"I came here today because I was afraid that my cousin and grandfather Ning would be in chaos because of the prince's concern and entered the emperor's situation, if so, I am afraid that my cousin and grandfather will be implicated first before the prince is rescued. Now the emperor's thoughts on dealing with the Ning family are clearly revealed, at this time, no matter what the Ning family does at this time, they will be stared at, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be a catastrophe. ”

Hua Zhen's face was very solemn as she spoke.

Seeing this, Old Lady Ning had to sigh: "Then according to your meaning, what should I do now." ”

Listening to Old Lady Ning's words, Hua Zhen knew in her heart that he had listened to her words.

immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "The prince is my cousin, whether it is for the prince or for the aunt, we can't sit idly by." Right now, the emperor is staring at the Ning family, and his cousin and grandfather can't interfere, but it doesn't mean that there is nothing to be done about this matter. ”

When Wei Guogong heard this, his brows were furrowed: "Zhen'er, this is not a trivial matter. If it's just Zhang Ying's matter, it's fine, but if the prince's raising of troops is implicated, this is a crime of killing the head, and no one will be able to protect the prince when the time comes. ”

said as if he was afraid that Hua Zhen would not believe it, and continued: "Especially at the moment, it is King Qi who is investigating this matter thoroughly, King Qi is ambitious, and he has long wanted to seize the position of the crown prince. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded: "I understand this matter, and please rest assured that my cousin." I will definitely keep the prince safe, and if I fail to save the prince by then, it will not be too late for my cousin to intervene. After all, this prince is the prince of Dayan, even if he really finds out about raising soldiers, the emperor can't say that he will be killed, and he will always have to go through the trial of the three divisions before the case can be decided. ”

Old lady Ning nodded when she heard this: "What Zhen'er said is right, no matter whether Zhen'er can save the prince or not, we must not meddle in this matter." ”

When Wei Guogong heard this, he couldn't help but look at Old Lady Ning: "Dad, that's my cousin's only heir..."

"Then you can't gamble with the lives of the Ning family!" said Old Lady Ning, with a hint of fierceness in her eyes.

He loved Shen Lianxing, but even if it hurt, he didn't forget his identity.

He is the head of the Ning family and the old prince of the Wei Mansion.

Even if he felt sorry for the prince in his heart, he couldn't let the Ning family be buried with him for the sake of the prince.

Old Madam Ning understood Old Madam Ning's thoughts, and immediately looked at her son.

"Your father has your father's reasoning, and we will listen to Zhen'er first about this matter. At present, Zhang Mang's matter has not been resolved, and the Ning family should be Taoguang and obscure, and it is true that they should not be involved in this matter. These days, you have ordered to go down, and everyone in the house should pay attention to it, so as not to ask others to find an opportunity to come to us for trouble. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Ning said this, Wei Guogong had no choice but to respond: "Yes." ”

Hua Zhen then spoke: "Don't worry about your cousin, since Zhen'er said that she will definitely help the prince, she will definitely exonerate him, but it will take some time, and I hope that if my cousin hears anything these days, don't care." Don't mess up because of these things. ”

Hearing this, Wei Guogong nodded: "Zhen'er, you still can't believe your cousin." ”

Hua Zhen didn't speak, thinking about the news she heard in her previous life, she was really a little worried about Wei Guogong.

In her previous life, she had inadvertently learned that before Empress Renxiao entered the palace, Wei Guogong liked Empress Renxiao, and even thought about letting Mrs. Ning marry this cousin for herself in the future.

At that time, Mrs. Ning also had this idea, she wanted Shen Lianxing to marry Wei Guogong, but she didn't expect Shen Lianxing to accidentally meet Emperor Yan Wen, who was still the prince.

From then on, a heart stayed on him, and Old Lady Ning didn't want Shen Lianxing to be sad, and the Shen family intended to cling to the prince, so he let Wei Guogong hide his thoughts.

Watching his beloved woman marry someone else.

It is precisely because of this that Wei Guogong treats the prince more dearly than his two sons, perhaps because he loves the house and Wu.

That's why Hua Zhen knew the overall situation of the abbot of Old Lady Ning, and she would not be at ease, and wanted to come over to tell her in person.

Wei Guogong didn't know Hua Zhen's thoughts, he just looked out of the door, with a complicated look in his eyes, maybe because of the prince's matter, he remembered Empress Renxiao.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen changed the topic and gossiped with Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning for a while.

Only then did I follow the road I had just come and returned to the tunnel dark room.

Huang Tianba was still waiting in the dark room, and when he saw Hua Zhen coming, he immediately stepped forward respectfully: "Young master." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded: "Go back." ”

Huang Tianba led the way at this time, and took Hua Zhen all the way back to the Zhenwei Dart Bureau along the dark road.

