117 The second prince is missing

"Ying Rong'er was indeed killed in the hurricane water cave."

Wei Fu Yin's words made the Baohua Hall silent.

An Pinghou's eyes were black, his body shook, and he fainted. Hui Ninghou grabbed him, "Qingyuan." You're going to have to hold on. ”

An Pinghou couldn't hold it up in the end, and completely fainted in the arms of Huining Hou.

"Ying Rong'er Shaohua's early death is really pitiful. 3,000 taels of silver for funerals. The emperor sighed sadly.

The early dynasty retreated.

The news of Ying Rong'er's death was confirmed.

An Binh Mansion has set up a mourning hall. Hundreds of civil and military officials came to mourn. Kunning Palace, Xifu Palace and Huifang Palace sent a grand funeral.

The first snow fell in the capital.

"Ying Rong'er is dead?"

This news made people with hearts diǎn can't believe it. Mrs. Huining braved the wind and snow and came to the small mansion of Chengguo Mansion for the first time.

Yun'er served the best tea, trembling slightly with excitement, and the tea was scattered on Zeng's fur coat.

Zeng didn't mind, just glanced at Yun'er, and then at Wen and Ai.

"When Dongpingzhou's folded book arrived first two days ago, didn't the queen just say that Ying Rong'er should be dead?" Wen looked at Zeng and said with a half-smile, "Now she's gone." Isn't it saving everyone's troubles? ”

Ai was cunning and obviously happy, but said lightly: "It's a pity that he is a fairy-like person." Isn't it jealous? ”

Zeng's eyes rolled, the corners of his eyes drank, and he mourned: "I thought she was going to torture me." But she didn't want to, so she went first. I was too selfish before I thought about it. ”

Wen restrained his smile and glanced at Gou Ruyun next to him. coughed lightly, "It's not that my sister can't tolerate her, it's that she is blessed." ”

Gou Ruyun lowered his head. I don't see a hint of joy.

"This is the queen's decree. I may have boasted in front of the queen, saying that the six girls of Chengguofu would be **** to prolong their lives. Zeng took a decree out of his sleeve and solemnly handed it to Ai.

"Command." Ai's mother and daughter hurriedly knelt down and took the order.

"I came here in person, mainly for this matter. I've handed it over to you, and it's time for me to go back. ”

Zeng's Wuxin sedentary, and she β†’dǐngβ†’diǎnβ†’ Xiaoβ†’ said, .≦.o≑s_(); They talked deeply about Ying Rong'er's death, and got up and Ai Shi diǎndiǎn head. Then they will go out.

"Auntie. This is a new medicine that the sixth sister has just brought back to nourish the skin, called Februarychun. Yun'er took out a box and opened it, and there were four delicate bottles inside. Two cyan, two white.

Zeng's eyes lit up and he looked at the contents of the box.

"For the cyan internal use, take one pill in the morning and one in the evening, and the white one for external emollients. The sixth sister said that she had used up this course of treatment. Auntie's skin can be restored to ninety percent of what it used to be. Yun'er's big eyes flickered a few times. Said with a smile.

"The sixth girl has a heart." Zeng smiled happily, and touched his face with one hand that began to be clean and shiny, "I have taken the medicine she gave last time, and I have indeed recovered a lot." ”

Gou Ruyun took the box.

"Gotta go back first. I am afraid that the road will be covered by wind and snow, and the carriage is not easy to walk. Zeng's expression was polite, and Ai Shi diǎndiǎn head again, and dragged the long hairy lu out of the small hall.

Qiaolian and Qiaoxin stood outside and saw Gou Ruyun coming out with a box. Qiao Lian took the box and remained silent. Just quietly followed Tsang's back.

Wen and Ai looked at each other, secretly happy, Ruyun, this child, is really getting more and more calm.

In the carriage, Qiaoxin said, "Why did Madame brave the wind and snow to come here in person?" ”

Zeng watched the road gradually covered with snow, waved his hand, and smiled silently.

Qiaolian looked at Gou Ruyun and said with a smile, "Qiaoxin still doesn't know Madame well enough." ”

Gou Ruyun has been sitting in the back row with his head down, still as calm as a pool of water.

Zeng squinted at her, and a special and satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The carriage soon returned to the house.

As soon as the Zeng family entered the gate, a small servant came to report, "Madam." Shizi is still like that in the room. ”

"Check it out." Zeng walked slowly towards Jinglan Courtyard.

I had just passed through a few corridors and passed a rockery, and I saw two figures coming from the back door to Jinglan Courtyard.

Zeng Shi stopped, looked at his eyes from afar, turned his direction, and said to Qiao Lian, "Let Xia Huyi come to see me later." After that, he changed his route back to Xing'an Hospital.

After hearing about Ying Rong'er's accident, Xia Zhikang was restless and had nightmares all night, calling Rong'er's name.

"People are dead. What's there to worry about? In today's court, Yin of Wei Mansion in Dongping Prefecture has carefully explained to the emperor the before and after Ying Rong'er's death. This is what you heard with your own ears in the court. Anping Mansion has raised a mourning hall. Xia Zhilin worked hard to persuade the prince in the house.

