System: Rescue the Blackened Prince

Chapter 23

Wen Li pushed Wei Ying away from him, and stood up from him.

Weiying's arms were empty, and her face became gloomy.

The door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and Prince Yu, who was wearing a moon-white gown, walked in calmly from the door.Manager Li followed closely behind him, with that expression on the verge of tears.

Wei Ying's icy eyes swept across Prince Yu, and then fell on Mr. Li, "What's going on?"

Mr. Li's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys trembled one by one. Just by hearing the sound, he knew that the prince is in a bad mood now, which means that his days will be very bad in the future.

"Reply, report back to the lord, Prince Yu must see you, I can't stop you." Mr. Li put all the responsibility on Prince Yu with a bitter face.I would rather offend Prince Yu than his prince.

Prince Yu is far away from him, and he can't reach him if he wants to retaliate.Manager Li's little abacus dialed loudly.

Wei Ying's gaze, like the tip of a knife, fixed on Prince Yu again.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the room had not completely dissipated, Prince Yu looked around the study unintentionally, and finally his eyes settled on Wen Li, whose clothes were slightly disheveled and her head was buried.

The gaze on him suddenly became sharper. With a smile on his lips, Prince Yu withdrew his gaze tactfully, and looked at Weiying, "Did I bother you?"

"If I say yes, will you go out right away?" Wei Ying looked at Prince Yu with a cold face, and the meaning of "walking slowly and not seeing you off" in his eyes was very well expressed.

Prince Yu gave a low laugh and sighed: "Nephew, you never talked to Uncle Huang like this before."

Weiying snorted, and said coldly: "I was young at that time, and I was not sensible."

Prince Yu: "..."

Sighing heavily, Prince Yu's eyes were full of regret, "You were obviously very cute before."

Wei Ying frowned impatiently, "Uncle Huang, if you want to reminisce about the old days, you should go to the prince. He has been stupid for ten years, and you should be able to chat easily."

Prince Yu: "..."

Mr. Li, who was huddling in a corner, trying to minimize his sense of presence, quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Wen Li looked at Manager Li sympathetically, judging from the amount of venom on Wei Ying's tongue just now, Manager Li's year-end award must have been for nothing.

Giving up the idea of ​​continuing to chat with Weiying, no, it should be said that he shouldn't have such self-abuse thoughts in the first place, Prince Yu took a breath, and said to Weiying: "A few days ago at the horse training ground, I heard that there was an assassin Assassinate you and the prince?"

Wei Ying pursed the corners of her lips, and said flatly: "Uncle Huang, you came too late for condolences, and too early for condolences."

Prince Yu: "..."

Weiying must have no friends, right?

There was a stiff smile on the corner of his mouth, and Prince Yu, who had learned from the pain, decided to make a quick decision, "But today I heard that those assassins were actually sent by me."

Wei Ying finally glanced straight at Prince Yu, "Who did you listen to?"

Prince Yu smiled wryly, "Those assassins."

Weiying nodded, "That's probably right."

Prince Yu: "..."

The cold sweat dripped down Mr. Li's forehead, the prince is so ruthless to Prince Yu now, and he will face himself later... He only hopes to leave him a whole body now.

The smile on Prince Yu's face continued to harden, "Nephew, it shouldn't be a coincidence that General Feng appeared at the horse training ground in such a timely manner that day, right? Could it be...you have long suspected that the prince will arrange assassins?"

"What? Uncle Emperor, you said those assassins were arranged by the prince?" Weiying's voice suddenly rose.

Prince Yu: "..."

When did this nephew become so treacherous and cunning?

Perhaps, he really shouldn't disturb other people's good deeds.

Prince Yu struggled to maintain a smile on his face, and said to Wei Ying, "I think, I'd better come back another day."

Manager Li really wanted to cry for him, he had already told him not to come in, he had to wait until he had eaten a stomach full of turtles before he knew how to retreat!The saddest thing is that he can still retreat, what should he do?

Trembling, he sent off Prince Yu, Manager Li really wanted to just leave like this and never look back.But he still has to return to his prince.

Manager Li knelt down on the ground with a smile on his face, trying to make his voice sound cheerful, hoping to infect the prince, "Report to the prince, Prince Yu has already sent out of the palace."

Weiying fiddled with a cherry on the plate, and slowly opened her mouth, "Director Li, how many years have you been in the palace?"

Manager Li's heart skipped a beat. This opening remark is very similar to the opening remark the boss made when he dismissed his employees.Director Li's old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, "Report to the lord, since the palace is built, the servant is inside."

My lord, slaves have hard work without credit!You can't say goodbye!

Weiying nodded, "The rules of the palace, you should be very clear about it."

I don't understand, my lord!
Manager Li's eyes were full of hot tears, "My lord, there are old slaves and young ones, and they all live by the slaves!"

Wen Li shed tears of sympathy for Manager Li, and if he continues to be frightened like this, Manager Li will hang himself in the palace sooner or later.

Weiying raised his eyes, glanced at Manager Li who was curled up on the ground, and said slowly: "Originally, I wanted to reward you for sending the cherries to Ningxiangyuan today. Now..."

Manager Li's heart came into his throat, and he listened to the prince's words with bated breath, "Now, the reward will be withheld first, and the punishment that is not good for you, I will decide after thinking about it."

