"Grandmother the Emperor, I don't want the prince's brother to make amends for me, I want a flying bird."

Listening to the Linglong County Lord's milky but serious correction, most of the people in the hall had a feeling of crying and laughing. However, most of these people do not include the two emperors and queens standing next to them.

"Okay, don't make amends." The little county lord is the heart and soul of the old birthday star, and she says that the queen mother depends on her. After a pause, the old birthday star touched the little county lord's head, and said in a tone of hatred and hatred, "Let him make a flying bird for our family Linglong." ”

Comforting the smart and cute little girl of Bingxue, the Empress Dowager raised her head and looked at Emperor Chu with some seriousness, "What kind of kid is Chu Yu call here quickly, I want him to personally guarantee Linglong." ”

Emperor Chu only felt that his forehead began to ache faintly, and most of the eyes of most people in this palace were attracted to the old birthday star, and no one noticed that in the corner, the corner of the slightly drooping eyes of the man in brocade clothes was faintly flowing with a faint cold light.

He sat there quietly, holding a cup in his own right, looking at the bustle with great grace and quietness.

The thrush is calm and cold, but the corners of the lips that are straightened are faintly outlined with a cold arc.

Taking the initiative to release people, and being forced to bring people here with ducks on the shelves, must feel very fresh

For Emperor Chu, this feeling is not only fresh, but also aggrieved and annoying. However, because he is facing the Empress Dowager or today's old birthday star, no matter how aggrieved he is, Emperor Chu can't show his face, let alone declare it.

Taking a deep breath secretly, he stiffened his face and looked at the Empress Dowager. As his gaze swept over the queen's unwavering face, he tried not to let his disgust come out.

"Imperial Grandmother," his voice was deep and oppressively cold, "I will have the Crown Prince brought here to meet you." ”

Hearing the word "pick-up" that was almost squeezed out of her teeth, the queen's cold and unwavering face couldn't help but move slightly.

The Empress Dowager smiled again with satisfaction, "That's right, if there is something big, you can't break your word to our family." ”

Emperor Chu took a deep breath and squeezed out a stiff smile that was not smiling, "Grandmother Huang is right, I will definitely educate him well in the future." ”

After saying that, he bowed slightly and walked away.

So, the Empress Dowager pulled the little county lord to comfort the little ancestor.

In the nursing hall, laughter continued. Emperor Chu had secretly issued a secret order to the commander of the forbidden army, asking him to immediately go to the imperial temple to take the prince to the palace.

Since he was ordered to go, the commander of the forbidden army naturally did not go with a large number of people with great fanfare, and when he went out of the gate of the Ninefold Palace, he went straight to the imperial temple with only three people.

An hour later, the commander of the forbidden army arrived near the imperial temple.

It stands to reason that they just went over and picked up the prince. However, for the sake of prudence, they still stopped outside for a while to make sure that there was nothing unusual around them, and then they appeared at the gate of the imperial temple.

"Who" As soon as he heard the footsteps, the guards of the imperial temple immediately asked nervously.

Of course, it was the Forbidden Army that was guarding the periphery.

"I, the commander of the Forbidden Army." So as soon as he appeared with the token in his hand, the forbidden army on the periphery immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After appearing, the commander of the forbidden army did not go in immediately, and stood at the door and talked to the guards for a few words, "These days, there is nothing unusual inside."

"Don't worry, the Grand Commander is very normal inside."

The Commander of the Forbidden Army nodded, and then entered with steady and square steps.

After entering the imperial temple, there was a heavy guard on the inner layer, and the commander of the forbidden army directly showed the token and the edict of Emperor Chu, and re-entered the center very smoothly.

The crown prince was semi-house arrest in the central hall of the imperial temple.

In view of the fact that the prince is very quiet and cooperative on weekdays, he is a guard who will not enter the main hall to interfere with the prince, and only a few people are arranged to guard the outside of the main hall far away.

The commander of the forbidden army took people, went directly to the door of the main hall, looked at the dark red hall door, and very simply raised his hand and knocked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, the commander of the forbidden army, believes in His Majesty's will, and has come to welcome His Royal Highness into the palace." ”

Unfortunately, he waited for a while, but there was no movement inside.

His brows jumped suddenly, he raised his hand and knocked the door of the palace, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, are you inside?"

