15. Prepare for the night
"What, my mother-in-law hasn't come back yet?" When Nalan Bing returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to ask Ahena if she had returned smoothly, but she was told that she had not returned to the mansion yet.
Nalan Bing and Mu Bai looked at each other, and secretly said that it was not good in their hearts, so they hurriedly left the house hand in hand.
The two of them arrived at the place where Athena had been robbed, and by this time the carriage and the bodies of the coachman and others had been cleaned up, but the traces of blood and the fight were still obvious.
"Here, there should have been a fierce fight today, and although the blood stains have dried up, it can still be seen that it should have been caused not long ago." Nalan Bing saw this scene, and his heart "chuckled".
She looked annoyed, frowned, and murmured: "It's all my fault, I should have thought that they would do both, on the one hand, on the bamboo peach, on the other hand, on the mother-in-law, but I was too worried about the bamboo peach at the time, and I didn't think too much about it for a while, but it made a big mistake."
I should have sent my mother-in-law home first. ”
Seeing her blaming herself so much, Mu Bai hurriedly stretched out her hand to stretch her brows, "Don't frown, it's not beautiful."
How can I blame you, Zhutao's side is also urgent.
This account is to be calculated, and it must be calculated by the person behind the design.
However, judging from the current situation, the possibility of the mother being injured and robbed is relatively high, and her life should be worry-free. ”
"If they dare to touch a single hair of their mother-in-law, I will let their whole clan pay for it, what should we do next?" Nalan Bing's heart was slightly confused, leaning on Mu Bai's body, wanting to hear his opinion.
"After a while, you go back to the house to investigate the injuries of Zhu Tao and Wenyao, and then rest early, today is also a busy day.
I will order someone to secretly visit my mother's whereabouts, and then go to the prince's mansion in person, anyway, the prince is also the son of his mother, if it is the Yelu family, I hope he can look at the blood nature and find out the whereabouts of the mother. Bing'er has done so much for him, and it should be time for him to share the burden for her.
"But......" Nalan Bing's natural hard work made her rest like this, and she was really not used to it.
"Don't do it, let's follow this road again, if there are no other clues, I will send you back to the house first, obedient."
Nalan Bing understood Mu Bai's painstaking efforts and nodded lightly, "Okay." ”
Along the way, there was no other discovery, so Mu Bai sent Bing'er back to the house.
"How's little Peach's injury?" Nalan Bing walked into Zhutao's room a little absentmindedly and asked Zhang Yan, who was checking her pulse.
"It's not a big deal, just a whiplash. Zhilu said that you will not rest assured, I deliberately came to the follow-up again, she has used medicine, just fell asleep, and the inflammation has disappeared a lot.
What's wrong? Your face is not very good. ”
"My mother-in-law is missing." Knowing that the bamboo peach was fine, Nalan Bing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought of Ashina, she frowned again.
"What? Auntie is missing? When did this happen? Zhang Yan was also taken aback by the news.
"After Zhutao was arrested today, I thought it should be Yelu Zongtu's plan, let me take care of one thing and lose the other, now I just hope that they just want to borrow my mother-in-law to blackmail me and Mu Bai, so that my mother-in-law has no worries, I am afraid that I will ......" Nalan Bing didn't dare to imagine that if her mother-in-law really had an accident because of this, how would she face Mu Bai in the future.
"Don't think about it, Aunt Ji has her own natural appearance, she was so dangerous back then, she was able to escape all the way to Tiannan safely, and now she will be fine.
By the way, just now someone from Dali Temple sent a letter, ordering Zhu Tao to go to Dali Temple tomorrow to open a trial for murder and selling fake medicine. Zhang Yan handed over the documents of Dali Temple to Nalan Bing.
Nalan Bing took the paperwork and smiled coldly, his heart that had been deflated by Athena's matter was full of combat power again. Mu Bai went to find the prince, but the prince was raised by the queen single-handedly, and he was afraid that he had no good impression of his mother-in-law, and it was very likely that he would not be able to recall his affection for his mother-in-law by blood alone, and Mu Bai was likely to return in vain.
However, in the territory of the northern capital, she dared to openly attack her mother-in-law, except for Yelu Zongtu and the queen, she really couldn't think of anyone else, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor cared about her mother-in-law. If they really kidnapped her mother-in-law, she would have to hold some of their handles in her hands, so that she could be prepared.
The trial will start tomorrow, and Nalan Bing's mind is smart and calculating.
"Ah Yan, do you have anything to do in a while?" She was going to do something while the night was dark.
Zhang Yan was a little confused, and thought for a while: "The medicine still needs to be injected again, and then there is nothing wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"Let's go, I'll give you the needle to the medicine, and then you accompany me to do something."
Nalan Bing pulled Zhang Yan away with him.
Zhang Yan looked at her slightly excited expression, and knew that tonight's events must be unusual.
Just when Nalan Bing and Zhang Yan were preparing for tomorrow's case, Mu Bai came to the Prince's Mansion with a pot of high-quality osmanthus wine.
At this time, the prince's cold fever had gradually subsided, and when he saw Mu Bai, he was particularly surprised, but he was very enthusiastic.
"Brother Bai, I didn't expect you to come." The prince personally welcomed Mu Bai to the main hall in his garden, and ordered someone to prepare refreshments.
"I heard that you came back from the grassland, and you are not feeling well, so I came to see you." Mu Bai placed the osmanthus wine in front of the prince, "This wine was brewed by my mother when she first arrived in Tiannan more than 20 years ago, and she once vowed to let her two sons drink this pot.
For this, she brought wine all the way from Tiannan to Cangbei. ”
When the prince heard this, his face warmed, and he held the wine jug with some trembling, "She, she has a heart." ”
Mu Bai has been carefully observing the prince's expression, and then said: "For more than 20 years, she has been thinking about you every day, this pot of wine is full of thousands of days of thoughts, and countless tears, please taste it carefully."
Actually, my mother wanted to see you in person, but she was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so she gave up. ”
The prince's eyes were red, and he shook his head helplessly, "Xie Lu thanked her for her understanding, it was my unfilial piety, in fact, in fact, I also wanted to see her, in the past 20 years, I have also fantasized about her appearance countless times, but I have never seen it." ”
The prince's attitude today surprised Mu Bai, he had contact with the prince earlier, and the prince has never been lukewarm and arrogant towards him. But when it comes to his mother today, the prince is eager to touch him but helpless under the queen's majesty, it is said that this is a good thing, and his words are also sincere, but he always feels that something is wrong.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to see each other now." Mu Bai deliberately lowered his voice and said.
"What's wrong?" The prince's face was full of doubts, "Are you afraid that the queen mother will oppose it?" ”
He lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and said softly, "I can carry the queen mother on my back and see her secretly." ”
"My mother is missing, and I suspect that she was hidden by the queen or the king." Mu Bai stared at the prince's eyes and said deliberately.
"No, right?"
