Chapter 355 Drag him out and bury him
"My lord, this Consort Chun seems to treat you... why do you..."
One of the guards couldn't help but ask, "This Consort Chun is quite cute and pretty, so why is Lord Chen still unwilling to marry her?"
Chen Jie glanced at the guard who had spoken, and with a slight turn of the ring on his finger, a needle that had absorbed a cow's hair flew out and pierced the guard's neck.
The guard clutched his neck and collapsed before he could utter a sound.
Another guard quickly knelt down.
“Drag him out and bury him, along with his family,” Chen Jie said calmly. “I don’t need talkative people around me.”
"yes."
Another guard quickly dragged the body away, thankfully he hadn't asked any questions all those times.
......
Langya Prince's Mansion.
Pei Yanchuan gently placed the tipsy Jiang Wanning on the bed.
"Your Highness, we servants will help the Princess Consort bathe," Haitang said.
"No need, I can handle it. You should go to sleep early too," Pei Yanchuan said calmly.
He had already seen Mo Ran sneaking around waiting in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Haitang quietly withdrew.
Pei Yanchuan gently undressed Jiang Wanning piece by piece, until the last piece, when Jiang Wanning couldn't help but open her eyes.
"Awake?" Pei Yanchuan smiled.
Jiang Wan Ning pulled the blanket over herself. "Does Your Highness know I'm faking being drunk?"
Pei Yanchuan smiled without saying anything, but got up to carry Jiang Wanning, saying, "I'll take you to take a bath."
Jiang Wan Ning looked down and smelled herself. Today she had spent time in a teahouse, gone shopping, and then had hot pot and drinks. She definitely had a smell on her body and needed to wash it off.
Jiang Wan Ning wrapped her inner garment tighter around herself and prepared to get out of bed. "I can go by myself."
She had just stood up when Pei Yanchuan picked her up in his arms.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan Ning didn't say much. Although they had been married for a long time, they were both very busy, and there were very few times like this.
Jiang Wanning was still a little embarrassed to be naked in front of Pei Yanchuan.
But since they've been married for so long, this is a bit pretentious. Luckily, she just carried me to the bathtub.
Pei Yanchuan gently placed Jiang Wanning into the bathtub. Jiang Wanning poked her wet head out and said, "Your Highness, please go to sleep first. I can do it myself."
Before Jiang Wan Ning could finish speaking, she saw Pei Yan Chuan start taking off his clothes right in front of her.
Jiang Wan Ning quickly covered her eyes, "Your Highness, Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Pei Yanchuan laughed, "I'm bathing with my own queen. What? Does she not want to? Does she think I'm not good enough?"
Jiang Wan Ning's face flushed red. "I...I didn't mean that at the time."
Before Jiang Wan Ning could explain, she felt the water in the bathtub rise a little, and a body pressed against her.
That night
Jiang Wan Ning didn't sleep all night...
Exhausted and lying on the bed, Jiang Wan Ning suddenly touched her lower abdomen. "Strange, we've been married for so long, why haven't I gotten pregnant yet?"
She had already had a check-up, and neither she nor Pei Yanchuan had any problems.
Pei Yanchuan reached out and pinched Jiang Wanning's cheek. "Because I took my medicine."
Jiang Wan Ning suddenly rolled over, and the soreness in her lower back immediately came, causing her to frown in discomfort. "Why is Your Highness taking medicine?"
"Don't you want to have a child with me?"
Pei Yanchuan laughed, "How could that be?"
"However, things are still uncertain. If you become pregnant, you will attract many people who want to harm you. I don't want you to be in too much danger. We can have the child later."
Jiang Wan Ning felt a surge of emotion. In matters between men and women, it was always the woman who took the medicine; no man had ever been willing to take the medicine voluntarily.
Pei Yanchuan secretly drank the medicine behind my back.
"You have energy now?" Pei Yanchuan smiled as he looked at Jiang Wanning beside him. He placed his hand from under the covers on Jiang Wanning's flat stomach, and Jiang Wanning immediately shuddered.
He wrapped his head in the blanket and mumbled from inside, "I haven't recovered yet. If Your Highness has something to say, please get up."
You really can't say a man is incapable.
Pei Yanchuan wanted to stay with Jiang Wanning for a little longer when Mo Qing's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, His Majesty has sent someone to tell you to come to the palace immediately."
Jiang Wan Ning then poked her little head out, "It seems His Majesty must have something important to discuss in such a hurry, Your Highness. Please go and see."
Pei Yanchuan nodded, got up, tidied himself up, and left.
Jiang Wan Ning slept all morning until lunchtime, when Hai Tang finally woke her up, saying, "Your Highness, you should at least eat something. You can't just keep sleeping without eating."
Jiang Wan Ning opened her eyes groggily, "Good begonia, you don't understand."
“How could this servant not understand? This servant and Peony were taught by Your Highness. If Your Highness understands, then this servant understands a little bit as well.”
"Speaking of peony, I really miss her. In the past, when she was here, she was the one who prepared the Princess's meals. I wonder how she is doing by the Empress's side."
“You really don’t understand this kind of thing, I can’t teach you.” Jiang Wan Ning got up and sat on the bed, rubbing her sore back. “Mo Ran will teach you after you get married.”
Haitang's cheeks flushed red. "Who wants to marry him?"
"Is that not possible?" Jiang Wan Ning said deliberately, "Then I'll have the Prince choose one for Mo Ran, since Mo Ran is of marriageable age."
"Your Highness," Haitang stamped her foot, "why are you teasing me?"
Jiang Wan Ning chuckled, stood up and put on the clothes Hai Tang had brought. "If you want to see the peonies, go to the palace yourself. Her Majesty the Empress has given you a token, so you can enter the palace at any time with the token."
"This servant will stay by the Princess's side to take care of her. Besides, it's not like Peony isn't coming back."
Jiang Wan Ning finished tidying up and was eating the meal that Hai Tang had prepared for her. Pei Yan Chuan wasn't there, so when she was alone, she would just eat whatever she could find in the room and didn't go to the kitchen.
While we were eating, Peony rushed in.
"Speak of the devil and he appears! Peony, why are you back?" Begonia asked.
"Has something happened to the Empress?"
Peony shook her head. "No, no, Her Majesty the Empress is perfectly fine."
"Then why did you rush back in such a hurry?" Haitang asked as she poured tea for Shaoyao.
Peony picked up her teacup and took a sip, but still felt thirsty. She then grabbed the teapot and drank several more large gulps.
"This servant came for Your Highness."
Jiang Wan Ning and Hai Tang were both taken aback. "For me?"
Peony nodded. "Was His Highness summoned to the palace early this morning?"
Jiang Wan Ning nodded.
"When Her Majesty the Empress went to the Imperial Study to deliver soup to His Majesty today, she overheard that His Majesty wanted to take a concubine for the Prince. Her Majesty the Empress then sent someone to inquire about it, and it seems that Song Zhuran somehow told His Majesty about it last night."
"His Majesty has agreed. His Majesty dotes on Song Zhuran now, and he listens to whatever she says."
"Knowing that she couldn't stop it, the Empress sent me to tell Your Highness immediately."
