The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 54

"Of course you shouldn't let go of those things that belong to you." Ran Xiurong's expression was calm, encouraging her determination to fight.

Su Yu's eyes flashed, and he asked suddenly. "So, mother, what are you going to do?"

"I will not appear in front of the prince, otherwise, he will definitely become suspicious. I will just find an inn in the capital and stay here." Ran Xiurong said lightly.

"If Su Min comes back again, mother, I still have to see how she looks?" Su Yu's expression tightened, even though his heart was excited, he still had to care about the whereabouts of that thorn in his side.

"She must not be able to have the position of the Su family and the princess at the same time. The vitality of the Su family has been greatly damaged. She needs to spend a lot of energy to rectify the operation, and I think she never mentions the Three Princes' Mansion in the capital. It is uncharacteristically, like everything in the past. I don’t remember.” Ran Xiurong was smiling, scheming,

Su Yu frowned, a little puzzled. "This Su Min, what is he thinking?"

Ran Xiurong looked calm, touching the ermine fur on her neck, the light in her phoenix eyes gradually deepened. "I don't have the strength to think about what she is thinking. I will help you pay attention and never let her spoil your good deed."

Hearing this, Su Yu was completely relieved. If Su Min returned to Su's house just because it was as simple as paying homage to Master Su, then she would definitely return to the capital. She needs someone to help and support her in order to defeat her and gain her own. want.

"After leaving the palace, you want to go in again, how can it be so simple and easy?"

Ran Xiurong snorted coldly, her attitude instantly became cold, her eyes were sharp like a sharp sword, enough to cut the skin.

three days later.

In front of the gate of the Three Princes' Mansion in the capital, a neat silver figure jumped off his horse. Nan Gongzheng strode into the mansion, pulled the servant in charge and asked.

"Tell the princess to come out and see me immediately."

The servant's expression changed drastically, and he could only evade his words, because Nangong Zheng in front of him seemed extremely displeased, and the obvious anger was overlaid on his handsome face, which made him dare not provoke him. "Well, my lord...you have to ask Mother Qiao about the reason for this matter. I can't tell you clearly. I'll invite Mother Qiao here. It's better for my lord to ask her personally."

Nan Gongzheng walked into the hall and untied the shackles on his body, his handsome appearance was indifferent.

After a while, I looked at the servant, who helped the handicapped mother Qiao, and walked slowly into the hall.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Zheng couldn't help frowning his handsome brows, and the feeling in his heart became stronger and more real.

His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was as cold as ice. "Are you taking her to worship my mother?"

"My lord, all of this is my idea. I thought it was her responsibility as a daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect it." Qiao's mother felt the chills on Nangong Zheng's body, lowered her head, and explained calmly.

"Half a month has passed." Those black and white eyes were sharper than the north wind and a sword, and his cold voice echoed in the huge and empty hall, stirring up an inexplicable sadness.

Then, if something really happened, the dust will be settled, the deal is done, and there is no room for recovery.

"It was my mistake, my lord." Qiao's mother said blankly. The man in front of her was not arrogant. Even if she had seen the big one since she was a child, she knew what kind of crime she had committed, so she didn't beg for it. forgive.

From the moment Nangong Zheng stepped into the main entrance of the palace, he seemed to have sensed something, that there was something missing in the entire huge palace.

It turned out that she was missing.

Qiao's mother was waiting for the man's rage, but she didn't wait for his rage.

It was very quiet, too quiet, filling the air in the hall, but it was more disturbing than his anger.No one knows when his inner emotions will explode, and at that time, everything will be destroyed.

Nangong Zheng looked indifferently, glanced at Qiao Ma's figure, and asked coldly. "How is your injury?"

"It's just a little skin trauma, not worthy of the prince's concern, but the princess." Qiao's mother's figure was bent, and she was getting older and haggard. Her voice was broken and hoarse, which sounded particularly sad.

"At that time we went down the mountain road together, but we didn't expect a group of barbaric men to break in from nowhere, seriously injured the two guards who were traveling with us, and were about to take the princess away. At the point of plotting something wrong, it was probably the girl from Ban'er who blocked the sword for the princess. ... When I wake up, I will lead the guards in the mansion to search for it in the forest, but unfortunately there is no trace of the princess."

"Why didn't you notify me earlier?" Nangong Zheng's eyes suddenly became cold, like a bloodthirsty beast, difficult to get close to.

"My lord is on the battlefield. If I send someone to notify you, I'm afraid that my lord will be distracted and the event will be ruined, so I decided to conceal it and not report it."

She is very clear that today's son is a man who cares about pennies and pennies, and he is at odds with the prince by nature. When the prince became a general king, when he fought north and south and won countless victories, there were not many rewards, but if he lost this time, maybe What awaits the prince is the disaster of prison.

