Chapter 36: The county lord is gone

A burst of sleepiness struck, and Gu Nuan couldn't help but slowly close his eyes.

Xiao Jingyi was exceptionally sober, listening to the sound of even breathing in his arms, and laughed.

……

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"County Lord, the Queen Mother invites you to come over and dine together."

The grandmother in the Empress Dowager's palace stood outside the door, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door.

A few days ago, the county lord obviously got up very early, why did he sleep lazily today, and he didn't answer when he called outside.

There was no answer in the door, and Mama was suspicious, so she slowly stepped forward, only to find that the door was not locked.

With a slight push, the door opened.

Mama entered the courtyard, and the courtyard was quiet and uninhabited.

Pushed open the house where the county lord lived, and on the bed, the quilt was neatly placed, and no one had slept with any traces.

The tea on the table, halfway drunk, had already cooled down.

Not good!

Mama was shocked, and hurriedly ran back to the Queen Mother's palace, she had been in this palace for many years, and she had never seen anything big or small, but after a glance, she already had a rough guess in her heart.

"Oh no, Queen Mother, the county lord is gone."

As soon as she entered the door, Mama didn't have time to catch her breath, and said breathlessly.

"Smack!" The Queen Mother was shocked, her hand shook, the teacup fell to the ground, turned a few times, and the tea splashed on the ground.

"What's wrong with Nuan Nuan! You make it clear to me! ”

The Queen Mother left her position with an anxious face.

"The slave maid just went to the county lord's yard, and I didn't see anyone, and there were traces of no one on the bed, and even the water in the teacup was cold."

"Go and get the guard at the door."

The Queen Mother held the table and coughed softly, if something happened to Nuan Nuan, how could she explain it!!

That Nuan Nuan has always been well-behaved on weekdays, and when she has nothing to do, she always comes to talk to her and relieve her boredom, why did she lose it!

"Queen Mother, people are here."

The man saluted slightly, stood below, his face was a little nervous, it was a big deal to lose the county lord, if he couldn't find it, he was afraid that he wouldn't want this head.

"I saw the county lord yesterday."

"Back to the Queen Mother, last night the county lord said that he went out to relax, and then he didn't see much people, it was the minister's dereliction of duty, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive the sins."

Looking at the trembling minions below, the Queen Mother flicked her sleeves and opened her mouth in a climatic manner.

"That's it, report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Early morning.

A touch of afterglow slowly rose, the sun shone faintly on the earth, and the morning birds stood on the branches and chirped.

Sunlight shines through the cracks in the branches and onto the ground.

When he opened his eyes, Gu Nuan woke up from Xiao Jingyi's arms, and his mind was a little dazed for a while.

Gu Nuan slowly opened his eyes, the light was a little dazzling, and he raised his hand to cover the curtain.

Holding one hand on the ground, he slowly straightened up.

His body was a little stiff and sore, Gu Nuan knocked on his neck, as if he was a little stiff.

Last night, mixed with the night, I didn't see the surrounding scene, but now I can see very clearly, a large desolate meadow, and a large tree that is not very dense.

There was a sound of small footsteps coming from outside the door.

Gu Nuan held her breath and stared closely at the grass outside the door.

"County Lord......"

Hush!

Seeing that it was the two of them in green clothes and the little waiter, Gu Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, then stretched out his hand to his mouth, and motioned to the two of them not to speak with his eyes.

The two of them realized and slowed down.

Xiao Jingyi was still taking a nap with his eyes closed, and the gauze on his right arm had been soaked with blood and condensed into a black-brown lump.

"The old lady has found it."

The two shook their heads, the old lady was running too fast, in this cold palace it was like walking on the ground, the two chased for a while, and then disappeared, not only the person was lost, but also hung on the body.

Okay, let her go, in this cold palace, it is not easy to live in the future, even if you look for death, it is not a good thing.

"Ahem......"

"Your Highness!"

Xiao Jingyi opened his eyes, coughed a few times, and the waiter looked worried and gently helped Xiao Jingyi up.

The surroundings were desolate and overgrown with weeds, and the location they were in now should be the side house of this cold palace.

The house not far away, surrounded by tattered wooden planks, crumbling windows, beams covered with cobwebs, and a few white silk sticks, looked particularly terrifying.

Gu Nuan also didn't see it clearly last night, if he saw it clearly, he definitely wouldn't sleep here, who knows if any unjust souls suddenly came back to ask for their lives.

Gu Nuan, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, was extremely sparing his life after it again.

If the door is locked, they won't be able to get out even if it's dawn, but it's better to stay where they are and wait for rescue.

Now that the time is counted, maybe the Queen Mother has found out that they are missing and is looking for them.

Gu Nuan was calculating, thinking about it, and didn't notice that they had ignored a very serious problem, the cold palace was uninhabited all year round, and now because of the haunting, the guards in the palace would not necessarily search for it.

But now there is no other way but to pin your hopes on God.

Several people's physical strength was almost exhausted last night, so Gu Nuan's spirit was slightly better, if he lost his physical strength because of pathfinding, the gain outweighed the loss.

"Father-in-law Su, don't present these trivial things in the future."

Xiao Min pinched his eyebrows, feeling a headache, these old foxes, competing to find him some trouble.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

The guards who reported were stopped by Su Weizhong.

"What a gut, I didn't see that His Majesty was angry."

The guard hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister really has something important to say." ”

Xiao Min put down the fold in his hand and waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, the county lord is gone!"

"What?"

Xiao Min slapped the table and left the chair, everyone was shocked, so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, Xiao Min squinted his eyes, if Gu Nuan was gone, how could Gu Mingyuan explain?

"A bunch of garbage, don't go find it soon."

"Yes."

The guards hurried away.

Xiao Min sat down on the chair with a butt, Su Weizhong saw this, hurriedly stepped forward, gently patted Xiao Min's back, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the county lord Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be safe." ”

Xiao Min rubbed his eyebrows, his heart was a mess, how could he not be worrying about it day by day.

"County Lord, we've been here for some time."

Green Yi tugged at Gu Nuan's sleeves, opened her mouth a little weakly, her stomach was empty and a little uncomfortable, I was afraid that if she stayed for a while, she would faint from hunger.

Gu Nuan was silent, at the current critical moment, he naturally couldn't mess up.

The Queen Mother clapped her hands and stomped her feet anxiously, Mama was a little distressed, and comforted: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has sent someone to find it." ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Nuan Nuan, the mourning family really likes it, but don't let anything happen." ”

Noon.

The group sat weakly under the eaves, and there was no sound except for the occasional sound of the wind.
