No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 310
A few miles away is not too far for a horse to go to a person. Not long after, everyone on the side of the road saw a signal rising from the southeast. It was obvious that Leng Shuang had found Yu Chen.Bai Jingrong's complexion was also not very good-looking. She might not have deep feelings for Yu Chen. Yu Chen has been doing nothing all these years and the matter of the Jinluan Talisman has almost come to an end. Naturally, Yu Chen's usefulness to her has also plummeted.

But being threatened by a little girl like Luo Junyao, Bai Jingrong would naturally not be in a good mood.

"Now, can we go?" Bai Jingrong said coldly.

Luo Junyao waved to her with a charming smile and said, "I wish Madam Rong a smooth journey."

Bai Jingrong snorted softly, turned around and got into the carriage parked by the roadside.

Probably because they really didn't want to stay in Shangyong, the team quickly started to move forward slowly.

The official in charge of seeing him off secretly wiped off his sweat, looked at Luo Jun and smiled apologetically, "Thanks to the quickness of the princess, I was able to find the assassin who assassinated the prince."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are serious. It is the people of our palace who accidentally chased and lost the assassin, and caused trouble for Your Excellency."

The official didn't even dare to speak, and thought to himself: It is said that the regent princess is arrogant and domineering, but now it seems that may not be the truth.This princess doesn't look like a pampered and willful one.

Luo Junyao glanced at Cui Zheyu who was standing beside him in a daze, and said, "Boss Cui, go and meet Leng Shuang. Remember, the prince and I will enter the dungeon alive."

Cui Zheyu bit the corner of her lips, cupped her hands and said, "Yes, Wangfei."

Cui Zheyu quickly got on his horse and galloped away, and the others packed up and prepared to go back to the city.

Ji Rong rode his horse and followed Luo Junyao, looking sideways at the woman beside him as he went.

This too-young Princess Regent has bright eyes and bright teeth, and she looks dignified and delicate.But just by looking at the words she threatened Bai Jingrong, she was actually very clear about these political interests in her heart.

If she was really a pampered woman, then Cai Cai might just ignore it and attack Bai Jingrong.

No wonder he tried to approach her several times before, but it didn't work?I'm afraid this girl has already seen through his mind.

"Ninth Prince, what advice do you have?" Luo Junyao naturally noticed Ji Rong's probing gaze, and asked with his head tilted.

Ji Rong slowly looked away, and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect... Mother would give up Yu Chen so easily."

Luo Junyao held the rein and chuckled, raised his eyes to meet Ji Rong's surprised gaze, "Don't the Ninth Prince know Yu Chen's identity?"

Ji Rong was taken aback for a moment and didn't speak.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that I know that Yu Chen has made no achievements in the Qi clan for so many years. Apart from Qi Wang's distrust and suppression, is there no other reason? With his status, if something really happens Thoughts, I'm afraid it's more legitimate than Bai Jingrong? Madam Rong hid Yu Chen in a residence outside the city, do you really want to take him back to the Qi tribe?"

Ji Rong's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Luo Junyao with a complicated expression, "Is this the regent king or the eldest son Luo told the princess?"

"Does anyone need to tell this?" Luo Junyao asked puzzledly, "The Ninth Prince asked this to amuse me?" She didn't believe that Ji Rong, Bai Jingrong's biological son, would not know about things she could think of.

Ji Rong shook her head and said, "The princess is joking."

Luo Junyao sighed and said: "To be honest, Lingtang's problem of throwing away after use is really not good."

It's certainly not good for a superior to be too affectionate and indecisive, but it's not a good habit for Bai Jingrong to throw away things like this.Why didn't she think about it, if those people she discarded were angry because of this, would there be a big problem?

Ji Rong thought for a while, and said, "I've never seen a person who was abandoned by his mother turn back." At least, there is no one around Bai Jingrong who is useful.As for some small fish and shrimp, so what if there is hatred?

"..." This one is a bit powerful.

Luo Junyao was a little curious, "Is there any secret?"

Ji Rong looked at her speechlessly: Do you think I will know?
Luo Junyao sighed in disappointment, and murmured, "I thought you would learn something."

Ji Rong smiled lightly, but Luo Junyao's eyes fell on him again, "Don't talk about Mrs. Rong, so what does the Ninth Prince want to do?"

Ji Rongdao: "I'm just a proton. I can't control my own life or death. What else can I want to do? I just want to live in peace and stability."

Luo Junyao rolled his eyes inwardly, patted the horse lightly and ran forward and stopped talking to him.

This is too false.

