Chapter 268: The Emperor
Spring Leiqin is gone? Luo Yan's surprise was not trivial, and her mood that had just calmed down made waves again.
"How so?" Rong Xi was a little unconvinced. Stepping into the courtyard and walking towards the dust house.
Yu Chen was pacing back and forth in the house wearing fox fur, and when he saw Rong Xi coming in, he immediately showed a bitter look, "Brother Rong Xi, little brother is useless, you have repeatedly said that I am optimistic about Chun Lei Qin, but I didn't care about it, and Chun Lei Qin disappeared." The doors and windows are fine, and I haven't left the house......"
"Where did you put it?" Rong Xi looked at the long case at the head of Yu Chen's bed, this is also the only place where the Spring Lei Qin can be placed. Sure enough, Yu Chen said that Chun Leiqin was placed on the long case at the head of the bed...... I went to the kitchen to eat a bowl of porridge boiled by Jiu'er, and when I came back, Chun Leiqin was gone.
Rong Xi looked around, and Luo Yan also checked, there was indeed no trace of someone turning over the house, it didn't look like a thief was visiting......
"When did you find out that Chunleiqin was missing?" Rong Xi did not blaze like thunder and blame Yu Chen, which soothed Yu Chen's nervous and worried heart.
"It's about a pillar of incense when you come back, Jiu'er said that you go for a walk, you must be hungry when you come back, eat hot porridge and then sleep, your heart will be warmer and more comfortable......"
Jiu'er had tears in her eyes, just now Yuchen said that Chun Leiqin was gone, and Jiu'er was so frightened that her face was pale. Yu Chen only said that the Spring Lei Qin was Rong Xi's favorite thing, and said that it would be good to buy another piano for Rong Xi. Unexpectedly, Jiu'er said that the Spring Thunder Qin was extremely precious, and even Zhao Bocong had to keep it for Rong Xi, otherwise he would not have let Rong Xi take the Qin into the palace to play this time......
"It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Rong Xi patted Yu Chen's shoulder.
"Then do you want to report to the police tomorrow morning?" Jiu'er said urgently.
"Maybe the spring thunder will appear again tomorrow morning." Luo Yan smiled, this is just a good wish of hers, she just doesn't want everyone to be upset about this. Although the Spring Thunder Qin is good, it is just a piano!
Everyone went back to the house to sleep, and Rong Xi sat on the edge of the bed and was distracted.
"What do you think?" Luo Yan changed her bedding clothes and came over to help Rong Xi change her clothes.
Rong Xi came back to his senses and took Luo Yan's hand, "I'm thinking about Guanyin sitting on the lotus!" ”
Luo Yan sneered. At this time, Rong Xi can still joke, which shows that he can still be calm when he loses Chunleiqin.
The two went to bed hand in hand, tired from the day, lay down for a moment and fell asleep. This sleep was extraordinarily heavy. Extraordinarily fragrant. It wasn't until Jiu'er came knocking on the door that Luo Yan opened her eyes.
"Miss, someone outside the door is asking to see the third master."
Luo Yan opened the door, Jiu'er's face was pale, obviously she hadn't slept well all night. "The slave and maid searched again in the morning. Still haven't found Chunleiqin. ”
"Let's not talk about this first, who is asking to see the third master?"
"It's from the palace, let the third master enter the palace."
"Oh?" Luo Yan was a little strange, if Zhao Bocong came to invite, he should have said it directly, but the person who came was hiding and refused to reveal his identity.
"The third master hasn't gotten up yet, I'll go see who it is first."
Luo Yan and Jiu'er arrived in front of the door of the East Fence Treasure Pavilion Shop, and sure enough, a palace-style carriage was parked outside the door. Wasn't the person standing next to the car the great eunuch who was in the Cining Hall yesterday?
Luo Yan's heart froze, could it be that the emperor wants to see Rong Xi?
"Oh, this must be the young lady!" The great eunuch looked humble. "The old slave came to invite Rong Xi and the young lady to enter the palace, and the young lady was troubled, the old slave had to hurry, I am afraid that it would not be delayed."
