Chapter 203 Seizing Power (5)
"Your Highness, please spare my life. Although I was sent by the Regent, I am still loyal to Your Highness and would never dare to speak carelessly about Your Highness' words!"
When she saw that Hongshao and Lu'e were both captured, she knew that her identity was also exposed, but she did not expose it to their faces because of the Regent.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart and not stupid at all.
"The group of people imprisoned in the side hall are people sent by the Duanmu family and the Fourth Prince to monitor me. They are a mob and there is nothing to be afraid of. But you..."
Wei Ning smiled slightly. If it was indeed sent by Mu Zihan, she would say, it is really different.
Zheng Tianbao kowtowed quickly: "Your Highness, please understand. The Regent King sent me here just to take care of your daily life, not to monitor you ."
"Oh, the emperor's uncle is really kind." Wei Ning slowly forced a smile on his face.
Looking at that smile, Zheng Tianbao felt even colder in his heart, for some reason.
"The Regent King is very concerned about Your Highness, and later he repeatedly told me to protect Your Highness. This time when Your Highness went missing, the Regent King was extremely worried and chased after Him personally, regardless of the danger. Now that Your Highness has returned safely, I am overjoyed, and I believe that Your Highness must be very happy too!"
Zheng Tianbao kowtowed on the ground so hard that he started bleeding.
Wei Ning listened in a daze, and felt a little sad when he thought of Mu Zihan who was now trapped in the formation in the Netherworld, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Get up, I don't blame you for this." She said lightly.
Zheng Tianbao felt uneasy. Although he heard her calm tone, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Don't be afraid. If I really wanted to punish you, I would have tied you up like a red peony and a green calyx. Although I look stupid, I know clearly in my heart who is good to me and who is not. I can tell the difference very clearly." Wei Ning couldn't help but slow down her tone so as not to scare the little eunuch.
His next role will be very important.
Sure enough, after hearing her say this, Zheng Tianbao felt less panicked.
He knew that if the prince was really stupid, why would the regent go to such lengths?
And after serving the prince for these days, he knew that she was not stupid.
"I hope Your Highness can understand the Regent's painstaking efforts."
"I understand, but what can we do now?" Wei Ning's voice was choked with sobs, and a hint of panic appeared on his pale face.
Zheng Tianbao felt something was wrong with her words and couldn't help asking, "I don't understand what Your Highness is saying."
"Don't you find it strange? I was kidnapped and my uncle went to rescue me, but I came back alone and my uncle was nowhere to be found." Wei Ning said with empty eyes. It seemed that he had suffered a great blow.
Zheng Tianbao's mind buzzed. That's right, ever since he saw the prince coming back in tattered clothes and covered in blood, he had never thought about where the regent was now!
She immediately had a bad feeling in her heart and asked hurriedly, "Where is the Regent now?"
"You should ask who captured me!" Wei Ning's voice suddenly became a little more shrill, "It was the people from the Netherworld! The Duanmu family has long been in collusion with the people from the Netherworld. I didn't expect them to be so despicable. Duanmu Lei approached me before and wanted to make me a puppet, but later when they saw that the emperor's uncle cared about me, they had evil intentions!"
Zheng Tianbao's face turned pale. He was just a little prince. Although he was the regent's spy, he was far from having access to these core secrets.
However, he still knew about the underworld!
