Concubine Yan panicked: "Your Majesty, it's not such an emperor, it's really not me who asked them to transport them out of the palace, I'm just, just talking in a hurry, they said that I kept things privately and caught my eunuch, I thought that the box was gold and silver jewelry, it was really not me who asked them to transport it away, Your Majesty!" ”

"So you mean they stole it?" The emperor patiently interrogated her: "Do you think they have such courage to steal so much gold and silver jewelry from your palace and transport them out of the palace overnight?" ”

Usually if the eunuchs and palace maids are not clean with their hands and feet, they will steal one at most at a time, and they don't dare to carry the box out to sell it with such fanfare, so they should take it with them and sneak out of the palace.

It can be seen that Concubine Yan is probably lying, because this is not logical.

"They're bullying me for being easy to talk to!" Speaking of this, Concubine Yan was aggrieved, "There are too many things in my palace, and sometimes I can't take care of them, so they take the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes to hide their private belts, and the concubines are soft-spoken in the palace, they are respectful to me on the surface, but in fact, they are planning against me behind their backs, Your Majesty, you believe that the concubines don't want to sell things, Your Majesty!" ”

"How can my sister be so careless." Yao Guifei said: "I know that the people in the palace are not clean, and the emperor rewards you with things, you should count them every day, how can you leave it alone, like I will count the objects in the palace every day, if it accidentally flows out, it will not make the emperor sad." ”

This is obviously saying for Concubine Yan, but in fact it is digging a pit, this is clearly saying that she doesn't pay attention to the things rewarded by the emperor, and she doesn't care about it, and she doesn't know how many things there are, so it can be seen that she doesn't care about it.

The emperor's face really deteriorated, "Concubine Yan, you tell me the truth, do you need money anywhere?" ”

Concubine Yan: "The concubine really didn't sell anything, the emperor, the concubine doesn't need money, the concubine really doesn't!" ”

"Concubine Yan, my patience is really limited." The emperor is no longer in the mood to argue, "I will give you another chance, otherwise I will have to do business." ”

Yao Guifei was playing a round next to her at this time, "Your Majesty, you asked someone to count Concubine Yan's finances, everything in the horizontal and vertical palace is quantitative, and you can see it at a glance, maybe Sister Yan's things are not missing at all?" ”

The emperor waved his hand, "Go and count immediately!" ”

He remembered that there was another Liu Dayou. "What kind of charter do you have?"

Liu Dayou is a person close to the emperor, and the emperor naturally remembers him, he has the impression that this eunuch is honest and honest, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays. There were so many things that happened this night, and it was overwhelming.

Li Gonggong said: "It's such an emperor, today I went to the Duckweed Palace and found that he was privately serving for someone, and that person was in the palace of the concubine, and I wanted to come to the concubine to verify it." ”

Yao Guifei said: "I know about this, and I also told Liu Dayou that he doesn't have to be so serious, it's okay if I don't do my work here every other day, I didn't expect him to be particularly conscientious." ”

When the emperor heard that it was not a big deal, he didn't bother to ask, so he waved his hand and let people go down. Not long after, the person who counted the gold and silver jewelry came back and said that he had found that those things were given by the emperor to Concubine Yan.

The two eunuchs unanimously denied that those things were stolen, and insisted that Concubine Yan asked them to sell them out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, you don't believe in your concubines like this, your concubines might as well die!" Concubine Yan wanted to die or live, and she was about to hit the wall when she spoke, but she was stopped by Gonggong Li and Yu Jun, "You let go of me and tell me to die, the emperor doesn't believe me, I might as well die......"

"Your Majesty, Sister Yan thinks about what kind of trouble she has here," Yao Guifei admonished at this time, "Is it urgent to use money, the concubine thinks it's better to ask clearly, if Sister Yan really has any difficulties, we should help her solve it, we can't let her resist alone, right?" ”

The emperor also has a little guilt for Concubine Yan, after all, Concubine Yan didn't do anything heinous, she was favored some time ago, and it was also her own rights, if she did something foolish because of this, nine times out of ten it was because of this.

