Rong Chen squatted down, stretched out his hand to open the horse's mouth and looked at it, and carefully checked the horse's hooves and horse's hair, looking very focused.

He is a prince with a noble status, but he doesn't care about doing these things, and he doesn't care if his white and slender fingers are stained with blood.

Shen Nianzhen watched nervously, and after a long time, Rong Chen reached out and slowly took off a thin silver needle from the horse's left front hoof.

"What is this?" Shen Nianzhen's face was full of surprise when he saw this.

"Silver needle, there should be medicine on it, so that the horse can go crazy." Rong Chen stretched out his hand, took the handkerchief from Nanfeng's hand, wiped his hand slowly, and replied slowly: "It is true that someone deliberately did something to assassinate the eldest lady of the Zhu family. ”

"It's despicable!" Shen Nianzhen scolded fiercely when he heard this: "I will never let her go!" ”

"Do you know who it is?" Rong Chen looked at her curiously when he heard this.

"It must be Princess Zhaohua, don't think about it as a second person!" Shen Nianzhen bit her lip and said angrily: "Sister Zhu is about to marry my eldest brother!" She thinks that if she harms Sister Zhu, she can marry my eldest brother? Dream! My eldest brother will not marry such a ruthless woman when he dies! ”

"We'll talk about that later, but we'll keep the evidence for now." Rong Chen expressed his understanding, nodded when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "The top priority at the moment is to find Miss Zhu as soon as possible, and other things are not important." ”

Shen Nianzhen nodded when he heard this.

Turning his head and looking at the cliff worriedly, it was quiet under the cliff, there was no movement, and the mountains were full of lush forests, and there was nothing to see at all.

Everyone waited anxiously and patiently on the cliff.

An hour passed, and two hours passed.

Miss Zhu who fell down was nowhere to be found, and Shen Yunlan, who went down to look for her, was also nowhere to be seen, and the people sent by Rong Chen came back several times, but they found nothing.

Seeing the sun rising into the sky and gradually sinking in the west, Shen Nianzhen was still waiting anxiously, and the picturesque tea was brought in the middle, but she didn't eat a bite. Rong Chen made a decisive decision on the spot, and everyone went down the mountain to go home, leaving only the people from the various mansions and the palace guards to look for people around the mountain.

"No! If I don't see my eldest brother safe today, I will never go back! Shen Nianzhen immediately refused when he heard this.

"Have you ever thought about your grandmother?"

Rong Chen opened his mouth and persuaded: "Even if you can resist, you always have to consider the old man's body, right?" And Mrs. Liao, Mrs. Zhu, you can't spend the night on this cliff, right? Or go back to the house and wait for news, so that the palace has no worries and is more attentive to finding people. ”

Shen Nianzhen immediately hesitated when he heard this.

She was persuaded by Rong Chen.

But looking at the cliff, she was really unwilling to go back like this, and when she thought of Princess Zhaohua who caused all this, a raging fire burned in her heart.

She must avenge this revenge!

"Go back first, don't worry, your hatred is the hatred of this palace." Rong Chen looked at her and said slowly: "This palace will help you report." ”

"How can I help?" Shen Nianzhen bit his lip and looked at him half-jokingly, half-provocatively: "Can you take me directly into the palace and seek revenge on Zhaohua?" ”

"Why not?" Rong Chen didn't even frown when he heard this, but instead hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and his face was burning in the hot sun: "The world says that this palace is lawless and everything can be done, you can have such an idea, but it is also very compatible with this king, let's go!" ”

As he spoke, he took Shen Nianzhen's hand and went to the carriage to persuade Mrs. Zhu to go back to the house first.

Mrs. Zhu has been silently shedding tears since she fainted and woke up after being rescued, and when she heard Rong Chen say that he had sent the guards of the palace and dispatched the descendants of the three families, there were almost a hundred people to go down the cliff to find people, and her heart was slightly comforted.

At the same time, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Liao both came over and comforted her together.

