readx; Looking at the letterhead, Zhu Youzhen was speechless for a long time, just in a daze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Anna was also a little frightened at this time, and whispered her mistake: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I'm sorry, but I put some potions in your wine glass that can make you sleepy. Catherine rode my horse and left Beijing with the embassy officials. If... If you want to recover her, it's completely too late, because Jingshi is nearly 1,300 miles away from Dengzhou, and she shouldn't have gotten on the ship yet. All you have to do is pass the book with a flying pigeon... I now know how big the mistake I have made, please punish me, Your Majesty! ”

"No need. I don't blame you. Zhu Youzhen finally said with a wry smile, "She is right, Russia is her motherland, what reason do I have to keep her?" In fact, she could have told me the truth directly, and I would do everything I could to help her, not stop her. ”

"No, Your Majesty." Anna's eyes were moist, "Catherine loves you deeply, but because of this, she can't tell you the truth. You have your country and your people, and if there is a conflict with the Russian tsar because of her, it will be a great disaster for both countries... And Catherine left with the utmost determination, and if she was honest with you, she didn't know if she would have the courage to leave..."

"Alas!" Chief Zhu You sighed, "Since she is returning to Europe on your country's merchant ship, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to write a letter to His Excellency Joao, and she must take more care of her during the journey." Please also help me with a word, this world is not big, and he may have a chance to meet again one day. I want her to take care of her body and be careful... Hey, forget it, let's not talk..."

The two fell into a long silence again, except for the sound of fireworks exploding outside the window. Zhu Youzhen suddenly woke up and said, "By the way, I have been asleep all day, what about the others?" Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, there is still a banquet in the palace, tomorrow there is a grand ceremony to change the yuan and a grand ceremony in the suburbs, and there are many important things waiting to be done! Why didn't anyone wake me up? ”

Anna hurriedly smiled and said: "It's strange to say, I only secretly put a drowsiness potion in the wine glass of His Majesty the Emperor, but maybe the others were too happy yesterday, and they didn't know that although the wine was sweet in the mouth, it would be drunk if it was too much, and they drank a lot of wine." Except for the Empress, everyone else is drunk, and like Your Majesty the Emperor, you haven't woken up yet. ”

"Huh?!" Zhu Youzhen was taken aback and said, "Are you drunk?" And what about the Queen? ”

"The empress has already returned to the palace first because she wants to arrange a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet." Anna said, "Before leaving, she specially told me that His Majesty the Emperor is very tired and has a hard night's sleep, so I must not disturb you." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, and hurriedly rushed out of the room to check on the other people's conditions. Sure enough, I saw that Bao Yulian, Qi Meifeng, Zhu Cunqi, Chen Yuanyuan, Red Lady and all the other women who participated in the banquet were all asleep, their faces were ruddy, their breathing was smooth, and their expressions were natural, but they couldn't wake up for a while.

Zhu You was greatly panicked when he boarded up, and urgently ordered someone to pass on the imperial doctor. He knew very well in his heart that it was still possible for others to wake up with a hangover, Qi Meifeng and the Red Lady were strong in martial arts, even if they were drunk, they would not fall asleep for so long. Looking at the appearance of the women, it looks like a symptom after taking sweat medicine.

What surprised him the most was why Rui'er left everyone and left by herself? That's not her style. Can't wait for the imperial doctor to come, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly called Yan Ling, the commander of the Imperial City Guard Regiment who had been guarding outside the embassy, in and asked, "Has the queen returned to the palace by herself?" ”

"Back to the Holy Place, exactly." Yan Ling replied inexplicably, "Because the Holy Lord and all the ladies are sleeping here, the Queen Mother specially told the ministers to protect the Holy Lord every step of the way..."

"I didn't ask you this!" Zhu Youzhen interrupted Yan Ling impatiently, "The queen left by herself?" ”

"The minister sent four good men to escort the queen back to the palace." Yan Ling also suddenly hesitated when he said this, "They came back last night to repeat their lives, and the queen has already entered the imperial city from Chengtianmen. ”

"Call these four!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said.

These people came, but they didn't salute Zhu Youzhen, and only stared at him with straight eyes. Yan Ling was furious, jumped over and slapped each other: "Bold! Seeing the Holy Lord, you still don't salute, what's the matter with the few of you, why since last night until now, it seems that you have lost your soul! ”

Zhu Youzhen was even more nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What about the queen?" ”

The four of them seemed to have been suddenly woken up by Yan Ling, and they quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live Hui, the ministers have escorted the queen from Chengtianmen into the imperial city..."

However, Zhu Youzhen saw the abnormal appearance of these people, and became even more suspicious in his heart, and immediately sent Yan Ling to the four gates of the imperial city and the palace to inquire. After about half a moment, Yan Ling rushed back in an extremely rare way, covered with cold sweat, and said breathlessly: "Holy Lord, the minister asked the guards of the four gates of the imperial city, and they all said that Feng Jia did not return to the palace; Kunning Palace can't find the queen mother! ”

Zhu Youzhen "buzzed" in his head, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly kicked Yan Ling down in anger, and scolded: "Bastard! What the are you eating! ”

Yan Ling knew that he was at a loss, so he got up from the ground in pain, and said tremblingly: "The minister will go to the queen mother immediately!" ”

"It's been a whole day, and the twelve gates of the outer city are open all day, where the are you going to find them?" Zhu Youzhen was really anxious, and blurted out foul language, which scared Anna on the side to kneel.

"It must be these things that eat inside and outside the house that colluded with the gangsters and kidnapped the queen!" Yan Ling panicked and said angrily, "Come on, arrest these people, I will interrogate them personally..."

"Commander, we have been wronged!" The men were instantly restrained, and they were all dumbfounded, arguing to themselves, "We... We did escort the queen to Chengtianmen, and watched Feng drive into the palace! Before leaving, the queen also called us to the sedan chair one by one and gave us a few words. This... How could this go wrong? ”

"What did the queen tell you?" Zhu Youzhen asked sharply.

"Tell us... yes, what did you tell us? These people looked at Zhu Youzhen blankly, and they couldn't answer for a long time.

"Nonsense! Look at me..."Yan Ling was about to start scolding, but Zhu Youzhen suddenly calmed down and said, "I don't think they are lying. If they are really accomplices of the gangsters, why do they have to come back after the kidnapping of the queen? ”

"But the queen mother, she..."

"Don't talk yet!" Zhu Youzhen suddenly slapped his forehead and interrupted Yan Ling rudely, "I ask you, has the queen been in the palace during the time I am not in Jingshi?" ”

"Uh...," Yan Ling muttered, "The Queen Mother has only been to Xiaoyao Bo Mansion a few times..."

"Let's go!" Zhu Youzhen immediately shouted, "Go to Xiaoyao Mansion!" ”
