Spoiled Wife - C23
After confirming that the man had really fainted, Shen Qi found a rope and quickly tied him up. Then, he went outside to call the servants and help them transport the man out so that the room wouldn’t be dirty.
Zi Zhu, Zi Li and the others kneaded their sore necks and thought that they had fallen into bed. When they saw a man tied up with all sorts of things, they nearly cried out. did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She was still feeling embarrassed, “Miss, your servant has put down her pillow.” He didn’t even know what was going on.
“Alright, hurry up, get the people out and tie them to the trees in the yard.” Shen Qi waved her hand, signalling for them to hurry up and finish their work.
When Zi Zhu and Zi Li dragged them out, a servant came over to carry them up a tree. Although they were curious about where this man came from and why he had done this, they knew that this wasn’t the time to ask a question. Shen Qi was very satisfied with this training.
“Come out. One of you go to the Main yard and call for Yan Yi, let him handle it.” Shen Qi said after seeing them tie it up.
“Go and shout, little one.” Just as Shen Qi finished speaking, a young servant appeared. He looked to be 13 or 14 years old, and was quite quick-witted.
Shen Qi nodded, “Sure, what is your name?”
“I am called Li Zhu, everyone calls me column.” When the column heard that the wangfei took the initiative to ask for his name, he was very excited. He was a little shy, but his answer was very clear and sharp.
“Alright, hurry up and go. Do you know what to say?” Shen Qi asked with a smile. She was willing to give him a chance, and thinking about his future life, Shen Qi could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart. He still didn’t know where he was.
“This humble one knows, we have caught an arsonist in wutong garden, but I don’t know how to deal with him. column was really a quick-witted person.
Shen Qi laughed casually, “Alright, go on, let’s put it that way.”
“Ai, this lowly one will go now.” After saying that, he ran out, with Shen Qi smiling behind him.
How could the Main yard not know about what happened in the wutong garden? Even so, after hearing the dark guard’s report, the few of them couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
Xiao Mo was the first to react. He opened his fan and smiled happily. “Your highness, your little wangfei is really …” He did not know how to describe Shen Qi, so he could only shake his head and use a fan to cover his face as he laughed.
Duke Xian glared at him unhappily, “How is Yan Er?” He ignored Xiao Mo and turned to ask Yan Yi.
“The progress was quite smooth, but we were unable to find that person.” Yan Yi replied. As for that person, they all knew who he was.
Xiao Mo withdrew the cynicism on his face and squinted his eyes, “He’s really careful.” It was hard to conceal the sarcasm in his voice.
“As expected.” If he was that easy to deal with, the emperor wouldn’t be so fearful of him, and he wouldn’t be so injured as well.
“Then what are your next steps?” Xiao Mo looked at King Duan and asked. He couldn’t possibly continue acting like this, right?
“It’s time for This King to wake up.” King Duanren stood up decisively. With this operation, even if his foundation wasn’t damaged, it would be enough for him to stay alive for a long time. Moreover, according to the man’s degree of caution, he wouldn’t make a move until he was completely prepared.
I won’t give him enough time to prepare. He won’t be so lucky the next time we meet!
Just as they were talking, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard. Yan Yi said in a low voice, “A servant sent by the wangfei.” He then turned around to look at the prince, “Your Highness, how should we deal with this?” This one went to the princess’ bedroom.
Although he knew that everything was under control, that in order to divert the enemy’s forces and direct them behind the scenes, he had deliberately allowed a man to enter the royal concubine’s sleeping quarters so that he could relax the guard of the guard who was following the man in order to catch him in one fell swoop, it was an indisputable fact that a man had entered the royal concubine’s bedroom.
At that time, they only thought that the wangfei wouldn’t be in any life-threatening danger, but they forgot that there were worse things than death. When the dark guards of the mansion made up their minds to go save the wangfei, they saw the fierce kick, and immediately felt the pain of their wangfei’s loss. The stunned dark guards realized that their wangfei had already taken care of the man.