However, Zhu Wanyan glared at Shen Nianzhen with tears in her eyes: "My sister is delicate and frail, and she has no chance of surviving when she falls down such a deep cliff!" What if you sent all the people down the cliff to search for it! Will she come back to life? ”

"Wanyan! Shut up! Old Mrs. Zhu was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly reached out to cover her granddaughter's mouth, turned around and looked at Rong Chen very apologetically: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, Wan Yan is open-mouthed and talking nonsense, please have a lot of them, don't worry about her!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Rong Chen waved his hand when he heard this, and said indifferently: "This palace knows that she is worried about Miss Zhu's comfort, so she is so excited, she will not worry about her little girl, a few old ladies, it is almost dark, and now it is not appropriate to return to the mountain temple, it is better to go down the mountain early!" Here the palace will personally send someone to keep an eye on it, and as soon as there is news, it will immediately send someone to inform you, how about it? ”

"Moreover, because the convoy of the three of us blocked the mountain road, many people who were going down the mountain today were blocked."

Until now, everything can only be left to fate.

Old Lady Shen and Old Lady Liao nodded when they heard this, and sighed silently.

Old Mrs. Zhu thought of her favorite eldest granddaughter, her wrinkled face showed a trace of deep grief, she sighed for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed: "Since the prince has spoken, the old body will naturally obey, Mama Zhao, tell me to go down and set off down the mountain." ”

"Old lady! What should I do with the eldest lady......

"The people who have their own two princes are looking for her, and the commander of Xiao Shen has also gone down the cliff to find her, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on herself." Old Mrs. Zhu said sadly.

From beginning to end, she restrained herself very much, and did not say a word of resentment against the Shen family.

The demeanor of the wife of the family can be seen.

Shen Nian really saw it, and the guilt in her heart was even deeper, and she was even thinking that if she hadn't insisted so much on promoting the marriage between Zhu Xiuyan and her eldest brother, would this kind and good girl not have an accident.

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhu, Shen Nianzhen helped her grandmother back to her carriage, and Mrs. Shen sighed for a long time: "What's going on, our family has just improved, and your eldest brother is about to get married, but something like this happened......"

"Grandmother, don't worry too much, the eldest brother and the elder sister of the Zhu family will be fine." Shen Nianzhen interrupted her, and said in a calm voice: "Let's go back to the house first!" My father must have been worried at home, too. ”

When Mrs. Shen thought of her grandson, she couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand, and asked expectantly, "Zhen'er, your eldest brother is he...... Is it really going to be okay? The cliff is bottomless! Steep and craggy! In case something happens to your eldest brother......"

"Grandmother, you don't have to worry about the skills of the eldest brother."

Shen Nianzhen took the trouble to persuade when he heard this: "If he can go down, he will naturally be able to come up, in contrast, the sister of the Zhu family is delicate, but she fell off the cliff like that, she is the ...... of life and death."

"I hope she's okay too, that girl is really nice." The worry on Mrs. Shen's face was even more worried when she heard this, and she took Shen Nianzhen's hand and kept talking.

Rong Chen silently rode his horse to accompany them, not disturbing them to speak.

The group went down the mountain in a sad mood, and there was no laughter and laughter before, and some were just a sad color.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Shen Nianzhen comforted the old lady to rest, and then changed his clothes and left the mansion non-stop.

"Let's go." When Rong Chen saw her, he didn't ask anything, and directly stretched out his hand to help Shen Nianzhen get into the carriage, and then instructed Nanfeng: "Let's go." ”

Shen Nianzhen didn't ask the destination, and since she got in the car, she was silent and silent.

Rong Chen wanted to tell a joke to amuse her, but he had no experience in this area, so he struggled for a long time, and said dryly: "Zhen'er, have you ever heard of my aunt's story......

"I've heard of some."

