Chapter 33: The Disappearance of Multiple Teenage Girls
In the name of praying for the emperor, the queen took a group of people to Ci'an Temple. The reason why she dared to come was to completely solve the trouble. She had already designed everything with Lin Sanren, just waiting for the people behind her to jump into this urn.
The queen and her entourage arrived at Ci'an Temple, and the Ci'an host respectfully greeted the queen and took the queen to the main hall to pay homage and pray for blessings.
After everything was over, the host welcomed the queen into the backyard meditation room to rest.
"Autumn Joy!" After everyone retreated, the queen summoned Qiu Xi.
"Mother, do you really want this?" Qiu Xi was a little worried.
"It's all come to this point, you should hurry up and prepare!" Isn't the queen's heart up and down? However, she must make a decision, and she must settle with the mountain wind.
The queen and Qiu Xi changed their clothes, left the meditation room, and walked towards the mountains and forests. The place where she met Shanfeng back then was in the pavilion on the mountain behind Ci'an Temple.
At this time, there was a person standing in the pavilion, and this person was none other than Shanfeng. The queen came in a hurry in a maid's dress, and the mountain wind immediately greeted her.
"The grass people see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old." When the mountain wind saw the queen, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
"Mountain Wind, get up quickly!" The queen stepped forward quickly to help the mountain wind, tears slid down, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Queen Mother, I haven't seen you for many years and still have such a graceful demeanor!"
"Don't always call me Queen, I like to hear you change me for Roushu." When the queen said this, her face was as shy as a girl.
When the mountain breeze saw it, his heart moved slightly.
"Rou Sook! I thought you wouldn't be here today! Seeing that the queen was still the same as back then, Shanfeng's heart was soft. Thinking of the destruction of the family, my heart is very painful!
"I've always wanted to see you since I saw you on the night of my birthday. But I couldn't find you. In fact, in my heart, I think about you all the time......" The queen said that she was emotional, and she burst into tears.
Shan Feng's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but reach out and put his hand on the queen's shoulder. The queen leaned on the bosom of the mountain wind.
"When I heard about your clan, I was filled with grief. If it weren't for me, why would you have come to this calamity! The queen sobbed.
"What happened back then......" Shanfeng stopped talking, he wanted to ask the queen, was the incident of that year instructed by her? However, when I saw the queen's appearance, I couldn't bear it!
"When I learned that something had happened to you, I sent someone to look for you...... But I haven't heard from you. Unexpectedly, many years later, you suddenly appeared in the palace. What's going on here? ”
"I am thinking about my friendship with you in the past, I promised to give you a birthday dance and pray for blessings, but I have not had the opportunity all these years. Until someone found me some time ago and promised to give me the opportunity to enter the palace to celebrate your birthday, I came! "Mountain Wind Road" All this is the heart of the national government! ”
"Guogong? Didn't you find it from Concubine Xiao? The queen looked surprised, and wondered in her heart, "How can it be the prince of the country?" ”
"I originally lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but someone sent a letter saying that you were looking for me everywhere, and I thought that your birthday was coming, so I came to the capital. After arriving in the capital, Xiao Guifei's people found me and asked me to enter the palace to dance a birthday dance for you. Later, after dancing, I was taken away as soon as I left the palace. Only then did I know that this was a bureau from beginning to end, and the people who set up the bureau were always Guogong! Shanfeng said this, his face was calm, "I can escape, it's fate." I wanted to leave, but I couldn't let you go, and I always wanted to see you. ”
The queen leaned on the arms of the mountain wind, wrapped her hands around his waist, "It's good to see each other, you and I are destined to be impossible to be together in this life." All this is a foregone conclusion, and if you had seen it earlier, you would not have reached the field you are in today. ”
"Rou Shu, I just want to know if your heart is ......" Shan Feng's words were not finished, and he only felt a pain in his back, "Ah! ”
The queen pulled the dagger out of her sleeve and stabbed it into the back of the mountain wind. A wry smile flashed across Shanfeng's face, and he pushed the queen away.
"Why?" Mountain Wind asked.
"Because this palace is the queen, this palace and your evil relationship should have been ended a long time ago. One day you live is a threat to me. Hongu has finally come to this day, and no one will be allowed to have the opportunity to destroy everything in Hongu. "The queen showed her fierce face, she must kill the mountain wind!
