Chapter 317: Punishment
Shangguan Yunfan came to Mu Qingge's mansion and handed a letter in. Soon a small attendant ran out of it in small steps, "Master Mu is affectionate." That person was very polite to Shangguan Yunfan, and seeing his extravagance, he didn't dare to slack off at all. led Shangguan Yunfan to the back garden of Mu Mansion, and saw Mu Qingge waiting in the pavilion from a distance.
Shangguan Yunfan and Mu Qingge didn't know each other, Mu Qingge was Xiao Wanyao's person, a member of the big organization she formed, and Shangguan Yunfan was independent of Xiao Wanyao's kingdom.
"Mu Gongzi, under Shangguan Yunfan."
"Please be seated!" Mu Qingge is the most official addict among all the people under Xiao Wanyao, and he has always complained about why Xiao Wanyao let Mingyu manage Jiangnan and let him take charge of her world. And not give yourself an official position.
Xiao Wanyao always smiled and said to him, "Sooner or later, you will be a big official." "I didn't expect to assign him to Wei as an official and give her an undercover agent next to Xue Tianao.
However......
After Mu Qingge waited for the people to serve tea, he withdrew from the others, and after he sat down, he asked, "I've heard of Shangguan Yunzi for a long time, and now I really live up to my reputation when I see it." ”
Shangguan Yunfan smiled, didn't want to be too polite and said directly, "I came here to ask for something, I don't know if Mu Gongzi can make a move?" ”
Mu Qingge came here, thinking about being a big official, and then showing his talents in front of Xiao Wanyao, but after Xiao Wanyao died, he was useless, and now he is a squire in the military department, Shangguan Yunfan has something to do with him, so he naturally will not refuse.
He sighed, "Originally, I came here because she came, but I ......," he paused for a moment and said, "Shangguan Gongzi Mingyu has sent a letter, saying that if you need any help, try your best to help you, you can do your best, as long as I can do it." ”
Shangguan Yunfan saw that he was so happy, and said with joy in his heart, "We have not seen a person in the palace, you were sent here, you must have arranged your own people in the palace, so I want to ask Mu Gongzi to help find out." ”
Mu Qingge was slightly stunned, originally thought there was something big, but he didn't expect that he was just looking for someone, "I don't know, what is the name of the person Shangguan Gongzi is looking for?" Who is it? ”
Shangguan Yunfan had thought about it before he came, and he wouldn't tell Mu Qingge about Xiao Wanyao's still alive for the time being, so he said, "Mu Gongzi must know about Yan Ran!" ”
Mu Qingge smiled, slightly surprised, "The person you are looking for is her?" I heard that because she looked a little similar to Xiao Wanyao, Xue Tianao stayed with her and became a doctor in the palace, but the relationship between Xue Tianao and her was not childlike, and it didn't seem to mean to accept a concubine. ”
Shangguan Yuanfan had to admire Mu Qingge, he knew Xiao Wanyao's affairs in the palace so clearly, fortunately, he never suspected that she was Xiao Wanyao.
"What are you looking for her? Do you know each other? Mu Qingge asked.
Shangguan Yunfan was stunned and hurriedly said, "I have a friend who knows him, and I originally wanted to find her, but when I went to the palace to investigate, I found that she was not in the palace, and there was no trace of her everywhere, I didn't know what happened, I was very anxious, so I came to me for help, Mu Gongzi also knew that I was just a businessman, although I also had dealings with officials in the court, but this kind of thing is better to avoid suspicion." ”
Mu Qingge nodded, and said without thinking too much, "I'll go into the palace early tomorrow morning to have a look, and let people look for her to see if there is any news." ”
Shangguan Yunfan heard that Mu Qingge wanted to help, and he was naturally happy in his heart, so he didn't say anything else, and got up to say goodbye.
After Shangguan Yunfan left, Mu Qingge sent someone to the palace to inquire about Yanran's whereabouts, there was no news that day, and after going down the court the next morning, Mu Qingge learned that someone saw her disappear on the day of her disappearance, and she had not seen her again.
Mu Qingge had some doubts in her heart, why was she with the Seventh Prince?
After he left the palace, he reported the matter to Shangguan Yunfan, and although he had doubts in his heart, he did not continue to investigate the matter. Shangguan Yunfan and the others did not return to the palace after learning that Xiao Wanyao and the Seventh Prince left, wondering if they were still with the Seventh Prince.
