Chapter 519: Shocking (1)
Missing?!
This can't be, this must be a trick, it's a conspiracy!
Wei Feng's face was bruised, and he said to his subordinates hatefully: "The nine gates in the palace are all locked, and no one is allowed to escape. With that, he raised his horsewhip and galloped all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
He was going to see Meng Xilan, but he asked what tricks she was playing?
Riding all the way, everything around him was soon shrouded in thick smoke, and with the gust of north wind, the fire became more and more intense, and the eunuch and palace maid who came out of nowhere, her face was dark, as if she was crazy, ran towards him, and almost startled his horse.
Standing outside the palace, all he could see was smoke, and now, he could see the raging fire in the distance, which burned the sky red.
The Palace of Heart Cultivation is located in the center of the entire palace, and there is no need to worry about being implicated in the fire for a while. Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wei Feng turned over and dismounted, hurriedly ran up the steps, and broke in angrily.
When he reached the door, he heard movement inside.
He pushed the door in, and saw Meng Xilan at a glance, she was plain, with a little dust on her skirt, and she was instructing Zhulu and Baozhu to sort out the books on the bookcase, some useless things.
Her expression was unhurried, especially after seeing him, the corners of her lips curled slightly, as if she was smiling.
Wei Feng's hands tightly grasped the saber at his waist, and he approached her step by step.
Seeing this, Zhulu and Baozhu hurriedly put down the things in their hands and protected them in front of their master.
Wei Feng stared at Meng Xilan's face, feeling that he didn't need to ask anything.
The fire must have something to do with her. And she must know the whereabouts of the crown prince.
Wei Feng stretched out his hand and pushed away the bamboo dew that was blocking in front of him, took off the sword tied to his waist, put it heavily on the bookcase, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, what's going on with this fire?" ”
Meng Xilan looked at the person in front of her steadily, frowned and replied, "General Wei, what does this mean?" ”
"This is a sign of natural disasters, what does it have to do with Niangniang?"
Wei Feng smiled at them, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, aren't you worried at all?" ”
Meng Xilan's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this, she held back her tears, and shook her head again and again: "No, the prince must still be in the palace, but the fire is too fierce, and you haven't found him yet......"
Wei Feng looked at the mist in her eyes, and felt that she was acting again.
"Niangniang, don't worry, even if Weichen turns this palace upside down, no, even if he turns this capital upside down, he will find His Royal Highness the Prince. If Chen can't find him, then Wechen will do whatever it takes to find his whereabouts! ”
Meng Xilan closed her eyes when she heard this, and hot tears slipped down her pale cheeks, drop by drop.
She was convinced in her heart that if they couldn't find him, they would never ......
Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the hall.
"General, Zhen Huamen and Hua'anmen are out of control, and many palace slaves and eunuchs take advantage of the chaos to escape...... The people outside the palace also mixed in, wanting to run in and rob the treasure......"
"General, we just found a corpse in the prince's dormitory...... His body and face were already scorched, but he had a jade pendant hanging from him. ”
The man said as he presented the jade pendant.
Zhulu lowered her eyes and looked at it, and was the first to exclaim: "Ah...... This is Your Highness! ”
Meng Xilan looked at the jade pendant steadily, pretended to take a few steps back in a hurry, and then fainted directly in front of Wei Feng, as if she couldn't bear such a heavy blow.
Wei Feng was beside him, looking at it coldly.
"You bring that corpse in, and as for those who take advantage of the chaos to escape, you can't let go of any of them, whether they want to come in or get out, they will all be killed!"
Zhulu's heart pounded when she heard this, and she walked to Niangniang's side and held her hand hard.
Meng Xilan still pretended to be unconscious, and swiped her palm with her fingertips to indicate that it was okay.
That jade pendant must have fallen there on purpose. This may be the attention of high welfare, or perhaps the idea of Changsheng himself.
Zhulu and Baozhu helped Meng Xilan to the couch to rest, and then turned to Wei Feng and said, "Niangniang needs to rest, please don't disturb him." Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is missing, it is your responsibility to find him back! ”
She gritted her teeth when she said it, which made Wei Feng's mood even more annoyed.
His face turned blue, turned around angrily, and left with his subordinates. He knew that he had to find the prince, otherwise, things would be in trouble, very troublesome.
This fire burned for one night, nine palace gates, three were destroyed, many people from the outer city took advantage of the chaos to pour into the palace, they saw what to rob, but unfortunately, before the things in hand were sent out of the palace, they had already died tragically under the cold swords of the guards.
"Kill or kill!" This is Wei Feng's only order.
From the hour to the third hour, the fire in the palace was finally extinguished.
Although the fire was extinguished, the loss in the palace was extremely heavy. Chuxiu Palace, Xianyang Palace, and Qixia Palace were almost all burned by the fire, leaving only a mess.
There were countless deaths and injuries in the palace, and the people who lived in the miscellaneous office that originally housed typhoid fever patients were all killed by the thick smoke caused by the fire, and none of them were spared.
