The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

Ning Hekun did not agree immediately, but it was not difficult to tell one thing from his expression...he was actually tempted.

The staff further persuaded him: "I know that Your Highness is kind-hearted and has some concerns. After all, His Majesty trusts Your Highness very much. This matter may not be without room for twists and turns, but..."

When he said this, the aide couldn't help but lower his voice:

"But besides Your Majesty, there are also Concubine Xian, Prince An, and Prime Minister Cen who are eyeing you covetously. They will not let Your Majesty go easily."

When the aide mentioned Prime Minister Cen, Ning Hekun's eyes darkened and he thought of Chi Chu.

He has not forgotten the culprit who caused him to fall into this situation.

He clenched his fists unconsciously at his sides.

"you're right."

Ning Hekun said in a deep voice: "We really have no other choice."

This incident was so serious that it could be considered treason. Although Ning Hekun could still argue in his heart that he did not have that intention, it did not mean that Emperor Kangdi would approve of this excuse.

Besides, a prince privately made weapons...

It was full of doubts.

It's okay to deceive yourself, but it's a bit difficult to deceive others.

"We are on our way back today, and the guards nearby are not as alert as usual. This is the time for us to act. We should find a chance to pass the news back to the capital, and then act according to the situation."

After several people discussed it, they made the final decision.

The day's journey was exceptionally long. After returning to the capital, everyone not only did not relax, but instead became unconsciously nervous.

Your Majesty, has you found out anything about the Crown Prince's matter?

Although everyone was full of curiosity, Emperor Kang said nothing after returning to the palace. His expression was as unfathomable as ever. In the end, he just ordered that the prince continue to be kept under house arrest.

The meeting was hastily adjourned.

The prince has been active in the court for many years, and the queen's mother's family is also very powerful, so there are quite a few prince's factions in the court.

The investigation is not going smoothly and it may take another month or two to get the results.

During this period, Emperor Kang also refused requests for an audience from the Queen and others, and it seemed that he was determined to find out something.

On the other hand, after Prince An learned the news, he immediately sent a letter back, requesting to return to Beijing.

He was also a little anxious.

While paying attention to the situation of the Crown Prince, Prince An also paid special attention to the situation in the capital before returning to Beijing, and conducted a focused investigation on Prime Minister Cen.

In his opinion, Cen Jinchao would definitely not miss this good opportunity.

He will definitely take action.

But the news that came back surprised Prince An - Cen Jinchao was not investigating the prince's affairs, but was seriously preparing for his own marriage? !

Is it possible that Cen Jinzhao is someone who would take marriage seriously?

Prince An couldn't believe it.

He thought that this was just a trick of Cen Jinchao to deceive the outside world. In fact, he had already made sufficient preparations in secret.

But...whether he was spying openly or secretly, he didn't get any other results.

It was as if Cen Jinzhao, who was full of power, suddenly became love-minded.

Prince An was much older than Chi Chu, and he did not have a very deep impression of Chi Chu. He only knew that Chi Chu was often bullied by his sister and was small and thin.

Can such a person really make Cen Jinzhao fall in love with him?

Prince An said he didn't quite believe it.

He firmly believed that Cen Jinchao must have other conspiracies and tricks, and he needed to go back and check everything out personally.

Coincidentally, the day Prince An returned to the capital, there were only five days left before Chi Chu's wedding.

-

"Your Highness, this is the wedding dress sent by Prime Minister Cen. Please try it on to see if it fits you. If there is anything that needs to be altered, I will go find someone from Prime Minister Cen's residence."

At this time, Chi Chu's small courtyard seemed a bit more lively because it was filled with things needed for a wedding.

Zi Ning ran in holding a long box and spoke to Chi Chu with a happy look on her face.

"Okay." Chi Chu nodded.

As they spoke, the two of them opened the long box, revealing the neatly arranged wedding dress inside. The dress was bright red, and the embroidery on it was exquisite, with lifelike dragons and phoenixes flying in the air. It was said that Cen Jinchao personally found the best embroiderer in the capital to arrange it.

In fact, before this, the palace also provided Chi Chu with some wedding dresses, but those wedding dresses could not compare with the current one in terms of style or details.

It can be seen whether one is attentive or not.

Zi Ning couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Highness, this dress is so beautiful!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sound a lot more relaxed.

