Chapter 185 No one is worthy of them except each other
"There is a secret passage in the palace connecting to the outside world?" Prince An was shocked.
The same was true for Emperor Zhaoqing.
If there is a secret passage, then what about the safety of the palace and his own safety?
The same is true for Zhanzhan.
There is actually a secret passage. If someone sneaks into the palace through the secret passage to assassinate the emperor, wouldn't he be unable to defend himself?
King Kang is even more so.
What secret passage?
He doesn't even know what the secret passage is!
This also has to be put on his head?
He closed his eyes and felt like he was going crazy.
Chi Feng knew the secret passage, but he didn't expect this woman to use it here.
For the first time, I felt that this woman and my master were a perfect match, and no one else was worthy of them except each other.
He was in awe of this brain and this strategy.
He secretly glanced at his master, and seeing that he also looked surprised, he quickly made himself look shocked.
Ning Miao nodded and replied to King An: "Yes, the entrance to the secret passage is under the bed in a room in Changjiao Palace."
"That man took the woman out of the palace through a secret passage and brought her here. He locked her with iron shackles on her legs, locked her in a cell, and fed her medicine every day."
"Those women too, were all abducted by His Royal Highness Prince Kang's men to be used as medicine men." Ning Miao said as he raised his hand and pointed at the women imprisoned in other cells nearby.
"We women are desperate, and so are those women. We are isolated from the world, we can't get out, and we can't escape. We thought we would die here, but we didn't expect that the heavens would have mercy on us, and the emperor would come!"
When Ning Miao said the last sentence, his tone was excited and even a little tearful.
Emperor Zhaoqing's expression was extremely ugly.
He turned his eyes to King Kang, his gaze grim: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Upon hearing this, Prince An quickly reached out and untied Prince Kang's mute point, but it was only the mute point.
Prince Kang immediately said in a hoarse voice: "Father, this woman is full of nonsense. She is accusing me. The facts are not like this. The opposite is true."
Ning Miao shook his head, looking as if he was being unreasonable.
Then, he spoke to Emperor Zhaoqing with a frank and open face.
"I am the counselor of His Royal Highness Prince Kang. Other counselors, such as Gold, Wood, and Fire, can all testify for me. But Tu is fine. Tu is the woman on the bed of His Royal Highness Prince Kang."
King Kang: "..."
Ning Miao did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "The five of us counselors live in the residential area around Prince Kang's Palace, and all our residences have secret passages leading to Prince Kang's Palace."
"Five counselors, five secret passages. His Royal Highness Prince Kang said that this secret passage can allow us to enter the palace without being spotted by our opponents. It can also be a way for us to leave the palace when he is under house arrest, and to escape in times of danger."
"Everything I said is true. The emperor will know the truth once he sends someone to investigate." Ning Miao kowtowed respectfully.
Prince An couldn't help but click his tongue.
"No wonder Third Brother is here. He must have come out of a secret passage. Third Brother really likes secret passages. The secret passage in the palace was not dug by Third Brother, was it? What is the purpose of Third Brother digging this secret passage?"
"I didn't!" Prince Kang immediately denied angrily: "I don't even know there is any secret passage in the palace, this woman is talking nonsense!"
Ning Miao ignored him and looked up at Emperor Zhaoqing.
"Whether this woman is talking nonsense or not, the emperor can find out by sending someone to Changjiao Palace."
"If it weren't for your Highness's people taking me there, I, a commoner who has never been to the palace, wouldn't even know which direction the cold palace is. How could I know there is a secret passage there?"
King Kang roared, "It was you who killed Lingdang and escaped through the secret passage, and now you are accusing me of this!"
Ning Miao quickly responded: "I escaped from the secret passage and came to your cave. Am I going to take my own life and the life of the baby in my belly to be used as a poison man for you?"
King Kang: "..."
Ning Miao was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to tell Emperor Zhaoqing: "The palace servants can also testify to what happened in Haitang Palace. At that time, when His Royal Highness Prince Kang took me to the dark room, many palace servants saw it."
"After I am brought to this cave, Taoist Priest Qiu can also testify on my behalf."
Taoist Priest Qiu was startled.
No wonder it was said earlier that he was abducted by King Kang. It turns out that they needed to serve as witnesses against each other.
At this point, Prince Kang is about to die, and with Emperor Zhaoqing in front of him, it is of vital importance for him to save his life.
Being able to serve as witnesses for each other is also beneficial to both parties.
So, when Emperor Zhaoqing looked at him, he nodded.
King Kang couldn't believe it: "You..."
Ning Miao did not give him a chance to speak, and raised his voice a bit, and continued: "Besides, I was force-fed the potion, I think the pulse should be able to detect it. The emperor can summon the imperial physician to check it out."
Hearing this, Yan Mobai's heart beat fast and his ears rang for a moment.
Did he give me medicine? Can you call the imperial physician to check?
He looked at Ning Miao in disbelief, trying to get some idea of the truth from her.
Ning Miao didn't look at him.
He clenched his hands slightly under his wide sleeves and forced himself to calm down.
She had said before that he should ignore whatever she said.
It'll be okay, he told himself.
At this moment, King Kang felt like he was about to explode.
Roaring: "That's you putting yourself in the game!"
"Joining the game with your own body?" Ning Miao looked incredulous that he would say such a thing.
"The fetus in my belly is my antidote. I don't have much time left in the three-year period. This child is the only one who can save my life. Why would I risk my life to frame His Royal Highness Prince Kang and become the one who cures him?"
Ning Miao was also very excited when he said these words.
Her chest was heaving, her face flushed red, and there were even tears in her eyes. She looked angry and desperate that her only hope of survival had been taken away by him in this way.
"I just want to live, I just want to survive. Why? Why is it so difficult?"
Prince Kang's chest heaved even more violently, and there was even a hissing sound in his throat.
If he hadn't been acupunctured, he would have killed this woman.
"Father, don't believe her. She just sneaked into the game. She didn't come in on the Queen's birthday. She just came in today. Everyone else in the cave can testify for me!"
Before Emperor Zhaoqing responded, Ning Miao asked back.
"Who were the others in the cave? These women you abducted, or the guards who were responsible for watching over us?"
"If it's the former, the emperor can ask them. If it's the latter..."
Ning Miao paused: "I remember, just now, didn't you say that those guards were besieging you? If they can testify for you that they were besieging you, what else can't they testify for you?"
King Kang was speechless for a moment.
Ning Miao pursed his lips and glanced at the women imprisoned in the cell next to him.
She had noticed earlier that these women were leaning against the iron pillars and looking at them, and she was sure that at this distance, they could hear what they were saying.
Because she was just in the cell, she could clearly hear what they were saying here.
These people hated King Kang so much and wanted to leave here all the time. She was fighting King Kang now, and if they were really questioned, they would definitely help her.
Of course, she wouldn't necessarily be questioned. She just said this on purpose to show her frankness.
The real purpose was just to let Emperor Zhaoqing understand that those guards were Prince Kang's men, so they would naturally speak for him and their testimony was not credible at all.
