I don't know how long I cried, Ruyue only felt tired, and the whole person was drowsy and had no strength. Xinguiren and Qin'er had been outside the door, listening to no movement inside, and then tiptoed in.

The Emperor put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture to keep them from speaking. The noble man walked slowly to the emperor and handed over the handkerchief that had just been twisted and was still warm.

Qin'er also lightly put down the hot tea, and the two of them retreated quietly.

The moment he put down the thick curtain, the noble man couldn't help but glance at the emperor. At this glance, what I saw was full of his intentions. In retrospect, it was not a short time when I entered the palace. Although the reason for entering the palace was very ridiculous, let her replace her clan sister and become a nobleman, but she had never had to accept her fate.

In the emperor's heart, she has never been there. Not even for a moment.

The emperor used a warm handkerchief to carefully wipe away the tears from the corners of Ruyue's eyes. No one has been back and forth for a long time, I believe that the whereabouts of the ninth daughter of the emperor have not been found, to be honest, the emperor is also very scared. I'm afraid of losing this daughter again, and I'm even more afraid that Ruyue will be sad.

"Xiaowei?" Ruyue suddenly felt that her face was warm, like Xiaowei's face sticking to her, and it fell on her cheeks softly: "Xiaowei......" She suddenly opened her eyes, but only the emperor was by her side. "Your Majesty, have you found Xiaowei, is there already news of Xiaowei?"

"Ruyue, don't worry, no one is talking back at this time." The emperor felt a little guilty: "It's really bad, I wanted to wipe away the wet tears for you, but I woke you up." ”

Ruyue shook her head and snuggled into the emperor's arms again: "The concubine doesn't blame the emperor, it's her heart that is too messy." ”

"Your Majesty." Chang Yonggui said respectfully against the heavy door curtain.

"Come in." The emperor suddenly came to his senses: "Is there any news of the little princess, come in and talk back!" Ruyue's apricot eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to hear the news of her daughter right away.

Chang Yonggui squeaked, lifted the thick curtain and came in, and said cautiously: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave did not find the little princess, but found the first noble in Yuhua Pavilion." ”

"The first nobleman?" The emperor was puzzled, and at this time he did not understand what this had to do with the disappearance of the little princess. But in a trance, he seemed to understand again. If it wasn't done by outsiders, the little princess didn't go missing by herself. can be so quiet, take the little princess away......

Ruyue was even more excited and a little irrepressible: "Bring people up, and this palace will ask you in person." ”

When the first nobleman walked into the Xinuan Pavilion, his expression was very calm, and he couldn't see his mood. The faint fragrance of flowers on the body wafted out a few wisps faintly, even if it was not very close, it could smell the traces. Looking at her dress, the auspicious pattern of Wufu, and the meticulous makeup, she was obviously prepared.

"Most of the blessings will go to the Prayer Palace, why are the first nobles at this time, in the Yuhua Pavilion?" Ruyue was calm and calm, suppressing the anxiety in her heart, and the worry was not too revealed. It's just that the serious look on her face can't be concealed, and she can't laugh at this time. Unless you know that Xiaowei is safe.

"The concubine originally wanted to go to the prayer hall, but I don't know why I was restless, and I remembered that in the Yuhua Pavilion, the four words 'Zhizhu Heart Seal' on the plaque written by the first emperor himself, I felt that my heart was clear. So I went to Yuhua Pavilion. Because he wanted to go suddenly, he didn't alarm others. The first nobleman lowered his eyelids slightly, and said uncertainly: "Is it because of the negligence of the concubines that the emperor and the concubine have been alarmed?" Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. ”

There is nothing wrong with saying this. After all, there is no rule in the harem that concubines are not allowed to go to Yuhua Pavilion to pray for blessings and worship Buddha when they are at night.

Since this is the case, Ruyue simply asked directly: "The little princess and Yonghe Palace suddenly disappeared, do you know the reason?" ”

"What? The little princess is gone? The first nobleman was extremely surprised, and his expression was surprised: "How is this possible, there are concubines and concubines in Yonghe Palace to take care of, and Chang Niang and others have been serving on the side, even if the little princess is playful, she will never leave Yonghe Palace." How could it be that it disappeared for no reason? ”

The emperor didn't speak, staring at the first noble in front of him with a calm face.

But it was Ruyue's sharp eyes that swept across her face: "This palace is also very strange, so I have to invite the pious and quiet first nobles to ask what is going on." ”

"Rufei Niangniang, do you mean that the concubine took the little princess out?" The first nobleman was suddenly aggrieved, and he knelt in front of the emperor and said extremely depressedly: "During the day, the imperial doctor Lu Tian twisted the wrist of the concubine because of a misunderstanding, so he sent it to the jade concubine. said that the concubines were worried about doing tricks and feet in the medicine of the nobles.

