The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 449 Thorough investigation of the truth (three more)

King Ning didn't say anything, the emperor had to ask someone to go to the East Palace to call the prince.

The prince woke up shortly after Gu Jiao left, he didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the ceiling.

"It's you, right? You're really back...you're back to find me."

"Why don't you talk? Are you mad at me?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"...I just realized that the person in my heart has always been you, and I regret not being able to marry you."

"Don't like others, don't like her, she is not worthy of you."

"It's nice of you to look at you like this, don't ever leave me again."

"Let's never be separated again, okay? Let's live a good life in the future, okay?"

The prince wanted to remove Wen Linlang's voice from his mind, but found that he couldn't do it no matter what.

Those words echoed in his mind over and over again, like a knife piercing his heart into a sieve.

The princess knelt beside the bed, leaning her arms on the edge of the bed and looking at him.

If this posture is done when the feelings are strong, it is very intimate and intimate, but at this moment, it is a manifestation of her lowering her posture.

Since she married the prince, she has been cared for all the time. The prince has never wronged her. He will worry about whether the ground is cold, whether her knees are tired, whether her arms are sore...

Right now, she has been kneeling and lying on the bedside for half an hour, and the prince has not said a word.

"Your Highness." She finally couldn't help but speak, she held his cold and numb hand, and said pleadingly, "Believe me, I was framed by someone, it was Gu Jiao, she drugged me... That's why I'm talking nonsense."

In this relationship between her and the prince, it seems that the prince is respected, but in fact, the initiative has always been in her hands. The prince listens to her very much, and can always be easily coaxed by her.

However, the prince did not respond in time this time.

He was like a puppet whose soul had been drained, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Your Highness..." The Crown Princess raised her hand to caress his cheek. He always used to hold her hand and put it on his face, calling her Lin Lang with a smile.

Some things are thought to be never lost in a lifetime.

Lost and thought it would be easy to get back.

From the bottom of her heart, the princess couldn't believe the fact that the prince no longer paid attention to her.

"Your Highness." She held the prince's hand again,

Said to the prince, "The concubine was really drugged. The concubine went to buy some snacks for His Highness. Do you still remember Qinghezhai? Your highness likes Qinghezhai's desserts the most, especially the lotus crisps there... ..."

In fact, the crown prince didn't like lotus crisps. He ate lotus crisps when he met Wen Linlang for the first time. This dessert entered his heart together with her people.

From the age of thirteen to the present, for ten years, he has changed from a simple liking in his youth to a deep love later on. The only thing that remains the same is that this person is always in his heart, and it occupies more and more weight.

The prince once felt that even if Wen Linlang wanted his life, he would still give it to him.

From the first day he married her, he could actually feel that she didn't love him, so he was often worried about gains and losses, but he never gave up. He firmly believed that as long as he treated her well, one day she would give her heart to him.

But unexpectedly, she handed it over to King Ning, but not him!

The princess choked up and said: "Your Highness, you believe me, I was really drugged! I don't even know what I'm talking about... We grew up together, don't you understand what kind of temperament I am?"

Yeah, grew up together, so know it all too well.

Clever and strategic, if he hadn't deliberately indulged him, how could he have allowed King Ning to get close to him?

What chilled the prince was not her sincere words, those words could indeed be said to have been drugged or something, but King Ning held her hand and said gently that he would take care of the aftermath, that was what really put him to death. The heart was stabbed with a knife!

"Is Your Highness suspicious of the concubine and King Ning? Yes, the concubine and the king of Ning did have some contacts, but the concubine was forced...the concubine has no support from her mother's family, has no power and power, and can rely on What he wanted was nothing more than His Highness's love, but he actually used His Highness to blackmail his concubines..." The princess's tears fell down, hitting the cold back of the prince's hands one by one, "He said he would kill His Highness, kill his concubine..." Concubine..."

The crown prince's throat slid, and finally he said weakly: "In your heart, is it Ah Heng... or King Ning?"

The princess froze suddenly.

Eunuch Wei came to the East Palace to summon the crown prince, the crown prince turned over and said, "I don't want to see anyone."

The always weak prince had the guts to disobey the emperor's will after being injured. Eunuch Wei didn't know whether to be happy for the prince or unhappy.

Kunning Palace and Yongshou Palace couldn't hide the fact that such a big event happened. Empress Xiao was worried about her son, so she came to the East Palace first.

Empress Xiao said: "Eunuch Wei, please tell Your Majesty that the Crown Prince is too seriously injured to get out of bed. I will ask Prince Ming later and I will go to Huaqing Palace to explain the situation to Your Majesty in person."

That's all there is to it.

Eunuch Wei looked regretfully at the prince who seemed to have been drained of his soul, sighed secretly, and returned to Huaqing Palace.

Empress Xiao tucked the quilt up for the prince, and the prince probably didn't want his embarrassment to be bumped into by Empress Xiao. He felt very ashamed, sad and wronged.

He kept facing inward, burying his head tightly.

"Mother, son..." The princess was about to speak, but Empress Xiao raised her hand to signal her not to speak.

Empress Xiao went to the study room of the East Palace, and said seriously: "Bring the palace servants around the prince and concubine here!"

Chunying and the other eight palace servants were brought over, and they knelt down on the ground.

Empress Xiao didn't ask anything, the first sentence was: "Use punishment!"

