Chapter 414 As long as you can bear it, I will accompany you to the end

"If you want to play, you can..."

Looking at Xie Zhuoning's nervous expression, Xiao Jinxuan sighed softly and agreed directly.

But his eyes were dim, and he said the ugly words first, "As long as you can bear it and don't ask for mercy, I will accompany you to the end."

Xie Zhuoning's smile froze, and his eyes immediately wandered, "After we return to Beijing, we still have a lot of things to deal with, so there's no rush. Haha."

The way he shrank his neck in resistance was obviously because he was reminded of the beastly energy of this guy and was instantly frightened.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jinxuan suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "I am in a hurry. A gentleman values ​​his word. Since I promised you, I should fulfill my promise as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it gets out, won't people say that I am untrustworthy? Don't you agree, Princess?"

Xie Zhuoning's mouth twitched.

No, who would spread such secrets between husband and wife?

She used to think that Xiao Jinxuan was old-fashioned, serious and boring, but after she opened his eyes, she realized that he was a big bad wolf who hid his tail every day to get meat!

Her eyes flickered, and she leaned closer, her index finger moving down from his Adam's apple, "My husband is right. I regard my husband as my God, how can I let him become a traitor?"

She was too close, so close that her breath lingered, her red lips, white neck, slender waist... every part of her was full of fatal temptation, tempting people to pick her up.

Xiao Jinxuan's Adam's apple slid up and down, and he reached out to grab that slender waist.

But Xie Zhuoning stood up immediately, leaving him empty-handed.

She covered her lips and chuckled, "Oh my, I just remembered that I have an appointment. I am so considerate of my husband, can you also be considerate of me and not let me break my promise?"

Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Oh? Who did you meet? I happen to be free, so I can go with you. After all, the capital is too chaotic now, and I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone."

They entered Beijing all the way and knew each other's situation very well.

He didn't know when she had made an appointment to meet someone.

"Of course it is..." Xie Zhuoning's mind raced, trying to think of someone to use as a scapegoat.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper Yan He came quickly to report, "Master, Princess, Mr. Murong is here."

Xie Zhuoning immediately found the steps, "Oh, he got here first, just as we were talking about him."

In the living room.

Murong Yan held the teacup in one hand and fiddled with the lid with his other hand, but he didn't even drink a sip of the tea when it was almost cold.

Looking closely, he was sitting straight with his eyes unblinking, obviously in a trance.

When two figures walked in against the light, he raised his head to look after hearing the noise. He was immediately panicked and knocked over the teacup, and stood up with tears in his eyes, "Miss..."

When he heard the news of her death without a single bone left, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

The scorching sun fell, and only darkness remained before his eyes.

He never thought that he would see her again in his lifetime.

She is still alive, still alive...

What better news could there be?

Restraining the surging emotions in his heart, he lowered his eyes, stopped three steps away from Xie Zhuoning, and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess."

Even at this time, he was restrained and polite, not overstepping the mark.

"We are not strangers, so why should you be so polite?" Xie Zhuoning quickly asked him to stand up and sat down and said.

"We just returned to Beijing and have been hiding our whereabouts all the way. How did you know we were back, sir?"

She was a little curious. Could it be that something went wrong?

Murong Yan explained: "The prince made such a big fuss in Prince Xuan's mansion. I was afraid something might happen, so I rushed over immediately after hearing the news. I never expected to see the prince leaving Prince Xuan's mansion with a gloomy face."

The prince looked unhappy, obviously confused. In such a huge Xuan Palace, who else could do this?

"So I boldly guessed that it must be you who came back."

Murong Yan's mind was originally the most meticulous and cautious.

Xie Zhuoning smiled, "You really guessed it right."

"But..." Murong Yan looked at Xie Zhuoning in surprise, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince surprised to see you?"

No matter who you are, seeing someone come back to life from the dead would be a bit shocking, right?

Xie Zhuoning propped his chin up and said, "What's so strange about that? I'm just a substitute concubine who looks like the princess."

A substitute? A concubine?

Murong Yan's mouth twitched.

This woman is both a mistress and a concubine. His Highness Prince Xuan's reputation is in jeopardy!

Xiao Jinxuan coughed twice and quickly skipped the topic, "Let's talk about the current situation in the capital."

Although pigeons deliver letters to them every day, so they can get a general idea, the details still need to be explained in detail.

Murong Yan's expression was shocked. "Now that the emperor is seriously ill in bed and Prince Yong is under house arrest, all important state affairs are controlled by the crown prince alone..."

Emperor Zhaowen's death was approaching, and he had not attended court for a long time.

After Prince Yong lost the support of the Western Sichuan Army, Queen Mother Yin was immediately placed under house arrest in Fu'an Temple to pray for blessings and was no longer allowed to return to the capital. Meanwhile, everyone in the mansion of Duke Zheng was quickly imprisoned.

When the Duke's Mansion was confiscated, there were unexpected gains.

"The idiot from the Yin family had married the daughter of Song Jian, the former Minister of Works. When their house was searched, she was so thin that she looked like a skeleton, with wounds all over her body. She was no longer in human form. It is said that after she got married, she had to give several bowls of blood to Yin Lei every day as a medicine to cure his idiocy."

Not only that, Yin Lei only has the mental capacity of a few-year-old child, so he plays the horse riding game with Song Yuyao every day.

With the weight of two or three hundred kilograms on the skinny Song Yuyao's back, it is hard for her to survive to this day.

Xie Zhuoning recalled that Song Jian's family was reluctant to give up the opportunity to marry into the Duke of Zheng's Mansion, and they were also reluctant to give up their beloved daughter, so they planned to marry Ah Yu to the Duke to suffer.

Now their greed has backfired, and the whole family has finally suffered the consequences.

Ah Yu and her mother had suffered all their lives, and seeing them end up like this, they must have found some comfort in their hearts.

Murong Yan continued, "As for Prince Yong and his conspirators, a sad thing happened when they were imprisoned in the palace. It is said that Prince Yong's son Xiao Yi saw his father and his conspirators doing dirty things, and in anger he drew his sword against them, but was killed by the conspirator with a hidden weapon."

The funeral was held just a few days ago, and it was so deserted that no one came to pay their respects.

Xie Zhuoning propped his chin up and asked thoughtfully, "Is the man who has an ambiguous relationship with Prince Yong Yi Ziyan?"

Murong Yan looked up at her in surprise, "Did the princess know this a long time ago?"

"I guessed it." Xie Zhuoning said slowly, "When Prince Yong was chasing me, I fought him once. I couldn't beat him, so I offered him conditions for cooperation. I didn't expect that when he heard that I was willing to marry Prince Yong and help him, he became very angry and wanted to kill me."

But she didn't let Yi Ziyan have an easy time either, because his eyes were blinded by her poison at that time.

So if you say that Prince Yong and Yi Ziyan had no affair, no one would believe it.

Moreover, my father had said a long time ago that Prince Yong was a crooked person. I'm afraid he had known about the character of that guy a long time ago.

Furthermore, Prince Yong is a prince of the first rank. Even after so many years since the princess passed away, he has not taken in a woman to serve him. This is very telling.

Xie Zhuoning turned around and asked again, "Sir, do you know where Yi Ziyan is now?"

If she remembered correctly, although they destroyed a base of Qianjinlou and exposed many officials including Huo Wei, they should have another list of names in their hands.

At least her uncle was not among them.

She wanted to know what secrets her uncle was hiding.