Silence, an unexpectedly strange silence wafted out of the inner sanctum.

The commander of the forbidden army chuckled abruptly in his heart and secretly screamed badly. He took a breath and raised his voice again, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you are inside, you will respond to the humble word." ”

As he spoke, he gestured for the other person to quietly open the temple door, while the other two went around to the side window to watch the situation.

There was still no response inside, and Meng Xin's subordinates did not hesitate, and quietly opened the door of the temple after only a while.

With a glance, Meng Xin and his subordinates quickly pushed open the door of the temple and rushed in.

However, when Meng Xin broke in, he was stunned. As far as the eye could see, everything was neatly and orderly, and there was no sign of a fight.

However, in this neat and clean hall, there is no figure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The empty hall had no trace of anything other than the cold wind that poured in from the door.

Meng Xin came back to his senses, and immediately looked around with his heart in a hurry.

At this time, he was still holding on to luck, hoping that the prince was just hiding in a corner and playing tricks on him.

It's just that he actually knows very well in his heart that this kind of luck is purely whimsical.

But if the prince of a country suddenly disappears in the imperial temple for no reason, he, the commander of the forbidden army, will also be responsible. Because the outermost part of the imperial temple is his people who are responsible for security.

While his scalp was numb, he quickly and carefully patrolled around, and at the same time silently deduced the strange situation in front of him in his heart.

Mengxin and the four of them searched around the main hall, but they couldn't find any traces except for the smoke curling on the case to prove that there had been people here.

There is an ear room on the left side of the main hall, which is where the prince eats and lives on weekdays.

After searching the main hall to no avail, Meng Xin stared at the chamber and immediately strode over.

But when I opened the door, I saw that the beds, bedding, and bedding were all neatly stacked.

Disappointment and nervousness, at the same time, rise from the bottom of my heart.

Meng Xin frowned and looked carefully for a while, leaving one person to examine again in the ear room, and he continued to go out to the main hall.

"Commander, there seems to be the remnants of something here."

As soon as he was excited, he immediately hurried to the side of the case. One of the forbidden soldiers pointed to the smoking incense burner, "Look, Commander, my subordinates have found that there seem to be some unburned pieces of paper in the incense burner. ”

"Take it out and have a look."

Almost eagerly, he took out the pieces of paper left in the incense burner, and put it directly in the palm of his hand to identify it, ignoring the soot and heat.

"Picking up speed in the city"

From the burned and crippled pieces of paper, these words could be vaguely recognized, but after arguing, Meng Xin's brows were still furrowed.

His eyes rolled around the faces of the other three, and he asked hopelessly, "Can any of you guess what this means?"

Several of them smiled wryly, shaking their heads almost at the same time.

One of them leaned over to look at the scrap of paper in his hand, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Look, Commander, there seems to be a word here." ”

"Well, it seems to be the sunset word, but the city is the sunset," the man muttered a little blankly, "or the west of the city"

Meng Xin moved, as if he was suddenly blessed to the heart, and blurted out, "No, it should be outside the city." ”

The other three were stunned, staring at him in unison, and said in unison, "Outside the city"

"Yes, out of town." Meng Xin gritted his teeth, his face darkened faintly, "I remember that there is a villa outside the city, called Yingyue Villa." ”

Someone asked in a daze, "But Commander, where can you see that these words are Yingyue Villa outside the city?"

Meng Xin didn't bother to explain to them in detail, so he hurriedly said, "The sunset is only half the difference between the sun and the moon outside the city, if the bottom of the moon is burned, does it look like a day word?"

"Looking at these fragments and traces here, the prince should have quietly left the city to avoid the heavy guards outside."

Someone asked in confusion, "What did he do, evading the guards and quietly going out of the city?"

Meng Xin glared at the man angrily, "You ask me, I ask who to go." ”

After a little hesitation, he hurriedly said, "Zhao Wen, you take these broken pieces of paper back to the palace, quietly greet Your Majesty, and I will take them out of the city for a trip to Yingyue Villa." ”

"Then do you want to tell the brothers who are guarding outside?"

Meng Xin shook his head, "The crown prince disappeared suddenly, this matter should not be big for the time being, it is better to explain the situation here to the Holy Lord first." ”

After the division of labor, Meng Xin immediately left the imperial temple with a few people.

