Chapter 279: Xiao Mumu is taken captive
On May 17 of the first year of Yongning, Ning Ke ascended the throne as the queen of Xishu, known as Emperor Yongning, and was the first queen in the history of Xishu to be jointly recommended by the ministers!
On that day, the sky is clear, the beautiful scenery of the good day, a faction and festive, not only the palace is full of lights, flowers are paved all the way, even the road outside the palace is also sprinkled and cleaned clean and tidy, the ribbons are fluttering everywhere, thousands of people are empty, the common people kneel on both sides of the street early, and bow in the direction of the palace.
When the auspicious time came, the bells and drums rang, and all the officials knelt down and shouted-
"Welcome to the throne of the new emperorโ"
In the cheers that shocked the sky, in the laying of salute flowers, a thin and slender figure slowly appeared at Fengtianmen, the sunlight was sprinkled like broken gold and silver powder, shining everything a little illusory, like a goddess walking out of the aurora, with dazzling light, noble and compelling!
Baiguan only glanced at it, and was forced to open his eyes by that powerful aura, and he couldn't straighten his waist!
This is the queen! This is the future prince of Xishu!
Ning Ke walked from the gate of the vermilion palace with his head up, the queen's dragon robe with crimson and black edges, the front placket was heavily embroidered with a flying phoenix, and the long skirt behind him was winding to the ground, and a black dragon was floating on it!
Between walking, the dragon and phoenix on her body seem to be flying and circling, and different sunlight and different angles will show different patterns, and those who see it with their own eyes are all shocked and amazed!
From far and near, the cold and noble queen stepped on the carpet of flowers, and walked towards the black figure on the steps without squinting, and he stretched out his hand and waited for her in a welcoming posture.
That's her husband, and it's also Emperor Dayan, her boss!
He supported and cared for her all the way, and today, she is finally full of wings and soars to 90,000 miles!
From now on, she can do without his protection, and she can also become a powerful force behind him!
Ten meters.
Nine meters.
......
Three meters.
There were still two meters away, and she looked at Chu Junyue fixedly, and her lips curved to show a relieved smile.
That smile is like the sun of winter snow, melting the ice in an instant, melting in his wandering waves, and turning into spring.
Chu Junyue's heart moved, he had never seen her with such a contradictory aura, obviously wearing a red dragon robe was cold and sharp, but her gaze at him was so gentle, like soft water slowly left in his heart, stirring a spring pool.
He swallowed, couldn't hold back his steps any longer, stepped forward quickly, and grasped her soft little hand.
"Little Ke'er ......"
Ning Ke's eyes slowly lifted from the golden jade tassel of the crown, and her reflection was even more dazzling, she smiled slightly, her red lips and teeth were moving.
She looked into his eyes and smiled, "Look, we're finally dressed as a couple." โ
Such an occasion suddenly came to such a sentence, Chu Junyue was slightly stunned at first, and then looked down at the dragon robe with red on a black background on his body, and then looked at her long skirt with a red background and black edges.
"It's good that such a high-level couple outfit is not afraid of others following suit. He dotingly sorted out the tassels in her crown and smiled gently.
Ning Ke raised his chin proudly, "That's nature, I personally asked people to do it!"
If she hadn't just ascended the throne now, she would be worried that these old antiques would not be able to stand it, and she would like to make the dragon robe into the style of a cheongsam, just like Fan Bingbing walking the red carpet, simple and domineering!
"Come, I'll take you to the altar. โ
Chu Junyue was sympathetic to the heavy clothes on her body, and deliberately held her hand so that she could lean on him to share some of the weight.
The officials below watched from a distance, although they couldn't hear what they were saying, but the gesture of holding hands and the harmoniously matched dragon robe made people feel very sweet and affectionate!
This is the blessing of Xishu! With Dayan as a backer, who would dare to bully Xishu?!
Presiding over the enthronement hall was still Peng Ge Lao, who meticulously stood by the altar in a navy blue official robe, watching Ning Ke come over with Chu Junyue's support, and the old man's eyes were also filled with tears.
It wasn't until Ning Ke walked up to him that he took a deep breath and shouted solemnly,
"The Queen's Enthronement Hall begins!"
The enthronement hall is more complicated than the form of the princess's canonization, but it is also similar to the process in ancient Chinese history, which is nothing more than the ...... of sealing Zen and worshipping the sky, worshipping the heavens with hundreds of officials, ascending the throne, and passing on the jade seal.
Ning Ke had a heavy crown on his head, and it was inconvenient to move in a long skirt, he was already so tired that he was about to collapse, and he was finally able to sit on the dragon seat, and the whole person seemed to be alive.
"Bear with me, it'll be over soon. Chu Junyue stood beside her, his big hand gently brushed her wrist, and a gentle true qi continued to enter, Ning Ke trembled, and his spirit was gone!
The veteran Peng Ge turned a blind eye to the scene of showing affection above his head, and sang loudly with his eyes and nose and heart: "Licheng-"
"Wechen participate in Her Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"
......
Listening to that shout, Ning Ke's exhaustion was swept away, and her whole body was agitated, and she raised her hands emptyly, "Zhu Aiqing is flat!"
"Thank you, Lord Longnโ"
After the hundred officials bowed, the music started, and the monarchs and ministers celebrated together!