Seeing all sorts of men tied to trees, the guards couldn’t help but admire Princess Hua-Yang, but they still felt a deep regret. They swore that in the future, they would rather offend the prince than the princess, at most, they would only receive hellish training. Offending the princess meant the risk of losing their descendants!
When column saw his own master sitting at the table drinking tea, he suddenly felt that he must have been hallucinating. When he rubbed his eyes, he immediately kneeled down, “Wang, Wang, Wang, Wang, you, you’re awake?” He almost cried tears of joy.
When King Xian saw the servant who he could not call out nearly cry tears of joy after waking up, he immediately felt reassured. So it turned out that he had such high prestige in the Royal Mansion?
In a good mood, it was a rare moment of gentleness from King Duanren. “Rise and speak.”
column immediately noticed the difference in his tone and thought to himself, could it be that the prince has become gentler after losing consciousness for the first time? Normally, a person that was usually cold would actually treat him so kindly. This made him feel like he was floating in the air. What kind of good day was this? First, the wangfei noticed him, and then the prince unexpectedly treated him with gentleness when he just woke up.
But he did not forget what Shen Qi had told him. He immediately repeated what he had told Shen Qi in the wutong garden.
Duke Xian did not show any emotion on his face and instructed Yan Yi, “Yan Yi, go and handle this matter. Take him to the basement and interrogate him for useful information.”
“Yes, your subordinate understands.” Yan Yi did not hesitate, he accepted the order and followed the column.
After Yan Yi’s column left, Xiao Mo looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. “Tell me, what would my little aunt do if she knew that you’re awake right now?” He was younger than King Duanren. According to his grandmother’s words, he should address King Duanren as Imperial Uncle, and Queen’s Consort should be his Imperial Aunt.
The corner of King Xian’s mouth twitched when he heard that. He was used to being called ‘Auntie’ all the time, but hearing him call her this way was still a bit inappropriate. Moreover, it always felt a bit out of place.
He was thinking about how he should get along with his wangfei. Furthermore, he had to clean up the mess this time. The usually omnipotent King Duanren was suddenly having a headache.
“What is it? His conscience had been discovered? Suddenly feeling very sorry for your wangfei and wondering how you’re going to face her? ” Xiao Mo was a capable man, his ability to understand people’s hearts was definitely top-notch.
“What would happen if she knew?” King Xian really didn’t know how to deal with this matter. After all, he had been wronged when he married her, and now he was using her to lure a man into her room.
No matter how ignorant King Xian was, he knew that such a thing was outrageous. What would he do to her if something went wrong? The answer was self-evident. As a dignified King Duanren could not have an unclean woman as his imperial concubine, what awaited her was only death.
Shen Qi could only imagine, that her identity was already destined to never be abandoned or sent to an temple, then there would only be one path, which was the cause of her illness.
knew that he wouldn’t be doted upon by King Duanren, but he didn’t know that King Duanren actually wished for him to die. At this moment, Shen Qi had already rejected all of his previous thoughts, so he decided to move to a side courtyard and spend the rest of his life there.
It would be impossible to leave or be abandoned, because Duke Xian had already woken up. If he wanted to leave me with a chance, let him go when no one knew he was awake, but Shen Qi felt that it was impossible.
How could someone who didn’t even care about their life or death possibly care about how comfortable your life was? Shen Qi had never realized that she was in such a cruel era of imperial power, nor did she hate this era of imperial power more than she did at this moment. Just because they were of the imperial family, they could casually trample over the lives of others? To forsake the will of others and impose such treatment on her.
However, so what if you’re unhappy? So what if it was unfair? This was reality. Luckily, he had never wished for a glorious future. He was here to retire anyway, how could he live?
Shen Qi quickly adjusted her emotions. No one cared, who could she show grievances to? Didn’t she already know about it when she was at Shang Shu Manor?
