Chapter 98 was not surprised at all
It's just that after such a toss, after the imperial doctor was busy with everything, it was already after nightfall, and it happened that Bo Zhaoxu was also playing chess with the old emperor, and he was delayed for a while, so that the imperial doctor was about to forget what was wrong with the old lady.
"Your Royal Highness, the old lady of Xiangfu is fine."
The queen, who was sitting on the side and watching the excitement, glanced at it curiously: "What's wrong with this old lady of Xiangfu?" How does this palace remember that this old lady of Xiangfu has nothing to do with the fourth highness, why is the fourth highness still thinking about the old lady of Xiangfu now? It's a rarity. β
"The queen doesn't know, today is the birthday of the old lady, and the old lady and the princess of the king went to the mountains to pray for blessings, but there was an illness halfway, so she quickly sent the old lady back."
"No wonder, thenβthe fourth princess is back? Why didn't you see her enter the palace and sit down? "The queen has a partner and is looking for a topic," she really agreed, she promised to come to the palace often to walk around the palace earlier, but this trance, I haven't seen her for a few days......"
The imperial doctor was about to retreat, but he was knocked to the ground by the strong man who rushed towards him, and he almost fainted.
The strong man was the coachman who sent the old lady out of Beijing, and saw him fall to the ground with a frightened face, shouting: "King, lord! Something happened! Slave, the slave was going back to the mountain to pick up the princess just now, but found that the princess was not on the mountain at all, and it seemed that something had happened......"
Everyone in the audience stopped talking, and their faces changed.
The chess pieces picked up by Bo Zhaoxu's fingertips fell into the chessboard, and then fell to the ground with the collision, just like Bo Zhaoxu's state of mind at this time.
He knew it was all planned for Nightshade.
However, after listening to the coachman's words, Bo Zhaoxu was still slightly distracted.
The old emperor looked unhurried: "Who allowed you to break in rashly?" Reckless, what a system! What the hell is going on, you say slowly. β
"Yes, yes!"
The coachman was frightened for a moment, and after kowtowing to the old emperor several times in a row, he began to explain in a bad way: "The slave sent the old lady back to the palace, and estimated that the time should be almost up, so he rushed back to the foot of Qingze Mountain to pick up the princess back to Beijing, and went up the mountain to ask, only to hear the master in the temple say, princess, the princess has not been on the mountain at all today!" And said, and said..."
"What the hell did you say?"
The old emperor was already very dissatisfied with his stumbling tone, and he was even more impatient at this time.
"It is also said that the gang of bandits in the suburbs of Beijing happened to break into the foot of Qingze Mountain today, robbed a lot of things from the people under the mountain, and also kidnapped a very dignified official wife! Wearing a lotus pink dress, and his appearance is extremely outstanding, a minion, a minion, a minion is only afraid of ......"
He didn't talk about it now, and others understood what he meant.
The reference in the words is nothing more than that Xiang Yeqi encountered a mistake on that part of the road, and was captured by bandits who "just happened" to cause trouble, and now his life and death are uncertain.
If Bo Zhaoxu hadn't been particularly concerned about this matter, I'm afraid he would have really believed it.
At that time, in Partridge Prefecture, he transferred two ordinary guards to Xiang Yeqi, and today he transferred to Xiang Yeqi, but they are enough guards to compare with the palace attendants.
It is more than enough to suppress a bandit's den.
But he believes that Xiang Yeqi will be fine, others may not think like this, especially the old emperor who doesn't care about Yeqi's life or death: "When this kind of thing happens, it's her life is not good, it's just that, it's okay, if something really happens, I will give her a posthumous fate!" But it wouldn't be a good thing if he came back alive......"
The meaning of the emperor's words is really a little disgusting.
It was not yet determined that the one who was captured was Xiang Yeqi, and he was worried that Xiang Yeqi would lose his royal face because of tonight's incident.
Because it is too affectionate, no one wants to take it.
But everything has to be done except for the rumor concubine who is bent on stepping on the two feet of the night at the moment, she smiled and said: "It seems that the fourth princess is really hard, I heard that today is still his father's birthday, how did he encounter this!" Hey, but if the concubine encounters this, the concubine bites her tongue, and she won't leave a cheap life to return to Beijing, but I'm afraid that if I return to Beijing, I won't be used anymore......"
What Concubine Rumor said really angered Bo Zhaoxu, and he retorted quietly: "It's better for Concubine Rumor to be cautious when she speaks, so as not to cause trouble from her mouth, isn't it?" β
Bo Zhaoxu snorted lightly.
"It's getting late, so the sons won't stay in the palace longer, and the father will take care."
Looking at the back of Bo Zhaoxu who was dissatisfied with leaving, the old emperor was dissatisfied again: "Why can't anyone say it?" Could it be that I want everyone to know that my royal family of Dahua Kingdom is willing to keep a princess who has had such a thing? β
But the matter is still undecided.
The rumor concubine is "wide-hearted", obviously defending Bo Zhaoxu, but the metaphor in her words is still sarcastic to Yeqi: "The Fourth Highness may not be able to stand this blow for a while, so he refuses to accept it!" The concubine thought that her fourth princess was also a person who knew the times, so she fled to a distant place to make a living, and she would not return to Beijing to let people poke her backbone. β
But she really didn't know enough about Xiang Yeqi.
