Chapter 4: Worst Guess
"Ling Liang, this is ...... What do you think? Tell me about your doubts. ”
"This ...... The little ones don't dare to say. ”
Ling Liang raised his eyelids timidly, but he didn't dare to look up at the moon.
"Forgive you for your innocence, though the word comes."
"Yes. …… On the way back to the city, in addition to rushing and asking, the little one has been thinking of a possibility. ……”
Ling Liang swallowed his saliva and bent lower.
"The little one thinks that Bingling is deliberately delaying the hour in the city. Because she is very absent-minded in her selection of items, and constantly checks the height of the sun. When the little one proposed to go separately, Bingling agreed very simply, as if he was waiting for the little one to say this. ……”
"Well, why do you think Bingling is like this? What will her disappearance have to do with Qi Wen's disappearance? ”
"A little daring guess, will there be a possibility...... Bingling and the general who are eager to return to the city meet somewhere, and then the two ......"
Ling Liang secretly glanced at Yueyue's face, and his heart sank.
After sending Ling Liang to continue looking for traces of Bingling, the moon paced back and forth in the dark night sky restlessly.
Regarding Qi Wen, Huanyue has never seen it. It's not the rules and laws, it's that Qi Wen doesn't give her this opportunity.
When she was sixteen years old, the emperor betrothed her to Qi Wen, who was already a general of Zhengsi Zhongwu at that time. Since then, the moon has only known that such a person exists. He wanted to summon Qi Wen many times, but Qi Wen shirked it on the grounds of various military affairs. In desperation, Huanyue sneaked out of the palace with Bingling, and in the barracks, she still didn't see Qi Wen by mistake. However, Bingling had the opportunity to deliver letters and some small items to Qi Wen for the moon.
"Come to think of it, Bingling has indeed seen Qi Wen many times......"
The frowns of the moon became tighter and tighter, and the already fair face was reflected even more desolate under the halo of the miserable white moon buds.
"No, it won't!"
Yan Yue shook her head fiercely, pre-dumping her extremely bad guess.
Ice is very important to the moon. is not only an ordinary personal maid, but also like a sister who is not related by blood but is as close as a relative, and a friend who has nothing to talk about. Coupled with the sensitivity of the nerves, if Bingling had a different heart for her and Qi Wen had thoughts, she felt that it was impossible for her not to be aware of it.
At this time, Yan Yue would rather believe that Qi Wen had an accident, or elope with another woman to escape the holy decree marriage with her, rather than guess Bingling's betrayal of herself.
The disappearance of an important minister of a country will inevitably cause a shock in the court. Especially the auxiliary generals with heavy troops are involved.
Originally, it was expected that after Qi Wen and Yuyue got married, Qi Wen would be transferred back to the capital to guard Chang'an. The Emperor's anxiety was even greater than that of the Moon. In the case of secret transmission, the emperor sent elite soldiers and strong generals to search for Qi Wen's whereabouts in a low-key manner around Chang'an City.
Common sense says that Xianyue and Qi Wen did not pay homage, and Qi Wen did not receive the holy decree when the princess sedan chair arrived, and the two were not considered married according to the law of the Tang Dynasty.
But the people of Chang'an all knew this fact, and most of the idle people watched the magnificent scene of the princess's marriage. Now the groom is missing, the wedding has not been completed, and the royal face has been thrown to the ground as if he did not want money, and he is trampled on.
Although the elder brother of the moon is a son of heaven, everything is important to the happiness of the moon, regardless of the opposition of the courtiers, he sent someone to recruit the moon to return to the palace immediately.
"Eldest Princess, where are you going? Aren't you going back to the palace? ”
"No return."
Ignoring Fei Qing, who temporarily replaced Bingling, the personal maid, she took off the woman's bun and combed her long black hair into a high upturned ponytail. Changed into a white and blue embroidered pattern, a light military uniform, and removed all the excess gold and silver jewelry, leaving only one of the trophies sent by Qi Wen two years ago, a Yue'er bud jade pendant.
