Chapter 125: Provocation
Two days later, the news of Mu Chuan's disappearance began to spread, and Gu Miaoxuan naturally couldn't sit still, because since Mu Chuan didn't show up in the morning court the next day, the surrounding officials were talking about it.
"Have you ever met Makikawa-sama?"
"No, I heard that I didn't come back after going out one day, so I guess it's because of official business."
Even the emperor thought that he was busy with other things, so he didn't ask more.
However, as time went by, Gu Miaoxuan couldn't sit still, because at such a time, many officials who wanted Bai Jie Muchuan came to the door one after another, but they were rejected by Gu Miaoxuan's absence.
At this time, I saw Master Shangshu come to the door in person, and Gu Miaoxuan had no choice but to invite him in.
"Madam, please forgive me for the trouble, I came this time to find Lord Makikawa." After Shangshu finished speaking, he offered the gift, and then looked around, looking for Makikawa's figure.
Gu Miaoxuan was a little embarrassed, because she didn't know where Mu Chuan was now, but if she told Shang Shu like this, it was estimated that he wouldn't believe it.
"Lord Shangshu is polite, my husband has been busy with official business during this time, and he hasn't come back for several days, if anything happens, when he comes back, I will definitely send someone to inform Lord Shangshu." Gu Miaoxuan explained to Shang Shu.
Seeing the Makikawa family, Lord Shangshu was a little pity, but if the gift just now was taken back, it would be a little unreasonable.
"That's it, this is what Lord Makikawa asked me to find, so I'll put it here first, and if he comes back, please pass it on on my behalf." After Shang Shu finished speaking, he got up and left.
After sending away Shangshu, Gu Miaoxuan opened the box, and sure enough, it was a treasure inside, but what puzzled him was why he hadn't appeared until now, could it be that something had happened?
Thinking of this, Gu Miaoxuan felt that something was wrong, so she went into the palace to find the emperor.
"Your Majesty, your sons and daughters have something to ask for." Gu Miaoxuan knelt down and said.
Although the relationship between the two is different now, in front of outsiders, what it should be like still has to be done.
"Oh? What happened to be so panicked? The emperor put down the book in his hand and asked.
"Muchuan, since he went out last time, he hasn't come back, it's been a few days, if the emperor knows where he is, I hope to let him know." Gu Miaoxuan said with a sob.
"Your Majesty, did you send him out to deal with official business?" The queen on the side asked.
The emperor recalled, "No, the last official business was a long time ago, when Muchuan was still early in the morning, and then he went back." ”
Gu Miaoxuan naturally didn't dare to say what happened that night, if others knew that she was the last person to see Mu Chuan, then her own suspicion would be the greatest, so she pretended to be innocent before the insider told the emperor.
"Could it be that the rumors out there are true?" Gu Xiqian covered her head and said in surprise.
The emperor asked in surprise: "Rumors? What rumors? ”
"Before Muchuan had an accident, someone said that the prince of Yunnan had returned, and now Muchuan's disappearance must have something to do with him!" Gu Miaoxuan said excitedly.
The emperor was speechless for a moment, Mu Chuan also said such things before, but then he searched and searched, and he didn't find it, and now it's her turn to say such things, and the emperor has a feeling that he was fooled by them.
"I have already stepped up my efforts according to Muchuan's intentions, it is impossible for the prince of Yunnan to sneak in, besides, I can't find anything in this search, right?" The emperor asked rhetorically.
Gu Miaoxuan was speechless for a moment, it was true that she had even searched Gu Xiqian's room, but she was still uneasy, it seemed that Mo Xuanyin was in this capital.
"The son has said a lot, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Gu Miaoxuan understood what the emperor meant, and left the hall after saying goodbye.
After watching Gu Miaoxuan walk away, the queen on the side shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, Muchuan's people can't be trusted, this Gu Miaoxuan looks like a person with a bad heart, or the emperor don't listen to it." ”
The emperor is also a little upset, now the Makikawa couple is trying to control the entire court, and their status is also in the ascendant, and now there is such a trouble, obviously it is also good and bad for him.
Fortunately, someone temporarily suppressed Mu Chuan, as long as Mu Chuan didn't come out, he would have time to prepare, but what he was most afraid of was that the person who suppressed it was Mo Xuanyin.
However, Makikawa has also disappeared for a long time, and if he doesn't do some superficial work, he can't make sense.
Then he waved his hand and beckoned his father-in-law and said: "Pass the order, the whole city is looking for people, and you must find Muchuan." ”
"Yes."
The next day, the news of Mu Chuan's disappearance also spread in the capital, and the soldiers patrolling the street began to ask from door to door with Mu Chuan's portrait, and even Gu Miaoxuan personally took the portrait and asked the people.
"Big brother, have you ever seen the person in the portrait? He is my husband. Gu Miaoxuan asked excitedly.
