Chapter 109: People's hearts are deceitful and have no true feelings
The little guy took the waist card and couldn't wait to fly into the palace with wings, and hurried to Kankan to finish speaking, Meng Zhaoyi's face turned pale and white when she heard the news, why did she lose it?
It's just that the little guy hasn't even his breath yet, and it's even worse.
At the gate of the palace, Gonggong Lin screamed, "The emperor has arrived", so that Meng Zhaoyi did not stand firm and fell directly to the ground.
Li Yizhe rushed in quickly and grabbed Meng Zhaoyi's collar: "What about Ruoyan?" What about Yun Ruoyan and others? ”
Meng Zhaoyi bit her lip and said after a long time: "The person is gone." ”
"Why don't you see it!" Li Yizhe's eyes were red, "Where are you gone?" ”
"Niangniang said that there was something important in the palace, and the queen had begged for the kindness of the concubine, and the concubine thought of a perfect way, and Tuo Tingrui held a Qushui banquet, and the people disappeared in front of everyone's eyes."
"Then you tell me, do you know a thing or two about this missing situation?" Li Yizhe took a deep breath.
The little servant kowtowed and handed over the blood-stained handkerchief, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty forgives me, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”
Li Yizhe looked at the square handkerchief and his teeth were about to be crushed, the blood stains on the handkerchief had solidified, and the dark red color was shocking. He was so angry that he refused to hurt a single hair, and now he was injured by a small man who didn't know what he was, and he saw blood.
"Is there anything else left at the scene besides this veil?"
"No, the people who accompanied Niangniang are gone." The little guy always felt that his head was going to fall off in the next second.
Li Yizhe felt that his qi and blood were surging, what did he call it gone? Even the people accompanying him are gone, what is going on, running to the banquet of the official's house and arresting so many people at once, what kind of person must be able to do this?
"Where's the place?"
"The Meng family's courtyard on the bank of the Qushui."
"People are under control?"
"Before the little one left, the young master had already ordered the courtyard to be sealed."
"Lin Shengnian," Li Yizhe gritted his teeth and said, "Call me the commander of the Great Internal Forbidden Army, reorganize the army, seal the city, dig three feet into the ground and find the concubine back to me, only to see the living, if there is a little difference, if there is a little bit of difference, if there is a lack of injury, ask him to come to see him." ”
"Yes."
"What is it, get out of here if you get the order!" Li Yizhe was extremely irritable, "Come on." ”
"Yes."
"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask the Prime Minister to help find someone."
"Your Majesty, don't you suspect that Xiangye took away Niangniang?" Meng Zhaoyi asked.
"Take away a fart, Luo Hansheng can't wait to protect Yun Ruoyan as an eyeball, can she get a little injured? Besides, he is sick and rarely goes out of the door now, can he not go out by himself for such an important thing as taking away his eyeballs? Li Yizhe scolded, "Suspects also have to have a brain!" ”
"Then who in the capital can have the courage to take away the concubine?"
"There are many bold people, check, check for me! Who is she taking out of the palace today? Li Yizhe clenched his fists, "Now that there are more people who want her to die, the first one to bear the brunt is the Feng family." She got in the way of their family's dream of being in charge of the harem. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't doubt the Lord Protector?" Meng Zhaoyi cautiously asked.
"Suspect what he's doing? Can he still harm his own sister? Li Yizhe looked at Meng Zhaoyi like a fool, "I thought you were smart and had ideas, why did you talk nonsense." ”
"Your Majesty, Lord Wu, the commander of the forbidden army, has arrived." Lin Shengnian trotted after the tall general and shouted breathlessly.
"The order has been passed down?"
"Your Majesty, it has been passed down."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, get out of the palace." Li Yizhe flicked his sleeves and walked quickly, Meng Zhaoyi's palace was equipped with his strong suit, "Lin Shengnian, change clothes for me, and ask someone to prepare a fast horse." ”
After a while, Li Yizhe rode a fast horse and took the forbidden army out of the palace.
Meng Zhaoyi's nails were deeply embedded in her palms, hoping that the emperor could successfully save people back, otherwise how could she be worthy of Ruolan? All she can do now is stabilize the harem.
When Luo Hansheng received the news of Ruoyan's disappearance, the medicine bowl in his hand was shattered, and he said that in the morning, Li Yizhe summoned him to the palace to discuss why the matter of the Feng family suddenly disappeared.
When something like this happened, he couldn't help but start to regret what if he had accepted Ruoyan's invitation to that elegant banquet. Wouldn't something like this happen?
"Finding" only this one year left in his heart, Ruoyan is the only concern he has in life now, like a thread, connecting him with the world he no longer cares about, if this thread is broken, he will lose the last reason to live.
If Yan Ben was waiting for Luo Hansheng in the pavilion, who knew that after drinking two glasses of water and wine, he lost consciousness in a groggy state. She opened her eyes with difficulty, her arm hurt badly, and she reached out and touched only one hand sticky, which should have shed a lot of blood.
She raised her eyes and looked at the surrounding arrangement, it was pitch black, not even the wind could penetrate it, there was no light in it, it should be a dungeon where she didn't know where.
