Chapter 322 The Real Intention
"I'm fine, I just hope you're fine." The queen had a gentle and kind smile on her face. As long as the baby in her belly was fine, she was fine.
Then, she arranged for someone to take Pang Jingyi to a side hall in Yongfu Palace to rest.
Pang Jingyi was not stupid, so she could naturally see that something was wrong with the dog. She did not want to get involved in those intrigues, so she obediently followed the palace maid and left.
The queen walked towards Zhan Beiheng and Nan Jiao, and Zhan Yao followed.
"General's wife, what was that thing you threw to the dog before?" Zhan Yao had an arrogant look on her face. Thinking of what happened before, she was so angry.
"It's dog food. Fifth Princess, you should thank my mother and Miss Xue. If it weren't for the dog food, the dog would definitely bite you." Nan Jiao said with a smile.
Zhan Yao snorted coldly, "A dog won't bite this princess."
Nan Jiao laughed and said, "Are you so sure that dogs won't bite you? Are these dogs yours?"
"Of course not, they are patrol dogs trained by the royal family!" Zhan Yao snorted coldly, looking like you are a country bumpkin, you must not know.
Nan Jiao: “…”
The imperial palace is so avant-garde that it even uses patrol dogs!
Zhan Beiheng frowned. Why didn't he know that the palace had trained patrol dogs? Thinking of the commander of the Linlin Army, a cold curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Commander Lin is the Queen's man.
A moment.
Jiang Zhiyan, Wei Zixuan and others changed their clothes, tidied their appearance and came out.
"Aunt, Zishan seems to be missing." After looking around, Wei Zixuan looked anxious and worried.
The queen looked at everyone present, scanning them one by one, and really didn't see her. "Didn't you see her when you went to change your clothes just now?"
Wei Zixuan shook her head. "When I went in, I thought she would follow me in, but I didn't see anyone at all."
"Your Majesty, I seem to have seen her run in that direction because she was scared by the dog." Lin Qianya walked out of the crowd and said cautiously.
She did see Wei Zishan running away quickly in panic.
She originally wanted to run after him, but she was afraid that something might happen if she ran around randomly. After all, she was not the queen's niece, and if something really happened, no one would help her.
Wei Zishan is different.
The Queen looked at Yulin Qianya, "Are you sure which direction she ran to?"
"I think I was not wrong." Lin Qianya said nervously, feeling a little uneasy, not knowing whether what she said was right or wrong.
The wife of the Minister of Works hurriedly walked up to Lin Qianya, pulled her sleeve, and signaled her with her eyes not to talk nonsense.
Lin Qianya pursed her lips. She had already said it.
The Queen was preparing to arrange for someone to look for him.
The Crown Prince came with his Crown Princess and other princes.
Feng looked at Nan Jiao gently, and seeing that she was fine, a cheerful smile appeared on her face. Because the prince was in poor health, she had been staying by his side.
In fact, she didn't want to go to Yongfu Palace.
Zhan Yeyuan used the excuse of being unwell to keep her by his side.
"Empress, has the dog that caused the trouble been caught?" Zhan Yeyuan walked forward, glanced at Zhan Beiheng and Nan Jiao, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Why is the prince here?" the queen asked with a smile.
"My father asked me to come over to see how the matter is being handled. Tonight is the imperial banquet on New Year's Eve, and my father doesn't want anything bad to happen." Zhan Yeyuan said seriously.
The queen had a dignified smile on her face. "The dog has been taken away. No one was injured. Only my niece Zishan has gone somewhere unknown."
Zhan Yeyuan said, "Your Majesty, please arrange for someone to look for him."
The Queen looked at Madam Yao and said, "Take some people and search in the direction Miss Lin said. We must find Zishan as soon as possible to avoid any trouble."
"Yes, Her Majesty." Nanny Yao said respectfully, and immediately took two maids and two palace maids to look for someone.
Zhan Yeyuan smiled at Nan Jiao, "I just found out that you are afraid of dogs. Are you frightened?"
"I was indeed frightened. I didn't expect a large dog to suddenly burst out of the palace. It's okay if it scares me, but it would be bad if it scares my grandfather and father."
Nan Jiao said meaningfully.
"I will get to the bottom of this matter!" Zhan Yeyuan said in a deep voice, his elegant face suddenly turned cold.
"The Fifth Princess said it was a patrol dog trained by the royal family. A patrol dog wouldn't just rush out and scare people. I think this was done on purpose." Nan Jiao said bluntly.
Zhan Yeyuan frowned and looked at Zhan Beiheng, "Do you know patrol dogs?"
"I don't know." Zhan Beiheng said coldly.
"Mo Lan, go call Commander Lin of the Lulin Army over." Zhan Yeyuan's voice was cold and frightening, because he didn't know anything about patrol dogs either.
"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Lan took the order and left quickly.
Zhan Yeyuan looked at the people present, "Where's Jiang Huai? Didn't he come over?"
Nan Jiao was slightly startled, "My elder brother is here?"
"After Beiheng left, he came here to ask for instructions from our father. Didn't you see him?" Zhan Yeyuan's expression was slightly stiff, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Jiang Huai was on duty at the Ministry of War. He knew the rules of the imperial palace and would not wander around the harem alone.
Moreover, he had never been to Yongfu Palace and would ask someone to lead the way.
You won’t go wrong.
“No…” Nan Jiao’s expression changed slightly.
It has been so long since Zhan Beiheng came, but the eldest brother still hasn't shown up.
Wei Zishan is also missing.
Next second.
There was a bone-chilling coldness all over her body.
At first, she and Zhan Beiheng were also at the imperial banquet, but were framed and tied together in disheveled clothes. In the end, they were caught in the act, and the emperor arranged a marriage for them.
If my elder brother and Wei Zishan were lying together in dishevel.
Nan Jiao's hands were clenched into fists under her sleeves, making a crackling sound.
The dog is not the point.
The Queen's real intention was to have everyone catch the adulterer in the act. No wonder Wei Zishan ran away so early and the eldest brother never came.
"Prince, has Young Master Jiang from the General's Mansion come? I haven't seen him for a long time. Could he have taken the wrong road?" The Queen pretended to be puzzled and asked.
But in my heart I was smiling with pride.
She was angry after the marriage with Prince Kang's mansion was cancelled, and what made her even angrier was the Jiang family, so she was waiting, waiting for the royal banquet tonight.
It would be nice to marry Zishan to the general's mansion.
She can keep an eye on him and make a fuss, leaving the general's mansion in turmoil.
If they don't stand on her side, she will naturally not let them off easily.
"Maybe." Zhan Yeyuan said calmly. He almost guessed what would happen. Was the incident between his third brother and Nan Jiao going to happen again?
Mu Yuanyuan walked to Nan Jiao's side and lowered her voice and asked, "Is your elder brother okay?"
She had been back for several days and had already understood the situation in the capital. She did not want Jiang Huai to marry Wei Zishan, who was the niece of the Queen.
If Jiang Huaizhen marries her, there will be no peace in his life.
"Don't worry, mother, nothing should happen." Nan Jiao could only comfort her like this. Her elder brother hadn't shown up, so something must have happened.
"The second young lady of the Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion is missing, and the eldest son Jiang of the General's Mansion is also missing. They can't be together, right?" Pang Fangfei took the opportunity to speak loudly.
When Jiang Zhiyan heard this, she smiled inwardly. So this was the Queen's idea.
