"No way! You're lying!"
The queen finally couldn't hold it back and screamed!
She pointed at Rong Jiu with trembling hands. Her face, which was originally well-maintained, became distorted because of anger and panic.
"Zhenzhen is missing!"
She has lost contact with Rong Zhen for many days. If Rong Zhen is really in Qijiao Alley, how could she not know!
Before, she had asked the Si family to help secretly search the entire imperial capital, but there had been no news.
After the incident was exposed, Emperor Jiawen also sent people to search everywhere, but there was still no clue.
She almost suspected that Rong Zhen had been taken out of the imperial capital!
As a result, Rong Jiu suddenly jumped out and said that Rong Zhen was in Qijiao Alley, which was absolutely crazy!
Rong Jiu looked at her finger that almost poked his face, saw the gorgeous and sharp armor on it, and twitched the corner of his mouth without a smile.
"Why is the Queen so excited? Is it true or false? Just send someone to search it and the truth will be revealed, right? Anyway, Seven Corners Alley is in the Imperial Capital. It won't waste too much time if you send someone to search it."
"no!"
The Queen objected almost reflexively!
However, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Behind him, Emperor Jiawen’s voice was cold:
"I think this is a good idea. Since Rong Jiu said Rong Zhen is there, then just go there and look for someone. If you find him, it proves that Rong Jiu is telling the truth. If you don't find him, Rong Jiu, what can you do? Do you know what the consequences will be?"
Rong Jiu looked indifferent:
"I know. If Rong Zhen is not in Qijiao Alley, I would like to never leave the imperial capital again!"
Emperor Jiawen was shocked. He didn't expect Rong Jiu to make such a request.
In fact, during this time, he has been thinking about how to arrange Rong Jiu.
Let him return to the Northwest Army? impossible.
That is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.
Let him stay in the imperial capital? Not appropriate either.
Rong Jiu had great military exploits, and now that he was in his prime, it would be too conspicuous to rashly step down from his military post.
In fact, before this, Emperor Jiawen had received many memorials, requesting that Rong Jiu be allowed to return to the Northwest Army to lead troops.
But he was full of worries and put the matter on hold.
However, this time, it was Rong Jiu himself who proposed that as long as Rong Zhen was not found in Qijiao Alley, he would stay in the imperial capital forever!
On the one hand, Emperor Jiawen wanted to find Rong Zhen, and on the other hand, he also hoped to take this opportunity to let Rong Jiu stay.
In every way, it was good for him.
Therefore, he agreed to the proposal without any hesitation.
"I will go in person! Eunuch Min, prepare immediately!"
The queen's legs went limp and she almost fell to her knees.
"Your Majesty! You must not!"
Everyone could see how guilty the queen was at this time, and Emperor Jiawen was no exception.
The more this happens, the more he has to go!
"Queen, I'm just looking for Rong Zhen. What's your intention of obstructing me in every possible way? Do you not want me to find Rong Zhen, or are there other reasons?"
Emperor Jiawen's voice was not loud, but his aura was majestic. Every word was like a sharp blade, piercing the queen's heart fiercely.
She wanted to stop Emperor Jiawen from going forward, but in this situation, no matter what she said, it seemed that she would look very pale and guilty.
Rong Jin finally came to his senses and stepped forward to support the queen.
"Mother! Why are you doing this? Isn't it just an alley? My father is going to go, why do you need to stop him?"
There is absolutely no benefit in going against your father like this!
The queen glanced weakly at Rong Jin, and tears fell again.
What does he know
Chu Liuyue suddenly stood up and said softly:
"Your Majesty, I will go with you."
The queen suddenly raised her head and looked at Chu Liuyue in surprise.
"Chu Liuyue! Why are you here to join in the fun again!"
Chu Liuyue smiled:
"Queen, how can I just join in the fun? If I can't find the fourth princess, I won't be able to wash away my grievances. In my heart, like your majesty and you, I hope to find the fourth princess as soon as possible. Didn't you do all kinds of things to the fourth princess before? Are you worried? Why is it that now that His Highness the Third Prince said that he saw the Fourth Princess going to Seven Corners Alley, you are unwilling to go?"
The queen was speechless and felt so depressed that she wanted to go forward and tear Chu Liuyue's mouth open!
And Rong Jiu!
Emperor Jiawen glanced at the queen coldly:
"Queen, if you want to go, you can go together. If you don't want to, just stay in the palace!"
Anyway, things will come to light soon!
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and strode towards the outside of the hall!
Chu Liuyue and Chu Ning quickly followed.
Even Rong Jiu, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up.
He looked at the desperate queen and said calmly:
"Queen, it seems that your condition is not very good, but I advise you to go together. The fourth princess is very lonely outside the palace. If she can see you, she will definitely be very happy."
Rong Jin said angrily:
"roll!"
Rong Jiu didn't care about his insults, straightened her clothes, turned around and planned to leave.
As soon as he took a step, he stopped again and looked back.
"Brother Emperor, you must take good care of the Queen. After all, such an opportunity may not be available in the future."
Rong Jin was extremely angry, stood up and punched Rong Jiu:
"you wanna die!"
Rong Jiu dodged easily, and at the same time quickly reached out a hand and clamped Rong Jin's wrist directly!
Rong Jin suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from him!
Rong Jiu's hands were like steel!
Moreover, his realm and strength seem to be no weaker than mine!
A faint killing intent spread from Rong Jiu's body!
A man who has been on the battlefield and whose moves are deadly, how could Rong Jin be his opponent
It wasn't until Rong Jin's face started to turn pale that Rong Jiu finally let go of his hand, gave him a warning look, and turned to leave.
Rong Jin was almost furious, but he didn't dare to speak.
The queen was already struggling to get up.
She has to go!
She must go!
Seeing this, Rong Jin immediately stepped forward to support her, and at the same time looked at Situ Xingchen aside.
"Xingchen, what are you doing standing still? Come and help the queen!"
He had never seen his mother in such a state of despair.
Situ Xingchen had already realized that something was not right from the beginning.
Hearing Rong Jin's words at this time, he felt even more disgusted.
Was there any mistake
He didn't even look at the dirty and embarrassed look of the Queen! How could she help!
"Stars?"
Seeing that Situ Xingchen didn't respond for a long time, Rong Jin thought that she didn't hear clearly, so he shouted again.
Situ Xingchen suppressed the nausea in his heart, walked forward, covered his hands with his sleeves calmly, and supported the queen with his arms.
It seemed as if he was afraid of catching some disease if he met the queen.
Rong Jin didn't see her movements, he just wanted to catch up with his father in front of him.
Chu Liuyue was not far behind Emperor Jiawen and was thinking about something when she suddenly heard a movement. She turned around and saw Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen rushing towards the queen together, supporting the queen.
The corners of her lips curved, and she smiled brightly:
"By the way, I haven't congratulated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Princess Situ on their engagement yet! Here, I wish you both a harmonious harp and a long life together!"