"Isn't this Makikawa-sama? I haven't seen it though. ”
"Remember, if you find it when the time comes, there will definitely be a big reward." Gu Miaoxuan said excitedly.
However, many people's answers are like this, knowing that the person in front of them is Makikawa, but they don't know where he has gone.
Later, Gu Miaoxuan basically did not let go of Qinglou, gambling houses and other places, but no one there had ever seen Muchuan, and even the people who went in and out there were asked by Gu Miaoxuan, but there was still no news of Muchuan.
Back at the palace, Gu Miaoxuan was a little helpless, but this was not a good thing for her, although there was a loss.
"In that case, my suspicion must have been cleared." Gu Miaoxuan looked at the portrait placed on the surface and said.
In the past two days, Gu Miaoxuan has basically been outside to inquire about Muchuan's news, and the people accompanying her have sighed when they see Gu Miaoxuan like this, and these praises are the best justification for her.
Although there is no news of Mu Chuan yet, she is also ready to be without Mu Chuan, now her position is very solid, Mu Chuan is just a shield for her after the accident, even if there is no him, she still has the emperor's handle as a gold medal to avoid death, for her, the loss is not too serious.
The disappearance of Mu Chuan spread all over the capital, and naturally it also reached Gu Xiqian's ears, and she probably had the answer to Mu Chuan's matter, that is, Mo Xuanyin's actions in front of her, but she didn't ask too much, because the most important thing was that Mu Chuan was already under her control.
Mo Xuanyin on the side, listening to the news that Liuyun had been inquiring about in the past few days, and achieving such an effect made him laugh.
"It looks like it's almost time." Mo Xuanyin sighed.
Gu Xiqian walked to Mo Xuanyin's side, "What do you mean by time?" ”
"It's time for you to go see him." Mo Xuanyin said.
Mo Xuanyin instructed Liuyun to prepare, and the two of them put on their face masks and came to the deserted Shizi's Mansion with Gu Xiqian.
Along the way, in order to test the face mask, Mo Xuanyin also deliberately came to Gu Xiqian to walk around, and after confirming that there was no problem, he swaggered to the Shizi Mansion.
"I didn't expect that you guys got into the capital with such a thing, I really didn't expect it." Gu Xiqian touched Mo Xuanyin's face mask and sighed.
"Originally, I didn't have such an idea, but what happened to Lin Yiliu before made me understand the importance of the face mask, so I specially ordered someone to build it after I went back, no, I don't look like Mo Xuanyin now, right?" Mo Xuanyin pointed to his mask and said proudly.
After coming to the Shizi Mansion, Gu Xiqian looked at the scene inside, it was only ten days, and the things inside seemed to have been baptized for several months, the trees were not pruned and became messy, and the tables and chairs outside were also covered with dust because they were not cleaned, and the dilapidated scene made people feel embarrassed.
After coming to the back garden, Mo Xuanyin looked left and right, only to see one of the rockeries turned, only to see a slight rumbling sound nearby, and an authentic entrance appeared in front of Gu Xiqian.
Gu Xiqian said in surprise: "What? How could this be? ”
"This tunnel was specially built by someone when I was still in Shizifu, and it is also from Yunnan Kingdom, so no one has known about it all this time." Mo Xuanyin generally went down and explained.
I saw that there was only one passage inside, and there were two rooms next to it, one of which was guarded by two people.
"His Royal Highness!" After the two saw Mo Xuanyin, they saluted one after another.
"Are the people inside alright?" Mo Xuanyin asked.
"I can't die, don't worry, Your Highness, we don't feel sorry for him at all." One of them replied.
When I walked into the secret room, I saw Makikawa tied up inside, sneering at the people who walked in.
"Oh? What is the wind that blows His Royal Highness here? Makikawa said as he looked at the person in front of him.
However, what he wanted to see was not Mo Xuanyin in front of him, but the person next to him, Gu Xiqian.
"Gu Xiqian, why are you here?" Makikawa asked with some surprise.
"Of course I'm here, because it's thanks to you!" Gu Xiqian said coldly.
Mo Xuanyin also asked straight to the point: "Mu Chuan, why are you doing this, what are your intentions for her?" ”
Looking at Mo Xuanyin's excited expression, Mu Chuan understood what he meant.
"Me and her, in our last life, were very close to each other, that kind of relationship, you can't imagine." Mu Chuan sneered and said every word, as if he wanted to stimulate Mo Xuanyin.
Gu Xiqian couldn't refute it, because he was indeed dead set on Mu Chuan in his previous life, but all of this turned into endless hatred after his death.
"But think about it, it's been so long, you two don't have a round house yet, I think it's because of the things in your previous life, in this way, Mo Xuanyin, you really don't want to lose face! Hahaha..."
