Returning to the palace from the palace, Eunuch Zheng has been restless. After the prince went out from the palace to drive the East Palace from the afternoon to Ning, the meaningful words were still in his ears: Yu Qing is a loyal martyr, and the palace is convinced, and the matter of returning to protect the righteous daughter of Zheng Hou will be done this time, but the two of them still need to pay more attention to the little girl on weekdays. I don't know if his heart is evil, but Zheng Hou's vision of people is still reassuring. In the future, it will be hard for Zheng Hou to train a lot or two.

"Your Highness Xie's trust."

"Your Highness, you have already seen why you still let the little girl leave in the palace today?" Eunuch Zheng couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, two years ago was the time when the palace and the king of Han were competing for the crown prince, the palace knew that the military merits were not as good as the king of Han, in order to build some merit in front of the emperor, so that day the secret order of the old capital commander to put a suspicious ship into the port, so that Yu Qing and the two of them mixed in, for me to inquire about the rebellion, who knows that although the merit is there, it has also caused today's disaster. If it is discussed, the sins of this temple under selfishness are not small. Today, the temple saw that although your righteous daughter was young, she dared to go to the palace to avenge her brother's revenge, and her family friendship is really admirable, but she is the brother of our mother's compatriots...... Don't talk about these, by the way, Zheng Hou's palace looks at your righteous daughter seems to have good martial arts, you also know that the prince's side concubine Li grew up in the army earlier, and few maids in this palace can take advantage of her heart, I want your righteous daughter to come to the palace to accompany the Li family more in the future, I don't know if your righteous father may agree? ”

"Back to Your Highness, the minister is afraid, my righteous daughter is from the grass after all, how can she accompany the nobles of the heavenly family."

"Hey, Zheng Hou really believes in the main hall, not to mention the daughter of Zheng Hou, besides, this female main hall seems to have seen it there, and she has some eyes. And so it was decided. ”

"Minister...... Yes, sir. ”

The lamp and candle were lit, the door was closed, and Eunuch Zheng sat alone on the wooden chair, and the picture just now flashed through his mind over and over again: What is the meaning of the prince's words of calling the two of us to the East Palace alone? Ah Ning She is just an ordinary girl who knows some martial arts, how can she make the prince feel that she has seen it, this prince knows that I am close to the King of Han, but he told me about the transfer of Jinyi Wei two years ago. What did he mean by that? Is it trying to woo me? Or do you want to use my mouth to warn King Han?

For a while, countless question marks turned from Zheng Dajian's heart, but he couldn't figure out the slightest clue. Bang bang, the louder and louder knock of the old butler outside the door pulled him back from his thoughts.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye?" The old butler's voice also began to grow louder.

"What's the matter?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, just now the old slave went to Miss Ning's place to deliver dinner, but the next person replied to Miss Ning since she entered the palace with the Hou Ye but never came back, the old servant at first thought that the girl was going to Yu Gongzi's place as a guest, and did not report to the Hou Ye, until the maid who accompanied Miss Ning to the palace just now came back and said that Miss Ning did not come out of the palace at all, and the old slave realized that something was wrong and hurriedly came to report to the Hou Ye."

"What? Aning, she didn't come back? Before the old servant outside the door came in, Eunuch Zheng, who had listened to half of it, had already left his seat and got up, pushed the door and looked at the old servant.

The old servant standing outside the door obviously didn't expect that Eunuch Zheng would suddenly open the door, and when the door was opened, he almost sat back and fell to the ground.

"It's Master Hou, the old slave has asked the maid just now, and she said......" The old servant replied in shock.

"Don't talk about it yet, quickly send someone to the Fuyang Hou Mansion to invite the prince over, and say that Ben Hou has something urgent to find him." Eunuch Zheng interrupted the old servant's speech, frowned and shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes." The old servant was about to run forward.

"Wait, it's almost curfew at this moment, don't say it's me when you go, just say that A-Ning has something urgent to find her." Eunuch Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately changed his words.

…………………………………………………………………

According to this, the Fuyang Hou Mansion is not far away, but there are only two teas, and Yu Mian and Fuyang Hou Li Maofang, who are carrying wine, have already rushed to the door of the Hou Mansion on fast horses.

"Hey~ Brother Li, Sansan is looking for me, what are you doing here?" Yu Mian, who was a little slurred after drinking, just jumped off the horse and saw Li Maofang behind him and asked.

"Jing Zhan, I heard that you got drunk today because that Miss Ning accused you from above the court, and she suddenly called you for something late at night, and the foolish brother couldn't rest assured that you had that temperament, so I came over...... Rest assured, Brother Fool will not spoil your good deeds. ”

The two of them were talking, but their steps were not slow, and they followed the old servant in the direction of the middle.

