Chapter 579: Xun'er is missing
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? The prince anxiously stepped forward and pulled Gu Yunxin into the room and sat down.
"Xun'er, Xun'er is gone." Gu Yunxin choked up.
"What? How so? The prince said hurriedly.
This is the palace, how could the child disappear out of thin air? Could it be that he is the person of King An? Did he have Xun'er taken away in order to threaten himself?
"I don't know, the palace maid said that the queen mother was in the garden, and she wanted to see Xun'er, so I asked Mama and Xiangzhi to take the child over, but I didn't see Mama and Xun'er come back with Xun'er for a few hours, and I wondered if the imperial grandmother took the child back to Fukang Palace, so I went to look for it, but the imperial grandmother said that she didn't go to the garden at all this afternoon, let alone let Xun'er be carried over." Gu Yun said sadly.
If it weren't for the fact that he had an awkward relationship with the prince these days and didn't follow the child to the garden, how could such a thing happen.
"Don't worry, Mo Feng, send someone to block all the roads out of the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Jiang Xiao and Ling Xiao quickly sent people to search in the palace to find Xun'er as soon as possible. The prince commanded hurriedly.
The child was lost, and he, the father, was also very anxious, but he couldn't show his worry, otherwise Gu Yunxin would definitely be even more sad.
In order to prevent the people who took the child from finding out, the prince did not let the Praetorian Guards participate, but mobilized the guards of his East Palace to let them secretly investigate.
"The crown princess doesn't have to be too anxious, the other party must have taken the child in mind to blackmail you and the prince, so the child must be safe." Yun Zheng comforted softly.
"But what if they jump off the wall in a hurry? Xun'er is still so young, no one knows what they will do to such a young child. Gu Yunxin cried.
If the child is found this time, he will definitely take the child back to the Taifu Mansion, in this palace, it is too dangerous.
Even if you dodge this time, you can't guarantee that there will be no next time. There are more concubines in the harem, and the safety of this child is even more problematic.
On the other side, the palace maid was walking towards the north garden in the palace with Xun'er in her arms, which was the most remote place in the palace, and even the palace maids and eunuchs did not live here.
The more he walked, the more desolate he became, Xun'er stared at a pair of big watery eyes, looking east and west, very curious about the surrounding scenery
Seeing that Xun'er was not scared at all, the palace maid couldn't help frowning, "You little guy, you're really bold, I just took you away, and I didn't cry or make trouble." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xun'er's mouth flattened, and then she cried. Tears are more like beads with broken threads, and they can't be stopped at all.
"Don't cry, if you cry again, I'll throw you to feed the wolves." The palace maid said coldly.
Xun'er seemed to understand the other party's words, and looked at the little palace maid with a twitch of grievance.
Seeing this, the little palace maid couldn't help but hook her lips slightly, "You little guy is really interesting, you can understand my words at such a young age." If you were born in an ordinary high-ranking family, you must be loved in the palm of your hand. It's a pity, you were born in the emperor's family, this royal family is the most unwarm place, you are going to be a victim at such a young age, if your father is willing to exchange the throne for your life, I am afraid that you will not live long. ”
The little palace maid talked to herself, and finally walked to a courtyard in the remote part of the North Garden, the wall of the courtyard had collapsed, and several rooms were also dilapidated, only the main hall and the kitchen on the side had traces of repair.
The little palace maid walked into the house with Xun'er in her arms, put Xun'er on the bed, and propped up the fence next to the bed. Seeing that there was no problem, he stepped out of the room.
Xun'er sat on the bed, her eyes dripping into the room, and sat quietly.
After the little palace maid left the room, she went around to the back of the room, took out a carrier pigeon from the cage, stuffed the note written in advance into the small bamboo tube at the ankle of the carrier pigeon, released the carrier pigeon, watched the carrier pigeon fly away and disappeared, and then returned to the room.
The guards of the East Palace searched the palace, even if they acted secretly, but they still attracted the attention of many people.
What's more, just now Gu Yunxin also sent someone to the Empress Dowager's palace to ask Xun'er, and the Empress Dowager was also very worried.
"Mama Ruan, go to the East Palace and ask how Xun'er is." The Queen Mother said anxiously.
"Queen Mother, don't worry, the slave has already sent someone to the East Palace to ask, and there will be news later." Mama Ruan said with relief.
As soon as the words fell, Xichun in the Queen Mother's palace walked in quickly and saluted the Queen Mother. "Queen Mother, just now the slave maid went to the East Palace, the little prince was indeed taken away, and the person should not have left the palace, but the prince only let the guards of the East Palace secretly search in order not to alarm the other party."
"It's just that there are enough guards in the East Palace, Mama Ruan, send the guards who can be mobilized in the Fukang Palace together. Even if the palace is turned over, the great-grandson of the mourning family must be found. The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.
This royal family has always attached the most importance to the heirs, not to mention, this is still the eldest son of the crown prince, how important is this identity.
