Chapter 124: Yan Mobai killed him
King Kang said nothing. He walked up to her and looked at her quietly, with a look of scrutiny, inquiry, caution, and even a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Then he curled his lips coldly: "I thought I recognized the wrong person."
Ning Miao looked around vigilantly.
"Your Highness, can we go in and talk? Yan Mobai has been sending people to follow me. I pressed Chi Feng's fainting point and hid in the rockery next to the palace road, so I was able to get out."
Prince Kang was a little surprised and narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a moment of silence, he motioned to her, "Go in."
Seeing that he had no intention of taking the lead and walking in front, Ning Miao guessed that he should want to walk behind, and secretly instructed the palace servants at the door to go to the rockery to check the truth of her words.
So he picked up the steps and entered the Begonia Palace first.
Prince Kang followed behind, and before crossing the threshold, he glanced at one of the palace servants guarding the door.
The palace maid nodded in understanding and left quietly.
The two of them came to the courtyard of Haitang Palace, and King Kang pointed to a pavilion in the courtyard and said, "Go sit there."
This is because he was unwilling to take her inside.
How could Ning Miao not understand?
She curled her lips, said nothing more, and followed him into the pavilion.
"I heard from the palace servants that you have very important news to tell me." King Kang sat down at the stone table, lifting his robe.
Ning Miao narrowed his eyes.
He didn't ask about her experience, why she didn't return to Prince Kang's Mansion if she was still alive, or why she became Yan Mobai's sister-in-law. He just asked directly for information.
Obviously he didn't trust her.
First ask her for information, and then determine whether she is a friend or an enemy based on the information she provides.
"Yes, I want to tell your Highness that Princess Anyang's death was not caused by the Biluo Kingdom, but..."
Ning Miao paused, lowered his voice and said, "Yan Mobai killed him."
King Kang was shocked.
Ning Miao knew that what shocked him was not the news itself, but the fact that she actually knew about it and told him.
After all, Yan Mobai killing a princess of a country was a very big matter.
Once confirmed, it would be fatal to Yan Mobai and a heavy blow to Prince Ning.
King Kang did not respond. He lowered his brows, reached out to pick up a teapot on the stone table in front of him, and slowly poured a cup of water.
After pouring the wine, he did not stand up to drink from the cup.
Ning Miao knew that he was just thinking while pouring water.
"Why did you become the mistress of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion?" Prince Kang raised his eyes and asked.
Ning Miao pursed her lips, knowing that he had some trust in her.
He sighed softly, "That day, I fell off a cliff and got hung on a tree on the cliff. I was lucky enough to survive, but I was seriously injured and lost my memory."
King Kang's eyes narrowed: "Lost memory?"
"Well, I hit my head on a tree trunk. The doctor said there was bruising. I didn't know who I was or where my home was. I stayed at a peasant woman's house to recover from my injuries for a while. One day when I went to the market with her, I met Yan Mobai."
"I found out that he was following me secretly, so I asked him if he knew me. He saw that I had lost my memory, so he made up a story to lie to me."
"He said I had a relationship with his brother, and even told me where and how I met his brother, and how we became involved."
"I saw that what he said was very convincing, and I learned that he was the Supreme Court Justice, so I felt that he should be fair and impartial and would not lie."
"Besides, I think his brother is the eldest son of the Marquis's family. The status of the eldest daughter-in-law should be the dream of many noble ladies. There is no need for him to deceive me, a penniless ordinary woman."
"Also, I have lost my memory and am homeless. If I can enter the Marquis' Mansion, I won't be able to enjoy wealth and glory, but at least I will have enough food and clothing."
"So I believed him and went to the Marquis' Mansion with the jade pendant, a token of his brother's love that he gave me."
"At that time, Yan Changjing was beaten to death and unconscious. The Marquis' Mansion was looking for someone to marry him. My appearance just happened to solve this problem. Therefore, the Marquis' Mansion hurriedly completed the wedding of Yan Changjing and me."
"I regained my memory a few days ago. I remembered who I was and everything."
"I want to contact His Highness, but there is no chance at all. Yan Mobai has been sending people to monitor me."
"If the Queen hadn't summoned me today and asked me to bring rouge here, I wouldn't have been able to see Your Highness."
"As soon as I left Weiyang Palace, Yan Mobai sent Chi Feng out to follow me."
"I know. If I don't get in touch with His Highness today, it will be even more difficult in the future. Usually, there are multiple secret guards watching me. But today I am entering the palace, so it is not easy for the secret guards to follow me. Today, only Chi Feng is here, so this is a rare opportunity."
"Moreover, I urgently want to inform His Highness of the information that Yan Mobai killed Anyang."
“So, I didn’t care whether I was in the palace or not. I attacked Chi Feng directly, knocked him unconscious, hid him in the stone mountain, and then came to Haitang Palace.”
Prince Kang looked at Ning Miao and watched her speak with a little excitement.
He didn't interrupt until she finished speaking.
"How can I trust you?"
Ning Miao was stunned, looking as if he had never expected him to say such a thing.
"My loyalty to Your Highness, could it be that Your Highness... could it be that you still have doubts about it?"
After asking, I waited for King Kang’s response.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ning Miao laughed bitterly at herself again: "That's right, I've been Yan Mobai's eldest sister-in-law for so long, anyone would be suspicious."
"It's just that I have followed His Highness for a longer time. I thought His Highness knew me well. But, His Highness doesn't believe in my loyalty to His Highness as much as Yan Mobai does. I really didn't expect that."
King Kang narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
Ning Miao shook his head slightly.
"Why did Yan Mobai trick me into becoming his eldest sister-in-law? Was it to deal with you together? Of course not! In his eyes, I have lost my memory."
"What's the point of him lying to a person who has lost his memory and has completely forgotten everything about His Highness?"
"He deliberately deceived me, a person who was of no use to him. He must have thought that I was very important to His Highness. He had me in his hands and could use me to threaten His Highness one day, or to exchange conditions with His Highness at a critical moment."
"What he is sure of is just the importance I hold in His Highness' heart."
King Kang pursed his lips slightly.
Ning Miao continued.
"Your Highness, think about it, if I really became his person, would I have done anything to let Your Highness down in such a long time?" Ning Miao asked calmly.
She thought about it, and she knew that he asked Taoist Master Yunju to make a black snake appear in the sand, and had people replace the "Spring Flowers Picture" with the "Guan Gong Conquering the Dragon Picture" at the Spring Banquet in Prince Ning's Mansion. Those were all memories of her previous life.
When he was planning all these in this life, she was no longer by his side, and he could not doubt her.
"I know so much about His Highness, have I ever revealed even a single thing?"
"If I really betrayed His Highness, any one thing I said, any one truth I revealed, would put His Highness at a disadvantage, right?"
"The simplest one is that His Highness has set up secret agents everywhere. I know about them, right? Have I ever asked Yan Mobai to destroy them?"
She just used Yan Mobai to get rid of the secret agents in the Marquis' Mansion, and she didn't touch any other places.
Because she didn't want to expose herself, she just wanted to get the antidote for the three years of spring and autumn safely and live well.
