Chapter 1957 Doubt

Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan have already settled in the Imperial Capital, and found that there are officers and soldiers patrolling the Imperial Capital on a regular basis almost every day, and even going from house to house to check the population. This phenomenon is really strange.

"A Zhan, those officers and soldiers seem to be looking for someone." Ye Zhen sent the officers and soldiers who came to inspect away and closed the door before saying to Murong Zhan.

"What did you ask?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.

Ye Zhen said, "Where do you come from, what do you do, and how many people are there in your family? I asked them in detail, but I always feel weird."

Mo Rongzhan held Ye Zhen's hand and walked into the room, gently stroking the back of her hand with his thumb, "Xue Lin and the others couldn't find any news about Zhao Ning. According to the current situation in Kyoto, Zhao Ning should not be in Cheng Zheng's hands. It’s in.”

"Then where is Zhao Ning?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise. She actually had this suspicion, but Zhao Ning had a child and was pregnant. It would definitely not be easy to escape from Cheng Zheng. "Is there someone helping Zhao Ning?"

"Maybe." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Zhao Ning is Zhao Yong's daughter. Zhao Yong's former ministers may help her out of blood ties."

Ye Zhen carefully thought about the people around Zhao Yong at that time, and the one who impressed her most deeply was Song Hongao.

"I heard that Song Hongao resigned from his official position after Zhao Rao became the empress. Now he is just a free man at home. Could it be that he helped Zhao Ning?" Ye Zhen said in a low voice.

"I'll go out to inquire tomorrow." Murong Zhan said.

Ye Zhen said, "It's better for me to inquire. You have to know that it is easier for women to inquire about some gossip."

"Are you sure?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows. Although his eyes were still unclear, he still looked down at Ye Zhen.

"I'm pretty sure." Ye Zhen said with a smile, stood on tiptoes and kissed him.

Mo Rongzhan nodded gently, "Okay."

Ye Zhen held his hand and returned to the house. They had only arrived in Qi for two days. In order to convince the officers and soldiers, she even took Murong Zhan to see a doctor. Although she felt that no doctor could cure Murong Zhan's eyes. But I still felt a little lucky in my heart, what if?

So she still made some medicine for Murong Zhan to drink. No matter how smelly Murong Zhan's face was, she coaxed and threatened him into drinking it.

The next day, Ye Zhen went out early. There was a market on East Street early in the morning. There were many people who came to buy vegetables and go to the market to chat and talk. The people who came here to go to the market were servants from various major mansions, and those women were the most popular. He likes to gossip outside and wants to know the secrets of the imperial capital. If he spends half a day in the market, he will definitely learn a lot.

Ye Zhen dressed up as a peasant woman and walked towards a crowded place. She happened to hear a few women talking about the least secret secret in the city.

"Have you heard? It turns out that Marquis An Ning had an affair with... that person a long time ago."

"We were uncles before, so we naturally have more opportunities to get along with each other."

"Did you hear about it? The late emperor wanted to marry another princess to Marquis Anning."

"Don't say such nonsense, you'll be beheaded..."

Ye Zhen listened silently for a while, feeling that there was nothing interesting to listen to, so she turned around and left.

"I have a nephew whose neighbor is a member of the Cheng family. Do you know why officers and soldiers have been patrolling the city recently?"

Ye Zhen, who had walked a few steps, stopped again and approached with a curious expression.

"Someone in Marquis Anning's family is missing." The man lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.

Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly. Is there anyone in Cheng Zheng's family who is missing? They want to search in Kyoto?

"I heard that she was the concubine kept by Marquis An Ning at home. I didn't dare to let the Queen know about it, so I had to make excuses and search from house to house."

"Oh, you can't say this, you'll die."

The woman knew she had said something extraordinary and hurriedly covered her mouth, "I didn't say anything."

The women who were still chatting together were so frightened by these words that they dispersed.

Who is An Ninghou? He was the legendary second emperor of Qi. If what they said accidentally reached his ears, they would definitely be executed by the Nine Clan.

Ye Zhen walked into the crowd thoughtfully.

It seemed that as she guessed, Zhao Ning might have left the Cheng family. Cheng Zheng had people guarding the city gate to prevent Zhao Ning from leaving the city.

Nowadays, the Qi State is almost under the control of Cheng Zheng. Who else would take such a big risk to save Zhao Ning?

Ye Zhen thought about it, several objects of suspicion emerged in her mind, but she always felt that it was impossible.

She wanted to find out more, but the market had come to an end, so she had to go back first.

Ye Zhen was thinking about what the woman just said. She didn't know how true or false she was. If Cheng Zheng was really looking for someone, it would be Zhao Ning who he found. Now she had to find a way to confirm this. true or false.

boom--

Suddenly, she hit a wall of flesh. Ye Zhen came to her senses immediately, lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry."

The man dropped the things in his hands when she knocked him down, and Ye Zhen hurriedly picked them up for him. They were several packets of medicinal materials, one of which had been scattered, "I... I'll pay you for the medicine."

"No need." The man said calmly, picked up the other two packets of medicine, and got on the carriage next to Ye Zhen without even looking at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the person who had driven away. It was Song Hongao. How could he come to buy anti-fetal medicine in person?

She took the medicine scattered on the ground in her hand and smelled it. It was indeed an anti-fetal medicine.

Back in the courtyard, Ye Zhen told Murong Zhan about the incident.

"Did Song Hongao hide Zhao Ning? Otherwise, how could he buy anti-fetal medicine?" Ye Zhen took Mo Rongzhan's hand, "Azhan, why don't we go to the Song family to have a look."

"Song Hongao didn't necessarily hide Zhao Ning when he went to buy anti-fetal medicine. Even if he hid Zhao Ning, he would not leave her in the Song family." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice, "Let Xue Lin and the others go and check. "

Ye Zhen told Mo Rongzhan the gossip she had learned, "...I wonder if Zhao Rao already knew about this matter. At first, I thought she had a bit of sisterly affection for Zhao Ning. If she even has sisterly affection now, If you don’t care, that would be so chilling.”

Mo Rongzhan's expression was pale. Men and women are different. If Zhao Rao had not had Cheng Zheng behind him, he might not have thought about becoming the queen he is today. Nowadays, Qi State's policies are strict, and Cheng Zheng is the one who insists on implementing them. Being soft and strong may be a good thing for Qi, but it is definitely not a good thing for other countries.

"Why would Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng be suspicious of each other?" Murong Zhan asked in a low voice.

"The trust between women and men is more about love. If the relationship between them has been deep, I think it will be difficult for Zhao Rao to doubt Cheng Zheng." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.

Mo Rongzhan tapped his fingers on the table, wondering what he was thinking.
