Chapter Seventy-Three: Faith

Princess Rongxian was lost in the palace, the imperial concubine ordered a thorough investigation of the whole palace, to Zuihou, even the emperor was alarmed, Princess Rongxian's palace was searched all over the vicinity, and even the east palace of the prince in the palace went in to search once, just met the prince and the palace guard commander Zhuang Lijue drank and talked, did not stop, but it was very reasonable to ask someone to come in and check it.

Completely contrary to the situation in the palace where the forbidden army went out to search everywhere, in the imperial concubine's bedroom, there were only three people, Nalan Mingxiu closed her eyes slightly, and the atmosphere was quiet and calm, so that the other two people did not dare to come out.

"That's the answer you gave to Hongu?"

The tone was soft, the voice was tactful, but the body trembled in the face of the girl who was kneeling on the ground, and the ground was pale in fear, losing all the color of blood.

"Niangniang, the slave maid is not doing well, let the mother punish her!"

Kneeling on the ground, Hansleeve bit her lip, and there was no words begging for mercy, her palms flipped over, and the backs of her hands pressed tightly against the smooth floor, clasping her head between her hands.

"In the end, it's the old man around the palace, you know the rules of the palace, it's just that, you have done everything that the palace has explained, and you haven't done it, it should be the prince's luck this time, with sleeves, you should know how to do it, this palace will not embarrass your family, you can go with peace of mind!"

The first half of the sentence seems to be full of grace and tolerance, but the second half of the sentence is a hidden murderous intention, with tears in his sleeve eyes: "Slave thank you for your grace!" ”

Hansleeve disappeared silently like when she came, or tonight, or tomorrow, there will be another female corpse in the palace, as for Hansleeve, who is the personal servant of His Royal Highness the Prince, how could he die for no reason, I believe that people with a heart will lead all kinds of speculations to fly.

"Yu Xi, how long have you been serving this palace?"

Nalan Mingxiu stretched out his hand, slender jade fingers, enchanting dyed with impatiens juice, and raised the chin of the maid beside him.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave has been serving you for twenty-four years!"

The maid beside her, Han Xi, held a beauty hammer in her hand, and struck Nalan Mingxiu's pair of jade legs crooked on the couch with moderate weight, but she did not squint and did not look distracted at all.

"Twenty-four years?"

The gentle smile on Nalan Mingxiu's lips was stained with a little residue, and her sharp nails pinched into the thin chin of the woman next to her, leaving a little blood: "It's been so long, and you're getting old......"

"Time is merciless, no one can not ......grow old"

"Niangniang, you have been favored by the emperor for so many years, and you are the only woman who can be by his side for the longest time, why do you always do those things that will disgust the emperor......"

Her expression as if she was a puppet became bitter, and she looked at the master she had served for most of her life, and she only felt sour in her eyes.

"Shut up!"

Nalan Mingxiu waved a palm on the woman's face violently, and the slender five finger prints were deeply engraved on the woman's face.

"What do you know, what do you know! I have been with him for more than 20 years, I put all my youth into him, I took the initiative to hold my heart in front of him, just to get a little sincerity, but what did he do? Duan Muheng, he actually fell in love with my sister, my own sister! ”

Nalan Mingxiu hid her face and cried: "That slut, Mingming, I met Duan Lang first, Mingming, Duan Lang loves me, she weishenme wants to snatch love!" She obviously has a fiancΓ© who is a childhood sweetheart, and she obviously doesn't take Duan Lang to heart......"

"The child is innocent......"

Huan Xi's face was compassionate, only she knew all the hardships of the young lady she was serving, and only she knew that the woman in front of her, the most noble imperial concubine in the entire court, had done many irreparable wrongs for this unwilling resentment, and tonight's result, although it did not come to pass, but it did not cause tragic bitterness to be able to let Niangniang stop in time, and she already felt that it was a blessing to invite the heavens, so even if she knew that Nalan Mingxiu didn't want to hear it, she couldn't help but persuade: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also the child you raised!" ”

"No, he's not!"

Nalan Mingxiu's voice was very cold, her hands were down, and the corners of her eyes were still a little red and swollen and wet, but because of the ruthlessness in her eyes, she was more enchanting and weird: "He is the son of the enemy, no matter what the price is, the palace will let that slut, and it is difficult to feel at ease under the nine springs!" ”

Nalan Mingxiu half-closed his eyes: "Go and check that the prince weishenme will come back early, those people who were ambushed halfway have done something, and they can't even stop a person for half an hour, do they want to let the palace dispose of it before they are willing to ......"

"Also, look for Rong Xian carefully, if you find it, secretly arrange for the strict-mouthed grandmother to take a look, this palace will not believe it, his Duan Jinrui's luck is so good!"

"Slaves obey!"

