Imperial Palace, Qiankun Palace.

Yan Qingyu and they have been gone for a few days, and Emperor Songde finally couldn't help but see Concubine Hua again, so he asked Gonggong Cheng to hurry up and invite.

Who knew that Father-in-law Cheng had been gone for a long time, and he came back alone.

"What about people?" Emperor Songde held back his anger, obviously on the verge of madness.

"Your Majesty," Gonggong Cheng knew Emperor Songde's temper, and quickly knelt down, and said tremblingly, "Guifei Niangniang...... The concubine is gone. ”

For a moment, Emperor Songde suspected that he had misheard, "What did you say?" ”

Father-in-law Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Your Majesty, the concubine is gone." ”

"What do you mean it's gone?" Angry to the extreme, Emperor Songde looked calm.

But Cheng's father-in-law clearly knew that this was the calm before the storm, and his whole body was lying on the ground, "Your Majesty, the old slave went to invite the concubine Niangniang, but the maids said that the concubine had been resting, and she was not feeling well these days, so I asked them to call it, only to find that the concubine Niangniang was not in the dormitory at all." ”

He paused, and seeing that Emperor Songde didn't speak, he continued to look for himself, "I asked the palace maids of the entire Yonghua Palace to look for it, but after looking around, I didn't find the concubine Niangniang." ”

"Can't find it?" Three words, Emperor Song De almost squeezed out from between his teeth, "How can such a big living person not be found?" ”

Gonggong Cheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately got up, "Yes, the old slave will let all the eunuchs and maids in the palace go to find it together, and they will definitely find the concubine Niangniang." ”

He glanced at Emperor Songde quickly, and then quickly turned around and went out.

"Master," after sending all the eunuchs out, Xiao Xiazi poured a cup of Ningshen tea for Cheng's father-in-law, "You drink some tea and take a rest." ”

Father-in-law Cheng sighed with a sad expression.

Xiao Xiazi asked cautiously, "Master, don't you think this is a strange thing?" Hua Guifei is a big living person, why is it gone? ”

Chenggong sighed again and again, but did not answer the apprentice's question.

Xiao Xiazi asked again, "Master, I've searched inside and out several times, but I haven't found anyone yet, Concubine Hua...... Nothing will happen, right? ”

"I don't care if something happens to her, and now your master and my head are gone." Father-in-law Cheng began to sigh again.

"Master, you have been with the emperor for so many years, no matter how unhappy he is, he can't do anything to you?" Xiao Xiazi pinched Cheng's father-in-law's shoulder, "Master, just put your heart in your stomach." ”

Chenggong didn't speak, Emperor Songde really wouldn't kill him, but Concubine Hua was gone, Emperor Songde was in a bad mood, so he didn't have a good life.

He could only take a few sips of tea and instructed Xiao Xiazi, "You hurry out of the palace and invite Taifu Ji, just say that Concubine Hua is gone, and the emperor is furious." ”

"Yes, Master, don't worry, I'll go." Xiao Xiazi is young, with sharp legs and feet, so he left quickly.

Father-in-law Cheng knew that these people couldn't find anything, so he sorted out his mood and hurriedly went to the Qiankun Hall to reply to Emperor Songde, otherwise the longer it dragged on, the more miserable his death would be.

"Found it?" Emperor Songde saw him and asked knowingly.

"I didn't ...... No. Chenggong trembled and said, "I'm still looking for it, please don't be impatient, your majesty." ”

Emperor Songde was still a little restless at this time, he was already uncomfortable, and now he can't find Hua Guifei, which means that he won't be able to see Hua Guifei in the future, and the uncontrollable discomfort in his body is becoming more and more rampant.

He swept all the things on the table on the ground at once, "Find Mrs. Ji, and immediately announce that Mrs. Ji will enter the palace." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave has already asked Xiao Xiazi to invite him, and he should be back soon." Chenggong trembled, he could feel the anger of Emperor Songde, and he felt terrible.

He kept kneeling, and Emperor Songde had no intention of telling him to get up.

Finally, about half an hour later, Xiao Xiazi came back with Ji Zhongli.

As soon as Xiao Xiazi entered the Qiankun Palace, he saw his master kneeling there, and he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, "Xiao Xiazi saw the emperor, and Mrs. Ji asked to see him outside." ”

"Don't let people in yet." Emperor Songde suppressed his anger and roared.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Xiazi got up with a roll, glanced at Cheng's father-in-law, and ran out, "Lord Ji, please come in." ”

Ji Zhongli bowed his head slightly and walked in unhurriedly.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiazi stepped forward a few steps forward and urged, "Hurry up, my lord, I'm afraid it will be ...... to delay my master any longer."

Cheng's father-in-law is old, and he doesn't know how long he has been kneeling, and something will definitely happen if he kneels like this.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zhongli really sped up his pace, and Xiao Xiazi was suddenly a little grateful.

Entering the Qiankun Palace, before Ji Zhongli could speak, Emperor Songde slapped the table suddenly, "Ji Zhongli, are you guilty?" ”

The frightened father-in-law and Xiao Xiazi are both agitated spirits, if Taifu Ji can't appease Emperor Songde, then something really will happen.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zhongli's face did not change, and he continued to walk towards Emperor Songde, "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Concubine Hua is gone, your body is unwell, this is medicine, you take it quickly, it will feel better." ”

Emperor Songde was originally a little angry when he saw that Ji Zhongli ignored his accountability, but when he saw that he took out the medicine, he immediately couldn't care about anything else.

He quickly took the jade bottle, poured out the medicine inside, and ate it all.

Ji Zhongli looked at Father-in-law Cheng and Xiao Xiazi, and immediately ordered, "What are you still kneeling here?" Hurry up and find someone, if you can't find Hua Guifei, none of you can escape. ”

"Yes, yes, the minion is going here and there." Xiao Xiazi knew that Ji Zhongli was relieving the siege, so he quickly got up, but saw that the master on the side seemed to be unable to move, and obviously knelt for a long time.

His eyes were red, and he hurriedly went to pull Chenggong up, and then left together.

Emperor Songde took the pill, and soon his physical discomfort decreased, and when he saw Chenggong and Xiao Xiazi leaving, he sneered and said, "You will be a good person." ”

"Your Majesty, Father-in-law Cheng is old and has been with you all his life, and you don't want anything to happen to him." Ji Zhongli said unhurriedly, "And the disappearance of Concubine Hua has nothing to do with him, if the emperor really wants him, he will not let them go just now." ”

Emperor Songde chuckled, and looked at Ji Zhongli with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, "Zhongli, there is no one else in this palace today, I want to have a good chat with you." ”

"Listen to me." Ji Zhongli said slowly.

"You sit." Emperor Songde said, "I remember that when the Ji family was beheaded by the whole family, you were only six or seven years old. ”

When he said this, he looked at Ji Zhongli with unblinking eyes, obviously trying to see something from Ji Zhongli's reaction.

For so many years, although he has reused Ji Zhongli, he has never really trusted Ji Zhongli, and he has been trying to use Ji Zhongli in every possible way, but he has found others to suppress his rights.

After all, no one will easily forget the hatred of having their family slaughtered.