"You don't pretend to be a good person!" Concubine Yan pointed at Yao Guifei and said, "You know all day long that you pretend to be a good person in front of the emperor, and you can't hear it when others are sarcastic?" I think it was arranged by you at all, I never asked people to sell things, maybe you gave them some benefits, so that they slandered me, who doesn't know that you are the best at winning people's hearts, even the eunuchs around the emperor will not let go! ”

"Your Majesty, don't let this vicious woman be deceived, I see that Liu Dayou just now, nine times out of ten, she was also bought, Your Majesty, you can beware of the people around you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the slave still has something to report." One of the eunuchs said, "Today, the slave saw the prince enter and leave the palace of Concubine Yan with his own eyes, and it took half an hour before he came out, and he didn't ask anyone to approach at that time, and Concubine Yan asked me to wait out of the palace to sell jewelry that night." ”

"There is such a thing!" The emperor was shocked, what is the prince going to do when he enters and exits his concubine's palace, this woman has to do not say anything about the prince's fornication, but also sells things, what does this mean, this shows that she has planned to leave the palace!

"Your Majesty!" This time, Concubine Yan was really shocked, because she was really right, but she subconsciously denied it, she must not be able to admit this kind of thing, if she admits it, then there is no way to live at all, "The concubine was wronged, you two, you two harbor evil intentions, what do I have a deep hatred with you, you want to frame me like this!" ”

There are countless women in the emperor's harem, and he can abandon it from beginning to end, but he can't allow the palace concubine to steal people, not to mention that it is the prince who steals, this is chaos and rebellion! The prince even thinks about the women in his harem, what else can't he think about! I'm afraid I wish he had died early so that he could inherit the harem!

"Your Majesty," Gonggong Li said at this time, "there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not." ”

"Say!" The emperor held back a breath of anger in his chest, staring at Concubine Yan and strangling her.

"Your Majesty, someone in Concubine Yan's palace went to the Tai Hospital today to ask for medicine, and what he asked for was Shunzi soup, and the minister was not sure if it was true, but now he ......"

"Slut!" The emperor pointed at Concubine Yan and scolded, "I treat you well, you are so disappointed!" ”

Concubine Yan was already crying without an image, she knew that this matter could not be contained, so she knelt and pounced on the emperor, "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor is not willing to do it, it is the prince who raped me, and the emperor's concubines were wronged! The concubines didn't want to live anymore, but they really couldn't give up the emperor, and they didn't want to cause chaos to the emperor at this time, so they lived, the emperor, you believe me, I was really ...... by the prince."

"Drag me down!" The successive irritation was already intolerable to the emperor, and he didn't want to hear anything about Concubine Yan anymore, so he directly asked someone to drag her down to the cold palace.

There is also the rebel son of the prince, as soon as the emperor thinks of him, the idea of abolishing the prince grows day by day, and he is not in the mood to continue to investigate anything, so he leaves Yao Guifei's bedroom angrily.

After the emperor left, Yao Guifei sat in the position of the emperor wrapped in her clothes, asked the girl to pour a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and asked, "Are you all out?" ”

"Concubine Niangniang, it's all right, don't worry."

As he walked, the emperor asked Gonggong Li, "Is there anything unusual in the palace of the concubine?" ”

The emperor talked to Yao Guifei for a long time, but it was not a waste of time, and the secret guard secretly inspected the concubine's bedroom. Li Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual. ”

The emperor is really puzzled, nothing is unusual, where can Qi Yanzhi and his daughter-in-law go, can they still disappear out of thin air?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks today's events are a little strange." Gonggong Li has one thing to say, although Concubine Yan has been confirmed to have stolen people, but the matter of transporting gold and silver jewelry out of the palace is still to be discussed, after all, it is too incredible, and I am afraid that normal and brainy people will not do such a thing.

