The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

When Princess Lingxi was brought out of the imperial study through the secret passage by Eunuch Yao, she changed into a new dress.

Although it was not as embarrassing as when she came here wearing gauze, the spots on the thin and transparent cloth still made her unable to raise her head.

"Help the princess take a bath." Eunuch Yao instructed the maids in her bedroom.

"Well!" the maids responded quickly.

But they couldn't make a sound.

Yes, now all the maids in Princess Lingxi’s bedroom are mute.

And all the maids she brought from the northern border disappeared after she walked into this bedroom with pride.

One night two months ago, when Eunuch Yao conveyed the emperor's decree and invited her to Qinghui Garden, she was surprised and delighted.

Qinghui Garden was once where the empress lived. At that time, the emperor and empress were so in love that they wished they could not be separated for even a moment.

So the emperor built this exquisite and luxurious Qinghui Garden near the imperial study. When Princess Lingxi first entered the palace, she brought her maid to visit it relying on the queen's favor.

Now, the Empress has fallen, and the Emperor invites her to Qinghui Garden late at night... It is not difficult for her to understand the deep meaning of this.

She was tired of the hard life in the Northern Frontier, and coming to the Great Zhou was an opportunity she asked for herself.

Who doesn't yearn for a place of luxury and wealth? She has stayed in the capital until now, just to find a suitable marriage among the royal family and dignitaries in the capital.

Although she lost the favor of the queen after Herme's seduction of the deposed prince was exposed, she still had the status of a princess. Even if she could not marry into the royal family, it would not be difficult for her to marry into a powerful family.

But which of these powerful people can compare to the emperor?

Although he was older than her father, he was the emperor after all! The emperor of a country was revered by all.

Even if he was a little older, so what? Moreover, he had always taken good care of himself, and looked no more than 40 years old. In addition, his noble air reduced some of the traces of time.

There is no woman in power in the harem. If she can gain favor one day, even if she cannot get the position of queen, it should not be difficult for her to be named a noble concubine.

So, with her yearning for the future, she dressed up beautifully and entered Qinghui Garden.

The maids who followed her fell limply at the gate of Qinghui Garden as she walked in, and were never seen again.

And she never came out of it again.

Without any reward, she was like an object. When the emperor needed her, she would enter the imperial study through the secret passage covered with a veil.

Or one evening, after she drank the tea brought by Eunuch Yao, she watched the emperor walk into Qinghui Garden from the secret passage with blurred vision and red eyes.

The emperor did not cut off her contact with the northern border.

She completed every letter she sent to the King of Northern Frontier after drinking a cup of tea.

She knelt in front of the emperor in unbearable pain, her face flushed, and begged constantly.

"Report your father's safety. You know what you should write. When you finish, I will grant you your wish." The emperor still looked gentle and elegant, but the evil in his eyes could not be hidden.

She had no choice, the fire burning in her body could consume her at any time.

I only hope that by completing the emperor's orders I can gain his relief, even if I am treated roughly.

The emperor never stayed overnight with her, she was just a tool for him to vent his anger when his eyes turned red.

Occasionally when she was clear-headed, she would think: He is not a normal person.

……

On the fifth day after Wei Shi was imprisoned in the Tianlao, there was no healthy skin or flesh left on his body.

The emperor did not allow anyone to ask him any more questions, and just tortured him endlessly every day.

Mu Rong went to Prince Ning's mansion at night with the news from the palace: "Wei Shi is dying, and the emperor is just venting his anger by ordering people to hang him with ginseng as torture."

Prince Ning Wu Tianxiao had a cold face and said nothing.

He clenched and unclenched his fingers, clenched and unclenched them again.

Before Concubine Wei died, she held his hand and told him: "Leave the palace, Wei Shi can be trusted."

In his young heart, he only remembered that his mother in the palace had never been happy for a moment. Even though he stayed by her side every day, she hoped that she had never entered the palace and never had any ties to it.

But before she left, she still hoped that he would leave here and grow up to be a healthy, happy and normal person.

So she entrusted him to the person she trusted most.

For more than ten years, Wei Shi has always remembered his mother's entrustment.

These days, Prince Ning investigated all of Wei Shi's whereabouts over the past decade or so. He had done almost nothing to harm the interests of the palace. Even though he was already the chief historian of Prince Ning's palace, his life was still hard.

He never hurt Prince Ning, but he betrayed him in the most important matter.

"I want to go see him." King Ning spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

Mu Rong understood, so he didn't try to persuade her, but just said, "I'll arrange it."

……

It was already late at night when I met Wei.

Prince Ning entered the Heavenly Prison wearing a cloak.

Wei Shi had just been pulled out of water torture and was thrown into a dirty dungeon covered in blood.

Through the cell door, he saw the familiar figure.

"Your Highness?" He could no longer crawl and crawled on the ground, his whole body trembling with severe pain.

King Ning nodded, and the jailer opened the cell door.

He walked in slowly and stood in front of Wei Shi.

"It's not me...the red flower in the princess' room...it's not...it's not mine." As he spoke, blood spurted out of his mouth.

"I know." King Ning said calmly, "That was arranged by me."

Wei Shi's body froze. He stared at Prince Ning with wide eyes, "It's you? Then Nanny Wu and the others..."

"It was arranged by me." Prince Ning did not hide anything. "Princess Ning did not have an abnormal fetal position, nor did she have postpartum hemorrhage. Everything was just to make father believe that he would deal with you personally."

"You...know everything?"

King Ning nodded.

"Then Your Majesty... don't you want to know why... why I betrayed you?" Wei Shi seemed to have tears in his eyes.

He had been tortured for five days without shedding a single tear, but now he seemed unable to bear it any longer.

"This prince knows." Prince Ning looked at him, "Not only does this prince know, but my father also knows."

Wei Shi's mouth curled up: "No wonder... No wonder His Majesty's people didn't ask at all these days. Has he believed the prince's explanation? He thought I really disobeyed his will?"

"Not only that, he also knows your dirty thoughts."

“Hehe… Hehe…” Wei Shi laughed, a trace of blood seeping out of the torn corner of his mouth, which looked particularly dazzling. “Got it? This is good, at least someone knows my friendship with her.”

Prince Ning did not speak.

At this moment, he just felt it was ridiculous.
