The useless princess is causing trouble again

As the night deepens, in the main courtyard of the Runan Palace.

King Runan sat back on the large carved pearwood bed, his whole body emitting low-flow air. A ball of anger burned in his chest, as if he wanted to set the surroundings on fire. His eyes were wide open, and veins on his forehead were bulging, like earthworms wriggling. His teeth were clenched tightly, making a clacking sound, as if he wanted to crush all the anger. His fingers were clenched into fists, and his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, bleeding.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Manager Wei and the old butler kept their heads down and remained silent, fearing that if they spoke carelessly, their lives would be in danger.

King Runan's anger reached its peak and he could no longer suppress his emotions. With red eyes, he roared, "You'd better find the culprit and get all your property back, or I will tear you into pieces, including your family members."

The old housekeeper knelt down with a plop in fear, cursing the thief in his heart that he would die a horrible death and his descendants would be extinct. He prostrated on the ground and cried bitterly, "Master, please spare my family. I have already sent a large number of people to search for the thief. It is difficult to hide all the treasures. I believe that the thief and the treasures will be found soon."

The eyes of the King of Runan were full of suspicion and distrust, as if he was looking at a liar who was trying to deceive him. His eyes narrowed into a slit, and he carefully looked at the old housekeeper, his face full of indifference and distance, "I have given you one day. If you can't find the thief and the property, I will never let you go easily. Your whole family will be chopped up and fed to the wild beasts in the mountains."

The old butler looked at the person in front of him in horror, his body trembling constantly, his eyes full of fear and despair. He tried to say something, but his throat could only make a hoarse sound.

"Please... please don't hurt me... my family. I will catch the thief and get all the property back." He knelt on the ground with his hands and knocked his forehead on the ground repeatedly.

King Runan waved his hand coldly, "Butler Zhou, please leave. You'd better remember what you said. I want to see the result before dark tomorrow."

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

The old butler bowed tremblingly and stepped back, then turned around and walked away quickly.

King Runan turned his eyes to Manager Wei, his face was serious and expressionless, and his tone was cold without a trace of warmth.

"Manager Wei, please explain how the gold turned into stone. You are the only one in charge of the bank. How should I punish you for such a big mistake?"

There was a strong atmosphere of fear in the air. Manager Wei's heart was beating fast, his breathing became rapid, and his mind was filled with all kinds of uneasy imaginations.

"Your Majesty, I found two boxes of stones in the gold that I gave as compensation to Princess Sheng, and then I realized that something went wrong. I don't know where I went wrong, so please spare my life, Your Majesty."

The eyes of King Runan were filled with gloom, and he asked in a deep voice, "Manager Wei, you think I'm a fool just by saying you didn't know. Your failure to supervise me has caused me heavy losses, and there's no need for you to live." He raised his right hand and made a hook shape. The powerful force sucked Manager Wei in. He pinched his neck tightly with his fingers, squeezing his trachea hard.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life and give me a chance to make amends. I will definitely find the gold back."

The fear in Wei Guanshi's heart seemed like an invisible hand, tightly grasping his heart. His face became paler and paler, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he spoke intermittently.

King Runan said in a cold voice, "Your promise is meaningless to me. Go to hell." The strength in his hands became stronger and stronger, and the murderous intent in his eyes filled the surroundings.

"My Lord, please... let me go."

Steward Wei desperately grabbed the King of Runan's right arm with both hands and tried to resist, but his strength was too great and his weak resistance seemed so powerless. Finally, he opened his eyes wide, stuck out his tongue and stopped breathing.

King Runan threw Steward Wei's body on the ground and ordered loudly, "Ming Wu threw him into a mass grave and let wild dogs eat him. Also send someone to follow Princess Sheng. The property I lost must be related to her. Prince Sheng is too threatening to me. Find a way to get rid of him on the way to Beijing."

Ming Wu emerged from the darkness, his posture was straight and hard, his face was very stern, and his eyes shot out sharp light. He bowed respectfully and said yes, then shot out an extremely sharp hook from his left sleeve, hooked the right corner of the corpse's trousers, and walked out with light steps.

In the silent room, only the sound of heartbeats echoed. King Runan raised his head and closed his eyes, and endless thoughts emerged in his mind, like a turbulent ocean, difficult to calm down.

You little bitch, you made me suffer a loss. Just wait and see. I will make you pay back tenfold or a hundredfold.

……

Nanyongcheng Posthouse.

In the main courtyard's wing room, Shangguan Wei sat on a wooden box and sneezed several times, "Ah, ah, what's going on? Who is talking about me behind my back?"

Situ Chong stood in front of Shangguan Wei, his eyes fell on her, and he said gently, "Madam, it's late, we should go to bed early."

Shangguan Wei looked up and met Situ Chong's gaze affectionately. The smile on her face was like the spring sunshine, warm and comfortable. "Well, today's battle of wits and courage is really tiring. I don't want to leave anymore. My husband, please carry me back to bed." She opened her slender hands, pursed her lips and acted coquettishly and cutely.

"Mrs. En, you are tired. Let your husband rub it for you."

Situ Chong's eyes were full of love, as if the person in front of him was the most precious treasure in the world. He stretched out his hands, gently picked the person up, and walked towards the screen.

"No need for massage, let's have a good chat. There are some things I want my husband to know."

"Okay, I'm all ears, but it has something to do with the King of Runan."

Situ Chong gently placed Shangguan Wei on the big bed, then lay flat on her side, resting his head on his hands, with an expression of humbly listening.

"My husband is really smart. He guessed it right at the first try. I discovered the secret of the King of Runan."

"Ma'am, let's get down to business first. We can talk about some things later."

"Please wait a moment, my husband. Let me finish first."

"Madam, be good. We'll talk later."

After Situ Chong finished speaking, he leaned forward and pressed his warm lips against hers. Shangguan Wei's long hair fell on the bed like a waterfall, showing her charming and delicate appearance. Under Situ Chong's lead, they turned from passive to active, and the two hugged each other tightly and kissed each other. Their eyes met, revealing their love and expectations for each other.

The room was filled with a warm atmosphere, with flickering candlelight, pink bubbles all around, and an ambiguous scent flowing in the air.

It's been a long time...

Situ Chong left her soft lips, looked down at Shangguan Wei under him, stretched out his right hand and gently stroked her pink cheek, his eyes revealing affection, worry and blame.

"In the future, if there is anything dangerous, do not act rashly alone, otherwise I will punish you severely."

Shangguan Wei turned over and rode on Situ Chong, pursing her red and swollen lips, "I was very well behaved today, but I accidentally discovered the secret of the King of Runan. This is what happened. My husband, please listen to me..."
