All this was unaware, and even the little eunuch who had been leading the way at the bottom of the stairs with a lantern poked his head and quietly disappeared.

Half an hour later, the carriage went out of the palace gate smoothly, and then Liao Zhuo jumped down with Zhang Zhen on his shoulders in a no-man's area at the corner of the street. Cui Fu, who was wearing a large sable fur cloak, turned his head at the front of the car and said, "You guys should go and come back quickly!" I'll have to come back after two rounds! Don't blame me for not being able to enter the palace when you turn around!"

Liao Zhuopi smiled and said, "We don't blame you, let the prince blame you." ”

Cui Fu's face stiffened, and he shrank his neck and scolded: "Mom, if you pull a, you know that you are bullying me!" Don't even think about rubbing my bed again! Then he dropped the curtain and let the car drive away.

Liao Zhuo and Qin Fang did not show up in front of people because they were secret guards, so they did not have a special place to live, but they had their own methods, for example, these days Liao Zhuo took a fancy to the warmth around Cui Fu, and slept comfortably in the side hall of Yongfu Palace with him. And because Qin Fang had Liao Zhuo on duty at night, he could also rest assured that he could go to the empty bunk of the people on duty in the night palace.

Liao Zhuo and the others sent Zhang Zhen to the Anmu Palace, and Sun Shiqian led them to follow.

Based on the fact that he hadn't woken up yet, and the current trial was also a white trial, Yin Yu asked people to lock him up first after hearing about it, and he continued to comfort Yin Xu, who was crying because his beloved little rabbit suddenly froze to death.

The next morning, the emperor woke up with his eyes open, and habitually stretched out his hand to wait for Zhang Zhen's support, but he didn't expect that it was Zhang Zhen's apprentice Jiang An's hand that stretched out.

"Where's Zhang Zhen?" He wondered.

Jiang An hurriedly knelt down, with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, my master is missing!" I disappeared in the middle of the night, and I haven't found it yet! ”

"What?"

The emperor was instantly shocked, originally this was not a big deal, Zhang Zhen is an old man in the palace, and his identity is different, what accidents will he have? But because of Xie Rong's words before he died, he can't take it lightly now.

"How can good people go missing? Find it now! ”

With these words, the entire Qianqing Palace and even the entire palace city moved.

In the case of the enemy and the darkness, the great eunuch beside the emperor actually disappeared in the middle of the night quietly, how can this be underestimated? In addition to the discussions, someone soon reported that they saw Zhang Zhen going to the East Palace in the middle of the night, so they followed one clue after another, and the prince was finally summoned to the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor questioned him.

"Where is Zhang Zhen?"

The prince had never been involved in this matter, but when he heard the wind in the morning and was about to make a move, Cui Fu suddenly knelt in front of him and explained what had happened, so he had a score in his heart. He first called Liao Zhuo and the others out and criticized them fiercely, and then arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

Hearing the questioning, the prince frowned and said, "Erchen is also investigating." ”

Father said angrily: "They said that he went to the East Palace last night, but you told me that you didn't know!" ”

The crown prince raised his head: "It's just a minion, why is my father so nervous?" was seen by the courtiers, but there was a suspicion of favoring the eunuchs. ”

"You—" The Emperor choked with rage, and pointed at him speechless.

The crown prince was also afraid of being angry, so he immediately accepted it when he saw it, and said: "Father doesn't have to worry too much, the son will definitely send someone to investigate." ”

There was a lot of commotion in the palace, where could the court not hear the truth of Xun'er? For a while, the mothers and families of the concubines entered the palace to inquire about the details, and they all asked if there was a traitor in the palace who wanted to murder the emperor, but killed Zhang Zhen by mistake? Some even secretly suspected, asking if Mr. Seven had infiltrated the palace and was ready to assassinate the emperor at any time?

Xie Wan only sighed when he heard these rumors, and on the one hand, he let people go out to avoid the rumors, and on the other hand, he went into the harem every day to accompany Concubine De.

Zhang Zhen didn't say a word from waking up to now, and couldn't ask anything, based on not killing innocents indiscriminately, he had to remain locked up, and wait until he found Mr. Seven's whereabouts before making plans.

Wu Kui and their investigation of the official household have already checked sixty percent of the target list, and as the remaining targets are getting fewer and fewer, and still no results have been obtained, Xie Wan has also begun to feel a little anxious in his heart.

However, there is also good news that Wu Kui and his actions continue to discover some of the mansions of the nameless lord, and there are clues about Mr. Seven from time to time, and judging from Mr. Seven's increasingly close small movements, it may not be too far from the goal.

The cabinet also began to pay attention to Zhang Zhen's disappearance, except for Wei Bin, even Duan Zhongming didn't know about it, and Duan Zhongming said when several people in the cabinet were discussing politics: "It seems that Xie Rong's dying words are not false, Mr. Seven's people are really ready to attack the palace." Elder Wei Ge, we still have to strengthen the guards in the palace! ”

Shen Hao nodded.

Du Liu and the others also rarely actively seconded the proposal this time.

Wei Bin sighed and said, "In my opinion, maybe this Zhang Zhen itself is very suspicious!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and Dou Jin, who had not spoken, said: "If Zhang Zhen is Mr. Seven's person, then the palace will already be in chaos." ”

This sounded reasonable, so everyone thought so.

