The Return of the Demon

Chapter 235 The Royal Family's Daughter Grows Up

Ning Chen was shocked.

After he came to his senses, he laughed and said, "I was just joking with the Ninth Princess... May I ask what other poems the Second Prince has written?"

The Ninth Princess snorted, "Second brother is amazing! It's a pity that God is jealous of talents. He has written only three poems in total, but each of them is a masterpiece of all ages, no worse than you."

"In addition to the one just now. He also wrote "Quiet Night Thoughts", the moonlight shines on the bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground. I look up at the moon and think of my hometown."

"There is also a poem "Mourning the Peasants", hoeing the field at noon, sweat dripping on the ground. Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work."

Ning Chen's heart was in turmoil.

He can now be sure that he has met a fellow traveler, and the Second Prince must have traveled through time.

It's just that he was unlucky and was poisoned to death by the Queen and the Prince.

Ning Chen suddenly realized.

He finally understood why Emperor Xuan favored him so much...maybe because he looked like the Second Prince.

If only the Second Prince was still alive.

No, if the second prince was still alive, he would have read all the poems for free, so why would he still be here?

It is also possible that this fellow who traveled through time and space did not have a high level of education, after all, these three poems are all in elementary school textbooks.

Ning Chen asked curiously: "These three poems are indeed eternal masterpieces, and they should be passed down. Why do I rarely hear them?"

The Ninth Princess said: "Father loved my second brother the most. After my second brother died suddenly, my father was heartbroken... Later, everyone was afraid that my father would be sad, so they didn't dare to read these poems easily."

Ning Chen said, "Oh, so this is the reason.

"Princess, in addition to being good at writing poems, does the second prince have other outstanding qualities?"

The Ninth Princess was a little puzzled, "Other outstanding qualities?"

Ning Chen hummed and said: "For example, how is his style of doing things different from that of ordinary people?"

The Ninth Princess shook her head: "I don't know about this. I was still very young at that time."

Ning Chen didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around to ask others.

The Ninth Princess looked at him and waved her little pink fist: "Ning Chen, you dare to use my second brother's poem to deceive me... I'll punish you to write a new one, otherwise be careful of my fists."

Ning Chen smiled bitterly.

Suddenly, he raised a sly smile and said, "I got it!"

The Ninth Princess' eyes lit up slightly.

Ning Chen looked at the Ninth Princess, and the sly smile on his mouth could hardly be concealed, and he said:

"The royal family has a daughter who has just grown up, with strength to pull mountains and spirit to conquer the world. No one has tasted her red lips, and she beats the young man to death with random punches."

Ning Chen regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, because the Ninth Princess's eyes were almost glaring with fire.

She stared at Ning Chen with shame and anger.

"Bold Ning Chen, you dare to tease this princess?"

No one has tasted her red lips... This is already naked teasing.

Ning Chen hurriedly said, "Princess, please forgive me. I just wanted to find a way to get along with you. I definitely didn't mean to tease you."

The Ninth Princess was ashamed and angry, and she was too embarrassed to dwell on this sentence. She said angrily, "What does the strength to pull mountains and the courage to conquer the world mean?"

Ning Chen rubbed his arm and smiled, "I was praising the Ninth Princess for her strength. That punch just now almost broke my bones."

The Ninth Princess became even angrier, "You're praising a girl for her strength? Ning Chen, you really know how to praise people... I'll let you know what the strength to pull mountains and the courage to conquer the world means now?"

As she spoke, the Ninth Princess rushed over waving her little pink fist.

He Ye was anxious, "Princess, pay attention to your manners..."

But at this moment, how could the Ninth Princess listen? She waved her little fist and rushed towards Ning Chen.

When Ning Chen saw that something was wrong, he turned around and ran.

But he had an injury on his leg and couldn't run fast... He was soon caught up.

Ning Chen threw away the knife that was used as a crutch and held his head with both hands.

"Princess, I give up!"

"Hmph, you're scared now? It's too late!"

Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "Princess, just don't hit my back and legs... I have knife wounds on my body."

"Ah?" The Ninth Princess was stunned, and her little fist couldn't swing down. Her little face was full of worry, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ning Chen looked aggrieved, "Princess, didn't you give me a chance to say it?"

"Hmph, who told you to be so rude... Can't you take care of your body? How did you get hurt? Have you seen the imperial physician? What did the imperial physician say? Is it serious?"

The Ninth Princess said a lot of things, and her concern was beyond words.

Ning Chen raised her head and smiled, "I've seen it, it's just skin injuries, it will be fine in a few days!"

The Ninth Princess snorted, "I'll let you go this time, I'll remember this punch for you."

This guy dared to say that she was strong and powerful, is this a compliment to a girl?

He also said that no one had ever tasted her red lips... With this sentence, he could be punished for a serious crime of disrespect.

However, after being disturbed by Ning Chen, the Ninth Princess' mood improved a lot.

Ning Chen saw that it was almost time and was about to say goodbye, but heard the Ninth Princess say: "Ning Chen, can you take me to see the Crown Prince?"

"This???"

Ning Chen hesitated a little, the deposed Crown Prince was imprisoned in the death row of the Supervisory Department.

The Ninth Princess' mood fell again, "No matter what the Crown Prince did wrong? He has always been very good to Huai'an... I want to go see him."

Ning Chen thought for a while, His Majesty said that the Ninth Princess was in a bad mood and asked him to come and see... Taking the Ninth Princess to visit the deposed Crown Prince should not be a big problem, right?

And he could see that His Majesty did not want to kill the deposed Crown Prince.

Ning Chen nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll take you!"

"He Ye, go and prepare some delicious food...I'm going to visit the prince brother."

...

Ning Chen drove himself and took the Ninth Princess to the prison of the Supervision Department.

In a death cell, the prince huddled in the corner with disheveled hair and a look of embarrassment, looking dull.

Ning Chen and Ninth Princess came to the cell door, but the prince didn't respond.

"Brother Prince... Huai'an is here to see you!"

The Ninth Princess shouted softly, biting her red lips with her white teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.

The deposed prince heard the sound and slowly raised his head to look, his eyes dark.

The dignified prince, the future emperor, is now a prisoner... falling from heaven to hell, no one can bear it.

Ning Chen asked the jailer to open the cell door and walked in with the Ninth Princess.

"Brother Prince, I brought you some food, all your favorites."

Huai'an stepped forward and placed the food box in front of the deposed prince.

The deposed prince looked at the Ninth Princess and forced a smile, "Now that I have fallen to this, it's rare that you still care about me."

The Ninth Princess couldn't help tears falling down her cheeks.

The deposed prince looked at Ning Chen, "When will I behead him?"

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know! Your Majesty has the final say when to kill you."

The deposed prince smiled bitterly, "Ning Chen, remember the first time we met, you were dressed in thin clothes, and I was dressed in gorgeous clothes... Now, you are in gorgeous clothes, and I am in prison clothes."

"Life is really unpredictable... Thinking about it now, everything seems like a dream!"

Ning Chen was about to speak when he heard Ninth Princess say: "Brother Prince, can I ask you something?"

The deposed prince nodded slightly, "Ask?"

"Did you really kill my second brother?"

The deposed prince was silent for a long time, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "So be it! Although I never thought about killing Lao Er, I did deliver that jar of wine to Lao Er."

"After your second brother died suddenly, I realized that there was something wrong with the jar of wine... But by then, I was already deeply involved and couldn't stop."

The ninth princess burst into tears. He didn't know whether he should blame the prince's brother?

The deposed prince sighed and looked at Ning Chen: "Take her back and don't come back again."

He didn't want Huai'an to see him in such a mess.
