Chapter 487: Missing
The palace is not allowed to enter or leave?
Lu Qingrong was slightly stunned, and then glanced at the Duchess of Yanguo, obviously they couldn't think of a reason.
"Why is that?" Lu Qingrong asked.
"The slave doesn't know." The palace maid told the truth, "And no one knows about the wives who entered the palace today and wept." Just now I learned that I couldn't leave the palace for the time being, and I was all wondering, and I didn't dare to make too much noise, so I could only wait for the palace door to open. ”
Nobody knows......
Lu Qingrong couldn't guess what was going on in the palace, to such a serious extent as closing the palace gate.
The palace maid remembered the queen's attitude towards the princess just now, or to curry favor, and suddenly said: "Although the slave maid doesn't know the specific reason, but at about the beginning of Mo Shen, I heard that there was a riot in the East Palace, and it seems that even the emperor was alarmed...... But no one knows what's going on. ”
Lu Qingrong listened to it, and it was even more incomprehensible.
"Didn't the emperor's eldest grandson go out of the palace to guard the mausoleum of the first prince?" Lu Qingrong confirmed.
"Yes, I left two days ago."
Lu Qingrong couldn't figure it out. Since the emperor's eldest grandson has been out of the palace for two days, what other big things can happen in the East Palace, and even the emperor is alarmed?
At this moment, it is the right time, and an hour and a half have passed when the so-called East Palace had an accident, and the palace door has still not been opened.
At this time, Tang Yue came to the side hall again.
The palace maids in the palace all retreated, and the Duchess of Yanguo also left the side hall on the grounds that she was going to ask the queen mother for peace.
Only Tang Yue and Lu Qingrong remained.
"Queen Mother, I wonder when we can leave the palace?" Lu Qingrong had no intention of inquiring into the matter.
Tang Yue didn't plan to hide it. came up with a sentence that shocked Lu Qingrong:
"The first princess hanged herself in the East Palace."
Surprised, Lu Qingrong looked at Tang Yue's gaze and couldn't help but be a little inquiring.
Tang Yue was not surprised. said bluntly: "It's not the emperor's will. ”
Lu Qingrong was slightly embarrassed and wanted to explain a few words for his gaffe, but he didn't know how to speak.
Tang Yue didn't care, and then said: "It's normal for you to have this kind of thought. It's just that the emperor has given Concubine Xu to death, and the eldest grandson of the emperor has also been ordered to go to guard the mausoleum. Punishment for the East Palace. That's it. ”
This last sentence is of great significance to Lu Qingrong.
Because almost all of them in the East Palace were punished to varying degrees. However, there is one person who has not been mentioned.
Lu Manyu.
Lu Manyu is certainly not an important person, and in all the plans of the East Palace, she may not even know what is going on.
But just by asking for the jade pendant from herself last time, even if she didn't know the meaning of the jade pendant at all. I can't stay out of it.
Lu Qingrong understands this. Tang Yue, who personally went to the East Palace to help her out of the siege at that time, must have understood.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Qingrong still took the initiative to mention: "My third sister is over there...... If there is any wrongdoing, I will never be partial to her......"
"The way you stump and spit out is really rare!" Tang Yue actually made fun of her.
I saw that Tang Yue quickly returned to seriousness, and said: "We have been studying together since we were children, and I also know who your third sister is." She's just in a hurry. The brain is not clear, and there are people who have been deceived. Don't look at her making fun on the stage. But in recent years, the affairs of the East Palace have nothing to do with her. Even if it is for the sake of Lord Lu and your face, the emperor will never pursue it more. ”
A stone fell to the ground in Lu Qingrong's heart, and he hurriedly thanked him.
"It's just that she can only spend the rest of her life in Xiyuan." Tang Yue paused, "However, fortunately, let her move to Xiyuan early in the morning, and today's incident in the East Palace will never implicate her!" ”
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but be stunned.
It seems that the matter of the first princess hanging herself is really not so simple, otherwise how could it implicate others?
For some reason, when she mentioned self-hanging, she remembered Song Shixiang at the beginning.
At that time, Song Shixiang "hanged" himself in the cell of the Criminal Department.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong blurted out: "So close the palace gate...... Is it to catch the murderer? ”
Before the words fell, she regretted her recklessness a little.
Tang Yue replied directly: "Yes." ”
The next moment, Tang Yue sighed softly: "It's just that two hours have passed, and there is still no result, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
"Several attendants in the East Palace are missing, and they must have something to do with this matter, but the palace has been checked everywhere, and I'm afraid they have already escaped from the palace first."
Lu Qingrong was puzzled: "The palace gate is strict, since there are several of them, it shouldn't be so easy to escape, right?" ”
Tang Yue shook his head helplessly: "You don't know, among them, one of them is the personal attendant of the emperor's eldest grandson, Xu secretly left a token, and the swaggering palace is unknown." ”
When Lu Qingrong heard this, instead of understanding, he was even more confused.
"The personal chamberlain of the emperor's eldest grandson...... Why didn't he follow the emperor's eldest grandson to guard the mausoleum, but stayed in the East Palace? ”
Tang Yue was silent for a long time before he said: "According to the other people in the East Palace, because the eldest grandson of the emperor was in a hurry, the chamberlain happened to be sick again, so he was left in the East Palace. ”
To Lu Qingrong's ears, this rhetoric is always a bit far-fetched.
Now that the eldest grandson of the emperor is not in the capital, first the former crown princess of the East Palace "hanged herself" without knowing it, and when there was no conclusion, his personal attendant led people to abscond and ran away without a trace......
Lu Qingrong vaguely felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between this.
The stakes are very high, and Lu Qingrong can't guess lightly.
She only half-reminded and half-asked, "Then did you send someone to chase you out of the city?" ”
Tang Yue didn't hide it, nodded and said, "As early as two hours ago, as soon as I learned about this, I had already sent someone out of the city quickly. One part was searching for fugitives along the road, and the other part was heading straight for the tomb of the former prince...... The increase in manpower is also to ensure the safety of the emperor's eldest grandson. ”
Tang Yue said it bluntly enough, even if he added such a sentence at the end, it would still not hinder Lu Qingrong's understanding.
Lu Qingrong nodded secretly and did not say anything more.
She really didn't know what else to say.
Tang Yue spoke again, and his tone was a little more concerned:
"These things were supposed to be kept secret, and even my mother didn't know about them. Today's changes in the East Palace will announce to the public that the first crown princess hanged herself. The reason why I am telling you so much is just to remind you to be careful! If we really guess the worst possible, then the son of the world and you may also be their target......"
"Thank you, Queen, for the mention." Lu Qingrong was extremely serious.
She knew that Tang Yue's words were by no means alarmist.
I only hope that the people sent by the emperor can gain something and capture the fugitive as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, it backfired, not only were there no traces of those fugitives, but even the people sent to "protect" the emperor's eldest grandson were one step too late.
The emperor's eldest grandson also disappeared. (To be continued.) )
