The princess ran away again

Chu Zhao's figure had disappeared around the corner, and Zhao Zong's face was still full of leisure, his eyes were heavy, and he couldn't see through his real thoughts.He poured himself a glass of wine, and after a long time he let out a foul breath.

"My lord, you just let her go like this?" The attendant beside Zhao Zong hesitated again and again, and asked out his inner doubts.

"She is wary of me, but I think she should keep this matter in mind. After returning to Beijing, she will naturally ask the insider." With the fingertips dripping with alcohol, he continued, "Let's go back first, Ningguo is still not safe."

The attendant glanced cautiously at Zhao Zong, and said in a low voice, "The old prince may be angry if the person is not brought back."

Zhao Zong just hooked his lips when he heard the words, and hummed softly, "What the hell is he doing?"

As Zhao Zong said, both Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao had this matter hanging in their hearts.After returning to the room, the two remained silent until Xiao Er knocked on the door and brought some pastries, Ning Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, broke the silence in the room, and whispered: "Take off your clothes and I'll see Look." Back in the valley, when she bandaged Chu Zhao's wound, she did see the birthmark on her back.Listening to what Zhao Zong said now brought back memories of the past.

Chu Zhao smiled wryly and said: "Don't look too much, there are indeed." Judging from Zhao Zong's accent, he is not from the capital, and looking at his appearance, he is somewhat similar to Xie Qiluo.Does he know these things, is it related to his mother?Who was that strange woman who came to worship at the tomb?I was in a mess, I didn't expect that this trip to the south would lead to all these troubles.

Ning Yuyao's eyes froze, seeing something strange in Chu Zhao's expression, she asked, "What do you know?"

Chu Zhao pondered for a moment before saying, "It may be related to my mother's identity."

Ning Yuyao asked with a puzzled look: "Mother, what happened to her?"

Chu Zhao sighed and said, "Do you still remember what I mentioned to you before? My mother is probably from the South, and my father is unwilling to talk about it. The identity of the South is nothing. But if he is associated with some dignitaries, it's hard to tell. I don't think Zhao Zong is the young master of an ordinary family."

If Mrs. Chu is the empress of Jin, it means that the general's mansion is likely to be accused of collaborating with the enemy.No one mentioned or doubted Mrs. Chu's identity, which means that General Chu deliberately concealed it.Ning Yuyao realized that the matter was far more complicated than she thought. She stared at Chu Zhao and asked softly, "So you want to stay in Youyang to investigate clearly?"

"No." Chu Zhao shook her head. She held Ning Yuyao's hand, rubbed it lightly for a while, and said in a low voice, "Let's go back to Beijing tomorrow." You might as well go back and ask your father about the truth.

When I came here, I had the heart of traveling in the mountains and rivers, and I had a leisurely time, but when I went back, I hurried on the horse, for fear that a delay would cause an irreversible ending.In mid-September, the two who traveled abroad returned to Kyoto.Chu Zhao was in charge of the emperor's decree. Although there were secret guards to send the letter, she should go directly to the palace to report to the emperor what she had experienced along the way.When passing by the general's mansion, he met his elder brother walking out of the mansion, but he was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to say hello.

When they arrived in the palace, everything happened beyond Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao's expectations. The emperor in his prime was lingering on the sick bed!In just a few months, the world was turned upside down.Ning Yuyao was worried, and wanted to go inside to pay her respects, but was stopped by the eunuch, saying that the current emperor only ordered the queen to accompany her, and no one else was seen.

Anxiety was burning in her heart, and she didn't know how her father's illness was. The smile on Ning Yuyao's face disappeared, leaving only deep worries. "Why is there no news from the hidden guards? When did the father get sick? How is the illness?" He paced back and forth in the hall, wanting to break into the emperor's bedroom impulsively several times to find out.

Chu Zhao frowned, and whispered, "Probably when I received the 'return' letter." The emperor was seriously ill, and the power of the prince had not yet been fully grasped, which might easily cause a big commotion. "There may be a letter from the palace, but it was intercepted."

Ning Yuyao's complexion sank, a name had already appeared in her mind, and she shouted, "Who is so bold!"

Chu Zhao didn't answer, she pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Now that the Holy Majesty and the Empress can't see each other, it's better to go to the Prince's Mansion first."

Ning Yuyao gradually calmed down after hearing the words, and the only one she can rely on now is her brother.She nodded slightly, glanced at Chu Zhao, and said in a low voice, "You go with me." Of course Chu Zhao couldn't wish for it, and she also wanted to know the recent situation in the palace so that she could find a way out in the future.

The news that Chu and Zhao returned to the capital was not ostentatious, but there were eyeliners everywhere, and it was easy for anyone who cared to know their whereabouts.Just after leaving the palace gate to the Prince's Mansion, he saw a young servant from the Guangwang Mansion coming, saying that he wanted to invite Chu Zhao to go over to reminisce about the old relationship.Xu was afraid that Chu Zhao would not agree to go, so he added, "The second son of Chu is also here."

