Madam Wang had her long hair draped over her back, her white clothes accentuating her slim body like a fairy. Madam Wang hadn't noticed earlier that Madam Wang had asked her to tidy her hair up before going out to meet her guests, which showed how confused she was. She stuck out her tongue and continued to walk forward.
However, she didn't know that Song Qiuhan, who was restlessly walking around her yard, was looking at her. This girl was as beautiful as a fairy. No wonder Battle King was so infatuated with her.
Earlier, the maidservants had told him to come to the hall to wait for them with tea, but how could he be in the mood to wait? Not to mention the many things that happened in the palace, his mother was also frightened.
"Fang Ning, you're here!"
"Song Qiuhan, aren't you busy? How come you're free to come?"
"Fang Ning, save my mother. Yesterday, she was kidnapped by the West Ridge bandits along with a few other officials, madams and young ladies. The palace is in too much of a hurry, I was busy from morning till night until now and only now have I found out that they were all locked in a dilapidated temple. Her condition isn't too good, the imperial physician has already left …"
"Let's go. Have you brought him back yet?" When Dongfang Ning heard this, she immediately called for her horse to leave. She didn't even bother to lead the horse, instead, she spoke as she walked.
"Mistress, your mother won't allow you out. Master Song, the princess hasn't slept well since returning home early in the morning. She hasn't woken up yet, and she's been robbed by a thief. Why don't I go fetch the old wangfei …"
"This …"
"Xue'er, isn't it safe for you to follow me? Hurry up and go. That's right, ride a horse and ride faster."
"…"
"Yes sir!"
In the southern part of the capital city, about five miles away from Dongfang Ning's original residence, there was a temple on a mountain. In the southern part of the capital city, about five miles away from Dongfang Ning's original residence, there was a temple on a mountain.
She really couldn't tell, but a young fourth prince was actually this scheming. When she heard the descriptions of the people who were tied up and then put back in the temple, she immediately thought of the rough terrain and floor plans of the temple. It turned out that there were many secrets …
This was a hospital located in the capital. At this moment, the outside of the door was crowded with onlookers. The Prefecture Overseer was currently taking notes with a few soldiers.
"Who found you?" A group of women, all of them women. This kidnapper was truly outstanding, as all of them were women.
"It's the fourth prince, Yan Wuhui. He ordered his men to search the fake civilians and found the temple. The fourth prince really did his best …"
The thirteen women cried together. They had been locked up for an entire day, the fear in their hearts indescribable. Once the Fourth Prince arrived, they would certainly worship him as if he were their savior.
"Excuse me!" Dongfang Ning called out for them to stop. The place was so chaotic, so she expressed her dissatisfaction with just her statement.
"This official pays his respects to the princess, the princess is extremely fortunate!" As soon as the Prefecture Overseer saw this person, he immediately left his seat and knelt down, and the others quickly followed suit.
"Get up. There are so many injured people here. Why are there so many people gathered here? Tell those who have nothing to do with you to leave. Continue, I'll listen on the side!" Dongfang Ning said as she walked over to Old Princess Soong, who was unconscious, and checked her pulse.
"Yes, you, Lord Lu, Lord Li …" "All of you can leave!" It wasn't that he didn't want to kick them out, but that these people's officials were all stronger than him. He couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Others might not know who Dongfang Ning was, but this group of officials did. They were called to kneel in the throne room for two hours in the middle of the night. How could they not know what she had done yesterday?
When he saw her say that those who had nothing to do with him had left, even though his family was still in the hall, he did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly took his leave.
"Greetings, Princess. We will leave right now!"
Uncle Wei, you should go to the palace and tell Royal Uncle that life is equal, and that those legitimate merchants of West Ridge Nation should let go of those innocent citizens. We won't kill them, we can expel them, or we can send them back to their countries.
Dongfang Ning suddenly remembered that she did not like war. For more than twenty years, she had fought every day to resolve danger. Life was so fragile and precious. She had to learn to treasure it and not easily give up on herself.
Since Wei Zheng and Wei Lingyun's father, the Prime Minister were also among these people, then these people who were captured must have been his relatives. Dongfang Ning and the West Ridge Nation Prince swam around the streets for half a day, feeling sad for the innocent citizens.
However, this was a matter of the country. No country would allow their enemies to exist on their territory, so she could only pretend not to have seen it. Now that Prime Minister Wei was here, she would allow him to talk to the Emperor.
As for whether the emperor would listen to her or the officials listen to her, she did not care. Following the truth and changing course of events was something she had to learn. She was not stupid enough to force others to listen to her.
Unexpectedly, she said a few words that even children would say in modern times, but in this group of ministers' ears, what kind of shock was that? These words came from the mouth of a fourteen year old girl, but with the appearance of Dongfang Ning and her actions, no one dared to question her words.
"Life is equal."
"Don't do despicable things!"
"See you on the battlefield …"
"Princess Jin Yu's words, this subject will remember them. This subject will take his leave."
The rest of the people on the scene stared curiously at Dongfang Ning, waiting for their husband to leave before bowing to Dongfang Ning. There were only a few injured, and the older ones couldn't take it anymore, the younger ones were all lightly injured, the doctors in the hospital were already helping them with their wounds, so not many people needed Dongfang Ning here.
Dongfang Ning was too lazy to care about others as she was happy to be free. After she finished looking at Old Princess Soong, she heaved a sigh of relief. It was just temporary shock.
"It's fine. You can bring it back to recuperate. Continue using the medicine I gave you last time. It should be fine after half a month …" "Why are all of you looking at me? Do your own thing!"
She raised her head and realized that whether it was the patient or the doctor, they were all around her. What was there to look at? Was there no need to do anything else?
"Who else is seriously injured? Let me see, if not me, then let's go back!"
"We pay our respects to the princess …" At that moment, an old woman came up to bow to Dongfang Ning, leaving her speechless.
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
"This …" The old woman looked left and right with a troubled expression, unable to utter a single word from her stomach.
"Old madam, if you have something to say, then say it to the princess. If you don't, how will she help you?" Xue'er and Mei Er followed her. When they saw that she had hidden troubles, their master was anxious for her.
"
