Within the King's Manor.
In the study, a guard stood in front of King Ding, reporting to him.
"Reporting to your highness, this subordinate, Ning Wang, sent an assassin who had turned the tables on you. He is now King Xuan's subordinate, and he is waiting for an opportunity to make a move against King Ning."
King Ding smiled. "That's good news. King Ding no longer has any power. He still wants to take this opportunity to mess things up. He's overestimating himself …"
"Your subordinate also thought the same. In fact, if King Ning was willing to give up now, he might be able to save his own life."
King Ting nodded in agreement. "King Xuan looks like he doesn't care about the world. With his mind, he definitely won't give up such a good opportunity. I think he will definitely take revenge on King Ning." This King … "
The guard continued, "Could it be that Your Highness wants to tell the Emperor?"
King Ding glared at him. "Of course I won't do such a foolish thing! Watching a battle like that between the tigers, why not? "
"Your highness is right, your subordinate deserves to die, your subordinate deserves to die!" The guard knelt down in fear.
King Ding laughed again, "You did well. How could I treat you unfairly? Get up. "
The guard stood up again.
"Oh right, how's the news from Prince Rong's side?"
"Your subordinate has heard that Prince Rong and the wangfei haven't been having a good time lately. Right now, he's been staying in the 'National Beauty's Fragrance' every day. It's been some time since he's returned to the Prince's Mansion!"
King Ning laughed heartily. "This was a trick that King Xuan used before. Who would have thought that Prince Rong would have mastered it now!"
"Your subordinate thinks it's strange, Prince Rong's body has always been weak, so how could he still go to the brothel?"
King Ding glanced at him and said, "That is true, but Prince Rong's actions are beneficial for us." You have to understand that the Emperor and Empress both doted on him. If he had so much, wouldn't he ruin his own reputation? "
"Perhaps Prince Rong knows his own strength. On what basis should he compete with the prince?"
"That's right. Prince Rong is just a cripple in my eyes. I don't even put him in my eyes." He spat out these words, as if he was already a piece of meat on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered at any moment.
The guard nodded. "Your Highness is right. Prince Rong can indeed be let off temporarily, but right now, King Xuan is a huge threat to your highness. We should take action as soon as possible."
King Ding smiled and shook his head, "What do you know? This King has to conserve his strength. When King Xuan is done with Ning Wang, this duke will take this opportunity to reap the benefits of being a fisherman. Now, This King does not want to reveal his strength, do you understand? "
"Your subordinate is too stupid. Your highness is too far-sighted!"
The corners of King Dingdong's mouth curled into a faint smile. "Alright, you may leave. You must be sure to pay attention to the movements of King Xuan. If there's anything else, report it to me immediately."
"This subordinate knows, this subordinate will do his best to accomplish this task!" The guard turned and walked out.
He added worriedly, "Don't expose your whereabouts."
"This subordinate understands." Following the disappearance of the voice, the figure of the guard also quickly disappeared from King Dingdong.
King Ding looked out the window, a calm and conceited smile appearing on his face.
In King Ning's estate.
Ning Wang had just stood up from his study and was preparing to enter the courtyard when he suddenly saw a shadow flash by the window. He then saw a woman in red clothes, covered her face with a red veil and jumped into the study.
Ning Wang looked at her, slightly frowning. "How's it going?"
The woman only revealed a pair of clear and beautiful black and white eyes. She took a step forward and said, "I didn't kill King Xuan."
"This King knows." Ning Wang glanced at her, then sneered, "I know with your martial arts skills, taking King Xuan's life won't be difficult. How could you fail?"
The woman smiled sweetly. When she smiled, her eyes slightly curved, making her seem less cold and less arrogant.
Ning Wang loved women the most. Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, his black and white eyes made him involuntarily moved. His expression also eased up somewhat.
"That day, I went to assassinate King Xuan. However, his martial arts skills were higher than I expected. I'm afraid he was the strongest amongst you brothers, so I didn't succeed." The woman's voice was clear and crisp.
Ning Wang frowned. "I know you will find a way to kill him."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness." The woman laughed again. "I will complete the mission as soon as possible."
Ning Wang stared at her blankly, his gaze turning somewhat lustful. "Actually, with a girl's beauty, why must she become a killer?" If you are willing to follow This King, This King will guarantee you endless wealth and glory. "
The girl gave a faint smile, "It's a pity that this little girl is a person blessed by the heavens. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
"If a girl is willing to take off her veil so This King can see your true face, This King will definitely reward you well." Ning Wang lowered his voice and stared at the woman.
"I'm afraid that all the princes see are beautiful beauties, and people like me who are ordinary and mediocre don't fear being unable to enter the prince's eyes." The woman replied indifferently.
Ning Wang saw that the girl was wrapped in a red tight garment, making her look extremely slim and attractive. Although her face was covered by a veil, revealing only her pair of eyes, she still made people feel that she was a very beautiful woman. Princess Ning was already a great beauty, and Prince Yu's concubine was even more alluring. The woman in front of him exuded a frosty air. Although she was dressed in red, she gave off the impression that she was cold and inviolable, but at the same time also mysterious.
When the woman saw that Ning Wang was staring at her, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "Ning Wang, I advise you to restrain yourself and not have any ideas about me. I'm not Prince Yu's secondary concubine, so you can't act recklessly."
Ning Wang couldn't help but be moved when someone pointed a sore spot. He suddenly smiled. "Lady, you don't need to say that. After the previous lesson, I know what to do."
"It's good that Your Highness knows." The woman turned around. "If Your Highness has no other arrangements, then I will take my leave first." As he spoke, he moved, preparing to leave.
"Miss, please wait." Ning Wang hastily used words to stop her. "Your master and senior brothers have always been serving this duke. I'm sure you must know about this …" He then glanced at her, "If it wasn't for Duke Xuan, how could your senior brother have died at Xiao Tian Yuan's hands? The condition that King Xuan gave you must be very good. I advise you, my lady, not to forget that he is your greatest enemy! "
The woman stopped in her tracks, her lips pulled into a sneer. "I didn't expect that Ning Wang would be so well-informed. He knows more things than I do?"
"Everyone has the right to choose. Although This King has lost his power, he is after all Prince Yu's eldest son. The power within the court cannot be ignored. A woman as intelligent as this lady naturally knows what This King means, right?"
The woman suddenly turned around and carefully sized Ning Wang up. After a long while, she finally said, "So it turns out that Ning Wang is also a smart person. I know what I'm going to do. Please rest assured, Ning Wang!" After saying that, he flew out of the window without stopping.