Chu Junyue turned his head sideways, took her hand and smiled, "Xiao Ke'er, for the rest of your life, you will see the world to the end, and it will be in vain." โ
"Don't worry, I will always accompany you and travel thousands of miles!"
She smiled, and her red lips said ambitious!
At that time, it was just said in response to the situation, but I didn't expect it to be a prophecy in the end, of course, that is all a later story.
After ascending the throne during the day, the edict was announced to the world, and Ning Ke wanted to rebuild a new country, so he granted amnesty to the world, and the whole world celebrated. At night, the palace held a banquet in the flowing water palace, and invited hundreds of officials to congratulate together.
Xishu, which has been silent for many years, has finally slowly recovered its vitality and awakened from this desolate land because of the arrival of the new queen!
The officials also seemed to see the bright future of Xishu, and that night, they all drank with their bellies open, and they didn't get drunk or return.
And in the inconspicuous corner, King Xian and King Ping's eyes came together gloomily, muttering that he didn't know what to say, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.
Ning Ke had blood in her body, she didn't drink, so she was still very sober at this time, and instinctively felt that someone was looking at her, and when she raised her head, she happened to meet the smiling gaze of King Xian.
She frowned, she was furious by his eyes, and she was vaguely uneasy in her heart, these two have been divided in the past few days, she is going to ascend the throne, and they have no objection at all.
There must be a reason for something that goes wrong.
Perhaps, it was something she overlooked, she didn't think that these two careerists would give up because of this!
"What's wrong?" Chu Junyue noticed that her face was wrong, and gently squeezed her hand, "Are you tired?"
Ning Ke shook his head, and then nodded again, "Okay, let's go back to the palace! I haven't seen Xiao Mumu for a day, so I miss him so much." โ
"Me too. โ
The two of them simply said to the hundred officials, and then left the table and returned to the palace, who would have thought that before they reached the door, a figure staggered out and fell into Ning Ke's arms.
"Presumptuous!"
Chu Junyue's face sank, and he subconsciously took out his palm and slashed towards the top of the person's head.
"Wait!" Ning Ke stopped him with one hand, "It's Qingqiang." โ
"Woo woo......" Qingqiang raised her head from Ning Ke's arms, and when she saw that it was the two of them, she cried even more fiercely, and knelt on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed busily, "Woo woo woo woo, Your Majesty! The prince has been kidnapped! Please execute the slave and maid! The slave and maid should die!"
Ning Ke's body shook and his lips trembled, "You...... What do you say......."
Chu Junyue held Ning Ke, his face instantly darkened, he grabbed Qingqiang, approached her, gritted his teeth and asked, "You make it clear!
"The prince was kidnapped! The slave maid had just bathed the prince and was about to coax him to sleep, but he was knocked unconscious...... Qingqiang cried breathlessly, with a guilty face, "When the slave and maid wake up, the prince will be gone long ago......"
Chu Junyue clenched his fists, and while issuing an order to order people to block the exits, he rushed in with Ning Ke with a bleak face, but everything was as usual in the dormitory, and there was not even a trace of fighting and struggling!
Ning Ke is a prosecutor in modern times, and her investigation of these crime scenes is better than these ancients, she held back her tears and asked Chu Junyue to put her down.
"Little Ke'er ......"
Chu Junyue looked worried, Ning Ke pursed his lips, trembling, but firm, "Let me down! No matter what, I have to get Xiao Mumu back!"
But as soon as Chu Junyue put her down, she almost fell to the ground with a stumble, her face became even paler, Chu Junyue hurriedly helped her, "Xiao Ke'er......"
Ning Ke pushed him away, staggered to Xiao Mumu's cradle and looked around carefully, touched it here, sniffed it, and then went around the whole palace, Chu Junyue didn't know what she was doing, and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand the grief in her heart, so she followed behind.
"There was no fight...... The people who came knew martial arts, and there were basically no traces left in the house, but there was dust on the ground under the windowsill, which could be the ...... of the intruder."
Chu Junyue nodded in agreement. Ning Ke quickly ran outside the dormitory again, and swept around with cold eyes, "What about the guards on duty!"
Qingqiang wiped a handful of tears and choked up, "I don't know...... The slave didn't see it. โ
Ning Ke pursed his lips and walked to the garden outside the dormitory to search it, everything was normal, and there was no trace of a fight. Still, she found several sets of footprints with different patterns on the ground, and very little white powder on the flowers and leaves.
"In the lake!"
Ning Ke stood up, her face became even more cold, she didn't need to look to know that the guards must have drowned.
The intruder did not have a confrontation with the guards, but ambushed them in the garden, and when the patrolling guards passed by, they poisoned the guards to death and threw them into the lake.
Once there are no guards, there will be no protection in the dormitory, and it will naturally be easy to take away Xiao Mumu.
Soon, Chu Junyue's people went to the lake and fished out the corpses of the patrol guards, many of them.
Ning Ke glanced at it and didn't start, the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't stop flowing down anymore, Chu Junyue was distressed, and reached out to wipe her, but she suddenly became angry and pushed him away.
"Where's your hidden guard! You keep saying that you will protect Xiao Mumu, but where is your hidden guard!"
Chu Junyue opened his mouth, speechless.
He didn't know where the hidden guard went, he had always believed that the hidden guard's ability was enough to protect their mother and son, but he didn't expect to be kidnapped under his nose.
