"I wonder how the Queen found the young princess?" Zhao Yuanzhen turned his eyes and looked around and said, "If I remember correctly, Shen Ting must be someone close to the Queen."
Zhao Yuanzhen frowned slightly and looked at Si Ningchi. When Shen Ting handed over the little princess to him yesterday, Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to keep Shen Ting, but to his surprise, Shen Ting was extremely skilled in martial arts and The very weird technique made him dare not touch it head-on.
Shen Ting obviously didn't want to get entangled with Zhao Yuanzhen, and he didn't even mention the queen at all. He just handed the person over to him and left.
Zhao Yuanzhen heard some things about Shen Ting from Zhao Zongheng. He didn't take it to heart at first. After all, he was just a eunuch. Now it seems...
Having Shen Ting next to Si Ningchi is the most important thing that people need to pay attention to.
No wonder Wei Xingxue's death was so shocking at first, but now Zhao Yuanzhen is still sure that Wei Xingxue was killed by the Queen.
"Uncle Emperor, is he here to investigate?" Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows lazily and asked.
"The Queen has misunderstood. I just want to ask for clarification." Zhao Yuanzhen had a rare gentle attitude and did not want to delve into what the Queen and Shen Ting did, or what Shen Ting's guilt was in leaving the palace privately after receiving the Queen's order. I understand.
The emperor must have already known that the queen had means, and must have acquiesced in what the queen did.
Even if he doesn't agree with the queen, he must agree with the emperor.
Therefore, Zhao Yuanzhen did not have any intention of investigating in detail, and only focused on the source of the little princess's sudden disappearance. After all, Shen Ting brought her back, and the unconscious little princess had no idea that she almost went through it. What, I can’t tell you anything.
If he wanted to know the reason, he could only ask the queen.
"You should not take it lightly when the little princess encounters something like this in the capital. If it happens again..." Zhao Yuanzhen frowned slightly and looked at Si Ningchi and said: "Since the queen can find the person so quickly, she must have found some clues. Can you tell me?"
"Uncle, don't worry, she won't dare to take action against the little princess again." Si Ningchi looked lazy and said lightly: "Uncle, don't worry about this. You don't care about the little princess at all."
"..." Zhao Yuanzhen's expression moved slightly, he looked at Si Ningchi and said: "When the Queen left from Xuanming Palace last night, she asked me what those words meant?"
"Just asking." Si Ningchi answered lazily.
Zhao Yuanzhen was a little helpless. He knew that Si Ningchi was concealing something but could not press him. He looked at Si Ningchi and said with some confusion: "Queen, I don't understand. The emperor has no intention of questioning, so why should the empress conceal it?" ”
Si Ningchi blinked slightly and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen, and said in a brisk tone with a smile: "I am happy~"
It’s really interesting to see Zhao Yuanzhen’s tense expression, as if he’s holding his breath and speechless.
Zhao Yuanzhen couldn't hold himself any longer, gritted his teeth and said: "I'm disturbing the empress, I'll come back when the emperor wakes up."
He turned around and went out with a sullen look on his face. He probably had never been teased like this since he was a Holy King. Only the Queen was never unreasonable and did her own thing, so it was impossible to predict her changeable emotions.
It was obvious that the emperor wanted him to trust the queen, but after several conversations, he felt that the person he didn't trust was not him, but the queen.
It was obvious that Si Ningchi did not want to see him.
This realization makes Zhao Yuanzhen very irritable, especially when she takes the initiative to show her kindness, but she has no intention of relenting at all. She will treat you as she should.
Inexplicably, Zhao Yuanzhen felt a great sense of frustration.
"Your Majesty, the Holy King is the emperor's biological uncle after all. So you are not afraid that the Holy King will come to the Emperor and say something about you?" Su Yun saw Zhao Yuanzhen leaving with a bad expression, and then looked at his own concubine's disdainful expression.
Smiling, he couldn't help but whisper.
"He doesn't look down on me as the queen." Si Ningchi sneered and said, "How can I make him happy?"
Si Ningchi has such a keen mind, Zhao Yuanzhen never felt that she should be the queen. He didn't agree with her moral style, character or behavior, but he was forced to bow down because of the emperor's liking.
Si Ningchi held his head and smiled in a low voice. Do you think she cares about it?
"Let the chef cook some meals that the emperor likes to eat." Si Ningchi stretched and stood up and said, "Don't starve the dog emperor to death. It's my fault."
"Yes." Suyun was stunned and lowered his head in agreement.
Maybe Si Ningchi didn't realize that she also treated Zhao Zongheng differently.
Only the emperor recognized her as the queen from beginning to end.
How could Si Ningchi not see such a sharp contrast?
Fang Zhiyao was still a little frightened after waking up. Under King Lu's comforting questioning, she told some fragmentary memories, but it was of little use. She was kidnapped in her boudoir and then fainted.
I don’t remember anything after that.
"Father, who saved me?" Fang Zhiyao was very confused. She had no idea why she encountered such a thing.
"The Holy King sent you back. Fortunately, everything is safe." King Lu looked at his precious daughter. After confirming that Fang Zhiyao had not suffered any harm, he finally let go of his worries, but he still felt depressed. She wished she could find out the person who kidnapped her and cut her into pieces to vent her anger.
Fang Zhiyao frowned slightly and felt confused. She vaguely remembered that she had woken up once and saw the figure of a person. Was that person the Holy King?
She looked at her father and said: "Father, since my daughter has been saved by the Holy King, she must thank the Holy King for saving her life."
"It's just that my father and I just entered the capital and didn't provoke any enemies. How could it be..." Fang Zhiyao looked innocent, but she was not a fool. She didn't think this matter was a simple robbery of wealth or sex.
Obviously the person who kidnapped her had a very clear purpose.
Why her?
Since entering the capital, apart from her friendship with the Queen, she has never gotten along with anyone, let alone offended anyone.
King Lu comforted Fang Zhiyao and said, "Father will find out about this matter. You have a good rest."
Fang Zhiyao was speechless and had no choice but to obediently agree. After arranging the guards inside and outside Fang Zhiyao's room, King Lu hurriedly entered the palace. Obviously, he wanted to find an explanation from the emperor and make this matter clear.
.
It was already afternoon when Zhao Zongheng woke up. To be precise, he woke up hungry.
"Your Majesty, this is the meal prepared for you by the Queen." Wang Chengxiang grinned and brought up a meal.
"Where is the queen?" Zhao Zongheng looked at the table full of food and was in a good mood, curling his lips and asked.
"We are arranging flower branches in the courtyard." Wang Chengxiang said quickly: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent newly folded plum blossom branches, and the empress likes them very much."
"Well..." Zhao Zongheng nodded in agreement while eating.
