Chapter 355: A Trace of Loneliness
After Xiaoyi returned to Xiaofu, he first went to worship his parents and aunt.
This time, some days have passed, and Wan Chao has not changed much from when he left, and it is still as peaceful and quiet as ever.
Xiaoyi originally planned to enter the palace tomorrow to visit Du Ruosheng and Yan Qinghan after resting today.
However, before he could rest, a message came to the house.
"Childe, you're back." The housekeeper Chen Bocai entered the house, and when he saw Xiaoyi, he immediately greeted him.
"Uncle Chen, what are you doing here?" Xiaoyi didn't see him when he returned home, and he didn't come back until it was night.
"I saw that some parts of the ancestral hall in this backyard were not lightly eroded, so I went to ask the carpenter on the street and wanted to repair it tomorrow." Uncle Chen said slowly.
"Then why do you look surprised, but what's going on?" Xiaoyi saw that Uncle Chen's face was wrong, so he asked.
"yes, it wasn't much, but do you know what else I've heard on the street?" Uncle Chen also pretended to be mysterious.
As he spoke, he took a few steps closer to Xiaoyi.
"Uncle Chen, you are such an old person, don't come to the child's set." Xiaoyi and the voice.
"Oh, it's better to keep this thing quiet!" Uncle Chen became cautious instead.
"Then tell me, what the hell is going on?" Xiaoyi leaned closer and said lightly.
"It seems that the emperor left the palace without saying goodbye, and now this government is handled by the crown prince of the previous dynasty, that is, the emperor's royal brother. Although some of them say that the emperor and the queen are for a private visit, but those who don't know that the emperor's style has always been strange, but now they don't know what the reason is, and they don't know where they are! ”
Uncle Chen shook his head and sighed.
"You said that the emperor and the queen are not in the palace now?" Xiaoyi was also shocked when he heard the news, how long has it been, and this Yan Qinghan and Du Ruosheng have tossed new tricks, which is really beyond his expectations.
"yes, that's what the people say now, anyway." Uncle Chen nodded in affirmation.
"Uncle Chen, you don't need to prepare a meal for me at night, I'm going to go out."
Xiaoyi looked anxious, and before Uncle Chen could react, he had already left the house.
Uncle Chen looked at the disappeared trace, shook his head and left.
Xiaoyi ran all the way to the imperial city, and if he wanted to know the truth, he could only go to the palace to find out.
When they came to the city gate, these guards guarding the gate naturally knew Xiaoyi, and they did not stop it, and Xiaoyi entered the palace smoothly.
After entering the palace, if it was really as Uncle Chen said, the scope of finding Yan Qinghan would be too large, so Xiaoyi went directly to Huaqing Palace.
Whether Du Ruosheng really has to open it, it will naturally be clear when he goes to Huaqing Palace.
Xiaoyi didn't dare to stay all the way, when he came to Huaqing Palace, the palace gate of Huaqing Palace was still open, and there were maids in and out inside, everything was as usual, when he saw this scene, Xiaoyi's heart relaxed for a moment.
Xiaoyi stepped into the Huaqing Palace and walked towards the main hall with bright light.
When I arrived at the temple gate, I ran into Luoyu.
"General Xiao?" Luo Yu said suspiciously.
"I'm not a general now, just call me Xiaoyi, what about your mother?" Xiaoyi asked softly.
However, when Luo Yu heard Du Ruosheng's name, her originally good face suddenly sank, and then she said sullenly: "Niangniang... Mother..."
Xiaoyi looked at her like this, and her mood instantly fell to the bottom, "Is your mother really gone?" "Scholarly
"Well, about a month ago, I left without a sound, and when the emperor learned about it, he was also anxious, but like Niangniang, he suddenly disappeared." The more Luo Yu spoke, the more sad she became, and finally accepted the matter of Niangniang's departure, but this time Xiaoyi said all of them back.
"Do you know which palace the eldest prince lives in?" Xiaoyi then asked again.
Luo Yu paused before saying, "Yuhua Palace, it seems that the eldest prince used to be in the palace. ”
"You take good care of Huaqing Palace, maybe your mother will come back one day." Seeing that Luoyu was sad again because of herself, Xiaoyi didn't forget to say a word of relief before leaving.
"Really? Xiao Gongzi.."
Before Luo Yu finished speaking, Xiaoyi turned around and left.
Luo Yu looked at his hurried back and muttered, "Do you know where Yuhua Palace is, leave without asking....."
However, Luo Yu underestimated him, as early as many years ago, all the palaces in this palace had a few secret passages that Xiaoyi knew clearly.
Yuhua Palace he naturally knew that because it was the palace where the prince lived in the palace when he was not rewarded, it was not far from these palaces in the harem, and because the prince was born to the queen of the previous dynasty, he should have lived with the queen, but the first emperor was afraid that the prince would be injured because of the scene, so he built this palace for him alone, but it was not far from the Huaqing Palace, in the southeast of the Huaqing Palace.
Not long after walking, Xiaoyi arrived in front of Yuhua Palace.
It looks much cleaner here, and there aren't even a few guards and maidservants.
Xiaoyi walked all the way to the main hall, and he didn't meet anyone who passed the word.
He walked into the main hall, and when he turned into the side hall, he saw Yan Jinyu bowing his head and reviewing, completely unaware of his arrival.
It wasn't until he stopped in front of Yan Jinyu's case that a white figure met Yan Jinyu's eyes that Yan Jinyu slowly raised his head.
When he saw Xiaoyi, he looked a little surprised.
"When did you come back?" Yan Jinyu saw Xiaoyi coming in the dust and asked.
"Today. When I heard about the affairs of the palace, I rushed over immediately. Xiaoyi said indifferently.
"It seems that it has spread outside the palace." Yan Jinyu frowned slightly, thinking that they would hide this matter well, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"What the hell is going on? How could the emperor leave without a sound, and the queen mother, she... And why did she leave? When she asked this sentence, Xiaoyi knew that she couldn't get an answer, and what she didn't know, Yan Jinyu couldn't even know.
"Don't you know exactly what's going on? Yes, the emperor just followed the queen and left silently, he really trusted my brother, and he was relieved to hand over the entire Ten Thousand Dynasty to me. ”
Yan Jinyu smiled bitterly.
"You are humble, this country should have been yours since eight years ago, and for him, he just took charge of it for you for a while." Xiaoyi said lightly.
"No matter how good the throne is, those who don't want it will not be moved, as soon as Akan leaves like this, I naturally can't let the government go unchecked, and now it has just been calmed down, if there is another incident, how should I explain to him." Yan Jinyu said solemnly.
"Perhaps, he doesn't want to be in this position at all, it's just that he's the same as you, he doesn't want each other to bear for each other, and Du Ruosheng has always been an irreparable deficiency for him, so he is so impulsive this time."
"Looks like you know a lot about their entanglements, huh?" Yan Jinyu looked at Xiaoyi with interest and said with a light smile.
"After all, there are some things that you didn't know before." Xiaoyi looked at Yan Jinyu and said calmly.
Yan Jinyu nodded slightly and acquiesced.
After Xiaoyi left the palace, he still had regrets in his heart, although he didn't know how Du Ruosheng chose in the end, but her non-farewell always made Xiaoyi a little sad.
"Du Ruosheng, where are you? Did he catch up with you again? ”
Xiaoyi looked at the bright moon above the dark night, with a hint of sadness in her tone.
