Chapter 186: Your Majesty is missing

Cui Lei arrived with the secret guards, rescued the seriously injured Lu Xiao, and brought Cui Cheng back, letting Cui Yue lead the way, and the group finally found Beichen Luo on the edge of the cliff.

But Beichen's eyes were red, and the tears on his face made them feel that something was wrong.

"Where did His Majesty go?" Cui Lei and Cui Yue had expressions of wanting to cry to death. Cui Lei, under the urging of Guan Qianyi, hurried back to the capital overnight, but as soon as he came back, he found that His Majesty was missing, which was worth it!

Cui Yue's heart was cold, and from Beichen Luo's expression, he could see that His Majesty's situation might not be able to be saved.

Beichen finally found his voice, "Sister Huang has led the assassin away from this side!" Fast! ”

As time passed, several people searched overnight, but no trace of Li Wei was found.

"Imperial Sister-Imperial Sister-" Beichen Luo shouted again and again, his voice was hoarse and did not stop, he hated that he could only hide on the edge of the cliff without saying a word, but now he couldn't find the imperial sister no matter how loud he shouted. He knelt on top of a waterfall, his dry eyes soaked with tears, and he looked down for a moment, but he caught a small pearl on the ground.

It was given to the imperial sister by him, but now it has been left here. He picked up the night pearl, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and tears welled up again: the imperial sister probably jumped down.

The secret guards were sent under the cliff to probe down, and the jungle also expanded the search range, and as night fell, the sky grew brighter, but they still did not find it.

Cui Yue looked at the turbulent waterfall, he was covered with scars, he was so tired that he lay on the ground, and looked at Cui Lei, "What about the prince?" They tracked it all the way, and when he couldn't find His Majesty, he remembered why the prince didn't show up, and if something happened to His Majesty, he should be the first to be in a hurry.

Cui Lei shook his head angrily, "The prince was also injured and was knocked unconscious by me." ”

Cui Yue opened his mouth and was dumbfounded, "Only you dare to be so bold." ”

"No matter how bold I am, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to gain the trust of the prince in the future."

Cui Yue's eyes sank, he also knew that Cui Lei could follow the prince because of the queen's dispatch back then, and the prince never trusted him much, until something happened when he went to Beichen, Cui Lei's eldest brother almost gave his life in order to escort the prince, and since then the prince has regarded him as his own. However, the more he is cared for, the more he will violate the taboo of the prince. Although Cui Lei has been trusted, he has disobeyed the prince's orders many times, and he will definitely be dissatisfied with the prince.

Cui Lei shook his head again, "No matter what, it's good that the prince is safe this time." Even if he came here, it would be impossible for him to find His Majesty, but it would aggravate his injuries. ”

Cui Yue asked, "But now that His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, how can we reply?" ”

"Tell the truth."

Leaving some people to continue to search nearby, and gradually expanding the scope of searching, the two returned to the palace with Beichen.

In the regent palace, Master Yan Kong was seeing Guan Qianyi, looking a little depressed.

"Master, how?" Cui Lei asked.

"Hey, if this wound hurts so many inches, the Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save him from life. Also, the rain poison in the prince's body has not been resolved, and now it is about to approach the heart, and if it worsens, he will be finished. Master Yan Kong was furious, and pointed to the patient on the bed and said, "You also asked me to help you temporarily seal the toxin, in case you can't help but force it away, you will die directly!" ”

Guan Qianyi woke up, opened his eyes, but his pale face remained calm, "There is Master Lao." ”

Yan Kong snorted unhappily, seeing that the guards were coming, he knew that he was going to start running errands, so he had to sit on the chair on the side, and then saw the short-haired man outside the door enter, but it was the Qingyi monk.

"Lord Wang, you really died this time." Qingyi came in by touching his head, looked at Cui Yue's bandages all over his body, and smiled again.

Guan Qianyi said, "Such a Cheng dΓΉ can only be regarded as three deaths and one life." ”

Coldly being told a cold joke by the prince, everyone in the room was stunned, and Qingyi was the first to laugh, "But what now, our majesty, life and death are uncertain." ”

"Cui Lei, report on the situation in Kyoto."

Cui Lei nodded, although he was surprised that the first thing his prince did was not to attack himself, but now the most important thing is indeed to control the situation in Kyoto City, "The Qi family and the Cheng family jointly signed a letter, and the assassin was the old department of Yusha back then, asking for a thorough investigation. Now that this news has caused a sensation inside and outside the city, we have released the news that His Majesty was chased and killed by assassins and disappeared, and the people have not caused much of a sensation for the time being, but according to the secret guard, the Qi Cheng family is likely to be well prepared, and they have not known what they are relying on. ”

Guan Qianyi calmly gave an order, "Find Guo Zibi and ask him to discuss with Lu Xiao how to suppress the direction of public opinion and rumors in Kyoto." In addition, pay close attention to the people and things of the Cheng family of the Qi family, especially the Qi family, and see if there are any new people around them recently, or very peculiar events. Also, give the letter to Lu Xiao. ”

Cui Yue took the envelope and nodded away.

