Chapter 698: Rescued
Murong Hui hurriedly returned to the East Side Hall for a meal, and then mobilized everyone to find the whereabouts of the Cheng County Lord.
However, after looking for a day, there was no news of the county lord of Cheng, and seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, Murong Hui was very anxious.
If it was night, it would be even more difficult to find someone, and when she thought of this, she stood up and changed into her regular clothes, so she had to go out with her to look for it.
"Your Highness, will the Lord of Cheng County no longer be in the palace, maybe he was sent out before the city gate was closed."
Qingyue's injuries had not fully recovered, so she was left in the palace to take care of Murong Hui.
"No, didn't she still see her companion half an hour after school in the morning? It was still three quarters of an hour's journey from the upper study to Zhengyang Palace, so she didn't have time to leave the palace at all. ”
Murong Hui firmly believed that she was still in a corner of the palace, but she had not been found yet.
At this time, Mama Zhang walked in, and Murong Hui immediately asked, "Have you checked the Jieyi Palace?" ”
Mama Zhang nodded and said respectfully: "The first thing to check is the remote palace, and the empty half of the figure in the Interpretation Palace has never appeared." ”
Hearing her say this, Murong Hui couldn't help but be a little disappointed, she originally thought that with so many people, she would soon be able to find the county lord of Cheng, but she hadn't been able to find it yet, which made her sink to the bottom.
She blocked the city gate before, and the people outside the palace didn't know about the disappearance of the county lord Cheng.
But if the gates are not opened when it gets dark, the matter will not be hidden.
"Your Highness, there is actually another place that has not been checked."
At this time, Manager Qi suddenly spoke.
Murong Hui didn't look up, he already had some guesses in his heart, in the palace, I am afraid that only the ancestral temple has not been checked.
Even if she is of her own age, she can only stand at the door during the annual worship and is not qualified to enter the ancestral temple.
What's more, it's a person like the county lord of Cheng County, who doesn't even know where the ancestral temple is.
What's more, there are special guards around the ancestral temple, each of which is selected by thousands of people, not to mention a living person on weekdays, even a fly can't fly in.
"You mean, where else haven't you checked?"
Seeing that Manager Qi was silent in the middle of his words, Qingyue asked anxiously.
She was so anxious that she didn't see that the atmosphere around her was wrong.
"The ancestral temple hasn't been checked yet."
Mr. Qi wiped his cold sweat and said with some embarrassment.
He could see that people like Murong Hui couldn't be fooled by a little trick at all.
"As a last resort, don't disturb the ancestors of the ancestral temple. Mama Huang interrogated the noble girls in the study separately, as long as she was not punished, she could use any method. ”
The county lord of Cheng only went to the study to study this year, and he is not deeply involved with the people in the palace, and most of the people who will calculate her are those who go to the study.
Mama Huang answered, and trotted all the way out of the east side hall.
"Manager Qi, who asked you to remind me to go to the Ancestral Temple?"
Murong Hui looked at it calmly, and the head of Qi, who was about to slip away, had a little smile in his eyes.
"There is no ......"
"Let's talk about it when you've got it figured!"
Murong Hui stood up violently and scolded coldly: "Could it be that I am tired of the position of the chief manager, and I want to be a little eunuch again!" ”
Murong Hui clenched her fists, only to feel that the anger in her heart had accumulated to the peak, and it was about to explode.
"It's really the little one's own thoughts, the little one should be damned, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness!"
As Mr. Qi spoke, he slapped himself, his voice was exceptionally crisp, and it hurt a little to listen to.
Murong Hui stared at her expressionlessly, knowing that she couldn't ask the result today.
She watched Manager Qi slap herself more than ten times before waving her hand and saying, "Get out." ”
If the chief manager of Qi received amnesty, he saluted and ran out quickly, and fell down once on the way.
Qing Yue looked at his embarrassed appearance, twisted her head to the side with disdain, and then comforted Murong Hui: "Your Highness, don't worry, the slave maid will go and inquire, and I will definitely be able to inquire who wants to calculate Your Highness." ”
"No need, you can rest carefully."
Murong Hui always felt that Qingyue was innocently punished because she was implicated by her, so she took special care of her.
Qingyue sighed, didn't say anything, just stood quietly aside, waiting for orders at any time.
Murong Hui stood up and paced repeatedly in the living room, glancing at the floor plan of the entire palace hanging on the wall from time to time.
After looking at it for a while, she suddenly stopped and walked a few steps to the front of the floor plan.
"Go and call Lord Huang!"
There was a bit of shock in her tone, obviously startled by her own thoughts.
When Qingyue heard this, she didn't care about the injuries on her body, and ran outside quickly.
After a while, he saw Huang Qirui walking in from outside, and he was just about to salute, but he was stopped by Murong Hui.
"Why are there only floor plans, drawings under the imperial city? I remember that there were ice cellars and other places in the palace, have you checked those places? ”
Murong Hui walked up to him in a few steps and asked quickly.
