Sickish Prince is Scheming - C322
Shang Yiqing walked out of the imperial study and stood outside the hall thinking. ShShereally didn’t have a choice, even the emperor wouldn’t believe her words now. Who else in the court would believe her? Was she going to watch as King Xuan rebelled? Thinking of this, he felt anxious and panicked. This won’t do. I should first discuss with Dongfang Hao and see what he can do. He took a step down the stairs, turned the corridor, and made a turn. Suddenly, he saw a person walking over. Although it was winter, he was only wearing a brocade robe.
He really didn’t expect to meet King Xuan here, and the nail merchant he met at the emperor’s place, Yi Qing, felt as if he was stuck in his throat. When he saw him, he obviously didn’t have a good temper and heavily snorted, not intending to bother with him. Even if he knew that King Xuan was planning a rebellion, he didn’t have any evidence right now, so long as he didn’t make a move, there was no way to deal with him.
“How can I allow an imperial concubine to ignore me when she sees this duke? “Can it be that esteemed wangfei doesn’t even understand the rules?” King Xuan did not plan on letting Shang Yiqing go. Instead, he mocked her with his words.
Shang Yiqing was angered to the point that her eyes flared up. She said, “I don’t understand what King Xuan is saying. I only know that some people have been trying to harm my husband. Of course, I have no good intentions for him. “However, please don’t be too proud yet. Don’t think that others don’t know what you have done. Everyone is well aware of it.”
“This King doesn’t know what Princess Yunfei is talking about. If she has any evidence, take it out and don’t put on an act in front of This King. This King won’t take advantage of you.” At first, King Xuan’s tone was flat, but as he spoke, he almost gnashed his teeth, and the last sentence was laced with a threatening tone.
Shang Yiqing sneered, “Of course you would say that. You keep your secret, and I don’t have any evidence. Even if I say something, others might not be willing to believe it …” “However …” Shang Yiqing dragged out her voice, “People are doing it. The heavens are looking at me. Even brothers and sisters want to make a move, don’t put on such an act in front of me. I, Shang Yiqing, am not a person to be scared of!”
“Since Imperial Concubine Rong isn’t going to hurt him, then this matter will be much easier to handle …” Duke Xuan laughed coldly and said, “Then we’ll see.”
“Good!” I will definitely follow you to the end! ” Shang Yiqing turned around and left with a face full of disdain. Since everyone had said everything, she could only fight. Her only hope was for Fang Zinan to come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, with her little power, she wouldn’t be able to deal with the situation. Forget it, I should head back to the manor to discuss it with Dongfang Hao.
After leaving the palace, they hadn’t gone far when they heard the sound of the hooves of horses in front of them. Then, they heard Dongfang Hao’s voice. “Princess Rong, how’s things going?”
“Dongfang Hao!” Shang Yiqing called out in excitement, but she was still on the streets. She didn’t dare to say it too clearly, so she said vaguely, “Since it hasn’t been done, let’s go back to the House of the Concubine King first.”
“Alright!” Dongfang Hao rode beside Shang Yiqing’s palanquin. When Shang Yiqing entered the palace in the morning, he was worried, so he followed and waited for her to return. After Shang Yiqing entered the palace, he thought for a while and decided that the emperor might not believe his words. This matter concerned the two princes, the Duke Xuan and the Prince Rong. Even if Shang Yiqing did it out of good intentions, would the emperor think otherwise? Just as he expected, when he asked, Shang Yiqing said it was a failure.
Shang Yiqing had clearly heard from the carriage that Dongfang Hao had come, so she asked, “Prince Qi, why are you here?”
“I was afraid you’d be in danger on the way.” Dongfang Hao replied. King Xuan was a man of many tricks, what kind of things couldn’t he do?
After walking for half an hour, they returned to the Residence of the Sky Cloud Prince.
Ying Ying had been waiting at the mansion for a long time. When she saw the two return, she hurriedly went to greet them. “You’ve finally returned. I’m really afraid that you’ve met with some mishaps.”
Dongfang Hao smiled and replied, “Of course we’re fine. Ying Ying, you don’t have to worry so much.”
“Ying Ying, are you worried about me or Dongfang Hao?” Shang Yiqing admired herself very much. To think Hou Ziyun still wanted to sneer at Ying Ying. The emperor didn’t believe her, but the truth was the truth. As long as King Xuan didn’t make a move today, then the emperor was safe. If he waited another two days and Fang Zinan returned, things would be much easier.
“You’re making fun of me again, Princess Rong?” Ying Ying spat and pulled Dongfang Hao away. The loving and loving appearance of the two made Shang Yiqing envious. Normally, when Fang Zinan was by her side, Hou Hou would not feel it. Now that Fang Zinan had left, she immediately felt like he was a shadow. Seeing this couple, she naturally had this kind of feeling.
“Yingying, we still need to discuss some important matters with Princess Rong. Let’s go to the study first.” Dongfang Hao had something on his mind. While he was feeling Ying Ying’s tenderness, he didn’t forget the most important matter.
Ying Ying smiled daintily and pointed at Dongfang Hao’s nose, “Of course I know there’s something important that I haven’t done yet! “Let’s go.” As he spoke, he walked towards the study. When Ying Ying had returned from Dongyu Country, she had been staying at the Residence of Prince Rong. Firstly, the two of them had taken care of each other, and secondly, she had been afraid that King Xuan would harass her, so she hadn’t returned to the Xiao Residence.
Shang Yiqing didn’t even have time to drink a cup of tea in her study before she told them what had happened in the palace. She spread out her hands and asked, “His Majesty doesn’t believe me at all. What do you think I should do?”
“Ai!” Dongfang Hao sighed. “Actually, after Princess Rongfei entered the palace today, I thought back and forth and felt that the Emperor might not be willing to believe your words …”
“Why do you say that?” Shang Yiqing was puzzled.
“Think about it, right now, King Ning and King Ding are both crippled. Only King Xuan has the power to fight Prince Rong, and you’re the imperial concubine. No matter what your motive is, the emperor will think that you’ve falsely accused King Xuan because you wanted to eliminate the enemy for him.” At this point, Dongfang Hao faintly smiled. “Even I would think the same way.”
“But I don’t think so! And King Xuan is truly conspiring against us! ” Afraid that Dongfang Hao would misunderstand her, Shang Yiqing reiterated again.
Dongfang Hao laughed even harder: “You don’t have to show me your attitude, Royal Concubine. I know what you’re thinking. But the Emperor may not know what you think. ”
“Then what should we do? Could it be that we can only watch as King Xuan rebelled? ” Shang Yiqing leaned back in the imperial concubine’s chair in disappointment, and asked Dongfang Hao with a pair of eyes.
Dongfang Hao stood up and stood at the window. The La Plum outside the window was about to bloom. The bud was ready to bloom, revealing its tender yellow stamens. Dongfang Hao carefully sized up Hua Rui and said word by word: “Right now, I only know that King Xuan hasn’t made his move yet. If we can delay it for a few days, then the King Rong’s army will return to the Southern Marsh Country. I’m just afraid that before King Rong’s army returns, he’ll definitely make his move!”
“Then your meaning is …” Shang Yiqing reacted immediately, “You mean King Xuan is about to take action?”
“That’s right!” Dongfang Hao nodded: “I think it’ll be in the next two days. He’ll make his move soon.”
“Then what should we do? The Emperor doesn’t believe me? Then, should I go back to the palace and look for the empress to help me convince the emperor? ” Shang Yiqing was filled with regret. Why didn’t she think about it before?
