Chapter 17: The uproar
As soon as Jiang Ruixuan came out of the arch, he heard someone shouting 'Fourth Prince', and he didn't raise his head to meet him, and asked coldly, "It's started?" β
"Back to the prince, the emperor and the concubine are waiting for you." The guard said cautiously.
"Let's go." As he spoke, he strode in the direction of the Xuanyuan Palace. He has never liked to be busy, and today is no exception, so he first found a quiet place to rest for a while, and only came out after about the same time.
After walking a few steps and stopping, I always feel strange in my heart, could it be that something is going to happen?
The guards who followed him saw him stop again, and they were so worried that they didn't know what to do, these four princes were notoriously difficult to invite, and if they were delayed, they would have to suffer from a meal of flesh and skin.
"Lord, the auspicious time is coming, you better hurry up, today is the birthday celebration of the little prince."
The little prince? Jiang Ruixuan's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized why his heart was inappropriate, Rong Feng would not leave his sight for too long on weekdays, and today he was in charge of watching the children, how could he disappear for half a day?
"Is the little prince in the main hall?" Jiang Ruixuan turned his head and asked, with a hint of eagerness in his tone.
"Little prince?" The guards were stunned by this sudden question, and after looking at each other, they shook their heads: "I haven't seen the little prince, isn't the little prince with the prince?" β
An ominous premonition hit his heart, and Jiang Ruixuan said coldly: "Send someone to quickly find the Rong guard." β
When the guards saw this situation, although they didn't understand what was happening, they didn't dare to delay, and ran away in response.
"Rong Guard, Rong Guard is here."
There was a wind under Rong Feng's feet, and he directly swept past the guards and came to Jiang Ruixuan. Kneeling on the ground with both knees bent, "Lord Wang, your subordinates should die." β
Jiang Ruixuan looked at Rong Feng, and the ominous premonition in his heart was confirmed, his neck was obviously red and swollen, and the clothes on his body were also a little messy, "What about the child?" β
"Damn it, my subordinates were attacked when I was walking, and when I woke up, the little prince was gone!" Rong Feng almost buried his head in his chest, "My subordinates have already searched for it, but there is no trace of the little prince." β
Jiang Ruixuan's face turned blue in an instant, and he raised a foot and put it on Rong Feng's chest, and scolded angrily: "Useless things, don't go find it quickly, you can't find this king and ask for your life." β
At this time, the guards also knew what was going on, and hurriedly scattered to look for it.
Seeing that the auspicious time has come, but the protagonist is still missing, everyone begins to whisper. The fourth prince has never bought the emperor's account, and no one said that he would appear when he was unhappy, but today he is the father of the protagonist, and he has seen him come in the morning.
"Concubine Mo!" Jiang Hong turned his head to look at Shen Momo.
Shen Momo's expression was still very calm, and he said softly: "Xuan'er promised that the concubine would come, presumably there must be something delayed, the emperor should wait." β
"Humph!" Su Xueyu snorted coldly, the disdain in his eyes was fully revealed, "I think the fourth prince is also doing the same, and the shelf is bigger than anyone else." β
For her obvious sarcasm, Shen Momo only ignored it. She has been fasting and reciting Buddha for many years, and some unnecessary occasions are even more likely not to go, the original intention is to minimize contact with Su Xueyu, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a shelf and does not take Su Xueyu in her eyes.
"Okay, when are you still talking about cool things?" Jiang Hong finished speaking in a low voice and looked at Gonggong Li who was standing aside. "Gonggong Li, send someone to urge again."
Gonggong Li has followed Jiang Hong for more than 40 years, and he has won the heart of a dragon, so he naturally has superhuman features, and when he heard Jiang Hong's question, he immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, the old slave has already sent someone out to look for it." β
Jiang Hong nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, this Gonggong Li can always think of things in front of him and do it in front, following him for more than 40 years, and now it is also the age of a person, if there is a comfortable person around him, it is time for him to enjoy his old age in peace.
At this time, a little eunuch ran in in a panic and walked around to Gonggong Li behind.
As soon as Gonggong Li saw the anxiety on his face, he understood that the matter had not been done, so he asked, "What did you do when you didn't find the fourth prince and came back?" Still looking for it? β
The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, buried his head in his chest, and said in a low voice: "No, Gonggong Li, it's not good, something big has happened." β
As soon as he heard this, the faces of several people next to him instantly became ugly, especially Jiang Hong, whose faces instantly turned blue, and shouted in a low voice: "What happened?" If it's exaggerated, see how you are punished. β
As soon as the little eunuch heard this, his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, and in an instant, the hall became silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the little eunuch's body, "Back to the emperor, the little prince is gone." The little eunuch said this almost in tears.
