Chapter 003: The Evil in the Deep Palace (3)

If you want to say that His Royal Highness Lingjun is missing, it is strange enough.

Mrs. Qi Ru lost her son, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and the son finally left an heir, looking at it like a baby with his heart, how could he lose it for no reason.

After this incident, the king's heart was also uncomfortable, and he ordered people to look around, but he never saw the whereabouts of the child, worried and suspicious, depressed, and his body and bones were naturally not very good.

Coincidentally, at this time, someone heard the cry of a baby in the East Palace, and thought that it was the ghost of Shujin Niangniang, and even the king's illness was counted on her head.

"Do you think I haven't searched the East Palace?"

The senior brother muttered impatiently: "Since the rumors spread in the palace, I asked His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun for an order to search the East Palace, but there was nothing. ”

The East Palace has become a forbidden place in the palace, the last time I passed by, I saw that the gate outside the palace was locked, and the door was already full of wild grass.

Because of the prince and Shujin Niangniang, usually the palace people don't even dare to pass by, let alone open the door to enter, so it is not difficult to hide a baby there, but the difficult thing is how to transfer the baby out in front of so many people.

I lowered my head and thought about it, and then I heard my senior brother say distressedly: "There must be something else that I didn't think of." ”

Seeing his chattering appearance, I couldn't help laughing: "You also said, it's a baby, not a flower, a grass, the baby will cry and make trouble, if you are really in this palace, when you search, it is impossible not to hear the movement, so far I haven't found it, there are only two possibilities, one is that someone took it out of the palace, and the other is ......."

I deliberately sold a pass, knocked on my senior brother's shoulder with the jade flute, and whispered in his ear: "That little highness Lingjun, perhaps, has already died." ”

The senior brother was frightened by me, and said slightly angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

He flicked his sleeves and pushed me away a little: "These words, it's okay to say them in front of me, in front of others, but be careful, do you know what kind of sin it is to curse the emperor's heir?" ”

Seeing that he didn't believe me, I shrugged my shoulders and had to shut up.

When we arrived at the king's bedroom, we were told that the king was asleep, and His Royal Highness Xiao Zhuo, the emperor's eldest grandson, was serving in the palace.

The layers of palace eaves made the already solemn palace become a little darker and heavier, and there was silence all around, as if it was dead, without a trace of vitality.

The palace people and the guards stood motionless in the corridor, and only when the breeze blew by, the sleeve ribbons could be raised a little, and such an atmosphere was inevitably depressing.

I lowered my head and fiddled with the tassels on the jade pendant of the flute boredly, and listened to the senior brother sigh with emotion: "I heard that since the king is sick, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor has been serving in the palace. ”

I hummed, and then listened to him: "I hope that God will remember His Highness's filial piety, so that the king's illness will be cured as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, I looked at him and couldn't help but show a playful expression: "Senior brother has a very good impression of that Highness. ”

"That's nature."

The senior brother's expression was proud, and he arched his hand and said: "In this imperial city, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness's kindness, benevolence and filial piety are the blessings of the people of the world?" ”

"Yes......"

My expression was even more teasing, and I said: "But don't forget, there is a rumor in the palace that it was Shujin Niangniang who took away His Royal Highness Lingjun, and she was still secretly plotting to kill the king, but that Shujin Niangniang was the mother of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson." ”

"This ......," the senior brother was speechless for a moment.

He also defended: "This is just speculation in the palace, it is not certain whether it is Shujin Niangniang, not to mention, it is really Shujin Niangniang's doing, I believe His Highness can also make the right decision." ”

Seeing his hard mouth, I smiled again, and the senior brother lowered his face and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Nothing."

I put the jade flute in my sleeve and said: "I just feel that all things in the world rely on the blessings and misfortunes, and the blessings and disasters are interdependent and transform each other. ”

Senior brother gave me an angry look, and suddenly raised his hand, wanting to hit me: "You are always so alarmist! ”

Afraid that he would teach me a lesson again, I hurriedly took two steps back, distanced myself from him, and joked: "Senior brother, you can see the fortune teller under the stone bridge, this cultivation technique is already false and real, true and false, invisible, intangible, no one can tell, if you are not alarmist, in this palace, where can I stand?" ”
