When Chu Ning appeared in front of King Qi in a swaying manner, hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at her. Everyone wants to see which madman dares to choose the "shortcut" that is clearly a "shortcut" for people to die. Of course, the swaying posture was only Chu Ning's own imagination, her clothes had been torn to pieces by the big snake, and her face was also covered with mud, mixed with a few scars.
When she and Ji Chongguang escaped from the prince's guards, they deliberately changed back into bloody old clothes in order to achieve a realistic effect.
But when her pair of crystal bright eyes winked at the prince for no reason, Jiang Chengqi, who had thought that she had no last resort a moment ago, suddenly had a bad feeling about a big thing.
On the main seat, King Qi leaned forward slightly because he was in too eager mood, and couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the snake egg you fetched?" Where is it? β
On both sides of King Qi, there are four examiners this year, Meng Liangyan is what everyone expects, and the one who represents the Su family is Su Huiran, who is the old woman who has not yet married, and the remaining two, Chu Ning does not know.
Chu Ning Yingying saluted, and replied softly to King Qi: "Your Majesty, the snake egg has been taken, but as soon as the egg leaves the sea, the luster on the eggshell seems to be much weaker, and I don't know if it will damage it if I move it easily, so I left it on the east coast." β
The crowd of onlookers showed unbelievable expressions, they had never heard of snake eggs going bad when they left the sea, which was really a strange thing in the world.
However, the king of Qi did not think so, he often felt powerless when summoning the people of the palace recently, so he became more and more panicked, according to those witch doctors, this is a sign of declining energy. When the day comes, he will run out of oil and run out of lights.
Mrs. Xiaowei happened to be there, and blew the wind in her ears at the right time: "Your Majesty, I think this little girl from the Suyin family is doing things very safely, whether there is such a thing or not, it is the most appropriate to leave the egg there first and not move, but it is much better than those who are careless and anxious to fight for merit in front of the king." β
"That's right," King Qi's face flushed a little with excitement, and he raised his hand and pointed to the leftist of the four examiners, "Just ask Mr. Wu to come with you and get the egg back." β
The person who was targeted by King Qi was extremely tall, and his strong muscles could be seen through several layers of clothes. Chu Ning estimated that this was the rumored old man of King Qi, who was specially invited to be the examiner of Lingque Terrace, but he didn't know what his attitude was towards him, so he didn't dare to take the risk at this juncture, so he didn't want to speak and stopped, but raised his eyes and looked at King Qi a few times.
This time, it really aroused suspicion in King Qi's heart. When the world is known as a family, there are dozens of them, and they can barely compile a family tree for several generations, even if it is a family, but there are only four truly undisputed famous families, Suyin, Yusha, witch doctor, and Ming Kitchen.
It is normal for the families to look at each other unpleasantly, and the King of Qi specially invited someone from the witch doctor family to be the examiner, hoping to take advantage of this contradiction between the families, so as not to make the selection of the Lingque Terrace completely reduced to a step for the children of the Eastern Qi family to enter. But when it came time to deal with the egg, which was close to him, he was not so relieved, and it would not be good if the witch doctor tried to stumble on the little girl and smash the egg he wanted.
King Qi waved his hand: "The widow will go with you in person to see the egg of this two-headed python." β
As soon as he said this, the prince panicked first, the people he laid were still there, and he didn't have time to deliver the news for a while, if he let the already suspicious King Qi see it, he would lift a stone and hit his own foot, and it was very accurate.
"Father," the prince stepped forward and knelt down, "I heard that the big snake is very ferocious, and the secret passage leading from Lingque Terrace to the East China Sea is dark and damp, you are a precious woman, in case there is any damage, I'm afraid it will not be good." If you don't worry about others, why don't I take someone and bring the snake eggs to you. β
Chu Ning only picked up a sentence at this time: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you didn't hear clearly, I have just said, the snake egg is left on the east coast, the king is now in the past, there is no need to take the secret road, you can take the chariot directly from the bottom of the mountain, and go along the main road." β
"Your Majesty," Chu Ning bowed down to King Qi again, "Since Mrs. Xiaowei praised me, then I don't dare to be greedy for merit, I didn't take this snake egg alone, there is another candidate who came with me, he asked me to report first, that one is still guarding the snake egg by the East China Sea." It's just that he's a little injured, and I don't know if I can see it......"
One sentence offset the prince's chatter, if the person who took care of the snake eggs was seriously injured and died, or the big snake suddenly came back to his senses and wanted to snatch the snake eggs back, it would be in vain. The king of Qi ignored this son who would only block him, and got up and ordered his guards to prepare light carriages and horses.
But the prince still didn't give up, and stepped forward on his knees, blocking in front of King Qi: "Father, there is one more thing to report to you, Forget Huan originally followed me to see the excitement, but I don't know what's going on, I can't find him anywhere this morning, I want to dare to ask my father for a will, let me bring some people and horses to search carefully near Lingque Terrace......"
