Chapter 492: The bell must be tied to the bell
Although Xiao Mingde is insidious and cunning, he is a pampered son after all, and Princess Jinyang only stabbed him twice, and he was already screaming again and again.
Shen Yunwan asked Qing Yu to sprinkle Xiao Mingde with the medicine powder to stop bleeding, which made Xiao Mingde see a glimmer of hope.
"Crown Princess, as long as you let me go, I will persuade my father to take refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"Bold, you dare to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to form a party for personal gain, do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes?" Shen Yunwan said sharply.
Xiao Mingde's mind went blank for a moment.
He was obviously surrendering to His Royal Highness the Prince, but the princess not only didn't appreciate it, but also shouted and killed herself, and then thought that Princess Jinyang was next to her, Xiao Mingde thought he understood.
"Crown Princess, can you take a step to speak?"
"Xiao Mingde, what this palace hates the most is the grass on the wall, since you have long been secretly communicating with King Jing, and today you want to change the court, like you, a slave with a second surname, this palace doesn't dare to use it!"
Xiao Mingde's gaze was a little more gloomy.
King Jing has always treated himself with courtesy, and he has always been a brother, and the crown princess dared to compare herself to a slave!
Shen Yunwan has been paying attention to the change in Xiao Mingde's expression.
She knew she had guessed right.
"As long as you confess to the behind-the-scenes instructions, this palace can open up the net......"
As soon as Shen Yunwan's words fell, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Qiyu Crown Princess Niangniang, Lord Wen asks to see you."
Wen Sijiu, what is he doing at this time?
Shen Yunwan frowned: "Let Lord Wen go to the study in the front yard first, and the palace will arrive later." β
However, Wen Sijiu didn't give Shen Yunwan a chance at all.
He forced his way all the way to the backyard.
Hearing the sound of swords clashing, Shen Yunwan could only temporarily give up interrogating Xiao Mingde and come forward to preside over the overall situation.
"Stop!"
Shen Yunwan looked at the confrontation between Meng Chi and Wen Sijiu, and hurriedly stopped.
When Meng Chi heard this, he immediately retreated behind Shen Yunxuan.
"Put the guys away." Wen Sijiu lazily commanded.
"Master Wen is here, I don't know what you are doing?"
Shen Yunwan's eyes were cold, the night before in the Red Sleeve Pavilion, the two of them had cooperated, but now they were on opposite sides of each other.
"Tell the crown princess Niangniang, and the last general will be ordered by His Majesty to escort Princess Jinyang back to the palace." Wen Sijiu swept away Fang Cai's laziness and said without being humble or arrogant.
"Lord Wen, you tell your father on behalf of the palace, and the palace will stay here for a few more days."
Princess Jinyang pushed the door out and stood beside Shen Yunxuan.
"Your Royal Highness, this is a holy order. Please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess not to embarrass the last general. Wen Sijiu lowered his eyes slightly, looking respectful.
Princess Jinyang spotted the two grandmothers behind him with sharp eyes, and a sneer immediately bloomed at the corner of her mouth.
It seems that if you refuse to give in, the other party will use force.
Princess Jinyang can always be favored because she knows when to be willful and when to be obedient.
"Since Lord Wen said so, this palace won't embarrass you."
Princess Jinyang said lightly.
After she finished speaking, she hid the coldness in her eyes, and turned her gaze to Shen Yunwan: "Imperial sister-in-law, I will go back to the palace first, if there is any news from the imperial sister-in-law, send someone to tell me." β
Shen Yun shook his head.
"Go back and recuperate, and in another month, it will be the day you go out, and at that time, the door of the Prince's Mansion will be open to you at any time."
Princess Jinyang pursed her lips and smiled, and the displeasure in her eyes dissipated. The imperial sister-in-law is right, after she opens the mansion, her father will no longer be able to control herself.
"Master Wen, let's go." Princess Jinyang's expression was pale.
