Chapter 240: Concubine Xue is missing

When the government and the opposition gave Xiao Yishuo to death in unison, it was he who cared about the first emperor for a while, and secretly ordered someone to release Xiao Yishuo with a death row prisoner.

Emperor Cheng has been hiding this matter from Xiao Yu and King Yu, because the two also advocate the death of Xiao Yishuo.

King Yu stared at Emperor Cheng and sighed faintly: "Everyone says that the emperor is unkind and killed his own brother for the throne, but no one knows that he did not hesitate to risk his life in order to save the imperial brother who betrayed him. ”

Xiao Yu glanced at King Yu, and then looked at Emperor Cheng, and guessed probly, seeing that King Yu and Emperor Cheng were already in chaos at this time, he understood that he couldn't mess up, thinking of this, Xiao Yu cleared his throat and coughed: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, everything is just speculation, maybe Concubine Xue got lost on the way back to the palace, and it is not known, so the minister will send someone to find it." ”

Xiao Yu didn't leave, he was waiting for Emperor Cheng's will.

Emperor Cheng looked at the gray sky, shook his head slowly and said, "What Xiao Yu said is reasonable, I am worried about ......."

What to worry about Emperor Cheng did not say.

"Brother Huang, let the younger brother find it, the younger brother will definitely find Concubine Xue's sister-in-law well." King Yu looked at Emperor Cheng eagerly.

Emperor Cheng still looked up at the sky, and said very abruptly: "None of you know that I released Xiao Yishuo, but Prime Minister Lan had already expected that he was so calm, I'm afraid he had already expected Xiao Yishuo to come back." ”

King Yu and Xiao Yu exchanged a puzzled look with each other, neither of them could guess what Emperor Cheng was thinking at this time, and why he suddenly mentioned the long-missing Prime Minister Lan Guanglan.

Emperor Cheng turned around abruptly and beckoned to the two: "You two, follow me to the imperial study, maybe Prime Minister Lan knows where Concubine Xue went." ”

Xiao Yu's heart skipped half a beat, and as expected, Lan Guang was in the hands of Emperor Cheng.

In the imperial study, the painting axis rotated, the three people looked at each other, Emperor Cheng took the lead and went down the steps, followed by King Yu Xiao.

"Prime Minister Lan?!" Although Xiao Yan's voice was low, it could not hide his surprise.

King Yu looked much calmer.

"The criminal minister Lan Guang knocked to see my emperor, long live, and knocked to see the two princes, thousands of years old, thousands of years old." Lan Guang was calm, he was not a prisoner imprisoned here, but a guest favored by Emperor Cheng.

The three of them secretly admired Lan Guang's bearing.

"Lan Guang, if you know why I brought them here, don't act anymore!" Emperor Cheng hated Lan Guang very much, hated his confident and calm, hated his piercing eyes, and hated his omniscient arrogance.

Emperor Cheng and Lan Guang looked at each other, and in an instant, King Yu and Xiao Yu had an illusion, and Lan Guang's expression was like a mirror, reflecting Emperor Cheng's cold arrogance.

Lan Guang was silent, and King Yu stepped forward and said: "Prime Minister Lan, Concubine Xue is gone, the emperor wants to ask the prime minister if he knows where Niangniang usually likes to go?" ”

Lan Guang glanced at King Yu, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and praised: "Frozen top oolong, the tea in the palace is really good, King Yu doesn't taste it?" ”

Xiao Yu knew that Lan Guang had the intention to provoke Emperor Cheng, but he didn't understand why he did this, since Emperor Cheng brought them to the secret room, he had already explained that he intended to let Lan Guang go, and Lan Guang's attitude at this time seemed to be that he didn't want to leave this place.

King Xiao Yuyu looked at Emperor Cheng, Emperor Cheng sat down slowly, faced Lan Guang, took the teacup and drank it all, his thin lips buzzed, and he said for a while: "If the prime minister likes it, the prime minister can take such a good tea in the palace at will." ”

Lan Guang stared at Emperor Cheng and asked, "Does the emperor know why the old minister no longer asks for death?" ”

"Why?"

"Because the minister knows that once the minister dies, Xue Yi will definitely avenge the minister, does the emperor want to know how Xue Yi will avenge the minister?" Lan Guang took a sip of tea, seemingly discussing an extremely interesting matter.

Emperor Cheng's heart hurt for no reason.

Lan Guang looked at the tea cup in his hand, and said to himself: "The emperor must like Xue Yi very much, does the emperor know what he likes about Xue Yi?" I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know. Lao Chen also loves this daughter very much, Lao Chen likes her demure and intelligent, likes her down-to-earth generosity, likes her softness and rigidity, and likes her clear grievances......."

Tears fell in the tea cup in front of Lan Guang, and he leaned his neck to drink the tea, along with his own tears.

Emperor Cheng looked at Lan Guang in a daze, he suddenly found that he didn't know anything about Xue Yi, counting the days of the palace, he and Xue Yi had known each other for two years, and now that he thought about it, he didn't know what Xue Yi liked to eat, what to drink, what color he liked and what decorations he liked....... Xue Yi in his heart seemed to be his shadow, he was used to her presence, to her slightly sad smile, to her warm embrace when he was tired.

Does Xueyi love him? He didn't know!

Does he love Xueyi? Love is deep in the marrow, and he doesn't know it!

Accustomed to nature, the emperor with supreme power used to have everything he wanted, and once he couldn't catch it, he realized that he was just an ordinary man.

The never-before-seen Xiao Se swept over Emperor Cheng's resolute and arrogant handsome face, and it was fleeting.

"As far as I know, Concubine Xue has been shelved in the attic by you since she was a child, and you have never regarded her as your biological daughter, so why pretend to be a cat crying mouse today!" Lan Guang's true feelings were revealed, and Emperor Cheng scoffed.

