These words were like a thunder, exploding suddenly!
Everyone in the hall was shocked.
Even Rong Jiu frowned slightly.
Emperor Jiawen asked in a deep voice:
"Are you telling the truth? Situ Xingchen really said that?"
The queen nodded repeatedly:
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Situ Xingchen!"
Chu Ning suddenly said:
"Queen, I wonder where you heard this?"
"Of course Situ Xingchen said it himself!"
At this point, the queen couldn't care less and had to confess that there had been news exchanges between herself and Rong Jin.
This matter was what Situ Xingchen told Rong Jin, and Rong Jin told her.
"I know that this is wrong, but Rong Jin does it for Rong Zhen too! Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jiawen felt a headache.
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated. Everyone has different opinions, and what they say is very different from each other.
Someone must be lying, but now he couldn't tell immediately.
Seeing Emperor Jiawen's expression wavering for a moment, the queen immediately said:
"Your Majesty, Situ Xingchen already knows about Rong Zhen's disappearance. He plans to come back with Rong Jin this time to help find Rong Zhen. How about waiting for them all to come back and then confront them face to face?"
Emperor Jiawen somewhat disagreed:
"Chu Liuyue is going to Taiyan Academy for a month, and it's only been a third of the time. If we really have to wait for her, Rong Zhen—"
"Your Majesty, Yue'er will be back soon. She said before that she would only go for ten days," Chu Ning said.
These words surprised several others.
Such a rare opportunity, Chu Liuyue only stayed for ten days
Emperor Jiawen was silent for a moment and finally made his decision:
"In that case, let's wait until they all come back and then inquire together!"
The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief, her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground.
With Situ Xingchen’s testimony, Chu Liuyue will definitely not be able to escape this time!
When the time comes, she will have to shed her skin even if she doesn't die!
"Father, Holy Ming. In this way, Rong Zhen will be found as soon as possible, and Lord Chu Ning will not be wronged in vain. Lord Chu Ning has always been loyal to you. If this time, due to some misunderstanding, Lord Chu Ning's feelings are hurt, My heart is not good."
Rong Jiu said with cupped fists.
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
Everyone knows that this so-called "misunderstanding" was caused by the Queen.
Emperor Jiawen's eyes became much gloomier again.
"You all go down first. The queen stays."
After walking out of the hall, Chu Ning solemnly thanked Rong Jiu:
"Thank you, Third Prince, for your help this time."
Otherwise, he might actually be imprisoned.
Rong Jiu had a pale look on her face:
"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Chu Ning. I'm helping you, but I'm actually just trying to help myself."
Chu Ning was stunned, but she didn't expect Rong Jiu to be so honest.
Of course he could guess Rong Jiu's purpose of coming here today.
From the beginning to the end, Rong Jiu targeted only one person—the queen.
Especially what he said just before leaving the hall directly pushed the queen.
The reason why Rong Jiu did this was probably because his biological mother, Ying Guiren, was killed by the queen in the first place.
Although there is no conclusion on this matter and there is no evidence, Chu Ning was in the limelight at that time and was highly regarded by Emperor Jiawen, so he knew something about it.
Looking at Rong Jiu like this, it was obvious that he was well prepared.
"No matter what, I have to thank the Third Prince. I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."
Rong Jiu didn't seem to care.
The two briefly chatted for a few more words and then separated.
Chu Ning hesitated for a moment, but decided to go back to his residence first.
Previously, Lu Yun and so many people turned the house into a mess. He had to go back and clean it up quickly. If Yue'er saw it, he would definitely be very worried.
Chu Liuyue did not go back with Rong Jin and others in the end.
She dissuaded Rong Jin from trying to stop her with just one sentence.
"I have made an appointment with Vice General Mu to go back. Whoever delays will be responsible."
Rong Jin had just made an engagement with Situ Xingchen. It was the time when he was proud of the spring breeze. He wanted to show off the power of the prince in front of Chu Liuyue. Unfortunately, he was not completely carried away yet. He knew who could afford to offend and who to offend. I couldn't afford it, so I had to give way to Chu Liuyue with great frustration.
As for Situ Xingchen, he didn't say a few words from beginning to end. He stayed out of the matter, as if he had forgotten that Rong Jin came to trouble Chu Liuyue after hearing what she said.
Chu Liuyue returned to the imperial capital quickly and smoothly.
Just after returning home, before Chu Liuyue had time to knock on the door, someone had already opened the door from the inside.
The person standing inside the door was Chu Ning.
When Chu Liuyue saw him, she was both happy and surprised:
"Dad, why are you at home?"
Today is not a day for rest.
Chu Ning looked her over first, making sure that she was intact and everything was fine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that Yue'er is back safely. Daddy has something to ask you."
The father and daughter returned to the house together.
Chu Ning told Chu Liuyue exactly what happened before.
"Yue'er, is the disappearance of the fourth princess related to you?" Chu Ning asked with some uncertainty.
Chu Liuyue laughed, her eyebrows curved:
"Didn't dad say it in front of His Majesty? You said you believed Yue'er didn't do it. Since you said that, then naturally these things have nothing to do with Yue'er."
Chu Ning was relieved.
"That's good, that's good. I heard from the queen before that Situ Xingchen once saw you and Rong Zhen together, and dad was still a little worried."
What kind of identity Situ Xingchen has, his words are very weighty.
He believed in his daughter, but the development of things seemed to be somewhat out of control.
Chu Liuyue smiled disapprovingly:
"I know about this. Before he came back, Rong Jin heard what Situ Xingchen said and said he wanted me to be responsible for Rong Zhen's disappearance."
Chu Ning frowned: "Situ Xingchen has no enmity with us, why do you say this in such a big way?"
Chu Liuyue's eyes flashed slightly:
"Maybe she saw it wrong."
Chu Ning felt a little unconvinced.
Who is Situ Xingchen? She doesn't know what impact these words will have.
This will most likely harm Yue'er!
If she was really wrong, she shouldn't make such a big statement without being sure.
This really doesn't fit in with Situ Xingchen's rumored image.
"This Situ Xingchen is a bit strange." Chu Ning murmured.
Chu Liuyue didn't want him to worry, so she patted his arm and said with a smile:
"Dad, don't worry, Yue'er has her own sense of proportion and will never let anyone bully her!"
The worry in Chu Ning's heart did not completely dissipate.
"But. His Majesty said that when you all come back, he wants you to confront him. So what?"
If Situ Xingchen is bitten to death by then, it will be Yue'er who did it.
The corners of Chu Liuyue's lips curled up slightly.
"my pleasure."
I felt hungry while writing this, so I ran to wolf down a bowl of noodles.
Coding is such a physical job!
