Chapter 132: Internal and external troubles, calamity to Xiao Wall
"Dead girl! Say it! ”
The dust of his palm was crumpled into a ball by him, and then hit the hairpin hard. Qiu Neiguan's face was full of hatred for iron and steel, thinking that these girls now have hard wings and are bold, and even he is all kinds of deception and concealment.
Anyway, I won't listen to him now, and it's better to be killed!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, frowning, and my backhand was another stick.
A few sticks fell on her in a row, but Bi Hairpin did not struggle, but lowered her body and tried her best to cooperate with her father-in-law's punishment.
Father-in-law Qiu ran errands for his master in his early years, accidentally injured his waist, his status was low, and he was ignored everywhere, not to mention, he couldn't even eat, let alone timely diagnosis and treatment, so he fell into a long-term illness that was difficult to treat.
I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that he will make a big move and hurt a stubborn disease, and if she really goes to the underworld, she will be uneasy. I still remember that last time there was a slave who was ignorant, and forced his father-in-law to personally raise a stick to beat the slave three times, due to carelessness, he alarmed the root of the disease, and finally lay on the bed for half a decade, speaking of that half of the decade, the memory is still fresh, because the father-in-law was sick for half a decade, she and Yutang and Liusu took turns to take care of it.
The dust fell on her again and again, saying that it didn't hurt, it was fake, the father-in-law was ruthless, and now the father-in-law must be very angry in his heart, and now the three of her hurt his old man's heart, can he not be angry? If you want to talk about pain, no matter how painful it is, there is no heartache for her, she is sorry for his old man, and she is sorry for those earnest teachings in the past.
It's just that since they are slaves of the East Palace, they have received the favor of the prince, they will inherit the prince's orders, and they will be loyal to the prince's heart, what the prince wants to do, they never know, let alone dare to know, they just do a good job of covering for the prince every time, and guard this huge East Palace for the prince. Now that they have come to this point, guarding the prince's secret is their last value.
"Dead girl, let's talk about it!"
Listening to her father-in-law's knife-like voice, she bit the corners of her lip, tears rolled in her eyes, but she couldn't flow down, her face was as cold as snow, like a lake of ice crystals on the desert ice field, she couldn't shake any ripples, but her heart was like a knife.
Seeing the hairpin like this, Yutang suddenly cried into tears.
In addition to sobbing in his ears, there was no explanation he wanted, Qiu Gonggong trembled again and raised the dust in his hand like a thousand gold, the emaciated figures of the three girls in front of him were becoming more and more blurred, and finally gritted his teeth, and fell down a few sticks, his hands were numb.
I forced and forced, and I beat and fought, and I was completely hopeless.
Emperor Mocang's last patience was also over, his eyes opened, and two gazes like knives made the people below dare not make any sound, and there was silence, death-like silence.
"Come on! Immediately put these handmaidens to death! ”
The moment he heard the order of the Son of Heaven behind him, Gonggong Qiu stood there a little stiffly with his back hooked, and the whisk that had just been raised in his hand slowly shook down along with his arm, and finally slipped out of his palm, and he couldn't hold it anymore.
He slowly closed his somewhat tired eyes, and there were bursts of screams of orders in his ears, the sound of "lie down quickly" struggle, "Your Majesty spare your life, the slave really doesn't know anything" screams, "Ahhhh
The whole body trembled, like the wind blowing in the valley at night. The hairpin gasped and held the hands of Yutang and Liusu tightly, remembering a lot of the daily bits and pieces of the East Palace, laughing, sad, and angry, when the vermilion window was gently pushed open, a ray of exquisite warm sunlight shone into the East Pavilion again, and the air was filled with the fragrance of snow and flowers, and finally crushed in the gentle warm wind
"Hairpin! Ryusu! Come on! ”
"It's on! It's on! The snow is blooming! ”
"It's time for the flowers to bloom."
"The snow flower was transplanted by the dustless prince from the falling flower courtyard of the Fengchen Mansion and given to His Highness, His Highness has taken care of it for so long, thinking about it day and night, today it will finally bloom, and when His Highness returns, he will know it, and he will be happy."
The three of them flashed teary eyes, smiled like flowers, and held hands.
A corpse was dragged out, back and forth just a dozen fingers, Qinzheng Garden was as clean as new, the west of the inner hall of Qinzheng Garden, nine gilded doors with a height of about 12 feet and a width of about 3 feet were slowly opened, the dragon and phoenix danced on the door, the wrong color was gilded, the sun was like a waterfall, and it poured down, washing away the dust. After lighting the incense, the palace maid respectfully withdrew.
"Father-in-law Qiu." Step out of the high threshold, is a wide verandah, the verandah stretches forward, on it is a splendid Jiuxiao Hua Pavilion, the Hua Pavilion is surrounded by a circle of carved railings and jade pillars, the grass and trees under it are grand, the rockery and blue pond surround each other, quite a bit of spring full of color. Emperor Mocang is standing on the verandah, and the place where he looks east is the East Palace. After calling his father-in-law for a long time, but he didn't hear back, he couldn't help frowning and reminded again: "Father-in-law Qiu!" "The title has changed tone.
Qiu Neiguan shook his head, looked at the Mocang monarch standing on the verandah, did not dare to hesitate, hurriedly wiped the old tears from the corners of his eyes, crossed the threshold, and stepped forward to obey the order. "Your Majesty"
"Father-in-law Qiu, what's wrong today?" The Mocang monarch stood with his hands in his hands and asked suspiciously.
The Mocang monarch is really going to be suspicious, those three children are all people who serve by the prince's side, in order to save them today, he is a little out of shape, if the Son of Heaven knows that he has the intention of favoring the maids of the East Palace, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not associate himself with the prince's party.
