And Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue here also quickly mixed some abortion pills in the supplements, as well as about Xue Jingqing, and gradually moved their suspicions to the direction of the island country over there.
Since Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu suspected that the island country was secretly playing ghosts, they planned to send spies to investigate in person.
The two had briefly discussed the matter, but before they could take action, they heard another unexpected news.
Just after noon that day, Zhuang Mingyue wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest, but saw a guard come to the palace.
Seeing that the other party whispered to Long Yuanxiu, although Zhuang Mingyue didn't ask much, she was still vaguely aware that something unusual was happening.
After the guards left, Zhuang Mingyue came to Long Yuanxiu's study and asked softly: "Yuanxiu, did the guards suddenly come to the house just now?" ”
Long Yuanxiu found that she didn't take a nap, but was concerned about this matter, so he replied with a pleasant face: "It's not important, it's just that I asked him to do a small thing before, and I came to report to me today." ”
Zhuang Mingyue smiled slightly, guessing that Long Yuanxiu's understatement must have been concealed.
Usually, Long Yuanxiu has a word and never says anything in front of her. But today he was abnormal, and Zhuang Mingyue didn't need to look at it to know that there was a problem.
"So that's what happened, I don't know why the guards came to restore their lives?" Zhuang Mingyue asked gently.
"That's it...... Regarding a suspicious figure in the palace, his specific identity is still being investigated by the guards. Long Yuanxiu's tone began to be a little unnatural.
Zhuang Mingyue showed a puzzled look, looked at him with a smile on the corner of her mouth and asked, "Is this true?" ”
The two looked at each other, and Long Yuanxiu looked at Zhuang Mingyue's clear and wise eyes, and his heart was a little weak in an instant.
Long Yuanxiu knew that she had doubts about herself, thinking that she might not be able to hide it, and finally told the truth.
"Mingyue, in fact, I didn't mean to hide it, I just didn't want you to too much." Long Yuanxiu sighed lightly and simply didn't admit himself.
"So what is it?" Zhuang Mingyue pretended to be ignorant.
After a pause, Long Yuanxiu slowly spoke: "Today, the guards came to deliver a letter, saying that yesterday the island country sent an envoy to show goodwill, and also brought the treasures on the island as a gift to the emperor, which seems to be a good friendship." ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but feel very surprised, you must know that there was not harmony between the two countries before, and the island country was only afraid of the strength of the Tiansheng Dynasty so he bowed down.
The sudden dispatch of emissaries by the island nation at the moment is obviously a suspicious attempt.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Mingyue pretended to be calm and asked: "In this way, I thought it was a big deal, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Long Yuanxiu frowned slightly, and explained worriedly: "At present, I don't know their intentions, and I feel more and more that the purpose of the envoy is to test, maybe Xue Jingqing's disappearance has something to do with them." ”
In fact, Zhuang Mingyue also had such an idea, and the couple sat down to chat about this matter for an afternoon, and finally she decided to go to the court tomorrow with Long Yuanxiu.
Early the next morning.
The sky was about to be bright, and Long Yuanxiu, who was preparing to go to the morning court, had already woken up, and he saw that Zhuang Mingyue, who was sleeping next to the pillow, had not yet woken up, so he decided that it would be better not to wake her up.
But as soon as Long Yuanxiu changed his clothes and was about to leave the palace, he heard someone in the bedroom push open the door.
"Yuan Xiu, do you want to go to the early dynasty alone?"
Hearing Zhuang Mingyue's voice behind him, Long Yuanxiu stopped and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Mingyue, I don't want to affect your sleep because of these things, after all, your body is important, and it is not convenient for women to come with you in the early dynasty, so it's okay!" ”
Seeing that Long Yuanxiu and himself were talking and discussing, Zhuang Mingyue didn't make much trouble, and replied empathetically: "Okay, then I won't go first, and come back to listen to you tell me about today's early dynasty." ”
Long Yuanxiu was very relieved, and he could finally persuade his wife, so he went out with confidence.
When the morning sun rose, the solemn court was full of civil and military officials, and the envoys of the island countries also presented valuable gifts to the emperor as guests.
But from beginning to end, he was very hypocritical, and he touted the nice words, which made people completely confused.
The emperor was a little disgusted by this, but he didn't say it directly, and was about to ask the envoy of the island country to go down first, when the eunuch's report suddenly sounded outside.
"Your Majesty, the second princess has something important to see."
When he heard that Zhuang Mingyue was going to come to the early dynasty in person, the emperor was also very surprised, and regardless of her identity as a woman, he directly ordered the eunuch to allow her to go to the court.
Zhuang Mingyue came at the right time, and saw the envoy of the island country kneeling on the ground waiting for the reward, and immediately expressed his intention to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have two important questions to ask the envoy, and I ask for the emperor's permission." Zhuang Mingyue spoke calmly.
"Oh? Then you just ask. ”
The emperor on the dragon chair was even more surprised, and his curiosity cut and readily agreed.
Since it was the emperor who personally agreed, Zhuang Mingyue was also a lot bolder, and walked to the envoy of the island country and began to question.
"Envoy, may I ask if you came to the audience with rare treasures, do you plan to let your country belong to the Tiansheng Dynasty and recognize the sect master thousands of miles away?"