"What do you want to say?" The emperor had a lawsuit, and he didn't think about it in detail.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't mean anything else, he just thinks that this fact is a coincidence, could the box be to cover up something?"

"You go on." The emperor didn't want to guess at all.

"Don't you think it's strange to send gold and silver jewelry out in boxes, and why today? There are also two little eunuchs who are also very problematic, and the ministers will interrogate them strictly later. ”

The emperor finally calmed down and thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "You mean that the box is likely to interfere with the vision, and the actual box has another purpose?" ”

Gonggong Li didn't dare to draw conclusions in vain, but just acquiesced to the emperor's statement.

The more he thought about this matter, the more strange it became, the emperor thought all the way, and when he arrived outside the imperial study, he instructed Yu Jundao; "You go and check the records of today's palace in detail, and all those who pass by the palace gate must check, pay attention to the blocking news."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as the emperor entered the main hall, he yelled at the prince: "You kneel down for me!" ”

The crown prince was waiting for the emperor to expose Yao Guifei's conspiracy, how did he know that he actually found him first, he didn't know what he did that angered the emperor, so he could only pretend to be confused first. "Father, who are you with, did Mrs. Qingyang Marquis find it?"

"You shameless rebel!" The emperor stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, "You did a good job!" ”

The prince chuckled in his heart, as if he knew what the problem was, but he felt that this matter was incredible, and he went to the Yanfei Palace today to have fun, of course he couldn't go blatantly, he was going to take care of everything, how could someone find out if it was foolproof? Could it be that Concubine Yan's stupid woman admitted it?

The prince can get the concubine Yan into hands, naturally it is coercive and tempted, Concubine Yan has now fallen out of favor, if she gets the prince's love, it is equivalent to climbing a high branch, even for her own future happiness, it is impossible to give the prince out, the two of them jumped the grasshopper on the rope, and they want to finish together.

But the prince didn't expect that Concubine Yan would steal gold and silver jewelry, and when the two got together, Concubine Yan couldn't resist it at all, so she could only sell him.

"Father, what did the sons and daughters do again?" The prince quibbled, "And the problem now is not to find Mrs. Qingyang Hou, there is no time to delay, if it is delayed, it is likely to be bad!" ”

The prince's words reminded the emperor that tonight was supposed to investigate the affairs of Mrs. Qingyang Hou, but there was a lot of trouble, and all the contradictions pointed to the prince and Concubine Yan, isn't this too coincidental? It is necessary for the emperor to suspect that it is the voice of the people who are attacking the west, in order to cover up the disappearance of Mrs. Qingyang Hou.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he has to find Ruqing as soon as possible." The Marquis of Qi Yang stood up at this time and said, "Ruqing's whereabouts are unknown, but something happened in the palace, which is really not right, and the minister suspects that Ruqing has been sent out of the palace." ”

The emperor frowned, he also had this idea just now, there is no whereabouts of Yan's daughter-in-law in the palace, maybe she has really been sent out of the palace.

"Someone, send someone to search outside the palace overnight, to see if there are any suspicious people in and out, or if there are suspicious boxes in and out, once there is no matter who I am, they will all be intercepted by me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Father." The prince took the initiative to ask Ying at this time, "Erchen is currently well aware of all matters at the city gate, and Erchen is willing to serve his father," Erchen suspected that someone in the palace was colluding with the people in Fanbang, intending to kidnap Mrs. Qingyang Hou and force Qingyang Hou and the ninth brother to withdraw their troops, if they were allowed to succeed in their conspiracy, then wouldn't Qingyang Hou and the ninth brother be desperate on the front line in vain? ”

These words can really impress the emperor, the matter of the prince's fornication harem can be discussed later, but the matter of Mrs. Qingyang Hou can't wait, and she must find her clues as soon as possible.

So the emperor did not pursue the prince's involvement with Concubine Yan for the time being, but asked him to go to the city gate to make up for his mistakes. The prince was relieved, and made a military order with the emperor that he would definitely be able to find Mrs. Qingyang Hou.