Of course, when they left, the guards outside naturally asked curiously, "Didn't Commander Meng want to welcome His Highness into the palace, why didn't he see His Highness?"

Meng Xin's face did not change and lied, "Oh, I did come to welcome His Highness into the palace by order, but today I just came to announce the decree. ”

After that, he was no longer in the mood to be polite to people here, so he turned around and walked away in a hurry.

Although today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, as the king of a country, Emperor Chu has so many things to deal with that it is impossible to accompany the Empress Dowager from morning to night. Just wait until dinner time and then go over and sit down.

After he went to the Yiyang Palace to celebrate his birthday, he returned to the imperial study to continue to deal with political affairs.

Zhao Wen rushed back from the imperial temple, because the commander of the forbidden army solemnly instructed him, he didn't dare to delay at all, and directly begged to see Emperor Chu. In the majestic imperial study, he quickly explained what he saw and heard in the imperial temple, as well as his speculations and movements.

Emperor Chu twisted his brows and thought for a while, and suddenly lowered his head and hurriedly wrote something.

"You will personally deliver this thing into the hands of Mengxin."

Emperor Chu motioned for Zhao Wen to take the good things, was silent, and whispered a few more words.

After Zhao Wen gave the salute, he immediately turned around and ran out of the palace without hesitation.

After a while, a grandmother quietly came to the palace to find the queen, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Seeing that the queen's cold face seemed to suddenly crack, she frowned slightly and thought about it, then beckoned to Mama Feng, and after a few words of low and serious explanation, Mama Feng hurriedly turned around and left the Yiyang Palace.

This scene was naturally not missed from Chu Lige's eyes.

His Highness Bingshan glanced at the entrance of the main hall for a long time, and a shallow sarcasm slowly appeared in his shining eyes.

Besides, Meng Xin speculated that the prince was most likely because he suddenly received some news, and quietly went out of the city to Yingyue Villa, so he quietly chased out of the city to Yingyue Villa.

It is a matter of the prince's safety, and Meng Xin does not dare to slack off, let alone hold up.

Hurry up and hurry, and finally arrived near Yingyue Villa.

The surrounding mountains of Yingyue Villa are undulating, and the scenery is pleasant. In normal times, it is a good place to relax. But right now, the commander of the forbidden army, who is responsible for the safety of Miyagi, has no mood to appreciate it at all.

Of course, with him, a few people riding fast horses, he would not be so confident that he would rush directly into Yingyue Villa recklessly.

Meng Xin first sent someone to quietly feel around to inquire about the situation, and then waited for an opportunity to move.

In any case, in the absence of clarity, there must be no risk of rushing forward.

The few people he brought with him were naturally not ordinary forbidden soldiers. After only sending it out for a while, he basically figured out the situation on the periphery of Yingyue Villa.

"Commander, I've investigated it, and the Reflecting Moon Villa looks very normal. The servants there were all doing their own work, and there was no tension or any abnormality. ”

Meng Xin was silent, "Can you find out if there is an owner in the villa today?"

The man shook his head, "Listening to the tone of these servants, it doesn't look like there's a master. ”

"But the lowly job has figured out the most central location of this villa."

Meng Xin looked at him a little strangely, "You didn't alarm the people inside, did you?"

The man shook his head, "The subordinates are vigilant, and they definitely didn't alarm anyone." ”

"Then how do you determine the location of the most central part of the villa," Meng Xin stared at him with burning eyes, always feeling that this was too much of a coincidence.

The man scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Unexpectedly, the subordinates speculated when they were lying nearby and eavesdropping on the small talk of these servants. The subordinates thought that there was no master in this villa, so they cautiously touched it and walked in. ”

"Of course, the subordinates only confirmed from a distance, and did not directly break inside."

It didn't sound like there was anything flawed in this, but I always felt that something wasn't quite right. But now is not the time to pursue this, after thinking about it, he said, "You two are waiting here, I guess Zhao Wen should come in a while." ”

"As for me," Meng Xin stood up from behind the tree, looked at the Moon Villa surrounded by mountains through the branches, and said solemnly, "I will first go to find out the news of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

The other two were startled, and the two looked at each other, and one of them immediately stopped him, "Commander, it's better to leave this matter to your subordinates."
