Princess Ning had a happy look on her face. Thinking back on the events of the past few days, she still vaguely felt that something was not reasonable.
"How did Miss Shen know that the Du family had gold mines? I have never heard the prince say this."
Shen Jiao's eyes darkened and she replied in a low voice: "You don't care much about the affairs in the house. There are still many things you don't know."
Princess Ning wanted to say something else, but Shen Jiao's hand knife came down and landed on Princess Ning's neck, causing her to faint.
"Hey, even you can detect the problem, and Mrs. Fu Hou must also be able to guess it. Sorry, originally the matter was settled here, but who made that person aware of it."
As soon as Shen Jiao helped Princess Ning to lean against her, there were three knocks on the door.
"Come in."
There was a sound of falling, and a burly man came in carrying a sack. In his free hand, he also held another sack.
He glanced at Princess Ning, frowned slightly and said, "Her belly is so big, can she be covered with a sack?"
Shen Jiao looked back at Lei Qiniang. She didn't want to hurt innocent people, but she had no choice now.
"Go to the bed and get a quilt. Maybe you can save the child."
…
Wen Qingzhu rushed to Fengguo Temple, explained the situation, and directly asked people to lead the way to Princess Ning.
When they arrived at the guest house where they were resting, the monk Zhike knocked on the door and waited for a while, but there was no movement at all.
Immediately Wen Qingzhu's heart sank, something happened!
"Beidou!"
Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared and opened the door with his hands, frightening the leading monk Zhi Ke, whose face turned pale.
Wen Qingzhu walked quickly inside, but there was no one in the yard.
Several people quickly arrived at the door, opened the door and saw that there was still no one in the house.
At this moment, Beidou turned around and quickly walked to the side room next to him.
After a while, a maid and a nanny appeared.
Both of them were tied up, rags were stuffed in their mouths, and they were in a coma.
Wen Qingzhu immediately walked into the room, glanced over, and found a quilt burned on the bed.
She clenched her fists, and she was indeed plotted!
Wen Qingzhu immediately sent someone to inform Fu Lie and Jiang Yuanhan that Princess Ning and Du Weiniang had been arrested.
At the same time, he sent a message directly to Shuntian Prefecture and blocked the capital.
I just don’t know if it’s too late at this time.
When leaving Fengguo Temple, Wen Qingzhu glanced at the place where Huixin lived.
Was this incident within his expectation
On the way down the mountain, Wu Mian rushed over personally, taking Lu Lei and Lu Jiajun with him.
"Madam, two assassins were discovered in Chengming Palace. They took poison and died before being captured. No information can be found. Your Highness asked your servants to take you and Mr. Xiao Lu to chase Prince Ning!"
Wen Qingzhu nodded immediately and followed them to chase Prince Ning.
After walking for less than two hours, Wen Qingzhu rode on his horse and saw from a distance that King Ning's army was on its way back.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the two sides met.
Jiang Yuanan's face was extremely ugly. He sat on the horse and looked at Wen Qingzhu intently.
"Mrs. Fu, are you okay, mother-in-law?"
Wen Qingzhu did not reply directly, but got off his horse.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yuanan paused for a moment, but then he got off his horse and walked to Wen Qingzhu.
"Take a step to speak." Wen Qingzhu pointed to the river next to him.
Jiang Yuanan's face was very gloomy, but he did not refuse and followed her to the river.
Wen Qingzhu decided to tell the truth: "Princess Ning and Miss Du were arrested!"
"Ha." Jiang Yuanan sneered.
Before she could speak, Princess Ning's cry came from behind.
She had a big belly and her face was stained with tears. She was supported by two people who looked like peasant women and stumbled over here.
"I'm sorry! Your Majesty! It's all my fault! This is what hurt Wei Niang!"
Princess Ning stood in front of them and wanted to reach out to pull Jiang Yuanan, but Jiang Yuanan pushed her away impatiently.
The force was so strong that Princess Ning fell backwards.
