Chapter 55: A Game Within a Game (Part I)
At night, the palace was brightly lit, and the Praetorian Guards ran around the palace's gardens with torches, and the pavilions searched for Xiao Qingyue's traces.
In the Xuanzhi Palace, Xiao Yan was lying on the bed and resting, for Xiao Yuyao's affairs, he had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights. Seeing that the lights were bright outside, and there was an occasional noisy sound passing by, he opened his mouth to ask.
"What's going on, why is it so noisy outside"
When Sun Ruhai heard this, he hurriedly came to the bedside and replied respectfully, "Back to the emperor, someone found out that there were rats outside the palace just now, and the old slave called the Praetorian Guards to come over, disturbing the emperor's rest, the old slave should die."
Xiao Yan heard that he was catching a mouse, but he didn't have any suspicion, turned over, and continued to sleep.
When Sun Ruhai saw the person on the bed, his breathing gradually returned to evenness, and he quietly sweated in his heart. In the afternoon, Xiao Nanfeng came to him in person, saying that Xiao Qingyue was missing in the palace, and asked him not to alarm Xiao Yan and hide the matter. I don't know.,Did the princess find it this month.。。。
At this time, Xiao Tong, Shen Yuzhang, Xiao Nanfeng and Su Xing were all in Feixia Palace, they turned over the palace in the afternoon, but they didn't find anyone...
Xiao Tong couldn't help but wonder, "Has Qingyue been taken out of the palace by someone?" ”
"Impossible! I have already asked the forbidden army guarding the palace gate, and there are no suspicious people out of the palace in the afternoon," Shen Yuzhang vetoed.
Xiao Nanfeng and Su Xing both felt that Xiao Qingyue was still in the palace. It was less than half an hour before and after they went from the Frost Flower Hall to the Feixia Hall and then to the Xiliang Palace, and it was impossible for the person who held Xiao Qingyue hostage to get people out of the palace in such a short time.
At this time, Su Xing asked, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know if there are any secret passages in the palace, or places like the underground palace" Now in the palace, except for a few bedrooms of the main palace maidens, there is no trace of clues everywhere, unless people are hidden in some unknown secret passage.
Xiao Tong pondered for a moment and said, "I have always lived in the palace, and I have never heard of any secret passages."
It's strange, a big living person just disappeared?
Xiao Nanfeng kept staring out the window, tonight's sky, two stars holding the moon, forming a spectacle. After pondering for a long time, he said indifferently.
"Let's search the palace"
When several people heard this, they all looked at the person with their backs to them.
"Uncle Huang, this is not appropriate! To search the palaces, you must get a handwritten warrant from your father" Xiao Tong was also very worried about Xiao Qingyue's safety, but searching the palace was not a trivial matter.
Su Xing and Shen Yuzhang were silent, they also agreed with Xiao Nanfeng's approach, and the fact that the person disappeared in the palace meant that this matter must be related to someone in the palace.
At this time, Xiao Nanfeng turned around and tore off the jade pendant around his waist, which was his personal seal.
"This is the king's private seal, and it will be handed over to the prince for the time being, and the king will be fully responsible for this matter!"
Xiao Tong was a little stunned, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Uncle Huang's words are serious, I will arrange for people to search the palaces."
"Take someone to search the Qingluan Hall first!"
Qingluan Palace?!
When the words fell, the three of them suddenly turned their eyes to the man who was still calm.
Qingluan Hall is Li Xiurong, Li Luwei's dormitory, what does this have to do with her?
At this moment, Li Luwei was a little restless in her room, and she saw in the afternoon that a large number of Praetorian Guards were searching all over the palace.
Looking at it like this, it doesn't seem to mean to stop.
Xiao Qingyue was tied up by her, before in the Linchuan Palace, Xiao Qingyue bumped into her and Xiao Xu's private meeting, she has been nervous since she returned to the palace, and she has been having nightmares at night. dreamed that her ugly deeds were exposed, and she was given death by Xiao Yan's order. After thinking about it, she decided to dispose of Xiao Qingyue unknowingly and secretly. But who knows, even if there is such a big movement, the people from the East Palace, Linchuan Palace, and the General's Mansion have all entered the palace one after another. She can't go out now, so she can only stay in her dormitory.
At this time, Chang Xi, the chief eunuch of Qingluan Palace, hurriedly came back from outside, and as soon as Li Luwei saw him, she asked anxiously.
"How?"
"The princess is still in the cellar in the back garden, and the slave didn't dare to stay there for any longer and came back, just now I saw the hussar general take someone to the Chenghuan Palace, it seems that he wants to search the palace"
"Search the palace?! Does the emperor know about this? ”
Xiao Yan has been staying in the Xuanshi Hall for the past two days and has not shown up, and he should not know about Xiao Qingyue's disappearance.
"The minions don't know, there doesn't seem to be any movement in the Xuanshi Palace, so they must not know"
Searching the palace is a big deal, since it didn't get Xiao Yan's approval, who would be so bold and privately order the palace search. Just when she was still thinking about it, a maid hurriedly ran in and said that the prince of the East Palace and the sixth prince had arrived outside the Qingluan Palace...
Li Luwei straightened out her clothes and makeup, and came out calmly to greet her...
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"I don't know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Six Princes came together, why did they come together"
Xiao Nanfeng glanced at it lightly, pretending to be a calm person, "Don't you really know about the beauty lady?" ”
Li Luwei was slightly stunned, and was panicked by Xiao Nanfeng's eyes, "How can Lu Wei not understand the words of the prince" After speaking, she stroked her gorgeous hair bun a little unnaturally.
