When Dong Chengbin didn't know what to say, he saw Lu Qingtang curling her fingers at him.
He walked forward quickly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, expressing his surrender through actions.
Lu Qingtang was feeling extremely unhappy when he was being killed in a mess.
She said to Dong Chengbin: "Get up and kill Mo Zeshen for me. I've been killed several times. Take revenge on me."
Mo Zeshen laughed at the side, "Your chess skills are so bad that you have to find someone else to replace you. Isn't it a shame?"
Lu Qingtang rolled his eyes at him, took Dong Chengbin's collar and pressed him into his position.
Dong Chengbin was calm and composed, and Mo Zeshen was defeated by three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes. Lu Qingtang clapped and laughed at the side.
After the game of chess, Lu Qingtang asked Kou Dan to remove the chess board and replace it with tea and snacks.
She looked at Dong Chengbin and stuffed snacks into her mouth, "Dong Prince Consort is Dong Prince Consort. He is a bit of a dandy, but he still has some talents after all."
Dong Chengbin smiled and said, "Princess Chen is ridiculous. My father forced me to learn these things, and later I used them to seduce girls."
Lu Qingtang nodded and started to get straight to the point, "Then, has Emperor Consort Dong figured it out?"
Dong Chengbin concentrated for a moment, then stood up and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Princess, it was all my fault before. I was too stubborn and only thought about my own hatred."
"Actually, to be honest, the death of the princess actually has nothing to do with you. The source lies with Concubine Ning. It was she who started all the troubles and harmed herself, the princess, and you two. …I understand all the principles, but I just can’t figure it out.”
He smiled bitterly, then looked up at Lu Qingtang and Mo Zeshen, "I wonder what you want me to do?"
Lu Qingtang and Mo Ze listened deeply to these words, looked at each other, and then continued to look at Dong Chengbin.
Mo Zeshen said: "It's very simple. We want to use you to get our father to stop thinking about destroying the Zhennan Palace."
He frowned and sighed, "I know this is difficult, but the person who untied the bell must tie the bell. It was you who came up with the idea. I'm afraid you are the only one who has the best way to crack it."
Dong Chengbin looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly, "The prince can really make things difficult for others. It was my idea, but your majesty... he actually doesn't trust me that much."
"He and Ji Wuxuan, the second brother of King Zhennan, have always had one-way contact. We both restrict each other. Moreover, I have lost contact with Ji Wuxuan these days since I was imprisoned. Maybe he has already suspected me."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Qingtang and Mo Zeshen both had helpless looks on their faces.
It's over, all this thought was in vain.
However, Dong Chengbin's next words rekindled their hope.
"Ji Wuxuan is a self-willed man. He has always looked down on us young masters, so he always shows off his power in front of me. And I have never paid much attention to him before. If I are down now, he will definitely be complacent and will not make His Majesty suspicious. Let's think of another plan."
After hearing this, Lu Qingtang felt good.
She looked at Mo Zeshen, "Prince, why don't we just do this for now and see what tricks Ji Wuxuan can do, and then we can think of another way."
Jian Mo Zeshen nodded in agreement, and then looked at Dong Chengbin, "By the way, I have always had a question, that is, how did you imitate the handwriting of King Zhennan?"
Dong Chengbin spread his hands and said, "How can I have this ability? This is the credit of Zhennan Wang's cousin. The handwriting is so similar!"
When Lu Qingtang heard the word cousin, he understood that it was Xu Lingshu.
No wonder King Zhennan became so uncomfortable.
One was his childhood sweetheart's cousin, and the other was his biological brother. They all stabbed him in the back, and no one could bear this blow.
Dong Chengbin hesitated for a long time, then he spoke again, "You... are you sure you can let me go?"
Lu Qingtang couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and stuffed the snack into her mouth, "I can't believe you. I still have your wife and your child. You can't take them away."
Thinking of Ning Xinran, she stood up and said, "I almost forgot about your chat. I'm going to see your wife."
Dong Chengbin lowered his head, smiled shyly, and bowed to her.
Lu Qingtang came to the room and Ning Xinran just woke up.
She couldn't sleep well recently because she was too nervous, and would wake up at the slightest movement.
As soon as she saw Lu Qingtang, Ning Xinran wanted to stand up, but was held down by Lu Qingtang who stepped forward.
She stretched out her hand to feel her pulse, which was quite stable.
Then he asked her, "Does your face hurt? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Ning Xinran frowned, "It hurts a lot. Is there any way to relieve the pain? It hurts so much that I can't sleep well."
Lu Qingtang nodded, turned around and walked out, finding ibuprofen from the space in the bracelet. There are too few medicines that a pregnant woman can take, and her face is so bad at this time that she can't take most of the medicines.
Fortunately, the weather is still quite cold now, so we can't worry that her face will become inflamed and pus will flow out, otherwise she will have to abort the fetus in her belly to save her life.
She took out the ibuprofen, poured some water, and helped Ning Xinran take it.
Ning Xinran was a little curious and asked with a smile: "Princess Chen, you and Zeng Shaoyu are apprentices handed over by the same master. I see that you both use the same type of medicine."
Lu Qingtang nodded, "More or less, we can be considered as teachers from the same school."
They are all Western medicine theories and should be considered the same category.
She thought for a while and then looked at Ning Xinran, "Did you persuade Dong Chengbin to help us?"
Ning Xinran was a little surprised, "He agreed? This is something I didn't expect."
Then she continued: "It's not me, it should be said that he is sensible. He is a stubborn person and never considers the consequences of doing things. Now that I am pregnant with his child, of course I want to think about the child and not just myself. I thought I couldn't persuade him, but I didn't expect him to give in. It means he has grown up and knows how to think about the future for me and my children."
Seeing Ning Xinran's happy face, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
She used to hate Ning Xinran.
What a girl who has not yet left the government has done is truly astonishing.
She is actually the most suitable for Dong Chengbin. They both did some incredible things when they were young and frivolous, and their brain circuits are equally strange. But when it comes to their essence, they are not that bad. Maybe Lu Qingtang has never understood these people.
The reason why Lu Qingtang chose to believe in Ning Xinran and Dong Chengbin was actually very simple.
Since meeting her in Fangcheng County, no matter what she did, she never touched her three children. Either they wanted her and Mo Zeshen's lives, or they framed them, or they killed people to silence them, but they did not attack the three children. The same goes for Dong Chengbin.
This can be regarded as their bottom line. If people have a bottom line, they are not too bad.
