Chapter 047 Pointing People
While Zhao Chunming personally arranged accommodation for Su Qingqing, he also sent someone to deliver the news to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
When the news reached the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Su Xiang was standing in the study of the Mansion with a grin on his face, looking aggrieved and confused.
"I really don't remember it, not at all. I just remember we played dice."
He really only remembered playing dice with the Crown Princess yesterday, and then he drank too much and felt a little dizzy.
I woke up early this morning in Chunjiao's bed. When I woke up, my whole body was in pain as if I had been beaten up. I looked down and saw that my body was covered with bruises.
Chunjiao told him that it was because she drank too much yesterday and played Cuju with that man in the house.
Chunjiao would definitely not lie to him.
All the bruises on his body were caused by the Crown Princess kicking him.
Later, he returned home from the Broken Red Mansion. His mother saw how badly he had become and was so distressed that she cried and interrogated him. He gave up the Crown Princess without saying a word.
Who let that bitch beat him up like this when he was drunk, and even hit him in the face!
With his face swollen like a pig's head, Su Xiang said incoherently: "I didn't expect that person to be the Crown Princess at that time. That was the Broken Red Mansion, a brothel. Who could have thought that the Crown Princess would go to that kind of place?"
Su Yunhe said to the Duke of Zhenguo, "Duke, this must have really been an accident. Su Xiang went to the Broken Red Tower on a whim. The Crown Princess was already there when he went."
The Duke of Zhenguo looked gloomy and stared at Su Xiang with a scrutinizing look, "I remember that when the Crown Princess came to the capital, you went to greet her. Didn't you recognize her?"
Su Xiang naturally would not admit that he went to Suihonglou specifically to block people and take advantage of them.
"My Lord, you are very observant. When I went to pick her up, I didn't even see the Crown Princess, so how could I recognize her? If I had recognized her, I wouldn't have dared to drink and play dice with her yesterday even if I had a hundred guts."
The Duke of Zhenguo knew what kind of person Su Xiang was, but he did not believe all of what he said.
However, no matter how bold and lecherous Su Xiang is, he would not think of doing anything to the Crown Princess.
A scrutiny flashed across his dark eyes, and the Duke of Zhenguo frowned, "How did your family offend the Crown Princess?"
First, the second young lady of the mansion was detained in the prince's mansion by the crown princess.
Immediately afterwards, the third young lady of the mansion was forced to take medicine by the Crown Princess in front of the Empress Dowager.
Then, Su Xiang was beaten like this.
The injuries all over his body were obviously caused by being beaten intentionally.
Su Yunhe and Su Xiang looked at each other and shook their heads. "My Lord, you are wise. There is really no grudge between our family and the Crown Princess. If there must be a connection, it is as the Crown Princess said. The name Su Qingqing offends her taboo."
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at the Second Prince, "What do you think?"
The Second Prince was the nephew of the Duke of Zhenguo and had always listened to the Duke of Zhenguo. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiang Zheng said that the Crown Princess was a tyrannical and domineering person in Zhao State. She once jumped over the moat of Zhao State for a man and could do anything crazy. She probably just simply disliked the Su family."
The Duke of Zhenguo sighed, "I hope so, but this matter involves the Xishan Camp, and I always feel uneasy."
The second prince said, "It must have been an accident. At the time in the palace, the Crown Prince strongly opposed it. Later, when he left the Imperial Garden, he was very angry and left the Crown Princess alone. Many people saw it."
The Duke of Zhenguo twisted his fingers and said, "I'm afraid that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince are colluding to cheat."
The second prince shook his head and laughed, "Impossible. If the Crown Princess Xiang Zheng chose for us was capable of cheating, she wouldn't have come to marry."
Su Yunhe echoed, "Yes, yes, we all know how she became the Crown Princess."
The Duke of Zhenguo was still uneasy, "But she is beautiful after all. If the prince indulges her..."
After a pause, the Duke of Zhenguo frowned and said, "Today in the Imperial Garden, she severely embarrassed the Third Miss of the Rong'an Marquisate. But the Crown Prince didn't say anything at the time, which shows that he was protecting her."
The second prince said, "This is the cleverness of the prince. If the prince did not protect her, she would have been dealt with in a few days just because of her recklessness. If so, wouldn't the prince's mansion be in chaos again? I heard from people over there that the prince wants her to manage the household expenses.
