Chapter 319 Second Prince, You Can Speak
Estimating that the time was almost up, Shen Ning stood up: "Then I won't disturb Your Highness to rest."
Xiao Nanrong stood up and escorted the man all the way out of Weiyang Palace before returning. From a distance, Shishu and Yan Nu could see the joyful smile on their master's lips that he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried...
Not seeing Xie Lingyue come back, Shen Ning knew that she should have left the palace safely, so she breathed a sigh of relief and took Qiyue back.
But at this moment, July stopped suddenly and frowned.
Seeing this, Shen Ning couldn't help but wonder: "Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"
After hesitating for a moment, Qiyue said, "Miss, I just saw a person's back... He looks like Mr. Xu San."
Xu Zhiyi?
Wasn't he imprisoned awaiting his fate? How could he appear in the Imperial Garden?
If someone else saw this, they might ask, "Did you see it wrong?"
But Shen Ning knew that these little guys around her, not to mention their eyesight, were very cautious about her affairs and would not say such things casually.
Shen Ning immediately decided: "Let's go and see."
July nodded: "Okay."
With July leading the way, Shen Ning's following was quite successful. After going around the archway and hiding behind a bunch of flowers, through the gaps in the flowers, Shen Ning indeed saw a man's back.
The man was not wearing court robes, nor was he a guard or palace servant... The next moment, she saw that man actually walked into a rockery on the lakeside grass.
After waiting for a while and seeing no one coming out, Shen Ning hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go and take a look."
She felt that it might be dangerous, but even though the man was far away, she could still see that it was indeed Xu Zhiyi who was supposed to be in prison... and behind the rockery was a palace wall.
Shen Ning glanced over there.
The wall separated from the outside by the palace wall is the harem wall of Weiyang Palace.
Xiao Nanchen hadn't sent any letters for a few days. Thinking of the fake Concubine Xu mentioned by Xie Lingyue, Shen Ning's heart was beating violently.
She was nervous, but at the same time she felt that the opportunity could not be missed.
If Xu Zhiyi really had something in mind with the Second Prince... how should Xiao Nanchen, who was already surrounded by enemies, respond?
She won't live long anyway, so go and beg!
The fear of risking everything makes people extra calm... Chen Ning asked Qiyue to go back and call Yuanyue and the others to come over just in case, and then asked someone to tell the Queen Mother that she was with the Second Prince... After making preparations for both situations, she hid at the entrance of the rockery cave and listened carefully.
The Cining Palace was not far from here, and Qiyue and the others would be here soon. Shen Ning tried to steady her breathing and concentrate on hearing something... but there was only a faint sound with an echo, which was impossible to distinguish.
The next moment, she gritted her teeth and walked a little further inside... Just a few steps forward, she heard a faint voice coming from inside.
"We've already contacted Japan, and we're just waiting for your order..."
Japanese country! ?
Shen Ning was suddenly startled, and without caring about anything else, she held her breath and walked a few steps inside again, until she reached the end of the rockery cave.
At the end was a rockery wall. If someone walked in here by mistake, they would not think much about it. However, Shen Ning knew that Xu Zhiyi had just entered from here. She looked around in the dim light and saw an obvious gap.
There is a mechanism here!
But she didn't dare go any further in... After all, there was only a fake cave behind her, and any noise could be heard from outside, making it easier to escape. But if she went any further in, she would be courting death.
Shen Ning thought about it, and then lightly put his ear against the stone wall. Sure enough, the originally faint sound became much clearer.
"The Yuan Dynasty's Crown Prince, Mu Huali, has also made preparations. If Japan launches an attack, the Yuan Dynasty will immediately send troops. Then, the two sides will jointly destroy the Liaodong half of the Fengning Iron Cavalry... Prince Ding will have no reinforcements."
Shen Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she felt like she was falling into an icy cave.
The next moment, she heard another clear yet cold voice: "Seventh brother, you have completely cleaned up the lineage of the Crown Prince and Empress for us. It is time for you to retire now that you have accomplished your mission."
