Chapter 13 Something Strange
I nodded, and then asked, "Did Velo send someone to bring you here?" β
"This ...... I came by myself...... I wanted to go to find Brother Xiao, but I haven't heard from him all the time, so I thought of what your father said to Xiao Ran's parents before, he said that if he couldn't find it, he could come to Su Che, I think he might know something, so he came to Longcheng. Ni Meng snapped his fingers and said softly.
"It was Su Che who sent you to the palace?" I asked suspiciously, tapping my finger lightly on the edge of the table.
Ni Meng nodded, took out an emerald green jade flute from his bosom and handed it to me, "The king didn't have time to see me in Huichun Palace, so he asked the inner supervisor to bring me over." β
"This is my mother's flute?" I took the flute and was stunned, a little unclear why, I don't know how to play the flute, what did my mother give me this for?
Ni Meng responded: "Well, your mother said that this will be useful in the future, so let you keep it well." β
Will it be useful? Although I still had doubts, I still carefully put away the flute. What my mother said has her own reason, so I better not think about it so much.
"Since you are here to find Xiao Ran, why don't we go together! I'm bored and tight in the palace alone. β
Ni Meng was delighted when she heard this: "Really? It's just that the king will agree to you go with me? β
This one...... Will Willow let me go out alone with Mud Moe? For a while, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, according to Vero's character, I shouldn't be more disciplined, but if the Queen Mother knew about this, I was afraid that it would be difficult for Vero.
When Willow returned to the Jingxuan Palace, I was already asleep at the table, and when he picked me up, I opened my sleepy eyes and said, "You're back, I have something to discuss with you." β
"Let's sleep first, I'll talk about it tomorrow, you're so sleepy that you can't open your eyes." Willow gently put me on the bed, gently helped me remove my shoes and socks, and whispered in my ear.
"But......" But Willow's arms were so warm, and I tried to open them, but eventually I fell asleep.
The next morning, Ni Meng woke me up without knowing how to be polite, and when I looked at the empty half of the bed, I guessed that Willow got up early in the morning, I shook off her hand and said in a somewhat unhappy voice: "Let me sleep a little longer!" β
"Sister Tassel, did you ask about yesterday's incident, I haven't slept all night!" Mud continued to shake my arm, muttering discontentedly.
"Ahh By the way, I forgot about it. I patted my groggy head and sat up slowly. It seems that he still has to go to Wei Luo to talk about it, and this matter still needs Su Che's help, if Wei Luo can give an order for Su Che to help find it secretly, it would be better.
Let Ni Meng get hot water, wash up briefly and take her to the Qiushi Palace to find Vero, only to go to the Qiushi Hall to ask the inner supervisor to learn that Vero is not in the palace at all.
"What now?" Mue Meng sighed, held her chin with her hands and asked.
I was silent for a while, thinking that if I went to find Su Che alone, he should also help me, first go to the Prince's Mansion to investigate, and if there is no progress, I will go back and ask for Willow's permission to go out and look for it.
After making up my mind, I walked out of the palace gate with Ni Meng and went straight to Su Che's Prince's Mansion.
On the long street in the west of the city, a magnificent mansion is located here, and Ni Meng and I let the guards at the door enter and wait patiently outside the door.
After about half a pillar of incense, Su Che hurriedly came out of the palace, "Niangniang is here, and Weichen is far away." β
I waved my hand at him, signaling him to keep a low profile, and then I went to the antechamber of the palace with Ni Meng under his guidance.
Sitting down on the armchair, a maid brought tea, I glanced around left and right, and Su Che understood my intentions and asked the maid and the family to retreat.
"I don't know what happened to Concubine Zhao here?" Su Che stood respectfully on the side and asked suspiciously.
I waved back at him and motioned for him to sit down, then turned my head to look at Ni Meng who was standing behind me, and said to Su Che in a slow tone, "We wanted to ask you about Xiao Ran's whereabouts. β
Su Che glanced at us with a strange expression, and then his eyes flashed: "How can I know his whereabouts, we are the Snow Mountain Jedi who left together!" β
"You must know, we really want to know Xiao Ran's whereabouts, even if you don't help us find him out, we can tell us his location, okay?" I said in a slightly pleading tone.
Su Che shook his head firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang should go back to the palace, it may not be a good thing to know some things, and now everyone is safe and sound." β
"What do you mean by that?" I turned the cup in my hand and looked at Su Che fixedly.
He stood up and gestured to leave, but Ni Meng couldn't hold back and raised his hand to block his way.
There must be something strange about this matter, if Xiao Ran simply left, how could Su Che be so flickering?
"Did Xiao Ran have an accident?" After being suppressed for a long time, I asked loudly at Su Che's back who wanted to leave forcibly.
Su Che's footsteps paused, but Zuihou still pushed away Ni Meng's hand and walked out, leaving only a faint word: "Go back!" β
Knowing that there would be no progress in staying here, I returned to the palace with Mumeng. As soon as I entered the palace gate, the inner eunuch came to report, saying that the king was looking for me everywhere!
When he returned to Yeyang Palace, Wei Luo was sitting in the hexagonal pavilion in the palace, and after he saw me and Ni Meng walking slowly, he stood up a little anxiously: "Why don't you tell me when you go out?" β
"Aren't you in the palace in the morning, I went to the prince's mansion with Nimeng......"
"What are you going to do there?" Willow's face tightened, and he gripped my wrist hard.
I don't know why he suddenly became agitated, and I wanted to retract my hand, but he added a little more strength.
"Back to the king, we went to find out the whereabouts of Brother Xiao, but Prince Su knew it but refused to tell us." Mud Meng kindly replied for me.
Wei Luo Deli let go of his hand, looked directly at me, and said with some anger: "You stay in the palace obediently, and you are not allowed to go to Xiao Ran!" β
βweishenmeοΌβ I don't understand whether Wei Luo's attitude is because of Weishenme, according to what I know about him, he won't be angry at me for no reason, could it be that he also knows Xiao Ran's whereabouts?
"Xiao Ran doesn't want to see you, don't look for him anymore, don't look for him again in the future." Willow interrupted me and raised his hand to his forehead, looking pained.
"What happened to Xiao Ran? What did you guys do to him? I shook off his hand and took a few quick steps back. Is this person in front of you still my father-in-law Willow? What kind of secret did he and Su Che hide from me?
