Chapter 442: Face Under the Veil
Chapter 442: Face Under the Veil
"His Royal Highness King Yan, lunch is here." A father-in-law stood outside the door of the house and knocked on the door, and after hearing Chu Ruo's response inside, he pushed open the door and walked in.
The father-in-law put lunch on the table in the room and retired, Chu Ruoyan suddenly felt a little hungry in his stomach, and came to the table and devoured it.
Just as he was stuffing the last bite of food into it, an uninvited guest came to the door, and this uninvited guest was none other than Chu Zhuangyan, the emperor of the dynasty.
"How? Have you thought about it? Do you want to go to Izumo Province to be a colt? ”
"Erchen has thought about it from the beginning, and he will definitely not go to Izumo Country, don't ask again, no matter how many times you ask in the future, Erchen will answer like this."
Chu Zhuangyan never expected that Chu Ruoyan would still say this sentence a few days after he was locked up.
He didn't expect Chu Ruoyao to be so stubborn, and he didn't develop in the direction he wanted in his heart at all.
But this opportunity is something he must not miss, if he can pocket Izumo Kingdom without spending a single soldier, it will be a very good result for Mingyue Kingdom, and the key to this matter is Chu Ruoyi.
Chu Zhuangyan always felt that there must be some reason behind Chu Ruoyan's firm opposition, and it seemed that it was time for the secret guard to investigate.
"If you don't agree, then stay here and stay, I won't let you out." Chu Zhuangyan gave Chu Ruoyan a cold look and turned to leave.
Chu Ruoyan had already guessed what Chu Zhuangyan would do, and if he was so resolutely opposed, Chu Zhuangyan would definitely try his best to inquire about the situation around him, so that Li Luobing's affairs in the capital would likely be exposed in front of Chu Zhuangyan.
Although Li Luobing's matter will happen sooner or later when Chu Zhuangyan finds out, now is definitely not the best time, if Chu Zhuangyan learns that Li Luobing has lost his memory, he is likely to use Li Luobing to do something to himself.
At this time, Li Luobing was completely unfirm in his heart, and Chu Zhuangyan's goal could be easily achieved. But now that he is under house arrest in the palace, the news cannot be spread at all, so he can only resign himself to fate.
After Chu Zhuangyan left here, he summoned the secret guard to his side: "Go, inquire about what happened to King Yan during this time?" Be sure to ask who he has met and what he has done, and there must be no omission. ”
"Yes." The guard replied, and immediately left the palace.
Although they didn't understand why the emperor wanted to investigate King Yan like this, judging from the emperor's expression, this matter was not trivial. If any detail is missing, then they have committed a great sin.
These guards first came to Dali Temple to investigate Chu Ruoyi's whereabouts, from the day Chu Ruoya left Dali Temple, until he returned to Dali Temple from the villa, the entire process during this period was mastered by them.
Except for some details that Chu Ruobing deliberately concealed, they all knew what happened during the period, and because Chu Ruoyan did not deliberately conceal most of the things, even Li Luobing's matter was known to them, and they were very surprised when they learned that there was a woman so close to King Yan.
The matter of Princess Yan was known to the entire government and the opposition, and now it was suddenly said that a girl surnamed Shen had appeared next to King Yan, and King Yan seemed to have a deep affection for her, which had to make people suspicious.
After they secretly investigated, Shun Teng found the house where Li Luobing was, and wanted to take advantage of the night to go in to investigate, but found that the house was heavily guarded, and if he went in rashly, he would definitely be discovered.
In desperation, they could only temporarily stop and return to the palace to tell Chu Zhuangyan about these things.
"Are you saying that a girl surnamed Shen appeared next to King Yan?" Chu Zhuangyan was also a little incredulous when he first heard the news, before Chu Ruoyan was very affectionate to Princess Yan, and when she disappeared, the whole person was decadent, and now she is suddenly so good to another girl, there must be something hidden in this.
"Have you seen Miss Shen over there?"
The guard shook his head a little ashamedly: "The emperor forgives me, I found the mansion, but the surrounding defense is too tight, we can't enter at all, so we didn't find out what she looks like." ”
After listening to the words of the secret guard, Chu Zhuangyan did not get angry, but captured a detail from it, that is, the surrounding defense of this house is very tight, and it seems that this person is very important to Chu Ruoyan.
"You go and keep an eye around the house again, and report to me as soon as you find any trace of that girl." Chu Zhuangyan believed that as long as he stayed in that vicinity, the people in the house would come out one day.