The prince couldn't think of any contingency for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and pour out the opening remarks that had been prepared. But this is really inappropriate, not to mention that the king of Qi only remembered whose son it was recently, that is, the prince himself disappeared, and the king of Qi will only think about going to get the egg first.
The people of the Xue family were not present, Xue Niannian was standing in the pile of people who had passed the selection, and it was not suitable for him to come out to speak on this occasion, in a hurry, the crown princess Xue Yiyi stepped forward, pulled the prince's sleeve, and knelt beside him: "Father forgives the sin, the prince is really worried about the safety of his younger brother, and if he cares, he will be chaotic." I asked my father to go to the East China Sea with peace of mind, and the two of us stayed here and tried to find Forget Huan. β
The prince was about to speak, but his hand was held down by Xue Yiyi. The prince was already a man who had no idea, and he had always known that this wife was calmer and wittier than himself, so he had to endure it. When the King of Qi walked away with a large number of people, Xue Yiyi said: "Hurry up and choose a safe person, send a letter to my brother, and let him get the person you arranged." β
When King Qi arrived at the East Coast, the last thing he wanted to see was in front of his eyes. The east coast was deserted, and the snake eggs were nowhere to be found, and there were blood stains everywhere as far as the eye could see on the coast, as if someone had just fought fiercely here.
Chu Ning glanced at it and lowered his head, I don't know if Ji Chongguang used chicken blood or dog blood, how many chickens have become unjust souls under the knife, so he cooperated with them to act in this play.
It is conceivable that King Qi was on the verge of anger, and asked Chu Ning in a calm voice: "What about the eggs you said?" β
"Your Majesty," Chu Ning replied with his head down, "I really left the egg here, just to deliver a letter, and I can't think of where the egg can go, and the one who took the snake egg with me doesn't know where it went." β
"As soon as the upper lip touched the lower lip, it was really light," Xue Niannian, who came with the crowd, snorted, "Those of us who have passed the assessment one by one are fools, so we should find a place where no one is seen for a few days, and then come out and say a few beautiful words, the egg was obtained, but it was lost again, and there is no proof of death in both horizontal and vertical ways." β
Xue Niannian was tossed by Chu Ning several times and made a fool of himself in public, and he couldn't wait to seize every opportunity to take revenge and come back. Chu Ning rarely didn't speak, still just lowered his head.
Gu Caiwei, who was good friends with the Xue family, also responded casually: "That's it, I knew it when I played all the lots, Miss Chu Ning has always been the smartest, I heard that the spiritual weapon you registered when you signed up is also an unheard of wonder, four things are embedded in a cake, you can think of it." It's just that your brain is being used in the wrong place, just playing tricks with us insignificant people, and now in front of the Internet, you dare? β
She turned her head and looked at Su Jinyao provocatively: "I don't know what the eldest lady of the Su family said, are you protecting your sister, or are you protecting the rules?" β
In the past, Chu Ning was teased and bullied by them, Su Jinyao has always stayed out of the matter, but now she was asked by name, so she had to answer without being salty: "Daddy has always taught me with the word justice, even if Sister Chu Ning is not surnamed Su, at least she grew up in Su family, and today my aunt is also one of the examiners, so naturally there is no reason to favoritism." β
One person's words successfully rubbed the fire in King Qi's heart, and his face was as gloomy as the sky when it was about to rain.
Chu Ning always lowered his head, and waited until he became the sinner pointed out by Qianfu before he slowly spoke: "Since everyone said that there is no proof of this matter, then I will dare to beg the king to search around here, I believe that I can always find some clues." β
When she raised her head, her gaze was on Madam Xiaowei, who was standing behind King Qi. Mrs. Xiaowei forcefully gave her a "don't die" expression, and her eyes were so distorted that they were about to squeeze together. Chu A Ning smiled faintly at her and motioned for her to wait and watch the show.
Mrs. Xiaowei didn't know anything about what Chu Ning was going to do, but she didn't see the situation well at this time, and she no longer pleaded for Chu Ning. Mingzhe protects himself, which is the most important way to survive in the harem, and Chu Ning also thinks it is understandable. Chu Ning slowly turned to Xue Niannian and glanced at her with a smile, Xue Niannian was anxious to vent her anger to the prince's brother-in-law, but she must not have imagined that her eagerness was pushing the prince to a situation from which she could never recover.
The people sent out by the King of Qi soon brought back the news that there was no one near the coast of the East China Sea, and the people in several fishing villages were gone.
Chu Ning bowed to King Qi: "Your Majesty, what others say, they all have their own selfish intentions. But I only have one thing I want to say to the king now, if I deliberately lied and lied that I got the snake egg, and that companion is gone, then that's it, and others can still say that he colluded with me. There are several people in the fishing villages around here, where did I get the great ability, let them all disappear out of thin air. β
She bowed her head heavily: "I beg the king to investigate thoroughly, there must be something strange about this matter." β
