Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan have already settled down in the imperial capital, and found that the imperial capital is almost patrolled by officers and soldiers every day, and even goes from house to house to check the population. This phenomenon is really strange.
"Ah Zhan, those officers and soldiers seem to be looking for someone." Ye Zhen said to Mo Rongzhan after closing the door after sending off the officers and soldiers for inspection.
"What did you ask?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen said, "Where did you come from, what do you want to do, how many people are in the family, I asked in detail, and I always feel very weird."
Mo Rongzhan held Ye Zhen's hand and walked into the room, gently stroking the back of her hand with his thumb, "Xue Lin and the others couldn't find out about Zhao Ning. According to the current situation in the capital, Zhao Ning should not be in Cheng Zheng's hands." inside."
"Then where will Zhao Ning be?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise, she actually had this suspicion, but Zhao Ning had a child and was pregnant, so it would definitely not be easy to escape from Cheng Zheng's grasp. "Is there someone helping Zhao Ning?"
"Maybe." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Zhao Ning is Zhao Yong's daughter, Zhao Yong's former courtiers may help her for the sake of blood relationship."
Ye Zhen thought carefully about the people around Zhao Yong at that time, and the one who impressed her most was Song Hongao.
"I heard that Song Hongao resigned from his official position after Zhao Rao became the empress, and now he is just a Marquis who has nothing to do at home. Could it be that he helped Zhao Ning." Ye Zhen whispered.
"I'll go out to inquire tomorrow." Murong Zhan said.
Ye Zhen said, "Let me inquire, you know, some gossip women are easier to inquire about."
"Are you sure?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows, although his vision was still unclear, he still looked down at Ye Zhen.
"Very sure." Ye Zhen said with a smile, and tiptoed to kiss him.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "Okay."
Ye Zhen took his hand and went back to the house. They had just arrived in Qi State for two days. In order to convince the officers and soldiers, she took Murong Zhan to see a doctor, although she felt that no doctor could cure Murong Zhan's eyes. But there is still a little luck in my heart, what if
So she still boiled medicine for Murong Zhan to drink, no matter how stinky Murong Zhan's face was, she coaxed and threatened him to drink it.
The next day, Ye Zhen went out early. There was a market on the East Street early in the morning, and many people who came to buy vegetables and go to the market would chat there. He likes to talk a few words outside, if he wants to know the secrets of the capital, as long as he spends half a day in the market, he will definitely know a lot of things.
Ye Zhen dressed up as a peasant woman and walked towards a crowded place, just in time to hear a few women talking about the most secret secret in the city.
"Have you heard? It turns out that the Marquis of Anning had an affair with... that one a long time ago."
"I used to be an uncle, so there are naturally many opportunities to get along."
"Have you heard? The first emperor wanted to marry another princess to the Marquis of An Ning."
"Don't talk nonsense, your head will be beheaded..."
Ye Zhen listened silently for a while, and felt that there was nothing to listen to, so she turned around and was about to leave.
"I have a nephew whose neighbor is the current Cheng family. Do you know why officers and soldiers have been patrolling the city recently?"
Ye Zhen, who had already walked a few steps, stopped again, and leaned over curiously.
"Someone is missing from Anning Hou's family." The man lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly. Is there anyone in Cheng Zheng's family who is missing? Do you want to look for it in the capital
"I heard that it was the concubine raised by the Marquis of An Ning at home. I didn't dare to let the queen know, so I had to make excuses and search for it from house to house."
"Oh, you can't say that, you're going to die."
The woman knew she had said something serious, so she hurriedly covered her mouth, "I didn't say anything."
The women who were still chattering around were scared away by these words.
Who is An Ninghou? It is the second emperor of the Qi State in the legend. If what they said accidentally reaches his ears, then they will definitely be punished by the nine clans.
Ye Zhen walked into the crowd thoughtfully.
It seemed like she had guessed that Zhao Ning might have left the Cheng family. Cheng Zheng had someone guard the city gate, in fact to prevent Zhao Ning from leaving the city.
The current state of Qi is almost under the control of Cheng Zheng, who else would risk such a big risk to save Zhao Ning
Ye Zhen thought about it, and several suspects appeared in her mind, but she always felt that it was impossible.
She wanted to find out more, but the market had come to an end, so she had to go back first.
Ye Zhen's mind was full of thoughts about what the woman said just now, and she didn't know how much of what she said was true or false. If Cheng Zheng was really looking for someone, then it must be Zhao Ning who found it. Now she has to find a way to confirm this matter. true or false.
boom-
Suddenly, she bumped into a wall of meat, Ye Zhen recovered immediately, lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry."
The man was hit by her and dropped something in his hand. Ye Zhen hurriedly picked it up for him. There were several packets of medicinal materials, one of which had been scattered, "I... I will pay you for the medicine."
"No need." The man said lightly, picked up the other two packs of medicine, and got into the carriage next to him without even looking at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at the person who had already driven away, it was actually Song Hongao, how could he come to buy the anti-fetal medicine in person
She took the medicine scattered on the ground in her hand, smelled it, and it turned out to be an anti-fetal medicine.
Back in the courtyard, Ye Zhen told Mo Rongzhan about it.
"Did Song Hongao hide Zhao Ning? Otherwise, why would he buy anti-fetal medicine?" Ye Zhen took Mo Rongzhan's hand, "Ah Zhan, why don't we go to Song's house to have a look."
"Song Hongao went to buy anti-fetal drugs, so he didn't necessarily hide Zhao Ning, even if Zhao Ning was hidden by him, he would not keep her in the Song family." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice, "Let Xue Lin and the others go and check. "
Ye Zhen then told Mo Rongzhan the gossip she had inquired about, "... I don't know if Zhao Rao already knew about this. At the beginning, I thought she had some sort of sisterly affection for Zhao Ning. If she doesn't even have sisterly affection now Regardless, that would be too chilling.”
Mo Rongzhan's complexion was pale, men and women were different, if Zhao Rao hadn't had Cheng Zheng behind him, maybe he wouldn't have thought of becoming the current empress at all, now Qi State's policies are strict, and Cheng Zheng insists on implementing them. Rou Yigang, this may be a good thing for Qi, but it is definitely not a good thing for other countries.
"Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng...will be suspicious of each other because of something?" Murong Zhan asked in a low voice.
"The trust between a woman and a man is more about love. If the relationship between them is always deep, I think it will be very difficult for Zhao Rao to doubt Cheng Zheng." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan tapped his fingers on the table lightly, wondering what he was thinking.
