Old lady Xiao stepped forward: "General Suo, why are you here?" ”

Suo Meng took out the holy decree and read it aloud: "Your Majesty has a decree, Princess Xuan Yongjia will enter the palace immediately." ”

Old lady Xiao immediately instructed Steward Xiao: "Go to the sixth room and invite the princess to come over." ”

Suo Meng added: "Tell Princess Yongjia that you don't have to dress up and change your clothes, and you will follow me into the palace immediately." ”

Steward Xiao said yes, turned around and ran to the sixth room.

When Old Lady Xiao heard Suo Meng's words, she was suspicious in her heart, and she even saved her makeup and clothes, why was the emperor so anxious to see Xiao Lingwei?

On his face, he didn't show his thoughts, and made a "please" gesture to Suo Meng: "General Suo, please go to the hall for a cup of tea." ”

At this time, Suo Meng's attitude towards Old Lady Xiao was still very polite, he followed Old Lady Xiao into the living room, and after drinking a cup of tea, he asked casually: "Old lady, did Princess Yongjia tell you what Emperor Daxing said to her before he died?" ”

Old lady Xiao's heart tightened, has something to do with Emperor Daxing? At this time, he had to muster up twelve points of spirit to face Suo Meng.

Regarding the conversation between Emperor Daxing and Xiao Wan and Xiao Lingwei, he once asked Xiao Lingwei, not only him, but also Mrs. Xiao asked.

"The princess once mentioned a few words to me, she was in Yizhou with the sixth child before, and she never returned to the capital for three years, and Emperor Daxing loved her very much in the past, so he asked her a lot of things about the past three years."

Old Lady Xiao quietly observed Suo Meng's expression, saw him leaning forward, listened very seriously, and had a plan in his heart, and continued: "Later, the princess also told me that it was nothing important, but it was just an interesting story in the countryside and fields, and it couldn't reach the general's ears. ”

Suo Meng said: "I like to listen to interesting stories the most, the old lady might as well tell me, what interesting things did Princess Yongjia tell Emperor Daxing?" ”

Old Lady Xiao's eyes flickered, and then she picked out a few interesting things to tell him.

After Suo Meng listened, he secretly said in his heart: If it is really an interesting story in the countryside, there is nothing suspicious.

At this time, Steward Xiao ran in in a panic: "Old lady, the princess is not in the mansion..."

"What? The princess is not there? Suo Meng stood up, and the movement was so loud that even the teacup on the table was waved to the ground by him, making a screeching sound.

Suo Meng turned a blind eye to these, walked up to Steward Xiao, grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Where did she go?" ”

Steward Xiao trembled with fright from his fierce eyes, and stammered when he spoke: "Go... Went to... Yang Mansion..."

As soon as the words fell, Suo Meng let go of him and walked towards the gate, even when Old Lady Xiao called him behind his back, he didn't pay attention.

Old Lady Xiao looked at his rapidly disappearing back, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Out of the gate of Xiao Mansion, Suo Meng stopped and ordered left and right: "A few of you are guarding Xiao Mansion, once you find Xiao Lingwei's traces, immediately tell me." ”

......

"What? The princess is gone? Suo Meng hit a wall again.

Yang Zhao said: "Yes. ”

Suo Meng immediately asked, "Where did she go?" How long has it been gone? ”

Yang Zhao replied: "Of course I'm going back to Xiao Mansion, it's almost curfew, where can I go if I don't go back to Xiao Mansion..."

There was only one way back from Yang's Mansion to Xiao's Mansion, and when he came just now, he didn't find Xiao's Mansion or Yang's carriage, let alone Xiao Lingwei riding by.

However, maybe he was in a hurry to come to Yang's Mansion to arrest people just now, and it is possible that he didn't pay attention on the way.

"Let's go." Suo Meng didn't finish listening to Yang Zhao's words, so he couldn't wait to take people away.

