Chapter 252: Disrupted
"Take it down!"
The old emperor gave an order, and the guards at the door stepped forward together, and dragged Ning Jian and Hou Qianqian up from the ground one by one.
Hou Qianqian kept crying and shouting that she was wronged, but the guards dragged people away as if they hadn't heard. Ning Jian was pregnant with the imperial heir, and the old emperor said that he was grounded in the East Palace, so the guards naturally did not dare to slack off, and carefully sent the person back.
Stepping into the door of the East Palace, Ning Lian's heart suddenly relaxed.
Now that the fourth princess is missing, I am afraid that the whole of Kyoto will know about it, and it won't take long for Hou Qianqian to be imprisoned, and Lord Hou, the servant of the ministry, should also know.
But how others get out of danger Ning Lian doesn't care, she only knows that she must bite the fourth princess to death and the disappearance is related to Hou Qianqian, otherwise, it is herself who sees the fourth princess in the end, and the loss of the fourth princess is more serious In other words, it is to murder the royal family, even if Ning Lian is the prince's side concubine, she can't resist such a big crime.
"What the hell is going on!"
Ning Lian was thinking about it, Murong Cheng's cold voice came in, followed by a rush of footsteps, Ning Lian only felt a tightness on his shoulders, and then the whole person was taken around, facing Murong Cheng's cold eyes.
"Where did the fourth princess go?" Murong Cheng pinched Ning Lian's shoulders with both hands and asked in a cold voice, "You took the fourth princess out, what about the people?!" ”
"Your Highness is not me!" Ning Jian faced Murong Cheng, grievances and fears surged up together, tears flowed out directly, and he looked at Murong Cheng with tears in his eyes.
"I don't know what's going on, I just went out a little late, and the fourth princess disappeared."
"It's gone!" Murong Cheng increased the force on his hand, and said fiercely: "Your understatement is gone, do you know how much trouble you have broken me!" ”
persuaded the fourth princess to take the initiative to ask the old emperor to marry Jin Yuan, Murong Cheng spent a lot of effort, at this juncture, the fourth princess disappeared for no reason, and more importantly, Jin Yuan was not in Kyoto at all, and this matter had nothing to do with him anyway.
But the disappearance is small, but if something happens to the fourth princess, whether the person is alive or dead, this marriage will be suspended!
Ning Lian was pinched in pain, and shook his head again and again to explain: "I really don't know, Your Highness, I ...... It's Hou Qianqian! ”
"That's right! It's her! It was she who wanted to take Her Royal Highness the princess to the Marriage Temple, and the disappearance of the four princesses was all because of her! ”
Murong Cheng didn't care if he was Hou Qianqian or Ning Lian, he only knew that the fourth princess was missing, and the matter of Jin Yuan's marriage was variable, and even more, the disappearance of the princess involved Ning Lian, and it also involved the East Palace.
The old emperor didn't like himself in the first place, and he tried everything he could, and it was not easy to ease the relationship with the old emperor, but now if it was because of Murong Jiao and the old emperor's attitude towards the East Palace, this would be a major event that would directly affect the prince.
"Humph!" Murong Cheng still opened Ning Lian, snorted coldly, and his face was dark and terrifying.
Ning Lian sat on the ground, still carefully protecting his lower abdomen, watching Murong Cheng pacing back and forth, Ning Lian hung his head and didn't dare to come out.
"If you let Bengong know who is behind the trouble, Bengong will definitely not spare him!"
After saying this, Murong Cheng didn't look at Ning Lian, and strode out of the East Palace.
The sky soon darkened, everyone in the palace was silent, Murong Cheng didn't come back after leaving, Ning Jian didn't wait until late at night to wait for anyone, and today he was frightened again, he was very tired, but he couldn't sleep, he could only look at the palace door blankly, hoping that Murong Cheng would come back.
But Murong Cheng didn't return to the palace until the second half of the night, Ning Lian couldn't hold it back, and fell asleep in a daze.
"The fourth princess is missing?"
