Naturally, Xiao Ting would not stop them when they came to visit openly and aboveboard, and asked Steward Mu to preside over this matter, and anyone who came would not be rejected.
Naturally, some people made troubles, but in the end, they were either repaired by Xiao Ting, or taken care of by Ah Da Ah Er.
After waiting for five full days, Xiao Ting did not find the person she wanted to see. The Ninth Prince seemed to have disappeared out of nowhere. He disappeared without a trace from under everyone's noses. No one had any news about him.
This is obviously very abnormal, not to mention the Ninth Prince is such a living person, and now everyone in the world is staring at him, how could there be no news about him? Unless he had already left the imperial city.
The boss came to report that there was news about Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Ting waved the dust off her body and went directly to Xiao's mansion.
Her cheap father is really here, dressed in travel and dust, and is still being dragged by the eldest lady to ask questions, already very impatient, with a tired and troubled look on his face.
"Daddy!"
When Xiao Ting was born, Xiao Zhan looked up with surprise on his face.
Hastily waved to let the eldest lady go down first.
Although the eldest lady could not understand Xiao Ting's arrogant appearance, she did not dare to refute her husband's words casually, so she could only give Xiao Ting a look, and then walked out in a graceful manner.
Xiao Ting snorted lightly and said, "Father, you don't even plan to save face now, I'm very rude to your daughter!"
"She dares."
Xiao Zhan stared at the big eyes of the copper bell, and hurriedly stepped forward and warmly pulled Xiao Ting over to sit.
"What's the matter with my good daughter looking for her father?"
Xiao Ting looked at him quietly, shaking her head again and again.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Xiao Zhan touched his face and asked with some doubts.
"No, I'm just looking, how many faces does my father have?"
For Xiao Ting's straightforward question, Xiao Zhan just smiled embarrassingly and didn't explain much.
"Okay, I'm not blaming daddy, I came this time to ask daddy, do you know the whereabouts of the prince?"
Xiao Ting asked straight to the point. In the entire imperial city, Xiao Ting didn't know who to ask. What happened last time reminded her that there might be some kind of connection between her father and the Ninth Prince.
So she came to try her luck, but Xiao Zhan hadn't seen anyone in the past few days, and she had nowhere to look for him.
Xiao Zhan shook his head, and said with some trepidation.
"I just heard about this too. Is the prince really a yin-yang physique?"
Xiao Ting rolled her eyes at his cheap father.
"Of course it's true, don't you think I'm a fake spiritualist!"
"So you knew about this a long time ago?"
Xiao Zhanteng stood up suddenly.
"Then you're still with him?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ting didn't even bother to roll her eyes at her father.
"My dear father, this marriage was bestowed by my aunt and the emperor. You were very satisfied at the beginning, but now it's my fault. It's really unreasonable!"
Xiao Ting felt helpless.
Why does everyone seem to have decided that the Ninth Prince will overturn the world and kill them, so they can't avoid him.
"Besides, he is just one person, so what if he has that kind of physique, it will always be people themselves, not anyone else, who will destroy the world!"
Well, Xiao Ting thinks that she should stop talking nonsense, after all, it is really difficult to explain such things with her cultural level.
People's thinking is almost unchanged.
Especially when they identify one thing, it is almost impossible to change it.
"It's different, even if, even if Dad believes in you, will the world believe in you?"
"Does the world believe me? What does it matter to me?"
"..." Xiao Zhan shut up directly, how could he forget his good daughter's temperament, how could he care about other people's opinions.
"Since you don't have the whereabouts of the prince, I'll go first!"
Xiao Ting didn't want to stay and talk about these things with her father, she had already made a decision in her heart, and she had already made a choice, she had nothing to say, let alone discuss it with anyone.
"No, don't go, just listen to what Dad said."
Xiao Zhan quickly stopped her.
"Okay, you say."
"What does the emperor mean?"
Xiao Ting blinked, she didn't seem to pay much attention to this.
"I don't know, and no one came to tell me!"
The meaning of the emperor is generally imperial decree.
Xiao Ting thought about it, and no one came to deliver imperial edicts or oral instructions in recent days.
For the first time in his life, Xiao Zhan was almost vomiting blood by his good daughter!
"In this way, when you go back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Dad will go to the palace to find out the news first, and then I will go to you later, and then we will discuss the next thing, okay?"
Ever since he found out about this, Xiao Zhan has been worried that the other four countries will be easy to deal with. As long as the empire protects the Ninth Prince, at least secretly, it is also a kind of protection. At that time, they may still survive if they think of a way, but if even the emperor does not protect the Ninth Prince, they will undoubtedly die.
He was afraid that Xiao Ting would do something stupid. After all, the girl in his family was not afraid of anything. She dared to break into any disaster and do anything without thinking about the consequences.
Don't let things go back and forth when the time comes.
