Chapter 9: The Kidnapped Girl

The most annoying thing in the world is that you can't see that you can't eat and be in a hurry, after Su Chaoxi returned to the rockery, people's small theater has long since ended, but the clothes on the ground, the flowers and plants that have fallen inexplicably, all hint that something has happened here, she used to be close to the gossip, but she is far away from the gossip.

Sighing that his only pleasure was flying, Su Chaoxi walked out from behind the rockery in frustration, but unexpectedly he was hit the neck and suddenly fainted to the ground.

"What? Is that really what Mo Huanli said? Zhou Ying, who was sitting in the depths of the peach forest, took the jade pendant fragment handed over by the palace maid, and her voice trembled: "Is it this jade pendant?" Could it be that Huanli has always worn this piece of jade on his body? Zhou Ying carefully stroked the fragments, and his eyes were moist and crystalline.

"It's me who broke his heart, no, I'm going to find him personally, I can't let him go." Zhou Ying got up excitedly and walked out, but when she met someone who was coming this way, her eyebrows sank, and she put the jade pendant in her hand into her sleeve.

"The Great Witch Division is so excited today, how did you think of bringing the Young Witch Division here to hang out? There was singing and laughing in the front hall, and the big witch didn't go to join in the excitement and sticky joy? Zhou Ying smiled and looked at the old Great Witch Division of Longzhong and the Young Witch Division beside him.

"See Shadow Princess." The Great Witch arched his hand: "The songs and laughter in front don't belong to the old minister, the old minister doesn't dare to go to bother, but the shadow concubine is here, and the old minister has something to report." ”

Zhou Ying's eyebrows were slightly raised, slightly surprised, this great witch has always been used by the Empress Dowager alone, but now why did she come to report something? "The Great Witch Division laughed, Zhou Ying has been in the harem all the year round, and people are soft-spoken, and the Great Witch Division's affairs are afraid that the palace will not be blessed to hear it."

"The Shadow Concubine Niangniang's words are wrong, this matter is related to the happiness of the Shadow Concubine's life, the Niangniang really doesn't listen?"

Zhou Ying, a person, abandoned his childhood sweetheart in order to fly on the branches and become a phoenix when he was young, and then regretted that he wanted to try to save Mo Huanli's heart for several years and was physically and mentally exhausted, and he couldn't hear anything in his life, but happiness was the most heard, after listening to the words of the Great Witch, her eyes flashed, and she took a step back: "If the Great Witch Division has anything to say, you might as well sit down and say it slowly." ”

The Great Witch Si waved his hand: "Just one sentence, after speaking, the old minister will leave." ”

"Wizard, please."

"Aracea, save Bing, Suzi lives alone." The Great Witch Si pulled the Young Witch Si to leave such a sentence and left, which made Zhou Ying puzzled, these words were all medicinal materials, did she want to drink medicine? But she wasn't sick.

When Zhou Ying was puzzled, the two Great Witches had gradually moved away from the peach forest, and the Great Witch Division asked in a low voice, "Can this Shadow Concubine really guess the meaning?" ”

"The harem woman is suspicious and jealous, and now she can't think of it, and if she sees someone another day, she can think of it, sooner or later." Shao Si Ming put his hands behind his back and looked old: "I'm just worried about one thing now." ”

"Young master, what you said is true"

"They are anxious for quick success and quick success, and sooner or later they will arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother, you go back and send the letter immediately, it's time for the baby girls who were taken away to be released, it's too late."

"Yes, don't worry, young master. Young master, on the way here just now," the Great Witch Si seemed to have thought of something, and hesitated a little.

"Whatever you see, rot in my stomach, take care of what you have to do, do what you have to do, do you understand?" Shao Si ordered to drink cold.

"Yes, the old slave understands."

The singing and dancing in the Qinghua Hall are staggered, but the old lady is very anxious when she sits next to one person, looking left and right and fidgeting.

I thought that the granddaughter who would be able to behave in the palace finally had a chance to meet the sons of other families, but who would have thought that this girl would be like the wild horse that could not be idle for a moment, just a kung fu that she didn't notice, and this girl disappeared again. After waiting for a long time and not seeing anyone, Old Lady Su looked at the son on the side with some apologies, and reluctantly got up and prepared to look for it himself.

But as soon as the old lady Su got up, he heard a woman in the hall say loudly: "I have long heard that the eldest daughter of General Su's Mansion is not only beautiful and elegant, but also good at literature and martial arts, why don't you take advantage of today's happiness and come up to show it?" It also opens our eyes. ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she looked at the woman who suddenly appeared below with a pair of smiles, and glanced at a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the house: "Dali Siqing, your daughter is straightforward." ”

Nangong Yu, the Qing of Dali Temple, hurriedly got up: "The little girl is young and collided with the Empress Dowager, please forgive the Empress Dowager." ”

"It's okay, what is missing around the mourning family now is such a bold girl." The Empress Dowager smiled.

Nangong Hui raised her head when she heard this: "Then the Empress Dowager has approved Hui'er's request?" ”

"Since you are looking for a girl from the Su family, what's the use of mourning the family?"

At this time, Nangong Hui remembered that Su Chaoxi did not respond, so he looked around for her, but it was unsuccessful for a long time.

