"Your Majesty! The Third Prince asked for a meeting!"

A sound suddenly came!

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

Emperor Jiawen frowned:

"Just say that I am busy with something now, let him go to the Imperial Study room to wait!"

Eunuch Min wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"Your Majesty, the third prince said that he should remember the matter and must see you immediately!"

Emperor Jiawen's face became even more ugly, and he suddenly slapped the table:

"He is becoming more and more presumptuous!"

The incidents of the past two days have already made him feel irritated, but Rong Jiu also came to join in the fun.

During his time in the imperial capital, he has been quite obedient and self-stakes. Why did he suddenly do this?

Eunuch Min shrank for a moment, and she was in tears:

"Your Majesty, the third prince said that he came today for... it was for the Fourth Princess..."

"oh?"

Emperor Jiawen was a little surprised and frowned.

"He and Zhenzhen have never had much contact...what happened today?"

The queen beside her felt a little "sudden" and a hint of uneasiness emerged.

The last time Rong Jin was under house arrest was because Rong Jiu filed a lawsuit in front of His Majesty. Today he came, I don’t know what he had to do again!

She advised with some concern:

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. It is better to try not to make a big deal about Zhenzhen's disappearance, right? Whether it is the royal family or Zhenzhen, the investigation and handling of the local area is better... If the third prince is mixed in again, it is probably difficult to deal with..."

Emperor Jiawen thought for a moment, but shook his head:

"Rong Jiu has always been calm in character. Since he dares to come, he must really know something."

As he said that, he raised his hand to Eunuch Min.

"Let him in."

"yes!"

Eunuch Min hurriedly went outside the hall and asked Rong Jiu to come in.

The queen bit her lip secretly, and somehow she became even more nervous.

Soon, Rong Jiu walked in with great strides.

He has been fighting on the battlefield all year round. Although he is only twenty years old this year, he is younger than Rong Jin, but he is strong and has a strong aura all over his body.

Although she was wearing a brocade robe, she still couldn't hide the evil spirit of the generals on her body.

That is the aura that only comes with life and death fighting on the battlefield.

Rong Jiu's eyes swept through the hall quickly and stayed on the queen for a moment.

The queen's heart was beating when he saw it, and she quickly turned her eyes away.

"My son has met his father and mother."

Rong Jiu stood in the hall, clasped his fists and saluted Emperor Jiawen and the Queen.

Emperor Jiawen didn't go around the corner and asked straight to the point:

"There is no need to be particular about these vain rituals. You said before, you know some news about Rong Zhen, but it is true?"

Rong Jiu nodded:

"This is why my son asked to see my father today."

Emperor Jiawen sat upright:

"Speak quickly!"

Rong Jiu's eyes fell on Chu Ning:

"My son was outside before, and heard that his father seemed to be planning to imprison Lord Chu Ning?"

Emperor Jiawen didn't understand why, but did not deny it: "Yes."

Rong Jiu shook his head:

"My father must not do this. You are like this, but you have wronged Lord Chu Ning! My son can confirm that Lord Chu Ning has nothing to do with this matter!"

As soon as he said that, not only Emperor Jiawen and Empress, but even Chu Ning looked shocked.

This... Rong Jiu came, was he talking for him?

Chu Ning quickly recalled it in his mind that he didn't seem to have much interaction with this third prince...

In this crisis, whoever involves it will be troublesome, others will avoid it, how can he?

"Rong Jiu, do you know what you are talking about?"

Emperor Jiawen's expression became serious in an instant, and his voice was full of majesty.

Rong Jiu's expression remains unchanged:

"My son knows. In fact, it's not just Lord Chu Ning, but even Chu Liuyue has nothing to do with this matter."

The queen finally couldn't hold back:

"Third Prince, do you know that Lu Yun has found Zhenzhen's hairpin in Chu Ning's home! The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied! Why are you talking to his father and daughter like this now??"

Rong Jiu showed a meaningful smile on his face, looked at the queen and said slowly:

"Empress, was that hairpin really fallen from Rong Zhen in Lord Chu Ning's house?"

The queen's heart suddenly jumped:

"You, what did you say!?"

"I heard that Lord Lu Yun brought people to search at that time, and Lord Chu Ning's family... As we all know, after severing relations with the Chu family, Lord Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue and his daughter lived in the new house, and even the servants were not invited. During the search, Lord Chu Ning was the only one who was there.

If someone deliberately took the hairpin over and lied that it was found there, who could find it? Even if Lord Chu Ning has three heads and six arms, he is afraid he can't stare at everyone, right?"

Emperor Jiawen's expression changed slightly.

What Rong Jiu said is not unreasonable.

The queen's hand tightened the armrests of the chair:

"The Third Prince, this hairpin was found in the backyard. Many guards at that time could testify. Could it be that they were all lying?"

Rong Jiu paused and suddenly asked:

"Empress, I wonder if the hairpin you have on hand is the one you found at Chu Ning's house?"

The queen was so nervous that she was talking about it that when she heard him ask this, she nodded unconsciously.

"Yes, that's it."

"That's it."

The expression on Rong Jiu's face became more intriguing.

"This hairpin is exquisite and gorgeous, and very eye-catching. Even if Erchen stands here, he can still see it at a glance from such a distance. I wonder if Lord Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue are blind, so they can't see the hairpin and deliberately leave it in the courtyard."

The queen retorted in a panic: "Maybe, maybe it was Chu Liuyue who was too panic at that time, so she didn't notice it? After all, the courtyard is very large, and she couldn't see it in every corner-"

"Empress, what you just said is that this hairpin was found in the backyard, and many guards have seen it with their own eyes. Why are you talking about every corner now?"

Rong Jiuyun's calm and gentle words made the queen stop abruptly.

The entire hall suddenly fell into a dead silence!

Chu Ning's expression was slightly condensed:

"Your Majesty, I was in the front yard and the guards were in the back yard. I did not see them finding the hairpin."

Emperor Jiawen stared at the queen, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"Queen, what else do you want to say?"

"I am just a sudden loss!" The queen hurriedly stood up and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace, never went out, nor saw the scene at that time, so naturally I don't know what was going on. I just had just a mistake in my tongue!"

Rong Jiu glanced at her faintly, smiling.

"Empress, it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with you?"

"Of course not! Zhenzhen is my daughter. Now that she is missing, I am naturally most anxious!"

A trace of resentment flashed in the queen's eyes.

Now she could see that Rong Jiu came today and planned to completely pull her into the water!

She raised her head and looked at Emperor Jiawen anxiously:
Chapter completed!
