Chapter 118 Uncle Huang slaps the face and teaches He Ligou a lesson
He Qixuan never expected that the killer hired at a high price would be intercepted and killed halfway because he was useless.
Those people did not come to Shen Ning, but he invited them to force their way into the palace to rescue Wanyue.
But he didn't expect that although Concubine Yi came late, she ordered Shen Ning to be executed and buried at the critical moment, which saved him a lot of trouble.
However, Shen Ning dared to resist and run for his life, so he temporarily changed his mind and let the killer intercept him.
But she was lucky enough to run away like this.
There was no movement around, only this carriage was the most suspicious.
"How dare you, you dare to stop the carriage of Prince Pingnan Mansion?"
Uncle Zeng narrowed his eyes and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty suffers from heart disease and stridor. He cannot bear any disturbance. If something happens, can you afford it?"
Only then did He Qixuan see clearly that it was the carriage of Prince Pingnan, and he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
But thinking about Shen Ning's scourge, I couldn't help but feel more courageous, "Steward Zeng, I didn't mean to bother the Sixteenth Master, but something big happened in the Jin Palace, and I really had no choice."
Uncle Zeng had a bad temper, "What's the big deal?"
"The princess is suspected of maliciously plotting to kill the prince, and I have been ordered by Concubine Yi to arrest the murderer."
"What did you say?" Uncle Zeng jumped out of the carriage, "I am old and deaf, could you please say it again?"
He Qixuan was shocked, but Prince Pingnan's palace had great reputation. Who in the capital would dare not to give Uncle Zeng some face, so he could only reiterate: "The princess is suspected of maliciously murdering the prince..."
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Zeng struck hard with the short whip in his hand.
The short whip hit He Qixuan's face, and blood marks immediately appeared.
He Qixuan was stunned by the whip. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he was whipped again on the other side of his face. The burning sting made his facial features distort. He endured anger and said: "I was just ordered to arrest the princess, why should Butler Zeng be in trouble?"
"In trouble?" Uncle Zeng was furious and whipped him more than ten times in a row.
He Qixuan almost fainted from the pain, but he did not dare to fight back due to the huge difference in status. The guards also knew that King Pingnan was special and had no intention of helping him.
"It's a shame that you came from Prince Jin's Mansion. You're simply an idiot."
Uncle Zeng scolded, "The two armies in the north are facing each other, and the war is about to break out. The capital is full of Mongolian spies, and they are doing everything they can to dispel the news about the King of Jin. But you are loudly shouting everywhere, opening and closing your mouth that the princess is plotting to murder the prince. Yes Don’t you want to tell the world that the prince was killed by the princess?
It’s a pity that the He family prides itself on being a scholarly family, but it has given birth to a blind and selfish person like you. Are you afraid that this is not the work of the Meng army?”
"Uncle Zeng misunderstood. I had no other intention. It was the princess who really killed the prince..."
Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Zeng whipped him in the mouth.
He Qixuan's nose was broken, his teeth were loose, and his mouth was full of blood.
Such an ignorant and selfish guy either has a dark heart or is just being careful and spreading the news through arrests.
He Qixuan almost died, but his stubborn temper followed him, "Uncle Zeng, are you determined to make things difficult for Concubine Yi?"
King Pingnan always had a very good temper. He often gave food or rewards to beggars who blocked the way. He never punished them because of their different status. He was a broad-minded man, but instead, his subordinates, chickens and dogs, gained power and bullied others.
Especially this Uncle Zeng, who unknowingly thought that he was the King of Pingnan, using chicken feathers as arrows, but a slave was always a slave, so why should he be whipped or even labeled as a craftsman?
On the contrary, his arrogant attitude made He Qixuan more and more certain that Shen Ning must be hiding in the carriage.
She once saved King Pingnan, so it would be strange not to repay her kindness, but as long as he shows affection and reason, and with the face of Concubine Yi, King Pingnan will definitely hand over Shen Ning, otherwise he will violate the law. Even the emperor was offended by the royal etiquette.
But after all, he had never dealt with her before, so He Qixuan was a little frightened. But thinking of Lin Wanyue who was being abused, he couldn't help but make up his mind. No matter what the cost, Shen Ning must be eliminated today.
So, he had to take a gamble.
"What a loud tone." Uncle Zeng pointed at his nose and said, "You take a pee and look at yourself to see where this cat and dog came from. How qualified are you to talk to King Pingnan."
He Qixuan was so arrogant that he didn't even bother to talk to Uncle Zeng. Instead, he saluted the carriage and said, "I, Mr. He, have been ordered by Concubine Yi to take the princess back to the palace. I also ask King Pingnan to make it convenient for you."
There was silence in the carriage for a long while before the voice of the clear breeze and bright moon could be heard, "Mr. He, are you saying that I have hidden Princess Jin secretly?"
"He did not dare to speak nonsense, but he was indeed ordered to do so and had to carry it out."
Across the curtain, Xiao Yunqi's voice was as gentle as jade, "Since the following criminals want to search my car, is there any evidence of private possession?"
He Qixuan's palms were sweating, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I overstepped my bounds."
"Do you know the consequences of overstepping your bounds?"
He Qixuan was sweating coldly. He did not expect that the always gentle King Pingnan would be so difficult to speak.
As he was riding a tiger with difficulty, he was pounding in his heart, but thinking of Lin Wanyue's miserable situation, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to bear the burden."
The prince was kind to him, but unfortunately he died young. Fortunately, Wanyue was pregnant with his flesh and blood, so the bloodline could be passed on.
He has the responsibility and obligation to take care of Wanyue and the children for the prince, but the prerequisite is to get rid of Shen Ning.
Otherwise, as long as she lives one day, she will harm Wanyue and her children.
The streets were all silent, torches were hunting in the wind in the darkness, but everyone's hearts were in their throats, waiting for King Pingnan's answer.
One is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the other is the emperor's beloved brother. No one can afford to offend either one.
"Uncle Zeng." A voice sounded.
Uncle Zeng put away his short whip and moved forward to lift the car curtain.
In the carriage, Xiao Yunqi sat with his horse and gold sword in his arms, holding a beautiful woman in his arms.
The woman was lying in his arms, with only her jade-colored lotus hooks exposed as she hugged Xiao Yun's neck, her two slender white legs overlapping each other, and her body was tightly covered by the cloak.
When the curtain was opened, a charming voice sounded, "I hate it, Your Majesty."
No one expected that King Pingnan would actually be with the woman in the carriage...
The scene was lively and lively, and everyone couldn't help but gasp. They all said that King Pingnan was in poor health, and they didn't expect him to be so good at playing.
Her voice was charming and charming, as if it had a hook. At first glance, it sounded like it was not Shen Ning at all.
But Shen Ning was full of tricks, and He Qixuan had to be on guard. He took a deep breath and wanted to get on the carriage, wanting to see the woman's true face.
The perfect and pure facial features were slightly restrained, and the gentle voice became colder, "Mr. He, do you want to share my wife with me?"
Although Xiao Yunqi is gentle and elegant, once he becomes serious, the aura he exudes is no worse than that of the black-faced nephew of Yama.
He Qixuan was frightened and said with an embarrassed expression: "He just wants to see this girl's face clearly."
"The King and Princess Jin are old acquaintances. Is it possible that I can't tell who I am hugging?"
A coldness flashed through his eyes, and Xiao Yunqi asked: "Or do you think I and Princess Jin are related?"
