The two of them secretly went out, ordered the carriage to drive to the Prince Regent's Palace.
Neither of them took their servants with them. They got off the carriage and looked furtively at the door. Under Deng Ning's push, Liu Qi went to the guard at the door and said, "Brother, guard, I want to ask, my fifth brother."
, that is, the fifth master of the Liu family, is he still a guest in the mansion?"
The guard saw the two men sneaking around and was about to step forward to ask questions. Now Liu Qi said that he was Shoutou's younger brother. He couldn't help but soften his expression and said: "It turns out that he is the sixth master of the Liu family. Yes, the fifth master is still here."
Are you looking for him as a guest in the palace? I will lead you in."
Liu Qi didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He thought that a fool, whether it was the guards or servants in the palace, would look down on him. Unexpectedly, he mentioned his name, and he was treated so warmly immediately. It can be seen that the prince really treats him.
I value it very much. Having him say a few words of help in this way is more effective than them saying that they have dried up their saliva.
Deng Ning was also very excited and followed the guards into the palace. The palace was very large and the decoration was very luxurious, but Deng Ning didn't think it was rare because the decoration of Deng Ning's palace was also very luxurious.
The two of them successfully met Shoutou. When Shoutou saw them coming, he was as happy as you are. He took Liu Qi's hand and went to meet the concubine. The concubine's attitude towards Liu Qi was not very warm, and she only responded lightly.
This sentence was just for Shou Tou's sake. She had learned from Xiao Jiu what the couple had done to Shou Tou before. She originally wanted to curse a few words, but when she saw Shou Tou introduce him with excitement,
Liu Qi introduced her to him, and she couldn't bear to let him down, so she socialized a few words.
As soon as the concubine left, Liu Qi said to Shou Tou: "Brother, is the prince in the mansion now?"
Shou nodded, "Yes, I saw him just now, but he was talking to General Murong, and Sister Xing'er was also there. They said they had important matters to discuss, but they didn't let me listen."
"What's the big deal?" Deng Ning's heart tightened. She felt guilty. When she heard the regent discussing the big deal, she thought it was her business.
"I don't know either. I heard that losing one's head is a serious matter. I was afraid that they wouldn't let me listen, so I left." Shou Tou said while biting the kernel.
"Lost your head?" Deng Ning was horrified, "Whoever loses his head, do you know who he wants to lose his head?"
"I don't know, I don't dare to listen, Xiaojiu said I can't eavesdrop on their conversation," Shoutou said.
Deng Ning was so frightened that she fell down on her chair and murmured: "What a tragedy. They must kill the heads of our Deng family. What should we do? What should we do?"
Liu Qi was also frightened and quickly took Shou Tou's hand aside to discuss with him.
Although Shoutou didn't know why Liu Qi asked him to say those words, this younger brother rarely asked him for help, so he had no reason to refuse. In fact, no matter who asked him to do something, he would agree.
Shou led Liu Qi and Deng Ning to wait outside the study. He sat on the stone steps and shook hands. Xiaojiu pulled him up and said, "It's cold underground, so you are not allowed to sit down!"
Shou beat his calf and said with a grimace, "I'm tired. I'm almost exhausted from walking with the concubine today."
"You, the concubine didn't say you were tired, why are you tired?" Xiao Jiu said helplessly. He said before that he didn't gain weight after eating because he loved to play and go out to exercise after eating, but in the past two days, he simply didn't move.
I feel like going to bed after eating every day, and have snacks when I wake up.
Deng Ning stamped her feet and said, "How long should we wait? I want to see the prince as soon as possible."
Xiaojiu said angrily: "If you don't like waiting, just leave. Why are you so anxious?"
Deng Ning was furious, "How dare you, a little girl, to contradict me? Do you want to die?"
"I don't know who will die yet." Xiao Jiu said coldly.
Liu Qi pulled Deng Ning and advised, "Don't get angry. When the prince hears this, he will have a bad impression of us."
Deng Ning threw her hands away, snorted, and ignored Xiao Jiu.
The study door opened with a creak, and Shou jumped up and shouted to Murong Shan at the door, "Brother Shan!"
"Good boy, Shoutou, why are you here again?" Murong Shang said with a smile.
"Yes, I will bring my younger brother here to find Brother Leng!" Shoutou said honestly to Murong Shan.
"Go in, your brother Leng is talking to sister Xing'er inside." Murong Shang stretched, took a deep breath, and stared at Liu Qi and Deng as if they didn't see him. When Deng Ning saw Murong Shang for the first time, she thought it was the prince, and her heart suddenly beat with fright.
.But then I found out that he was not a prince, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances. Murong Shang was very handsome, and all the older girls loved his elegant handsomeness. They were already used to the admiration of all the beauties, so they didn't take it seriously.
Liu Qi, on the other hand, reached out and pulled Deng Ning, and cursed in a low voice, "Why are you so stunned? Go in!"
Deng Ning came back to her senses and began to feel nervous at the thought of facing the current regent. She lowered her head and allowed Liu Qi to pull her in.
After Deng Ning entered, she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Chu Ye. She just knelt on the ground and stammered out the lines she knew by heart.
Chu Ye raised his eyebrows, "You mean, the five people who were kidnapped were your father, your eldest brother and your second brother?"
Deng Ning nodded repeatedly, then kowtowed, "I beg your lord to have mercy. Your lord, this matter really has nothing to do with the daughter of the people. It's unjust!"
Chu Ye and Xing'er looked at each other, and Xing'er shook her head and refused to comment.
Chu Ye put on a strange smile at the corner of his mouth and said: "Okay, you have provided important clues for this case and identified the mastermind behind it. It is considered a meritorious service. I can exempt you from the death penalty. Get up!"
Liu Qi and Deng Ning thanked her again and again, and then helped her up. Only then did Deng Ning dare to raise her head slightly to look at Chu Ye. When her eyes touched Chu Ye's Ling Han's gaze, she felt panicked and hurriedly lowered her head.
Chu Ye looked at Shou Tou, "Are you here to plead for them?"
Shou Tou shook his head, "No, I'm here to talk to Brother Leng. My sixth brother and sister are innocent, just kill her family." This sentence was not taught by Deng Ning, but this is what Deng Ning meant. Although
It was said more helplessly, but the overall meaning was that she did not deserve to die, and if the prince wanted to kill her, he would kill all her family members.
Liu Qi pulled him and said, "That's not what you said!"
Shouting said, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "But, I don't know what to say. Sixth brother, what bad thing did the sixth brother and sister's father do?"
Murong Shang said coolly at the door: "Shou Tou, they kidnapped your wife."
"Daughter-in-law? I don't have a wife, I sold it...you mean sister? They kidnapped my sister?" Shoutou suddenly became anxious and asked Liu Qi: "What about my sister? Where is she now?"
Liu Qi cried with a sad face. This is really a pot that cannot be opened. The prince had just promised not to kill Deng Ning, but he was talking crazy here, which angered the prince for a while. The prince took back his life, but it was tragic. He coaxed:
"It's okay, she will be back soon."
Shoutou didn't believe it, so he ran out and said to Xiaojiu: "Xiaojiu, something happened to my sister, let's go back!"
Xiao Jiu said: "We won't go back in a few days. Don't worry, the master will be fine."
Shouting didn't believe it, so he pulled Xiaojiu and was about to leave. Chu Ye was afraid that something would happen to him and could not explain to Yin Le, so he had to stop him: "Stop, don't leave!"
