20 scumbag Chen Wang
Palace.
The Mingde Hall of the Prince's East Palace.
Gu Yongyuan stood outside the gate of the palace, his eyes vigilantly looking at the palace people walking around, but whenever anyone showed the slightest intention of peeping into the main hall, his pair of gloomy eyes that seemed to have been soaked in water for a thousand years immediately flew over like knives.
And the fans around the Mingde Hall are also open at this moment, and the wind blows the cyan tent fluttering, even if the eyesight is good, it is difficult to see the pride inside through the constantly swinging tent.
Prince, Li Xi sat cross-legged, his handsome face was slightly raised, his eyes were on Yan Li, who was close to him, his expression was indifferent and detached, and a gentle smile bloomed between his warm eyebrows.
"After so many years, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to investigate."
Yan Li raised his eyes at Li Xi, who was smiling, and said coldly: "It's your business to check whether it's good or not, I'll only ask about the results." β
Li Xi's warm eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a touch of gloom.
Yan Li didn't look at him, his eyes fell on the night that was gradually darkening outside.
I don't know why, he always has a feeling of restlessness, as if something bad is about to happen. Such a feeling hit his heart, and he suddenly had a feeling of fidgeting and wanting to leave early.
Li Xi was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Cooperation should always have an attitude of cooperation, I have shown sincerity before, shouldn't you also show some sincerity now?" β
Yan Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xi, as if asking him what it means to be sincere.
Li Xi looked at Shang Yanli's eyes and asked word by word, "Who are you?" β
"Didn't you already know?" Yan Li looked at Li Xi with an idiot-like gaze, pursed the corners of his lips, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving, if there is any news, you can send someone to the Yongning County Lord's Mansion to report a message." β
"Wait!" Seeing Yan Li leaving, Li Xi stood up, hurriedly followed suit, and asked urgently, "Is that the Tenth Emperor Uncle or the Twelfth Emperor Uncle?" β
Yan Li looked back at Li Xi, who looked puzzled, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Ten or eleven, is this important?" β
Li Xi opened his mouth.
Facing Li Xi's stunned expression, Yan Li hooked the corners of his lips and said coldly: "It doesn't matter to you who I am, you just need to remember that I have no interest in the throne." β
"Why?" Li Xi looked up at Yan Li.
Yan Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xi with a worried face, "What, why?" β
"Why did you choose to work with me instead of the second emperor?"
Yan Li didn't think about it and said: "Because you are from the Middle Palace, and there is ......" Yan Li glanced up and down at Li Xi, and said indifferently: "Because you didn't have the idea of beating her!" β
What does that mean? She? Who is she!
Just as he was about to ask again, Yan Li had already turned around and entered the tunnel, leaving quietly as he came.
Li Xi hurriedly rushed forward, but just when he was still one step away, the tunnels "squeaked" and connected together, so that people couldn't see any clues. He looked at the bright blue brick floor under his feet in a daze, and thought of Yan Li's sentence in his mind, "Because you are the concubine of the middle palace, because you didn't have the idea of beating her!" Another sentence came to mind in his mind, "If there is any news, you send someone to the Yongning County Lord's Mansion to report the news." β
She refers to the county lord of Yongning?!
Li Xi's face suddenly showed a sudden look, but then, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes.
The reason why I chose him to cooperate is that I am afraid that it is not entirely because he is a concubine of the Middle Palace! I'm afraid that the more reason is that he has shown Rong Jin courtesy from beginning to end, right? Li Xi felt a secret joy in his heart, glad that he didn't do anything disqualified, otherwise......
"Your Highness."
Gu Yong's voice sounded outside the door.
Li Xi sighed, raised his voice slightly, and said, "Come in." β
After a while, Gu Yong walked in in small steps.
Gu Yong's eyes wandered around the room for the first time, and when he saw that Li Xi was the only one left in the hall, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Your Highness, what about people?" β
"Gone." Li Xi said softly.
"Gone?" Gu Yong's face was shocked, and he couldn't help asking: "The slave has been guarding outside, and there is no ......" The words stopped abruptly, Gu Yong's miserable white face without a little femininity had a touch of sadness, he looked at Li Xi, and said softly: "Your Highness, this is not a way, what is this place?" This is the inner courtyard of the palace, how can people feel like they are entering their own vegetable garden, and they will come, and they will leave? β
Li Xi glanced at Gu Yong, who was frowning, lightly, sneered, and asked softly, "Otherwise, what good way can you block his way?" β
"Your Royal Highness can present the emperor's ......"
