"No need for the time being, Yanran, your good fetal care is the biggest thing to do, the other palaces will prepare, since you want to organize a birthday party, you naturally have to discuss it with the birthday star, otherwise even if the palace takes off the stars in the sky, if my sister doesn't like it, it will be in vain!" Queen Su said casually, and soon got up to prepare a new nutritious soup for Song Yanran.

At this time, Song Yanran carefully tasted Queen Su's words, and suddenly felt a little epiphany, if the prince doesn't like her, even if she digs her heart and lungs, I'm afraid she can only end up with nothing, except for getting the reputation of a good wife and staying alone in the empty house, she doesn't know what else she can get in the end, this is her most fearful ending, she has always wondered, does Prince Nan Xuanye really like her? Or did she just like the family forces behind her, and if so, did she still have the courage to ask? Is it still necessary to ask?

When she thought of this, Song Yanran was directly decadent, and she slowly became silent.

At this time, Nan Xuanye, who also returned from Changchun Garden, was blinded at this time, and when Cheng Yu helped him walk through the Hundred Beasts Garden, the prince Nan Xuanye suddenly stopped, his body was threatening, his eyes were red, and his body slowly walked into the gate of the Hundred Beasts Garden, but when she approached, she found that the door was locked on the opposite side, and he couldn't get in at all, even if he wanted to.

"Open the door!" Prince Nan Xuanye stretched out his right hand and slapped it vigorously on the gate of the Hundred Beast Garden, clang, clang, clang, as the iron ring on the gate violently knocked on the gate in front of him, the courtyard was empty, and there was no sound.

Prince Nanxuan was blown by the cold wind at this time, and the wine had already woken up for seven or eight minutes, plus he ate the closed door, and the anger was ignited. “

"Cheng Yu! Smash the door open! Can't you see Xiao Wang, I can't get in? What are you doing there?" Prince Nan Xuanye looked at Cheng Yu in front of him and said sternly.

"Your Highness, you just said a month ago that you will not set foot in the Hundred Beasts Garden in the future, and you will never see Xia Yinbing Xia again! Have you forgotten? Cheng Yu asked patiently, he was really worried that his master would come to his senses and would directly ask him for trouble, this kind of thing is too high to happen, and it is too easy to be embarrassed!

"What the hell, open the door!" Prince Nan Xuanye looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, he had long lost patience, and after speaking, he was about to pull out the soft sword on his waist and go to the big lock on the gate.

"Your Highness, you wait! You wait! I'm going to find someone, you wait! Cheng Yu looked at the person in front of him, and immediately found someone to unlock the lock, at this time, Nan Xuanye had already fallen in front of the door of the Hundred Beast Garden, lying on the door with both hands, leaning against the door in a daze, "Xia Yinbing, you woman!" Where the hell did it go? Open the door! Did You Know...... I haven't seen ...... for a month Death ...... Woo, poof......"

Prince Nan Xuanye didn't have time to finish, and the whole person was already lying on the door and spit out all the wine in his mouth, "You don't know, this month, I left you for a few days...... I'm starting to miss you...... Looking for a woman...... Handling government affairs...... But I still miss you...... Xia Yinbing! Open the door! ”

At this time, Cheng Yu, who had just called someone to come over and open the door, saw the prince Nan Xuanye lying on the ground in front of him, Cheng Yu looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and quickly ran over and helped the prince Nan Xuanye in front of him up, but when Cheng Yu helped Nan Xuanye to go out again, suddenly Cheng Yu was pushed to the ground by Nan Xuanye.

"Open the door! Open the door! Xiao Wang, I'm going to see Xia Yinbing in front of me! Open the door! Prince Nan Xuanye looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, his eyes were red, his brain was blown by the cold wind and instantly regained his clarity, he woke up for seven or eight minutes, and looked at the guards in front of him who were trying their best to unlock the lock, waiting aside.

At this time, the crown prince Nan Xuanye, who was waiting on the side, suddenly heard the voice from the guard opposite: "Your Highness, the lock of the Hundred Beast Garden has been artificially destroyed, and the courtyard has also been locked up, and now you can't get in, unless you smash the lock!" Nan Xuanye looked at the guards in front of him, and his face turned pale.

