Ni Yueshan made a scene and returned to the Prime Minister's Residence, where Ni Hongbo continued to wait for her.
"Where's my second sister?"
Ni Yueshan felt strange at this point: "Why, Ni Yueshuang hasn't come back yet?"
"Stop pretending to be confused. Wasn't it you who did it?"
Ni Hongbo looked at Ni Yueshan with red eyes, wishing he could arrest Ni Yueshan and torture him to extract a confession!
"I'll do it? If something happens to her, I'll be the first person suspected. There's no need for me to do it this time, right?"
Although Ni Yueshan's question made some sense, Ni Hongbo never thought of letting Ni Yueshan go.
He continued to press the issue, "Second sister went out with you, and you came back just fine, so why is she still missing?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask? The Second Prince and I left first. As for her, if you want to find her, why not ask the two people in the General's Mansion? Maybe they can give you some clues!"
Ni Yueshan walked away with a look of disdain on his face.
Ni Hongbo looked at Ni Yueshan's departing figure and said coldly, "Okay, I'll trust you for now. If my second sister really disappears or encounters something unexpected, I will make you pay the price!"
After Ni Hongbo finished speaking viciously, he walked out of the door and headed for the general's mansion.
Inside the palace, Jing Chengzhi knelt before the emperor and said, "Greetings, Father."
"Why are you here at the palace so late? Is there something wrong?"
The emperor had a calm expression on his face, and he looked majestic without even getting angry. He sat on a high seat and looked at Jing Chengzhi, giving him a sense of oppression.
Jing Chengzhi knelt on the ground and responded respectfully, "Father, since I returned to the capital from hunting, I have been thinking about something, but I feel it is inappropriate, so I have never reported it to you."
"I have mustered up enough courage to come here this time. I beg Your Majesty to grant me your blessing!"
Jing Chengzhi first laid the groundwork to prepare the emperor before he decided to continue!
The emperor looked at him sternly, his voice deep and mellow: "If you have something to say, tell me quickly, don't beat around the bush."
"Your Majesty, General Zou's divorced wife, Ni Yueshan, is incredibly talented and skilled in archery. She is truly one of the best women around. I cannot help but be attracted to her, but due to her status, I'm afraid that if Your Majesty knew of my feelings, you would think she wasn't worthy of joining the royal family. That's why I've been hesitant until now."
Jing Chengzhi had a sincere expression on his face, and everything he said seemed to come from the bottom of his heart!
The emperor did not respond immediately. Jing Chengzhi was a little nervous, not knowing what the emperor was thinking.
"Before you came, the Queen came to see me!"
Jing Chengzhi didn't understand why the emperor said this?
"The Queen also told me about Ni Yueshan!"
Jing Chengzhi understood instantly: "Could it be that my second brother..."
"Indeed, the Queen intends to have the daughter of the Ni family marry into the Second Prince's household. I find Ni Yueshan to be somewhat different, which is a good thing. But you two brothers have both taken a fancy to this woman. What do you think of me?"
Jing Chengzhi lowered his head and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have caused trouble to my father!"
"It's actually quite simple. I've already come up with a plan. Who will win the Ni Yueshan title depends on the abilities of the two of you!"
When Jing Chengzhi heard this, he wondered if they wanted to compete or perform at the same time?
For an abandoned woman, he was already giving her enough face by asking for help. But, unfortunately, this abandoned woman is quite popular now...
This made him a little depressed!
"Please let me know, Father."
At the same time, Ni Hongbo arrived at the general's mansion.
Ni Yueshan had just left in a triumphant manner when Ni Hongbo came again.
But Zou Yangyao and Yang Wanyan knew that Ni Hongbo was not a good brother to Ni Yueshan.
"How come Master Ni has time to come to the General's Mansion?"
Zou Yangyao arrived in the living room. Ni Hongbo was pacing anxiously. Seeing Zou Yangyao, he quickly asked, "Did Yueshuang come back with the general and Concubine Yang today? Why hasn't Yueshuang returned to the prime minister's residence yet?"
Zou Yangyao's eyes flickered: "You mean, Miss Ni is missing?"
"Whether she's missing or not is still uncertain, but Ni Yueshan and the general have returned to the mansion. Only Yueshuang hasn't. She's a weak woman, and I can't help but worry about her!"
"Miss Ni Er had her own carriage. After leaving the tomb outside the city, they went their separate ways. This general has no idea where she is. It would be better to ask Ni Yueshan."
Ni Yueshan asked him to ask Zou Yangyao, but Zou Yangyao asked him to ask Ni Yueshan?
So no one knows where Ni Yueshuang is? When something happens to Ni Yueshuang, they just blame her?
Ni Hongbo's face was terribly gloomy. He clasped his fists towards Zou Yangyao and said, "Goodbye!"
Zou Yangyao watched Ni Hongbo leave without stopping him. Yang Wanyan walked over at this time and Zou Yangyao looked at her.
Today he rode away first, followed by Yang Wanyan, Yang Wanqing and Ni Yueshuang. Perhaps Yang Wanyan knew Ni Yueshuang's whereabouts best.
But, Zou Yangyao was too lazy to ask!
Outside the general's mansion, Ni Hongbo ordered the servants around him to disperse quickly and search for Ni Yueshuang.
If a woman does not return home at night, once the news gets out, her reputation will be ruined.
Inside the General's Mansion, Yang Wanyan looked at Zou Yangyao and asked with concern, "It's been a while since we sent the letter to the Second Prince's residence. Why hasn't he returned yet?"
"Don't worry about this matter!"
Yang Wanyan was stunned. When had he become so impatient even to speak to her?
Yang Wanyan felt very aggrieved. She pouted and touched her cheek. Perhaps it was because her face had not recovered well that Zou Yangyao treated her like this?
Yang Wanyan clenched her fists. Ni Hongbo must have come here just now because of Ni Yueshuang. Ni Yueshan just had to wait!
At the Second Prince's residence, the servants of the General's residence looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise: "Second Prince, the General has now sincerely joined your army. Are you refusing?"
The servants looked at Jing Yuchen in disbelief. Zou Yangyao's joining would make Jing Yuchen even more powerful, and he would definitely become the best candidate for the crown prince in the future.
But Jing Yuchen actually refused?
"This prince is also sincere, so I refused. After all, the Queen Mother has asked the Emperor Father for permission to assign Ni Yueshan to this prince. How can this prince accept your general's surrender?"
The servant was depressed, but quickly said, "It doesn't matter. With Miss Ni in the mansion, it will be easier to take action! But I am just a messenger. I need to go back and ask General Zou what he thinks. I will take my leave!"
The servant left in a hurry, thinking that this turn of events was too unexpected.
Jing Yuchen raised the corners of his lips slightly. The Queen had already proposed to the Emperor to let Ni Yueshan enter the palace, but he didn't know what the Emperor said.
It’s probably pretty close!
Jing Yuchen was inexplicably in a good mood. Zou Yangyao had been considering who to choose for far too long! He had long lost his patience.
Jing Yuchen is not the kind of person who comes and goes as he pleases!
"Second Prince, there's a letter from the palace!"
Jing Yuchen was a little surprised. If the result was out, shouldn't the queen be unable to contain herself and send the message right away?
"It's someone close to the Emperor." The servant reminded him, and Jing Yuchen quickly stood up.