"That's because the old minister doesn't want her to be contaminated with a trace of the palace!" Lan Guang looked directly at Emperor Cheng, his eyes like torches.

That kind of gaze made King Yu couldn't help but stand on end, and his hand couldn't help but fall on the saber at his waist.

Lan Guang raised his neck and drank the tea in the dry cup again, and said with a smile: "Why should King Yu be nervous, the old minister is nearly sixty years old, and besides, the old minister is a powerless Wenchen, how can he hurt the god in your heart." ”

Playful smile, intriguing eyes, insight into all the deep meanings, King Yu and Emperor Cheng seemed to be transparent in front of Lan Guang's eyes, Emperor Cheng really wanted to kill Lan Guang with one sword, but there was a voice in the dark that kept blocking him.

Emperor Cheng's eyes glanced at Xiao Yu who was resting with his eyes closed at the door.

Xiao Yu is an extremely intelligent person, and when he is not needed, he will hide himself.

Emperor Cheng coughed dryly: "Since Prime Minister Lan doesn't plan to help me find Xue Yi, I won't disturb Prime Minister to rest." ”

Emperor Cheng got up and wanted to leave, King Yu seemed to be unwilling, and wanted to ask Lan Guang, but was stopped by Emperor Cheng with his eyes.

He expected Lan Guang to stop him.

One step, two steps, three steps....... Emperor Cheng took a step, his heart beat with it, and his hand fell on the mechanism.

"The emperor stays!" Lan Guang finally spoke.

"Tonight, trouble Prince Xiao and King Yu to take the old minister out of the palace, tomorrow the old minister will rush to Fengshan, if my guess is not wrong, Xue Yi should be there Ji Wuyao."

"Ji Wuyao?!" Emperor Cheng's face was unusually ugly, his palms were clenched into fists, and both Xiao Yu and King Yu heard the rattling sound of their joints.

Once, Xiao Yichen and Ji Wuyao formed an alliance, and the token was Xue Yi, at that time, the two agreed: Ji Wuyao helped Xiao Yichen return to the Inviting Moon Country, Xiao Yichen married Lan Xuewu as a concubine, and the two of them wanted to stage a scene of catching rape in the marriage room, which made Lan Guang lose face and lose his beloved daughter.

After Xiao Yichen saw Xue Yi, he knew that she was pretending to be Xue Wu and saved her in Ji Wuyao's hands.

He always owes Ji Wuyao an explanation of a favor, and he also knows that Ji Wuyao likes Xue Yi, the blood jade bracelet and the jade pendant representing the owner of the Vulture Mountain Villa are the treasures that Ji Wuyao gave to Xue Yi, if Xue Yi is really with Ji Wuyao, no one can guarantee anything!

The murderous aura spreads in the basement!

"The emperor should believe in the character of the owner of Ji Zhuang, he ....... We won't take advantage of others. Xiao Yu saw that Emperor Cheng's forehead was bulging, his eyes were glowing red, and he stepped forward to stop in front of Emperor Cheng.

"Brother Huang, let the courtiers go and pick up Concubine Xue's sister-in-law back." King Yu also noticed the change in Emperor Cheng.

"I want to take Xue'er back to the palace in person." Word by word is the dignity of the royal family.

Lan Guang looked up to the sky and laughed, stopped abruptly and walked towards Emperor Cheng step by step, and asked aggressively: "In what capacity did the emperor go to see Ji Wuyao?" Xiao Yat-chen who came back from the dead? Or the emperor who ascended the throne as the fifth prince? ”

As soon as these words came out, King Yu and Xiao Yu each took a step back.

King Yu exclaimed in surprise and blurted out, "You know? How would you know?! ”

Lan Guang's words shocked the three people: "Because this scene was designed by me from beginning to end, I deliberately arranged Xue Yi by Xiao Yichen's side, I expected Xiao Yichen to be crippled, and I also expected him to fall in love with my Xue Yi, I deliberately married Xue Wu to Xiao Yishuo, in order to get the most real Xiao Yishuo's movements, I know the emperor's intentions, he wants to make the eldest prince Xiao Chengtian the crown prince, I know Xiao Chengtian too well, he has no intention of being the emperor at all, and the only ones who can make the Invite Yue Kingdom strong are the second prince Xiao Yichen and the fifth prince Xiao Luochen, but, The fifth prince is missing, and all the secret guards I sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion have not found him, so I have no choice but to help the second prince ascend the throne. ”

"The emperor should know now why the Yuwang Mansion will always save the day, right? should also know why Mama Gong would rather trade her life for mine, she doesn't want the emperor to feel guilty for the rest of his life after learning the truth. ”

"Why doesn't Mama tell the truth?" Emperor Cheng was skeptical.

"If Mama Gong said it at that time, would the emperor believe her?"

"How can you be sure I believe you?"

"The minister knows that the emperor is smart and wise, believe it or not, the emperor has already made up his mind in his heart, does the emperor still remember the emperor's imperial study to check the emperor's injury that day? If it weren't for the old minister's intention to cover up, would the emperor really think he would really hide it from the first emperor? I'm afraid that the emperor still doesn't know the first emperor's personality, and the emperor only thinks that Madame Butterfly has lost the first emperor, but have you ever thought that it was the first emperor who lost Madame Butterfly? Lan Guang smiled bitterly.

Emperor Cheng thought about it, he thought about all the possibilities, but he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"Maybe we're all wrong." King Yu looked at Emperor Cheng with thick eyes.

Emperor Cheng looked at King Yu, turned to stare at Lan Guang and asked, "What is Xue Yi doing when she goes to find Ji Wuyao?" ”
