The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

The next day, the clouds and fog cleared, and the sky was filled with golden light. The monks cleared the snow on the mountain road early in the morning.

The weather was even colder after the snow. Rong Heqing still felt chilly even though she was wrapped in Qin Yunxian's cloak. She blew on it and rubbed her hands from time to time.

Liang Changjin helped Su Yuwan out. Su Yuwan was wrapped like a mummy, and even her eyes were almost invisible. Liang Changjin held her and walked down carefully.

Rong Heqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just when she was about to say something, she heard a sound of a wheelchair behind her, and then her sleeve was pulled lightly.

She lowered her head and saw Qin Yunxian handing her a hand warmer. "Here."

The hand warmer was covered with a soft fur cover, which felt warm and comfortable to the touch. Rong Heqing couldn't help but sigh and put his face close to it.

Qin Yunxian curved his lips and said, "Just bear with it for a while, and you'll be fine when you go home."

"Well, thank you, Your Highness." Rong Heqing went down the mountain with him, holding the hand warmer.

There was a row of carriages parked at the foot of the mountain. Qin Yun had one carriage, she had one, and Su Yuwan and Liang Changjin had one.

There were all kinds of food and drinks in the carriage. There was a charcoal cage in the secret compartment, and the seats were roasted from underneath, making them very warm.

Rong Heqing felt drowsy after sitting for a while.

When she woke up, the carriage had already entered the city.

The journey was smooth and nothing happened, which made her a little uncomfortable.

999: [Host, you have become masochistic because of the torture, right? ]

Rong Heqing: [Am I a cheap person? ]

999: […Then what are you looking forward to? ]

Rong Heqing stretched lazily, [I'm not looking forward to it, I just find it strange, Jingwei spent so much time and effort to set up such a big plan, how could she give up so easily? ]

999 thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they know failure is inevitable and don't want to waste their time?"

[It's not impossible.] Rong Heqing nodded and felt the carriage stop. She pushed open the door and saw that the carriage stopped at the Annan Palace.

The driver put the stool in place and said, "Princess, go slower."

Rong Heqing stepped firmly on the ground, but before he could say anything, the door suddenly opened and Rong Qiao rolled out like a ball, repeatedly asking, "Sister - are you okay? Where have you been?"

"I'm fine, shh—" Rong Heqing made a gesture to keep quiet and looked at the carriage in front.

Qin Yun was busy and just watched from the car window.

She stepped forward and asked, "Will Your Majesty return to the palace first?"

Qin Yunxian nodded, glanced at the red mark on her cheek, and pursed his lips.

"I will go back to the palace to change clothes before entering the palace. We will meet in the palace."

Rong Heqing didn't notice anything unusual and nodded, "Okay."

The car curtain was lowered, hiding the fleeting smile on Qin Yunxian's lips.

Guan Zhen waved his hand, and the people from the palace escorted Qin Yunxian's carriage away.

Rong Qiao asked in a low voice: "Why are you with the prince again? What happened last night -"

"Pa!" Rong Heqing knocked him on the head. "Don't let your imagination run wild. We stayed at Linghe Temple last night. It's a long story. Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Yuwan, come here, slow down." Liang Changjin helped Su Yuwan get out of the car, put on her hat, and helped her walk over.

Rong Qiao looked at them curiously, "Where did you pick this person up from?"

"Don't worry about it. I will take them into the palace later. You just stay at home and don't go out unless necessary." Rong Heqing said.

Rong Qiao was puzzled: "Why?"

Rong Heqing patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "Because a big storm is coming soon."

*

Just after noon, the emperor took a nap and was about to go to the palace to relax, but he didn't expect Qin Yunxian and Rong Heqing to enter the palace one after another.

In addition, there is another pair of victims.

Liang Changjin and Su Yuwan knelt in the hall and accused Duke Rong of abusing his power to bully others, accepting bribes, forming cliques for personal gain, and taking human lives lightly.

The emperor was furious. Rong Heqing presented the account book. With all the evidence, it was clear that Duke Rong was guilty. He immediately ordered the imperial guards to search Duke Rong's mansion and put Duke Rong in jail for interrogation.

As for the matter of Jingwei, the two did not say much, only saying that it was an underworld killer organization.

The emperor ordered Qin Yunxian to conduct a thorough investigation and to find out their lair and wipe them out.

This actually suited Rong Heqing's wishes. It would be inconvenient for others to check her progress all the time, making it much more convenient for Qin Yun to be free.

The former court and the harem were in chaos after hearing the news.

The queen immediately sent people to inquire about the situation, but they were all turned away.

The imperial guards found another account book from the Duke of Rong's house, which actually recorded the details of the Duke of Rong's transactions in which he made huge profits by selling illegal salt!

This matter was kept secret so well that even Chen Fang didn't know about it.

This time the emperor was not only furious. He originally planned to spare his life for the sake of the empress and the prince, and only confiscate his property. However, he could not stop Duke Rong since he was eager to die.

Moreover, the confiscation of property made too much noise. No one knew where the news had leaked, and the common people knew about it. Public opinion was boiling, and it was imperative that the government not give an explanation to the people of the world.

Five days later, Duke Rong could not bear the torture and confessed. His confession was presented before the emperor. After reading it, the emperor was silent for a long time and only threw down one word: kill.

After the decree was passed down, the queen immediately came to plead for mercy, but how could the emperor see her in such a rage?

When he didn't see her, she knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. The emperor was furious and punished her to be confined to the palace to reflect on her mistakes. All her allowances were reduced by half, and the power to manage the six palaces was given to the imperial concubine and the virtuous concubine.

In just a few days, there was a great upheaval in the former dynasty and the harem.

The prince could no longer sit still, and knelt outside the imperial study and asked to see the emperor.

The emperor told him to get out, but he refused and just knelt and waited. The father and son waited like this until dark.

The prince knelt in the cold wind for two hours. The eunuchs could not bear to see him do this and tried to persuade him to go back, but he refused.

Finally, Du Man lifted the curtain and came out. He walked up to him and sighed, "Your Highness, please get up. His Majesty wants to see you."

The prince was overjoyed and got up immediately. He had been kneeling for so long that he was frozen all over. When he stood up, his eyes went dark and he almost fell down. Du Man quickly helped him up. The prince gritted his teeth and moved step by step into the imperial study.

The emperor was standing behind the desk. He turned around when he heard the noise and saw his expression, which was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The prince gritted his teeth and knelt down, saying: "Your son greets the emperor, long live the emperor--"

Du Man looked at the emperor's expression. The emperor waved his hand, and he immediately helped the prince up.

"Please sit down, okay..." The emperor gave Du Man a look, and Du Man immediately brought hot tea and placed it next to the prince, then retreated with the palace servants.

"Is it cold outside?" The emperor was calm, without any trace of his previous anger.

The prince stretched his stiff fingers and said in a deep voice, "Cold."

"Then why are you still kneeling outside? Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?"

The emperor glanced at him, without any intention of blaming him, but it made the prince feel sad.

The prince's eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "I am not afraid of harming my health, I am only afraid that the emperor will not want to see me."

The emperor took a sip of tea and asked, "You know why I didn't see you, why do you insist?"
