"What's wrong?" Seeing that Shen Yichi's face was full of astonishment, Luo Yuling asked casually.

I saw Shen Yichi rushing on the horse without saying a word, leaving no explanation, and galloping away in front of everyone in a hurry.

Luo Yuling also panicked suddenly, and hurriedly looked at Shen Di: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you chase after it?" ”

Shen Dian reacted at this time and hurriedly chased after him.

On the other side, Zhong Ling opened his eyes groggily, only to see that he was in a small dark room with flickering candles, without a single window around, and he couldn't even tell whether it was day or night at this moment.

"Where am I?" Zhong Ling muttered weakly, her throat was hoarse and the pain was unbearable, and she was about to get up only to find that she was being restrained by a thick hemp rope, and she instantly came to her senses.

"Who is it?" Zhong Ling was furious, and as soon as he yelled, he heard an equally hoarse voice from behind him: "Niangniang, are you awake?" ”

Although she hadn't heard this voice a few times, Zhong Ling recognized it at once, and she suddenly became even more angry: "It's you? Why are you lying to me! ”

It turned out that the rain king was tied to the chair behind Zhong Ling, and the two were back to back at the moment, although they couldn't see Zhong Ling's face, they could imagine how angry she was.

"Niangniang is wronged, this king has never deceived Niangniang." The Rain King denied.

Zhong Lingcai didn't believe it, only to see her spit to the side with disdain on her face: "Bah, you didn't lie to me, if you don't lie to me, I will be tied up here?" Honestly, are you in the same group as Shen Tianyu! ”

"Niangniang is really wronged, how could this king collude with Xia Ling, if this king really colludes with Xia Ling, why do you have to go all the way to Yuyun to report to Niangniang?" The Rain King said this with an innocent look in his eyes, and it didn't look like he was lying.

Specifically, let's go back a few hours -

Shen Tianyu's carriage had just arrived at the Imperial City, and King Yu hurried to the palace under the pretext that Shen was not there, and Zhong Ling was the first to bear the brunt of the reception.

"I have seen the king, but I don't know that the king is coming, and I am not welcome." Don't look at Zhong Ling's informality on weekdays, when Shen Yichi was away, she was still the mother of the country.

The rain king also hurriedly said politely: "Niangniang is polite, this king is just to see the princess today, and he will take the princess back to the city in the near future." ”

"I see." Zhong Ling nodded, probably thinking in his heart: I can finally send this Bichi away.

"But before that, this king still has something to tell, I wonder if Niangniang can take a step to speak?" The rain king looked mysterious, Zhong Ling was suddenly full of suspicion, hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement, and the two immediately went to the middle palace.

When he arrived at the middle palace, Zhong Ling cleaned up the idle people and others, and then the rain king spoke, only to see him bent down in front of her with a look of regret in his intestines.

"Mother's forgiveness." A dignified king asks Zhong Ling for forgiveness? She was simply flattered: "What is the king doing, hurry up, I can't help it." ”

The rain king ignored it, and just continued: "This king has deceived Niangniang and His Majesty, please forgive Niangniang. ”

Zhong Ling was confused when he heard it

Water: "Lie to us? What has the king deceived us? ”

King Yu sighed at this time, and then said frankly: "Hui Niangniang, in fact, the real daughter of this king was kidnapped by King Xia Ling long after the courtship of your country, and now it is a spy sent by Xia Ling in the palace to assassinate His Majesty and Niangniang." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Ling suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder ......"

Seeing that Zhong Ling didn't seem surprised to hear the truth, King Rain was suddenly full of suspicions: "Niangniang has already guessed it?" ”

Zhong Ling nodded: "It's just that I noticed something unusual, it turned out to be someone sent by Xia Ling, so it makes sense." ”

However, Zhong Ling was curious: "In that case, why did the king come to the door to clarify with me?" Isn't this afraid that Xia Ling will embarrass the princess? ”

The Rain King was really ashamed, but he sighed deeply, and then continued:

"Niangniang smiled, this king was coerced by the villain, deceiving the two is really helpless, thanks to the princess's discernment and persuasion, this king suddenly woke up, and by the way repaid Niangniang for saving her life to the princess."

"A life-saving grace? When did I save the princess. Zhong Ling had no impression, probably because he had done too many similar things.

The Rain King didn't explain in detail, but tried his best to ask for Zhong Ling's forgiveness.

"And what is the king's plan? Now go with Hongu to debunk the true face of that impostor? Zhong Ling has always acted simply, but the Rain King looked forward and back: "But...... The princess is still in Xia Ling. ”

Zhong Ling's heart of loving his daughter was also able to understand, and then dispelled the idea of rampage.

"So I'm afraid the king's coming this time is not just as simple as telling the truth." The so-called Three Treasures Hall is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Zhong Lingcai does not believe that King Yu really came all the way to repay his kindness.

