Chapter 183: Mission
"Okay, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, go back, stay longer, I'm afraid that Zhuye will wake up." Fake Ning Shangmo ordered the eviction of customers.
Chu Yue nodded, turned around and walked out of the inner hall, and walked quickly towards the door.
Coming out of the Daling Envoy's Courtyard, his heart has been turning over the river and the sea, and he has a lot of thoughts. I always thought that his little abacus was perfect, but I didn't expect it to be calculated.
was not only held in the hands of Tuoba Yanling, but also in the hands of the prince and Ming Qingyan, which can be described as embattled.
This time he went to Beimeng, since Tuoba Yanling was willing to help, then he must make good use of this opportunity and make a beautiful comeback.
Three days later, the crown prince took the crown princess and the envoy to Beimeng to say goodbye to the Xiliang Emperor and the empress at the city gate.
The time to travel is coming, but the second prince Chu Yue has not yet appeared.
The crown prince was a little anxious, and said softly to Emperor Xiliang: "Father, Chu Yue won't notice it, he wants to escape, right?" ”
Emperor Xiliang replied in a deep voice: "I have ordered the Praetorian Guards to block all the city gates and main roads, where can he go?" Wait, if he hasn't come, I'll send someone to arrest him. ”
The prince nodded and asked tentatively, "Why don't we find a scapegoat?" You don't need Chu Yue to send ......"
"No, if you are perfunctory like that, I am not afraid that even your life will be saved when you arrive in Beimeng." Emperor Xiliang glared at him, and rebuked unhappily: "How many times have I told you that you are the future prince of my Xiliang, and you must put safety first in everything." ”
When the prince heard this, his eyes welled up with joy, but he still replied quietly: "Yes, the son knows his mistake." ”
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come down." The eunuch next to him bowed down and bowed to Emperor Xiliang.
Emperor Xiliang nodded: "Even if he still knows each other." ”
Chu Yue only had a small entourage by his side, galloping on a fast horse.
Ten steps away from Emperor Xiliang, he dismounted and handed over the reins of the horse to the entourage around him, then walked in front of Emperor Xiliang and bowed: "Please forgive me, my son is late." ”
"Why is it so late?" Emperor Xiliang glanced at him and asked lightly.
"Erchen was ready to leave early, who knew that he suddenly broke his stomach and went to the toilet all the time, so he was delayed until this time." Chu Yue's voice was weak and his face was sallow, which was a symptom of diarrhea and collapse.
Emperor Xiliang nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "That's it, since you have a reason, and you have not delayed the auspicious time to travel." Father and the emperor will not be embarrassed by you, this road is long and long, you must remember to be in harmony with the prince and support, and you must not have more suspicions. There is a good saying, brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold. ”
These words were exactly the earnest advice of his loving father when he traveled, if Chu Yue didn't know the truth about this mission to Beimeng, he would definitely be moved.
At this time, however, there was a great ridicule in his ears. The so-called loving father is nothing more than a murderer who wants to kill him.
However, there was no trace of mocking displeasure on his face, but a humble respect, "Erchen remembers the teachings of his father. ”
"Father, the hour has come, and we should go." The prince came over and bowed down.
Emperor Xiliang nodded to him, his eyes were full of earnest advice, and then he raised his voice and said, "Let's go!" ”
The prince also waved his big hand: "Let's go!" ”
So, the horses of the crown prince and the second prince surrounded the gorgeous carriage of the crown princess, followed by the entourage guards, and set off towards Beimeng.
Emperor Xiliang was still standing at the gate of the city until they were far away.
Empress Xiliang asked softly, "Your Majesty, we should go back." ”
Emperor Xiliang sighed softly and nodded in agreement: "Okay, go back to the palace." ”
Ming Qingyan and Leng Qingrong were also in the send-off procession, and after Emperor Xiliang and they left, the two sent the fake Ning Shangmo back to the house, and discussed in the front hall when to visit the Second Prince's Mansion at night to find Ning Shangmo.
In the end, after discussing and discussing, he felt that this method would not work, and finally decided to let Leng Qingrong go to the painting garden first and let him enter the Second Prince's Mansion to find out.
Leng Qingrong nodded in agreement, and then he went out of the house to find the painting garden.
The painting garden did not delay, and immediately went to the Second Prince's Mansion to find Ning Shangmo. He is now a frequent visitor to the house, and although the doorman knew that the second prince was not at home, he did not stop him and let him in.
However, after entering, the housekeeper told him that Da Ling Meiren had instructed him to block anyone who came to ask to see her during the Second Prince's Mansion envoy to Beimeng.
After hearing this, Huayuan was very surprised and asked, "Did I block it too?" Otherwise, you go in and ask again, our relationship is so good, she will definitely not see me, the second prince has absolute trust in me, you should know. ”
The housekeeper shook his head and replied: "Please don't embarrass me, even if you go in and ask, there will be no result, you better go back." ”
No matter how the painting garden begged, he didn't agree to let him put Ning Shangmo, and finally had to give up.
Came out of the Second Prince's Mansion and returned to his residence.
