330. 330 A cat huddled in a corner
Shen Cheng suddenly felt bad, this Mrs. Ye was too bold, she dared to suspect the prince, isn't this looking for death?
"Bold Ye, do you mean to suspect that Lin Ling'er's disappearance is related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"The courtiers don't dare."
Although she didn't dare, Mrs. Ye did mean this,
"It's impossible for Ling'er to escape under the noses of so many guards, besides, she has stayed well in the Ye Mansion, how could she want to escape? Presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that Ling'er lived in Ye Mansion, and it sounded good to worship her father-in-law, but in fact, it was just that the lord of the country had changed places to put her under house arrest, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited late at night, and Ling'er disappeared, maybe Ling'er's disappearance has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, but if this matter is asked by the lord, I am afraid that both Yefu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not escape the blame. So the top priority is to find the bell first. ”
Nangong looked at Mrs. Ye decisively, seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, and she could say it so confidently at such a time, it didn't seem that she was a simple woman.
knew that she wanted to pull herself into the water, but she was right about one thing, the top priority was to find Lin Ling'er first, whether it was for Nangong Qingfeng's accountability or for himself, this woman could not be lost.
"I never knew that Ye Shangshu had such a clever wife."
He sneered, and then paced around the pavilion, observing every inch of the place as he went, and then said,
"Ye Shangshu is the first architect of Daegu Kingdom, there shouldn't be no secret passages in this mansion, right?"
Mrs. Ye's heart tightened, as long as she knew Ye Shangshu's identity, she was afraid that everyone would think so, besides, ordinary people would have one or two secret passages or secret rooms or the like, not to mention the mansion of the first architect?
She always knelt, did not look up, her eyes were the easiest to expose people's scheming, and she would not expose her scheming to others.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this Ye Mansion was originally built by Ye Shangshu, and as for the secret passage, the courtiers really don't know."
Nangong Jue finally stood in front of her and looked at her condescendingly:
"Then it's better to recall Ye Shangshu immediately and let him find Ling'er's whereabouts, Mrs. Ye thinks it's good?"
"The courtiers don't dare to discuss it, but if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks it is appropriate, then it is appropriate. Ling'er is now pregnant, and the lord of the country attaches great importance to the child in her womb, in case of a mistake, the courtiers can't afford to eat. Now her whereabouts are unknown, in case she is taken captive by a thief somewhere, the courtiers can only apologize with death! ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Ye hid her face and sobbed.
Her words once again reminded Nangong Jue, whether it was Ye Mansion deliberately hiding Lin Ling'er or whether she escaped through the secret passage, once she left Ye Mansion, it would be very dangerous, just like Mrs. Ye said, if she was captured by thieves, it would be better to live than to die.
"Mrs. Ye, if you want to find Ling'er, you must first hand over the map of the secret passage."
Nangong is absolutely sure that Lin Ling'er escaped through the secret passage, if what Mrs. Ruoye said is true, then there is only this one possibility.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, that map has never been in the hands of my master, and the courtiers really don't have it."
Mrs. Ye was telling the truth, but what others didn't know was that she had already known the map by heart, and she also knew that there was an authentic entrance and exit in Lin Ling'er's room, but this was the secret between her and Ye Shangshu, and no one knew.
"No?"
Nangong Jue's thick eyebrows stood up, and he grabbed the white frost and grabbed her neck,
"Mrs. Ye, her life is in your hands!"
"Ah......h
Mrs. Ye screamed, seeing that Nangong Jue had a dead hand, Bai Shuang's face was already red because of poor breathing, and Nangong Jue's hand was still lifting her body hard, seeing that her heel was off the ground, if it continued like this, Bai Shuang would definitely die.
"No, don't...... His Royal Highness the Prince, please let us go, the courtiers really don't know where the map is, these things are the treasures of my lord, he never lets others touch them, the courtiers don't know, they really don't know......"
Mrs. Ye cried and shouted, seeing that her favorite maid's life was on the verge of death, she had lost the calm she had just now, but who knew what a strong heart was hidden under her current sad and helpless feelings.
She had made up her mind that no one would be able to find the map, and that they wouldn't be able to find it if she insisted she didn't know, and for a perfectly reasonable reason.
If Nangong kills people in a disorderly manner, I am afraid that he will not be able to explain it to the lord of the country, he has just been canonized as the prince and broke into Shangshu's Mansion at night, abducted Lin Ling'er, and killed innocent people, this crime is enough for him to drink a pot.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I beg you, the courtiers really don't know, if you are not happy, take my life, Ling'er's life and death are uncertain, her whereabouts are unknown, and the courtiers will no longer have the face to see my master......"
She knelt down and moved forward a few steps further, grabbing the corner of Nangong Jue's robe and begging with all her might.
Ling'er's life and death are uncertain, and her whereabouts are unknown, these eight words make Nangong Jue's heart hurt like a pinprick, if Lin Ling'er loses it, the lord of the country will definitely treat Ye Bu for the crime of poor care, but for him, it is not just as simple as losing a person, his heart will also be lost.
