Chapter 281: Shadows

Yaoguo has no early dynasty for six consecutive days, this is the first time after the emperor ascended the throne in this generation, the courtiers are not strange, the emperor has been ill for a long time, and recently it is the prince Yi Chenjing dynasty, and now the prince is inexplicably grounded in the East Palace, and this early dynasty is naturally no one to take charge. [No pop-ups. As for why the crown prince and the general were suddenly ordered to be placed under house arrest, the reasons are still inconclusive, but the speculation is roughly the same.

Bai Qige, the princess of Zhaoguo, who was supposed to be the crown princess, checked her identity and was actually a substitute marriage, and she pretended to be a princess with noble blood, she was a woman who was born in a general but was accused of betraying the country, and was sent to the south to be a general of the Guangshu to test her loyalty and make meritorious contributions. Emperor Yao decisively ordered the revocation of his military position and escorted him back to the court, how could he not put the prince under house arrest who had fallen into infatuation, and he had to rush to Ziyun Palace to make a big fuss. So house arrest is house arrest, think about it is also within the understandable range, there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Because of the above thoughts, Da Yao's courtiers were so quiet that they were close to being abnormal, and no one seemed to have any suspicions about Bai Qige's fornication with the enemy army, and no one speculated whether there was another reason why Emperor Yao did not go to court.

The people who care about it are all outside the court.

The battle court has a guard token in hand, and it is more convenient to travel back and forth between the inside and outside of the palace, and he has to travel between the East Palace and the General's Mansion several times a day in the past few days.

"General Even, said that he contacted several old generals to ask to see the emperor, but they were all rejected on the grounds that the emperor was seriously ill and inconvenient, and so far no one has seen the emperor."

"In other words, it is unknown whether the holy decree was issued by the father or not, is it?" Yi Chenjing crossed his fingers on his forehead, and his voice was a little dull, "No matter what, I have to find a way to meet my father, I don't believe that my father would make that kind of decision, he obviously plans to let go of Qige's ......"

Seeing that Yi Chenjing began to be anxious again, Fu Chu shook his head: "After all, it's the emperor, how can it be so easy to see." Usually due to illness, he rarely receives civil and military officials, but now His Royal Highness and the even general are grounded, who else is qualified to see. After pondering for a moment, Fu Chu turned to the dazed battle court again: "Brother Zhan, did the general say who is the person who is waiting for the message by the emperor's side now, or the original ones?" ”

"I didn't say this, I shouldn't have said it." Zhan Ting scratched his head, ashamed of his clumsiness.

Fu Chu's question woke up Yi Chenjing, and in a moment, he stood up from the stool suddenly: "Yes, how did I forget about this." Zhan Ting, you go and inquire if the person who has served your father in the past few days is Gonggong Tao, if not......"

Then in the Purple Cloud Palace, it is very likely that something has changed.

Everyone else reacted to what Yi Chenjing meant, only Zhan Ting was still scratching his head stupidly, Yu Che was speechless, got up and pushed Zhan Ting, and there was a firm look on his delicate face that was similar to Bai Qige: "I'll go and inquire, Zhan Ting's mouth is stupid, either I don't know what to ask, or I just said that I leaked my mouth and was discovered." I remember that there was a little eunuch in the Purple Cloud Palace, who was from His Royal Highness. I'll go to him in the evening and come back with as much useful information as I can. ”

"It's good that you're much smarter, and you won't panic when something happens." Yi Chenjing took a deep breath and looked out of the clear and windless door that was approaching night.

If the person who gave the decree was not Emperor Yao, who else would it be? What exactly happened in the Purple Cloud Palace. The latest holy decree has been transmitted to the southern border, and if the truth is not unraveled as soon as possible, Bai Qige may face a difficult situation after being escorted back to the imperial capital. The five fingers were clenched into fists, and the cool breeze was still pervasive, Yi Chenjing suddenly realized that he was so powerless, and he couldn't control even the smallest things, so could he become a qualified prince and emperor. Can you fulfill your promise to protect Bai Qige for the rest of your life?

All the time, she was giving and sacrificing, but he couldn't do anything.

"Your Highness, there is a person we forgot, that person wants to enter and exit the Purple Cloud Palace very easily." The pensive Fu Chu suddenly spoke, and a look flashed in his eyes.

Yi Chenjing pulled back his thoughts, thought about it, and suddenly understood who Fu Chu was referring to, leaving all his worries and worries behind, and stood up neatly and walked to the door.

"I'm going to see the Queen."

In the imperial palace, many people were busy for Bai Qige, trying their best to prevent the unwanted results from coming, and the wheels of the carriage on the road to the imperial capital were rolling, and they could not stop approaching the imperial capital.

Thanks to the silver on the blade of the knife, Bai Qige was finally able to untie the shackles and sit in the carriage, and there was no need to sleep in the open like other prisoners along the road, restaurants, inns, but whenever there was a better place to stay, she would rather be drunk and never be stingy with spending, always teach her to eat and sleep well, and carefully take care of everything.

Nanxin County Shou is not stupid, although he agreed to Ning Xi's request to let Bai Qige live in the inn, he still sent many people outside the house to guard, after all, Bai Qige is the emperor's own criminal minister, in case of negligence is robbed, not to mention that he has a black veil on his head, and even his head can't keep his bones from falling to the ground.