The group separated when they returned to the city. Ji Rong naturally had to go back to his proton mansion, and the officials who saw him off also had to go back to deal with business. Only Luo Junyao had nothing to do and went to the south of the city to find Luo Jinxing.

The outside of the Liushang Pavilion was still blocked by officers and soldiers and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, but Luo Junyao was obviously not among them.

All the way unimpeded to the small courtyard that was bombed and burned the night before, it was already in ruins at this time.

The soldiers of the Dingguo Army sealed off the surrounding streets, and many people were deployed around the small courtyard.The officials and servants of the yamen were cleaning up the ruins together with the soldiers of the Dingguo Army. Corpses were pulled out of the ruins and placed on the side of the street outside the courtyard.

Fortunately, it is winter now, if it is summer, I am afraid it will stink.

Hearing that Mr. Luo was coming, Luo Jinxing walked out quickly.Seeing the long row of horribly dead corpses on the street, Luo Jinxing frowned and said, "Why are you here? This is not where you should be, go back!"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I heard that Second Brother is here, so I'll come and see you. Don't worry, I'm not afraid."

The blue veins on Luo Jinxing's forehead couldn't help but twitch, knowing that his sister is brave, but isn't it a bit too big?

Many of those corpses were burnt to death or blasted to death, and some were even directly burned to coke. If he hadn't been fighting on the battlefield for many years, I'm afraid he would have been unbearable.

Luo Junyao took his arm and pulled him in, saying: "Okay, I'll come over and have a look. By the way, what's going on with this place? Is there really a treasure house there?"

Luo Jinxing couldn't resist her, so he had to let her pull her in, "There are some things, but I'm afraid there are not as many as in the legend. The exact number will not be known until it is cleaned up again. The treasure house was half destroyed by the bombing. The entrance is also blocked."

Luo Jun shook his head and nodded, "That's right, if I wanted to set a trap here, I wouldn't really set up a treasure house." Xueya really put a lot of gold and silver treasures in it, which is already very kind.

A young school lieutenant approached Luo Jinxing, cupped his hands and said, "General, the corpses in the yard have been cleared up. There are 260 corpses in total including those found nearby, of which less than [-] can be identified. They are all the masters of the rivers and lakes that we were staring at a few days ago."

Luo Jinxing nodded and said: "Hand over all the corpses to Dali Temple and Jingzhao Yamen. You continue to clean up and excavate, and you must restore this place to normal as soon as possible." This place is close to the most prosperous Nanshi in the capital. big.As for checking the identities of those corpses, that's not their business.

"Yes, General." The captain took the order and left.

Luo Jinxing didn't want his sister to stay in this place where many people had just died, so he dragged Luo Junyao out when he saw nothing happened.

"Second brother, where are we going?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

Luo Jinxing said: "Where am I going, I'm going to Mingyin Pavilion in the west of the city now, you go home."

Luo Junyao snorted softly, "I just caught a big fish and I came here to share it with you. Is that why you treat me like this?"

Luo Jinxing raised his eyebrows, "What big fish?"

"Yu Chen." Luo Junyao said a little proudly, and Luo Jinxing couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, "You caught Yu Chen?"

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I just asked Mrs. Rong a few words. She felt that I was destined, so she told me Yu Chen's whereabouts. Now Leng Shuang has escorted Yu Chen to the prison."

Luo Jinxing glanced helplessly at his sister who was obviously talking nonsense, then turned and walked in another direction.

Luo Junyao immediately followed, "Second Brother, where are you going?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Go to the prison."

"You have a grudge against Yu Chen?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

Luo Jinxing sneered and said, "The soldiers of Dasheng have enmity with Yu Chen!"

Luo Jun shook his head clearly, and he was right.Although Luo Jinxing was still a boy in his early ten years when Yu Chen rebelled, but he had lived in the border gates and military camps since he was a child, so Luo Jinxing had naturally heard about Yu Chen's rebellion since he was a child.

Besides, Luo Jinxing has a bold and loyal personality, and he hates this kind of rebellious person the most.

In the past few days, the sky prison in the imperial city was extremely lively. The sky prison, which was always quiet and solemn until gloomy, became lively because it was suddenly crowded with people.

The officials in charge of the prison were even more trembling and uneasy. He would not be able to offend any of the people who were locked up here a few days ago.

Because of Wang Fan's escape from the sky prison back then, the sky prison has re-upgraded its defenses in the past few years, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is impregnable.

But even so, the officials in charge of the prison at this time still felt as heavy as a mountain on their shoulders.

