Chang'an City gradually returned to calm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Lawyer Pei and these horse parties were not dealt with by Tang Zhou himself, they are now punished and punished, so the people of Chang'an City are gradually no longer angry with the Assassin Mansion.

Then Wu Xian got compensation, and he wouldn't say much.

There are rumors about the affairs of several princesses, but the trouble comes from the mouth, and not many people dare to discuss this matter in a big way, so the faces of the princesses have been saved, and they have naturally learned to keep a low profile.

In the whole thing, the most profitable should be said to be Wanhualou.

Wanhualou has launched a series of fresh services, although it is not as elegant as poetry and music, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it has the comfort that men yearn for, so Wanhualou suddenly became a place for the powerful and rich people in Chang'an, needless to say to make money, the important thing is that Wanhualou's status in Fireworks Lane has risen all of a sudden.

There are also more legends related to Wanhualou.

Some people say that the scraping and ear picking in Wanhualou are very comfortable, more comfortable than eating the elixir, otherwise how could Lawyer Pei and these horses go to Wanhualou, it's not because these services are too comfortable, they can't help it.

After these legends came out, it naturally made Wanhualou's business better promoted.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and although Tang Zhou is the assassin of Chang'an City, if he is fine, he prefers to stay at home and rest in the shade.

Such a day is not bad, in Tang Zhou's opinion, it can be said that he is as free as a fairy.

It's just that when Tang Zhou was living like this, a carrier pigeon suddenly sent a message, Tang Zhou frowned slightly after reading the news, he knew that his happy days were coming to an end.

Everything is normal in Chang'an City, but for the hundred officials of the early dynasty, they obviously found that Li Shimin's expression in the past two days was a little wrong, saying that it was not angry, but it was by no means as gentle as before, and sometimes when the minister was talking about things below, he would suddenly lose his mind.

Everyone speculated whether something happened to Li Shimin, Tang Zhou stood below, but he was unmoved, there was an accident in the palace, he knew very well that Li Shimin didn't say it now, he just didn't want to make a big deal about it, but if there was no result, he had to send someone to be responsible.

There are many things in the palace that are not secrets, so Li Shimin's poor spirit was quickly picked up by some people in the court.

The princess is missing, to be exact, Princess Ankang is gone.

Princess Ankang is Li Shimin's fourteenth daughter, at the beginning of this year, she was given to marry Dugumou, according to the previous discussion, on the day of the seventh beggar festival in July this year, the two will get married.

Now there are only a few months left until July 7, but Princess Ankang has disappeared.

There are many cases about Princess Ankang's disappearance, some people say that she doesn't want to marry Dugumou, so she ran away from marriage, and then some people say that Princess Ankang fell in love with a folk man and wanted to elope with him.

There are various versions, of course, these are also from the ministers of the court and the central government from their eyes in the palace, as for the specific kind, no one can be sure until Princess Ankang is found.

The matter is getting wider and wider, and more and more people know about it, Li Shimin saw that he couldn't hide it, and he was angry and anxious in his heart, his daughter was missing, and she was also named in various versions, which was too embarrassing for the Tang royal family.

But his daughter is gone, and he, as a father, is also in a hurry.

After some thought, Li Shimin recruited Tang Zhou into the palace.

Tang Zhou entered the palace, and Li Shimin said: "Something happened in the palace, you know, right?" ”

Tang Zhou raised his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I heard Lu Guogong and a few of them talk about it, but the specific situation is not very clear. ”

In Li Shimin's place, it's best not to lie too outrageously, this matter has spread among hundreds of officials, if Tang Zhou doesn't know at all, it is too hypocritical.

Li Shimin was very satisfied when he saw Tang Zhou like this, and said: "Princess Ankang is missing, as for why she is leaving, even my father doesn't know, I sent someone to find her secretly, but there is no clue, now it has been many days, I am afraid that something will happen to her, so I can only hand over this matter to you to handle secretly, are you willing?" ”

Worried about Princess Ankang's accident and royal face, Li Shimin obviously attaches more importance to the royal face, otherwise if he tells the world and orders someone to find Princess Ankang, I am afraid that it will not take long to find Princess Ankang.

But in this way, the princess is missing, and if she elopes with someone, then Datang's face will not be guaranteed, so this matter has to be done in secret.

This matter is a chore, Tang Zhou hesitated after hearing it, but still responded: "Holy Lord, rest assured, the minister will definitely get Princess Ankang back." ”

Li Shimin nodded: "I have always trusted you, as long as you can get Princess Ankang back, you can do it." ”

Tang Zhou received the order and said, "Thank you to the emperor, the minister wants to ask Princess Ankang's maid now, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then ordered someone to lead Tang Zhou to Princess Ankang's bedroom.

Princess Ankang has not yet left the pavilion, so she lives in the palace, a eunuch led Tang Zhou to Princess Ankang's residence, it is a very quiet place, there are many lotus flowers planted in the pond, a few frogs croaking on the lotus leaves, and one or two water birds swimming in the pond.

Because of the disappearance of Princess Ankang, the palace maids here have been punished, so that this place seems lifeless, even if the environment here is very good, no one wants to come here to admire.

After coming to Princess Ankang's residence, Tang Zhou did not go inside, but found a place to sit down at the pavilion and water pavilion on the edge of the pond, and then instructed the eunuch: "Go and call the maid who has the best relationship with Princess Ankang, I have something to ask." ”

Soon after the eunuch received the order, he brought a maid named Xiaolian, Xiaolian was not very old, a little baby fat, and looked very cute, after seeing Tang Zhou, she was a little nervous, and kept her head down and didn't speak.

Tang Zhou glanced at her and asked, "How did Princess Ankang disappear?" ”

Xiaolian was silent for a moment and said: "Three days ago, Princess Ankang said that she wanted to go out of the palace to visit the West Market, and the slave maid was supposed to follow, but she was stopped by Princess Ankang, and Princess Ankang went and did not come back. ”

The princess went out of the palace without a maid, which in itself seemed very strange, Tang Zhou asked again: "Her Royal Highness the princess usually goes out of the palace, do you always follow her?" ”

"Sometimes it follows, sometimes it doesn't."

"Do you know anyone the princess knows outside the palace?"

Xiaolian hesitated and shook her head: "I don't know." ”

Tang Zhou hesitated before seeing Xiaolian answer, and knew that she had something to hide, so his tone suddenly became cold, and said: "Princess Ankang is missing, her life is on the line, if you still want to hide it, if the princess has an accident, do you think you can take it?" ”

Speaking of this, Tang Zhou snorted and said, "If the princess can't be found, the Holy Thunder will be furious, and everyone here will die, including your family, understand?" ”
