Novel Bin Chapter 314 - 314 Scheme
When the teacup in the fourth prince’s hand was slammed on the table, the crisp sound frightened Princess Ning Fu, who hurriedly kowtowed to him a few more times and begged for mercy. “No, I wouldn’t dare to.
“I don’t dare to say that. However, Duke Huai Yang’s ministry is in decline and I only want to rely on Your Highness for stability. I really don’t dare to be disloyal to you!”
“Alright, get up first.” The fourth prince raised his hand aloofly and gestured for Princess Ning Fu to get up. “Since you just want to rely on me for a peaceful life, learn to be obedient. Don’t interfere in things that shouldn’t concern you and don’t ask questions that shouldn’t be asked! Remember your identity.”
!!
“I understand. It’s just that what I said last night was indeed the truth. I know that you have a deep brotherly relationship with Mr. Pei, but your status is clearly higher. Moreover, you were traumatized at that time and couldn’t be neglected at all. I went to beg Madam Liu, but she…”
As Princess Ning Fu spoke, she glanced at the fourth prince carefully. Seeing that he had no intention of interrupting her, she continued, “At first, she said that she was worried about Mr. Pei’s injuries, so she didn’t come over to treat you. Later on, she finished treating Mr. Pei, but she didn’t think of coming over to take a look at you!
It can be explained with the excuse that she was too tired last night, but when you went over just now, she clearly saw that you didn’t look good. However, from the beginning to the end, she didn’t mention taking your pulse.
Isn’t this too outrageous?!”
After Princess Ning Fu finished speaking, she didn’t dare to look up. She only lay on the ground and waited for the fourth prince’s reaction.
She wasn’t stupid. From the first time the fourth prince saw Madam Liu, she had already sensed the fourth prince’s infatuation with that woman. Later on, the few times they met after deepened her conviction.
The fourth prince must be more interested in Madam Liu than he was in her.
How could the proud Princess Ning Fu tolerate this? Madam Liu was just a married woman who wasn’t even that gorgeous. She only had some medical skills. What right did Madam Liu have to compete with her?
“Princess, I know what you’re thinking.” The fourth prince raised his eyes slightly and stared at Princess Ning Fu for a long time before saying with a smile, “You want to become my concubine, right?
“You even plan to replace the fiancée who’s already engaged to me and become my wife, right?”
“I wouldn’t dare to.” Although Princess Ning Fu indeed thought so, she would be crazy to admit it in front of the fourth prince.
She tried her best to maintain her composure as she explained to herself, “I just…”
“Alright, raise your head. It’s not wrong to be ambitious. Like you, I’m also ambitious. But since you’re ambitious, you should have a brain that matches your ambition!”
The fourth prince picked up his teacup and took a sip before continuing to look at Princess Ning Fu with a smile. “Have you ever thought about how Duke Huai Yang’s ministry can help you become my wife?”
Princess Ning Fu straightened up and looked up at the fourth prince, but when she heard his words, she quickly lowered her head again and her eyes turned red with shame.
His words were like a stab to the heart.
If Duke Huai Yang’s ministry still had the power and influence it had in the past, would she, the dignified princess, need to personally fight for her future?
“I can promise you that you’ll be able to obtain the position you want the most in the future! But how are you going to repay me?” The fourth prince stared at Princess Ning Fu, who was silent. After a while, he enticed her by saying, “You have to know that even if you can’t become my wife, you can still become my concubine.
But what do you want to rely on to secure your position?”
“I’m slow-witted and have nothing but adoration for Your Highness. Please tell me what to do. I’ll definitely do my best to serve Your Highness.” Although Princess Ning Fu was a little indignant, she had no choice but to compromise. She knew very well that she was already in a precarious situation. Other than obeying, there was no other way!
“You can tell that I have feelings for Madam Liu, right?” The fourth prince raised his hand to grab a roasted chestnut. Then, he slowly peeled the shell. He didn’t hide his desire for Lin Suisui at all.
“Her medical skills are brilliant, so if she can be used by me, it will be of great help to me!
Of course, if you can enter my backyard with her, with her help, you can be of even more help. Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of children, you’ll have an advantage.
“You also know how important children are to the royal family. As long as you can get her help and successfully give birth to a child, will you still need to be afraid that you won’t be able to keep your status in my family?”
“But Madam Liu already has a husband.” It had to be said that Princess Ning Fu was really tempted. However, although she was tempted, she had not completely lost her rationality.
Madam Liu and her husband didn’t seem to be on bad terms.
“That’s right. Therefore, even if she enters my family, her status naturally can’t compare to yours. Isn’t that good?” As the fourth prince spoke, he walked over and stood in front of her. Then, he stuffed the peeled chestnut into Princess Ning Fu’s mouth as he chuckled. As bent down to meet her gaze, he said with a seductive smile, “Princess, I’ve paved the way for you. As for whether you want to seize the chance or not, it’s up to you.”
After saying that, the fourth prince stood up and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his fingers. Before Princess Ning Fu could respond, someone outside reported, “Your Highness, Qian He requests to see you.”
“Let him in,” the fourth prince replied. Then, he turned to look at Princess Ning Fu, who was still kneeling on the ground. “Why are you still kneeling? Get up!”
“Thank you, Your Highness. I’ll think about it carefully.” Princess Ning Fu was very flustered as she chewed the chestnut in her mouth. Then, she kowtowed to the fourth prince to thank him before standing up and retreating to the side.
At this moment, Qian He followed the fourth prince’s instructions and strode in.
