Chapter 223 - 96: The Hidden Guard Will Go Call the Wet Nurse Over

Yun Zheng’s eyebrows moved slightly. He closed the book in his hand and set it down, following her to the outer room.

"Lady, what do you want to ask?"

He sat down on the chair, picked up the teapot, poured a cup, and took a sip lightly. Then, he forcefully pulled Lady Yun onto his lap.

Lady Yun did not resist. After falling into that hard embrace, she naturally reached out to hook his neck.

"I’m asking you, the matter with Lord Zhang at Tai Fu Temple, are you the one who had someone leak it?"

Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow, one hand wrapped around her soft waist, the other holding the teacup, his expression nonchalant.

"Yes, just as Lady spoke to me about this previously, out of sympathy for Mrs. Xiao Zhang, wanting me to find someone to secretly leak the matter, right?"

"Whatever Lady wants to do, as long as it doesn’t harm others, I will do it."

Lady Yun was delighted by the sweet talk, lifted her head, and planted a kiss on his face.

"I knew that the surname Zhang’s filthy matter was leaked by you. You did well, dear husband."

"By the way, husband, have you heard about Prince Jing’s affair... um?"

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed with a kiss.

A simple kiss made Yun Zheng completely lose control. His hand pressed against her head, eyes lowered as he fervently sucked on her lips.

Can’t blame him for being affectionate anywhere; blame her for teasing first, knowing very well his lack of resistance to her yet daring to provoke him.

Long after, Lady Yun was released, barely having time to catch her breath as she was lifted up.

She hooked his neck, looked at the burning desire in his eyes, and said nervously, "Don’t act recklessly, Xiao Si is right inside."

"Not here, let’s go next door."

Lady Yun: "..."

"What about Xiao Si..."

Xiao Si can’t be left alone.

"No worries, the Hidden Guard will call the nurse over."

Lady Yun: "..."

When Xiao Si wakes up tomorrow and sees the nurse in her bedroom, who knows how he’ll laugh at her, would she even dare face anyone?

Yet, with the bow drawn, there’s no choice but to release the arrow; she couldn’t refuse anymore.

Yun Zheng carried her to the adjacent room without explanation, while the Hidden Guard wisely went to summon the nurse.

A night of indulgence.

Until it was almost time for court, Yun Zheng, who hadn’t slept a wink, reluctantly let her go.

He reached out to touch her face, then kissed her lips gently, his voice deep and seductive after being sated.

"Lady must be tired. It’s late; I’ll change clothes and go to court. Lady should get some sleep."

Lady Yun grabbed his hand, complaining, "You haven’t mentioned Prince Jing’s affair."

Yun Zheng: "..."

His lady actually still remembered this matter, it seemed he hadn’t been vigorous enough earlier in the night.

"Didn’t Princess Jing come to the manor to find you? You should already know."

"With Prince Jing in trouble, no one can harm the Princess in the future, and the entire Prince Jing Mansion will be under her control. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No," Lady Yun shook her head, hooking his neck and pulling his face down, whispering against his ear, "Then, Prince Jing’s trouble, was it really the Princess’s doing?"

Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow, surprised, "Lady actually guessed it?"

Since when did Lady become so smart?

"I suppose it really was the Princess? Oh, right, I didn’t guess it; it was Xiao Si. I just couldn’t believe it, so I wanted to ask you."

Yun Zheng: "..."

Turns out it was Xiao Si. He knew it, how could his Lady suspect Princess Jing?

"Also, husband, orchestrating against the Imperial Family isn’t a trivial matter; won’t the Princess get into trouble?"

Lady Yun couldn’t help but worry.

Yun Zheng softly assured, "Don’t worry, it won’t be traced to the Princess."

"The Jiang Family intervened, forged some evidence. After the Capital Governor took over the case, he followed the leads deliberately left by the Jiang Family and traced it to Yin Menglan."

"With Prince Jing in trouble, Yin Menglan has completely lost her backing. Moreover, she has no power or influence, making her the perfect scapegoat. The Capital Governor is eager to conclude the case and won’t investigate further."

"Why?"

Lady Yun puzzled, "Prince Jing is part of the Imperial Family, how could his case be handled so hastily?"

Yun Zheng laughed softly, gently touched her head, and explained.

"Lady, Prince Jing being part of the Imperial Family doesn’t change anything. Things have come to this; he likely won’t recover, perhaps even survival is uncertain."

"Regardless, with the Prince Manor falling into the Princess’s hands, it’s an unavoidable fact, and besides, Lord Jiang is an elder in our court. Though not forming factions, his protégés are everywhere, his status is almost comparable to those such as Su Jian or Prime Minister Han."