Gu Yong's words were stopped by Li Xi's cold gaze.
A few days ago, the emperor asked Gonggong Feng to search for all the old husbands who were left behind in the previous dynasty, just to ask about the authentic things of this palace, but several people died, but they didn't ask a word.
The emperor then transferred a group of highly skilled craftsmen back from the side of the emperor's mausoleum, and searched the palace one by one, but there was still no result!
Gu Yong knew that he had lost his words, so he lowered his eyes and smiled at Li Xi.
"Your Highness forgives your sins, the slave is confused."
Li Xi waved his hand and signaled, he didn't take it to heart, and asked softly: "You came to the palace, but there is something?" β
When Yan left, Li Xi instructed Gu Yong, and no one could come without his orders. But when it was right, Gu Yong didn't get his orders, so he shouted at him, thinking that there must be something urgent.
Gu Yong seemed to remember his purpose at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Your Highness, Lord Chen has entered the palace. β
"What's all the fuss about Uncle Six Emperors entering the palace." Yan Li glanced at Gu Yong unhappily and said, "Xu Yes, I want my father to order the state capitals to help find Rongyue." β
Gu Yong shook his head and said softly: "But there is also Runan Hou who entered the palace with Prince Chen. β
The casual look on Li Xi's face disappeared, replaced by a touch of suspicion, and he looked back at Gu Yong, "The palace where Runan waited to enter with the Sixth Emperor Uncle?" β
Gu Yong nodded, "Back to Your Highness, yes." Moreover, the emperor also sent out all the people in the imperial study, leaving only the prince and Runan Hou to talk! β
Li Xi knew that in the early years, because of Rong Fanghua's affairs, Runan Hou didn't move around much with the Sixth Emperor Uncle, but at this time, the two suddenly entered the palace together, and the father sent all the people around him away...... Li Xi couldn't help but think that when he told Emperor Yongchang about the jade seal, he also asked Emperor Yongchang to send everyone out like this.
Then what did Runan Hou and the Sixth Emperor Uncle say to their father when they entered the palace?
"Let our people keep an eye on the spot, be careful not to be discovered, and if we really can't find out, forget it." Li Xi said.
"Yes, the minion will go."
Gu Yong hurriedly retreated.
Li Xi looked up at the glazed tiles that were bright red by the blood-like remnant sun, and a smile of unknown meaning bloomed between his frowning eyebrows. One day, one day, he will become the master of this deep palace, and he will no longer have to be so anxious and uneasy. He wants everyone to surrender to his feet!
After a short time, Gu Yong went and returned.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor ordered the dragon to guard the palace gate, and no one approached within three zhang." Gu Yong said softly.
Li Xi's already frowning brows became more and more frowning so much that he could trap a mosquito.
But he also knew that this matter was unforgiving, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go back to the palace and go to the queen mother to see if you can find something." β
Gu Yong's face showed a look of deep understanding.
"Father-in-law Gu, there is something here in the palace that needs you to do."
"Your Highness, please command, the slave will never give up."
"It's not as strict as you said," Li Xi waved his hand, and while walking out, he whispered to Gu Yong: "You go and check, thirteen years ago, during the celebration of the father's stool, the Chongming Palace received foreign envoys, who were the palace people, and now, where are those palace people on errands!" β
Gu Yong suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Li Xi looked at him.
Gu Yong frowned, and said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, where did the minions find out about the incident thirteen years ago?" β
"Where to start, and do you want this palace to teach you?" Li Xi asked angrily.
Gu Yong shrank his head, leaned slightly, and still asked, "Your Highness, why do you want to investigate this matter in a good manner?" β
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Li Xi's lips.
After a long time, he said softly: "If you really don't know where to start, just ask Father-in-law Bao beside the queen mother, Father-in-law Bao is an old man in the palace, and there are some things, he should still have a little imprint." β
It's just that the words fell, and without waiting for Gu Yong to speak, he said again: "Forget it, let's go to the mother's harem, it just so happens that the palace also wants to know the purpose of the Sixth Emperor Uncle entering the palace." β
"Yes, Your Highness."