"Your Royal Highness the princess, wait a minute, the last general will still have the emperor's order."
Wen Sijiu didn't move.
Shen Yunwan narrowed her eyes.
Without Wen Sijiu to speak, she had already guessed the other party's intention. It's really not good!
Sure enough, I only heard Wen Sijiu say: "The last general will be ordered by His Majesty to interrogate Xiao Mingde, and ask the crown princess to make it convenient." β
"Master Wen, what do you mean by that? Where is the will of the father, and you will not fake the holy decree, right? β
Princess Jinyang asked aggressively.
She knew very well in her heart that if Xiao Mingde was in the hands of the imperial sister-in-law, she would bite Xiao Junyan out sooner or later; Once it falls into the hands of his father, his father will only abandon the car to protect the handsome!
But why!
He has suffered such a big grievance, but Xiao Junyan has nothing to do!
The father is too partial.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, although the last general does not have a holy will, he has a decree from His Majesty. Even if the last general borrowed courage from the sky, he would not dare to forge the jade seal. β
Wen Sijiu took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve and presented it to Shen Yunwan with both hands: "Please take a look at the crown princess." β
Shen Yunwan didn't reach out to pick it up.
Seeing this, Wen Sijiu raised his eyebrows, thinking that the crown princess was going to resist and disobey.
However, the next moment, Shen Yunwan instructed Meng Chi: "Go and loosen Xiao Mingde's ties and hand it over to Master Wen." β
"Imperial sister-in-law......" Princess Jinyang bit her lip again and again.
"Jinyang, His Royal Highness is far away in the northwest, and the palace can't make trouble for him."
If he resisted the decree because of this, and made the emperor angry with Xiao Yeheng, he would be attacked by the enemy.
This is by no means what Shen Yunwan wants to see.
As long as Xiao Yeheng can return safely, it is said that Xiao Mingde is the person the emperor asked Wen Sijiu to take away today, and Shen Yunwan will not resist the decree.
"Imperial sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm naΓ―ve." Princess Jinyang knew that she was a strong man.
"Jinyang, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. The more critical the moment, the more we must guard against arrogance and rashness, and slowly figure it out. β
Shen Yunwan mentioned a sentence to Princess Jinyang.
A hint of darkness flashed in Wen Sijiu's eyes, this princess is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go.
This skill of judging the situation is not inferior to those old foxes in the court.
"I have memorized the teachings of the imperial sister-in-law."
Princess Jinyang suppressed her heart and tried to calm down.
The imperial sister-in-law said well, if you fight hard with your father, there is no benefit except for annoying your father.
At this time, he should show weakness the most, just go to his father and cry.
If it weren't for the imperial sister-in-law's reminder, he would have almost been carried away by anger.
β¦β¦
After Wen Sijiu left, Shen Yunwan immediately instructed Meng Chi: "You think of a way to meet Xue Yuanbi." Although Xiao Mingde is very likely to be imprisoned, Xue Yuanbi must have a way to operate in the Criminal Department for so long. β
"Crown princess, my subordinates will do it."
Meng Chi bowed to Shen Yunwan and left quickly.
β¦β¦
King An's Mansion is still shrouded in a gloomy mist at this moment.
King An is going to be worried about Xiao Mingde, a rebel.
"You say, the second child has always been very close to King Jing?"
Xiao Mingde's personal servant was beaten to pieces by the guards of King An's Mansion.
If it weren't for the fact that others had already taken in more air and had less gas out, King An would have been eager to make up for another heartwarming foot.
"Why don't you come and tell this king about such an important matter! You guys are so darling! β
King An is now eager to beat all these minions to death.
At this moment, a woman who looked to be in her thirties spoke a few words in Princess An's ear.
Princess An's face changed dramatically in an instant, and ten pointed nails were sunk in the palm of her hand, so hard that they almost broke.
"Lord Wang, something happened to the Green Tea Villa under the name of the second child."
