Chapter 215: The Empress is gone
Suddenly, Chu Xuanting felt a panic in his heart, he quickly stood up, pushed open the door and asked Zhu Xiu, "Zhu Xiu, do you know where Shu Yun is now, why hasn't he come yet?" ”
Zhu Xiu lowered her head, her face was also full of worry, in fact, she knew that in order to prepare a big gift for Chu Xuanting today, Ye Shuyun personally led people to annihilate the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect has always been famous for poison, although it has been annihilated by Chu Xuanting, but the remaining remnants of the party have been reorganized, presumably at this time, they have already regarded Chu Xuanting as a thorn in their side.
Zhu Xiu bowed to Chu Xuanting on the side, "Back to the prince, Zhu Xiu doesn't know." ”
Chu Xuanting was also angry at this time, he suppressed his unpleasant emotions and said to the other palace maids, "What about you? Have you seen Ye Shuyun? ”
Those palace maids just shook their heads, did not speak, no one dared to reveal this, the princess suddenly disappeared when the prince was about to ascend the throne, this is a big crime to kill the head!
"A bunch of rubbish!" Chu Xuanting's brows furrowed tightly, the boredom in his heart did not dissipate at all, but gradually increased, Zhuxiu looked at Chu Xuanting like this, the whole person was full of anger, and hurriedly stepped forward to Chu Xuanting and said, "The princess doesn't need to worry, the princess must still be preparing a gift for the prince, please wait patiently." ”
Chu Xuanting nodded, forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, slowly put away the anger on his body, and didn't say anything more.
Zhuxiu returned to her position, she hurriedly said to everyone, "Let's go and find where the princess is, everyone saw the prince's reaction just now, and the princess can't be found, we are the ones who are offended, go and find it." ”
Everyone nodded and dispersed in a hurry, and Zhuxiu's heart was still very worried, what happened to Ye Shuyun now, he should have gone with her at the beginning, one more person and one more force, now Long Yan is furious, without Ye Shuyun coming, this anger can't be extinguished at all!
After a long time, the father-in-law beside the emperor came to Chu Xuanting's door and said to Chu Xuanting in the house, "Lord, the official asked you to come over, saying that the succession ceremony is about to begin, and you must not lose your dignity." ”
Chu Xuanting, who was in the room, watched the water in front of him flow drop by drop, and replied, "Father-in-law, this is coming." ”
He took one last look at the hourglass, and finally pushed the door open, and he smiled at the father-in-law who came, and said to him, "It's also troublesome for the public to lead the way." ”
"This is what the old slave should do, the prince is about to become the king of this Southern Chu, and the old slave will ask the prince to take care of it more in the future!"
"That's nature, my father-in-law has been by my father's side for a long time, and he has to take care of natural experiments."
The father-in-law was shocked when he heard this, but he finally didn't know whether Chu Xuanting was blaming himself or appreciating himself for this, so he could only barely pull out a smile and laugh dryly.
The succession ceremony finally began, and Chu Xuanting slowly took the jade seal held by the ceremonial officer, but he was thinking about Ye Shuyun in his heart.
The succession ceremony has been carried out here, why hasn't Ye Shuyun appeared yet?
He frowned slightly, but at this time, he was distracted, and for a moment, the ceremonial officer looked at Chu Xuanting's empty expression, and secretly screamed in his heart.
I didn't expect that Chu Xuanting, who usually didn't have a big difference, would make such a reckless mistake at such an important ceremony now!
He looked at everyone with a slight smile, and then raised Chu Xuanting's hand, secretly accumulating strength, Chu Xuanting was in pain, and then he realized that he was distracted on what occasion, he looked at the emperor apologetically, and a trace of sternness flashed in the eyes of the ceremonial official, the old emperor asked himself to supervise any part of this ceremony, and there must be no mistakes
"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" The hundred officials under the ceremony looked at Chu Xuanting and the jade seal held by the ceremonial officer in both hands, and hurriedly saluted Chu Xuanting, admitting in his heart that he was the next monarch of the Southern Chu Kingdom.
Chu Xuanting suppressed what he was thinking about and said to everyone, "All love Qing is alive!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" Baiguan slowly got up and set all his eyes on Chu Xuanting's body.
Chu Xuanting smiled slightly, at this time, he finally had time to speak to the people around him.
He nodded to the father-in-law next to him, and the father-in-law next to him hurriedly understood and said to the hundred officials, "When the hour comes, the sacrifice begins!" ”
Chu Xuanting and the ceremonial officer nodded, and slowly walked down the high platform, and the ceremonial official and father-in-law followed behind Chu Xuanting and got off the high platform together.
Chu Xuanting led everyone to the surroundings of the sacrifice, Chu Xuanting had already taken a seat, and so did all the officials, seeing that Chu Xuanting had already taken a seat, he hurriedly found his place and sat down.
