Chapter 56

The fourth prince saw that Emperor Jin had left for a long time before coming back, and it was estimated that something might have happened, but he saw him sitting upright on the Jinluan chair, but his eyes were looking at Du Shangshu's son Du Taichangqing, with a trace of displeasure on his face. The fourth prince was surprised, is it related to this Du Gongzi? So much so that in the cheerful atmosphere of this dinner, it will make Emperor Jin unhappy, and it seems that things are not small.

The four princes were looking at Du Wenbo, their eyebrows were solemn, and they didn't look up to see the dancing girls in the center of the hall, turning a deaf ear to the people and things around them, and their hearts were heavy, it seemed that something must have happened between the monarchs and ministers.

Du Wenbo didn't know that the emperor was watching him, he was still drinking sullenly, and he didn't want to watch the show in the hall, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more annoying he became, this crazy woman, it's really a bad thing, now Xin Yao's matter is known to her, God knows what kind of thing she will do, if she leaves, she will definitely go to the torture room, Xin Yao has been injured like that by her, but what should I do? Fortunately, her father was at this banquet, and she couldn't tell the secret for a while, so when she went back tonight, she quickly transferred Xin Yao, otherwise it would be over......

Emperor Jin saw that Du Wenbo was absent-minded and depressed, there must be something, it seems that Feng Sijiao is telling the truth, he is the son of the former imperial eunuch, and he is a talented man in Tanzhou, this Chaoyang princess must know him, maybe it is an old acquaintance, otherwise my people can't find it, how can he find it, do you want to find a ghost here, no, the matter has not been clarified yet, don't let anyone know first, wait to see that princess, and make plans.

After three rounds of wine, Emperor Jin signaled the end of the banquet of Duke Gao, Emperor Jin got up and left the table, and the four princes saluted: "Thank you Your Majesty the Emperor for your hospitality." ”

Emperor Jin smiled: "The four princes don't have to be polite, please go back and rest, the four princes of Tanzhou City have never been here, there are many interesting places, let the Ministry of Rites arrange it, you have a good look." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's good intentions."

"Okay, I like the beauties sent by Emperor Zhou very much, they have no style, the fourth prince, this Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, you say yes or no, haha..."

The fourth prince smiled in agreement: "Yes, yes." ”

Emperor Jin smiled and left with his hands behind his back, followed by Gonggong Gao. The other courtiers in the hall said in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

As soon as Du Wenbo and his father came out of the main hall, they were stopped by a father-in-law: "Mrs. Du, Changqing, please stay, the emperor is invited." ”

Du Wenbo chuckled in his heart, the emperor is looking for himself so late, what's the matter? As far as his title of Taichangqing is concerned, it was originally an idle position, even if there is something in the court, he will not look for him, is it Xin Yao's business? Feng Sijiao sued herself? So fast, how could it be!

Du Wenbo didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly said goodbye to his father and followed his father-in-law to see the emperor.

Emperor Jin stood at the door of the side hall, not in a hurry to go in, he was waiting for Du Wenbo, there were some things he wanted to figure out.

The father-in-law led Du Wenbo to walk quickly, and when he saw the emperor, Du Wenbo quickly knelt down: "The emperor is safe." ”

"Well, get up."

Then he said to his father-in-law, who came with him, "Go down." The father-in-law hurriedly took a few steps back and turned to leave.

Du Wenbo got up, tied his hands and lowered his head, not daring to look at Emperor Jin.

"Du Aiqing, don't you ask about it so late, what is the matter with me leaving you?" Emperor Jin stared at Du Wenbo's face, wanting to see some clues.

"Weichen is afraid, the emperor left Weichen, no matter what happens, the minister should do his best, how dare he ask the emperor." Du Wenbo replied cautiously.

"So what's the matter with Du Aiqing? Didn't tell me? Emperor Jin continued to ask.

"There is something, but it is so late, the minister is afraid of affecting the emperor's dragon body, so he does not dare to disturb the emperor's rest." It seems that the emperor knows, I'm afraid he can't hide it, he just thought about it, except for Xin Yao's matter, there is nothing else to do around him and the court.

"Oh, let's hear it."

"It was the princess of the former dynasty who was looking for a minister, and the minister knew that she was a prisoner, so he detained her." Du Wenbo had no choice, for the sake of his family and his own life, he weighed all the way, maybe Feng Sijiao really poked this matter out.

"Coming to you? It seems that the princess of the previous dynasty and Du Aiqing have a good relationship, Du Aiqing is loyal, not bad, not bad, what is the relationship between you and Feng Dao's daughter? I heard that she is chasing you closely. ”

"Miss Feng has some meaning to the minister, but she hasn't ...... yet What a relationship. Du Wenbo was glad that he guessed correctly, if he hesitated, it would be over, but he didn't want to admit his relationship with Feng Sijiao.