So he bought someone to inquire in the mansion of the Seven Princes, and the people in the Seven Princes' Mansion admitted that Miss Yanran had been to the mansion, but she just sat down, took the stomach medicine given to the emperor by the Seventh Prince, and left. Missing.
Destiny suspects that there is something wrong here, Xiao Wanyao is not the kind of person who suddenly disappears, she knows that if they can't contact her, she will definitely be worried, so something must have happened.
"Otherwise, we will tell Xue Tianao about this matter! Let him send someone to search Tang Mingxuan's mansion, and he will definitely be able to find Wan Yao. Destiny said worriedly.
Shangguan Yunfan frowned and shook his head negatively, "How are we going to say to Xue Tianao?" If we go directly to Xue Tianao, won't he doubt our identity? What do we say about the relationship with Yanran? What's more, Tang Mingxuan is not an ordinary person, even if Xue Tianao believes our words and sends the Praetorian Guards to search directly, even if Wan Yao is really in his mansion, as long as he doesn't want others to search out, he can't be searched. ”
Destiny sighed, "What do you do then?" ”
"There must be something in this, we can't tell if Wan Yao is there in Tang Mingxuan, you go and find out first at night, if she is really there, what are we planning to do." Shangguan Yunfan said.
Destiny nodded, and that was the only way to do it for now.
Cheng Jin on the side didn't speak, he was worried about Xiao Wanyao's safety, and he was still struggling with his own affairs. But the most important thing at the moment is to find Xiao Wanyao.
At night, Tianfang visited the mansion of the Seven Princes, although he didn't see Xiao Wanyao inside, but he found something that made him wonder, there must be some important people imprisoned in that place.
After the Mandate of Heaven went back, he told Shangguan Yunfan about this situation, and they suspected that Xiao Wanyao must be imprisoned there, otherwise Xiao Wanyao would not have failed to give them news after so many days.
In order to make sure that Xiao Wanyao was missing, Destiny visited the palace again at night and came to Xiao Wanyao's residence, but she was really not there. This time, they were even more sure that something had happened to her.
In the palace, Xue Tianao was in a coma for a day because of a fever, and when he had a fever, he didn't know whether it was a dream or waking up, he always felt that Xiao Wanyao was by his side, and her smile seemed to be able to see and feel it every day. It's just that every time he tried his best to catch her, she disappeared like a shadow.
Yan Mosu had been staying by Xue Tianao's side, but when he was unconscious, he kept calling Xiao Wanyao's name. Every time she heard him whisper her name in a coma, her heart ached.
She loved Xue Tianao, she originally knew that he had also loved a woman, but she never thought that she would be so affectionate.
When Xue Tianao woke up, he seemed to see Xiao Wanyao's shadow in a trance, "Your Majesty, are you awake, are you better?" ”
When he was about to speak, he found that the person in front of him was Yan Mosu, not Yan Ran, not Xiao Wanyao, his head was raised slightly, and when he saw that it was Yan Mosu, he lay down heavily, "Why are you!" What about Yanran? ”
When Yan Mosu saw Xue Tianao wake up, she was overjoyed, but she heard Xue Tianao ask the names of other women. And it seems that seeing her here, very disappointed.
Seeing that he let go of her hand and closed his eyes slightly, at that moment she wanted to kill Yanran, and she couldn't wait to dig Xiao Wanyao out of the grave and kill it a few more times. He just liked that woman so much? What kind of person is she? It just occupied his heart.
"Your Majesty ......" Yan Mosu choked up a little, but didn't know what to say.
At this time, the imperial doctor walked in from outside, and she got up and got out of the way. Standing on the edge of the bed and looking at him silently, he didn't even ask himself a word, and he never looked back at himself. Here she had been watching him all night.
The imperial doctor diagnosed Xue Tianao's condition, prescribed a few more medicines, asked people to grab the medicines, and asked them to wait for him by his side. Xue Tianao only felt that his brain was groggy, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, but after waking up for a while, he didn't see Yan Ran, and the groggy feeling hit again, so he fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, the lights in the palace were already on, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it was already night, he saw the palace maid waiting next to him, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
The palace maid was startled by Xue Tianao, who suddenly woke up, and hurriedly went to the bedside to salute, "Go back to the emperor, the emperor has slept for two days and one night, and the virtuous concubine has been staying here for the past two days. ”
The palace maid went out and called the imperial doctor, and after the imperial doctor checked the pulse again, she was relieved to make sure that Xue Tianao's fever had subsided.
