Xia Ning was thrown by Fang Zhizhen in an abandoned firewood room near the courtyard, the door was locked, and he was not allowed to eat or drink.

For several days in a row, Jiao Zhan'er had never met Xia Ning, and she had wandered several times on the road she often walked, but there was no one. The kitten in his arms was put to sleep several times by him walking back and forth. It just so happened that Mingyang Palace had just finished renovating a house, and the surroundings were very messy and dusty, so Jiao Zhan'er went to the nearby courtyard to ask them to come over to help.

Fang Zhizhen saw Jiao Zhan'er and said with a smile:

"Someone will be sent over to the court."

Jiao Zhan'er let out an "um" and looked inside, but there was no Xia Ning. Fang Zhizhen was paying special attention to Jiao Zhan'er's actions now, and his gaze just now happened to be in his eyes. He asked:

"Who are you looking for?"

Jiao Zhan'er looked back and said:

"Nope."

With that, he turned and left. From Jiao Zhan'er's eyes, Fang Zhizhen felt that he was definitely not innocent towards Xia Ning. Hmph, the more this happens, the more I won't let you meet! Fang Zhizhen said fiercely in her heart.

The rewards given by the masters of the palace to the palace people are almost over, and only the close courtyard of the Ciyang Palace is not sent. Today, Liang Yuanhe asked Han Ying and Tao Qingling to complete this last task.

Han Ying and Tao Qingling chatted quietly as they walked, and they felt very fast, and they arrived at the nearby courtyard. Fang Zhangyuan received the reward, and after thanking them, he exchanged a few words with them. Just as the emperor sent an edict to Fang Zhizhen to go over, she said:

"Then the two of you, if you still have time, you can go around the nearby courtyard, after all, you are all people who go out here."

"Xie Zhangyuan, we're going back too."

Fang Zhizhen took the lead, followed by Han Ying and Tao Qingling. Just about to go out of the gate of the courtyard, Han Ying suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach, she knew the location of the thatched house, so she went over first to make it easier, and Tao Qingling was waiting for her at the door.

After solving the problem, Han Ying came out, just facing the abandoned firewood house, she remembered that it could still be used normally in the past, but now it is a person, and she doesn't know what Feng Yuxian is like now, after being sent away by Yi Chen, she can't see it at all. Out of nostalgia for the old feelings, Han Ying walked to the door of the firewood house, and saw that it was already cold and depressed, and her heart was even more emotional. She found that the firewood room was locked, and at first she didn't think much about it, thinking that the discarded things would not be used, and no one would come.

Han Ying took advantage of the sadness in her heart and gently touched the lock with her hand, thinking back to the past. Xia Ning, who was in the firewood room, heard movement outside the door, as if he saw hope, and snorted twice. She had not eaten rice and water for several days, and she was already weak and close to dying.

Han Ying suddenly heard a sound in the room, like a human movement. She was so frightened that she tried to break the lock with her hand, but she couldn't open it at all. She tentatively pushed the door open a little more, just as a ray of the sun shone in, shining on Xia Ning's pale and messy face! Han Ying was startled and couldn't help but take two steps back.

Unable to open her eyes illuminated by the light, Xia Ning got used to it for a while, and she tried hard to speak:

"Save ...... Help me......"

Han Ying first looked at the surroundings and saw that there were no other people around, she rushed into the crack of the door again to see, and there was really a palace maid, who seemed to have been punished by something, and she was covered in blood. However, if you look closely, it seems to be the palace maid named Xia Ning! Han Ying has seen her!

"Xia Ning?"

Han Ying shouted in a low voice, and Xia Ning heard that the person actually recognized him, and looked at it with great difficulty, as if he ...... It seems to be Han Ying......

"Hotaru...... Sister ......"

"It's me!"

Han Ying saw that the two of them were talking to each other, and hurriedly said:

"Anyway, I'll save you!"

Xia Ning listened, and was moved, and her tears slipped down without strength.

Han Ying knew that Xia Ning was locked up here, it must have been done by Fang Zhangyuan, and she was the only one in the courtyard who dared to imprison the palace maid like this. Now is not the time to ask the reason, she has seen this palace maid following Feng Yuxian before, it seems that Feng Yuxian is very proud of her, so in this way, she should also be a good person. Han Ying hurriedly left, not to make any extraneous branches.

"Why is it so long?"

Tao Qingling asked, Han Ying took her hand and said:

"Let's go, I'll tell you in a moment."

Tao Qingling looked at Han Ying's expression, knowing that something had happened to her, and quickly nodded.

"What?"

When she arrived at Ciyang Palace, Han Ying told the Nine Emperor Princes about the matter, she didn't know how to do it herself, but she believed that the Nine Emperor Princes would definitely have a way. Tao Qingling was surprised when she heard this, but soon she looked as usual:

"Firefly, don't worry about this matter, it has nothing to do with us, be careful of offending others!"

Han Ying said:

"That palace maid only has a few faces, and her personality makes me feel very responsible. Besides, now that everyone in the palace knows that Fang Zhangyuan is harsh, I am really worried that Xia Ning will be in danger. ”

"You're going to save her?"

Liang Yuanhe asked. Han Ying nodded, Liang Yuanhe pondered, and Tao Qingling hurriedly said:

"Hotaru, this is absolutely not going to work. Saving her is related to the entire Ciyang Palace, in case something happens, it will be the Nine Emperor Princes! ”

Han Ying listened to it, thought about it, and what she said was indeed right, so she immediately said:

"Your Highness, if you go and find a way, it won't affect you."

Tao Qingling was very angry:

"Hotaru, why are you so dead-eyed?"