Eunuch Su raised his whisk, went to get the sticks, together with a few nuns and eunuchs from Kunning Palace, put eight people on the sticks together.

Among the eight people, Chunying was the biggest insider. Although the rest of them didn't participate in anything, as long as people did something, they would inevitably leave clues. They pieced together a lot of information.

For example, the princess often goes out of the palace alone.

For another example, when the prince heard that the princess was missing today, it was Chunying who reported it.

Empress Xiao's eyes fell on Chunying's face coldly, Chunying trembled, and her whole body lay on the ground trembling: "Emperor, empress..."

Empress Xiao has a lot of ways to pry open the mouth of a court lady, how can the daughter of the Xiao family really be a good person, just look at Xuan Pinghou and you will know, that guy's intestines are all black, so where can his sister be for nothing?

Empress Xiao gave Eunuch Su a look, Eunuch Su understood and dragged Chunying down.

In the hands of Eunuch Su, Chunying did not last for a quarter of an hour before she made all the moves.

The crown princess and Ning Wang have a head and tail.

Chunying was bought by King Ning.

What happened this time was done by Chen Guojiao, and Chunying was bought by Chen Guojiao again.

Chunying's original words were not so clear and neat, she was so frightened that she was frightened crazy, and all kinds of incoherent speech, but Su Gonggong has worked beside the queen for so many years, can he have no skills?

Let him refine all the key points that should be refined.

Empress Xiao said: "So, what happened this time was designed by Chen Guozhi, but is the relationship between the Crown Princess and King Ning true?"

Eunuch Su gave a thumbs up secretly. As expected of a queen, he summed it up more brilliantly than him!

Empress Xiao's gaze was cold, but she did not lose her mind due to anger, she was still a dignified and elegant queen of a country.

She asked calmly: "I'm thinking, why did Chen Guozheng do this? What good does it do him?"

Does exposing the scandal of the royal family embarrass the royal family?

too easy.

It's not surprising for ordinary people to do this, but Yuan Tang is the prince of the Chen Kingdom, so what he wants is definitely not more than humiliating the royal family.

Even in the long run, pretending to be ignorant, allowing King Ning to grow stronger, and allowing King Ning to continue to maintain the relationship with the Crown Princess is what really pushed the royal family of Zhao Kingdom into trouble.

"Like revenge, does King Ning have any grudges against him?" Empress Xiao caught the point immediately, "Go and invite the sixth prince of Chen Guo to the East Palace."

Eunuch Su: "Yes!"

Yuan Tang came very quickly.

He met Empress Xiao on the seat in the flower hall where he received guests.

Xuanping Hougui is the number one beauty in Zhao Kingdom... Uh no, beautiful boy, his own sister's appearance is naturally not bad.

But in all fairness, Empress Xiao is still two points inferior to his brother's beauty.

So why is a man so good-looking?

Yuan Tang touched the folding fan, cupped his hands at Empress Xiao, and said with a smile, "Yuan Tang has met Empress Xiao."

Empress Xiao looked at Yuantang indifferently: "There is no need for Xuli, you have planned so many things, isn't it just to be able to see this palace? You have enmity with King Ning, and this palace also wants to get rid of King Ning, what's the matter?" Say it, just say it.”

"Well..." Yuan Tang touched the bridge of his nose, smiled, and said, "You are so outspoken that Yuan Tang doesn't know how to speak. In fact, it's nothing special. The relationship was broken by Princess Rui and one of her friends. King Ning wanted to kill me and take the blame. I almost died in the hands of his assassin. In front of the Crown Prince and His Majesty. I have no intention of being an enemy of Empress Xiao, if I offend you, I ask Empress Xiao to forgive me."

He resolutely did not mention Gu Jiao's participation in the whole incident, and even called Gu Jiao unfamiliar to "a friend of Princess Rui". Naturally, he did not mention Liu Yisheng's severed finger.

Empress Xiao looked at him calmly and said: "Whether your words are true, I will investigate."

Yuan Tang smiled: "Empress Xiao please go ahead."

Yuan Tang was not afraid that she would investigate, but he was afraid that she would not.

"Queen." After Yuan Tang left, Eunuch Su asked her to show her in a low voice.

The matter between Wen Linlang and King Ning had a great impact on Empress Xiao. Her face was calm, but her heart had already stirred up turbulent waves.

It's just that her elder brother taught her not to panic when things happen. She is Xiao Ji's younger sister, and she is stronger than most women.

Empress Xiao closed her eyes, let out a long breath, and said, "Princess Xuanrui."

I caught a cold, my head was a mess, and it was very difficult to code.

Seeing that if there is no update, there will be no monthly pass, I think I still have to say something.

There are a lot of things at home this month. In the first few days before the explosion, I only slept for four or five hours a day, and squeezed out some time to code.

Under the pressure of the task of updating 8,000 words per day assigned by the editor, I exploded and changed the saved manuscript.

I thought I was coming from Iron Man, but I had a fever the next day after the update.

Saving manuscripts really hurts the body, and it takes all kinds of overdrawn physical and mental strength to stay up late.

Some readers may not know much about it, and regard explosive updates as a normal state, or a state that the author can easily take out.

no.

The price is high.

I don't want to go fishing.

This is my favorite story, we have a long flow, I write slowly, everyone read slowly.
