Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven
Chapter 140 Mo Yuyunjian Wan Ning 5
At the Jiang Mansion, Xue Fangfei told Prime Minister Jiang that she wasn't really Jiang Li. Prime Minister Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out. Tears of regret blurred his eyes, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Li'er, where are you?"
Xue Fangfei's eyes were dim, and her voice was hoarse and sad. "When I saw Li'er, she was covered in wounds and blood. She told me that she didn't kill her mother and brother, she was wrongly accused. For ten years in the Chaste Hall, she hoped day and night that you would come and take her home, hoping to clear her name. But in the end, this is what she got. She said she hated it so much, so much..."
Prime Minister Jiang's body trembled violently, as if a sharp sword had pierced his heart. His tears burst forth like a flood, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground, splashing teardrops. He covered his face with his hands, choking with sobs as he said, "Li'er, Daddy is so sorry! Daddy really loved you back then! I don't know when Daddy changed, to the point where I don't even recognize myself anymore. Daddy is so sorry!"
Xue Fangfei silently gazed at the man before her, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew the pain and regret Prime Minister Jiang was feeling at the moment, but she could no longer offer any more sympathy or comfort. She sighed softly and turned to leave. However, just as she took a few steps, Prime Minister Jiang's voice came from behind her: "Is she still alive?"
Xue Fangfei stopped, looked back at Prime Minister Jiang, and then slowly shook her head. A trace of sadness and helplessness flashed in her eyes, and then she turned around and continued to walk forward, leaving Prime Minister Jiang alone immersed in endless grief.
Xue Fangfei didn't even turn her head and continued walking forward, but her voice reached Prime Minister Jiang's ears: "She's alive, in the princess's mansion, the eldest princess saved her..."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang was so happy that he burst into tears, his tears falling like pearls. He had never thought that he would see his daughter again and have the opportunity to make up for the debt he had owed her for so many years.
On the other side, Princess Wan Ning sat by the window, holding a piece of lotus cake in her hand and savoring it carefully. Her face was filled with a satisfied smile, and she was obviously very satisfied with this snack.
At this moment, a maid came in and said softly, "Princess, Xue Fangfei is back."
Upon hearing this, Princess Wan Ning immediately put down the snacks in her hand and stood up. Her eyes revealed a hint of anticipation, and she was obviously very happy about Xue Fangfei's return.
"Quick, bring her to me," Princess Wanning said. The maid responded and turned away. Soon, a woman walked in. She looked a little tired, but her eyes were full of determination.
"Princess, everything is ready." Xue Fangfei said softly.
Princess Wan Ning nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction. She walked up to Xue Fangfei and gently held her hand.
"Fangfei, thank you. If it weren't for you, this matter would probably not be successful." Princess Wan Ning said gratefully.
Xue Fangfei quickly shook her head and replied, "Princess, you are too kind. It is my honor to help you."
Princess Wanning smiled and said, "You've worked hard, go and rest. I'll send someone to bring you some snacks later."
Xue Fangfei nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess."
After saying this, Xue Fangfei turned and left. Princess Wanning looked at her from behind and couldn't help but sigh, "Xue Fangfei is also a woman of great talent and beauty. It's a pity that Shen Yurong was blind and missed such a good marriage."
Princess Wan Ning secretly made up her mind to help Xue Fangfei find a good marriage. She wondered if her brother, Prince Cheng, would be able to please Xue Fangfei, or if Xiao Lihua might also be a good choice.
However, Xue Fangfei didn't know that she had just returned to the princess's mansion and she was once again in the princess's thoughts. If she knew about this, she would definitely feel both amused and sad.
Ever since Princess Wanning learned that Xiao Heng was looking for her, she started acting like a child, deliberately avoiding him. As for Shen Yurong, having lost the support of the eldest princess, life was not going smoothly. He had tried to find the princess several times, but Xiao Heng secretly dealt with him each time.
Wan Ning worried that Xue Fangfei would be bored at the Princess's residence, so she sent her to the Treasure Pavilion to keep Xiao Lihua company. Recently, Wan Ning received a letter from her brother, Prince Cheng, mentioning a mutiny on New Year's Eve and urging her to prepare. Wan Ning pondered the matter and decided to feign illness and get a good night's sleep. By the time she woke, her brother would have surely succeeded. However, plans often fail to keep up with developments...
Just as Wan Ning was about to rest, a palace eunuch arrived, saying the Emperor had a request. Helpless, Wan Ning ordered someone to help her change her clothes and summoned Xue Fangfei to the palace. She decided to expose Shen Yurong's murder in court.
When they arrived at the palace, the place was bustling with singing and dancing. Wan Ning half-saluted, then stood up, turned around, and sat down in her seat.
The emperor asked curiously, "Who is the girl behind the princess?"
Wan Ning took a sip of wine and replied, "Your Majesty, you don't want to know..." Then, she glanced disdainfully at Xiao Heng, only to find him staring at her nervously. She couldn't help but smile. She wasn't afraid of the young emperor at all, for no one in the world could detain her through force. Moreover, she had already sent Ah Qing to Prince Cheng's brother and had asked Tong Lao to protect Xue Fangfei and Jiang Li.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the emperor's face. Seeing this, the imperial concubine quickly said, "The princess is dressed so beautifully today..."
After hearing this, Wan Ning's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, but this smile made people feel a little cold. She whispered, "If I wasn't beautiful enough, how could I have returned alive from Dai Kingdom?" When everyone present heard this, the pressure suddenly became low...
The emperor coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Well, today is New Year's Eve, let's not talk about these heavy topics anymore, let's just enjoy the happy time!"
Wan Ning smiled slightly and responded, "Okay, since Your Majesty is so interested, then let's just talk about romantic matters. However, don't you want to know who the woman standing behind me is? She is none other than Prime Minister Jiang's real daughter, Jiang Li, and the county lady is Xue Fangfei, the wife of Scholar Shen. Back then, Scholar Shen actually buried his wife alive. I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this..."
The emperor's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He asked in disbelief, "This is impossible. Why didn't Master Shen recognize her..."
Wan Ning chuckled softly, and with a hint of sarcasm, she slowly said, "Didn't Prime Minister Jiang also fail to recognize his own daughter?"
The emperor frowned slightly, looked at Scholar Shen, and asked in a serious tone: "Mr. Shen, is what the princess said true..."
Shen Yurong's face turned pale. He knelt down with a plop and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, it was the princess who asked me to do this! If I didn't do that, my whole family would die..."
Hearing this, Wan Ning laughed, a clear and pleasant laugh that was also chilling. She said loudly, "Oh, why would I do that? Did I fall for you, Shen Yurong? I am the eldest princess of Dayan. There are so many handsome men in the capital. Why would I fall for you, Shen Yurong? Duke Su, do you think I am right?"
After saying that, Wan Ning looked at Xiao Heng who was standing beside her. Xiao Heng also looked at her, his lips slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile. He raised his wine glass, took a sip of wine, and then said with a smile: "Princess, what you said is right..."
The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine were both very surprised to hear Xiao Heng actually speaking up for Wan Ning. After all, Xiao Heng hated Wan Ning and Prince Cheng, so why would he speak up for Wan Ning now?