Don't you understand! Xiao Nanfeng hooked the corners of his lips, and a sneer drew the corners of his mouth.
"Search!"
With an order, all the guards swarmed in, Li Luwei did not stop more, just search, anyway, no one is in Qingluan Palace.
Xiao Nanfeng couldn't help but squint dangerously when he saw that she didn't care about herself.
After a search, no one was found, and the night was getting darker and darker, and it was almost time, if no one could be found. Xiao Qingyue is afraid that her life is in danger!
Seeing that the search had no results, Xiao Tong respectfully said a few words of apology, and then closed the team and left the Qingluan Palace. And when Xiao Nanfeng was leaving, he took a few deep glances at the people in Qingluan Palace.
Qingluan Palace,There's a problem.。。。
Xiao Qingyue was tied up in the dark cellar, panting a little weakly, in addition to the sound of gurgling water, there were also various insect chirping sounds in her ears. She knew it must be dark by now ...
She had been in a coma just now, and she heard many footsteps passing over her head from time to time, and she thought that it might be Youyu and the others who had discovered that she was missing and were sending someone to look for her.
When it was already a child, the temperature in the cellar was unusually damp and cold. Xiao Qingyue sneered secretly, she has really had many disasters recently. I don't know who wants her life this time...
At this moment, a faint smell of alcohol reached the tip of her nose. How can this place smell of alcohol?
This cellar is the wine cellar of the previous dynasty, and later after Xiao Yan came to power, he ordered this cellar to be filled with soil, but for some reason it is now empty.
Xiao Qingyue didn't know what this place was, but Li Luwei did, because this wine cellar was built with her grandfather's participation, but she didn't expect it to be used today.
After Li Luwei left, she immediately asked people to send a letter to Xiao Xu in the Luling Palace, she was afraid that she would be burned.
As soon as there was any movement on the side of Qingluan Palace, someone immediately went to report to Xiao Nanfeng. It turned out that after leaving just now, Xiao Nanfeng sent two people to monitor around the Qingluan Palace. What he suspected at first was Li Luwei, he had already known about Xiao Xu and Li Luwei's affair, and the last time they were bumped into by Xiao Qingyue, Li Luwei would definitely make a move...
Xiao Nanfeng didn't expect that he had warned Xiao Xu not to touch Xiao Qingyue before, and just a few days later, Li Luwei stretched out her hand to Xiao Qingyue again. This matter should have been done by Li Luwei alone, since Xiao Xu knew Xiao Qingyue's life experience, he would not have taken people away at this time, and he didn't have the guts. It seems that Li Luwei does not know Xiao Qingyue's life experience.
And Shen Yuzhang and the others have searched all the palaces and have not found Xiao Qingyue's figure, several people have been in a stalemate for a while, and now it is the second half of the night, they are all worried about Xiao Qingyue...
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The night was already thick, and at this time in Qingluan Palace, Li Luwei had already rested in her clothes, and she had been thinking about Xiao Qingyue, so she didn't sleep well. After turning over, she felt a dark shadow standing in front of the bed. When she opened her eyes completely, she was immediately frightened by the dark shadow! I was about to scream, but the man grabbed my throat first.
At this time, the two maids who were keeping vigil in the room had already been knocked out and fell aside.
In the lantern in front of the bed, there is a faint candlelight, shining on the face of the color of the city...
Li Luwei opened her eyes in horror and looked at the people who were close at hand!
Then the man asked, "Say!" Where's Yue'er? ”
Li Luwei shook her head while holding the hand on her neck, and her mouth made a staccato sound, "I... No.. Know... ”
When the words fell, the hand on his neck tightened a few more points, and the cold words came again.
"This king found that you and Xiao Xu are a perfect match, they don't see the coffin and don't shed tears!"
When Li Luwei heard this, her heart was overwhelmed! This man knows about them!
The man asked again with some impatience, "Where is Yue'er!" ”
Li Luwei felt that the hand on her neck was getting tighter and tighter, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that her life would be in danger! Looking at the man's appearance of a hellish Yama, she was really scared, how could she not associate this person with the most beautiful man in the world in Yushu Linfeng.
"In ... At... After.. Flower.. Garden.. Pond... Attach.. Near.. Target.. Earth.. Cellar... ”
She never knew it was such a laborious task to complete a sentence!
"How to get in"
"Pool... Pond... On the side... There's a... Organs"
After Xiao Nanfeng heard the answer he wanted, he lifted the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a chilling smile, "Very good!" You are much more knowledgeable than Xiao Xu! After speaking, he shook off the people under his palm, a gust of wind struck, and the man in the room was gone, leaving only the fragrance of tea that could not be dispersed for a long time...
Xiao Nanfeng didn't have time to inform the others, so he quickly came to the pond in the back garden with light skills, and after searching around there, he found the activation mechanism by a rock on the edge of the pond. After touching the mechanism, a hole is opened in a place next to him. He took out a fire fold, followed it inside, and shouted, "Yue'er! ”
This call has exhausted all the worries and worries...
At this moment, in the cellar, the groggy man thought that he was having auditory hallucinations.
Xiao Qingyue didn't expect that at this time, the person she thought about the most was Xiao Nanfeng. No matter how much she denies it, she already has that person in her heart ...
