The corner of his eye squinted at Gong Yi, as early as the day Concubine Xiu first entered the palace, Emperor Cheng knew that Concubine Xiu was not Gong Yi's daughter Gong Zhixiu, he was just not sure whether this matter was done by Yu Sheng alone, or whether Gong Yi and Yu Sheng joined forces.

Regardless of whether Gong Yi was unintentional or intentional, the matter of Shangyuan Festival was like a thorn stuck in Emperor Cheng's throat, he must warn Gong Yi and remind him of his identity, his glory and wealth were all given by Emperor Cheng, the emperor.

Emperor Cheng suddenly snapped and said, "Gongyi, do you know what crime you have committed?!" ”

"Imperial ....... Emperor........ Your Majesty, the ministers ......." Gong Yi stammered and couldn't speak, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell on the marble floor tiles.

The fifth prince came in and whispered beside Emperor Cheng.

The thin lips rose slightly, and Emperor Cheng waved his hand to signal the fifth duke to go down.

"Gong Yi, you come and tell me who the woman in the painting is!" A scroll of paintings flew out of Emperor Cheng's hand and landed in front of Gong Yi.

Gong Yi just glanced at the woman in the painting, closed his eyes tightly, and said secretly: It's over, it's all over!

Emperor Cheng saw Gong Yi lying on the ground and collapsed into a ball, only trembling, and said seemingly plainly: "I have issued an order to strictly investigate this woman who is pretending to be Concubine Xiu, Gong Aiqing, don't you know that someone is pretending to be your daughter and swindling outside, isn't it a big crime?!" ”

Gong Yi heard Emperor Cheng say this, as if he saw a glimmer of dawn in the dark night, and nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, the minister deserves to die, and the minister immediately went to find out who was bold enough to dare to pretend to be Concubine Xiu." ”

"Slow!" Emperor Cheng stopped Gong Yi, who was about to climb down, pointed to the painting on the ground, and said unhurriedly: "Gong Aiqing, presumably you don't want this woman in the painting to have any mistakes, I want to see people and corpses in life, do you understand?" ”

Gong Yi lost his mind and didn't understand Emperor Cheng's intentions for a while.

Emperor Cheng smiled with a deep meaning, looked at Gong Yi and said: "I think this woman must have some relationship with Concubine Xiu in the palace, otherwise why don't you pretend to be her, you must pretend to be Concubine Xiu, don't you say?" Gong Aiqing. ”

Gong Yi couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground at this time, and he couldn't say a word except nodding. He didn't know how he left the imperial study, stumbled all the way back to the imperial mansion, fell on the bed, and his mind was quickly turning the scene of Shicai's meeting with Emperor Cheng, thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out whether the emperor knew the truth.

After a long time, Gong Yi opened his eyes, and there was a self-portrait of his daughter Gong Zhixiu hanging on the wall, a long skirt with a green heart, a small jacket with a light green shoulder, and a pair of cloud brocade embroidered shoes on the side of the skirt seemed to be dewy, the cloud temples were fluffy, and the side head was smiling skillfully with flowers. ＥＴ

Gong Yi stood up, his trembling fingers fell on the portrait, and the old tears were rampant: "Daughter, where are you now?" Daddy just hopes that in this life, our father and daughter will never see each other again......."

"Sir, who are you talking to?" Mrs. Gong pushed the door open.

Gong Yi hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his back to Mrs. Gong, and said in a deep voice: "I'm a little uncomfortable, I'll talk about something later." ”

Seeing that Gong Yi's expression was wrong, Mrs. Gong turned around and stared at Gong Yi and asked, "Is it for Shang'er that the emperor passed on the old man to enter the palace?" Why is the old man crying? ”

Mrs. Gong was shocked, and Gong Yi hurriedly turned around: "Who said that the old man was crying, the old man was blinded by the sand on the way back just now, my body is really uncomfortable, you go out first." ”

Mrs. Gong naturally didn't believe that Gong Yi was blinded by the sand, so she said as she walked out: "Shang'er has entered the palace to find Niangniang, even if the emperor blames him, don't be too sad, I think Niangniang will have a way." ”

"What did you say?!" Gong Yi heard his wife say that Gong Shangyi entered the palace, and sat on the chair in a daze.

"Mother, I'm back." There was a shout outside the door, and Gong Shangyi walked in with brisk steps.

"Shang'er, why did it take so long to come back, I'm so worried about my mother." Mrs. Gong didn't care about Gong Yi, who looked strange, and walked out with her son.

Gong Yi jumped up and didn't care about his previous image, ran out at a trot, grabbed Gong Shangyi's arm and asked again and again: "Have you seen Niangniang?" What did she say? Do you notice anything wrong? ”

Gong Shangyi looked at his father suspiciously, then looked at his mother, and said: "I saw my mother, she blamed me for not causing trouble, but she also promised that I would go to the emperor to intercede, there is nothing wrong." ”

Gong Yi stared at his son and asked, "Have you seen Concubine Xiu herself?" Where did you see it? ”

"Daddy, what's wrong with you today? Did something happen to my sister in the palace? It's impossible, she's fine just now, but she's infected with the wind and cold, and her voice is a little wrong, and there's nothing else. Gong Shangyi looked at his father.

"So you just heard Niangniang's voice and didn't see Niangniang herself?" Gong Yi hung down his arm like a deflated ball.

Gong Shangyi nodded: "Yes, I just talked to my mother through the curtain for a while and came out, Daddy, do you and my sister have something to hide from us?" Gong Shangyi usually looks very arrogant and reckless and rough, but he really loves his sister Gong Zhixiu.