Huan Xi sighed secretly, all she could do was to try her best to help her master hide those things, and at the same time, persuade her, after all, her master, only Nalan Mingxiu, the eldest lady, could only say sorry.

After Huan Xi left, the huge dormitory was too quiet, only wisps of quiet fragrance lingered and entangled, with sticky gentleness.

"Sister, I won't lose to you, your son is destined to bow down in front of my son!"

The suppressed scream in the depths of his throat could only be heard by himself, Nalan Mingxiu's fingers swept across the splendid silk under him, and with a tear, the silk thread outlining the golden lotus petals was divided into two.

The pavilions and pavilions in the palace are everywhere, the eaves of the palace are stacked, covering a small area, if a person who is not familiar with the palace road comes in, it is estimated that the last three days and three nights will not be able to take this majestic imperial city into view.

However, there are many people who serve and guard in the palace, that is, it is connected to the most remote cold palace, where there are one hundred and ten people, so it didn't take half an hour to find Princess Rongxian.

The only thing that is surprising is that Princess Rongxian has not been hijacked by gangsters, and second, there is no accident, the Praetorian Guard is in Wancui Palace, Princess Rongxian's mother Ji Wanfei found the person.

Concubine Ji Wanfei knew that there was such a big thing, and personally asked the emperor for guilt, it turned out that Princess Rongxian thought that she was about to marry far away, and looked at the noisy palace today, many relatives gathered to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and felt that she was going to stay away from this familiar court, away from her relatives and avoided the palace people around her, went to talk to her mother, drank a few more glasses, and the princess drank very little, and she had fallen asleep.

And Concubine Ji Wanfei explained to the palace maid beside her before Princess Rongxian came, and she didn't notify her, besides, it didn't matter if her daughter rested in her biological mother's bedroom for one night or two nights.

Now that the trouble has reached such a big point, the princess was woken up by Concubine Ji Wan, and the two went to the emperor to ask for guilt without waiting for dawn.

The emperor remembered that the princess would not get married, although today's things were not done carefully enough, so that the palace was busy for a while, in the end, he looked at the red corners of his daughter's red eyes crying, and the pale and weak faces of the mother and daughter, and took pity on the mother and daughter, so he simply made an order, so that Princess Rongxian would follow her mother before she got married, and Concubine Ji was very happy to accept the emperor's will, and then arranged for her daughter to be placed in the palace.

This matter, so far, can be regarded as the end, and Duan Jinrui, who was specially summoned by his father to reprimand him for drinking with his courtiers in the middle of the night, misbehaved, and after coming back, he ordered Hu Heng to clean up the entire East Palace.

This time, because Hansleeve, a person he trusted, was also betrayed, Duan Jinrui was angry and cold, Hu Heng knew what the master meant, and made a ruthless move, and secretly detained and interrogated those who were buried in the East Palace but there was a trace of suspicion, not to mention, he really found a lot of details in it, among which in addition to the people of several concubines in the palace, there were actually people from the emperor.

After reporting the results of his interrogation, Duan Jinrui looked at the people who had been placed by the emperor beside him, his face was gloomy, and his two thin lips were tightly pursed together, like a sharp sword blade, revealing the edge.

Duan Jinrui Zuihou still kept the emperor's people, but as for the detailed work arranged by others, he didn't have such good luck, either killed or sent to the miscellaneous supervisor of the Huanyi Bureau, and as for the remaining suspicious people who couldn't catch the handle, they were also sent back to the Internal Affairs Office and sent away.

After dealing with these things and explaining them, the sky has revealed a little light, and he has not slept all night, but Duan Jinrui is not sleepy at all, he slowly paced, walked out of the dormitory, walked out of the main hall, and reached the top of the most towering steps, seeing the snow-robed man sitting there in thin clothes, lonely and troubled back, his heart was also depressed, and he walked to the man's side, regardless of the fact that the steps were not specially cleaned, he sat down by himself, without saying a word, and accompanied Zhuang Lijue to watch the red sun that was slowly rising from the horizon in the east.

Rose juice, grape pulp, bauhinia liquid, agate essence, frost maple leaves, brilliant colors, shuttle between the layers of clouds.

The brilliance of one side has removed the sleepiness of the sky, awakened the bright glow, the glory of the sky, no matter how dark the night is, there will always be light returning, this gloomy, about to overwhelm people breathless court, can he expect that he can wait for the day of peace?

"I'm sorry!"

After a long silence, Duan Jinrui broke the embarrassment of being at a loss first.

Zhuang Lijue's body stiffened, and when he turned his head, Fang Cai's lonely and lifeless aura was swept away, and his black eyes were full of awe-inspiring edges, as well as firm and extreme stubbornness: "It is the subordinates who should be sorry, Your Highness doesn't need to say sorry to anyone!" ”

"Your Highness can't be wrong!"

Zhuang Lijue said, it is a kind of faith, engraved into the whole soul.
