Chapter 251: Conjecture
"Second prince, that day, I and my men went to search for the whereabouts of the crown prince and Ning Lesheng, but we passed through a mountain forest, and the sound of a wild beast came out from it, you said, since those two people were so seriously injured, could it be possible that they had been eaten by wild beasts?
It's very likely.
After listening to the secret guard's report, the second prince also thought about it for a while.
According to what the dark guard said before, the prince was hit with a sword in the chest this time, and he was in danger, plus that Ning Lesheng was just a young lady in the deep boudoir, and he had no ability to deal with these situations at all, so the situation that the dark guard said now is not impossible.
But if that's the case, those two people really can't die.
"Isn't there anyone living in that place?"
Out of consideration, the second prince still opened his mouth to ask a few words from the secret guard, wanting to know a little more about the situation in that place.
As a result, I didn't expect the secret guard to reply to himself that the place was inaccessible, and there were basically no people and it was very desolate.
All of a sudden, he was invisibly given the impression that those two people were really likely to have had an accident.
If that's really the case, then he really did it just right. After the dark guard left, the second prince sat in his study and thought about it left and right.
Suddenly, I felt a little proud in my heart.
You must know that in this deep palace, many people put their thoughts and expectations on Shen Yunqin, so from childhood to adulthood, what he has is the best, and he has always enjoyed things and positions that he has never been able to touch, even if it is the position of the crown prince.
He wanted not to care about so many things, but the reality whipped his body again and again, how could he still not care.
The disparity in identity, even if he is a prince, he still can't let himself live in this deep palace openly.
The only way for him to live the life he wants is to get to that position.
Now, at last, that wish is finally coming true.
The second prince thought of the current situation, and the more he thought about it, the more happy he felt in his heart.
But there are also some lingering palpitations.
The consummation of all this is indeed just right, but it's a pity that Ning Lesheng lost the life of a good girl in vain.
After learning the news, the second prince immediately asked people to go to the prime minister's mansion to find Ning Yinli and make an appointment for the two to meet.
After all, the two of them are in a cooperative relationship.
Even though his goal is about to be achieved now, after all, everything has not yet settled, and if Ning Lesheng is really gone, then the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who can influence the Prime Minister's dependence will be Ning Yinli.
He still has to be polite to her at this time, and he must not easily provoke her. Just when the second prince was thinking about these things, Ning Yinli happened to come in from outside.
As soon as he entered the door and saw the second prince sitting opposite, Ning Yinli's face was unknown.
"Why did you suddenly call someone to come to me? But what happened? Or is there news from the prince and Ning Lesheng?"
Sometimes, although the second prince doesn't like Ning Yinli's self-righteousness very much, he has to admit that sometimes what she says is still a little sharp, just like now, he hasn't waited to speak, and has already guessed his intention.
"Yes, today, I'm coming to you to talk about this."
After the second prince motioned for Ning Yinli to sit down, he slowly poured her a cup of tea, and then unhurriedly began to explain his intention to call her out to meet today.
"Today, one of my secret guards came back to see me, saying that they did not find the whereabouts of those two people, and they chased all the way to a deep mountain, where there were wild beasts at that time, and those two people were seriously injured, and the other was a weak woman, and they had no great ability, but they were afraid that they would be swallowed by wild beasts and there were no bones left.
Ning Yinli listened to the words of the second prince, but in fact, she still felt that something was not right in her heart.
After all, these things are only speculated by the people of the second prince themselves, and they don't know how much truth there is, plus the situation is so grim at this time, these days when the prince and Ning Lesheng disappeared, even if everyone didn't notice these things at the beginning, but after so many days, it is bound to attract some people to pay attention to this, if something is found out from it, it will do them all harm and no benefit.
She still thinks she should be careful.
Just as Ning Yinli was thinking about these things, suddenly the second prince said something to her.
"I feel that I should tell these things now, since the whereabouts of the two of them are unknown, it is not impossible to directly announce the death of the two of them at this time, just so that everyone knows who is the person who can take on the big responsibility now.
The second prince said, revealing a lot of disdain in his words.
After listening to these words, Ning Yinli suddenly fell into deep thought.
She didn't think this was the time to talk about these things.
Now that the situation is uncertain, it is absolutely impossible to mess up at this time, let alone let others find out what they have to do with this incident.
So after Ning Yinli glanced at the second prince a few times, she still persuaded him.
"It's not the time for you to talk about these things, and now everyone doesn't know about the disappearance of the two of them, and not many people even know about the Prime Minister's Mansion, so if you suddenly tell about the death of these two people, it will definitely arouse everyone's suspicions, and this is not a very good decision.
When the second prince heard Ning Yinli's words, he couldn't help frowning.
"And what do you think we should do?"
He felt that his goal was about to be achieved, so he felt extremely excited and excited, and he wished that he could inherit the position of the prince immediately. went up, so he didn't take too many things into account, and when Ning Yinli mentioned it like this, he suddenly seemed to be suddenly alert, and he also felt that he was really lacking in consideration when he did this.
"It's good for you to spread some such rumors in the palace first, just rumors, don't make any definite news, let everyone get used to it first, don't hear the exact news all at once, so that they can accept it better."
