Yuguo, Lingquan Tavern.

In the lively hall, the charming proprietress was greeting guests, and an old man in the corner caught her attention and greeted her with a smile.

"Surnamed Xia, you haven't been to my tavern for a long time. A proprietress in her early forties laughed loudly, "It's been a few years now, why did you want to come to me to sit here?"

"Since it's an old man, I naturally want to come and see you. An old man with a gray beard raised his eyes and said with a slight look of life, "The older I get, the fewer friends I have in the past, and I don't know if I will never see each other again that day!

"The surname Xia, what are you talking about early in the morning! If you die, I won't die!" The proprietress said fiercely, "By the way, you have been clamoring for all these years to find someone to inherit your mantle, have you found it?"

"Don't mention it, I'm upset when I talk about it!" the old man waved his hand and drank a big bowl of wine in frustration, "My grandson is a good seedling, how do you know that he was abducted by Emperor Laozi." His vision is good, he found a daughter-in-law, she is a good girl with good bones, I just happily gave her the token, and the girl disappeared in a few days, and her life and death are unknown. The poor little couple has only been married for a few days, and my grandson is only afraid that he will wash his face with tears every day!"

"And this kind of thing!" the proprietress raised her eyebrows in surprise, "It's really jealous of a lover! This thief is not good, and he has to do something to stop with! You drink a few more glasses, you must not be happy in your heart." ”

"Naturally, this wine is to be drunk. The old man said, "You are doing business with the door open, don't just care about me, I'm afraid I won't pay for wine!"

"I remembered something, but it's quite strange!" The proprietress rolled her eyes and said, "The surname is Xia, show me the jade pendant you carry?"

"What?" the old man asked strangely, "The jade pendant has already been given to my granddaughter-in-law as a gift!"

"These days, someone is inquiring about a piece of jade pendant, I also glanced at the drawing paper that day, the jade pendant is a 'summer' word in the middle, I think it is very similar to the piece that you do not leave the body, I left a little more eye and looked at it carefully, I think it is sure that it is your piece! But how can anyone inquire about the whereabouts of this jade pendant?"

"Who is inquiring about the jade pendant?" the old man's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice.

"It seems to be someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, leave this matter to me, I promise to help you find the person who inquired about Yu Pei, I have been here for so many years, and I still have these skills!"

"Thank you!"

The twilight is rising, and the moonlight is as cool as water.

Qi Yingying leaned against the window, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and sighed softly, the wedding date with His Majesty is approaching, it is obviously a happy thing, why can't she be happy?

She has seen His Majesty in too many ways, and when he was a prince, he was frivolous, immodest, arrogant, domineering, and smart...... As an emperor, he was majestic, deep, calm, and sometimes somewhat terrifying.

But she has seen him in too many ways, but she never knows which side is his true appearance, that day in the summer palace, she saw the other side of him, relaxed, free, lively, this seems to be his original appearance, but these gentleness and truth, he seems to only show in front of Xia Xue.

She gave him everything she could, but she didn't know what he wanted, she didn't know what else she could give him, how she could get into his heart, and not just stand by his side.

She noticed someone approaching behind her, hurriedly looked back, and shouted, "What person!"

Seeing a man in black approaching quickly, and then covering her mouth and nose with a white handkerchief, Qi Yingying struggled for a moment, and then fainted. The man in black immediately picked her up, climbed through the window, and ran outside.

The man in black was very familiar with the environment of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he carried Qi Yingying over the courtyard wall, and there was a carriage in the alley outside, he immediately stuffed the woman on his body into the carriage, and then drove away.

Qi Yingying woke up after the carriage had walked for a while, her hands and feet were helped, and she couldn't scream with strips of cloth stuffed in her mouth.

She was so anxious, she didn't know who had the courage to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion to rob people, and she was the future queen!

Could it be her?

In the entire Yu country, I am afraid that she is the only one who has the motive and courage!

What did she want to do? Will she kill herself? Will her father know about her abduction? Does His Majesty know? Will they come back to save themselves?

Countless thoughts poured into Qi Yingying's mind, and she felt extremely scared, but she had to calm herself down.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then the sound of fighting came from outside, could it be that someone came to save him?

Qi Yingying was overjoyed, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a strange old man entered.