"In your heart, I'm the one who will hurt you?" Shan Feng also showed a wry smile on his face, "Have you ever had a friendship with me?" Back then, you sent people to destroy the lives of my whole people, just to keep your own glory and wealth? ”
"I didn't know about that incident until later. However, even if the prince did something like that, the main palace would not blame. Because, all this is for the palace, for the Lin family! ”
"I haven't been married for you for so many years. Just because I remember that year you and I made a wish under the moon, in this life, you will not marry, and you will not marry. But as soon as you returned to the capital, you entered the palace and became the emperor's woman. I don't want to break the oath I made back then. But he was persecuted by your Lin family, and the death of my entire clan is unknown. Lin Roushu, after so many years, have you ever had a trace of uneasy conscience? ”
"This palace is the queen of today, how can I regret doing things in this palace!" The queen looked disdainful, "Today, this palace came to see you, just to pull out your thorn in the heart, and sit back and relax!" ”
Shan Feng sneered, "Sure enough!" ”
"The queen mother is really a means!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly appeared, followed by the Imperial Doctor, and immediately came up to be diagnosed and treated by the mountain wind!
The queen suddenly panicked, "Prince, why are you here?" ”
"Queen Mother, why are you here?" The prince's face was indifferent, "As the queen of the middle palace, but she has a private meeting with others, her sons naturally want to rectify the harem for their father!" Someone came to take the queen back to Qingning Palace for seclusion, and she was not allowed to take half a step out of Qingning Palace without the will of the palace! ”
"You dare!" The queen was furious, a prince who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, actually wanted to attack herself, it was a fool's dream!
The Praetorian Guards stepped forward and wanted to control the queen, but the queen roared, "Where is Lin Che, the leader of the Praetorian Guard?" ”
"Mother, don't bother. Lin Che had already arranged everything. The prince sneered and ordered the Praetorian Guards, "Take it away!" ”
"The palace will go by itself" The queen finally knew that she was calculated, Lin Sanren did not come, and the Praetorian Guards she originally arranged here actually became the prince's person. The prince had been disguising himself all along, digging a pit, and just waiting for himself to jump down!
Shanfeng was taken by the imperial doctor for treatment, and the queen was escorted back to the palace by the crown prince and imprisoned.
Nangong Yu and Gu Yu saw all this clearly in the forest, Gu Yu didn't expect the prince to be so resolute that even the Praetorian Guard was absorbed by him. It turns out that he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before!
"I didn't expect the prince to be able to deal with the Praetorian Guard! Qiu Jingchen, it's not simple! "Gu Yu was really surprised!
"Do you think the prince is really that useless? Do you only know how to drink flower wine? Nangong Yu chuckled, "The best is still to come!" ”
Gu Yu said: "Then the prince deliberately closed Concubine Xiao Guifei in Changle Palace?" ”
"Only by letting Concubine Xiao Guifei suffer a little can the queen relax her vigilance like this, Shanfeng made an appointment with her, and she immediately appeared, wanting to kill Shanfeng to prevent future troubles. But I didn't expect to be calculated by the prince this time! Nangong Yu said with great disdain: "This queen's brain is too stupid, it is a miracle that she can sit on the throne of the queen!" ”
Because she is ruthless enough, she can kill her childhood sweetheart for fame and fortune, and she can abandon her niece for Yangshou. Such a woman is naturally able to take the position in the harem! Gu Yu sneered, "However, now that the crown prince controls the queen, Lin Guogong is afraid that he will make a move!" ”
"Isn't Guogong's move just what you want? The harder they fight, the better it will be for you. Isn't it? ”
"If you don't see through it, you're really boring!" Gu Yu glared at him.
"You want to be funny?" Nangong Yu took Gu Yu's delicate little hand, leaned on her ear and said, "This king hasn't tried to do something he likes in the mountains and forests, I think it will be very interesting!" ”
"Shameless!" Gu Yu understood the meaning of his words, and immediately blushed, and shook off his hand, "I'm going to see how the emperor's condition is!" Don't follow me. ”
"It's a beautiful place, don't waste it!" Nangong Yu dragged Gu Yu to the forest!
"You let go of me, what are you doing!" Gu Yu screamed in fright.
Yuan Lang, who was in the distance, saw this situation, and actually lowered his head and ran farther, pretending not to see this scene.
