Chapter 329: Suspicion
On the other side, after the three princes returned to their own mansions, they walked directly to the study angrily, and they didn't even pay attention to the people in the mansion to greet him, which provoked a burst of slander from the people in the mansion, what happened to their gentle and kind three princes today, and they didn't pay attention to themselves with an angry face.
At this time, Ning Junqi was not only angry, but also had a huge sense of panic enveloping him.
As soon as he sat on the wooden chair, Ning Junqi clenched his fists and slammed them on the table in front of him.
Two days ago, he suddenly remembered that Lu Yan still had the jade pendant he had given him earlier, with a unique pattern on it, and he was also engraved with the word "Qi" of Ning Junqi.
Although this jade pendant is nothing to Ning Junqi, if it is taken by others, it may cause unnecessary trouble, so Ning Junqi still sent someone to the mass grave to find the jade pendant back.
It didn't take long for the jade pendant to be recovered, but the people under his command came to inform him that there was no body of Lu Yan in the mass grave at all, and that the jade pendant was found on the ground not far from the mass grave.
That is to say, either Lu Yan did not die, he fell off the jade pendant on the way to escape, or someone removed Lu Yan's body, and the jade pendant accidentally fell out in the process of moving out, and the last possibility is that Lu Yan's death was an illusion made by others to deceive him, in fact, Lu Yan has long been in the hands of his political enemies, and as for political enemies, there are only the prince's gang.
In fact, no matter which possibility it is, it is not a good thing for Ning Junqi.
Especially if it was really the last possibility, thinking about Ning Junqi like this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety, he couldn't imagine that if Lu Yan was really taken away by the prince's people, if Lu Yan really betrayed himself, then ...... The consequences are terrible.
Ning Junqi, who had been nervous and scared all night, immediately made a decision, it was not his style to sit still and wait for death, if he didn't know what the enemy had in his hands, it was better to take the initiative and explore the depths.
If you really find out something, you can still make a way to respond in advance based on the information you know, and if you don't find out anything, you won't lose it, right?
So, after some possible speculation, he staged the situation that he led people to surround Hang Yixuan today.
After all, in Ning Junqi's speculation, the one who has the greatest interest competition with him is the crown prince, and the most important people under him are Xiao Hao, Chen Liu, and Hang Yixuan......
There will be no one who knows his royal brother better than him, he will never take action personally, he will definitely entrust this matter to the people under his hands, after all, the prince can't get a single bit dirty on his hands, and he is the same.
If before, Ning Junqi would definitely think that Lu Yan would be in Xiao Hao's hands, but now Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong followed General Dingguo to the front line, and they are not in the capital, then the remaining two, one is Chen Liu, the son of Chen Xiang, and the other is Hang Yixuan, the champion of the cold family.
At the beginning, Ning Junqi felt that Chen Liu harbored Lu Yan with the greatest possibility, but after some investigation by the people under him, he found that it was Hang Yixuan who had the problem, because since ten days ago, he began to frequently enter and exit a small courtyard, and before that, he had also hired an eldest lady to work in the hut, but the occupant of the hut was very mysterious, and no one had seen him so far.
This made Ning Junqi frown in an instant, and finally decided to test Hang Yixuan.
Although Hang Yixuan behaved today as if he didn't know anything, the tight skin at that moment still made Ning Junqi sense that something was wrong with him.
No matter who it is, if it is really found out that someone is in the way of him, no matter who it is, he will not show mercy.
Ning Junqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light shone out of his eyes.
At the same time, the backyard of the Three Princes' Mansion, the courtyard of the Song Side Concubine.
Song Tinghe sat quietly at the table, picked up a book of poems and read them carefully, although she couldn't understand the meaning of the poem at all, and even didn't even recognize some words until now, but this did not hinder her from wanting to edify her mood at all.
It is not a secret that the third prince Ning Junqi likes poetry and songs, and Song Tinghe also wants to do what he likes, after all, the third prince has not been to her courtyard for a long time, and during this time, His Royal Highness the Third Prince ran to the main courtyard every day as soon as he returned to the house, and the little face of the third princess for this time was moistened so red that Song Tinghe couldn't help but secretly bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
Although I don't know why Ning Junqi suddenly began to snub him, but he still has to fight for his favor, these are just preparing for his future actions, and after coming to the Three Princes' Mansion for such a long time, Song Tinghe has also fully understood that for the children of the nobles, the wealth inside is far more important than a delicate face.
