Isn’t Chapter 111 a bit of a waste?
After hearing what Princess Shun said, Prince Shun frowned and fell into deep thought.
He knew that what Princess Shun said made sense. This matter was a scandal in the mansion. He looked at Wen as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Then according to your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" asked Prince Shun.
Princess Shun hesitated for a moment.
"Your Highness, this matter should not be made public. We can first detain this person and investigate the matter secretly. If Sister Wen really has an affair with this person, we will make a decision. If someone deliberately framed Sister Wen, we cannot let those people with ulterior motives succeed. After all, there is Jin'er, and Your Highness must always take her into consideration..."
After hearing what Princess Shun said, Prince Shun nodded slightly with a serious expression.
"Just as the princess said, detain this person and interrogate him strictly. But this matter must be kept secret and not let outsiders know. Concubine Wen is under house arrest from today, and no one is allowed to visit her."
Afterwards, the guards took Chen Zicong away and imprisoned him in the dungeon of Prince Shun's mansion.
Concubine Wen's face became paler and paler, and she was extremely flustered.
Princess Shun looked at Concubine Wen's panic-stricken appearance and sneered in her heart.
The best is yet to come?
Before Concubine Wen was dragged away, she turned around and looked towards Murong Jin's room.
I saw that the doors and windows were closed, and the people inside seemed to have not heard the noise outside at all.
......
Shunwang Mansion, Ruiyunxuan.
Princess Shun took the teacup offered by Yu Shu, took a sip, and put it down.
"Princess, why are you pleading for Wen today?"
Nanny Li couldn't understand why the princess was so soft on her today. The prince had clearly decided to kill Wen, so why did the princess let her go?
After hearing Li Ma's question, Princess Shun curled her red lips slightly.
"Plead for mercy? Madam, do you think the prince will understand the Wen family today?"
Hearing this, Madam Li was somewhat puzzled.
"Your Highness clearly believed what cousin Wen said today. The adulterer has already admitted it. How could Your Highness let Wen go?"
Princess Shun raised her eyebrows, her eyes gleaming slightly.
"Hmph, so what? If the prince had followed his will, Wen would have died quietly. But what's the point? No one would know Murong Jin's background. Over time, who can guarantee that Murong Jin wouldn't turn over? It's better to let the prince conduct a thorough investigation, and let Wen die with a clear conscience in the future!"
Aunt Li nodded.
She glanced at Yu Shu quietly and asked again, "Princess, is that princess, no, that Murong Jin, really not the prince's?"
Princess Shun laughed.
"Whether it's true or false, what does it matter now? If the prince believes it, then it's his biological child. If the prince doesn't believe it, then it's true or false."
Nanny Li and Yushu were both stunned.
Princess, what does this mean?
Princess Shun looked at the two people with puzzled expressions and did not intend to explain.
"Well, in a few days, you will know. There are some things that the prince cannot hide even if he wants to."
Humph, Your Majesty's attitude towards Prince Shun's Mansion is already very clear.
She didn't really think that the appearance of Chen Zicong was luck, but someone deliberately sent this person to her.
Seeing that the princess spoke in a relaxed tone, Nanny Li and Yu Shu stopped asking questions. The princess had her own plans, and they just had to obey her orders.
That night, Chen Zicong, who was imprisoned in the dungeon, was subjected to harsh interrogation.
No man can endure the shame of betrayal, let alone Prince Shun.
Princess Shun naturally knew about the commotion caused by Prince Shun.
However, she lazily turned over on the bed and prepared to go to sleep again.
"Yushu, just have someone keep an eye on him. If necessary, have the people around the prince stop him and don't let him die. As for the rest, don't worry about it."
She smiled sarcastically.
The real fun hasn’t started yet!
Liu Mansion.
The third watch.
A black shadow flashed by quickly and soon entered Liu Yunniang's room.
Liu Yunniang was a light sleeper. She opened her eyes the instant she heard the noise. Just as she was about to get up, she heard Xiao Mu's voice.
"Yunniang, it's me, don't be afraid."
Xiao Mu's gentle voice sounded in the darkness.
Liu Yunniang's heart immediately calmed down. In the faint moonlight, she saw Xiao Mu's familiar face.
I saw the man walking towards me quickly, and I could vaguely see something in his hand.
"You really think this is the backyard of your general's mansion. You just come here without any hesitation. Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Being woken up from a sweet dream, Liu Yunniang's tone was not gentle at all.
Xiao Mu felt a little amused, so he walked over quickly and took her into his arms.
"Don't be angry, I missed you so much that I couldn't help it."
Liu Yunniang leaned on Xiao Mu's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. At this moment, the resentment she felt for being woken up by him was lessened a little.
"..."
She glanced at him sideways, what a bastard! He is always good at coaxing people!
Xiao Mu seemed to be captivated by her look, and the memories of that day instantly flooded into his mind.
He lowered his head slightly, kissed Liu Yunniang's ear, and whispered,
"Yun Niang, don't look at me like that. I'm afraid I can't help it."
Liu Yunniang blushed slightly, knowing that what this man said was true. Her body temperature rose a lot at this moment, and she pushed him lightly, trying to distance herself from the two of them.
However, Xiao Mu pulled him back.
"Don't move. I'll just hold you and do nothing. I'll show you something."
Xiao Mu smiled and raised the thing in his hand, which turned out to be an exquisite box.
"This is a gift I found especially for you today. Open it and take a look. You will definitely like it."
As a woman, there is no one who doesn't like to receive gifts, and Liu Yunniang is no exception!
She was about to take the box with joy, but he dodged it, holding his hands in front of her, motioning her to open the lid.
Seeing that he was pretending to be mysterious, she became even more curious and opened it carefully. A dazzling light immediately illuminated the entire room.
"This... this is a night-shining pearl!"
Liu Yunniang said in surprise that she had seen night-shining pearls before, but she had never seen one so huge and dazzling.
In an instant, the room was filled with the light of the night pearl.
Xiao Mu looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
"I know you don't like candlelight at night, nor do you like someone keeping watch at night, so I found this night-shining pearl and gave it to you. From now on, let it accompany you to sleep. It is much more useful than a candle."
After he said this, Liu Yunniang, who was originally feeling somewhat touched, was now in a state of confusion between laughter and tears.
He looked so affectionate, and I thought he was going to say something sweet, but he...
Such a big night-shining pearl is obviously hard to come by. He gave it to him so eagerly just to use it as a candle for himself?
Isn’t this a bit of a waste?
Am I such a spendthrift woman in his eyes?
"Oh? Is this thing easy to make? If I use it as a candle, one might not be enough, right?"
