Chapter 258: This Time It's Really Lost
In the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Emperor Li Er was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and reviewing the folds, as if he had long forgotten the disappearance of his son, and the ministers and generals who participated in the search were very puzzled, could it be that the crown prince Li Chengqian was not born to His Majesty?
Or is it that the emperor has given up and is ready to change the crown prince? There is even gossip in Chang'an City that the fourth prince, Li Tai, is becoming more and more favored.
They didn't know that all this was a play written, directed and acted by the emperor himself.
His own son is lost, can he not be in a hurry?
Now I can not care about it at all, it is completely because I am relieved. Leaving his son to Xiao Rui to be fully responsible, secretly protecting, arranging training projects, etc., Xiao Rui is absolutely qualified. Even more thoughtful than his own father. What's not to worry about?
The emperor's attitude not only puzzled the ministers, but even the queen of the harem was suspicious, was the son found?
Li Er refused to admit it, and even acted inexplicably sad. Because he knew that once he admitted that he deliberately exiled his son, the queen would definitely not be finished. In this way, not only will the prince's experience fail, but his harem will also be restless.
Since you didn't find someone, then you don't care about your son's life and death so much, it means that you ...... Are you going to change the crown prince?
For this reason, the queen deliberately quarreled with the emperor, saying that if you live to see people and die, you must see corpses. If you can't find Chengqian, you can change the prince casually, and the concubine will only die......
Li Er couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only write a handwritten promise, which temporarily stabilized the queen.
In the small study, Li Er was flipping through the northern memoranda, and the border was explored, and there were frequent faint movements in the northern grasslands recently, as if something had happened.
"Your Majesty, Master Hou's secret letter." The waiter walked in with an ugly look.
"Oh? Zang Feng's letter? Hahaha, have you already sent Cheng Qian out of Jinxiu Building? I'm looking forward to how he's going to arrange his schoolwork. Li Er took the letter with a smile.
The chamberlain Gao Gao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally lowered his head, the emperor was in a good mood, and did not notice anything unusual until he opened the letter and saw the details of it.
It's true???
Li Erluo stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.
The old waiter knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The slave and maid were not properly employed, which led to the disappearance of the prince and the death penalty." ”
"Hmph, bunch of trash! How many people are on duty? What's the use? Li Er kicked Lao Gao to the ground.
Old Gao shuddered and replied, "Originally, a few people were going to commit suicide to apologize. was stopped by the horse master, and all of them were sent out to make meritorious contributions to find people. If they can't find it, let them come to them. ”
Li Erqi scolded his mother, "I let him go to educate the prince, not let him be a living bodhisattva to save people." You go in person, give him all the power you can muster, and if you can't find anyone, you don't want to come back. ”
The inner servant Lao Gao kowtowed to apologize, and then quickly retreated, and personally led people to Luoyang with a fast horse.
Li Er's side was no longer calm, and the atmosphere in the small study changed from tranquil just now to a gloomy haze in a blink of an eye, depressing to the extreme, as if a spark could ignite Li Er's powder keg.
Several ministers came one after another, and Li Er reprimanded them one by one, as if he was venting his anger, and everyone felt that the emperor was abnormal today.
So someone informed the queen of the situation, after all, the queen has a good name, and whenever Her Majesty is unconscious, she can come forward to dissuade her.
The queen came to the small study, and as soon as she entered the door, she felt that something was wrong. Gently stepped forward to comfort: "Erlang, what's wrong?" Born so atmospheric? With whom? Have you been too tired lately? If you don't take a day off, the dragon body is important. ”
Li Er said with a straight face: "Cheng Qian is missing, and there is no news so far, how can I calm down?" ”
Oh? Or is it because of Cheng Qian?
The queen felt a little comforted in her heart, in the end, the father and son were connected, and Her Majesty was still concerned about her son.
"Alas, it's all to blame on the concubines, they shouldn't be disciplined too strictly, if they don't beat too hard that day, maybe this child won't be impulsive enough to run away from home."
"After searching for so many days, there is no news, probably this child's fate. Erlang, you don't have to worry about it all day long, the whole court is still pointing at you. ”
Li Er blurted out: "This time is different!" ”
After saying that, I regretted it, and when it was over, I said that I missed my mouth.
"Oh? This time is different? What's different? What's the difference? The queen hadn't reacted yet.
At this time, she saw the secret letter on the bookcase. If it was usual, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, let her watch it, she wouldn't watch it. But today is different, she vaguely feels that everything today is related to this secret letter. So I didn't think much about it, and walked over and picked up the secret letter.
Li Er stretched out his hand to stop it, but unfortunately, after all, it was a step too late, and the queen had already started to read.
"Alas, Guanyin, since you have seen it, I will not hide it from you. Cheng Qian really lost it this time. ”
"What?? You mean, this time...... And what about last time? The queen stared at her husband in surprise.
Li Erlao's face flushed, "I originally wanted him to go out to practice, sharpen his mind, and also get in touch with the real world." Secretly sent a team of secret guards to protect it. ”
The queen asked, "So, Seventh?" Cheng Qian ran away, and he can't find it until now, even Xiao Rui, you arranged it all by yourself? ”
Li Er hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Cheng Qian's idea of running away from home is his own." Lao Qi was not arranged by me. I just pushed the boat down the river and helped them escape from the palace and Chang'an. ”
"Your Majesty, you ...... You've made me so miserable! If that's the case, why did you cheat on your concubine? Do you know how worried the concubine is about her son? The Empress cried and threw herself into the Emperor's arms.
Li Er said embarrassedly: "I know, but if you tell the truth, don't you disagree." This is the only way to do it. You have also seen that Cheng Qian is unruly, and he has no people in his heart, so it is not okay. I am for his good, if I can grow this time, I can rest assured that the world will be handed over to him in the future. Otherwise, even if it is handed over to him, he will not be able to keep it. ”
The queen was silent, and then pushed her husband away with a cold snort: "This is all Xiao Rui's bad idea, right?" ”
No, no...... Forehead...... Yes, that's right, it's all Xiao Rui's plan. I thought what he said made sense, so I played it.
The emperor rolled his eyes and threw the pot to his cheap son-in-law Xiao Rui, at this time, if the queen knew that it was all his own plan, would the harem still be peaceful? Son-in-law, you should work hard and carry some infamy for me.
"Hmph, when he comes back, I must settle accounts with him! Where is Cheng Qian now? The concubine wanted to write him a letter...... "Before the queen finished speaking, she saw that the emperor's face was ugly.
Only then did I suddenly remember what the emperor said just now: "This time I really lost it!" ”
That......
Looking down at the secret letter, and reading it quickly, the queen was dizzy...... The emperor hurriedly hugged him.
"Guanyin, Guanyin...... It's okay for the time being, but I haven't found it, I'm still looking for it, no news may be the best news, it means that the child is safe......" The emperor persuaded repeatedly.
"Xiao Rui, this palace is not done with you......" The queen was angry again.
