Chapter 159: King Duan
"If I say it, why should I believe you?" Ning Jiao snorted lightly.
Ning Shu smiled, "So, it depends on whether my sister believes it or not." There are some things that His Highness knows, and you only need to convey them to him, and he will understand the meaning of my words. β
Only a few people knew about Lian Shangshu's bribery, and the emperor did not publicize it.
But after the four princes return to Beijing, they will definitely know about it as soon as possible.
He also knows the emperor's temperament well, how could the emperor reveal the matter of Lian Shangshu so easily?
If Ning Jiao had told the Fourth Prince Xie Yunyan that he was still tracking down Lian Shangshu at this time, although she would not have fully believed her words, they would have been like frightened birds, and they would be careful in everything.
Or, show the horse's feet.
Even if the four princes acted cautiously, as long as Ning Jiao entered the prince's mansion, it would naturally anger Lian Shangshu.
This is Ning Shu's real purpose.
"That's it, sister believes it or not, my sister can only help you here." Ning Shu saw that Ning Jiao was still hesitating, so she suddenly got up and walked out of the door.
"What is your purpose?" Ning Jiao felt that this method could be tried, and there was no substantial harm to the four princes.
It's just her effort to say one more word.
What if she really gets what she wants?
Ning Shu stood at the door, and said without looking back: "Because I know that Fujun is doing useless work, and the power of the Four Highnesses is in full swing, I just want Fujun not to continue to waste his efforts." β
"Besidesβ" She glanced back at Ning Jiao faintly, "Your surname is always Ning, isn't it?" Could it be that if you marry the prince's mansion, you have to move to your mother's house? What's in it for you? β
Ning Shu's words woke up the person in the dream.
A prince's concubine who lacks the support of her mother's family, how can she still think about the position of the concubine?
Ning Shu glanced at Ning Jiao meaningfully before leaving, and saw that she was contemplating, with a little contempt in her deep eyes, and did not tell her about her Gu.
After she left, Ning Jiao sat alone in the room and pondered for a long time.
finally figured out the meaning of Ning Shu's words.
That's right!
The deal between her and the four princes was based on Ning Zhengjie's handle as a bargaining chip.
The chips were handed over, and Ning Zhengjie also fell.
The fourth prince has no affection for her, could it be that because she grabbed Ning Zhengjie's handle for him, let her be the concubine?
This statement even she herself finds ridiculous.
With a look in her eyes, Ning Jiao had already made a decision.
β¦β¦
The next day, the gates of the city were wide open, and the people greeted them in the streets.
The fourth prince rode the treasure horse in high spirits, and carried a human head wrapped in coarse cloth in his hand.
Everywhere he passed, there was cheering.
Ning Jiao had booked a box with an excellent view in the Star Picking Building early, and since the fourth prince had just appeared on the street, she stood in front of the window and leaned out half of her body.
At this moment, her brain was surprisingly calm.
Although her eyes were all the tall figures of the four princes, she was thinking in her heart, why was she in a hurry to marry the four princes?
Is it like?
The corners of her lips hooked coldly, obviously not.
She only wanted a noble identity, wanted to get rid of the shackles of her concubine, and wanted Ning Shu and all the women who stood behind Lian Yuyao that day to bow their heads deeply when they saw her in the future!
Her love has long withered like autumn leaves.
No one knows how fascinated the dark figure of the Zhilan Yushu in the depths of her heart, holding a folding fan in her hand, and the light smile on the corner of her lips.
It was as if all the darkness in the world would dissipate with one of his smiles.
It was that smile that made her lose herself in an instant, making her think that the world was so beautiful.
It's just that this beauty hasn't had time to bloom in her heart, and it belongs to someone else.
It was Ning Shu, Ning Shu took away the most precious treasure that originally belonged to her!
If the Ning family does not have Ning Shu, then with Xie Yunyan's care for the Ning family, she should be the one who is married to Xie Yunshen now!
Unconsciously, the figure of the fourth prince had already walked to the door of the Star Picking Tower, Ning Jiao Mune's eyes had been fixed on him, and just when he crossed the Star Picking Tower, a tear fell unconsciously.
Tiny tears fell slowly, and after a few turns in the air with the slight autumn wind, they fell impartially on the tip of the nose of the fourth prince.
His eyelids blinked slightly, and he glanced indifferently at the Star Picking Tower beside him, as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk in the direction of the palace.
Ning Jiao followed his direction and looked at the palace in the distance, her hands clenched into fists, and the decision in her heart became even firmer.
Since you can't marry the love of your life, then try to be the emperor of all phoenixes!
When the emperor saw the human head brought by the four princes, a boulder that had been hanging in his chest for many years finally landed.
The Qi State has long become a behemoth in the eyes of the surrounding six countries.
Although external troubles are not to be worried, internal worries have always existed.
As early as when the emperor ascended the throne, he had the idea of taking down the king of Xun, but he was unknown.
This time, by quelling the rebellion and asking the king, he also took down hundreds of officials who were dormant in the court in one fell swoop, and the emperor Longyan Dayue canonized the four princes as the king of Duan on the spot, and canonized Lin Shuanghe, the main general who led the troops to repel the soldiers and horses of the king, as the general of Rongma.
Married his daughter Lin Ke, the concubine of the third prince!
Li Shiqing got up from the chair and said respectfully, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Duan." β
Duan Wang took off the helmet on his head and threw it on the table casually, his tone indignant.
"This king has won a throne, but the third has a new general! What's the joy? β
Li Shiqing smiled faintly, "But there is still an essential difference between the prince and the third highness. The prince is promoted step by step, and it should be just around the corner from entering the East Palace. β
"Donggong-" Unfastened the armor on his body, and his tone was quiet, "If Donggong can be so easily informed, then the king will not be tossed to this day." β
As he spoke, he took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Li Shiqing, and asked, "What does Miss Li think of this king?" β
Li Shiqing has been staying in the Prince's Mansion and knows nothing about what is happening in the outside world.
When he saw the contents of the letter, his eyes flickered slightly.
"Is that so?"
The first letter was transferred to King Duan by Lian Shangshu, and what was written on the letter was naturally that the emperor knew about the bribery.
And the second letter was given to him by Ning Jiaotuo.
The vagueness on the letter, although I couldn't understand what was said, but combined with Lian Shangshu's first letter, it was not difficult for Duan Wang and Li Shiqing to guess that Xie Yunyan should be secretly continuing to investigate Lian Shangshu.
In other words, the others who continue to track down Duan Wang Yi have no unknown secrets.
King Duan pinched his eyebrows angrily, "With the methods of my father and Xie Yunyan's style of doing things, what Miss Ning said is naturally true." β
If it was all ordinary things such as Lian Shangshu taking bribes, King Duan would still be sure to maneuver in front of the emperor.
I'm afraid that Xie Yun will find out about that incident!
Then I'm afraid he really can't go back.
