Chapter 340: The Treacherous Plan Succeeds
There was no delay in reporting and finding someone, and the two palace people immediately divided into two ways. One went to find the nearest palace maids and guards to help find Bai Su, and the other went to report the emperor's disappearance to the queen mother.
This imperial garden is a good place for nobles to play, but on weekdays, not to mention the palace maids and guards, even the female officials with grades on their bodies usually do not come. First, because of busy affairs, and secondly, because of the fear of colliding with the masters of the palaces.
The eunuch who was looking for someone was looking for Bai Su and asked the people he met along the way to look for him, but after a while, he was able to call five or six palace maids and eunuchs.
A palace maid of a slightly lower grade followed and searched for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Father-in-law, we are about to go through the entire imperial garden, and we haven't seen the emperor's figure yet, is it that he has run out of the game greedily?" ”
"Let's find this end from that end, we've seen the entrances on both sides, even if Your Majesty wants to go out, you will always run into it!"
The eunuch who took the lead in finding someone was originally anxious and afraid, and when he heard her say this, he immediately wanted to reprimand her. It's just that before he could continue, he suddenly remembered that there was indeed a place he hadn't looked for, so he quickly slapped his head and shouted, "It's broken!" ”
He and this group of palace people have searched for so many places, and now only the pool where Bai Su fell into the water last time has not been seen. He originally thought that the little emperor should have a shadow after falling into the water once, and no matter how bad it was, he would not run there alone, so he didn't think of where to look for it for a while.
The eunuch was so anxious that he hurried back with a group of people and others, and went straight to the pool where Bai Su had fallen into the water before. When the group of people rushed to the edge of the pool out of breath, they didn't see Bai Su, but they saw the water that had not yet calmed down, and a bright yellow corner of clothes not far from the shore.
“…… Finished! ”
The eunuch who was looking for him was like ashes, and he fell to the ground. At this time, even the palace maid who had just opened her mouth to complain was speechless, as if she was greatly frightened, staring at the corner of the clothes that seemed to be sinking a little bit.
In the end, it was the eunuch who came back to his senses first, and hurriedly urged a few people who knew how to jump into the pool: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and go down to catch people!" ”
He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. In case of...... What if it's just drowning and passing out? As long as the person is saved, his head can be rested intact on his neck, and at most he will suffer a little flesh and skin.
Such a thought seems to be contagious, after his roar, all the palace maids and eunuchs invariably thought of this, so regardless of whether the water is good or not, they all picked up the corners of their clothes and jumped down.
Zhuo Siyi looked at the mess from a distance in the pavilion not far away, and a sneer curled up on his lips, like mockery, and as if he was a little complacent.
She reached out and pinched the delicate pastry on the table, but she didn't put it in her mouth, her fingertips crushed it with a force, and she didn't know who she was saying to whom: "Sure enough, as long as the master is stupid enough, his people will not be able to get on the table either." It's not in vain that this palace has waited so long to see such a wonderful scene. ”
She was still worried that Bai Su's struggle when she fell into the water would quickly attract people nearby, so she found a nearby pavilion, thinking that if he was rescued, she might find a perfect excuse to clear up the relationship. But he didn't expect that it wasn't until Bai Su had lost his voice and sank to the bottom of the water that the eunuch in charge of searching for people remembered that there was such a place.
"What's the matter, one by one in the Imperial Garden, crying wolves, what kind of system!"
A slightly old voice came, and the short sentence was full of rebuke.
Zhuo Siyi and everyone over there looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw the Queen Mother in gorgeous clothes walking briskly by a grandmother. Although the years have left a lot of traces on this former beauty, the sense of oppression of the person in power has never been reduced.
Except for Zhuo Siyi, who was far away, the palace maids and eunuchs who were still on the shore knelt on the ground, and asked the Queen Mother for peace with trembling all over: "See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
"Alright, get up!"
The Queen Mother's tone was quite impatient, she glanced at the palace people kneeling on the ground with dissatisfaction, and then asked, "Didn't someone report to the mourning family that the emperor was missing?" You don't go to the good life to look for it, what are you doing here? ”
As soon as her words came out, the group of palace maids and eunuchs seemed to be frightened, and their already trembling bodies couldn't help but tremble again. Several people didn't dare to speak, and finally the grandmother who followed the queen mother began to urge, and the eunuch who was originally serving Bai Su finally opened his mouth tremblingly and told the little emperor about falling into the water again.
"Waste...... A bunch of rubbish! ”
The Queen Mother was so angry that her hands were shaking, and it took a lot of effort for the grandmother who was supporting her to hold the person.
"What are you still doing in a daze, go down and find it! Find them all! If something happens to the emperor, the mourning family will definitely not spare you! ”
Although Bai Su is not her biological child, he is the most perfect puppet emperor she has chosen by thousands of people, and he is the only one. If something happens at this time, not to mention whether she can still hold real power like now, there is no successor to the throne of Wu State!
"Can't...... Don't let anything happen to him! ”
I don't know if the Queen Mother's muttering is saying it to those palace people who are already scared, or to herself. But what kind of thoughts she has in her heart, her confidant and grandmother, who have been with her for many years, are very clear, so she hurriedly comforted softly: "Don't worry, since the emperor is sitting in that position, it is definitely blessed by the real dragon, and Lord Yama does not dare to accept him." ”
"Yes, yes. You're right, as long as you sit on the dragon chair, you are the true dragon emperor, and no one dares to take him away. ”
Even if she knew in her heart that this was just a comforting word, the Queen Mother was already anxious at this time, and after hearing these words, she subconsciously regarded this as a life-saving straw. After gritting his teeth and comforting himself several times, he finally looked up in the direction of the pool.
In fact, the pond was only planted with lotus flowers, so the water was not very deep, but it was enough to drown a child of Bai Su's age. Not to mention that he struggled in the water until the last trace of strength was exhausted, and the whole person was already unconscious and began to sink, only to be discovered by the palace people who came in a hurry.
Although Zhuo Siyi was separated by a distance, she chose a good location, and she could clearly see the scene on the other side of the pool.
