Chapter 42: Candidates
How dare she say it!
Zhuang Chenchen's anger was reflected in her teeth.
Cen Muning frowned, feeling that her neck was about to be bitten off, but she didn't say a word.
In fact, what Zhuang Jinchen wants to know, he must be able to find out. Since it was found, there was no point in her lying. It's better to be completely confessed. "I never intended to deceive Your Highness. You must know that in your heart, don't you? ”
On the slender neck, the tooth marks are clear. Zhuang Chenchen turned to look at her face, which was a look of death. "So the only way for you to survive is to become the wife of this king, use the power of this king to climb the royal family, and take the opportunity to find out what happened to your mother back then?"
"Yes." Cen Mooning nodded hard but solemnly.
Zhuang Chenchen felt that words could no longer punish this woman, only pain.
His hand was so big, and with a slight pull, the material broke.
It was not the first time that Cen Muning was on the verge of life and death, but she really felt powerless. Sometimes, forbearance is useless. No matter how much you swallow the pain and bitterness in your stomach, you can't reduce the damage.
Since it is all death, why do you have to curl up and die, instead of dying according to your own will?
I don't know where the strength came from, Cen Mu Ning climbed on that mountain-like person.
He bit her neck, and she bit him in the chest.
"Hmm......" Zhuang Chenchen was taken aback by her radical move: "You're crazy, let go." ”
Cen Muning was like a bear that had eaten honey all the time, enjoying herself.
Originally, it was a candle night in the cave room, and the two of you fought for me, just like a competition.
I have never encountered such a difficult woman, and Zhuang Chenchen took great effort to throw her off her body. "You...... Monkeys? ”
"How did Your Highness know?" Cen Mooning smiled and met his dissatisfied gaze: "The concubine is a monkey. ”
She didn't have a soft mouth, and when she looked at it, the tooth marks were oozing blood. Cen Mu Ning was slightly embarrassed: "The concubine is inexperienced, did she bite His Highness?" ”
"How dare you ask?" Zhuang Zhenchen really regretted saving his strength. "Don't dare to come in yet, let Qingli come in, and give medicine to His Highness."
"Not good." Cen Muning grabbed his arm: "At this time, Qingli is not outside at all. ”
"What are you doing?" Zhuang Chenchen felt offended, and his face was gloomy and scary. "Stay away from His Highness."
He had already discovered his weakness, and Cen Muning deliberately leaned into his arms. "Your Highness, it is said that the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold. It's not good to waste ...... like this."
"Don't come here." Zhuang Chen's reaction was a little overly aggressive, and he slapped it out.
The back of Cen Muning's head hit the Nanmu bedpost, and there was a buzz in his head. Maybe it's also because of the recent constant injuries and too much blood, at this time, the dizziness makes her unable to sit up, and her eyes are hazy.
"Don't play dead." Zhuang Chenchen kicked her angrily: "Go and call Qingli in." ”
"Okay." As soon as she sat up, she tilted and fell down.
"You ......" Zhuang Chenchen glanced at her carefully, the light in the room was a little dim, and she couldn't see her face clearly. He called her name twice, but never responded.
Could it be that he was too strong and really knocked her out?
Zhuang Chenchen had no choice but to move to her side from this side, frowned at her palm-sized face, and said unhappily: "A woman like you who is incorruptible and shameless is not worthy of entering the palace at all." If it weren't for the mother's instructions, how would this king be willing to be used by you. ”
Cen Mooning lay there motionless, as if dead.
There was no way, Zhuang Yanchen had no choice but to press her acupoint. If he knew this, he would not send them back. So there is no one to serve now.
A pair of jade arms suddenly wrapped around Zhuang Chenchen's waist.
He was defenseless and was taken aback by her. "You are bold enough to tease this king."
"Concubine, I just want to serve Your Highness well." Cen Mu lay in his arms and didn't move. "The concubine said that as long as it is His Highness's order, she will definitely do her best to do it."
"Put away your hypocrisy." Zhuang Chenchen toyed away from her hand in disgust, frowned, and said: "Other women serve this king, and they only ask this king for mercy." And you want this king to be your sword and take revenge. ”
"That being said, it's different." Cen Mu lay on his lap and looked straight at him. "How can other women be like concubines, with a little use of their brains, they can disturb that pool of still water."
Without waiting for Zhuang Chenchen to speak, she continued. "The concubine is already a person of His Royal Highness, so she will naturally serve His Highness loyally. In this process, revenge is stained with the light of His Highness. His Royal Highness is the benefactor of the concubine, and the grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs. And ......"