"What did you say?" Jiang Hong slapped the dragon chair with his big hand and stood up violently. Long Yan was furious, and everyone below knelt on the ground.
"Back to the emperor, the little prince is gone." The little eunuch repeated again, though in a very low voice,
"The emperor is angry." Everyone said in unison.
Jiang Hong only felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, almost making him unstable on his feet, the Hongtu Dynasty has been scarce since ancient times, he has two sons, and there are several princesses in the prince's mansion, but there is no prince, and finally got a prince, and such a knot is gone.
"Someone, send an order to seal off all palace gates and city gates, and conduct a thorough inventory." The majestic voice sounded in the main hall, Jiang Hong was the Ninety-Five Emperor after all, and he had the composure that an emperor should have.
In the living room, Jiang Hong, Su Xueyu, and Shen Momo sat in front, followed by Jiang Ruikun and Jiang Ruixuan, and Tang Lan in the back.
When the news came, everyone was furious, Jiang Hong's face was gloomy from beginning to end, which made people fearful, Shen Momo's eyes were red, Su Xueyu and Jiang Ruikun didn't dare to show it at this moment even if they were proud in their hearts, and Jiang Ruixuan was the same as Jiang Hong, his face was blue and gloomy, which made people afraid.
Tang Lan was no better, his face was gloomy, and he first opened his mouth to break the oppressive atmosphere of the scene, but it added fuel to the fire, "Your Majesty, the little prince is also half of my Nandu Kingdom, and now that he has just been born, such a thing happened in the palace, should your country give us an explanation?" Also, I came from afar, but I didn't even see the face of the imperial sister, and some time ago, your country also announced the news that the imperial sister was 'strange'. β
Tang Lan's displeasure and anger were clearly written on his face, as Tang Ruyan's mother's family, his behavior was really normal, and when he said the last sentence, he deliberately glanced at Jiang Ruixuan.
The atmosphere became even more tense because of Tang Lan's accusations.
Jiang Ruixuan's face was pale from beginning to end, and he didn't care at all about Tang Lan's accusatory gaze at him, and snorted coldly in his heart: Hmph, I am full of righteous indignation, I don't know that I really think that I really love my sister, if I hadn't caught Tang Ruyan's handle, I would have thought that she was a happy woman, but the fact is that she is just a chess piece, just a stepping stone for your Tang Lan's inflated ambition.
Using women to achieve great things? How can he be so reasonable? Hmph, what a joke.
Jiang Ruixuan's ignorance made Tang Lan's face gloomy, but after all, he was the king of a country, and he still had to have the measure he should have, so he turned to face Jiang Hong, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The emperor of the Hongtu Empire knows it to everyone, please give the emperor an order, let me and the imperial sister who came from afar meet, so as not to spread this matter and lose prestige in the hearts of the people of the world." β
made some rhetoric and praise, but it made it difficult for Jiang Hong to ride the tiger.
Tang Lan's request is not exaggerated, it is common sense for the princess who has always been close to her relatives to return to China to save her relatives, not to mention that people come from afar to see the royal sister? Butβhe also knows his son's temper, even if he gives an order, if he doesn't want to, he won't agree, won't the scene be even more embarrassing then?
Jiang Hong thought about it in his heart, this request to agree is not not to agree, nor to agree.
"Of course, the request of the king of Nandu is reasonable, and it is normal for people to see the princess. However, now the disappearance of the little prince is more important, and the princess has just given birth, and her body is still weak, so it is not too late to let her recuperate for a while and see her again, anyway, the king of Nandu will also stay here for a while, so let's deal with the matter of the little prince first, it is related to the dragon vein of our country, and it must not be rushed. β
After some remarks, without waiting for Tang Lan to reply, Jiang Hong immediately said to Gong Li next to him: "Gong Li, has the post house prepared for the king of Nandu been cleaned up?" The king of Nandu must be tired when he comes from afar, so let's go to the post house to rest first, the matter of the little prince is a family matter after all. β
Tang Lan's face was even more pale, Jiang Hong was clearly shirking, but now on other people's territory, it was not good to be too tough, so he agreed: "Thank you to the emperor first." I hope that your country will find my nephew as soon as possible. β
"That's inevitable." Jiang Hong said with a smile, a pair of deep eyes made people unpredictable, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment.