Gu Yong cautiously followed Li Xi and walked out, and the master and servant walked all the way in the direction of Fengyi Palace.
β¦β¦
The Imperial Study.
After listening to Runanhou's words, Emperor Yongchang did not speak for a long time.
Ru Nanhou couldn't help but look at Li Yichen.
Li Yichen was silent, and after thinking about it, he raised his head and looked at the indisputable and angry Emperor Yongchang, "Brother Huang, first the Great Prince of Northern Qi quietly entered the country, and now it is the Northern Qi War King who secretly entered the country, these two people are all related to the Lord of Yongning without exception, is it ......?"
Emperor Yongchang raised his hand to stop Li Yichen's words, his treacherous eyes looked at Runan Hou, paused, and asked, "Tan Aiqing, what do you think?" β
Runan Hou Tan Hongye was suddenly questioned by Emperor Yongchang, and after being stunned, he couldn't help but say: "Back to the emperor, the minister is stupid, and he can't guess the relationship during this period, but it's ......."
"But what?" Emperor Yongchang leaned back slightly, and looked at Runan Hou, "Tan Aiqing has something to say, I forgive you for your innocence." β
"Minister, thank the emperor for his grace." Tan Hongye bowed his hand, and after a little hesitation, he said softly: "The minister has heard that the county lord of Yongning has recruited a husband from the outside world, and with the appearance of the county lord of Yongning, the minister thinks, will this prince of Northern Qi come for this son-in-law?" β
Emperor Yongchang nodded and asked softly, "Then Tan Aiqing, why did the war king Han Cheng come?" β
Tan Hongye shook his head.
He really didn't know that.
Emperor Yongchang pulled the corners of his mouth and said to Tan Hongye: "Tan Aiqing, you should step back first, and I will say a few words to King Chen." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Tan Hongye bowed and retreated.
After Tan Hongye retreated, Emperor Yongchang stood up and said to Li Yichen: "Sixth Emperor Brother, you can accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk." β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Yichen stepped sideways, and when Emperor Yongchang stood up from the dragon seat, he got up and followed.
Feng Shou, who was waiting outside the door, saw Emperor Yongchang walk out, and hurriedly stepped forward to wait. Emperor Yongchang waved his hand, and Feng Shou's steps stopped.
"Si Yu will take your people to the Imperial Garden with me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Si Yu, who was in charge of guarding at the door, got the order of Emperor Yongchang, and made a gesture to Long Wei in the dark, and soon saw the figure flashing, and disappeared behind Emperor Yongchang and Li Yichen who had already strode away like a gust of wind.
"Sixth, what do you think about Han Cheng's entry into Beijing?"
Li Yichen was walking forward, and when Emperor Yongchang's words rang in his ears, he subconsciously paused, looked up at Emperor Yongchang, and said softly: "Brother Chen can't figure it out." β
Emperor Yongchang glanced at Li Yichen with a meaningful gaze, and at the end, he picked up his feet and continued to walk forward.
Li Yichen took two steps and asked softly, "Brother Huang, what do you think?" β
Emperor Yongchang glanced at Li Yichen beside him and asked, "Sixth, do you remember that Lao Chang Xinghou pointed out that Rong Jinli was a foreign country?" β
"Yes." Li Yichen looked at Emperor Yongchang in confusion, "What does the imperial brother mean?" β
Emperor Yongchang tugged at the corners of his mouth, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the Chonghua Hall with the corners of the eaves exposed in the distance, and said, "Sixth, I have a bold conjecture. β
Li Yichen's heart was pounding involuntarily, and he subconsciously looked at Emperor Yongchang and asked, "What conjecture?" β
"The person who stained Rong Fanghua back then, could it be Han Cheng, the king of the Northern Qi War?"
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Li Yichen couldn't come back to his senses with half a sound.
"Emperor, Imperial Brother......" Li Yichen first turned pale, his lips trembled like a sieve, and his eyes looked straight at Emperor Yongchang, "This, how is this possible?" β
The corners of Emperor Yongchang's lips curled up with a almost invisible arc, and he asked softly, "Why is it impossible?" β
Li Yichen shook his head.
He didn't know why it couldn't be, but he just thought how was it possible?
Han Cheng, the king of the Northern Qi War?
No, it can't be, it must be a mistake.