Fortunately, the two peasant women were helpful, but they didn't look like they knew how to serve others. They were nervous and worried, and it was difficult and unstable to support Princess Ning.
Wen Qingzhu finally couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the two people around him: "Lu Tao Xi'er, you go take care of Princess Ning."
"Yes." Lu Tao and Xi'er walked over and took over the peasant woman's work.
Lei Yan and Wei Lin also came over from behind, and behind them were four bearers carrying a sedan that was not old but not new.
Wei Lin asked Lu Tao and the others to help Princess Ning onto the sedan chair. Lei Yan appointed a guard of a hundred people, turned around and spoke to Wen Qingzhu, and personally sent Princess Ning back.
"What's going on?" Wen Qingzhu asked Wei Lin instead of Jiang Yuanan.
Wei Lin looked at the direction Lei Yan and the others were leaving with a dull tone: "Not long after we marched, we encountered a flying arrow piercing the book. It said that if you want to save Miss Du and Princess Ning, you should go to Zheliu Pavilion immediately, and at the same time write a letter There were also two bunches of hair inside, and Prince Ning recognized that one bunch belonged to Miss Du."
"What happened later." Wen Qingzhu glanced at Jiang Yuanan. He looked at the river quietly, surrounded by a layer of murderous aura of death.
Wei Lin seemed to think of something hard to say and hesitated.
Judging from his expression and the fact that Princess Ning came back unharmed, Du Weiniang must have been in trouble.
"They used the princess and Wei Niang to threaten the princess. In order to save the princess, Wei Niang risked her life and was injured. Now she is staying at Zheliu Pavilion. I will go back now! I only hope that my wife can take good care of my mother and concubine. I should Whatever is done, I will do it!"
After Jiang Yuanan said these words, he stood up and left here.
Wen Qingzhu wanted to say something more, but Wei Lin helped explain: "Prince Ning doesn't believe in the prince, nor his wife. He wants to take Miss Du by himself. I have also persuaded him, but Prince Ning said he still needs Miss Du." Will I be caught again?"
"But if Wei Niang is injured, Valley Master Xue and I are both in the capital. It will be impossible for him to march with Miss Du!"
Wen Qingzhu looked up and saw Jiang Yuananying sitting back on the horse again.
When he turned the horse's head, his eyes were clearly full of distrust.
For some reason, Wen Qingzhu had a vague feeling in his heart.
She asked Lin again: "When we rescued Princess Ning and Du Weiniang, were you and Lei Yan also there?"
"No, when Lei Yan and I arrived, we only saw the fainted Princess Ning and Du Weiniang covered in blood. Prince Ning took the cloak and hugged Du Weiniang, and first rushed to the medical center in a nearby town. Later, Du Weiniang The girl was put on the carriage alone, and no one else was allowed to approach, including Lei Yan."
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"There won't be any captured doctors in the carriage, right?" Wen Qingzhu asked again.
Wei Lin nodded: "No, except for the old doctor and Prince Ning, no one has seen what condition Miss Du is in now. But later, Princess Ning woke up and begged in front of Prince Ning. Originally, Prince Ning wanted to kill her. On the one hand, Lei Yan stopped him from marrying the princess, and on the other hand, Du Weiniang in the carriage interceded, so Prince Ning calmed down."
"Then why did you come back halfway? Prince Ning doesn't trust us so much." Wen Qingzhu vaguely felt that this matter was a bit strange.
Thinking of this, Wei Lin couldn't help but rub his forehead: "Because Lei Yan and Prince Ning almost had a fight, Prince Ning agreed to return first. I didn't expect to meet you halfway, so I asked Lei Yan to send Princess Ning back first. , Prince Ning’s mood is not very stable now.”
"Madam, Prince Ning is leaving." Wu Mian reminded him from beside him.
Wen Qingzhu looked up and saw that Jiang Yuanan had finished arranging his troops and was ready to leave at any time.
