Chapter 149 So Miserable
Qingyang realized later, and even said in a dull tone: "Is the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room more important than the death of the palace maid?"
"Nonsense!" Yinyue said angrily, "Are you a pig? A palace maid is nothing, is it worth the prince's trouble?"
Qingyang was frightened by what she just said about being sent to the frontier. Although he didn't agree with it, he still dragged Yiyue to the big tree in the distance with scruples. He unconsciously lowered his voice: "Of course that palace lady doesn't It's nothing, but she was plotting something evil tonight, intending to frame the princess. This was a serious crime that could be punished by Ling Chi, but there was no reason for a little palace maid to frame the princess. She must have been instigated by someone behind her... But now the palace maid is dead, There is no evidence, and the prince will definitely conduct a strict investigation tomorrow morning, but what should I do if the clues are cut off from this palace lady? "
"Who said the clues were all cut off from the palace maid?" Yinyue frowned and looked at him as if he were an idiot, "I really doubt why the prince chose you as his personal guard in the first place. How can a pig like you survive to this day? Being slapped to death by the prince is all because of the prince's mercy."
Qingyang: "..." Do you want to be so cruel?
How in the world does he look like a pig?
Isn't what he said true? The palace maid was dead, and she was killed and silenced. The reason must be to interrupt the clues so that the prince could not find the person behind it.
"Who said that the clues are lost when the palace maid dies?" Yin Yue stared at the direction of the palace door and said in a calm tone, "Didn't the prince give you an order to capture the commander of the guard?"
Qingyang nodded and reacted slowly: "Is Commander Wei the mastermind behind this?"
"How do I know?" Yinyue curled her lips, "The prince should be well aware of this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."
"But as the prince's personal bodyguard, failing to carry out the prince's order is a dereliction of duty in itself-"
"If you dare to interrupt the prince's wedding tonight, you will not be derelict in your duty." Yinyue snorted coldly, "Whether you can save your head tomorrow morning is what you should think about."
Qingyang's expression changed.
Well, the prince and Miss Nan have finally achieved success. Of course, the wedding night is more important. As for other things... Anyway, the palace maid is dead. Commander Wei and Gu Qingshu have been taken to the dungeon to wait for the prince to leave tomorrow. It's not too late to take action and start interrogation.
Qingyang thought about it and couldn't help but want to gossip with Yinyue again: "Who do you think did this tonight?"
"Do you still need to ask this question?" Yinyue didn't bother to use her brain to guess. "Who else besides the emperor could come up with such a stupid and clumsy plan? Although the maid said that she was sent a gift on the order of the queen. To the princess, but I don’t think the queen is that stupid - of course, she wasn’t that smart to begin with, but if she was so stupid and framed the princess on the grounds of the Regent’s Palace, she would probably have done her best as a queen. ”
Qingyang thought it made sense and couldn't help but nod: "It makes sense."
Yinyue said no more.
In the Prince Regent's Palace, in addition to the commander of the guards, who is the official commander of the guards, there is also a secret commander who is responsible for the defense of the palace, so even if the commander of the guards is arrested, it will not have an impact on the guard of the palace tonight.
The guests left one after another, some were shocked, some were confused, and some were secretly angry.
But undoubtedly, it would not affect the happy life of the newlyweds at all. However, considering that it was Nan Xi's first time, Rong Yu restrained himself and did not dare to indulge too much.
After the intense lovemaking, Yin Yue, who heard the summons, took the maid into the inner hall and replaced all the sheets and bedding with new ones. Rong Yu hugged his newlywed wife and went to take a bath again to cleanse herself. The hot water relieved the body's aches and pains, making it simple and clean. Behind him, Nan Xi was held on the clean and soft bed with her eyes half open.
"What time is it?" Nan Xi said, her voice slightly hoarse and lazy.
Rong Yu lay beside her and said softly: "It has just passed."
Nan Xi snorted, feeling a little drowsy.
"Are you feeling sleepy?" Rong Yu's breath lingered on his nose, and a charming atmosphere filled the air. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Nan Xi was ashamed to face this problem.
Although it hurt a little, it was actually okay. Moreover, she was indeed a little sleepy at this time, so she hummed in a daze, closed her eyes like an ostrich to escape, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.
Rong Yu stared at the girl's features, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness. If Nan Xi opened her eyes and looked at her at this moment, she would probably drown in them.
This is his girl, his princess, his beloved wife.
Rong Yu stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms, lowered his head and placed a kiss as thin as cicada's wings at the tip of her eyes, filled with cherishment and love.
When Nan Xi woke up early the next morning, the sun was already shining brightly outside.
The soreness in her body was awakened. She frowned slightly and let out a low groan in her throat. She lay quietly for a while before trying to move her body.
"It hurts?" Rong Yu's tense voice sounded in her ears. Nan Xi opened her eyes and saw a look of pain and guilt on his face. She raised her lips and said, "Every woman has to go through this. It's okay."
Rong Yu said nothing and quietly massaged her thighs.
Nan Xi stopped him: "Are you going to the palace today?"
"What are you doing in the palace?"
"I want to serve tea." Nan Xi sat up slowly, feeling that the pain was not that unbearable, "Aren't you going to serve tea to the Queen Mother?"
It is a rule for a woman to serve tea to her parents-in-law the day after she marries into her husband's family. Rong Yu's father, mother and concubine have passed away many years ago, but there is still a queen mother in the palace who is Rong Yu's sister-in-law. Whether it is according to royal etiquette or "eldest daughter-in-law" According to the rule of "sister-in-law is like mother", it seems that they should all go to the palace to serve tea.
"No need." Rong Yu said calmly, "Rest well in the mansion today, don't go anywhere."
Nan Xi pondered for a moment: "How is the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently?"
She had been away from the imperial capital for more than ten days, and had no idea what the Prime Minister's Mansion was like after her mother divorced her father.
But it is estimated that life will not be too easy.
"On April 6th, the waiter of Fengyang Restaurant went to settle the bill. The money your father had used to treat his colleagues to dinner at Fengyang Restaurant had not been settled. On April 7th, the Cen Embroidery Shop went to collect the bill. Li and Nan Jiao had ordered several sets of clothes from their embroidery shop and had not paid the money. On April 9th, the teahouse went to collect the bill. On April 12th, Aunt Li went to the silver shop and saw a pair of earrings. She wanted to buy them on credit, but the silver shop did not agree. The two sides had a dispute. Aunt Li was ridiculed by several ladies who visited the silver shop and fled."
The indifferent and taciturn Regent Prince rarely turned into a know-it-all, and recounted everything that had happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion in recent days, which made Nan Xi stunned.
This... is so miserable?
"Father's life is...tsk tsk." Nan Xi sighed with a faint smile, "Sure enough, without my mother, he is nothing."
Rong Yu didn't say anything.
Nan Xi's eyes fell on his face: "Husband, this is the first time I hear you speak so long, and it's so...well, completely different from your usual self."
