Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace - Chapter 989
Chapter 989 Liu House
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Gucheng, you talk much better than before! I never asked you, do you like talking?”
Gucheng pursed his lips and said, “I stuttered when I was a child and tried to speak as little as possible, so that’s why. It’s not that I can’t speak. Miss Qi doesn’t need to care.”
“So it is.”
Jiang Ning looked down at the retreating house, grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands, “Gucheng, why is your face hurt?”
“The sword has no eyes, and injuries are normal.”
“Is my uncle injured?”
“There are some, no harm.”
“That’s good. However, you didn’t protect the uncle by his side, how did you come to the city?”
“It’s the command of the general.”
“The eldest uncle is really predictable. Let’s go to Liu’s house quickly!”
The Liu family she was talking about was Liu Lang, the husband’s family of the county magistrate Ling’an.
Ling An, as the county lord, has her own county lord mansion, but she is the only one who lives there, and Liu Lang and his two children still live far away.
When Jiang Ning arrived, he saw that there were guards in Jinyi outside Liu’s house.
“Send me in.” Jiang Ning whispered to Gucheng.
“Who is Miss Seven looking for?”
“Look for the county magistrate of Ling’an.” Jiang Ning said softly, “King Zhao’s people took the county magistrate of Ling’an as a hostage and forced the prince of Wutong to help him. Only by rescuing the county magistrate of Ling’an can we relieve the eldest uncle.”
Without such a helper as the Wutong County King, the Queen and Li You would not be able to make waves with only a few thousand brocade guards.
Gucheng nodded, stopped talking, and led her away from Jin Yiwei’s eyes and ears, lightly jumped over the high wall, and landed in the Liu’s yard.
Liu’s house was a mess.
From time to time, servants hurried past, and there was a faint sound of weeping.
Jiang Ning saw that a maid was a little familiar, so he hurried over to grab her.
The maid was about to scream in fright, but was blocked by a sword from Gucheng.
“…Uuuu, you?” The maid widened her eyes and looked at him in horror.
“Don’t be afraid, we are not bad people.” Jiang Ning hurriedly explained, “Are you the person next to the Lord Ling’an?”
“Yes, slave maid Peach Blossom.” The maid calmed down, looked at Jiang Ning, and immediately recognized her, “God, you, you are not…”
“Yes, I’m the Crown Princess. You take me to see the Lord of Ling’an.”
“But……”
“The one who put you under house arrest is King Zhao, and I am the Crown Princess. Do you think I will help him?”
“Ah, yes!” Peach Blossom panicked, “In that case, come with me, the county magistrate and the others are in the backyard.”
Jiang Ning and Gu Cheng followed her to the left and right, passed through several gates and porches, and finally came to a remote courtyard.
This is by no means where the head of the family lives.
Peach Blossom stammered her explanation: “To be honest with the Crown Princess, those jinyi guards outside are very fierce, and they come in from time to time to try to do their best. Some family members have been taken away because of their resistance. I don’t know if they are alive or dead. Terrified.”
“Okay, take us in.”
“Princess, come from here.”
Peach Blossom stepped forward and knocked on the door carefully.
A frightened voice came from inside: “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Taohua. Mommy Sun, open the door.”
The courtyard door creaked open, and a woman looked nervous. When she saw it was a peach blossom, she was relieved, and she saw Jiang Ning and Gucheng behind her, and she was so scared that she was about to close the door.
Peach Blossom hurriedly reached the door: “They are not bad people, she is… a former friend of my county lord, who is here to help the county lord, please invite this lady in!”