Sure enough, I saw that King Yu was brewing for a while before he spoke: "Niangniang is really smart, and this king does have something to ask for." ”

Zhong Ling was helpless, so he could only nod: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"I have heard for a long time that Niangniang's achievements are high and invincible, the princess is now in the hands of King Xia Ling, and I am a small state in the rain country, it is really difficult to compete with it, and I also ask Niangniang to help." The Rain King is sincere.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Zhong Ling would probably be able to guess his intentions, the so-called saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that this princess still sounds like a reasonable and upright person, with Zhong Ling's consistent style, she must have saved this person.

Zhong Ling nodded: "Okay, I promise you." ”

The Rain King was suddenly overjoyed: "Thank you, Niangniang!" ”

However, Zhong Ling was not unconditional, and she immediately continued: "This palace can promise to save the princess for you, but you also have to promise this palace one thing." ”

King Rain nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Niangniang, please say, as long as this king can do it, he will definitely do it." ”

Zhong Ling smiled with satisfaction, regained his serious expression in a blink of an eye, and then asked, "Let me ask you, where are you from?" ”

"Xia Ling." The Rain King said without thinking.

This made Zhong Ling feel surprised

"You came from Xia Ling, Shen Tianyu doesn't know?" ”

The Rain King explained: "Don't hide it from Niangniang, this king is here with King Xia Ling and the military advisor this time. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Ling's eyes couldn't help but widen: "What? They're coming, too? ”

The Rain King nodded: "Exactly, it arrived last night, and I have already stayed at the Fulai Inn in the city at this moment." ”

"Last night?" Zhong Ling seemed to have thought of something: Shen Tianyu had just arrived last night, and today Ah Chi left the palace because of the plague, which is too much of a coincidence.

Although it was a suspicion, it was just a guess after all, and Zhong Ling really couldn't find any basis.

Just as he was surprised, the entourage around King Yu suddenly came to report: "King Qiqi, something happened in the east of the city." ”

Hearing the word Chengdong, before King Rain could say anything, Zhong Ling's face was already full of horror: "What? What happened to the east of the city? ”

Only then did the attendant respond: "The plague in the east of the city is rampant, and most of the attendants brought by my country live there, and none of them are spared, I heard that even His Majesty Yuyun ......" The attendant cautiously raised his eyes to see Zhong Ling's reaction as he spoke, and did not dare to say any more.

Zhong Ling suddenly became anxious: "How is Your Majesty Yuyun?" Say! ”

"It is said that His Majesty was besieged by the plague-stricken people in the east of the city, and two hours ago he was also found to be infected...... Lives are short-lived. ”

The attendant gritted his teeth and finished speaking, and Zhong Ling was instantly dumbfounded like five thunderbolts.

"No, it's impossible, Ah Chi he won't, he won't leave me again." Zhong Ling tried his best to convince himself not to believe it, but the life and death of his previous life in his mind were completely out of control like a flood beast.

The rain king suddenly panicked, and finally found a backer, if Shen Yichi had any three strengths and two weaknesses at this juncture, wouldn't his baby daughter be able to save him again? That's not going to work.

Thinking about it this way, the Rain King asked the attendant again, "Is there any basis for this?" ”

The attendant nodded: "It's true, it was said by the brother who fled back." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Ling couldn't sit still anymore, and she immediately rushed out of the middle palace violently, and the rain king was stunned for a moment.

Along the way, he met Qiaoxi, Luluo and a group of palace maids and eunuchs, but no one knew Zhong Ling's intentions.

Luluo couldn't catch up with Zhong Ling's footsteps and called a few times, but she insisted on leaving and didn't look back, in desperation, Luluo had to come in and ask the rain king, only to learn the reason, and suddenly felt anxious.

"Lord Shen, Niangniang, Niangniang ran away." The green pothos found Shen Di in a hurry, and he listened with a confused face: "Ran away? Where did you go? ”

"Your Majesty is in distress in the east of the city, and Niangniang went out of the palace to find Your Majesty." The pothos didn't know why, so she could only convey the words of the rain king to Shen Dian as they were.

This can frighten Shen Dark, it is Shen Yichi in distress, and Zhong Ling is out of the palace, if any of these ones have the slightest mistake, he will be to blame even if he dies.

didn't have time to think too much, Shen Dian immediately rushed out, but when he rushed to the outside of the palace, Zhong Ling's figure had already disappeared.

And then there is this scene at this moment, Zhong Ling was tied up here as soon as she opened her eyes, she firmly believed that it was the Rain King who united with Shen Tianyu to deceive herself, but now the Rain King was tied to her, so it seemed that she was impulsive.

"Looks like he brought us here." Zhong Ling probably had the answer in his heart, and his attitude towards the Rain King was no longer as vicious.

As he was chattering, he saw the door open, and a bright light came in from the outside, stabbing Zhong Ling a little unable to open his eyes for a while.

A familiar figure came in with light, and it wasn't until the door was closed that Zhong Ling saw the appearance of the person who came, and suddenly frowned: "Sure enough, it's you." ”

What could make Zhong Ling so angry was naturally Shen Tianyu himself.
