The officials sent out by the Yin of Shuntian Mansion to look for him came back dejectedly. Ping Bohou made a fire in the study, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the bookcase were all brushed to the ground by him, and the ground was a mess. Lin Dongxian was accompanying Aunt Qing and reading to her. Aunt Qing closed her eyes, quietly listened to Lin Dongxian's soft voice, and closed her eyes tiredly unconsciously.

After Aunt Qing fell asleep peacefully, Lin Dongxian put down the book in her hand, walked to the cabinet lightly, took a cloak and put it on Aunt Qing's body, and then slowly left, closed the door, and sighed. Aunt Qing must always send someone to follow her, she wants to win her trust now, so that Aunt Qing can take off her guard. Only in this way can she find an opportunity to leave the capital as soon as possible.

At the same time, he complained in his heart that Jiang Feilong was still the governor of Jinyi Wei, and even she couldn't find her. It's a pity that she can't take the initiative to find him, so she can only wait for him to come over quietly, Lin Dongxian shook her head to brush away these thoughts, and went back to the house to rest. Wu Guowei slowly opened his eyes, what kind of place is this, frowned and thought for a while, he remembered that in the prison, a jailer said that Pingbohou sent someone to take him back to his house.

He was full of joy and went out of prison, but he didn't know the boy who came to pick him up. But he can't turn around and leave, it's not like going to prison again, he's not stupid, go out first. When I got into the carriage, my head was dizzy and I soon lost consciousness. It must have been the boy who had moved his hands and feet in the carriage before he fainted. Where is this, Wu Guowei saw a pink and yellow curtain, and the twilight was slightly cool.

Overhead is a tassel that sways gently in the wind. I moved uncomfortably, but found that the bed under me was cold and hard, even if the complex and gorgeous clouds and silk were spread under me like water, it was always soft but also extremely thin. From time to time, a burst of rosewood wafts in, quiet and beautiful. Next to the couch is the window, exquisite carving, rare wood. Outside the window, there is a beautiful scene, rockery, small pond, blue lotus root, pink water lotus.

From time to time, a little maid passed by, but the footsteps were very soft, and the sound of conversation was also very soft. This was obviously the girl's boudoir, and he would be a fool if he knew it any more. But how did he get to the girl's boudoir, and who would risk rescuing him? Wu Guowei sat up from the bed suddenly, his hands kept stroking his clothes, no longer the prison clothes he was wearing, he was changed into clean clothes, and there was a pair of delicately made boots at the head of the bed, and the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger, where was this, and who took him away in the name of Ping Bohou?

Pushing the door in, it was a young girl who looked in, Wu Guowei instantly grew his mouth, stared at the big round eyes, and said for a while: "Eldest princess, the little one has seen the eldest princess, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." "It was none other than the eldest princess Zhou Qingyou, who pretended to be Ping Bohou and took Wu Guowei out of prison. Climbed from the bed to the ground in a hurry to say hello to Zhou Qingyou, Zhou Qingyou wore a rouge collar and a small jacket, with a frost-colored skirt underneath, a blue palace silk tied around the waist, and a Pisces jade pendant, dressed lively and pretty.

Zhou Qingyou tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Wu Shizi, hurry up, don't be so polite to this palace, come, calm down." Wu Guowei was still thinking about it in his mind, why would the person who picked him up under the name of the eldest princess be the eldest princess? Is there anything hidden in this that he doesn't know, between thoughts, a faint fragrance came from the end of Wu Guowei's nose, and Zhou Qingyou had already walked up to him and helped him get up affectionately.

Wu Guowei subconsciously stood up and took two steps back, trying to keep his distance from Zhou Qingyou. Seeing this, Zhou Qingyou immediately grabbed his thick arm and said, "Wu Shizi, do you like this palace?" Just asked it directly, regardless of the name and reserve of her daughter's family. Wu Guowei was asked by her, opened his mouth wide, and came back to his senses after a while. Empress Pan opened her eyes by calling Zhou Qingyou's name, and the emperor was pleasantly surprised: "Yan'er, you have finally woken up." ”

It's not in vain that he has been by her side, just to wait for her to wake up. Queen Pan coughed a few times, her throat felt uncomfortable with thirst, and she was about to speak, but she found that she couldn't even speak. The emperor did not know the condition of Empress Pan, and Empress Pan could only stretch out her hand and point to her mouth, as if the emperor wanted to drink water.

However, the aunt in charge reacted faster than the emperor, she went to the table and poured a glass of water and handed it to the queen's bed, watching the queen grunt and drink it in one gulp, and the aunt in charge took the teacup in her hand and slowly retreated. The emperor anxiously asked, "Yan'er, how is it, are you better?" If there is anything uncomfortable, don't hide it, be sure to tell me! If Empress Pan wasn't by his side, he couldn't imagine how this day would continue.