After Huang Tianba covered the secret passage and extinguished the torch, Hua Zhen looked at him and said, "The money shopkeeper should have told you, tomorrow you will take the old Tiance department that originally followed my father to Wei Yan." ”

Huang Tianba nodded when he heard this: "Young master, don't worry, I'm ready, Wei Yan and I have a fateful friendship, plus the queen's kindness, he will not be treacherous." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded: "You should be careful along the way, no matter what happens, don't interfere." My uncles are now wanted by the DPRK and China, and if anything goes wrong before they get to Wei Yan's camp, this plan will fail, you know. ”

"The subordinates understand, the young master can rest assured, the subordinates will definitely handle this matter. ”

Looking at the firmness in Huang Tianba's eyes, Hua Zhen nodded.

Then followed Huang Tianba to the front yard, and asked Huang Tianba to find two sets of palace maids' clothes and change them with Jiang Fu.

Put on an ordinary dress on the outside and leave the Zhenwei dart game.

Jiang Fu followed Hua Zhen all the way to Yongding Gate.

Seeing that the eunuch Gong E came in and out of Yongding Gate from time to time, Hua Zhen immediately turned around and instructed Jiang Fu to take off her clothes outside, find an alley to hide, and then walk towards the palace gate with her head down.

The guards guarding the door saw the two palace maids, and couldn't help but step forward to stop: "Which palace are you from?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen took out a waist card, and then said respectfully: "We are on an errand in the Zhaoyang Hall of the East Palace, and we are instructed by Mama Fu to go out of the palace to do some things." ”

Hearing this, the guards looked at the waist cards in Hua Zhen's hands, didn't think much about it, checked the things they were carrying, and waved their hands: "Go in." ”

Hua Zhen hurriedly took Jiang Fu into Yongding Gate.

After waiting for the Yongding Gate and looking at the back, Hua Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, the waist card in her hand was from the Queen Mother's Palace, not the Prince's East Palace.

When Mama Cao died, she had a waist card from the Queen Mother's Palace, which fell on her.

I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, and no one pays attention to this waist card.

Now Hua Zhen wants to see the prince, so she can only use this waist card to enter the palace, although it is a bit risky, but she has to do it.

Yongding Gate is the closest door to the Prince's East Palace, and the eunuchs of the Prince's East Palace all enter and exit through this gate.

Hua Zhen had lived in the palace at the beginning, and she was still familiar with the terrain in the palace.

With the bright moon, he walked to the prince's bedroom.

If the crown prince is now under house arrest in the palace, it should be in the Huayang Palace, the dormitory.

Hua Zhen pretended to be a palace maid who was waiting, but it didn't take much effort to enter Huayang Palace.

Although the emperor put the prince under house arrest, he only asked him to reflect in the Huayang Palace, and did not really let people do it.

Therefore, pretending to be a palace maid, you can still blend into the Huayang Palace.

Leaving Jiang Fu outside to control the wind, Hua Zhen lowered her head and entered the Huayang Palace.

The prince was sitting in front of the bookcase in a depressed mood, and when he saw a palace maid coming in, he was immediately furious: "Who let you in!"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen raised her head and looked at the prince: "Cousin the prince, it's me." ”

Seeing that it was Hua Zhen, the prince was stunned for a moment, then stood up, hurriedly bypassed the bookcase, looked at Hua Zhen and suddenly exclaimed, "Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked outside the door, and the prince immediately walked over quickly, closed the door, and then pulled Hua Zhen to the inner room.

"Why are you dressed like this and sneaking in, if you are found by your father, I am afraid that you will be punished!"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen quietly broke free from the prince's hands, and then looked at the prince: "I just went to the Wei State Mansion. ”

"How is it, have you seen Wei Guogong and Ning Laoguogong?"

Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this: "When the Ning family returned to Beijing, King Qi bribed Zhang Mang in order to deal with the Ning family, and framed the Ning family for being disobedient. The emperor was furious and ordered people to escort the Ning family back to Beijing outside the capital, and now they are imprisoned in the Wei Mansion and sent heavy troops to guard them. ”

"What!" The prince was imprisoned in the East Palace, and he didn't know what was going on outside, and naturally he didn't know what happened to Zhang Mang.

"I came today to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that because of Zhang Mang's matter, the Ning family is now unable to protect itself, so there is no way to help the prince. also asked the prince to send someone to contact the Ning family during this time for the sake of the Ning family and for himself. Hua Zhen said with three warnings in her eyes.

fell in the eyes of the prince, and couldn't help but make him feel a little hateful, but no one knew whether it was Zhao Ting, Hua Zhen, or the Ning family who couldn't help him.

"If you don't say it, I understand. The prince said and looked to the side, as if he didn't want to say anything more to Hua Zhen.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen had the last trace of the crown prince in her heart, because the friendship of Empress Renxiao also dissipated.

