The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

Because of the internal strife, the Luanzhou tribe was unable to take care of itself and was unable to provoke a fight with the Dali Dynasty.

As soon as Wu Yanhe arrived in Zhenzhou, Ning Rongzhang and his group followed closely.

It's just that the enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. It makes things much easier.

Zhenzhou is the territory of Prince Huai. Ning Rongzhang knows Prince Huai well. He is very stubborn and arrogant.

Since he has been doing business with the Luanzhou tribe for many years, and now that the Luanzhou tribe's protector has come in person to discuss matters, it is impossible for Prince Huai not to put on airs.

That night, several uninvited guests appeared at Prince Huai's mansion.

"Prince Huai, it's been a long time."

Prince Huai narrowed his eyes, waved away the guards in the palace, and chuckled, "Oh - Great Protector! Why didn't you tell us in advance that a distinguished guest was coming?"

Wu Yanhe stood in the shadows. "After all, this is not something that should be done above board. Of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Someone, bring the tea."

There were several snowfalls in Zhenzhou during the winter, but compared with the winter in Luanzhou, the winter in the Dali Dynasty was nothing in the eyes of the people of Luanzhou.

"Prince Huai doesn't seem surprised at all by the arrival of this guardian?"

Prince Huai laughed loudly, "It's no secret that the Luanzhou tribe is in turmoil. The Great Protector is here now. Is there something important?"

The heater in the room was warm. Wu Yanhe sat near the door, feeling hot and cold. He felt his clothes were burning and sweat was oozing from his body.

"Of course, Emperor Dali has blocked the route from the north to Luanzhou, so our previous iron ore route has become obsolete. However, before I came here, I did survey another route to transport iron ore from Xijiang to Luanzhou, which is a good method..."

Prince Huai waved his hand with a hint of coldness on his face, "Alas, the Great Protector must be tired after traveling all the way. In this case, why don't we talk about it another day?"

Don't want to talk anymore?

Wu Yanhe winked behind him and stood up, saying, "Alright, but I don't have a place to stay in Zhenzhou. I'll stay at Prince Huai's mansion temporarily. Your Majesty won't refuse, right?"

"Ahahahaha - of course, of course, this is as it should be, as it should be!" Prince Huai waved his hand, "Come here, take these distinguished guests to the east wing."

On the way, after the maid left, the subordinate said in Luanzhou dialect, "Protector, has something happened, or does Prince Huai want to go back on his word?"

Wu Yanhe twisted the sleeves on his arms and said, "Prince Huai is unwilling to negotiate because he is too ambitious and wants to take the opportunity to raise the price."

"If the Zhenzhou iron ore was not the finest, we might not have to do business with Prince Huai alone."

Prince Huai is an insatiable greedy person. He even dares to make money from national disasters. It is nothing for him to take the opportunity to raise the price.

When the dew gets heavier.

Two people climbed over the back wall of Prince Huai's mansion and made their way into the main room.

The dim candlelight was lit, emitting a faint light, through which the figures of several people standing in the room could be barely seen.

Asan approached the bed and covered Prince Huai's mouth and nose with his hands.

"Uh-uh!"

His breathing was caught off guard and the fear of dying suddenly spread throughout his body. Ah San gradually left him a tiny gap to breathe and raised his hand to signal him not to speak.

Prince Huai struggled to sit up from the bed, and a ball of cloth was stuffed in his mouth. The noise woke up the woman sleeping next to him. The woman, with her eyes hazy, saw a cold-faced man. She opened her mouth to shout, and a ball of cloth was also stuffed in her mouth.

"Mmmmm! Mmmmm!"

Ning Rongzhang was dressed in a dark green robe and had a slender figure. He then turned his body slightly, revealing half of his profile under the candlelight, looking extremely handsome.

Prince Huai's eyes were hazy and he was quite old, so it took him a while to see who the man was.

Ning Rongzhang waved his hand, and the silk cloth in Prince Huai's mouth was removed.

"You...you're not dead?"

There was a slight tremor in his voice. Being caught in such a vulnerable moment while he was sleeping, Prince Huai would be even more afraid of Ning Rongzhang in the future.

"From what Prince Huai said, it seems like he really wants me to die?"

With the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the people in the room, "Ning Rongzhang, are you too confident? I have many guards in my house. Since you dare to come in, don't even think about leaving!"

"Really?" Ning Rongzhang smiled nonchalantly, "Then why don't you think about how we got in?"

Prince Huai choked and compromised, "What do you want to do?"

"I came here just to ask Prince Huai to do me a small favor. I believe the Great Protector of Luanzhou is now staying in your house. I know that you have been doing iron ore business for many years."

The iron ore business and collusion with external parties, once such things are known by the imperial court, the end will be death.

Prince Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, "I am always strict in what I do. How did you know about this?"

The dim light shone on the man's face, and Ning Rongzhang had almost no expression on his face. "Prince Huai made a fortune from the national crisis. Doesn't he know that there is a saying that goes, 'God is watching what you do?'"

"Prince Huai, you don't need to know how I know this. The small favor I want you to do is to raise the price of the iron ore and sell it to the Luanzhou tribe. However, the transportation of the iron ore requires the work of my people. Prince Huai will not refuse to help with such a small favor, right?" Although Ning Rongzhang said this, there was a determined look in his eyes.

After being threatened several times, Prince Huai's patience ran out. He whispered, "Ning Rongzhang, have you forgotten your identity? Do you still think you are the high and mighty regent who holds the emperor hostage to control the princes? I tell you, as long as I send a message to Kyoto that you are still alive, do you think you will still be able to bargain with me?"

"Of course you will die." Ning Rongzhang curled his lips slightly and smiled, "But I will definitely ask you to hand over the matter of smuggling iron ore to His Majesty first. As for your intention to expose me, it depends on whether you have the life to speak up in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a sword being unsheathed was particularly harsh in the darkness.

This is a threat.

Prince Huai cherishes his life, and it seems that there is no way to control Ning Rongzhang at this time. He was killed by someone that everyone believes does not exist. Even if the difference is turned upside down, no one will suspect that it was a dead person who killed him.

The beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his eyebrows, and Prince Huai felt his limbs go weak. "Ning Rongzhang, if I help you, can you ensure that His Majesty will not know about my smuggling of iron ore?"

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with this king."

"you!"

With his life and property in hands, Prince Huai chose to protect himself and had to agree to Ning Rongzhang's request first.
