At this time, in the Qiyang Palace, Qi Da was in the prince's study.

"You said that Ruqing was left in the palace by the emperor?" The prince was surprised.

Qi Dadao: "On the surface, yes, Madame's maid was told by the palace maid in the palace and the emperor's father-in-law Zhao, and she couldn't see Madame, we suspect that Madame is in trouble now." ”

The prince frowned, and after a little thought, he could realize that something was wrong here. He knew the emperor's love for Qi Yanzhi, he loved the house and Wu, and it was impossible to be like Ruqing. Not to mention whether she really fell ill suddenly, she definitely won't just leave Ruqing, at least she should leave a girl to take care of her, or at least inform the palace,

"It's late at night, and it's not good for me to go to the palace openly." The prince said worriedly, "I can only wait for tomorrow morning, but if someone really plans something, this night's time is very troublesome." ”

That's right, if even the prince can't enter the palace at night, then no one can save Xie Ruqing, and besides, you must make sure that Xie Ruqing is really not at the emperor's place and is under house arrest, otherwise wouldn't the prince be unhappy if he went rashly?

Qi Da didn't ask the prince for anything, he knew that the prince had his own considerations, and he wouldn't ignore Xie Ruqing.

After a while, the prince muttered: "In this way, you go to the general's mansion and ask Yu Jun if he is on duty today, if you can be sure that Ruqing is not in the emperor's place, I will find a way to enter the palace." ”

Qi Da didn't dare to delay, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your trouble!" ”

Looking for Yu Jun to inquire about Qi Tiantian, he had already thought of it, but if he went to the palace before going to the general's mansion, it would make the prince feel more comfortable.

Not long after, Qi Da rushed to the General's Mansion and was told that Yu Jun was still in the palace.

"I'm not mistaken, you're the groom of the Marquis of Qingyang, right?" One of the housekeepers of the General's Mansion asked.

"Exactly." Qi Dahui.

The housekeeper was also a human spirit, and immediately realized that something might be wrong, so he asked a few words, "What happened at night to find our son-in-law, do you want to enter the palace?" ”

Qi Da was a little embarrassed: "It's a little trivial, and I have to worry about it, so I'll go to the palace to find Lord Yu." ”

The housekeeper frowned, and when Qi Da left, he immediately went to report to the ancestor.

How important Xie Ruqing is in the hearts of the ancestors, everyone knows that she naturally has to say something to the ancestors. When the old ancestor heard this, he was really anxious immediately, and asked someone to hurry to the palace to ask Yu Jun what happened.

In addition, Qi Zhiyuan was also anxious when he heard that Xie Ruqing was left in the palace, and ran to ask the prince to help him enter the palace overnight.

The emperor celebrated his birthday today, and he worked very hard all day, and finally rested late at night, but he was woken up just after lying in bed.

"What?" The emperor asked with some displeasure.

Li Gonggong said: "Back to the emperor, it was King Qiyang who came, saying that he had something important to see." ”

"King Qiyang?" The emperor wondered, "What is he doing?" ”

That who knows.

The emperor wondered if he had something to do, maybe what news did Qi Yanzhi have? So I had to get up and get dressed again.

Before the clothes were dressed, a little eunuch came in to report.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, the old lady of Yufu is here, saying that she has something important to see."

The old lady is also here?

This is strange, the emperor said in his heart, has it been discussed in the evening?

Then let's come, just see you together. The emperor is worried about his life, so he has to dress carefully, he just walked out of the palace, and a little eunuch came to report.

"Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you."

The prince also came to join in the fun?

"What day is it?" The emperor said in his heart that his birthday was over, "No matter how you come to join in the fun." ”

"Maybe something's going on." Gonggong Li helped the emperor to go up to the study, "Slow down, it's not bad for a while." ”

The three of them came, and it was designated that it would not be Qi Yanzhi's news, so the emperor was a little lacking in interest and yawned into the study.

The three who came to face the saint together didn't expect to meet a "fellow believer", so they stood awkwardly in one place, secretly wondering about the purpose of the other party's coming.

King Qiyang probably knew the purpose of the old lady, and when she entered the palace at this time, she was probably for Xie Ruqing.

As for the crown prince...... He couldn't think of it.

He couldn't have imagined that the prince was invited by Qi Zhiyuan.

The emperor entered the study, and the three of them followed, standing respectfully on the main hall, without any preparations, just staggered.

"It's going to be lively." The emperor sat down and looked at the three of them, "Which of you will say it first?" ”

King Qiyang took a step back and asked the old lady to tell the prince first, the prince thought about it and let the old lady say it first.

The old lady did not give in, and arched her hand: "It is not intentional to enter the palace late at night to disturb the emperor, the old woman is here for Ruqing." ”

King Qiyang and the crown prince were stunned at the same time, and said that she was also for Ruqing?

The emperor wondered: "For Ruqing? What's wrong with her? ”

"Yes, the emperor, today she entered the palace to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and she never went back, I don't know what it is, I only heard that the emperor ordered her to stay in the palace."

This statement is a bit unpleasant, just because the old lady didn't know that the reason for leaving Xie Ruqing was because she was not feeling well, so she said so.

The emperor frowned, "Who spreads such gossip?" ”

"The emperor is angry." King Qiyang stood up at this time and said, "The old lady probably didn't know the whole story, Ruqing's girl received a message from the palace maid and the eunuch in Gongzhong, saying that Ruqing was unwell and was left in the palace by the emperor for treatment. ”

"You're all here for this?" The emperor looked at the three of them in surprise, the old lady and King Qiyang were worried about Ruqing, but they could understand, what did the prince do?

The prince said: "Don't hide it from my father, the son is entrusted by others, Mrs. Qingyang Hou has a wide range of friends, some people heard that she was sick and was left in the palace by you, and they were also worried about what was important to her, so I asked the son to come into the palace to have a look." ”

This is strange, the emperor wondered, "I didn't keep her, and I didn't know that she was sick, where did this start?" ”

King Qiyang and the old lady glanced at each other, and they both chuckled in their hearts: "The emperor really doesn't know?" ”

"Can I still lie to you?" The emperor called Gonggong Li, "You go and ask, which palace left Mrs. Qingyang Marquis?" ”

Gonggong Li's face sank, he didn't know that Mrs. Qingyang Hou stayed in the palace, and there were his eyeliner everywhere in the palace, but he didn't find it?

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave will go and check."

"Gonggong Li stays." The prince suddenly said, "Since I secretly left Mrs. Qingyang Hou and didn't ask anyone to visit, it proves that there must be a cat, so if you check it with such fanfare, if Mrs. Qingyang Hou has a good person, you can't help Qingyang Hou is desperate on the front line." ”

The emperor frowned, and also realized the danger, he sent Gonggong Li, "Go and investigate secretly, see which bold person dares to falsely spread the holy decree, be sure to ensure the safety of Mrs. Qingyang Hou!" ”

Gonggong Li said in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

He thought about the children around the emperor with a calm face, thinking left and right, no one wanted to betray him, but if it wasn't for the emperor's side, could it be that the people around Mrs. Qingyang Marquis didn't recognize him when he passed on the message?

Gonggong Li did not look for it with great fanfare, but first asked a few people on duty today what was going on in each palace.

The children under his command have their own duties, some are only responsible for taking care of the emperor, and some are responsible for keeping an eye on the situation in other palaces, and one of them is called Lai Shun who is in charge of these.

"Back to Master Li, there is no Qing Imperial Doctor in the palace today, only Concubine Yan is unwell, so she sent her personal palace maid to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine."

Gonggong Li then asked, "What medicine did she take?" ”
