Chapter 258 He Must Confer the Title of King on Zhao Mu
The officials of Beihai Prefecture, led by Nie Rang, all dropped their responsibilities and acted as if they were forced to do so because of the oppression of Chen Ning.
The seals were thrown onto the table, and the group stood up with a haughty look on their faces, ready to leave… However, just as they reached the door, there were a few loud bangs, and they were kicked to their knees one by one.
February and May kicked everyone down in an instant, stepping on them so that they faced Chen Ning.
Shen Ning slowly put down the teacup: "You're throwing things around in front of this princess...Isn't that giving you face?"
"You..." Nie Rang was stepped on on the back, and he was seething with anger. "Princess Yong'an, you are just using Prince Ding's power to bully others. Don't go too far!"
Shen Ning sneered: "Bullying others with your power? How dare a rubbish like you say such righteous words."
She watched Qiyue smile as she put away the seals and said, "I will have someone write your resignation letters and send them along with the seals to the capital."
Chen Ning smiled and said, "Several adults, please take a good look at this. Even if I don't rely on the power of others, I will not be able to deal with you bunch of bastards."
She waved her hand: "Throw them all out."
Fighting and falling in front of her is really giving her face...
Nie Rang and others were thrown out of the Princess' Mansion and directly onto the street. Zhang Duo, who was good at martial arts, wanted to resist, but ended up getting hit two more times than others, and then he covered his stomach and remained silent.
The group walked towards their carriages, covered in dust and dirt, all gritting their teeth.
"Master Nie, we must not let this matter rest!"
"Yes, we will never let this great humiliation go!"
Nie Rang gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "She's so complacent now, so what? The construction of Liaodong Pass can't be delayed. When the time comes in a few days, if her good brother still can't buy the materials and get the glutinous rice glue, then I'll see how she'll beg us!"
"That's right, that's right. Let them take the blame."
"Exactly. We'll stay in the mansion these days to 'recover' and see what extraordinary abilities that idiotic princess has to resolve this matter."
"Indeed, the Second Prince is currently at Liaodong Pass, and the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Chen Nian, is also stationed there. If the construction of Liaodong Pass's defenses is delayed, I will report this to the Second Prince and Lord Chen!"
As they spoke, they changed from being covered in dust and dirt to being arrogant, as if they had just won a great victory, and then they each got on their carriages and left.
The events of Beihai Prefecture soon reached the ears of the Second Prince.
After hearing the secret guard's report, the Second Prince's secretary, who was grinding ink beside him, frowned. "What should we do now? Those corrupt officials are hiding the glutinous rice and won't give it to us. How can Shen Qingbai repair the city wall on schedule? Isn't delaying the deadline a capital crime?"
Beside him, Yan Nu sneered: "You seem to be quite concerned about Shen Qingbai."
The secretary's face flushed red, and then she saw the second prince also looking at her sideways.
The secretary didn't dare to hide anything and carefully explained the whole story: "Before I left the capital, the Tenth Princess asked me to keep an eye on Shen Qingbai. If anything urgent happens, I ask...I ask Your Highness to protect Shen Qingbai and Princess Yong'an."
Since this matter concerned the princess, Yan Nu didn't dare to say anything more, and instead turned the conversation to Chen Ning: "It was Princess Yong'an who was so self-righteous. She just arrived and used chicken feathers as a token to make enemies with those local tyrants. She didn't expect that without the support of those people, she and her good brother would not be able to move forward."
Yan Nu inexplicably loathed the Princess Yong'an, and therefore, was happy to see her suffer misfortune: "If she misses the deadline and gets punished in a few days, her good brother will just have to wait and see his head."
Yan Nu's words were full of gloating, and Shi Shu suddenly became anxious: "But it was obviously those dog officials who did the bad things, how can you blame Master Shen?"
Yan Nu curled his lips: "Who told them not to behave like human beings..."
After saying this, Yan Nu looked at Xiao Nanrong cautiously again and pouted, "This time, I'm not talking nonsense. This incident was indeed caused by the siblings themselves."
