123. Fear

Mu Wanqing also thought so, although Zhining said that she would not marry, but the feelings of her daughter's family were still eager to marry.

"Does the prince have a favorite candidate?" Mu Wanqing asked.

"This king will ask people to pay attention to it, and this matter is not in a hurry, our matter is urgent." Huo Chen touched her stomach again.

Mu Wanqing laughed twice, and only after getting Huo Chen's assurance did she feel relieved.

Two days later, Mu Wanqing and Zhining went to the hospital, where they treated the poor, and they were all free of medical fees and medicinal materials.

It was busy until noon, Mu Wanqing was free, Zhi Ning went back to the palace and brought some food, but Mu Wanqing didn't care about eating, and took Zhi Ning to the back of the medical hall, where the herbs and decoction were placed, Mu Wanqing pointed to the young man who was decocting the medicine, and said, "Zhi Ning, look at that person." ”

Zhi Ning looked over and saw that although the young man was not tall, he was better than his eyebrows, and he was not in a hurry in the face of several medicine pots.

"Miss, what are you doing?" Zhining was a little puzzled.

"His name is Ajin, he is an apprentice in this medical hall, and he is also in charge of decoction, he is innocent, and he has not yet married." Mu Wanqing patted Zhining's shoulder with a smile on her face, "The prince and I both think Ajin is good and want you to be a matchmaker." ”

When Zhi Ning heard this, the look on her face suddenly became a little flustered, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Miss, no, no, didn't Zhi Ning say that she would not marry?" ”

"Women always have to get married, and after you get married, you can also go back to the palace on an errand." Mu Wanqing felt that Zhi Ning's reaction was too big, and she was a little confused.

"Zhi Ning really doesn't want to marry, I really don't want to ......" Zhi Ning knelt down and shook her head incessantly.

Mu Wanqing was sad for a while, Zhi Ning had begged her like this, she hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" Why don't you want to get married? ”

Zhining just kept shaking her head and refused to answer.

"You get up first." Mu Wanqing helped Zhi Ning up, her eyes were staring at Zhi Ning, Zhi Ning would not lie, she showed everything on her face, looking at Zhi Ning's situation, she was sure that something happened to Zhi Ning, "Did something happen in the Criminal Department?" Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. ”

Hearing the words "Criminal Department", Zhi Ning screamed as if she was crazy, and hurriedly covered her ears: "Don't say it, don't say it!" ”

Mu Wanqing looked at Zhi Ning's out-of-control appearance, and was horrified, wanting to hold Zhi Ning and calm her down, but Zhi Ning's condition was indeed worse.

When Ah Jin heard the movement, he couldn't help but come over to take a look, and when he saw Mu Wanqing and Zhining pulling and pulling, he dropped the Kwai fan in his hand and wanted to separate the two.

But as soon as Ah Jin touched Zhi Ning's skin, Zhi Ning's reaction became more intense, and she shook off Ah Jin's hand: "Ahhh Don't touch me! Stay back!! ”

"Zhining!" Mu Wanqing watched Zhi Ning run out, and she was even more worried in her heart, why did Zhi Ning seem to have been greatly stimulated.

"Princess, are you alright?" Ah Jin looked at Mu Wanqing's hand, which was scratched by Zhining in many places.

Mu Wanqing shook her head, didn't care about speaking, and ran out to look for Zhining, but there were people coming and going on the street, but there was no Zhining.

She began to feel annoyed, why was she so abrupt, and where did Zhining go. She called someone to find Zhi Ning, and she waited in the hospital for an afternoon, but she still didn't see Zhi Ning's figure, Mu Wanqing was uneasy, and finally returned to the palace in the evening, but Zhi Ning did not return to the palace.

"Princess, don't worry too much." Gui Xin poured Mu Wanqing a cup of hot tea and tried to comfort her as much as possible, "Zhining should be back soon." ”

"Aunt Gui Xin, I always feel that something happened to Zhi Ning, otherwise she wouldn't have lost control." Mu Wanqing frowned and said, she looked at the scratches on the back of her hand, and Zhining's uncontrollable screaming appearance at that time really scared her.

"It may be that I have suffered too much in the Criminal Department, and the torture in the Criminal Department cannot be underestimated." Huo Chen speculated.

"What then?" Mu Wanqing had no idea in her heart, she blamed herself for not paying attention to Zhi Ning at the beginning, if she didn't treat it well, in ancient times, Zhi Ning would probably be crazy.

"It's okay, I've already sent a guard to find it, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has also sent someone there, if Zhining returns to the Prime Minister's Mansion, someone will come to inform you." Huo Chen looked at Mu Wanqing's worried appearance, and he couldn't be happy.

Mu Wanqing nodded, for today's plan, she can only wait.

Mu Wanqing slept very unsteadily this night, and after a night, he woke up several times.

Every time, Huo Chen stroked her back and hugged her tightly to let her fall asleep, she always thought about it in her heart, and it seemed that she could still hear Zhining's cry in her dreams, so that people could follow the sound to find her.

But Mu Wanqing couldn't find it, and when it was almost dawn, she woke up again.

"Worried?" Huo Chen closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around her waist, and asked in a low voice.

"I've never seen Zhining like this, I just said let her get married, and her reaction was so big."

"Maybe she's afraid she won't be able to serve you anymore."

"No, she doesn't seem to be worried about that." Mu Wanqing pondered, "By the way, when Ajin wanted to pull her away, her reaction was even greater, as if she was afraid of Ajin. ”

Saying this aroused Huo Chen's interest.

"Ajin is also good-looking, how can Zhining be afraid?" Huo Chen asked a little puzzled.

"I don't know." Mu Wanqing groaned for a while, and suddenly a terrible thought came to her, "Is there all men in the Criminal Department?" ”

"Of course, there are female prisoners, too." Huo Chen felt a little funny.

"No, except for the prisoner, are all men in that execution?"

"Of course, how can a woman be an official." Huo Chen explained, "Even if the execution of a female prisoner is carried out, the jailer himself will do it. ”

Mu Wanqing's head banged, Zhi Ning was so afraid of men, there was only one possibility.

"You ask this, but what's the clue?"

"There is a little, but it must be confirmed by Zhining." Mu Wanqing forced herself to calm down, hoping that her speculation was not true.

"Do you know what day it is?" Huo Chen asked with a hint of anticipation.

Mu Wanqing looked confused: "What day?" ”

"It's okay, you can sleep a little longer." Huo Chen was a little disappointed, so he got up and got out of bed to freshen up and prepare to go to court.

Mu Wanqing was lying on the bed, originally not sleepy, but still fell asleep.

By the time she woke up, it was already the third day of the day.

She had a splitting headache, which was a consequence of the poor sleep she had had last night.

Without Zhining, she is not used to being served by others, and she is not satisfied with the combed bun, but her mind is not on dressing, so she doesn't care much.

There is no news of Zhining, and Zhining seems to have disappeared. ~