"You didn't see her being killed with your own eyes, did you?" Nan Gongzheng's eyes turned, and the originally gloomy expression was mixed with more complicated emotions.

He couldn't believe she was dead.

However, there is also no evidence to prove that she is still alive.

If this situation was her own decision, according to common sense, she would not leave her sympathetic maid, Fan'er, to disappear alone.

Maybe it's just a pretense.

The purpose is to prevent people from suspecting that her disappearance was intentional.

"Yes, but after I heard the recent rumors in the capital, I was even more worried." Mother Qiao asked in a low voice after a pause. "I wonder if the prince has heard of the name of the Black Mountain Army?"

A strand of black hair fell silently, blocking Nangong Zheng's left eye. He said coldly, "You mean, you encountered those robbers?"

The Black Mountain Army is small in number, but they are good at hiding themselves in the dangerous mountains and forests, so the court has not captured the leader of the opponent so far, and the Nandu rebellion has attracted too much attention, so these bandits must have become more and more rampant.

"The Black Mountain Army did appear in that forest and that road, but I don't dare to believe that those burly men are the Black Mountain Army. But their tone of voice is really similar." Qiao's mother was full of wrinkles His face was full of helplessness.It would be fine if these Montenegrin troops were just ordinary thieves, and she didn't have to be so worried.

Rumor has it that the leader of the Black Mountain Army is very feminine. Not only did he send his subordinates to kill and rob gold and silver, but he also took all the pretty women away to the mountain for him to vent his desires on his own.

She couldn't say these words, her brows and eyes were full of gloom. "If there is something wrong with the princess, I will accompany the princess to the underworld."

Although she was not very close to the concubine, it would be the greatest tragedy for a woman with such a calm and proud nature to end up being abused like this.

She could only burn incense and worship Buddha every night, praying for the spirit of Concubine Liu to keep the princess safe and sound.

Nangong Zheng was noncommittal about the punishment Qiao Ma demanded, and silently clenched the celadon teacup on the coffee table with his long fingers in black gloves, with a cold and desolate expression. "Then smash down the old nest of the Black Mountain Army and wipe out this group of mobs."

Upon hearing this, Qiao's mother seemed to read out the heavy and suffocating cruelty in his plain tone.After seeing him give orders to the guards around him, she looked at the figure, she could somewhat see that he was rushing back to the capital, and asked softly.

"Does the prince want to inform the emperor and the Su family?"

With his back to her slender figure, he raised his hand and uttered two words. "never mind."

"My lord doesn't plan to pursue it anymore? Although my lord doesn't value my concubine very much, it's not a trivial matter for her to be alive or dead. If I ask the emperor or the Su family, how can my lord explain it clearly?"

"Presumably the prince doesn't know what happened to the Su family." Sighing heavily, Mother Qiao sighed that it was a troubled time, she walked forward slowly, and then continued.

Mother Qiao said with a sad look in her eyes. "The master of the Su family has gone."

Nangong Zheng's body froze, which was beyond his expectation. "when?"

"Just in this half month."

"Maybe she has already gone back?" Nangong Zheng turned around suddenly, with a strange emotion in his heart, churning and clamoring in his chest.

Qiao's mother was slightly startled, and the deep and complicated color in Wang Ye's eyes was burning more and more because of worry.

"I suspected that too. If the concubine escaped from the devil's lair, she might return to the Su family in Luocheng. But I sent someone to investigate, and they all said that the young lady of the Su family did not go back."

The creases between Nangong Zheng's brows became heavier. "She has a very good relationship with her father. It's a matter of life and death, but she didn't go back to observe his filial piety?" Such words are really puzzling.

He had personally seen her filial piety towards Master Su, and it was absolutely impossible that he would not even go back to take a look at his own father's death, which was unreasonable.

Could it be that she really suffered a catastrophe?So, there is no way to know such a big event?

Mother Qiao nodded slightly, her eyes flashed. "Many people in Los Angeles are talking about her, saying that now that she has become a princess, she has even forgotten about filial piety, and the comments she made about this Miss Su behind her back are ugly."

There is no basis for the rumors, the rumors may be true, but they cannot be completely believed.

Thinking of this, Nangong Zheng left a word indifferently. "After I have wiped out the Black Mountain Army, I will go to Los Angeles in person."

"Isn't the prince extremely disgusted with the Su family?"

Nan Gongzheng remained silent, looking at the scene in front of the window, there were withered yellow leaves floating on the frozen lake, looking lonely and desolate.In the next moment, the black eyes that were as dark as eagles became more fierce and cold.

Always, no answer.

Nan Gongzheng walked into his room, changed out of the dusty silver clothes, and was only wearing a white undershirt. The movements of his hands stopped suddenly, as if he was lost in thought.

At this moment, a servant's voice came from outside the door, breaking the tranquility at this moment.

"My lord, a message was sent from the palace, saying that the emperor invited me to a celebration banquet."