As soon as he let go, the white frost fell to the ground with a thud, and she fell weakly, clutching her neck, coughing desperately, and she could be regarded as picking up a life.
"White frost, white frost, are you alright......"
Mrs. Ye immediately crawled over and helped Baishuang up, let her lie in her arms, and helped her caress her chest.
"Shencheng, search for me."
Nangong Jue ordered coldly, and then turned around and left Beiyi Pavilion.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Shen Cheng got the order and immediately led people to Moyuanju, but unfortunately, such an important map, how could Ye Bu let others search for it, there was only one copy of the map, but later he copied another copy and gave it to Lin Ling'er, and the original one was placed at the entrance and exit of the secret passage in his own room, and it was too difficult and difficult to be found.
Nangong Jue stood in the courtyard of the Ye Mansion, looking at the simple but very exquisite buildings, gritted his teeth and said:
"Shencheng, demolish it for me!"
Shen Cheng was shocked, in order to find the entrance to the secret passage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to demolish the Ye Mansion? This is crazy!
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he had to persuade:
"Please think twice, Your Highness must not be in this matter, Your Highness has just been canonized, the lord of the country is not only the prince, you are a son, there are so many pairs of tigerish eyes staring at the crown prince behind your back, you must not be picked out by them to make mistakes and endanger your position! Besides, by the time you demolish the house and find the entrance to the secret passage, I'm afraid Miss Ling'er will have already fled. The only way to do this is to take someone to find it secretly, as soon as possible, so as not to be really targeted by thieves. ”
Nangong Jue didn't know that this matter was not feasible, but the authorities were obsessed, and she always had the ability to make him unbearable.
"If you can't find Ling'er, no one in Ye Mansion will want to leave alive!"
In the end, he poured all his anger on these innocent people, left a sentence and left.
The next day, this matter quickly reached the ears of Nangong Qingfeng, and now Ye Bu went to Sinan and Zhebei as an envoy, compared with Lin Ling'er's escape of a hostage, this is a big deal, so he ordered people not to look for it with great fanfare, and there is no need to cure Ye Mansion's sins for the time being, as long as they look for it secretly.
As for Nangong's invasion of Ye Mansion at night, he just taught him a lesson, asking him to pay more attention to the government and politics, and less to work on women, knowing that Nangong would be looking for Lin Ling'er in secret, he didn't ask.
The reason why he agreed to Ye Bu's construction at the beginning was just to add an extra chip for himself, as for how useful this chip is, it is still too early to make a conclusion, after all, the child in Lin Ling'er's belly is the descendant of King Tuoba, and it was born from the belly of a maid, the name is not right, the blood is not pure, and it is really difficult to say how much the Mu family of Wani can care about her.
A little girl who jumped around like a flea, he really didn't bother to think about it anymore.
On this day, Nangong Jue sent everyone in the mansion out to look for Lin Ling'er, he has always had a fear in his heart, Lin Ling'er's disguise technique is unique in the world, if she changes her appearance and escapes, I am afraid that he will never see her again in his life, every time he thinks of this, his heart hurts and panics.
He didn't dare to look for it with great fanfare, for fear of being exploited by thieves, so he could only send someone to secretly investigate, and at the end of the day, there was no news.
"Lin Ling'er, you hate me so much?"
Last night, Lin Ling'er must have fled only when she knew he was coming, and her body temperature was still on her bed.
Why, where is he not as good as Tuoba Jiuxiao? Why can't she fall in love with him? Is it just because she has his flesh and blood in her belly?
When night fell, he sat alone in the dormitory of the prince's mansion, there was no palm lamp, the faint light from the pane brightened his handsome face, when no one was around, the smile on his face disappeared, the faint smile seemed to be deliberately hung on his lips in order to hide his vulnerability, at this moment he was melancholy and lonely, like a cat curled up in the corner of the wall in the winter night.
At this moment, in the secret passage of Ye Mansion, Xiao Zhengzi walked in front with the map of the secret passage, Lin Ling'er followed behind, and the two walked with difficulty in the faint light of a candle.
The secret passage is no better than the outside, only five feet high can barely accommodate a person to stand, and those who are a little taller must bend forward, and after walking for a long time, they must lie down and stretch their waists, otherwise it will be very painful.
It just so happened that Lin Ling'er's height was just right, so she didn't have to bend over, while Xiao Zhengzi was a little miserable and had to bow her body forward like a shrimp.
"Xiao Zhengzi, are you okay?"
Lin Ling'er asked worriedly.
Xiao Zhengzi smiled and pretended to be relaxed and said:
"No problem, I'm used to serving people, have you ever seen a father-in-law who walks with his waist straight, not bowing all day?"
When he turned around, his waist was so sore that he straightened his nose.
Lin Ling'er's stomach growled, she didn't know how long she had been walking in the tunnel, she just wanted to go as far as possible, she was in a hurry when she came down last night, she didn't have any preparation at all, and now she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.
