Chapter 548: The location of the secret edict

At this time, more and more officials were brought into the palace, and even if they found that something was wrong, they wanted to resist, but they were smashed open and forcibly brought in.

And some of the officials and relatives with relatively high status were also forcibly brought into the palace by Xiao Guifei for various reasons.

Some important city defenses were also replaced by the prince's people.

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Xiao Guifei was very happy in her heart, looking at the emperor who had fallen asleep, and the Gao Nei who was trembling and kneeling beside her, she couldn't help laughing.

"Gao Nei, you probably didn't think that you would have this day!"

Gao Neishou looked up at her, his face was paler than white and powder, but the words he said made Xiao Guifei feel inexplicably unhappy.

"Concubine Niangniang, no matter what, please don't hurt the emperor for the sake of the emperor's kindness to you at the beginning!"

"Humph!"

The smile on Concubine Xiao's face disappeared, and she immediately snorted coldly, "It's all like this, what kind of master and servant love is still here, and how much he loves me?" If it weren't for my father's grandfather's face, would he have been nice to me? What's more, he was hooked by Concubine Yuan's *** later, and he didn't even look at me!"

"Anyway, the emperor is true to you!" Gao Nei squire gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, why would the emperor leave the harem to you? No matter how much he has favored Concubine Yuan Niangniang in the past two years, but Concubine Yuan Niangniang has always been a concubine, only you are the only concubine in the harem, and you are the only master of the harem, which shows that in the eyes of the emperor, you are the only one and irreplaceable!"

Hearing this, Xiao Guifei's face looked a little better, and her tone was much happier.

"That's right, this palace is the only master of the harem, as for the concubine of the ***, it's just a kitten and a puppy raised by the emperor on a whim, if it's-"

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the emperor who was still asleep, and sneered, "Now that *** has no one to protect her, I'm going to take a look today, without the emperor's protection, how can she pretend to be a fox to seduce people!"

"Concubine Niangniang!"

Gao Neishou seemed to want to ask for mercy, but was blocked by the concubine, "You'd better shut your stinky mouth, this palace will clean up that *** first, if you make this palace unhappy, this palace will clean you up first."

Hearing this, Gao Neishou had no choice but to close his mouth, but his face was ugly and gray.

Concubine Xiao Guifei proudly came to the front of Concubine Yuan's palace.

She had been locked up for several days, and she hadn't even gone out of the inner hall for a few days, and now the whole hall looked deserted, and she didn't even know where some dead leaves had come from in front of the door, and it was desolate as if no one lived there.

This dilapidated look made Xiao Guifei's heart feel dark, she stood at the door, looked at the rough maid who hurriedly came to salute her, and said coldly, "Go, open the door."

The maid was stunned for a moment and said, "But the emperor said that no one can open the gate without his orders."

"Oh, so the door has been locked for the past few days?"

The maid nodded, "Yes."

"It's a pity that such a delicate beauty as Concubine Yuan is locked up in this small courtyard like a canary."

Xiao Guifei covered her mouth, the corners of her mouth showed a false sympathetic look, and then her expression suddenly turned cold, and she ordered the people behind her.

"Go, open the door for me, I want to see what this *** looks like now!"

"Yes!"

So, in the panicked shouts of the little maid, the two guards kicked the locked door open.

"Get out of here!"

The crowd kicked the maid who was blocking the way, and then rushed into the courtyard with great vigour.

But no one expected that the courtyard was empty, and there was no figure, obviously their voices were so loud, but no one came out of the room, and there was no sound.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Guifei had a faint premonition in her heart.

"Concubine Yuan, come out

!」

She stood there and shouted.

But no one responded.

Now it was almost certain that something was wrong, and she ordered her subordinates with an ugly face, "Go, search for me, see if all these *** are hidden, and get all the *** hidden in it for me!"

"Yes!"

After searching for a while, several guards came out with embarrassed expressions and shook their heads at Xiao Guifei.

"Mother, there's no one in there."

"No one?"

Concubine Xiao's voice instantly sharpened, and the meanness on her face was unmistakable, "Find it for this palace, even if you dig three feet into the ground today, you have to find out that *** for me, I don't believe it, where else can she hide!" In the past few days, the harem is clearly under the control of the main palace, and the main palace doesn't believe it, she can disappear under my nose!"

Several guards had no choice but to continue the search.

It's just that no matter how they searched, even the cabinets and bookshelves were searched and cleaned, but they didn't see anyone.

At this moment, a small chamberlain quickly ran to the side of Xiao Guifei, who was pale, and whispered: "Concubine Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Great Prince said that his people did not find where the edict was, so let you take someone to search carefully again, if you really can't find it, you will find a way to find out the whereabouts of the edict from the emperor's mouth."

"Okay, Hongu knows."

Xiao Guifei suppressed the irritability in her heart, and asked a few people to stay and continue to search for the traces of Concubine Yuan nearby, while she hurried to the emperor's bedroom with people.

The furnishings in the dormitory are very simple, and you can see everything almost at a glance.

"Search for me, inch by inch." ap.

Xiao Guifei sat on the dragon bed and coldly ordered: "On the ground, in the book, the vase, the beams and pillars of the house can not be let go, only it is possible to hide things, even if they are demolished, they have to search for it, the old emperor is not ordinary cunning, it is difficult to find hidden things, if anyone finds something, appreciate a hundred taels of porcelain gold."

As soon as these words fell, the guards were immediately as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and then frantically searched all over the hall.

In this way, everyone searched for nearly an hour, and even the floor was pried open, and the walls were knocked and slammed everywhere, and there was still no trace of the edict.

Looking at the messy dormitory, Xiao Guifei's face turned purple with anger, and she immediately returned to the imperial study with someone.

The emperor was still asleep, and Gao Nei was standing beside him, his head bowed and motionless, like a doll.

"Where is that edict made by the emperor?"

Concubine Xiao Guifei stared at Gao Nei Waiter, with a sense of gritting her teeth, "Don't pretend not to know, my people have already heard about the old emperor's edict."