Leng Qingrong was still waiting for him, and when he saw him coming back, he asked out loud: "How is it, is there a result?" ”
He shook his head helplessly, "I didn't see it, I said that during the second prince's mission to Northern Mongolia, she didn't see anyone, including me." ”
After saying that, he pondered for a moment and continued: "I have a gut feeling that she may not be in the mansion. ”
"Not in the house? Where would that be? Chu Yue obviously only brought one entourage, so she would definitely stay in Xiliang. Leng Qingrong thought that the entourage that Chu Yue brought was not Ning Shangmo, and guessed in her heart that Chu Yue must have hidden her before leaving.
"Alas, since the emperor issued the edict to let the crown prince and Chu Yue envoy Beimeng, I have never contacted Princess Shangmo. It must have been the second prince who hid her, so although Xiliang is not big, it is extremely difficult to find someone. The painting garden couldn't help but sigh.
Leng Qingrong couldn't sit still anymore, he immediately stood up and walked out.
Huayuan stretched out his hand to grab him and asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?" We're not done yet. ”
"What are you talking about? Do you have a solution? Leng Qingrong looked at him with a sneer: "Since you can't think of a way, don't delay the time for me to think of a way, I'm going back." ”
After saying that, he shook off the painting garden's arm and walked away.
Hua Yuan looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, he didn't want Ning Shangmo to have anything to do with him, otherwise wouldn't his life be in danger? Chu Yue hid her before leaving, what could he do to stop her?
Where is Ning Shangmo hidden? Don't......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look dark and walked towards the door.
Leng Qingrong returned to the Daling Envoy's Courtyard and told Ming Qingyan that she had not found Ning Shangmo, and that she might have been hidden somewhere by Chu Yue.
Ming Qingyan couldn't help but be anxious when he heard this, "If it's hidden, how can I find it?" ”
"Xiangye, don't worry, I guess maybe Chu Yue arranged for the soldiers to divide into two ways, maybe someone will already send her out of the city and join him in the envoy team. In this way, the prince will definitely notice and send someone to send her back. Leng Qingrong hurriedly comforted her.
Ming shook his head lightly, "In the past few days, she has no news, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Later, he wanted to say that he was more auspicious and less auspicious, but he felt unlucky, so he stubbornly suppressed it and didn't say it.
With Ning Shangmo's character, when he learned that Chu Yue and the crown prince were envoys to Beimeng, everything was expected by them, and they would definitely deal with it, and even spread the news, but this was not the case, he was afraid that something would happen to her.
Thinking like this, his right eyelid jumped vigorously, and his heart was beating terrified.
Suddenly, a strange thought jumped out of his mind, and he couldn't help but subconsciously say, "Could it be that the attendant is Mo'er?" ”
"How is that possible? It doesn't look like it at all. Leng Qingrong hurriedly waved his hand, expressing his disagreement with his statement.
Ming said lightly, but continued: "That can be fake, can't she be disguised?" ”
reminded the dreamer in a sentence, Leng Qingrong couldn't help patting his thigh, and said with annoyance: "Why did I forget this stubble?" Chu Yue can not only make that Yi disguise, but also naturally make Shang Mo easy to become someone else. Alas, how is it so good? You can't just rob people, right? ”
"It's true that you can't rob people, so you can only send someone to quietly send a letter to the prince, so that he can pay more attention to the entourage around Chu Yue, it is likely to be the eldest princess of Shangmo." Ming replied softly.
Leng Qingrong said that she had a different opinion, if Chu Yue's only entourage was Shang Mo, then she must have her own plans, perhaps, she herself would contact the crown princess at the right time.
Ming Qingyan felt that what he said made sense, and in order not to cause trouble to Ning Shangmo, he could only dispel the idea of sending someone to deliver the letter.
The next few days can be described as very distressed, on the one hand, to perfunctory fake Ning Shangmo, on the other hand, worried about the real Ning Shangmo, it can be said that it is restless.
Seeing that he was restless, Fake Ning Shangmo tried his best to comfort him, but it didn't have any effect, but he began to avoid her lightly.
On the third day, Ming Qingyan and Leng Qingrong entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, saying that his illness had been completely cured and he could return to Daling.
Emperor Xiliang called the imperial doctor to check his pulse and confirmed that it was okay, so he nodded and agreed, and gave him a lot of advice.
On the fourth day of Chu Yue's mission, the Daling envoy also left Xiliang.
On this day, they stayed and rested in a small town in Xiliang, Ming Qingyan and Leng Qingrong went out to buy the items needed for the next day, and Yun Yishu accompanied Bao Ning Shangmo to rest at the inn.
"Xiao Yunzi, have you been hiding anything from me lately?" Fake Ning Shangmo stood against the window and asked with a sad face.
Yun Yishu was puzzled and asked, "Mo'er, how can there be such a question?" ”
"I didn't know about such a big thing as returning to China until before I left. Who are the envoys? I admit that I have amnesia, I am sick, and I endure it, but along the way, you are still like this. He talked lightly about everything and made up his mind with Leng Qingrong, and he didn't discuss it with me. As for me, I can't go anywhere because you're watching me so closely. Fake Ning Shangmo complained bitterly: "I feel like I've been set up by you, why is this?" Am I doing something wrong? That's why you're so protective of me? ”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, as if the emotions she had been holding back for a long time had finally exploded.