Chu Xuanting looked around, there was still no Ye Shuyun, and he secretly screamed in his heart, lest Ye Shuyun have anything to do, he waved his sleeves, and the father-in-law beside him hurriedly walked over, and he said to his father-in-law, "Go find Zhuxiu, let her bring Ye Shuyun and me over, and tell her that she doesn't want any gifts, as long as she comes!" ”
The father-in-law saluted Ye Shuyun and hurriedly said, "Yes." Then he stepped back.
In the palace, all the Zhuxiu brought by Chu Xuanting had already been dispatched, and Ye Shuyun was never seen, Zhuxiu was also very flustered in his heart, I don't know what Ye Shuyun's situation is now, is there anything wrong with people? !
She walked around the courtyard anxiously, not knowing when Ye Shuyun would come back, at this time, the father-in-law called by Chu Xuanting came in and shouted, "Zhuxiu, which one is Zhuxiu?" ”
hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the father-in-law and said, "I'm Zhuxiu, is there anything wrong with my father-in-law?" ”
The father-in-law seemed to have heard of Chu Xuanting's style of doing things, and hurriedly said to Zhuxiu in front of him: "The emperor asked you to bring the queen over, and the emperor said that he didn't want any gifts, he just wanted the queen's people to come over." ”
Zhuxiu was shocked, she was already in a panic at this time, and she didn't know what happened to Ye Shuyun now, and the emperor's side, how could she do it?! Now I just pray that the queen will come back soon!
The father-in-law saw that Zhuxiu had not acted, and hurriedly urged: "What are you doing here, don't you call the queen out!" ”
Zhuxiu looked at this father-in-law without tears, and there was already a touch of wetness in her eyes, and she said to her father-in-law: "Father-in-law, it's not that I don't call it, but I don't know where the queen is!" The queen is missing! ”
"What ?!!!" The father-in-law said to Zhuxiu in surprise, he swallowed his saliva, and said slowly, "Missing?!! What's going on?!! ”
"The queen said that she wanted to prepare a gift for the emperor, and then the person disappeared today, and we haven't seen the queen since this morning!"
The father-in-law looked at Zhuxiu in surprise, his heart was like a bolt from the blue, he thought that he would be able to show his face in front of the emperor today, and maybe he would be appreciated by the emperor in the future, but he didn't expect that it hadn't been long before such a thing happened to him.
Zhuxiu's face is not very good, it has been so long, Ye Shuyun has not come back, could it be...
I didn't dare to think about such a tragic result, but I still hoped that Ye Shuyun would come back.
After a long silence, Zhuxiu first broke the calm, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Then can you tell the emperor about this matter now?" In the eyes of his father-in-law, he looked even more flustered.
Today is the first day of the new emperor's accession to the throne, so many things have happened, and now the queen is nowhere to be found, which is really worrying.
"Did the Queen say anything to you when she was here?" The father-in-law looked at her with a solemn expression after thinking for a while, paused, and continued: "Forget it, there is no time to think about it, you and I should go over and tell the emperor about the matter now, if the queen has anything, we can't afford it." ”
Zhuxiu thought about it and nodded, hoping that the things he was worried about would not happen.
On the sacrificial ground, the father-in-law went up to Chu Xuanting and said, "The emperor's Zhuxiu asks to see you." Chu Xuanting secretly screamed in his heart, could it be that the thing he was good at in his heart really happened?
He hurriedly left his position, the ministers were in an uproar, and the father-in-law hurriedly explained to you that the emperor had something to deal with, so you don't have to worry, and the hundred officials put their minds at ease and looked at the preparations before the sacrifice.
"Your Majesty, Zhuxiu's crime deserves death." The emperor walked quickly in front of Zhuxiu, listened to this, and hurriedly said.
"Is something wrong with Ye Shuyun?" Chu Xuanting asked her anxiously, his eyes full of worry.
"In order to surprise the emperor and then ask Zhuxiu not to tell the emperor, but the queen has not returned yet, Zhuxiu is afraid of the queen's safety, and she has to say it in a hurry."
She paused and continued, "In order to surprise the emperor today, the queen took the guards to annihilate the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, but there has been no news for so long, and Zhuxiu is really panicked..."
"What!!" Before she finished speaking, Chu Xuanting interrupted her in surprise, and then looked at Zhu Xiu, her eyes full of surprise.
Zhu Xiu nodded and wanted to say something, but Chu Xuanting had already rushed out.
Those palace maids trembled and said the news of Ye Shuyun's disappearance, not surprisingly, Chu Xuanting's face was gloomy after hearing this.
"Humph! Who gave you the courage to make you cheap maids dare to hide the disappearance of the princess! After Chu Xuanting learned the news of Ye Shuyun's disappearance, he scolded angrily.
The few palace maids kneeling below were all trembling with fright from Chu Xuanting's words, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Hmph, I don't have time to deal with you for the time being, come on, let's suppress these first!" Chu Xuanting looked coldly at these palace maids who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy and said.
