Chapter 409 Accountability
Luo Ningyan was not sure at all whether the encounter with the assassin in the second prince's mansion had something to do with Zhao Jin not coming back.

After all, everyone knows that the second prince who was most likely to compete with the current emperor for the throne was the second prince. Leaving aside his temperament and temperament, he only talked about his literary and military strategy. It's a pity that because of his own temperament and the temper of his mother and concubine, his way to become the supreme being was cut off.

But there were many people who supported the second prince back then, so everyone knew that the battle for the throne was between the crown prince and the second prince, and there was also a prince faction and a second prince faction.

Naturally, as the current emperor, Zhao Jin, the ninth prince who was the prince's direct younger brother, must belong to the prince's faction and had little contact with the second prince. There is also almost no contact, not to mention that the Second Prince himself has that kind of indifferent temperament, so Luo Ningyan, as the prime minister's daughter, also knows a little about this.

The people under her reported the news, but she was not sure if it had anything to do with Zhao Jin, especially if there was any connection, what would she do now that Zhao Jin hadn't come back?So I became more and more anxious.

Just when Luo Ningyan was anxious, someone outside suddenly came to announce: "Princess, the Second Prince is coming to the mansion in person." I was really afraid of something.

Hearing that the Second Prince Zhao Jing is here, Luo Ningyan feels even more uneasy. Could it be that the assassin really has something to do with Zhao Jin, but the other party is the Second Prince, and now that Zhao Jin is not here, she has to welcome her no matter what. Packed up and got up to meet him.

"Congratulations to the second brother." Luo Ningyan saluted gracefully, but flinched from the frost-like coldness on the face of the second prince Zhao Jing.

"Where's Brother Nine Emperors?" Zhao Jing didn't have much to say, and asked Luo Ningyan after returning the salute, but the voice was still so cold.

Luo Ningyan was favored at home since she was a child, and later married into the Nine Princes' Mansion. Although Zhao Jin only treated her courteously, she also let go and handed over all the power in the mansion to her. She had never seen such a cold face before. I don't know if it's time to tell the truth.

Just when Luo Ningyan was stunned, footsteps came from inside, and a male voice said with a little haze and drunkenness: "What's the matter? I said I had a headache after drinking, but I still dare to make noise!"

Hearing this voice, Luo Ningyan's face brightened, as if seeing a savior, she even forgot to be frightened by the second prince Zhao Jing's face before.

As if she just knew that Zhao Jing was coming, Zhao Jin was startled: "Second Brother, why are you here so late?"

Although she didn't know when Zhao Jin would come back, Luo Ningyan seemed to have found the backbone: "My lord, it was my concubine who was negligent. The second brother came. I saw you sleeping soundly drunk, so I didn't notify you."

"Nonsense, why didn't the Second Emperor come to inform the king? Forget it, you also saw me sleeping deeply." Zhao Jin said to Zhao Jing, "Second Brother, don't take offense."

Zhao Jing snorted coldly: "Since Jiuhuangdi is awake, I have something to look for Jiuhuangdi, why don't we have a chat."

"That's it..." Zhao Jin paused for a moment, then told Luo Ningyan, "What are you still doing in a daze, let someone serve some tea for Brother Second Emperor and me to refresh ourselves."

Luo Ningyan responded repeatedly and hurried down to order the servants to prepare, while Zhao Jin stretched out her hand to Zhao Jing: "Second Brother, please." Then she sat down with Zhao Jing in the courtyard.

Not long after the two sat down, Luo Ningyan brought tea and some dried fruits with her maid.

"You go back! Brother Erhuang and I have something to talk about." Zhao Jin waved at Luo Ningyan, saw that she had agreed and left, and then asked: "I don't know why Brother Erhuang is here? You should rest more at this hour Is it? Could it be that my younger brother did something wrong yesterday to make the second emperor angry?"

"Brother Nine Emperors, do you know Lin Shuang?" Zhao Jing asked abruptly.

Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment and asked back: "Brother Erhuang knows Lin Shuang? Then do you know where she is now?"

"You ask me?" Zhao Jing's eyes narrowed into a slit. At first, he guessed that maybe Zhao Jin took Lin Shuang and left, especially since those things were also lost. The will of the current emperor Zhao Ying.

After Zhao Jin heard Zhao Jing's words, her face was depressed, and she sighed heavily: "Oh! She was indeed in my house before, but just because I looked at her twice, I was... not afraid to say it. Brother Huang joked that my wife really went too far, so I sent people to search for it, but who knew that no one could find it, but found the body of the person sent by my wife. Now I am still sending people to look for her everywhere. And I don't really want to be bored in the mansion, so I look around for the emperor to drink."

Having said that, Zhao Jin raised her head again: "If the second brother knows her whereabouts, please let the second brother know."

What Zhao Jin said, although Zhao Jing failed to detect it before, but guessing from the situation before and after, it really doesn't look like a lie, but Zhao Jing always has a lot of doubts in his heart, after all, his preconceived idea is I think this matter is not so pure, let alone such things are lost.

"She was indeed at my house before, but she disappeared last night."

"What? Missing again? Could it be..." Zhao Jin stopped and looked at Zhao Jing: "Could it be that she is the assassin that Second Emperor Brother mentioned?" After finishing speaking, Zhao Jin shook her head immediately: "She doesn't know martial arts. , it would be too impossible for an assassin."

Seeing that Zhao Jin didn't seem to be able to ask any questions, Zhao Jing saw his subordinates gesturing to him out of the corner of his eyes, so he got up and said, "Since I'm not with Brother Nine Emperors, I'll go elsewhere If there is any news, I will naturally send someone to notify Brother Nine Emperors."

"That's why I would like to thank the second brother. If the second brother is short of manpower, people in my house can help to find people." Zhao Jin seemed to be very generous and said to Zhao Jing.

"Then there's no need, it's just to disturb Brother Jiuhuang's rest for brother's sake."

"It's okay, I'll send Second Emperor Brother out." Zhao Jin accompanied Zhao Jing all the way out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion. After Zhao Jing's people left, Zhao Jin smiled coldly, and then turned to go to Ninth Princess Luo Ningyan's bedroom.

Originally, she hadn't rested since she came back, she had been waiting, after all, she didn't know what happened, but now she heard that the Ninth Prince had arrived outside, Luo Ningyan got up quickly: "My lord, you..."

"Let them go down first!" Zhao Jin glanced at the waiters around, and stopped Luo Ningyan's questioning.

Luo Ningyan asked everyone to go down obediently, while Zhao Jin sat down: "Luo Shi, are you convicted?"
