"Out of town? Just him? Nangong Jinheng asked.

The guard shook his head: "Back to Your Highness, there is a woman and a young man and a few guards." ”

"Woman?"

"Yes, it seems that it should be King Qin's inner family."

Nangong Jinheng lowered his eyes and pondered, yesterday his father was forced by Nangong Jinchen to pardon the sins of the two princes in the court, and he was still very puzzled why Nangong Jinchen helped them so much.

And later he learned that the Nine Emperors and Nangong Jinchen were actually raised by the same mother, and as for the relationship between the eldest prince and the princes since childhood, it was understandable that Nangong Jinchen helped them.

Now it seems that Nangong Jinchen should have rescued Nangong Jinze a long time ago, and Nangong Jinze was said to be a capable person in the court before, and had a certain amount of power, so he was jealous of his father, and I don't know how much of his power is still left now.

And I just heard him say that there is a young man, and he should be the son of the eldest prince, Nangong Ling Xu, who was the king of Wuyang for the first time.

It's just that why do the two of them have to take a woman with them when they go out of the city? From his investigation of Nangong Jinze, he has neither a concubine nor a favorite concubine, and when they go out of the city at this time, there must be something to do, isn't it a burden to bring a woman?

Thinking of this, Nangong Jinheng suddenly asked, "Are you sure that woman is a member of King Qin?" ”

Asked like this, the guard said with some uncertainty: "Back to Your Highness, this is what your subordinates have heard from His Royal Highness King Qin, but my subordinates can't be sure if what he said is true." ”

"Do you remember what that woman looked like?"

Without thinking about it, the guard replied: "Back to Your Highness, that woman is really beautiful, that appearance can be said to be unforgettable, and my subordinates have never seen such a beautiful woman." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jinheng was shocked in his heart, is it ......

"But there's a red lotus in the center of your eyebrows?"

The guard nodded, but he wondered in his heart, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?

It's really Yue'er.

Nangong Jinheng's eyes showed a trace of consternation, and after a little thought, he understood Nangong Jinchen's intentions.

He sent out the few people he valued at this time, and he should have known his next move, so he was probably ready to fight.

However, the commander of the Praetorian Guard who was loyal to him in the palace had been assassinated by himself, and now the Praetorian Guard of the palace is his father's person on the surface, but in fact he is his own person, and he is not in charge of the army, and there is no one else in the court except for a Zhenguo general, Yu Hua, and Yu Hua is still building city defenses on the Yunchu border, even if Nangong Jinchen wants to win him over, I am afraid it will be useless.

Thinking of this, Nangong Jinheng evoked a sneer, Nangong Jinchen, I want to see if you are alone, how can you escape this time?

Yue'er, soon, you will be able to become a lonely woman.

Seeing that Nangong Jin hadn't spoken for a long time, the guard couldn't help but raise his head and glance at him.

Nangong Jinheng came back to his senses, "Okay, Lone knows, you go down." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

After the guards left, Nangong Jinheng opened his mouth and ordered: "Liuyun, you take people out of the city immediately, and be sure to bring Princess Changning to the East Palace." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Liuyun took the order and left.

Nangong Jinheng leaned lazily on the back of the chair, only feeling comfortable. If Nangong Jinchen detained Mu Ranyue in the palace, he would really be difficult to start, but he actually sent Mu Ranyue out, and it couldn't be easier to do on the way.

Yue'er, I will never let you go again when I get you this time, last time, it was he who overestimated Nangong Yue Peng and underestimated Nangong Jinchen, which made him miss someone. He would never make the same mistake again this time.

In the evening, a man and a horse galloped like the wind on the street, attracting frequent sideways glances from everyone, but only to see a long shadow stretched by the setting sun.

In the dark night, he rode a horse and stopped in front of King Ling's Mansion, and then galloped towards Qingxiao Courtyard in a hurry, but was stopped by Yuan Jie on the way.

Yuan Jie looked at him covered in blood with a puzzled expression: "Lord Night, Your Highness didn't order you to escort the princess, what's wrong with you?" ”

Styx's whole face was full of anxiety, and he pulled him away with one hand, "I don't have time to explain to you now, get out of the way, I have something urgent to see Your Highness!" ”

"But His Highness is not in the mansion now."

Styx suddenly froze in place and muttered, "What did you say?" His Highness is not there? ”

Yuan Jie nodded: "Your Highness has entered the palace, and the one in the East Palace is also going to do it, so Your Highness is afraid that he has no intention of doing anything else these days." ”

After speaking, seeing the expression of the dark night that was about to be finished, he suddenly thought of something, "Don't tell me that the princess has an accident, my lord?" ”

Styx closed his eyes and nodded with difficulty.

Yuan Jie was so shocked that he took a few steps back, "How come?" Aren't there so many Secret Guards? How could she, princess? ”

Styx blamed himself, "I was too careless, so I took the enemy's plan." And His Royal Highness King Qin was also injured in order to protect the princess. This time, even if His Highness kills me, it will not be an exaggeration. ”

Yuan Jie was also a little at a loss, with the importance His Royal Highness attaches to the princess, he may really be unable to help but kill these people who are not well protected.

"I'll go into the palace now to find Your Highness."