"That's smashing! Don't talk nonsense! Prince Nan Xuanye looked at the person in front of him with a burst of excitement, and suddenly pulled out the soft sword on his waist, pushed away the guards in front of him, and slashed down towards the iron rope on the gate of the Hundred Beast Garden.

A flame burned in Nan Xuanye's heart, he just hadn't come here for a month, why did he become like this, the door was locked inside and out!

The anger in Nan Xuanye's heart was irrepressible, the long sword slashed a few times, and soon cut the chain behind the door, and with a bang, the chain fell to the ground, and the door squeaked, and was vigorously pushed open by Nan Xuanye.

When the familiar courtyard appeared in front of Nan Xuanye again, the small courtyard in front of him looked much desolate and depressed, with pieces of fallen leaves rolling on the ground, the surroundings were very quiet, and no sound could be heard, the bluestone pavement was paved with a layer of fallen leaves, and even the flower beds on both sides became piles of dead branches and fallen leaves.

"Xia Yinbing!" Nan Xuanye didn't have time to pay attention to everything around him, so he went directly to the door of the small courtyard and walked towards Xia Yinbing's room, but when he pushed the room in front of him directly, it was empty, except for the neatly folded bedding, the room was spotlessly cleaned, and the windows around were bright and clean, quiet, and there was no trace of the breath of a living person, and the surroundings were quiet and weird.

"Xia Yinbing, you come out for me! What to hide! Nan Xuan turned the small building up and down at night and still didn't find any trace of Xia Yinbing, she was like the world had evaporated, looking everywhere, there was no shadow of her.

"Your Highness, I haven't found Miss Xia Yinbing inside and out! Do you need to go to the depths of the Hundred Beast Garden, which is where Miss Xia Yinbing often goes? The guard on the side asked cautiously.

"Go! Don't be verbose! After Prince Nan Xuanye made sure that there was no whereabouts of Xia Yinbing and the girl Yun Shu in the room, he rummaged through it again, and finally went directly to the depths of the Hundred Beast Garden, ran to the stable of the Hundred Beast Garden, pulled out a gray horse, and ran towards the mountain where lions and tigers often gathered.

The horses neighed, the cold wind cut like a knife, Nan Xuan didn't care about the severe cold of the climate, he directly waved the whip and kept pumping the horse, speeding up and looking in the direction of the surroundings, but until the middle of the night when he couldn't see his fingers, he still didn't find Xia Yinbing.

"Your Highness, we have expanded the search scope to the entire East Palace, and we still haven't found Miss Xia, including Miao Xi and Yun Shu, all of whom have disappeared!" Cheng Yu suddenly felt that the matter was very serious this time.

Miao Xi was recruited by His Royal Highness the Prince, and Yun Shu was also a domestic maid in the East Palace, so there was no reason to leave without a trace, but the three big living people disappeared into the Prince's Mansion out of thin air, and there was no more news, and nothing could be seen.

"Find out if there have been any carriages and horses in and out of the East Palace in the past month, especially about Xia Yinbing, Miao Xi and Yun Shu, inquire closely, don't leak the news!" Prince Nan Xuan sat in the room with Xia Yinbing at night, and commanded calmly.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Cheng Yu immediately sent someone to mobilize all the secret guards of the entire East Palace and secretly searched for it, at this time, it had been a day and a night since Xia Yinbing, it was close to ten in the morning, and Cheng Yu came back soon.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't found any strange traces of carriages and horses recently, and Miss Xia Yinbing has no whereabouts at all!" Cheng Yu whispered, this is the second time he has encountered such a thing, the first time is that Xia Yinbing left in a hurry, and he also looked for no news all night, and it was not very suitable to describe Xia Yinbing without a trace.

At this time, Nan Xuanye looked at the dark sky around him, and Cheng Yu, who was helpless in front of him, his whole person was blinded, this is not what he wants to see, Xia Yinbing shouldn't be so ruthless!

"Alright, let's go back!" After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he rode his horse and galloped in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace, without any temper with Cheng Yu in front of him, this phenomenon directly frightened Cheng Yu in front of him.

