Chapter 158 Guidance and Calculation
Chapter 158 Guidance and Calculation
"Okay, it's all up to you."
"There's one more thing," Zhong Ning adjusted his posture, letting himself lean against the soft pillow, and then continued:
"I heard earlier that the Duke of Yingguo's daughter, Fu Ying, was exiled to the Jiaofangsi. On the day she was admitted to the Jiaofangsi, she was nearly raped by Prince An."
"I believe that no matter what crime the Duke and Duchess of Ying committed, Fu Ying was once the Crown Princess. If she were to be humiliated, it would be detrimental to the Crown Prince's reputation and the reputation of the royal family."
"In my opinion, it would be better to transfer her to the Eastern Palace and make her a maid to take good care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I heard that although the poison in His Royal Highness's body died because of Nanzhao, it transformed into a highly toxic aphrodisiac that has invaded his lungs. He is constantly consumed by lust, severely damaging his body. Every three days, the imperial physician has to suppress the effects with medication."
"The Crown Prince is the heir apparent after all. Exerting too much energy for a long time is bad for his health. The imperial physician also said that occasionally venting his emotions can actually help alleviate his condition."
"Anyway, they were already engaged and had a foundation of love. If Fu Ying can take good care of the Crown Prince, we can give her a status as a concubine, which is much better than working in the Imperial Music Bureau."
"What does Father think?"
Emperor Yong looked at Zhong Ning deeply, and heard her say on the left that the prince is the crown prince after all, and on the right that it is for the prince's health.
His usually cold and hard heart actually softened a little at this moment.
He is truly worthy of being his child, with love and compassion for life flowing in his blood.
That rebellious son was just a chess piece that was replaced. If it weren't for the overall situation on the front line, which required the crown prince to be deposed for the time being, he would have found a way to depose him long ago.
Even if he is not disabled, he should be allowed to slowly die from illness.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Hua had no intention of killing the prince at all, but was so considerate of the prince.
Forget it, I'll just agree to her for now, and then I'll think about executing those two bastards together.
If Zhong Ning knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud.
Is she thinking about the prince?
Haha, if she hadn't heard that the prince had killed a palace maid in the East Palace two days ago, she wouldn't have thought of this idea.
In the plot of the book "The First-Class Poison Queen", Fu Ying is the female protagonist and the prince is the male protagonist. She wants to see what sparks will be created if these two are brought together now?
A man who is poisoned by a strong aphrodisiac and needs to vent his sexual desires all the time, and a woman who wants to stay in the Eastern Palace and doesn't want to end up in the Jiaofangsi again.
The East Palace will surely be extremely lively in the future.
Every day is a wonderful day. She can't guarantee it for others, but the prince and Fu Ying will definitely be very satisfied.
Since she couldn't kill the male and female protagonists, she tried to make them fight each other.
Only when they are eager to kill each other will she, the cannon fodder, have a chance to breathe.
Zhong Ning thought of this and felt secretly excited.
The battle between the two will surely be a thrilling one. She really wants to watch some of this kind of live pornographic content.
After all, she had little practical experience and had to rely on her imagination to come up with the specific details.
Emperor Yong looked at the strange smile that suddenly appeared on Zhong Ning's face and couldn't help but tap her little head lightly with his fan.
"Regarding Fu Ying's matter, I'll do as you wish!" Emperor Yong said with a gentle smile, "You should take good care of yourself these few days and not go out again. Even if you want to pay homage, you can do so in a grand manner. I want to see who dares to offend the princess again."
"Yes, I obey your order!"
"I'm busy with government affairs, so I'll return to the palace first." Emperor Yong said as he stood up and instructed Murong Xin, who was standing there like a wooden stake, "Take good care of your elder sister. You can come to the palace together to pay your respects later!"
"Yes! Father!" Murong Xin replied with a smile.
Emperor Yong rubbed her head and then left briskly.
"Wuwu...Sister Zhong, does it hurt?"
Seeing that most of the people had finally left, Murong Xin immediately rushed over and said, "You handled the situation so well just now. I wanted to help, but I was afraid that it would affect your performance... Why are the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion so mean? I hate them so much."
"I'm fine, it was all acting!" Zhong Ning said softly, and then pulled off the white cloth tied on his forehead.
There was no bloodstain on that smooth forehead.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!
Murong Xin stared at Zhong Ning in amazement, not knowing how to react. After a long moment, he stammered, "Then you..."
Zhong Ning took Murong Xin's hand and said word by word, "Sister, let me tell you, sometimes, retreating to advance is much more effective than confronting head-on."
"When someone attempts to blackmail you, you must be the first to do so."
"Use your opponent's spear to attack his shield, that's the principle."
Murong Xin nodded, not quite understanding.
If someone had taught her these things earlier, she would not have suffered at the hands of Murong Huan.
But it’s not too late to learn now.
Sister Zhong is really amazing!
Murong Xin was about to say something else when Zhong Ning suddenly said bluntly, "Go back first. I have some things to take care of!"
"Okay, then Sister Zhong, I'll come see you again tomorrow!"
Murong Xin left the princess's mansion, looking back every few steps.
She wanted to stay, but it was obvious that Sister Zhong had something important to deal with at the moment and it was not convenient for her to be there.
As expected, Su Xin entered the hall and reported:
"Princess, the gifts sent by the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion have been counted. There are two thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and ten boxes of various jades and treasures. They fill up half of the warehouse. Here is the gift list, please take a look!"
Zhong Ning took the list and checked it from inside to outside, but found that there was no jade pendant-like object inside.
Most jade articles are ornaments, and at most they are paired with a few beads.
This is not right. Didn’t Chen Yan have the Soul-Exchange Jade?
Zhong Ning frowned slightly, suddenly realizing that he seemed to have overlooked a problem. In the original plot, Chen Yan successfully saved the beauty and it was easy for him to conquer her. He gave her the jade pendant as a token of love, so she would naturally wear it every day.
But now, the plan of the hero saving the beauty has failed miserably. He will definitely explain the reason to the Duke of Fuguo.
In the plot, Duke Fuguo was unaware of this.
In reality, when Duke Fuguo knew about this, anyone would be attracted by the jade pendant with such magical effects.
Duke Fuguo has held a high position for many years. Even though he has seen countless treasures, there is no guarantee that he will not be tempted. If he is tempted, his intention may be to indulge in love affairs like Chen Yan, who is love-brained.
Men have loved power since ancient times.
It would be fine if there is no such opportunity, but if there is a chance to turn the tables and become the supreme being, which man would not be tempted?
This is like a general. If he only has 8,000 soldiers, he will definitely be a loyal minister.
But what if he has 800,000 soldiers and horses?
Now that he has the capital to rebel, he will definitely choose to give it a try.
(Thanks to all the friends who are still following the update. I will add another chapter today. I will work harder!)
