Chapter Forty-Seven: Missing

Xin'er gets up early every day to get a meal, and when she comes back, she waits outside the dormitory, usually only half a cup of tea, Xia Man wakes up to eat, but today is two hours, Xin'er felt different, and shouted, "Niangniang." ”

No one answered in the hall, Xin'er shouted again, but still no one answered, then she felt that something was wrong, pushed the door open, and there was no one in her sight, and she couldn't help but sit on the ground in fright.

When she arrived at the Xuanlin Palace, Xin'er was stopped by the guards on duty, saying that Xiao Mo was dealing with urgent government affairs and no one was allowed to disturb her, so she hurried to Weiyang Palace.

"Concubine Heng is missing, please send someone to find her." Xin'er knelt on the ground, her eyes were red, and she was afraid of losing her etiquette, so she ran into the queen, so she held back her tears.

Hearing this, Zhou Jinge had a bad premonition, and hurriedly issued an edict to search the harem on the grounds of theft in the palace, and then took Xin'er to the Xuanlin Palace.

When the queen came here, the guards didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went through the inner hall, and after a while, someone from the palace invited Zhou Jinge in.

In the hall, Xiao Mo was discussing with Zhou Chang how to eradicate the remnants of Xiao Huai and the Liu family's forces in Yecheng, when he saw Zhou Jinge coming in with a solemn face, and Xin'er who was still crying next to him, he suddenly felt uneasy and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Concubine Heng is missing." Zhou Jinge told the truth, and when he saw Xiao Mo suddenly frowning, he said: "The concubine has already made an edict and searched all over the palace." ”

"You take Xin'er to the side hall first, and then I will ask for the details of this matter after I finish handling the government affairs, and send another decree to block the exits inside and outside the palace, check the people entering and leaving in detail, and let Qianying enter the palace immediately." Xiao Mo was already flustered in his heart, and he couldn't wait to find it immediately, but Xiao Huai kept moving, and if he didn't deal with it as soon as possible, there would be endless troubles.

and Zhou Chang quickly formulated a plan to exterminate it, Xiao Mo arrived at the side hall, Xin'er was about to return, Xiao Mo said: "Go to Yanliang Palace, and say while walking, the queen will go to find out who has seen Concubine Heng recently." ”

Zhou Jinge didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to investigate, while Xiao Mo walked quickly to Yanliang Palace, Xin'er trotted behind, and described the general situation of the incident.

After a short time, the two of them arrived at Xia Man's dormitory, and the room was clean and tidy, and there was no trace of fighting, and after a closer look, they found that there was a letter and a rolled-up painting on the side of the dressing table, Xiao Mo picked up the letter, and saw two lines of words written crookedly on the letterhead: Don't ask for three thousand weak water and a scoop to drink, but I am tired of tossing and turning as a stand-in.

After reading the letter, Xiao Mo suddenly felt confused, and unfolded the scroll again, only to connect the contents of the letter together, and suddenly felt suspicious, and hurriedly asked Xin'er on the side, "Where did this painting come from?"

Xin'er shook her head and said, "Please forgive the emperor, the slave doesn't know." ”

"Let's go down." Xiao Mo intuitively felt that something was wrong, so he carefully checked the dormitory, trying to find some clues, but after a long time, he still found nothing, and Zhou Jinge also sent news that he had not found any trace of Xia Man.

"Your harem is really not very good, a big living person can go missing." As soon as Qianying entered the hall, he saw Xiao Motie with a blue face, sitting on the couch, motionless.

"Don't talk about it, it's important to find someone, look at this." As he spoke, he gave the letter and the drawing to Chikage.

Qianying took it, looked at it, and said, "This handwriting, it looks like hers, where did this painting come from?"

"The queen has checked, no one has been to Yanliang Palace recently, and I'm also curious, where did this painting come from." Xiao Mo clenched his fists, full of anger and nowhere to release, who was making a fuss about old things.

Qianying put away the painting and said, "If I hadn't seen the inscription on this painting, I would have forgotten about your past, how could anyone still remember it." ”

"It's also my fault, I've been busy dealing with Xiao Huai's affairs recently, snubbing her, and letting others take advantage of the loophole." Xiao Mo originally wanted to wipe out the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, but he never expected to be calculated by others.