Old lady Su sighed, the most tricky girl in the Nangong family in recent years is this Nangong Hui, think about his granddaughter's sneaky appearance that moves like the wind without a trace, and the wolfing disregard for the image when eating, and when he sees poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, chess, calligraphy and painting, he shouts that he has a headache, and picks up knives, guns and sticks to prick a few holes in his body, Old Lady Su really thinks that the person who Nangong Hui said "is elegant and good at writing and martial arts" is definitely not his granddaughter.

Just when he had a headache, Old Lady Su caught a glimpse of Mo Huanli who came in from the corner gate, and hurriedly beckoned him over: "Have you seen the morning and evening?" ”

Mo Huanli's face was gloomy: "Old lady Su, Miss Su is afraid that something has happened." ”

"What?" Old lady Su was startled, and her voice began to tremble: "Young Master Mo, don't scare my old man." ”

Mo Huanli's face was very ugly, and he was only delayed by Zhou Ying's maid for a while after they had just separated, but when he arrived at the rockery, he only found Su Chaoxi's bracelet on the ground, and there were traces of dragging on the ground, but he found many places around him that could hide people but did not find Su Chaoxi, and he could only come back after searching for no result.

Nangong Hui swept a few times and didn't see Su Chaoxi, but she saw what Mo Huanli and Old Lady Su were saying, so she shouted: "Old General Su, where is Miss Su?" ”

Old Man Su walked out tremblingly and kowtowed: "The Empress Dowager, the granddaughter of the old minister and the old minister, she is missing." ”

"What?"

Everyone was shocked. If it weren't for the fact that the disappearance was a matter of human life on such an occasion now, General Su would never have said frankly that he had messed up the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager, and the fifth prince of Mo, who had a close relationship with Miss Su before, also had a gloomy and sad face, and it seemed that it couldn't be faked.

Nangong Hui thought that the old general Su was afraid that his granddaughter would make a fool of himself, so he said nonsense, but after thinking about the stakes carefully, he felt that it was unlikely, so he was shocked: "The palace is heavily guarded, and Miss Su is not an idle person, how could she be missing?" Could it be somewhere else? ”

"Mo Wugongzi went to look for the day and night, the empress dowager, the granddaughter of the old minister, I am afraid that someone deliberately took it away." General Su buckled: "Please ask the Empress Dowager to give an order to find it." ”

The Empress Dowager didn't speak, and General Su kept kneeling on the ground and didn't get up, Mo Huanli glanced at everyone, and walked out of the hall with a flick of his ink robe. He lost people, others don't look for them, he finds them himself.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager glanced at the seats and frowned: "Spread the will of the mourning family, block the city gate, the Praetorian Guards will conduct a comprehensive investigation, and no corner will be spared, once you see a suspicious person, you will be arrested immediately, and the granddaughter of General Su must be found." ”

As a result, the palace that should have been festive and jubilant became very nervous, and each palace beautieth vacated its own palace for the Praetorian Guards to search, and every garden and lake was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, and the treadways were full of Praetorian Guards for a while, and the palace gates were also guarded by the Praetorian Guards. But even with such a rigorous investigation, after a few hours, it was getting late, but there was still no progress.

Qinghua Hall had already stopped singing and dancing, and the Empress Dowager leaned on the soft couch and asked, "Haven't you found Miss Su yet?" ”

The Praetorian Guard, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head: "The Empress Dowager forgives her sins, her subordinates have checked the harem, but they still haven't seen any suspicious characters, and they haven't seen any trace of Miss Su." ”

Old lady Su couldn't sit still, and was helped up by the people on the side, but she still took the overall situation into account and said: "Queen Mother, it's getting late, let's rest first, it's okay to talk about the day and night tomorrow." ”

The Empress Dowager looked at him worriedly: "It's the mourning family who can't stand you, the old general Su will go back to the house first, if there is any news, the mourning family will immediately send someone to inform you, don't be too anxious, Miss Su will be fine." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie is sympathetic, and the old minister retires."

"It's all gone." The Empress Dowager looked at the people who remained: "It's useless for you to keep it, there is no way to mourn the family, can you find it?" Let's all go back. ”

Although the people who stayed were not necessarily worried about Su Chaoxi, they still had to do superficial work, and when they heard the Empress Dowager's words at this time, they all immediately retreated.

The hall was extremely quiet for a while, and the Empress Dowager got up unhurriedly, put her hand on the arm of the old eunuch next to her, and whispered: "This person is so dignified, how can he disappear?" ”

The old eunuch hung his head and walked forward, and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry, the time to come will come sooner or later, and you can't run away from it." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed: "You still speak exactly the same as when you were young, obviously you haven't read many books, and you always come out with Zen words, which makes people annoyed to listen, by the way, how is Ziyun doing over there?" ”

"The Empress Dowager can rest assured, everything is going well on the emperor's side, and I believe that it won't be long before the Empress Dowager will be able to get what she wants."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "Today, I saw that General Su was anxious about his granddaughter, and the mourning family thought a lot, you said that if Ziyun suddenly disappeared and was kidnapped, would the mourning family also send someone to find it in such a hurry?" ”

"The Empress Dowager is too worried, the emperor will not suddenly disappear and be kidnapped, such an assumption does not exist, and the old slave has no way of knowing."

"Yes, that's why the mourning family wants to help so much." The Empress Dowager sighed weakly.

"The Empress Dowager is so sentimental today, do you want to go to the pillar incense?" The old eunuch said suddenly.

"No need, it's better to pray to God and worship Buddha than to rely on yourself."