"There is a father-in-law, I don't know who wants to see my father-in-law?"
"This?" The big eunuch laughed, "I'll know when Gongzi Rong goes." ”
"Alright! Please wait a minute. My father-in-law will be here soon. Luo Yan asked Jiu'er to wait for refreshments, and the big eunuch waved his hand again and again, "No need to be polite!" As he spoke, he looked into the store, and Xiao Qi was sitting at the counter fiddling with the abacus.
"Rong Liu and Yang Lin have both returned to Yangzhou?"
"They left last night, but they will come back to deliver the goods in the evening......
Luo Yan and Jiu'er went to the backyard again. "What's going on? Why did they leave overnight. ”
"Yesterday evening, a lot of people came to the shop, all of whom named the jade bottle and Ailian's jewelry. So they went back overnight to catch the goods......"
Luo Yan sighed, I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly! The ladies wearing Ailian's jewelry on the Cining Hall are all guests snatched from the Liuli Huacai Workshop. Last evening, the news that Dongli Treasure Pavilion ordered jewelry and jade bottles for the palace spread all over the capital......
Rong Xi packed up and parked in front of the shop, and the old eunuch asked him to get in the car. Rong Xi turned around and instructed Luo Yan a few words, "Rest well, don't think about other things, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." I'll go back and warm the plum wine at noon......"
"Okay, warm two pots!" Luo Yan leaned in front of the door and watched Rong Xi's carriage gradually move away, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, obviously it was summoned by the emperor, but she did it so privately......
The carriage passed by the Zhaohua Building, and there was a noise in front of the Zhaohua Building. Several officials from the Criminal Department came out of the Zhaohua Building and chatted with the old bustard, "...... Be generous with girls...... Can't think of ......."
The carriage clattered past, and the few words that floated in made Rong Xi frown. Although this result is what he wants, but the Criminal Department handles the case like this, is it not equivalent to disregarding human life?
Rong Xi sighed, and the big eunuch smiled: "What kind of sigh is Gongzi Rong!" It's a good thing to enter the palace, the old slave has achieved the position of head in the palace, and it is the first time to go outside the palace to pick up a civilian into the palace...... According to the old slave, Rong Gongzi is only afraid that the blessings are inexhaustible, and the time has come to run......"
"Borrow the auspicious words of my father-in-law!" Rong Xi smiled and arched his hand......
When the carriage arrived at the main gate of Li, the big eunuch didn't even need a waist card, and the carriage drove straight in, and it turned out to be the Palace of Nourishing Hearts. When he saw the big eunuch in the East Fence Treasure Pavilion, Rong Xi had already guessed the ** points, and at this time, he was even more sure that it was the emperor who summoned him......
At this time, the emperor was wearing civilian clothes, sitting in the warm pavilion of the east wing, holding a book and slowly flipping through it. There was a stove of agarwood crumbs burning on the table of the golden lacquer pit, a few wisps of light smoke rising up, and a few budding red plums were inserted in the tangled mutton fat jade bottle next to it. The light from the bright window shone on the emperor's face, less of the majesty of the previous dynasty, and a little more bookish.
Rong Xi stood at the door, looking at the scene in front of him, it was a little unreal, wasn't that tangled branch mutton fat jade bottle produced by the East Fence Treasure Pavilion!
"Back to the emperor, Rong Xi has been brought." The chief eunuch walked up to the emperor's side and said.
"Well, you go down first!" The emperor couldn't let go of the scroll, and he didn't raise his eyelids.
The big eunuch answered, looked at Rong Xinnunu, and motioned for him to hurry over. The big eunuch lifted the curtain and went out, and Rong Xi knelt down to the emperor.
The emperor put down the book, "Rong Xi, come and speak." ”
Rong Xi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his hand and walked a few steps forward, and the emperor pointed to the brocade couch on the right hand side and let Rong Xi sit on the couch.
Rong Xi walked to the side of the brocade couch and couldn't help but be stunned, there was a spring thunder piano on the long case next to the brocade couch...... (To be continued.) )xh:.74.240.212
