Chapter 47: Entering the palace late at night
Yu Xizhou panicked all of a sudden, and was about to go out, but thinking that if he went out and came back, he would definitely have an excuse to be seen, looked at Xiao You, and said calmly: "You go to the side courtyard now to hide Hua Ze in the utility room, and then stay where she lives, don't come out if no one goes in." ”
After speaking, he pretended to be calm and lay on the bed, looking like he had fallen asleep. Xiao You didn't delay at all, he escaped everyone's eyes and came to the side courtyard, saw that the lights were still on, and walked in directly, at this time Hanazawa was undressing and preparing to sleep.
Seeing that it was Xiao Yu, Hua Ze was still taken aback, and without taking into account Hua Ze's surprise, Xiao Yu wrapped her clothes together and took out a darker coat and draped it over her body.
Hua Ze was taken by Xiao Yu to a very dilapidated house, which was full of cobwebs and the smell of mold all over the house, so he couldn't help but cover his nose, frowned, looked at Xiao Yu, who was nervous, and asked softly: "Xiao Yu, what happened outside?" ”
Xiao Yu didn't remove the cobwebs, and carefully dodged them, pulling Hanazawa to the far corner, which was full of damp dead grass. Put the clothes in his hand beside him, carefully picked up a bunch of hay and threw it on it, only then put the clothes away, and placed the flowers, Xiao Yucai replied, saying: "The emperor ordered to search the palace of the king of Qin, and it is inconvenient for the princess to come out, let me hide you here, this house is dilapidated, let the girl suffer, but please bear with the girl first." ”
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Hanazawa couldn't help but get scared, nodded lightly, leaned his body against the wall, and hid himself as much as possible.
Xiao You walked out of the utility room, patted the weeds on his body, walked to the side courtyard, cleaned up the room slightly, and ensured that there was no sign that the girl had lived, and then blew out the candle and lay on the bed.
"Shangshu, I didn't find anything suspicious." The man from the military department whispered in his ear, and then retreated to the line, waiting for him to give orders again.
"Lord Wang, I wonder if you can let your subordinates go to your room to take a look?" Looking at the closed room behind Shen Nanfeng, the eyes of the military department squinted.
Shen Nanfeng smiled and said, "Naturally, you can, but please Shangshu later, my princess is resting, and this king will go first to wake her up." ”
Without waiting for the military department to speak, Shen Nanfeng walked straight into the room, gently patted the person pretending to be asleep on the bed, helped her up, and whispered in her ear that it was okay.
Yu Xizhou nodded, and appeared in front of everyone with the support of Shen Nanfeng.
Seeing Xiao You in the crowd, Yu Xizhou glanced at him, and Xiao You nodded knowingly. Knowing that Hua Ze was fine, Yu Xizhou breathed a sigh of relief, watching people walk into his room one by one, and inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart.
"You have to search carefully, and you can't let go of any clues!"
Shen Nanfeng helped Yu Xizhou, and the two of them looked at the people in the room, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a while.
"Found it!" A soldier walked out with a piece of jade pendant and handed it to the military department, Shen Nanfeng looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and his good-looking brows furrowed suddenly.
He recognized it as a token of love between the emperor and the queen, and he didn't expect them to pull the queen into their team.
Yu Xizhou looked at the jade pendant in the hand of the military department, she didn't know what it was at all, Shen Nanfeng gave herself so many things, she wasn't sure if it was her own, but seeing Shen Nanfeng's expression, this should be a very important thing.
In the end, Yu Xizhou was put on a person who did not abide by women's morals and chastity, but as a princess, she was worried about the emperor's crimes, and took her away late at night in front of the entire Qinwang Mansion.
Shen Nanfeng watched Yu Xizhou being taken away, but he was powerless, because the jade pendant was indeed found in Yu Xizhou's room, even if Yu Xizhou didn't admit it, it was useless.
Back in the study, the more Shen Nanfeng thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't know where Yu Xizhou would be taken, and he didn't know what kind of torture she would suffer, as if he saw her cowering in the corner in fear, Shen Nanfeng slapped the table hard, ready to go to the palace again.
"Where is the prince going?" Yun Xi was about to go to Shen Nanfeng, but saw that he was about to go out.
Shen Nanfeng stopped, and said without raising his head: "Save people!" ”
Yun Xi suddenly knelt in front of Shen Nanfeng, hugged his calves, and said remorsefully: "Lord Wang, I did all this, I secretly hid the jade pendant in the jewelry box of the princess, and I also sent a message to the prince to cause the Hua family to behead all over the house." ”
Shen Nanfeng already knew, so he wasn't particularly surprised, and said with a flat face: "This king knows." ”
He immediately took out a pill from his waist and put it in Yun Xi's hand, telling her that this pill could remove the toxins from her body, so that she would no longer suffer from the erosion of Gu poison.
"Your mistake, you make up for it, you go to the palace with this king, tell the emperor everything you know, and rescue the princess with this king." Shen Nanfeng watched Yun Xi swallow the pill and prepared to take her to meet the emperor with him.
