Chapter 27: The Flower Dynasty Festival (3)

A large group of people went to the Imperial West Lake, and the guards surrounded the periphery of the Imperial West Lake, leaving a special passage for the children of the royal family. To the east of Yuxi Lake is a peach blossom forest. Entering the forest, the aroma is fragrant and the chicks are singing. It can be described as the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the scene of spring. The emperor said as he walked: "Seeing this peach blossom forest reminds me of Mr. Jingjie in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He has a "Peach Blossom Spring", in which the scene can be described as fascinating! Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, even if they don't know what can they do in Wei and Jin? Speaking of which, this Mr. Jingjie is a person with a very good character, who not only wants to be out of the public again with the concept of "being unheard of at forty years, but is not afraid of anything" and has the idea of "having a different path in his eyes and a mountain in his heart." ”

King Anyang stepped forward and said: "Mr. Jingjie is seeking fame and fortune, and he himself is contradictory. Therefore, most of his articles praise the idyllic scenery, which is of no use in the court. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also stood up and said: "Erchen thinks that Mr. Jingjie is just disgusted with the darkness of officialdom. In comparison, the idyllic scenery is the most relaxing for Mr. Instead of letting yourself go along with the dirt, it is better to stay away from the court and maintain your own nature. Erchen believes that such a person is a person with integrity. ”

King Anyang hurriedly said: "Father, the sons and daughters think that regardless of national affairs, they only choose themselves to be greedy for pleasure, and what they say about outstanding integrity is actually just shirking responsibility."

"Alright, alright!" The emperor turned around, "Each of you has your own ideas, which is good. Since ancient times, everything has pros and cons, so there is no need to compete for everything. ”

The two saluted and said, "The sons and daughters must follow the teachings of their father."

At this time, the eldest princess stepped forward and said, "Father, the son has come to ask for sin."

"Huh? What are your sins? ”

"The retainer just saw that an object had fallen from Wan Ji, the attendant beside His Royal Highness the Prince, so he thought about asking my maid to pick it up and return it to him. But who knows, when I picked it up, I saw that it was a terrible thing. Today is the Flower Dynasty Festival, and it shouldn't have made his father angry, but Chu Yi didn't dare to hide this kind of big event. I had to come and plead guilty. ”

"Picked up something? Take a look at it first! ”

The eldest princess handed over a piece of incense, and the emperor took it, and immediately became angry, and said angrily: "Where did you just say you got this from!"

"Back to my father's words, it fell from the body of His Royal Highness the Prince's personal attendant Wan Ji."

Wan Ji ran forward and fell to his knees.

"This thing is yours?!" As he spoke, the emperor threw the thing in front of Wan Ji. Wan Ji picked it up and looked at it, and immediately shouted that he was wronged.

King Anyang said on the side: "Wronged? Could it be that the eldest princess is trying to harm you! ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked up the incense card and looked at it carefully, and he was also shocked. This incense plaque is engraved with the image of a bat with a word written on it: jade

The prince said to himself: "This is the incense card of Yulongtai?!" He quickly knelt down, "Father, Wan Ji has always been by my side, he will never collude with the people of Yulongtai!" ”

King Anyang: "Oh? Wan Ji will not collude, so what about you, the prince? ”

The prince glared at him angrily and said, "What do you mean?!"

"It's not interesting, it's just speculation."

The eldest princess also hurriedly said: "If it is said that the son has wronged His Royal Highness the Prince, then check Wanji's clothes." If this kind of incense brand is placed on the body for a long time, it will also make the smell of incense brand appear on the clothes. Moreover, if the incense brand is just made, some of the incense will be left on the clothes. ”

The emperor: "Shen Fan! Examine! ”

Shen Fan beckoned several eunuchs to take off Wanji's clothes, smelled the fragrance carefully, and found the residual incense in the underwear cloth.

The emperor was still angry and said, "What else do you want to say?!" Collusion with Yulongtai, what are your intentions! ”

Prince: "Father! At this time, there must be something strange, Wan Ji has been with me for so long, he will not do such a thing! ”

"Shut up!" The emperor was furious, "He won't do it, that's you?" ”

"I ......" the prince was speechless for a moment.

"Someone! Take the prince and this man back and put them in prison! ”

"Father! It's not a son! Erchen really didn't do anything......"

"Father." Just as the crown prince was taken away, Princess Su'an, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward to salute.

"Are you going to help him? If you dare to help him, I will punish you with you. ”

"The prince did such a thing, and Su An couldn't help even if he wanted to. It's just that Su An feels that Su An can't afford the crime of bullying the king. ”

"Say."

"Father, can you check King Anyang's clothes?"

King Anyang was anxious: "What? Check my clothes? What do you want to do? ”

"Su An doesn't want to do anything. I just beg my father to check it, maybe he can find out something. ”

The emperor looked at King Anyang: "Shen Fan."

"The minions are here."

"Search."

Shen Fan trembled and took off King Anyang's clothes, and as soon as he took them off, a hairpin fell from it. Princess Su'an picked up the hairpin and handed it to the emperor. I saw that this hairpin was well-made, blue-green, and the end of the hairpin was also engraved with a word: wood

"Father, do you know whose hairpin this hairpin is?"

"Who?"

"This is Miss Mufu's hairpin."

"Mufu? Aren't all the people in Mufu already there? ”

"Yes."

"Then this hairpin ......" the emperor looked at King Anyang. King Anyang immediately knelt on the ground: "Father! Erchen doesn't know! Erchen really doesn't know! ”

The emperor clutched the hairpin tightly and scolded: "Bastard thing! I don't know? How can it be in your clothes! You don't know?! ”

"Erchen really doesn't know!"

