Commander Lu frowned and asked someone to pull Xie Yuanjiu up first, and then directly tortured him: "Miss Xie Fourth, please explain the matter clearly."
Xie Yuanjiu's face was covered with blood, and naturally these tough guys would not wipe it for her.
Her cry was full of innocence: "When I was about to fall asleep, I saw Ning Ning going out by herself."
"It was too late. My aunt clearly said that you can't leave the room after midnight. I was worried that something would happen to her, so I followed her. Come up."
"But I followed her here, but you only caught me. Commander Lu, I really didn't break into the forbidden palace trespassing, and I don't know where this is."
As she said that, she shouted: "Ning Ning, Ning Ning, come out! Commander Lu will not blame you. Tell him that you are just having fun for a while, and he will understand you!"
Xie Yuanjiu's shouting woke up Concubine Li in the inner hall.
A crazy figure threw herself at the locked door of the main hall, and Concubine Li's sharp screams came from inside the door -
"Smelly cousin! Are you here to take revenge on me again? Concubine Rong! Qi Jingchun, you bitch , open the door, I will fight you tooth and nail!"
"Give me back my son, give me back my son!" Li Fei's voice was hysterical.
She went crazy not long after being imprisoned.
Therefore, Shen Ningning will definitely not hide in her palace.
What's more, Li Fei's door is locked.
Commander Lu frowned and told Pei Yin, "Take your men and search around here to see if there is any trace of the princess."
"Yes." Pei Yin and his men quickly searched around.
After a while, they returned: "Commander, I didn't see the princess."
Xie Yuanjiu was surprised: "How is that possible! I saw her come in with my own eyes."
Suddenly, she realized: "Commander Lu, we are going back to Shuixiehua Wu, if she came out, the room must be empty now. You will know that I am not lying!"
Commander Lu glanced at Xie Yuanjiu.
He really didn't want to go through trouble with this little girl, but breaking into the forbidden palace without permission was of great importance.
He must do it impartially.
So, Commander Lu nodded and said: "Go to Shuixiehuawu!"
They made a lot of noise, and when they crossed the long bridge and entered the garden, they woke up the sleeping ladies.
Everyone was wearing clothes and standing in twos and threes under the door, their eyes a little anxious.
"What happened? Why are so many forbidden troops here?"
"I don't know either. Look, how come Commander Lu is guarding Miss Xie Si?"
"Oh! Her face is covered with blood. Could it be, yes? Did she commit something?"
Xie Yuanjiu tried his best to prove that Shen Ningning was not in the room.
She was extremely convinced that she had just seen Shen Ningning entering Concubine Li's palace. Even if Shen Ningning hid, she would not be able to return to Shuixiehuawu immediately.
As long as it proves that the room is empty, Xie Yuanjiu can save himself!
Commander Lu followed Xie Yuanjiu to outside Shen Ningning's room.
The eldest aunt was guarding the door with a majestic look.
Xie Yuanjiu said immediately: "Auntie, don't stop me. We have to go in to confirm whether Ningning is back safe and sound."
The eldest aunt glanced at her, and then looked at Commander Lu.
"It's very late, and all the ladies are resting here. Commander Lu led his men to break in without giving any instructions. How will these little girls explain it after the news spreads?"
Commander Lu held his hands, looking apologetic: "We After receiving a report that someone was trying to break into the Forbidden Palace at night, I stayed near Concubine Li's palace and indeed caught one person."
After he said this, the ladies around him immediately looked at Xie Yuanjiu.
Everyone finally understood why she was brought by the Imperial Army. Xie Yuanjiu was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, and then explained: "But I entered the forbidden palace by mistake because I was looking for sister Ning Ning."
"Aunt, please don't stop me and let Commander Lu go in and take a look. If Ning Ning is indeed not in the house, Here, isn't this more worrying?"
Under the lantern, Xie Yuanjiu's expression was calm: "Or is it because aunt knows something to protect her?"
The eldest aunt still had that serious expression and was not intimidated by her words.
Instead, the eldest aunt looked at Commander Lu and said, "In this case, I will no longer stop you. I just hope that Commander Lu's people will behave properly. After all, it is the princess who lives inside."
Commander Lu expressed his understanding: "I have my own sense of propriety."
After he said that, the eldest aunt staggered away, and Xie Yuanjiu couldn't wait to open the door.
The two doors hit the wall with a muffled sound.
The ladies hurriedly walked nearby and poked their heads inside to see if Shen Ningning was really not in the house.
However, when Commander Lu's firelight entered the room, the little figure wrapped in a quilt and sleeping soundly on the couch sat up suddenly in fright.
Shen Ningning's black eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness, like a frightened white rabbit.
Her eyes widened, and her voice was full of fear: "Who are you!"
Commander Lu was startled, and as soon as he stepped forward, he hurriedly retreated, and ordered all the forbidden troops not to enter and disturb them.
"I'm sorry, Princess. Miss Xie said that you are not in the room. Due to safety concerns, I am here to confirm."
Shen Ningning made a confused sound: "Huh?"
She looked at Xie Yuanjiu, who had a look of astonishment and was frozen in place. Shen Ningning's tone was confused: "Sister Xie, what did you say? I fell asleep a long time ago."
Xie Yuanjiu murmured: "How is it possible, how is it possible! I obviously watched you go out, and I followed you all the way here. How could you sleep here in Concubine Li's Palace?"
She said the last sentence in a hysterical tone, a little broken.
A trace of panic appeared on Shen Ningning's young face: "What are you talking nonsense about? Concubine Li was ordered by the emperor to be banned from the palace. How could I go there?
" The sweat on my vest clung to my body coldly.
She looked into Shen Ningning's round, dark eyes, but she felt like she was looking into an endless night.
Shen Ningning... did it on purpose!
Xie Yuanjiu came back to her senses and hurriedly told Commander Lu: "She lied and Ning Ning harmed me!"
Commander Lu's face was as solid as iron and his expression was cold: "I see that no one harmed you at all, but you broke into the forbidden palace without permission. We still have to shirk responsibility."
He stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand: "Take the person away and imprison him until I report to the emperor before making a decision."
Xie Yuanjiu was dragged away. She stared at Shen Ningning with a sad voice.
"Ning Ning, Ning Ning, tell the truth, how can you lie!"
She was taken away, and the ladies all pointed, saying that Xie Yuanjiu was really scheming, she had made a mistake, and she wanted to blame others.
The eldest aunt glanced inside the room. Shen Ningning was wrapped in a quilt from beginning to end, looking pitiful and frightened.
"Auntie, is Sister Xie's head okay? Why does she seem to be crazy..." She rubbed her arms with her little hands in fear.
The eldest aunt comforted her softly: "She is fine. The Emperor has made his own decision. Princess, don't worry. You have a good rest. I promise not to let anyone else disturb you again."
Shen Ningning then lay down with peace of mind.
After the door closed, the little guy heard his eldest aunt chasing other ladies outside.
"Go back and rest, don't watch the excitement here anymore."
When their voices gradually faded away, a person fell on the beam.
Mo Lingwei's face was gloomy, he patted the dust on his shoulders and gritted his teeth.
"Because of you, I hid on the rafters for the first time in my life. I was so shameless. If word spread, this prince would be embarrassed."
