Chapter 129: Quarrel (1)
"Ning'er..." She burst into tears and threw herself into Wei Ning's arms. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time that she opened her heart to him, completely without any scruples, and cried like a little girl.
Situ Jing also cried in her brother's arms.
In the hall, only the sound of crying remained...
Wei Ning had no way to describe her feelings, because the road ahead was still difficult and the opponent she was facing was not an ordinary one.
From the few times she had interacted with Regent Mu Zihan, she knew that he was very secretive, both in terms of his strength and his scheming.
I approached him many times but got no useful information.
She was facing an unknown opponent and had no idea what her chances of winning were.
In fact, with her current strength, she could just take Princess Qingtong and leave. If the Qinglong Empire cannot accommodate them , then they can go to another country, hide their identities for a few years, concentrate on training, and then come out. Then they can wait for an opportunity to assassinate Mu Zihan.
But how many people would benefit from this? Without Mu Zihan's suppression, the Duanmu family would definitely take over, and the Fourth Prince would take the opportunity to rise.
She was unwilling to not be able to catch all these people in one fell swoop!
Even with her pride as codename N, she would never allow it!
Wei Ning pursed her lips, without a single tear, but her eyes were colder and deeper than ever before.
Seeing such a look in Situ Yao's eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" The voice of a palace maid was heard outside the hall.
Wei Ning raised her head and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"The Regent invites His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Council Hall."
"Got it. I'll be there soon."
After sending the maid away, Wei Ning lowered her voice and said, "If anyone knew that I was codenamed N, I would be killed immediately, so..."
"Don't worry, Prince. We are sensible about this matter and won't say anything irresponsible." Situ Yao said quickly.
Wei Ning also believed in them. Those who treated them sincerely when the prince was a waste would not betray her at this time.
Princess Qingtong is even less likely to do that.
"Ning'er, you must be careful in front of the Regent. He is a different person from Duanmu Lei. If he notices even a little bit, he will immediately suspect you!"
"I know." Wei Ning nodded solemnly. She had thought about this matter a long time ago and had a way to deal with it. "I will go see the Regent, Sister, I..."
She wanted to take out the prepared abortion drug and give it to her, but then she thought about it and decided to let them calm down first since Situ Yao was there.
So she didn't say anything else and turned and left.
In the meeting hall, Duanmu Lei stood trembling with fear. He didn't know why. The Regent didn't say anything and was very calm, but he still had a fear that a disaster was about to happen.
From the moment he came in, the Regent only asked about some trivial matters between him and the Crown Prince, all about Zuixianlou.
The Crown Prince was obsessed with Concubine Shi, so this matter alarmed many people, and it was normal for the Regent to ask about it.
However, this tone, which was as calm as water from beginning to end, made Duanmu Lei feel a little scared.
Duanmu Lei said anxiously: "The matter of the Fourth Prince involves such a big issue, which shows that they have been ambitious. The Sun family is ambitious and has cultivated so many forces in secret, which shows that they have ulterior motives!"
Mu Zihan listened calmly without commenting.
Duanmu Lei continued, "On the contrary, the prince has no power behind him, and she doesn't seek advancement. I just wanted to test her with the beauty trap, but I didn't expect that she would become addicted after tasting it, and now it's like this... "