Xue Tianao drank the medicine under the service of the palace maid, and then lay down again, and then all the concubines in the palace came to see it, but Xue Tianao didn't like to be too noisy and let them retreat.
After all the concubines left, Xue Tianao called Ming Qianxiao, he knew that Qianxiao and Yanran had a good relationship, "What about Yanran?" Why haven't I seen her for so long? ”
Qianxiao replied, "Your Majesty, the slave maid hasn't seen Miss Yanran for a few days, the slave maid has been to the Tingyue Pavilion, but the girl is not here, and then I heard that Miss Yanran seems to have left the palace, and she didn't come back after that." ”
Xue Tianao's heart sank, this Yanran usually looked very concerned about herself, but when she was so sick, she ran out of the palace and went away.
Probably sick people are relatively fragile in their hearts, so when he heard that Yanran was not in the palace, Xue Tianao couldn't help but feel angry.
"Hmph, that's it! Whether it's far or near, you will know when you really encounter something. Xue Tianao said to himself angrily. Ming Qianxiao felt that there must be something strange about Yanran's sudden disappearance, and she was not an indifferent and ruthless person like Xue Tianao said.
She cared about the emperor from the bottom of her heart, although she didn't know why she had such thoughts.
But now that the emperor is sick, she doesn't know what Yan Ran is going to do, so she doesn't dare to make a conclusion about this matter, so she doesn't say anything. Waiting carefully by Xue Tianao's side.
However, Xue Tianao is like a child with a temper, I don't know if it's because of physical discomfort or because of Yanran, he still doesn't want to eat or drink medicine. In short, every time I drank medicine and ate, Concubine Xian Niangniang and other concubines in the palace came to persuade for a long time.
It wasn't until he was impatient that he reluctantly ate some and drank the medicine.
Ming Qianxiao looked at Xue Tianao, who was lying on the bed, taking medicine but getting sicker and sicker, she was very anxious, she knew that only one person could persuade him to eat and take medicine well, but this person was not here.
Chapter 318 Search
After persisting for another two days, Xue Tianao began to have a fever again. Ming Qianxiao couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to the imperial pharmacy to find Doctor Le, usually Yanran was with Doctor Le the most, except for the closest to Xue Tianao. She thought maybe he would know where she went.
However, Dr. Le didn't know, but he promised Qianxiao to help find Yanran.
Outside the palace, the Mandate of Heaven found out that Xiao Wanyao was indeed in Tang Mingxuan's mansion, in order to rescue Xiao Wanyao, Shangguan Yunfan dredged many people, and then used the people sent by Mingyu to protect Xiao Wanyao, and figured out the specific place where Xiao Wanyao was held.
At night, when Tang Mingxuan went out, they rescued Xiao Wanyao at night.
It's just that when she was rescued, she was already covered in bruises, and she was unconscious. After recuperating in Shangguan Yunfan's mansion for two days, he fully regained consciousness.
But the first thing she said when she woke up was to ask, "Has Xue Tianao ever looked for me?" Can the palace be a qiē well? ”
Heavenly Destiny frowned, and said distressed and angry, "You yourself are dying, and you are still worried about others." He clenched the long sword in his hand tightly, and when he saw Xiao Wanyao's scars all over his body, he couldn't wait to kill Tang Mingxuan now.
"Wan Yao, you take care of your injuries here first, Rui'er doesn't know that you're coming back, I'll let him come over to see you when you're better, and I'll talk about other things when you're better." Shangguan Yunfan persuaded and invited the best doctor in the capital to treat Xiao Wanyao.
Xiao Wanyao only felt that her body was almost no longer her own, and there were so many wounds that she didn't feel pain, she only felt that her whole body was like wood. Even the doctor who treated her couldn't help but say when he saw such a delicate woman with such a wounded body, "How can you do this to an unarmed woman, this is still not human." ”
The Mandate of Heaven rushed out of Xiao Wanyao's room, and Shangguan Yunfan saw that his face was wrong, so he asked people to take care of Xiao Wanyao and go out to stop the Mandate of Heaven, "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to kill that Tang Mingxuan."
