Chapter 106: Princess Runing is poisoned
The weather was clear in the afternoon and the water was calm without a single wave.
Two official ships were sailing on the Yongjiang River, their destination being the same port. They moved forward side by side, and the waves stirred up by their bows were like two parallel lines extending backwards.
Under the command of General Feng, the official ship on the left once again surpassed the official ship on the right and sailed forward, leaving a long distance. After doing everything, General Feng walked towards the middle of the cabin, followed closely by two guards.
In the second luxurious room in the middle cabin, after taking the pills, King Runan's health recovered well, and his face was ruddy and shiny. At this time, he was leaning back in a solid wooden chair, his head resting on the back of the chair, his eyes looking up at the ceiling, his face looking gloomy and uncertain.
His right hand was placed in front of the desk, with a small piece of paper tightly tucked into his palm. "It's really good. The people surrounded the Ru'nan Palace and burned it down. Everything happened after the arrival of Prince Sheng and his wife. This incident must be related to them. I will definitely make them pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold."
Princess Runing thought of what happened before and felt so angry that she clenched her teeth. She ignored the pain and slammed her right fist on the table. She was so angry that she said, "Father, please avenge your daughter. Princess Sheng, that bitch, humiliated your daughter in public. Now that I am poisoned, it must be her doing. I must kill her."
King Runan had a cold face, "Don't worry, Lan'er, your father will definitely avenge you and make that bitch hand over the antidote. King Sheng is a thorn in the prince's side. This waterway is your father's territory, and they can't escape even if they have wings."
Princess Runing scratched the itchy part of her body with her left hand, with a sinister smile on her fat face, "Haha! Father is indeed thoughtful. I will wait and see their miserable state of being unable to live or die."
After a pause, he said, "But we must keep His Royal Highness Prince Lai. He is the one my daughter has been thinking about most."
"Well, father can spare his life, but if he refuses to surrender, Lan'er must not act on impulse and must know how to make choices when necessary."
"Don't worry, I will definitely convince His Royal Highness King Lai to serve us. If that doesn't work, I will get rid of him. I will always stand by my father's side."
"Well, you are worthy of being my good daughter."
At this time, General Feng's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, we only have half an incense stick of time to reach Nanjiang Wharf. Admiral Xu is already waiting on the shore."
King Runan looked towards the door and said, "I have learned about this. I will have to trouble General Feng to take care of the rest. You must not take it lightly."
General Feng cupped his hands and replied respectfully, "Yes, sir. Everything I asked you to do has been arranged properly. There won't be any mistakes."
King Runan turned his head and looked out the window. "Okay, I understand. General Feng, if you have nothing else to do, please leave first."
General Feng simply replied "yes", handed the letter in his hand to the guard standing at the door, and then turned and left.
……
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the river, making it sparkle. The river water glitters with golden light, as if it is a golden ribbon, flowing slowly. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the river, like a beautiful poem, making people intoxicated.
On the calm river, two official ships were slowly approaching the Nanjiang Wharf. From afar, the sails swaying on the river were like a beautiful ballad, making people feel the unique charm of the Jiangnan water town.
The lights on both sides of the Nanjiang Wharf were bright. Admiral Xu led four or five officials to stand on the steps of the wharf. Each official had a nervous expression on his face. They stood respectfully behind Admiral Xu, standing on tiptoe, looking at the two official ships coming in.
Admiral Xu glanced at the officials and said, "Your Highness Prince Sheng and Prince Runan are visiting today. I will host a banquet tonight. You must not slack off in the slightest."
Several people bowed and answered in unison.
"I know, I will definitely entertain the two princes well."
"Well, everyone is smart, so I feel relieved."
Admiral Xu glanced at the guards and said, "Tonight is an important day. You are not allowed to leave your post without my permission. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."
"Yes, I obey."
Fifty elite guards stood in a row on the stairs on both sides. They stood tall with cold expressions, their right hands tightly gripping the hilts of the swords at their waists, their eyes fixed on the movements on the river.
Half an incense stick of time later...
