Chapter 214: Master Yan will become a father in two months
Wen Lai took the order and left.
King Ning sat there without getting up. He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, and found that the water in it had turned cold.
He frowned and put it down, feeling somewhat uneasy.
After all, he knew better than anyone how intelligent Yan Mobai was.
If he were to discover it, his great cause would be over. Not only would he lose the assistance of such a capable person, but he would also be regarded as an enemy by this capable person.
Therefore, today's action must succeed and not fail, and Yan Mobai must not be allowed to find out that it has anything to do with him.
Time passed little by little, he stared at the clock in the corner, and for the first time he felt that time was passing so slowly.
Wenlai finally came back to report.
"Your Highness, Prince An has captured Madam Ning and brought her down the mountain and back to the capital."
Prince Ning's tense nerves relaxed a little.
But he was still worried.
"Are you sure it's that woman?"
"It's confirmed. The appearance and voice are the same, and the belly is big. Besides, Prince An acted so quickly, and Lord Yan didn't notice it, so it's impossible for him to find someone exactly like him on the mountain."
King Ning nodded. That’s true.
"Where is Yan Mobai now?"
"Your Highness, he has been at the Dali Temple and has not gone out."
"That's good." King Ning felt relieved.
Finally, he instructed Wen Lai: "Make sure Prince An takes the woman to the palace, not to Yan Mobai. If there is any situation, report it immediately."
"Yes!" Wen Lai accepted the order.
-
When the chief eunuch Wang Gonggong beside Emperor Zhaoqing arrived at the Dali Temple, Yan Mobai was just about to leave and return home.
"Master Yan, the emperor has sent me here to deliver his oral order, and he is ordering Master Yan to come to the palace to see him immediately."
"Excuse me, Eunuch Wang, what happened?" Yan Mobai asked.
Eunuch Wang only said, "Master Yan will know when he enters the palace."
Yan Mobai didn't ask any more questions. He told Chifeng and Lanying to go back home first, and he went to the palace with Eunuch Wang.
-
Prince Ning sat in his study all day without moving.
I don't even have the heart to eat lunch or dinner.
Wenlai and Wuzhi came to report from time to time.
When he learned that Prince An had brought the person into the palace, he felt relieved a little.
When he learned that the chief eunuch of Emperor Zhaoqing went to the Dali Temple and summoned Yan Mobai to the palace, he felt relieved.
"I'm a little hungry, let's prepare some food."
-
The night is getting darker.
When Prince Ning was preparing to take a bath, Yan Mobai arrived.
As soon as the man entered the room, he lifted his robe and knelt down in front of him.
Prince Ning pretended to be surprised and puzzled: "What are you doing?"
He immediately stepped forward to help: "Get up quickly!"
Yan Mobai couldn't get up.
Prince Ning's eyes darkened slightly: "But what happened?"
"Your Highness, please save Ning Miao." Yan Mobai said in a worried tone.
Prince Ning pretended to be surprised: "Ning Miao?"
"It's Ning Pan, her real name is Ning Miao." Yan Mobai replied.
King Ning nodded.
"What happened to her? Didn't you say that she had left the capital and was living the life she wanted?"
"She went to Zixia Mountain. I originally wanted to never see her again in this life, but I couldn't let her go. I went to look for her some time ago."
"After I found her, I discovered that the baby in her belly was still there."
Prince Ning was shocked: "The child is still there? Didn't he take abortion drugs in the palace?"
"She took an abortion drug. Her master said that the three years of spring and autumn in her body suppressed the properties of the abortion drug. Then she took snake bones, which can protect the fetus. When she returned to Zixia Mountain, her master gave her acupuncture in time, and the child was saved."
King Ning nodded.
"I see. But we can't keep this child. If we keep him, it would be deceiving the king."
Yan Mobai's handsome brows were slightly furrowed, his expression solemn.
"I know this, but she wants this child. I want it too. After all, it's her child."
"So, I thought, let her stay in Zixia Mountain to give birth to a child. After I assist Your Highness to take charge of the Eastern Palace, I will resign from my post and leave the capital. I will take her and the child to a place where no one knows us, hiding our identities and living the lives of ordinary people."
Prince Ning looked at him.
Yan Mobai's face turned pale as he continued, "But who knew that things would not go as planned. Prince An got to know all this from somewhere, and he went to Zixia Mountain to capture Ning Miao, brought her directly into the palace, and exposed her in front of the emperor."
Prince Ning uttered "Ah", seeming to be extremely shocked.
"Is she in the palace now?"
Yan Mobai nodded: "Yes, the emperor has imprisoned me for deceiving the emperor and I am awaiting punishment."
After saying that, Yan Mobai looked at King Ning with a pleading look on his face.
"Your Highness, could you please help me plead with the Emperor and ask him to spare her?"
"She didn't mean to deceive the emperor. She didn't expect the child to be saved."
"The baby in her belly is already seven months old. She can't stand any more torture. Please, Your Highness, save her."
Yan Mobai spoke earnestly and his face was filled with anxiety.
Prince Ning pursed his lips and reached out to support him again: "You get up first."
Yan Mobai still couldn't get up.
Prince Ning sighed, "Of course I can ask for mercy. It's rare that you ask me for something, so how could I not agree?"
The last time this man begged him, he wanted his viper bone.
The only two times I begged him were both for that woman.
This shows that he made the right move today.
That woman is indeed the man's only weakness. If you can control that woman, you can control him.
"After the morning court session tomorrow, I will go to Longyin Palace to plead with my father. However, this matter is a bit serious, and I don't know if I can get it."
Yan Mobai's face turned even paler: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Didn't you ask your father for help?" Prince Ning asked him.
Yan Mobai nodded, then shook his head: "I begged before, but it was useless. The emperor was very angry."
"Well, it's understandable. Father hates bullying the most."
"But she didn't mean to deceive the emperor!" Yan Mobai was a little excited.
"I know, but my father doesn't think so!"
After saying that, Prince Ning looked at Yan Mobai.
"You don't have to worry too much. Tomorrow, I will try my best to plead for mercy and see what my father's attitude is. If that doesn't work, we can think of other ways. Anyway, you are my people, and it's your woman and children that I want to save. I will definitely help you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yan Mobai bowed his head to express his gratitude.
-
The next morning, before the court session, all the ministers waited in the Golden Palace.
King Ning glanced at Yan Mobai and saw that he looked haggard and his eye sockets were dark grey. It was obvious that he had not slept all night, and his eyes were slightly dark.
Prince An even ran up to Yan Mobai and gloated over his misfortune.
"I forgot to congratulate Master Yan. Master Yan will become a father in two months."
"Master Yan, don't forget to invite me to the wedding wine when the time comes."
Yan Mobai pursed his lips tightly. Although he said nothing, his eyes full of anger, his tense jawline, and his clenched fists beneath the sleeves of his court robes all showed that he was on the verge of exploding while trying his best to endure.
Prince Ning saw it.
He walked closer to the two of them, patted Yan Mobai on the shoulder, and signaled him to calm down.
Then he smiled at Prince An and said, "Fourth brother, aren't you afraid that you will not be able to be a father in this life if you do too many bad things?"
Prince An raised his eyebrows and replied quickly: "Oh? Second brother and his wife have been married for quite some time, but they have never had a child. It turns out that second brother has done too many bad things!"
Prince Ning's expression froze.
Just as he was about to get angry, he heard the eunuch Wang Gonggong's voice in front of him: "The Emperor has arrived——"
Everyone returned to their seats immediately.