Nangong Yu pressed Gu Yu to a big tree, and said in a low voice: "You said that this king is boring, this king does this just to prove to you that this king is a very interesting person, and he is also keen to explore some interesting things!" ”
"Well, I was wrong. I apologize, okay? I still have to rush to see the emperor, you let me go! Gu Yu's heart trembled, he knew that Nangong Yu was not a normal person, and every time he was interested, he would not let go of himself for an hour or two. But now that it's in the mountains and forests, this wild "interest" really can't cooperate, it's terrible!
"If the apology is useful, what else do you want this king's weapon for?" Nangong Yu pressed Gu Yu tightly against the big tree, lowered her head and whispered in her ear.
The warm breath blew into Gu Yu's ears, crispy and numb, making Gu Yu panic for a while, his hands against Nangong Yu's chest, turning his head to the side, not daring to look directly at Nangong Yu. nervously said, "It's really me who said the wrong thing, this blue sky and white day, and in the mountains and forests, don't mess around!" ”
"It's getting late, and the sunset on the horizon shines into this mountain forest, which is very interesting. Besides, the king hasn't tried to do such interesting things in the woods! After Nangong Yu finished speaking, she deliberately bit Gu Yu's earlobe, which provoked her to exclaim!
"Don't, don't!" Gu Yu was very nervous, and he didn't know what to do at all? I just cursed myself in my heart: why is it so useless, why does he feel weak as soon as he gets close! Unpromising!
Nangong Yu saw Gu Yu's delicate appearance, and felt very interesting in her heart, and thought it was fun to tease her like this.
So, I couldn't help but bow my head and kiss Gu Yuyan's red lips. First it was a gentle kiss, and then it deepened the kiss.
After a deep kiss, Gu Yu almost suffocated. When kissing, you have to adjust your breathing properly, Gu Yu always can't learn it, so you have to experience the pain of suffocation every time.
Nangong Yu's big hand took advantage of Gu Yu's body, and then let go of Gu Yu and said, "Okay, this king won't really bully you here." Let's go back! ”
Gu Yu really wanted to scold: Isn't this called bullying?
But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back raw. Because she knows that if this is said, then Nangong Yu will really let herself experience what it means to be a real "bully"!
Gu Yu and Nangong Yu tossed around, and when they returned to the city, it was already the time to hold the lamp.
Nangong Yu took Gu Yu to the restaurant for dinner, and then sent Gu Yu back to the embroidery workshop.
After Nangong Yu left, it wasn't until nightfall that Gu Yu quietly entered the palace from the secret passage with medicinal materials and silver needles, and then arrived at the emperor's bedroom. At this hour, the palace people fell asleep.
Gu Yu lit a jade cigarette as usual to prevent anyone from waking up. Everything was ready, and then it was in front of the emperor's dragon couch.
"Your Majesty!" Gu Yu called softly.
"You're here?" The emperor opened his eyes and said, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside. You can take care of your body with peace of mind! ”
"Prince?" The emperor frowned slightly, obviously he was quite disappointed in the crown prince!
Gu Yu said while diagnosing the emperor's pulse: "The prince has grown up now, he has his own decision, the queen mother has been imprisoned by the prince in Qingning Palace, and then the prince should clean up the unstable ministers in the court!" ”
"The queen is just a woman, and most of her schemes come from the prince. It's not much use for her to be locked up, if the crown prince can eradicate Lin Guogong, it can be regarded as a real growth! The emperor said a little too much at once, and coughed tiredly.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Your Majesty, your top priority is to take care of your body as soon as possible. Gu Yu patted the emperor's chest and smoothed him out, "If you want to detoxify your poison, you still need a medicine primer, and I have already arranged for someone to find it." I believe that the results will be available soon. During this period, I will quietly come in every three days to perform acupuncture for you, first, to control the spread of toxins in your body, and secondly, your muscles and veins are somewhat blocked, and the acupuncture can dredge your tendons. As long as you cooperate with me, try not to drink the medicine prescribed by the doctor during the day. I will find the prince as soon as possible and ask him to arrange for someone to change those eyeliners of the previous queen......"
"No, don't move the people in front of me, and don't tell the prince about this first!" The emperor rejected Gu Yu's proposal!
"Why?" Gu Yu was a little puzzled.