The sophistication of the clothes, in a way, also represents how much the man values ​​the woman. A woman of Cen Xiang's level is unique in the entire capital.

When Emperor Kang was the crown prince, he did not use such exquisite wedding clothes when he got married.

And Cen's emphasis on the princess also meant that the servants who came with the princess as dowry would also be treated well, or at least would not be harassed by the servants in the prime minister's mansion.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it is a win-win situation with no harm.

"It's really beautiful." Chi Chu raised his hand and touched the pattern on it.

She was just about to take the clothes into the room to try them on.

Suddenly a little maid came running out.

"Your Highness, someone wants to see you."

ask to see?

After Chi Chu came back, many people wanted to see her for various reasons.

Most people invited her to various banquets, hoping to establish a good relationship with the future prime minister's wife.

Chi Chu also attended several banquets in his spare time and made some acquaintances in the capital.

But recently, as the wedding date is approaching, many people have been very discerning and guessed that Chi Chu will most likely be very busy, so they have reduced the number of times they disturb him.

Especially when there are only four or five days left until the wedding, why would anyone want to see him at this time?

Chi Chu tilted his head slightly in confusion.

"That lady said her surname was Tang, and she said...Your Highness, you must meet her."

The maid added.

When she said the second half of the sentence, even though she was just conveying someone else's meaning, the maid seemed a little lacking in confidence.

I don't know why Miss Tang is so confident.

How could she be sure that Her Royal Highness the Princess would meet her?

Chi Chu frowned when he heard this and shook his head decisively: "No."

"Then your highness, I will go outside to inform the other party."

The little maid turned around and ran outside.

However, not long after, the maid who went out did not come back, but instead a noise was heard coming from the gate of the courtyard.

"I must see Her Royal Highness the Princess today! I have something very important to say to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it may even be related to the safety of the capital!"

Tang Qingyuan's voice was very loud and came from outside.

"Is this Miss Tang from the General's Mansion? How could she be such a person? She made a lot of noise outside someone else's courtyard. People who knew her thought she was asking to see His Highness, but people who didn't know her thought she was looking for trouble with His Highness."

Zi Ning and Chi Chu have been together for a long time, and she has become much bolder in speaking, listening to the noise outside.

I couldn't help but complain quietly.

Chi Chu nodded seriously: "Maybe you are right."

It is possible that Tang Qingyuan is here to cause trouble.

"Your Highness! If you don't see me today, you will definitely regret it!"

Tang Qingyuan was still shouting outside.

"And there's that matter, about our identities... I believe Your Highness, you don't want others to know about it, right? We can sit down and talk about it!"

What she meant by "that identity thing" was actually the matter of rebirth.

To put it bluntly, this was a threat to Chi Chu.

Unfortunately, this kind of threat is not very effective. After all...

Chi Chu was not really reborn.

"Ms. Tang, if you don't leave, we may have to take some coercive measures to ask you to leave." The guard standing at the door said in a deep voice.

Some of these guards are Cen Jinzhao's men, and they all have outstanding abilities.

"...Can you still do something to me?" Tang Qingyuan bit her lip, "Your Highness! Are you willing to be controlled like this? Now everyone around you is Prime Minister Cen's people, right?!"

When she said this, everyone around her was shocked.

Several guards even shouted coldly: "Miss Tang, be careful with your words!"

When Tang Qingyuan saw the expressions of the guards, he not only did not restrain himself, but rushed straight inside, as if he wanted to forcibly break through the defenses outside.

Actually, the heroines of this world are quite reckless in doing things.

Moreover, she has a sense of superiority in many things. That is the confidence that comes from knowing the future. She subconsciously looks down on other people.

Just like now, she naturally thought that Chi Chu was controlled by Cen Jinzhao.

After all, Tang Qingyuan is a lady of noble family and a favorite of the emperor. Although she is not as favored during this period, her status is still not low.

The guards did not dare to stop him too hard, mainly because they were afraid that something might happen and affect the normal progress of His Highness's wedding.

I didn't expect that if I didn't check it out, Tang Qingyuan would actually rush in.

The heroine of the world is the heroine of the world after all, and she has her own unique advantages in many things.

As soon as she came in, she didn't care about anything else and started searching for Chi Chu.

Because time was too tight, Tang Qingyuan did not hesitate and said directly: "Your Highness, I know that you and I have a certain understanding of the future... I think we can talk about cooperation."

