Chapter 184 This is the fate of those who don't listen to him
"When I was an advisor to His Royal Highness Prince Kang, I always regarded Lord Yan as my mortal enemy and a thorn in my side."
"But during those days in the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, when I was trying to get close to Lord Yan, I discovered that he was completely different from what His Royal Highness Prince Kang said."
"He may look cold and cruel, but he actually has a pure heart."
"I began to reflect on whether it was worth it to be loyal to His Royal Highness Prince Kang, who only wanted the throne of the Crown Prince, especially since he had poisoned me for three years."
"I no longer wanted to be his spy and pass on information to him. He felt that I had betrayed him."
"On the day of the Queen's birthday banquet, I went to the palace to give her rouge. His Royal Highness Prince Kang secretly sent a message to me, asking me to go to Haitang Palace, where he would be waiting for me."
"I didn't want to go, but I didn't dare not go. I went to Haitang Palace, and His Royal Highness Prince Kang took me to a dark room."
"In that dark room, the woman was horrified to find that Princess Anyang's maid Lingdang was dead inside. She was lying on the ground in a very humiliating posture, with her lower body naked and covered in blood. It was obvious that she had experienced violence before her death. Her chest was also covered in blood, as if she had been stabbed to death by a sharp weapon."
"The woman was horrified and asked what His Royal Highness King Kang meant."
"He said he wanted to show me what happens to people who don't listen to him."
"He said that he asked Lingdang to come out and give false testimony, accusing Lord Yan of killing Princess Anyang, but Lingdang refused to comply, so he first humiliated her and then took her life."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked again.
Emperor Zhaoqing, Prince An, and Zhan Zhan were shocked that things had turned out like this.
Chi Feng was shocked by this woman's brain.
Yan Mobai pursed his lips, and didn't expect her to say that.
King Kang, whose mute point had been pressed, was also greatly shocked, and naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He shook his head and waved his hands, excitedly denying and accusing silently, his face flushed, veins bulging, and his eyes bloodshot.
No one cares about him.
"So, it was the third brother who killed Anyang?" asked Prince An.
Ning Miao shook her head: "I don't know this, I can't say anything nonsense, I only know that he asked Lingdang to frame Lord Yan."
Prince An was a little disappointed, nodded, and signaled her: "You continue."
Ning Miao continued, "When I was not prepared, His Royal Highness Prince Kang pointed at my acupuncture point. When I saw that he wanted to kill me, I tried to find a way to survive."
"I lied to him and said that I had not betrayed him. It was just that Master Yan was too cautious. I did not dare to contact the outside world easily. In order to gain Master Yan's trust, I pretended to give myself to him and became pregnant with his child."
"His Royal Highness Prince Kang didn't believe it at first, but after he felt the woman's pulse and confirmed that it was pregnancy, he believed it and decided not to kill her."
"He said that he had kidnapped Taoist Priest Qiu and was helping him refine the elixir of immortality. He needed a pregnant woman who was less than three months pregnant to serve as the medicine woman, and this woman would be just the right person for him."
Hearing this, Taoist Priest Qiu, who was kneeling on the ground, was delighted.
The word "掠" is well used.
He was thinking about how to protect himself.
The emperor had high hopes for him, but he disappeared. If he said that he was kidnapped and forced by King Kang, would the emperor believe it?
Now that it comes from another person's mouth, it is more credible.
Ning Miao's voice continued.
"Seeing that he wanted to kidnap me to be a medicine man, I naturally didn't want to. I said that I am now the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion. I clearly entered the palace but didn't leave. The Marquis's Mansion will definitely look for me, and Lord Yan will definitely get to the bottom of it."
"He said, that's easy. We just happened to have Lingdang's body, so we just made it look like the commoner woman was dead. If she's dead, the Marquis' Mansion and Lord Yan will naturally stop looking for her."
"I say that if I die in Haitang Palace, the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion and Lord Yan will never let it go."
"He said that he had thought of a clever plan to retreat in order to advance, which would completely destroy Lord Yan and the Yongchang Marquisate."
"He said that he could take a little loss first. He wanted everyone to think that it was this woman who died, and that he raped and killed her. However, he would not admit it personally. He would always insist that it was Lingdang who died, and that Lingdang was a witness to Lord Yan's murder of Princess Anyang. It was this woman who killed Lingdang to silence her, and then disguised her as herself to frame him."
"He said that even if he was found guilty of killing the commoner woman, the Yongchang Marquisate would hold him accountable, and the punishment the emperor would impose on him would only mean confinement and dismissal from his official duties. The worst punishment would be imprisonment, but his life would never be taken because he is a prince and the commoner woman is just an ordinary person."
"He said that he would take this loss first. When the child in this woman's belly has completed the mission of refining the elixir and this woman is no longer of any use, he would make her public. Then, he would be able to turn the tide."
"The person who died in Haitang Palace was not me, which proves that what he said was true. It was Lingdang who died. It was Master Yan who killed Princess Anyang. I killed Lingdang on behalf of Master Yan to silence her and framed him."
"If the time comes, I will bully the emperor and Lord Yan will kill the princess. I, Lord Yan, and the Yongchang Marquisate will all die."
Hearing this, Prince An couldn't help but marvel.
"Wow, Third Brother has such a great strategy! He retreated to advance, turning himself from a murderer into the biggest victim. Not only did he use the bell and Madam Ning to their full potential, but he also achieved the goal of killing two birds with one stone."
King Kang was so angry that he almost went crazy. He could no longer bear it. He stood up from the ground and was about to pounce on Ning Miao.
Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes and was about to make a move when someone moved faster than him.
It’s Prince An next to him.
Prince An was quick to tap the acupoint under Prince Kang's shoulder blade.
King Kang could no longer move.
King Kang's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at King An, wishing he could eat him alive.
This troublemaker pressed his mute point, and now he pressed his fixed point.
"I know Third Brother is very anxious, but please don't be impatient and wait until others have finished reporting." Prince An said.
King Kang stood there, his chest heaving, his face ugly, and his facial features distorted.
Emperor Zhaoqing glanced at him coldly and signaled Ning Miao: "Continue."
Ning Miao nodded respectfully.
"In order to make the play real and win the emperor's heart, His Royal Highness Prince Kang even scratched his face with a wooden hairpin."
"He said that those with wounds on their faces will not be able to take the throne. This way, everyone, especially the emperor, will not suspect that he wrote and staged this. When the day comes when the tide turns, the emperor will know how much he has been wronged, feel guilty, and compensate him."
"He said that he had a miracle doctor who could heal scars, and that the scars on his face could be healed whenever he wanted."
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Prince Kang, including Emperor Zhaoqing.
The scar on Prince Kang's face is indeed no longer obvious, and it is only a matter of time before it heals.
Emperor Zhaoqing pursed his lips.
Prince Kang was so angry that his face turned horrible. He wanted to appeal to Emperor Zhaoqing, but he could neither move nor speak, so he could only use his eyes.
Emperor Zhaoqing turned away with a sullen face.
Ning Miao continued.
"King Kang had someone take off the woman's clothes and put them on Lingdang. He took two hairpins from the woman and put one on Lingdang's head. He also scratched his face with the other wooden hairpin and put it in Lingdang's hand."
"Then he poured lamp oil on Lingdang's face, set fire to Lingdang, pretended to be knocked unconscious, and ordered his men to take the woman away while everyone was in chaos."
"They didn't go through the palace gate. They would have to check and record it. He had someone take the woman through a secret passage in the cold palace and the Changjiao Palace. That secret passage leads to a forest outside the palace on the outskirts of the city."
