"Ahem!"
A man"s cough sounded from inside the carriage.
"Shut your mouth." Princess Xinyang said, turning her head at the person.
Xiao Heng fell silent.
“Come up here." Princess Xinyang said to Gu Jiao.
"Oh." Gu Jiao took the red-ta.s.seled spear and climbed into the carriage.
Yu Jin pursed her lips and smiled, "I"ll go prepare some tea."
With that, she got off the carriage.
There were only Princess Xinyang, Xiao Heng, and Gu Jiao left in the carriage.
Xiao Heng was wearing his usual clothes for going out, having been caught halfway by Princess Xinyang. Later, Princess Xinyang came to catch Gu Jiao.
Princess Xinyang looked at the red-ta.s.seled spear in Gu Jiao"s hand with a calm and serious expression, "What? Planning to destroy the nest of those people?"
Xiao Heng opened his mouth to speak.
Princess Xinyang interrupted, "I’m not asking you."
Xiao Heng closed his mouth again.
Gu Jiao blinked her eyes, saying, "Princess Ning"an has fled, hasn"t she? I"ll go catch her."
"You’re treating me like I"m not around, aren’t you? Why must catching her be done by you? At such a young age, why do you have to worry so much!" Princess Xinyang said coldly, reaching out to take the red-ta.s.seled spear from Gu Jiao"s hand. However, she failed when she tried to grab it, looking embarra.s.sed.
"I... I"ll do it." Xiao Heng wrapped his hands around the red-ta.s.seled spear wrapped in cloth and took it from his wife and mother"s hands.
"Hiss..."
It was really heavy!
He almost failed to catch it.
But in front of his wife and mother, Xiao Heng couldn"t show weakness. He calmly placed the red-ta.s.seled spear on his leg.
"Is it heavy?" Princess Xinyang chuckled.
Xiao Heng said nonchalantly, "Not heavy at all. It"s just that the carriage is too small, otherwise I could show you a few moves with it."
Princess Xinyang snorted coldly, "I intentionally let her go that night. I know the people I released. I may not be much help in battle, but I have more than enough to deal with a few enemy remnants. You all just stay home and behave."
Gu Jiao said, "The people from the State of Yan seem to have a way to deal with the Dragon Shadow Guards."
Princess Xinyang harrumphed, "I know, don"t worry."
Xiao Heng didn"t move.
If he didn"t move, Gu Jiao wouldn"t move either.
Princess Xinyang said to Xiao Heng, "What aren’t you moving? Aren"t you going down yet?"
Xiao Heng smiled, "I just wanted to spend more time with you."
Princess Xinyang said to Gu Jiao, "He can"t carry it anymore."
Xiao Heng: "..." Is it really okay to expose your son like that?
Gu Jiao curved her lips, took the red-ta.s.seled spear, and got off the carriage with Xiao Heng.
After Princess Xinyang left, Gu Jiao asked Xiao Heng, "Do I really not need to go?"
Xiao Heng shook his head, "No need. Besides Long Yi, she has four Dragon Shadow Guards. It"s enough to catch one Princess Ning"an."
Princess Xinyang let Princess Ning"an go in order to find out the whereabouts of the people from the State of Yan, and their whereabouts had already been traced by Little Nine. Now Princess Xinyang wanted to know what other cards Ning"an still had.
Princess Xinyang sent two Dragon Shadow Guards and a dark guard from the Princess Mansion to follow Princess Ning"an’s group.
Princess Ning"an was extremely vigilant and circled around in the mountains for a day and night before finally slipping into a seemingly inconspicuous cave.
After that, she arrived at a paradise-like secret camp.
There were a hundred martial experts in the camp.
This should be the nest left by Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing for Princess Ning"an.
Princess Xinyang, along with Long Yi, four Dragon Shadow Guards, and a group of dark guards from the Princess Mansion, stormed into the camp and captured Princess Ning"an.
In addition, a small box was found in a hidden room.
"Open it." Princess Xinyang said to Princess Ning"an.
Ning"an sneered, "If you want to open it, open it yourself."
Princess Xinyang glanced at the wooden box on the table, "Do you think I can"t break it open?"
Ning"an taunted, "Go ahead."
"It seems we can"t just break it open at will." Princess Xinyang said to the dark guard, "Take the box back and open it with the key."
Princess Ning"an"s expression changed.
Princess Xinyang chuckled, "Your key has been remade. Surprised?"
Princess Ning"an looked astonished, "You!"
Princess Xinyang said, "Take her away, don"t bother with any soft confinement, just send her directly to the Heavenly Prison."
Princess Ning"an threatened, "How dare you! I am an imperial princess!"
"Coincidentally, so am I." Princess Xinyang said, looking down at Princess Ning"an who was being pressed to the ground by the Dragon Shadow Guard. "This time, you better not think about escaping again, or I"ll have your legs broken."
All Long Yi heard was——blah blah blah blah, I’ll have your legs broken.
At once, Long Yi rushed over and broke Princess Ning"an"s leg!
Princess Ning"an: "...!!"
Princess Xinyang: "..."
This time, Princess Xinyang didn"t take the person back to the palace but directly locked her up in the prison of the Central Judicial Office.
Later, she took the small box and went to Bishui Alley.
The key made by Gu Jiao had been completed, and indeed, it was capable of unlocking this box.
After opening it, they found that this seemingly simple wooden box actually had a very complex mechanism. If it were forcibly split or pried open, the mechanism would crush the contents of the box.
"Let"s see what Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing left for Princess Ning"an." Gu Jiao said.
"Okay." Xiao Heng took out the contents of the box, which were several account books recording Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing"s dealings with certain officials over the years. "These officials... are all connections left by Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing for Princess Ning"an."
Princess Xinyang paused and said, "These account books are very important. With them, we can blackmail those officials."
Xiao Heng flipped through them and said, "There"s also a treasure map."
Gu Jiao exclaimed, "Is there really a treasure map?"
Xiao Heng chuckled and looked at Gu Jiao, amused. "I"m kidding. It"s silver banknotes, roughly totaling hundreds of thousands of taels."
Gu Jiao"s eyes glowed green.
Princess Xinyang saw Gu Jiao"s expression and pressed her forehead helplessly, "Minister Xing and the others can be exonerated now."
Xiao Heng nodded, "That"s right. We have everything we need now, no need to worry about anything else."
Princess Xinyang stood up, "Ning"an"s crimes should also be made public."
"Princess!" Just then, Yu Jin suddenly came to the door and reported, "The Emperor has awakened!"Raz P."s Thoughts