Of course, the prince's main purpose is not to find Xie Ruqing, but to pull Yao Guifei off the horse, today is either she is finished or the prince is finished, if this game is not successful, the prince may not be the prince when he comes back, so he must fight to the death, and he must succeed.

The crown prince was quite irresponsible in the city gate before, and he only knew that he was happy, but today things are different, he must succeed, if he can't, the emperor is afraid to kill him. Today's prince is particularly responsible, and the gates of the city are strictly guarded, and many times more soldiers than usual are sent to search and arrest the whole city.

Qi Er followed the big wooden box all the way to a private house on the outskirts of the city, and two people who looked like Fanbang came out to answer it, and then entered the house.

This box was not the one that was carried out of Yao Guifei's palace, but was found after Qi Da left the palace, and the previous one was seized by Yu Jun, Qi Er knew at that time that there must be no lady in it, if he wanted to transport someone out of the palace, he would definitely not choose such a stupid method.

He judged that this might be a trick, so he decided to leave the palace, and as a result, he really found another large wooden box outside the palace, and he deduced that it might have been out of the palace through some secret passage.

If the lady is in this box, it proves that Yao Guifei does have a deal with Fanbang, and the purpose is self-evident, it must be to blackmail the young master.

Qi Er climbed to the roof, he was born a tall man, but his movements were extremely light, walking on the roof lighter than a cat, he walked to the middle of the house, gently lifted a tile, and looked through the gap in the tile.

The room was very simple, empty inside, and there were four or five people standing in it, two of whom were guards carrying boxes out of the palace, but they were already dressed in ordinary clothes, and the rest were dressed as Fanbang.

"This is Mrs. Qingyang Hou." One of the guards said, "We brought people as promised, when will our four princesses come?" ”

One of the big men smiled, "Is this really Mrs. Qingyang Hou?" You have no evidence, we must check the authenticity. ”

The guard said: "You can go anywhere to inquire, if this is not Mrs. Qingyang Hou, I will chop off my head for you." ”

"What do I want your head for?" The man snorted softly, circled around the box, and said very cautiously, "You open it for me." ”

This was for fear that there were harmful things in it, so the guard didn't say anything, so he stepped forward to open the box for him to check, and when the box opened, an unconscious woman was lying inside.

Qi Er was stunned, the person inside was not a lady?

Fooled again?

No, what is the problem, he doesn't believe that his wife is still in the palace, and now the palace is not safe, as long as the emperor has the heart to investigate, he will definitely be able to find it, Yao Guifei does not dare to put his wife in the palace.

Where is that, when did it change, or did it have been sent out at all?

"This is Mrs. Qingyang Hou?" That Bang Dahan stepped forward and pinched Xie Ruqing's chin for a moment, he also inquired about Mrs. Qingyang Hou before he came, saying that she was born very beautiful, this woman is really good-looking, but he can't be sure if it's herself.

"It's like a fake." The guard said, "You are now in the capital, I'm afraid I can't find a few women who are better looking than her, and it's not easy for me to give you a fake one." ”

The man didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he didn't speak again, but stared at "Xie Ruqing" for a long time, and then closed the box after reading it, "Well, I felt your sincerity and decided to bring the fourth princess to you as soon as possible." He instructed the other man, "Send off the guest." ”

"Hey, wait!" One of the guards said: "Didn't you say that you can bring the princess out immediately, what does it mean to bring it as soon as possible, so our princess is still in Fanbang?" ”

The big man said unhurriedly: "Where is it so easy to come, now that the two countries are at war, your generals will shoot our people when they see them, if they accidentally hurt the fourth princess, who is this?" Naturally, you have to be cautious, I'm afraid you won't be able to come over for a while. ”

"How can you go back on your word?" The guard was anxious, "Obviously said that we would be able to see the princess after handing over someone, and now you say that the princess can't come, so why do we hand over Mrs. Qingyang Hou to you, who knows if you are lying?" ”