Emperor Yongchang shook his head at Li Yichen's ghost-white face, and said softly: "Then you tell me that Han Cheng's people have frequently entered Dongxia for so many years, who is he looking for?" You tell me again, why did Yan Yi, the prince of Northern Qi, marry Rong Jin, whose mother died and his father was unknown? Why did Han Cheng see Rong Jin when he first entered Dongxia? β
Li Yichen looked at Emperor Yongchang in a daze.
These were not questions he could answer.
However, if that person is Han Cheng...... Li Yichen suddenly remembered that the inner courtyard of the palace dug three feet into the ground and did not find the person who stained the face! remembered the scene when Rong Jingde pointed out that the maidservant girl next to Rong Jin was a spy from the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The whiteness of the face slowly faded, replaced by a purple like the color of pork liver!
Rong Fanghua is a slut, she lied to him!
She must know that person is Han Cheng, no, maybe the two of them have already secretly agreed to the song, slut, slut...... Li Yichen pursed his lips and stared straight ahead with red eyes. There is also Rong Jin's little mongrel, who actually believed in this little mongrelrel, so that now he has no family, and Rongyue's life and death are unknown...... He was like a fool, and he was played around by them.
"Ahh Li Yichen suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out an extremely angry shout, "Rong Jin, I'm going to kill you!" β
After the words fell, he turned around and rushed forward.
"Sixth!"
Where did Emperor Yongchang think that after so many years, it would cause such a big reaction to Li Yichen. immediately shouted, but unfortunately, it was just a breath of effort, and Li Yichen was already three feet away.
"Si Yu, don't stop King Chen soon!" Emperor Yongchang shouted angrily.
"Yes, lord."
Si Yu chased after Li Yichen, who had only a small point left between the ups and downs.
Emperor Yongchang flicked his sleeves hatefully, turned around and walked towards the inner palace.
Fengyi Palace.
Empress Lu was talking to Li Xi softly, and Lin Hong, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Niangniang, the emperor is coming this way."
Well?
Empress Lu looked at Lin Hong in confusion and said softly, "Didn't you say that you were going to Concubine Li's to rest today?" How to ......"
Lin Hong shook her head, lowered her voice and said: "The slave maid just got the news, saying that she was originally discussing things with Ru Nanhou and Chen Wangye in the imperial study, and then Runan Hou left first, and the emperor went to the imperial garden with Chen Wangye, I don't know what to say, Chen Wangye ran out of the palace like crazy, and the emperor came to Niangniang." β
When Empress Lu heard this, she couldn't help but look at Li Xi.
Li Xi was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Queen Mother, let's go out to meet the car first." β
Empress Lu nodded, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and was about to stand up, when the voice of the eunuch as sharp as a duck sounded outside, "The emperor has arrived!" β
Empress Lu hurriedly took Li Xi and a group of palace people to greet her, and before she could walk out of the main hall, she saw Emperor Yongchang striding in from outside with a gloomy face.
Li Xi hurriedly strode forward and waved his hands and saluted, "Erchen has seen his father. β
Emperor Yongchang waved his hand, "When did you arrive?" What is the matter with your mother? β
"Qi Qi father, the son heard from the palace people that the queen mother has committed a dream disease again in the past few days, so he came to take a look, and the son has just arrived." Li Xi said.
Emperor Yongchang nodded and said lightly: "Sit down and talk." β
"Thank you, Father." After Li Xi saluted, he sat down with his buttocks on the side of Emperor Yongchang.
"What's going on?" Empress Lu took the hot tea offered by Lin Hong, personally handed it to Emperor Yongchang, and asked softly, "Why is the emperor's face so ugly?" But was he angry with the people of Yushitai again? β
Emperor Yongchang waved his hand, took the tea handed by Queen Lu, opened the lid of the tea before drinking, as if he thought of something "pop", and threw the whole tea cup on the table.
Empress Lu and Li Xi trembled at the same time, looking at Emperor Yongchang in panic.
"The sixth child is a waste, I'm so angry!" Emperor Yongchang said hatefully.
Hearing that it was related to King Chen, Empress Lu and Li Xi quickly exchanged a look.
