With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 17 The Prince is a Woman 17
A'qi was sitting in the carriage with the curtain slightly lifted. Through the window, she could see a courtyard. The gate was closed and the surroundings were deserted.

This place is remote and quiet, with beautiful scenery, far away from the hustle and bustle outside.

There was no marking on the carriage we took today, and no one noticed that Prince Ning was in this place.

A'qi didn't intend to do anything, she just went out to do some business. Suddenly she remembered that there was someone living here, so she asked someone to take a short detour to come and take a look.

"Zhou Yuanjia would come over to take a look whenever he had time, and he would even climb over the wall at night," Ying Fang said. "Those who knew about it in Earl Wei'an's mansion helped keep it a secret, and occasionally they would help him clean up."

"Yeah." Asui responded indifferently. Just as he was about to draw the curtain, there was a movement at the gate of the courtyard.

The door opened and three people walked out.

First there was a stout old woman, then a slender maid, and finally a beautiful woman supported by a maid. Her dress was not white, but very light, which made her look beautiful and delicate. Especially the sadness between her brows made her look even more pitiful and aroused pity.

This woman is the one Zhou Yuanjia holds dearest. She is his cousin Cheng Lingqing, who lost her parents when she was less than ten years old and had to come to the Earl of Wei'an's mansion for shelter. She and Zhou Yuanjia have been childhood sweethearts.

The two developed feelings for each other as they spent time together, and after knowing each other's feelings, they fell in love without hesitation.

Zhou Yuanjia wants to marry Cheng Lingqing but is opposed. The Earl and his wife say that they can take Cheng Lingqing as a concubine, but it is absolutely impossible to marry her because her status is not high enough. Zhou Yuanjia is the future heir of the Earl's Mansion and needs a wife who is of equal status or can help him.

Zhou Yuanjia did make some compromises, thinking that it would be best if he could marry his sweetheart home first.

But Cheng Lingqing didn't want to. She would rather not marry than be a concubine. She told Zhou Yuanjia that this was all her self-esteem. If possible, she wanted to monopolize her lover, but she knew it was impossible, so the only compromise she could make was to become Zhou Yuanjia's wife and not object to him taking a concubine in the future.

It is absolutely impossible to ask her to be a concubine.

Zhou Yuanjia, who was still a little shaken, felt the determination of his sweetheart, and the other party's personality made him even more crazy.

During that time, he swore to marry only Cheng Lingqing in his life, and the Earl of Wei'an's mansion was in chaos.

How could Wei Anbo allow a woman to make such a mess in his family? He quickly arranged a marriage for Zhou Yuanjia, thinking that marrying a wife would make him behave himself. It was just right to marry into the Ning Wangfu.

Zhou Yuanjia was unwilling, and finally Wei Anbo had to use Cheng Lingqing as a threat, and the marriage was settled.

In addition, Zhou Yuanjia also put forward a condition that they should settle Cheng Lingqing well, that they should not interfere in his affairs with Cheng Lingqing, and that they should not make it public. Thus, this small courtyard was built.

The Wei Anbo couple thought Zhou Yuanjia had become honest, but they didn't know that he was still holding a grudge in his heart and hated his soon-to-be wife. They thought that if Ning Yutong hadn't wanted to get married, he wouldn't have been forced to marry her.

He didn't accept his fate, he just compromised temporarily.

When he achieves success and stands above William, he will sweep away all obstacles, and no one can stop him from being with his beloved.

But before that, he still needs to make some preparations to avoid any future troubles.

On the wedding night, he gave Ning Yutong a sterilizing drug during the wedding wine ceremony.

After getting married, he treated Ning Yutong with respect on the surface, but in fact, once he got bored, he would give Ning Yutong some drugs that would make her feel weak. When he went to have fun with his cousin at night, he would also light aphrodisiac incense to make Ning Yutong sleep soundly. In the morning, he would arrange for someone to wake Ning Yutong up and remove all traces.

As time went on, Ning Yutong's health became worse and worse.

Ning Yutong still noticed something was wrong. After a period of time, she guessed the truth based on observation.

However, she did not make a fuss about it, and to avoid smelling those harmful incenses frequently, she always pretended that she was not feeling well.

Zhou Yuanjia thought that it was because of the incense and drugs, and he had no doubts. But he didn't know that Ning Yutong had been preparing for revenge in secret. Because she didn't trust anyone in the Earl's Mansion, and even the maids around her were bribed, she could only slowly look for opportunities. Originally, Ning Yutong was going to do something big soon.

It was precisely because of this that A'qi went to visit in time and sent some people to the other party.

In the client's previous life, Prince Ning was killed for treason, but these married daughters were not implicated. Apart from their marriage relationship, the Earl of Weian's Mansion and Prince Ning's Mansion were not actually very close. Because of Prince Ning's affairs, there was some impact, but not great.

It was because of Prince Ning's accident that Ning Yutong knew she would not live long. As the daughter of a traitor, even if His Majesty did not pursue her, she was no longer useful to the Earl of Wei'an and was still a burden. If Zhou Yuanjia wanted to secretly let her die of illness, no one would object.

Ning Yutong took action, and Zhou Yuanjia also took action, and both sides were quite successful.

Ning Yutong gave everyone in the Zhou family who knew about it a drug that would make them sterile. Because she didn't care about their lives, she didn't try to cover it up, and it went very smoothly.

Zhou Yuanjia gave her a fatal drug, intending to take the opportunity to make her "die of illness."

When she died, the Zhou family became extinct, so it was hard to say who was the winner.

When I came to my senses, there was no one in front of the courtyard gate.

The old woman had incense and candles in the basket in her hand, most likely to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Ah Qi let the curtain fall down: "Go back."

In front of Prince Ning's mansion, the doorman came quickly to greet him when he saw Ah Qi.

"Who's here?" she asked.

In her Ning Wang Mansion, there are not many people who are willing to come to her door openly.

"Your Highness, it's the matchmaker!" the doorman answered happily, his face full of excitement.

Speaking of which, the prince is already 17 or 18 years old, and still has not found a marriage. It's not that no one has set their sights on the Ning Wang Mansion, but those who have such intentions are not qualified. Especially after knowing that his prince is not someone to be trifled with, they have put away some of their thoughts.

Given the current situation in Prince Ning’s Mansion, families with slightly better circumstances do have many concerns.

The matchmaker Li who came today is of a different status, and the connection she is going to make for the prince must not be too bad.

Ah Qi glanced at the excited doorman and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

She has been running around a lot recently, and people who are interested in her or have business dealings with her have been trying to get beautiful women and good-looking men around her.

She accepted it because she thought it was smart. It would be very troublesome for her to find people by herself. After she brought them back and trained them, they could all take their positions.

Of course there are thorns among them, but it doesn’t matter, as thorns can also become loyal subordinates.

As long as she gives enough, all the other party's worries are resolved, and she can find the other party's weakness. Whether it is psychological attack or threat, there is always one method that suits them.

There have been fewer beauties sent to her recently. That's right, all the people who sent them have betrayed her, so there is really no point in sending more.

Aqi felt a little regretful.

The people they give gifts to are beautiful and smart, good-looking and useful, and really hard to find.
