Chapter 66: Punishment

"It's strange to say." Cen Muning was puzzled: "At that time, the fire was fierce, and kerosene was poured on the firewood stacks. But isn't it strange that I wasn't hurt? ”

"It's because of the long cloak." Qingli said seriously: "The cloak is woven with a very special thread. That kind of thread is not easy to ignite, so you can get away with it, Princess. ”

"Not a fluke." Cen Muning remembered Cheng Jun's eyes, and seemed to understand something in her heart.

"It's not a fluke, it's that?" Qingli looked puzzled.

"It's nothing, I'm hungry, go get something to eat." With such a comparison, she felt even more uncomfortable. A person who met for the first time, forced by circumstances, did not want her to be burned to death. But Zhuang Chenchen is still too ruthless after all.

But it's good that he can use her at a time like this! It shows that she still has use value and will not die so quickly.

It's a pity that before breakfast was delivered, the menacing man appeared in front of her.

The cold light in Zhuang Chenchen's eyes still had no temperature. But the tense expression could tell the unrest in his heart.

"Yin Li." He only said these two words.

"Yes, master." Yin Li gave a light high-five, and the two of them twisted one person in.

Cen Muning was stunned for a moment: "Qingli...... Your Highness, what are you doing here? ”

"Do you remember what this king commanded before he left the palace?" Zhuang Chenchen ignored Cen Muning, and turned to look at Qingli instead.

"It's all the slave's fault, and it's all up to Your Highness." Qing Li didn't intend to quibble at all, and there was deep self-blame between his eyebrows.

Zhuang Chenchen raised his hand slightly.

The dagger in Yin Li's hand flew towards Qing Li's chest, and the speed was so fast that Cen Muning didn't even see it clearly.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Cen Muning's face turned blue with fright: "I am the one who wants to leave the house, and it was I who instigated Qingli to accompany me back to the mansion to save my relatives, which is also what you promised me at the beginning." What's more, I'm safe and sound now, and the people who kidnapped me took me away from the palace, and it has nothing to do with Qingli at all. ”

Zhuang Chenchen didn't make a sound, so the second dagger plunged into Qingli's chest again.

Cen Mooning looked at Zhuang Xianchen in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Her fault, first, she shouldn't have let you out of the house, and second, she didn't do her best to protect you." Zhuang Chenchen stiffened his face and said in a stiff tone: "If it weren't for your safety, this king would not have spent his strength to punish her." ”

"Huh." Cen Mooning laughed. "It's the concubine who forgot that His Royal Highness has always had clear rewards and punishments."

The man who was wielding the plough let go, and she fell to the ground as soon as she went limp.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Zhuang Chen's tone was still unwarm.

"The slave knows her mistake and is willing to be blamed." Qingli bit her lip and said with difficulty: "The princess doesn't have to be a slave...... Plead. Slaves and maidservants who do wrong will be punished. ”

Cen Muning gasped and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Zhuang Chenchen raised his hand slightly, signaling Yin Li to take the person down.

The door was closed, leaving only him and Cen Muning. "This king punished the green plough as an example. Don't think that because you're a princess, you don't have to be blamed. There's another time, you're like her. ”

"No." Cen Mooning smiled indifferently: "This time it can't be so easily revealed." It was I who ordered Qingli to accompany me back to the house, and because of this, I found out who assassinated my mother back then, in addition to the Guo family, and the Sui family. So it makes no sense for you to punish Qingli, in the final analysis, it was I who made her disobey your orders, Your Highness. If you indulge me lightly, will it not be fair? ”

Looking at her serious and angry appearance, Zhuang Yanchen couldn't help but hook her lips: "You just want to be punished so much?" ”

"I don't want to, does it work?" Cen Mu Ning raised his head and looked at him: "Or is it because you used me and almost killed me, so it should be regarded as a punishment?" ”

She lifted her jaw, looked at his cold face, and suddenly reached out and squeezed it hard.

Zhuang Chenchen didn't have time to hide, and was pinched by her. "What for?"

"I almost thought that Your Highness, you were carved from stone, not flesh and blood. It turns out that you will also be in pain, it seems that the concubine is wrong. Cen Mooning stretched her lips and smiled very coldly: "Since His Royal Highness is not ready to be punished, then please go back to your room and rest." The concubine's injuries are not healed, so I won't talk to you. ”

Sitting down on the wide nanmu bed, Cen Muning didn't know why she was so uncomfortable. You shouldn't have expected him in the first place.

Zhuang Chenchen walked up to her and unfastened her belt.

Cen Muning looked at him suspiciously: "Your Highness, the concubine has not prepared fragrant soup for you to bathe." ”

"Aren't you going to be punished?" Zhuang Chenchen suddenly pounced.

Cen Muning grabbed the cloak next to him and threw it on his face. "The concubine said that she is still injured, and it is inconvenient to serve His Highness."