So during this time, she studied hard and practiced diligently, and finally learned all the words she should recognize.
She didn't believe it, she couldn't win Ning Junqi's favor!
Just as she was thinking this, a maid walked to the door and knocked gently, then walked up to Song Tinghe, saluted Song Tinghe respectfully, and then said, "Master."
Song Tinghe didn't even give her a look, and continued to turn a page of the book, and then asked casually, "Coming?" How's it going?"
The maid heard Song Tinghe's voice, and hurriedly lowered her head a little, and said steadily: "Master, don't worry, the things you ordered the villain have been completed one by one, just wait for your order."
Hearing the maid's words, although Song Tinghe still looked cold, the corners of his mouth curved a slight arc, and then whispered to the maid: "Okay, go down."
I saw that the maid slowly saluted Song Tinghe, and then got up to leave, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief after turning around, as if she was just facing some abyss beast.
It's just that before she could relax for long, seeing that the maid was about to step out of the door, Song Tinghe's voice suddenly came faintly: "Where did the third prince go today?"
The maid seemed to have been pressed the pause button, her body stiffened in place, and after a long while, she turned back like a machine: "Tell the master, His Royal Highness the Third Prince still went to the main courtyard today, today, today." In the end, the maid can only break the jar and break it, after all, even if this matter is hidden, it will not be hidden for long.
But as soon as the words fell, the maid regretted it, this Concubine Song would not kill herself, she had heard about Concubine Song's bad temper before, what if Concubine Song sprinkled her anger on herself, how could she compete with the princess's concubine.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked this maid became, afraid that Song Tinghe would execute her Ling Chi in the next second.
The maid closed her eyes in fear and held her breath, and the cold sweat on her forehead unconsciously slipped down her white and tender skin.
"Okay, got it, you can step down."
The maid, who was already ready to be punished, heard Song Tinghe's words, and was a little incredulous, and for a while, she was stunned.
Yu Guang saw that the little maid had been standing in the room in a daze without reacting, Song Tinghe's brows couldn't help frowning, put down the books in his hand, and looked at the little maid with a pair of cool eyes with a little impatience: "What?" Not going yet?"
Hearing Song Tinghe's voice, the little maid suddenly came back to her senses, and after saluting Song Tinghe respectfully again, she left in a hurry, as if some monster was chasing her behind her.
Song Tinghe didn't care, but continued to raise the book in his hand to cover his face, but Song Tinghe didn't look at the words on the book at all.
Anyway, no matter what, His Royal Highness the Third Prince will definitely come to her side in the end.
A glimmer of light flashed in Song Tinghe's eyes.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
A strong musky smell gradually diffused from the incense burner in the house, permeating the delicately furnished room.
In this spacious room, there are two people sitting opposite each other playing chess, one is a middle-aged emperor wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon delicate embroidery, and the other is a young prince wearing a black robe, but the hem of the clothes is still embroidered with delicate patterns.
At this time, the prince played a white flag, and the path of the black chess was directly cut off, and the emperor, who saw this scene on the chessboard, praised the prince: "I haven't played against you for so long, and your chess skills have grown a lot?" Not bad. As he spoke, he stroked his beard.
The crown prince showed a faint smile at the emperor, and did not seem to have any emotional fluctuations because of the emperor's praise, but the words he said were indeed very sincere: "Father, in order to play against you, the son has done a lot of homework and found a lot of masters to play, if there is no progress, then the minister will really become a waste."
"But now it seems that even so many powerful masters are not as good as your father's chess strength, and it seems that your father still needs to hone his sons."
Hearing the prince's words, the emperor was amused, although he knew that this was the prince's sycophant, but seeing the prince say this so tightly, the emperor was still too happy.
After the laughter, the emperor smiled at the prince and scolded: "Prince, prince, you ghost elf, you know how to be obedient and tease me."
"How can the sons and daughters have, the sons are just telling the truth, isn't the father so powerful that the little ones will say it?" The crown prince looked at the good emperor with an expression of understanding.
The emperor was in a state of ecstasy again.
