The news of Lu Lin's disappearance was like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly causing a thousand waves, and everyone was guessing whether the little prince was alive or dead.

The Eastern Palace had finally found this lifeline, but it disappeared in just a few days, which meant that the Eastern Palace was really going to fall.

Early in the morning, people from Fengqi Palace went to Prince Ning's mansion to pick someone up. Princess Ning reluctantly brought Brother Ning into the palace.

Empress Fang looked at Yun Ge'er and Yun Ge'er at the same time: "After all, they are cousins ​​and look quite similar. Yun Ge'er rarely has a playmate in the palace."

Princess Ning's heart sank when she heard this. She didn't want to bring Yun Ge'er into the palace every day. She forced a smile on her face and said, "When the little prince comes back, he can accompany Yun Ge'er every day."

When saying this, Princess Ning did not forget to look at Queen Fang's expression.

Queen Fang's smile faded, she sighed, and told the maid beside her: "Take the two children to play in the corridor."

"Yes."

The palace maid led the two away.

Princess Ning looked at her son worriedly, with a look of concern on her face. Even when she was chatting with Queen Fang, she would look outside from time to time.

Queen Fang pretended not to see it.

Suddenly, someone outside reported that the envoy had arrived. Princess Ning looked up and saw Lu Jingning approaching.

There was no anxiety, worry or anger on his face, but rather a calm and peaceful state.

The little prince is missing, shouldn’t Lu Jingning be worried?

"Greetings to the Queen."

Queen Fang raised her hand falsely: "No need to be polite, please sit down. How has your mother been these past two days?"

Lu Jingning sat opposite Princess Ning and said calmly, "Mother is still the same."

"Does the Crown Princess know that the young prince is missing?" Princess Ning couldn't help but ask.

Lu Jingning raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Ning, then nodded without hesitation: "How could you not know about such a big thing? It's a pity for Liuli, whose fate cannot suppress her good fortune."

Hearing the other party's nonchalant remarks, Princess Ning was choked. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out why Lu Jingning was so calm.

Lu Jingning has offended too many people these days. Once his mortal enemy ascends the throne, Lu Jingning's fate will definitely not be good.

"It's not your fault. You traveled thousands of miles to bring the person back to enjoy a good life, but he died." Queen Fang sighed and said that life is unpredictable and there is no need to take it to heart.

"Your Highness is right." Lu Jingning nodded obediently, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Just now I went to visit the Emperor and heard by chance that a guard in front of the Emperor died yesterday, and he also found out something."

Princess Ning's face changed slightly. When she looked up and met Lu Jingning's half-smile, her eyelids twitched suddenly.

The imperial guard was Xiao Mazi's brother. Both of them died, and it was so sudden. What's more, Lu Lin is missing.

Princess Ning racked her brains but couldn't figure out what the next step would be?

But I felt more and more uneasy.

"Why does Auntie Prince Ning look so unhappy?" Lu Jingning asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

Princess Ning forced a smile and waved her hand: "Maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday, it's okay."

At this time, a eunuch came in hurriedly and whispered something to Queen Fang. Queen Fang's face changed instantly: "Is this true?"

The eunuch nodded.

Queen Fang was silent for a while and said, "Step aside."

Perhaps it was because Queen Fang's reaction was too great that it aroused Princess Ning's curiosity. Princess Ning first glanced at Lu Jingning, and when she saw that she had no intention of asking, she couldn't help but ask, "Mother, did something happen?"

Queen Fang nodded to Princess Ning and said, "Lord Bu has captured the assassins who tried to kill Liuli, and one of them has opened his mouth. This matter has been linked to the Ning Palace."

After hearing this, Princess Ning's head exploded with a buzzing sound, her face turned pale, and she murmured, "It's impossible, my son and the prince are together every day, I will never do anything to Liuli."

"The target of these assassins is not Liuli, but Lin Ge'er." Queen Fang said.

Princess Ning was speechless.

The identities of these people were indeed suspects of the attack. Princess Ning looked at Lu Jingning who was calm and composed opposite her, and suddenly realized.

This trap must have been set up by Lu Jingning and Bu Yan to deal with King Ning.

In front of Queen Fang, Princess Ning had no way of refutation and could only remain silent. Queen Fang, seeing the situation had come to this, tactfully stopped talking, rubbed her brows, said she was tired, and asked everyone to leave.

The two stood up and saluted. After they left, Princess Ning caught up with Lu Jingning and said, "My dear, please stay. I have a few words to talk to you alone."

Lu Jingning understood and pointed to the corridor not far away.

The two walked side by side in the corridor, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. Princess Ning thought again and again, took a deep breath and said, "My Lord, Prince Ning was framed."

"Aunt Ning, there's no point telling me about this. I don't have the final say on right and wrong." Lu Jingning shrugged. The reason why she was still so kind to Princess Ning was because she had saved her twice before.

Princess Ning stopped and said, "My Lord, let's not beat around the bush. I want to know how to resolve this matter."

Her husband was suspected of murdering the young prince, and her son was detained in the palace by the Queen. Princess Ning really didn't know what to do to save both of them.

Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

This matter has been a dead end since her father's death, and she will not let anyone involved go.

"Aning, do you really want Prince Ning to die as an atonement?" Princess Ning suddenly raised her voice, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Lu Jingning didn't beat around the bush: "If the people who had the upper hand today were Ning Wangfu or Shen Junwangfu, would they spare my mother and me?"

The answer is obvious, absolutely not!

Prince Shen wished Lu Jingning would die.

Although Prince Ning did not say it, his actual actions have shown that he would root out the trouble completely and leave no future troubles.

He stood on the side of Prince Shen and gave a lot of advice.

If you are soft-hearted and spare Prince Ning today, he will definitely fight back when he turns the tables one day.

Princess Ning's lips trembled: "In fact, there is no need to kill him. There are many ways, even if it is to keep him alive."

Lu Jingning sighed, "Since Auntie Ning has helped me, I will ask Lord Bu to give Auntie Ning a chance to meet King Ning. From now on, we are even."

Princess Ning frowned. Prince Ning was just a suspect, but the Emperor hadn't issued an order to arrest him yet. What did he mean by giving her a chance to meet him?

Princess Ning soon knew the answer.

The palace ordered Bu Yan to investigate the matter personally and show no leniency, regardless of identity. Bu Yan has already led people to capture Prince Ning and put him in jail.

Princess Ning shook her body when she heard this, as if she realized something and felt something was wrong. These things happened too suddenly.

The most important thing is that the guy in the Council Hall was very cooperative.

It was as if he had known this would happen.

Princess Ning gritted her teeth, forced herself to calm down, and walked step by step towards the palace gate.

She thought of countermeasures countless times on the way out of the palace.

But the opponent is Bu Yan, and Princess Ning is unsure.

"Princess, are we going to see the prince?" asked the maid.

Princess Ning hesitated, closed her eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision: "No, let's go back home."

The maid was surprised: "But didn't the lady say that you can meet the prince?"

Princess Ning shook her head.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. These people have already captured Prince Ning, so there is no way they will let him go. Prince Ning will definitely die, but Prince Ning's Mansion cannot fall. She still has her son, and her mother's family, and they must not be implicated.

Sometimes doing nothing is better than running around in a panic.