Two official ships moored at the shore one after another. General Feng was the first to get off the first ship and walked up the steps with big strides. Then the King of Runan and Princess Runing got off the ship. The King of Runan had a serious expression and was as expressionless as a sculpture. Led by two guards, he walked slowly up the steps. Princess Runing was weak and walked slowly behind the King of Runan with the help of two maids. She kept muttering because of the pain all over her body.
"Father, my daughter's body is itchy and I want to die."
King Runan frowned, "Lan'er, bear with it for a while. Father will find an antidote for you tonight."
"It's so itchy and painful, I can't stand it... I can't stand it, father, please kill me, kill me quickly."
"Be good, Lan'er. For your father's sake, bear with it a little longer. Your father will definitely help you kill that bitch."
"Father, please kill me, it's so itchy."
Suddenly, I heard a conversation between a man and a woman behind me. The woman's voice was bright and sweet, and the man's voice was gentle and moving.
"Hahaha! Nanjiang is indeed a great place, with beautiful scenery and fresh air. My mood instantly becomes beautiful."
"Madam, please walk slowly. Be careful not to slip and fall."
"I'm going to walk faster so I can enjoy more of the beautiful scenery before dark."
"Madam, you are naughty. Please let your husband carry you away."
"No, just hold my hand and walk away. It's not good with so many people watching."
Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei held hands and walked side by side behind Princess Runing. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the steps.
"The one in purple is His Royal Highness Prince Sheng, and the one next to him must be the Princess. Both of them are extremely good-looking, and are a perfect match."
"It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Sheng is the most handsome man in the world. Seeing him today, it is true."
Although the voices of discussion were low, Prince Runan heard them clearly and tightened his hands under his sleeves.
Damn it, I will never let you go.
Ze Yi and the ghosts and monsters were keenly aware that the aura around them was too strong, so they all went around to the front and protected Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei behind them. The five of them looked serious and focused, staring at the King of Runan in front of them, as if he were a man-eating jackal or tiger.
Zhang Fan chased after Shangguan Wei from behind, and followed her closely. "Junior sister, I will accompany you to enjoy the scenery. If possible, I will take you shopping tomorrow. To be honest, I know Nanjiang County very well."
"Okay, take me there, brother."
"We won't be free tomorrow. We need to travel."
Situ Chong pulled Shangguan Wei closer, jealousy written all over his face. He glanced at Zhang Fan coldly, his face saying "stay away from us, don't get too close".
A wave of chill came towards him. Zhang Fan stood there with his hands in his pockets, pouting his lips and saying nothing.
Interesting, there is another good show tonight...
Nan Yanqing waved a black leaf fan and walked leisurely behind Situ Chong, looking at Shangguan Wei's slender back with a smile as warm as spring breeze on her face.
Yan Yi and Yan Er followed behind. Yan Yi looked up at Nan Yanqing, shook his head and sighed, with an expression that was hard to describe.
The master has been always looking at Princess Sheng and smiling lately. Alas! Princess Sheng is a married woman, and excessive attention is not a good thing. I am afraid that the master will have feelings that he shouldn't have.
General Feng stood on the steps with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, Prince Runan, Your Highness Prince Rong, the man next to me is Admiral Xu, and he will host a banquet for us tonight."
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng, Prince Runan, and Prince Rong. A banquet has been prepared in the palace. Please follow me back to the palace. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope you will forgive me."
Admiral Xu's smile was very official, and it looked as if it had been carefully trained. Every arc was just right, neither appearing overly enthusiastic nor indifferent. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a row of neat teeth, making people feel that he was very friendly.
Princess Runing became angry when she saw Shangguan Wei, and said irritably, "Father, can you please leave now? You are not feeling well and should not stand for too long. You need to find a quiet place to rest as soon as possible."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Runing farted loudly in public, and everyone present retreated to the sides in shock.
Shangguan Wei covered her mouth with a smile, "Princess Runing really needs a good rest. She needs to let go of her anger for a long time."
"You, you... help me walk quickly."