Shen Nianzhen replied lightly: "I heard that she is the first person in this dynasty to take a break from the horse, and she has lived alone for a long time. ”

"Not bad!" Rong Chen said with a smile when he heard this: "The rumors are true, my uncle Zhao Elu, is the son-in-law of the old court, ambitious, this dynasty stipulates that the princess's forehead is still good, and he cannot hold important positions in the court, but can only be promoted to some idle official positions. ”

"My aunt was angry, and when she was annoyed, she personally came forward and threw all those concubines out of the house to sell, but because of this, she was very annoyed with her uncle, and finally the two often quarreled, and my aunt gradually became like ashes, so she wrote a letter of resignation to her uncle directly, and then lived alone in the princess's mansion."

is so powerful, can a woman divorce a man?

Shen Nianzhen's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this, in her previous life, because she didn't hear anything outside the window, she just wanted to be Lu Yiming's concubine seriously, and she didn't know that there were so many possibilities in life.

"Hongu told you this, just to tell you." Rong Chen said slowly: "My aunt, as the eldest princess, had a reputation for being arrogant and jealous back then, and Zhaohua, her madness was only a lot more than that of my aunt back then. ”

When Gu Panxi heard this, his face sank suddenly.

She snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "What does Your Highness mean is to persuade me not to trouble Princess Zhaohua?" That's it? ”

"Hongu isn't trying to stop you." Rong Chen immediately shook his head when he heard this.

"You don't mean that, what do you mean!" Shen Nianzhen said a little angrily when he heard this: "Princess Zhaohua is not married to my eldest brother, who my eldest brother wants to marry is his freedom!" As a princess, can you do all the things that hurt nature and reason? ”

"This palace has no intention of excusing Zhaohua." Rong Chen was not in a hurry or annoyed when he heard this, and said slowly: "I just want to tell you that you can't use simple methods to deal with Princess Zhaohua, and you can't be too careless, this girl is stubborn, and she can't pull back eight horses if she recognizes the right things, you and your eldest brother, as well as the Shen family and the Zhu family, must be prepared for a long-term battle, this battle is not easy to fight." ”

Shen Nianzhen gradually calmed down when he heard this.

What Rong Chen said was right, she just said something like that because she was anxious and worried, it simply shouldn't be.

"I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now." She sincerely apologized.

Rong Chen smiled when he heard this, and looked at her with appreciation in his eyes: "Calm down?" Nian Zhen, you really have a lot of surprises for this palace. ”

Shen Nianzhen is a pampered eldest lady of a family in her bones, she has been in the back house all her life, and she has rarely seen anything in the world or insight, but this little woman has a momentum, a strength to dare to work hard for the people close to her.

Tonight, he sat in the carriage, waiting in front of the Shen family, in fact, there was no bottom in his heart, he was not sure if Shen Nian really dared to come, the night was as cold as water, and the warm moonlight shone on the road in front of the Shen family, and also shone into his heart, until the moment he saw Shen Nianzhen, Rong Chen found that his heart was booming, and he only felt that the woman who walked towards him at that moment was really beautiful.

More beautiful than any woman in the world.

"Your Highness has given me a lot of surprises." Shen Nianzhen bit his lip and looked at him when he heard this, and for the first time there was an undisguised expression of appreciation in his eyes: "Your Highness is on the cliff today, and you don't care about the dirty blood stains at all, squatting down to look for clues, and even if you stain your robe, you don't notice anything, such a Highness is also very surprising." ”

"Really? Are the two of us here complimenting each other today? Rong Chen immediately smiled when he heard this.

The smiling pair of wind eyes bent slightly, like two curved crescents, full of tenderness inside.

After a while, the guy started to discharge again. Shen Nianzhen turned his head uncomfortably when he heard this, and coughed lightly: "Your Highness, the palace is about to arrive." ”

In fact, there is no need for Shen Nianzhen to remind him, Rong Chen also knows that the palace has arrived, and Nanfeng has already driven back and forth around the palace three times, and he is very understanding and did not open his mouth to remind.

"Okay, let's get out of the car." Rong Chen nodded, commanded Nanfeng in makeup, and then got off the carriage first, turned around and helped Shen Nianzhen.

Under the moonlight, the girl's skin is as white as snow, her eyes are bright, and her beauty is like a picture. Rong Chen was slightly stunned for a moment, then took Shen Nianzhen's hand and walked towards the palace with his feet raised.

