In an instant, Lin Wanwan's originally calm eyes were full of shock, with a hint of worry, "The Queen Mother is saying that Prince Lu has been kidnapped?"
At the same time, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but secretly think to herself, no wonder the Queen Mother was so angry, and no wonder the palace people she saw outside just now looked nervous. Even the guarding imperial troops were suddenly mobilized and withdrawn. It seemed that He should be looking for Luo Huai Zhou.
But who on earth would have the courage to take such a risk and kidnap the prince of the dynasty? What is the purpose of doing this?
Although Luo Huaizhou had no real power, he was Emperor Dehui's brother and the Empress Dowager's favorite son. If he wanted to kidnap him, he should at least consider the consequences of offending the royal family.
Furthermore, when Luo Huaizhou travels, he is always surrounded by guards. She has observed that the martial arts of these guards are not low. It is not easy to kidnap people under their noses, unless they are extremely high in martial arts. A master, or a group of extremely vicious people. However, Luo Huaizhou had no contact with these two types of people on weekdays. From this, it can be seen that these people are most likely entrusted by others or hired by others.
The person behind the scenes asked Luo Huaizhou to be kidnapped. Was his purpose to threaten the royal family, or had he had a grudge against Luo Huaizhou and wanted to take revenge?
But Luo Huaizhou's temperament has always been pure and open-minded. Although he is a prince, he never uses his status to pressure others, and he has never heard of anyone he had a grudge against...
Lin Wanwan's thoughts changed rapidly, and her eyes suddenly froze.
Wait, get grudges...
Lin Wanwan suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, they had met Hua Yanzhi, the son of the left prime minister, on the street, and they ended up having a bad fight. Before the man left, there was a trace of hatred in his eyes, and he seemed to want to Waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, could it be that Hua Yanzhi found someone to abduct Luo Huaizhou?
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan frowned, a solemn look suddenly flashed across her eyes, and asked slightly anxiously: "When did this happen? Can the Queen Mother tell the daughter of the people where Prince Lu was kidnapped?" Leaving?"
During this period, she rarely met Luo Huaizhou, and she really didn't know where he had gone. The top priority was to rescue Luo Huaizhou as soon as possible, but now that she was in the palace, she could only find a way to learn about Luo Huaizhou from the Queen Mother. There may be some clues about the time and place before the disappearance.
"Stop being so pretentious. You must have something to do with Zhou'er being kidnapped. Why don't you tell the truth quickly?!"
Seeing the concerned look on her face, the Queen Mother immediately thought that she had a guilty conscience and became even more angry. She stared at Lin Wanwan with a pair of eyes, as if she wanted to skin her and cut her into pieces.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although the Queen Mother repeatedly made things difficult for her, she still loved her son dearly. After hearing the news, she was also worried about Luo Huaizhou's safety and really didn't want to argue with her.
She didn't know if Su Jin was still staying in Zhuangzi at this time. She suddenly remembered that Su Jin had mentioned to her that he had a secret guard beside Luo Huaizhou and had been secretly protecting Luo Huaizhou. If this was true, he You should know about this soon, and you will definitely find a way to save Luo Huaizhou.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan regained her composure for a moment. She looked at the Queen Mother with a magnanimous and upright gaze, and spoke without restraint: "I wonder what the Queen Mother hopes to hear from the people's daughter? The people's daughter also just found out about this. , I’m afraid I can’t give you the answer the Queen Mother wants.”
Whether it was Hua Yanzhi or not, Luo Huaizhou's disappearance could not be blamed on Hua Yanzhi based on mere speculation before there was conclusive evidence. Not to mention whether the Queen Mother would believe it or not, even if the Queen Mother really had suspicions in her heart, the Hua family was so powerful that before there was any real evidence, the Queen Mother would definitely have concerns, and in the end she would only blame herself for slandering Hua Yanzhi in order to escape guilt. Put all the blame and anger on yourself. By then, she will be involved in the two major forces of the royal family and the Hua family, making it more difficult to escape.
As Lin Wanwan finished speaking, the Queen Mother's face became increasingly gloomy, and her eyes stared at her coldly, as if trying to see a flaw in her expression.
In an instant, the aura around the Queen Mother suddenly became fierce, and a powerful pressure poured down from her body. She was so angry that she laughed and said: "Just found out? The Ai family sees that you don't shed tears without seeing the coffin. Who is coming - —”
"Empress Dowager, no." Before the Queen Mother could finish her words, she was stopped by Pei Rong who was standing aside.
She immediately stepped forward, bowed and whispered in the Queen Mother's ear: "If this matter is really related to her, touching her at this time is tantamount to touching the prince. Please think twice."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes moved, and she clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand tightly. Then she waved away the palace attendants who had been summoned into the palace, and turned to glare at Lin Wanwan with an incomprehensible look in her cold and stern eyes. Hate.
After Pei Rong finished speaking, she turned to look at Lin Wanwan. There was a hint of worry in her slightly anxious eyes, and there was also a hint of probing.
"Your Majesty was originally praying for the Queen Mother in the temple outside the city these past two days, but just last night, a group of bandits suddenly broke into the temple and fought with the guards brought by Your Majesty. In the end, they killed Your Majesty in the chaos. Taken away."
As Pei Rong spoke, she couldn't help but frown, the look of worry between her brows gradually getting thicker, and then she persuaded: "Miss Yue Wan, the prince treats you well. If you know something, please tell the Queen Mother, so as not to Suffering from the flesh.”
Pei Rong's words were full of temptation and admonishment. Lin Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little funny. The two masters and servants, one was a good person and the other was a bad person, it was quite a good show.
Lin Wanwan shook her head in her mind, her thoughts changed, and she lowered her eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
Temple and bandits, these two words put together look like a conspiracy. She had heard a little bit about the royal temple outside Nanling City. She heard that it was heavily guarded and only royal family members could go in to offer incense and pray for blessings. However, Luo Huaizhou was kidnapped by bandits here. This shows that this group of Not only are the bandits numerous in number, but their weapons must also be very sophisticated. Not only that, there may even be people in the temple who are secretly colluding with them.
Bandits have always aimed at robbing money. No matter how magnificent the royal temple is, it is just a temple. If they are just looking for money, such large-scale and well-armed bandits are more than enough to rob powerful and wealthy businessmen. Enter the heavily guarded royal temple? There must be someone carefully planning behind this.
The person behind the scenes can not only command the bandits, but also insert his own people in the imperial temple. With such power in Nanling City, he is not afraid of offending the royal family. I don’t need to guess who is behind this power. .
But looking at this method, it doesn't look like it was done by Hua Yanzhi. Hua Yanzhi is just a arrogant and lustful playboy. It is impossible to carry out such a careful layout. There must be someone else behind it. But, why did the person behind the scenes do this, and what was the real intention of kidnapping Luo Huaizhou?
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan gathered her thoughts, looked past Pei Rong, and landed directly on the Queen Mother. She asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "May I ask the Queen Mother, why are you so sure that this matter is related to the daughter of the people? What evidence is there?"