Now Xiao Ting agreed immediately, but in fact she didn't know what to do next.
People in the world want the prince's life, so she can't kill people in the world, can she
In the palace, the Empress Dowager, who had been sick and kept in the harem, welcomed a distinguished guest in front of the palace today.
When the King of Yan arrived, the two of them left the land of Yan together, but they had some affection for each other. They came here to pay their respects, but no one could say anything.
The empress dowager retreated from the left and right, and there were only two old nuns waiting on the spot.
"Yan Wang is so elegant, why did he think of visiting this palace today?"
"I heard that the empress dowager is not feeling well. I should have come here long ago. It's because there are too many mundane affairs recently, and I can't get away for a while!"
King Yan took it easy.
"Do you think Ben Gong will believe it?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes turned slightly, with a hint of sternness, and King Yan laughed dumbfoundedly.
"Okay, I won't go around in circles with you anymore, Chu Li didn't find it!"
The Empress Dowager was not surprised by this answer.
"Xiao Jiu has been clever and steady since he was a child. If he tries to hide ten of them, you won't be able to find them."
King Yan was not angry, raised his eyes and glanced at the Empress Dowager, and then asked.
"Is that why you chose him in the first place?"
Bringing up the past, the Empress Dowager lost a smile on her face.
"Don't remind me back then, if it wasn't for your stupid sister doing something stupid, would I still need to work so hard now?"
"My sister is dead, can't you save some morals?"
King Yan suddenly said something serious, the Empress Dowager was a little surprised, and stared at him for a while.
"You are blaming me, don't you forget that you sent your sister to the empire?"
"Yes, I sent it here by myself. Isn't that to help you? But what did you do to her?"
King Yan's younger sister is the birth mother of the Ninth Prince, the Imperial Concubine Yan!
"What can I do to her? She begged me, and I was helping her. Don't forget!"
King Yan's chest heaved up and down, obviously very angry, but unable to refute.
"This matter is over, don't mention it again!"
"Okay, it's all up to you!" The empress dowager's speed of changing her face was extremely fast.
She personally refilled a cup of tea for King Yan, and handed it over, her eyes glistened with tenderness, without the gesture of flying to the world just now.
"What should we do next?"
Things have come to this point, even if he doesn't want to, he can only bite the bullet and go down, there is no reason to turn back.
What's more, the road is blocked and there is no way to retreat.
"We must find him first. If he and Emperor Renxiao do not agree with each other, this matter cannot proceed!"
"The relationship between the two brothers cannot be broken up by ordinary people. You have done so much but it has no effect. Why don't you stop?"
What the Nine Princes valued most in this world, and what he cared most about was his elder brother, Emperor Renxiao.
It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why he lives is also for him.
As for Emperor Ren Xiao, he handed over all his secret guards and intelligence organizations to the Ninth Prince, which shows his trust in him.
"How do you know it doesn't work?"
The empress dowager obviously disagreed with him.
"Have you ever heard a sentence? The embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed by an ant's nest. Trust is also based on his own known answers."
"But this time you tried every means to let him know about the Ninth Prince's physique. Emperor Renxiao has not expressed his opinion so far. Doesn't that explain the problem?"
King Yan was a little puzzled, the Empress Dowager was so persistent that he couldn't imagine it.
"If you don't believe me, let's go and see!"
"I don't care what other plans you have, but I can't find Chu Li!"
King Yan was very irritable. Although he brought a lot of people from Yan Kingdom, it was nothing compared to the huge human base of the empire. Finding a single person was more difficult than going to heaven.
"You don't have to look for it, I know where he is!"
Looking at the empress dowager's confident expression, King Yan didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment.
"You built this place in the first place!"
"What? He went there!" King Yan stood up abruptly, and walked away without even saying goodbye.
"Your Majesty, why did you tell King Yan?"
It was her personal nurse who was asking the question. After hearing the words, the Empress Dowager took a sip of the tea in the jade cup, then slowly raised her head, looked at the direction where King Yan was leaving, and said slowly, "Because he is stupid!"
Obviously the tone is so gentle and amiable.
But the meaning in the words is so sad.
The personal nurse was also taken aback for a moment, and then went about her business as if nothing had happened.
Let's say that when Xiao Ting returned to the Nine Princes' Mansion, she saw a large crowd of people surrounding the gate of the Palace, blocking the road.
They said a lot of righteous words, but the general meaning was to let the Ninth Concubine hand over the Ninth Prince, if not, the Ninth Prince's Mansion would be demolished today.
The people who came had a reckless air, and they seemed to be all from the rivers and lakes, and none of them represented the five kingdoms and ten places.
However, who doesn't understand the current situation at the moment.
Xiao Ting only glanced at it, and walked in through the side door.
Butler Mu rushed up to greet her, and asked her if she had found the prince, Xiao Ting naturally shook her head.
"What's going on with those people outside?"
