746 A Crisis
This kitten was left behind by the king’s mother.
He treasured this kitten very much and secretly kept it in his harem to protect it.
Everyone thought it was a stray kitten. However, Wang Zisheng, who had seen the future, knew that it was the king’s favorite.
Jiang Ming was rather curious.
If it was really as Leng Jinyan said, who would the king choose?
After the royal consort’s ceremony, the king was very happy and drank a few more glasses of wine.
Jiang Ming blended into the crowd and waited with Zhu Asi.
When Wang Siqing saw the kitten, she was furious and kept screaming at it.
This was seen by the servants, and they quickly reported it to the king.
The king was furious and slapped Wang Siqing.
Wang Siqing could not believe it. Her hands were trembling, but she had no choice but to bear it. Then, she pushed all the blame onto Jiang Ming.
“I saw an identical kitten at my sister’s place before. It must have been Ning Caichen who set this up. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?”
The king was rather rational, and he immediately started to consider Wang Siqing’s words.
He immediately called for Prince Qiqihar. “My son, I need you to test Ning Caichen to see if he has any intentions of using our kingdom’s government.”
Upon hearing his father’s words, Prince Qiqihar was stunned. Then, he spoke up for Jiang Ming. “Father, Ning Caichen would definitely not do this. Are you sure you’re correct?”
Seeing that his eldest son was speaking up for Jiang Ming, the king sneered. “I don’t think you need to test Ning Caichen, after all. Just let him come over.”
Anything that could threaten his government could not continue to exist in this world.
“Yes, Father.”
Prince Qiqihar was a little worried, but he did not dare to show it. He only nodded and left.
After he left, he paused. He could not understand.
His father was fine. Why would he get mad at Ning Caichen? What exactly happened?
When they arrived at the prime minister’s residence, the prime minister was in the study. When he heard the servant’s report, he hurriedly went out to welcome Prince Qiqihar.
Prince Qiqihar laughed and pretended to be relaxed. He smiled and said, “Prime Minister, I’m here to look for Lord Ning Caichen.”
The prime minister was rather disappointed, but he did not say much. He smiled and replied, “Lord Ning Caichen is in the queen’s courtyard.”
Ever since Wang Zisheng became the queen, Jiang Ming had been leaving early and returning late. He had been staying with Wang Zisheng in the palace.
“Alright, thank you, Prime Minister.”
Prince Qiqihar turned around and left, feeling strange.
Why was Ning Caichen hanging out with Wang Zisheng?
Wang Zisheng was not a good person. It seemed that Wang Zisheng had done something to rope Ning Caichen into her schemes without him knowing.
At the thought of this, Prince Qiqihar became vigilant and went to Wang Zisheng’s courtyard.
At this moment, Wang Zisheng was lying on a recliner. When she saw Prince Qiqihar, she felt a little strange and asked, “Why are you here?”
“Your Majesty, I’m here for Lord Ning Caichen,” Prince Qiqihar hurriedly said in a calm voice.
He was somewhat contemptuous of Wang Zisheng. He did not like her.
He was very disdainful of the queen’s seduction of the king, but he could understand why she did it. She was being ostracized by her family, and she wanted to stand up for herself.
“Cui’er, take the prince to find Lord Ning Caichen.”
Wang Zisheng was drinking tea. At this moment, she picked up the teapot lid and knocked her teacup with it. There was very little emotion in her eyes.
This was the first time Prince Qiqihar had seen Wang Zisheng display emotions. He now understood why his father had conferred the title of queen on her.
Prince Qiqihar stopped thinking about it and turned to follow Cui’er to where Jiang Ming was.
Jiang Ming was a little surprised when he saw Prince Qiqihar, but he quickly reacted. “Prince Qiqihar, is there anything you need here?”
Prince Qiqihar burst into laughter, but he soon became serious. “How did you interact with the queen? Are you really involved in the politics of the Qiqihar kingdom?”
He was obviously fishing for information.
He also disliked the way Wang Zisheng spoke to him. It was too casual.
He simply did not acknowledge this queen who was about the same age as him. It was simply ridiculous!
However, Jiang Ming was being secretive. “If I participated in the politics of the Qiqihar Kingdom, would it matter? Do you want to go against me?”
These words immediately stunned Prince Qiqihar.
It took a while for Prince Qiqihar to react. He said calmly, “Lord Ning Caichen, if you are really involved in our politics, I hope you can leave the Qiqihar Kingdom.”
He started to regret his actions.
He felt that he had invited a wolf into his house, but there was nothing he could do.
In addition, Jiang Ming seemed to have already done something irreversible. He could no longer stop him.
At the thought of this, Prince Qiqihar felt extremely regretful and frustrated.
He would definitely chase Ning Caichen out today. The Qiqihar Kingdom could not change, and it could not change its government. Only his father could rule this kingdom!
Seeing Prince Qiqihar’s troubled expression, Jiang Ming roughly understood what was going on. “Prince Qiqihar, are you chasing me away? Are you sure you want to do that? You were the one who invited me here first.”
His smile was friendly, but his eyes were sharp.
Prince Qiqihar shuddered. However, he hardened his heart and continued, “Lord Ning Caichen, you should leave. I will prepare everything for your departure. Also, didn’t you plan to leave? It’s just a matter of time.”
Jiang Ming smiled faintly. “Prince Qiqihar, this is also your father’s request, right? Prince Qiqihar, you should have seen the treatment and attitude I received when I came to the Qiqihar Kingdom.”
He was somewhat unconvinced.
The prince and the king had the same moral character. No wonder they were father and son.
It was fine if the king had come to threaten them, but now, the prince had come to chase them away.
“I’m very sorry, Lord Ning Caichen, but today, I really need you to make some sacrifices.”