Li Xi was silent, got up and hugged his fists and said, "The father thinks that he has something to discuss with the queen mother, and the son will retire first." β
"Sit down, you'll have to know about it sooner or later." Emperor Yongchang waved his hand to Li Xi, and after Li Xi sat down again, Fang looked up at Empress Lu and said angrily: "I asked you to help the sixth child look at a family affair again, how do you look at each other?" β
"Back to the emperor, the concubine already has a few candidates in her heart, and she originally planned to invite the six emperor brothers into the palace one day, discuss with him, and then make a decision......"
"Counsel with him? In addition to a beautiful face in his eyes, who else can he tolerate? You don't have to ask him what he means about this, which house you look at is good, and which one is it! Emperor Yongchang said angrily.
Empress Lu lowered her eyebrows and replied respectfully: "Yes, the concubine turned around and drew up a list, and the emperor has also seen it?" β
Emperor Yongchang nodded, and finally the fire in his heart was extinguished.
Empress Lu gave a look to Lin Hong, who was waiting on one side, and after a while, Lin Hong made a new cup of hot tea and served it, Queen Lu took it in her hand, lifted the tea lid and skimmed off the foam on it, and tested the temperature of the tea cup with her hand and felt that it could be entered, and then it was served to Emperor Yongchang.
Emperor Yongchang didn't drop the teacup this time, but took a shallow sip, and then said softly: "Does the queen still remember that Rong Fanghua lost her virginity in the palace back then?" β
"I remember." Empress Lu nodded and asked softly, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly remember this?" β
Emperor Yongchang's hand holding the teacup stiffened, leaned slightly, sighed, and said softly: "I remember that day, the queen and the queen mother almost dug the palace three feet into the ground, and they never found out if the white man who stained Rong Fanghua was not white? β
Empress Lu nodded.
"That person, I already know who it is!"
Empress Lu and Li Xi raised their heads at the same time, and looked at Emperor Yongchang in dismay.
Emperor Yongchang lowered his eyes and said lightly: "That person should be the war king of Northern Qi, Han Cheng!" β
"Smack".
The teacup in Empress Lu's hand fell to the ground and fell apart.
The next moment, Empress Lu stood up violently, "The concubine is disrespectful, please ask the emperor to condemn her!" β
Emperor Yongchang waved his hand.
Lin Hong, who was waiting on one side, hurriedly stepped forward to wrap his hands with a handkerchief, and picked up the broken porcelain on the ground one by one.
Empress Lu looked at Emperor Yongchang with a puzzled expression, and asked hesitantly, "Why did the emperor say this?" β
Emperor Yongchang sent Han Cheng into Dongxia frequently over the years, and a few days ago, he came to Dongxia secretly, and asked to see Rong Jin's words again, and at the end, he looked up at Li Xi, who was also surprised, but still calmed down, and asked softly: "Xi'er, what do you think about this?" β
"The son agrees with his father's opinion." After thinking about it, Li Xi said softly, "Although Erchen was still young back then, Erchen remembered that the imperial grandmother also raised it at that time, whether it would be a foreign envoy who lived in Chonghua Hall that day." β
When Empress Lu heard this, she nodded and said, "The concubine also remembers that the queen mother did talk about it that day, and she also sent someone to inquire secretly, but it was just ......"
It's just that because the identities of those envoys are more sensitive, and King Chen made a lot of trouble at that time, after those envoys got the news, they were afraid that they would have something to do with themselves, and then they all left the palace as quickly as possible and left Dongxia. The matter was investigated for a month, and finally it ended without a problem!
Empress Lu remembered Emperor Yongchang's anger just now, was silent for a moment, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, the sixth emperor brother ...... him?"
"This idiot, I just told him the beginning, and he ran out of the palace just like back then, shouting that he wanted to kill Rong Jin." Yongchang rubbed his swollen forehead and said tiredly: "After so many years, why are you still so stupid?" No growth at all! β
When Empress Lu heard that Li Yichen broke out of the palace and went to Rongjin Mansion to kill, she couldn't help but lose color and said, "Your Majesty, then look, do you want to send someone to chase the six emperor brothers back?" β
"I, I've already asked Si Yu to chase after me." Yongchang said: "But ......"
However, with Si Yu's ability, it is easy to deal with Li Yichen, but Li Yichen must be the prince, can Si Yu still make the following mistakes?
