Chapter 51: Missing Found
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... It's time for the morning ...... Your Majesty? Outside the door of the dormitory, Wang Rong knocked respectfully on the door, and then shouted towards the hall.
But shouted a few times in succession, there was still no reaction in the hall, Wang Rong, who was already surprised by this, looked at it, Feng Xiyan often lay in bed, he was used to it, so he turned his head sideways to the palace maid who was waiting with toiletries and commanded.
"Let's go in, be quick with your hands and feet, otherwise it will be too late to go to the morning court in a while."
"Yes, slaves and maids understand."
These slaves and maids are Shangguan Candle's henchmen, and he deliberately arranged them to serve Feng Xiyan, and they are also accustomed to this situation, so it is not surprising.
The palace maids walked into the hall one after another, and after putting down the things in their hands, the two palace maids walked into the hall to open the curtain blocking the light, two walked to the window to open the window, two began to burn incense, and two walked to the side of the dragon bed, opened the bed curtain and was about to wake up Feng Xiyan.
But as soon as the bed curtain was opened, I found that there was no Feng Xiyan on the bed.
"What about Your Majesty?" A palace maid exclaimed with wide eyes.
The other palace maid looked at the dragon bed in response, stared at the palace maid who had noticed Feng Xiyan's absence first, and said with trembling corners of her mouth. "Let's go, go and tell the prince."
The two of them ran quickly to the gate of the palace in horror, "The prince ...... Princess, no, Your Majesty is not ...... in the palace. ”
Hearing this, Wang Rong's face changed, and he waved his hand to push away the two palace maids who came to pray, and strode towards the hall.
When he came to the side of the dragon bed, looking at the neatly arranged bedding, where was Feng Xiyan's figure, Wang Rong sighed in his heart, what else did he not understand, people fled under his nose.
Although he was annoyed and angry, he couldn't wait to catch Feng Xiyan and teach her a good lesson, but the person had already run away, and it didn't help him to get angry, besides, the most important thing at present was to find her traces first.
"What should I do? Princess, this is about to go to the early dynasty, and His Majesty's absence will definitely cause an uproar. ”
A palace maid asked Wang Rong with an anxious face, she had only come to serve for a long time, and when such a thing happened, she was anxious and afraid, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
At this time, all the palace maids who served had already reacted, and they were anxiously surrounding Wang Rong, looking at him with eager faces.
Wang Rong frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice with a dark face: "What are you crying about?" What is there to cry about, hurry up and find it, and see if Your Majesty is playful and in which palace you are staying in? Also, hurry up and go to the two of them to see if His Majesty is there with her? ”
"Yes." The palace ladies replied, and then began to act separately.
"By the way, you go to find the candle father-in-law, and remember not to let anyone know about it."
Wang Rong called out to a palace maid who had fallen behind the crowd, and commanded her with a nervous and urgent expression.
"Yes, slave understands." The palace maid who was called nodded and walked away quickly.
Looking at Wang Rong, who was doing everything normally in the hall, his eyes flashed gloomily, blaming him for being too careless and ignoring Feng Xiyan's abnormal behavior, so that she had a chance to escape.
"Damn it!"
Wang Rong slapped himself hard and scolded in a low voice.
At this time, Shangguan Candle was standing respectfully in the court, coldly looking at the ministers who gathered together to discuss, his eyes occasionally met Li Mao, and then turned away as if nothing happened, patiently waiting for Feng Xiyan's arrival.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
As soon as the words fell, Empress Dowager Li, supported by the eunuchs beside her, came with honor and luxury, followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
"See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"
Empress Dowager Li, supported by the eunuchs, walked to the phoenix chair at the bead curtain behind the dragon chair and sat down, only then did she raise her hand slightly and say to the white official: "Excuse me, flat body!" ”
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
After the white officials got up, they each stood with their heads bowed in their positions.
Since the funeral of the first emperor, Empress Dowager Li relied on the emperor's young age, cultivated her own power, monopolized power, and directly set up her own phoenix position in the court, which was called the assistant to the young emperor.
This move caused an uproar in the Daning Dynasty, but under the iron and bloody hand of the Empress Dowager Li, the ministers who raised objections were either killed or degraded, and after a good rectification, no one dared to raise objections, and the Empress Dowager Li sat in the position of assisting the young emperor in this way until now.
"Grandpa Candle, where is Your Majesty? Why hasn't it come yet? After Empress Dowager Li came for a while, she saw that Feng Xiyan had not yet appeared, and asked Shangguan Candle with surprise.
Shangguan Zhu turned around and saluted her, "Back to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty should be on the way here, and the slave will go and urge." ”
"Your Majesty is really still a child's heart, such a big thing in the last dynasty, can also be such a child's play, before the sincere words to the mourning family said that he has grown up, to learn to deal with the affairs of the court independently, the mourning family is still relieved for this, but only a few days later, and began to do not do business again, the mourning family really has no choice."
On that day, Feng Xiyan forced her power in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and Empress Dowager Li was never able to let go, so whenever she caught Feng Xiyan's mistakes, she began to publicize it, so that Feng Xiyan's reputation in power was not right.
In this regard, Shangguan Candle raised his eyebrows, bowed to the Empress Dowager Li without changing his face, and replied: "The Empress Dowager is too worried, Your Majesty is not having child's play, it may be that she has been delayed by something, and she is saying that Your Majesty is much better than before, for this reason, the Empress Dowager should teach more, not criticize and accuse." ”
Empress Dowager Li was assassinated when Feng Xiyan left the palace and took the imperial doctor to test to no avail, plus the eyeliner she placed next to Feng Xiyan was removed, and she wanted to trouble Feng Xiyan several times and secretly, but she was blocked by Shangguan Candle.
After a few times, Empress Dowager Li also reacted that the reason why Feng Xiyan was invulnerable was because Shangguan Candle was escorting her, so she was blocked several times.
After understanding this, Empress Dowager Li began to target Shangguan Candle, preparing to get rid of this obstructive eunuch first, and then go all out to deal with Feng Xiyan, but this Shangguan Candle was too slippery, and he escaped several times.
Shangguan Candle also knew that Empress Dowager Li was pointing all the fingers at him, but he didn't care, although the dark tide was turbulent underneath, but on the surface, the two of them pretended to know nothing, which was normal.
But this time, Shangguan Candle couldn't help but open his mouth to fight for Feng Xiyan because of Empress Dowager Li's slander against Feng Xiyan.
After saying this, Shangguan Candle also secretly regretted that he was too impulsive, even if he couldn't get used to the Empress Dowager Li, but on the surface, she was always the Empress Dowager, and he was just a eunuch.
