Chapter 43: Secretly Obstructing
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asks to see you."
Today is the day Xiao Jingheng was sent to Qingquan Temple.
Xiao Min's expression changed, he threw down the fold in his hand, and slowly spit out the two words.
"Nope."
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is tired, you can go back!"
The queen was unwilling and couldn't bear to leave, ignoring the guards' obstruction, her hands slapped the door frame vigorously, and she kept shouting Your Majesty.
There was a lot of movement outside the door, and Xiao Min frowned, a little headache.
"Where are you? Are there any rules? ”
The door slowly opened, Xiao Min stood in front of her expressionlessly, and the queen was happy,
"Your Majesty!"
"Smack!" Suddenly, Xiao Min raised his hand and slapped her in the face with a loud slap.
The queen covered her reddened cheeks, stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, both strange and familiar.
The queen held back her tears, slowly knelt on the ground, reached out and pulled Xiao Min's trouser leg, regardless of the pain on her face, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that people in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics, but Heng'er is my biological son after all, and I ask Your Majesty to take back her life." ”
"Humph!"
Xiao Min flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, his face a little displeased.
"It's because you're used to him on weekdays that he has such a temperament, and this matter is not negotiable."
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut, and the queen sat down on the ground, her face like ashes.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
Su Weizhong couldn't bear it, slowly squatted down, and said softly: "The queen mother, go back, if the mother continues to make trouble here, it will inevitably anger His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The queen is also a reasonable person, and after a few measurements, she was helped up by the maid,
"Gonggong Xie said it clearly."
Then leave.
"County Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left the palace."
Green Yi said as he grinded the ink.
Gu Nuan's hand holding the book paused, and he smiled softly.
He also suffered by himself, and now that he is gone, it is good that he can be peaceful in this palace for a few days.
"Heng'er."
"Queen Mother, why are you here?"
With tears in her eyes, the queen stepped forward and hugged Xiao Jingheng tightly, touching his face and probing up and down.
I've lost a lot of weight in the past few days.
The five finger prints clearly visible on her face were particularly shocking, Xiao Jingheng gently touched her face, and said with some distress: "He beat you!" ”
The queen smiled and shook her head, but did not speak.
Xiao Jingheng was angry, and unconsciously clenched his fists.
The queen held his hand tightly, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Heng'er, don't worry, the queen mother will definitely find a way to let you go back to the palace." ”
"Your Highness, the hour is getting short."
Shi Fei carried the burden on his back and reminded in a whisper behind Xiao Jingheng.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Jingheng gently patted the queen's shoulder, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Mother, take care!"
The queen had tears in her eyes, if it weren't for the maids around her, she was afraid that she would have fallen down early.
His back faded away and gradually disappeared at the palace gate.
The two of them went out of the imperial city, and there was a carriage parked outside the gate of the imperial city, which was a person from Qingquan Temple, who was here to meet Xiao Jingheng.
The little guy who was driving the car put down his stool next to the carriage, and Xiao Jingheng was about to enter the car, when a beautiful female voice came from behind him.
"Brother Huang."
Xiao Jingheng turned around slowly, and it was Xiao Yuyi standing behind him.
Today, she is dressed in a plain and elegant outfit, not powdered, her face is a little vicissitudes, and she only has an accompanying maid by her side.
"Imperial sister, why are you here?"
Xiao Yuyi took the package from the maid's hand, slowly walked in front of him, put the package in his hand, and said softly: "This time, the imperial brother went to Qingquan Road, the road is far away, and my sister has prepared some dry food in case of emergency. I hope that the royal brother will cherish it. ”
Xiao Jingyi took the package, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his heart.
"I have a royal sister to worry about."
"Brother Huang, don't worry, my sister will definitely find a way to let Brother Huang return to the palace as soon as possible."
The distance between the two was close, Xiao Yuyi turned slightly sideways, leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Xiao Jingheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got into the carriage under Shi Fei's urging.
The carriage moved slowly.
Xiao Jingheng gently lifted the corner of the curtain, looked back, the imperial city was getting farther and farther away, and secretly cheered in his heart, he would come back sooner or later!
"He's gone."
Su Weizhong nodded.
Xiao Min slowly put down the fold in his hand, sighed softly, and then instructed: "Send someone to protect him secretly until he arrives safely, and in addition, take some medicine and send it to the queen." ”
"Yes."
Night is slowly falling.
A corner.
"Your Highness, Xiao Jingheng has already left the palace, or do you want your subordinates to send someone to intercept and kill them on the road?"
"Not necessarily."
Now, Xiao Jingheng was sent to Qingquan Temple, and there is no impact on him in this palace, if there is an accident on the way at this time, with His Majesty's temperament, he will definitely re-investigate.
He doesn't do anything that is risky.
"How's it going with what I asked you to investigate?"
The man put his hands together, knelt on the ground, and said: "The subordinates are incompetent, it seems that someone hindered the matter back then, and so far I still can't find any clues, but the subordinates have another major discovery." ”
"Say."
Xiao Jingyi's expression changed and he turned around slowly.
"The subordinates found that all the people who served by Concubine Chen's side were secretly sent out of the palace, and all those who could be found died, and a new batch of minions entered the palace."
The old lady in the cold palace was also the person who served her mother back then, and she hid in the cold palace for fear that someone would secretly kill her.
It seems that there is indeed another hidden story in the events of that year, and someone secretly erased everyone who participated in the year, in order to prevent him from discovering clues.
Somehow, he always felt that there was a big conspiracy behind it.
Xiao Jingyi sighed, that's it!
Pedal Pedal –
Not far away, there was a sound of sparse footsteps, separated only by a wall from the two.
"Stand down."
The man nodded, and a tiptoe leaped to his feet, fading into the night.
Xiao Jingyi's back was tightly pressed against the wall, holding his breath, and his hand touched the dagger in his waist.
"Where?"
Gu Nuan patted his head, stared at the grass, and explored one by one.
The search was fruitless.
Gu Nuan sat on the ground with his hands on his waist, let out a long breath, and muttered, "It's really fast!" ”
Xiao Jingyi slowly stepped out with one foot, leaned sideways, and slowly approached the end of the wall.
Slowing his breathing, he slowly leaned behind the wall with his dagger in his hand.
Gu Nuan? Why is she here, could it be that she heard all the words just now.
"Hey!"
Gu Nuan slammed in front of him, Xiao Jingyi was startled, and carefully inserted the dagger back into the scabbard.
"I saw someone sneaking around from afar, but I didn't expect it to be you, say, is there any secret that you can't see."
Gu Nuan smiled slyly, stepped forward slowly, pointed his finger at his chest and poked lightly a few times, and the two were only separated by a fist.
Xiao Jingyi hooked his lips, reached out to hold Gu Nuan's fingers, and slowly pressed it to his chest.
