The queen sent people into the Zhu Mansion and found the courtyard where Chu Lingfeng lived, but did not find Chu Lingfeng.
In a small courtyard across the street from the Zhu Mansion, Mo Zifan frowned.
Soon after, Wen Liang came to the yard.
"Sister Wolf, what happened?" Mo Zifan hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
Wen Liang looked solemn and said, "The Queen's men have stayed in the master's courtyard to guard it. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the master to escape."
Mo Zifan cursed under his breath a few times and said angrily: "Who leaked the news? Is there a traitor among us?" Only his own people knew about Master Chu's whereabouts in the mansion.
Besides, even fewer people know that the master is pretending to be sick!
Why did the Queen suddenly send people to break into the mansion, saying that she wanted to look for Master Chu and that she wanted to visit the master again, and now she refuses to leave!
"This is house arrest in disguise!" Mo Zifan kicked the pebbles under his feet, and he was so angry that he was about to explode.
The master is pretending to be sick and is not really sick, but if he is under house arrest like this, he will really stay sick forever.
Otherwise, you will have to marry the princess when you wake up.
What about Madam Su? All her plans would be ruined!
Mo Zifan was extremely worried. He looked at Wen Liang and Chu Lingfeng. The two of them had the same expression, calm and composed, without any confusion at all.
"Aren't you two worried or anxious?" he asked puzzledly.
Wen Liang nodded: "Worried, anxious."
"Yeah." Chu Lingfeng also nodded.
Mo Zifan rolled his eyes speechlessly. He really couldn't see anything at all!
It was not a solution for the three of them to stay here. Wen Liang and Mo Zifan, as Zhu Yunxi's personal bodyguards, naturally had to hurry back to Zhu Mansion. If these two were not there, it would only arouse the Queen's suspicion.
"Master Chu, why don't you and Twelve go to the Third Prince first? With him here, the Queen won't be able to take you away so easily."
Chu Lingfeng nodded and left the courtyard with Twelve.
Then Mo Zifan and Wen Liang also left. They had to rush back to the Zhu Mansion to take care of the "seriously ill" Zhu Yunxi.
-
East Palace.
Jing Qingrong was sitting in front of the table in thick clothes, with two charcoal braziers burning beside him, but his face was still pale and looked cold.
The queen is a member of the Jing family and is Jing Qingrong's aunt. The prince and he are cousins.
"Qingrong, we haven't found anyone in the Zhu Mansion, and Yunxi is still seriously ill and bedridden." The prince said to Jing Qingrong. This was the news that had just been sent back.
Jing Qingrong was not surprised. After all, the scene of Chu Lingfeng being found had never appeared in his dreams.
He just wanted to ruin Zhu Yunxi's plan of feigning illness.
"Maybe the person who gave me the information was lying to me. Cousin Prince, I'm really sorry that your efforts were in vain." Jing Qingrong spoke softly, and his weak and haggard appearance made people feel uncomfortable.
The prince has no close relationship with his royal brothers. He has gotten along better with his cousin Jing Qingrong since childhood. After all, there is no competition between the two. On the contrary, the Jing family has always supported the prince.
Of course, the fact that the Jing family has always been the richest family in Dongling Kingdom is also closely related to the Queen and her other two brothers.
However, the family relationships of the Jing family are also very complicated. Jing Qingrong's father does not have a close relationship with the brothers of the two prime ministers of the current dynasty. The queen is considered a link between the two family forces.
The prince was someone who was strongly supported by both sides, so both the queen and the prince were very kind to the Jing family, including Jing Qingrong, so the prince did not blame or doubt Jing Qingrong at all.
"It's not necessarily that the information you received was wrong. Perhaps someone else got wind of it first."