"I don't want people to know where we are. Now is not the time! ”
The emperor smiled at Gu Yu and said, "Child, you are still young, and you still have to learn a lot of things!" ”
"Yes!" Gu Yu seemed to understand what the emperor meant in his heart.
However, nothing can compare to the emperor's illness, Gu Yu has only one thought in his heart, curing the emperor can make the Wen family avenge their grievances.
The queen was convicted of misconduct, and all the people around her were controlled by the prince. Qiu Xi wanted to go to Lin Guogong and Lin Sanren for help, but was beaten back by the Praetorian Guard.
The crown prince was officially in charge of the country, and Lin Guogong was dissatisfied in his heart, so he directly went to court because of his illness. Even with a few old ministers all of them to get sick, this is deliberately embarrassing the prince!
It's just that they didn't expect that the prince, who would only drink flower wine in Su Ri, would actually ignore a few of their old ministers, and even sent someone to send a message that if they were not in good health, they would recuperate and take a month off directly!
As for the work they were originally responsible for, part of it was given to the third prince, and part of it was given to Xiao Shen and several other princes' right-hand men.
At this time, those old ministers couldn't sit still, and they came to discuss with the national prince.
"Grandpa Guo, this prince has always been a gentleman, how can he supervise the country? This major event in the DPRK and China is without you, so how can it be done? Either you will take us with you and ...... tomorrow."
"What are you anxious about?" Guogong said lightly: "You also know that the prince has always been cunning, how can this national major matter be handled by someone like him and the third prince who has never done it before?" Wait, in a few days, he will come to the door for help! ”
"Then what if the prince really doesn't care about us?" An old minister panicked in his heart, and said a word very unconfidently.
"Impossible! Just him? Also trying to supervise the country? Lin Guogong slapped the table and said angrily: "This is just the beginning, what are you anxious about?" Wait patiently, you'll know in a few days! ”
"Yes!" Those old ministers saw that Lin Guogong was angry, so they had to retire!
Lin Sanren walked out of the room, obviously he had heard the words of the old ministers just now.
"What do you think?" Lin Guogong asked.
"The prince used to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and he deceived everyone. However, no matter how calculating he is, it is in vain that he does not have military power in his hands! Lin Sanren said gloomily: "Guogong, although the Praetorian Guards in this palace have been taken down by the crown prince. However, the person who is really in charge of 150,000 soldiers and horses is Lei Hongwei, the general who protects the country. I have heard that he has only one daughter under his knees, and now he is twenty-eight years old, and if the prince marries his daughter, it will be dangerous! ”
"Lei Hongwei is a very upright person and is loyal to the emperor. It's too hard to subdue him! Lin Guogong shook his head and said: "Now General Du, who guards the western frontier, is my person, but he has been guarding all the year round, and it will take some time to rush back to the capital." As for this thunder magnificent......"
"If it doesn't work for you, then don't!" Lin Sanren laughed wickedly, "You don't have to win him over, Lei Hongwei has a neutral attitude and only listens to the emperor's orders." Lei Hongwei can not be used by you, but Lao Dao has a way to make him hate the prince. As long as he is hostile to the crown prince, even if he doesn't help you, it will be good for you! ”
Lin Guogong was puzzled and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"If the prince wants to win over Lei Hongwei, the best way is to marry Miss Lei. As long as this Miss Lei is gone, the marriage will naturally be in vain! ”
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" Lin Guogong understood what he meant, and immediately handed over the matter to Lin Sanren!
After Lin Sanren immediately became a prince, he was very happy in his heart, and everything was under his control!
The days flew by, and it was already winter and the first snow fell! Butterfly Memories has not returned from traveling in the Six Kingdoms, and the hidden guard Azhuo has disappeared for a long time and has never appeared.
The crown prince has been in charge of the country for more than two months, and Concubine Xiao Guifei has already been ungrounded, and now the harem is under the control of Concubine Xiao.
Lin Guogong obeyed the prince on the surface, but in private he has been courting the ministers, and the struggle with the prince has escalated from a secret fight to an open fight!
The emperor's condition has stabilized under Gu Yu's treatment, but he has been hiding it from everyone. And Gu Yu's own injuries are almost healed.
Everything in the capital seems to be calm, but I don't know that the lake has no waves on the surface, and the waves are already raging in the dark.
