Chapter 423: Counterattack (two changes) (1/2)
Chapter 423 Counterattack (two more)
The man looked at her tightly grabbing the corner of her clothes and sneered: ”What? You want to slap the king again? Then you'd better try harder this time. Don't leave a slap mark like last time.”
……
The prince came out of the royal study room, with a look of disbelief, not looking at the road very much, and almost collided with the person walking by.
He was about to have an attack, but found out that the man was King Ning.
He couldn't say what he was feeling, and greeted boringly: ”Big Brother.”
Ning Wang smiled and said, ”What's wrong? You seem to be upset. Did your father scold you or Xiao Qi?”
The prince said bitterly: ”The emperor said that I didn't discipline Xiao Qi! What is this for me? Who knows where that little fat man is so courageous and running around the palace?”
King Ning laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and said, ”You are the prince, you are the elder brother, and you are the example of all the princes. The father will inevitably have higher expectations of you. Don't worry, the father is just a mouthful. Say, I’m not really to blame you. As for Xiao Qi, he is a naughty age, and it’s normal to get into trouble, and it’s too late for his father to love him. I won’t really blame him.”
These words are still quite comfortable.
The prince would not be jealous of Qin Chuyu's dismissal of his father's favor. After all, he was his own younger brother, and after all, he was so many years apart. What's more, King Ning was right. The father blamed him because his expectations of him were higher than other princes.
He sighed: ”That's... the father still has to punish Xiao Qi, and it's useless for me to plead.”
Ning Wang smiled and patted the prince on the shoulder: ”You go back to the East Palace first, and I will talk to the father.”
The prince opened his mouth. To be honest, he and King Ning are not in the same camp. King Ning is the biggest threat to his emperor. Not only because King Ning is smarter and capable than him, but also because his father loves King Ning very much.
The elder brother of King Kening is often hard to hate.
His eyes are warm, sunny, and candid. He strives to be a good son of the father and the brother of the princes. He is motivated, but he does not see much ambition.
Especially, he has no unspeakable thoughts about Lin Lang.
Don’t think that you don’t know that the third, fourth, and even the fifth of Concubine Shu have quietly admired Linlang.
Only the elder brother is upright and upright.
Thinking about this, the prince looked at King Ning more pleasingly: ”That's it, I will ask my eldest brother about Xiao Qi, Lin Lang is injured, I have to go back and take care of her as soon as possible.”
He just walked a few steps, King Ning suddenly stopped him: ”Second brother.”
The prince turned around: ”Is there anything wrong with the big brother?”
King Ning said: ”My father is very worried about the assessment of the six departments recently, and the cabinet is also arguing about it. I am planning to go to the cabinet. Do you want to be with your second brother?”
”This...” The prince hesitated.
As the prince of a country, he naturally knows that it is a rare good thing to participate in government affairs to share the worries of his father, but he is really worried about Lin Lang's injury.
Ning Wang smiled and said, ”Then I will tell my father that I will do it alone.”
If you let the father know this, would you be happy?
The prince muttered: ”Father did not say this.”
Ning Wang smiled and said, ”That's because I haven't reported it yet.”
Yes, I can’t escape.
The prince sighed: ”Then I will wait for the eldest brother to go to the cabinet together.”
Ning Wang smiled: ”Okay.”
Watching the two brothers get on the carriage intimately, the eyes of Gu Jiao and Yuan Tang behind the big tree are both straight.
Yuantang: ”Isn't it? It didn't fight? The prince thinks that he is not completely green?”
Yuantang has already found out who the man who had a private meeting with the princess is.
Not only because he heard the other person’s voice, but also because the other person turned around and accidentally told him to see the face clearly when he left.
His mood at that time can only be described by how surprised and surprised he was.
Gu Jiao snorted, really surprised.
Yuantang said coldly: ”I want to rid myself of my grievances!”
Gu Jiao refused: ”No.”
”Why?” Yuan Tang asked.
”Princess Rui will die.” Gu Jiao said, ”She is the only person who can'see' you and the prince concubine in a private meeting. She is an important witness. Once you are exonerated, King Ning will not keep her. .”
People like and King Ning can’t be moral, don’t expect him to think about brotherhood.
Yuantang snorted coldly: ”Do I have to carry this black pot for the rest of my life?”
Gu Jiao's eyes rolled: ”How about...you go kill him?”
Yuantang's mouth twitched fiercely.
Is he a watermelon? I say kill and kill!
Also, this is the territory of your Zhaoguo! I'm going to assassinate your eldest son of Zhaoguo, how many heads can I chop off?
seemed to see his complaint, Gu Jiao spread her hands: ”Didn't you even assassinate the emperor?”
Yuantang clenched his fists: ”That's just doing it! How dare I really kill your emperor! Am I going to die!”
Gu Jiao squinted at him: ”Collaborating with the concubine of the enemy country, is it different from seeking death?”
Yuantang choked.
Thinking of what, Yuan Tang grinned: ”Huh? Or, can you tell you the queen dowager? Doesn't the queen dowager Zhuang trust you very much? What you say, she won't believe it, right?”
Gu Jiao was silent.
After a while, she said faintly: ”She believes in me. Is that the reason why I stabbed her with a knife?”
Yuantang choked again.
He forgot, King Ning’s body was filled with the same blood as Queen Mother Zhuang.
Ning Wang can be sorry for many people, but he has never lost the Queen Mother.
His filial piety to the Queen Mother Zhuang is from the heart.
Yuantang looked at Gu Jiao deeply: ”So...what exactly did you plan? I need to know whether we will be enemies or friends in the future.”
Don’t blame Yuan Tang for asking like this, it is true that even Yuan Tang could see that King Ning would not move Gu Jiao.
It is impossible for King Ning to guess that Gu Jiao has guessed the truth. He never thought of killing Gu Jiao from the beginning, because Yuantang thought of several reasons.
One is that Gu Jiao is the empress dowager’s heart and soul. If she touches Gu Jiao, she will not give up.
Second, King Ning also needs Gu Jiao to treat Princess Ning’s disease. Of course, this is based on the premise that King Ning has feelings for Princess Ning.
The third point is also very important. Gu Jiao is an outsider. She doesn't care about the prince dispute. Even if King Ning turns the prince into a grassland, what does it have to do with Gu Jiao?
Since King Ning won’t kill her, there is no need for her to be an enemy of King Ning, right?
Gu Jiao said calmly: ”I only do what I think is necessary.”
Yuantang puzzled: ”What do you mean? Is it against King Ning?”
Gu Jiao looked at him: ”I should actually ask you this.”
Yuantang was taken aback: ”What?”
Gu Jiao said without hesitation: ”If King Ning finds that it is not easy to assassinate you, so he just abandons you and turns to think about other ways, then do you still have to be an enemy of him?”
Yuantang opened his mouth: ”I...”
Gu Jiao said: ”It doesn't matter whether I am against him or not. I never need friends, and I am not afraid of more opponents.”
Killing but nodding your head, what this girl said is heartbreaking!