"If you were your daughter-in-law, would you see if you wouldn't be sad?" Xia Zhikang cried so much that his face was swollen, lying on the soft couch covered with fur, like a tearful pig, and a white silk scarf stained with tears was thrown on the ground.

"Hey. I think she's dead. Save you the trouble between her and her wife. She's dead anyway. You better take care of yourself. Xia Zhilin was a little happy in his heart.

"You schadenfreude beast!" Xia Zhikang's eyes erupted with fire, and he crumpled the silk towel in his hand into a ball and smashed it at him, "Don't break your mouth in front of me, otherwise I will be upset and kill you!" ”

Xia Zhilin knew that the affairs were Junjie, and then the silk scarf he threw over stopped making a sound.

"The prince is here." Xia Zhiren hurriedly came in to report. As soon as the words fell, the prince bumped in with Xiao Anzi.

"Anping Mansion is holding a funeral. You really lost your manners, you didn't go to mourn first, and you went back to the house to get sick first. ”

Xiao Anzi took off the snow hat for the prince, and Xia Zhilin gently dusted off the snowflakes on the prince's body with a hairball. The prince sat down in his chair and counted away.

Xia Zhikang glanced at him, didn't argue, took a square silk handkerchief, and just wiped his tears.

The prince raised his hand to show that Xia Zhilin and Xia Zhiren withdrew, and only Xiao Anzi remained in the house.

"Manly man. What's there to grieve excessively? She's just your daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door yet. Besides, your mother, they are trying to get rid of her. Isn't that providential? The prince looked at him sternly.

Xia Zhikang couldn't bear it anymore and sat up. Qi said: "If you die the crown princess, don't you be sad?" ”

The prince raised his head and laughed, "How can this be compared? ”

Xiao Anzi glanced at the prince. mediated, "Please ask the prince to understand the prince of Huining." He's not..."

"Then you should go to Anping Mansion to cry." Prince Road.

"Hey. I was almost dizzy when I came down from above, and they brought me back. Now that I've come to my senses, it's time to go to Anping Mansion. Xia Zhikang cheered up and put on his shoes.

"I'm here to accompany you to Anping Mansion." As soon as the prince sat down, he stood up again.

"Xia Zhilin. Come in and change the clothes of Huining Shizi. Prepare to go to Anping Mansion to mourn. Xiao Anzi shouted outside the door.

Xia Zhilin and Xia Zhiren came in, took out a sweater coat and put it on for Xia Zhikang, and covered it with white clothes outside.

"Hey. I haven't written a eulogy yet..."Xia Zhikang really can't lift his spirits. My mind went blank.

"I'll write it for you." The prince pulled out a page from his sleeve.

Xia Zhikang took it and looked at it, with a bitter smile on his satisfied face, "You think about it well." ”

The prince's thick palm gently placed it on his right shoulder. Implicitly. "It's a good thing that Aiqing values love and justice. But that's the end of it. A manly man must not be perished by this. ”

"Prince Xie."

There was a lot of grief in Anping Mansion, full of sorrow up and down.

Xia Shi once again acted as half the master in Anping Mansion, helping to decorate the mourning hall and receive the guests who came to mourn.

Xia Zhikang, accompanied by the crown prince, finally appeared on the mourning hall.

"My beloved wife, Ying's Rong'er, was at the time of cardamom, innocent by nature, and unfortunately died early. My pain is heartbroken..."Xia Zhikang memorized less than half of the eulogy written by the prince. And he fainted from crying.

"Hey. Have pity on me. Let's go to the room and be quiet for a while. Xia Shi cried and ordered.

"The prince of Huining is really affectionate and sincere." The guests who came to mourn praised one after another.

Ying Qingyuan's family didn't care about this, they were just immersed in their own grief. Ying Qingyuan's three fathers and sons could no longer fit anything else in their consciousness except for mechanically returning the salute to the guests.

From the afternoon to the evening, many officials who came to mourn did not leave in a hurry, and after mourning the dead, even the prince flocked to the Buddhist hall to chant for Ying Rong'er with the superordinate master.

Ying Rong'er had a great time on her birthday a while ago. At this time, he died very solemnly.

Until the sixth watch of the next day, Anping Mansion had just set up a white banquet, and someone in the palace urgently came to report, "The second prince is missing!" Please go back to the court! ”

The first emperor said that Anping Mansion was going to hold a funeral, and he would have a day off today, so the officials did not go back last night, but set out to read the scriptures in Anping Mansion to surpass Ying Rong'er.

The second prince is missing?

Naturally, the affairs of Anping Mansion are no longer a big deal.

In just a few moments, all the guests rushed to the Baohua Palace.

Everyone stayed up all night, all of them were red and swollen, and their faces were haggard......