Lu Lei has become much calmer and calmer after what happened before: "Do you want me to stop Prince Ning?"
Originally, Wen Qingzhu wanted to agree, but when she reached her lips, she refused again: "No, Prince Ning is a man who knows what's appropriate. I think Du Weiniang's injury can be controlled."
"Then let's go back now?" Lu Lei waited for her order.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "No, you march with Prince Ning and send news back at any time."
Lu Lei took the order, turned around and led his troops to follow King Ning's team.
"Let's go back and see Princess Ning first." Wen Qingzhu needed to think about this matter carefully.
After returning to the capital, it was just getting dark.
The capital, which had been relaxed for a few days, once again entered a state of emergency alert.
Wen Qingzhu rushed directly to Prince Ning's Mansion. When he arrived at the house, in addition to Lei Yan, Mrs. Lei San and Mrs. Lei Si were also there.
The fourth lady sat by the bed, hugging Princess Ning and crying.
Mrs. Lei San was holding Lei Yan and whispering something.
There was movement at the door. Madam Lei San saw Wen Qingzhu coming and immediately pulled Wen Qingzhu to sit down at the table.
"I'm really sorry. It's our Lei family's fault this time. Shen Jiao took advantage of this."
"Is it Shen Jiao?" Although Wen Qingzhu was basically certain in his heart, he was still shocked when he heard Mrs. Lei San say this.
Do people in the Shen family have such abilities
And how come you have never heard of this little Shen Jiao before
Mrs. Lei San took a look and said, "When Shen Jiao was in the Lei family, she actually met the fourth younger brother and sister who lived in seclusion. I felt something was wrong at the time, and then I beat her up, and she gradually stopped interacting with the fourth younger brother and sister. Do you remember the day before I went to find you?"
"Remember." Wen Qingzhu nodded. Presumably at that time, Mrs. Lei San wanted to talk about Shen Jiao.
At this point, Mrs. Lei San clapped her hands fiercely: "It's all my fault! I didn't tell you in time, and I didn't be more careful. Just now I asked the fourth brother and sister if Shen Jiao was able to escape from the Hou Mansion because of the Qiniang Gang. As a matter of fact, Shen Jiao got the map of Pingguohou Mansion earlier. She didn't expect that such a gentle girl could have such abilities. Just now Qiniang said that the last person she saw when she fainted was Shen Jiao. "
"Shen Jiao did not do these things alone." Wen Qingzhu's eyes became distant, and he was afraid that Jiang Yuancheng was still directing behind him.
After all, the only person who knows her so well is really Jiang Yuancheng.
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Jiao's surrender was too weird, Wen Qingzhu thought about it and had to take good care of her, and finally decided to send Shen Jiao to the Lei family.
To put it this way, Shen Jiao was not here for her in the first place.
"Auntie, don't blame yourself. I also fell into her trap. The problem now is not with Shen Jiao, but with Prince Ning."
Mrs. Lei San was not someone who knew nothing. She was startled and asked cautiously: "Will Prince Ning rebel?"
"Maybe, but not likely, unless—"
"Unless what?"
"Unless he has a reason to take action, judging from the current situation, Prince Ning has no reason to take action for the time being."
Wen Qingzhu's mind became heavy, and Lei Yan walked out at this time.
"Qingzhu, now that Qiniang is fine, I will follow Prince Ning."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lei San immediately exploded and slapped him on the body: "You little bastard! It's useless! You can't even protect the seventh sister! Then Du Weiniang is protected by Prince Ning! You kid is worried What!"
"But I haven't seen her, and I can't let go. I want to see her with my own eyes." Lei Yan looked guilty, why was he so useless.
However, Wen Qingzhu suddenly raised his head, stared into Lei Yan's eyes and asked, "What did you say? You didn't see Du Weiniang? Wei Lin just said that when you arrived, Prince Ning was holding Du Weiniang!"
"That's right, but the cloak covered Wei Niang's face, so I couldn't see clearly!" Lei Yan said anxiously.
