Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Mountain Rain is Coming, and the Wind Fills the Building
Liang Yue was startled, and the slight uneasiness in her heart just now was finally expanded. The Inner Palace Forbidden Army? How could these people leave the palace for no reason, there must be a reason. And the reason, apart from standing here, what else?
Duguchen glanced at Liang Yue, frowned, and said, "Were you discovered when you came out?" β
"Impossible." Liang Yue shook her head: "I came out after being disguised, who can know that it was me?" β
When she went out of the palace, she was with Princess He'an, and she had a skin mask on her face, which was not something that ordinary people could see through. Coupled with Xuanyuan Linglan under cover, who can find her?
"You go into the back room, I'll ask about the situation." Duguchen frowned and said, and then walked out with the housekeeper. Liang Yue nodded, entered a room at random, thought about it for a while, and still got on the beam.
Duguchen walked out of the mansion gate and saw Fu Ye, the commander of the forbidden army in the inner palace, standing at the door, followed by dozens of forbidden soldiers. Seeing that the person came out, Fu Ye stepped forward and said: "Lord Dugu, the lower official was ordered to arrest the palace maid who left the palace without permission, there is information that someone is coming here, and please cooperate with the work of the lower official, let us go in and search." β
Duguchen raised his eyebrows and smiled lazily: "This official drank in the backyard just right, but he didn't see any palace maids. Isn't it too much for Commander Fu to search the official's mansion without any basis in a word? β
This Fu Ye was brought out by General Situ, and he belonged to the category of die-hard characters, although he was still polite in his actions, but he was not tactful at all. This time, most of them were at the will of the queen.
"The palace maid escaped from the inner palace, which is a capital crime. The subordinate officials acted according to orders, and asked the adults to cooperate so as not to cause trouble. Fu Ye looked at Duguchen and said, "After the search, you can return your innocence." Otherwise, there will be remarks that adults secretly hide palace maids, which is a bad thing for adults and the emperor. β
Duguchen snorted lightly, and stood at the door for half a minute without any intention of letting go, so he only said in a hurry: "Although this official is used to wandering, he is also a third-grade silver Qingguanglu doctor from the Holy Lord." Dare to ask Commander Fu if he took the holy decree before he came to search the official's mansion? β
Fu Ye was stunned, and he didn't expect this Duguchen to be so difficult. It seems that there must be a cat in the mansion. It's just that this person is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is close to the emperor in Su Rili, and if he breaks through, it will not be good for him. But the master ordered that the palace maid who fled the palace must be arrested, or dragged to prevent the palace maid from sneaking back by herself, what can I do?
After thinking about it, Fu Ye waved his hand to the people behind him and said, "You guys, fence this place, lest the palace maid escape again in case she is inside." Take someone back to the palace to ask for a decree, and explain the situation to the queen mother by the way. β
"Yes." The forbidden army behind him responded, some people ran in the direction of the palace, and the others scattered in all directions, surrounding Dugu Mansion, and it was impossible for anyone to escape unnoticed.
Duguchen's face sank, and he stood at the door and confronted Fu Ye without saying a word. The surrounding forbidden troops also kept an eye on all corners of Dugu Mansion, even the birds.
Now it's in trouble.
Duguchen glanced at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper understood, and silently retreated to the house.
"Girl."
Liang Yue was frowning and listening to the movement outside, and she heard the old housekeeper calling her in the courtyard. After thinking about it, he casually pulled over a piece of Duguchen's clothes in the house, put it on, and walked out.
"What's going on?" Liang Yue asked as she scattered her hair and tied it into the man's hairstyle that she was used to combing.
"The forbidden army outside said that they came to arrest the palace maid who fled the palace, but the lord stopped her. Someone entered the palace to ask for a decree, saying that he wanted to search the house. Thisβ" said the old butler with some anxiety.
Dugu Mansion is not too big, because of the temperament of adults, all places are simple, and no one can be hidden at all. If those people really want to come in and search, this girl will definitely not be able to hide.
Liang Yue frowned and looked at the courtyard walls around her, and said, "Is there anyone outside besieging the mansion?" β
The housekeeper nodded: "It's surrounded on all sides, and flies can't fly out." β
What a tough approach, does this have to kill her? Liang Yue thought expressionlessly, it is estimated that the palace is not calm now.
In the palace, the queen mother walked out of Kunning Palace, took a sedan chair, and went to Fuze Palace. Situ Ning's beautiful face had a lazy and somewhat happy look, and Man Sheng instructed Bi Ye beside him: "You guys are fast, go to Fuze Palace first and tell Concubine Sun, this palace wants to go over to see them, and let them all come to the door to greet them." β
"Yes." Biye smiled lightly, took someone and ran to Fuze Palace.
Today's commotion must be too exciting, and I don't know why Mo Zhaoyi couldn't think of going outside the palace, and was discovered by Niangniang's people. It's good now, it was revealed that the concubine left the palace without permission, not to mention the southern tour, whether her life can be saved or not is another story!
The people of the whole Fuze Palace have to go to the gate of the palace to greet them, so don't the people who are not there know it at a glance?
