The prince was a little distracted with the teacup, and then the eunuch who was close to him ran in in a hurry, but he didn't speak for a long time, and stood there alone and hesitated for a long time. It wasn't until he asked what had happened that he replied, "Prince, did you hear the good news or the bad news first?" ”

"Okay, hurry up", the prince looked impatient, and continued to look at the teacup, without lifting his eyelids.

"The good news is that the emperor has just sent a holy decree, ordering you to hurry to the imperial mausoleum, and you must arrive tomorrow. And the third prince was also seriously injured and unconscious. ”

"Seriously injured?" The prince pondered for a moment before continuing, "What about the bad news? ”

"The seventh princess is missing, and the emperor is furious." , The little eunuch whispered.

"What? How could the seventh sister disappear, didn't they only let them hurt the third prince, who let them move the seventh sister!", the prince jumped up all of a sudden, and the teacup was thrown to the ground.

"My prince, be quiet, let people hear, but you will suffer." , The little clumsy man saw that the prince listened to it, so he continued, "The prince, when this happened, the slave went to ask them as soon as it happened, and it was not our people who did it." I heard that the letter received by the emperor was signed by nine. ”

"Send the news to the national teacher, see what he has planned, go quickly."

The little fool replied yes and bent down to retreat outside the door, and when he just retreated to the door, the prince said, "Let them look for the seventh sister privately, and tell me immediately after they find it." ”

"Yes"

The entourage was packing their bags, and although the prince was sad, he didn't dare to show it on the surface. After all, how much glory it is to be able to go to worship his ancestors, if he shows the slightest displeasure, it will be over if the emperor knows about it. However, what the prince didn't know was that the palace that was calm on the surface had already been turbulent, and everyone had their own careful thoughts, some were happy and some were worried. Among them, the most sorrowful is Concubine De.

In the Jingyue Palace, Concubine De kept pacing in the hall with an anxious face, and her mouth kept chattering, praying, and waiting.

Finally, the door of the temple was pushed open, and it was Fang'er who walked in. Concubine De immediately walked over in two steps and asked eagerly, "How is it, how is Xi'er?" ”

"Rest assured, the third prince is no longer in danger of life." , Fang'er intimately supported her and comforted.

"That's good, that's good, Xi'er is fine." , Concubine De muttered with relief. Fang'er saw that she was in a good mood, and immediately asked people to pass the meal.

After a while, a few bland and delicious side dishes were served. Fang'er put the porridge in a bowl and handed it to Concubine De, "Niangniang, you have to take care of yourself, so that the third prince will not worry about you, and he will recover soon, you said." ”

Concubine De took the bowl, hesitated, and ate a few spoonfuls in small bites. Fang'er happily picked up vegetables for her, hoping that she could eat a few more bites.

The ancestor worship procession, which has attracted everyone's attention, has already set up camp in the same place. The emperor sat in the tent with an angry face, and the ministers and guards knelt below. Gu Jinsi stood to the side with a serious face, which made the atmosphere even more depressing.

"Who of you knows what these nine mean"

"Your Majesty, could it be the killer organization Jiuquan Pavilion?" , a minister said tentatively.

Before the emperor could answer, another minister said, "It won't be Jiuquan Pavilion, they only kill people and never rob people." ”

After being refuted just now, the minister did not show displeasure, but asked suspiciously, "Is it the Nine Shadows Palace?" But they were already responsible for the stability of the Yunze Continent, how could they easily rob our princess? ”

"But what he wrote is on the banks of the Netherworld, and the banks of the Netherworld are just in Youzhou, how can ordinary people go in."

The emperor frowned deeply, and his gaze shifted from these ministers to Gu Jinsi, "Imperial brother, you have a very good relationship with the palace master of the Nine Shadows Palace, so I will trouble you to go for a trip." ”

"It's about Xiao Qi, the younger brother will set off now."

"When the ancestor worship is over, I think the first emperor will want to see you." , the emperor looked very sad when he said this.

"Yes", it was rare for Gu Jinsi to be so quiet.

Everyone stayed anxious all night, and when the prince arrived at noon the next day, the whole team set off for the palace.