Early the next morning, Ning Zhao heard about this as soon as he got up, and he was very surprised, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The fourth princess disappeared yesterday in the marriage temple next to the Xingqiao in the district, this matter passed overnight, the whole Kyoto knew, the old emperor sent a lot of people to look for it, the crown prince and the king of Chu Murong Ji also sent people to find people, but there was no result.
The princess disappeared, martial law was imposed in Kyoto City, and officers and soldiers searched from house to house, which made people panic.
"I heard that the eldest lady and Miss Hou took the fourth princess out of the palace, and now that the eldest lady is grounded in the East Palace, Miss Hou is more miserable." Saying that, Qing Cicada couldn't help but flatten his mouth, "I said that I went to prison directly." ”
Ning Zhao frowned slightly.
This matter came too suddenly, the fourth princess was in the inner garden of the deep palace all the year round, and something happened as soon as she left the palace, if there was no conspiracy, Ning Zhao would not believe it.
can put aside the identity of Princess Murong Jiao, she is just a woman, who can she make enemies with in the palace on weekdays, if you really want to count it, the fourth princess is a bit of a holiday with herself.
The old emperor's marriage, said directly in front of the civil and military officials, the whole of Kyoto knew that the old emperor wanted to recruit Jin Yuan as a concubine, but Jin Yuan already had his own, and the fourth princess had an accident at this time, and after a long time, some people would associate it with themselves.
Before Ning Zhao could figure it out, Liuying walked in from outside the courtyard and stopped two steps away from Ning Zhao.
"Ma'am." Shadow called.
"Something?" Ning Zhao asked.
Liuying raised his eyes to look at her and said, "When the adults leave, leave a message - Kyoto is not peaceful today, and Madame should not leave the house." ”
"Not peaceful?" Hearing this, Ning Zhao raised his eyebrows, looked at Liuying's eyes, and asked, "Others are far away in Zhigu Village, how do they know that Kyoto is not peaceful now." ”
As he spoke, Ning Zhao's eyes dimmed, staring firmly at Liuying, and asked, "The fourth princess disappeared yesterday, do you know what's going on?" ”
Liuying raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered his head again, and replied, "My subordinates don't know. ”
"I don't know?" Ning Zhao hooked the corners of his lips, glanced at Liuying meaningfully, then retracted his gaze, nodded, and said, "I know, I will stay in the house in the near future and will not go anywhere." ”
After receiving Ning Zhao's reply, Liuying nodded and took his leave.
When Ning Zhao and Qing Chan were left in the courtyard again, Qing Chan couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”
"What do you mean?" Ning Zhao smiled slightly, reached out and took a sip of the teacup on the table, and then said, "Solve the problem." ”
Ning Zhao's guess was right, and in the afternoon of the same day, someone from the palace came to spread the word, saying that the old emperor had something to ask Ning Zhao and asked her to face the saint immediately.
Ning Zhao received the order, went straight to the palace, and came to the Qinzheng Palace, the old emperor and several pavilion elders were there, everyone had a serious look on their faces, and when they saw Ning Zhao coming, they all looked at her.
"Courtiers see the emperor." Ning Zhao saluted the old emperor, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, no different from the past.
"Let's be flat." The old emperor opened his mouth, and then raised his hand and pressed the mountain root again.
Seeing that the old emperor was tired, Li Qiu, the right minister, opened his mouth for him, "Mrs. Ning invited you over today because she wanted to ask you something." ”
"Please say the right minister." Ning Zhao bowed slightly and replied.
"The fourth princess disappeared yesterday, can Mrs. Ning know about this matter?" Right Xiang asked.
Hearing this, Ning Zhao frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I heard it when I got up early today." ”
Saying that, Ning Zhao looked at the right minister worriedly and asked, "It's been a night, hasn't the person been found yet?" ”
No one in the hall replied, Ning Zhao immediately sighed, looked at the old emperor, and comforted: "The princess is a celestial person, and she is a true dragon goddess, with the blessings and grace of the emperor, she will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and return safely." ”