The outspoken words embarrassed the envoy of the island country, and quickly denied it: "The princess is wrong, our king wishes that the two countries will have good relations forever, so he sent him here, this trip is just pure friendship diplomacy." ”
After hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue smiled indifferently, since the other party denied surrendering to the Tiansheng Dynasty, he changed the topic and interrogated.
"It's a diplomacy of pure friendship, there were spies suspected of your country poisoning me before, and the favorite person of the monarch of Chu is nowhere to be found, as far as I heard, it is also related to your country, could the envoy come to inquire about the situation in the name of friendship?"
Zhuang Mingyue's words were sharp, and she didn't give the other party a chance to quibble.
And the messenger understood that she had come to the court as a woman, and that it was evident that she had come unkindly.
He remained shocked, and replied unhurriedly: "The princess may have listened to the rumors, and our king has always respected the Tiansheng Dynasty, this matter is absolutely impossible, and I hope the princess will investigate it clearly." ”
Zhuang Mingyue sneered in her heart, understanding that the other party was holding on nine times out of ten, and asked a few more questions.
It's a pity that the envoy of the island country is still this set of diplomatic rhetoric, no matter how he asks him, he is playing Tai Chi, and in the end the two sides broke up unhappily.
Seeing this situation, the emperor thought about it and politely refused to accept the gift brought by the envoy, and hurriedly retired to settle the dispute.
At the end of the early dynasty, Zhuang Mingyue returned to the princess accompanied by Long Yuanxiu.
The two didn't say anything all the way, and Long Yuanxiu had a lot of complaints about her appearance in the court.
When he returned to the palace, he immediately pulled Zhuang Mingyue into the study, and asked in a serious tone: "Mingyue, you said you wouldn't go in the morning, how could you ...... later?"
Long Yuanxiu was a little angry, but he couldn't bear to say cruel words in front of his beloved wife, so he had to ask in a complaining tone.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Mingyue said reasonably, as if she was absent from the court this morning, she would let the envoy of the island country complete the conspiracy.
"I'm also doing this for the sake of the overall situation, the ambition of the wolf son of the island country, we can't help but guard against it, but it's a pity that the emperor's ears are too soft, if he takes that gift today, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause in the future."
Hearing this, Long Yuanxiu didn't know how to refute it for a while, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully.
"Maybe you're right, but I don't think this way is advisable, after all, you are your daughter's family, and it is rude to rush to the court."
Long Yuanxiu shook his head helplessly, this matter could only be stopped.
However, a few days later, Long Yuanxiu took advantage of the envoy of the island country to return to China by boat, and arranged for several spies to sneak into the ship and go to the island country with him.
His purpose is very simple, that is, to find out where Xue Jingqing is being held, and whether this missing mystery case is not involved in the monarch of the island country.
For the next month, Long Yuanxiu waited every day for the spies to hear back from across the sea, but he didn't expect to be disappointed.
Because the other party sealed his mouth very tightly, the spies sent out not only did not inquire about any news, but some were also killed because their identities were exposed.
The two surviving spies escaped in small fishing boats, and after many hardships and dangers, they were able to save their lives.
And Long Yuanxiu didn't tell Zhuang Mingyue the truth about this matter, he only hoped that she could raise a fetus in the palace with peace of mind.
But Yu Qiu learned about this by accident, and because there was no news of Xue Jingqing for a long time, he was anxious to go to Long Yuanxiu to meet alone.
The two were drinking in the study of the palace, and Long Yuanxiu tried his best to hide it from Zhuang Mingyue, so as not to think too much, but it was still because Yu Qiu's voice was too loud and spread outside.
At that time, Zhuang Mingyue happened to come in to bring wine to the two, and when she heard about it at the door, she immediately entered the door to ask.
"Yuan Xiu, it turns out that you once sent spies before, but you didn't tell me about this. Isn't there any news of her yet? Zhuang Mingyue asked with a complaining tone and a worried tone.
Long Yuanxiu nodded solemnly, considering that it was inconvenient for Yu Qiu to admit his mistake to his beloved wife in his presence, he had to say euphemistically: "I also just got the result, and I only learned that a few spies had an accident in the island country, and I was going to tell you today, and the third prince will come to visit." ”
When Yu Qiu heard him mention himself, he immediately felt a little embarrassed, thinking that it was because of his own reasons that the little couple had a conflict.
"I'm sorry, it looks like I didn't come to visit at the right time." Yu Qiu said with a self-deprecating smile, and then he clasped his fists, "But no matter what, I still thank you husband and wife for your dedication. ”
That night, Yu Qiu and Long Yuanxiu chatted in the study until dark, and Zhuang Mingyue was restless when she returned to the bedroom to rest.
She thought hard about how to find Xue Jingqing's whereabouts, and even lost sleep because of it, and after several days of this, her body finally had problems.
Long Yuanxiu, who was busy outside, heard that the princess was sick, and immediately rushed home with the doctor to treat her.
Looking at Zhuang Mingyue, who had a haggard face on the hospital bed, he asked with pity: "Mingyue, what are you uncomfortable with?" How about I ask the doctor to take your pulse? ”
"Okay, I'm in trouble with the doctor." Zhuang Mingyue also began to worry about the children in the attached middle school, so she nodded and agreed.
After the doctor's diagnosis, it was finally concluded that it was due to Zhuang Mingyue's overwork in recent days, which led to signs of miscarriage.
Knowing the reason, Long Yuanxiu was very worried about this, and ordered her seriously: "From today onwards, don't worry about these things outside!" ”
