Chapter 251: Missing
Miss Hou didn't hear how it happened, only heard the sentence 'The life of the whole family must be on the line'.
She panicked all of a sudden, tears came out instantly, grabbed Ning Lian's sleeve, and cried: "You can't blame me, I'm going to invite someone, Her Royal Highness the princess is accompanied by you, even if something happens, you don't want to hide!" β
"Shut up!"
Ning Jian couldn't take care of her stomach for a long time, reached out and grabbed Miss Hou's clothes, and threatened viciously: "It's the marriage temple you are looking for, and you arranged it, I can't escape, but who am I?" Yes?! β
"I'm the crown prince's concubine!" Ning Lian's eyes were a little red, and his voice became sharp, "I still have the imperial heir in my belly, what do you compare with me?" β
Miss Hou's face turned pale, and the whole person began to tremble, as soon as Ning Lian finished speaking, Miss Hou knelt down with a puff, hugged Ning Lian's calf, and cried: "Niangniang, please save me, save me!" I don't know what's going on! It was all fine before, why, how did the four princesses disappear if they don't see it. β
Ning Lian lowered his eyes to look at her, took a few deep breaths, and after a while, Ning Lian also eased up, raised his foot and kicked Miss Hou away, and said coldly: "What are you waiting for, hurry up and send someone to find it!" β
Miss Hou got up from the ground with a bone, nodded hurriedly, ran two steps and then turned back, supporting Ning Lian, and the two hurried back.
"What?!" The old emperor was resting in the dormitory, and suddenly heard the news that the fourth princess was missing, and he was immediately furious, "How can you be missing?" What about the palace maids who serve you closely? β
The palace maid beside the fourth princess hung her head, climbed in in a panic, and kowtowed to the old emperor.
The old emperor frowned and interrupted her, and asked, "Let you serve the four princesses closely, what about the four princesses?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, the fourth and fourth princesses are out of the palace with the side concubine Niangniang today." The voice of the personal palace maid was trembling.
"Out of the palace?" The old emperor stood up, glared at a pair of dragon eyes, and shouted: "Let the crown prince and concubine come in!" β
Ning Jian waited outside the hall, his heart was up and down, and when he heard the roar of the old emperor through the palace door, Ning Lian's whole person trembled, and his heart hung in his throat.
The eunuch asked Ning Jian to go in to face the saint, and Ning Jian paused for a long time before he mustered up the courage to walk in.
"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold ......"
"Enough!" The old emperor directly interrupted Ning Jian and said angrily: "The fourth princess disappeared after leaving the palace with you, you say, what is going on?" β
Where did Ning Lian dare to hide it, he told the matter before and after, and when he finished speaking, he felt that the temperature in the hall was lower, but Ning Lian was sweating profusely.
"Marriage Temple?" The old emperor snorted coldly and asked, "Since you are going to ask for a signature, why did you disappear again?" What a big deal is the princess leaving the palace, and how do you arrange the guards? β
There are no guards at all!
Counting this, this is still Ning Lian's attention, and he was also worried that the princess's trip would be too ostentatious, which would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, so Ning Lian let the fourth princess travel in microclothes, but who would have thought that something would have happened.
At this point, Ning Lian's heart immediately turned around, and he pushed all the things on Miss Hou, "The emperor is angry, the matter of asking for a sign was made with the fourth princess early in the morning, this was originally proposed by Miss Hou, I also watched the fourth princess hurt for the marriage, and wanted to take her out for a walk, and other things were arranged by Miss Hou." β
"Miss Hou?" The old emperor's majestic voice sank a little, and asked, "That Miss Hou?" β
"The daughter of Lord Hou of the Ministry of Officials, Hou Qianqian." Ning Lian replied.
"Come on, wait for Qianqian!" As soon as the old emperor slapped the table, Ning Lian shook again.
Hou Qianqian was already frightened stupid, and when she saw the emperor, she was even more confused, and she couldn't say anything clearly, Ning Lian secretly looked at Hou Qianqian, and when she heard her say that she went out to find someone and was with the fourth princess, Ning Lian suddenly interrupted her.
"Qianqian, although I was with the fourth princess at the time, as soon as you walked on the front foot, the pretending gangster came in on the back foot, and I don't know him, how do I know that he harbors evil intentions."
"It's you, who went out for so long and didn't come back, and you showed up as soon as the fourth princess had an accident." Ning Jian raised his eyes to look at the old emperor and said, "Who knows if you have colluded with others, what kind of marriage you use to confuse the fourth princess, and then want to be unfavorable to her!" β
The disappearance of the fourth princess could not be stopped no matter what, Ning Jian and Hou Qianqian hurried back to report the news, the palace had already sent someone to find it, and the garrison officials in Kyoto were all dispatched.
But whether he finds it or not, Ning Jian is responsible for taking the four princesses out of the palace, and now he can only put everything on Hou Qianqian, and he is creating the appearance that he was also deceived, and he may be able to escape.
Although Hou Qianqian was scared, she still knew the meaning of Ning Lian's words, and immediately looked up at Ning Lian in disbelief, shook her head and said, "No!" I didn't! Don't wronged me! β
Saying that, Hou Qianqian took two steps on her knees, with a pear blossom and rain on her face, and cried to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, I didn't collude with others to murder the fourth princess, I saw that the fourth princess was worried about marriage, and I also wanted to help the fourth princess solve her worries, so I heard about this marriage temple." β
"I asked people to check, and I also ordered the temple in advance, just to ensure the safety of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, it is she who ββ!" Hou Qianqiangou jumped off the wall in a hurry and began to bite each other with Ning Lian, "It must be her!" β
"Your Majesty, when I left, the fourth princess was left alone, and when I went back, there was no one in the wing, and then I saw the side concubine come back in a hurry, and the fourth princess was gone at that time!"
As she spoke, Hou Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly added: "I have witnesses, Your Majesty!" Miaozhu and that master are my witnesses, I have been waiting in front of them, they can testify for me! β
"Ridiculous!" Ning Jian interrupted Hou Qianqian's words in a cold voice and asked, "The fourth princess disappeared in the Marriage Temple, and the entire Marriage Temple is suspicious!" β
"Without their assistance, how could the gangsters get in touch with the four princesses smoothly." The more Ning Jian said, the more reasonable he felt, looked at the old emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the fourth princess disappeared in the marriage temple, and the marriage temple can't get rid of it. β
Hou Qianqian was so anxious that tears flowed, and she kowtowed to the old emperor vigorously, and blood soon appeared on her forehead, "The emperor is wronged!" Your Majestyβ"
"Shut up!" The old emperor listened to the two of you coming and going, his temples jumped suddenly, he had a headache that he hadn't committed for a long time, and suddenly he committed it again, he shook his body and sat down, raised his hand to press his temple, and ordered: "Put me in prison all of them, and when I find someone, I will deal with you!" β
Ning Lian's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, I am pregnant with the child of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if I am locked up in a prison that does not see the light of day, it will not be good for the emperor's heir!" β
After being reminded by her, the old emperor remembered that Ning Jian was pregnant, hesitated for a moment, and said coldly: "The crown prince's side concubine is grounded in the East Palace, and she is ready to summon her at any time before the matter is over!" β