Cheng Yu didn't give up, he still sent someone to look for it secretly, at this time, Nan Xuanye had already ridden back to the Hundred Beast Garden after a quarter of an hour, and he was crazy again, turning over the Hundred Beast Garden in front of him inside and out, and still didn't find any trace of Xia Yinbing.

The news of Xia Yinbing's departure quickly spread secretly from the East Palace to Queen Su's ears, and she raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her who delivered the news: "Really? Not mistaken? ”

"Back to the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has mobilized the secret guards in the palace to go out to look for a day and a night, and there is still no news until dawn, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone crazy."

"What do you say? Crazy? Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not rest for a day and a night? Queen Su looked at the person kneeling on the ground to report the news in shock, there was undisguised surprise in her eyes, surprise, and disbelief, she didn't think that the prince really liked Xia Yinbing, but she didn't expect to care to this extent.

"Okay, this palace knows, you go down first! Don't let the crown princess know about this matter, keep your mouth shut! Empress Su glanced at the lotus shadow, and then at the person who was kneeling on the ground to ventilate the news, and warned repeatedly.

"Yes!" The person who came quickly retreated, and at this time, Lianying, who was standing in front of her, looked at Queen Su in front of her and asked, "It's a good thing that this Xia Yinbing ran away, why don't you let the crown princess know about it?" ”

"You use your brain, the crown prince is early for Xia Yinbing for a day and a night, you let the crown princess know what she will think in the future? Will she be lost in her heart, will she be sad? Empress Su's words quickly made Lotus Shadow lower her head.

"Slaves are stupid! Mother's forgiveness! After Lianying finished speaking, she quickly glanced at the courtyard where the crown princess lived, and there was nothing unusual as usual, but what Queen Su and her personal maid Lianying didn't notice was that at this time, the crown princess Song Yanran's hand had fallen on the pigeon that had been cooing, and a note on it just fell on Song Yanran's hand.

The moment Song Yanran released the pigeon in her hand, the message on the note was also secretly poured into her hand, with a very simple sentence on it: "Xia Yinbing, you have disappeared for a day and a night, Nan Xuanye has been looking for it without success!" ”

Although it is a short sentence, it is already a great news for Song Yanran, how much the chaotic prince Nan Xuanye likes that woman, and the most important thing now is that the only pregnant and noble daughter by the prince's side is she Song Yanran herself, her good days are coming!

Song Yanran got out of bed and put the note in her hand in the charcoal basin on the ground and burned it to ashes, when she returned to the bed again, the ashes had been extinguished, and Queen Su and Lianying pushed the door one after the other.

"How does it feel today? What else would you like to eat? Queen Su came to Song Yanran's face, looking at the ashes in the charcoal basin on the ground, her eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and the corners of her lips raised slightly, sure enough, this princess still has her own news channels, it seems that she still has to be careful in the future.

"After returning to her mother, Yanran feels very comfortable today and wants to eat pig's trotters in sauce." Song Yanran returned to the bed, holding the stove in her hand, her smiling eyes were crooked, her expression was soft and relaxed, and the feeling she conveyed was also so relaxed and casual.

"Okay, Yanran has a good appetite, which means that the child in the belly is also good, sauce pig's trotters? The queen mother will arrange for someone to do it! ”

。 “

After looking for half a month, there was no trace of Xia Yinbing, and the entire East Palace was shocked, this was an unprecedented move, the crown prince Nan Xuanye was drunk for half a month, and he did not deal with the government affairs, which shocked the old emperor who was in retreat.

At this time, the crown prince Nan Xuanye was still in a drunken coma, the so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the scene of Nan Xuanye's hangover in front of him happened to be in front of Nan Wuyan, the old emperor who came out of the palace to visit Prince Nan Xuanye, this scene was really bad.

The news of the capital spread vigorously, and many people said that after the prince Nan Xuanye dealt with the affairs of the imperial court, he became arrogant, arbitrary and conceited, did not take anyone in his eyes, and acted arbitrarily, but he also lost his diligent and enterprising kindness, intoxicated with women every day, neglected government affairs, and became lazy.

On the contrary, the king of southern Xinjiang, who had just come to the capital for a long time, was very low-key, in the prince's negligence in government affairs, drunk with alcohol every day, since the beauty, he went to the palace to discuss government affairs with some ministers before dawn, and was busy until late at night before going back, the whole person looked refreshed and glorious, and many things were passed to the old emperor, he was a little incredible, and he was ready to personally inspect his two more favorite princes.

