Chapter 363 Search Under Order
"His Royal Highness King Jing." The guard commander knocked on King Jing's door bravely, "Something happened to Miss Ling!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Jing suddenly stood up from the bed, casually pulled on some clothes and put them on before opening the door: "What's going on?"
The leader of the guards bowed and replied: "Tonight, Miss Ling and Princess Nanyang came back from the military camp. They met a group of men in black on the way. Princess Nanyang and Miss Ling were both drugged and passed out."
King Jing's expression changed: "Then -"
"That group of people captured Princess Nanyang and planned to silence Miss Ling. Someone came to the rescue at the critical moment, and Miss Ling was safe and sound."
King Jing asked anxiously: "Where is Miss Ling?"
"It has been sent back to the Protector's Mansion."
King Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then his delicate eyebrows were covered with a layer of frost: "Who kidnapped Princess Nanyang?"
"The man who rescued Miss Ling said that the man in black is most likely a subordinate of Prime Minister Gu." The guard commander replied, "This matter has been reported to the emperor. The emperor ordered the imperial guards to dig three feet into the ground to find Princess Nanyang." Tianlai Novel Network
Prime Minister Gu?
The look in King Jing's eyes was cold: "Did the Emperor say that the Prime Minister's Mansion can be searched?"
"As long as there are suspicions or clues, both the prince's residence and the prime minister's residence can be searched without fail."
"In that case, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a visit." King Jing shouted coldly, "Come here! Summon fifty guards and follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately!"
"But Your Majesty, the Royal Forest Army is conducting a search under orders. We -"
"If we find Princess Nanyang, it will be a great achievement. My father will not blame her." King Jing said coldly, put on his clothes and walked out, "If we can't find her, the worst I can do is go to the palace tomorrow to plead guilty."
He kidnapped the Ninth Princess and wanted to silence Ling Ning?
If he doesn't turn the Prime Minister's Mansion upside down tonight, he will be sorry for his good intentions!
After ordering people to prepare horses, King Jing led fifty guards and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The night is getting dark.
Dozens of torches lit up the dark night.
The front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit, and the entire mansion seemed to be immersed in light.
The confrontation between the two groups of people made the atmosphere even more tense, full of tension that was about to break out.
"Commander Ye, what are you doing?" Prime Minister Gu stood in front of the court, staring coldly at the leader Ye Qi, "You stayed up late at night and brought people to the prime minister's house to raid the house?"
Behind Prime Minister Gu stood the guards of the Gu family holding sabers. They all looked nervous and had obvious scruples on their faces.
After all, the people confronting them at this time were the Imperial Forest Army led by Ye Qi.
The Royal Forest Army's visit at this time must have come under the emperor's will.
"I'm on an errand at Xiafeng." Ye Qi held the sword at his waist and said, "Please forgive me, Prime Minister."
Prime Minister Gu's expression was ugly: "I am staying in the mansion peacefully. What kind of errands does Commander Ye bring so many people here to do?"
"I am following the Emperor's order to search all the mansions to find the whereabouts of the Ninth Princess." Ye Rong clasped his fists in apology, "I hope the Prime Minister will cooperate."
Prime Minister Gu said angrily: "Is there a search order? Commander Ye should know that the prime minister's mansion was not searched just by everyone -"
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, is wrong." As a cold and flamboyant voice sounded, the clatter of horse hooves stopped outside the gate, "Commander Ye is following the instructions from his father. As a minister, the Prime Minister must cooperate unconditionally. "
After saying this, King Jing turned over and dismounted, his eyebrows slightly raised, but with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "I have received the news that the person who kidnapped Princess Nanyang is a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In order to find the Ninth Princess as soon as possible, my father made a special trip. According to the decree, both the Prince's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace can be searched. Please cooperate with Prime Minister Gu!"
After that, "The guards are ordered to obey. If anyone blocks Commander Ye from doing his errands tonight, you are responsible for clearing the way for them!"
"yes!"
Prime Minister Gu's expression suddenly changed: "His Royal Highness King Jing, what do you want to do?!"
King Jing smiled, but his peach blossom eyes were piercingly cold: "I just said it very clearly, the Prime Minister should understand it clearly."
Prime Minister Gu's face was ashen, and the hands hanging by his sides clenched involuntarily.
"Prime Minister!" Mrs. Gu suddenly walked out of the central courtyard, her footsteps hurried, followed by more than a dozen maids and mothers, "What's wrong?"
Prime Minister Gu turned to look at her, and Mrs. Gu nodded calmly.
Prime Minister Gu breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened slightly.
"Search!" Ye Qi raised his hand and waved.
The royal guards dispersed in the Prime Minister's Mansion in an instant, and footsteps rushed away, leaving the middle courtyard, inner courtyard, study room, garden...all places untouched.
Mrs. Gu watched helplessly as the Royal Guards searched the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a slight look of nervousness on her fair and fat face.
"Have they been sent out?" Prime Minister Gu asked in a low voice.
