Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan had settled in the capital and found that there were officers and soldiers patrolling the capital almost every day, even going door to door to check the population. This phenomenon was really strange.
"Ah Zhan, those officers and soldiers seem to be looking for someone." Ye Zhen said to Mo Rongzhan after sending the officers and soldiers away and closing the door.
"What did they ask?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen said, "Where did they come from? What do they want to do? How many people are in the family? They asked in detail. It feels strange."
Mo Rongzhan took Ye Zhen's hand and walked into the house, his thumb gently rubbing the back of her hand. "Xue Lin and the others can't find any news about Zhao Ning. According to the current situation in the capital, Zhao Ning should not be in Cheng Zheng's hands."
"Then where will Zhao Ning be?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise. She actually had this suspicion, but Zhao Ning was pregnant with a child. It would not be easy for her to escape from Cheng Zheng's hands. "Could someone be helping Zhao Ning?"
"Maybe." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "Zhao Ning is the daughter of Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong's former officials may help her for the sake of blood relations."
Ye Zhen thought carefully about the people around Zhao Yong at that time. The one who impressed her the most was Song Honao.
"I heard that Song Honao resigned from his official post after Zhao Rao became the Empress. Now he is just a Marquis at home. Could it be that he helped Zhao Ning?" Ye Zhen whispered.
"I will go out and inquire tomorrow." Mo Rongzhan said.
Ye Zhen said, "Let me go and inquire. You know, some gossip is easier for women to inquire about."
"Are you sure?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows. Although his vision was still not clear, he still looked down at Ye Zhen.
"Very sure." Ye Zhen said with a smile, standing on tiptoe and kissing him.
Mo Rongzhan nodded gently. "Good."
Ye Zhen took his hand and went back to the house. They had just arrived in Qi for two days. In order to convince the officers and soldiers, she also took Mo Rongzhan to see a doctor. Although she felt that no doctor could cure Mo Rongzhan's eyes, she still had a little hope in her heart.
So, she still boiled medicine for Mo Rongzhan to drink. No matter how ugly his face was, she coaxed and threatened him to drink it.
The next day, Ye Zhen went out early. Early in the morning, there was a market in the East Street. Many people who came to buy vegetables and go to the market would chat there. The people who came to the market were servants of major mansions. Those old women liked to gossip outside. If they wanted to know the secrets of the imperial capital, as long as they stayed in the market for half a day, they would definitely know a lot.
If one wanted to know the secrets of the capital, as long as they stayed in the market for half a day, they would definitely learn a lot.
"Marquis Ning Jin. It turns out that the Ning Rong has been with her for a long time. "
Zhen said. "Rong to me. Ling.
"Yan Qing Qto Chen, to to to by to. In the past, the previous emperor wanted to marry another princess to Marquis Anning. "
"Qing to say that to to and to and," Ye, "Ye Ye and, and to to to Rto,
Ye Zhen listened silently for a while. Feeling that there was nothing to listen to, she turned and left.
"I have a nephew whose neighbor works as a servant in the Cheng Family. Do you know why the soldiers have been patrolling the city recently?"
. Ye Zhen, who had already taken a few steps, stopped and approached the man with a curious look.
"It's because someone from the Ning Rong's family is missing." The man lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard.
Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes. Who was missing from the Ning Rong's family?
"I heard that it was a concubine of the Ning Rong. He didn't dare to let the Empress know, so he found an excuse to go from house to house looking for her."
"Oh, you can't say that. You're going to die."
The woman knew what she had said. She hurriedly covered her mouth. "I didn't say anything."
The women who had been chattering away were scared away by these words.
Who was the Ning Rong? He was the legendary second emperor of the Qi Kingdom. If what they said accidentally reached his ears, then they would definitely have their families executed.
Ye Zhen walked into the crowd thoughtfully.
It seemed that, as she guessed, Zhao Ning may have left the Cheng family. Cheng Zheng had people guarding the city gate to prevent Zhao Ning from leaving the city.
Now that the Qi Kingdom was almost under Cheng Zheng's control, who else would take such a great risk to save Zhao Ning?
Ye Zhen thought about it. Several suspects emerged in her mind, but she felt that it was unlikely.
She wanted to inquire more, but the market was coming to an end. She had to go back first.
Ye Zhen's mind was full of the woman's words. She didn't know whether what she said was true or false. If Cheng Zheng was really looking for someone, then he must have found Zhao Ning. She must now find a way to determine the truth of this matter.
Bang!
Suddenly, she bumped into a wall of flesh. Ye Zhen immediately recovered, bowed her head and apologized. "I'm sorry."
The man dropped the thing in his hand. Ye Zhen hurriedly picked it up for him. It was a few packets of medicinal herbs, one of which had already fallen apart. "I … I'll compensate you for the medicine."
"No need." The man said faintly and picked up the other two packets of medicine. Without even looking at Ye Zhen, he got into the carriage next to him.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the man who had already driven away. It was Song Hongao! Why did he come to buy the medicine in person?
She took the medicine scattered on the ground in her hand and sniffed it. Sure enough, it was the medicine for the miscarriage.
Returning to the courtyard, Ye Zhen told Mo Rongzhan about the matter.
"Could it be that Song Honao hid Zhao Ning? Otherwise, how could he buy the medicine? "Ye Zhen took Mo Rongzhan's hand." Ah Zhan, why don't we go to the Song Family and have a look? "
"Song Hongao might not have hidden Zhao Ning when he went to buy the medicine. Even if Zhao Ning was hidden by him, he wouldn't have left her in the Song Family." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "Let Xue Lin and the others check it out."
Ye Zhen told Mo Rongzhan the gossip she had heard. "… I don't know if Zhao Rao already knows about this. At first, I saw that she had some sisterly feelings for Zhao Ning. If she doesn't even care about her sisterly feelings now, it will be too chilling."
Mo Rongzhan's face was indifferent. Men and women were not the same. If Zhao Rao did not have Cheng Zheng behind her, she might not even think about becoming the empress she is today. Nowadays, the policy of the Qi Kingdom is strict, and the one who insists on implementing it is Cheng Zheng. This may be a good thing for the Qi Kingdom, but it is definitely not a good thing for other countries.
"Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng … Why would they suspect each other?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
"The trust between a woman and a man is more because of love. If the feelings between them are always deep, I think it will be difficult for Zhao Rao to suspect Cheng Zheng." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about something.
