Chapter 470 The Prince's Old Illness Relapses

When Shen Ningning left the Qi Mansion, she promised Mrs. Qi that she would definitely find a way for Qi Xiuwei.

A few days passed.

The Queen's memorial day was approaching, and the emperor went on a tour incognito, taking Mo Lingwei, the King of Shu, and Shen Ningning to stay at the National Temple for a few days.

First, it was to pray for the late Queen, and second, the Emperor had to burn incense regularly to thank God for his son Mo Lingwei's relapse of his old illness.

The road up the mountain was a bit slippery and muddy, and the carriage was a bit difficult to drive.

Shen Ningning lifted the curtain and saw Chen Shaobei escorted by soldiers, as well as Commander Lu and a group of strict imperial guards. She was relieved.

"Strange, why haven't I seen Lord Pei for a long time?" She was a little puzzled.

Mo Lingwei, who was sitting next to her reading a book, raised his eyes and pretended to be indifferent: "What's wrong, do you miss him?"

Shen Ningning blinked in surprise: "No, brother, don't talk nonsense, I want to ask him what kind of feelings he has for Xiaowei. They have been communicating for so many years. I don't believe that Lord Pei doesn't like Xiaowei at all."

If Pei Yin can help and help to cancel Qi Xiuwei's marriage, how happy Xiaowei will be.

Mo Lingwei snorted coldly: "How much can he like it? After so long, he can't figure out who is writing to him. I think he is confused."

Shen Ningning tilted her head. Today, there are a few tassels in the girl's black hair.

With the movement, it swayed slightly, and the luster was shimmering.

"Brother, tell the truth, did you embarrass Lord Pei?"

"No. Mo Lingwei crossed his arms, lowered his eyes coldly, and continued to read, but he was a little annoyed and couldn't read.

Shen Ningning pulled his sleeve: "Really? Then why don't you dare to look me in the eye and say it. "

Mo Lingwei suddenly raised his head: "I didn't."

However, he really didn't dare to look the little girl in the eye.

Finally, he threw the book aside and angrily admitted: "Why don't you believe me? I just gave him a few secret guards and asked him to investigate whether Liang Yuanzhong was worthy of Qi Xiuwei's marriage. It was originally a good thing, how can it be considered a dilemma. "

Shen Ningning opened her eyes wide: "You let him investigate Liang Yuanzhong himself? He is the prince of Changguo. What if Pei Yin's whereabouts are exposed and..."

Before she finished her words, Mo Lingwei had covered her mouth with his hand.

He spoke in a low voice, and this time he didn't seem to be joking.

"If he likes Qi Xiuwei, he will naturally know what to do. Don't worry about him. "

Shen Ningning blinked her long eyelashes innocently, and her round eyes were very clear.

The inexplicable anger in Mo Lingwei's heart was suppressed.

He retracted his hand: "If you are sleepy, take a nap. It's still a little distance to the National Temple. "

Shen Ningning was not sleepy, just looking at the Buddhist beads in his hand.

Mo Lingwei had not worn it for a long time. This time he came out to worship God and the queen, and the emperor specifically asked him to wear it.

The national temple had been inspected and closed by the imperial guards three days in advance. There was no pilgrim at this time. The emperor and his entourage arrived at the national temple. The abbot and a group of monks stood at the door to greet them.

"Amitabha, I am here to see the emperor. All the furnishings in the Zen room have been arranged. Please let the emperor and the nobles take a bed."

The weather was dull. Shen Ningning looked up and felt that the clouds were thick, as if it was going to rain heavily.

Mo Lingwei naturally took her hand: "The soil on the mountain is slippery, I will lead you."

When the two passed by the King of Shu, Shen Ningning raised her eyes and saw that the King of Shu was smiling.

She frowned subconsciously.

I really don't like this bad guy.

Mo Lingwei looked around, raised his eyebrows and asked coldly: "Why don't you see my aunt? "

"Your aunt is not feeling well, so she can't come." The King of Shu answered quickly.

Everyone burned incense in the main hall one by one.

Afterwards, the emperor went to rest, and Shen Ningning followed Mo Lingwei to his meditation room.

Mo Lingwei called Chen Shaobei, secretly told him a few words, and asked him to check.

In the afternoon, Chen Shaobei returned and said to Mo Lingwei: "As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the Princess of Shu is under the control of the King of Shu in the mansion. She is not sick. It seems that the King of Shu does not allow her to go out."

Mo Lingwei was silent, and anger surged in his thin eyes.

"He treated my aunt like this, and he turned a deaf ear to my instructions."

Chen Shaobei said again: "I also found something very strange. The palace soldiers in the palace are almost gone. "

As a prince, the King of Shu has personal guards. These guards are more powerful than ordinary guards and are usually responsible for protecting the palace.

The King of Shu has about 200 guards, but when Chen Shaobei went back to sneak into the King of Shu's palace, he found that there were almost no guards patrolling.

Where did they go?

Shen Ningning was a little suspicious: "Could they be taken to escort the Ninth Prince out of the capital?"

Mo Lingwei's eyes flashed with disgust.

His own uncle actually liked Concubine Qi's son more.

It's ridiculous.

"Don't worry about him, Shaobei, you should arrange more people to keep an eye on the King of Shu."

"Okay." Chen Shaobei nodded.

Considering Shen Ningning's safety, Chen Shaobei said directly: "I brought Jiang Zhi with me this time. Let her stay with Miss Shen, right?"

Mo Lingwei frowned: "Jiang Zhi is a man, which is inconvenient. I brought a few palace maids for Shen Ningning, who know some kung fu and boxing. "

Shen Ningning said quickly: "It's okay! I am more familiar with Brother Jiang, and it is good for him to be here. "

Mo Lingwei's face darkened, and he was a little reluctant, but Shen Ningning said so, so he could only agree.

But he thought about it countless times in his heart.

Why does Shen Ningning always have so many good brothers, Brother Jiang, Lord Pei...

Is he not good enough? What does she need these people for!

After dinner, Shen Ningning returned to her room to rest.

Jiang Zhi came in from outside, covered with raindrops, and the little girl knew it was raining outside.

Seeing her in armor, she looked mighty and her eyebrows were even more heroic.

These years of experience have made Jiang Zhi more calm.

"Sister Ningning!" Jiang Zhi was very happy to see her.

Usually, she was busy with training and rarely had the opportunity to return to Xiangyun Village to see Shen Ningning. This time, Chen Shaobei would bring her with him, and she was very surprised.

"Jiang--" The little girl almost blurted out the word "sister". She glanced at the palace maid at the door and smiled to cover up her embarrassment: "Brother Jiang, my safety this time is up to you."

Jiang Zhi immediately responded seriously: "I will definitely not fail in my mission."

Before going to bed, Shen Ningning walked to the corridor and looked at the dark sky.

The rain was getting heavier, hitting the eaves like a crackling sound like a cannon, and soon, the rain kept gathering and winding down from the mountain.

The National Temple is located in the continuous mountains. Shen Ningning didn't know why she felt a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, she lit a lamp when she went to bed and told Jiang Zhi: "Don't leave the yard too far, and if you find any suspicious people, don't chase them alone."

Jiang Zhi nodded in agreement.

However, Shen Ningning was awakened by a burst of rapid knocks on the door not long after she fell asleep.

"It's not good, sister Ningning," Jiang Zhi's voice came: "His Royal Highness's old illness has relapsed, the emperor asks you to go over to help!"

My dears, peace and good luck in the winter solstice!