"You can't go now, Tang Mingxuan must know that Wan Yao was rescued after returning home, and going to him at this moment may be in his trap. We don't know what happened yet, so let's wait until Wan Yao gets better. Shangguan Yunfan persuaded, "It's certain to deal with him, let him live a few more days." ”
After listening to Shangguan Yunfan's persuasion, Heavenly Destiny put away his anger, turned around and walked out, "I'll go out for a few drinks, don't bother me." After that, he left Shangguan Yunfan's mansion.
Shangguan Yunfan sighed at the back of the Mandate of Heaven, and then hurriedly returned to Xiao Wanyao's side.
Doctor Le has been in the palace for many years, and because he works in the imperial pharmacy, although the official position is not big, but there is no one in the palace who is not sick or disaster, there are many people who use him, and he has a wide range of personnel in the palace. After Qianxiao left, he asked many people in private, and finally inquired that Yanran had seen the Seven Princes, and left the palace in the sedan chair of the Seven Princes, and did not come back after that.
Doctor Le called Qianxiao to talk about this, Qianxiao was stunned, her face turned pale, and when Doctor Le saw that her face was not good, he asked, "Do you know something?" What is the relationship between Miss Yanran and the Seven Princes? ”
Qianxiao knew very well that in this palace, she was cheating, maybe whoever and who would become enemies because of the relationship between rights and interests, she didn't want to say it, but Doctor Le asked in a hurry, and she said in a heart, "At first, when the emperor saw the Seventh Prince in the Imperial Garden, Miss Yanran also went, and she said that the Seventh Prince wanted to poison the emperor. He also said that he couldn't take the medicine he gave, but the Seventh Prince wasn't around when he spoke, so he probably didn't know. ”
Doctor Le frowned tightly, "There are many people in this palace, how can this girl speak so without going through her brain, and it is related to the Seventh Prince." ”
Doctor Le spun around in place, "What should I do, it is likely that the Seventh Prince knew about this, so he arrested Yan Ran." ”
Qian Xiao asked anxiously, "What should I do then?" Will Miss Yanran be okay? The emperor doesn't eat or drink here, although he doesn't say it, he always thinks about her in his heart. If she doesn't come back, what will the emperor do? ”
Doctor Le spread out his hands, "I'm just a minion in the palace, what can I do?" Do you want me to go to the Seventh Prince and ask him to hand over the people? I'm afraid that I won't be able to get to the mansion of the Seven Princes, and the head will fall to the ground. ”
Qianxiao also frowned tightly, it is true, they are servants in the palace, where do they take care of those things. She was able to make a special trip to find Yanran because of the emperor's body, and she was already benevolent and righteous. It seems that what Yanran's fate is, only God has the final say.
Doctor Le and Qianxiao didn't figure out one, two, three, for them, they really couldn't do anything. So Qianxiao returned to Taihe Palace with a heavy heart, and it was her turn to serve the emperor on duty at night.
Although Xue Tianao didn't say anything all night, looking at his much thinner face, Qianxiao was also worried in her heart, but she was anxious but couldn't do anything about it.
After serving Xue Tianao and drinking the medicine, Qian Xiao suddenly thought, by the way, the emperor cares about Yanran so much, no matter how powerful the Seven Princes are, can they be greater than the emperor? Maybe the emperor can find Miss Yanran.
After thinking about it, Qianxiao thought of a compromise solution, which was to pretend to inadvertently say Yanran's whereabouts, and when the time came, he would also clear up his own affairs, and let the emperor decide the rest.
After waiting for Xue Tianao to lie down, Qianxiao said, "When the slave maid came here, she went to the Tingyue Pavilion, and Miss Yanran was still not there, on weekdays, Miss Yanran cared about the emperor and always took care of her intimately, but the emperor was sick and suddenly disappeared somehow, which is not like Miss Yanran's usual habit of doing things." ”
Qianxiao frowned, glanced at Xue Tianao, he closed his eyes quietly, and looked unconcerned, but he listened to Qianxiao's words in his heart, "Isn't it that Miss Yanran has something to do outside the palace?" I heard that she left with someone when she left the palace, and she didn't come back after that. ”
Qian Xiao looked at Xue Tianao again, his eyes were still closed, and he didn't want to pay attention to this matter. She didn't say anything more, no one could figure out the emperor's thoughts, she was just a little palace maid who served him, and she was afraid that she would accidentally cause trouble for herself if she talked too much.
I have done my best to help Yanran when I can say this.