But the fact is that the medicine doesn't do anything about the concubines at all, and it is clear that the minions of the Internal Affairs Office are mistakenly mixed together. Although the jade concubine returned the justice of the concubine, the concubine was still depressed in her heart. kept shouting that they were wronged, and neither you nor the princess trusted the concubine at all.

Now that the little princess is gone, you also think that it was the concubine's doing, the concubine has a pair of hands and eyes, how can everything be counted? I can go to pray for blessings again, and I can take away the little princess easily. If the mother doesn't believe it, she can ask Chang Gonggong, when she finds the concubine, only Hua Yu is by her side, and there is no one else. ”

The medicine of the noble man was tampered with, but this was the first time the emperor heard this. Whether it was Ruyue or Sula, they didn't mention a word in front of him, so whether it was an accident or someone deliberately made trouble, it is worth investigating. It's just that everyone's thoughts are on the little princess at this moment, and the emperor is unwilling to figure it out. "So, you really haven't seen Xiaowei anymore?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubine really didn't see the little princess, and she didn't say anything." The first nobles have always been silent, but at this time, the emperor dared to look at each other, but he was much bolder than ordinary people.

Ruyue knew that if there was no evidence, this noble man would not admit this sin. Not only will he not admit his guilt, but he will infinitely magnify the contradiction between himself and the nobleman. Based on her understanding of the emperor alone, Ruyue knew that the emperor had listened to it. just lived in Yongshou Palace, and was calculated, hum, the emperor must be distressed.

But what is this? Ruyue doesn't care at all, as long as her daughter can come back safely, what if she makes her a concubine?

"Father-in-law Chang, I bother you to send the first nobleman back to Yonghe Palace to rest. And inform the princess for the palace, don't worry, and don't embarrass the first nobles. After all, the first nobles didn't know at all, and the emperor and the palace were of the same heart, only hoping for harmony in the six palaces. Ruyue clenched the emperor's hand and said with great emotion.

"It's hard for you to think so much about me at this time." The emperor really appreciated it, and his heart was much more comfortable. "Chang Yonggui, do as Concubine Ru said."

When the people sent them out, the emperor turned his head to Ruyue and said, "At such a time, you still think about me like this." It's hard for you. "The concubine didn't feel embarrassed, but she was anxious. The emperor, Xiaowei is only two years old, and she is afraid of the dark, so the concubines are really worried. But there is nothing to be done. "How Ruyue thought, she cured the sins of the first nobleman on the spot!

Or use torture to tell her the truth, after all, it can't be so easy and let her go. But...... But the love between him and the emperor made Ruyue cautious. She can lie in his arms and cry bitterly, she can be willful or coquettish, and she can even say negative words, but she can't make him feel cruel, cruel, or even vicious.

Ruyue always felt that once there was such a trend, the emperor would ruthlessly divide himself into the category that was no different from others. In order for Xiaowei to come back safely, at this time, she can't anger the emperor no matter what. Otherwise, it will only be more passive!

In the night, there are all the guards who light torches or carry palace lamps to look for the little princess. The flaming torches lit up the dark sky of the Forbidden City. The staggered squads shuttled through every part of the six palaces in the east and west. But there is still no shadow of the little princess.

They could never have imagined that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is.

What palace would be safer than hiding the little princess in the palace trusted by Concubine Ru. Xiao Liuzi was holding the ninth daughter of the emperor in a coma, and he had already hidden in the Yanxi Palace of the Jade Concubine.

Just because Yanxi Palace is adjacent to the dedication hall, if you take the life of the emperor and the nine daughters, it is not bad to pay tribute to the ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty. Xiao Liuzi hated Rufei so much, and she was holding her daughter at this time, and she only felt extremely excited. But at this time, I thought about it carefully, and felt that the dedication hall was not the best removal.

If you let this poor Princess Gulun die in the Jade Concubine Palace, how hateful the concubine should be. The beams of these two houses must also be concluded. In this way, the two tigers competed, and the nobles took the opportunity to stabilize their power. The more I thought about it, the more feasible it became, and Xiao Liuzi simply didn't plan to escape into the night with the little princess in his arms.

Besides, after all, I just learned that the little princess was missing, so Concubine Yu sent the people in her palace out to find it. The guards here are so lax that it is easy to hang the body of the little princess above the main hall.

Thinking so, Xiao Liuzi excitedly picked up the little princess and went to the direction of the main hall.

"Stop."

Just after passing through the corridor, Xiao Liuzi heard someone talking behind him, and it was a calm male voice.

"Who?" Xiao Liuzi turned around suddenly, only to see the man with his face covered, and he couldn't see clearly. Dressed in a neat night suit, he holds a sword studded with gems.

"Put the little princess down, and I will spare you from death." The man's voice, through the black cloth covering his mouth, was already majestic and piercing.

"If you don't have a little effort, you don't dare to carry the little princess around like this to find a place to end her death. Do you think you can save her life? Xiao Liuzi suddenly hugged the little princess horizontally, compared his right hand to an eagle's claw, and fiercely clamped the young neck of the unconscious Xiaowei.