There was a buzzing sound in Shen Ning's head...
Seventh brother?
This person... is the Second Prince? !
That’s right, it was the Second Prince, the Second Prince that everyone thought couldn’t speak… the Second Prince who was, in the eyes of others, the most docile and good-tempered!
In order to destroy the half of Fengning Cavalry that pacified Liaodong and cut off Xiao Nanchen's retreat, he even colluded with the Yuan Dynasty and the Japanese pirates!
Even though we know that the people in this world today do not have as much hatred towards those Japanese pirates as in the world where Chen Ning lives, this kind of behavior is still despised!
Despicable and vicious, they disregarded the entire Liaodong military and civilian population in order to fight for power and profit, and handed them over to foreign enemies to be slaughtered...
How can we hand over the world to such a person!
Chen Ning's heart was filled with contempt and anger. She forced herself to hold her breath and retreated quietly, but just when she was halfway out, she heard the buzzing sound of a mechanism.
Chen Ning turned around and ran but was still a step too late. Xu Zhiyi came out and saw the figure in the rockery cave. His eyes turned slightly cold. He flew over like a ghost in an instant, raised his hand and grabbed the person by the neck.
Just as he was about to exert force, he suddenly saw that it was Shen Ning. The strength of his fingers suddenly loosened, and the murderous intent in his eyes turned into stunned silence.
"Ningning..."
Chen Ning cursed silently: I suffered the loss because I don’t know Qinggong.
She blinked and acted in pure surprise: "Uncle? Why are you..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Zhiyi covered her mouth with his hand and raised his finger to signal her to be quiet.
Shen Ning's heart moved slightly, and she immediately fell silent.
Xu Zhiyi dragged her out, but as soon as he took a step, his eyes changed slightly... Shen Ning also saw the figure appearing outside the cave, and then Xu Zhiyi pulled her hand and started to capture her.
He snorted and laughed: "Second Prince, look who I caught?"
Behind him, the second prince Xiao Nanrong walked out slowly… The moment he saw Shen Ning, complex emotions flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak.
Outside the cave, they were surrounded by several palace servants who were plain-looking but had an extraordinary aura. It was at this time that Yuan Yue and the others arrived.
"Your Majesty."
Yuan Yue stepped forward and saluted the Second Prince and Xu Zhiyi: "Second Prince, Third Master Xu, I am here to fetch the Prince..."
There was silence in the room. Then, Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Don't worry. The prince still has something to discuss with the Second Prince. You can go back first."
Shen Ning's response was to yell at the top of her lungs: "Help... The Second Prince has killed someone..."
No one expected that Chen Ning would yell like that without any warning or image. Xu Zhiyi hurriedly covered Chen Ning's mouth with his hand. The Second Prince was also stunned for a moment. At the same time, Yuan Yue and Er Yue attacked directly.
The Second Prince came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile. The unremarkable palace servant beside him went to meet Yuan Yue and the others... Then Shen Ning was horrified to see that when facing those palace servants, Yuan Yue and the others were actually being suppressed and beaten.
It was as if the other knew all of their moves.
Yuan Yue also realized something and gritted her teeth and said, "Poseidon Guard!"
One of them smiled and said, "Little Yuanyue... So you are still alive."
Shen Ning's heart sank suddenly. She realized that the Sea God Guards who were training killers that Yuan Yue and the others had mentioned... were actually the Second Prince Xiao Nanrong's men!
Yuanyue and his group escaped halfway. The people around Xiao Nanyong were obviously trained killers. Yuanyue and his group were no match for them at all.
Seeing that several people were being pushed into a corner step by step, but no one appeared around, Shen Ning realized that this place might have been sealed off.
Xiao Nanrong whispered, "I let Ningning come and go freely here, but why do you have to run around?"
He asked, "Did Ningning hear anything?"
Shen Ning opened her eyes wide: "Second Prince, can you speak?"
