Empress

The plaque on the mansion in front of him depicts the Second Prince's Mansion.The streets are lively and full of life.

On the wall in the distance are engraved with the three big characters of Changtang City, which is already within the territory of Yang County.Rong Cheng turned his head to look at Sun Ting, his eyes were a little more probing.

Sun Ting didn't change his face, he said, "Let's go, I'll show you around." Entering the mansion, there are five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, and the furnishings are magnificent.

Sun Ting was walking ahead, his figure was tall and straight, his bearing was extraordinary, and the servants bowed aside respectfully.This ostentation is by no means like an ordinary person.

Rong Cheng couldn't help feeling suspicious, he narrowed his eyes, and said seriously, "Who are you?"

At that time, Sun Ting told him that he was a businessman and saved him by chance, but Rong Cheng never thought about the clues.Looking at it now, if Sun Ting was really a businessman, he would have been too calm and composed when officers and soldiers came to the inn to search for fugitives.Coupled with the help that night in the woods, the courage and cunning are beyond the reach of ordinary businessmen.

Sun Ting in front slowly stopped, and he turned his head to look at Shang Rongcheng, and a tense atmosphere spread between the two.Sun Ting said with a smile: "Actually, I am the chief manager of the second prince's residence."

Seeing Rong Cheng staring at him suspiciously, Sun Ting smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, feel free to ask someone to ask you." Although Rong Cheng was suspicious, but seeing Sun Ting's calm and composed appearance, he didn't ask any further.

After the two visited the Prince's Mansion, Sun Ting arranged for Rong Cheng to live in a good wing room, and ordered two servants to wait on him.Sun Ting said: "I'll go see the second prince, don't run around in this mansion." Rong Cheng understood the rules, he said: "Don't worry." Sun Ting smiled and left the wing room.When the door was closed, the room fell silent.

Rong Cheng sat on the bed, looked around, always had doubts in his mind, and didn't know where to start.It was night, he had finished his dinner, and not long after, Sun Ting also came back.Rong Cheng asked, "Have you gone to see the second prince?"

Sun Ting said with a smile: "The second prince said, the visitor is a guest, let you recuperate well here, and don't worry about anything else." Rong Cheng nodded, more curious about the second prince in his heart.

After sending Sun Ting away, he rested, no longer having to worry about officers and soldiers coming to arrest him at any time, and finally able to sleep soundly.Xu Shi was so tired that he had no dreams all night.

On the second day, Rong Cheng woke up early, he walked alone in the mansion, and unknowingly walked to the backyard.There are many viburnums in the backyard, and when a gust of wind blows, you can even smell the fragrance of flowers.Rong Cheng asked curiously: "These are all planted by the second prince?" The servant said: "They are all planted by Mr. Sun."

Rong Cheng paused, then turned his head and asked: "Director Sun can plant flowers at will in the mansion?"

The servant's smile stiffened slightly, but after a while, his expression returned to normal, "Sun Boss is very much loved by the second prince, so it's okay." There was no doubt about him, and after seeing enough flowers, he felt bored, so he turned and left.

For several days, Rong Cheng did not see the second prince, but Sun Ting visited him many times.Rong Cheng took a sip of tea: "I've been here for so many days, but I haven't seen the second prince." Sun Ting explained: "The second prince doesn't go back to the mansion very often, he always stays outside." It turned out that he was still a playboy.

Rong Cheng said thoughtfully: "I called you here today to tell you that I want to leave here."

A complex light flashed in Sun Ting's eyes, "Your injury hasn't healed yet." Rong Cheng said flatly, "It's nothing serious, it's almost healed."

Sun Ting patted the back of his hand and advised: "Now that you are wearing a sinful body and you are injured, why don't you stay here for a few more days and leave after the injury is completely healed." Cheng was a little shaken, and when his injury healed, if he really ran into pursuers, he might still have a chance to escape.Rong Cheng hesitated for a long time, then said: "Okay." Sun Ting smiled deeply.

It was night, Rong Cheng couldn't sleep, he went outside to use the toilet, when he came back, there was a faint sound from a distance, like someone talking.

Rong Cheng walked over curiously and looked, the night was hazy, he saw a man kneeling in the front yard, surrounded by many servants, and Sun Ting stood in front of the man, with his back to Rong Cheng, no expression could be seen. "Who sent you here?" Sun Ting asked in a deep voice.

The man was silent, with his head bowed, dressed in black, with his hands tied behind his head.Sun Ting raised his tone, with a hint of murderous intent, "I'll ask you again, who sent you here?" The man remained silent.

Sun Ting's face was gloomy, and his cold voice was like a ghost in this dead night: "Kill it."

Standing behind the tree, Rong Cheng's body froze, and he saw a cold light flash in front of his eyes, the dagger was spattered with blood, followed by the man fell to the ground, making a dull sound.Rong Cheng took a step back, stepped on a branch, and there was a "click", which was extremely clear in this silent night.Rong Cheng's back broke out in cold sweat, and when he looked up, he met Sun Ting's gaze who was looking at this place.Sun Ting waved his hand, the servants dragged the corpse away, and he walked towards Rong Cheng.Rong Cheng's palms broke out in cold sweat, and he stood still until Sun Ting came in front of him.Sun Ting smiled slightly, dispelling the bloodthirsty chill in his eyes, "Why are you up?"

