The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 454: The Truth (Part 2)

The Dragon Shadow Guard would not attack someone who did not understand martial arts, but Long Yi... was a false Dragon Shadow Guard who broke in.

In other words, he will not abide by the rules set by the late emperor for the Dragon Shadow Guard.

This scene was really shocking, the entire imperial garden didn't even dare to squeak!

At this time in the imperial study room, the emperor did not know about the drastic changes in the imperial garden, so he explained what King Ning had done to Princess Xinyang.

The emperor also murmured why the word confession was used.

It's my younger sister, not my older sister, so I'll love him to death!

In the end, the emperor blamed his son for killing Princess Xinyang's son, and he felt guilty and guilty.

At first, the emperor didn't mention the entanglement between King Ning and the East Palace, but only said that the fire four years ago was not an accident, it was caused by King Ning.

"How does Your Majesty know that it is King Ning?" Princess Xinyang asked.

"This..." the emperor opened his mouth and said, "I have interrogated his subordinates, and his subordinates confessed to framing Ah Heng."

Princess Xinyang asked suspiciously: "Why does Your Majesty go to investigate Prince Ning?"

Wasn't it because King Ning had an entanglement with the East Palace and almost killed the crown prince, and he found out what King Ning was thinking about Wen Linlang by following the clues, and found out what happened four years ago?

No, why is your focus a bit crooked?

A trace of resentment flashed in the eyes of His Majesty, who did not want to expose his family ugliness.

Princess Xinyang just looked at the emperor quietly, without the slightest intention to go around and talk about it. The emperor was fascinated. Don't you care about the cause of your own son's death? Why do you care about my son's crap?

The emperor had no choice but to tell about the discovery of King Ning's murder of his brother in the inn.

Princess Xinyang was still at a loss: "Just because he wanted to kill the prince, so Your Majesty suspects that Xiao Heng was also killed by him? One person is bad, and all the bad things are his?"

Emperor: ...Really, if we don't talk about this, we can still be brothers and sisters.

No, now why don't you wonder why King Ning killed the crown prince?

Is your focus always so unpredictable?

Forget it, it's a shame to lose face, and it doesn't have much face for my son to kill his brother.

The emperor then explained the entanglement between King Ning and the princess.

Princess Xinyang snorted: "So, the two of them were caught and raped by the prince on the spot?"

Emperor: Can your focus be more biased! ! !

"Well,

So be it. " said the emperor vaguely.

Princess Xinyang was silent.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the emperor didn't know how to comfort her. He hesitated for a while, sighed and said, "I'm sorry about Ah Heng's matter, and I'm also very sad. King Ning committed an unforgivable crime. My father didn’t teach him well, I can’t absolve myself of the blame, I don’t expect you to forgive me, I just hope you don’t embarrass yourself anymore. You always thought that you didn’t take good care of Ah Heng, which caused Ah Heng to die in the fire. Now the truth is You know, someone... my son did it on purpose, it's my fault, it's King Ning's fault, not yours."

These words are from the heart of the emperor. Since Xiao Heng's death, Princess Xinyang has been devastated and even left the sad place of the capital. Although the relationship between the emperor and Princess Xinyang is not as close as that of Princess Ning'an, is it better than others? The princess's closer sister.

He hoped she wouldn't be too sad.

"Your Majesty, can I meet King Ning?" Princess Xinyang asked suddenly.

The emperor was stunned.

As the family members of the victims, the request to see the murderer seemed reasonable and reasonable, and the emperor had no reason to refuse.

"I... will depose his status as a prince, drive him out of the capital, and exile him in a place of bitter cold. If..." The emperor didn't say a word, and there was pain in his chest. This is his own son, and he raised him alone. The eldest son, who wants to give up if he wants to give up?

However, it is precisely because he has tasted the "pain of bereavement", that he can better understand the harm Princess Xinyang suffered, and he cannot say the words to ask Princess Xinyang to forgive King Ning.

Even if Princess Xinyang wants to kill King Ning with his sword, what can he say?

King Ning is only allowed to kill her son, but is she not allowed to avenge him?

The emperor's eyes were red, and he said with restraint: "I asked Eunuch Wei to take you there."

Princess Xinyang stood up, bowed to the emperor, and led by Eunuch Wei to the side hall where King Ning was imprisoned.

In the dark side hall, King Ning was disheveled and in a state of embarrassment, with a faint blue circle around the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were indifferent and dull.

"Princess, please." Eunuch Wei stood outside the door and gestured to Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang stepped inside.

