Chapter 69 She's the Princess(1/2)
The next day, Chu Yunning got the news that Jingniang was acquitted because of insufficient evidence, but she confiscated the gold medal of exemption from death and demoted to a commoner.
"Miss, this is too much!" Bi Xiu's eyes were red with anger.
After getting the result, Chu Yunning was not surprised at all, as if he had guessed it long ago that Jing Niang still had so many industries in her hands, and with a little operation, she would definitely save her life.
But I didn't expect Emperor Mingwen would let Jingniang go so easily.
Jingniang was arrogant and domineering in the capital for more than ten years, conquering money and bullying the people. Countless people sued Yihonglou, and she was a bully-like existence.
This time, I finally had the opportunity to eradicate Yihonglou. Even if there is no evidence, Emperor Mingwen should create evidence and use the force to make Jingniang have no place to turn over.
It's a pity to spare her so easily.
"Master, someone sent a brocade box outside."
Tianyi took the brocade box.
"Mom, what's such a big box?"
Beibei walked over from outside the door, stared at the box curiously, and sniffed hard: "It's the smell of blood."
Tianyi's face changed slightly, and he didn't even smell it.
"Take it down and deal with it." Chu Yunning probably guessed that this was Jing Niang's provocation.
Chu Yunning held Beibei with his hands: "If one day I see a face like my mother, I will not be deceived."
Beibei frowned and hummed: "Can I still not recognize the smell of my mother? I underestimate me too much."
"Yes, Beibei is the smartest, so can we have an agreement?"
Chu Yunning made an agreement with Beibei in private just in case.
Thinking of Jing Niang's affairs, Chu Yunning held his breath, so he went to ask King Xiao for a clear question.
She wants to know if Emperor Mingwen has any hidden secrets!
After going to the Xiao Prince's Mansion, the housekeeper was very surprised: "Why is the princess back?"
"Where is the prince?" Chu Yunning asked.
The housekeeper snorted coldly: "The princess has left the princess's mansion, why are they coming back to do? The princess is already accompanied by her gentle and considerate Aunt Sheng. It's better not to disturb her."
Chu Yunning frowned. What does the relationship between how many women around King Xiao have to do with her?
He was too lazy to talk nonsense to the butler anymore, so Chu Yunning simply bypassed him, but the butler stopped him: "Princess, don't bother with it. The prince won't agree to you to come back. If you know the truth, please leave quickly and don't ask for trouble!"
The housekeeper looked disdainful and was sure that Chu Yunning couldn't live outside anymore, so he came to beg for mercy.
Very thick-skinned!
"I'll ask again, where is the prince?"
Chu Yunning gradually lost his patience.
"Oh, I dare to speak arrogantly and throw a tantrum when I ask for it. The Xiao Mansion is not something that a cat or a dog can come. Since you have left, the Xiao Mansion will not welcome you!"
The butler raised his chin and his attitude was very arrogant.
Chu Yunning rolled his eyes. How could Ye Yan'er, the master of the family, raise such a slave who is so arrogant!
Chu Yunning said coldly: "I advise you to go and find the prince so as not to delay the serious matters. If you are unlucky, you will be the one who is unlucky!"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "It's up to you?"
After laughing enough, the housekeeper said again: "If you don't urinate and look in the mirror, an abandoned woman dares to speak out loud. The prince is not what you want. I have been in the prince's house for more than 20 years. What are you, a naughty man, who can compare with me?"
The butler's words became increasingly unpleasant, and Chu Yunning looked impatient and turned around and left.
"Princess, please stay!" Rufeng happened to pass by. He suddenly saw Chu Yunning coming and was very excited: "Princess, I will go and invite the prince now."
Chu Yunning glanced back at Rufeng, glanced at the butler again, and said coldly: "No need, how dare I disturb the prince if I am a mere abandoned wife."
Rufeng looked at the butler with a serious expression when he heard this. The butler's face changed slightly: "Guard Rufeng, I... I am just worried that it will affect the prince's affairs, after all, the princess has left the prince's mansion."
"Bastard!" Rufeng scolded: "The princess is the mistress of the prince's mansion. It depends on your expression when you go back to your home? When I report to the prince, I must punish you severely!"
Rufeng is the personal bodyguard of King Xiao, and the affairs in the mansion are managed by the housekeeper. Rufeng can make decisions on behalf of the prince for matters outside the mansion and all important matters.
Therefore, Rufeng's status is higher than that of the butler.
The housekeeper was so scared that his forehead was filled with sweat: "I..."