Cui Lei continued, "There was a big incident in the Cheng family today. Mrs. Yi Pei, the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, was arrested for homicide, and the evidence seems to be very sufficient, and she has been arrested and put in prison. ”

Guan Qianyi thought for a while, "Mrs. Yi Pei, the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family? Is it the wife of Cheng Pei's eldest son Cheng Tai? ”

"Yes, that's right."

"Immediately contact Cheng Pei's eyeliner and let him act according to the plan."

"Yes!"

Cui Lei turned to leave, Guan Qianyi looked at his back, suddenly felt a little irritable, closed his eyes, opened them again, and saw Ao Qingyi smiling dazzlingly in front of his eyes.

Qingyi said, "Are you calm, or are you calm?" Your Majesty is missing. He was in a hurry, this prince looked so calm and calm.

At this time, Master Yan Kong, who was on the side, shouted again, "He is still calm? vomited an unknown amount of blood, and the old man gave him medicine and hung it again, otherwise he would have seen the king of Hades now! ”

Guan Qianyi looked up at Qingyi and looked at Yan Kong, "Two masters, this king needs to enter the palace once, do you want to be together?" ”

The two masters naturally wanted to follow, but somehow, they felt that the Lord Regent, who had never asked for anyone, had a little bit in his eyes, and only a little bit of a request that they had to nod.

In the Lu Mansion, Lu Xiao opened the letter handed to him by Guan Qianyi, read it carefully, and sighed. Then he handed the paper to Donghua behind him, and Donghua also read it, but his expression was not as calm as his, "This Lord Regent is really difficult." ”

Lu Xiao pressed his temples with a faint pain, remembering that when he got the news of Li Wei's disappearance, he pressed his heart to his throat, and was about to set off to find His Majesty at this time, but he didn't want to wait for Guan Qianyi's letter.

He said slowly, "Some of the assassins yesterday are indeed old tribes, and if you kill one or two, you can recognize them from the marks on their bodies. However, why did Li Yuetian expose this group of powerful old subordinates? Is it to keep the regent on the alert? ”

Donghua shook his head, "The tiger talisman in the hands of the thirteenth princess that can mobilize the old ministry has been taken away by Ma Rongtian. In this way, did Ma Rongtian connect with Li Yuetian and get the tiger talisman after escaping? That's the key. If there are other people in the process of splicing, then the matter can be big or small. ”

"Let's go, enter the palace."

Donghua was stunned, "Master, you are still injured, we don't have to obey the regent's orders now, he said that if we enter the palace, we will enter the palace?" Haven't you found it yet? In Donghua's opinion, the master should be more worried about His Majesty's safety.

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, "The regent is not in a hurry, and it is useless for us to be in a hurry." He vaguely felt that Guan Qianyi knew about today's qiΔ“, perhaps, and also foreknew that His Majesty would disappear, so he had to enter the palace.

However, when he stood in front of Guan Qianyi and asked about it, Guan Qianyi's face turned cold.

"His Majesty is missing, and this king has no knowledge. If this can be predicted, this king will never send it to Xiyu Kingdom! ”

It seemed that he had angered Guan Qianyi, and Lu Xiao asked again unwillingly, "Lord Regent has always been concerned about the safety of His Majesty, why is he still staying in the palace now?" ”

Guan Qianyi snorted coldly, "All the secret guards of this king are looking for them, but they can't be found, so what's the use of being in a hurry." This king has no clue now, but he must first ensure the stability of the Beichen Dynasty. If something really happened to His Majesty, he would definitely hope that Beichen would be safe. If you really think about His Majesty, you should stand beside His Highness the Seventeenth and help stabilize his mind. ”

Guan Qian originally entered the palace to let the two masters accompany Beichen Lu to sit in the palace, but after entering the palace, seeing Beichen Luo's lost soul, he was tired and felt powerless. According to the situation at that time, His Highness Seventeen was protected by His Majesty XiΓ  to survive, and the blow he received was indeed very big, and he needed a period of time to heal and cheer up, but the last thing he could give now was time.