At this moment, Eunuch Zheng was stepping back and forth in the house, and when he happened to look back and see Yu and Li, Eunuch Zheng hurriedly got up and went out to greet him.

"Hey, uncle, it's not that the housekeeper said that Sansan has something to look for me, why are you waiting here?" Yu Mian asked.

"Virtuous nephew, don't ask again, tell the old man if the girl has gone to your side. The old man had been thinking about it here for a long time, and he had no clue. Oh, Fuyang Hou has also arrived. The anxious Eunuch Zheng didn't have time to be polite, and hurriedly dragged the two of them to the house.

"Uncle Zheng, but something happened to Miss A-Ning, why did you suddenly panic so much?" When he saw Zheng Dajian at a glance, he saw Yu Mian first, and then saw himself, which was obviously out of proportion. Li Maofang hurriedly sat down and asked.

"The next person came back to report that A-Ning had not returned to the Taoist Mansion since the two of me entered the palace. I'm in a hurry, so I can only ask you to come and ask. Eunuch Zheng didn't have time to call someone to serve tea again, so he said in a loud voice.

"What did you say, uncle? Sansan hasn't come back yet, but she has been sent out of the palace by the prince before noon, why don't you know now. Yu Mian heard Eunuch Zheng's anxious and fast tone, and most of the wine in his heart suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly asked.

"Virtuous nephew, the old man is also a suitable talent, at this time, it is true that the old man is not strict in disciplining his subordinates, but at this moment, he can't take care of so much. It just so happens that the Marquis of Fuyang is also here, you should think about where this girl will go, there will be a curfew in the capital, if she is caught by the night forbidden army. ”

"Oh no, I'm going out to find her." Before Eunuch Zheng finished speaking, Yu Mian had already stood up from the chair and rushed to the door, but Li Maofang beside him grabbed him and said, "Jing Zhan, you are confused." ”

"Brother Li, what is not confused, if you don't go out now, if something happens to Sansan, I will regret it to death." As he spoke, Yu Mian broke free of Li Maofang's wrist and ran out of the courtyard, where could Li Maofang hold him with the momentum that suddenly rose. Seeing that Yu Mian had already put on a posture and was about to jump up from the courtyard and rush into the distance, the courtyard only heard the sound of splashing water, but Yu Mian's head, which had not yet jumped, had been poured with cold water, and at the same time that the cold water was poured on him, the sound of porcelain breaking also sounded.

"Jing Zhan, you don't know where Miss Zhining is. Where do you find it? ”

"That's better than waiting here, maybe she's lost somewhere, waiting for us to find her." Yu Mian's leaping momentum was blocked, and he said with hatred in his mouth.

"Jing Zhan, don't be impulsive when you wait, it seems that Marquis Zheng hasn't finished the information yet. It's not too late for you to know the direction and look for it. Li Maofang was already close to him, but he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that he would startle Yu Mian, who was already about to lose his cool, if he walked forward, he could only stand in place and continue to persuade.

Fuyang Hou was originally just trying to speak, wanting to wait for his friends for many years, but who knew that Yu Mian, whose eyes were already red and about to drip blood, actually heard his words, only to see Yu Mian lower his head and grit his teeth hard, there was a creaking sound between his teeth, and he supported his body with both arms, but he staggered towards the house.

"Look at your appearance, thanks to Uncle Zheng's subordinates who didn't come in, otherwise you would have worn out like this, how would you meet people in Beijing in the future." Fuyang Hou followed closely behind Yu Mian and muttered like his mother-in-law.

"Uncle Zheng, Sansan, she ......" Yu Mian entered the house but ignored him and asked directly to Marquis Zheng

"Yu Mian, don't be in a hurry, I am naturally very anxious when something happens to the little girl, but if you go out rashly, where to find someone in the vast capital, Shicai followed Sansan, and I also called you up. followed A-Ning to the palace, and waited for the maid outside the palace to come back and report that A-Ning had not come out since he entered the palace, so it seems that Sansan should have been trapped in the palace by someone. Seeing Yu Mian like this, Eunuch Zheng began to calm down and said.

"Trapped in the palace? Now that the emperor is on an expedition to Mobei, who else can command the people in the palace besides the prince. Yu Mian, who had calmed down a little, muttered.

"Uncle, otherwise, you will send someone to summon that maid first, and maybe ask for some information." Fuyang Hou Li Maofang said on the side.

After a short pause, a maid had trotted in from the courtyard into the room and knelt down.

