Chapter 228: Caught Again
It seems that he didn't expect the emperor to really ask himself this, Concubine Liang obviously looked happy, but there was a coughing sound from Concubine Ling's side, and she saw that her eyes gradually dimmed, and she lowered her head and said: "The concubine doesn't dare, the emperor, the queen's bones are not cold, and the queen should still think about it in the long run." ”
Hearing this, a trace of unbearability flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he nodded slowly and said, "Well, Concubine Liang is right. ”
After speaking, the emperor took a plate of melons and fruits from the side and sent them to the side of Gonggong An, who immediately put the melons and fruits on the table of Concubine Liang, and heard the emperor's voice from the side: "After giving birth to Mingyue, your body and bones are not good, you and Concubine Ling have to take good care of their bodies, this harem, you still need you." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Liang suddenly turned overjoyed, and secretly glanced at Concubine Ling, and the two thanked him: "Thank you for your concern." ”
The concubine who had originally spoken to frame Concubine Liang saw that the framed did not succeed but made Concubine Liang get a good child, and her face was suddenly stunned, and after a while, she sat down with a sour face, and saw the emperor looking at her with a cold face: "Which one are you?" ”
The concubine thought that the emperor had finally noticed her, so she hurriedly got up and said, "Back to the emperor, the concubine is from Yonghe Palace." ”
Concubine Liang glanced at her, and explained in the emperor's ear at the right time: "It is from the palace of Concubine Chen's sister, and Concubine Chen's sister is sick today and did not come." ”
The emperor frowned: "Your mother is sick, why don't you wait by your side?" ”
The concubine's face was stunned, and she saw that the emperor continued: "Let's go back, don't make Concubine Chen feel cold." ”
Hearing the obvious intention of expulsion, the concubine's face turned pale, so she had to respond: "Yes, the concubine will go back to take care of Niangniang." ”
After that, he honestly withdrew from the main hall, as if he had been wronged.
However, the first few people obviously don't care if this little concubine has been wronged, just say that Concubine Liang and Concubine Ling, at this moment the two of them are full of surprise when they look at each other, after all, the queen has occupied the emperor for so many years, and they are still the first time to be protected by the emperor's words, and now with the emperor's words, even if the two of them do not have real names in this harem, they also have real power.
Chu Nian glanced at the departing figure of the concubine with a smile, thinking that the Concubine Chen was not very stable, but fortunately, now that the emperor helped Liwei, Concubine Liang and Concubine Ling were not afraid that they would not be able to deal with a little Concubine Chen, not to mention, it would take a long time for the Queen Mother to wake up.
A small episode passed, and the banquet went on again, but at this time, Dark San suddenly appeared behind Chu Nian: "Lady." ”
Fortunately, everyone at the top paid attention to the Yingge Yan Dance in front of them, but no one noticed the movement in the corner, and Ming Xiu's long and narrow eyes fell on Chu Nian's face.
"Lady, Master Hou has been arrested again, and the eldest brother has already gone to chase him."
Chu Nian's brows furrowed, wasn't Chu Yuanlang at the Wang family's banquet? How could they be caught? Who would attack a small town at this stall?
Ming Xiu, who was on top, seemed to notice Chu Nian's complexion, so he whispered a few words to the emperor next to him, turned around and walked out of the hall, Chu Nian greeted Mingyue and Ming Qiao, and left while the excitement was lively, and Ming Xiu was already waiting at the door.
"What's wrong?" Ming Xiu frowned and looked at Chu Nian in front of him, and saw Chu Nian hurriedly walking towards the south gate of the palace: "It's too late, Yuan Lang was arrested again." ”
Ming Xiu glanced suspiciously at the dark three who were following behind Chu Nian, and saw that the dark three shrugged his shoulders: "Your Highness, I just came to report the news, and the eldest brother and the second brother have already followed." ”
At this point, Chu Nian's steps became more and more urgent, but she heard a whistling wind behind her, and then, her figure fell into an embrace with a little lotus fragrance, and she was slightly stunned, and she could hear Ming Xiu's deep voice from above.
"You go and deal with Wang Zixuan, and leave the matter of finding Chu Yuan to me."
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and then felt that his body was in the air, and in a few breaths, he was already outside the imperial city, and not far away was Ming Xiu's flickering figure: "The Wang family is not far away, I'll go and go back quickly." ”
Looking at the open gate of the Wang family in front of her, Chu Nian smiled helplessly, the world felt that she Chu Nian was strong, but she didn't know that this prince Ming Xiu was a little stronger than her.
In the end, Chu Nian had no choice but to step towards the door, Chu Yuan would be fine if there was Ming Xiu on his side, in contrast, she needed to figure out what kind of moth Wang Zixuan was.
The room was lit up, and it was not warm to push the cup and change the lamp in the noise, Chu Nian's arrival only made this extravagant banquet silent for a moment, and then the sound of greetings and greetings was endless.
Wang Zixuan took a few steps forward, and there was a hypocritical smile on his slightly drunk face: "What kind of wind blew the Wushuang County Lord here?" It was really an honor for Lao Chen to be able to come to the family banquet of the old minister. ”
Several officials on the side saw Chu Nian and also gathered around: "Didn't the county lord participate in the palace banquet today?" How did you get free? ”
Chu Nianpi glanced at them without smiling, turned his eyes to Wang Zixuan meaningfully and said, "Lord Wang, today's courtiers were unable to come to your mansion because they had to attend the palace banquet held in the palace, and I hope that Lord Wang will not worry about the courtiers." ”
Wang Zixuan laughed loudly, and said: "Don't care, don't care, where does the old minister dare to worry about the Wushuang County Lord, what's more, didn't the young marquis say that he came to congratulate on behalf of the county lord?" Where does the old minister have a reason to worry about the county lord! ”
Looking at Wang Zixuan's hypocritical appearance, Chu Niankan turned around, took a wine cup from the table on the side, poured it full, and drank all the wine in the cup, all in one go.
