Chapter 47: Mei Qi is missing
The sunset on the horizon became more and more red, and a few golden rays of light penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the walls of the Huaili Imperial City, which was brilliant and mottled.
As the sun sets, the area dyed red by the glow is getting wider and wider, and a girl in pink clothes wearing a veil stands on the city wall and bathes in this red halo.
Her eyes were firmly fixed on the carriage carrying Mei Qi gradually moving away, her hands pinched each other, and when the vehicle was about to disappear, she said softly, "Lie, go and keep an eye on it." ”
"Yes, princess!" Behind her stood a guard-like man in a black power suit, his head whisking, turning and disappearing like a ghost.
The girl in pink took out a piece of half a unicorn-shaped jade from the gold-threaded purse hanging from her waist and put it in the palm of her hand.
The crystal clear unicorn jade is shining with a warm and soft light and shadow under the illumination of the glow at this moment.
"Brother You, you're finally back!" She stared at the unicorn jade, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a trace of inscrutable yin in her eyes, and then she said confidently, "You can only be mine, just like this piece of jade in the palm of my hand!" ”
The maid with a double bun next to her was busy talking: "The princess is beautiful and beautiful, the bloodline is noble, only the amazing and elegant little prince is worthy of the princess in this world, and the little prince and the princess are about to have a good time, the slave congratulates the princess in advance, and the concubine Luanfeng and Ming, the couple have a deep affection." ”
The maid's flattering words made the girl's originally gloomy mood feel much more comfortable, and she chuckled, "Ah Xin, after I get married, remember to call me princess, and you are not allowed to call me princess again." ”
Ah Xin blessed his body and reminded: "The slave has written down, Your Royal Highness the Princess-to-be, it is already dark, if you don't return to the palace, Princess Zhong should be in a hurry." What's more, hasn't the little prince already returned home today? ”
"yes, Ah Sin, let's go." The girl gathered the thoughts on her face, recovered her indifference, and with the support of Ah Xin, she leisurely went down the city wall and got on a soft sedan chair.
....................
Let's say that Mei Qiyi and her entourage came to a quiet house under the guidance of Zhang Bing, and Mama Chang helped her get out of the carriage.
Zhang Bing stepped forward and said respectfully to Mei Qi: "Little Seventh girl, I have wronged you to live here for a while. When the master is done, he will come to see you. ”
Mei Qi nodded up and down while wearing a hat, and he answered.
There were also three rough maids and maids who came with Mama Chang, and two stable women.
The house is a quadrangle, although it is not very large, but the four rooms are enough for the master and servant to live, and there is a plane tree in the courtyard that can only be hugged by two people.
The leaves of the sycamore are green and green, slim and elegant. The bark of the tree is smooth and green, the leaves are dense, and from the trunk to the branches, it is lush and clean.
A green jade stands, a thousand leaves of green clouds. There is also a fixed stone table and stone bench built under the plane tree for the owner to sit on at leisure.
Since Mei Qi lived in this house, he would stay under the tree for an hour or two after lunch every day, just waiting in a daze.
Mama Chang was ordered by Zhao You to be almost inseparable from Mei Qiqi, always accompanied by her, and took care of everything about diet and daily life.
Wufeng replaced Zhang Bing and became Mei Qi's guard, protecting Mei Qi's safety.
Ten days passed without incident, and at night of this day, Mei Qi lay on the bed and closed her eyes and fell asleep under the care of Mama Chang as usual.
Mama Chang saw that Mei Qi was asleep, so she also fell asleep soundly on her long feet beside the bed.
"Xiao Qi, come on, Xiao Qi is coming..... Mei Qi's ears seemed to be calling her, but the voice was ethereal but bewitching, accompanied by a crisp and weird rattle.
She opened her eyes, and her originally sloppy eyes suddenly focused into red pupils, revealing a bewitching and cruel look.
Getting up and staying at the bed, looking straight ahead, she stepped past Mama Chang and walked to the door.
"Little Seventh Girl......" Mama Chang suddenly woke up when she heard the movement, rubbed her eyes and prepared to get up, and asked the person with her back to her, "Do you want to relieve yourself?" The old woman will accompany you. ”
Mei Qi turned a deaf ear and continued to push the door to the outside, and Mama Chang hurriedly followed.
Soon Mama Chang noticed that something was wrong, Mei Qi was walking towards the outside of the house, and Mei Qi had never left this house in the past ten days.
When she arrived at the door of the house, Mei Qi suddenly performed light skills, flew up and crossed the door of the house, and after a while, her figure disappeared from Mama Chang's sight.
"Little Seventh Girl, come back quickly! Where are you going? Hey...... "Mama Chang was anxious, how could she get this if she had a fetal gas, but she was an ordinary servant, how to catch up with Mei Qi, who was superior in light skills, she remembered that Wufeng should be in this house, "No wind, no wind!" ”
"Whew-"
The windless like a gust of wind flew over Mama Chang's head, chasing after Mei Qi.
In the dead of night, under the light of the round moon, two figures soared on the rooftops one after the other.
Seeing that Wufeng was about to catch up with Mei Qi, Mei Qi's figure suddenly disappeared on one of the roofs.
Wufeng quickly arrived at the place where Mei Qi disappeared, he checked the surroundings, and explored several alleys connected to the house here, but he didn't find anything suspicious, he couldn't figure out why a big living person suddenly disappeared.
He focused his gaze on the house beneath his feet, and he didn't think there was anything else possible.
Sneaking into the house, it seems that no one has lived in this house for a long time, and the tables and stools are full of dust.
After a careful investigation, there seems to be nothing abnormal, where did the little seventh girl go?
He was very anxious in his heart, and no matter what, he still tried to find a way to tell his master about the situation here.
It's just that the master is now the crown prince of Dali.
To everyone's surprise, the edict left by the emperor before his death did not pass the throne to his nephew as previously agreed, but passed it on to his own younger brother, the loyal prince.
This incident has become the biggest topic of conversation among the subjects of the Great Calendar after tea and dinner, but as long as you think about it, this is unexpected but reasonable.
Although the emperor had no heirs, he was very filial to his mother, the queen mother, the queen mother, and when he was dying, he passed the throne to his brother, and then blocked the delusions of many people.
However, although the overall situation is now settled, the situation is unstable, and it is difficult for the master to take care of this side, plus the palace is now more vigilant than usual, and even a mosquito can't fly in, how can the news of the disappearance of the little seventh girl be passed on to the master?
Wangfu, yes, the master will definitely leave a contact information with him in the Zhongwang Mansion, presumably the situation at that time must be a critical situation, and the master has no chance to inform them.
When Wufeng thought of this, he flew towards the Zhongwang Mansion as fast as a wind.
He is ashamed of the people who lost his master and told him to protect him!
Now only by quickly finding the little seventh girl can he alleviate his guilt, even if he loses his life, he has no complaints!
