The foolish king's contract princess

Chapter 68
Nan Mengjie returned to the Fifth Prince's Mansion as if nothing had happened, but the other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion had different concerns.

Many distinguished guests were present at the prime minister's birthday banquet. Because of these unexpected events, the banquet broke up before it even started.The people present gave gifts, and although they didn't eat delicacies, they watched a big show.Finally, he left the prime minister's mansion with different thoughts.

Nan Mengxi and Dong'er were sent back to the Prince's Mansion by Nan Shouzhi after the guests left, and Nan Jinghai was severely reprimanded by Nan Shouzhi for a long time.

Gong Yanhao didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, but just quietly followed Nan Mengjie's every move, as long as it didn't threaten Nan Mengjie's life, he would let Nan Mengjie do it.

"Miss, they are all bad people. They bullied you so much before, and they still want to bully you now. I will let Xia Yu vent my anger on you tomorrow." Ye Yuchen took Nan Mengjie's hand to comfort her like an adult.

"Oh, my little Yuchen has become an adult and knows how to comfort others. Don't mention it, it really makes me happy," Nan Mengjie teased Ye Yuchen with a smile.

"My lady, I'm not messing around with you. I'll let Xia Yu secretly vent my anger on you tomorrow," Ye Yuchen tried hard to show his seriousness.

"Okay, I'll handle this matter myself. And you, don't take my previous words to heart. After all, it's been many years. In the past three years, I have had a lot of food and clothing, and you are with me , I am already very happy," Nan Mengjie coaxed Ye Yuchen with mixed truth and falsehood.

"I'm also very happy to have a lady here," Ye Yuchen said as he hugged Nan Mengjie into his arms.

At this time, the ferocity in Ye Yuchen's eyes flashed. He knew that Nan Mengjie's life was hard since his mother passed away. He never thought that Nan Shouzhi would even send someone to assassinate Nan Mengjie. Nan Shouzhi was easily let go.

Everything that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion was widely circulated on the second day, and the protagonists of the incident became the objects of people's chat after dinner.

"Why did you two come so early? Is there something urgent?" Sister Qin was really surprised that Ouyang Ling and An Zixing showed up in Yanyulou early in the morning.

During this period of time, Ouyang Ling has been very busy, and the number of visits to Yanyu Building has also decreased.Because of Bai Qianxue's incident, An Zixing was upset when he saw Ouyang Ling. It had been a while since the two of them had appeared together in Misty Rain Tower like today.

"Sister Qin, there is nothing urgent. We are here to wait for Lanying," Ouyang Ling said with a strange expression.

"Lan Ying? She didn't come to Yanyu Tower on time, why are you so anxious to find her?" Sister Qin poured a glass of water for the two of them.

"Sister Qin, we are looking for Lan Ying to let her answer the questions in my heart."

"What question?" Sister Qin asked Ouyang Ling with raised eyebrows.

"We suspect that Elder Sister is the prime minister's first daughter, the current Fifth Imperial Concubine Nan Mengjie," An Zixing saw that Ouyang Ling was a little hesitant, and directly stated their guess.

"Nan Mengjie?" Sister Qin repeated the name softly, and after a few seconds of wandering, she looked at Ouyang Ling and An Zixing and said, "I have the same thoughts as you, because Lanying has been paying attention to the prime minister. People from the government."

"Really? It seems that we are not guessing based on our feelings," An Zixing was a little excited, but this excitement did not last too long, because he quickly thought of what happened to Nan Mengjie.

"No matter what the final truth of this matter is, both of you must keep it a secret. If Lanying's identity is as we guessed, then she must not be associated with Yanyulou," Sister Qin knew very well how much innocence is to a woman. Important, especially for women of high status.

"Understood, we will keep it secret," Ouyang Ling replied with a downcast expression.

"Then you wait, I'll go to work first," Sister Qin said and walked out.

After Sister Qin left, Ouyang Ling and An Zixing did not continue talking, but were thinking about the things in their hearts.

Ouyang Ling felt lost because of Nan Mengjie's identity, while An Zixing felt sorry for her because of Nan Mengjie's identity.

For the next four consecutive days, Ouyang Ling and An Zixing would appear in the Yanyu Building, but Nan Mengjie never showed up.

This morning, Sister Qin was very anxious and asked her subordinates to deliver a letter to Gong Yanhao: "Send this to the palace, hurry up."

As soon as Sister Qin's men left the house, Ouyang Ling and An Zixing also appeared in the Misty Rain Building with anxious expressions.

"Something happened to Su Cheng and Wu Cheng, we must find a way to contact Lan Ying as soon as possible," An Zixing said anxiously to Sister Qin as soon as he entered the door.

"I also got the news that someone has been sent to send an emergency signal," Sister Qin said and motioned for the two to sit down.

Gong Yanhao received the letter from Yanyulou, saw the red cross mark on the envelope, and ordered Qingzhu to go out to handle errands without even opening the letter.

"Ma'am, the people in the fabric business are looking for you, will you see me or not?" Xia Yu entered Lanyue Pavilion and asked Nan Mengjie's opinion.

"Let him come in," Nan Mengjie said as she arranged Ye Yuchen's clothes and prepared meals.

As soon as the breakfast was served, Xia Yu brought in a handsome young man.

"Five Imperial Concubine, I'm a guy in the fabric shop. The batch of fabrics you looked at two days ago arrived. There are more than one color, and they are very popular now. Do you need it?" The man asked Nan Mengjie respectfully.

"Since there are a few more suits, I'll go pick them out. You wait outside. I'll tidy up and leave." After Nan Mengjie finished speaking, Xia Yu took the man and retreated outside Lanyue Pavilion to wait for him.

"Miss, why don't you go after eating? Cloth is not expensive. If you're in a hurry, I'll let Xia Yu buy it, okay?" Ye Yuchen saw that Nan Mengjie wanted to leave without eating breakfast, and immediately used coquetry persuasive tone.

"No, Xiao Yuchen, I'll go back as soon as I go, and I'll let Xia Yu eat with you later," Nan Mengjie stroked Ye Yuchen's hair and walked out quickly.

Nan Mengjie looked very anxious when she left the Fifth Prince's Mansion. As soon as she left, Xia Yu went to see Ye Yuchen.

"Xia Yu, Ma'am seems to be in a hurry, let Ye Feng go and investigate right away," Ye Yuchen knew that something must be wrong as soon as he saw Nan Mengjie's expression.

Just as Xia Yu was passing the message to Night Breeze, Nan Mengjie also appeared in Yanyu Building alone as Lanying.

"What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?" Nan Mengjie asked the people present as soon as she entered the door.

"Lanying, something happened in Wucheng and Sucheng. Most of the people who ate Yueweifang in the past two days were poisoned, and five or six people died, including relatives of local officials. Because a girl died unexpectedly in Yanyulou, there was a The murder case was seized, and the Yanyun Building was forced to suspend business because of gamblers gathering to make trouble. The managers of various stores in Wucheng and Sucheng, whether they were members of the Mu family or our own people, were killed overnight. "Sister Qin succinctly said the information she received.

'Damn' Nan Mengjie swears angrily after hearing this, and after drinking a saliva, walks around the room, quickly digesting the information provided by Sister Qin.
