1498. Chapter 1498 The City Gate Was Blocked
Two unpretentious carriages were stopped outside the city gate.
Ge Kuan had been by Ye Chunnan's side for many years, so he still had some insight. He saw that the two carriages were unusual, so he went over to inquire in person. The first carriage included two white-faced and bearded children besides a half-grown child. A clean young man, he usually comes into contact with Kong Wu's powerful soldiers, and at a glance he recognized that these two men were not ordinary servants, but eunuchs.
Who is this kid? Ge Kuan glanced at the half-grown child, and was about to have someone check the second carriage, when he saw a tall man get out of the carriage.
"What's going on?" Cheng Zheng cast a cold glance at Ge Kuan with his long and narrow Danfeng eyes. Are there so many soldiers guarding the gate of Jinguo's capital every day?
Cheng Zheng had fought in the battlefield for many years, and his aura was full of murderous aura. He just got out of the carriage, and everyone was unconsciously restrained by him.
"Cheng... General Cheng?" Ge Kuan looked at him in shock, "Why are you here?"
Back then when Qi Guo and Jin Guo joined forces to fight against Wan Ziliang, Ge Kuan, as Ye Chunnan's lieutenant general, had naturally met the opponent's coach, wasn't he the one in front of him?
Cheng Zheng glanced at Ge Kuan indifferently, recognized him as the deputy general next to Ye Chunnan, and said calmly, "This Marquis escorted Princess Qi and the third prince to visit Princess Ning, Deputy General Ge, what's the problem?"
"No, no problem." Ge Kuan had seen General Cheng's decisive killing on the battlefield before, and his admiration for him was second only to his own general and the emperor. "Come here, send General Cheng to Yiwang Mansion."
The Empress wanted him to investigate people who had come out of the city. General Cheng and the others had just arrived in the capital city, so there should be no problem. The matter was told to the empress in the palace.
In the carriage, Zhao Rao looked puzzled, "What happened? Why does it feel like the entire capital city is filled with soldiers?"
Cheng Zheng's expression was serious. He had been to the capital city before, and he knew that it was not like this. Something must have happened.
"Something must have happened, we will inquire after the palace." Cheng Zheng said in a low voice.
"Then tell the third brother to be careful." Zhao Rao said.
Cheng Zheng glanced at her indifferently, "You're getting more and more interested in him."
Zhao Rao grew up in the palace. Except for the second princess Zhao Xiang, she didn't have much brotherhood with the other princesses and princes. Instead, it was the later Zhao Ning and the third prince who seemed to care about them like a sister.
"He's the third younger brother, what's wrong with me?" Zhao Rao said lightly. After getting along all the way, the child liked to cling to him again. The disgust and alienation at the beginning were long gone. of.
Cheng Zheng glanced at her, "Why don't you care about me?"
Zhao Rao's cheeks were burning red, and she gave him an angry look. Why is she not interested in him? If she didn't care, would she sit in the same car with him all the way?
"Speak!" Cheng Zheng whispered in Zhao Rao's ear.
Zhao Rao snorted, "What are you talking about, of course my niece cares about my uncle."
Cheng Zheng couldn't hear her calling him uncle now, so he grabbed her waist, "Say it again?"
All the way to Jinguo, they faced each other day and night, he didn't know how hard it was to not make it to the last step, they did everything that should be done between them, but he cherished her, and he really wanted her on the night when he wanted to get married, If she provokes him like this again, he is guaranteed to eat her first.
"You are still an elder, how can you be jealous of your third brother? Shame or not, I care about my third brother, is it the same thing as... like liking you?" Zhao Rao hid in his arms, gently scratching his cheeks with her small hands. neck.
These words instantly sweetened Cheng Zheng's heart, "I'm afraid the capital city will not be peaceful these few days. When you see Princess Ning, you can ask her what's going on."
Cheng Zheng knew that Zhao Yong had an eyeliner in the capital city, and before coming, Zhao Yong had already told him the contact method, and he would ask that person after nightfall.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Rao could feel the abnormality outside, and didn't know what happened.
Their carriage arrived at Yiwang Mansion soon.
After reporting her identity, she was told that Princess Yi and the prince were not in the mansion, and entered the palace within half an hour.
Entered the palace?
Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng looked at each other, why did they enter the palace today?
Although the prince and concubine are not here, as servants, who dare to neglect the princess and prince of Qi, they immediately went to invite the general manager.
"You said that the eldest princess and the third prince of Qi are outside the door?" Lu Lingzhi was still arranging to thank the guests behind closed doors, when he heard the porter's servant come to report his words, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Rao came quite quickly.
He came to the gate of the palace in person, "I have met the eldest princess, the third prince..." Lu Lingzhi raised his eyes to look at Anning Hou, "An Ninghou, please come in quickly, for neglecting all distinguished guests."
"Since Princess Ning is not here, we won't bother you." Cheng Zheng glanced at the manager. Who knows what's going on in the capital city, he'd better avoid it.
"The empress suddenly sent someone to invite the prince and concubine into the palace, and they should be back soon." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile. He knew what happened in the palace, and he understood how powerful Cheng Zheng was. Outside, it's better to be in the palace, at least it's still under my own eyeliner.
Zhao Rao wanted to meet Zhao Ning sooner, but if they lived outside, it would be more troublesome to meet her. She looked at Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lu Ling, "Okay."
"Please." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile, and soon someone arranged a guest room, and played the role of the palace manager flawlessly. Zhao Rao was arranged in the guest room in the backyard. courtyard.
Originally, Lu Lingzhi planned to accompany Cheng Zheng, but Cheng Zheng sent him away.
Lu Lingzhi returned to his room, looking in the direction of the palace with cold eyes.
"Master." Luo Cheng came in and whispered in his ear, "The nurse is dead, and the people in the palace can't find anything."
"Where's Tang Zhen?" Lu Lingzhi asked lightly. When Tang Zhen was mentioned, his eyes were still cold, as if the people in the palace whose life and death were uncertain were not his brothers who fought side by side with him.
Luo Cheng didn't even dare to lift his eyelids, "I've already taken the medicine, and my pulse has been broken, but at that time, Lu Yaoyao was by his side, it seemed that he was saved..."
Lu Lingzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't want to kill Tang Zhen, but if he was alive, sooner or later Lu Yaoyao would know about him.
"Don't let him wake up." Lu Lingzhi said.
"There are forbidden soldiers everywhere in the city now, will...find anything?" Luo Cheng asked worriedly.
Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly, "We don't do anything, what can they find?"
makes sense!