"Now this wine is regarded as a reparation, Lord Wang, speaking of the younger brother, have any of the adults present seen the younger brother?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was suddenly silent, and Wang Zixuan in front of him was also stunned, turned around and said while looking for it: "The young marquis is just here...... Hey, what about the young marquis? Come! Has anyone seen where the young marquis has gone? ”
A servant on the side stepped forward a few steps forward and said: "The young marquis is slightly drunk, and he was taken by others to rest in the wing, and he has never seen him again." ”
Hearing this, Wang Zixuan turned to look at Chu Nian, and smiled awkwardly: "Look, county lord, isn't it, little Chinese New Year's Eve, the young marquis has grown into an adult again, and the old minister and the others poured a few more cups......"
Chu Nian sneered and watched him act, and after a while, he interrupted him and said, "Lord Lao Wang led the way, and the courtiers heard some rumors and specially came to ensure the safety of their younger brother." ”
Listening to Chu Nian's words, Wang Zixuan's face froze, and even a few officials on the side looked at each other.
Immediately, I saw Wang Zixuan's face sank: "What does the county lord mean by this, even if my Wang family's garrison is poor, it won't make the young marquis have an accident on my territory, right?" ”
Chu Nian glanced sideways at the surroundings, "It's better not to talk big about it yet, if something really happens to the younger brother, it's not good to talk back." ”
Seeing that Chu Nian really didn't give himself the slightest face, Wang Zixuan suddenly snorted coldly: "Okay, then according to what the county lord said, the old minister will personally lead the way, if the young marquis is lying in the wing room safely, the county lord should give the old minister an explanation." ”
Chu Nian smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the door, seeing this, Wang Zixuan's eyes were slightly sunken, and he followed out, and several officials on the side looked at each other at a loss, and after a while, he had to shake his head and turn around and go back to greet and drink.
Wang Zixuan walked in front, Chu Nian silently followed behind him, seeing his menacing appearance, but he had a slight doubt in his heart, could it be that Wang Zixuan had nothing to do with Chu Yuan's arrest? Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to act like this in front of his eyes.
At this stall, the room where the servant said that Chu Yuanlang came to rest arrived, Wang Zixuan pushed open the door with a cold face, didn't look at the dark room, turned to Chu Nian and said, "Wushuang County Lord, please." ”
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, then walked towards the house, and one of the slaves who went in first had already lit the candle, and at this stall, there was an exclamation, "Master! ”
Wang Zixuan entered the room impatiently, and saw Chu Nian looking at the bed in front of him with a smile, he turned his head suspiciously, and the couch was empty.
The slave on the side hurriedly knelt down: "Master! The young marquis really came here to rest, and when the slave went out, the young marquis was still sleeping soundly! ”
Wang Zixuan's face stiffened and turned his head to look at Chu Nian: "County Lord, there are only you and me at the moment, and I won't talk to you in secret, but you knew in advance that the young marquis was missing?" ”
But seeing Chu Nian, he sneered: "The courtier not only knows that the younger brother has been arrested, but also knows that the younger brother has been arrested in this wing, Lord Wang, the guards in your family should practice well." ”
Wang Zixuan's face suddenly turned cold, and he saw Chu Nian walking around the house, picking up a log in the corner, his face was slightly gloomy, and he was thoughtful.
At this point, Wang Zixuanjiu also woke up for most of the time, he was angry with Chu Nian today and wronged him for arresting Chu Yuanlang, but it was just because he had no reason to arrest Chu Yuanlang, in the final analysis, Chu Yuanlang was still a court official, if he was an ordinary person, he was Chu Nian's younger brother, and he would be arrested if he was arrested, but if he was arrested as a court official, this crime would not be small, no matter how powerful his Wang family was, he would not dare to do such an unpopular thing.
But now Chu Yuanlang's is indeed lost under his nose, the responsibility lies with him, he still has to find people back, otherwise the Wang family's reputation among civil and military officials is getting worse and worse, but it can't last.
Thinking about it, Wang Zixuan took a few steps forward and said, "County Lord, have you found any clues?" The old minister will definitely help and get the young marquis back. ”
Chu Nian stood up with the log in his hand, glanced at Wang Zixuan with a smile, and said, "If the courtiers are not mistaken, how many illusionists does Lord Wang have in his family?" ”
Seeing the log in Chu Nian's hand, Wang Zixuan's eyes suddenly froze: "County Lord, it won't be them, even if they do, they won't help but consult with me, what's more, this is my territory, you know, if I really want to harm you and the young marquis, it shouldn't be in my own home, right?" ”
Chu Nian glanced at him and nodded silently: "I naturally know that Lord Wang is not a fool, but they are not necessarily, how can Lord Wang be sure that they are really all at the disposal of Lord Wang?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Zixuan's face suddenly turned stunned, and after a while, he frowned and looked at the log in Chu Nian's hand, "If that's the case...... Wait for the old man to ask. ”