On this day, take the lime out to look for plum blossoms. But he didn't want to just go out, so Yuan Lang greeted him.
"Girl, are you going out?" Yuan Lang asked.
"Yes, I'm going to pick some plum blossoms. What are you doing here? Gu Yu saw that Yuan Lang was in a hurry, as if there was something!
"Something happened last night!" Yuan Lang glanced around, "Girl, let's go back to the house!" ”
Gu Yu nodded and took Yuan Lang into the house!
"What's wrong? Look at the solemnity of your face! ”
"Three women disappeared last night, all of whom are daughters of important ministers in the court, and one of them is the only daughter of Lei Hongwei, the general of the protector of the country, Lei Jiani."
"Regini?" Gu Yu remembered that he had met Lei Jiani a few times before, all at banquets in the palace, and he had invited Lei Jiani when the Wen Mansion held a banquet, and he had a general relationship with her. Because, Lei Jiani's personality is outgoing, and she is like a man. At that time, she was the future crown princess, and her words and deeds were dignified, so she got along with the extroverted Lei Jiani.
"Yes, the prince is not worried about the girl's safety, so he specially asked his subordinates to protect the girl!"
"What do you do to protect me? I'm not a daughter! Gu Yu said this, and he was still a little moved in his heart, this Nangong Yu didn't know what he was busy with recently, and he hadn't come to the embroidery workshop for a long time.
"The prince said that this matter is afraid that it is related to Lin Sanren, so I am worried that he will attack the girl!"
When Gu Yu heard Yuan Lang say this, he was really a little suspicious in his heart. In the capital, who can kidnap three young ladies overnight, I am afraid that only Lin Sanren, the demon Dao, has this ability.
"Does the prince already know about this?" Gu Yu asked.
"I guess I already know." Yuan Lang frowned and said: "Lin Sanren, the demon Tao, has opened an altar in the capital in the past two months, attracting a large number of pious people to worship. It looks like it's going to be a school of its own. ”
He opened the altar to discuss, and the common people blindly followed the trend and worshipped. But there was nothing wrong with the Taoism he said, and the prince couldn't arrest him. What's more, he has long hooked up with Guogong. I am afraid that this so-called opening of the altar is deliberately entangled with the masses. ”
"If the girl's disappearance case is really related to him, you can take the opportunity to eradicate him!"
Gu Yu thought carefully, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, we all know that he knows evil arts, but we have to pay attention to evidence in everything." This investigation is the duty of Dali Temple, and I think the prince will give justice to the ministers. We don't have to speculate here! ”
"Yes!" Yuan Lang nodded and said, "The girl just said that she was going to go to the snow to find plums?" ”
"Yes, there is a plum garden in the suburbs, I want to go there to enjoy the plum blossoms, and by the way, I will pick some plum blossom snow water and come back to make incense pills!" Gu Yu glanced at the heavy snow outside and said.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier, so let's wait until it's a little bit younger!" Yuan Lang said.
"That's it!"
The snow fell all day and into the evening. Gu Yu could only stay in the embroidery workshop and make tea around the stove all day.
In the evening, Gu Yu packed up early and went back to the room to rest. But he woke up in the middle of the night, and the winter night was too long.
Gu Yu woke up and didn't feel sleepy, so he simply got up and went to the yard, but saw that the heavy snow had stopped, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the sky and the earth were covered with thick snow. The courtyard was bright in the moonlight.
Gu Yu walked to the courtyard to admire the moon and immersed himself in such a beautiful scenery. But inadvertently, I saw a figure flying over the roof.
Gu Yu chased him out immediately, it was snowy outside, and the black figure was unusually abrupt in the white. And the place he swept over left a line of shallow footprints, which shows that this person's internal strength is strong.
Gu Yu thought of the missing girl, I don't know if it has anything to do with this man in black? didn't hesitate at the moment, and quickly chased after him.
Unexpectedly, after chasing a few streets, the man disappeared at an intersection.
Gu Yu stood at the corner of the street and watched for a while, and the footprints disappeared. There was no trace left, so I had to turn around and go back.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw the man standing not far behind him. He was a night walker dressed in black, wearing a black coat, and the big hat was over his head, so that his face could not be seen!
"Who is Your Excellency?" Gu Yu asked lightly, she had already felt that someone around her was slowly approaching, it seemed that this person had deliberately lured herself here.