So no matter what, he must not let Queen Pan have anything to do, even if he exerts all the strength of the whole country, he must save Queen Pan back! Queen Pan shook her head weakly, "I'm fine, don't worry, by the way, what about Qingyu, have you found her?" She woke up by calling Zhou Qingyou's name, which is enough to show Zhou Qingyou's status in her mind. The emperor instantly put on a straight face and said sharply: "Yan'er, is it in your heart, there is only Yan'er, not me?" ”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have woken up by calling Zhou Qingyou's name, and she didn't even ask him, let alone comfort him. God knows how he survived, his hands were already trembling, but Queen Pan still had the heart to care about Zhou Qingyou at this time, and she didn't know how to care about her condition. The doctor said that he was afraid that he would not be saved, and after so many years, he had not drunk any decoction, and his internal organs had already been injured.

Now for a while, it will be a problem for the imperial doctors to find a way to save Empress Pan's life, and the emperor is giving them a problem. Queen Pan was still looking down to herself thinking about the dream she had just had, in the dream, Zhou Qingyou was holding a sharp dagger in her hand, which directly stimulated her chest, and suddenly the blood stained Queen Pan's eyes red, so that she couldn't help but scream, and then she opened her eyes hard and woke up.

didn't notice that the emperor's tone was wrong, her actions fell in the emperor's eyes, and the dark clouds under his eyes became deeper and deeper. The emperor seemed to punch the cotton, but Empress Pan's body was very weak, and he couldn't really make her angry, if he made her angry, maybe he would faint again, and he didn't know when he would wake up.

He has to be sad and tired about this again, forget it, he still doesn't care about this, put his arm around Queen Pan's shoulders and let her lean on his warm arms, "Don't worry about Qingyou, I have asked Jiang Feilong to look for him, I believe that Jinyiwei will be able to find her soon, and you can recuperate with peace of mind." Come, and I'll help you lie down and rest. The emperor said that he was going to help Empress Pan to lie down, but she waved her hand and refused, Empress Pan said in a deep voice: "I know my body, it's okay, I want to wait for Qingyou to come back, only when I see Qingyou and safe back, I can feel at ease." ”

Zhou Qingyou is her lifeblood, and no one can replace her position in her heart, not even the emperor. Emperor Annai let out the anger in his chest, curled up his hands, and told himself, don't be angry, don't be angry. Queen Pan is a sick person, don't worry about her, and don't compete with Zhou Qingyou for favor, but he still can't help it.

For so many years, she has been in a high position, so that the emperor can't bear it, and she suddenly let go of Empress Pan, she came to her senses, frowned and hesitated: "What's wrong with you?" Is there still political affairs waiting for you to deal with in the DPRK, then you go quickly, don't stay here with me, I'm fine. It will be good when Qingyou comes back to accompany me. As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, the smile in her eyes made the emperor a little dazed, whether Empress Pan knew about her condition.

The emperor really wanted to question Empress Pan, but this anger was quickly disrupted by the palace maids outside the door, and the two princes, Zhou Qingyi and Zhou Qingshu, asked to see each other outside. Queen Pan didn't seem to be very happy, and said lightly: "The concubine is fine, let them go back, and do whatever they have to do." "At this time, Empress Pan was still acting in front of the emperor, why did she think she could deceive him?

"Yan'er, after so many years, have you never trusted me?" A sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he opened his mouth to speak. Queen Pan was stunned by what he said, and she didn't say anything for a long time, keeping her head down. By the time she raised her head, the palace was empty, and there was still the emperor, and he had already left.

Empress Pan had a feeling that she couldn't grasp it, and her heart was on fire, still wondering what the emperor meant by what he said before leaving? The emperor who came out of the queen's bedroom was a little annoyed, Empress Pan's body was not good, and he was still angry with her, could he be guilty? In the end, he compromised, it was not he who was hurt, and for a moment the emperor wanted to turn around and go back, but the emperor's dignity could not be trampled on by anyone, and he had enough of it for so many years.

It happened that Zhou Qingyi and Zhou Qingshu stepped forward to greet him, but they were driven away by him. Queen Pan didn't want to see them, if they were really filial, it would be better to go out of the palace to find Zhou Qingyou and bring her to Queen Pan's bedroom, which was a great achievement. Zhou Qingyi was just about to speak, but was stopped by Zhou Qingshu on the side with his eyes, and waited until the queen raised her feet and left.

Zhou Qingshu said slowly: "Brother Emperor, you are not in the palace, and I don't know why the queen mother fainted, and I don't blame you." "You say so, the mother's fainting has something to do with my sister. My father said that he would get his sister back, could it be that his sister is not in the palace now? Zhou Qing also said unconsciously, and after speaking, he opened his mouth in disbelief, isn't this a joke?