"Han Ying, have you seen her getting close to people from other palaces?"

Liang Yuanhe ignored Tao Qingling's words and asked directly. Han Ying thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Xuanshu."

Liang Yuanhe greeted Ji Xuanshu.

"Your Highness."

"Mingyang Palace and Zhaoyang Palace, can there be people who are close to the courtyard?"

Ji Xuanshu said:

"Nope."

Ji Xuanshu thought about it again and said:

"However, when the prince led people to arrest the assassin that day, the guards beside the prince seemed to have saved a palace maid who was close to the courtyard."

Everyone listened carefully to Ji Xuanshu's words.

"Are you sure?"

Liang Yuanhe asked.

"Yes. Because we were in a relatively remote place at that time, no one paid attention, and when the minister blocked the hidden weapon, when he looked back, he saw it behind the crowd. It seems that no one notices them, they are all protecting the prince. ”

"Who's that guard?"

"It's the prince's guard, Jiao Zhan'er."

Liang Yuanhe thought about it and said to Han Ying:

"Hongu thought of a solution, but it didn't necessarily work."

Han Ying heard this and said happily:

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Liang Yuanhe sat down, bent down, put his arms on his knees, and said to her:

"You go to Mingyang Palace and find a way to meet Jiao Zhan'er, I believe you have a way."

Han Ying listened and was slightly embarrassed. Liang Yuanhe waved his hand lightly and said:

"Tell me about his relationship with the Chamberlain. Just by saving people, it is not certain that he is the one who is close to the hospital. Because Jiao Zhan'er is a person, it is easy to make a move in danger. If he doesn't know the people who are near the court, he doesn't ask for him, and he doesn't have to expand the matter and involve him more. If he is close to the house, try it and ask him if he can save the person you want to save. ”

When Han Ying heard this, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Liang Yuanhe, saying:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice."

Tao Qingling kept staring at Liang Yuanhe's slender fingers, and his heart was open.

"To put it bluntly, this matter depends on whether Jiao Zhan'er can help you. If it doesn't work, think of another way. ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey."

Han Ying ran out anxiously, Liang Yuanhe straightened up, Jiuyu poured tea for him, Tao Qingling said:

"Your Highness, do you need a slave to help you with the thrashing?"

Liang Yuanhe closed his eyes and said:

"Okay."

Tao Qingling was able to really contact the Nine Emperor Princes for the first time, and he was very excited. She came behind the Nine Emperor Princes, stretched out her hand, and pinched the Nine Emperors' shoulders with just the right amount of strength. The touch of the Nine Emperor Princes from the clothes, as well as the fragrance on the body, Tao Qingling was intoxicated.

Han Ying trotted all the way, and when she ran into the master of a family, she quickly slowed down and said hello. Finally arrived at Mingyang Palace, Han Ying didn't know how to call Jiao Zhan'er out. It was also a coincidence, just in time that Jiao Zhan'er came out for a walk with the kitten cub in his arms, wondering if he could meet Xia Ning. When Han Ying saw him, she hurriedly stopped:

"Lord Jiao! This way! ”

When Jiao Zhan'er heard the sound, he saw Han Ying waving his arms at her, as if there was something urgent, he walked over and said teasingly:

"Why don't you look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and only look for me?"

Jiao Zhan'er looked at Han Ying's eyes glowing and said this deliberately.

"Lord Jiao."

Han Ying pulled him aside, and Jiao Zhan'er quickly shook her off and said:

"Men and women can't kiss!"

Han Ying glanced at the well-behaved kitten cub in his arms, and then asked:

"Master Jiao, do you know anyone from the Courtyard?"

Jiao Zhan'er was stunned for a moment, looked Han Ying up and down, and said:

"What are you going to do?"

Han Ying was anxious:

"Lord Jiao, Han Ying encountered something, I don't know if Lord Jiao has a way."

"You say."

"The slave maid went to the courtyard today and found a palace maid locked up in the firewood room. The slave maid has met her a few times, so I want to ask Master Jiao if you can help me come up with an idea and save her. ”

Jiao Zhan'er listened to Han Ying's words, and was unconsciously startled, he grabbed Han Ying's sleeve and asked:

"Who is the prisoner?"

Han Ying took a deep breath nervously and said:

"Xia Ning."

Xia Ning!

Jiao Zhan'er's face changed suddenly! No wonder I haven't seen her for the past few days, it turns out that something happened!

Han Ying looked at Jiao Zhan'er's expression, thinking that he was very embarrassed, and remembered the words of the Nine Emperor Princes, so he said:

"My lord, if you are embarrassed, you don't have to come forward, and the slave and maid will find another way."

Bewilderment? Don't show up? How can it be? Needless to say, Fang Zhizhen must have done it! Why does she always have trouble with Xia Ning?

"I know, I'll figure it out."

"My lord, you just tell the slave and maid the way, and the slave and maid can do it, and don't affect you."

Jiao Zhan'er threw the kitten cub and threw it on the wall, and the kitten screamed twice aggrievedly, and then ran away.

"I'll figure it out, I don't need you."

Han Ying didn't expect Jiao Zhan'er to take care of everything, which was different from his expectations, and hurriedly said:

"Thank you, Lord Jiao."

Jiao Zhan'er was just about to leave, turned around and asked:

"Who told you to come to me?"

Han Ying was stunned for a moment, and Jiao Zhan understood:

"Oh, your master is clever."

Jiao Zhan'er turned to leave. He didn't know why the Nine Emperor Princes wanted Han Ying to come to him, but this ability to analyze things really shouldn't be underestimated. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Five Princes can't compare! Jiao Zhan'er thought so in his heart.
