Chapter 250: Watch Your Step (2)
"I originally thought that with your character, you would find a woman who is as elegant as a chrysanthemum, and I thought it would be very boring to live a life like this." Changqing Wang shook his head and smiled while playing with the folding fan in his hand, " I didn't expect you to beg the king's most interesting niece."
"The princess is joking," Rong Xia's tone suddenly changed, "but the princess is indeed a rare and good girl."
King Changqing chuckled, turned his head and continued to walk out. Walking to the second gate, I saw a few maids and servants walking in with countless gift boxes, some of which still had King Ning's logo on them.
Seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth curved even wider, he turned his head and said to Rong Xia: "Master Hou, stay here, there is no need to send it off."
"Your Majesty, please."
"Stay."
Rong Xia finally sent the man to the gate, and before King Changqing got into the carriage, he covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
Hearing the voice, King Changqing turned around and said to Rong Xia, "Master Hou must take good care of his health."
"Thank you, Prince, for your concern."
King Changqing walked into the carriage, and the luxurious county king's carriage slowly drove away from the Marquis of Cheng'an Mansion. Rong Xia stood at the gate, watching the carriage go away quietly, and turned around and walked back when he could no longer see it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, he saw Banhua standing on the Jiuqu Hanbaiyu stone bridge, but Ban Heng, who liked to be her little tail, was nowhere to be found.
"Huahua," Rong Xia walked to Banhua's side, "It's windy here, why are you here?"
"It's too boring to be bored in the yard, so I'll come out to bask in the sun," Ban Hua tied her hair loosely in a bun, looking very leisurely and lazy. She raised her chin towards the gate, "King Changqing has gone back?"
"Well, let's go back," Rong Xia stretched out his hand towards her, "Let's go to the yard to bask in the sun, it's very windy here, if the disease becomes serious, you have to drink medicine again, isn't that a crime?"
Ban Hua looked at the hand stretched out in front of her, and put it into Rong Xia's palm: "Okay."
She really didn't want to drink that bitter medicine anymore.
"Where's Brother Ben?"
"I asked him to go back to the yard and take a horseback ride," Banhua said. "He's still too weak and needs some practice."
Rong Xia was stunned when she heard the words, then nodded and said, "You're right, it's good for boys to be stronger."
Anyway, what Huahua said is correct, so there is no problem.
The case of being attacked by a killer in Cheng'anhou's mansion was finally determined to be the jealous revenge of the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and had nothing to do with other people. Some people believed this statement. After all, His Majesty sent people to investigate the case with great fanfare, and rewarded Cheng Anhou with many things. There were even rumors that if Cheng Anhou hadn't been in court recently and had just been conferred the title of Marquis, His Majesty would have wanted Jin made him the Duke of the country, and this attitude doesn't seem to disregard Cheng Anhou.
The honorable family scoffed at such rumors, that is the title of the Duke of the country, not a candy for coaxing children, if you are unhappy, I will give you one.
In the whole court, there are only three people who really have the title of duke of the country.
One is the queen mother's younger brother, one is the queen's father, and the other one is the dandy of the Ban family.
These three princes have one thing in common, that is, relying on women to be in power. One depends on the sister, one depends on the daughter, and the other depends on the mother.
As an official or a minister, if he can earn a title, it is a great event to honor his ancestors, even in the genealogy, it must be recorded greatly, even if the dynasty changes hundreds of years later, the children and grandchildren will be honored when they see it.
A few people could see clearly that His Majesty was not pity for Marquis Cheng An, but to appease him. Because the real murderer is absolutely impossible to be that official, but someone else. How could a small official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs have such a great ability to hire such a professional killer, and even bribe the servants of the Marquis of Cheng'an's mansion?
Who His Majesty wants to protect, they don't need to think too much, they should understand in their hearts.
King Ning.
Some old officials were a little chilled. King Ning did such a thing, even if His Majesty defended his shortcomings, he should not be allowed to continue to supervise the country. Today Cheng Anhou made him unhappy, so he sent killers to assassinate them. If what they did didn't suit him tomorrow, would he also send killers to kill them?
Marquis Cheng An was lucky, and Princess Fule came to save his life at the most critical moment, but can each of them have such good luck?
His Majesty acted like this, but he didn't take the lives of these courtiers seriously.
Some courtiers were heartbroken, and some courtiers beat their chests and stamped their feet. Ban Huai brought a few dude brothers and made a fuss in the court. King Ning was so angry that his face was ashen. If he hadn't been concerned about Ban Huai's identity, he would have sent the imperial guards to arrest Ban Huai. Huai dragged on.
Originally, they thought that Ban Huai would definitely take advantage of the fire and act wildly in the court hall once King Ning was so angry with Ban Huai, but they didn't know that Ban Huai not only didn't come when the court meeting started, but also asked for a leave of absence.
Everyone asked the reason, okay, the dignified Mr. Jingting was shocked by someone on the way back home, knocked his forehead on the wall of the car, and injured a small cut. Fortunately, the interior of the carriage that Mr. Jing Ting was riding in was covered with a thick layer of cushions, and even the walls were sewn with fur, so the injury was not serious.
However, Mr. Jing Ting had just defended Cheng Anhou in court, and was injured on the way back, and was startled by a "coincidence".
They have never seen such a coincidence in the world. I am afraid it is not a coincidence, but man-made. People in high positions are inevitably suspicious. Therefore, Mr. Jing Ting's accident this time has already been characterized in everyone's minds as someone else's ulterior motive.
Let me ask, who would hate Mr. Jing Ting so much?
Everyone turned their attention to King Ning who was sitting on the python pattern seat under the dragon chair. He was irritable, cruel, reckless, and narrow-minded. If such a person became the emperor, how could they survive? Marquis Cheng An and Duke Jing Ting were both plotted by him in this way, so what about them?
Ban Hua, who was still recovering from injuries in Cheng'an Hou Mansion, heard that Ban Huai was injured, so she couldn't sit still, so she rushed back that day. As a result, she circled Ban Huai a few times, and only saw a thumb-sized thumb on his forehead. The bag, there is no damage anywhere else.
"Father, what's going on here?" Banhua drank half a cup of tea in one go, and she didn't even have time to eat lunch in order to get back early.
"This is really a coincidence," Ban Huai said with a dry smile and what happened.
The general idea is that a person accidentally rushed out, startled the horses pulling the carriage, and Ban Huai, who was sitting in the carriage, bumped his head against the wall of the carriage. What's more, the perpetrator was an eunuch in Ning Palace. He secretly left the palace to buy something.
It's unclear what happened, even if King Ning did not ask people to do it, in the eyes of everyone in the capital, it was King Ning who did it.