The emperor sat on the dragon seat, anxious, and saw the tired appearance of the officials, and said in a hoarse voice, "Originally, the third young lady of Anping Mansion died early, which was a very unfortunate thing, and yesterday I sent you to Anping Mansion to comfort Anping Hou." But last night, Concubine Hui was in a hurry, and inadvertently said a few words about Shan'er, I am afraid that he was stimulated, and he quietly got up in the middle of the night and left Ping'an Palace. Feng Aiqing happened to be on duty in the palace last night, and he led people to rummage through the palace but couldn't find the mountains. On the fourth watch today, he and Zhang Shilang had already led the troops out of the palace to look for it. No news so far. I'm in a hurry. So in desperation, he summoned everyone back to discuss. ”

The officials were dumbfounded. It turns out that the second prince disappeared last night?

An Pinghou cried, "It's all the minister's family matter..."

The emperor's eyes were full of tears, and he waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with Anping Mansion." It was Shan'er who had been sick for many years, his temperament had become narrow, and he was a little unconscious, so this happened. ”

Hui Ninghou looked at the emperor nervously and whispered, "I don't know what Concubine Hui said to the second prince last night, which made him so angry that he wanted to run away?" ”

The emperor put his forehead, controlled his sadness, and said sadly, "Which mother doesn't want her child to be good?" Concubine Hui just provoked him twice, saying that he should be cured of this disease, and he has not been well for so many years, but the second prince is unwilling to be strong, and he should take out the bloody spirit of a man to defeat the disease. Shan'er was too fragile, and felt that his mother did not understand him so much, that we probably thought that he had been sick for a long time and had no patience. This kid has always cared about what we expect from him, and he must have been discouraged. ”

"When he left, no official or eunuch knew?" Hui Ninghou asked anxiously.

"Because it's abnormal. He didn't show a diǎn affection at that time, he just said that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and he fell asleep before his mother left. Everyone thought that he was asleep as usual, so only Xiangtao and Chunyan were guarding at the bedside, and there were two eunuchs guarding outside. In the middle of the night, Concubine Hui came to check, only to find that the two eunuchs were frozen outside, Chunyan fell in a pool of blood in the house, and Shan'er and Xiangtao were missing..."

The hundred officials suddenly lost color.

Sweat broke out on Huininghou's forehead, "Chunyan is dead?" ”

The emperor shook his head, "She was hit by a sword in her neck, but fortunately she didn't die." When she woke up, she said that she had been kneeling in front of the bed of the second prince before, and was napping in a daze, and suddenly felt that the second prince got out of bed and was about to get up to support him, when he was about to get up and help, he was hit with a sword in the neck, and then passed out, and when he was unconscious, he faintly heard the second prince say, 'Mother. Please forgive the child for being incompetent. Tonight I will teach you and my father not to worry about me anymore.'" Chun Tao said, 'Don't be impulsive, the second prince. The second prince said, 'If you are sincere to me, you will leave with me.' If you stop or call out, I will kill myself in front of you and make people think that you killed us! ’”

"Peach is missing too?"

"Could it be that Chunyan heard it wrong at the time?"

"Could it be that Peach held the second prince hostage? Do you want to kill Chunyan and kill your mouth? ”

All sorts of hypothetical discussions have arisen one after another.

"I know the mountains. The sword that killed Chunyan was not strong enough, and secondly, it was intentional to spare her life, so Chunyan survived. He is high-spirited. I want to go outside and die clean, and I won't bother us anymore. The emperor wiped his tears.

"Now that Feng Shilang and Zhang Shilang have gone out to look for it. Let's take a closer look inside and outside the palace. The prince's brows were tightly locked, and he mentioned yì at this time.

"That's exactly what I meant when I called everyone back." The emperor looked at the prince in a white fur coat.

"Then let's go our separate ways. The second brother is weak, and the weather suddenly becomes cold, and I am afraid that he will not be able to stand the wind chill outside! The prince said urgently.

"Yes. Find Zhongshan's business, you and your uncle will do it. I went to Hui'an Palace to see Concubine Hui. The emperor said, got up and left the Baohua Palace.

The hundred officials withdrew, and the Marquis of Huining and the crown prince formed a team and divided into ten roads to look for them inside and outside the palace.

Huijing put up a notice to find the second prince, and all the people went out.

However, the wind and snow were heavy, where did the second prince go overnight?

**

The weather in Dongpingzhou is still late autumn.

In the evening of that day, Kuroki finally rushed to the Divine Peak with the Yi Decree.

In the tent, Kuroki handed over the edict to Zheng Qianjing.

"What happened on the way? You're more than a day late than planned. If it weren't for the Sixth Miss's long-term thinking, we would have left Shensao Town early in the morning today. Hongzhu asked with a frown.

"Something big happened in the palace. The second prince is missing! ”

Zheng Qianjing was so shocked that the Yizhi in her hand fell to the ground, "You didn't find it when you left?" Didn't hear anything on the way? ”

"So I left more than half a day late. But looking at the situation, the entire capital of Huijing was dispatched, and there was no clue to the disappearance of the second prince, I think this matter is probably not accidental, so I came back first. On the way, I didn't hear anything about any clues. The emperor has issued a national encyclical that whoever finds the clues of the second prince will be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold, and if he finds him, he will be rewarded with one thousand taels of gold and given a knighthood. ”

Zheng Qianjing's beautiful eyes were stunned.

Second prince, why did you disappear at this time? (To be continued.) )