The cloak felt a little strange, Zhuang Xianchen took a closer look, and immediately became annoyed: "You have been injured since you entered the mansion, you used to be able to serve, why can't you now?" Or is it that your energy is used against others, and when you face this king, you will become a dead fish. ”

"What?" Cen Muning didn't want to bother thinking about his words, she would feel tired like that.

Throwing away the cloak, Zhuang Chenchen locked her in the crook of his arm: "Be smart, and see if this king is smart." ”

Cen Muning really didn't have the strength to fight with him, so she simply closed her eyes. "Then please hurry up, Your Highness, I'm hungry and need lunch."

"You ......" Zhuang Chenchen was so angry by her attitude that he couldn't find the words to refute for a while.

He looked at her curled eyelashes, frowning brows, and a slight trace of tiredness on her palm-sized face. These days, she must be having a hard time. He rolled up her sleeves, and sure enough, he could clearly see the marks left by the ropes.

The mother concubine is really ruthless. Almost, he was separated from her yin and yang.

"Your Highness." Cen Muning waited for a long time, but he didn't make any other moves, and opened his eyes a little impatiently. "I'm hungry."

"You know how to eat." Zhuang Chenchen strained his face: "You have offended this king, and you still want to have a good life." ”

"......" Cen Muning was annoyed enough by him, this person was really funny, that person's life was at risk, and he expected others to give him a good face. I'm hungry......"

"Yin Li." Zhuang Chenchen sat up impatiently and shouted outside the door: "What time is it, and you won't send lunch in." ”

Cen Muning really didn't say anything polite to him, every time he ate a bite of something, he treated the food as if he bit it hard to relieve his hatred. After eating it all, my stomach warmed up a lot, and my body was not so cold.

Zhuang Chenchen didn't eat much, and almost watched her eat the whole time. The food that she eats up quickly must be what she likes, and the rest of it is really not very tasty.

This woman also has a big heart, and she almost died, and if she were someone else, I am afraid that she would not be able to sleep for several days. But she recovered quickly, and at once forgot about the unhappy things.

After eating, Cen Muning thought it was time for him to go. But he just stayed here and sat motionless.

Just pretend to be asleep, and avoid his eyes. Cen Muning curled up in the corner of the bed, sleeping unsteadily like a kitten all the time.

Zhuang Chenchen sat with a sore back, pulled her hand and dragged it into his arms. "After being out of the city for so long, don't you have the slightest concern?"

"......" Cen Muning didn't say anything.

His lips pressed lightly against her cold cheeks.

"Your Highness, in two days, can you allow me to return home?" Cen Mooning hasn't let go of Sui Miao's matter yet.

"Return?" Zhuang Chenchen was displeased: "This is the place where you should stay." ”

"I still have things to deal with." Cen Muning frowned slightly: "Just one day." ”

"Look at your performance, if you satisfy the king...... Hmmm......"

Before Zhuang Chenchen's words were finished, Cen Mooning turned over and pressed on him. The strength was so great that it almost suffocated his stomach. "You take it easy, eat and eat every day, eat so much, and want to die?"

"How so?" Cen Muning said with a bright smile: "Haven't you seen Your Highness for a long time, concubine, think about it tightly." It's rare to be able to talk to His Highness so affectionately, so naturally you have to take the initiative. ”

As she spoke, her lips visibly pressed into his face.

Zhuang Chenchen pressed his palm and covered her mouth: "That's it, if you want to go back, go back." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Cen Muning thought to herself, if she let others know that the biggest shortcoming of this decisive Ruiming King is that he will be shy, then he must not be laughed at and generous.

She turned around, turned in, and stopped looking at him.

Her breathing was even, and Zhuang Chenchen got up and covered her with a quilt. I don't know why, he would be so disgusted by his mother's attack on her. Is it just that he is afraid that his mother will disrupt his plans?

After three days of recuperation, Zhuang Chenchen asked Yin Li to send her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cen Yun knew that she was coming back, so he specially ordered someone to ask for leave from illness and wait for her in the house.

Cen Muning took He Ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion together, and when he saw Cen Yun, he sent people to him. "The relationship between time, my daughter will not repeat it one by one. Concisely and concisely explained to his father the events of the day, Guo and Sui manipulated their mother's spices and decoctions. caused her mother to be poisoned, which triggered her misunderstanding with others. As for why that person appeared in his mother's room at that time, it was also carefully arranged by the Sui family, if his father didn't believe it, he could ask this minion. ”

For a long time, Cen Yun didn't speak.

Cen Mu Ning saw that he was indifferent, and sneered: "Father and mother are married couples, for so many years, you have supported each other, and you have come over after bumping into each other, how can you be so easily deceived by such a trick?" ”

"Don't talk about it." Cen Yun's cold voice was not too loud, but it was full of strong dissatisfaction. "You're married, and it's none of your business here."

"Hmph. If it's your business, it's not my business. But when it comes to my mother, it's my business. Cen Muning gritted her teeth and said: "I don't care what your intentions are for your mother, in short, if the Sui family does it, you have to take responsibility." You want to appease the adulterer, but I won't agree. ”