The night immediately turned around and was about to run out.

But Yuan Jie grabbed him quickly, "My lord, stay here." ”

Styx looked back impatiently: "What are you pulling me for, this is a hundred thousand urgent things!" ”

Yuan Jie walked up to him and said, "According to his subordinates, it is not appropriate to inform His Highness about this matter for the time being. ”

Styx was shocked when she heard this, "What did you say?" ”

Yuan Jie asked rhetorically: "Is the princess just kidnapped?" ”

Styx nodded.

"The kidnapper is the crown prince?"

Styx nodded again, and said, "Although I can't be sure, it should be eight or nine." ”

Yuan Jie explained: "Now it is the time for the sword and crossbow to be drawn between the prince and His Royal Highness, and the most important thing for His Royal Highness now is to overthrow the prince and get the throne, and he sent the princess away in order to reduce his worries. ”

Styx thought for a while, and said disapprovingly: "What you said has some truth, but His Royal Highness loves the princess deeply, if the princess has any mistakes in the hands of the prince, you and I can't afford it." ”

Yuan Jie smiled indifferently: "As far as his subordinates know, the prince's affection for the princess is not shallow, and he will not treat the princess well." ”

"But ......" Styx still has concerns.

"Do you want Your Highness's plan to fall short?"

This sentence was speechless in the night, "Okay, it's just the princess...... We really don't save? ”

Yuan Jie said: "If the adults are worried about the princess, they can secretly send someone to rescue them." ”

Styx smiled bitterly: "It's not that you don't know what I'm in charge of, and there are few people with good martial arts under my hands." ”

Yuan Jie frowned, this is indeed a problem.

After a while, his eyes lit up: "Your Excellency, you can go to the Endless Palace to find Lord Qingye and ask him to send someone to rescue him." ”

Styx suddenly patted his head: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." ”

As for why it was Qingye instead of Liluo, it was because Liluo had been with Mu Ranyue for a while, and he was afraid that he would not approve of their approach and tell Nangong Jinchen about Mu Ranyue's arrest.

Styx immediately turned around and left the house.

Yuan Jie looked at his departing back and sighed, hoping that His Highness would never know about it.

"Manager Yuan, there is a person outside the door who wants to see His Highness."

The little guy's report interrupted Yuan Jie's thoughts, and he asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"He claims to be the owner of Murong Villa."

Yuan Jie was taken aback, why did he arrive so quickly, he hurriedly ordered: "You quickly enter the palace and inform His Highness." ”

At the gate of the palace, Murong He stood with his hands in his black clothes, Yuan Jie greeted him with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "I have seen the owner of Murong Zhuang, and I hope to forgive my sins if I miss it." ”

Murong He was displeased when he saw that it was just a subordinate who came out to greet him. Although he usually doesn't care about this, it's just that this thing is different.

He said coldly, "What about His Royal Highness King Ling? ”

Yuan Jie said with a smile: "The owner of the village forgives the sin, His Royal Highness has entered the palace to face the saint, but he has already ordered someone to enter the palace to report, please come in first." ”

Murong He followed Yuan Jie into the main hall of the palace and sat down, Yuan Jie diligently poured tea and water for him, and said: "Please wait a while, Your Highness should come back immediately." ”

Murong He snorted coldly, and then wondered, "Why don't you see your princess?" ”

"This ......" Yuan Jie was a little hesitant to tell him about the princess being sent to the Endless Palace.

Murong He was suspicious, "What? Is there anything you can't say? ”

Yuan Jie smiled dryly, "No, it's just that the palace has not been peaceful in recent days, and His Royal Highness sent the princess out of the palace this morning in order to protect the safety of the princess." ”

Murong He squinted slightly: "Isn't it peaceful?" ”

Yuan Jie was racking his brains to think about how to deal with him, but when he saw Nangong Jinchen coming back, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Nangong Jinchen waved his hand, and the people in the room retreated.

"His Royal Highness King Ling."

Murong He got up and arched his hand at him.

Nangong Jinchen hurriedly replied, "Uncle, please take a seat." ”

Murong He sat down quietly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I'm just a person in the rivers and lakes, but I can't afford to be the uncle of His Royal Highness." ”

Nangong Jinchen smiled faintly, "You are the uncle of dyeing, Chen should naturally call you uncle, not to mention that you said it yourself at the beginning?" ”

"Those words are to Ye Zichen, the left minister of the Chu State, not His Royal Highness King Ling of the Yun State." Murong He directly denied it.

Nangong Jinchen was stunned for a moment, smiled indifferently, and then sat down opposite him, picked up the teapot on the table and added a cup of tea for him, and added another for himself, Fang said: "Jinchen knows that he has done a lot of sorry things, and he doesn't dare to ask for your forgiveness." However, since you're here, I guess you'll be able to understand Chen. ”

Murong He said coldly: "I naturally know about His Highness's hardships, but it's just the truth that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, doesn't Your Highness understand?" ”

Nangong Jinchen's eyes suddenly darkened, and a sense of sadness also exuded from his body, and he smiled bitterly, "Yes, it is true that you can't have both." I thought that after I returned to China, I would be able to enjoy a few days of family fun with my mother, but who knew that my mother would die. ”