"Don't abandon the fact that I have already entrusted someone to send a letter to the imperial capital, if there is any movement, we should prepare early, the white girl just needs to visit the scenery of various places with peace of mind, it is rare to be accompanied by so many people, this is a high-end treatment that ordinary concubines can't enjoy." In the simple inn, Ning Xi was drunk and laughed and joked.

"Ning Gongzi is born without worry, I am a prisoner now, and I can only enjoy the scenery of the prison when I return to the imperial capital." was ridiculed by him, Bai Qige also smiled.

Ning Xi drunk is the mortal enemy of Bai Qige's depressed mood, with him, Bai Qige can always relax his mood, no matter what situation he is in. In the first two days, the bitterness and worry were like shadows, so annoying that Bai Qige couldn't even sleep, it was Ning Xi who was drunk with a gentle smile and kept saying some interesting things to make her happy, and he was accompanied by a gentleman, living in the same room every night, wiping her wounds, fanning the cool breeze to sleep without any thoughts, just like when Bai Qige was injured and unconscious, he untied his clothes but only to check the injury, and he never even had a reverie.

"Even if I have a white girl, I won't know," Bai Qige thanked him, and what he got was this kind of joke.

In all fairness, with his drunken personality and excellent appearance, he always attracts many wild bees and butterflies everywhere he goes, but he will keep his distance quietly, but he is sincere and considerate to Bai Qige. Of course, Bai Qige would not think that he had ruined half of his ordinary appearance that attracted him to covet, the so-called gentleman's friendship, the so-called confidant, has nothing to do with interests, there is this kind of relationship between the two that others may not understand, even Yi Chenjing can't figure it out.

Confidante of red face, confidant of blue face, it is good to call anything, in short, it is the only person who unconditionally delivers trust.

Knock, there was a knock on the door outside, Ning Xi got up to open the door drunk, but when he opened the door, he was greeted by a knife and light.

"The county keeper has drunk too much? Is it trying to rob the poor people and find the wrong door? Ning Xi's drunken face remained unchanged, and he raised his fingertips to push away the blade blocking in front of him.

"Less, less nonsense, say, you didn't kill people. "Nanshin Junshou had a pale face, his voice trembling, and it sounded a little sharp.

Ning Xidrunk turned around and glanced at Bai Qige, both puzzled: "What kind of person to kill." Who happened to something. ”

Seeing that they looked completely unaware, Nanxin County Shou was suspicious, and wiped a cold sweat on his face: "I, some of the officers and soldiers I brought, one of them was killed, just behind the inn, in the backyard streets,"

"The officers and soldiers were killed, what are you looking for us to do? You also saw that there were so many officers and soldiers guarding outside, would they not know if we really killed them? Or does the county keeper think that we have some divine function and can put people to death without leaving home? Ning Xi shrugged drunk, and threw a small bag of broken silver into the county guard's arms, "Take it to drink tea to suppress the shock, by the way, ask someone to bring a pot, and the rest of the money The county guard will buy a few taels of pig's head meat to eat, so as to replenish his brain." ”

Ning Xidrunk didn't take these local officers and soldiers in his eyes at all, and the county guard, who bullied the weak and feared the hard, was quite jealous of this man who was generous and of unknown origin, and just now he rushed to question on impulse, and when Ning Xidrunk said this, he realized how ridiculous his suspicions were, and hurriedly apologized again and again with a smile. Impatiently sent away the county guard and the others, Ning Xi was drunk and closed the door and walked to the window, beckoning to the opposite restaurant.

"What's the matter?" In less than a moment, Su Buqi appeared in the room through the window.

Pointing to the door and signaling Su Buqi to speak in a low voice, Ning Xi was drunk and leaned on the side of the bed with his shoulders hugged: "The fat pig said that there were escort officers and soldiers in the streets and alleys behind him, and asked if we did it." ”

"It's not." Su Buqi shook his head decisively, with a little innocence in his eyes, "What do I do if I kill a lone officer and soldier, if I want to kill them, I will kill them all." ”

Bai Qige was dumbfounded for a while, crying or laughing, and feeling slightly confused. Su Bu gave up killing people for no reason, what was the point of killing them. The officers and soldiers of the border county town are not familiar with the people here, and they have only passed by this town for less than an hour, and they are also lacking a reason to say that they are the killers of the people in the town.

Ning Xidrunk patted Bai Qige on the shoulder, still with the same gentle expression: "Don't think about it, maybe it was a woman from a good family who was killed by a chivalrous and righteous person, Bai Girl, you also know that these officers and soldiers are not very honest in their hands and feet, and they owe a lot of lessons." Seeing that Bai Qige shook his head and seemed to be a little tired, he would rather be drunk and said, "I and I will not abandon it to buy some things for the road, you can rest first." ”

I couldn't help but pull Su Buqi out of the room, walked to the corner where no one was watching, and the smile on Ning Xi's drunken face disappeared, replaced by a hint of determination: "Don't give up, you go to the best inn in the town to find out if there are any particularly noteworthy people, I always feel that this matter is for the white girl." ”

"No need to check, I know who did it." Unexpectedly, Su Buqi's words were shocking, "Since the beginning of the journey, there have been people who have followed us from near and far, and the officers and soldiers who were killed were treated as the subordinates of that person before they were poisoned, you let me find out who it is, I also know, it is the fifth prince of Yaoguo, right." ”

Ning Xi's drunken blue eyes narrowed, and the corners of her lips swayed a helpless wry smile: "Hearing you say this, the murderer should not be ......?"

Su Buqi nodded and sighed silently.

"It's Jinyan, he chased Yi Chenxuan here."