"You just pray that she was taken away, if she left voluntarily, ......" Qianying glanced at Xiao Mo, and saw that his face was wrong, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Don't worry, I'll let the people from the Illusion Pavilion find it immediately." ”

In this way, Qianying summoned spies from all over the world to inquire about Xia Man's whereabouts, while Xiao Mo secretly investigated in the palace, and it seemed peaceful to outsiders, only Zhou Jinge knew how much anger Xiao Mo contained at this time.

"Have you heard? The emperor decreed that Yanliang Palace was sealed, and no one was allowed to visit. ”

"What's so strange, there are times when you are favored, there are times when you fall out of favor, this is called the good reincarnation of heaven."

The two nobles in the Yuntai Hall did not shy away from discussing on the palace road, but Xiao Mo, who also called the next dynasty, heard it, and in this way, it was considered to have hit the muzzle, and the two nobles were demoted to concubines on the spot and moved to the northwest abandoned palace.

As soon as this incident came out, the harem was much calmer, and no one dared to mention Yanliang Palace, let alone Xia Man.

The harem is like this, and the previous dynasty also has a ripple, Xiao Mo scolded the imperial history of the city patrol for the first time, and pointed to his dereliction of duty between words, and punished him for three years, and the ministers looked at each other, and were more cautious, for fear of being reprimanded for saying the wrong thing.

Compared with the cautiousness of the ministers, Xiao Xun seemed a little careless, went down to the court, did not stay, and returned directly to the palace.

"You're back." Mu Hanyan sat next to the desk in Xiao Xun's bedroom, nibbling on apples, very comfortable.

Xiao Xun looked around, and before he could speak, he was robbed by Mu Hanyan, "Don't worry, no one will find me." ”

"I'm sorry for him." Xiao Xun had guilt on his face.

Mu Hanyan got up, pressed Xiao Xun to the chair, looked into his eyes, and said: "Although your mother concubine was not killed by him, she died because of him, and now you are just helping me sneak into the palace, you don't have to be so guilty, not to mention that he has three thousand in the harem, and there is no shortage of women." ”

"Well, where did you take her?" Xiao Xun's heart has ended, in this way, he and Xiao Mo are clear.

"I guess she's already in the Northern Dynasty by this time." Mu Hanyan looked out the window and acted in the name of Xiao Xun, and it was really unimpeded.

When Xia Man woke up, it was already two days later, and when she opened her eyes, she felt that the whole person was very heavy, her vision was very blurry, and the hunger from her abdomen made her sober up a little, and she casually shouted: "Xin'er, I'm hungry, bring me some food." ”

After a while, there was a palace maid who entered the hall with food, and when Xia Man was about to get up, he realized that something was wrong, where was this Yanliang Palace, and the maid in front of him was not Xin'er, so he leaned into the couch vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?" Where is this?"

"The slave maid is called Yunzhu, it is the emperor who is here to serve you, this is the emperor's bedroom, Beichen Palace." Yunzhu replied respectfully.

Xia Man pinched his arm to make himself conscious a little clearer, and then said, "Invite your emperor, I have something to ask him." ”

The maidservant was about to speak, Mu Hanchuan pushed the door in, retreated from the palace people, slowly walked to the couch, and said with a smile: "I want to see me in such a hurry." ”

"How did you kidnap me, and for what purpose?" Xia Man stared at Mu Hanchuan, thinking about how to escape in his mind.

As if seeing through Xia Man's thoughts, Mu Hanchuan said straight to the point: "You don't have to think about escaping, Beichen Palace is heavily guarded, and Xiao Mo still thinks that you left by yourself, let alone come to look for you, you can stay here with peace of mind." ”

After listening to Mu Hanchuan's words, Xia Man probably guessed some of the processes, and that painting was the introduction, but what method did they use to quietly rob and transport themselves out of the palace? At this time, whether Xiao Mo found out the clues, all kinds of questions lingered in her heart, which made her very headache.

"Let's eat first, I still have government affairs, and I'll come to see you when I'm empty." Mu Hanchuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, now that Xia Man is in his hand, he is still worried that he can't deal with Xiao Mo.