At the same time, Li Luobing in the house felt very heavy. During this time, the people around her were trying around to persuade her to enter the palace to save Chu Ruoyao.
If you go to save it yourself, you don't feel that it will make much difference, but if you don't go, listening to the people around you talk about what happened before her and Chu Ruoyao, I feel that my conscience will be condemned.
When people in the world were trying to persuade Li Luobing around the corner, Qiaosu realized her embarrassment.
"Okay, let's not talk about it now, you haven't been in the capital for long, why don't you go out and relax? You might be able to remember the past. ”
Remembering a memory? Li Luobing raised her head, she now fully believes that what those people said is true, and she also believes that she was really Princess Yan before, but although it is true, these things are too illusory for her now, so she can't grasp it, and she doesn't have a sense of security in her heart.
"Then let's go out and have a look!" Li Luobing nodded and was about to get up and leave, but Guo Dong was a little reluctant.
"Princess, at this time, His Royal Highness is still under house arrest in the palace, if you go out, you may be targeted by someone with a heart, in case you suffer danger......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Zhen next to him, Yang Zhen gave him a look, and then turned to look at Li Luobing.
"Don't worry, princess, you can go wherever you want, and we will protect you in secret."
Now that Li Luobing has lost her memory, naturally she can't be treated in the same way as before, all they can do is to obey Li Luobing's orders, protect her, and wait for His Highness to come out of the palace.
Qiao Su and Li Luobing cleaned up a little and walked out of the house, but because Li Luobing had amnesia, in order to prevent the people from watching, Qiao Su specially prepared a veil to surround Li Luobing's face.
After taking all the protective measures, Li Luobing finally settled down, and she walked leisurely around the capital with Qiaosu, but the two of them didn't know that every move at this moment was all watched by the guards guarding outside.
"I can't see clearly with the veil, wait until I get closer."
One of the guards wanted to step forward when he saw Li Luobing go out, but before he could move, he was stopped by his companion.
"Wait, there are several strong guards around her, and we will definitely be found if we go over."
"But if you don't go over, how can you be sure that she is the princess Yan who disappeared before? If you can't be sure, how can you explain to the emperor? ”
After a little discussion, the two left the place where they had been watched, and they found a secluded alley, changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and then blended into the crowd.
The secret guards around her mainly watched to see if anyone was attacking her, and if they were just pretending to be ordinary people passing by, they would definitely not be recognized.
"We'll pass by her in a while, left and right, you look for an opportunity to knock her down, and when she falls, even if the veil doesn't fall, she will definitely show her face under the veil."
"Okay, that's it."
After the two of them discussed, they walked towards Li Luobing from afar, at this time Li Luobing didn't know that the danger was approaching, she sighed at the prosperity of the capital while walking, when she came here before, she just took a few quick glances and went to Dali Temple, and she had never been so relaxed as today.
Qiao Su took Li Luobing around and walked to a ready-to-wear store, the master and servant picked out the clothes, which made the two guards who were originally walking towards them pause, they just wanted to act directly, but they didn't expect these two people to enter the ready-to-wear store, it seems that their plan is going to be postponed.
They found a teahouse on the side of the road and sat down, seemingly drinking tea, but their eyes kept glued to the door of the ready-to-wear store, without the slightest relaxation.
When Li Luobing and Qiao Su came out of the house, the two of them also stood up and wanted to walk over there, but an unexpected scene happened to them.
A group of children playing on the street accidentally bumped into Li Luobing during the fight, Li Luobing didn't stand firmly, and almost fell to the ground, and Qiao Su next to her quickly helped her.
"Is the girl alright?" Qiao Su had palpitations, if this fall caused Li Luobing's veil to fall, it would cause a lot of commotion.
"It's okay, don't worry." Li Luobing shook her head, signaling that Qiao Su didn't care about what happened just now, she touched her veil and it was quite firm, and left here with Qiao Su.
"Let's see if this happened unintentionally or if someone did something in secret." Yang Zhen and Yang Ning instructed several secret guards that they had to find out even if there was only one possibility.
But it turned out that they were overly worried, and when the investigators came back, they told them that it was just an accident.
"Look, I'll just say you're thinking too much!" Yang Ning patted Yang Zhen's shoulder proudly and said.
"You know what? This is called rather believing what it has than believing it not, let's go, the princess is leaving. Then the group disappeared into the street.
Although the two guards didn't personally implement the plan just now, this small accident also allowed them to achieve their goal, and at the moment when Li Luobing almost fell, they saw the face under the veil, exactly the same as Princess Yan, who was rumored to be missing or even dead before.
