Chapter 946: 432 Long Yi (second update) Chapter 946: 432 Long Yi (second update) However, as the Crown Princess Consort set out from the Vermilion Bird Avenue planning to return to the East Palace, the carriage wheel got stuck halfway.

Even though autumn was gradually cooling, the midday sun remained harsh, and the carriage interior was unbearably stifling.

“Crown Princess Consort, there’s a tea house over there. Let’s sit inside for a while,” Chun Yin suggested.

“That sounds good,” replied the Crown Princess Consort as she touched her own cheek. The golden ointment from Princess Xinyang truly worked wonders; her swelling had already gone down. Even so, she still wore a veil over her face.

Chun Yin went to the counter and booked a refined and elegant private room on the second floor.

As the Crown Princess Consort and Chun Yin were walking along the corridor on the second floor, suddenly a hand reached out and pulled the Crown Princess Consort into one of the rooms!

The Crown Princess Consort’s face lost color, she drew a sharp breath, almost letting out a cry of alarm.

“It’s me,” said the man as he wrapped his arms around her waist and caressed the veil on her cheek.

The Crown Princess Consort gave him a cold look, pushed him away, and extricated herself from his embrace.

Prince Ning, unoffended by the rejection, smiled, sat down on a chair, and gesturing to the one next to him, asked, “Won’t you sit?”

The Crown Princess Consort turned to look for Chun Yin, only to find the door had already been closed.

It was obvious who had closed it.

The Crown Princess Consort shot him an icy glare, “Did you buy off Chun Yin?”

The first time in the rockery, he had been required to knock Chun Yin unconscious, but later, to fabricate evidence for Wo Yang’s incident, she had thought he had threatened Chun Yin.

Prince Ning spread his hands: “I certainly did not buy her off. She willingly does things for me. If you don’t believe me, call her in and ask her yourself,” he said.

The Crown Princess Consort scoffed, “As if she would dare tell the truth.”

This man was too terrifying; even she felt fear, let alone a maid like Chun Yin.

Prince Ning looked at her amusedly, “If you don’t come over here, are you waiting for me to carry you over?”

A flicker of mockery passed through the Crown Princess Consort’s eyes, “What? Can’t the Prince Ning’s Consort satisfy you?”

Prince Ning’s face changed in an instant, a limitless chill flashing across his expression, “Let’s not bring her into our conversation.”

The Crown Princess Consort’s scalp tingled, and she defiantly glared at him once more before turning her face away.

Prince Ning let go and sat back down, his gaze casually drifting to the side, “Come over and sit.”

The Crown Princess Consort moved over and sat down with an expressionless face.

Prince Ning’s gaze scanned the length of her wrist peeking from her wide sleeve and commented, “Injured?”

The Crown Princess Consort remained silent.

Prince Ning took her wrist in his hands, cradling it with both care and affection in his palm, and after noticing that she had applied medicine, asked, “How did it happen?”

The Crown Princess Consort’s anger ignited explosively in an instant, and she turned towards him, her eyes burning with intensity, “How did it happen? You really want to know? Fine, I’ll tell you—it was done by the daughter of the Marquis Residence! Yes, that country girl who grew up in the countryside, who’s been embarrassing me again and again and who is so beloved by the Empress Dowager—Doctor Gu! She suspects Xiao Hen’s disappearance has something to do with me! So she wounded me! Not only is my wrist injured, my whole body is riddled with injuries! You have the nerve to ask, do you have the nerve to avenge me?”

Prince Ning fell silent for a moment then suddenly laughed, “Why are you getting upset with a child?”

The Crown Princess Consort’s eyebrows furrowed, “A child?”

Prince Ning smiled, “She’s still young and inevitably unreasonable. I will clear your name so that she will stop suspecting you.”

The Crown Princess Consort burst out in angry embarrassment, “It wasn’t me in the first place! It was you!”

Prince Ning chuckled lightly, gently massaging her wrist, “Alright, alright, it was me. I’ve implicated you.”

The Crown Princess Consort angrily withdrew her hand, “If you want to cheer me up, go kill her!”

Prince Ning pulled her hand again, “Speaking in anger again, aren’t you? The Consort of Prince Ning needs her, and so does the Empress Dowager.”

The Crown Princess Consort bit her lip, “Yes, you all need her, you don’t need me! So why are you here? Go back to being Prince Ning, and I’ll be the Crown Princess Consort. From now on, let’s keep to our own paths and never cross again!”

“Are you really that angry?” Prince Ning caressed her neck gently with one hand while holding her wrist with the other, “Aside from not touching her, whatever you want, I’ll agree to.”

The Crown Princess Consort frowned, clearly disliking either his touch or his words, “Wasn’t your Warehouse emptied? Haven’t you considered that she might be responsible?” The fact that Prince Ning’s Warehouse was emptied was not widely publicized, yet still known by a few.

Prince Ning said, “It was her. But I offended her first by burning down her Workshop. We are even now.”

The Crown Princess Consort scoffed, “A mere Workshop compensated with the entire treasury of Prince Ning’s Residence? How generous of you, Prince Ning!”
