The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

Ning Rongzhang sighed softly, "Asan, continue investigating."

"Yes."

The leader in black felt a little embarrassed for a moment. The man he had been chasing for so long finally became his master. Just as he was hesitating, Ning Rongzhang's lips curled up with a smile. This surprise out of nowhere must be seized.

"Since this tiger talisman is in my hand, I have the audacity to ask, what is the current situation of Hydra?"

It is embarrassing to say that Hydra has been hiding since the reign of Emperor Taizu. Due to its insufficient income, it has not been able to make any contact with the palace. It has been wandering around the world for so many years. As long as they find any news about the other princes, they will take action.

After telling Ning Rongzhang all this, the latter smiled calmly, "If that's the case, why didn't you show up when Prince Wu was rebelling?"

What we are asking is precision.

The two things the black-clad leader least wanted to mention in his life were that he failed to stop Prince Wu from entering the capital, and that he failed to assassinate Ning Rongzhang successfully.

So he said in annoyance, "Originally our people had a chance to take action, but we don't know when you defected to Prince Wu, and the various garrison forces suddenly increased. We can only wait and see what happens and make plans later."

Guarding a foolish king?

Wei Zheng was so sleepy that he yawned repeatedly. He only heard Ning Rongzhang ask very energetically, "So, you are loyal to Ning Huaixuan? The current emperor?"

The men in black all swallowed and thought, what kind of question is this that will get them killed?

"No... Hydra was founded by Emperor Taizu himself. All of us are only loyal to Emperor Taizu."

"But Emperor Taizu is dead."

Ning Rongzhang still refused to give in.

The black-clad leader carefully looked at his expression. After all, the man in front of him was the one who was most likely to inherit the throne. He swallowed nervously, thinking over and over again, and finally said, "The token is proof."

They will naturally obey whoever holds the tiger talisman.

As if he had finally heard an answer that satisfied him, Ning Rongzhang waved his hand, "Xiao Qi, take them down."

After the person left, Wei Zheng gathered his outer robe and said, "Did you succeed in bringing the person back?"

"You also heard that they only recognize the tiger talisman. The remaining half of the tiger talisman must be found as soon as possible." Ning Rongzhang was thinking in his mind, when Emperor Taizu passed away, besides Princess Wuhua, to which prince would the tiger talisman be passed on?

Suddenly, Wei Zheng said, "You asked Ah San to secretly search the residences of so many princes, but have you ever thought that Emperor Taizu might have passed the remaining half of the tiger talisman to the late Prince Changyou?"

A cold current instantly passed through his body, with a slight shudder. Ning Rongzhang's eyes changed instantly, and he said with hostility, "Impossible, how could he pass the tiger talisman to my father?"

"Why is it impossible?"

It happened too long ago, but Ning Rongzhang knew that his nominal grandfather did not actually love his grandmother. After his grandmother died early, he sent his young father to the western border. So many years passed, and they never met again.

Sometimes when Ning Rongzhang woke up in the middle of the night, he wanted to question him harshly. The successor he personally chose had turned the Dali Dynasty into this state. If he knew about it in his afterlife, would he regret it?

Ji Mengshu, who had seen everything, hesitated and said, "The Emperor Taizu recorded in history books was indeed a rare wise ruler. It is rumored that after the death of Empress Taizu, Emperor Taizu personally kept vigil for three days before burying her in the imperial mausoleum..."

"How could he be a good match for the Empress Dowager?" Ning Rongzhang clenched his fists and thought about how his father had spent his childhood. When he was young, the old housekeeper in the mansion would always repeat over and over again that those were owed to them by the late emperor.

Emperor Taizu betrayed his grandmother, and within the palace, that woman still sat on the throne of the Grand Empress Dowager.

How ironic.

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, the result is often beyond one's expectations. Since the half of the tiger talisman is in Princess Wuhua's hands, the other half may also be in an unexpected place." Ji Mengshu still tried to comfort him. Although he knew that Ning Rongzhang hated Emperor Taizu very much, he never thought that he had spent half his life under the shadow of his great grandmother and father.

His parents died young, and no one taught him how to reconcile with the past.

Only by groping and exploring step by step can I grow into what I am now.

Ning Rongzhang frowned and said, "Forget it, I will go to Western Xinjiang myself."

-

It seems that I can only spend the New Year in Xinjiang.

Ji Mengshu had written a letter to his parents who were still in his hometown of Fan Yang a long time ago, telling them not to worry.

Just when he was about to leave in a few days, Prince Huai got the news from somewhere, and he insisted on having a good reunion with his nephew before leaving.

Wei Zheng, the Ji brothers and sisters, and Prince Changyou attended the banquet together, so no one was left out.

Prince Huai had already revealed at the last banquet that he would support Prince Changyou in attacking Kyoto, but there has been no news since then, and no one knows what Ning Rongzhang himself thinks.

In order to find out Ning Rongzhang's intentions, he had to invite someone else over.

Zhenzhou has been very lively recently. Prince Huai personally stood at the gate of the palace to greet him. "Ah, my dear nephew, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you seem to have lost some weight? Is it because the food in Zhenzhou is not to your liking? Then how about I invite a few chefs from Western Xinjiang?"

Seeing such an affectionate tone, people who don’t know the situation would think that the relationship between these “uncle and nephew” is very close.

Wei Zheng secretly gave him a thumbs up and whispered to him, "You haven't even married the daughter of the royal palace yet, but you're getting along well with your future father-in-law."

"Uncle, you are too polite." Ning Rongzhang smiled faintly, then pulled Wei Zheng over and introduced, "This is my good friend, King Dongzhi's...nephew."

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth, suspecting with reason and evidence that this was Ning Rongzhang's revenge.

Ji Yuanzheng followed suit and bowed slightly, seeming not to be interested in revealing his name.

"I wonder what King Changyou thinks?"

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. However, the risk of going to the capital is too great, and I really don't want to drag you down with me." He said this with great sincerity, as if he was truly thinking about him.

Prince Huai sneered a few times, "My dear nephew, isn't it a little late for you to say that?"

He had cut off communication with the Luanzhou tribe. Now they each had the leverage over each other in their hands. It was no exaggeration to say that they were in the same boat. What was wrong with becoming closer relatives?

Furong and Xiaotan had been waiting long ago. Even in the cold winter, they were dressed in luxurious clothes with precious pearls and gold hairpins, and their beauty could still be seen under their cloaks.