Qi Yingying shrank back in fear, the old man reached out and took out the rag from her mouth, she immediately shouted: "Bold, do you know who I am?"

The old man did not answer her words, but took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was painted a piece of jade pendant, and then in the moonlight, Qi Yingying saw the appearance of the jade pendant clearly, and was slightly stunned.

"Are you inquiring about this piece of jade pendant?" the old man asked.

The old man's gaze was a little gloomy, Qi Yingying was frightened in her heart, and replied calmly: "So what?"

"Why do you want to inquire about this jade pendant?" the old man asked.

"Trusted. ”

"Whom?" asked the old man.

Qi Yingying wanted to tell the old man about Xia Xue's time, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again, she remembered that Xia Xue was injured before, could this person be her enemy?

"What do you have to do with you?" Qi Yingying said, "You'd better let me go, I'm the future queen, if I have three longs and two shorts, I will definitely want you to cut down the nine clans!"

"It's a girl, isn't it?" the old man put away the paper, "eighteen or nineteen years old, still cold." Where's that girl?"

Qi Yingying was stunned again, was he really Xia Xue's enemy? She bit her lip and tilted her head to the side.

"What's wrong with that girl, why do you ask you to inquire about this jade pendant?" the old man continued, "I'm not a bad person, that girl may be my granddaughter-in-law, the girl's whereabouts are unknown, and my grandson is about to die of sadness!"

"Is she married?" Qi Yingying's face was overjoyed, and then she looked at the old man vigilantly, "But how can I believe your words? You were injured by someone before and lost your memory, how do I know that the person who injured her is not you?"

"This jade pendant was given to her by me, it is a token of the master of the Tang Sect, I am the current master of the Tang Sect, and I haven't taken her to the Tang Sect to officially pass on the position of the master of the sect to him, and she has an accident!" The old man sighed, "Since you are willing to protect her, you treat her as a friend, it seems that I didn't save the wrong person today, old man!"

As he spoke, with a wave of his finger, the rope on Qi Yingying's body was loosened, she hurriedly got out of the car, and the black-clothed man who kidnapped her was unconscious under a tree outside the carriage, she immediately stepped forward and pulled down the mask of the black-clothed man, it turned out to be a nurse of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no wonder she was able to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion and kidnap her unconsciously, it turned out that it was a mouse that entered the rice tank!

Qi Yingying immediately took the holy decree in the carriage, tied up the man in black, and then said to the old man: "I trust my intuition, you are not a bad person, I will enter the palace tomorrow, I will introduce you to Your Majesty, and then let you meet her to see if she is your granddaughter-in-law!"

"She's in the palace?"

"Yes, she is in the palace, and the palace is full of masters. Qi Yingying said, "If you lie to me, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the palace!"

The old man laughed: "I'm afraid that there is no place in the world that can trap me, and I will enter the palace with you tomorrow!"

Qi Yingying drove the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly, she was not very scared in her heart, she knew that the old man surnamed Xia would definitely protect herself secretly, and immediately after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she asked people to arrest the man in black back, and then went to see her father.

"Miss Xiangfu, the future palace, you are missing, these wastes are unaware of it!"

"Father, don't be angry, don't be angry! This is an internal thief, it can be said that it is impossible to prevent it!" Qi Yingying said, "We must interrogate who the internal thief is instructed by! I am thinking, they still can't help but do it after all, how can they watch her watch this rear position taken away by me?"

"Yingying, don't be afraid, my father will do his best to protect you. Prime Minister Qi said, "I will enter the palace tomorrow to tell Your Majesty about this matter, and I can't tolerate them too much, otherwise they will only gain an inch! Also, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion have to be strengthened, and before you get married, you can't make any mistakes, this time it can be regarded as God's blessing!"

"I met a nobleman. Qi Yingying thought of Xia Xue, if she hadn't had a good chat with her and helped her inquire about Yu Pei, she wouldn't have attracted the old man to rescue her tonight. Xia Xue is not her enemy, and her judgment from the beginning is correct.

She is actually a person with a husband, presumably His Majesty also knows about this, but why didn't he tell her? Why didn't he notify his husband to come looking for someone? His Majesty kept saying that he wanted to help Xia Xue recover his memory, but why was he unwilling to tell her the truth? What was His Majesty thinking in his heart?