"We are not untrustworthy people." Fanbang Dahan said, "Besides, we are now in your territory, we don't have an advantage, how can we go back on our word and provoke the fire, we are still afraid that you will not let us out of the city, you can rest assured, the princess will definitely send it to you, you can still ask for a note, anyway, now we can't hand over people." ”

The guard didn't know what to say, he pondered for a moment and said, "Since you can't hand over the people, then we will take Mrs. Qingyang Hou first, and when the fourth princess comes, we will bring Mrs. Qingyang Hou again." ”

The two guards were about to carry the big wooden box when they spoke, but the people from Fanbang stopped them and said, "Want to leave? ”

"What do you want to do?" As if facing a great enemy, the guard drew his sword from his body to defend himself, "I warn you, this is a dignified capital, not your fanbang, so you can't be presumptuous!" ”

"We didn't want to be presumptuous, let alone embarrassed you, but this box can't be taken away, you two can go." Fanbang Dahan said.

"You guys want to play the yin forcible robbery?" The guards were almost like listening to the joke, "Who are you fools to be?" ”

The co-authors sent it, and they were unloaded and killed like donkeys, what is this called, bullying them stupidly?

"What do you call that! The guards were also angry, "We took such a big risk to send people out of the palace, do you know how important Mrs. Qingyang Hou is?" Do you know that once she disappears, the whole city and even the emperor will go crazy, and it is very likely that she will soon order a search for the whole city, do you think you can run away, or do you have time to wait for the fourth princess to come to the capital? ”

That's right, the big man thought for a while and said: "Then it's better to leave the two of you to stay with me for two days, and if something happens, the two of you can still testify with me, we are not people with plans." ”

As he spoke, he motioned to his subordinates to arrest people, and the two guards were shocked and raised their swords to resist, but within two rounds, they were captured by the Fanbangs.

"Be bold!" The guards shouted: "We are palace guards, you have captured us, don't want to escape from the capital!" ”

"If you can't escape, you'll die with the two of you." Fanbang laughed, turned around and fished out "Mrs. Hou" from the wooden box, carried it on his shoulders and entered the room, "I want to see if Mrs. Hou of Qingyang is really stunning." ”

Qi Er frowned, he gently put down the tiles, and turned around to fall into the night.

Where is Madame, he couldn't figure it out, on the way he was sure that the two guards had not been transferred halfway, could it be that Madame was still in the palace?

Qi Er had to return to the Hou Mansion first, Ruhuan waited anxiously, kept walking around the room, and when he saw Qi Er coming back, he immediately asked, "What's the matter, Madame, but there is news?" ”

Qi Er shook his head, "What about Qi Da, does he have any news?" ”

"Qi Da hasn't come back yet." Ruhuan was deflated, "Why is there no news, what is going on with Madame!" ”

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Qi Da came back later, and the news given was still not good, "The emperor now suspects that the lady has been transferred out of the palace and is being searched throughout the city, King Qiyang and the old lady have also returned to their respective homes, and they have gone to search, Qi Er, what is your situation?" ”

Qi Er told them the news of this way, and Qi was shocked, "Is there really collusion with Fanbang?" ”

"Yes, Yao Guifei wanted to use Mrs. to return the fourth princess, but she didn't change it, and the other party broke her promise, but Yao Guifei was also very scheming and didn't really send Mrs. out."

"I have to communicate with the emperor and the king of Qiyang about this matter, and the top priority is to find those people in Fanbang, maybe there can be any clues." Qi Da was about to leave again. "Qi Er will go out to find it again, if possible, go to the chemical industry again, keep an eye on Yao Guifei, you can go or send a reliable person, I am responsible for looking for it in the capital, a big living person, I don't believe it can fly out of thin air!"

"yes, I see." Qi Er said.

"Oh, that's not right." Qi Da went out and walked two steps and came back, "What about Miss Yu Yan?" ”

When he said this, everyone remembered that Yu Yan hadn't come back yet!