Rufeng pushed the housekeeper away, saluted respectfully at Chu Yunning, and pointed to the direction: "Princess, if the princess knows that you are back, you will definitely be very happy. Please come here."
Chu Yunning nodded and said to the butler unhappily before leaving: "I have been doing evil in the Xiao Palace for so many years, and I have been used to bullying others with my power. I don't even distinguish between the master and the secondary!"
"Princess?" The housekeeper opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Chu Yunning didn't listen to the explanation and quickly left. Rufeng explained behind him: "Princess, please calm down. My subordinates will report to the prince truthfully and punish the disobedient slaves severely."
"Um!"
Turning past the corridor and passing by the familiar Danqiongyuan, I suddenly heard a melodious sound of flutes coming from inside.
Chu Yunning stopped curiously and raised his eyebrows: "Who lives here?"
Rufeng shook his head: "Since the princess left, it has been empty here."
Is there still a flute sound in the empty space?
Chu Yunning pushed open the door of Danqiongyuan and saw two people standing under the grape trellis at a glance.
The man was wearing a black brocade dress, and the auspicious clouds were embroidered with gold thread at the collar. He was tall and handsome. Who was this person not King Xiao?
Chu Yunning moved his eyes down and saw Sheng Sheng.
I couldn't take it away at this moment.
Sheng Sheng looked very similar to her. She was wearing a light green and narrow waisted skirt, with slender waist and black hair casually tidy up, playing the flute.
The sound of the flute is melodious and melodious, very similar to the song she played before.
The two of them stood together and were surprisingly compatible.
"Prince!" Rufeng shouted anxiously, why was it so unfortunate that he was caught by the princess?
King Xiao raised his eyes and was stunned when he saw Chu Yunning, as if he was asking why he was coming.
"Prince, who is this?" Sheng Sheng was also very surprised, but he guessed the other party's identity in his heart.
Sheng Sheng subconsciously touched his face. There were actually two people like this in this world.
"This is the princess!" Rufeng solemnly reminded.
Sheng Sheng bent his knees: "Sheng Sheng greeted the princess, but he didn't know that the princess was here, so don't blame him."
Chu Yunning looked at Sheng Sheng and tried to detect something. After careful observation, this face was not disguise but genuine leather.
Apart from the twins, this is the first time she has seen two people so similar.
"No need to be polite." Chu Yunning raised his hand with a slightest.
Shengsheng stood up without being embarrassed: "Thank you Princess!"
After saying that, Sheng Sheng looked at King Xiao and said obediently: "The princess is very happy when she comes back. I must have said a lot to the prince, so I won't disturb you."
Without waiting for King Xiao to nod, Sheng Sheng bent down and saluted and said goodbye.
After the person left, King Xiao squinted his eyes like the wind and retreated with tactfulness.
There were only two people left in the yard. King Xiao covered his mouth and coughed twice, breaking the silence: "Why are you here? The one just now is actually..."
"Prince, I came here to ask about Jing Niang."
Chu Yunning's expression was calm, and he did not have any emotional fluctuations because of Sheng Sheng's appearance. Not to mention being jealous, he didn't even have a trace of anger.
King Xiao was discouraged and asked unwillingly: "I pampered her, are you not angry at all?"
Chu Yunning was puzzled: "Why do I get angry when the prince pampers other women? There are few concubines in the royal family, so it is normal for the prince to take more."
"You!" King Xiao was suddenly choked, as if he had eaten a fly, feeling uncomfortable.
Chu Yunning didn't care. King Xiao could marry anyone. As for Sheng Sheng, she was not jealous, but made her disgusted with her face.
After finishing her work, she wanted to go back and ask Mrs. Chu if her father had any concubines she kept outside, maybe she was her half-sister.
"By the way, I'm here to ask Jing Niang about it."
Thinking of the serious matter, Chu Yunning asked: "Why did the emperor let Jing Niang go so easily? The crime of treason is seriously implicated in the nine tribes."
King Xiao suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down and said, "I asked the emperor about this matter. The emperor said that after all, Mother Jing was the woman he asked him to protect before his father died."
"What's the meaning?"
"Before his death, the emperor asked his brother to swear that he would not kill Jingniang for any reason during his reign, otherwise he would not have any descendants for his entire life and there would be no successor in the country!"
Chu Yunning gasped: "How could the late emperor be so cruel and curse his country for a woman?"
King Xiao also looked helpless.
"So, as long as the emperor is in power, even if the great crimes of the Nine Clans are implicated, she will be unable to deal with?"
This is more stable than the gold medal of avoiding death. Emperor Mingwen has only been in his prime and has no health problems. It is fine if he lives for another decade.