Yun Xi stood up from the ground and said a little weakly: "Although Yun Xi was instructed by the prince to harm the Hua family and the princess, but Yun Xi alone can't accuse the prince, let alone rescue the princess, if the prince hits a rake at that time and says that the prince asked me to frame him, then ......"
Shen Nanfeng frowned, what Yun Xi said was not unreasonable, but now they can only sit and wait for death? He didn't want Yu Xizhou to be in any danger, he promised to protect her for the rest of his life, but now he watched her being taken away, but he couldn't do anything.
Punched the door hard, Shen Nanfeng hoped that it was himself who was taken away, not Yu Xizhou, she was innocent, she didn't know anything.
"I am willing to go to the palace with King Qin to accuse the prince of his evil deeds and save the princess." There are still some weeds on Hua Ze's body, but he doesn't look embarrassed at all.
Seeing Hua Ze stand up, Yun Xi looked at her with a little evasion, after all, she had a lot of responsibility for her family being wiped out.
Hua Ze saw Yun Xi beside Shen Nanfeng, she was not a person who couldn't distinguish between good and evil, even if she hated it, she wouldn't make trouble at this juncture.
"Miss Flower...... Thank you! Yun Xi saw Hua Ze coming over, she felt very guilty, her nose was sore, she lowered her head and held back her tears of remorse, her voice was full of apology and remorse.
Hua Ze didn't look at her, but replied indifferently: "Miss Yunxi doesn't need to thank me, if it weren't for King Qin saving Hua Ze and the princess taking care of her, I'm afraid that now Hua Ze has become the food in the mouth of wild dogs, and now that the princess is in trouble, Hua Ze will not stand up and receive favors in vain." ”
After listening to this, Yun Xi admired Hua Ze's generosity and clear attitude of public and private, and felt even more guilty.
"Xiaoyou, let's go to the palace, and the palace will be handed over to you to take care of, and take care of Chaoxi." Shen Nanfeng looked at Xiao You, let his subordinates disperse, and instructed him seriously, and then took Hua Ze and Yun Xi to meet the emperor together.
Shen Nanfeng sat on the horse, his heart was full of worry, Yu Xizhou had been taken away for a while, and he didn't know if the military department Shangshu had embarrassed her, interrogated her, or tortured her.
His eyes darkened, Shen Nanfeng whipped hard with his whip, and the carriage rushed instantly. The two men in the carriage almost fell because of the sudden acceleration of the horses, but they didn't care, both of them looked worried, looking out the window at the pitch black, not knowing how long it would take to reach the palace.
For the first time, Shen Nanfeng felt that the palace was so far away, and the horse had been running for a long time and had not arrived.
Seeing the gate of the palace, Shen Nanfeng asked the guards to open the door, and hurriedly took the two of them straight to the imperial study, and the little eunuch inside told him that the emperor had moved to Jingren Palace.
Shen Nanfeng asked the little eunuch to walk in front to lead the way, and the three of them set off to Jingren Palace.
"Your Majesty, King Qin asked to see him, saying that there is something important to discuss." The emperor's personal eunuch slowly walked in and whispered in the emperor's ear.
I originally wanted him to wait in the imperial study, but when he saw Shen Nanfeng who hurriedly broke in, he frowned slightly, and looked at him with some reproach.
"Your Majesty, what the minister said today is related to the face of the entire imperial family, and I also ask the emperor to summon the crown prince and the imperial uncle into the palace." Shen Nanfeng leaned down, did not look at the emperor's reproachful eyes, and said pleadingly.
The queen was very dissatisfied with Shen Nanfeng's intrusion, and was about to say something, but when she saw the person following behind him, she was so surprised that she couldn't say anything, and even grabbed the emperor's arm in some fear.
Seeing the queen's frightened appearance, the emperor also saw that Hua Ze, who was given death by the queen, was still alive, without questioning, and asked the little eunuch to pass the prince into the palace.
"Wasn't Hanazawa given to die?" The emperor still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked Shen Nanfeng, who was sitting on the side.
Hua Ze looked up at the queen beside the emperor, there was some resentment in her eyes, but she didn't speak, she knew that it was not the time.
Shen Nanfeng looked at the queen's frightened appearance, and said a little frivolously: "Wait a minute, the emperor will naturally know." ”
Shen Huang knew that Yu Xizhou was taken away, and was discussing the next plan with Shen Yunchen, but when he heard the news that the emperor had summoned him, he thought that he was going to discuss how to deal with this matter together, and he was very happy.
The smile on his face froze when he saw Shen Nanfeng, who had been waiting for a long time, and Shen Yunchen's face changed slightly, and then he said hello to the emperor and the queen.
"I don't know what happened when my father summoned his sons into the palace?" Shen Huang looked at the emperor suspiciously, but he didn't notice that there was still a Yunxi standing beside him.
Shen Nanfeng slowly stood up, walked to Shen Huang's side, and said provocatively, "What's the matter?" Shouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know this? ”
Listening to Shen Nanfeng's words, Shen Huang's eyes were a little evasive, he looked up at the emperor's speechless appearance, and looked at the queen on the side for help.
Receiving her son's eyes for help, the queen gently touched the emperor's arm and asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, why did you call the emperor into the palace late at night?" ”
