The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 926

Chapter 926: 424 taels before the second watch

Ning Wang with a clang dropped the spoon back into the bowl, his gaze fixed on her, no longer the usual warmth in his eyes but a heavy and profound look: "What exactly do you want to do?"

The Princess Consort of Ning Wang lifted her head and stared at him with unblinking almond eyes, her expression holding equal parts mirth and scorn: "I don’t want to do anything. I just want to tell your Highness that I cannot meddle in your affairs, but if anyone wants to kill Princess Consort Rui, they’ll have to kill me first."

Ning Wang’s pupils shrank as if struck by a tremendous shock, and despite his tempered nature to remain unfazed even if Tai Mountain were to collapse before him, a hint of frost couldn’t help but emerge between his brows at this moment.

He grasped her wrist: "My affairs? You had better explain clearly to me, which affairs of mine!"

"The medicine has cooled." The Princess Consort of Ning Wang smiled slightly, effortlessly breaking free from Ning Wang’s grasp, taking the bowl of medicine from his hand and downing it in one gulp, not a single drop left.

She handed the empty bowl to Ning Wang: "Would you mind putting this away for me?"

Ning Wang looked deeply into her eyes, his gaze flickering between coldness, complexity, and fury... but in the end, he suppressed them all. He set the medicine bowl on the table, composed himself, and spoke softly: "Rest well. I will have someone send my younger brother’s wife back."

The Princess Consort commented indifferently: "I’ve heard that Wutou isn’t as poisonous as arsenic. I don’t know myself—I’ve never tried it."

Ning Wang had already risen to leave, but upon hearing her words, he abruptly turned back and said to the Princess Consort: "Enough, Chu Yue! I will not lay a hand on her!" _{freēwēbnovel.com}

Chu Yue, the name of Ning Wang’s wife, Suxin was her courtesy name.

After their grand wedding, he had not called her by her name ever again.

The Princess Consort of Ning Wang was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a smile: "Your Highness had best remember your own words."

Emerging from the Princess Consort’s courtyard, Ning Wang’s expression was icy to the core.

His trusted follower hurried to catch up, asking, "Young master, are we really going to send Princess Consort Rui back? Should we—"

As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture.

Ning Wang gave him a cold look: "Who gave you the courage to do that?"

The subordinate was taken aback: "Wasn’t that your Highness’s order? Since we can’t touch the hostage from Chen, why not just..."

The coldness in Ning Wang’s eyes intensified: "Just what? When has it been your turn to make decisions about my affairs?"

The subordinate bowed deeply in apology: "Your subordinate dares not!"

Ning Wang, with hands clasped behind his back, gazed at the autumnal beauty of the garden and spoke nonchalantly: "Send Princess Consort Rui back, and do not harm her."