"Green Tea Villa?" There are too many industries in King An's Mansion, and King An can't remember where Green Tea Villa is for a while.
(
However, Princess An has always regarded the prince family as an opponent, and Xiao Mingde and Xiao Huanting are under the surveillance of Princess An.
But I couldn't imagine that Princess An was so bold when she killed Princess An!
"Don't hide it from the prince, Mingde's expenses are too big, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver taken from the public account every year, and this year is less than half a year, he spent 50,000 taels of silver. I was going to tell you about this matter, but the prince later filled in the gap of 40,000 taels and told me not to do much, so I ......"
Princess An bit her lip: "That's why I didn't tell you." β
"It cost 50,000 taels in half a year? Even if he covers the top cards in the entire capital, he won't need so much. β
This huge number made King An's heart tremble.
For some reason, there was always a bad omen in his heart.
"The concubine is also the same as the prince, and she suspects that the second child has caused some trouble outside, so she has been sending people to keep an eye on the second child's whereabouts. The concubine's companion noticed that the steward of Green Tea Villa did not come out to buy today, so he found an excuse to knock on the door, but he didn't expect that the people of Green Tea Villa went to the empty building, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air. β
"The concubine's companion was startled, and was just about to go back to Beijing to tell the concubine, but found that a team of officials came and burned the Green Tea Villa to the ground......"
"Son!" King An almost blew his lungs in anger and slapped his eldest son mercilessly.
"You don't even know what trouble the second child has caused outside, so you dare to hide it for him, he is trying to break the sky!"
The prince of King An was beaten by King An.
He endured the sharp pain on his face and said: "The situation is unknown now, maybe we are thinking too much, father, mother is alarmist......"
Before King An's words fell, he was kicked by King An, who couldn't bear it.
King An was especially unrelieved of his hatred, and ordered the guards on the side: "Take down the prince for this king, thirty sticks, not one stick is missing, and give this king a heavy beating!" β
The eldest son is already thirty, and King An does not expect to be able to teach this son well.
The youngest son is still in the national prison, and when his life is at stake, the only person King An can negotiate with is Princess An.
He first gave Princess An a reassurance: "The eldest and second are such bastards, you are right to guard against them." Xiuyin, it's this king who is sorry for you, and you have suffered a lot of grievances in the past......"
Princess An's eyes were hot, after so many years, her grievances were finally seen by King An.
"Lord Wang, the bell must be tied to the bell. I'm going to ask to see the princess. Speaking of which, I have dealt with the crown princess a few times, and the crown princess is above board, and she will not deliberately target our house because you did not take refuge in the prince. β
"Go ahead." King An exhaled heavily.
There's no better way to do it right now.
β¦β¦
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Shen Yunwan heard that Jiang Xiuyin, the step-concubine of Prince An, asked to see her, but did not turn her away like he did with Mrs. Shizi, but asked Princess An to be invited into the flower hall.
"The concubine body is the crown princess."
Shen Yunwan didn't wait for Princess An to finish her salute, and personally went over to help: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, they are all a family, why bother to see each other like this." β
"Qingyu, serve tea to the uncle."
"Crown Princess, the concubine is here to beg you for help." Princess An did not get up, but fell to her knees.
"Uncle, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it. Auntie is like this, how can we talk well? Shen Yunwan raised his eyebrows.
In the clan, except for the eldest princess of Huai'an, King An is the oldest and the most senior, and it is impossible for Shen Yunwan to deliberately lose Princess An's face.
Of course, like Mrs. Wang Shizi, who is in a hurry to find a cigarette, Shen Yunwan will never be polite.
The attitude of the crown princess made Princess An secretly relieved.
The crown princess did not get angry with King An's Mansion because of Zhang and Xiao Mingde, which is the only good news at present.
"Thank you, Princess."
Only then did Princess An stand up, she sat down under Shen Yunwan, and pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief.
