Chapter 22 Shen Ningning, Gone?

In the darkness, the young prince Mo Lingwei was wearing a scarlet robe and a red gold crown.

His eyes were as if covered with a layer of frost.

He sat casually, with a noble aura.

He had the most ruthless look, but his left hand, which was holding the teacup, was hung with a string of Buddhist beads that the emperor had personally asked for him.

Mo Lingwei's eyes were cold.

"Keep beating."

The two prince's guards holding long whips immediately started beating again.

The housekeeper screamed.

Chen Shaobei stood behind the prince for a while and finally couldn't help it.

"Your Highness, the housekeeper really didn't know. If he knew that the little girl was looking for you, he would definitely not drive her away."

Mo Lingwei raised his eyes, and his eyes were dark and cold.

"After I returned to the palace, there were too many trivial matters, and I forgot to tell you for a while."

When he said this, he raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.

I don't know if Shen Ningning came to him because she encountered something difficult.

But when he heard that the housekeeper had her thrown out.

Mo Lingwei felt that he should vent his anger on Shen Ningning.

She was already very pitiful.

Everyone was bullying her.

Chen Shaobei watched the housekeeper being beaten, and gradually he couldn't even cry out in pain.

He said again: "If His Royal Highness is worried, why don't I accompany His Royal Highness tomorrow to see where the little girl lives?"

Mo Lingwei had this idea.

In case Shen Ningning had any urgent matters and asked him for help, he could also lend a hand.

So he ordered: "Stop."

The housekeeper finally didn't have to be whipped.

Mo Lingwei stood up and walked past him.

And left a sentence: "This beating is to hope that you will have eyes. When she comes to the Zhennan General's Mansion again in the future, you must treat her well as if she were a sacrifice."

With that, Mo Lingwei left with a row of iron cavalry.

The next day.

Mo Lingwei and Chen Shaobei took a carriage and headed straight for Wolf Mountain with a row of personal guards leading the way.

Arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Shaobei got off the carriage and looked around, his eyes blank.

Seeing Mo Lingwei walking up the mountain with ease.

He immediately followed.

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to save your little girl and live in the mountains?"

"Well," Mo Lingwei responded coldly: "She was bullied by her family and had nowhere to live, so she could only live in the cave with the wolf pack."

"So, the housekeeper threw her out, and everyone bullied her and stepped on her. Do you think she is pitiful?"

Chen Shaobei: ...

Before he said anything, the prince protected her first.

He didn't say that the little girl was not pitiful!

However, when the two of them walked to the vicinity of the wolf's den, one step deep and one step shallow.

Mo Lingwei called out first: "Shen Ningning."

There were only insects chirping around, and no one responded.

Mo Lingwei frowned faintly.

He climbed up the slope.

But he saw that the wolf's den was empty!

The traces of cooking had long become old.

Chen Shaobei climbed up with great effort, looked around and said, "No one?"

Mo Lingwei did not answer, turned around and walked out of the wolf cave, and went to the spiritual spring behind to check.

What a pity!

The lush forest and the clear blue spring that he had seen before were all gone.

The spring dried up, and the surrounding trees also withered and lost their original green.

The calm darkness in Mo Lingwei's eyes finally became a little strange.

He searched around for a long time.

Even, a cold voice shouted: "Shen Ningning!"

No one responded.

Chen Shaobei led people around the area.

Not only did they not find any traces of human activities, but there was not even a wolf.

He returned to Mo Lingwei.

"It seems that she should have left. Wolves are naturally vigilant and will not live in one place forever."

Mo Lingwei's eyes were as dark as thick ink after hearing this.

The long and dense eyelashes cast a layer of shadow on his eyelids.

Shen Ningning, gone?

He could not help but return to the wolf's den again.

Looking at the name he carved on the wall, it was still there.

Shen Ningning's soft voice seemed to rise in his ears again--

"Brother, is this another way to write Polygonum multiflorum?"

And she was serious, learning to write his name in the palm of her hand, as if it was engraved in her memory.

As long as Mo Lingwei closed his eyes, he could clearly appear in front of him.

It was a disaster year.

Why did she run around.

If she went to another place, would she survive?

Chen Shaobei saw that Mo Lingwei's expression was cold and his black eyes were cold.

He could not help but comfort him: "If you want to check, it's easy, send people around..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Lingwei interrupted: "Forget it, no need."

He turned and left the wolf's den.

"I wanted to repay her for saving my life, but since we have no chance to meet, forget it."

On the way back, Chen Shaobei found that Mo Lingwei never said a word.

There seemed to be disappointment in his eyes.

At night, in the East Palace.

Mo Lingwei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes.

It was Shen Ningning eating eggshells.

Mo Lingwei sat up suddenly.

He pressed his cold eyebrows and said with a gnashing tone: "She doesn't even know how to peel eggs when eating them. Can she really survive outside?"

It's obvious.

He had forgotten that when he was injured, Shen Ningning not only took care of him, but also supported her grandmother and the wolf pack by herself.

Mo Lingwei was no longer sleepy.

He sat until dawn.

"Come here."

The eunuch at the door heard the words and hurried in.

"Your Highness, what do you want?"

Behind the bed curtain, Mo Lingwei's lazy but domineering voice came.

"Send the guards to search for a person in the villages around Wolf Mountain. Her name is Shen Ningning, about four or five years old. Tell me immediately if you have any news."

"Wolf Mountain?" The eunuch hesitated: "But there are hundreds of villages around Wolf Mountain..."

Mo Lingwei interrupted coldly: "Go check!"

"Yes, yes!" The eunuch agreed quickly.

Who dares to mess with the prince?

This is the legitimate son that the emperor loves and hates!

Moreover, he is carrying that kind of legend...

The eunuch almost rolled and crawled out.

At this moment, Shen Ningning was comforting Wolf Three and Wolf Four.

"Okay, okay! Don't fight!" The little guy used his hands to pull the two wolves apart.

"Today, both of you can go to the village with me, don't be angry!"

Shen Ningning took the Black Wolf King to the village yesterday to see the progress of the house renovation.

Today, she is going out again.

Wolf Three chased after him first, and then Wolf Four pushed Wolf Three away with his butt.

They all wanted to go out with Shen Ningning and stick to the little guy.

They almost fought over this!

The Black Wolf King was beside him, looking at his sons calmly.

He knew that Shen Ningning depended on him the most.

So, he would not compete for favor like his sons!

Thinking of this, the Black Wolf King quietly licked Shen Ningning's little hand, indicating that he was always behind her.

The rest of the wolves looked at Shen Ningning eagerly.

Grandma Qin was picking vegetables and said with a smile: "Ningning, you can take three or four with you."

Helplessly, the little guy could only agree.

In the end, the Black Wolf King, Wolf Three, Wolf Four, and the other two female wolves followed her to Xiangyun Village to supervise.

Before leaving, the little guy said: "Don't scare the villagers casually, you have to listen to my command."

Wolf Three happily agreed.

However, just after entering the village entrance.

Shen Ningning saw Laizi, smiling flatteringly, walking towards her.

"Hey, little sister Ningning."