Huang Qirui couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's the minister's negligence, so I ordered someone to investigate." ”
Murong Hui nodded, and was about to go with him, when she saw Mama Huang walking in, with an obvious slap mark on her face, obviously being beaten.
"Who hit it?"
Murong Hui looked at Mama Huang expressionlessly.
"Wanning County's main hit."
Mama Huang hung her head, with a somewhat helpless look in her eyes, she had always felt that Wanning was a peaceful person.
At least it is much stronger than the previous Wanyi County Lord, but now it seems that this scheming is deeper and more difficult to deal with.
"No matter what, you can't let them go, just lock them up if you don't tell the truth."
Murong Hui is not afraid of them spilling this time, before she finds the county lord of Cheng, there will definitely be trouble in letting them out of the palace, although she doesn't know what trouble there will be, but there will be endless troubles in the end.
Mama Huang answered, and left quickly with the jade paste given by Murong Hui.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince and the second prince also followed them to the ice cellar, isn't it appropriate?"
At this time, Qingyue ran back, wiped the sweat on the top of her head and said.
"What's wrong? This imperial city will belong to one of them after all, where can they go? ”
Murong Hui was a little surprised, they had been staying in the study before, and she thought that they would not be involved in this matter.
But after thinking about it, these two are the princes of the Eight Classics, and there are some things that the two of them come forward, but they are more justified.
Murong Hui asked Qingyue to rest in the palace, while she took a few palace people and hurried towards the direction of the ice cellar.
Halfway through, she suddenly remembered a place, this place was behind Fengyi Palace, an underground secret room.
In the past, Murong Jing had cultivated several shade-loving plants, which were placed in that secret room.
Not many people know about this place, even Huang Qirui doesn't know either.
Thinking of this, Murong Hui immediately stopped, walked back quickly, and rushed straight to the secret room.
Several palace people glanced at each other blankly, and then quickly followed.
Murong Hui took the lead in running to the big tree, pointed to one of the positions and said to the palace people, "Go find the tools and dig up this place." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Zhouzi hurriedly went to Fengyi Palace to find a shovel, and quickly dug it up, and dug out a door in a short time.
This door is so hidden that if you don't look closely, you won't notice it at all.
After opening the door, Murong Hui jumped down first, and quickly walked inside with a torch.
She'd been down more than once, so she could walk smoothly even in the dim light.
The space below is not large, at most the size of a dormitory, and in the place closest to the inside, there are a few wooden boards, and at this time the county lord of Cheng is lying on the wooden board.
"A few of you take the board and carry her out. Go and get a doctor. Xiao Zhouzi went to inform Lord Huang of them, and the county lord of Cheng found it. ”
Murong Hui went to probe the county lord's snort and made sure that she was still alive, so he breathed a sigh of relief and commanded everyone.
The people who were originally stupid came back to their senses and walked out with the planks in their hands.
After everyone dispersed, only Qingyue remained by her side.
Murong Hui held the torch, looked at the already empty secret room, remembered the time when he and Murong Jing studied flowers and plants here, and couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously, it hasn't been long yet, but it's already a thing.
"Your Highness, it looks like this place has just been built."
At this time, Qingyue leaned over to the wall and whispered.
Murong Hui walked over quickly, and sure enough, he found that the mud on the wall had not yet dried, and it was obvious that someone had broken through the wall, brought the county lord of Cheng in, and then built the wall and left.
Such a lot of work is certainly not done by one person.
"Get a few people to get this wall out of the way and see what's in the back."
After withdrawing his hand, Murong Hui swept towards the surrounding walls and said lightly.
Qing Yue answered, and walked out quickly, Murong Hui walked around the secret room a few times, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the dark lattice of the wall.
She remembered that this was the place where Murong Jing put it casually and planted flowers, and when she opened the secret compartment, she saw that the notes were still inside.
She was so excited that she hurriedly took out the notes and put them in her pocket, her heartbeat accelerating.
When the incident happened suddenly, when she knew that Murong Jing had committed suicide, it was too late to rush to the Qinzheng Palace.
This also caused her to never even see the last side of Murong Jing, and naturally she never got the relics.
This is definitely a pity for her, and now that she can get Murong Jing's notes, the regret in her heart has calmed down a little.
"Your Highness, there is a lot of dust down there, so the slave will send you back first."
At this time, Qingyue walked down and saw that Murong Hui was still standing in place, and said respectfully.
Murong Hui came to his senses at this time, and after going up, he hurried to Ningcui Palace to check on the situation of the county lord of Cheng.
As soon as the imperial physician had given Cheng County a pulse, he saw Murong Hui walk in.
"Returning to His Royal Highness, the county lord of Cheng County was hit on the head with a heavy object, causing a severe coma and no internal injuries. The minister has already prescribed medicine to the county lord, and the county lord has no worries about his life for the time being, but ...... Whether you can wake up or not depends on the creation of the county lord. ”
This is the judge of the Tai Hospital, and he said so, there is definitely no room for turnaround.