"What can I hide from you, since my mother promised to help you intercede, this matter will naturally pass, Daddy just hopes that you will remember this lesson, and you must not go out to cause trouble for your sister in the future." Gong Yi looked at his son helplessly, turned around and went back to his room.

"Mother, why do I think Dad is weird." Gong Shangyi looked at Gong Yi's back and looked at his mother.

Mrs. Gong nodded: "Your father just cried, I heard him say in a trance that it is better not to meet again for the rest of your life, Shang'er, did you say that your father still has a family outside." ”

"Mother, where do you want to go, don't you know my father's personality, it must be my sister who has been wronged in the palace, see how I will clean up that dog emperor in the future!" Gong Shangyi said fiercely.

"Shang'er, shut up! This is a big sin of the Nine Clans, and I will never dare to say it in the future! Mrs. Gong was only frightened.

"Hmph, mother, you don't have to be afraid, the palace looks luxurious and beautiful, but it's just an empty shell, if there is no Gong family, sooner or later it will be destroyed! My mother didn't know, but now there was a big incident in the palace, and my sister was in a hurry to send me out. Gong Shangyi raised his neck and said proudly.

"What's the big deal? Will your sister be implicated? Mrs. Gong was a little worried.

Gong Shangyi didn't speak, he went back to his room, he was kicked by Xiao Yu last night, and he was reprimanded by his father today, and he was worried that the emperor would really condemn him, and he didn't feel anything, but now he knows that it's okay, but he only feels a hot pain in his legs and stomach.

Gong Shangyi sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the bruises on his legs, and said with hatred in his heart: "Xiao Yan, you wait for Lao Tzu to see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" ”

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Gong Shangyi's mouth, and he knew that the palace had no time to trouble him recently.

There was a big incident in the palace, and the emperor did not have an early dynasty.

Because Concubine Xue is missing!

Emperor Cheng deliberately scared the snake, while letting Gong Yi see that he suspected the origin of Concubine Xiu, and at the same time asked him to arrest the woman who took the name of Concubine Xiu. Just as Emperor Cheng was preparing for the early dynasty, the fifth father-in-law hurriedly ran over and whispered to him that Concubine Xue had not returned overnight!

Emperor Cheng didn't care at first, he went out of the palace to watch the lights last night, and Xue Yi stayed in Luofeng Tower, which was hidden from the Queen Mother and everyone in the palace, and Emperor Cheng only needed to send someone to pick up Xue Yi back to the palace in the past.

"Concubine Xue is in Luofeng Tower, you quietly sent someone to pick her up and go back to the palace, remember, go to Xunyang Gate, don't let people see it." Emperor Cheng asked the fifth prince to pick up Xue Yi back to the palace.

The fifth father-in-law not only did not receive the decree, but knelt down on his knees and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is not in Luofeng Tower, just now Prince Xiao and King Yu entered the palace together, and said, ......."

"Say what?"

"Say....... said that Concubine Xue was missing. The fifth prince was lying on the ground, he knew very well how important Concubine Xue was to the emperor.

"What about them?!" Emperor Cheng grabbed the arms of the fifth duke, the fifth duke grinned in pain, and he clearly heard the squeaking sound of his arm.

"Your Majesty....... The two princes are in ....... In the Hall of Virtue. Cold sweat slipped down the temples of the fifth father-in-law.

Emperor Cheng's face was pale, and he threw off the five dukes and quickly swept towards the Qiande Palace.

In the Qiande Palace, Xiao Yu and King Yu leaned on both sides of the palace door, looking at the ground under their feet, no one spoke, early this morning the two rushed to Luofeng Lou almost at the same time to pick up Xue Yi back to the palace, I don't want the palace door to be closed, the palace maid who went in to look for Xue Yi did not find Xue Yi, the two broke into the door, the neat bedding folded on the phoenix couch, there was an extra set of apricot yellow Luo skirt, both of them recognized that it was Xue Yi last night's clothes.

The two of them almost searched for the places where Shuangfeng City Xue Yi might go, but they searched all over to no avail, so they entered the palace to face the saint.

"Xiao Yan, fifth brother, what's going on?" Emperor Cheng didn't care about breathing, grabbed Xiao Yu's shoulder and looked at King Yu.

Xiao Yu knelt on the ground and said, "The minister deserves death!" ”

"If you can really die 10,000 times, if you can die 10,000 times and you can get Xue Yi back, I will definitely fulfill you!" Emperor Cheng gritted his back molars and said fiercely.

King Yu pulled up Xiao Yu and persuaded: "The disappearance of Concubine Xue is not the fault of the prince, why should the prince blame himself so much, now is not the time to discuss who is guilty or not, the most important thing now is to find Concubine Xue, brother Huang, what do you say?" ”

Emperor Cheng's sword eyebrows tightened, and his fist fell fiercely on the Nanmu pillar: "I shouldn't have taken her out of the palace, but left her in Luofeng Tower, fifth brother, I'm just afraid that she met Xiao Yishuo on the way back to the palace!" ”

The blood slowly seeped out along Emperor Cheng's tiger's mouth, and the black eyes staring at King Yu darkened like a deep pool.

"No, no, Xiao Yishuo has been beheaded, how can he appear?" Xiao Yu shook his head.

Emperor Cheng gritted his teeth and said word by word: "It was not Xiao Yishuo who was beheaded at the noon gate!" ”
