Chapter 12: Out of the Palace
Ten days later.
Long September is munching on crabs at home.
Just after August 15, the river crab is the fat season. Jinling people love to eat crabs, every year as early as the beginning of summer, the prefectures begin to order autumn crabs, in order to be the masters can eat the freshest and most delicious crabs.
Long September sighed while eating, coming to ancient times, although it was not good, but there were many delicacies, which was the best. She sat in the courtyard, nibbling on crabs and admiring chrysanthemums, what a free life!
At this time, the servant led a little eunuch to hurry over.
When Long Jiujiu asked, he realized that it was the little emperor who was busy and wanted September to take him out to play!
Also, it's just over the August Festival, and the street should still be lively, not to mention the little emperor who is trapped in the palace all the year round, and even September, who stays in the palace all day, also wants to see the lively scene outside!
Long Jiujiu simply packed up and set off with the little eunuch.
Jinling City.
"Sister Dragon, Sister Dragon! Look what that's buying! Murong Qing, who had left the palace, ran around excitedly, Long Jiujiu could only keep an eye on him at all times, after all, he lost the emperor, and his head probably couldn't be kept.
The sky gradually darkened, but the bustle and prosperity of Jinling City did not diminish at all. The hawkers on the street are even harder, sugar gourds, meat buns, sugar people, every vendor Murong Qing has to stay for a long time, he has really never seen these since he was a child living in the palace.
"The Emperor... Ahp! Murong Qing repeatedly emphasized that the two of them pretended to be sisters and brothers outside, and asked her to call him by his nickname directly, but Long Jiujiu still felt very awkward.
"Aqing, you can't buy it anymore, you can't take it in your hands!" She could see that Murong Qing was really happy.
"Sister Long, look, there's a fireworks show over there! Let's go check it out! Murong Qing ignored what Long Jiujiu had just said, and pulled her towards the place where the crowd gathered in front of her.
"Ah Qing, slow down!" Although Long Jiutian said this, he was also smiling. Let this little emperor, who has lived in struggle since childhood, be happy again!
Jinling Imperial Palace, Longqi Palace.
The night was dark, the emperor had not returned, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the entire palace were trembling, for fear that the queen mother would find out that the emperor was missing.
But there were bursts of footsteps outside the palace.
After a while, the shrill voice of the chief eunuch shouted: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" His Royal Highness King Jing has arrived! β
The emperor's personal little eunuch Ah Fu was so frightened that he suddenly fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the Queen Mother and King Jing had already entered the inner hall of Longqi Palace.
"What about the emperor?" The Queen Mother asked, her tone was always so majestic that Ah Fu couldn't help but tremble again.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the emperor is ...... The emperor is unwell today and has rested. β
Ah Fu thought about it for a long time, and only thought of such a prevarication reason. However, his voice was trembling, how could the Queen Mother and King Jing believe it?
"Not feeling well? In the afternoon, when he went to say goodbye to the mourning family, he was still alive, why is he suddenly unwell now? Mourning family go in and take a look! β
When Ah Fu heard this, the three souls instantly scared off the six spirits. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have gone out to have a good time, Ah Fu has suffered!
He knows that today is probably more auspicious. hurriedly fell to the ground with his whole body and shouted for the queen mother to calm her anger.
"Say! Where the hell is the emperor! If you don't tell the truth, all the people in the temple will be killed today! β
"The Queen Mother is angry! The emperor ....... the emperor went out of the palace in micro-suits! Ah Fu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply explained the emperor's whereabouts directly.
Murong Yunzhao, who was on the side, spoke: "You say, the emperor is out of the palace?" But he has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he has no idea what the outside world is like, how did he get out? β
"Back to His Royal Highness King Jing, the emperor summoned the daughter of General Long into the palace, dressed as a little eunuch, and went out of the palace when the Shenwu Gate took over. For fear of revealing the horse's feet, the emperor only brought Ada, the guard who was usually close to him! Ah Fu said tremblingly.
"Ridiculous!!" The Queen Mother slapped her palm on the rosewood carved table.
When Murong Yunzhao heard this, he also felt very angry. How could there be such an ignorant woman in Long September? After seducing him, he seduced Situ Yufeng again, and now, he actually has the audacity to seduce the emperor?!
Isn't Situ Yufeng already forced to marry her? This woman's greed is also too great, and the regent princess of Yun Qin Kingdom can't satisfy her? Actually delusional, want to be the queen?!
Murong Yunzhao felt even more that getting rid of Long Jiuyue, a stupid woman, was really a correct decision!
At this time, Ning Wanlan was still in anger.
"The mourning family only saw this dragon September a few days ago, and she is really a girl who doesn't know the height of the sky! The mourning family was puzzled, what trick did this girl use to confuse the regent, and even made the regent agree to marry her! β
Murong Yunzhao knew very well that although Ning Wanlan was the queen mother, she had an unusual affection for Situ Yufeng. Situ Yufeng wants to take Long Jiu Jiu as his concubine, and Ning Wanlan naturally won't have a good impression of Long Jiu Jiu.
"The mourning family thought that this girl was just lacking in discipline, but they didn't expect her to be so stubborn! If the emperor has any mistakes, the mourning family will definitely not let go of Long Xiaotian! β
Ning Wanlan has been afraid of Long Xiaotian's power for a long time, and this time Long Jiu's incident is a very good opportunity to weaken Long Xiaotian's power in the army, and Ning Wanlan can insert her own people into it.
Murong Yunzhao whispered a few words in Ning Wanlan's ear, and a subtle smile bloomed between Ning Wanlan's red lips.
"Someone! Quickly send Yu Wei to Jinling City to find the emperor back! Ning Wanlan spoke.
Within an hour, Yu Wei captured Murong Qing, who was having fun.
The little emperor still had half a mask on his face, and when he was found by Yu Wei, he was wearing a mask to scare Long Jiujiu, who was actually not afraid at all.
Murong Qing saw Ning Wanlan with a serious face, and a smiling face instantly collapsed.
"The Queen Mother..."
"You still know that there is a queen mother like me!" The Queen Mother said.
"Queen Mother, I... I just want to experience the folk customs and customs of Jinling City..."Murong Qing said that he had no confidence.
Ning Wanlan took a deep breath to calm herself. For the sake of the cause, she can't be angry now.
"Your Majesty, the whole world is yours, where you want to go, the mourning family will naturally not interfere too much."
"However," Ning Wanlan continued, "You only take Ada with you when you go out, in case you run into the killer of Xichuan Kingdom, how will Ada deal with it alone?" As the emperor of the Yunqin Kingdom, if you are taken captive to the Xichuan Kingdom, how can I explain to your dead father? How do you explain to the people of Yun Qin Kingdom?? β
"Queen Mother, Qing'er knows it's wrong." Murong Qing drooped and smiled.
"You're also tired, and today's events, the mourning family won't pursue it. Ah Fu, serve the emperor and enter the palace to rest, tomorrow will be early. β
The little emperor bowed his head and walked towards the inner hall. As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Ning Wanlan.
"Queen Mother, please don't hold Sister Long accountable! It was I who ordered her to accompany me out of the palace. β
The Queen Mother made a straight face and said, "The mourning family sent someone to send her back to the Dragon Mansion." Although the mourning family is very angry today, for the sake of her father being a hussar general and her fiancΓ© being the regent, this matter is stopped! β
The little emperor happily thanked the Queen Mother and went back to rest. He didn't know that a conspiracy using this as a fuse was slowly unfolding.