Li Xi thought for a while, got up, and said, "Father, why don't you take someone to take a look?" β
Emperor Yongchang looked at Li Xi, who was standing in front of him, thought about it, nodded and said, "It's okay, you can go." β
"The retainers retired."
Li Xicai was about to retreat, not wanting to hear the voice of Emperor Yongchang behind him again.
"Xi'er."
Li Xi paused, and turned to look at Emperor Yongchang.
Emperor Yongchang was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Seeing your Sixth Emperor Uncle, if he refuses to listen to persuasion, you sue him, I have my own plans, if he disobeys the order, I ...... I took away the title of King of Tachen and deposed him as a concubine! β
"Yes, Father!"
Li Xi clasped his fists and saluted, then strode out.
At this time, in the main hall, only Empress Lu and Emperor Yongchang were left.
Emperor Yongchang took the teacup at hand, took a sip of tea, and said to Empress Lu: "Kai'er's family, what do you say?" β
A wry smile appeared on Empress Lu's face.
She is the queen of the middle palace, and it stands to reason that all the princes must be arranged by her, but the truth is one thing, but the reality is the same thing.
didn't get a reply from Empress Lu, Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but wrinkle his brows, and looked at Empress Lu lightly, "Why don't you speak?" β
"Your Majesty, Kai'er has a new concubine, do you know?"
Emperor Yongchang listened to Empress Lu's words, couldn't help but sneer, and said coldly: "Kai'er is not young, and there is no serious princess, there are many concubines in the house, do you want to tell me about such a thing?" β
The bitterness between Empress Lu's eyebrows became thicker, she sighed, and said softly: "That concubine is none other than the eldest lady of Qingping Houfu." β
"Ridiculous!" The teacup in Emperor Yongchang's hand "snapped" and rested on the desk, glared at Queen Lu, and said unhappily: "Qingping Hou Wang Su only has Wang Zhen's son, where is the eldest lady?" β
"The concubine didn't know it originally, but later I learned that it was born in the outer room of Qingping Hou, and it was later recorded in the name of Mrs. Qingping Hou." Empress Lu said.
Emperor Yongchang's gloomy eyes suddenly stared at Empress Lu gloomily, "What do you mean by talking to me about this?" β
Empress Lu sighed and said softly: "If it is not recorded in the name of Mrs. Qingping Hou, the concubine will only be regarded as a thing, but since it is recorded in the name of Mrs. Qingping Hou, it is a concubine, and a lady from the Hou Mansion has become the concubine of the prince, this Kai'er's family affair...... The concubine really doesn't know what kind of young lady to tell him to be the main concubine, so ......"
Emperor Yongchang looked at Empress Lu.
Empress Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "In this way, Kai'er's concubine is afraid that she can only look at each other from the Guogong Mansion in Kyoto, but this Guogong Mansion in Kyoto, the concubines inquired carefully, either the age is not suitable, or the appearance is not suitable, the concubine thinks, if you don't discuss with Yuan Guifei, you can ......."
"But what?" Emperor Yongchang asked.
"But Concubine Yuan said, her mother is still there, Kai'er's marriage doesn't need the concubine to be distracted, if the concubine really has that intention, why don't you ask the emperor for Kai'er, can you tell Kai'er the young lady in Lord Qin's mansion to Kai'er." Queen Lu finished speaking in one go, and by the end of her words, a pair of apricot eyes were already faintly tearful.
Emperor Yongchang looked at Empress Lu, who was no longer as beautiful as she used to be, and looked at her aggrieved eyes reddened, but she still stubbornly pursed her lips, refusing to let the tears fall. Suddenly remembered that when he was not the emperor, but just King Kang, he and her first child were found drowned in the pool in the house, and the second son was lying in the cave bleeding from the seven orifices, she was also so stubborn with her lips, even if the tears were like rain, even if her lips were bitten! But he didn't say a word, and all the heartache and sadness were hidden deep in his heart.
"Hui Yu," Emperor Yongchang held Empress Lu's hand resting on his lap, sighed heavily, and said softly, "It was I who wronged you." β
The tears hidden in Queen Lu's eyes suddenly fell straight down like beads with broken threads.
