Chapter 502: The Emperor's Decision
took Li Yuxin out of the Three Princes' Mansion, Mo Xuan asked Suifeng, who was waiting outside, to send Li Yuxin back to the Zhaoguo Mansion, and he rode directly to the palace.
Although Li Yuxin was also worried about Li Yuqing, she couldn't help herself, and following Mo Xuan would only add trouble to him, so she didn't say anything and followed the news of returning to the mansion with the wind.
Before leaving, Mo Xuan told her not to talk to anyone about Li Yuqing's disappearance, not even Zhao Guogong and Li Minghao, Li Yuxin knew that this matter was very important, nodded and repeatedly promised that no one would tell her, and Mo Xuan was relieved to let her leave.
Mo Xuan hurried all the way to the palace, and came to the main gate No matter who it was, whether he was sitting in a sedan chair or riding a horse, he had to get down and enter the palace on foot, but Mo Xuan was so anxious that he couldn't care about this ordinary etiquette at all, and he didn't slow down when he arrived at the main gate, and rushed over directly, when the guards guarding the door reacted, he had already entered, turned around and wanted to chase, and when he saw that it was Mo Xuan, he thought of the emperor's favor for him, so he gave up and went with him.
Mo Xuan rode all the way to the emperor's usual office in front of the imperial study, which caused quite a stir along the way, but when everyone saw that it was Mo Xuan, no one stepped forward to stop it, if it was someone else, even if he didn't die, there would be no good fruit to eat.
After Mo Xuan turned over and dismounted before arriving at the imperial study, he didn't wait for the little eunuch outside the door to go in to report, so he went straight in.
At this time, the emperor was seriously reviewing the recital, and was disturbed by the sound of suddenly pushing the door, and just wanted to scold, when he looked up, he saw Mo Xuan, who was sweating profusely and looking anxious, running towards him.
When the emperor saw Mo Xuan like this, thinking that he was going to attend Mo Yuan's wedding today, could something have happened, he was shocked, and quickly put down the pen in his hand and got up to greet Mo Xuan, and asked as he walked, "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you, is something wrong?" ”
Mo Xuan saw that the emperor heard his inquiry like this, and knelt down before he walked in front of him, and said, "Father Emperor Yuqing was taken away in the third brother's mansion, and I don't know where the person is until now, I suspect that the third brother did the ghost, can you send someone to the third brother's mansion to check, I think if it was really captured by the third brother, Yuqing must still be in his mansion for such a short time." ”
When the emperor heard Mo Xuan say this, his footsteps paused for a moment before he reacted and said, "The Yuqing you are talking about, is it the young lady that the Zhao Guogong Mansion recognized before, that is, the girl you came to me to marry last time." ”
Mo Xuan heard the emperor say this, and quickly nodded.
"Why did she go to Mo Yuan's mansion, and why did she disappear," the emperor asked puzzled.
Mo Xuan heard it and quickly replied, "Today is the third brother's wedding, Yuqing is with Zhao Wan'er, we were all leaving, suddenly a person who claimed to be Zhao Wan'er's maid came over and invited Yuqing away, I thought I would come back after saying a few words in the past, but I didn't expect to come back until everyone dispersed, I didn't worry about going to Zhao Wan'er to ask, but she said that she didn't send the maid to find Yuqing at all, and he pretended not to know anything when he was looking for the third brother."
The emperor couldn't help frowning after hearing this, "According to what you say, it was Mo Yuan who sent a maid to pretend to be Zhao Wan'er to deceive Yuqing away." ”
"That's how it should be".
After hearing this, the emperor sighed helplessly and said, "You know better than anyone that your third brother has always had ill intentions towards that girl, how can you easily let others take her away in his mansion." ”
Mo Xuan also regretted it now, but it had happened, what else could he do.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the emperor continued, "Did your third brother tell you to let you come to me and let me send troops to search for people in his mansion, your third brother is really kind-hearted, knowing that whether I am hindering his identity or not wanting to make a big deal about it, it is impossible for me to really send troops to search for people in his mansion, so I said this." ”
"Then what should I do, do you just ignore it and continue to let Yuqing be there for him," Mo Xuan said anxiously.
After hearing this, the emperor sighed and said, "It is absolutely impossible to send someone to search the mansion, or I will send you the secret guards around you, and you can arrange it yourself to see how you can sneak into your third brother's mansion and check it secretly, if you find out that Yuqing is really in his hands, we will find a way to rescue her." ”
Mo Xuan was shocked when he heard the emperor say this, and hurriedly said, "If you give me the secret guard, then what about your safety." ”
The emperor heard Mo Xuan say this, and said indifferently, "I now have a lot of guards in the palace to protect me, and there is no shortage of those few people, besides, if someone really wants to harm me, just like your third brother did last time, those secret guards can't protect me, so whether I want it or not, in fact, it makes no difference to me, it's better to help you do something as much as I can." ”
Mo Xuan listened to the emperor's seemingly indifferent words, and his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Mo Xuan always thought that he would become more or less tough when he came back this time, and he could protect the people he valued, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still couldn't protect anyone, which made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
He secretly swore that if Li Yuqing's difficulty could be successfully passed this time, he would expand his manpower and work harder to make himself stronger, so that he could protect the people around him from any more harm.
Seeing that Mo Xuan did not refuse, the emperor stepped forward to help Mo Xuan up, and then took out a thumb-length flute from his sleeve, put it in his mouth and blew it hard, and then a loud flute sounded, and in a moment there were five or six people wearing black power clothes and masked faces in the room, no need to think that these people should be the secret guards around the emperor.
After the people arrived, several people stepped forward one after another, knelt down in front of the emperor and Mo Xuan, and said, "Humble and knock to see the emperor's five princes."
When the emperor heard this, he waved his hand to get them up, and then said, "You have been by my side for many years, although you have missed during this period, you have also saved me many times, I am very grateful to you, but what I want to say to you today is that from today onwards, you don't have to follow me, go to the side of the fifth prince Mo Xuan, I hope that you can protect him in the future as you did when you followed me." ”
After the emperor said this, the secret guards didn't react, Mo Xuan hurriedly said, "Father, the emperor can't help it, I just want to use the ability of these people to help me find Yuqing's whereabouts, how can you give them to me directly, besides, I also have a lot of secret guards, where do I need so many people, let's wait for them to help me find Yuqing and then come back to protect you." ”
"These people have been selected by thousands of people to protect the emperors of the past dynasties, how long can my father last on this throne when he is old, you will inherit my throne in the future, so these people will give you the same sooner or later. ”
"That..."Mo Xuan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the emperor raising his hand.
"Needless to say, the top priority now is to find Yuqing as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
Mo Xuan heard the emperor say this, and sure enough, he didn't argue any more.
