Chapter 230 The concubine of the Prime Minister’s Palace VS His Royal Highness the Crown Prince (19)
After Xiao Tao removed the blood-stained gauze on her body and wiped it clean, she was about to apply the congealing lotion on Tang Yu's back.
Tang Yu suddenly stopped him: "Don't apply the medicine yet, just change the gauze."
Momo and Madoka don't know why.
"Master, the injury on the back is serious. If I don't use Ningxiang Dew in time, what will happen to the wound infection?" Xiao Tao was a little worried.
Tang Yu looked at the light elixir painted on his fingernails and narrowed his eyes.
"Let me ask you, is it just because of his status as the son of the middle palace that His Royal Highness has been able to stand as the crown prince for many years?"
Xiao Yuan Xiao Tao frowned in thought, trying hard to think of the meaning of Tang Yu's words.
Xiao Tao suddenly raised her head and her eyes lit up.
"Master, I understand. His Royal Highness has been in the position of the prince for many years. As a superior, it is normal for him to be suspicious. The rocks falling on the rockery today are too coincidental. His Royal Highness will inevitably be suspicious. Although he felt sorry for the master just now, he will also send If someone goes to investigate, His Highness may think that there is a dishonest prince who wants to kill him. His Highness will not let go of any crisis. ”
"And maybe he will come to Yunqing Hall again to confirm! That's why the master didn't apply the medicine, just for..."
Tang Yu looked at Xiao Tao and nodded happily.
Yes, Ning Chen will definitely investigate the rockery matter.
The situation was urgent just now, and it was true that he felt sorry for her during this period of tenderness, but after he calmed down, his doubts were also true.
She just needs to wait for him to come, and she can take the opportunity to gain Ning Chen's guilt again.
Let him never doubt her again and completely dispel Ning Chen's suspicion.
Madoka increasingly confused what her master and Xiao Tao were talking about.
He scratched his head, put down the medicine bottle, and began to think carefully.
——
In the study room.
After settling the government affairs, Ning Chen sat in front of the desk with deep thought in his eyes.
Liu Dequan happened to put the tea cup on the table at this time, carefully observed the expression of His Royal Highness, and then said.
"Your Highness, someone has been sent to investigate the rockery that has fallen. According to my reports, there were rocks falling from the rockery in the garden a few days ago. Since no one was hurt, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not repair it in time. It seems that The rockery rock falling was indeed an accident.”
Liu Dequan didn't quite understand. His Highness just now felt very sorry for Yu Liangyuan in Yunqing Palace.
He even asked the pregnant Crown Princess to take care of a good wife. This meant that the Crown Princess was generous and kind-hearted. If it were the other petty mistress next to her, she would definitely embarrass the concubine in private.
But it had only been two hours before His Highness suddenly sent someone to carefully investigate the situation of the rocks falling from the rockery.
The study was silent, and the silent coercion filled his eyes. Ning Chen looked cold and calm at this time, wearing a black gold python robe, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, with danger flashing in his eyes.
"You said that people have known about the rockery rolling down for a long time, so do you think Yu Liangyuan's servants also knew about it in advance?"
Liu Dequan was shocked and had cold sweat on his head.
He had always known that His Highness was suspicious, but the investigation this time showed no traces of tampering, and how could Yu Liangyuan predict when the rocks would roll down, and there were no traces of anyone hiding on the rockery.
So this is really an accident.
Liu Dequan lowered his head and said, "Returning to Your Highness, after investigation by the secret camp, there is indeed no sign of man-made behavior this time."
Ning Chen tapped his fingers on the table, and the sound made Liu Dequan's heart tremble.
After a while, Ning Chen said, "Yes, it was Gu who proposed that Yu Liangyuan accompany her, and it was you who suggested that she go for a walk in the garden. She didn't say a word at that time, so Gu was indeed suspicious." After saying that, Liu Dequan then He breathed a sigh of relief, but it was obvious that he breathed a sigh of relief too early.
The next moment, I heard Ning Chen, who was wearing an imposing black gold python robe, casually picked up the tea cup, slowly brushed away the floating leaves, and said in a slow voice.
"It can't be that you betrayed me and went to someone else."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Dequan was shocked, his eyes widened, and the hairs all over his body stood up. Cold sweat suddenly soaked the clothes on his back. The cold sweat on his forehead fell down his cheeks, and he had no time to wipe it off.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, his knees hitting the hard floor with a heavy muffled sound.
But Liu Dequan couldn't care less about the pain.
His face was frightened and he was shaking his head, and his voice was trembling.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, this servant has always been loyal to Your Highness. I have been serving His Highness since I was a child. I have never had a second thought, Your Highness!!"
After speaking, Liu Dequan kowtowed violently, his forehead hitting the floor with a banging sound.
Ning Chen's expression was always calm, and he looked calmly at Liu Dequan's embarrassed look as he kowtowed.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
When Liu De's head was bruised and bleeding, Ning Chen slowly spoke.
"Okay, I didn't say anything. What kind of person are you? Don't I still know? I just said it as a joke, but you took it seriously. Get up quickly. Your head is bruised. Don't doubt your employment. , no need to be suspicious, I just believe in you.”
Liu Dequan stood up hastily, his head always lowered.
"Yes, it's all the slaves who misunderstood His Highness's words. The slaves deserve to die."
Liu Dequan also reached out and slapped himself, which was very clear in the empty study room.
Ning Chen continued to look at the Kanyu map, but Liu Dequan was frightened.
Thinking back to what happened just now, he was still frightened. He naturally knew why His Highness said that.
He has always been by His Highness's side and has never spoken to any of his concubines. Today he just felt soft-hearted and felt that Yu Liangyuan saved His Highness from serious injuries. He was extremely grateful, so he said a few nice words.
Unexpectedly, he almost killed himself.
During this period, His Highness the Crown Prince was in a good mood, and there were more smiles on his face. It seemed that he had forgotten his true nature and how suspicious His Highness the Crown Prince was. He spoke to Yu Liangyuan like this, which actually aroused His Highness the Crown Prince's fear.
Liu Dequan wished he could go back to that time, when he would never say this even if he died.
Ning Chen seemed to have been looking at Kanyu Tu, but his thoughts were not here.
He still couldn't avoid suspicion. Many servants knew that rocks fell on the rockery, so did Tang Yu know?
If she knew in her heart that today's so-called beauty rescue hero was just a design, the purpose was to gain his sympathy and guilt.
Then this woman was really too scheming. He never liked scheming women.
And Ning Chen began to wonder whether the injuries on Tang Yu's body were fake. If the injuries were fake, then Tang Yu's plan of suffering would be overturned.
As he said that, Ning Chen felt more and more like he wanted to take a look at the wound in person. Just now, he only felt sorry for Tang Yu, and even when he finally checked the wound, he was too distressed to touch it with his hands.
Ever since he lived in the palace, he had seen countless weird thoughts.
In order to seduce their fathers, those women even cut wounds on themselves, bribed the imperial doctor to pretend to be pregnant, and then deliberately fell down to look like they had miscarried. Such things were not uncommon.
At this moment, he began to suspect that Tang Yu's injuries were also caused by these women.
Ning Chen stood up suddenly, "Go to Yunqing Hall!"