In the deepest part of the dungeon is a huge room. There are no windows on the four walls of the room, and even the roof is more than twice as high as an ordinary house.On the roof is a zenith made of marble, and no beams can be seen.In such a room, if the lights are not lit, the entire prison cell is really without a little light.

Even if this is not enough, there is also a huge pool in the room, and there are seven or eight cages made of refined iron in the pool.The prisoner was locked in a cage with water directly up to his chest.A thick iron chain hangs from the top of the cage, binding people tightly, even a master of the rivers and lakes will not be able to move if he enters it.

The treatment in the cells outside is much better than here, some three or five people are locked together, and some can even live in a single cell.

The same thing is that although these people look a little embarrassed, the clothes on their bodies are of good material, and they are obviously rich or expensive.

Ruan Ting and Ning Wang happened to live on the opposite side, and their environment was even better, not only in a single room but also a distance away from other prisoners, which seemed much quieter.There are not only beds but also tables, stools and individual oil lamps in the cell, except that there is nothing wrong with it being rudimentary.

Young Master Xueya lives next door to them, and there is only one wall between him and Ruan Ting, but the father and son obviously have no desire to communicate.After entering the Heaven Prison, Xue Ya and King Ning occasionally spoke a few words, but Ruan Ting remained silent from the beginning to the end.

Since they were imprisoned in the sky prison, Xie Yan didn't pay any attention to them. In a blink of an eye, they had been imprisoned here for more than a day. Ruan Ting and Xueya were fine, but King Ning was old but couldn't stand it anymore.

He knocked hard on the railing of the cell a few times, and immediately attracted the attention of Ruan Ting and Xue Ya on the opposite side.

Ruan Ting opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again, Xue Ya sat against the wall, looking at King Ning indifferently.

The movement inside quickly attracted the officials of the sky prison. An official came in with two servants, looked at King Ning and said, "What's going on?"

King Ning snorted coldly and said, "I want to see Xie Yan!"

The official looked at King Ning and said, "His Royal Highness is busy with business, and I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see the lord right now. His Highness the Regent said, please live in peace, and visit him after he finishes taking care of the court affairs."

King Ning snorted coldly and said, "I want to see Xie Yan now!"

The official looked at him with some embarrassment, "My lord, I'm afraid..."

King Ning stared at the person in front of him with a gloomy expression. If he hadn't accidentally lost to Xie Yan, how could such a small person dare to treat him so perfunctorily?
After all, King Ning is a relative of the emperor, or His Majesty's uncle, the real uncle of the Prince Regent.Although he was thrown into the sky prison now, it would be fine if King Ning's lineage ended here, if not...he didn't want to offend people to death.

The official had no choice but to sigh softly, and said: "The lower official will order someone to report to His Royal Highness the Regent, but the lower official will not know if His Highness the Regent sees the lord." left.

King Ning stared at his leaving back with gloomy eyes.

Ruan Ting spoke suddenly, and said lightly: "Prince Ning should spend less effort, do you think the regent will let you survive now?"

King Ning said: "This king is a relative of the emperor, Xie Yan's uncle!"

Ruan Tingdao: "Five years ago, the three killed by the regent were all relatives of the emperor. If King Ning dared to plot rebellion just because of this, I can only say, no wonder you will fail."

King Ning was angry, looked at Ruan Ting with a sneer, and said, "I failed? Isn't Prime Minister Ruan here now?" Now that it is no longer honorable to lose a dynasty, King Ning seems to have forgotten that he and the person in front of him are still in-laws. Ruan Ting was actually dragged into the water by them.

Ruan Ting said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the prince."

King Ning stared at Ruan Ting for a while, then turned his gaze to Xueya, and suddenly smiled and said: "How could it be a gift from this king? Isn't it the master's hand?"

Ruan Ting said calmly: "He is not my son."

Hearing that King Ning was stunned, "Isn't it your son? Then you..." Is Ruan Ting crazy?He had hinted several times before that he would not take up the fight, but ended up getting involved for a fake son?
Ruan Ting looked at King Ning with even more sympathy and pity, "What did he tell you? He told you that he is my son, so I will definitely help you? The people of Luan Ceremony will do their best to assist you to ascend the throne ?”

King Ning didn't answer, Ruan Ting sighed and said: "Fortunately, you failed, otherwise...you will be a puppet, maybe you don't know how you died."

King Ning stared at Ruan Ting and said, "What do you mean?"

Ruan Tingdao: "Certificate Luan only wants to seize the throne through you. As for who will be in power after winning the throne, I'm afraid it's up to King Ning to decide. Mr. Xueya, are you right?"

Xue Ya looked up at King Ning who was looking at her and did not answer, she was silent for a moment before laughing softly.
