Chapter 158 A few happy families and a few sad families
The emperor did not come forward and asked the prince to release the people. Even if Helian Mochuan wanted to rescue Ning Wan, he was blocked back so painlessly.
The prince's speech was very official. He explained to Helian Mochuan in a leisurely manner: "The emperor wants to see the eldest daughter of the Ning family. I'm sorry that my nephew cannot obey! This matter is the order of the emperor himself. If he resists the order,
But he will be beheaded."
Ning Wan was sent to prison by the emperor's order. Helian Mochuan wanted to see the emperor but was rejected. Wanting to see Ning Wan was even more impossible. He knew that the prince was perfunctory, and the one who really embarrassed him was actually the emperor.
.
"Your Majesty, are we really not going to save Miss Ning?" Leng Li was anxious. If it weren't for Ning Wan, she would have been silenced by Prince Helian Zhao.
Helian Mochuan had never wanted to save Ning Wan, but now that he was facing the emperor, this matter could not be ignored simply.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, someone appeared in the carriage.
"Your Majesty!"
Su Feng was dressed in night clothes. Although Helian Mochuan entered the palace alone, he was actually protected by Su Feng secretly. This is also the reason why Leng Li was left in the Ministry of Punishment. In fact, it was to protect Ning Wan.
Now that the emperor has locked up people, Helian Mochuan cannot use his power rashly, or even participate in this matter at all.
"Check secretly to see where Miss Ning is being held."
Su Feng nodded and left quietly, while Zisu and others who followed Ning Wan became even more anxious.
"Sister Zisu, what are we going to do! The young lady is locked up now, how can we save her?" Several maids, only Zisu and Baizhu had some strategies, Zisu looked at Baizhu.
Bai Shu then said: "I will go to the palace to see where the lady is! Don't get confused, go to Wangyue Tower and wait for news!"
When the Duke's Mansion learned that Ning Wan had been captured by the emperor and imprisoned, Ning Qingyuan was so happy that he reached out and patted his thigh.
"Good lock, good lock. This evil girl should have been locked up and beheaded a long time ago!"
The housekeeper looked at Ning Qingyuan, who was looking happy, and said: "My lord, what should I do with Aunt Yang and the second young lady? They were sent back by people from the Ministry of Punishments and are now seriously injured. Aunt Yang sent someone to ask for help from my lord.
Please go and ask the imperial doctor to treat your aunt!"
If it had been in the past, Ning Qingyuan would have gone to ask for the imperial doctor without Aunt Yang asking. But now, Aunt Yang was slapped by the Ministry of Punishment for falsely accusing Ning Wan, which can be said to have brought disgrace to the Duke's office.
In addition, it was a female family member who appeared in public. Even if she went out, she would probably make her colleagues laugh. So why would Ning Qingyuan use the palace's reputation to hire an imperial doctor because of such a woman?
"Auntie, seeing an imperial doctor is against the ancestral rules. Just go to the street and hire a doctor. Spend a little more money and hire the best one." The housekeeper nodded, found someone to hire a doctor for Auntie Yang, and stopped talking to her.
Aunt Yang's side. The servants of the Duke's Mansion are the most attuned to the situation. When Aunt Yang was favored, everyone went to curry favor with her. Who dares to go there now?
Although Zisu and others did not return to the Duke's Mansion, she knew every move inside. After learning about Aunt Yang's fate, Zisu had some thoughts.
"If the young lady is not here, the Duke of Guo will definitely take the opportunity to take back the property in the hands of the young lady. Wangyue Tower will probably bear the brunt!" No matter how powerful Zisu is, she is just a slave. If the Duke of Guo comes to ask for Wangyue Tower, she may really do it.
Can't stop it.
"Then what should we do, sister Zisu, please think of a way! If the Duke of Wangyue Tower wants to leave, won't all the hard work that the young lady has put in for so long have been in vain?"
Of course Zisu knew, but she was just a maid after all, how could she stop the Duke?
"For the present plan, we can only give it a try! Angelica, go to the Prince Regent's Mansion!"
Angelica nodded, but still said hesitantly: "Sister Zisu, why don't you go to the Nine Princes' Mansion?"
Zi Su said with a stern face: "If the regent is unwilling to help the young lady, we will be prepared to live and die with the young lady this time! The young lady has treated me with great kindness, and we cannot let the young lady's kindness as a master and servant go down!"
The three people had firm eyes, and it had to be said that Ning Wan had trained a few useful people.
At this moment, Ning Wan was locked in the dungeon. Even though it was already bright outside, it was still dark here.
With her eyes closed, Ning Wan could feel the sounds of everything around her. Although this place was dark, there were many things inside, and Ning Wan could also feel that there was a pair of eyes looking at her from the opposite side.
Probably because he's been in the dark for too long, those eyes look glowing green, a bit like the eyes of a wolf. Just looking at each other can penetrate your soul.
"Your Excellency has been watching me for half an hour. Do you have any advice?"
Ning Wan suddenly opened her eyes and looked into those green eyes. In the darkness, her eyes were shining brightly, which made people feel terrified.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Ning Wan was confused by what he said and asked: "Should I be afraid of you? We have no grievances, so why should we be afraid of saying it?"