When Concubine Sun heard this, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "This is fun, is the one in the side hall here?" β
The little palace maid beside her replied: "I haven't come back today, only those two girls are guarding in the side hall." β
"Giggles, let's go, let's go out and have a look." Concubine Sun was in a good mood and stood up with the maid's hand and walked outside.
Picking the stars and the moon listened to the words, and was shocked at the moment. When the little lord was away, why did the queen mother come over? How good is it to have to meet them all?
"Picking stars, have you seen the emperor? Did you tell him that the little master was out of the palace? Lanyue pulled the sleeve of the star and asked in a low voice.
Picking the stars was so anxious that he was about to cry: "How can I have a chance to see the emperor today, after the imperial study comes out, the emperor doesn't know where to go, and he can't see it if he wants to, let alone pass the word." How good is that? β
The emperor doesn't know the reason why the little lord left the palace, and now the queen mother is coming over again, won't the little master's situation be difficult at that time? It would be fine if the queen mother just came to sit down, but if she came prepared, then...
"They all went out to greet the queen, what are you doing in a daze?" The maid of the main hall called out to them.
"Yes." After picking the stars and catching the moon, there is no other way, so just go out and kneel to welcome the queen.
Feng drove slowly, the queen looked at the concubine at the door, and the empty position next to Mo Zhaoyi that belonged to Mo Zhaoyi's kneeling, smiled slightly, and said: "Concubine Sun, get up quickly, this palace has never come to this Fuze Palace, and I came to see it today." β
"Thank you for your care." Concubine Sun smiled brightly, Yingying got up, and was in a very good mood.
"Where's Mo Zhaoyi?" The queen stepped down from the sedan chair and looked at the two palace maids in the side hall and asked.
Picking the star lowered his head, his hand clutching the handkerchief tightly, not knowing what to say. However, Lan Yue next to him hesitated and said: "My little master said that he went to send Princess He'an out of the palace, and now he may be in other places in the palace, and he hasn't come back yet." β
"Oh?" The queen smiled lightly, approached them, and slowly looked at their clenched hands: "Then let people look for it, this palace made a special trip to talk to Mo Zhaoyi and Sun Concubine." Come on, take the two girls and find their master. β
"Yes." A few little eunuchs behind him responded, and stepped forward to stand next to the stars and moons.
Picking the stars and the moon saluted the queen, turned around stiffly, and walked slowly towards the palace road.
"Tsk, what a poor palace maid." Concubine Sun said in a low voice, and said to the maid beside her: "Don't blame your master, I treated you poorly. At least, Hongu didn't do such foolish things. β
When Situ Ning heard this, he turned to look at Concubine Sun and said, "Concubine Sun is an understanding person, let's go, let's go in and talk for a while, and wait for this Mo Zhaoyi to come back." β
Concubine Sun responded with a smile, shook her head slightly, and said, "I'm afraid, I can't come back." β
β¦
"Let's go faster." The little eunuch behind him impatiently urged Xingxing and Lanyue: "Who can you find if you go so slowly?" Could it be that you are deliberately delaying time? β
The tears of the star were rolling in her eyes, Lan Yue hurriedly grabbed her hand, and said to the two fathers behind her with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't worry, people, you always have to look for it slowly." β
Knowing that the little lord is not in the palace, how can they find it, what they can do at present is to drag out the time, where is the best place to meet the saint, hoping that the saint can save the savior.
However, the emperor seems to have lost his whereabouts and doesn't know where to go.
What to do?
Dugu Mansion.
Fu Ye stood at the door and looked at Duguchen quietly, and the person who ran back to the palace to ask for a decree hurriedly ran back, leaning into his ear and whispering: "My lord, I can't find the emperor, what should I do if I can't ask for a decree?" β
Fu Ye frowned, pushed the man away at will, and said aloud to Dugu Chen: "Your Majesty, we can search Dugu Mansion, and please don't disobey the holy decree." β
"Oracle?" Duguchen almost didn't stand still, and laughed out loud: "Commander Fu, are you joking with me?" Does a mere oracle of unknown origin call it a holy decree? β
"Bold!" Fu Ye shouted angrily, and said with a righteous attitude: "The emperor's will Duguchen, you don't pay attention to it, this is a crime!" β
Duguchen raised his eyebrows, suddenly calmed down, looked at Fu Ye in front of him and asked word by word: "Commander Fu, are you sure this is the emperor's personal message?" β
"Of course." Fu Ye said in a deep voice: "The lower officials don't dare to fake the holy decree!" β
"Hmm." Duguchen nodded: "If it is a false holy decree, what should be the crime?" Commander Fu should know, right? β
Fu Ye snorted coldly.
He was sent by the queen mother, and no one knows the status of the queen mother in the heart of the saint, even if a false oracle is transmitted, what is it? went in and caught the palace maid, this Dugu Chen is a joint crime, who cares about his false decree?
"The lower officials know that if they falsely pass on the holy decree, their crimes should be punished!"
This voice was loud, and it was rare that it was still righteous, and Duguchen almost applauded when he heard it. You can say that again!
"If you know that your sin deserves to be punished, why do you commit it?" A voice sounded silently from behind Fu Ye. Everyone was shocked and quickly turned to look behind them.
"Minister..."Fu Ye turned around, his face turned pale, he looked at the Yijia who was slowly approaching, his legs weakened, and he knelt down.