"Let's go, let's go into the temple." Emperor Jin was very satisfied with his answer, and his face was a lot more pleasant.

Du Wenbo followed behind Emperor Jin and entered the side hall, and sure enough, he saw Feng Sijiao, she was so bold, she actually sued Emperor Jin directly, did she want to kill me!

When Feng Sijiao saw Emperor Jin, she hurriedly got up from her chair and saluted.

Emperor Jin didn't sit down, and said directly: "Ma Ping, you go and prepare the carriage, I have to change into civilian clothes, don't alarm anyone, Du Aiqing leads the way, don't alarm your father, I want to meet the princess of the previous dynasty." ”

"Yes." Ma Ping and Du Wenbo responded.

"Father-in-law Gao, go pick up civilian clothes for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, will you change it in the side hall?" Gao Gonggong asked.

"Yes."

Waiting for Emperor Jin to change his clothes, Du Wenbo glared at Feng Sijiao fiercely, eager to eat her. Feng Sijiao saw Du Wenbo glaring at him with terrible eyes, could it be that he misunderstood, he wanted to ask for credit for him, and he didn't say anything unfavorable to him, so he wanted to step forward to explain, and shouted: "Wenbo, I ......" Du Wenbo knew her intentions, and whispered: "This is the palace, shut up." Feng Sijiao hurriedly closed her mouth and didn't dare to say more.

Soon Ma Ping came back, Emperor Jin also changed his clothes, ordered Gao Gonggong to stay, and took Du Wenbo and Feng Sijiao into the carriage.

*****

Before the four princes returned to the Sifang Pavilion, they received a note from Lu Chuan while sitting in the carriage, "Your Highness, this is just sent by the people of the secret guard." ”

The fourth prince looked at the note: Miss Xin Yao is missing. He panicked all of a sudden, lifted the curtain and asked Lu Chuan: "When is it, why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

Lu Chuan said: "The subordinates and you went to the banquet in the palace, and the others really couldn't tell them, and the specific details were not clear to the subordinates." ”

The fourth prince came out of the carriage and shouted to Lu Chuan, "Give me your horse." ”

Lu Chuan hurriedly dismounted, handed him the reins, and got on the horse of the guards next to him, and the two of them galloped back to the Sifang Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the door, the leader of the secret guard immediately stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, after Xiao Zhen informed me of this, our people have gone out to look for it, but there is still no news." ”

"Didn't I let you watch? How did she disappear under your noses? You make it clear to me! The fourth prince said sharply.

The leader of the dark guard said: "Because the rain is very heavy, Xiao Zhen said that the girl went out with the clothes of the rough girl in the Sifang Pavilion, with an umbrella, because she covered her face, her subordinates really didn't notice it, it was a dereliction of duty by her subordinates, and she asked Her Highness to deal with it." ”

The fourth prince was angry: "Find someone first, if you can't find it, you will take the blame yourself!" ”

The leader of the dark guard said "Yes" and hurriedly went out to find someone, but at night, where to look for it, there are not many clues from Xiao Zhen, and he has been looking for several hours, but he has found nothing.

Xiao Zhen has been kneeling on the ground for several hours, and when she saw the four princes coming in, she hurriedly cried and pounced on her: "Your Highness, kill the slave maid......

The fourth prince said angrily: "What's the use of me killing you!" Let's get to the point yet. ”

Xiao Zhen knelt down and told the four princes the story of Xin Yao's going to see her old friend. ”

The fourth prince said secretly: "Old friend? suffered, it must have been calculated by an old friend, Lu Chuan, go and check, what old friends does the princess of the previous dynasty have in Tanzhou? ”

Lu Chuan said: "The previous dynasty? Your Highness, are you talking about the State of Chu? ”

"Yes, don't go quickly, this matter is going on secretly, don't let the people of the Jin Kingdom find out."

"Yes." Lu Chuan hurriedly went out to dispatch the secret guards.

The four princes never thought that such a thing would happen, and their identities could not go out to find them in person, so they could only sit down and wait for news.

He looked at Xiao Zhen who was kneeling on the ground and reprimanded: "You go back to the room first and find someone, otherwise you will cut yourself." ”

"Your Highness." Xiao Zhen kowtowed and cried.

The fourth prince was very remorseful, when he found out that she was the princess of Chu State, he should have found out his identity, showed his attitude, and would not dislike her because she was a prisoner of the Jin State, hand her over to the Jin State, and tell her that he would love and protect her more, so that she would not go behind her back to see any old friends, at least she would discuss it with herself, now, people's hearts are unpredictable, Xin Yao is too simple, if her old friend really betrays her and hands her over to the government, then no matter what method is used, she must be rescued, Even if you want to open your mouth to Emperor Jin......
