The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 946

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?"