As for the corpse in the prince's womb, no one can be sure whether he is the crown prince or not...... Wei Feng personally examined the corpse, that person was not a eunuch, but his face was all burned, his face was hateful, and even his facial features were difficult to distinguish, let alone any clues from this face.
However, even if this corpse was so unsightly, Wei Feng still decided to let Meng Xilan see it in person.
He wanted to see for herself and see how she reacted.
After Meng Xilan fell into a coma, Jiao Changqing appeared in time, and this fire did not affect the Tai Hospital, so he waited until he waited
The fire was brought under control, and only later did he come to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Everything went according to plan.
Jiao Changqing held Meng Xilan's hand and wrote a word in her palm.
"Ann."
Meng Xilan's eyelashes trembled slightly, but her eyes were still closed, and a tear gradually condensed from the corner of her eye.
Zhulu waited quietly on the side, and when she saw the corners of her master's mouth twitching, she knew that the matter had been done.
She lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and was about to turn away, but saw Baozhu come in in a panic: "They brought a corpse over." ”
Zhu Lu was startled when she heard this, and looked back at Jiao Changqing.
Jiao Changqing's face was heavy, Wei Feng would not give up.
Wei Feng instructed his subordinates to carry the corpse to the inner hall and to Meng Xilan's eyes.
Jiao Changqing stepped forward, stood up and said, "Niangniang, your body is very weak now, don't be embarrassed for her." ”
Ignoring Jiao Changqing's dissuasion, Wei Feng directly picked up a glass of water on the table and threw it directly at Meng Xilan.
"Get up and see if this is your crown prince......"
"You! You presumptuous and shameless villain! ”
Seeing this, Zhulu stepped forward and threw her a resounding slap.
Meng Xilan had to wake up, and in the chaos before the meeting, she lifted the quilt on her body, staggered to her feet, and walked towards the corpse covered with a white cloth.
Wei Feng looked at her coldly, refusing to let go of any subtle expression on her face.
It wasn't his child, just an unknown stranger.
The moment the white cloth was lifted, Zhulu and Baozhu turned pale with fright, turned away, and retched.
Jiao Changqing also frowned, pursed his lips, and forced himself to calm down.
No matter how ugly the corpse is, he has seen it, it is nothing at all.
Meng Xilan looked at the corpse with a faint gaze, biting her lower lip tightly, and was half silent.
That's not his child......
Meng Xilan slowly stretched out her hand in front of Wei Feng, gently stroking the charred face of the corpse, not afraid of dirty her hands at all.
Not only that, but she also held the corpse in her arms and cried loudly.
Wei Feng lowered his eyes and watched her every move coldly.
Seeing this, Zhulu and Baozhu also bowed their heads and wept, as if that person was really the prince.
"Niangniang, is he really the prince?"
Meng Xilan cried more and more, her shoulders kept shaking, but she still didn't say a word.
Zhulu and Baozhu also stepped forward, crying bitterly around the corpse, Jiao Changqing took a few steps forward, grabbed the corpse's arm, and said: "The body shape of this corpse is ninety percent similar to His Royal Highness the Prince, they are the same age, and there is an old wound with a broken ankle on the left foot!" ”
He said that the head is the Tao, and it is clear at a glance.
Because this stand-in was found by him personally.
Wei Feng lowered his tone and questioned him: "Imperial Doctor Jiao, do you dare to guarantee with your life that this corpse is the prince?" ”
Jiao Changqing's eyes sank: "The minister is not 100% sure, but they are indeed ninety percent similar." Wechen has always taken care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to grow up, and no one knows His Royal Highness the Prince's physical condition better than Wechen. ”
His vague attitude made Wei Feng mad with anger, he grabbed the front of his clothes, brought him to him, glared at him and said, "You just have to answer me, yes or no?" ”
Jiao Changqing lowered his gaze, turned his head to look at Meng Xilan, who couldn't stop crying, and sighed: "Isn't all this in front of you enough to prove Weichen's judgment?" Your Highness, he ......"
He deliberately said this, and then said no more, opening his mouth and biting his fist with trembling anger.
How could Wei Feng easily believe them, she didn't believe that this was the crown prince.
He ordered someone to carry the corpse out again, Meng Xilan cried until her limbs were weak, she grabbed the corpse's arm, raised her eyes to look at him, and couldn't stop her tears: "Where are you going to take him?" ”
Wei Feng snorted contemptuously: "If he is really the crown prince, how can Weichen let him show the public so violently." ”
Hearing this, Meng Xilan slowly let go of her hand, and then lowered her head to cover her chest, pretending to be distressed.
Wei Feng said again: "The guards killed many palace slaves who wanted to escape at the city gate. Wechen was going to go over and inspect the body himself...... Of course, Wechen may have other gains. ”
Meng Xilan just lowered her head and wept when she heard this, and didn't say anything.
The more she didn't say anything, the more anxious he became. He didn't know anything about the crown prince, so he desperately wanted someone to help him figure out whether the prince was dead or escaped.