Qian Xiao picked up the empty bowl containing the medicine, and when she went out, she glanced at Xue Tianao again, and saw that he was still lying like that, she sighed slightly and then turned to leave, it seems that Yanran's fate can only depend on her own creation.
However, just as she was going out, Xue Tianao's cold voice came from behind her, "Call all the Praetorian Guards on duty on the day Yanran left the palace." ”
Qianxiao was happy in her heart, the emperor really cared about Yanran, "The slave will go." Qianxiao put down the empty bowl and hurriedly went to call someone.
After Xue Tianao's inquiry, Yanran really left here with someone that day. Especially when he heard that Yan Ran was leaving with Tang Mingxuan, his whole heart lifted.
Yan Ran had just said that Tang Mingxuan was going to poison him, and then he disappeared, so he left with him. Xue Tianao was in a hurry, and sent the Praetorian Guards to search Tang Mingxuan's mansion.
At that time, Tang Mingxuan was in the house.
"Daring, do you know what kind of place this is, and dare to trespass in and not want your life." The attendants standing beside Tang Mingxuan roared angrily at the Praetorian Guards who had broken in.
Tang Mingxuan, on the other hand, sat on a chair and drank tea leisurely, not at all as if he was not surprised at all.
The Praetorian Guard led by Ye Bing, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, saw Tang Mingxuan, his tone was a little lower, "The subordinates see the Seventh Prince, this is the emperor's order, the subordinates want to search the mansion of the Seventh Prince, and I hope the Seventh Princes will forgive me." ”
Tang Mingxuan glanced at Xue Tianao's token in Ye Bing's hand, and snorted lightly, "I don't know if the emperor is so aggressive, but he wants to find something in this king's mansion?" ”
"Find someone who is missing in the palace." Ye Bing said, and then waved his hand to order the people behind him, "Search!" ”
For about an hour, this hour, Ye Bing and Tang Mingxuan were in the hall all the time, and they never went anywhere. Until the searching Praetorian Guards came out and returned, "Returning to Commander Ye, I didn't find the person I was looking for." ”
The other Praetorian Guards came out and answered the same, Ye Bing had a slight doubt in his heart, but in front of Tang Mingxuan, it was probably inappropriate to continue the search, and he hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates will go back to the emperor, the seventh prince is offended." ”
After that, Ye Bing left Tang Mingxuan's mansion with his Praetorian Guards.
The attendant standing beside him was like crazy, pointing at Ye Bing's back and scolding angrily, "A small Praetorian Guard commander is nothing, and he dares to show off his might here." Seventh Prince, this emperor doesn't take you seriously, if this kind of thing is to be spread, I don't know what to say about it. ”
Tang Mingxuan looked calm and sneered, "For a woman to make such a big move, he actually searched my mansion, Xue Tianao really cares about this person, it's good to spread it, let those ministers in the palace see what kind of emperor they are assisting." ”
After Ye Bing left Tang Mingxuan, he had some doubts in his heart, before Yanran went to him to see a doctor, and brought good medicinal materials, checked his pulse, and wrote a prescription, but he said some strange things, and when he understood what she meant, he drove her out mercilessly.
Although he didn't know what medicine Yan Ran took wrong that day to find him, he was still grateful to Yan Ran for seeing him sad, after all, he was able to get better so quickly because of the prescription Yan Ran prescribed.
So this time he looked for Yanran, firstly, to thank her, and secondly, he wanted to know who she was asking for what she said at that time. He left behind two Praetorian Guards, disguised as ordinary people, to guard the door of the Seventh Prince's mansion.
After more than half a day passed, the two Praetorian guards guarding the door caught a small servant in Tang Mingxuan's mansion, and under coercion and intimidation, they finally told the truth, Yanran had indeed been to the mansion, and was imprisoned by Tang Mingxuan. It's just that he was rescued after that, and he doesn't know where to go.
Ye Bing asked, "Do you know why the Seventh Prince wanted to arrest Miss Yanran?" What is the festival between them? ”
"The minions really don't know, the minions are just in charge of the care. The others really don't know, adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives! The little guy kowtowed again and again.
Ye Bing pondered for a moment and said, "If I let you go, this matter will never happen, I have never seen you, I have never asked about Yanran, and you have never mentioned it to me." You'd better think clearly, if the Seventh Prince knows that you told others about him, can your life be saved. ”
"The minions understand, the minions don't know anything, no one has seen them."
After that, Ye Bing let him go. R1154
