Chapter 640: Disappearing Out of Thin Air
Emperor Chu sneered, then raised his head, "Someone, escort Mu Shangshu to Dali Temple." "I really think he doesn't dare to take this Ministry of Works?
When Mu Tianda heard his order, he didn't feel shocked at all, but sighed a little depressedly.
In this way, Mu Tianda was angry and was thrown into the prison of Dali Temple by Emperor Chu on a casual charge.
As for the conviction trial or something, he was not in a hurry at all, he just wanted to lock up Mu Tianda and kill Rui Qi first.
However, the news was soon sent to the palace.
"Master, Your Majesty has taken Mu Shangshu to Dali Temple and locked him up, do you want your subordinates?" Zhang Hua looked at his expressionless master in the study, and made a strange move.
Chu Lige stood up, looked out the window with his hands in his hands, and said lightly for a while, "Don't pay attention to it." ”
Zhang Hua opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then was so stunned that he involuntarily raised his voice and repeated, "Ignore it? ”
Chu Lige turned his head, his eyes were slightly cold, and he unceremoniously lost his disgusted eyes, and his cold expression was full of the word irritability.
The round-faced guard, who is often disliked, can only pull the corners of his mouth and smile helplessly, "Yes, ignore it." ”
Zhang Hua touched his nose, looked at the radiant figure again, and asked tentatively, "Where is the Temple of Heaven?" ”
The master was sure that His Majesty would not really take Mu Shangshu seriously, so he ignored it, which is understandable.
But the pair of ...... surnamed Mu who were trapped in the Temple of Heaven, thinking of the strict guards on the side of the Temple of Heaven, Zhang Hua felt worried for a while.
If someone wants to do something about the people trapped in the Imperial Dome, it will be difficult. But if it succeeds, if something happens at that time, it will definitely be classified as an accident, or an accident caused by the punishment of Providence.
Chu Lige glanced at him complicatedly, and then said lightly in a still calm tone, "That's it." ”
"That's it?" Zhang Hua was stunned, completely unable to keep up with what kind of thinking the master was, "What is it like this?" ”
Leave it alone?
Or try to put someone in there to protect her?
Thinking of inserting people, the smile on Zhang Hua's pleasant and round face disappeared unconsciously. This matter is really not ordinarily difficult to do, but it is related to Miss Mu's life, and no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done.
Zhang Hua smiled, thinking about this very seriously.
You must know that now Mu Xiaofeng has been trapped in the Temple of Heaven for two or three days.
For the time being, nothing unusual has been found over there, but there are still a few days in the future, who can guarantee that Miss Mu will be safe and sound in the next few days?
However, after working hard for the past few days, their people have no way to blend in .......
Thinking of this, Zhang Hua couldn't help but feel a deep headache of frustration.
Chu Lige didn't explain to him again, except for a cold and indifferent cold look, he didn't say anything else.
When Mu Tianda was suddenly locked up by Emperor Chu, Xia Xingshen naturally received the news, but at this time, he also chose to wait and see.
In addition, he was in step with Chu Lige, wanting to secretly insert people into the Temple of Heaven to ensure Mu Xiaofeng's safety.
However, because the Temple of Heaven is open and open, it is not easy to place people.
Just when Xia Xing was thinking hard, a far-reaching event happened in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Early this morning, Xia Xingshen left the house to go to the morning court, and his younger brother Xia Xingheng also left the house to go to the school after breakfast. At this time, there was only Mrs. Xia in the right prime minister's mansion. She is in the house, and she personally plants and takes care of the flowers and plants in the garden on weekdays to pass the time.
Before you know it, most of the day has passed. She looked at the sky and couldn't help but feel a little strange. According to normal times, the school has already ended at this hour, and Xia Xingheng should have returned to the house early.
Even if she is occasionally late, Xia Xingheng will sensibly send a little girl back home to tell her first.
Mrs. Xia sat silently in the hall for a while, and after about another cup of tea, Xia Xingheng still didn't come back. She was a little restless, she looked at the door worriedly, and couldn't help but order, "Dongmei, you go to the door to inquire and see when the little young master will return home?" ”
"Madam, don't worry," Dongmei immediately put down her work and comforted her with a smile, "The little young master is probably delayed by something, so the slave will go to the front yard to have a look." ”
Mrs. Xia looked at the sunset outside and said uneasily, "Go quickly." ”
Dongmei answered, and then moved quickly to the front yard.
After a while, Dongmei went and returned. However, her face was not good.
"Madam," Dongmei walked into the hall, barely squeezing out a smile, and said in a calm tone as much as possible, "There is no news of the young master in the front yard, presumably he has already rushed to the mansion at this time, you have to be patient and wait." ”
"The slave and maid have already asked people to pay attention to him, and as soon as there is news about him, he must tell Madame as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xia could only barely hold back her worries, nodded, and sighed helplessly, "Maybe you're right, Xingheng, this kid has always been measured, probably really stumped by something, I'll be patient and wait." ”
Although Mrs. Xia reluctantly listened to Dongmei's persuasion, she could no longer sit in the hall and wait.