"The queen mother, the slave maid thinks that the reason why the prince did not send the Praetorian Guards to find out is that he is worried about startling the snake, although there are not many guards in the East Palace, but they are all trained by the prince himself, and their ability to do things is much stronger than that of ordinary guards, let's wait for the news with peace of mind, if the prince's plan is ruined, and the little prince is in danger, wouldn't it help the bad guys?" Mama Ruan calmly analyzed.
"Yes, yes, you're right, but the mourning family is very worried, Xun'er is such a young child, he has just learned to walk, and he doesn't know the way, even if he wants to, he can't pull it out." The Queen Mother sighed and said.
Outside the palace, after King An's people received the news delivered by the carrier pigeon, they smiled evilly, "God really help me, it's just that I lost a child, and the East Palace is already in chaos." How can such a person sit firmly in the country of the Great Zhou. ”
"Looks like you're doing a good job." Lan Ru sat on a chair next to her and took a sip of tea.
"Yes, when I ascend to the throne, I will definitely not let Zhao Yi go." King An gritted his teeth and said.
Hearing this, Lan Ru paused slightly, and King An's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this, and he continued: "Miss Lan, isn't the old love unforgettable? It's been a while since the prince returned to the palace, and he hasn't asked the girl about you these days. ”
"I know, this point does not need to be reminded by the prince, the relationship between me and you is only a cooperative relationship, and I am not your subordinate." Lan Ru said coldly.
"The people around Miss Lan have their own unique skills, after this cooperation, I am really a little reluctant to Miss Lan, shouldn't the girl think about it?" King An sneered.
"Consider? What to consider? Be your princess? Forget it, after this matter is over, I will leave, and then go to Nanchu, the rivers and mountains of this Great Zhou, King An will enjoy it. After speaking, Lan got up and walked out of the courtyard.
Leaving the courtyard where King An was, Lan Ru walked on the street with the maidservant, and the maid Qiaoying looked at Lan Rushi, but finally didn't dare to speak.
Lan Ru glanced at Qiao Ying and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, the hall master doesn't like to twist and pinch the most." ”
"Hall Master, are we really going to leave Da Zhou? Also, if you help King An deal with the lord like this, what will the lord do if he uses the Hades decree after the lord knows about it? Qiao Ying worried.
The Hades Order is the highest order of the Netherworld Pavilion, and the so-called Hades will let you die in the third watch, and will never leave you until the fifth watch. Moreover, as soon as this Hades Order comes out, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will be hunted down, and not only the people of the Netherworld Pavilion, but also other people in the rivers and lakes.
If the people in the Netherworld Pavilion complete the task, they can be directly promoted to the hall master, and if other people from the rivers and lakes complete the task, they will get a very generous bonus.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that my life is still worth a lot?" Lan sneered.
"The ...... of the Hallmaster"
"Okay, go out shopping, don't talk about those troublesome things, there is a cloth village in front, let's go in and have a look." After speaking, Lan Ru walked towards Buzhuang.
Walking into the cloth village, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, "This girl, what material do you like?" We have new Yunjin and Moon Shadow Veil in our store, do you want to see it? ”
"Shopkeeper, I want to make clothes, find a master to measure it for me." Lan Ru said lightly.
"Okay, old woman, come and measure the guests." The shopkeeper shouted behind the curtain.
"Eh, here, here, here. I'm making a lot of clothes over there, and I'm going to send them to the Qin Mansion the day after tomorrow. ”
"Qin Mansion? I don't know which Qin Mansion it is? Lan Ru wondered.
"This Qin Mansion moved to Kyoto from the south, it is said that it is a big business, the Qin family is very generous, and the girls in the mansion make clothes for one person or three or five." The proprietress said lightly while measuring Lan Ru's size.
The Qin family? How could the time when the Qin family came to Kyoto so close to the time when King An came? Isn't it that he is also the person who is also King An?
Thinking of this, Lan Ru said lightly: "I have long heard that the mandarin ducks embroidered by the proprietress are the same as the real ones, and one day the proprietress can embroider a pair of mandarin ducks on a handkerchief." ”
"I don't know what kind of mandarin duck the girl wants?"
"Of course, it's a mandarin duck playing in the water, but the mandarin ducks I want are all red feathers." Lan said with a smile.
Hearing this, the proprietress put away the smile on her face, glanced at Lan Ru is hand, and saw Lan Ru shaking the token in her hand, so she said to Lan Ru Shi: "My subordinates don't know that it is the hall master, but what does the hall master command?" ”
"It's nothing, I have news to tell the lord, get a pen and paper." Lan Ru said lightly.
The proprietress brought the pen and paper as she said, and Lan Ru wrote a few words on the paper roll, and stuffed the paper roll into a small bamboo tube.
After a while, in the backyard of Buzhuang, a carrier pigeon flew out in the direction of the outside of the city......