Rong Cheng always felt that his smile didn't go deep, but floated on the surface, exuding a chill, which was quite different from the usual Sun Ting.He whispered: "I'm going to go to the bathroom." Sun Ting nodded, "Have you seen everything?"

"Yeah." Rong Cheng knew that lying was useless, so he asked, "Who is that person?"

Sun Ting said calmly: "It's just a thief. He went into the mansion again and again to steal things. This time he was caught, so naturally he can't stay."

Rong Cheng thought about what Sun Ting said, "Who sent you here", he always felt that this matter was not that simple, and his tone just now, how could he be the steward of the prince's mansion.Seeing that he was absent-minded, Sun Ting said, "It's late at night, I'll take you back to your room."

Rong Cheng stood still, he raised his eyes to stare at Sun Ting, and suddenly said: "You are not a manager, are you?" The two looked at each other, it was dark, and the air was filled with a dangerous atmosphere.After a long time, Sun Ting suddenly smiled, "It seems that I still can't hide it from you." Rong Cheng stared at him, "Who are you?"

Up to now, Sun Ting didn't need to hide it, and said frankly: "I am the second prince." Rong Cheng's face was gloomy, it wasn't too unexpected, he had already guessed seven or eight points from what happened just now.

Sun Ting went on to say: "Actually, you are not some poor and vicious fugitive, but the emperor's male favourite, whose real name is Rong Cheng, right?" Rong Cheng's face was not very good-looking, "Have you checked me?"

"Yes." Sun Ting said without changing his face: "The officers and soldiers came to check on that day, so I asked the young man accompanying me to find out the news." After he learned the identity of Rong Cheng, he became more interested in this cold beauty.Rong Cheng said indifferently: "Since you know my identity, you still wanted to save me?"

Sun Ting smiled, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, it's just a simple effort." Rong Cheng was speechless.

Neither of them was honest with each other, so write it off.

Rong Cheng was sent back to the wing by his servants, he was lying on the bed, thinking of what Sun Ting said, he seemed to be in a dream.

I thought Sun Ting was a businessman, but I never imagined that his status is so noble.Although Yangjun is a small country, it is much stronger than him, the king of subjugation.

Thinking of Sun Ting's exhausting effort to save him, Rong Cheng had a bad premonition in his heart, wrapped in thick fog, unable to drive away, unable to see clearly the filth underneath.The next day, everything was calm.

Rong Cheng looked at the big sun outside, and the scene of last night appeared in his mind, it seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.He went out of the wing to look for Sun Ting, but was stopped at the door of the study.The servant said, the second prince has gone out.

Rong Cheng glanced at the closed door, "When will he come back?" The servant shook his head, expressing he didn't know.Rongcheng had no choice but to go back to his room.

For several days, Sun Ting did not show up. Every time Rong Cheng went to look for him, the second prince either left the mansion or went there. Once Rong Cheng was about to leave the mansion, but was stopped by the guard at the door, and the order did not mean the second prince. He can't go out.Only then did Rong Cheng realize that he was under house arrest.

On the fifteenth day, there were continuous clouds, and it was hard to tell which day it was, and there was an illusion that a storm was coming. With a "squeak", the door suddenly opened from the outside, and Sun Ting walked in.

He changed into plain clothes today, his figure is as tall and straight as a bamboo, his eyebrows are like peaks, and the tails of his eyes are raised, revealing a sense of dignity and self-restraint. With such a face, how could Rong Cheng believe that he was a businessman at that time.Rong Cheng looked at him expressionlessly, "What exactly do you want?"

The gentleness of the previous few days is no longer there. There are sharp thorns in the words, like a rose with thorns, which is not attractive.Sun Ting had a smile on his face, "What do you mean?" Rong Cheng said firmly, "You are imprisoning me."

Sun Ting's smile didn't change, "I just want you to recover from your injuries before leaving."

Rong Cheng said indifferently: "My injury has already healed, you should know, there is no need to dismiss me with this reason." Sun Ting stood quietly by the bed and looked at him, his smile faded a little.Rong Cheng looked at him calmly, "What do you want to do, just say it." He is not a three-year-old child, and Sun Ting must have a plan for trapping him like this.

Sun Ting was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Have you heard that my brother is the crown prince?" Rong Cheng frowned slightly, not understanding why Sun Ting suddenly mentioned the crown prince.

Sun Ting said: "Back then, the position of the prince belonged to me, but because my mother and concubine made a mistake and was thrown into the cold palace, the position of the prince missed me and was taken away by my elder brother, but because of this, he regarded me as a thorn in his side. I sent people to assassinate me several times, the man in black you saw in the yard last time was sent by the prince."

Rong Cheng listened quietly, and heard a trace of unwillingness and resentment in Sun Ting's tone.

Sun Ting didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly smiled, "The interesting thing is, my brother is greedy for masculinity, and he always likes to use handsome young men to vent his anger." Rong Cheng's eyelids twitched, "So?"

Sun Ting looked at him fixedly, "Do you still remember what you said at the inn, you owe me a favor?" Rong Cheng's heart sank and he didn't answer.

Sun Ting said: "I want you to help me seduce the prince and assassinate him. After that, I will personally send you away."
