The Empress Dowager

Chapter 126 Arrested ([-])

"Mother, why? Why don't you tell daddy to sever ties with this wild girl?" Nangong Lin suggested.

"Lin'er, don't panic. The current queen is your mother's sister, your aunt. She has been kind to you since she was a child. I believe that she will not let us suffer." Jiang patted Nangong Lin's hand and gave her A reassuring look signaled her to rest assured.

"That's good." Nangong Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she regretted entering the palace and told the empress about Nangong Yue's words. She cursed secretly for not living up to expectations.

"I reckon that those officers and soldiers are about to arrive..."

"Mother, Nangong Yue should be in the academy at this time, right?"

"I just heard from my servant that Nangong Yue didn't seem to be there today. I don't know what she's doing in Linglong Courtyard now?" Jiang frowned, knowing that he was going to be imprisoned, and he was arrested honestly?

Dongmei ran from outside in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good, Second Miss, there are a lot of officers and soldiers coming outside."

"Officers and soldiers?" When Murong Jun fell ill yesterday, the queen did not let anyone arrest her on the spot, but today she sent officers and soldiers. Could it be that the queen is afraid that Murong Jun will be angry?Or is someone interfering with it?

"Yes, Second Miss, many officers and soldiers are coming to Linglong Courtyard, Second Miss, what do you think should I do?" Seeing Nan Gongyue's calm face, Dongmei became more anxious, Second Miss is so nice, How could you offend someone?There are so many officers and soldiers here, did they make a mistake?
"Dongmei, listen to me, they should have come because of the Seventh Prince's illness. They just took me to the palace for questioning. I'll be back soon."

"Who is Nangong Yue?" A thick male voice came, and more than a dozen guards with long swords rushed in. One of the guards came over, his eyes swept over Dongmei and fell on Nangong Yue: "Are you Second Miss Nangong, Nangong Yue?"

"Exactly." Nangong Yue replied, looking at Dongmei with a reassuring look.

"According to my mother's order, Nangong Yue, the daughter of Zhen Guohou, is suspected of murdering the Seventh Prince. She has committed a heinous crime, and she will be brought to the palace for trial immediately." The commander of the guards glanced at the guards: "Come here, take Nangong Yue away."

"Yes." The guards responded, and quickly stepped forward to arrest Nangong Yue.

"Brother guard, did you make a mistake?" Dongmei saw that the situation was wrong, murdering the prince was a capital crime, and the matter was definitely not as light as the second lady said.

"Girl, this subordinate is also under orders, take her away!" The leader of the guards waved his hand, and the guards escorted Nangong Yue and walked out.

"Second Miss...Second Miss..." Dongmei looked at Nangong Yue's slender back, tears streaming down her face.

"Dongmei, don't worry about me, you have to take good care of yourself."

It seems that she is going to have a meal in prison this time, Nangong Yue's mouth twitched into a sneer, early this morning, she heard from Dongmei that Nangong Lin went to the palace with a gift to see Murong Jun, just as soon as she came back, the officers and soldiers also came That's right, the Queen's sudden change of mind has something to do with her in all likelihood.

Her guess is not groundless. She still remembers the scene of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. What she doesn't understand is, what is Nangong Lin's motive?
The prison was dark and damp, and there was a musty smell in the air. The huge prison was empty. Nangong Yue's first reaction was that this was not the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

In the corner of another cage, a young man in a linen jacket was sleeping. He was clean and without any injuries. The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth twitched. Did he come to jail?