Yujin followed behind her, planning to go along with her.

"You wait outside." Princess Xinyang said to Yujin.

Yujin paused: "Yes."

Yujin and Eunuch Wei waited outside.

Seeing Princess Xinyang walking towards King Ning in the corner, Eunuch Wei deliberately reminded her not to get too close, but swallowed the words again.

If King Ning is really not afraid of death, then he can hold Princess Xinyang hostage. If he did so, His Majesty would not be able to save King Ning's life when Xuan Ping Hou asked him to take the blame.

King Ning sat on the ground in a corner, with his back against the wall, a shadow shrouded his face.

He closed his eyes slightly, not knowing whether he didn't hear the footsteps of the approaching person, or he didn't care if he heard them.

Princess Xinyang stopped in front of him and looked down at King Ning: "Who are those people?"

King Ning has been locked up in Huaqing Palace for the past few days, and his body and mind are numb. He doesn't talk to anyone, and he doesn't plan to talk to another palace man who suddenly came to him for questioning.

But when he heard the familiar voice, he instinctively opened his eyes, and then he saw Princess Xinyang's ice-cold face.

Princess Xinyang's face was half bathed in sunlight and half shrouded in shadow, looking a bit cold and gloomy.

King Ning can ignore anyone, but Princess Xinyang cannot be ignored.

His gaze stayed on Princess Xinyang's face for a moment, then he lowered his eyes: "I don't understand what my aunt is saying."

"Don't understand? Well, then Auntie will tell you in detail until you understand, anyway Auntie has plenty of time." Princess Xinyang sat down on the chair opposite him and looked at him from a distance, "You really have the guts to kill Xiao Xiao?" Heng?"

King Ning smiled faintly: "It seems that my aunt knows everything. Do I have the guts not to kill them all? Auntie is here to ask the teacher for a crime? If you want to kill or cut up any aunt."

Princess Xinyang looked at him without blinking: "You killed Xiao Heng, and then what? Just for the benefit of the prince?"

King Ning said: "I originally planned to accept her as a side concubine."

Princess Xinyang sneered: "Really? Can you?"

Naturally... no.

Grandpa will not agree, and neither will the Empress Dowager Zhuang and His Majesty.

He was not like a prince, he would rather marry Wen Linlang without being a prince. Empress Xiao couldn't hold back this son, so she had to persuade her majesty and Marquis Xuan Ping to agree to the marriage.

From the very beginning, he knew that killing Xiao Heng would be useless, and Wen Linlang and him could only hide in the shadows forever.

Princess Xinyang analyzed for him: "You did have the intention to kill Xiao Heng, but because of a shameful relationship, you killed Xuan Pinghou and I's most beloved son, Qin Chuhan, it's not because your aunt underestimated you, it's because you don't have the courage. Not so stupid. Unless———"

Speaking of this, Princess Xinyang paused, and King Ning's fingers tightened.

Princess Xinyang said: "Unless you know that he is not the illegitimate son of me and Xuan Pinghou, but an illegitimate son who pretends to be a illegitimate son, or an illegitimate son who I can't wait to get rid of."

Marquis Xuan Ping had a romantic nature, so there were two concubines in his family, but that was with her consent.

As for whether there is an illegitimate child outside, she doesn't care, but Xiao Heng is the only one who traded her son's life for it.

Once she learned the truth, Xiao Heng's life and death had nothing to do with her.

And maybe Xuan Pinghou will think that she did it, so that King Ning can easily hide from this conspiracy.

"Who told you about Xiao Heng's life experience?" Princess Xinyang looked at him fixedly and asked.

King Ning didn't recover from the shock that Princess Xinyang saw through everything for a moment, and he turned his face away after a while and said, "Investigation."

Princess Xinyang snorted: "Why are you investigating Xiao Heng's life experience for no reason?"

King Ning was dumbfounded.

Princess Xinyang said lightly: "Don't say you knew it by accident, there are not so many accidents in the world, and you don't have that luck."

King Ning suddenly thought of the words Taifu Zhuang reminded himself—you can underestimate anyone in the royal family, but don’t underestimate Princess Xinyang.

"I don't know." King Ning said.

"I don't know what it means?" Princess Xinyang frowned.

King Ning thought for a while, and said: "That's right, I don't know who those people are, but they know me. At first they approached me pretending to take refuge in me and serve as my staff. They did find out some very useful things for me. I began to value and trust them. A few months later, they said that they had found a clue that could bring down Xuan Ping Hou. With him, I am one step closer to the crown prince."
