Chapter 619 The Oppressed Twin Brothers 15
As an emperor, Emperor Ning naturally had the ambition to make the world submit, but at the same time he also knew that he might not be able to do it. If he could defeat the State of Chen and unify the Central Plains, he might have to pay with his life for it.
Although Miaojiang, the Western Regions and Ningguo all had trade relations, apart from this, his understanding of them was very superficial.
At this moment, Yun Xin said that the master who taught her Miao skills was unwilling to show off, so he regarded him as a hermit and did not ask any more questions.
Emperor Ning got a packet of medicine powder from Yun Yi and the other two, as well as the recipe for making the powder.
Just feed the powder to mice and then let them bite horses after ten days. No matter how strong the horse is, it will fall to the ground and die suddenly within a quarter of an hour.
It wasn't a very complicated method, so Emperor Ning didn't use it immediately. After all, it was still in the Western Regions. If he wanted to experiment, he had to wait until he returned to Ningguo and let the imperial physician look at the powder.
Two days after handing the medicine powder and prescription to Emperor Ning, Yun Yi and the other two left the Western Regions and headed for the State of Chen, intending to travel around the State of Chen before returning to Jiangnan.
"Brother, there is someone following us." Yun Lang said as he approached Yun Yi, holding the reins.
It goes without saying that those people were definitely sent by Emperor Ning, and their purpose was to track them and find out their true identities.
There is no one who sits on the throne who is not suspicious.
They came from a merchant family but learned the skills of the Miao region. This is the biggest doubt.
"Just treat them as followers and ignore them."
Emperor Ning saw with his own eyes that Yun Xin used a little mouse to knock down a horse. Just for this reason, the guards sent over must have been ordered to protect in addition to monitoring.
Following Yun Yi these days and seeing what he has done, Yun Lang and Yun Xin's hearts have become very strong and they feel that they can accept anything, no matter how stressful or exciting the situation is.
Chen State is located in the north, with a colder climate than Ning State, but the mountains and rivers offer unique scenery.
As they got closer to the capital of the State of Chen, the town became more prosperous, and the news heard in the inn and teahouse also shifted from among the common people to the royal family.
The most important thing about the royal family of Chen State recently is that the ninth prince Chen Jing married Princess Duanning of Ning State by order of the emperor. The two had already held their wedding ceremony half a month ago.
The ceremony was very grand and the capital was bustling for several days. Now, various events related to the ceremony are still the topic of conversation among the people after dinner.
"I heard that Princess Duan Ning of Ningguo is very beautiful. Is that true? The Ninth Prince is very lucky."
"So what if she's beautiful? If you marry a princess from another country, you'll never have the chance to inherit the throne."
"Isn't that perfect? Being a leisurely prince with beautiful wives and concubines, rich and prosperous, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Inside the tea stall, a few people who looked like passing merchants were chatting with the locals, and they were extremely envious of the Ninth Prince Chen Jing.
But in the plot, it was Chen Jing who took the throne.
Although there was no explicit law, in order to prevent the possibility that the future emperor of Chen might have Ningguo blood flowing in his veins, anyone who married a Ningguo princess was excluded from the position of crown prince by default.
For Chen Jing, this situation is not unsolvable. He has two options: one is that Princess Ningguo dies suddenly, and the other is that Ningguo ceases to exist.
In the plot, Chen Jing chose the latter. Although he married Sheng Tang, he was still a supporter of the pro-war faction.
The facts were indeed as Chen Jing had expected. With the unremitting efforts of Yun Lang and several other generals, the capital of Ningguo was captured in three years. Ningguo completely disappeared in the torrent of history, and Chen State unified the Central Plains.
Three months after the State of Chen unified the Central Plains, Chen Jing became the new emperor of the State of Chen. By this time, Sheng Tang had already committed suicide by taking poison.
Both of those roads were taken by Chen Jing.
He ascended the throne and became emperor, but his wife died. This is what a winner in life is all about.
-
"Princess, the servant next to His Highness just came and said that His Highness has ordered that he will not be back at night, so Princess, don't wait for him."
In the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Sheng Tang had just woken up from a nap, and the maid beside him came forward to report.
Sheng Tang nodded casually. She was named a princess and came to marry. There was no love between her and Chen Jing. She didn't mind that he didn't come back.
The only thing that worries her now is her mother who is still in Ningguo Imperial Temple. She doesn't know how she is doing now.
"Princess, His Highness hasn't been home for several days. I heard... I heard them say that His Highness has a mistress outside. Princess, you..."
The maid was more anxious than Sheng Tang about Chen Jing not coming home.
It was because the servants' honor and disgrace were shared with their masters. If Princess Sheng Tang was disliked, those who served Sheng Tang would also have a hard time.
"What he does outside is his business and has nothing to do with me. Since you have followed me to the State of Chen, you should stop talking about your master casually and keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to save you."
When she arrived in the State of Chen, she was a princess and a queen consort on the surface, but in reality she was just a canary trapped in a small world. She had no ability to resist or protect others, and she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried.
Not free, or rather die.
The words of Doctor Wang when he jumped into the sea of fire flooded into Sheng Tang’s mind. He closed his eyes and sighed.
She wanted to use death to escape the shackles that bound her, but she was worried about her mother, and also, she was... afraid of death.
Sheng Tang knew that Chen Jing had been outside these days and was not having a mistress as rumored by the outside world.
When he came back, there was no smell of makeup on his body, but instead a bloody and murderous smell.
When Sheng Tang met Chen Jing for the first time, he knew that he was not a fish that would stay content in the pond. He wanted to be a dragon that soars into the sky, and he was working hard for it.
Such a person will not allow himself to indulge in love affairs.
"Princess, it's bad. It's bad. The prince has been murdered."
In the evening, Sheng Tang was preparing to have dinner when he suddenly heard a servant shouting outside.
Before he could ask in detail, the servant had already run to her, panting and saying, "When the prince was returning to the city, he was kidnapped by a masked man in black. When we found the prince in the forest, he was already dying."
Killed? Dying?
Is this Chen Jing's plan to deal with his brothers?
This was the first thought that popped up in Sheng Tang's mind, but as the wife in public, she still pretended to be concerned and asked, "Where is the prince now? How is the situation?"
"The prince has been sent to the palace. All the doctors have entered the palace overnight. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he's in danger. Your Majesty and Your Majesty have ordered me to bring the princess to the palace. This may be... this may be the last time we see each other."
Sheng Tang was shocked when he heard this, and for a moment he was unsure, was Chen Jing pretending or was he really murdered?
