Chapter 386

"When did mother become so sensational, I don't even know what to say!"

Nangong Yizhi was really uncomfortable with his mother's sudden hug, but he also suddenly found that the hug was so warm, so warm.

"Stinky boy!" Hearing his mischievous words, Madam Ning Guohou let go of him but was reluctant to hug him back again, "In mother's heart, you are all my children and the most important thing, but mother believes that you understand better. Shao Chen doesn't have a mother, so I have to give him more. But this doesn't mean I ignore you, understand?"

Although my mother had told him this kind of thing since I was a child, my ears were callused, but I remembered that when I was rescued by my cousin in Pingcheng, my cousin once said that my mother was really worried about him.

Nangong Yizhi decided not to be talkative this time, "My boy understands, it's my boy who made my mother worry, but isn't my baby standing in front of you now?"

"You stinky boy, you have the nerve to say it. Do you know that the news of your disappearance scared the mother to death. If you have any good or evil, how will you let the rest of the life of the mother live?"

The mother who has always had a sassy personality never said such a thing.

Seeing the guilt and self-blame in her eyes, Nangong Yizhi hugged his mother tightly in his arms for the first time, "Mother, I promise you that no matter what you do in the future, you will be safe, but now I will go to the palace to solve the problem." About the cousin, are you right?"

Wiping away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, Madam Ning Guohou patted him on the shoulder, "As expected of my good son, yes, Shaochen is in danger, the most urgent thing now is to figure out the whole story, so we can figure out what to do. The solution. Go, the Seventh Prince's people must have been guarding outside the city gate, but Mother has already arranged everything, let's go to the palace and see the Holy Majesty."

After Nangong Yizhi left, Ling Muer hurriedly told Madam Ning Guohou everything they had investigated about the Seventh Prince.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ning Guohou was furious, "Bastard! He Qin Xuanting, he Qin Xuanting actually did such a rebellious thing! He cultivated the army privately, what is he going to do, rebellion? It is obvious that he is bold but framed us Chen'er, I, I Now go to the palace and tell the emperor all this."

Seeing that the godmother was about to leave angrily, even taking out a machete to chop off Qin Xuanting, Ling Muer hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry, Yizhi has already entered the palace, and he will tell the emperor about the details." It's clear, you should help me figure out how to rescue Shao Chen from death row."

"Yes, yes, it is important to rescue Shao Chen first." Mrs. Ning Guohou calmed down, but she soon became confused again, "But, Muer, you don't know that the death row is not an ordinary cage, and everyone who enters there is sure to die. It stands to reason that Shao Chen should not have been imprisoned there."

Seeing that Ganniang was also so confused, Ling Muer had a bold guess, "Ganniang, could it be Qin Xuanting who passed on the imperial decree?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning Guohou hurriedly covered Ling Muer's mouth tightly, "Silly girl, you must not say such nonsense."

"I didn't talk nonsense. Today, Yizhi and I saw the man imprisoning Shaochen to the death row with the imperial decree at the gate of the city. Although I don't understand the laws of the heaven, how could the prince be imprisoned for breaking the law without trial? What about the death row? Besides, I more or less know that the emperor thinks highly of Shao Chen, and according to my understanding of the emperor, he would not do this, godmother, have other things happened in Beijing recently?"

Hearing Ling Muer's questioning, Mrs. Ning Guohou thought carefully, "After you left the capital, everything was peaceful here, and nothing radical happened, except half a month ago, when Qin Xuanting suddenly entered the palace and seemed to say something to the emperor. On the second day, someone set off with an imperial decree, and we only found out about it a few days later, and it was because the emperor was seriously ill that the news spread."

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ning Guohou was furious, "This damned Qin Xuanting, it's fine for him to conspire to rebel, and he even planted a frame for blame. If I find evidence, he will definitely die!"

Knowing that the godmother is a temperamental person, this matter will never be let go easily, Ling Muer calmed down and thought calmly.

By the way, Your Majesty.

"My godmother said just now that the emperor is seriously ill?"

"That's right, I heard that it was because of Chen'er's rebellion that the emperor vomited blood in a fit of anger, and then fell ill. Concubine Min has been taking care of her these days." As she spoke, the godmother seemed to have guessed it What, "Could it be Concubine Min's gossip that made the confused emperor give Chen'er the death penalty?"

Hearing this, Ling Mu'er had goosebumps all over her body, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"The Seventh Prince's motives are impure. I'm afraid that Concubine Min's contribution is indispensable. The position of Empress has always been vacant, so how could Concubine Min not keep an eye on it?"

While Ling Muer was talking, suddenly a servant rushed to report.

"Ma'am, there are two men outside the door begging to see you."

Mrs. Ning Guohou was taken aback, "The two men, can you say who they are?"

"One of them is named Mo Qing." The servant replied.

Ling Muer immediately jumped up, "Let him in quickly!"

The slave looked uncertainly at Mrs. Ning Guohou, and after getting her nod of approval, the slave immediately went to do it.

Not long after, I saw Mo Qing walking quickly with Liu Changyu, the prefect of Pingcheng.

