Chapter 515: Night Encounter
The cold palace was inexplicably on fire, and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and Concubine Su did not see anyone alive or dead, which made people have to associate the fire with Concubine Su.
The emperor had doubts in his heart, although he felt that it was impossible and unreasonable for Concubine Su to do such a thing, but it was an indisputable fact that she was missing at this juncture, so he could only temporarily issue a wanted warrant for Concubine Su, and Concubine Su was wanted by the whole country.
The Queen Mother comforted her and went back to her bedroom, but the Queen Mother grabbed the little emperor and asked casually, "Then Han Mi'er has come over?" ”
The little emperor shook his head, "No." ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth, everyone in the palace knew that Han Mi'er was a lively person, but she didn't take a look at such a big thing, and even the other concubines in the palace sent someone to ask a word or two, but this Han Mi'er was indifferent from beginning to end, isn't she a thief?
Although the Empress Dowager only guessed and didn't dare to assert, she already suspected Han Mi'er in her heart.
The fire was also extinguished, things have been arranged, the little emperor with filial piety all the way to the Empress Dowager back to the Qingxuan Palace, just arrived at the door was startled by the figure that suddenly rushed out, and when he saw the person who came clearly, he was surprised: "Why is the prince here?" ”
In the short time that she was driven back to the Qingxuan Palace to wait, Hua Qingying felt that her life was so long. It was an unprecedented fear, and it scared Hua Qingying even more than the previous parting. He was restless and anxious, and the ants on the hot pan could no longer describe his current state. The little palace maid of Qingxuan Hall wanted him to sit down and calm down several times, but repeated persuasion was fruitless.
Hua Qingying lingered at the door, looking out all the time, and finally waited for the Queen Mother to come back, and he naturally pounced.
Fortunately, Hua Qingying did not lose her mind, and saw that the emperor stopped the words that she was about to blurt out, but she was never able to make a respectful expression, so she had to take a few steps back with a cold face and said, "See the emperor." ”
"You don't need so much courtesy between you and me." The little emperor waved his hand indifferently, "The prince is here to see the imperial grandmother, come in." ”
The emperor has even helped him find a reason, how can he not keep up. However, neither of them expected that in the middle of the night, Hua Qingying, a foreign man, came to the palace to see that the Queen Mother had not left, which was a strange thing. Maybe the emperor knows it, but he just doesn't say it.
Entering the main hall, Hua Qingying looked at the Empress Dowager every time and wanted to stop talking, and wanted to ask regardless of it several times, but she stopped it abruptly, making him feel tightness in his chest for a while.
However, the Empress Dowager couldn't help it first, and as soon as she sat down, she said: "Concubine Su is missing, and she didn't find Le Xin and the child, so she should leave together." ”
Le Xin and the child are not dead!
Hua Qingying breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that mentioned her throat also fell back.
"However, I don't know where they went, so it's missing."
Hua Qingying opened her mouth, but in the end she smiled bitterly, no matter what, the disappearance was easier for him to accept than the separation between heaven and man. As long as they are alive, you will find them!
The little emperor looked at the Empress Dowager and then at Hua Qingying, "What kind of dumb riddle are the imperial grandmothers and the prince playing?" ”
Hua Qingying looked at the emperor with some hesitation, after all, this matter involved Emperor Qiyuan, and it was a little taboo after all. However, the Empress Dowager shook the little emperor's sturdy eye knife, and snorted coldly: "It's not all the good things that your father did, so you actually locked Yaozong's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law in the cold palace." If you let it go early, there will be nothing, but it will be known to some people, and things will become more and more troublesome. ”
The Empress Dowager sighed, "It's a good thing your father did!" ”
The little emperor opened his mouth, and it took a long time to find his voice: "What's the matter?" Why did my father lock Mrs. Hou in the cold palace? Even if he listened to the slander and misunderstood the Hua family at the beginning, it should be to lock people up in prison! ”
The little emperor noticed that the empress dowager's face was a little strange, but he didn't understand why, and even why his father wanted to lock the lady of the Hua family in the cold palace.
Although he became the emperor, Yun Suiyue was still only a teenager after all, and where could he figure out the twists and turns. The Empress Dowager didn't mean to explain to the little emperor, but said: "It was also the sin created by your father before, and the most important thing now is to get Le Xin and the child back." ”
Although the little emperor felt that things were a little strange, he also understood that now was not the time to get to the bottom of the matter, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and said on the matter: "I don't think that this fire was put by Concubine Su, and she has no reason to do such a thing." ”
The Empress Dowager thought about it and suddenly thought of a possibility: "What if Concubine Su is also forced to be helpless?" And isn't there a person who hasn't shown up today? ”
The Empress Dowager's meaning is something, the little emperor and Hua Qingying both heard it, Hua Qingying is a lively brain, otherwise she can't lead the army to win the battle, and now after calming down, I also feel that where can there be such a coincidence? The Emperor Taishang was under house arrest, but the cold palace here is on fire again, and the Queen Mother also made it clear before that the cold palace has been targeted.
