Chapter 426: Unlucky Prince
Nothing happened in the eldest princess's mansion, but she was a little worried about Yan Xi and Xiao Jiu walking home, and when Yan Xi left in a hurry, the old lady asked worriedly: "What's the matter, it's still uneasy for the New Year?"
"When we came back, we were so startled that we jumped out of the car and had to walk back, not far, just a few steps away. After Xiao Jiu warmed up his body, hands and feet, he hugged Brother An, who was screaming, into his arms.
The old lady glanced at Brother An and scolded with a smile: "This kid has been restless since the two of you left, as if he knew that his father and mother were not there, and his little eyes kept looking at the door." ”
The old lady's words were exaggerated, but when the mother's people liked to listen to this kind of talk, Xiao Jiu kissed Brother An'er on the forehead with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's not in vain that I work hard to serve him every day." ”
Brother An was a well-behaved little doll when he was a child, and now as he gets older, he also shows his naughty side, he is very active, and he has to be accompanied by someone to play and talk to him, if it is quiet, he still has to cry twice.
Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Jiu did not eat much in the palace, Yan Xi went out to find the whereabouts of the prince, and she could not return for a while, and she was reluctant to starve the old lady and her brother, so she asked Mu Hibiscus to order the kitchen to set the meal.
"Wait for Yanxi to come back and eat, the family hasn't arrived, how can it be called a reunion dinner?" The old lady disagreed and stopped Xiao Jiu.
"Yanxi has something to do when he goes out, and it's still a question of whether he can come back tonight. Xiao Jiu waved his hand and asked Mu Hibiscus to go to the kitchen to make a notice.
The old lady obviously realized that something was wrong, and frowned, "Why did you startle the horse when you came back?"
"There were artillery shoots on the side of the road. Xiao Jiu said: "The prince's carriage followed us, and when we jumped out of the car, we found that the prince's carriage was gone." ”
The disappearance of the prince is a big deal, Yan Xi will not hide it from Emperor Qian, it is estimated that the news will spread all over after a while, and Xiao Jiu did not hide it from the old lady.
"The prince is gone?" The old lady felt that this newly sealed prince was a little unlucky, it had only been a few days, and he had not seen it on Chinese New Year's Eve, so it can be seen that there are many people who secretly poke and poke him behind his back, and they are also bold, and they dare to attack the prince.
No matter how arrogant the old lady is, she is still in awe of the imperial power in her bones, that is, she lives with her granddaughter and grandson-in-law at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, and she knows more, so she is much better than before.
"Isn't the crown prince still injured? When you come out of the palace, why is there no one to send you off?"
"Our mansion is not far from the palace, there has never been such a thing before, who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to dare to rob the crown prince?" Xiao Jiu's words seemed to be true or false.
The old lady sighed and did not speak, although she is a village woman, but she also knows the importance of the prince, and the villain picked the Chinese New Year's Eve to take the prince away, whether this is life or death, it is difficult to say.
"You have to pay attention when you go out in the future, there are many people in this capital, and there are even more bold people, maybe one day when you walk on the road, you suddenly disappear. The old lady thinks that this capital is actually not as good as Peach Blossom Village, and it is not very quiet.
"Grandma, don't worry, we all follow people when we go out, Mo Yi and they have good martial arts, they won't have accidents, and besides, your granddaughter and I also have a lot of strength, ordinary people can't help it." Xiao Jiu can now control his strange power very well, and he looks no different from ordinary people.
But if you really see her as a weak woman, it would be a big mistake.
"You only go out a few times a year, I'm worried about what you're doing, I'm worried about my grandson-in-law!" the old lady rolled her eyes.
Xiao Jiu said with a smile: "Then you can worry about the wrong person, as far as your grandson-in-law, others meet him, they all suffer, and I haven't seen him suffer, you old man put his heart back in his stomach." ”
The grandparents and grandchildren talked, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed, Xiao Chen focused on teasing Brother An, and only passed by the words of the old lady and Xiao Jiu, and did not express any opinions.
After the three of them had eaten, Yan Xi still didn't come back, but Brother An was very sleepy, ate milk, and was sent back to the inner room by Xiao Jiu to sleep.
The old lady was more than a year older, and she couldn't stay up late, so she sat down for a while and then went back to the house to sleep, Xiao Chen accompanied Xiao Jiu, and when she was not over, she also fell asleep with her neck crooked.
Xiao Jiu shouted Mo Twelve to send the person back to the house, holding Tang Pozi crooked on the collapse and talking to Furong.
"How's your wedding dress doing?"
When it came to her marriage, Fleur was still a little shy, and replied with a blushing face: "It's just a few stitches away." ”
Xiao Jiu said with a smile: "Yuan Hairen is good, you have married and lived a good life, although his body is a little bad, but as long as he is carefully raised, it may not go wrong, you should be more careful." ”
"The slave knows. ”
Xiao Jiu said to Mama Hu again: "There is also Hongyu who serves the old lady, although she has not been with me for a long time, she is also a good one, Mama has to ask when she is free, and she cares about her family affairs, if she has eyebrows, she will talk to me." ”
The old slave wrote it down. ”
There are a lot of people in the eldest princess's mansion, but if Xiao Jiu can really write down and ask a few words, there are only a few of them, and Mama Hu also knows it in her heart, so she will naturally do it.
When it was already over, Yan Xi hadn't come back yet, Xiao Jiu yawned, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he fell asleep after washing up.
**
Let's say that after Yan Xi sent Xiao Jiu back to the eldest princess's mansion, he took Mo Qimo and Mo Jiu out to find the prince, and there was a code left by Mo Yi along the way, but it didn't take much effort.
It's just that when I found Mo, I only saw the empty carriage that the prince was riding, and the coachman's guard who had been cut off his neck.
"Young master. Mo Yi said guiltily: "It's too late for the subordinates to come down, and they haven't traced the trace of the prince." ”
Yan Xi frowned, stepped forward to check the death of the coachman's guard, and said in a deep voice: "A knife to wipe the neck, it can be seen that it is a master, but I am afraid that it is a dead man." ”
The difference between the secret guard and the dead guard, Mo Yi and they are naturally clear, and their hearts are even more faintly trembling, not to mention that the four princes raise private soldiers to raise secret guards, but now they even raise dead soldiers, it can be seen that there are a lot of hole cards, no wonder he dares to rebel.
"The disappearance of the crown prince is big, and this matter must be returned to the saint. Yan Xi said: "I will go to the palace to see the sage, and you will continue to investigate! Go to the patrol battalion to transfer troops, and be sure to find out the prince safely." ”
Although the crown prince is not a completely incapable person, he is afraid that the fourth prince will use the next three indiscriminate means to poison or something, so it is really tricky.
Yan Xi rode to the palace, and the palace gate guards expressed surprise at Yan Xi's return and return, but they didn't dare to ask anything, so they let him go directly.
If it weren't for amnesty, horses were not allowed to drive in the palace, but Yan Xi was a special case, as early as when he was five years old, Emperor Qian gave an edict, so Yan Xi rode directly into the palace gate.