"My subordinates have seen Mrs. Ning Guohou and the second concubine." The two saluted solemnly.

"Get up." Mrs. Ning Guohou hurriedly asked the two to get up, but she was a stranger to both of them, "How did you two find this place?"

"Returning to Madam, this subordinate is the personal bodyguard of the crown prince. He was ordered by the crown prince to go to Pingcheng to bring Liu Changyu, the prefect of Pingcheng, back to the capital. However, when the subordinate first arrived in the capital, he heard that something happened to the second prince, and he could not contact the crown prince. I had no choice but to come to Ningguohou's Mansion." Mo Qing looked at Ling Muer after reporting, "The second concubine, the prefect of Pingcheng has already brought her here, but what is going on here?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but since the magistrate is here, things will be much easier to handle." Ling Muer said, pushing Liu Changyu in front of Mrs. Ning Guohou, "Mother, this is what I just told you. Yes, the magistrate of Pingcheng, we already have Qin Xuanting’s account books in our hands, and with the magistrate’s testimony, I believe that the emperor will release Shao Chen after learning all this.”

Seeing Ling Muer's self-confidence, Mrs. Ning Guohou also felt that there was some truth, "Although this evidence is not strong, it can at least bring that brat Chen'er out of the death row. In this way, after Yizhi returns, if he still If there is no result, I will personally bring you into the palace to face the saint."

With Mrs. Ning Guohou as the guarantee, even if Qin Xuanting sent people to guard around the imperial city, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Thank you, godmother!" Ling Muer hurriedly thanked.

The godmother arranged rooms for Mo Qing and Liu Changyu, and everyone waited for Nangong Yizhi's return with peace of mind.

In the room, Ling Mu'er felt strange, "You set off from Rongcheng to Pingcheng, and then returned to Beijing from Pingcheng. It stands to reason that we would be two days behind us. How could you catch up so quickly?"

Mo Qing seemed to have thought that she would ask this question a long time ago, and he pointed at Liu Changyu with his eyes, "This matter is thanks to the magistrate, when the magistrate heard about the accident with the second prince, he cooperated with us very much, and he thought that the only way to come to the emperor in advance The second prince can be rescued as soon as possible, so he and I hurried back from Xiaolu, fortunately, there is still time."

Hearing this, Ling Mu'er looked at Liu Changyu again. Although this man over 40 years old was a bit vicissitudes, he looked honest and honest. He didn't seem to have any evil thoughts, but he could be contacted in Pingcheng The past few days are not enough to make this person so loyal to them.

Could it be that she was thinking too much?

"Mu'er is here to thank the magistrate."

Seeing her salute, Liu Changyu was instantly flattered, "The second concubine has offended me, this is the job of me, so please don't be polite to me."

"You have come to the capital, so naturally I won't be polite to you. If there is no result from Nangong Yizhi, then I will take you into the palace to face the saint later, as long as you tell the emperor truthfully Just tell us the facts when you were in Pingcheng."

Liu Changyu nodded, "Don't worry, the second concubine, I will know that I will say everything, and I will say everything." After speaking, he bowed his head reverently, but unfortunately no one saw the helplessness that flashed in the corner of his eyes after bowing his head.

When it was getting dark, Nangong Yizhi finally came back from the palace.

When she saw him appearing in front of her with a melancholy face and dejected head, Ling Muer knew that he had failed.

"What's the matter, brat, what are you talking about!" Mrs. Ning Guohou was so anxious that she punched him on the head unceremoniously.

"Mother! I'm your own son!" Nangong Yizhi was taken aback, but when he saw Mo Qing and Liu Changyu were also there, suspicion flashed across his face, "Why did you two come back so soon?" ?”

But before the two of them could answer, he hurriedly said, "This matter is much more complicated than I imagined, Mu'er, don't get excited after hearing this."

After getting Ling Muer's nod, Nangong Yizhi continued, "I went to the palace this morning to face the saint, but the emperor didn't see him at all. He just sent someone to send a message that he was sick and he didn't see anyone. In desperation, I had no choice but to join all the ministers and kneel in the nursery. It took two full hours in front of the gate of the Heart Palace, until the afternoon, before the emperor was willing to see me."

Saying that, Nangong Yizhi sighed again, "But the emperor is seriously ill, no matter how I try to clear up my cousin's grievances, the emperor will not believe it, but the emperor gave us a ten-day deadline, if we can find evidence within ten days Those who prove that those people are not my cousin will be able to release my cousin, otherwise..."

Nangong Yizhi shook his head and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Ling Mu'er exploded in an instant, "Damn it! It's Qin Xuanting, it must be Qin Xuanting and Concubine Min who whispered something in the emperor's ear, I'll go to the palace and ask the emperor to clarify."

Seeing Ling Muer being impulsive, Nangong Yizhi quickly winked at Mo Qing and told him to stop Ling Muer.

"Mu'er, I told you not to be impulsive. The emperor has given us ten days, which proves that at least nothing will happen to my cousin in a short period of time. If you go to see the emperor again at this time, maybe the ten days will be gone. Besides, you should worry about your family first..."
