someone to ambush her in secret and capture her in one fell swoop. I'm not afraid that she won't confess. As long as she confesses, whether it's true or not, it will give the emperor a legitimate reason to get rid of Prince Ming!"
"Your Highness has solved the Emperor's greatest concern, and you are the one who deserves the most credit. When the time comes, will you worry that the Emperor won't look upon you with respect, or that you won't be able to suppress the Crown Prince?"
Lan Yuning's gentle voice was like a snake in the dark night, specifically evoking the deepest desires in people's hearts.
The last two sentences touched a sore spot for Prince Rong. His eyes darkened, and he lifted Lan Yuning's chin. Looking into her eyes filled with ambition, he chuckled softly, "You're wrong. If that day ever comes, you'll be the first to achieve this. If this plan succeeds, I'll petition my father to make you the princess."
Lan Yuning's heart warmed, and she lay on Prince Rong's knees, very obediently, "It is my honor to be able to share your worries, Your Majesty."
The two of them laughed at the same time and started daydreaming before dawn.
…
However, the next morning, Prince Rong was called into the palace by the emperor and reprimanded, saying that he was making trouble out of nothing and asked him to return home and reflect on his mistakes.
Prince Rong was filled with rage, but he did not dare to defend himself, nor did he dare to tell the emperor about his plan, lest it fail again. By then, the emperor would surely be even more annoyed with him. It would be better for him to wait until it succeeded before claiming credit.
After he left the palace and returned home, he went to see the pregnant Li, leaving Lan Yuning, who was full of expectations, aside.
…
The undercurrents outside could not affect the two people in the Ming Palace.
Because he doesn't have to attend court, Prince Ming now sleeps in with Lan Shuang in his arms every day.
It was already noon when I reluctantly got up.
Lan Shuang touched her swollen lips helplessly, "You're really like that. If you don't eat meat, it's fine. But once you do, you want to make up for the past twenty years."
"Be careful, my Lord."
Lan Shuang fumbled and patted Ming Wang's face.
Ming Wang grabbed her hand and bit his fingertips. "You'll cry then."
Lan Shuang: "I want to cry now too."
Ming Wang let out a deep laugh from his chest, moved forward, and whispered to Lan Shuang on his back, "You'd better save your crying for night. It's not good if people see you in broad daylight."
Lan Shuang: “…”
Listen, is this human language?
She moved her shoulders helplessly: "Get up, my prince, the night is short and the sun is rising. You want to be a tyrant king, and I don't want to be a demon concubine."
Ming Wang pecked her earlobe lightly, then let go of her and sat up. Her long hair fell naturally in front of her, covering her lustful expression. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "So what do you want to do?"
He got out of bed, took some clean clothes and handed them to Lan Shuang, then put them on while standing in front of the bed.
Lan Shuang waited for him to put on his clothes and then hooked her finger at him. Ming Wang lowered his head in confusion: "Huh?"
Lan Shuang sat on the edge of the bed, the quilt piled up around her waist. She reached out to straighten Ming Wang's collar and whispered in his ear, "I want to be a free and unrestrained wanderer."
Ming Wang was stunned, and after sitting up, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"By the way, I think there's something you might be able to use."
Lan Shuang didn't give him a chance to think about it. She grabbed her clothes and put them on quickly. She stood up and walked to the outer room to get paper and pen, and wrote a page in a very fluent manner.
Ming Wang followed her and stood behind her, looking down at her. Then he opened his eyes wide and said, "This is..."
"You can find out the evidence of Prince Rong's corruption by sending someone to investigate. There might even be a surprise."
After the ink on the paper dried, Lan Shuang folded it in half and handed it to Prince Ming, smiling innocently, "They've already taken the initiative. If we don't fight back, we'll appear incompetent. If these things were placed on the emperor's desk, it would be enough to make Prince Rong unable to recover."
Ming Wang took the paper and read it carefully. The more he read, the more frightened he became. "He really dares."
"How did you get these things..."
Ming Wang stopped talking halfway, thinking that he shouldn't ask the question.
Lan Shuang didn't care. She spread her hands calmly: "Just like Lan Yuning said, I'm a lonely ghost. It's normal for me to know more things, right? Are you afraid?"
Ming Wang looked at her silently for a long time. After shaking his head, he embraced Lan Shuang in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid. If I were afraid, I wouldn't have kept you here. On the contrary, it would be better if you were a lonely ghost. You have no worries. There is only me and only me."
His voice deepened, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
Lan Shuang didn't care. It was normal for him to have some psychological problems after enduring humiliation for so many years. As long as he didn't hurt himself, it was okay. She could slowly help him heal.
"Okay, just you. Hold me tighter, I can't breathe."
Lan Shuang patted Ming Wang on the back, and Ming Wang obediently let go of her hand and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, go do what you should do, I'll wait for your good news."
Lan Shuang stood up and gave Ming Wang a light kiss.
King Ming reluctantly went to the study and spent the whole morning summoning his subordinates and adjusting plans.
…
The first day of November was a cloudy day. Gray clouds dotted the sky and a cold wind howled through the streets and alleys, as if winter had arrived overnight.
When the first rooster crowed, snowflakes suddenly began to fall outside the window.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and they headed straight for the palace in the wind and snow.
Not long after the emperor woke up, he received an urgent secret letter. After reading it, he was so angry that he overturned the dining table.
"Treason! Bastard! Treason!"
The emperor cursed loudly, his voice echoing throughout the empty bedroom.
The servants outside immediately knelt on the ground, and Li Jian took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"That evil creature is about to start a rebellion. How can I calm down his anger?"
The emperor's eyes were red. He never thought that Prince Rong had already set his sights on the military power before he died!
He gasped for breath, but he ran out of breath and passed out.
"emperor!"
Li Jian's sharp shout pierced the sky, and the palace was suddenly in chaos.