Hua Qingying thought that maybe it was because Le Xin's identity had been completely exposed, and Concubine Su had to put this fire on the fire and make a golden cicada out of her shell?
Hua Qingying said her thoughts, but these are just speculations, and she can't make a definitive conclusion until she finds the truth. The most important thing now is to find them! Le Xin has not yet been confined, and I don't know if they are with Concubine Su. If you are together, you can still have a care. But if they weren't together, they really couldn't imagine how Le Xin would live with their children!
In short, no matter what, find the people first!
The Empress Dowager immediately made a decision to let the emperor order to quietly find Le Xin's whereabouts, and the wanted notice for Concubine Su was not removed. Hua Qingying said goodbye to the emperor and the empress dowager and went home with a heavy face, his wife he could never do nothing, and immediately exchanged for his subordinates who were searching for Le Xin's whereabouts from ten miles away from Yongjing City!
On the official road outside Yongjing City, four carriages drove over quickly, but the small lantern hanging next to the wheel did not move, illuminating the road ahead for the carriage in the dark. Suddenly, the carriage that was walking in front stopped suddenly, and Zhou Rong, who was driving, looked up at the sky in the distance and frowned.
Because the car stopped too suddenly, and it was blocked in the middle of the road, the vehicles behind it also reluctantly stopped. Yu Jiamin looked over: "What's wrong?" ”
Yu Jiamin's voice was very low, not wanting to disturb Hua Qingyan and Mrs. Mei, who had already rested.
Zhou Rong pointed to the front and said, "Ahead, Yongjing City seems to be out of water." ”
Zhou Rong could already confirm his thoughts, he couldn't be wrong about such a big fire! And look in that direction - it's the Imperial Palace!
Yu Jiamin was also startled when he looked at Zhou Rong's line of sight, and at this time, Fang Xing, who was hidden in the dark, also walked out and knocked on the wall of the carriage of Rui Wangfu and said, "Lord Wang, your subordinates will go back to the city first, right?" ”
"Hmm." Yun Shumo's cold voice came from the carriage, but there was no trace of fatigue and laziness in the middle of the night, obviously he was very sober.
The star responded and disappeared into the night in a single turn. Yun Shumo lifted the curtain and looked at it, squinting his eyes, his ink-colored eyes were exceptionally bright in the dark night, like stars twinkling in the night sky. Zhou Rong can see where the water is, and Yun Shumo can naturally see it. And even he could see the direction clearly.
Yun Shumo glanced at Hua Qingyan, who was sleeping beside him, pursed his lips, and didn't intend to say it. He pulled the slippery silk quilt on the side and covered it for Hua Qingyan, and said softly, "Let's go." ”
With Yun Shumo's order, the convoy marched again. But just after taking two steps, I was forced to stop again!
A figure broke out of the darkness and rolled straight under Zhou Rong's horse, if it weren't for Zhou Rong's reaction, that person would have become the ghost of this horse at this moment!
The neighing of the horse woke up the people in their sleep, Hua Qingyan slept a little dazed, listened to the sound of the horse outside the car, rubbed her eyes and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Zhou Rong jumped out of the carriage and walked in front of the man, frowning. I look at the figure of a slender woman, but I don't know who this woman is, and she did such a dangerous thing in the middle of the night! Zhou Rong didn't dare to approach, after all, annoying hearts are indispensable!
"Hmm!" The man seemed to come to his senses, too, and sat up with one hand on the ground. She also seemed to be a little dazed, looked at Zhou Rong blankly, and did not speak.
Zhou Rong felt strange that this woman had not done any disguise, and she was quite embarrassed, and her clothes were ragged as if she had escaped from some place. With the candlelight and moonlight, Zhou Rong saw her face clearly, although she was already a little old, but she was also a flower and a moon, but now her face was stained with black ash.
"Who are you?" Zhou Rong asked coldly.
The man seemed to be frightened by the cold-faced Zhou Rong, after all, the scar on Zhou Rong's face in the dark night was particularly terrifying.
"I ......"
The woman looked left and right, her eyes fell behind Zhou Rong, and suddenly lit up: "Lord Wang, county lord!" ”
Hua Qingyan had already gotten out of the carriage and walked this way with Yun Shumo. She hadn't yet woken up, and in the dark night she suddenly heard someone calling herself, and she was so frightened that many ghost stories about walking at night flashed in her mind. Yun Shumo patted her shoulder soothingly, "It's okay, it's an acquaintance." ”
"Acquaintances?" Hua Qingyan was stunned for a moment and looked forward. She tilted her head and looked at it for a long time before she recognized who the person in front of her was.
"Concubine Su? How did you end up here? ”
Isn't the person in front of you Concubine Su? However, Concubine Su's appearance made Hua Qingyan a little incredulous. She walked a few steps quickly and pulled Concubine Su up from the ground: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