Those tears all hit Emperor Yongchang's hands, and he patted Empress Lu's hand, "Okay, you don't care about Kai'er's marriage, I have my own arrangements." β
Empress Lu nodded, turned her face slightly, pulled the handkerchief pinned to the placket, gently wiped away the tears on her face, a shallow smile bloomed on her face, and said softly: "It's not early, the emperor hasn't eaten yet, right?" Is it going to be used by Concubine Li, or is it ......"
"Let people set the meal, I will use it a little bit for you, and I will have to approve it when I go back." Emperor Yongchang said.
Empress Lu hurriedly stood up and ordered Lin Hong to set up the meal.
Jingqi Palace.
After listening to Su Zhi's words, Yuan Xuewei couldn't help but say suspiciously: "It's like going crazy, running outside the palace, what's going on?" β
Su Zhi shook her head, "At that time, the emperor was next to Master Si, and our people didn't dare to get too close. β
Yuan Xuewei was about to speak, and suddenly "yawn, yawn" and sneezed a few times.
"Oh, Niang Niang can't be cold, right?" Su Zhi hurriedly took a red brocade cloak, gently draped it on Yuan Xuewei, and asked, "Do you want to invite the imperial doctor to take the pulse?" β
Yuan Xuewei waved her hand, "No need." After a pause, he asked softly, "You said that the emperor went to Fengyi Palace?" Then the prince hurriedly walked out of the Fengyi Palace and went outside the palace? β
Su Zhi nodded.
"You send someone to King Rui's Mansion and tell Kai'er about the affairs in the palace, he knows what to do." Yuan Xuewei said.
"Yes, sissy."
Su Zhi retreated.
β¦β¦
Yan left the palace wall, jumped a few times, and finally stood in an inconspicuous alley outside the imperial city, and saw that the carriage was still waiting quietly at the mouth of the alley. Yan Li looked around, and seeing that no one noticed him in the night, he raised his feet and walked towards the carriage.
Wu Dazheng was holding the pork pancake and eating it, the sound of small steps sounded in his ears, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Yan Li, and hurriedly stuffed the half-eaten pancake to his chest, stood up and greeted Yan Li: "Young Master Yan, you are back." β
Yan Li nodded and said to Wu Da, "Let's go back." β
"Yes, Childe, get in the car."
After Yan left the carriage, the whip in Wu Da's hand "snapped", and the carriage drove out of the alley.
"Wu Da, hurry up the carriage." Yan Li lifted the curtain and said to Wu Da.
Wu Da responded, and the whip in his hand waved again, and the carriage ran faster and faster.
Yan Li was about to put down the car curtain in his hand, leaned back, and saw a familiar figure in the corner of his eye, which was hurriedly coming, and was about to pass by, Yan Li couldn't help but shout softly: "South Building!" β
The rushing South Building, the steps under her feet, only then did she see that it was Wu Da's carriage, she didn't say a word at the moment, and got into the carriage with a vertical body, and said hurriedly to Yan Li, who was looking at her, and said urgently: "Young master, Miss Rong is gone!" β
"What!" Yan left his body and kept going, with a "bang", his forehead hit the frame of the car heavily, but he didn't care, but his eyes were like blades, he looked at the panting South Building, and asked, "What's going on?" β
Nanlou took a breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said, "Young Master, after you and Miss Rong broke up at the gate of the mansion, Miss Rong was picked up by King Duan!" β
"You are dead! Just let her go with him alone? Yan Li's eyebrows sank, and the cold on his body enveloped the people and things around him in an instant.
Even the horses that ran after him snorted and kicked their hooves. Frightened, Wu Da hurriedly used his housekeeping skills, and he appeased and whipped and reprimanded.
Nanlou was reprimanded by Yan Li, and his eyes turned red, and he said aggrievedly: "The slave maid was in the mansion at the time, and King Duan robbed Miss Rong in front of the mansion. β
Yan Li took a deep breath, and he clenched the hand hanging by his side.
Li Huan!
He didn't look for him, he came to the door!
"Where's Linlang?"
"When Linlang went out, the girl had already left with Duanwang, and the little servants said that Duanwang set up a banquet in Taibai Building to invite the girl, and Linlang rushed to Taibai Building, but who knows......"
No need to ask, Yan Li also knows that there is no one in Taibai Building.
"Jin'er is not a reckless person, since she is willing to go with Li Huan, she must have thought that you would chase along the way. Did you look carefully on the way, did you leave any marks or something? Yan Li asked in a deep voice.