After thinking for a moment, he replied respectfully: "Seeing that Your Majesty is anxious for the prince, and the old slave is also anxious, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you for your sins." ”
Father-in-law Qiu is an old man in the palace, and he has been with him for more than ten years, he definitely will not have two hearts to take care of these, and now Emperor Mocang's mind is completely occupied by the safety of the prince, after a few thoughts, he suddenly decided.
"The disappearance of the prince is really strange, and I am afraid that this matter is the work of the thief! So far, the only way to do this is to mobilize all the Mocang soldiers in the capital to search the whole city, no matter what, the prince must be found as soon as possible! “
The tone in which Emperor Mo Cang spoke was full of concern for the crown prince, and compared to Fang Cai, his anger had obviously subsided.
Qiu Neiguan immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed!" ”
"What does my father-in-law mean by that?"
"If Your Majesty orders a search to be launched throughout the city, and within an hour, the whole city will know about the disappearance of the prince, and if the prince is not in the hands of Li Sangyu, wouldn't this be to let those mayflies catch the handle? Those enemies who are usually oppressed will also take the opportunity to make trouble, I am afraid that this Qin Huai will set off another big chaos! Your Majesty must not forget, now, at the border pass, our army has been defeated again and again, and now the prince has disappeared unexpectedly, the court is turbulent, and the border pass is frustrated, which is a big disadvantage for me! ”
"Not only that, since the end of the night banquet, the son of Dongli Yunxiao has not returned yet! Dongli and Mocang have been friends for several years, but they have been eyeing me Mocang, this time the prince of Yunxiao went to the prince's birthday banquet, because of the greed for the beautiful scenery of Qinhuai so far refused to leave, it is difficult to guarantee that the Dongli Emperor deliberately sent the prince of Yunxiao to stay in Qinhuai, and secretly used this to find out the truth of my Mocang! Seeing that the celebration ceremony is approaching, we must not let outsiders know about the hidden dangers under my indifference at this juncture! ”
"According to my father-in-law, don't you look for it! The crown prince is the most expensive bloodline in my Mocang royal family! He is my most beloved prince! I must not let him be harmed in any way! Absolutely not! Emperor Mo Cang shook his sleeves, and the whole person trembled with excitement.
"Your Majesty is angry! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really falls into the hands of the enemy, he must be a hostage, and if they want to use this to threaten His Majesty, they will definitely not dare to hurt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince easily! ”
"Huh! Threat? Harm? If they dare to hurt the prince, I will slaughter this city full of hated slaves! The more Emperor Mo Cang thought about it, the more angry he became, his eyes were sharp, the bridge of his nose was high, and he exhaled and said sharply: "I see that those dead slaves who are locked up in prison, there is no need to wait for the Qingguo ceremony, let's kill them all now!" I want to give a warning to those arrogant enemies! ”
"Your Majesty, no! Killing those dead slaves will only cause chaos for no reason, and it will not achieve the goal of finding the prince as soon as possible! "Qiu Neiguan tried his best to dissuade it, if it affected the country's great plan because of a momentary anger, the consequences would be unimaginable! Talking about the prison of the dead slaves, he suddenly remembered something. "Your Majesty! Capture the thief and capture the king, instead of making a big move, it is better to find the Li Sangyu party as soon as possible, and it will not be too late to punish it severely at that time! ”
"I don't want to! Since the night banquet, I have ordered the whole city to search for the remnants of Li Sang, and so far I have found nothing! Hum! Speaking of this, Emperor Mo Cang became more and more indignant, and his tone was full of disappointment.
"Your Majesty!" Qiu Neiguan reminded: "Your Majesty, don't forget that the dead slaves are still locked up in prison and the killers sent by the Li Sang Yu Party from the Divine General Division."
Hearing this, Emperor Mo Cang frowned and lowered his eyes in thought, and suddenly said: "Because of Zhao Qiu's beard, I don't seem to have asked anything from this killer's mouth."
After a little thought in his heart, he said: "In order to avoid extraneous branches, I want to go to the prison of the dead slave in person, personally interrogate this Yunguo killer, and don't ask some clues about Li Sangyu's party from his mouth, I can't get rid of this hatred!" ”
Emperor Mo Cang's voice was very stern, with a faint sound of gnashing teeth.
Hearing this, Qiu Neiguan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally stopped the sudden burning anger of the Son of Heaven. He was holding his forehead, and he heard it in his ears.
"According to my father-in-law's opinion, how should the search for the prince be carried out?"
"Your Majesty, according to the old slave's opinion, in order to take into account the overall situation, the disappearance of the prince can be concealed, and at the same time, all the wolf guards of the desert can be dispatched to secretly search in the entire Qinhuai, Julong City, Vermilion Bird Street, Qinhuai, the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and the trace of the prince will definitely be found! In the imperial court, you only need to think of a way to block the mouths of the hundred officials. ”
Emperor Mo Cang rolled up his dragon robe and supported the side of the railing with both hands, patted and patted, he didn't make a sound for a long time, his eyes were as cold as cold stars, and he stared in the direction of the East Palace for a long time, and the anger in his eyes had dissipated, and was replaced by something soft.
"For now, that's the only way"
"Yes," Qiu Neiguan agreed. He could hear that the tone of the Son of Heaven revealed unprecedented helplessness, and he had never heard such a tone from the Son of Heaven since he had been serving by the Son of Heaven.
Persistently brushing the dust, Qiu Neiguan crossed the threshold and was ordered to leave. As the day progressed, outside the verandah, a lonely figure stretched extraordinarily long.
The cold wind rolls up the leaves, and the crows cry and wither the branches.
A slave rushed into the Changwang Mansion in a hurry.
"King King, King Wang! It's not good to be big."
