Chapter 50: Stealing Chickens and Rice (1)
Ling Chengsi nodded, gritted his teeth and stood up, who knew that his lower limbs still did not recover his strength, and his body suddenly shook, and he couldn't help but fall forward.
He waved his hands forward, trying to support his body when he fell to the ground, but he didn't expect his palm to touch a soft place, and when he raised his eyes, Ruan Qingge was already standing in front of him at some point, stretching out his arms to support him.
And his hands actually pressed on Ruan Tingge's lower abdomen, the fabric of Ruan Tingge's dress was light and smooth, and Ling Chengsi only felt as if he had touched her skin.
He hurriedly withdrew his hands as if on fire, a look of embarrassment on his face.
Ruan Qinge's face was also slightly red, but he didn't take it to heart, and carefully helped him back to the soft couch, "It doesn't seem to be all right, you can rest again." ”
The other side.
Ling Chengxi, Wen Ziran and the others hurriedly walked towards the palace in the west, and the palace man who had followed Zhong Liyun before was talking to the sixth prince Ling Chengxi with an anxious face at this time, "The slave maid just accompanied the princess to change clothes, and at the turn of the corridor, I heard the princess exclaim, and when I turned around, I found that the princess was gone. ”
Ling Chengxi's face was surprised and annoyed, and his face sank and said, "Why don't you follow the princess closely?" What's going on with the princess, don't ask for your head! ”
The palace man bowed his head in panic and said, "The slave and maid have searched for several places but have not found it, so I really deserve to die." ”
Ling Chengxi instructed a few palace people behind him, "Hurry up and find me, and find the princess after rummaging through this palace for me." ”
Wen Ziran glanced at the palace man lightly and asked, "Since you heard the princess's exclamation, why don't you look carefully for the place where the voice came from?" ”
The palace man lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, and paused slightly before replying, "Back to Gongzi Wen's words, although the slave maid heard the princess's voice, she couldn't hear it when she reacted, and she couldn't tell where it came from. ”
As she spoke, she suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop", "The slave and maid really deserve to die, and ask the six princes to surrender." ”
"It's useless to take your cheap life." Ling Chengxi snorted coldly.
He glanced at the several Nanning officials and ministers who were following him, coughed, and said with a serious expression, "The top priority is to find the princess as soon as possible, and you can take us to the place where the princess first disappeared." ”
The palace man fell to the ground and answered, quickly got up, and continued to lead them forward.
When he walked to the gate of the palace, Wen Ziran seemed to have heard something, his eyes moved slightly, and he glanced around imperceptibly.
When the door opened, everyone froze.
The main hall of this palace is relatively empty, but when you enter the door, you will see a woman lying on the ground.
The woman was dressed in a cyan dress with a veil on her face, and she was in a coma, it was Zhong Lixuan.
Ling Chengxi probably didn't expect this kind of scene, so he was slightly stunned and looked at the palace man.
The palace people sweated on their foreheads, and hurriedly rushed over to help Zhong Lixuan, looked up and looked around, but did not find Ling Chenghe's figure.
Seeing the panicked appearance of the palace people, Ling Chengxi came back to his senses and his face was pale, he glanced at Wen Ziran, and found that Wen Ziran was also a little surprised, a pair of eyes were looking at the corner of the palace, not knowing what he was thinking.
One of the Nanning ministers who followed behind was a member of the Nanning royal family, and asked very angrily at this time, "Sixth prince, why did our thirteen princesses faint here?" ”
"Hurry up and Xuan Taiyi, see how the princess is?" Although Ling Chengxi didn't know what happened to the plan, he had to pretend to be anxious and ordered loudly.
He turned to the minister and said, "Don't worry, this lord, the most important thing now is to see if the princess is in serious trouble, I have announced the imperial doctor, and asked the imperial doctor to come and check the princess quickly." ”
The palace people in the palace were busy lifting Zhong Liyun and placing it on the soft couch, while another group of people rushed out of the hall to find the imperial doctor.
The guards began to search inside and outside the palace.
Suddenly, there was a faint noise in the corner of the palace.
"Who?" One of the guards happened to search for this place, so he held the hilt of his sword and whispered vigilantly, and slowly leaned over.
The guard approached the corner and lifted the curtain with his scabbard, and suddenly a man came out of it, as if he had some unsteady footing, and shook his body in a dazed state.
The guard was shocked, and before he could pull out the sword, he immediately took the scabbard and slashed it, and the man subconsciously blocked it, hitting the guard's scabbard to the side of the wall, making a loud "clang" sound.
The people standing in the hall were suddenly startled by the sound and looked up in that direction.
I saw a figure and a guard fighting in the corner of the palace, and before they could make a few moves, they quickly climbed over the window and disappeared.
There was a panic in the hall, and a Nanning minister trembled and pointed to the place just now, and asked Ling Chengxi, "Why is there such a dangerous person hidden in the Dongyun Palace?" Could it be an assassin? ”
Speaking of the word "assassin", everyone's nerves became more sensitive, and several people were talking about it, setting their eyes on Ling Chengxi.
Ling Chengxi had just recognized that the palace man was his subordinate at a quick glance, and at this time he was worried about whether the palace man would be caught by the guards, and when he heard these people's discussions and questions, he immediately retorted without thinking, "How can it be an assassin!" ”
Feeling that his tone was a little tough, he eased his face again, and said, "Don't worry, my Dongyun Palace is heavily guarded, and the thief will definitely be caught immediately, and I will definitely give an explanation to the princess and all the adults at that time." ”
After that, he didn't want everyone to stay in this palace any longer, so he made an excuse and said, "This palace is a relatively remote place, and it will take a lot of time for the imperial doctor to come over, so it is more appropriate for us to send the princess to the residence to rest, and let the imperial doctor go there to see the princess." ”
Some ministers wanted to say more, but Wen Ziran said at this time, "This move is more appropriate, so let's act in the words of the six princes." ”
Hearing Wen Ziran say this, those Nanning ministers closed their mouths one after another and nodded in agreement.
Ling Chengxi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and arranged for the palace people to help Zhong Lixuan up and prepare to leave the palace.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the hall, the guards who had been chasing him out had already hurried back and walked towards Ling Chengxi.
Seeing this, Ling Chengxi motioned for the palace people to go first, and stayed behind to wait for the guards to come.
"Back to His Royal Highness Six, his subordinates failed to catch up with that person, but looking at the person's clothes, it seems that he is wearing palace clothes." The guard looked ashamed and reported to Ling Chengxi.
Hearing that he couldn't catch the palace man, Ling Chengxi relieved his heart, but he still showed a displeased expression on his face, "Why can't you even catch a thief, what are you eating?" ”
The guards bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.
"We have strengthened guard patrols these days, and we must not slack off." Ling Chengxi put down this sentence and turned to leave.
