famous eldest daughter

Chapter 214 Husband and wife
Through the bronze mirror, Prince Duan glanced at the face with fine lines in it, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"You guys go down." The voice was as usual, deep and deep with the unique majesty of the head of the family, and sent away the few maids serving Princess Duan.

Those maidservants were all dowry from Princess Duan's natal family when she left the pavilion. Even though Prince Duan was the head of the family, in their hearts, Princess Duan was ranked ahead of Prince Duan.

Hearing this, Princess Chao Duan looked over without leaving any trace.

Even though she was dissatisfied with Prince Duan for taking his concubine to Xishan, she could tell with just one glance that Prince Duan might have something important to say after they had been sleeping together for decades.

Thinking of this, the jealousy in her heart was immediately reduced by half.

So what if she pampers her as a concubine? After all, if there is a big deal, it is not necessary to discuss it with her, the main wife.

This is the difference between wives and concubines.

The concubine is just a thing to make the men happy. Her wife is the only one who can truly stand side by side with the prince through thick and thin.

Princess Duan nodded slightly invisible to her maids, and when they left slowly, Princess Duan looked at Prince Duan through the bronze mirror and said, "What's wrong?" Her eyebrows moved slightly.

Prince Duan sighed, and his face, which had been gentle just now, suddenly became more solemn when she was alone in the room, and he said, "Someone broke into my study again last night."

One word after another, he said it through gritted teeth.

Knowing that many of Prince Duan's confidential files and letters are hidden in the study, Princess Duan immediately turned her head and looked straight at Prince Duan when she heard this, panic broke out on her dignified face, "But what important thing is missing?"

The movement was violent, and the jewels and emeralds on their heads collided, making a crisp jingle sound, which added a bit of depression to this already dignified topic.

"Throw everything that should be thrown away." Prince Duan gave a wry smile, picked up the half-cup of hot tea that the princess had drunk in his hand, and took a sip casually.

Even though he had many concubines, he would not rest in Princess Duan's room on weekdays except on the 15th day of the lunar month. However, whenever he felt depressed, only with her could his anxious heart feel at ease.

"Those with Nanyue..." Princess Duan was shocked, she stood up in a huff, walked up to Prince Duan, and said in amazement, a heartbeat was about to pop out of her throat.

A layer of frost floated in the eyes of Prince Duan, and he nodded, "I lost it, not only the letters, but this time, even the file of the case of the Gusu family in Qibei, and..." Just about to talk about stealing The file of the legitimate son of the Chi Nanhou Mansion was also lost, and he suddenly remembered that Princess Duan did not know about this matter, so she quickly interrupted her words with a sigh.

Fortunately, Concubine Duan's face turned ashen pale from the surprise of Prince Duan's words, and she didn't pay attention to his seeming strangeness at all.

"I told you a long time ago that you should stop writing those notes and records, and that you should burn all those letters. Keeping those things will sooner or later be a disaster, but you refused to listen." In desperation, Princess Duan's tears rolled down her hands. Inside, a handkerchief was twisted into a hemp rope. As he was talking, a flash occurred in his mind. He remembered what happened last night and said, "Xiao Yu came here last night. Could it be that he did it?"

Doubts arose in Prince Duan's heart. A flash of light flashed towards Princess Duan, "What is he doing here? When did he come?" His voice suddenly rose.

Princess Duan told Prince Duan everything about Xiao Yu's visit last night, "... He kept talking to me about Hao'er. He could say anything. No wonder people say he is a demon king."

Duan Wangye listened, but the doubts in his heart gradually faded away, "What kind of bastard is Murong Hao? It's not normal for me to make trouble with you."

"What the prince meant was not him?"

Prince Duan shook his head, "I found a strand of silk thread on the potted plant in the study. It's Albizia Julibrissin."

After hearing the words "Hehuanjin", Princess Duan frowned for a moment, and exclaimed with a pale face: "It's Xiao Duo again!" After saying this, Princess Duan glanced at Prince Duan angrily, "Last time the study was robbed. , let me tell you, maybe someone among your secret guards has betrayed you a long time ago, you just turned a deaf ear to my words, but what happens now, the same person broke into your study twice in a row."

"Those people have been with me for more than ten years. If they wanted to rebel, they would have rebelled long ago. It will definitely not be them!" Prince Duan interrupted Princess Duan's words and the result was decisive.

Prince Duan spent decades cultivating those dead soldiers, and his feelings for them were like a certain organ in his own body.

Although they made mistakes, he could punish them arbitrarily and even kill them without emotion, but if someone said that they would betray him, Prince Duan couldn't bear it.

Princess Duan knew how he always felt about the secret guards. She shook her head and sighed. She sat down opposite Prince Duan, across a small square table, and said, "Xiao Duo broke in twice in a row and avoided you every time." Don’t you have any doubts about the dead soldiers of the secret guard?”

Knowing that Prince Duan has an unusual affection for his secret guards, Princess Duan's tone changed to be less aggressive.

Her voice softened, Prince Duan's blushing complexion also slightly eased, and there was a hint of sternness in the dark eyes, "I have ordered to go down and investigate, and I think there will be results in the near future. I will let him know that he betrayed me sooner or later. What will happen!" He said through gritted teeth.

Princess Duan breathed a sigh of relief.

With Prince Duan's method, if he doesn't investigate, he will definitely find out the traitor.

However, although he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was still anxious, "What should I do now? Xiao Duo has learned the lesson from the last time, and I am afraid he has already inherited the throne."

Prince Duan said with a sullen face: "For a while, the emperor kept silent, so we are still safe. After all, the queen is still there."

Princess Duan frowned and nodded, but she didn't feel at ease at all, and her heart was anxious.

Collaboration with the enemy and treason is not an ordinary crime after all.

Prince Duan took a breath, sat up straight, leaned toward Princess Duan, and lowered his voice and said, "We have to advance that matter."

When Princess Duan heard this, her hand holding the teacup suddenly trembled, her heart suddenly shrank, and she looked towards Prince Duan, "You mean..."

Prince Duan nodded, "If something like this happens, even if it's the Queen Mother's protection, but for the Emperor, since we are passive after all, it's better to just settle it once and for all, so as to save us from worrying every day."

Princess Duan slowly put down the tea cup in her hand, took a deep breath, her face tensed, and she was silent for a long time, then said: "How sure is the prince?"

Prince Duan smiled, "Originally, it was only five points, but now, the envoys from South Vietnam are about to arrive, and there will be another thirty percent more."

Princess Duan shook her head and said uneasily: "It will take ten days and a half for the South Vietnamese envoy to enter the capital. I'm afraid the emperor won't tolerate us for that long."
