Beihu (4)
News came from Bac Ninh that Xie Zerong was missing.
At such a critical moment, Xie Zerong suddenly disappeared, which is obviously a very bad thing.
Moreover, Xie Zerong had been staying in the house for a long time, but he disappeared at this time; And what kind of person can take Xie Zerong away under the care of Yong'an Secret Guard? It's all weird.
Xuan Jinhuan carefully inquired about the news from Beining, and they said that Xie Zerong took the initiative to separate them and then disappeared.
After that, they found a letter in the house, which Xie Zerong left for Xuan Jinhuan.
Originally, Xuan Jinhuan didn't know what Xie Zerong was doing, but after reading the letter, he really just wanted to vomit blood.
In the letter, Xie Zerong said that her mother's cousin came to find her with a token, telling her that in fact, her mother did not die, but because the situation was forced to leave the palace, she faked her death and left the palace, and now she came to pick her up and reunite with her mother and daughter; And the man who was said to be her cousin also brought half a jade pendant as a token, and Xie Zerong did have another half of the jade pendant on his body. Therefore, Xie Zerong believed the cousin's words and wanted to leave Bac Ninh with him to reunite with her mother; It's just that Xie Zerong was afraid that the people of Yunyan Pavilion would not let her leave, so he could only take the opportunity to send people away and then leave quietly.
After reading the letter, Xuan Jinhuan could only sigh that his life was great, but fortunately he was not angry with Xie Zerong's words.
She really didn't know whether to say that this little princess was simple or that this little princess was simple, but she believed what a person who came out of nowhere?
Xuan Jinhuan had to wonder if Xie Zerong was Emperor Chengji's biological daughter, after all, seeing that her two sisters, Princess Guanghua Xie Zexi and Princess Zhaohua Xie Xinfang, were both scheming women, but she was not at all like her two sisters.
It is well known that her mother, Empress Xuan, died in childbirth when she was born, and this is also very certain for the Yong'an secret guard; The person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere was either ill-intentioned or had ulterior motives, in short, he was not a good person, and the ultimate goal was probably to avoid Xie Zerong, the secret guard of Yong'an.
But why did the man carry a token? It's weird.
"Xuanhou's biological mother, Xue Concubine, is from Dongjun, even if that person is really Xuanhou's cousin, I'm afraid he is also a foreigner." Yi Yu reminded Xuan Jinhuan.
If so, it would be even more of a conspiracy.
Princess Yuanhua, who knows that she is close to her, is not Xie Zerong's person, only the Dongjun secret agent, and this so-called cousin of Xuanhou also knows, so that means that the Dongjun secret agent and Xuanhou may really have some ulterior relationship.
And now that Xie Zerong is missing, how can she explain to Xie Lan.
first the invasion of Beihu, and then the disappearance of Xie Zerong; If there is no connection between this, Xuan Jinhuan absolutely does not believe it.
So in Yong'an, the secret guard said that someone saw a man with a woman who seemed to be Xie Zerong going north, so Xuan Jinhuan decided to go north directly to find Xie Zerong in person; Since that person took Xie Zerong to the north, it proves that it is probably indeed related to Beihu.
Xuan Jinhuan wasn't sure what Beihu would do to Xie Zerong, or what they would do if they were taking Xie Zerong to Beihu.
Or it was already a mistake when she first came up with the idea of replacing the princess.
The war had already started on the northern side, and it was already five days later when Xuan Jinhuan came to the northern border; The places you see are all barren grass, and the territory of ten miles is deserted.
Xuan Jinhuan knew where the barracks were stationed, and she could still sneak into the barracks quietly to meet Xie Lan; It's just that she feels that she can't let Xie Lan know about this matter at this time, otherwise she may disturb his mind.
And she also brought the letter left by Xie Zerong, thinking that she would hand it over to Xie Lan when the time came.
It's just that before she could go to find Xie Lan, Xu Le appeared in front of Xuan Jinhuan first, and it was said that Xie Lan asked him to come.
Director Xu is now a person from Yunyan Pavilion next to King Song, and when Xie Lan was looking for Xuan Jinhuan, he asked him if he knew.
When he saw Director Xu, Xuan Jinhuan still looked inexplicable: "Director Xu, why are you here?" Aren't you by King Song's side? ”
"Last night, His Royal Highness and King Wu went out to walk their horses, and when they saw the girl, they asked their subordinates what they were doing in the north, and they also wanted to meet the girl." Director Xu said stubbornly.
Did Xie Lan and Xie Ye see her when they were walking their horses last night? Why hadn't she seen both of them?
But since Xie Lan said it, let's see it.
The moonlight was just right at night, and Xuan Jinhuan was waiting under an abrupt tree on the edge of the Gobi, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him: "Miss Jinhuan, it's bitter cold in the north, why are you here?" ”
"Your Highness, why can't Jin Huan come." Xuan Jinhuan was still hesitating in his heart about how to speak, so he could only say this first.
"Does Miss Jinhuan miss me? I'm thinking of you, too. Xie Lan said suddenly.
Xuan Jinhuan was taken aback by his inexplicable words, and hurriedly said: "Yes, something happened and I had to come over to solve it." After a little entanglement in his heart, he continued, "Second Highness, I want to tell you something, don't panic. ”
Before she could say anything, Xie Lan had already made all kinds of random guesses: "Could it be that something happened to the royal capital?" ”
"It's Bac Ninh who has an accident." Xuan Jinhuan is colorful.
"Bac Ninh?" Xie Lan didn't react for a while, and was stunned before remembering, "Is it related to Zerong?" Is there something going on? ”
"Princess Yuanhua is missing." Xuan Jinhuan nodded and handed Xie Zerong's letter to Xie Lan, "This is the letter left by Princess Yuanhua." ”
Xie Lan hurriedly unfolded the letter and read it hurriedly, the more she looked at it, the more ugly her face became, and finally she was so angry that she tore up the letter: "This girl, she will believe it if someone comes casually!" It's really going to me off. She doesn't have any cousins, and I've never heard of a queen mother and a cousin. ”
Xuan Jinhuan took a deep breath before continuing: "The person who deceived Princess Yuanhua is likely to be someone from Beihu, and someone saw that person leaving Beining with Princess Yuanhua and went north directly. "So I'm afraid that their previous change of princess has also been completely exposed.
"What about then?" Xie Lan was very worried.
"I don't know." Xuan Jinhuan didn't count it in his heart, but in short, there would be no good thing.
Xie Lan frowned heartily and looked up at the bright moon in a daze; What they least wanted to happen still happened, Xie Zerong disappeared, and fell into the hands of the Beihu people, and now in this situation, I am afraid that my life is in danger.
After all, he can't protect his sister! After all, he has failed the trust of his mother!
Xie Lan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
In this situation, he didn't know what else to do.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Jin Huan will definitely do his best to find Princess Yuanhua and rescue her." Seeing that Xie Lan was so uncomfortable, Xuan Jinhuan hurriedly said.
"Miss Jinhuan, thank you!" Xie Lan sighed.
Although he knew that there was little hope.
