Everyone looked at Chu Shaoyang with confusion, anger, condemnation, and contempt.
Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes also darkened for a moment, and she asked softly: "Locked to the bed, Shaoyang, did you imprison Ning'er? What mistake did she make that you want to treat her like this?"
The muscles on Mo Chuan's forehead couldn't help but twitch. Although he had already known about this from Shen Ning's mouth, but now that he heard Chu Shaoyang say it with his own ears, he was still so angry that he could hardly suppress it.
Chu Shaoyang raised his chin and replied calmly: "Grandma Huang, my grandson is not imprisoning Ning'er, it's for her own good. She fainted after the competition that day, and her grandson carried her back to the house and found her She was seriously injured, leaving deep knife marks on both wrists. It was obvious that she had lost a lot of blood before, so her grandson asked a doctor to see her. The doctor said that she was extremely weak due to all the hard work and effort, and she must stay in bed to recuperate. However, However, Ning'er disobeyed the doctor's advice and wanted to go to the palace for a banquet. Her grandson had no choice but to chain her up so that she could not get out of bed at will. Later, when her grandson entered the palace, she was given a thousand-year snow by the crown prince of Dong Qin. After returning to the house, the grandson immediately sent someone to make ginseng soup for Ning'er to take, so before he could untie her, a fire suddenly broke out in the grandson's house. The grandson rushed out to put out the fire, but After half a cup of tea, when the grandson came back, Ning'er had disappeared, leaving only two severed iron chains. Imperial Grandma, every word of what the grandson said is true, please empathize with it. !”
What he said was clear and clear, as if it was flowing smoothly. It was obvious that he had already thought about what he said before he came.
He not only told the Queen Mother Zhou, but also told all the ministers present. Otherwise, if everyone forced him to hand over the person, how could he hand over the person
The Empress Dowager Zhou and the ministers were dubious after hearing this, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
"So that's it. So, someone really sneaked into your house and kidnapped Ning'er?" Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Mo Chuan from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that her son's face was unmoving, she knew something.
No wonder Chu Shaoyang complained to him. Even if the emperor did not instigate this matter, the emperor would definitely know the whereabouts of Ning'er, otherwise how could he be as calm and composed as he is now!
Chu Shaoyang nodded vigorously: "Yes, Imperial Grandma, my grandson would never dare to deceive you. What's more, the competition with Dong Qin is about to begin, and Ning'er has not been found. My grandson is also worried and anxious like everyone else. My grandson is worried about Ning'er's safety, and he is also worried about me, Xi Chu, but the emperor doesn't believe what he says. No matter how stupid he is, he can't do such a disgraceful thing to our country!"
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded slightly and said to Mo Chuan: "Emperor, Shaoyang's words are true. You should quickly order someone to find the princess. If the princess doesn't show up when the time comes, won't Dong Qin laugh at me, Xi Chu, for not keeping my word!" "
Mo Chuan replied: "Okay."
He glanced at Chu Shaoyang lightly. Although he was angry with him for all the despicable things he did to Shen Ning, his impeccable words just now made him completely clear that he was a very smart person.
"Xiaosi, here's the order, all the Imperial Guards are going to search for the whereabouts of the princess. We must find the princess before noon!" he ordered.
Hearing this, Queen Mother Zhou and Chu Shaoyang's noses almost became angry.
