"Not necessarily." Yuan You said, "I'll go back to the Prince's Mansion." ”

"I'll send you." Ning Yi said.

Yuan You nodded.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night, Ning Yi did not come back after sending off the prince, but went to the port to find Ji Zhen, and Jingping almost didn't sleep all night.

When the sky began to shine, she slept for a while.

After a while, he was woken up again.

At this time, it was already dawn, and Xiang Niang came to call her.

"Princess, the Hou Mansion has sent someone!"

How could the Hou Mansion send someone at this time?

She immediately went to see her, and the housekeeper of Hou Fulai came in person, and came to report with a panicked face, "Princess, the lord of Ling'an is gone!" ”

Jingping didn't panic, and asked carefully, "Why is it gone?" ”

"This morning, when it was time for breakfast, the county lord of Ling'an was still missing, so the third lady took someone to see it. It turned out that Wu'er and the other maids were all sleeping in the house, and when they looked in the inner room, the county lord of Ling'an was not in the house. And inside and outside the house, there is no little county lord. Steward Lai said.

Jingping immediately understood that this was clearly someone taking Ling'an away. Until now, who is likely to take Ling'an, as long as Yuan Zhen.

But Yuan Zhen was seriously injured? How could he take Ling'an away.

He should be with Li Pianhong, so it was Li Pianhong who took Ling'an away?

Ning Yi also came back at this time.

"I've already brought the person back, I'll let Xia Yu come over, change his clothes, and I can follow you into the palace in a while."

Jingping nodded, and asked again, "Ling'an is gone, it is likely that Yuan Zhen sent someone to take her away, and they must be leaving Dong'an City now."

Hearing that Ling'an was gone, Ning Yi twisted his eyebrows, "The city gate is now tightly guarded, and no one is out of the city for the time being." However, there are a few small city gates, as long as the martial arts are strong, they can jump out of the city. ”

"But you said that Yuan Zhen was extremely injured, how could he stand such a toss, let alone take Ling An away." Jingping Road.

"Indeed, his injuries must be recuperated, and his heart must be protected by internal force, otherwise his life will return to the west in an instant." Ning Yi didn't let her worry too much, "Jiang Dongyang will continue to search the city, now Yuan Zhen is not afraid, the five-star island master is the key." ”

At the mention of the five-star island owner, Jingping smiled deeply, "Believe me, he will automatically come to the door today." ”

Ning Yi knew that she had all the plans, and at this time, there was a word outside, saying that the Prince's Mansion had sent news that he had already entered the palace.

"I'm going to enter the palace too." Jingping said.

"Well, you go to the palace, and I'll come later." Ning Yi said.

Jingping called Xia Yu and Chun Qing in and waited for him to change his clothes and makeup.

The prince's safe return is a great joy for the court and the heavenly family.

In recent days, Emperor Jinghe has been unable to eat and sleep at night because the prince has not returned. Now that he learned that the prince had returned, he happily summoned all the important ministers to the Qianyuan Palace to welcome the prince together.

Seeing that although the crown prince was still in a wheelchair, he was intact, and Emperor Jinghe was very pleased

"You'er, it's great that you're back."

"Son-in-law, see father." Wonwoo's eyes reddened.

"It's good to be back." Emperor Jinghe held his son's shoulder, "Your queen mother and grandmother have been looking forward to you for a long time." ”

"Congratulations on the safe return of the prince." Liu Shiyuan said.

The other courtiers and princes congratulated together.

Fu Jianing stepped forward at this time and said, "Your Majesty, last night, under the arrangement of the prince, he took down more than 200 Jianghu high-rollers in one fell swoop, these Jianghu high-rollers claimed to have gone north to kill the prince on the order of the five-star island lord, dare to ask how to deal with these Jianghu high-rollers?" ”

Liu Shiyuan said, "These people dare to kill the prince, and according to the ministers, they should all be killed." ”

Immediately the courtiers seconded it.

Emperor Jinghe didn't speak, but looked at the crown prince.

"What does the prince think?"

"Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters thought that these so-called high-rollers were just a rabble, and they came to Dong'an City after being bewitched by the five-star island lord for a while. Not all of these people want to assassinate their sons, but more of them want to see the true face of the five-star island master. ”

"Since ancient times, killing people is actually the easiest, but it is the hardest to win people's hearts. Of course, it is easy to kill these high-rollers, but if you kill these high-rollers, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people in the world, thinking that I am cruel and indiscriminately killing innocents. ”

Emperor Jinghe ascended the throne all the way to the throne as the emperor, and he also came with blood and bones. He is not afraid of killing, but he is afraid that killing is useless, and killing will cause trouble.

What You'er said was speaking to his heart.

"Then what does the prince think?" Lou asked.

"Last night, I ordered Commander Fu to place them in Ziwei Palace and entertain them with good wine and food. The war in the northwest is tight, and those who are willing to stay in Da'an to serve in the army will be issued military uniforms, given silver taels, and enlisted in the army. Those who did not want to stay, each of them went to each of them for ten taels of silver. Yuan You said.

"The prince is generous, you must know that the food of these hundreds of people is also extremely expensive." Wang Youyi of the household department.

Yuanyou has always known that Wang Youyi is picking at the rope, and he is most afraid that he will ask him for money.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, entertain these high-rollers, Prince Ben won't care if you ask for a penny." ”

"......," Wang Youyi asked for the prince's words, and said busily, "It couldn't be better." ”

"What do the other Aiqing think?" Jinghe Emperor's Road.

Although the other courtiers felt that it was inappropriate to entertain these high-rollers, since the prince had caught the person, and he himself said that he would deal with it, they had no opinion.

"What about the thirteen princesses of Xishu who kidnapped the royal brother?" The sixth prince Yuan Tuo asked.

"I didn't arrange this matter well, I think that although there is a war in the northwest, she is a princess of a country in the end. wanted to arrange her in Ananda's princess's mansion, but who knew that she had escaped. Yuan You said, "Now the city gate has been sealed and is being searched." ”

"The most important thing is that you return safely, and the thirteenth princess will search carefully." Jinghe Emperor's Road.

"Yes, Father."

The ministers and princes saw that Jing and the emperor still seemed to have something to say, and they also felt that there was nothing to discuss again, so they retired one after another.

Only their father and son were left, and Yuanyou told Emperor Jinghe everything about last night.

"It's Yuan Zhen, and you let him run away?" Jing and Emperor Fury's eyes.

"He was slapped by Zijiu, he was seriously injured, and he couldn't run far." Yuanyou Road.

"This rebel!" Emperor Jinghe also gritted his teeth when he mentioned Yuan Zhen.

"Father, Zijiu also found that the five-star island lord was not good for Da'an, and he was afraid that so many high-rollers from the rivers and lakes would gather in Dong'an City, which would be unfavorable to the imperial court, so he turned back halfway to potential Yuyuan Port, and asked his father not to blame him." Yuanyou said busily.

"If it weren't for him, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to come back, he saved you and calmed down a mess, how could I blame him." Jinghe Emperor's Road.

"Indeed, if it weren't for Zijiu last night, with the martial arts of the five-star island master, no one would be able to help him?"

"What about the five-star island master?" Emperor Jinghe immediately asked.

Yuanyou thought for a moment, and then said, "Ananda said that he will come uninvited today." ”
