Chapter 410 The Queen is Missing (6)
Zheng Tianbao glanced at Wei Ning and said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to see him, I will send him away."
"No, let him in."
Zheng Tianbao nodded, walked down two steps, and said loudly: "Please come in, Master Situ!"
He was the chief eunuch beside the Queen, and his words were basically equivalent to the Queen's opinions, so the younger eunuchs did not dare to disobey and immediately let Situ Yao in.
"Thank you, Eunuch Zheng." Situ Yao clasped his fists to express his gratitude to Zheng Tianbao.
"Lord Situ, please go in. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you." Zheng Tianbao pointed to the pavilion not far away.
Situ Yao thanked him again, then strode over with a serious expression.
There was a person in the pavilion, sitting with her back to him, leaning against the pillar, in a casual and leisurely posture, with one leg bent, her long legs covered by a moon-white robe, and her fingers tapping rhythmically on her legs.
Unexpectedly, when I saw her again after three years, she was still the same, as if she hadn't changed at all.
The ends of her long hair were adorned with tassels woven with a mixture of pearls and gold thread, which was simple yet elegant.
Situ Yao suppressed his wildly beating heart, strode into the pavilion, and knelt down to salute.
"Minister Situ Yao"
"Get up." Before he could finish, Wei Ning spoke.
"Thank you, Prince." Situ Yao stood up and then looked up at her. She was looking casually at the small lake outside the pavilion, looking leisurely and comfortable, as if she had no worries at all.
Situ Yao suddenly felt angry. He had been holding it in for so many years because the prince was away. But now...
The queen has been kidnapped and her life or death is unknown, why is she still so leisurely?
Has it been three years since she left that even the family ties have faded?
"Prince Yao, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is there something important?" Wei Ning turned her head and looked at him leisurely and asked.
"I do have important business. I came here for my sister." Situ Yao forced himself to suppress his anger and talked about the important matter first.
"Situ Jing." Wei Ning said calmly, "I am also going to discuss her affairs with the prince. I don't know what happened to the engagement back then. The sapphire I gave to Situ Jing is not a guardian stone, so this marriage doesn't count. She can still find a better home."
Situ Yao listened quietly, his face turning from white to red, then from red to green, and finally as black as the bottom of a pot!
"Your Highness!" Situ Yao suddenly raised his voice, unable to hold back his anger any longer. "You've been away for three years, and there are better women out there. That's nothing! But Jing'er has been waiting for you for three years without any regrets. Are you going to send her away just because you said the marriage doesn't count? With her current status, what better destination can she find?"
"I didn't ask her to keep watch for me for three years."
"But you left without saying anything to her!"
"This is a misunderstanding. I will talk to her and explain it clearly. I also have something to ask."
"No need to look for her." Situ Yao suddenly said sadly, "Jing'er... was also taken away."
Wei Ning suddenly raised her head, staring at him with her clear black eyes, " What did you say?"
"Jing'er was also kidnapped, at about the same time as the Queen. Your Highness, those people are coming for you, right?"
"Yes." Wei Ning did not deny it. There was nothing to hide from Situ Yao. "It's someone from the Netherworld."
Situ Yao suddenly knelt down.
