Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei saw the eldest princess again and found that her complexion was worse and her eyes were cloudy, no longer as clear as before.

What on earth was he thinking when he was so sick and still went out in the cold wind?

Su Haozhi became more handsome and elegant. He carried the eldest princess down from the carriage with tenderness in his eyes.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Prince Consort." Ning Zhiwei looked at the guards and palace servants who came with the Princess. Why were there so many of them?

The princess was a little unsteady on her feet, half leaning in Su Haozhi's arms, her face slightly red, "I'm so rude to come here uninvited."

Ning Zhiwei looked at the couple for a few times and it seemed that they still had a good relationship. Su Haozhi kept looking at the princess lovingly, with no one else in his eyes.

"The gate of Hibiscus Garden is always open to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please."

As for Su Haozhi, he was simply ignored by her. He was suspected by the emperor and his situation was not good. He lost his position as a priest and was unable to leave the capital. He was trapped in the Princess's Mansion to take care of his wife.

The father and son were under the emperor's strict surveillance, and their every word and action would be reported. If evidence was found, they would be finished.

In the flower hall, Ning Zhiwei served tea and snacks. Noticing that the eldest princess was shivering slightly, she quickly asked someone to bring a few more charcoal stoves, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose.

"Are you feeling well?"

The eldest princess was very touched by her thoughtfulness. "I feel much better now. Thank you for your concern."

The two chatted for a while, but Su Haozhi didn't participate at all. Suddenly he looked at the door and asked, "Where's Jin'er? Why hasn't she come over yet?"

Ning Zhiwei's heart tightened, but she didn't show it on her face. She replied naturally, "Prince Jin has a reversed schedule. He paints at night. It is said that he has more inspiration. He is probably sleeping now. We shouldn't disturb him."

The princess' pale face showed a trace of heartache, "This child just can't take care of himself. He refused to take more people with him. We heard that he was not feeling well, so we came to check on him."

Su Haozhi looked over, his eyes as deep as the sea, "Jingning County Lady, is it convenient for us to go take a look at Jin'er?"

Uncomfortable? Haha, Ning Zhiwei nodded generously, "Of course, I will accompany you two."

Seeing her so calm, a trace of confusion flashed in Su Haozhi's eyes. Could it be that Jin'er didn't act according to the plan?

Zhenxia Pavilion has five main rooms, three east wing rooms and three west wing rooms, and the courtyard is spacious and exquisite.

A surprised voice sounded, "What? The person is not in the house? Then where did he go?"

Ning Zhiwei looked at a maid and said, "Tell us, tell the two guests about the whereabouts of Prince Jin today."

The maid bowed with a respectful look, "Prince Jin slept until 9 o'clock. He had a basket of fresh meat buns, a bowl of raw shredded pork noodles, and four side dishes for breakfast. He went out to walk around the garden at 15:00 to digest the food."

Ning Zhiwei glanced at the west wing, "Where is Lord Rong?"

"I'm going together." The maid was a first-class maid in Zhenxiayuan, responsible for serving Su Mingjin.

Ning Zhiwei was a little worried about Rong Jing's safety, but it was too late to say anything now. Furong Garden was where Su Mingjin grew up and she was familiar with it better than anyone else. There might be hidden tricks that she didn't know about.

She was careless.

"Go look for him in the garden. If you see Prince Jin, ask him to come back quickly."

"Yes."

"The east wing is the residence of Prince Jin. Would you two like to go and see the progress of his painting?" Ning Zhi smiled and made an invitation.

"Okay." The eldest princess has always liked her magnanimity and calmness.

At this moment, Su Mingjin's servant Xiao Anzi rushed in and said, "Your Highness, something bad has happened. The young master is missing."

The eldest princess felt as if her heart was hit by a heavy hammer. Her eyes went dark and her body fell down. Su Haozhi held her up, his eyes full of worry.

Ning Zhiwei saw it and sneered secretly, what a hypocritical man, he clearly used the princess to the extreme, but still pretended to be a good man who loved his wife deeply.

Xiao Anzi cried like a wolf, "Your Highness, please don't let anything happen to you. The young master is still waiting for you to rescue him."

Su Haozhi suddenly attacked, "Jingning County Lady, what did you do to Jin'er?"

The eldest princess glared at him fiercely, her eyes full of doubt.

Ning Zhiwei was not intimidated at all and questioned aggressively, "What do you mean by that? I want to ask you, since the relationship between our two families is obviously not good, why did Prince Jin come here uninvited and insist on staying in Furong Garden under the emperor's order?"

"Just let him stay. He runs around all day and tries his best to run to the inner courtyard. What's his intention?"

"Your Highness, the inner courtyard is full of female relatives. What does Prince Jin want to do? To destroy the reputation of our Ning family's female relatives?"

"Now that he's gone missing for no reason, why are you still coming up with one scheme after another, like a chain of schemes?"

She asked questions one after another with such force that the princess was stunned.

Su Haozhi's eyes flickered. She was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. "Jingning County Lady, you are shirking your responsibility. Jin'er is the only son of the princess and me. If anything happens to him, no one will survive."

Ning Zhiwei sneered and looked at Su Haozhi, "Prince Consort, this is your plan, right? What's next?"

She was too direct, and Su Haozhi's pupils shrank instantly. "What nonsense are you talking about? I know you are targeting my father and me and you don't like us, but no matter what, please spare Jin'er's life for the sake of the eldest princess."

The princess bit her lip, using the pain to sober herself up a bit, "Jingning County Lady, now is not the time to argue, find Jin'er first, and if it's his fault, I'll make him kowtow to you and apologize."

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly, "I've asked someone to look for him."

"I will personally lead people to search the garden." Su Haozhi waved his hand, and the guards who followed him were immediately eager to try.

Search the garden? They were secretly scheming to accuse her of something and take back Furong Garden. Ning Zhiwei's eyes flashed with a dark light.

"What if I don't let you?"

Su Haozhi's eyes were filled with coldness, "Then let's fight to the death and perish together."

The two sides were facing each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. At this moment, a servant reported, "Lord Xiao, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is here."

The atmosphere at the scene became quiet, and the eldest princess subconsciously looked at the man beside her. Su Haozhi's face changed drastically, "Xiao Linfeng, why is he here?"

Oh no, now that this giant Buddha is here, how can we carry out our plan?

Xiao Linfeng walked in with a group of Jinyiwei and bowed, "Jingning County Lady, please give me your orders."

Su Haozhi gasped, "Did you call him?"

It turned out that she had been procrastinating before.

Ning Zhiwei nodded as a matter of course, "Yes, if something like this happens, of course we should report it to the Royal Guards immediately."

"Prince Jin has disappeared in the garden. Please arrange a search of the garden."

"However, the backyard is full of women, so please be quiet and don't disturb the women and children."

Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "Don't worry, County Lord."

Ning Zhiwei was open and honest, as if he had done nothing wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. However, Su Haozhi was anxious and annoyed.

What if you find a secret treasure?

Although Furong Garden has changed hands, judging from the time, suspicion will definitely fall on him.

By then, the lives of the father and son would be in danger, and two hundred years of hard work would be in vain.

It's about to be exposed, and it will backfire! Man proposes, God disposes!

No, he is no match for Ning Zhiwei!

However, this matter was too big, and Ning Zhiwei and the Ning family would not be able to escape death.

Everyone had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was extremely weird.

"Report, a secret cave was discovered." A shocked voice broke the silence.
