A Beautiful Duchess with a Dark Heart – Chapter 122

Chapter 122

He carefully read it for a long time.

Only then did he lean back in his chair, “There really are a lot of things going on, I didn’t expect that!”

“Yes. Your subordinate didn’t dare to inquire too much after receiving this. But from what I’ve investigated, the information is accurate!”

“Hmm. You mean, this is also related to the country bumpkin?”

“That day was very dangerous. ” Qi Wu had to tell everything. “It was a coincidence for her. ”

The Crown Prince stared at him for a long time, “Coincidence? That’s a joke. You don’t know how many people we’ve used and how long we’ve been investigating? Just relying on her, she could easily have a coincidence?!”

Qi Wu was speechless.

“She knows too much. ” The Crown Prince threw the things in his hand on the table. “Fifteen…”

“Your Highness!” Qi Wu was startled and quickly said, “Your Highness… Look, so many things have connected us together. If I marry her, everything will be fine. ”

“Haven’t you figured it out yet? This is a bold and utterly scheming woman! If you marry her, you’ll be in big trouble for the rest of your life!”

Qi Wu stood up, walked to the Crown Prince, and said very sincerely, “Your Highness, for now, she is all good for me. This time, the matter with my cousin didn’t work out, which disrupted my mother’s plan. I can’t bear to see my mother anxious. ”

“Humph…” The Crown Prince was really angry, but he couldn’t think of a good solution for a while, “Is she very good-looking?”

“She looks… not bad!” Qi Wu’s mind showed that clear figure and calm eyes.

“You look like this, why do you need a woman to be so good-looking?!”

Qi Wu didn’t speak.

“She’s not thin, is she?!”

“She’s not fat, but she’s quite sturdy! She’s really brave. So my mother…”

He said this because His Highness often said:

Oh my, the thunder is so loud today! If your Qin Dongshi heard it, would she faint?

Another time, it was His Highness, risking their relationship being discovered, who dragged him around in circles to the south gate and pointed to a sallow and thin female beggar: “Hey Qi Wu, look at that girl… so thin, so weak, does she look like your Qin Dongshi?!”

Therefore, he guessed: If Miss Wen is sturdy and brave, wouldn’t… His Highness not pick on her?

As a result, the Crown Prince shook his head repeatedly: “…No, no, this is absolutely not possible!”

“Your Highness! I have also mentioned my mother’s thoughts to you many times… After so many years at home, her mood has always been unhappy. This time, she seems to be very fond of Miss Wen, the two of them are talking and laughing, and Yuanyuan also likes her very much. For me… it’s the same whoever I marry. It’s better to just follow my mother’s wishes!”

At this time, Qi Wu didn’t know how much trouble this perfunctory sentence would bring him in the future…

The Crown Prince’s face completely cooled down, and he remained silent.

Qi Wu could only look at him.

As for the Crown Prince’s appearance, it was really unremarkable, only his eyes were well-born. Although he was young, when he looked at people, it was as if he could see through their hearts. Moreover, his eyes were complex and changeable, usually playful and frivolous.

When he was reprimanded and punished by the Emperor, his eyes were also erratic and unfocused.

But if anyone saw him at this moment… he was dignified and ruthless, with an air of finality.

Qi Wu was really worried, if His Highness decided to take action, he would definitely do it. “Your Highness, Miss Wen is efficient and not clingy. For now, she is beneficial to us! We have so many things in our hands, we can’t keep up, so don’t be distracted, okay?”

The Crown Prince raised his head, “Oh, a woman’s mouth is a deceitful ghost. Do you believe these superficial appearances?”

“Just like the Crown Princess…” The Crown Prince smiled self-deprecatingly and put on a gentle, dignified, and generous appearance of a woman: “Huan’er, after so many years, your mother has no other request for you, but hopes that you can marry Cousin Ying. As long as you agree to this, in the future, your mother will not restrain you!”

Qi Wu sighed again in his heart.

Then, the Crown Prince put on a delicate and charming look: “Cousin, I swear, if I can marry you, I promise not to lose my temper easily. I won’t talk too much, I won’t ask too many questions, and I won’t be jealous. I will definitely manage the inner household well. Whether it’s legitimate or illegitimate children… I will definitely take good care of them all!”

