359 Meeting Prince Chu
However, Ning Yue knew very well what the Empress Dowager meant.
She sighed. After asking about the calamity, she took the emperor’s token to the prison.
Ning Yue told Jiang Ying what the emperor was thinking. When Jiang Ying heard this, he frowned tightly.
“Why is it my turn to do disaster relief? As far as I know, Uncle Prince Chu is also in the capital. Why didn’t Uncle Emperor send Uncle Prince Chu over?” Jiang Ying asked.
“Why is Prince Chu in the capital at this time?” Ning Yue frowned.
Why was this matter getting more and more chaotic? What did this have to do with Prince Chu?
Originally, Ning Yue thought that the emperor purely wanted to use Jiang Ying as bait to lure out the mastermind.
But now it seemed that that was not what the emperor meant at all.
If not, what was the emperor thinking?
“Ning Yue, I can’t go out now. I want to trouble you to do something for me,” Jiang Ying suddenly said solemnly to Ning Yue.
Ning Yue hurriedly asked, “What is it?”
“Help me meet Uncle Prince Chu,” Jiang Ying said. “A few days ago, Uncle Prince Chu wrote me a letter and asked me to meet him in the capital.”
He did not know what exactly was going on. Prince Chu’s letter did not say anything. He only asked him to stay in the capital for a few more days.
“Alright, I’ll go.” Ning Yue said something to Jiang Ying and hurriedly left the prison.
After thinking for a while, Ning Yue decided to write a letter personally to meet Prince Chu.
Prince Chu looked at the letter and sneered. He did not believe that Jiang Ying would still be loyal to the emperor after not obtaining his trust!
Look, wasn’t this letter here?
Although Jiang Ying did not come personally, it was the same for Ning Yue. In Prince Chu’s opinion, Ning Yue was a woman. It would be even better if she came.
After Ning Yue received Prince Chu’s reply, she began to arrange a meeting.
Of course, before she went to see Prince Chu, she told Jiang Ying his answer.
“You want to see him alone? Aren’t you going with Uncle?” Jiang Ying asked. He was worried about Ning Yue!
“Yes,” Ning Yue said. It was impossible not to see him alone at this time.
Of course, the guards would wait in the dark to check on the situation.
“Yueyue, I’m really worried. I don’t want you to go alone. Should I get Uncle Emperor to let me out first?” Jiang Ying asked Ning Yue.
Ning Yue did not expect Jiang Ying to have such a reaction. She was a little touched, but she still rejected it.
At this moment, if Jiang Ying came out, Prince Chu might become suspicious. Then the emperor and Jiang Ying’s act would be exposed.
“I’d better go to the meeting myself. Send someone to hide in the dark. If anything happens to me, get your people to take action,” Ning Yue said.
Seeing Ning Yue’s firm attitude, Jiang Ying did not say anything else.
The next day, Ning Yue sat in a large restaurant in the capital and waited for Prince Chu.
She casually looked out of the window and saw that Prince Chu had brought many people over. Ning Yue frowned. What was Prince Chu’s intention?
No matter what Prince Chu was thinking, she suddenly did not want to see him anymore. However, she was still a step too late. When she opened the door, she bumped into him.
When Prince Chu saw her, he was a little surprised. “You’re Ning Yue? Are you leaving early?”
Ning Yue frowned slightly and replied, “I just haven’t seen Uncle Chu for a long time. I thought he wouldn’t come, so I planned to leave.”
Prince Chu laughed out loud. “It’s my fault for making you wait. I came late to choose a gift for you. I didn’t expect Jiang Ying to ask you to meet me alone.”
“Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?” Prince Chu asked.
“Uncle Chu isn’t a man-eating demon. Besides, I’m a princess of Russia. Russia and Great Yun are on friendly terms. How can Uncle Chu eat me?”
Prince Chu was defeated. Ning Yue actually used Russia to threaten him!
“Since Uncle Prince Chu is here, please come in.” Ning Yue smiled and opened the door of the private room.
Seeing this, Prince Chu asked, “Princess Mingyue, did you book a private room in advance?”
He frowned, as if wondering if he should walk into this private room.
Before Ning Yue could speak, the waiter said, “Esteemed guest, this is the best private room in the shop. If you don’t like it, I’ll change it immediately.”
