The reborn princess is not a daughter

Several people walked through the rockery, went round and round, passed a forest, and finally stopped in front of a remote yard.

"It's already here." Wenxi stopped and said to the two: "Mr. Yunge, princess, please follow me."

Wenxi pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in first. Ning Cheng had been walking between Yun Ge and Wenxi. He glanced back, but he couldn't see the way he came from behind. Everything meant nothing to him. They are all so strange, where does this remote courtyard lead to?

"Princess?" Wenxi saw that Ning Cheng hadn't caught up with her for a long time, but when she turned around, she found that Ning Cheng was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

"I……"

"Princess, why are you still hesitating? Have you forgotten that you have no way out? I advise you to hurry up. Now is not the time to delay." Wenxi said coldly.

Ning Cheng's repetition made him even more impatient.

"Princess, are you worried that you will not be able to see your majesty again after entering this courtyard? I have said that after the matter is completed, the princess will be allowed to leave safely. I ask the princess to be patient for a while. Now, follow Wen Xi, let's go." Yun Ge who had been silent all this time also said.

Ning Cheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

The yard has been abandoned for a long time at first glance, and weeds are growing everywhere. Wenxi did not enter the main house when he entered the yard, but walked to the small pavilion on the west side of the yard. Wenxi groped for a while under the stone table in the pavilion. , Then there was a rumbling sound.

Ning Cheng looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that directly in front of the gazebo, the stairs that were originally paved with floor tiles began to slowly and slowly separate, and after a while, a passage appeared there.

From the outside, the inside was pitch-black, very eerie.

Wenxi should have been prepared, took out the fire book from his arms, and then lit the candle he brought.

Ning Cheng was still walking in the middle, so the three entered the passage one after the other, but soon the passage was closed, the sunlight was cut off from the passage, the gazebo returned to its original appearance, and everything around So quiet, it seems that no one has ever been to this place.

"Sir, join Your Majesty."

The man in the uniform of the commander of the guards knelt down and saluted Wei Zhen.

"How's the matter going? Have you found Wenxi's whereabouts?" Wei Zhen asked him as soon as he opened his mouth, waving his hand to get him up.

The commander of the guards shook his head and said nervously, "I have not found the whereabouts of Imperial Physician Wen."

"What!" Wei Zhen's face changed at that moment: "Have you searched all the places?"

The commander of the guards hesitated, and finally replied: "The place that should be searched, I and they have searched, and we really did not see Doctor Wen."

Isn't Wenxi here?

No, it's impossible, Wei Zhen thought, what he held in his hands was the fate of the entire Chengwang Mansion, how dare Concubine Cheng bet on the life and death of the entire Chengwang Mansion, Cheng Concubine would never dare, and it is impossible to do so of.

Now the entire other courtyard of Chengwang Mansion has been surrounded by officers and soldiers, Wenxi is already unable to fly, and now the people sent by Wei Zhen to search say that no one has been found, so there is only one possibility, Wenxi must be hiding in some secret passage in the other courtyard Woke up.

As for this secret passage, there is no way to find it for a while. When Wei Zhen thought of this, he couldn't help worrying a little more about Ning Cheng in his heart. What should he do to find Ning Cheng?

When Wei Zhen was in a state of desperation, Zhang Yuan, who had been guarding the camp, rode a maroon horse and galloped all the way to Chengwang Mansion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Zhang Yuan staggered off his horse.

"What's so flustered?" Wei Zhen rarely saw Zhang Yuan lose his composure and asked.

Zhang Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, concubine Cheng..."

"What happened to Concubine Cheng?"

"Concubine Cheng, she... has gone."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Wei Zhen carefully, not even daring to show his breath.

Wei Zhen was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "I am ashamed of her."

Back then, Concubine Cheng and Concubine Wenxi could have gotten married, but the late emperor intervened. In order to gain some momentum, Concubine Cheng was allowed to enter the palace and become the Prince Liangdi. As for Wei Zhen, in order to secure the position of Crown Prince, She didn't reject the marriage either, and accepted Concubine Cheng, who has since become one of the decorations in Wei Zhen's backyard.

Later, Wenxi couldn't restrain his feelings for Concubine Cheng, and went to great lengths to become an imperial physician, just hoping to meet Concubine Cheng a few times.The two loved ones met again after many years, and Concubine Cheng couldn't help herself, and did something that she regretted for the rest of her life.

She had an affair with Wenxi and had a child.

But in the final analysis, without the late emperor's interference, Concubine Cheng and Concubine Wenxi have been together legitimately for a long time, so Wei Zhen said that he was ashamed of Concubine Cheng.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Yuan called out worriedly.

