Chapter 154: Missing
In the carriage, Jiang Ningning asked the woman in disbelief, "Aunt Wang, who do you say he is?" ”
"Second prince? The Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs of our house is relatively close to the Huangzhuang, and the old slave remembers that he has seen the second prince there, and this must be him. ”
"What you said is true?"
"It's true, Miss, Miss, look at this jade pendant, who dares to engrave the real dragon except for the royal family!"
After Aunt Wang said this, Jiang Ningning understood why he always felt that this person was familiar, if it was the second prince, then they might have really seen it somewhere.
Looking at the second prince who was always unconscious in the carriage, Jiang Ningning hooked a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
She remembered that many princes in the capital commented on the second prince as a smiling tiger, who seemed to be very enthusiastic about everyone, but in fact, he was hidden in his heart and dark and cunning.
This kind of deep-minded person is the most difficult to open his heart, and he saved him when his life and death were uncertain, he must be grateful, coupled with his beauty and intelligence, he doesn't believe that he can't take the second prince.
As long as she finds an opportunity to join the royal family, she can become Meng Qiqi's sister-in-law, no matter whether the second prince can win the throne or not, at least she will have the opportunity to take Meng Qiqi in the future.
At this time, Meng Qiqi and Yan Fei had already returned to the capital.
It is now the beginning of autumn, and it is almost the day when the emperor decrees the addition of the imperial examination, but the candidates for the examiners, the procedures for the scientific examination, and the examination questions have not yet been determined.
These issues should have been discussed between Prime Minister Jiang and the emperor, but because of Jiang Ningning's audacity, Prime Minister Jiang took the initiative to confine himself in the palace for a month, and the other ministers did not want the emperor to care about the selection of talents, so they kept putting things off.
Before, Meng Qiqi didn't have time to find a chance to enter the palace to discuss, but now that the days are decreasing day by day, she naturally doesn't want to drag it out any longer.
"Father, take a good look at this list, can anyone with outstanding political achievements be selected as an examiner?"
"I'll take a look first."
Seeing that his father was not going to summon Prime Minister Jiang at all, Meng Qiqi was overjoyed, and after handing over the list and constitution he had selected, he sat aside with snacks.
It was really happy to see that his father finally suppressed the Jiang family and wanted to support the rookie, and he was happy, but there was a sudden message from a guard outside the door of the imperial study asking to see the emperor.
How could anyone ask to see his father at this time?
I saw that the guard hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng's daughter disappeared on the way to send her relatives!" ”
The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"What!"
The tea bowl in Prime Minister Jiang's hand smashed to the ground and fell apart.
How could it be, how could something happen to Jiang Ningning?
He didn't believe it, the kidnapping of the Seventh Princess had already settled down, he wanted to investigate it himself, he must find out!
"Take me there, where did Ning'er have an accident, there are our Zhuangzi on both sides of the road to send off relatives, how could Ning'er have an accident!"
"Master, the people in Zhuangzi were doing other things at that time, and it was too late to find out that the young lady was missing."
Prime Minister Jiang didn't believe it, so he immediately took someone out of the house to search.
The next moment, the palace and the Li Mansion all received the news, and Meng Qiqi knew that Jiang Ningning's disappearance was true.
I thought that I could arrange the imperial examination well, but how did the extra incidents happen one after another!
Who is making trouble, she finally stabilized Jiang Ningning and asked her to honestly not seek death, go home to get married, how could something happen on the way to send her relatives?
On the Li family's side, there are people who are smiling happily.
She knew very well in her heart that Jiang Ningning had not disappeared at all, but this kind of news showed that Jiang Ningning had not gone home at all, and she was really as she expected, she had no face to go home, and she was determined to hide in the dark.
I believe that Jiang Ningning must have a way to let Prime Minister Jiang know that she was harmed by Meng Qiqi, and then she can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
When he came to the place where his daughter had an accident, Prime Minister Jiang found a bloodstain and his eyelids jumped.
He squatted down, carefully reached out and touched it, found that the grass was slightly wet, and immediately asked, "What's the matter, something must have happened here, why is there no trace at all!" ”
The housekeeper took a closer look and found the clue, looked at the river next to him, and hesitated: "Maybe someone deliberately cleaned this place?" ”
The weather was sunny on these two days, and it didn't rain at all, which would not have happened if no one had deliberately cleaned up.
The butler's hesitant attitude has already made Prime Minister Jiang understand that he didn't investigate carefully at all, and it was fortunate that he came in person, otherwise wouldn't he really give up on Ning Ning, thinking that she was missing, and she would be regarded as no news from now on?
Prime Minister Jiang's eyes were ruthless, and he sternly asked the housekeeper next to him: "I don't care what you thought before, in short, now, immediately, immediately send a figure to this prime minister to search here carefully, and report anything you find immediately." ”
"Ning Ning's whereabouts are not bad for a day, so don't close your eyes for a day!"
"Yes!"
Seeing Prime Minister Jiang leave angrily, the housekeepers and the little servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, they had never seen the Prime Minister who had always been gentle and elegant have such a side, this kind of cruel words were ruthless everywhere, and it was the first time they had heard this kind of order.
Thinking about it carefully, they have all heard of Jiang Ningning's methods in the boudoir, but they have never believed it, and now they think about it, both father and daughter are a virtue.
They have caused so many things and have been punished, and now they are going to be burdened again, and it is really unjust to vent their anger on them!
It's just that the family members feel that no matter how wronged they are, they have to search here well, so that they can return to their homes to rest as soon as possible.
The hard work paid off, and after a day and a night, they really found clues from the mud on the riverbank, found a waist card in the palace, and a note.
After sending these back to the house, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng really smiled when he saw it, but he became even more angry in an instant, and hurriedly entered the palace.
Manager Jiang looked at Prime Minister Jiang's menacing posture, although he didn't know what was written on the note, he knew that the Jiang Mansion was about to start to be restless again.
In the imperial study, Meng Qiqi and the emperor had just left after appointing any examiner, and a guard came to pass on Prime Minister Jiang to ask for a meeting.
The emperor was about to rest, so he asked the guards to pass the word and ask the prime minister to come back another day.
But the guards had not been able to say a few words when they went out, and they hurried in again.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng said that he was in a hurry to see the emperor because of something important, and he wanted to see the seventh princess, and said that he must see him now!"
The emperor frowned, the prime minister has always acted steadily and decently, and he would never do such a hard thing to see, why is this time?
Thinking of receiving the news of Jiang Ningning's disappearance yesterday, could something really happen?
"Don't go to the Seventh Princess yet, you want the prime minister to come in."
"Yes."
After Prime Minister Jiang Cheng came in, he directly asked the emperor if he could invite the seventh princess to meet.
The emperor originally wanted to care, but when he saw his posture of asking for guilt, he suddenly became angry, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, so he perfunctorily said that it was too late to summon the seventh princess into the palace.