Since the prince wants to use her to reorganize the prince's mansion, the necessary respect will definitely be given to her. The prince has always been calm in doing things and will not embarrass her in public for the sake of the third lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion.
As for the two of them joining forces, that's unlikely.
Even if the Crown Prince is addicted to her beauty, it takes a certain level of tacit understanding to work together to cheat. The Royal Grandmother is not an ordinary person. If you want to cheat in front of her..."
As he said this, the Second Prince looked at Su Yunhe with a smile, "Just as Lord Su said, if the Crown Princess had this ability, she wouldn't have come to marry ."
The Duke of Zhenguo considered it carefully, and finally exhaled and said to the people waiting for news at the door: "Since the Crown Princess wants to play there, just serve her!"
Zhao Chunming's men outside the door were ordered to turn around and leave.
As soon as he left, the Duke of Zhenguo also dismissed Su Yunhe and Su Xiang, and said to the Second Prince: "The matter of the West Mountain Camp cannot be taken lightly. You should personally send more people. The Crown Princess is playing in the camp for a few days, so you should keep a close eye on that place."
The second prince smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandfather, nothing will happen."
After a pause, he twisted his fingers and said, "Yunyun..."
The Duke of Zhenguo raised his eyes to look at the Second Prince, his old eyes showing the hardships of the years, "During the time that Su Yunyun is in prison, don't go to see her. With Su Yunhe taking care of her, she will be fine.
The Emperor didn't say anything about the Queen Mother's failure this time, but he was unhappy in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have beaten Gui Ma to death on the spot."
The emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom was suspicious and difficult to understand .
He appointed a crown prince but was not close to him; he favored the second prince but did not seem to pay much attention to him.
In his hands, the two princes were more like chess pieces to balance the political situation.
The Duke of Zhenguo was scheming for the Second Prince, so naturally he would not let him do anything that would displease the Emperor.
Although the Second Prince was worried about Su Yunyun, he had no choice but to do so. After leaving the Duke of Zhenguo, he immediately arranged for people to keep an eye on the Xishan camp.
At the same time when Zhao Chunming's men brought back the news, Ming Lu and his men arrived at the Xishan camp.
"Sir Zhao, our prince sent me here to protect the queen's safety." Ming Lu saluted towards Zhao Chunming with his fists clasped.
Before Zhao Chunming could answer, Su Qingqing came over from not far away and saw Ming Lu with a worried look on his face. "Guard me safely? A whole camp of soldiers in Xishan Camp is not enough to protect me safely. Do I still need you to protect me? Go back quickly, I don't need you!"
The words that Zhao Chunming was about to say were immediately retracted.
He also didn't want the prince's men to stay.
If the prince were to notice any clues about the Xishan camp, he would have more than ten heads to chop off.
Who would have thought that before he could even refuse, the Crown Princess refused herself.
Naturally, he would reap the benefits of such a good thing.
Ming Lu looked at Su Qingqing in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am just following your orders. Your Highness ordered me to protect your safety."
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes and said, "No need, go back to where you came from and don't get in my way."
After saying that, Su Qingqing turned to Zhao Chunming and said, "Send someone to me. I can't even find the way around the barracks."
Zhao Chunming immediately looked at Ming Lu awkwardly.
Su Qingqing said angrily: "He is just a servant, what do you think he can do? If I ask you to send someone, then send someone!"
After that, he raised his hand and pointed at someone randomly, "Let's pick him!"
A soldier behind Zhao Chunming looked confused, "Me?"
Su Qingqing didn't look at him again, and said casually: "Just you, come with me and show me your training ground."
After saying that, he turned to Ming Lu and said, "Get out of here quickly, don't let me see you again!"
The soldier looked at Zhao Chunming in shock.
Zhao Chunming nodded with a smile, "Go and take good care of the queen."
The soldier received the order and followed Su Qingqing.
Zhao Chunming said to Ming Lu, "Otherwise, you should go back and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How should we wait for His Royal Highness's intention?"
There was no way out, so he had to return the same way with his men in a huff.
Su Qingqing walked a short distance away, and turned to look at the soldier beside her with a half-smile, "Where did you learn the art of disguise, Your Highness? Even I could hardly tell!"
Rong Que, who disguised himself as a soldier: ...
What are you talking about!
What do you mean even you almost couldn't tell?
Are you awesome!