There is no comparison, there is no harm, the old emperor Nan Wuyan came to the palace before dawn, at this time the sky was not yet bright, and the outside was still intoxicated in a glimmer of morning light, but Nan Yanlie, the king of southern Xinjiang, had already come to the court early and dealt with government affairs with the officials around.

Nan Yan Lie, the king of southern Xinjiang, who was surrounded by everyone, looked very humble and polite, constantly holding a pen to record something on the table, and the old emperor who was walking on the side at this time did not disturb the hundred officials, and when he approached the people around him to kneel, he stopped him and retreated.

"Yan Lie, you're here so early!" At this time, the old emperor Nan Wuyan looked at the person in front of him, his heart was excited, he kindly held Nan Wuyan's hands, his eyes were faintly moved, he held Nan Yanlie's hand tightly and did not let go, and his eyes flashed with a trace of concern and emotion.

"Father! Erchen ...... "Nan Yanlie, the king of Southern Xinjiang, wanted to bow down, but he was stopped by the old emperor Nan Wuyan in front of him.

"You're busy, didn't the prince come? Why didn't you see Prince Nan Xuanye? Where did Xuanye go? The old emperor looked at it for a week, but he didn't find the figure of the prince Nan Xuanye, and there was a faint anger in his heart, the dissatisfaction and anger of being let down and deceived made his face very ugly, and he almost went crazy on the spot, but after thinking about it, he still endured it.

"Back to my father, the eldest brother may be unwell, I really haven't seen him come to the court these days, so many things, the emperor has been simply discussing with the officials, and when he comes, he will discuss the final decision, if it is very important and urgent, you can only be notified temporarily to decide, just when you come, it is better for your father to take a look at these few folds!"

Just when Nan Yanlie, the king of Southern Xinjiang, was about to send a few copies of the music to the hands of the old emperor Nan Wuyan, Song Shijie, the secretary of the military department who was standing on the side, immediately stood up and spoke for the crown prince Nan Xuanye: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the prince is indeed unwell, but he will come back in a few days, don't worry!" ”

"Shijie, don't speak for this rebel, I have eyes and ears on the merits, I can see and listen, all of you don't go back, stay in the hall, if you go out to report the situation today, then, don't sit down on this official, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

The old emperor Nan Wuyan had just finished speaking, and soon the chief eunuch beside the old emperor walked out, and after a while, the Imperial Forest Army quickly surrounded the palace and couldn't get through!

"You continue to discuss, and when I come back, I will see the results of your discussions, your solutions, and some interesting twists and turns, all of which will be brought up for me to consult!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the officials in the hall bowed their heads in unison and replied, at this time, no one saw the gloating in the eyes of the king of southern Xinjiang, and at this time the face of Song Shijie, the secretary of the military department, was also very ugly, this time, the prince did not take care of his baby daughter, the crown princess Song Yanran, she couldn't see anyone for more than ten days, but in the government and the opposition, the capital had already blown the message of the prince Nan Xuanye's inaction, lazy politics, and greed for wine and beauty, such a good reputation really hurt people's popularity, and hurt Nan Xuanye's reputation and career.

But this old father-in-law, Song Shijie, the secretary of the military department, still didn't do it, but entered the East Palace to meet this son-in-law, he was really anxious to lose a few hairs, and there was still no information, until today, the arrival of the old emperor, and the good performance of the king of southern Xinjiang who has been coming early and returning late for a while The news of the stark contrast between the prince Nanxuan's night has been abandoning the government and getting drunk on the morning and day has long been gone, and he is really going to cry to death! Prince Nan Xuanye, is this a brain in water?

In this critical period that Emperor Nan Wuyan attaches great importance to, did he even return the chain and smear his face, and did he still dislike that his position was not stable enough? So do you do it yourself?

At this time, there is no chance to feel sorry for this Shangshu of our military department, he wiped his sweat with his sleeves, how nervous and apprehensive, how comfortable and happy the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials opposite, Ruan Guolin and Nanyan Lie, the king of Southern Xinjiang!
