Chapter 68 Shen Ningning, you helped me again.
I had the experience of being thrown out before, so that when Shen Ningning took Mo Lingwei's jade pendant and went to the entrance of the palace, she was still sweating.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the little guy's face was tanned into a red apple.
There was a hint of timidity in those watery black eyes.
She walked to the gate of the imperial city and said to the guards: "Brothers, I want to enter the palace to find the prince."
The guards looked down and looked serious.
Shen Ningning was afraid of being thrown out as a little beggar again, so she quickly took out the tourmaline jade pendant.
"This is what the prince's brother gave me. He asked me to come to him if I have anything to do!"
The imperial guard looked at him majestically and said, "Wait here."
After saying this, he whispered a few words to his colleagues and then turned around and went in. palace gate.
Shen Ningning felt dizzy from the sun, and sweat rolled down her fair forehead.
On the other hand, those Imperial Guards, in addition to their inner clothes, also wore heavy armor, and everyone was sweating profusely.
Even if beads of sweat dripped into his eyes, he remained motionless.
Shen Ningning blinked her eyes lightly, feeling impressed.
After a while, someone came quickly.
"Miss Shen?" It was Chen Shaobei's voice.
When Shen Ningning saw the familiar person, she smiled sweetly and said, "Bei..."
Wait!
Brother Prince said, you can't call me Brother Bei.
To call him by his full name...
Chen Shaobei had already walked in front of her. Seeing the little guy's hesitation, a chuckle appeared on his indifferent face.
"No need to say hello. Are you looking for His Highness the Crown Prince? I will take you in."
He happened to be in the palace today. He heard the report from the imperial army and came to pick up Shen Ningning.
The little guy followed Chen Shaobei to Zichen Palace.
"His Royal Highness happened to be discussing something. He doesn't know you are here yet. You sit in the side hall and wait." Chen Shaobei nodded to the Crown Prince's personal guards and took Shen Ningning in easily.
There are waterwheels and ice mirrors placed in the side hall, and the coolness is leisurely.
The maid quickly served melon and fruit refreshments.
Shen Ningning held the sliced snow pear in her hands and said, "Thank you...Brother Chen Shaobei."
She still shouted this secretly.
Chen Shaobei raised his eyebrows, smiled, and turned around to go out.
There was no one else in the side hall, and Shen Ningning enjoyed the cool breeze and enjoyed the pear meat comfortably.
suddenly!
An angry voice came from the next door: "No one in the group is useful!"
The little guy trembled in fright and quickly hugged the plate tightly.
Shen Ningning heard Mo Lingwei's voice and guessed that he had a headache because of something.
So I put down the plate, leaned against the wall gently, and listened to the movement on the other side.
The counselor endured the prince's anger and knelt on the ground to complain.
"Your Highness, those bandits are hiding in the mountains. Every time we move, it seems like someone has tipped us off. They can always predict in advance and escape."
"Wei Chen suspects that someone in the palace is their accomplice, the bandit. There must be high-ranking officials protecting you when it comes to robbing food for disaster relief!"
Mo Lingwei's eyes were dark: "How could I not know? But if you can't catch someone, how can I try him?"
Someone suggested: "Your Highness, it must be the Sixth Prince's side. They can't catch the trouble themselves, and they won't allow you, Your Highness, to make meritorious deeds."
"Wei Chen thinks that we might as well attack the east and west, so that the Sixth Prince's plan can fail."
Mo Lingwei stared at his thoughts for a while, and he was about to speak.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the side hall next door!
Immediately afterwards, there was the crackling sound of broken porcelain.
"Who is over there?" The eunuch suddenly raised his voice.
Mo Lingwei's eyes were cold and stern, and he ordered: "Go and see who it is and bring him here."
How dare anyone dare to listen to the corner? Don't you want to live anymore?
Not a moment.
The limp Shen Ningning was escorted over.
Mo Lingwei's stern eyes suddenly froze. Why is it her? !
Shen Ningning lay on the ground, with big eyes like a frightened deer, looking around at the tall and serious ministers.
The momentum of these uncles is so impressive!
The little guy quickly said, "Brother Chen Shaobei said he was busy, so he took me to the side hall."
"I accidentally knocked over the shelf just now. I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation..."
She just pressed against the wall . After listening to the noise for a while, when he was about to sit back down, his little feet tripped on the carpet.
Immediately afterwards, she bumped into a treasure rack nearby.
Shen Ningning had already hurriedly tried to help her, but her strength was too weak, and her small body was pressed down by the multi-treasure frame.
A few pieces of porcelain were also broken.
If the guards hadn't come over and pulled her out from under the shelf, she would have been lying on the ground for who knows how long.
Her pretty pink face was full of apology.
Chen Shaobei also rushed over after hearing the news.
He entered and took one look at Shen Ningning, then knelt on the ground and said, "I have taken my humble duty to take Miss Shen to the side hall, and then I will arrange for the arrest of the bandit."
Mo Lingwei's expression had returned to his normal expression.
He looked at the little guy: "It's okay, I just broke some porcelain. Are you okay?"
Shen Ningning stood up, patted her little skirt, and shook her head obediently: "It's okay..."
Mo Lingwei sighed: "You go to the side hall and wait for me for a while. I will come to you when I finish the discussion."
Shen Ningning immediately left obediently.
Mo Lingwei then ordered Chen Shaobei: "Bring her some refreshments."
Chen Shaobei cupped his hands and said: "Everything has been arranged."
Mo Lingwei then asked him to step aside.
The surrounding ministers looked puzzled and looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out who this little girl who suddenly appeared was His Royal Highness?
Why does he look so familiar?
When talking about business, Mo Lingwei's eyes became cold again: "To catch the bandits, we can't mobilize troops. We should find another way to let them fall into a trap."
At this moment.
Chen Shaobei went to next door and hurried back with a serious look on his face.
"Your Highness, the palace servants found this when they were cleaning the pile of porcelain." He handed a straw man over with both hands.
When the ministers saw it, they all took a deep breath.
It was about the size of a straw man's palm, covered with silver needles, and had a note attached with a birth date written on it.
"We are tired of winning!" The counselor frowned.
Since ancient times, Yasheng has been banned by emperors of all dynasties because it is the most vicious witchcraft curse.
Anyone in the palace who practices the art of aversion to victory will eventually be severely punished, ranging from exile to death.
Mo Lingwei lowered his eyes coldly and said, "It's Mo Changgong's horoscope."
The courtiers were shocked.
"This is a frame-up!"
"Someone deliberately put the straw man into the porcelain."
Of course Mo Lingwei knew.
If Shen Ningning hadn't accidentally knocked down the shelf, this straw man might have been discovered one day and become one of the powerful evidences for his persecution of the Sixth Prince.
"Send this directly to Father." Mo Lingwei ordered.
Right or wrong, so many people here saw it, and it had nothing to do with him.
At this point, he asked his advisers to retreat and went to the side hall instead.
Shen Ningning sat on the couch, her feet swaying slightly.
Seeing Mo Lingwei's figure, she quickly stood up and held the hem of her skirt with her little hands, feeling very nervous.
There was a hint of self-blame in that delicate and juicy little face.
She only knew that she had broken something, and when she saw Chen Shaobei taking away a straw man with a serious expression, she thought she had broken something very important.
"Brother, I..."
Before Shen Ningning could finish speaking, Mo Lingwei had already walked up to her.
Suddenly, he spoke with such profound meaning that the little guy froze in place.
"Shen Ningning, you helped me again."