Manager Li: "..."

The lord is hanging him up on purpose, so that he can feel comfortable in his fear, right?

The prince's heart is too dark!

Manager Li wiped away his bitter tears, kowtowed to thank, "Thank you, my lord."

"but……"

Manager Li's heart that had just been let go hung in his throat again.My lord, can you finish your sentence at once!Scaring people is fun, isn't it!

"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again." Wei Ying's voice was full of displeasure and... threats.

"My lord, don't worry, even if the emperor comes next time, the slaves will definitely stop you!" Mr. Li said utterly loyal.

Weiying was finally satisfied, "Okay, let's go down."

"Yes!" Manager Li was so moved that he burst into tears.

Seeing Director Li leaving like a whirlwind, Wen Li silently lowered her head and glanced at Wei Ying. This person's character is really bad.

Wei Ying raised her head suddenly, and the emotion in Wen Li's eyes was captured by Wei Ying before she had time to change, "Li'er, do you think I did something wrong?"

Wen Li immediately praised dog-leggedly: "It can't be more correct!"

Weiying smiled, pulled Wen Li onto her lap and sat down, wrapping her in her arms, "Then shall we continue with what we just did?"

Wen Li: "..."

Wei Ying licked Wen Li's lips lingeringly, and fed a cherry into her mouth. After the long kiss ended, Wei Ying pulled away from the corner of Wen Li's mouth. The yellow cherry seeds spit in the palm of his hand.

Wen Li's cheeks burned, and now she couldn't look directly at the cherry from the inside out.

Wrapping Wei Ying's neck with both hands, Wen Li asked in a low voice, "What is Prince Yu here for?"

Weiying put the cherry seeds in the palm of his hand into the red lacquer plate beside him, and said indifferently: "Come to find out about me, and sow discord by the way." Unfortunately, the timing was not right.Otherwise, he doesn't mind playing with that smiling tiger for a while longer.

Wen Li thought for a while, then sat up straight, "If the day comes to fight for the throne, the crown prince, Prince Yu, and you, who will the ministers in the court help?"

Wei Ying looked at Wen Li, and pressed a kiss on her cherry lips, "Whoever wins, they will help."

Wen Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "That's right."

Wei Ying hugged Wen Li tightly, hesitated for a moment and said: "Li'er, I heard a news from the palace this morning."

"What news?" Wen Li asked curiously.

Wei Ying paused, and said: "Cheng Liangdi had a miscarriage, the crown prince suspects that the crown princess did it, and has already imprisoned her in the Mingguang Palace."

Wen Li was stunned, "Why does the prince suspect that Wen Qi did it?"

"It is said that on the day Cheng Liangdi had a miscarriage, the Crown Princess went to visit her and brought a box of pastries with her."

Wen Li's eyes twitched, "Is there something wrong with that box of pastries?"

Weiying nodded and said, "It seems so."

Wen Li was silent. Although it was Wen Qi's talent to die, she was not so stupid.She glanced at Weiying and asked, "Is Cheng Liangdi yours?"

Weiying raised her heroic brows, "What do you call me?"

Hearing Wei Yingying's playful tone, Wen Li blushed, "I mean, is she someone you put next to the prince?"

"Not before."

These words made Wen Li smile slightly, "Before?"

Weiying said: "At the queen mother's birthday banquet, we chatted privately."

Was it really that time?Wen Li looked sideways at Weiying, "What conditions did you meet?"

Wei Ying lowered her eyes, "If the prince is abolished in the future and I win the imperial power, I need to protect her well, and..."

Wei Ying stopped here, Wen Li didn't ask any more questions, but just waited quietly.

"And, take her into my harem."

Wen Li lowered her eyes and said nothing.Wei Ying chuckled, and took a bite on Wen Li's delicate earlobe, "Are you jealous?"

Wen Li pursed her lips, "No. But why did she help you?"

"She's not helping me, she's helping herself." Wei Ying said, "Cheng Liangdi is very smart, although her background is not good. She just chose me between the crown prince and me."

The corners of Wen Li's eyes twitched, was Wei Ying just turning a corner and praising herself?But she could understand Cheng Liangdi's desire to seek a safe place in the palace.

Wen Li's eyes flickered, Cheng Liangdi's attributes are very similar to players.Could it be that she got rid of that child by herself and then passed it on to Wen Qi?
"Do you think the crown prince really thinks that the crown princess caused Cheng Liangdi to have a miscarriage?"

Wen Li's question made the corner of Weiying's mouth twitch coldly, "What do you think?"

Wen Li thought for a while, and said, "He may be deliberately paralyzing the enemy, letting the enemy relax their vigilance, and then pursue the victory. Or is it to suppress the Wen family?"

Wei Ying pondered for a moment before saying: "Even if the prince thought it was Wen Qi who did it because of his anger at first, he must have figured it out now. The first point you said is still possible. As for suppressing the Wen family, he has not yet ascended the throne, so there is no need to rush." Suppress the Wen family, besides... there are people in the palace who need the prince to suppress even more."

"En?" Wen Li looked at Wei Ying curiously, the forces in the palace seemed to be more complicated than she imagined, "Who?"

Wei Ying pursed her lips, lowered her voice and said, "Mother's Queen."