"I remember that there is still a flower tea plant in the yard that has not been pruned properly," she said to herself, but stood up, "Dongmei, you bring my pruning tools, and I will stay in the yard for a while." ”
Dongmei knew that this would give her something to do, and it was best to be able to distract herself and not think about it, so she hurriedly responded.
After a while, Dongmei quickly moved all the tools to the yard.
However, Mrs. Xia picked up the scissors to prune the branches, but suddenly saw the butler hurriedly walk in with a small look.
From a distance, the butler's expression was solemn, and the little guy who followed him was about to cry.
"Madam," the housekeeper was in a hurry, and at this time he didn't even care about strictly observing the distinction between master and servant, so he shouted at the door, and hurried over to Mrs. Xia's place, "The slave has something to report." ”
Mrs. Xia saw the face of the little guy beside him clearly, and the scissors in her hand fell down with a "clang" in her distraction.
Her face changed, and she didn't care about being polite to the housekeeper, so she asked urgently, "Steward Gu, is there any news of Xingheng?" Hasn't he come back yet? Are you stumbling over something? ”
A series of words, Mrs. Xia said quickly and urgently. If it weren't for the idea of dignity and humility deep into her bone marrow, she would probably be so anxious that she would have grabbed the housekeeper directly and asked.
The housekeeper met her eager and worried eyes, but shook his head slightly, and in Mrs. Xia's suddenly pale face, he said solemnly, "The slave has no news of the little master, to be precise, no one has news of the little master at the moment." ”
The housekeeper sighed, a little unbearable to look directly at Mrs. Xia's suddenly crumbling appearance, "What is the specific situation, let Chang An tell you." ”
With that, he gave up his position, stretched out his hand and pushed the little guy hiding behind him to Mrs. Xia.
The two little guys of Chang'an and Changning are close to Xia Xingheng, even if Xia Xingheng goes to the school, the two of them will always wait at the door.
So as soon as Mrs. Xia saw Chang An, she immediately asked anxiously, "Chang An, where is the little master now?" ”
"What about Chang Ning? Is it him who stays with the little master? ”
This sentence, Mrs. Xia asked with expectation. In fact, when she saw the housekeeper's solemn expression, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Ma'am, the minion should be damned." The little guy cried and knelt down in front of her with his legs bent directly, "Little master, he, he's gone." ”
"Chang Ning, he is still staying near the school to find the little master, but ......"
"What did you say?" Mrs. Xia's eyes darkened, and she immediately stumbled under her feet. Fortunately, Dongmei quickly supported her, but she was so anxious that she grabbed Chang An's shoulder before she could stand firmly, and asked with a crying voice, "Hasn't the little young master been in the academy?" Okay, how could he be gone? What does it mean he's gone? ”
The little girl lowered her head in shame, and also told the story with a trembling cry, "That's right, madam." ”
He thought for a while, and then said fluently, "When the little young master was in recess, he said that he wanted to eat the sugar-fried chestnuts on East Street, so the slave discussed with Chang Ning, and he stayed at the door of the school to wait, and then the slave rushed to East Street before the little master got out of school to buy the sugar-fried chestnuts he liked." ”
Mrs. Xia was in a trance when she heard this, and she was so worried that she kept grabbing him by the shoulder and forgot to let go.
And Chang An was afraid in his heart, even if he felt that she was scratching hard, he didn't dare to remind him, but gritted his teeth and continued, "The slave went to East Street to buy fried chestnuts with sugar and came back, and the school has just finished school, but the slave and Chang Ning have been waiting at the door for a long time, but they have not seen the little master come out. ”
The slave and Chang Ning were in a hurry, so the slave guarded the door, and Chang Ning went directly into the school to find the little master. Who knows, Chang Ning entered the school, but was told by the master that the little master had left. ”
Chang An said in a hurry, and even his breath was uneven when he said it in one breath, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva before continuing, "However, Chang Ning has been guarding the door, and he hasn't seen the little master walk out of the school at all from beginning to end. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xia couldn't help but exclaim, "So, he, he actually disappeared out of thin air?" ”
Chang An didn't want to admit that such an unbelievable thing happened under their noses, but this was the case. No matter how weird and unbelievable it is, because the stakes are so high, he doesn't dare to lie and prevaricate.
"Madam," he called out to Mrs. Xia, who was already bloodless, in fear, and hurriedly said, "The servant and Chang Ning were in a hurry at that time, and after a little discussion, they first inquired and looked for it in the academy, but after asking many people, they got the same answer as the master, and around the academy, no one has ever seen the little master." ”
