Chapter 66: Is There a Spy in the Yard?
"We don't want to implicate the Prime Minister's Mansion in the palace, as long as you hand over Zheng Xiuning, my father and I will go back immediately, and today's events will definitely not be revealed to the outside world!"
The meaning of these words is obviously clear.
As long as the Prime Minister's Mansion hands over Zheng Xiuning to them to dispose of, the King of Liuwang and the Prime Minister's Mansion will still be the same as in the past, and the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion will no longer know about the witchcraft.
Of course, if Zheng Anyan disagrees......
The prince of Liuwang looked cold, if Zheng Anyan insisted on shielding Zheng Xiuning, he wouldn't mind stabbing this matter in front of the emperor, anyway, the emperor today is the most afraid of witchcraft, if the emperor knows, it will be light!
Zheng Anyan was about to speak, when a voice came from the door-
"Good!"
Zheng Anyan raised his eyes, and his face changed slightly: "Mother? β
The old lady walked in slowly on crutches with the support of her subordinates, she was nearly sixty years old, but the temperament on her body did not grow old with age, anyway, there was more of a trace of fierceness and majesty.
She glanced at Zheng Anyan coldly, and turned her head to look at the king and the prince of the king.
"King Liu, what you said is right, my son is honest and honest, and he is high-spirited, so naturally he will not shield a vicious woman who plays witchcraft!"
"Mother!"
Zheng Anyan said in a deep voice: "Xiuning ....... her"
"Enough!" The old lady shouted: "If you do something wrong, you will do something wrong, how long will you protect her?" It's because of your endless connivance over the years that she has caused such a big disaster! β
β......β
"If you dare to do such a thing, you have to bear the price of doing it!"
Jing Ning lowered his eyes.
The father was unwilling to hand over Zheng Xiuning because he was his father's daughter
He can teach his daughter a hard lesson, but he is also unwilling to hand over his daughter to the Liuwang Mansion, because he knows that if he really hands it over, Zheng Xiuning will definitely not end well!
But the father won't, just because the old lady won't.
"Come on, go and bring the second miss back from the temple for me!"
Although she loves this granddaughter, the old lady can make a clear choice, if it is an ordinary petty fight, it will be okay to fight this face to protect it, but it is a big thing like witch Gu!
Thinking of the bloody witch doll dug up from Zheng Xiuning's yard, the old lady's heart shuddered, and her love for Zheng Xiuning in the past faded a lot.
The subordinate immediately received the order to go.
The face of the prince finally eased: "In the past, Your Majesty once mentioned the old lady to the younger generation, and when the younger generation saw it today, he knew that the old lady was really and deeply righteous, no wonder His Majesty praised it many times!" β
As he spoke, he looked at King Liu, who was sitting in his seat.
Except for the previous words with Zheng Anyan, King Liuzai never spoke, just sat on the high seat, his fingers lightly tapped the edge of the table, and when he looked at his sight, he found that he was looking at Jing Ning, who was sitting quietly not far away.
Is my father interested in this Miss Zheng?
Zhao Lian, the son of King Liu, was a little surprised.
In fact, according to his temperament, today he should have rushed in with a large number of people to smash the Prime Minister's Mansion, rushed into Zheng Xiuning's courtyard, found evidence, and then reported to the emperor with the evidence, trying to make the Prime Minister's Mansion raid the family and exterminate the family.
But I don't know what is wrong with my sister and father's brains, one took his hand on the bed and asked him not to embarrass the Prime Minister's Mansion too much, as long as the Prime Minister's Mansion handed over Zheng Xiuning.
One was repeatedly warned on the way to him that he was not allowed to do impulsive things.
His sister was almost killed by someone using witchcraft, but he wanted him to be patient and calm as an elder brother, where did he come from?
"Liuwang, the old body has already asked people to bring Xiuning back, when the time comes, what to do with it depends on your decision to stay Wang."
As soon as the old lady's words landed, there was a voice from the next person outside-
"My lord, old lady, the second lady is back!"
The old lady was stunned.
Jing Ning's eyes narrowed.
In this silence, Zheng Anyan asked the question that everyone was curious about-
"Wasn't Xiuning sent to a temple nearly hundreds of miles outside the city? Why did you come back so soon? β
That's right, after Zheng Xiuning annoyed the county lord of Danyang, the Yang family was afraid that the other party would harm their baby daughter, so the place where Zheng Xiuning was sent was a temple far away from the capital.
But the subordinate who was sent to bring Zheng Xiuning back just left on the front foot, why did he bring the person back on the back foot?
The people in the hall glanced at each other, and finally it was the prince who stayed up first, "It's just right to come back, I still suspect that someone sent someone to let them go!" β
He said mockingly, and strode out.
Jing Ning retracted the contemplation in his eyes, turned his head to meet the inquiring gaze that Zheng Anyan had seen, covered all his emotions, and supported the old lady.
"Grandmother, let's go meet my sister, don't let the prince of the king do anything to his sister under impulse!"
The old lady nodded, and now she looked tired, as if she had aged a decade.
After all, it was her beloved granddaughter, who committed such a big sin and played witchcraft, and finally made her have to give up her granddaughter to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her heart was painful.
She was supported by Jing Ning, and her steps were hidden, but she still tried hard to go faster.
When I got outside, I saw a carriage parked in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The carriage was very luxurious, a low-key luxury, the yellow carriage was delicately embroidered, and it was a white horse pulling the carriage, and it was a first-class famous horse.
At this moment, the carriage was waiting at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as if waiting for someone to greet him.
Liu Wang Shizi sneered, and was about to kick over the carriage directly, so that the people inside would suffer hard, when he suddenly heard a delicate female voice from inside the carriage.
"Is this the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
This unfamiliar voice made the people who rushed over one after another stunned.
This voice is charming, but it is definitely not Zheng Xiuning's!
Even Zhao Lian, who didn't know Zheng Xiuning, also stopped moving, and a trace of doubt crossed his eyes, anyone with a noble status not only has an indescribable temperament on his body, but also can glimpse one or two in his voice.
In this sedan chair, it shouldn't be Zheng Xiuning!
In the silence, another voice soundedβ
"Yes, stepmother, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jing Ning narrowed his eyes, and his gaze suddenly turned cold - the voice that sounded after this was Zheng Xiuning's! But why did Zheng Xiuning come back before the old lady was afraid of people looking for her?
And in this carriage, who is the woman who spoke before?
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the man in the carriage to come out of the carriage and walk in front of everyone.
They weren't disappointed.
After a while, I saw a white and slender hand stretched out from the sedan chair, and as the curtain was lifted, a charming face appeared in front of everyone.