"After Linlang went to Taibai Lou and didn't find anyone, he went back to the house, notified me and Long Wei, we searched separately all the way, and found the thyme left by the girl on the road, and we found the Deyue Building with the thyme left by the girl, but ......" Nanlou looked at Yan Li tremblingly.
Yan Xuan sank, and finally knew what was the reason for his restlessness before.
For a while, he only regretted that his intestines were green, he knew that it would be like this, why couldn't he send people into the house and leave?
Li Huan!
Li Huan, what does he want to do?
"Don't worry, you say slowly, how is it after finding Deyue Tower?"
He shouted to Nanlou not to worry, but he couldn't even make a sound.
Nanlou was silent for a while, and said softly: "There is no one in Deyue Tower at all, and then even the thousand miles left by the girl are gone!" β
Yan Li: "......"
The thyme incense made by Rongjin is a special incense, even if this incense is thousands of miles away, but as long as special means are applied, it can be revealed. At that time, when Rong Jin made this incense, he also laughed with him, saying that with this incense, even if they were lost in the vast sea of people in the future, they could find each other with this incense!
I followed the incense and found Deyue Tower, but I didn't see anyone! Not only are the people gone, but even the incense is broken!
Yan Li rubbed his forehead and told him that he couldn't be in a hurry.
Li Huan dared to take people away from the gate of the county lord's mansion openly, so he shouldn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise...... However, what if Li Huan takes a risk?
For a moment, Yan Li only felt that thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, each of which was the scene of Rong Jin being hurt by Li Huan, and when those thoughts came up, he felt as if there was a sharp iron hook in his heart that was hooking his heart fiercely.
"Young master, what now?" Nanlou saw that Yan Li's masked face was hard to distinguish between joy and anger, but a pair of eyes were like the sea level before a storm, dark and treacherous, making people fearful.
"You go to Linlang and tell SΓΉ to divide Fengwei into three, some people are staring at Duanwangfu, some people are staring at the palace, and the other part is going to Tie Paper Hutong to stare!" Yan Li said softly.
The south building answered and was about to leave.
"Wait."
Nanlou looked back at Yan Li.
"After you inform Linlang, go find Chu Weiyi again and ask him to come to see me." Yan Li said.
Nanlou had a bad thought in her heart, she didn't dare to ask, but she couldn't help asking, "Young master, you, what are you going to do?" β
Yan Li's eyes under the silver mask flashed with a killing light, and he said lightly: "Go and spread the word." β
Nanlou was silent for a while, until Yan Li shouted again: "Why don't you go quickly?" β
Subconsciously, Nanlou answered "yes" and was about to leave.
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the sky, followed by a "crackling" sound, and the next moment, countless colorful fireworks bloomed in the distant night sky.
Nanlou involuntarily paused, and said to himself: "Look, fireworks, it's so beautiful!" β
Yan Li was about to scold, but the second "bang" sounded again, and another brilliant firework bloomed, and with this firework blooming, followed by countless fireworks blooming one after another.
"What's going on?" Nanlou said to Yan Li puzzled: "It's not a New Year's Day, why are there so many fireworks?" Look at such a big formation, I'm afraid that this fireworks will come down, and it won't matter if there are thousands of taels of silver, but look, it's not the direction of Kyoto City, it looks like it's ...... away from the Moon Tower."
"You still have the heart to watch the fireworks, why don't you ......go quickly" Yan Li's words suddenly stopped, he shook the curtain in his hand violently, looked up at the fireworks that were gorgeous but greatly reduced in color because of the distance, and asked, "What did you just say?" β
"I said, this fireworks can't do anything without 10 million taels of silver!" Nanlou said.
"It's not." Yan Li said, "What else did you say? β
"I said it's not a ...... for the New Year."
Yan Li shook his head again.
"That's not the direction of Kyoto Castle." Nanlou looked at the fireworks and said, "It looks a little close to Deyue Tower, it seems to be near Deyue Tower!" β
Almost in the South Building, the words fell.
Yan Li is already a vertical body, and the person is like an arrow from the string, sweeping forward, and between a few ups and downs, it is already ten zhang away.
"Young master!"
After Nanlou was startled, he reacted, and also followed his body, chasing Yan Li in front of him, and at the same time released the signal of communication between Fengwei in his hand
