Not long after, Tianyuguo ushered in the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, Mo Qian asked him to make moon cakes and send them to the palace early, but in order to meet the beauty, he refused to enter the palace to accompany me for the festival.

I had dinner with my father, and it was not yet time. But my father's spirit didn't seem to be very good, and I couldn't rely on him anymore, so I left my father's palace alone and walked towards the East Palace.

After the death of Mr. Xu, I reduced the personnel of the East Palace, and now, in addition to my palace, there are also the courtyard where Zhuang Yuan lives in the East Palace, the courtyard where Ruan Liangyuan lives, and the courtyard where Qin Ruo'an, who can't wait to see a person for a month, and only two little eunuchs are left in the other courtyards to take care of. As soon as night falls, the East Palace is eerily quiet.

"Someone!" I yelled into the air. Immediately, a dark guard wearing a silver mask appeared in front of me. I used to think that my secret guards were the best in the world in martial arts, but since I saw Xiao Ye's secret guards, I realized that my secret guards were not comparable to Xiao Ye's dark guards except for Yun Cheng. Moreover, they only follow orders, and they don't think of what I need like Yun Cheng and automatically appear in front of me at the right time.

Like now, I want to sit on the stone bench in the gazebo, and if Yun Cheng is there, he will stand behind the stone bench and be my backrest.

I pulled the guard behind a stone bench and said to him, "Stand still. Then he sat down on the stool, and before he could lean on it, the man fell to his knees and waited for me to fall.

"Let's go down!" I sighed. I shouldn't have asked everyone to be as caring as Yun Cheng, the Secret Guards have already sold their lives to me, and it would be too much for me to ask them to give me their hearts too.

But I still often forget that Yun Cheng has left the palace, just like just now, I was tired of sitting and unconsciously leaned back, but when I realized that Yun Cheng was not here at all, my body was leaning on it, and I looked up, it was actually the champion. I leaned comfortably on him and asked, "How did you get here?" ”

"I think Your Highness should also come back from Your Majesty, so I'll wait for you here." He smiled purely, and the moonlight cast a mysterious light on his gentle face, which made me feel dazzling and inrecent.

I remember when I was a child, the school would add night classes, and my mother would always wait for me at the mouth of the alley, and in order to save electricity, she would turn off the flashlight. It wasn't until I showed up that she turned on the not-so-bright flashlight, took my hand, and went home together. So, I've never been afraid of the dark, because I feel that before the darkest part of the road arrives, my mom will help me light the way ahead and be by my side so that I don't feel alone.

"It's good to have you!" Show up when I need company the most, give me lean, give me peace of mind.

"Your Highness is happy more than anything else."

After mid-autumn, the autumn harvest began, and I took the champion out of the palace for a private visit, and saw that every household was full of granaries, and there was polished rice and white flour on the dinner table. I was happy in my heart. I rode my horse for dozens of miles, and when I arrived at the border of Chize County, in the only small restaurant in a remote village, I ordered a few small dishes with Zhuang Yuanxun, and then chatted with the proprietress of the restaurant.

“…… If it weren't for the bastard prince in the palace, this kind of good life, we would have lived a ...... in the first few years" "Eldest sister, hasn't this prince already reformed himself?" "This prince is my own deity, and being called a bastard by others will inevitably be bad in my heart.

"Rehabilitation?" The woman snorted vigorously with her nose, "It's changed, I don't like men and I like women instead!" ”

"Eldest sister, are you mistaken, in the past year, the prince has not even chosen a show girl, so he accepted a good lady, this is not too much!" Besides, Ruan Liangyuan put a green hat on me as soon as I entered the East Palace, and I didn't do anything!

"Yes! Obviously there is no one to accept, but secretly, is there still less yellow flower girl who is a scourge? ”

"Behind his back, the prince didn't admit anyone into the palace!" What have I done and what have I not done, can I still not know myself? These country women just love to chew the root of their tongues, saying that I am a scourge to the girl, and I want to do it, but do I have the ability?

"If he is a person behind his back, it will be forgotten, at least he will be accepted into the palace and wear gold and silver for the rest of his life, eat and drink spicy food. But the point is......" The woman looked around, lowered her voice and whispered in my ear: "He spoiled the good yellow flower girl of the family, and sent it back!" ”

"Ahem! cough cough ...... "I almost choked myself to death with a mouthful of water, and Zhuangyuan Hao hurriedly took a silk handkerchief to help me wipe away the tears choked out of the violent cough."

Glancing at "The sister is really a blessing, the husband is not only handsome, but also so distressed." The woman sighed, glanced at the strong black man who was killing chickens in the open hood, and shook her head like a rattle: "What like my man, stupid as a bear." Fortunately, she only has a hairpin on her head, if she shakes a beaded flower like a noble girl in the city, she will shake it, and she will not be able to fall down with a "bang".