"Crown Princess, is Mingde in trouble? The prince is already in a hurry in the house. β
Time was urgent, Princess An did not choose to go around in circles with Shen Yunwan, but went straight to the point.
Shen Yunwan's fingers holding the teacup paused.
She raised her gaze, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Uncle Niang's words stopped me." β
Princess An's heart was beating "poof".
She finally pressed down on the frantic heartbeat, and said, "The concubine is stupid and can't understand what you mean, so please make it clear." β
If it weren't for Wen Sijiu to take away Xiao Mingde's ring, it would be impossible for Shen Yunwan to tell the truth.
But now, she has decided to sell An Wangfu a favor.
"I think, with Uncle Niang's connections in the capital, you should know that there was an accident at the full moon banquet in the Chenjun Palace."
King An does not favor any prince in the court, even if King Chenjun has lost the qualification to compete for the throne, King An's Mansion is not polite.
Hearing the crown princess mention it at this moment, Princess An's face couldn't help but turn white.
It seems that Princess Jinyang's accident is real!
"Please rest assured, today's matter, except for our prince, will never enter anyone's ears again."
Princess An raised her finger: "If I break my oath, I will let King An's Mansion fall apart, and I, Jiang Xiuyin, will die without a place to be buried!" β
"What are you doing? My aunt and grandmother have always liked my aunt, and I believe that my aunt's vision will not go wrong. β
This is also one of the reasons why Shen Yunwan is willing to see Princess An.
"Crown Princess, your affection, I and the prince have understood it." Princess An solemnly promised, "If there is a future, I will repay it." β
"Uncle Niang's words are serious."
Shen Yunwan smiled faintly and cut straight to the point.
"I don't know how much Uncle Niang knows about the second son in the house? He raised the dead in the Green Tea Villa, and he has already obtained the stolen goods. β
"What?"
Princess An's eyes were dark, and her body was almost crooked.
She forcibly endured the feeling of dizziness, held her forehead with one hand, and asked tremblingly, "Raise the dead?" β
"Don't hide it from my uncle, this palace found that Xiao Mingde had a problem in the Red Sleeve Pavilion that day, and brought people back to the house, and the Green Tea Villa is Xiao Mingde's subordinate confession."
For this, Shen Yunwan did not hide anything, even if he didn't say it, King An had a way to find out.
"Crown Princess, I don't know what kind of bastard this rebel did to make you notice him?"
Princess Ann is very smart.
It's so dignified, how could the princess notice a gentleman!
Unless, this bastard thing messed with her.
"That's a long story."
Shen Yunwan spoke slowly.
Princess An pinched her palm hard.
She knew that some words, once spoken, could never be taken back.
Princess An stubbornly said: "I heard that Princess Jinyang disappeared with the maid in your mansion......"
Before Princess An's words fell, she felt a cold and ruthless gaze fall on her, as if it had taken away her breath in an instant, making Princess An have to stop.
"Ling Lang is indeed involved in this matter."
Shen Yunwan picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip of the tea in the cup.
"The person who conspired with him, the princess of Chenjun, is dead; As for the palace...... I think that before the uncle came, he must have interrogated Xiao Mingde's little servant, who he has been close to these days, and it is impossible for the people to know nothing. β
"Crown Princess, where is that son of a son now?"
Princess An understood the meaning of the crown princess's words.
Another person who conspired with Xiao Mingde was King Jing Xiao Junyan!
Did this idiot eat the guts of an ambitious leopard and dare to get involved in such a headless thing!
Even King An doesn't have the guts!
Shen Yunwan lifted her red lips and revealed a cold smile.
"Before Uncle Niang came, Xiao Mingde had already been taken away by Wen Sijiu, the commander of the Shence Army." As for who the person behind Wen Sijiu was, Shen Yunwan thought, even if he didn't say it, Princess An should be able to guess it.
Hearing this, Princess An's whole person was like a lightning strike!