"The palace has already sent someone to inquire, today is Zhaohua's birthday, my father is celebrating her birthday tonight in the Kunning Palace where the queen lives, and it must be very lively tonight." Rong Chen said in a low voice as he walked: "Nian Zhen, we don't have any evidence of Zhaohua's crime in our hands, do you really want to just break in?" ”

"I'm going."

Shen Nianzhen replied without hesitation when he heard this.

After speaking, she lowered her head and glanced at her clenched right hand, which was a strand of cloth she found on the side of the carriage that Zhu Xiuyan was crooked on the edge of the cliff when she was on the cliff today.

The strip of cloth is a faint pink, named Yunjin, from the southern country to pay tribute, there are few pieces of cloth in total, almost only Princess Zhaohua and the queen have it, and other harem women are not qualified to have it.

"What does this piece of fabric prove?" Hearing this, Rong Chen said with some curiosity: "The queen can completely say that the tribute Yunjin was rewarded by her to the imperial court, and you have no way to convict Princess Zhaohua at all." ”

"The things that the queen gave to the ladies of each family are all registered, right?" Gu Panxi replied slowly when she heard this: "As long as you let the palace maid bring the case file, you will know at a glance that the matter was done by Princess Zhaohua, she may not be able to show her false colors, as long as she shows her flaws, I will take the opportunity to force her to tell the truth, with her own admission, it is difficult for the emperor to punish her crimes." ”

When Rong Chen heard this, he didn't know what to say, he felt that Shen Nianzhen's approach was a bit child's play.

For example, if you can't ask the truth about Zhaohua, what should you do?

When the time comes, embarrass the queen and the princess on the spot, it will be difficult for Shen Nianzhen to get out of this Kunning Palace.

"Your Highness, don't think about it, take it one step at a time." Shen Nianzhen said, walking quickly past Rong Chen, without a trace of hesitation or hesitation.

It's like the Longtan Tiger's Den in front of her, and she dares to break through.

This temper is very good for him!

Rong Chen's eyes once again showed a hint of appreciation, and he raised his heels.

Today's Kunning Palace is particularly lively.

Because it was Princess Zhaohua's birthday banquet, the palace began to prepare early in the morning, but it was a pity that the princess did not show up until almost noon, looking absent-minded, and even the queen asked several times, but did not get a response.

"What's wrong with you? I went to a royal temple and came back, but I didn't see your queen mother properly, did I? The queen said angrily: "You are such a big person, why don't you know how to save the palace worry!" ”

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Princess Zhaohua finally raised her head and glanced at the queen, her face showed a hint of emptiness, and she changed the topic and said, "When will my father come over today?" ”

"Your father will only show up when he wants a dinner." The queen said angrily: "You, put away your temper, and know how to bow low and be small in front of your father, otherwise his favor will be taken away by the slut in Lin Yang of Kunyu Palace!" ”

"It's not Lin Yang who took away her father's favor, it's her mother, Concubine Chen, right?" Princess Zhaohua glanced at the queen and said in a cool tone.

When the queen heard this, she suddenly lost her temper, and her teeth itched with hatred in her heart, Concubine Chen has been too arrogant recently! Do you really think that you can occupy the emperor by some means that cannot be put on the table? Hum!

"Mother, don't be angry." Princess Zhaohua hurriedly comforted her, and swore again: "When my father comes, I will say a lot of good things for you in front of him......"

"That's pretty much it." When the queen heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

The mother and daughter were talking and making careful preparations, and it didn't take long for it to get dark.

And then the emperor came.

When the palace people sang loudly and the emperor arrived, the queen couldn't help but smile on her face, and quickly stood up and pulled her daughter to meet her.

"Queen, is this ready to wait for me early? Ha ha. The emperor entered the door, glanced at the festive decoration in the main hall, and smiled on his face.

"Your Majesty......" The queen immediately stepped forward to salute, and just halfway through, she heard a report from the people in the palace outside: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the eldest lady of the Shen family are asking to see you outside!" ”