She reached out and pinched Zhuang Chen's chin: "The concubine is just one of the many women around you, raising me is just a matter of throwing some broken silver for you." ”
He opened her hand, his eyes full of displeasure: "There is no woman around this king who is as slippery as you. Do you really think that this king will not kill you? ”
"Nope." Cen Mu Ning shook his head: "There are only two kinds of women in this world, and His Highness will not kill them." One is your dearest flesh and blood, and the other is a woman who can be used by you, but there is no substitute. ”
"What do you have that you can't replace?" Zhuang Chenchen had never seen such a thick-skinned woman, he couldn't get angry, and grabbed her face fiercely. "Just your face? Or do you rely on your monkey-like means to climb men? ”
"It's just that the emperor wants to use the concubine body to take your life." Cen Mooning went around in such a big circle, and finally got to the point. "I just don't know if His Highness is willing to let the concubine, a suspicious person, continue to stay by his side?"
"The incense in the candle is not burned at all." Zhuang Chenchen returned to his usual coldness: "Do you really think that your little caution is seamless?" ”
Cen Muning shook his head lightly: "The incense in the candle is the evidence that the concubine specially left for His Highness." It is precisely because of it that His Royal Highness knows that the concubine has no intention of harming her. Otherwise, there will be no trace of what must be done. When the time comes, the concubine will have a handful of snot and tears, crying that she was persecuted by the emperor, and His Royal Highness will naturally not believe in the concubine, and there will inevitably be a gap between you and me. Therefore, that medicine is His Highness's peace of mind pill. The concubine can be coerced, and even die, but there will never be a benefactor who pulls him out of the dead end. ”
The mouth is sweet. Zhuang Chenchen said disdainfully: "This king has wanted your life several times, and he has become your benefactor." ”
"That'...... Please ask Your Highness to be your concubine and your slave. Cen Muning said in a tactful tone: "You don't have to promise the slave and maid gold and silver and the future, as long as the slave and maid finally solve their doubts, it is a great gift." ”
"The grasshopper shakes the tree, and it is beyond its strength." Zhuang Chenchen didn't understand why she was so obsessed.
"Even if it's just an ant, falling from a high castle tower, it can survive." Cen Muning's tears fell as soon as she said it: "Father doubts...... I'm not biological. was originally a noble prime minister's daughter, but she became a wild seed overnight. I don't want fame, I don't want glory and riches. But how can I tarnish my mother's innocence? As long as I live, I will never give up. ”
She closed her eyes, tears dripping down his knees from the corners of her eyes.
The tears with temperature actually made Zhuang Yanchen feel a trace of warmth.
Pushed her away and lay back on the pillow. How she is, he doesn't want to care. But if this is a move of chess, there is no reason to give up without a fight.
Over the years, the emperor has been constantly installing people by his side, and it is time to fight back.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the concubine body will definitely be the most useful chess piece in your hand." Cen Mooning covered the quilt for him.
After passing this level, how can you win the emperor's trust?
It's not so easy to get by.
Zhuang Chenchen didn't get up until noon, when she was still asleep.
Qingli greeted the door with a smile and said in a low voice: "Master, lunch is ready." It's all delicious food that you and the princess love to eat. ”
"Let her sleep." Zhuang Chenchen didn't linger and went straight back to the inner courtyard.
"Master, what you ordered, your subordinates have found some eyebrows." Yin Li followed him into the study, and after making sure that there was no one outside the door, he said in a low voice: "Actually, I am afraid that the things of the year involved the secrets of the palace. It is said that after leaving the palace, the prime minister's wife met a thief, and was abused and hacked to death with a knife, until the people of the prime minister's mansion found her body, but they could not find the missing right arm. But in fact, there are rumors that she was given death by the master in the palace. It was only because of the prime minister's face that the body was removed again. The corroboration was that where the body was found, there was only a small amount of blood. ”
At that time, Zhuang Jizhou had not yet ascended the throne. The imperial power is still in the hands of his father. Zhuang Chenchen looked slightly: "You can ask those who are hiding in the depths of the palace for news." This king wants to know whose hand she has lost. ”
After a little hesitation, Yin Li still spoke: "Actually, the master can ask the concubine about the affairs of the year. The concubine has always been deeply favored by the emperor, and she must know these things. ”
"Since it is a secret matter in the palace, whether it is the queen mother or the mother concubine, there will only be the same set of rhetoric." Zhuang Yanchen remembered her mother's attitude towards Cen Muning, and couldn't help but worry: "Maybe the queen mother and the mother concubine are involved." That's why I want her to die. ”
"If it's true, then ......" Yin Li's eyes suddenly showed a look of determination: "It's better to settle this matter earlier." ”
"How?" Zhuang Chenchen glanced at him.
"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer from future troubles." Yin Li's words are categorical.
"Wouldn't that be a missed move?" Zhuang Chenchen knocked on the table, thinking of the eccentric and indomitable woman. "Yin Li, it's a shame that you've been with this king for so long, and you haven't even seen it."
Yin Li couldn't help but wonder: "The subordinates are stupid, and I ask the master to make it clear." ”
"She entered the palace, and she was able to enter the palace to get close to the emperor, how do you know that it is not the bureau of this king?" The corners of Zhuang Chenchen's lips rose slightly: "The queen mother has been forced to get married, and all the ladies in the city are on that booklet." She is the most suitable person. ”