What she said was very cryptic, but if one was truly reborn, one would surely understand what she meant.

Cen Jinchao is a very dangerous person. If he really comes to power, the consequences may be really unimaginable!

She believed that as a princess, Chi Chu would be able to make the right judgment.

However, Tang Qingyuan did not expect that Chi Chu looked at her calmly from beginning to end, and although his tone was soft, it was unexpectedly serious.

"I don't think so."

"Why! You clearly know that Prime Minister Cen is that kind of person!"

"Someone like that?"

The little girl seemed to laugh very lightly, but her pupils still appeared dark in the sunlight. Her eyes, which usually looked very cute, now appeared inexplicably scary in Tang Qingyuan's eyes.

"Ms. Tang, have you forgotten? It was you who asked me to marry Prime Minister Cen."

"..."Tang Qingyuan's face turned pale.

She explained weakly: "At that time I didn't know you were the same as me. I thought you were just an ordinary princess."

"I'm just an ordinary princess now. To be honest, I don't really understand what you are saying, Miss Tang." Chi Chu said calmly.

"If Miss Tang is just here to say this, please leave... Breaking into the princess's residence and maliciously stirring up trouble between the princess and her husband - even if Miss Tang is of a special status, it will be difficult for her not to be punished."

The little girl's tone was more serious than ever before, and she looked really angry. Even her usual sweet smile was gone.

Tang Qingyuan: “…”

At this time, the guards outside had also rushed in.

If Tang Qingyuan had not taken into consideration the other party's status as a noble lady, she would probably have been pinned to the ground by now.

Tang Qingyuan wanted to say something. The matter with the prince had not yet come to a conclusion, but it was conceivable that the prince would probably get away with it this time.

She must find new partners to help the prince.

Chi Chu is the person she must test and win over, she can't just leave like this!

Tang Qingyuan thought so in her heart, but the next second she discovered something with some horror - her body was no longer under her control!

She couldn't open her mouth and her feet began to move towards the outside of the yard step by step.

Several guards also breathed a sigh of relief. If Tang Qingyuan went out by herself, they could save some trouble.

A voice in Tang Qingyuan's heart told her that all this was probably related to Chi Chu. She suppressed her fear and looked back.

In the backlight, the little girl's white chin was slightly raised.

Her soft and gentle appearance was not much different from usual, and her expression was very natural. The girl's slender fingers were gently raised, and they kept rising and falling as if she was controlling a puppet.

Tang Qingyuan knew that he was the puppet controlled by the other party at this moment.

She suddenly understood something...

Chi Chu is indeed different from her.

-

What happened in the palace soon reached Prime Minister Cen's residence.

Cen Jinzhao listened to the report from his subordinates with a calm expression, twirled the ring on his fingertips, and couldn't help but smile.

The man leaned back gently in his chair.

"She really calls me that? Prince Consort?"

subordinate:"……??"

It turns out that after all he said, Prime Minister Cen's focus was on this word?

Although it is indeed worth paying attention to, this doesn’t seem to be the most important thing!

"But... the Tang family? I remember they were from the Crown Prince's side, right?" Cen Jinzhao straightened his face the next second, his expression slightly colder, "I didn't want to see blood during this period."

Although he knew Chi Chu would not be afraid, he still couldn't help wanting to give Chi Chu the best.

However, Tang Qingyuan's actions completely touched his sore spot.

He could still turn a blind eye to provoking Xu Shiyin, but going straight to Chi Chu...

Cen Jinzhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that he is not dying fast enough. After my marriage is over... release the previous evidence."

"Yes!"

The subordinate nodded heavily.

-

The five days passed quickly.

The wedding of Prime Minister Cen filled the capital with joy.

Prime Minister Cen's mansion is located in the best area outside the imperial palace. The mansion is large and imposing, but usually it is always deserted, just like Cen Jinzhao himself, cold and aloof.

But today, Prime Minister Cen’s residence is decorated with lights and colors.

There were festive red lanterns hanging outside, and the whole mansion looked joyous.

There were many people gathered at the door to watch the fun. The servants of Prime Minister Cen's mansion were also quite generous this time, throwing prepared copper coins and candies into the air from time to time.

The depressing atmosphere caused by the previous prince incident seemed to be diluted a lot by this happy event.