Zhou Qingyou is the eldest princess of the palace, who dares to take her away, let alone the heavily guarded inside and outside the palace. Zhou Qingyou is gone, this is obviously a slap in the face of the emperor, no wonder Empress Pan fainted in anger? The emperor's face just now was not good, hey, Zhou Qingyi's mood became heavy. "Brother Emperor, let's talk while walking!" Zhou Qingshu raised his eyes and looked around, not everything can be said in this palace, and the wall has ears.

Zhou Qing also nodded as if he didn't understand, and left the palace with Zhou Qingshu. The news of Zhou Qingyou's disappearance was leaked out somehow, and in less than half a day, the entire capital was spread, and it was useless for the emperor to suppress this matter. The gossip, he can't stop it. The only way to order the palace people to keep their mouths tight, not to leak this matter to Empress Pan, if anyone leaked in front of her, the emperor would definitely behead her.

As a result, there was a lot of buzz outside the palace, but there was calm in the palace. Lin Xiangqi always had a bad premonition, but he couldn't say the specifics. The emperor usually relied on the cabinet elders and would discuss with them in case of trouble. As for him, the prime minister, only when the emperor dislikes the elders the most, he will think of it and use him to disperse the power of the elders.

This time, the emperor did not summon any elders, but summoned him to the palace, which was enough to make the elders in the cabinet spend their time on him, thinking about how to deal with him, and make him fall out of favor in front of the emperor. In fact, he didn't do anything, the only thing was that Lin Ruoxi was summoned to the palace by the emperor, but he also entered the palace with the prince of Wu Ge's hometown, he could guess the emperor's intentions, and he didn't want to become a pawn in the emperor's hands.

The sound of a sharp knock on the door disrupted all his thoughts, and Lin Ruoxi said with a panicked face: "Father, there are a group of brocade guards outside, you can go out and have a look." "Jinyiwei came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is really bold! When Lin Xiangqi heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, their brocade guards usually rely on the emperor's favor for them, and they don't care if they come wantonly among the people, he has always turned a blind eye, and today he actually came to his house rampantly. If you don't give them some power, he's really easy to bully when he's the prime minister!

Lin Ruoxi swaggered behind Lin Xiangqi, and suddenly felt confident in her heart. Lin Xiangqi has been in the officialdom for so many years, so he naturally has a way to drive Jin Yiwei away, and he can also teach them a hard lesson. Jiang Feilong clenched his fists at Lin Xiangqi, leaned on his ear and muttered a few words, only to see Lin Xiangqi's face change slightly, and soon left with Jiang Feilong. This scene made Lin Ruoxi look a little bit of a monk, confused, what is the situation?

The two princes who left the palace are still discussing, where to find Zhou Qingyou? Are there any suspicious people in the capital recently? Zhou Qingyi suddenly stopped, and a strange thought suddenly came out of his mind, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back in an instant. Zhou Qingshu was just about to turn around and talk to Zhou Qingyi, but when he turned around, where was his person, he was still standing a few feet away from him, not moving.

Zhou Qingshu walked up to him quickly and said, "Brother Emperor, what are you still doing, why don't you go out to find your sister quickly, don't you want to make the queen mother happy?" His eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Zhou Qingyi, because he was still the eldest son of the emperor, and he didn't take Queen Pan's joys, sorrows, and sorrows to heart at all. Zhou Qingshu concealed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Qingyi, rolled up his fist and put it to his mouth and coughed lightly a few times, and said slowly: "Brother Emperor, I also care about the queen mother, don't take it to heart." ”

Zhou Qingyi didn't listen to what he said, and he didn't pay attention to it. Zhou Qingyi pinched Zhou Qingshu's arm vigorously and asked, "You say, is it possible that my sister sneaked out of the palace by herself and went to find Wu Shizi?" Zhou Qingshu pushed Zhou Qingyi violently, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Emperor, what are you talking nonsense, how can my sister be this kind of person?" Is Wu Shizi more important in her heart than her father and mother, eldest brother, this thing without evidence can't be said nonsense. ”

"Second Emperor Brother, what are you doing so excited, I'm not discussing with you to see if there is such a possibility? I didn't say it, my sister must have sneaked out of the palace to find Wu Shizi by herself, after all, the palace was heavily guarded inside and outside, and there were brocade guards guarding it. Don't you think it's strange? Zhou Qingyi's head could remain so clear at this time, Zhou Qingshu frowned and hesitated: "Brother Emperor, is this possible?" Sister, I'm afraid she won't be able to sneak out of the palace alone, right? After saying that, he regretted it, and wished he could slap himself, what was he saying.
