"You deserve to die ten thousand deaths for your crimes. If you die, is it even worth it? If we can't catch those people, then you and I will never be at peace …"
When the emperor heard this, he added fuel to the fire. What to do? What to do? A day had passed, yet he hadn't caught a single enemy.
Even if they were to come again tonight, it would still take more than ten days for the reinforcements to arrive. Fortunately, it was fortunate that they had listened to the words of that little girl.
According to what Dongfang Ning had said, he was already prepared, and there was an ambush in the palace to hide the truth. As long as the crown prince didn't say anything, and the people who followed him yesterday didn't say anything, then everyone only knew that Dongfang Ning had killed the snake, and no one else knew about the snake.
Paper could not contain fire. He had to consider this matter carefully. At the very least, before the reinforcements arrived, he could not reveal the fake soldiers …
All the officials in the palace saw the emperor suddenly fly into the sky. They didn't know what he was thinking, but they all kneeled down and waited.
"Your majesty, today we have started the search, but we have yet to find a tenth of them. Twenty thousand is not a small number, and it will not be easy to manage them." Your majesty, today we have begun the search, but we have yet to find a tenth of them.
"Then based on Wei Xiang's opinion, how should we proceed with the progress?"
"This …"
"Your Majesty, this subject has a recommendation!"
Song Qiuhan raised his head and talked to the emperor. He felt that the only person who could deal with this kind of incident quickly was Dongfang Ning. Don't ask him why, he didn't know either and just subconsciously thought of her.
"Song Aiqing, tell us!"
"Princess Anning might have a foolproof plan!"
"I second that!"
"I second that ~"
Princess Anning's words were quickly echoed by the officials. Some of them knew what happened yesterday and thought that the princess was omnipotent.
Those who did not know of this would only want to have a leader, and at that time, if there were any problems, it would have nothing to do with them.
"Mm …" An Ran did a great job protecting the emperor yesterday, but she is just a little girl who knows what kind of country's important matters are there. Could it be that all the civil and military powers in the dynasty are inferior to a little girl? "
"The officials deserve to die ten thousand deaths!"
"Alright, alright!" He deserved to die, he deserved to die! The important thing is the result. I'll give you guys three more days, but if you guys can't find a fake civilian in three days, then you guys will have to raise your heads and come to the couplet! "
The emperor was so angry that he waved his sleeves and left the seat.
The remaining officials looked at each other in dismay. After a long while, they discussed their plans on the spot. The capital was not small, and there were hundreds of thousands of citizens living in the suburbs.
"This matter cannot be completed within a short period of time. What should we do? Wei Xiang, what do you think?"
"Ugh ~"
"Don't sleep tonight, hurry up and investigate. Since three days are not enough, we will split it into six."
"As the Minister of the Left has said, we should speed up the search. Besides those who are on duty, let's eat first and come back after dinner to discuss how to deal with this!"
After they made up their minds, everyone headed back home.
The Emperor doesn't need Princess Anning?
Who would believe this? Other people might believe it, but Zuo Qing wouldn't. Yesterday, he was always by the side of the emperor. The emperor had always listened to everything Princess Anning said and relied heavily on her.
This matter was worth considering!
"Madam, madam, the old master is back!"
The Zuo Xiang Fu was located in the East City. He had only come back twice since the palace banquet yesterday, and upon his return, he had hurriedly left. The ladies of the house were all extremely anxious.
In Shan Nation, the phase is separated into the right phase and the left phase, while the left phase does not have any real power. He is only equivalent to the right phase's assistant and is considered as one with fewer responsibilities and more power.
He had a first wife, four wives, who gave him two daughters, one called Zuo Xiuxiu and the other called Zuo Xiang Xiang. Second Wife gave birth to a son, Zuo Qing. Third Wife only had one daughter, Zuo Qingqing.
Second Wife had lived a good life because she had a son. Eldest Wife had only two daughters, but she was married to him. The two of them often fought openly and secretly, so his home was not at peace.
As long as nothing serious happened, his wife's family would be too powerful. Otherwise, his position as the matriarch would have been taken away by the second wife long ago. He was completely unaware of all this, as long as they didn't disturb him and let him fight with them.
The atmosphere in the Zuo family today was a little different, because Zuo Qing suddenly asked about the backyard.
"Why haven't we seen Qing’er and her daughter?"
"Why did the old master ask about her? I let them think about it in their own courtyard. Sigh, speaking of this girl, she really shames our Zuo Family to the extreme …"
"What's wrong?"
"Old master doesn't know, but she hasn't returned since the banquet last night. It was almost dark today before she returned. She hasn't seen a single woman for the entire night …"
The first wife tried her best to discredit this bastard. She was born better than her two daughters, but Zuo Qing interrupted her.
"Alright, stop making wild guesses. She was frightened after the palace banquet yesterday, I'll go and see her."
Of course, no one in his family knew about Qing’er's matters. Although this daughter was naturally well-behaved, it was a pity that her mother's outer sect was just a small family. Furthermore, she was only a concubine.
Today, he only found out that something had happened to his daughter after seeing the list. Because he was busy, he only called for the third wife to fetch his daughter. He had almost forgotten about it afterwards.
As a father, he first had to take care of his daughter to show that he knew she had been wronged.
Not long after Zuo Qingqing had returned home, the first wife came and scolded them and banned them from going in. She was worried about her date with Dongfang Ning tomorrow, so if she did, how would she meet the princess?
This was the first time she wanted to see her own father. If it wasn't for something important in her heart, she wouldn't have come out to see him. In any case, her mother and daughter were not in the family, so there was no need to curry favor with anyone.
"Since you have nothing else to do, then rest early. I still have to go to the palace to take care of some important matters."
"Respectfully sending off the old master!" When the third wife heard that this man was leaving after just a short while, she didn't say anything more. It was enough for her to have a daughter.
"Father, take care. Your daughter has a request …"
Zuo Qingqing hurriedly called out to her father. If she didn't say anything now, she would miss her appointment tomorrow.
"Mm, what is it? Tell me!"
Zuo Qing had a dignified look on his face as he looked at his daughter. This daughter of his was graceful and elegant, and he had never really taken her seriously before.
I didn't expect it to be so old already. It should be the year of marriage, right?
He actually didn't know that this daughter of his had already been granted Cen Family by her own wife.
Zuo Qingqing adjusted her words before slowly saying,
"Your daughter agreed to Princess Anning's invitation at the infirmary today. I'm going to play at Princess Mansion tomorrow, so I ask father to agree. I beg mother to let your daughter go and agree before coming back to continue the confinement …"
"What?"
