On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

As soon as these words were spoken, fear suddenly arose in the prince's heart.

Ning Luo said again: "In the past, my father, the prime minister, deceived you and deliberately married me to the King of War by mistake. I was able to report the truth to my father because I knew it was a big mistake to deceive you. Therefore, my father was exiled for three years. Qianli, I have never asked for mercy from my father, and I have no complaints."

"When you marry into the royal family, you must be of the same mind as your husband, be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I hope that the princess will also put national affairs first and put the country before the family."

She spoke sincerely, as if she was thinking about them.

"Thank you, Princess Zhan, for your kind words. I still have important matters to deal with, so I'll go back first."

The prince understood as if he was enlightened. He thanked him and immediately turned around and left.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, that secret letter..."

The princess chased him and pulled his sleeves.

The prince turned around and slapped her hard: "Idiot, don't try to hurt me!"

After that, he boarded the carriage and returned to the East Palace without looking back.

He knew now that he had made a big mistake.

Abandon public service for private reasons.

The father has many eyes and ears, and if he rashly came to plead for the Xie family today, he would definitely offend the father.

If those political opponents of the Xie family add fuel to the fire and play him a few books, it will be enough for him to drink a pot of wine.

He wanted to go back quickly and discuss self-rescue strategies with the Grand Master in order to protect himself.

The princess was slapped and fell to the ground stunned.

"Prince...Brother Prince, you actually hit me..."

She whined and howled.

Seeing that the carriage was about to leave, she quickly grabbed her skirt and ran after it.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, wait for me..."

At noon that day, the emperor heard about the princess running back to the East Palace after the carriage.

After the Huangmen Minister reported the conversation between the Crown Prince and Princess Zhan, the Emperor nodded in approval.

"This Princess Zhan is smart and understands the overall situation."

He was thinking about issuing another decree to reward Princess Zhan when the eunuch at the gate of the palace announced:

"Reporting to your Majesty, the Crown Prince wishes to see you!"

The emperor said calmly: "Send him to come in!"

"Yes!"

After the eunuch announced the message, the prince stepped into the palace, lifted his robe and knelt down to worship.

"Long live my father!"

"Get back on your feet." The emperor sat on the high seat and looked over with majestic eyes: "The prince is going to visit the King of War today. Do you know if he is feeling better?"

The prince replied respectfully: "To inform my father, I did not see Prince Zhan when I entered Prince Zhan's palace. He said he was seriously ill and upset and it was difficult to see him. I have asked Princess Zhan to deliver the tonic."

The emperor nodded and asked again: "The Crown Princess has a conflict with you?"

"Yes." The prince suddenly knelt down again, kowtowed heavily, and said firmly, "Please allow me to reconcile with her."

"Why?" The emperor picked up the tea cup and took a sip, showing his composure without getting angry.

"Because she is stupid and ignorant," the prince said bluntly.

"Oh, her uncle is the crown prince, how can he be stupid?"

The prince said solemnly: "She pleads for Xie Qingwu of the Xie family privately, regardless of the laws of the country, and is not worthy of being a crown princess."

The emperor then said: "In the future, I will strictly discipline you. If you don't need to do anything, I will make peace with you."

"I already know about Xie Qingwutong's secret spy, and I will have the three departments to review it."

"Yes."

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"none."

"Go back, studying government affairs diligently is your most important thing."

"Yes, I will retire."

The prince exited the hall, wiped away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

This dangerous chess move of retreating into advancement was taught by the Grand Master.

Although the emperor only said a few words, he revealed that he was going to make a fuss about the Xie family.

Only if Xie Qingwu understands the overall situation and takes full responsibility can he save the Xie family.

It's up to the Xie family to handle this themselves.

The more he pleads for the Xie family, the more severe his father's punishment will be.

When the prince returned to the East Palace, he ordered the princess to be grounded for two months as punishment.

-

The prince sent many gifts, including two boxes each of gold and jewelry, and several boxes of ginseng and deer antlers.

Ning Luo asked Qi Hu to put the things into the warehouse, and after he exited, he would check them himself.

Concubine Lan had brought a lot of jewels before. Yesterday, various aristocratic families brought many valuable gifts to intercede, including night pearls, gold and jade hairpins...

With a thought, Ning Luo put most of the valuables into the space first.

I took a few ginseng sticks and went to the kitchen to make soup.

Xiao Ding waited for an hour before he saw Ning Luo coming with a bowl of soup.