"His Majesty is missing, the time can be long or short," and it is possible that he will not be able to return to the palace for the rest of his life, "Therefore, this king now needs someone to let His Highness find his spirit as soon as possible, otherwise, when His Majesty is found, Beichen may not be able to hold on." ”

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Your Majesty, can you come back safely?" ”

Guan Qianyi nodded, "This king will do everything to find it." His Majesty has a noble status and controls the life and death of a country, and it is not easy for the assassin to kill her. According to Cui Yue's situation, it seems that the assassins did not intend to let her be killed directly, after all, it would be more beneficial for them to catch the living Majesty. Therefore, I prefer to believe that she was captured because of her disappearance, or that she jumped off the waterfall, rather than leaving the enemy with a handle to blackmail. ”

The two situations analyzed by Guan Qianyi himself were very bad.

Although his life is not affected for the time being, after all, his life is captured in the hands of others, and he may die at any time, and it is likely to put the entire Beichen Kingdom in danger in the future.

And if His Majesty really chose to jump into the waterfall, it is likely that he would have died. But the dark guard searched for more than ten miles downstream around the waterfall, but still did not find any trace of Li Wei, so this choice was probably abandoned by Li Wei.

Of course, they hope for a miracle.

Lu Xiao also understood the stakes, "Okay, I'll go to His Highness and discuss countermeasures with the national teacher." Please, be sure to get your majesty back. ”

This is not the first time that the two men have cooperated, but it is the first time that they have really stood on the same front without any interests, and at the same time prayed, hoping that the most important woman in their hearts would return safely.

In Chonghua Palace, the sound of dishes and bowls breaking is particularly harsh.

Master Yan Kong was furious, pointing at Beichen Lu who was shrunk on the ground and scolded, "You useless thing, this master has taught you for so long, this is how you are a turtle with a shrunken head?" Are you also planning to give up the rivers and mountains of Beichen Kingdom to those who are ambitious in wolves! ”

Beichen roared, his eyes were black and swollen, and he was sore, "Whoever likes to take it will take it, and the main hall will not be wanted!" ”

Monk Qingyi looked at the sky, he knew that there was nothing good in the palace, Guan Qianyi actually asked the two of them to persuade this little ghost, it was really a headache, he was good at everything, but he was not good at coaxing children.

Yan Kong continued to scold, "Your Majesty should have strangled you to death at that time and let you go and lure the assassin away!" Your majesty saved your life desperately, not for you to feel sorry for yourself here! ”

Beichen Luo cried loudly, and grabbed the night pearl in his hand, "The imperial sister is gone, what can I do?" Beichen's country, it's good to have you, just have the regent, what am I going to do here? "He should have died with the imperial sister at that time, why was he so timid, why was he so obedient?

Lu Xiao stood outside the hall for a while, walked into the hall quietly, and saw that it was a mess inside.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is fine."

Beichen roared angrily, "Get out of here, this hall doesn't want to listen to any of you!" ”

Lu Xiao said quickly, "The assassin is the old department of Yusha controlled by the Thirteen Princesses, and the talisman was snatched away by Ma Rongtian, and finally came into the hands of Li Yuetian, or rather, it was hooked up with Li Yuetian. This qiΔ“ is all due to your master, Li Yuetian. Lu Xiao gradually provoked Beichenluo's anger and shifted his focus, "When those old troops fought with us that day, they didn't kill His Majesty, which shows that they didn't want to end His Majesty's life directly, but wanted to capture him alive. In that case, His Majesty is smart and knows how to use the shape to escape, either being caught or jumping into the waterfall, in both cases, it is possible to survive. ”

Hearing this, Beichen Luo raised his head and brushed away the messy hair stuck to his face, "Sister Huang is still alive?" ”

Qingyi and Yan Kong looked at Lu Xiao, knowing that what he said could only be useful temporarily, after all, in that case, the chances of His Majesty surviving were too small.

"Minister, I firmly believe that His Majesty is still alive." Lu Xiao replied firmly, as if he was cheering himself up.

Beichen Luo hadn't thought of too many twists and turns, and since his imperial sister was still alive, he was as excited as if he had been beaten with blood, straightened up his clothes, and asked nervously, "What does the main hall need to do now?" ”

Qingyi said, "Set the needle and calm the hearts of the people." ”

Master Yan Kong continued, "Your Highness needs to refute rumors in the court as a prisoner of the country, and pray for His Majesty." At the same time, he ordered the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the case, and the theft of the talisman should also have a result. ”

The next day, a list was issued inside and outside the imperial city, to conduct a thorough investigation of the case of strangulation in the rivers and lakes five years ago, and at the same time announced that the thirteenth princess's concubine Ma Rongtian had rebelled against the imperial court, took away the old military talisman of Yusha, and tried to collude with the killer Li Yuetian, who was suspected of assassinating His Majesty XiΓ  and was wanted by the whole country.
