The king is a disabled doctor, the court is in chaos, and the princess carries a gun and kills peopl

The white gauze curtain was lowered, and the light in the carriage immediately dimmed.

Nangong Qing, who had just been snuggling affectionately beside Prince Yu, jumped away as if he had been electrocuted and sat down as far away from Li Zhenting.

If she hadn't seen his body with her own eyes, she would have suspected that this man was a little abnormal.

After all, she is a real beauty with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. If she were a normal man, how could he not eat the meat that is offered to him?

It would be a waste if you don't wipe this oil.

What's more, the two of them are now a legal couple. Let alone the desire to touch or talk, even if they do it with real guns and bullets, that would be natural.

But he was as serious as a clay statue, completely different from the man who plowed the fields frantically that night at the palace banquet.

Could it be that he is worried that the awakening of desire will cause the release of toxins in the body?

Well, it is possible. Even ants try to survive, let alone a living person.

To be honest, it seems a bit too much of a loss to just take back the original owner's dowry and get a divorce.

After all, she had saved his life and his reputation; she wasn't some sanctimony. She'd done so much, and it was only right that he should show some appreciation.

"Your Majesty, I have done everything in my power to save your reputation, as you have seen.

After all, the prince and I are getting divorced, so I have to show some appreciation. How about this: before we get divorced, I'll treat your illnesses and manage your palace affairs. In exchange, your Highness will give me five thousand taels of gold."

Although the original owner's biological mother, Fang Yun, was the daughter of the richest man in Great Yan State, and most of the country's wealth was in her hands, she was soft-hearted and foolish. Over the years, Nangong Xun and Xue Yuping had cheated her out of more than half of her wealth, and her strength was greatly reduced.

Furthermore, the original owner had a distant relationship with her biological mother. She had always looked down on her mother's merchant family background and would rather call Xue Yuping "mother" than even look at her biological mother. I'm afraid she had broken her mother's heart.

Therefore, even if they divorce, it is unknown whether Fang Yun will be willing to hand over the family property to her.

As the saying goes, if you have money in hand, you will not be worried.

No matter how rich my parents are, they are not as rich as me. I should take advantage of this period of time to make as much money as possible from Li Zhenting.

Li Zhenting narrowed his eyes and did not answer immediately. For some reason, he felt a little regretful.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to change one's nature, Nangong Qing was an extremely greedy person in his mother's family. He would never go to Fang Yun's house unless there was something important, and when he did, he would ask for money.

For such a greedy and despicable person, we naturally cannot miss the opportunity to make money from him.

"Tsk, what about the prince? What about the second prince? How stingy! Don't you understand the interpersonal relationships? I feel like I'm working for nothing? Do you think I'm just a volunteer?"

Nangong Qing, who did not receive a response from Li Zhenting, rolled her eyes and glanced at him, crossing her arms and muttering to herself.

Damn it, if it wasn't for her freedom, she would have been bored enough to put up with his bullshit!

If she hadn't been concerned about the fact that he was Prince Yu, who was loved by millions of people, she would have just given him some poison and let him pass without anyone noticing. She would then be a free widow and could have legitimately taken over Prince Yu's family business.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. According to her observation, there are still some valuable things in Prince Yu's Mansion.

Judging from the current situation of the Great Yan Kingdom, the only ones likely to be elected as the crown prince are Prince Yu and Prince Qi, as the two are evenly matched in strength.

Prince Yu, with his noble character, immense ability, and distinguished military achievements, is deeply favored by the Emperor and holds the greatest chance of becoming Crown Prince. Unfortunately, Empress Tian died young, leaving Prince Yu without the support of his mother's family and a lack of strength.

Moreover, a tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind. He has made countless enemies in the court.

Prince Qi not only has the support of his biological mother, Empress Lu, but also Empress Lu's brother, Prince Zhenguan, who accompanied the late emperor in founding the country and made great contributions. Now he holds the Red Moon Golden Sword bestowed by the retired emperor during his lifetime. Seeing the sword is like seeing the retired emperor himself, and even the current emperor has to give him some respect.

Even if His Majesty intends to let Prince Yu take the throne, he still has to consider Prince Zhengguan's face. All parties are restraining each other, and he has to weigh the pros and cons, which is really difficult.

Prince Qi was ruthless and merciless, violent and capricious. If such a man became the crown prince of a country, the people would suffer. Given Prince Qi's ruthless nature, he would certainly not let her, the concubine of his former enemy, go after he succeeded.

Even if the divorce goes smoothly, it is not certain that you will be able to live a stable life.

Therefore, even if Li Zhenting was stingy and unwilling to spend money, for the sake of her future life, she had to find a way to help Li Zhenting successfully ascend to the throne of the crown prince.

Seeing that Li Zhenting ignored her, Nangong Qing simply closed her eyes and let her mind wander.

Li Zhenting, who was sitting on the side motionless and calm as Mount Tai, was actually a little confused.

She was a bit difficult to deal with due to her eccentricity. If she was really the type that annoyed him, he would just put her in solitary confinement and out of sight so as not to be bothered by her.

But the problem is, her straightforward personality of daring to speak and act actually has an inexplicable attraction to him, and she really did things to help him.

As she closed her eyes and pursed her lips to rest, the sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a faint halo on her delicate, fair face, making her look even more delicate and naive...

Xuanzheng Hall

The current emperor, Prince Jiajing, and Empress Lu sat firmly on the dragon throne, while Prince Qi, who was sitting on the side, was in a miserable state.

The once fair face was wrapped in a thick white cloth, and blood was oozing from the cloth on the right cheek.

Although the imperial physician had prescribed painkillers, the pain of skin being torn could still be felt from the wound from time to time. His facial features were distorted in pain, and he kept sobbing with his pale lips trembling.

Nangong Yan was in the same miserable state. Known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, Nangong Yan looked utterly miserable. Her left cheek was also wrapped in a white cloth that almost covered half of her face. Blood was dripping onto her gorgeous clothes embroidered with delicate peonies, which looked quite ironic.

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly the matter of Hua Ting being injured!"

"This man's methods are ruthless. Not only did he tarnish Hua Ting's reputation, he also tried to destroy her appearance! Everyone in the Great Yan Kingdom knows that Hua Ting is so focused on helping the emperor that he has no time to marry. How could he possibly have an affair with the concubine of the Nangong Mansion?"

"It's obvious that someone is deliberately framing Hua Ting. Your Majesty, please investigate!"

Empress Lu's face turned green and she almost spoke through gritted teeth.

His biological son Li Huating is related to the honor and disgrace of the Lu family.

Since the late Empress's passing, she has successfully taken control of the six harems. Assisted by her brother, Prince Zhenguan, and the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, Nangong Xun, her son, Li Huating, possesses both civil and military prowess. As long as they can successfully defeat their greatest rival, Prince Yu, Li Zhenting, the crown prince's position will undoubtedly be her son's.

Li Zhenting is now notorious because of the palace night banquet. Now he is poisoned, and with the help of an insider in Prince Yu's Mansion, his notoriety will not last long.

Seeing that the position of crown prince was within his grasp, who could have imagined that such a scandal would happen at this critical moment!

Prince Qi and Nangong Yan were caught sleeping together, and not only were they exposed, but the words "adulterer" and "whorewoman" were also carved on their faces!

This incident spread and became a laughing stock that shook Kyoto!