Why is the second brother in the Prince Guang's Mansion?How is the general's mansion going?Is the sentence a threat or simply a statement?The more Chu Zhao thought about it, the more confused he became, the hand hanging by his side suddenly clenched into a fist.She stared at the respectful attendant coldly, restraining the restless flame in her heart.

Ning Yuyao secretly sighed, although going out to travel in the palace is dangerous, but after all, it is more comfortable, which is many times better than the palace where the dark tide is surging.Along the way, many of King Guang's subordinates were lost. Is this a crime?Even if King Dingguang didn't dare to do anything to Chu Hui, Chu Zhao couldn't let it go, right?It's useless to stay.After she figured it out, Ning Yuyao lingered in her ear and whispered, "Go, be careful."

The Prince's Mansion was also colder and quieter than before, the old servant led Ning Yuyao to the inner hall and left in a hurry.

The person standing with his hands behind his back in the hall seemed to have lost a lot of weight, his chins were covered with blue stubble, and his expression was melancholy.When Ning Yuyao saw her elder brother, tears immediately filled her eyes. She bit her chin to restrain her emotions, but there was still a bit of crying in her voice. She asked, "What happened? Why? Will it look like this?"

Ning Jue took a step forward, touched his sister's head, and sighed very lightly.He avoided Ning Yuyao's question, and asked softly, "How does it feel to go out? Is it more comfortable than in the palace? Can there be any damage? Has anyone bullied you?"

Ning Yuyao grabbed Ning Jue's sleeve and wiped her eyes. She shook her head vigorously and asked again, "How is the father? Why is no one seen?"

Ning Jue let out a sigh, and a deep light flashed in his eyes. "Except for my mother, no one can see my father now. I am the same as King Guang. I asked the people in the imperial medical office, but they refused to reveal anything. Now the affairs of the court are mostly decided by the ministers. You don't have to worry. There is a mother here."

Having said that, how could Ning Yuyao not be worried?Although the blood relationship in the royal family is weak, she is the emperor's favorite daughter, and the love between father and daughter is far beyond the comparison of other princes and princesses.How could she be at ease when something like this happened? "Is there any way to meet the emperor?" Ning Yuyao looked at the prince expectantly.

Ning Jue shook his head, suppressed the pain in his eyes, and sighed in a low voice: "Yao'er, don't disturb the emperor's plan."

Ning Yuyao was shocked when she heard the words, could it be fake?To lure a snake out of its hole?Her heart relaxed a little, but she still said: "I still have to find a way to see my father or my mother." After a pause, she asked again, "Where is the emperor's wife? Why don't you see her?" Very sincere, has always been inseparable.But now, after coming to the Prince's Mansion for a long time, she was nowhere to be seen.Furthermore, there is a low breath in the house, could it be——

Ning Jue's heart was full of sourness, and he said with a wry smile, "She's gone." Seeing Ning Yuyao's shocked face, as if he had misunderstood something, he added, "If you want to see her, go to your uncle's house. By the way, let's see if we can persuade her to come back."

Ning Yuyao kept asking: "What do you mean? Sister-in-law left? Why?"

Ning Jue sighed, and replied: "It happened a few days ago. There was a misunderstanding between us, which caused an accident to the child in her womb, and she returned to her mother's house in a fit of anger."

The princess slipped a tire?This is no small matter!The person in her womb may be the future eldest grandson!Ning Yuyao's eyes widened, and she said, "Could it be that the concubine Ji in the mansion was jealous and hurt the emperor's wife?"

"No." Ning Jue shook her head, and added, "But it's not too far away. Do you remember the young lady in Duke Qin's mansion?"

"Qin Yi?" This is King Guang's sweetheart, but she has been chasing after the prince's elder brother.

"Yes." Ning Jue nodded heavily, "She wants to enter the Prince's Mansion, but I naturally don't want to. I didn't expect her to be so vicious. She would rather destroy her innocence than enter the mansion." Speaking of Regarding this matter, Ning Jue still had a backlog of anger in his heart. He made an appointment with Qin Zhong, but who knew that it was Qin Yi who used his brother's name to do something in the dark.She did not hesitate to put aside her face as a daughter of the family, but also wanted to cook raw rice.This incident happened to be broken by the found princess, who lost her footing and fell to the ground in agitation, causing the baby in her womb to also be lost.How could he be willing to marry such a calculating woman like Qin Yi?The Crown Princess was sad and returned to her natal home, and then it was reported that the Emperor was seriously ill. He has been busy so far, and he has no time to invite the Crown Princess back.

When Ning Yuyao heard this story, she didn't know whether to scold or laugh, she reprimanded: "It's ridiculous!" After a pause, she asked, "How about King Guang?"

Ning Jue sighed and said, "Naturally, he rushed into the prince's residence in a fit of rage." With Qin Yi's family background, being a prince's side concubine is enough.He didn't want to accept Qin Yi as his concubine, firstly because he didn't like her, and secondly because she was his younger brother's sweetheart, and taking someone's love is not what a gentleman should do.He didn't want to deepen the rift between the two brothers, but things didn't go as expected.