"Eldest sister, don't say that, eldest brother is honest! Being able to work again, the eldest sister is a good blessing. Seeing that the woman's face was a little better, I continued the topic just now, "Eldest sister, you said that the prince would send the girl back after ruining it, this is impossible!" No matter what, it is impossible for the royal family to not even be able to raise a few women, as for sending them back? "Even if it's really ruined, the royal disposal method should be to break into the cold palace, or simply cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how can there be a reason to release it and make it known to everyone?

"But it's true!" The woman blinked her thief's little eyes, shook her head and wanted her whole body to shake, and then said: "The daughter of the Qian carpenter's family in Qianjiazhuang was captured into the palace by the prince's men, and she was sent back after more than half a year......

"Eldest sister, who are you listening to about this?"

"Everyone knows this!" The woman said with a look of pity: "The daughter of the Qian carpenter's family, but the most iconic girl in our ten miles and eight towns, the one who asks for marriage, is about to break the threshold of her house." In the end, the carpenter promised his daughter to the eldest son of the rich man in the neighboring village. Who knew that on the first night of the door, the daughter of the Qian family disappeared inexplicably. I can't find it, and this family affair is yellow. But after half a year, the daughter of the Qian family was sent back by beating gongs and drums. The people who sent her back claimed to be some big official in the palace, and this incident also alarmed the county magistrate. In the end, the county magistrate nodded and offered filial piety like a grandson, and sent the group back respectfully. ”

"Then did they say why they sent this girl back?"

"Say it!" The woman craned her neck and said in the tone of the eunuch in the palace: "Ahem! Ahem! This noble man is a person from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so you can serve well! ”

"That's all?" How could the prince's people be sent out of the palace, this group of people is so fake, and only these uninformed country women are willing to believe it.

"That's all!" The woman seemed to think of something again, and patted her head and said, "Oh, I remember, they also left a lot of good things for the Qian carpenter's house." Let the Qian family take good care of the nobles. When the prince wants to see the nobleman one day, he will take it back! Girl, you say this, is it like words? ”

"It's not like that!" I asked again: "After the rich lady came back, are there often girls who disappear inexplicably in these ten miles and eight towns?" ”

"The girl can say, the first few days after the rich nobleman came back, the village began to lose girls, and also lost those handsome yellow flower girls, those people couldn't find anyone, so they scraped together some money and went to the county seat to report to the official. At first, the county magistrate ignored them. Later, Miss Qian came back, and the county lord told the truth, this is the secret decree of the prince. The lost girls were all sent to the palace to enjoy happiness. If these girls are pregnant with the emperor's heir in the future, they will be named Niangniang, and the whole family will be a big official. Only unblessed nobles like the Qian family were sent out of the palace......"

"When was the Qian nobleman captured by the prince into the palace, and when was he sent back? How are the rich and noble people doing now? ”

"This money was lost by the nobleman the winter before last, and came back at the harvest last fall. In the days when I first came back, I also saw that the sky was wearing gold and silver, but within a few days, the family was robbed and stole all the gold, silver and jewelry brought out of the palace by the rich and noble. There is no one in the palace to take the money nobles back, and now, this money nobles wash their faces with tears all day long, looking forward to the people coming to the palace, and it is pitiful to look at! ”

I snorted coldly in my heart, she deserved it. Obviously, she colluded with the traffickers, in the name of the prince, to let the traffickers unscrupulously rob the girl, and made the families of these women who lost their daughters give up the search.

and the county magistrate, who should also be an accomplice of the traffickers. Seeing that the people who lost their daughters had already made a big fuss, they thought of such a shady means of marrying the prince, and let Miss Qian go home to do this lie. He personally came to honor these so-called "palace officials" to make everyone convinced of this matter.

I can't guess why the girl disappeared, but I already know how she came back, it is nothing more than accepting the benefits of human traffickers, and preaching everywhere that she was taken into the palace by the prince. It's good to deceive those who lost their daughters, and they don't dare to make trouble anymore.

As for the thieves in her family, perhaps it was the traffickers who thought that the matter of the prince and the girl going to the palace to enjoy the blessings had been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the villagers, so they stole back the gold, silver and jewelry that she had brought to show off. Those who lost their daughters didn't make a big deal because they believed the nonsense of the rich nobles, and if she admitted that she lied, those who lost their daughters would definitely not be able to spare her. Therefore, she could only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. Death can't even be spoken.

"Eldest sister, where is the Qian carpenter's house, I want to go and see the Qian noble, and admire the demeanor of the nobleman in her palace." Hum! I'm here to see what happens to the villain who has harmed people. Let's see if we can find some clues about the traffickers.

"Follow this road all the way to the west, and it is Qianjiazhuang. There is a big soaphorn tree at the easternmost gate is the money carpenter's house. ”

I secretly wrote it down, and then asked, "In addition to Qian Guiren, have there been other girls who have been sent?" ”

"It's gone!" The woman said: "In the first few days, the families who lost their daughters were all happy, and they all felt that their daughters were amazing, and when they were sealed, their families followed the chickens and dogs to heaven." Even if they are sent back, the family will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life. But later, there was no news of the girl, and she was not sent back, and they were all wilted like frosted eggplants! They all scolded the prince for not being a thing......"