Xiao Nanyong glanced at her, shook his head, and wrote a line of words with a pen: Those people want the financial power of Beihai Prefecture. No matter how much Princess Yong'an compromises and gives in, it will be useless. This is an unsolvable contradiction.
Xiao Nanrong could naturally think of this. After all, there was only one Beihai Prefecture, and the financial power was in the name of the princess. Those who were used to eating the oil and water were unwilling to let go, so it was naturally impossible for them to really support Chen Ning.
The city defense is a matter of great importance. If they want to drive away the Chen Ning siblings, the only thing they can do is city defense. Therefore, no matter how the Chen Ning siblings respond, even if they pretend to be submissive, those people will still do bad things.
I'm afraid Shen Ning also understood this, so she simply tore her face off and kicked those people away... Since she couldn't count on their help, she should at least not let them have the opportunity to do anything bad.
Yan Nu snorted, "Your Highness thinks Princess Yong'an is too clever."
Xiao Nanyong ignored her and asked: Where is Prince Ding?
Yan Nu immediately said, "We've already passed Black Forest City..."
Although Xiao Nanchen ran away, Diao was not idle. He had flown to Beihai Prefecture twice in the past few days, and every day he secretly exchanged letters with Chengying in the dead of night.
When His Royal Highness Prince Ding saw in the letter that Chengying said that Princess Yong'an had cursed people several times that day with words like "shameless", "shameless", and "despicable", he felt a little disappointed.
Over the past few days, the poison has gradually faded, just like a veil covering his mind has been lifted, and he has gradually returned to normal.
Thinking of how he looked a few days ago, Xiao Nanchen wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself.
He negotiated a "deal" with Shen Ning in such an arrogant manner, and even threatened to cancel the engagement... He completely forgot how the engagement came about.
If Chen Ning hadn't bothered with him, I'm afraid the engagement would have been canceled.
Xiao Nanchen knew that Shen Ning didn't blame him. In fact, he also realized that that night a few days ago... it was not him who forced her.
Shen Ning is willing.
When Xiao Nanchen thought of this, he almost couldn't help but turn around and go back to find her, but he could only suppress himself.
He knew that his good mother had sent him away far away. Not only did she want to attack him on the way, she was also likely to have some plans in the capital.
He must get back as soon as possible.
I could only resist the urge to see Chen Ning.
However, even if you don't go to see the person, you can always send a letter... After giving the letter to the golden eagle to take out, His Royal Highness Prince Ding was filled with happiness and sweetness.
Shen Ning really loves him!
Because she knew that he couldn't use his own hands when removing the poison, she tried her best to comfort him and consider him in every way... Of course, it was also his unique talent and self-taught skills that greatly pleased her, so she took advantage of him.
When he thought that Chen Ning completely belonged to him and only him, His Royal Highness Prince Ding tried hard to remain calm, but he couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
Don't blame him for being vulgar, it's really the happiness and satisfaction of having her alone that makes him almost intoxicated.
Zhao Mu's face flashed through his mind.
Xiao Nanchen thought secretly that in the future, when he... he must make Zhao Mu a king!
Yes! Everything is perfect!
Even the stubborn Chi Xiao found it much more pleasing to the eye.
"You can share the box of small yellow croakers that Mu Huali sent with them..." His Royal Highness Prince Ding said in a calm voice.
Chi Xiao's expression suddenly brightened: "Thank you, Master."
This great opportunity finally happened to him... You know, whoever took it could pocket the money. This was the rule in the past. As long as it wasn't too excessive, others couldn't do anything about it.
But in the past, this lucrative job was monopolized by Chengying, that flatterer, but today it is his turn!
He Chi Xiao is not bad either!
Compared to Chengying, that flatterer, he is less slick and more sincere... Your Highness has discovered his good points.
Just then, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded outside.
Enemy attack!
Chi Xiao threw the box of small yellow croakers onto the beam and flew away like lightning...