But no matter what, only by finding Zhang Zhen can we solve the mystery. Wei Bin ordered troops to be sent to strengthen the palace ban, and at the same time, several generals of the Protectorate Mansion also put on armor and went into battle.

Mr. Seven became anxious day by day in the increasingly severe situation, even if he didn't say it, Liu Zhen could see it.

"It's a conspiracy, and it's a conspiracy to cause trouble for me!" He slammed his fist on the table, a faint flash of fire in his eyes. The loss of a eunuch in the palace is also counted on his head, is this planning to force him out in an all-encompassing way?

Liu Zhen was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "I heard that this Zhang Zhen was a person who followed Queen Xuanhui in his early years, Zhang Zhen was often bullied when he first entered the palace, and was almost beaten to death, but Queen Xuanhui passed by and rescued him, and then he was desperate for Xuanhui and Prince Hui'an. After Empress Xuanhui died, the emperor saw that he was loyal, so he took him by his side, and it has been forty years. ”

Mr. Seven abruptly turned around, "You mean, his disappearance is due to his identity?" ”

Liu Zhen was silent and said, "According to the later reports of those who monitored Xie Rong at the time, Zhang Zhen once went to Xie Rong's mansion, and he was reinstated soon after. At that time, we only focused on the fact that he had been rehabilitated, and did not delve into the details of what happened. Now it seems that this Jane is actually not simple. ”

When Mr. Seven heard this, the anger on his face subsided a little, and he stared at the ground for a moment and said, "In this way, it is very likely that someone noticed his misdeeds and removed him. ”

"And this person, Yin Yu is the most suspicious." Liu Zhen continued his words and said his guess.

Mr. Seven was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Not bad!" It's Yin Yu. I shouldn't have believed Xie Rong at the beginning, he betrayed Ji Zhenyuan, of course he didn't mind betraying me again, he told Xie Wan about what I was going to do in the palace when he was dying, so he couldn't even insert a needle in the palace recently! Yin Yu is suspicious of Zhang Zhen, of course he will get rid of him! ”

"So, it's true that people are Yin Yu, but they are not coming at us. Sir, you have to hold your breath. ”

Liu Zhen said eloquently.

Recently, Mr. Seven was very anxious, which he had not seen in twenty years with him, and if he could not hold his breath at this time, it would be completely hopeless.

"Be sure to find an opportunity to make a move in the palace as soon as possible! Didn't you go to Yin Yao? How's it going? Mr. Seven asked.

Liu Zhen said: "Yin Yao has been on duty in the palace recently, and it is difficult to find opportunities. ”

"Then look again! Until you find your chance! ”

The cups and plates on the table fell to the ground, slamming and splattering.

Zhang Zhen did all this with Yin Yu, and she has been in the harem a lot recently.

Concubine De Shufei also felt uneasy because of this, they have been in the harem all their lives, they are very handy with the struggle between women and even the political interests of the court, but they have a natural powerlessness against these violent and terrifying things. In front of the killers of the chaotic party, they can only be slaughtered like fish on the knife.

In this case, Xie Wan tried his best to alleviate their worries.

She took Yin Xu into the palace, Yin Xu chattered with them about his tragic death of the little rabbit, and after talking from Concubine Shu, he went to Concubine De's palace and said that the whole person was listless, and he was not even in the mood to eat the pearl cake that Concubine De specially left for him.

Concubine De was so distressed that she picked him up and asked the palace maid to turn out an inch-long red gold rabbit for him to play.

Xie Wan sighed: "I think that when Prince Hui'an was here, he always did something that made people cry and laugh like Xu'er." ”

Concubine De's body paused slightly, and her smile narrowed slightly, "How long ago did it happen, and what did you mention him?" ”

Xie Wan looked at her and said, "Xu is a mother, but now I can't bear to hear about these children suffering. Although Prince Hui'an is the prince in the palace and is very favored by the emperor, but at that time, I lost my mother, I suffered the pain of losing my mother, and Hui'an lost her mother at a younger age than me, how can it not make people feel distressed? ”

Xu is this remark poked at the natural weakness of women, or maybe it was Xie Wan's companionship these days that made Concubine De relax her vigilance, or maybe Yin Xu's innocence really reminded her of the long-lost past, Concubine De stared into the distance, and her expression gradually became heavy.

"Actually, if it's just the loss of a mother, that's fine. It's just that the way he looked when he was sick at the time is very distressing when I think about it now. ”

Xie Wan hurriedly said: "I don't know how miserable? ”

Concubine De sighed, handed Yin Xu to Xia Zhi next to her, then picked up the teacup, and then looked out of the door and said: "I didn't see him with my own eyes when he was ill, I just remember that at that time, because there was only one prince in the palace, and we had not been in the palace for a long time, we were only humble status, and at that time, we all needed to stay outside the Zhongcui Palace to pray for him."

And the cries of the children in the temple were intermittent, sometimes high-pitched shouts, sometimes long moans, and every word was like an iron claw pulling at our hearts, and even if we could not see him, it was very indescribable to hear a three-year-old child suffering from illness alone, and we adults could not do anything. So now that I think about it, it's still a little unbearable. ”rs
