On the way, Jiang Quan rushed over with a group of soldiers and looked at Gu Chen anxiously, "Your Highness, what happened to He Yan?! Someone came to the house just now to report that He Yan was raped by someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Caught."

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "I don't know the specific situation at the moment, but He Yan is probably in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

He wasn't worried about Jiang Heyan's life for the time being. The Prime Minister's Office wanted to arrest her just to rescue Nangong Qin.

As long as Nangong Qin is fine, the other party will probably not dare to attack Jiang Heyan.

....

In the prime minister's house.

A follower hurriedly ran to Nangong Jue and said with a very panicked expression: "Master Prime Minister, what's wrong, someone broke in?!"

Nangong Jue frowned, looked coldly at the entourage below, and asked, "Speak clearly!"

The attendant breathed out and said: "Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, and Shangshu's Mansion are all here, and even small obstacles can't stop them."

Nangong Jue's face turned cold, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "I haven't even settled the accounts with them before, and they still dare to break into my Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Let's go! Bring the truth there, I want to see what they want to do!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a follower flew in and fell directly in front of Nangong Jue. Immediately afterwards, Gu Chen and his group were seen walking towards the house.

The countless followers and guards immediately rushed to Nangong Jue and guarded him fiercely.

The forces on both sides came to a stalemate instantly.

Nangong Jue glanced at the entourage on the ground and stared at Gu Chen in the middle with gloomy eyes, "His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang, are you too presumptuous? This is the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"grandfather!"

At this time, Nangong Yue heard the sound and ran over, not knowing what was happening at this moment.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Nangong Yue, then turned his attention to Nangong Jue and asked coldly: "Hand over the person."

"Who is it? I don't know what you are talking about?!"

Nangong Jue looked at Gu Chen with the same indifference and shouted: "Prince Zhuang, I'm warning you, take your people and leave immediately, don't force me to fight with you!"

Gu Chen smiled.

In the next moment, he quickly pulled out the golden knife of the guard behind him, and with a fierce swing, he cut off the left arm of the guard on Nangong Jue's right. Blood spurted out and stained Nangong Jue's shirt.

"ah!"

The guard instantly fell to the ground, covering his wound and screaming in pain.

Such a shocking scene made Nangong Jue's heart tremble in fright, and his head was covered with sweat.

Only then did Gu Chen stop with satisfaction and put the golden sword back into the guard's scabbard.

Seeing that Nangong Jue was a little unsteady on his feet, Nangong Yue immediately supported him and looked at Gu Chen dissatisfied.

"Prince Zhuang, you came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to commit murder and threaten the imperial officials without any reason. You are too overbearing. Even if you want to attack me, the Prime Minister's Mansion, you should have an explanation."

"explain!"

Gu Chen sneered and looked at Nangong Yue, "Don't you just want to rescue Nangong Qin? Yes, as long as you hand He Yan over to me now, I will ask the Ministry of Punishments to release her immediately."

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Princess Zhuang was kidnapped?!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Gu Chen stared at Nangong Yue and observed the expression on her face.

Nangong Yue said: "I'm afraid Prince Zhuang is looking in the wrong place. We didn't take action against Princess Zhuang. This is obviously a trap designed by others."

"Do you think I will believe it?"

Gu Chen's eyelids tightened. Although his words were still strong, his original determination was gone.

Nangong Yue said: "If we really capture Princess Zhuang, we can just use her to blackmail His Highness Prince Zhuang. Why hide it? This is obviously caused by other forces and deliberately intensifies the conflict between our two families. "

Gu Chen fell into silence. After a moment, he waved his hand to the guards behind him and ordered: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and search it!"

"Prince Zhuang, how dare you!"

When he heard that Gu Chen was going to search the Prime Minister's Mansion, Nangong Jue was furious.

How could he, the majestic Prime Minister of Zhou Dynasty, be suppressed by a prince? Moreover, they didn't arrest Princess Zhuang in the first place, so why should they search his prime minister's residence.

As soon as these words came out, all the followers and guards in the mansion surrounded them and blocked their way.

"Grandpa, let them search. If we really do it, none of us will benefit." Nangong Yue advised.

If Prince Zhuang is not allowed to search her, the other party will obviously not believe what she says. Then the two forces will inevitably clash, which is not good for anyone.

Furthermore, other forces were obviously involved in the disappearance of Princess Zhuang this time. If they really took action, they would be playing into their own hands.

After hearing Nangong Yue's advice, Nangong Jue glanced at Gu Chen indifferently. After thinking for a while, he ordered the guards: "Let them search!"

Subsequently, the guards brought by Gu Chen immediately launched a search of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gu Chen stood at the door, waiting quietly, as if he already had the answer in his heart.

Half an hour later, guard Liu Yun came to him, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, we found no trace of the princess."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chen looked at Nangong Jue and Nangong Yue with deep eyes.

If not them, then who? !

Gu Mao, or Gu Tianming!

"Prince Zhuang, you must give me an explanation today. Otherwise, I will definitely accuse you of your crimes when you go to court tomorrow." Nangong Jue shouted angrily.

"If I wasn't in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you weren't the one who caught me! Maybe I was transferred elsewhere by you. During this period, other than your Prime Minister's Mansion, it's impossible for anyone else to take action against me. Until the matter comes to light, the Prime Minister's Mansion is still the biggest suspect. .”

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, Gu Chen left directly with the others.

"It's so presumptuous!"

Seeing Gu Chen and others leaving without fear, Nangong Jue's face was livid and extremely angry.

Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, who do you think captured Princess Zhuang?"

Seeing Nangong Yue's inquiry, Nangong Jue frowned and asked thoughtfully: "Who do you think is most beneficial to intensifying the relationship between the Prime Minister's Palace and Prince Zhuang's Palace?"

"Who does grandpa think?"

Nangong Jue said in a low voice: "Jin, King, Mansion."

After the last marriage between Prince Jin and the General Mansion, he could sense that the sixth prince had considerable ambitions.

If he also wanted to compete for the throne, he would definitely hope that the quarrel between the prince and Prince Zhuang would become more and more fierce, so that he could reap the benefits.

Nangong Yue frowned and fell into deep thought.

If it is true as grandpa said, His Highness the King of Jin wants to intensify the conflict between the two families and reap the benefits.

Then his plan doesn't seem to be very successful.

Because the two families only had a little collision and did not completely fight.

Moreover, even if King Jin wanted to intensify the conflict between the two families, there was no need to kidnap Princess Zhuang, as this would only make him angry.
