Words:1829Update:22/08/30 14:45:10
Two unadorned carriages were stopped outside the city gates.
Ge Kuan had been by Ye Chunnan's side for many years, so he had a good eye for things. He could tell that these two carriages were not ordinary, so he personally went over to ask. In the first carriage, other than a half-grown child, there were two young men with white faces and clean beards. He was usually in contact with strong soldiers, so he could tell at a glance that these two were not ordinary servants, but eunuchs.
Who was this child? Ge Kuan glanced at the child and was about to ask someone to check the second carriage when he saw a tall man getting out of the carriage.
"What's going on?" Cheng Zheng's long and narrow eyes glanced at Ge Kuan coldly. Were there so many soldiers guarding outside the city gate of the Jin Kingdom every day?
Cheng Zheng had fought on the battlefield for many years, so his aura was cold and murderous. When he got out of the carriage, everyone was subconsciously stunned by him.
"Cheng … General Cheng?" Ge Kuan looked at him in shock, "Why are you here?"
When Qi State and Jin State joined forces to fight against Wan Ziliang, as Ye Chunnan's deputy, Ge Kuan had naturally seen the commander of the other side. Wasn't it this person in front of him?
Cheng Zheng glanced at Ge Kuan and recognised him as Ye Chunnan's deputy general. He said indifferently, "This marquis has escorted the First Princess and Third Prince of the Kingdom of Qi to visit Princess Ning. Deputy General Ge, is there a problem?"
"No, no problem." Ge Kuan had seen General Cheng's decisiveness on the battlefield, so his respect for him was second only to his own General and the Emperor. "Come, send General Cheng to Prince Yi's Mansion."
The Empress wanted him to investigate the people who came out of the city. General Cheng and the others had just arrived in the capital, so there should be no problem. However, after Ge Kuan watched the two carriages gradually disappear into the distance, he immediately sent someone to the palace to inform the Empress of this matter.
In the carriage, Zhao Rao looked puzzled, "What happened? Why do I feel that the whole capital is full of soldiers? "
Cheng Zheng's face was solemn. He had been to the capital before and knew that this place was not so paranoid. Something must have happened.
"Something must have happened. Wait until the Prince's Mansion." Cheng Zheng said in a low voice.
"Then tell Third Brother to be careful." Zhao Rao said.
Cheng Zheng glanced at her. "You're getting more and more interested in him."
Zhao Rao grew up in the palace. Other than the Second Princess, Zhao Xiang, she didn't have much of a sibling relationship with the other princesses and princes. Instead, it was Zhao Ning and the Third Prince that she seemed to care for them like an older sister.
"He is my third brother. What's wrong with me caring about him?" Zhao Rao said indifferently. Along the way, that child liked to stick to her. The disgust and alienation from her at the beginning were long gone. She also hoped that the poor Third Prince could be well.
Cheng Zheng glanced at her. "Why aren't you interested in me?"
Zhao Rao's cheeks were burning red as she glared at him. How was she not interested in him anymore? If she didn't care, would she have sat in the same car with him all the way?
"Say something!" Cheng Zheng whispered into Zhao Rao's ear.
Zhao Kuang harrumphed, "What are you talking about? Of course a niece cares about her uncle."
Cheng Zheng couldn't bear to hear her call him uncle. He pinched her waist. "Say that again?"
On the way to the Jin Kingdom, they had been together day and night. He didn't know how hard it was for him to endure not to take the last step. They had done what they had to do. However, he cherished her and wanted to have her on the night of their marriage. If she provoked him again, he would eat her up first.
"You are an elder, so how can you be jealous of Third Brother? Aren't you ashamed? My concern for Third Brother … … is it the same as liking you?" Zhao Rao hid in his embrace, her small hand gently scratching his neck.
These words made Cheng Zheng's heart instantly filled with sweetness. "I'm afraid the capital will not be peaceful these few days. When you see Princess Ning, ask her what's going on."
Cheng Zheng knew that Zhao Yong had an informant in the capital. Before they came, Zhao Yong had already told him how to contact him. He would ask that person when night fell.
Zhao Rao sat in the carriage and felt the abnormality outside. She didn't know what was going on.
Their carriage soon arrived at Prince Yi's Mansion.
After they reported their identity, they were told that Princess Yi and Prince Yi were not in the mansion and had entered the palace an hour ago.
Entered the palace?
Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng looked at each other. Why did they enter the palace today?
Although Prince Yi and Princess Yi were not there, as servants, they didn't dare to neglect the princess and prince of Qi. They immediately went to ask for the chief.
"You said that Princess Yi and Third Prince of Qi are outside?" Lu Lingzhi was still making arrangements to close the door to guests when he heard the servant reporting. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Rao came quite quickly.
He personally came to the door of the mansion. "Greetings to Princess Yi and Third Prince …" Lu Lingzhi looked up at Marquis Anning. "Marquis Anning, I'm sorry for neglecting you. Please come in."
"Since Princess Ning is not here, we won't disturb you." Cheng Zheng looked at the chief. Who knew what was happening in the capital now? It was better for him to avoid it.
"Her Majesty suddenly sent someone to invite Prince Yi and Princess Yi to the palace. They should be back soon." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile. He knew what was happening in the palace and understood how powerful Cheng Zheng was. Instead of letting him live outside, it was better to stay in the mansion. At least, he was still under Lu Lingzhi's eyes.
Zhao Rao wanted to see Zhao Ning as soon as possible. If they lived outside, it would be more troublesome. She looked at Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng looked at Lu Lingzhi. "Okay."
"Please." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile. He quickly arranged a guest room. He played the role of the chief of the mansion flawlessly. Zhao Rao was arranged to stay in the guest room in the backyard. Cheng Zheng was an outsider, so he was naturally in the front yard.
Originally, Lu Lingzhi wanted to accompany Cheng Zheng and be polite, but Cheng Zheng sent him away.
Lu Lingzhi returned to his room and looked coldly in the direction of the palace.
"Master." Luo Cheng walked in and whispered in his ear. "That female doctor is dead. The people in the palace can't find anything."
"What about Tang Zhen?" Lu Lingzhi asked faintly. When he mentioned Tang Zhen, his eyes were still cold. It was as if the person in the palace who was unknown whether he was alive or dead was not a brother who had fought side by side with him.
Luo Cheng didn't even dare to lift his eyelids. "He has already taken the medicine. His heart is broken. However, Lu Yaoyao was by his side at that time. It seems that he was saved …"
Lu Lingzhi's eyes narrowed. He didn't want to kill Tang Zhen, but if he was alive, Lu Yaoyao would know him sooner or later.
"Don't let him wake up." Lu Lingzhi said.
"Now there are soldiers everywhere in the city. Will they … find something?" Luo Cheng asked worriedly.
Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly. "We don't do anything. What can they find?"
That's true!
