Chapter 752

Everyone's eyes looked over at Chu Shao Yang. Their eyes were filled with confusion, anger, condemnation, and disdain.

Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes darkened a bit and she asked in a soft voice, "Chained to the bed. Shao Yang, did you imprison Ning 'er? What did she do that you have to treat her like this? "

Mo Chuan's forehead couldn't help twitching. Although he already knew about this from Chen Ning's mouth, personally hearing Chu Shao Yang say it, he was still filled with rage that he almost couldn't suppress.

Chu Shao Yang raised his chin and calmly replied, "Royal grandmother, your grandson did not imprison Ning 'er, it was for her own good. After the competition that day, she fainted. Your grandson brought her back and found that she was heavily injured, with deep knife marks on her wrists. It was clear that she had lost a lot of blood, so your grandson invited a doctor to see her. The doctor said that she was very tired and her body was very weak, so she had to rest in bed. However, Ning 'er did not listen to the doctor and wanted to go to the palace for the banquet. Your grandson was helpless and could only use iron chains to lock her up, not allowing her to leave the bed. When your grandson entered the palace, the East Qin Crown Prince gave me a thousand year old snow ginseng. After returning, your grandson immediately sent people to make ginseng soup for Ning' er to drink, so I did not have time to untie her. At this time, there was a fire in your grandson's palace and your grandson rushed out to put out the fire. In less than half a cup of tea's time, when your grandson came back, Ning 'er had already disappeared and there were only two chains left. Royal grandmother, this grandson's words are all true, please royal grandmother understand! "

His words were clear and loud, flowing like the clouds and flowing water. It was obvious that he had already thought of this speech before he came.

He was not just saying this for Empress Dowager Zhou, he was saying it for all the ministers present to hear. Otherwise if everyone forced him to hand her over, how could he hand her over?

When Empress Dowager Zhou and the ministers heard this, they were filled with doubt, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"So it's like this. Then you're saying that someone really snuck into your palace and kidnapped Ning 'er?" Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Mo Chuan from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that her son's expression did not change, she had an idea in her heart.

No wonder Chu Shao Yang complained to her. Even if this matter was not ordered by the emperor, the emperor would still know where Ning 'er was, otherwise how could he be this calm!

Chu Shao Yang forcefully nodded, "Yes, royal grandmother, grandson would not dare lie to you. Not to mention that the competition with East Qin is about to begin and I haven't been able to find Ning 'er, grandson is just as worried as everyone else. Grandson is worried about Ning' er's safety and grandson is worried about my West Chu, but the emperor does not believe grandson's words. Even if grandson is muddle-headed, I would not do something that would lose my country!"

Empress Dowager Zhou gave a slight nod and said to Mo Chuan, "Emperor, Shao Yang's words aren't false. Quickly send someone to find the princess. If the princess doesn't appear by the time it's time, wouldn't East Qin laugh at my West Chu for not keeping their word!"

Mo Shao Chen's words.

He softly looked at Chu Shao Yang. Although he was angry at the despicable things he did to Chen Ning, his words just now were watertight, completely washing himself away. He was a very smart person.

"Xiao Si, send the order. All the royal guards will search for the princess' whereabouts, they must find the princess before noon!" He gave the order.