This look was too scary, and Qi Wu got goosebumps all over his body.

Then, the Crown Prince burst out laughing. “They said all the right things, right?! But, when you fulfill their wishes, they will have new wishes!”

At the beginning, his mother, in order to conveniently take care of his sick father, accompanied him all the time. Occasionally, his father had some things that needed to be written or copied, or someone to relay messages, and his mother would do it for him. Then, she started to help his father with simple tasks.

Gradually, she tasted the taste of power, the feeling of “achievement”, and began to do more and more, reaching out her hand far and wide.

She was in charge of everything, asking about everything, and interfering in everything!

Several of his subordinates were ruined because of her interference.

The orders from the Eastern Palace changed day and night, and even contradicted each other!

Talking to her…

At first, she complained about her grievances and tried to be gentle.

Then, she became cold and defensive. Finally, she turned into an unfilial son who guarded against her everywhere!

And she… didn’t even know what was going on outside!

✿✿✿

And if his father didn’t have this illness, would his Imperial Grandfather still tolerate him?!

Would someone secretly make a move…

How can his father live well…

These words cannot be said to her explicitly, it would be a disaster!

But if you don’t say it…

She was so wary of him, now, she was vaguely targeting…

And that Cousin Ying… he never had any good feelings for her, but she always had wishful thinking! Long ago in the Eastern Palace, she acted like the mistress of the house.

His mother’s request, his cousin’s oath. He foolishly believed it, took a step back, and married her.

Haha… he was really fooled! How could she possibly change? She simply thought that everything was as it should be.

As soon as she entered the door, she started making waves in the inner household!

She got pregnant, but he couldn’t keep it, but she said it was someone else who harmed her.

The entire Eastern Palace was under the control of their aunt and niece, who could harm her? Who would dare to harm her?

After several years of marriage, he only had one son and one daughter in his backyard.

That son was born to a maid beside the Crown Princess. As soon as he was born, the maid died… This should be her backup plan in case he couldn’t have a son, right?! If she could give birth, this son would die.

Thinking of these annoying things… he felt anger rushing to his head.

Qi Wu knew all this, so he didn’t try to persuade him, but said directly, “Your Highness, I spent a lot of effort this time, and what I found is limited. With this document, we can say that it has pointed out several clear paths, and we can follow these clues. Your Highness, let me go!”

The Crown Prince looked at Qi Wu, this was his brother who shared life and death with him. Forget it, let’s leave it at this for now! “You have excellently completed the task by obtaining these. I have arrangements for the following matters. There are also many things in the capital. Haha, I really didn’t know that the Baoyi Bank and the Eight Directions Gambling House were that person’s property! You come and keep an eye on this!”

When talking about business, the Crown Prince restrained his debauchery and frivolity.

And changed to a calm temperament.

“Yes. Your Highness, how is His Highness the Crown Prince these days?”

“Basically the same as before, he had an episode two months ago. He was confused for several days…” At this time, the Crown Prince showed a trace of real sadness.

After Qi Wu left, the Crown Prince was stunned for a while.

“Fifteen!”

A man in black suddenly appeared in the room.

The man knelt down and said, “Your subordinate failed in his duty, he didn’t leave anyone to follow up, and he didn’t know that Madam Qi had arranged a marriage for Fifth Young Master!”

“Forget it! The important things are more important…”

“Thank you, Master!” The man was about to retreat.

“Go to Old Xiao and receive ten military sticks…”

“…Thank you for the reward, Your Highness!” The man named Fifteen smiled wryly.

“Also, your martial sister, send a reliable one over. See what’s going on with that country bumpkin…”

“Master, you forgot, a few days ago, they were all sent out, the tasks are only half done…”

“Not a single one?”

“Hmm… there is one. ”

“Send her over quickly and investigate properly. ”

“Should we take action?”

“…Let’s see first. ”

Qi Wu is like my own son, how can he marry an unreliable wife?

Although my wife is also unreliable… but if there really is such a day, I can deal with her!

Qi Wu, that softy, is very stupid, don’t let anyone bully him!

Alas, I have to worry about everything!