But it's not like a dungeon, and the soft mattress under you shouldn't be what a dungeon should have.
No, no, the painful arm pulled back into her sporadic consciousness, and her hands and feet were held to this bed by a thin metal chain. Who the hell caught her? She opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound. There's something wrong with that water wine.
She calmed down and listened to all the sounds around her, she could hear her own heartbeat, she could hear the footsteps on the ground, vaguely she seemed to hear the sound of armor rubbing, and gradually the voice became louder, someone shouted "search". Then the ground was noisy again.
Li Yizhe stood in the center of the forbidden army and gritted his teeth tightly, he should have thought that there would be such a day when the news of the Feng family came up the day before yesterday. How could someone who coveted the latter position not attack Ruoyan.
The people of Dali Temple have gone to Fengjia to investigate, and try to investigate everything possible.
All the guests at the banquet were controlled by the forbidden army, and Yun Ting was among them, but compared to the panic of the other guests, Yun Ting seemed much more indifferent, because only he knew what was happening.
Time passed minute by minute, and Li Yizhe's heart was almost crumbled.
Yun Ting sensed that the time was almost up, and made a request to the forbidden army on the side to see the emperor.
The forbidden army didn't dare to be sloppy and let Yunting pass.
Li Yizhe was still a little panicked when he saw Yun Ting, after all, it was Yun Ting's own sister who was lost, and his brother-in-law was really a little apprehensive when he saw his brother-in-law.
"Your Majesty is looking for a sister in such a big battle, right?"
"Aiqing is a little safe, I will definitely find Ruoyan to give Aiqing an explanation."
Yun Ting laughed as if he had heard something funny: "That's not necessary, after all, Ruoyan is now in my hands." ”
Li Yizhe's face changed, in Yun Ting's hands, what did he want to do after watching the excitement here for most of the day?
Yun Ting continued: "It's just that she has a shallow cut on her arm, so I think she should have passed out due to blood loss." ”
Ruoyan bit the flesh on the tip of her tongue desperately to keep herself awake, and she could hear the sound on the ground vaguely as she pillowed her pillow.
"Yunting, what the hell do you want to do?!" When Li Yizhe heard this, he lost his cool and punched him.
Yun Thunder dodged sideways. smiled and said, "I just want to make a deal with Your Majesty." The Yun family has a lot of private property that has been hidden, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes who want to know about this matter. Rather than being targeted by the public, it is better for the minister to hand it over to His Majesty. Your Majesty said that this is good, is it? ”
"What does this have to do with you mutilating Ah Yan?" The protruding green tendons on Li Yizhe's forehead became more and more hideous. He struggled to hide the anger he was about to erupt.
"What? Your Majesty doesn't know yet, does he? Only when the Yun family's lineage dies will there be clues to private property. This private property was divided into many parts, and it was impossible for a dead person to collect them all. In this way, to preserve this private property, the minister cannot die, His Majesty said, who else is the only remaining lineage of the Yun family now? ”
Li Yizhe's fists clenched tighter and tighter, he didn't know that the Yun family's private property still had such a detail.
"So you want Ruoyan to die? Is it? ”
"Only she can be sacrificed, Your Majesty, you don't lose this deal, and the minister doesn't ask for much, it's just the glory of the Yun family."
"So you mean now that she has to die? There are not a few children of the family present, and when you say this in front of everyone, you are making up your mind that everyone will treat her as a living target, and she must die. Li Yizhe gritted his teeth.
He has been searching for the Yun family's private property for more than ten years without results, and what Yun Ting said does not seem to be a lie, if everything is not wrong, this will be the closest he has to that private property. The amount of that private property was enough to enrich the country and strengthen the army, so that he could dominate the world and complete the foundation of his ancestors and his great cause, but why did he hesitate?
Because that dead sister has always haunted the tip of his heart? He had always felt that Ruoyan was the only merciful gift from God to him after taking away his mother and unborn sister, the little girl who had protected him when he was young, the only light and the only pure land in his dirty and gray life.
"Your Majesty, discover a dungeon!" A forbidden soldier ran all the way to report.
"Is there anyone in there?" Li Yizhe asked.
"Yes, the bodies of two of Niangniang's attendants and the maid were found inside, as well as the unconscious Niangniang. The Imperial Physician has already entered. ”
"Your Majesty to save or not to save? Do you want private property or not? Yun Ting pursed his lips and smiled lightly and launched a final question, he was gambling, he would definitely win this bet, since ancient times, no emperor like Li Yizhe would choose a woman and give up the dream and the world at his fingertips. And there are so many literati and elegant guests here, children of the family, Li Yizhe can't keep his face, he won't and can't kill everyone present to stop their mouths.
Li Yizhe has rarely felt panic and helplessness since he became the emperor - the last time someone told him that Ruoyan and Luo Hansheng seemed to be in love again.
He felt ridiculous, and he circled around a woman for half his life, even if that woman didn't love him.
Ruoyan's dungeon was at his feet, and she closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious, using her superb acting skills as a play. She was waiting, waiting for Li Yizhe to spit out her final sentence.