"This little girl, don't be afraid, slowly think about what else you encountered outside when Miss Ning entered the palace today." Li Maofang gently patted the pear blossom who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and asked the little girl who was only eight or nine years old when she was only eight or nine years old.

"Back to the master, the slave maid followed the two sedan chair men today, waiting for Miss Ning outside the palace gate, until noon the young lady has not returned, and then the maid waited anxiously to go home and ask if the lady went back, the sedan chair man told the maid that it seems that the lord and other nobles were kept by the prince for lunch and have not tasted it, and the two of them were hungry and panicked and went to eat not far away first, leaving the maid to wait at the door, and then the two of them came back to the maid to wait for two pieces of bread, so that the maid hid in the corner to eat, but the maid was afraid that the lady would come out by mistake, so he did not dare to eatDuring this period, he waited until it was dark, and the maid felt that something was wrong, so he ran back to tell the housekeeper first. ”

"Confused, don't you know that Ben Hou has returned, why don't you come in and report to Ben Hou?" Zheng Dajian said angrily.

"It's the master, the maid has a low status, and I want to enter but can't enter your courtyard." The little maid knelt on the ground and said timidly.

"Little girl, if you reminisce about your memories, won't anyone else say anything to you during this period?" Fuyang Hou squinted his eyes and leaned over again and asked.

"No, no...... No, oh yes, when the servant heard the general guarding the city change his guard, he mentioned that Concubine Li actually wanted to see a flat-headed person, and she called it strange. ”

"Concubine Li? Commoners? Today, there should be only Miss Ning in the white body in the palace, could it be that she was invited to the palace by the crown princess? But there are rules in the palace that people who have never been allowed to stay overnight. How could Miss Ning stay so late? Fuyang Hou frowned and wondered.

"Concubine Li? Yu Mian, do you remember that His Royal Highness said at the end today that he would let Ah Ning accompany Concubine Li for a few days, is this the answer to what His Royal Highness said? ”

Yu Mian was silent.

"Uncle Zheng, Your Highness has such a thing today? That's reassuring. After Zheng hesitated for a moment and said to him, Fuyang Hou patted his heart with a smile reassuringly.

"No, since His Royal Highness said that he would let Sansan enter the palace to accompany Concubine Li in the future, it will definitely not be today, His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and the words will not be so ambiguous, besides, although we are coming out from the direction of the East Palace. But if Sansan is invited by Concubine Li, he will definitely come out with us. Just now, Brother Li also said that in the palace, he can't afford to stay overnight in vain, so he doesn't want to ask me to go to the palace to make it clear. As he spoke, Yu Mian got up and walked to the door again.

But this time, Li Maofang, Marquis of Fuyang, was prepared.

I saw that Yu Mian had just arrived at the door, but a black shadow had blocked his way, only to hear Fuyang Hou hurriedly say: "Jing Zhan, aren't you drunk and faint?" Do you know where you're going? ”

"Brother Li, I have never been so sober in my life as I am at this moment, I naturally know where I am going." Yu Mian stretched out his hand to push the figure away, and said indifferently.

"Jing Zhan, Jing Zhan, Yu Jing Zhan, are you sober or confused, that is the palace, if you don't go to the edict on weekdays, you will be convicted of breaking into the palace by the defenders, and even I, the marquis, can't enter casually, not to mention you, the son of the prefect, how clever you are when you usually encounter trouble, how come you get dizzy when you come to this Ning girl, and want to send her to death?" The angry Fuyang Hou spoke quickly and quickly, and said a lot directly.

"Li Maofang, if you were a brother, you wouldn't stop me, I had abandoned her once, do you want me to abandon her a second time?" Yu Mian, who was even more anxious, struck an elbow on Fuyang Hou's arm and began to shout loudly.

"Jing Zhan, I advise you one last time, if you break into the palace at this moment, the foolish brother will definitely accompany you, but for the sake of Miss Ning, will you gamble your parents, brothers, and the people of the Nine Clans with my life on this Chongguan Anger?" After speaking, Fuyang Hou Teng stepped aside and stood aside.

The figure that had just wanted to rush forward froze in place.

"Brother Li, why do you persuade me like this." The figure standing in place asked.

"Jingzhan, I'm sorry. Foolish brother wants to help you, not to hurt you. The sound of the bang sounded, and Yu Mian, who was still standing in place in a daze during that sentence, was pressed to the ground by a grappling card. Later, Li Maofang's family, who rushed over and waited outside the door, immediately handed over the rope and tied up the crown.

This night, the mansion of Huan Haihou was resounded all night long like a beast.

Three-three, where are you?
