Chapter 406 The Queen is Missing (2)
After an absence of three years, Wei Ning returned to Haojing again. Looking at the familiar city from a distance, she felt like she was home. Perhaps it was Mu Qingning's emotions at work. After all, this place was the most familiar in her memory.
It was equally familiar to Wei Ning.
One of the largest cities on the Galan Continent, it is prosperous, majestic and magnificent, like a giant beast entrenched on the earth.
The carriage entered the city, and because the passengers were dressed in casual clothes, they did not alarm the people.
Wei Ning and Mu Zi Han were sitting in the carriage. Wei Ning lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling city. She hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, so she couldn't help but feel fresh.
The street was very busy. Wei Ning was looking around when he suddenly saw a group of people crowded in front of him. It seemed that someone was performing in front of him, with loud gongs and drums, and it was very lively.
The crowd was pushing and shoving, cheering in unison. Suddenly, a few people parted with a clamor, revealing a girl standing in the crowd. She opened her eyes wide in panic and looked around. She was wearing a thin ochre palace skirt and had her hair loose. It was obvious that she had just woken up.
She stood out so much in the crowd, her elegant temperament making her look like an outlier among ordinary people.
"Royal sister?" Wei Ning blurted out. Although they had not seen each other for three years, Mu Qingtong's face no longer had that childish expression, but the familiar eyebrows and eyes, and the rare beauty, were still the same as before.
But when Mu Qingtong entered the country, she was already the empress of the Qinglong Empire. How could she appear in the market alone?
"What's wrong?" Mu Zi Han noticed that something was wrong with her and asked.
Wei Ning hurriedly asked, "Why is the imperial sister there?"
She pointed at the circle of performers, which was bustling with countless people. Mu Zihan moved to her side and looked out. There were indeed a lot of people there, but, why was there no queen?
"A Ning, did you see it wrong?"
"Impossible!" Wei Ning looked outside again, and sure enough, there was no one there.
But...she clearly saw it just now !
She hadn't seen Mu Qingtong for more than three years. Even if she was dazzled, it was impossible for her to imagine such a specific Mu Qingtong, because that was definitely Mu Qingtong after she grew up, not the same as she was three years ago.
Her appearance has grown, and her temperament is now that of a queen. Even though she looked a little panicked just now, her eyes still contain a hint of intimidation.
"I really saw it just now!" Wei Ning said, "I want to go to the palace now, is that ok?"
Mu Zihan knew that she was not someone who would take things so seriously. She actually said that she saw it, so maybe something happened in the palace.
He was just about to give the order to enter the palace when a fast horse came galloping in front. Before it got close, the person on the horse rolled off and then crawled over.
"Requesting an audience with the Regent! I'm Zhang Shao, !" the man shouted as he came over.
The people around Mu Zihan recognized his appearance and identity, and said, "The prince is in the carriage, if you have anything to say, tell me quickly!"
Zhang Shao knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Your Highness, the Queen has been kidnapped..."
Wei Ning's heart sank as expected, and then she suddenly lifted the curtain of the car and rushed out, running towards the place where she was performing, pulling away the people who were surrounding her one by one.
"Hey! Brat, what are you doing? Are you trying to cause trouble?"
The bald strong man who was performing arts stared at her and tried to stop her.
