1140. Chapter 1140 Something Must Have Happened
Song Hong Ao followed Hong Ying. He now regretted that he should not have said that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. She should not have said it and Lu Yaoyao's maid heard it. He hoped not to cause trouble.
Chengde Villa occupies a large area. Song Hongao has just seen it from the front. He did not expect that there is something more hidden behind it, and there are guards standing in almost every corner. This level of defense is no more than that even in the palace.
It is impossible for Morong Zhan to let so many guards guard his queen, as he would be protecting her.
"Prince Song, please." Hongying brought Song Hongao to the living room and stared at him coldly.
Song Hongao didn't notice Hongying's glare at him at all. He just lamented that Lu Yaoyao even had martial arts skills for the maids around her. What kind of queen was she?
In the living room, Ye Zhen was sitting at the top, and Zhao Ning was sitting on the upper left. She was in a particularly happy mood because she could stay in Chengde Villa. Her eyes glanced at Song Hongao outside the door, and she smiled and said to Ye Zhen, "My queen. , Prince Song is here."
Ye Zhen put down the tea cup in her hand and looked out indifferently. She took a look at Song Hongao who stepped forward and walked in. He was indeed a handsome man with clear features and a calm and restrained temperament. Being able to become Zhao Yong's confidant is indeed not an ordinary person.
"Song has met the Queen." While Ye Zhen was looking at Song Hongao, he was also observing her. When he first saw the woman sitting on it with a picturesque face, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It’s truly a well-deserved reputation! It was said that the Queen of Jin State was so powerful that she captivated the country and the city, but he thought it was exaggerated by others. Only when he saw her today did he realize what it means to be graceful and beautiful.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Prince Song, I will grant you a seat without any courtesy."
Song Hongao raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Ye Zhen. He was shocked again. He had never seen a pregnant woman who was so beautiful that people could not look at her directly.
"Thank you, Queen." Song Hongao put away the surprise in his heart. He thought about how to stop the emperor from coming here. With the emperor's virtue, maybe he could even fall in love with the queen?
"Prince Song, you have worked hard along the way. It has been a few days since you arrived in Jin Kingdom. Do you think you are still used to it?" Ye Zhen asked gently.
"It's not hard, I'm used to everything. The difference between Jin State and Qi State is not big." Song Hongao said.
Can a messenger like Bu Tiao be eloquent? Why does this Song Hongao seem to be a person who is not good at words?
Zhao Ning still couldn't stand the expressionless expression on his face, so she said, "Prince Song, I will stay at the villa for two days. Can you go back and tell Uncle Wang that I will go back in two days."
Song Hongao was stunned, "Princess, do you want to stay?"
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Yes, I know that the princess will return to Qi Kingdom soon, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet her in the future, so I want to keep her with her for two days, and I also ask Song Shizi to inform the prince."
"This...I will go back and tell the prince tonight." Song Hongao felt helpless in his heart. If Zhao Ning stayed, the emperor would definitely be able to come here. He really didn't want the emperor to see Lu Yaoyao.
"I heard that Prince Shen of your country has also come to Jin State this time?" Ye Zhen asked Xue Lin to find out before. Zhao Zhongshen is Zhao Yong's only sibling, but he is like a waste in Qi State. He only cares about having fun every day. , there is no achievement in merit. If Zhao Yong had not tolerated him, he would have lost the title of prince.
When Song Hongao heard Ye Zhen ask about the prince, he immediately cheered up and said, "Yes, our emperor specially asked Prince Shen to come and recognize the princess."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "So, as long as Prince Shen confirms that Aning is a princess, then your emperor will definitely believe it?"
In front of Song Hongao, Ye Zhen deliberately appeared to be very familiar with Zhao Ning, even calling him by his first name.
Zhao Ning glanced at Ye Zhen, then turned to look at Song Hongao. This question was also what she wanted to ask. Did Prince Shen say that she was a princess, and she would definitely be a princess when she went to Qi State, and nothing would change?
"Since our prince has confirmed the princess's identity, it will not change when she returns to Qi." Song Hongao could see Zhao Ning's worry and assured her in a low voice.
Zhao Yong really trusts Zhao Zhongshen! Ye Zhen smiled, "That's good, I don't have to worry."
Song Hongao raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhen, and then averted his eyes unconsciously, "Is this why the Queen summoned Song?"
"This is already a very important matter." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
She originally wanted to guess Zhao Yong's character from Song Hongao, but now she is curious about Zhao Zhongshen.
Maybe after seeing Zhao Zhongshen, we can better understand what kind of person Zhao Yong is.
Song Hongao said, "The Queen is in Chengde, but her heart is in Kyoto. Song will bring the message to Prince Shen."
Can a neglected queen still live so comfortably here? Even the news in Kyoto can be so clear...
"Thank you, Crown Prince Song." Ye Zhen said.
Song Hongao stood up and said goodbye. He wanted to stay in Chengde, but now it was better for him to tell the emperor some of his guesses quickly.
Ye Zhen also felt that she couldn't find out more from this smart person, so she asked Xue Lin to send Song Hongao down the mountain.
"An Ning, it's getting late. You go down and rest first. Hongling will take you to the hot spring pool later. You can take a dip in the hot spring and sleep more comfortably tonight." Ye Zhen smiled at Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning nodded, "Okay."
After Ye Zhen had arranged everything for Zhao Ning, she called Xue Lin and Wu Chong over.
"Now you can tell me, what happened in the palace? What happened to Concubine Shu's happiness?" Ye Zhen's dark eyes looked at Xue Lin and the others coldly. She gave them most of the day to find out everything that should be investigated. Check it out.
Xue Lin and Wu Chong looked at each other, thinking that the empress must have forgotten this matter.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates sent people to investigate and there is no news. Last night, news suddenly came out in the palace that Concubine Shu urgently requested an imperial doctor. This morning, I said it was because... because she was pregnant." Wu Chong said in a low voice.
"Concubine Shu is happy, why did Chengde Villa send extra guards?" Ye Zhen asked coldly.
She didn't believe that Mo Rongzhan would favor Concubine Shu at this time. If he really didn't, then what happened to Concubine Shu's happiness?
Something must have happened to Hu Yue'er...
Mo Rongzhan probably said that Hu Yue'er was pregnant because he didn't want people to know the true situation. But what would happen to Hu Yue'er in the palace? The palace is heavily guarded and everything goes through several inspections. Who can harm Hu Yue?
Thinking of the scene in the palace at this time, Ye Zhen's heart tightened, "Wu Chong, you go back to Kyoto, go to the palace to find out more about it, and then come back to this palace."