The eldest princess said on the side: "Since you have found the hairpin of Mufu from the king of Anyang, how does my sister know that the hairpin is here of the king of Anyang?"

Princess Su'an smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a coincidence. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was locked up before, but for the sake of the Flower Dynasty Festival, I was specially ordered to look for Jiao Weiqin. And about last month, I went to visit my sister, and when I returned to the palace, I happened to see King Anyang. I wanted to go up to say hello and ask about the Flower Dynasty Festival, but the imperial brother was in a hurry. I was curious, so I asked Xiao Nai to follow. Unfortunately, I saw the hairpin on the emperor's brother. Xiao Nai was also in a hurry to come back and report to me, but he never thought of bumping into a businessman, and learned the whereabouts of Jiao Weiqin during the apology chat. Su An originally wanted to hide this matter for the imperial brother, but today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the people of Yulongtai have been selflessly sued by the imperial brother and sister Grand Duke, so Su An can't deceive his father. Although it is a little unworthy of the emperor's brother, the father's sainthood and virtue are the most important. Besides, Lord Mu is loyal to the country and will not turn a blind eye to death, and the retainer thinks that it is better to return a peace to him as soon as possible. I also ask my father to decide. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. The emperor was even more angry and broke the hairpin in his hand. Immediately ordered someone to bring the crown prince and the king of Anyang back for strict interrogation.

—— —— ——

After the people of the imperial palace moved to the West Lake, the people in front of the Flower Temple should do whatever they wanted. Xuan Zhuyi and the others wandered aimlessly on the street.

Xuan Zhuyi: "It was really wonderful just now, and I started fighting in front of everyone."

Ouyang Ruolin: "It can be seen how anxious this King of Anyang is."

Shang Ling: "However, it is not difficult to see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not prepared at all."

Mu Zhixi: "Well, it's thanks to Princess Su'an who came forward to solve the siege. But strange to say, she really happened to have that Jiaowei piano? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "That definitely can't be fake." Princess Su'an must have known in advance that King Anyang would make such a play, so she prepared it in advance in case of emergency. ”

Shang Ling: "Scheming women are so terrible, even men can't deal with them."

Ouyang Ruolin: "It's just that I haven't seen what she looks like." Why did she wear the veil all the time? ”

Shang Ling: "Princess Su'an had a strange illness when she was a child, and she was injured, as if she couldn't directly pass through the sun, so she always wore a veil. Because she wore a veil when she was very young, it is said that no one in the world today has seen her true face after the veil. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Miss Zhixi, where is your hairpin?"

Mu Zhixi touched her hair with her backhand, and it was empty.

Mu Zhixi: "Huh? What about my hairpin? ”

Mu Jinggong: "Was there too many people just now and accidentally touched it?"

Mu Zhixi: "Then I'll go back and find it." As she spoke, she was going to reflexively go back to find the hairpin. Xuan Zhuyi grabbed her and said, "Huh? Can so many people find it? Otherwise, we'll buy another one later. ”

Mu Zhixi: "That hairpin is very important to me, I have to find it!" Mu Zhixi broke free of Xuan Zhuyi and ran towards the Flower Temple.

"Sister!" Mu Jinggong turned to Xuan Zhuyi and said, "That hairpin was given to my sister by my brother-in-law, and it is impossible for her not to look for it." After saying that, he also ran towards the Flower Temple. Everyone looked at each other and hurried towards the Flower Temple. But halfway through the chase, I saw Mu Jinggong standing in place at a loss.

Xuan Zhuyi: "Senior Sister Gong, what's wrong?" What about Zhixi? ”

Mu Jinggong: "Sister...... Sister She ...... I do not know. I can't find her when I follow her! ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "There are a lot of people here, and it is possible to lose them."

Shang Ling: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. What do you see on the side of the pillar over there? ”

The crowd ran over and saw a red bell under the pillar.

Shang Ling: "I'm afraid she was taken away."

Mu Jinggong: "Who will take my sister away?!"

Xuan Zhuyi: "...... Probably...... Enemy ......"

Mu Jinggong went limp down, but fortunately Ouyang Ruolin helped him, otherwise he would have sat on the ground.

Yu Cihe grabbed the white and said: "Not necessarily. Your enemies should not know that you are still alive. ”

Shang Ling: "What do you mean by that?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Miss Gong, how did you escape at that time?"

Mu Jinggong: "We were rescued by the monks of Lingxian Pavilion."

Xuan Zhuyi: "Lingxian Pavilion? So you had something to do with Lingsenge at that time? ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Were there other people when it was on fire?"

Mu Jinggong: "Probably not." It seemed to be the second watch, and it was about the third watch when we escaped. I remember we were supposed to be in front of a suburb with no one around. ”

Yu Tzu Hee: "Then it shouldn't be the enemy who kidnapped Miss Zhixi." It could be ......"

Shang Ling: "What is it?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "...... It could be the one who took her hairpin, or the one who saved you. ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "Isn't the person who saved them from Lingxian Pavilion?" Why did you take Senior Sister Xi away? ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "I don't know about this either. But if it's not fatal, then it will definitely leave us with clues to find Miss Zhixi. Let's look around here and see if there are any clues. ”

And they searched round the pillars and the side of the wall. After a while, I heard Mu Jinggong shouting: "Found it!" The crowd hurried over to see. I saw Mu Jinggong standing in a corner, looking at something in his hand. She was holding a pure white feather in her hand, which looked like a pigeon's feather. The front and back of the pigeon feather have two words written in blood: west of the city

Xuan Zhuyi: "It seems that we are going to the west of the city."

Ouyang Ruolin: "But...... I heard that the west of the city is haunted! There's no one to live there. ”

Shang Ling: "...... Saving lives matters. It doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost, just take a look. ”