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, watching Suo Mengfei gallop away as if he were on a horse, and a vague sense of foreboding rose in his heart, and he hurriedly ran to the house.

......

This is the first time that Li Xuan has eaten the imperial meal in the palace, or with the emperor, and the long table is full of exquisite meals, which is a real Manchu and Han full banquet.

It's a pity that these foods that are coveted and longed for by the world are eaten in Li Xuan's mouth, but they taste the same as chewing wax.

Halfway through dinner, a little eunuch said at the door: "Your Majesty, General Suo asks to see you." ”

Then, Li Xuan saw Li Zhenxiao get up and walk to the door, Suo Meng whispered a few words to him, and the next moment, Li Zhenxiao's face became ugly, and then he seemed to be asking Suo Meng something.

"You're in a good mood."

The queen suddenly spoke, stunned Li Xuan for a moment, and after realizing that the queen was talking to him, he put down his chopsticks, straightened his body and asked, "What did Niangniang just say?" ”

The queen pointed to his mouth and said, "Bengong said that you were in a good mood, and you smiled." ”

Li Xuan's expression froze, and he quickly recovered his indifferent expression, and said in a natural tone: "I am naturally in a good mood to be able to dine with Your Majesty and Niangniang, presumably Niangniang is not willing to look at me crying and eating with you, right?" ”

"Naturally, I don't want to." The queen seemed to believe his words.

Li Xuan raised his vigilance in his heart, controlled his expression, and in order not to attract attention, he simply lowered his head and concentrated on eating, but his ears were towards the door, trying to listen.

At this time, Li Zhenxiao no longer had an appetite, because just now Suo Meng told him that Xiao Lingwei had disappeared.

"Send more people to keep an eye on the Xiao Mansion and the Yang Mansion, once Xiao Lingwei appears, she will be arrested immediately, and if she resists, she will be killed on the spot. Also, look for her favorite places on weekdays.

"Remember, you can't leak the news."

Suo Meng responded and immediately went to do it.

Li Zhenxiao summoned Gonggong Hai again and asked, "Did the four princes behave anything unusual in the palace today?" And the two guards beside him, what's so suspicious? ”

He thought about it, if Xiao Lingwei got the news in advance and ran away, Li Xuan could only report to her, because at that time, the timing of Li Xuan's appearance was too coincidental.

Although the eunuchs guarding the door and the guards under the corridor told him that Li Xuan had just arrived at the Heart Cultivation Hall at that time, it was impossible to overhear their conversation. But what if something goes wrong?

Just listen to Li Xuan's actions.

Li Zhenxiao stared at Gonggong Hai tightly.

Gonggong Hai was stared at by his gaze, and his scalp was numb, so he had to carry it and replied: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness has been strolling around the Imperial Garden in the afternoon, Xiao Anzi has been following him, and His Royal Highness has not been in contact with anyone, nor has he said a word."

"As for the two guards beside the Fourth Highness, the one named Pingfu went back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to get the cloak for the Fourth Highness, and the slave sent someone to follow him, and found that he had not been in contact with anyone along the way, so he returned to the mansion and took the cloak and came to the palace.

"During this period, no one came and went in the Four Princes' Mansion.

"Another guard, Wang Ji, has been guarding the carriage at the gate of the palace, and has never left, nor has he spoken to anyone."

Li Zhenxiao was silent, it seems that he is suspicious, Li Xuan really didn't hear their conversation, and he didn't know Xiao Lingwei's life experience, and it was impossible for him to report to Xiao Lingwei.

Could it be a coincidence that Xiao Ling is missing?

Just as he was about to arrest her, she was gone?

Or perhaps, she was going to do something secret, avoiding his eyes and ears?

Li Zhenxiao was puzzled, and after a few words of instructions to Gonggong Hai, he returned to the palace.

"It's getting late today, so stay in the palace."

After Li Zhenxiao came in, he said this to Li Xuan, and Li Xuan still obediently agreed: "Yes, father." ”