"I'm fine." Wei Zhen said, "Where did you place Concubine Cheng?"

Zhang Yuan immediately replied: "This old slave dare not touch the concubine's phoenix body lightly. Now, the concubine's phoenix body is still in the original tent. What to do next is up to His Majesty to decide."

"In this case, you send someone to Chengwang's mansion and bring the news that Chengfei has gone." Wei Zhen ordered.

"This...Your Majesty, Concubine Cheng went by herself. If this old slave told King Cheng, would he... believe him?" Zhang Yuan hesitated.

"Just do as I said." Wei Zhen made a final decision, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to question again, after thinking about it, only Yuan Bao was the most suitable for this matter, and carefully told Yuan Bao the things that should be paid attention to , That's why Yuan Bao went to Cheng Wang's mansion.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do." Zhang Yuan said again just as the matter of Concubine Cheng was settled.

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the maid Lu Rui who pretended to be the concubine in the camp?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Didn't she be taken down for interrogation? Why, what did she say?"

"Your Majesty, this Lurui talked in a topsy-turvy way, but her bones were very hard. The old slave tortured her for a long time but she didn't find anything out. However, shortly after you left, she suddenly changed her words, saying that she knew that the concubine Defei had been killed. Where is Wenxi hiding, Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know what to do, so I can only bring her to His Majesty for disposal." Zhang Yuandao.

"She said she knew where Ning Cheng was?" Wei Zhen said in a deep voice.

"That's what Lu Rui said. I don't know if it's true or not. Does Your Majesty want to meet her in person?"

"Bring her here." Wei Zhen ordered after thinking about it.

Zhang Yuan asked the maid to bring Lu Rui up. She had already been tortured for a round, with bloodstains on her body, and her complexion looked very bad.

"You said you knew where Ning Cheng was hidden?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Lurui once followed Doctor Wen and saw him enter the secret passage. Now that His Majesty is here to search this place, Wenxi is cornered. She will definitely escape from the secret passage." Lurui replied with a tone of voice With full self-confidence.

"Oh? Are you so sure that I will believe you?"

"Your Majesty." Lu Rui showed her seductive smile again: "You can't find Wenxi and Princess Ningcheng now, except to trust Lu Rui. You have no other choice, right?"

"How can I trust such a capricious woman?" Wei Zhen glanced at Lu Rui with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "With my power, it will be a matter of time before I find them."

"Your Majesty, you are right. It is only a matter of time before you find Princess Ningcheng with your power, but don't forget, Your Majesty, things are impermanent. Can you guarantee that the Princess Ningcheng you took the trouble to find back is intact? Or Said, Your Majesty is really not worried about the safety of Princess Ningcheng? It is only for your so-called emperor's face that you have gone so hard to find Princess Ningcheng? Rui, close it again."

Wei Zhen was silent. Obviously, Lu Rui's words had shaken him.

Undoubtedly, Ning Cheng's safety is what Wei Zhen is most worried about. Now Wei Zhen can't find Wen Xi who took Ning Cheng away, and he can't get any news about Ning Cheng, which makes him very anxious.But this woman Lurui has two faces, Wei Zhen doesn't know what she wants to do, every word and deed of this woman is like a lie, Wei Zhen does not want to pin her hope of finding Ning Cheng on such a woman.

"Your Majesty?" Lu Rui said, "Do you still want to think about it? You must know that Princess Ningcheng cannot stand your long consideration."

Zhang Yuan, who had been standing beside Wei Zhen, only saw the king he had served for many years flick his sleeves, and his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice. Wei Zhen said to Lu Rui in a tone full of warning: " Well, I will trust you this time, but if you dare to deceive me..."

Wei Zhen didn't say the next words, but Zhang Yuan knew what he meant clearly. If Lurui really dared to deceive Wei Zhen with the safety of Ning Cheng, what she would face would not be as simple as the threat of death ...

When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

Lu Rui said softly: "I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."

Wei Zhen chose to believe in Lurui, and asked a group of guards to follow Lurui. Lurui led a group of guards around, passing the rockery, passing through the woods, and finally stopped in front of a remote yard.

"Your Majesty, this is it."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wei Zhen to answer, Lurui walked in first, as if she had seen how Wenxi opened the underground passage with her own eyes, she touched the pavilion familiarly, as Wenxi did, without any effort , opened the underground passage.

Wei Zhen stood in front of the dark passage, staring closely at it.

Ning Cheng, wait for me.