Removing the coldness in his eyes, thinking about the Ning family, he said softly: "I'm afraid that the Ning family won't be able to help the prince this time, so the prince can only save himself." ”

"Help yourself, how do you let me save myself, my father asked Zhao Ting to investigate this case thoroughly, he has always wanted my life, and he dreamed that I would die, so as to make room for him, how can you let me save myself." Xu was because the last expectation in his heart collapsed, and the prince couldn't help it, and his emotions were a little out of control.

In front of Hua Zhen, there was resentment in her tone.

Seeing the prince like this, Hua Zhen's eyes sank slightly: "It's really because King Qi is in charge of this matter this time, the prince has a better chance to save himself, and the prince should seize the opportunity." ”

Hearing this, Prince Yan looked at Hua Zhen, and a sneer appeared in his eyes: "What you said is easy, do you know what is behind me, you don't know anything, let me save myself, how can I save myself If Zhao Ting finds out, I will definitely die." ”

"Is the prince worried that the matter of raising troops in Luzhou will be discovered by King Qi?" Hua Zhen saw this, her face was calm, and she just looked at the prince and said softly.

One sentence made the prince's face change: "How do you know?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen said softly: "I felt strange when I knew that the prince wanted to protect Zhang Ying. ”

Hua Zhen didn't say how she knew, but just said it sideways.

I saw that the look in the prince's eyes was very complicated, and he changed several times, including doubts, fear, and murderous intent.

* Naked, unabashed.

Hua Zhen looked: "If the prince is worried about this matter, then please don't worry about the prince." ”

"What, is it possible that you have a way, and you can't suppress this matter!" The prince saw that Hua Zhen knew that he was raising soldiers privately, and he could still be so calm, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to it.

I hope she really has a way.

Seeing through the prince's thoughts, Hua Zhen met his gaze: "As long as the prince refuses to admit it, no matter who says it, the prince will not admit it, and he must be determined, Zhang Ying's matter, you don't know anything, I have my own way to help you get rid of your guilt." ”

"Really!" the prince's eyes were full of joy when he heard this, and he immediately grabbed Hua Zhen's shoulder.

Hua Zhen gently broke free of the prince's hands: "Naturally, otherwise I wouldn't have taken such a risk to enter the palace." It's just that after this incident, the prince was asked to be cautious, and it has been a year since his aunt died, and although the emperor has not reused His Royal Highness the Prince, he has no intention of abolishing His Royal Highness the Prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so obscure and does not let people seize any handles, just wait for the emperor to be a hundred years later, the world will naturally belong to His Royal Highness the Prince. I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be contaminated in the future, if something else happens, I am afraid that even the Ning family will not be able to help the prince get out. ”

Hua Zhen said and blessed.

Lowering her head, she didn't look, but she also knew what kind of eyes the prince was looking at her at the moment.

When he spoke like this, he was afraid that it completely left an imprint in his heart and made him murderous.

Thinking that if it wasn't for the Ning family, she really didn't want to meddle in this matter, so Hua Zhen had to calm down.

It took a long time for the prince to help Hua Zhen up, and the emotion in his eyes had already changed to a grateful look: "Thank you, Zhen'er, don't worry, I will never do anything to disappoint Old Duke Ning in the future." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at the prince and knew that he should understand what he should do, so he immediately blessed himself: "That is the case, Zhen'er should also retire, if someone finds out, I am afraid that it will cause trouble for the prince." I also ask the prince to remember that even if Zhang Guang and Zhang Ying testify against you in person, you must deny it, saying that you don't know anything about it, and the more innocent you pretend to be, the more sure I will be. ”

Hearing this, Prince Yan nodded.

He turned around and knocked over a set of tea sets on the bookcase to the ground, and said angrily, "Someone!"

Jiang Fu, who was guarding outside, hurriedly followed the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting.

I saw Hua Zhen kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, as if she was frightened: "Throw this palace maid out of the palace for me, I can't even do this little thing of serving people, and there is no need to stay in the palace!"

After speaking, a eunuch suddenly came up, pulled Hua Zhen and walked out.

Father-in-law Xi, who followed the prince's side, saw that the palace maid kneeling on the ground was Hua Zhen, and immediately understood in his heart.

took Hua Zhen and Jiang Fu and walked towards Yong'an Gate while scolding.

Others didn't dare to say anything when they saw it, and when they arrived at Yong'an Gate, Father-in-law Xi quietly made a compensatory and asked people to throw Hua Zhen and Jiang Fu out.

Because of the struggle, Hua Zhen's hair bun was deliberately scattered, her hair covered her face, and the guards guarding outside didn't look closely.

Seeing that it was the palace maid who was kicked out of the palace, he just glanced at it and didn't care anymore.

Hua Zhen and Jiang Fu supported each other, ran along the palace wall on the side, and ran into the alley in the distance.

Then he put on the garment that had just been thrown here.

Just packed up and was about to take a detour back to the Xiao Family Villa, but a carriage blocked the way.

Zhao Ting lifted the curtain and looked at Hua Zhen, and said with a smile: "Lord Qinghe, I don't know if I have time to sit with this king today?"