In the end, Bo Zhaoxu rushed back to the house with three points of concern, lest the woman Xiang Yeqi really didn't take his life seriously, but he didn't expect that it was true that his life was not true, but the picture was different from what he imagined......
I don't know where the dress Xiang Yeqi wore when he went out, and now he is wearing a dark dress and climbing the high wall of his house, and he has made a posture of being a thief when he returns home.
"Why, stole into this king's palace?"
Bo Zhaoxu casually picked up the bamboo pole next to the wall and knocked on the eaves of the wall three or two, urging this woman who only knew that she was full of worries.
"How dare you." Xiang Yeqi hugged his fists very exaggeratedly and arched his hand to Bo Zhaoxu to "say hello", "Who doesn't know that your palace is heavily guarded, and even a fly can't fly in, who dares to come and steal things?" Besides, if the concubine takes his own things, it's not called stealing, right? Right? β
Xiang Yeqi was originally a little afraid of heights, but now that Bo Zhaoxu was teasing himself underneath, Xiang Yeqi was indeed relieved, and his heart jumped into Bo Zhaoxu's arms.
"If this king doesn't follow you, the princess will live on a four-wheeled bicycle for the rest of her life." Bo Zhaoxu teased him again.
"If the princess hadn't carried the prince out of the country to find Langzhong, the prince would have had the lower half of his body, and I was afraid that he would have to rely on me to push the four-wheeled bicycle out to bask in the sun." Xiang Yeqi imitated Bo Zhaoxu's tone in a similar way, "There are other people's eyeliner around the prince, isn't this also a good idea, otherwise whoever wants to climb the wall and go home is really tired......"
"You're not surprised at all?"
Xiang Yeqi patted the soil on the corner of his clothes, and looked at Bo Zhaoxu in a little surprise and raised his eyebrows.
She originally thought that Bo Zhaoxu would at least be somewhat shocked by this incident, but she never expected that this person would be as calm as herself, and it was not like he had known about it for a long time.
That's commonplace.
"Go in and say." Xiang Yeqi pushed people back to the courtyard together, "To tell you the truth, I almost couldn't come back today, but fortunately nothing happened." β
"What the hell is going on?" Bo Zhaoxu asked.
Xiang Yeqi patiently explained to others: "After I asked the coachman to send the old lady back to the house, I found that today was obviously a good day to worship the Buddha, but there was no one on the side of the mountain, so I felt a little strange. Later, I met Mrs. Xue, who had helped us earlier, and she was wearing clothes that looked like me, at least the same color......"
"I thought that Mrs. Xue wouldn't be too careful about dressing up, but she was very concerned about colliding with me, for fear that I would be displeased and make a feud with you, Lord Wang. So she invited me to drink tea in the carriage, which was a loss, and it happened that I had spilled some tea on my clothes, so she borrowed me a dress to wear. When the two of us got off the carriage, we met a group of bandits, who said that they wanted to tie me up, but they recognized Mrs. Xue's clothes. β
The meaning of these words is clear.
Xiang Yeqi got up very early today, and even those peddlers and pawns who were trying to support their families did not go out on the streets, how could others see what clothes they were wearing? Besides, she never got out of the carriage from beginning to end.
The only plausible inference is that there is someone else's eyeliner in the mansion, what clothes she is wearing today, what time she leaves the palace, and she is explained to the mastermind behind the scenes.
"It's okay to have nothing to do, otherwise this king will raze the Qingze Mountain and Xiangfu, and let them give an explanation. What happened to Mrs. Xue? β
It is not so much that Bo Zhaoxu is asking Mrs. Xue how it is, but how the gang of bandits who kidnapped Mrs. Xue is.
The Xue family is stationed on the border defense line all the year round, as long as the Xue family is still there, the nearby Tatars will never dare to enter the city to offend, after all, outside the Beidi Pass, the Xue family is like a bandit in the eyes of others. In particular, General Xue and his wife's temperament of fierce and good deeds is well known.
"Well, it's not easy to say too bluntly, it's a little boring......"
Xiang Yeqi seemed to think of something, and laughed dryly twice in a dilemma.
"At the latest, after noon tomorrow, you will be able to hear the follow-up of this matter, this matter is not big or small, maybe it will go into the palace, and there will definitely be a lively look at it then."
"In your opinion, does this matter have anything to do with Xiang Fu?"
Bo Zhaoxu's words calmed down the smiling Xiang Yeqi, as if he had given some extremely severe order, which was really a little nervous.
However, Xiang Yeqi is by no means an ordinary person.
"It's hard to say, Xiang Old Lady Xu knows a little, but she may not know that the consequences will be so severe, maybe the other party has given her some benefits, so that she feels that after the matter is completed, Xiang Fu can ascend to the sky in one step. It's just that she is a little confused, and she doesn't know that this matter will involve the entire Xiang Mansion. β
The so-called benefits may be some kind of power and wealth, or maybe an official and a half-job.
Ordinary people either think it is ridiculous or tempting, but for the old lady Xiang, who is eager to make the Xiang Mansion look good again, each one is full of temptation.
